Two days later, on a bright and sunny morning, King Chaltas'* little group was ready to start.
Tormondel had handed them off to a man who took them to where they would sleep that night...
A large house with huge bedrooms and velvet curtains. The night had passed uneventfully and now they all stood in a group listening to the person in charge of tents and supplies--- A rather annoying man called Cheos. He was wishing them luck and had been for so long that nobody was listening anymore, they were talking to each other or simply looking about.
Finally he got to what he was supposed to give them.
"I have orders to give you tents and food, plus water and skins to carry it in. You will also each get a backpack with sevral items in it. The tents are large, so we will put two people in each one to save you having to carry extra pounds. I was supposed to just assign people to tents randomly, but I thought that maybe you'd like a say in who goes where. So, who and who want to share the first tent?"
He lifted up a tent as though this was an auction. Kor and Karla were first up, Karla sporting a new dragon dagger that had been Kor's with her rune longsword. They took a tent to share.
Tenling glanced over at Zarren, a fellow elf, who nodded. Tenling got a tent.
Laressa and Filiana were next, the vampire and werewolf keeping together.
Lacin looked over at Shay<cen>tay and Kethen, shuddered, and decided to share with Zenthon. They got a tent.
That left Shay<cen>tay and Kethen to share the last tent.
Once everyone was packed up and ready to go, the gates of the city opened and they were let out into the wild.
