Rudgar woke the next morning refreshed and happy. He had a wonderful dinner and looked forward to a nice breakfast. Now to just get start…..there seemed to be a problem his bag was missing. He had been robbed. They actually robed the man who fed them! Now if this was not cause to get upset what was?
He didn’t show how upset he was. He walked straight down to the camp and took a look around. He sneaked around the hedges and corners so no one would see him. No one was cooking anything by the fire. No one was eating anything?
He snuck down behind Lotars tent. He lifted the edge and waited. No one came into the tent. No one had his food anywhere. He couldn’t seal it back. It was early and not many where up. The ones that where up where just waking up? He didn’t understand did they steal his food out of spite? Why would they steal food they didn’t plan on eating? They couldn’t have eaten it the night before. He had a giant pot of chicken stew he made.
The anger he felt dug deep into him. What kind of bandits are these? I’ll have to get some proper ones and befriend them. Then there will be some one to watch my back. I have to get started soon this Lotar isn’t really moving that fast. I know where I can find people. I just have to go closer towards the town. I’ll pick up a good set of people and we’ll be off plundering soon!!
No more of this and none of them will know what I’m up to either. Just have to push this Lotar out of the way and I’ll have command over all of them. Still I sleep vary light this thief must be vary light footed? Maybe I can get them on my side in the end.
The morning went right on and every one awoke. Rudgar needed to get out of there soon. He went to kandel and asked if anyone was going out to scout for new recruits. He said that wasn’t what they where doing today. “That’s my chance no ones looking so I’ll round them all up.” Seeing his chance he took to the woods and told Kandel and let him know he was going out to get more food. Since they would probably need it.
He went walking through the brush and picked berries while he went. They weren’t eggs but they would do for now. It seemed like a nice day to be out. Rudgar enjoyed his walk through the forests. He got nearer to the town and took an unmarked path. He went down to the end where a cave was situated at the other side of a hill.
“Hello is anyone home?”
“Rudgar what are you doing here?”
“Tarin I’ve taken up with some bandits. There not proper ones but they’ll do for now. They have greater numbers up on the weather top. I have gotten a plan and I am going to offer you a chance.”
“What do you mean Rudgar?”
“I mean attacking and plundering the town of Bree!”
“Rally now we’ll have to get a nice number together for that.”
“Tarin pay attention.” He said in a mocking slow manner.
“They have bigger numbers on the weather top.”
“Yes of course. I’ll round up some ruff characters and you can do the same right?”
“The sooner we start the sooner we finish!!”
The two bandits went out into the day with the promise of gold in there minds. They had time and they had lots of people who would want in on this. The town of Bree was large enough to promise a good bounty. Rudgar explained his plans as he went along. Tarin listened intently as they went along.
