"We won't be here forever but no one will miss us at home so we'll be around for a while."

*He takes a seat on the rubble where orestis pointed. He would hope that orestis himself would rest as he reached for his flask and called over one of his men to hand over a tumbler, he pours in some of his ale and holds it out to orestis*

"You even sound exhausted, come take a drink, it'll help you relax just a little"
Kelly
`"Oh of course no one can ever stay somewhere forever, you see the reason I asked for you to join, is because there isn't much left of a fighting force here, maybe just one thousand more or less the rest are just civilians, no everyone can be soldiers, with that we have all this gear that can be given to you so you can help us."`

*As he was offered ale he would take it from the man and drink a few swigs occasionally.*

`"This is pretty good, I ask you what are your thoughts on demon lords? Demon's? Do you believe them all bad and all evil?"`
Robert
"Folk are folk... Your race doesn't make you good or bad. I've seen some real sleazy bastards at home so who's to really judge on the whole racial superiority thing. Its a load of bollocks"

*Not only he but his men also clearly feel the same, because of how humbled this fighting force are and how stripped they are of any sense of higher purpose or being, they just stopped judging at face value*
Kelly
`"Your different then most and this is a certainly one commendable, stance you have across most of the world that sentient can get you killed or at the very least your tongues pulled out by nobility or royals not wanting that sentient to grow amongst there people."`

*He shrugged as he took another drink of the liquor before handing back the cup towards the man not wanting to be greedy, or come off as such.*

`"Oh this reminds me, there are roughly, more or less three or four hundred thousand people here, the young and old won't be able to make the journey, to a better place, and there is no real way to walk with such a big force the logistics are just impossible, what would you say that people split off into different groups of maybe 12 thousand to 50,000 each and head off in different directions until one group can find a suitable place and tell the other groups then they can all meet back up as one?"`

*He placed a hand on his head trying to think of a plan it would not be feasible to march with a couple hundred thousand people no one will allow that marching into there nation it would be practically an invasion so splitting it into groups makes it manageable.*
Robert
"Eh I've killed too many of your people, I was on my way to becoming some fancy lieutenant but frankly watching the rest of my 'noble esteemed peers' become worse than the enemies we were told about certainly... Well puts a foul taste in the mouth that just doesn't wash out. But eh I'm not into that traitor stuff"

*He sighs with melancholy and takes his cup back, he nods at orestis to let him know that he's always welcome to take more if he wanted*

"You need to listen to your merchants here actually. They've travelled the roads pretty well and know many of the routes they can stop at. Of you are going to split up, tell your people that they can make food out of unconventional things like muscles, the leather in your shoes and belts, forage for acorns if you can and honestly some of you don't need to eat for a week, your stomach will get used to it. Trust me we've been through the wringer and we all know about surviving with little"
Kelly
`"So you used to be in the sicarals army? What strange turn of events, I also don't delve into the traitor things either"`

*As he said to ask the merchants and listen to them about the pathways and places they could go and stop at that was a wonderful idea he hadn't thought of that it was more of a pick up pick a direction on the map and go.Z

`"That's good to know thank you for the advice, given this wintery climate it'll be hard to forage for anything other then what you mentioned, we had the city stores for food, grain and dried meats taken, even clothes and gold, silver and copper taken the other towns and cities that didn't get looted can split whatever they have amongst everyone some old friends of mine did it, I know naught what to think of them now vultures or friends."`
