Alagrath walked around the forest, bow in hand. He saw a small squirrel on a branch and shot at it. He missed and it jumped to the ground and ran. Alagrath followed the squirrel because it's the only thing to eat he'd seen all day and he didn't want to lose it to predators. The squirrel eventually led to a river.It was seated on the river bank, chewing on something. Alagrath lined up the shot. He hit the squirrel and he put it in his pack. He stopped to look around, but he heard something.
"Shouting." He thought. He listened carefully to make sure that they weren't bandits. He heard a girls voice. He didn't remember seeing any women with the bandits. He decided to walk upstream to find the shouting people. He slowly walked up river until he came across a boy on the banks of a river and a girl almost to the other side. Alagrath knocked an arrow and pointed it at the boy, who because of his bow and the fact he wasn't waist deep in water, was a greater threat.
"Who are you?" Alagrath demanded.

John glanced at the guy who had just joined the standoff. "Is this a meet and greet? I'm John," he said as he laid his bow down, hoping to show a sign of peace.

Eventually he came to the local river, but something was off, he could hear talking and a figure by a tree he was not sure what was happening so he quitely hid in a shrub behind the figure by the tree, to see what he was doing.

Alagrath slowly releases the tension on his bowstring and points his bow at the ground, arrow still knocked.
"I heard some yelling, are you guys all right?" He asked. "I'm Alagrath by the way."

"I followed her footprints here," John said, gesturing to the girl. "I figured if she hadn't bothered to cover them up, she was in trouble. I came to see if she needed help."

Sale decided that it would would be a ample time to appear from the shrubs and introduce himself as well, so he passed the boy/man figure near the tree and leaped down to the river "Hello! I'm sale! A pleasure to meet he all!" He bowed while he spoke

John jumped back at the sudden appearance of the new guy. "Shit!" he shouted as he took a step back. "I'm starting to feel like this was a bad idea," John said, getting nervous by the excess amount of people.

Sale said "Sorry to scare Ye friend! I was watching from a distance a dicided to join in in this little social event of yours!"

Riley began to laugh. It was pretty comical when you thought about it, she hadn't seen humans in weeks and now they all appear at once? She couldn't quite believe it. "Hi all, I'm Riley." She smiled and loosened her grip on the knife. She was still nervous that this was some kind of gang but they all seemed fairly safe. "It was pretty dumb for me not to cover my tracks, huh? I figured if i reached the river quick enough and ran then it wouldn't matter too much but it seems like you were right on my tail..." She stood in there in slight disbelief.

Sale was not sure if these men were part of some clan or reading party or no, so he quickly clarified "No my good lady, I can not speak for these fellows but I assure you that I have not been hunting you"

"Yeah, the only thing I've been hunting is squirrels, and even that hasn't been going so well..." Alagrath said to Riley.

"Neither have I. You know I've lived in these forests for years, and I've never seen anyone outside of my family. But I haven't seen a lot of things in this forest I presume," John said. "Look I live in an abandoned town not far from here. If I trust you guys, and you find it, there's shelter and food there," John said as he filled up his canteen, and then ran off. He wondered if telling them about the town was a bad idea. But if they spent the time to search for it they'd be trustworthy. At least he believed so.

Riley watched as the guy ran off. An abandoned town? She never really thought about joining a group but it didn't sound half bad, you get water, food, shelter and company. She decided that she'd go and find it when it was light again. "I'm going to set out for it when it's light out. What about you?" She questioned the others.

"I am most definitely coming. Food, shelter, probably warmth on top of that. Sounds fun." Alagrath replied.

John arrived back at the town and set up a fire to cook his food. After skinning the animals he put them on a spit and let them roast. He looked from his window to the gate that was supposed to keep people out. If the others showed up maybe they could all fix it up so it was a bit safer.

Alagrath followed John back to his camp. He kept a safe distance though, as to be sure that John wasn't leading him into a trap. He saw that he didn't have anyone else in his camp, so Alagrath assumed that he was telling the truth. Alagrath walked up to where John had his fire, and tossed the squirrel in his pack next to the fire.
"Room for one more?" Alagrath asked.

John looked up at him and smiled. "As long as you do your part, yeah."

"Well you can have some of the squirrel I shot." Alagrath says as he gestures towards the dead animal on the ground. "Need help with anything?"

Sale however did not follow this man called John for he was deciding if he should go to.his clan and tell the. Of this "town" so they can add more territory and prove himself as a potential leader, or scout it out for himself and see if it really existed, for if he went back and it turned out that this John man was lying he would be flogged. He turned to the lady "Very well, yes I shall go" Sale them began to walk to wherever this supposed camp was.

John skinned Algarath's squirrel and put it on the spit. "If you could start sorting any supplies that would be great. I want to block off the entrance so only someone inside can open it.
