When Cody asked his question, the Paladin spared his student a glance. [color=SteelBlue]"Entirely possible, since we don't exactly know where their base of operations is in here."[/color] A moment later a pair of men, one younger than the other, and both looked like they'd been travelling for awhile, after announcing they were unarmed. The call of parlay by the young man was somewhat confusing, but his companion corrected him, so he saw no need to add to it. Once the pair was away from the bush, James spoke, his blade and shield unmoving. [color=SteelBlue]"Awfully well armored for being unarmed."[/color] The older of the pair went on to explain they were simply traveling and didn't want trouble. James narrowed his eyes, but didn't attack, his instincts telling him they weren't with the gangs. [color=SteelBlue]"Very well then. First retrieve your weapons and then we can discuss which direction is safe for you to travel in. There are dark wizards in these woods and we're here on guild business."[/color] [hr] [center][h2][color=DarkGreen]Hunter Jorgenson|Island Paradigm[/color][/h2][/center] [center][@Crimson Raven][@MarshiestMallow]@everyone else[/center] Hunter grimaced at the distinct dismissal of the information by Long Coat Guy, but appreciated Zero coming to help him better explain it. Of course, after a cursory sniff of the air, he realized that the different hints of scent he was getting was different types of dragons. Which caused him to blanch as he realized the implications. Of course, before he could say anything, several others put their two cents in. The red head got under his skin and he rounded on her, but before he could open his mouth to really light her up, his magic beginning to coalesce around his fist, when Long Coat Guy starts talking to thin air, stopping the Jade Dragon Slayer in his tracks.[color=DarkGreen]"So...was it a good idea to invite the nutjob?"[/color]
