"Gerald." Lys nods. "Hopefully we have eluded your pursuers. Will you be leading us into the Empire now?"

[SerGavin]

"well we have to go soon otherwise all that stealthy business was for nowt"

[Nightwulf]

"I agree we should leave as soon as possible. But we should stay off the road,anyone who comes looking for us will most likely search along it." Akarrus says.

"The ranger is correct. We should get off the road."

Gerald quickly heads off the road into the forest on the left, and motions for you to follow.

Lys walks up beside Gerald as they proceed and says, "I think now would be a very good time for you to come out with what it is, exactly, that you are looking for. You promised treasures of various sorts. Certainly, by what's been happening, I'm ready to believe that whatever it is you're after is valuable. To you and to whoever it is that attacked us." The elven cleric looked at Gerald sharply and continued, "It would also be good to know how long a journey we are looking at and what sort of dangers we might be facing. I am only an acolyte and if we are facing some particularly horrid creatures ahead then I feel it is only fair to warn you that my healing abilities are very minor."

[Nightwulf]

Akarrus follows once in the forest he seems to flicker. He walks behind the group in silence.

"Ah, but of course" Gerald replies to Lys. "I'm afraid I can't tell you what I'm after, but I can give you an idea of what we might face. Goblins, my dear. Kobolds. Worgs. Those are the things that come to mind."

[SerGavin]

"Oh good, This is going to be exiting. I've never seen a worg before, it should be quite the experience."
