Snippet #2733471

Aldor hadn't noticed the way the town seemed to be more crowded than usual. He had lived in the town all his life and this was nothing new to him. He heard shouting from across the square, but he couldn't hear exactly what was being said. Suddenly, he saw an armored figure running right at him with a huge sword.

"I paid for the wine, I swear!" He said as he made a shield appear out of nowhere. It was made of solid shadow and had an almost smoke-like appearance. He braced himself for an attack as the woman in armor ran close. Then she stopped.

"You... Do you know your way around this town, Elf?" She asked him.

Aldor paused and the shield seemed to evaporate as he realized what was going on. He stood up straight and laughed nervously.

"Sorry, I thought you wanted something else. Yes, I know the town really well. How can I help you?

Reyleph was dangerously dehydrated. He was barely able to walk to when he saw Ithor in the distance. He managed to drag himself to the town. The farms along the outskirts of the town had a powerful aroma of livestock. Reyleph knew where there were animals there would be water available. He crossed a pasture with a herd of cattle in it and made his way to the barn where he found the water trough and stuck his head in and drank as much as he could without a care about how clean the water was.

After drinking his fill, Reyleph looked down. He could only imagine what anyone who saw him would think when they saw him, he was in nothing more than a loin cloth and had shackles on his wrists and ankles. He was still a little dizzy and he needed food. He didn't think that it would be a good idea to go anywhere with the shackles, so he searched the barn until he found a hack saw and he used it to cut the shackles off. As he walked into the shopping district he took the clothes off a scarecrow he saw out in the field and put them on so he would be less conspicuous. It was just a pair of overalls as the shirt didn't fit. He got to the market district and he suddenly felt dizzy and light-headed. He began to stagger and his vision went dark before he blacked out and fainted in the middle of the town square.
