Rowan quietly gets the others attention and motions to the rocking man. The young Hermaphrodite frowns deeply 'he looks like the very young virgin some of Harris' roudy mates got a hold off after they dumped her for dead..'

"They're...they were all demons," the smith said. "Or something. When the sun rose they just...vanished." HE shook his head. "Said they had everything they needed." He ok his head and looked around. "It's the end of the world," he said, suddenly calm. "And we're just waiting for it all to be over."

Rowan looks kind of confused but pats the smith comfortingly on the shoulder 'there be no end till all our blood is gone from our bodies.. untill then we fight with all we have and take joy in the smaller things until the seasons change.. winter must eventually give way to spring and so the beasts will eventually give way to our better plans.. till that we give them a good bashing till their brains go squelching over the bloody ground.' Rowan peers at him 'be you with us to find more like minded warriors? If you cant find your balls to fight you can help by keeping our weapons sharp so we can keep them at bay.' Rowan flushes a bit.. not one much for rallying speeches.

The smith wipes his face then nods. "Maybe...maybe you're right," he said. Dan came up and called out. "All right, mount up everyone, we still got our horses here from earlier. He hands Rowan a shirt with the three impaled dragons on it. "Welcome to the Order, Rowan of Coldsteel."

Rowan grins and grabs Dan in a bear hug before putting it on with welled up eyes 'wow.. thank you.. so.. lets go kill some more beasties.' Rowan says the last werily 'or lets just get the hell put of here and someplace we can get a little sleep and some sharpening done.' Rowan mounts a new horse clumsily but less so than a few days before.

"We're not sticking around," Dan said. "Those monsters have allies now, our old brothers, and until we warn everyone what's coming...there's no sense fighting. If we die, the world will have no warning of what's about to hit it before the battle's already started." He shook his head. "Hopefully this isn't our last ride," he noted. The horsemen mounted up and began their long ride Across the unmarked desert. "We have an outpost west of here we can take a ship from," he continued as they rode. "Then we tell the Queen what's going on and see how she wants to handle it."

Rowan nods an affirmative as they ride. 'I just hope they cant swim or fly that far..'

"They shouldn't be able to get this far before sunrise," Dan said. "They aren't fast, but our comrades...well, I don't know if they are effected by the sun or not," he admitted. All day they ride until the top of a small tower can be seen, a wall around t visible after another few miles. The lonely outpost is smaller than Coldsteel was, a single ship in its single dock port. "When we get there we tell them what happened and head out," Dan said.

Rowan nods a few times. 'Alright.. anything you want collecting or should i just find out when the ship leaves?'

"We'll find out then what's going on," Dan said. "Keep your eyes open though. If this goes deeper than it looks there's no telling what might happen."

Rowan nods sharply once and keeping ready to draw an axe their eyes search for trouble monsters or anything that could be a threat while the weary group move through the city.

The outpost is manned by only a few people, and they greet the weary warriors and listen to Dan explain the situation. "We'll leave tonight," the garrison commander decided. "This fort is impossible to hold if the army has fallen."

Once plans are made Rowan would busy themself helping pack up moving whatever they need onto the ship and once the boring chores are done they find a place to settle and give their poor abused axes some tlc and a good sharpen after the last few days of battle.. after all bashing a beastie with a blunt edge is no fun at all.

The ship sails shortly enough and begins moving south. Carolyn and her husband sit near Rowan. "Sticking with us?" She asked, as the sun rose slowly in the east, "or are you heading back to Westeros when we get to Slayer's Bay?"

Rowan looks at her from where tbey are watching the sun and smile wryly 'I do not have much to go back to.. and you seem to have a little niche for my blood hungry battle lust and love of skull smashing.. I would be happy to stay if you'd have me?'
