Search Party

After their run in with great white wolf, the party talks what they have learned and continue their search for three more days before returning to main body to give their report. With the recent events and their leader missing, disorder has fallen on the tribe of desert women. Not sure what is the right course of action, the second leads her people south as was planed out by their leader. As the tribe moves south scouts find a remote village and three are sent to investigate.

It would be midday. Three women approach the gate of the small village, two are dressed in exotic clothing that is very flowing and reveling. One has jade color hair and wears black while the other has pink hair and wears red. Both are young and are of average height. As the third is dress in a more monist and traditional garment of a loss fitting white and black kimono on her slim body. Her red hair is pulled back into a pony tail. Her forehead and cheek has red tribal markings. Standing over six in height, she towers over the other. A smoke pipe rest between her lips. With long carved blade that fits her height resting the back of the red sash around her waist, she is the only one of the group that appears to be arm. There seems to be some cross talk between the two younger ones as they come closer to the gate.

Scattered around the outskirts of the village at key points where roads lead into Theden, are small groups of guards posted to keep an eye out on people coming into Theden and watch for any sign of threat to the village or things that may cause trouble.

With the approach of the three women, the elven ranger is the first to take note of the approach, her gaze falling upon the three as she gives the signal that someone approaches. With the signal from the ranger, the four guards stationed at the road quickly liven up as they jump from where they had been sitting, two sitting around playing a dice game while the other two tended there weapons and armor. Watching the three the ranger grips her bow as she reaches back for an arrow, her gaze locked on the three like a hawk, though from her point of view the three didn't look to be of any kind of threat. As the guards move into there positions they look towards the three approaching and like the ranger they quickly get the same impression that these three where no threat, though they are more along the lines of eye candy. The gate rested open as it does through the day unless it needed to be shut, a welcoming site that invited travelers into the village. " Greetings! " One of the guards calls out to the group of three, his hand raising into the air to wave to them, though he is quickly nudged in the side by another of the guards. Having seen the one that was armed, the ranger fixes her gaze upon her for a moment.

With the care free greeting coming from the male guard, the smallest girl which is the one with pink hair pause in her moment. The hand of the tall woman touches her shoulder and the sleeve kimono drapes around the small girl that looks up at her scared face.

"That man is weaving at us...."

"Don't worry I am right here. There is no need to be afraid. It is just a man."

"Do we really have to go talk to them?"

"Yes we do. They may know something."

The pink hair girl holds on to the cloth tall woman kimono as she use her to hide from the four men.
Seeing the guard weaving, the jade haired woman would weave back to him with a big smile on her face.

"Hi hi! Lovely day we have isn't it? Maybe you guys can help us out and tell us what the name of this town is?"

She would move towards the group of guards as she addresses them and ask the question. While the other two come up behind her.

After waving to the three women, the guard lets his hand fall back to his side as the four watch the three approach. The four guards all papered to be rather young, perhaps in there later teens and all seemed to be rather green as one greeted the three females in a rather jovial manner. Though the four soldiers where rather green, the ranger placed at the gate to help them guard was not but seeing as the three females where of no threat the ranger does nothing but watch the three. The four listen as the green haired woman speaks up and as she asks the name of the town one of the guards speaks up, " You have come to Theden. " The guard said with a soft smile as he looks at the green hard woman, the other three guards standing not far from the one speaking to the green hard woman. " Is there anything I can give you directions too, perhaps the tavern or the shops. " The guard added.

A stream of smoke flows from between the lips of the very tall red head. Her one eye that wasn't covered by the long locks of hair, seems to be closed as she speaks in a cold tone.

"Reika, stop playing with those children. We have things to tend too."

The girl with lime hair glances back at the red head who has starts to follow the path with the pink hair girl holding on to her. Looking back at the group of guards, the lime hair girl gives them a nerviest grin as she rubs the back of her head.

"Hmm thanks but they seem to be in a rush so.... It is ok if we go in right? Good thought so. Have a good afternoon."

She would give them a light weave as she steps back a few steps before running off two the other two. Anyone attempting to stop her would get the stink eye from the tall red head giving off the scary vibe.

The guard, having been glad to have a fetching young lady to speak to frowns softly when he hears that she has to go. Standing guard at the gate was not really a fun thing to do unless something happened that made it fun but something like that never really happened. Having no true reason to keep the green haired girl at the gate to talk to the guard simply gives a nod and a goodbye to the woman since she has to leave, not stopping her as she goes to leave and meet back with her companions the guard watches her for a moment before another gives him a nudge, bringing his attention back to the card game they had been playing before the interruption.

The three women or rather the tall red head and the two girls, walk into the small village. The girl with lime hair blinks for a moment as she looks around at the buildings. She look over at the red head.

"Wow this place looks like it came right out of an RPG."

The pink hair girl pops her head out to question the meaning.

"R... P.... G?"

The lime hair girl pauses for a moment and put a finger on her lip.

"Hmm, it is a type of game where to play the part of the character in the story. Most of them have a medieval type of feel for to them."

".... hun? ....."

"Reika, stop playing around."

The gaze of the red head looks down on the girl and she gets a chill up her spin.

"... You know I'm like all grateful that you saved me from the big monster thing that was going to eat me but you could be a little nice to me. I did turn on your holy relic thingy after all."

"......"

"Um so where we going to look first? This place isn't every big."

"The tavern?"

"Ah yes the tavern. I should have thought about that to start with. In any good RGP if you need info you go to the tavern. The people in there always know everything that is going now...."

"Reika...."

"I know I know."

Strolling along through the streets moved the large white wolf, his gaze slowly shifting as he glances from villager to villager as he makes his way forwards. The sight of the large wolf didn't bother any of the villagers as one would think, the prolonged exposure to the large beast in the village had become a normal sight for the people of Theden, the villagers even going so far as to give the large wolf greetings, waves, and even a few pets here and there from the children. As one of the village children come up to the large wolf he comes to as top and looks down at the child, no more then eight or nine years of age. The child looks at the large wolf and reaches out, softly scratching him on the snout, " Hello Ulfy, how are you doing today? " The child asks as he scratches the beasts nose. Having come to a stop in front of the child, the large wolf lets the child scratch his nice with a smile and listens as the child speaks. With the question the large wolf begins to speak, " I am doing good and how are you doing young one? " The wolf asks as he looks down at the little girl. Having come to a stop, the large wolf stood not far from the tavern and would be visible to the three on there approach to the tavern.

The three lovely ladies stand there for a few moments looking over the village to see a sign for the tavern.... A few minutes will pass, then a few more minutes before anything is said.

"Um.... what building is the tavern?"

"....."

"....."

The red head woman's hand comes up to rub her head as she look around the village that is puzzling to her. It seems more like a lot of random houses with no thought of how they should be placed. Bandit encampments where of organized then this back water village.

"Hmm normally they are along a main road and have a sign to lore travelers to them."

"So... Poor city planning? That is never a good thing. That is why the Lower Commons were the slums. To many dark alleys and dead end. Go down the wrong street and need up at a brick wall and five perverts wanting to rap you. So maybe we should have took that cop up on his offer for directions...."

The pink haired girl's eyes wide as the lime haired girl talks about getting trapped by perverts in a dark alley. Her eyes dart around at the people in the village, then she see the big wolf about to eat a little kid.

"I don't like this place anymore.... Why don't we go back and just follow the lake line south like mother wanted us too."

The red head gives the lime haired girl this evil eye once again before picking the pink haired girl up like under her arm to carry like she is a sack causing the girl to let out a yap. Seeing the big wolf the lime haired girl points at him.

"Hey that is the big wolf we saw in the woods I told you about.... I think... unless they are just a common thing around here...."

The red eye of the tall woman shift to the animal in question. It was indeed a large wolf like she told her about. Her body shift to walk towards the beast stopping in front of him, minding the small child under her feet.

"You. Have you seen a woman that looks like this girl? I would be taller, and has blue eyes?"

The tall red head that stands taller than the large wolf, holds up the pink hair girl by the collar of her dress as she looks down at him. The pink hair girl just blinks as she is held in mid air.

The little girl smiles as she scratches the wolfs snout, listening as he speaks to her, " I'm doing fine. " She says with a faint nod as she shifts her hand to scratch one of the large wolves ears. As the girl begins to scratch his ear, Ulfric shuts his eyes as he lowers his head more while enjoying the scratching. Both the little girl and Ulfric are oblivious to the approach of the red haired female, that is until she speaks up. Hearing someone above her causes the girl to gasp and pull back her hand as she shifts to move to Ulfrics side and look at the two in front of him. Opening his eyes again the large wolf lifts his head, first looking to the female that stood in front of him before he glances to the little girl she holds. " Perhaps.. " Ulfric murmurs lightly as he shifts his gaze over the little girl for a brief moment before he shifts to sniff at the little girl for a moment to get her scent.

With the wolf sniffing at her the girl screams and kicks her feet wildly at him to get him away. The red head holding her like a living missing persons poster pulls her away from him. She was clearly not happy at the answer she got from the simple question she had asked. Seeing this, a sweat bead draws on the face of the lime haired girl. She rubs the back of her head as she gives a slight grin.

"Perhaps?"

She returns the answers back to him as a question. Smoke is drawn from the pipe and blown down onto the wolf.

"Now now Red. We are all friends here. There is no need to get upset. We are all friends here and the nice wolf will answer your question. Right Mr. Wolf? You think you know where we can find this nice girls mommy?"

When the little girl begins to scream and flail about like a crazed bag of badgers the large wolf quickly pulls away from her and frowns faintly at the little girls reaction. Looking to the one holding the bag of badgers, the wolf gives a faint nod. Upon hearing a familiar voice the large wolf finally notices the female from before when he was in the forest. Shifting his gaze to the green haired girl he smiles faintly at her while listening to her speak. " Hello there. Her mother.. " the large wolf says as he glances to the young girl again, " I'm afraid I don't, however if you are speaking of the one you asked about before in the forest, then I can take you to the one that is related to her mother. He may know where she is. "

The red headed woman eye the large beast while the pink hair girl calms down and just hangs there from the grip of the tall woman. Her eyes blink a few times as she wonders who he could be talking about.

"Related?"

It was clear that the two women were more than puzzled at the beast words. Both of the men the belonged to the woman in question were killed over two years ago and the only male offspring she has in back at the encampment they just left. Coming to the only other conclusion, the red headed woman's eye narrows.

"Yuki.... He is here?"

"Yuki!"

"Yuki? Who is that?"

The red head woman lets the pink hair girl free, causing her to fall to the ground like a rock. She turns to look at the lime hair girl.

"Ed ec hu muhkan cyva rana cu nadinh du lysb yht dammdra udrance ev fa yna hud pylg ph hekrdvymm du pinh dra jemmyka du dra knuit, Reika."

The girl blinks for a moment as it was a lot for her to take in. She seems a bit lost by the red heads words and glances around like she has missed something.

"You sure?"

"Get going!"

A sweat bead draws on her face before she nods are waves bye to the big doggy. With her leaving the red head looks back at the big wolf.

"Alright take us to him if that is all you can do."

With his gaze upon the red haired female, the large wolf gives a faint nod as she makes the comment in response to him saying he knew who was related to her. When she mentions Yuki, the large wolf gives another nod to confirm what she had said and as she drops the little girl he quickly shifts his gaze to look down at the girl that had fallen to the ground. " That wasn't nice. " The large wolf murmurs as he looks back to the red haired female. Something was said in a different tongue then he knew so the large wolf wondered what was going on since he seemed to be a bit out of the loop now. Something seem to have changed now that Yuki had been brought up and the wolf wondered what was going on. The wolf shifts his gaze to the green haired female he had met before gives a faint nod as she waves bye to him. Turning his gaze back to the red haired one as she speaks, the large wolf gives a faint nod, " Alright, follow me. " He says before he turns and begins to walk away to lead the females.
