The lower road was blocked, several trees had snapped and
fallen from the cliff side running along the upper road. The army was stopped in its tracks until the
front unit finished clearing the way and Harris was stuck hiding in a small
ridge alongside the cliff. When the call
to halt was sounded, Harris thought that he had been spotted by the paladin
caller that rode through announcing “all stop”. Luckily the paladin rode on without any
reaction and Harris had made it to his current place of hiding.

Harris almost screamed when the woman’s voice spoke from
very close behind him, “The only reason you’re alive right now is I might have
a use for you.” Despite the threatening
words, Harris recognized his fellow Templar’s voice, relaxed slightly and
responded, “May in death I be reborn from the wound of our world, my soul returned
from the maze of the abyss.” Harris
turned to face the pint-sized woman.
The Halfling woman explained“I spotted you yesterday but had to be sure it was you. The army isn’t going anywhere today, tonight
I’ll get you into camp. Another templar
is with us but needs to travel to several locations on the upper road. We’ll get you to his tent and then the two of
you can travel ahead of us. You’re
lucky, there are horses and supplies.”
Harris Fairclaw considered sharing his information with the her but decided she wasn’t near important enough to share with…perhaps this
other Templar who had infiltrated the army.
