Dax's scaley skin crawled being bound, even so gingerly. But it was needed, and as he listened to her story, he was glad he could help this woman. A traitor, particularly one who simply did it for luxury, was worse than swamp scum. Even more despicable, he was working with the Thalmor and the Dunmer. "Your plight reaches me, Landstrider." he remarked, testing the strength of his bonds one last time to make sure he could break out of them if need be. "Let us see he does not live to see the dawn." They had a few miles to trek to make it to the next outpost Kris reported, having scouted a bit previously before her assault on the caravan. Stripped down to rags, Argon looked like a slave being sent to an arena. His dark red scales, intermingled with forest green at the edges of his powerful shoulders and saurian snout, gave him a menacing look. It was only heightened by the crown of horns jutting out of the back of his head. He did his best to keep his head down to appear meek, tail staying low to the ground and dragging in a snake-like slither as Kris prodded him forward with his own weaponry. The dirt path became more well trodden once they passed the next rise, and below them they could see a well tended outpost, with two finely constructed scythe-like towers standing amid older ruins and rubble from ages long past. Even now they could see two Dunmner at the tops of each tower, and another two running back and forth as those above shouted out calls. Behind the towers, the roads became paved, though there looked to be no town or city. That was likely past the next foothills of the great mountain of fire. Though there did seem to be a bit of activity within the ruins, likely makeshift guardsmen quarters. Kris would see a familiar horse tied to a post past the towers, knickering about as if it sensed the guard's unease. A part of him simply wished to change plans and pick off the guards from the copse of gnarled trees to the south of the ruins. No, there were too many to kill effectively. If he had to guess there was a dozen in all, give or take with Kris' nemesis Vorn. Her would need to fight them all at some point. Better to do it in surprise in the middle to sow as much confusion as possible. [@Penny]
