The scene got too busy for Oirendial, so she got up from her branch and moved to a tree farther in the the forest, calling backwards. "If anyone needs me....get over it." As she walked away she wondered, she wants to be alone, no doubt about that, however. They did promise a fair amount of gold when they got home, and that Kaelmourn said there was a forest nearby his home. And he was definitely intriguing. She decided to sleep on it and decide the next day, as it wasn't a pressing matter.

Drugo woke up from his short nap, he was a bit fatigued and needed to rest it off instead of meditating. His eyes opened and he made a loud yawn. He saw that everyone was asleep, well except for Kaelmourn. He then heard someone say something but he knew he wasn't involved in it. Instinctively as Drugo woke up, needed a little walk to make up for waiting for the morning.

This new dark elf carried an odd curved long sword and seemed to not be as threatening and hostile as the first. Sentar thought he might actually be a pleasant companion for the journey. "Well met Drugo what reason does this band travel all this distance for?"

Drugo looked at the man curiously. "I came here to seek out my old pal Kaelmourn. Because it's my job to ensure his safety, I have failed this time but I won't fail him again." Drugo then observed the man, "Come, we will walk this morning before the sun comes up." He then walked by the man and started walking around in the forest.

"I love the forest Drugo, things are constantly being created here, new life and new possibilities. If I were to finish this journey with you, would there be a nearby forest for me to claim?" Drugo was an interesting man, he was much more relaxed than this friend, is it because he has enough strength that he lives with less fear?

Drugo gave out a laugh and said, "I do not have power over authority or dictation. I am just a fellow swordsman, and besides...this is all up to Kaelmourn to decide. He has the authority over the Blackwater territory." He then crossed his hands behind his back and leisurely kept walking. The sights were amazing to see. The trees were but of oak and the birds were gentle as they were native tweeting birds. The sky was still dark but a small touch of red from the early sun beyond the horizon.

"Just who is Kaelmourn? Is he your leader, he had said he was a pirate, but not the captain. Speaking of which why are you pirates wandering out in these grassy plains? Have you no ship to sail?" Once Sentar started thinking of it he wondered why the pirates had no boat did they not have a Druid who could shape a tree into a boat?

"Indeed I have revealed too much. We come as we please, I do not know the intentions of Kaelmourn's quest, but I hope is was from the return of diplomatic affairs.", Drugo said as he eyed the druid. "You are but a mercenary aren't you, and what would it mean for you to care about countries and wars when it's all in good pay?" Drugo was glad they were alittle far from camp so no one would hear but them too. Drugo then halt to a stop and sat on a log.

"I am no mercenary, I am a wanderer lost in this world. I am lost and must find my own path. I come from the woods with the teaching that cities are vile and evil mechanisms that kill the green life of the land and allow it to rot without use. I come with the ideal that creation is the highest way to honor the world wether it be promoting the growth and life of nature or the crafting of great works of men."
"I ask not for gaining knowledge of your land so I may use it against you, but so I might gain knowledge of your creations and those of this land, so I may find my place in it all."

"You may find in it as much as you please. We pirates are wanderers of the waters, and of course we also wander the lands, but it is not too often that we do such unless things become drastic. I am sure you might find water life more pleasing to watch as animals of the sea come and go." Drugo then got back up. He kept his slow and mellow pace in the direction of the others. "I am indeed honored by your sense of good judgement and good will. We do need all the help we can get. I would be glad if you were to join us"

"I am wary to wholly commit myself to any nation just yet, but the way I see it is that right now traveling with you pirates will help me explore this land and gain the life and combat experiences I will need to create great works. Who knows one day I might craft you a wonderous iron wood ship for you to ride the seas with."

"Indeed, I'm starting to see the point of why you call yourself a wanderer." Drugo and sentar then came back to camp, for they haven't gotten too far of a distance. Drugo then sat back down to the tree that he originally rested at. Drugo then looked up at sentar and said, "The forest is nice isn't it? I don't visit the woods too often, but when I do I like to listen and rest with the sounds of the wind and the animals. I'm sure you druids hear it too. The sounds of life."

"Yes, the forest is happy right now. Drugo I believe you may have been a Druid in your past life. I had not expected to find a city dweller to have this much respect for nature. I am glad to have met you, and indeed the forest accepts you, you shall be welcome in my woods as you are one that respects the woods. Have you heard of the Black Forest? That is where I intend to build my grove. I can imagine it now my workshop filled with ents helping me create the most amazing works, walls that will heal, wooden ships harder than steal or lighter than a feather skimming across the water at speeds you can't even imagine. Ahh" Sentar sat back against the tree sighing at the sight of the sun rising, the beauty of a new day being created.

Kaelmourn sat on the branch of a large tree to watch the camp, eyes carefully watching the Druid as he walked off into the forest with his first mate. He was suspicious of this druid and disdained his attitude, even though it matched his own inner personality that he kept from the world. If he was to get anywhere he had to keep it secret, allies preferred freedom over enslavement. His hidden crimson eyes just watched their heat signatures for a while as they wandered.
Almost instinctively he drew his bow and readied an arrow though did not pull back. He remembered his training with such weapons, to never hold the string when he wanted to aim. You aimed before-hand and then pulled, then readjusted...then fired. The Drow Ranger didn't see a reason to shoot, not yet at least, so for now he just watched them silently.

Drugo felt that waiting this time in the morning was too long. "Hey Kaelmourn!", Drugo said to grab Kaelmourn's attention and crossed his arms, "How long do you plan on waiting, I'm ready to head back. And where is the human?" The sun was levitating over the distance and shone through the branches and leaves onto the side of Drugo's face making him look more tribal or mystical where he stood.
