Jynx and Elri both were seated on their mounts by the time the other two came out to meet them.  Mask firmly in place and while she looked much calmer than the previous night, it was clear that it was still on her mind.  Giving a stiff nod to the monk as she wasn't in a smiling mood at that particular moment.  Elri did offer a small smile to humor the monk however.  Judging from what they'd learned from the guards and what Thurm had told them, it would be about a two day journey if they managed to keep a steady pace and stopped to let the horses rest since they were the ones carrying such a heavy cargo behind them.  Jynx and Elri took the front as they had the widest range when it came to sensing hostiles.<br/><br/>The information of the cargo was kept to a very small number of people so the changes of bandits knowing what it was was slim but seeing adventurer's protecting it would certainly boost the value just by common sense.  The first day was uneventful as they had little to no troubles other than a family traveling by caravan and small children asking what it was.  Elri and Jynx shared shifts of staying up the first night.  Jynx taking the later shift as she was naturally a night hunter.  After a hearty breakfast, the caravan was on its way again.  Everything had been rather easy till the sun started to fall.  They were in a deep ravine which screamed ambush and as some of the dwarves were looking for a safe place to camp, Jynx's ears snapped up as Elri drew an arrow and knocked it.  Drawing back on the string she fired an arrow up into the rocks as a dull thud was heard and a masked bandit fell dead.<br/><br/>Jynx drew her daggers but stopped as she looked around and spotted dozens of bandits on either side of them.  They were aiming arrows at the adventurers and the non-combatants.  Doing the math Jynx looked up to see a bald male with a rather nasty scar down the middle of his face step out with a sinister smile.<br/>"Now whatda we have er boys?"<br/>Jynx just glanced around as the male held up his hand.<br/>"Ah ah...wouldn't get any wise idea's kitty.  Open them ears..."<br/>Jynx knew what he was referring to.  Only a dozen men were visible but there was easily fifty more waiting in the rocks, hidden from view.  Sighing she sheathed her daggers and held her hands up as Elri put the arrow back and did the same.<br/><br/>"Smart lass.  Take their weapons and bind their hands...best put a muzzle on the kitty."<br/>Jynx just glared at the male as they were stripped of their weapons, a few males getting rather handsy around her chest and backside, and then their wrists were bond.  Everyone was walked down a rather rough path to a large open area, a staging point by the looks of the fires and the tins of food.  Make shift cages held Jynx and the others, individually, small caves with metal caged doors.  Sitting on the cool stone in her cage she simply closed her eyes and listened as the dwarves were loaded into another cell.  The adventurers were the only one's put in single cells.
