Lotar
His feet began to sink in the mud, and rain poured down his face and over his cloak, drenching him through. But through the rain he doubted anyone could fail to hear him.
'You are a cold and ruthless man Guthwine. You are indeed a soldier. But not all is about war! We are not animals! Though these rabble have made that statement less than clear!' he heaved a bit after this, and turned his back.
'See if you can manage to get everyone back to the camp. Im going to do the honourable thing!'
Running back towards the farm, all the calls of protests were drowned out by the storm. Leaning back against the farmhouse wall, he carefuly looked about around the corner.
There, slightly out of sight, was Soran. It looked like he had fallen. Not giving thought to caution, Lotar snuck past the open front door of the farmhouse, and bolted to the mans aid.
Lifting him carefully up, he muttered 'By Eru Soran, you worried me! Lets get you back to a warm cot'
Feeling his head tentatively, he looked at the angry trickle of blood on his fingers. He thanked the Gods SOran was not far from the shelter of the trees when he fell.
Kandel
Shifting position again, and stretching out his shoulders, Kandel peered through inky black. He hadnt said a word to Kirima for quite a few hours.
He was about to open his mouth when he heard the sounds of many running feet. Through the night came the troop of bandits, first from his original company, then the new recruits.
Scanning them, he saw no sign of his father. He did not waste time in pulling Guthwine aside.
'Where is Lotar!' he said lowly
'He is a fool' is all Guthwine muttered.
Balling his fist, Kandel set out into the trees to look for his father...
