Doing rounds around the town quickly grew dull for Feron. The residents didn’t approach him as they did to some of the other Slayers, and he himself didn’t mind. At most, he offered them a curt reply or sharp nod as acknowledgement and that brief interaction was enough to drive many off. The distance was only so long and, even carrying his weapon, Feron didn’t tire easily. His mind grew bored and wandered far before, and soon enough he paused his patrol. 

Peering into the sea of trees that surrounded the road to Irontown, he shook his head to dismiss the thoughts. The bandits were many, but he guessed they would be in hiding now. It just wouldn’t be profitable for them to try their luck with so many Dragonslayers arriving at the settlement, but then again... there were always idiots. 

Turning away from the main road, he wandered around seemingly without much direction until he had found himself back at the inn. The atmosphere of the town did little but sour his mood. There was a sense of despair and defeat in the air, even with the arrival of Dragonslayers. Hope found nowhere to take root, not without a demonstration that life would get better for these folks. 

Grumbling to himself, he set the warhammer and his trio of stakes down against the inn’s walls as he entered the building again. Aside from patrolling the town’s perimeter there wasn’t much Feron could do and that rankled him a bit. So it was good that the first thing he caught when he stepped into the inn was, “I'd suggest waiting until we have one or two more people to join us, though. From my impression of the place, there's a lot of dragons out there. Don't want to get jumped by a group of them and not have the fire-power to get out of there alive, after all.”

He walked over to the gathering around the Dragonslayers and surprised the ring of villagers with a light tap on the shoulder. Unsurprising, given how he had made no sound with his approach, a rather impressive feat with how wooden floorboards liked to creak at the most inopportune of moments. With a fair number of the residents staring at the hulking man that had made his presence known, Feron stated, [b]“I will join this expedition.”[/b]
