Snippet #7772

It was full moon last night, so this should be a busy day for Theodor. He and his Veterans were asked to help the Phoniän guardsmen. Today all kinds of creatures gathered in the capital, with all kinds of wares. Theodor changed into his travel's outfit. He rendezvoused with his Veterans at the south side of the market, pointing out places that should be watched carefully. After that they started patrolling in groups of three. Theodor and his group marched to the gate. He didn't go on a patrol, he and his Chosen had a special assignment. They had to guard the chieftain of a tribe they wanted to ally with, if they were succesful it would be great. But one of their enemies could attack, and if they would succeed in killing the chieftain it would start a war between the Agovorian and the tribe that had lost it's chieftain. But it would probably not happen, there hadn't been an enemy that dared to attack them on a Grandtrade-day. The Warlord and his Chosen walked to the small port at the lake, there should the chieftain arrive. And Theodor was right, the chieftain arrived there, right on time, with his personal guard as well. The tribe they came from was a Boarmen Tribe, good warriors, not very smart. Theodor introduced himself, speaking the language of the Boarmen Tribe flawless. He discussed his plans with the chieftain, and they started the trip. They hadn't any trouble getting to the mayor's estate, they wished each other a good day, and departed. The sun was undergoing when Theodor and his Chosen walked to the market, they were free for the rest of the day. When they arrived at the market it was less crowdy than when they had left the capital. But there were enough creatures left in the market, buying and selling stuff, catching up with eachother. It was a cool evening, great for a campfire. Theodor would make one when all his men had finished their duty. And so it happened, when the sun was gone a large campfire was made, in the middel of the square, in the norht-west part of Phoniän. The drums were beating, a traveling tradesman told a story and the others were listening. It had been a great day and the capital had made a lot profit on this Grandtrade-day, and a valueable ally.
