The light frolicking seems to amuse the Elf guiding the group, and after it's done he tips his head back to Eli.<strong>"A pleasure to meet you, then."</strong>He said as he cast a nod back to Ari.<strong>"I'll keep it in mind, but after proving a damper on your party's healing abilities, I'd prefer not to be any more trouble; especially when we aren't that far. We'll be there well before nightfall. Well, So long as one of us does not lose their hand for being playful with Galtean soldiers."</strong>He jested with Varon before quickening his pace, seeming to be in quite the hurry to reach the destination.<br/><br/>And so it went on, and just as the elf has said, a medium sized settlement came into view in just a few hours. It looked perhaps be a small town, or large village. It was set in a strategic location in the woods, and seemed to make way in and around a natural clearing rather then being made from an area lumberers had cleared out. There was a wooden wall around the area supported by the trees, and at the gates two guards were settled into place; one a human, and the other a gnome.<strong>"Hail travelers! Welcome to the town of Kiergrove."</strong>The gnome spoke out from his small view, and the human followed with a brief nod of his head. It seemed the typical watch, and equipped in light armor with spears.<br/><br/>Lucius slowed then as he nodded toward the pair at the gates, and seemed to take a survey of the town otherwise. It seemed a mix of elven and human make to those who recognized architecture in the group, and judging from the welcoming crew it was a mixed community.<strong>"Seems the town is alright."</strong>Lucius spoke to the others, and turned toward them.<strong>"I thank you again for rescuing me, and while I'm not permitted to say anything of the situation, the head of the townsmeet here is. Seek him out at the town hall if you wish. Here is where I go though."</strong>He speaks in seriousness before turning to head off at a quick pace.<br/><br/>This leaves the rest of the group in a mixed community that seems to have much to offer. There is minor stonework only in certain areas, with most of the buildings made of alchemical treated wood. There is indeed a thoroughfare for wagons, and cobblestone paths for those on foot. It's obviously fairly prosperous, but a look at the guards would state at what kind of military it has. Surely, if the elves are having trouble, the same might soon be said about this town.
