Fer cocked his head to one side with a slight look of confusion as Cole detailed his plan.  He wondered if Cole’s earth was different than his own.  Other than by force or coercion, there was no magic that Fer knew that could make people do what they wanted.  Of course, there was the old wives tales of curses or possessions but Fer did not think that Cole was versed in the dark arcane arts of mountain witches.  
Regardless, the young shield hero nodded. [color=0054a6] “Yes Cole I think your suggestion of getting supplies is a good one.”[/color] He turned to Auriel[color=0054a6] “Any company would be appreciated.”[/color] He said with a slight smile.  Almost reluctantly but with a conviction that made it seem he was trying to move past his own barriers, he turned to the beast man.  [color=0054a6]“The invitation is extended to you of course”[/color] His tone was as friendly as it could be but with a slight tone of reluctance. 

He then turned to Cole. [color=2e3192] “I definitely think we should split up; multiple targets are harder to track and keep an eye out for.  When I was a tracker, we had to pick a target and stick with it.  Sometimes it was the wrong one and you had wasted days of monitoring.”[/color]

He gave nod to the three of them and headed for the door.  If anybody followed him they would visit various stands.  He first made his way to the stalls selling dried meat.  Just because they knew the location of the bandit leader there was no guarantee she would be there.  It might be days before they spotted her.  He used the gold the King had given him which he felt belonged to the people anyways.  He bought what he felt was good enough for about seven or so days.  He also stopped by and bought some wine skins.  After he was done with getting dried fruit, cheeses and even some camping equipment he looked like a he was planning a trip or was some sort of tinker sales man.  He figured the later would be a perfect disguise and was thankful for the Shield’s ability to increase his endurance and strength. 

Eventually he made his way to the prescribed meting place.  He was a bit sad he was not able to use any of the bows or knives displayed on the walls.  He gave an acknowledging nod to the young assistant that had outfitted him in his first day on this world.  He waited until  everybody was there.  

[color=0054a6]“I took the liberty of selecting our food stuff among other thing.  I mean, as the shield  I should make myself useful right?”[/color] He said in a clearly sarcastic voice.  [color=0054a6]“Ok Dulaman, I think we should learn as much as you know about Rayla.  Cole can also explain his plan.” [/color] He nodded to his two male companions.  [color=0054a6]“Finally, Auriel can help us see the error of our ways as she is the one that may have more experience with this world.”[/color]
