Winchester/Fairfield Expedition - Depature

[winfield]

[After working for roughly a day and a half, nearly nonstop for some of you, the town's looking both healthier and hardier. With most (if not all) of the expeditioners contributing to reparation and building, you've managed to get a lot of work done: all the buildings have at least been patched up to some extent, and the poor broken fence is now standing and sturdy. You've even managed to get together a couple outposts. Nothing fancy-- they're just elevated platforms, really-- but they serve their purpose of allowing people to see far out quite well.

It's probably best to start heading back now, though, since you need the supplies you brought to last you the trip home.]

At least a few more days. They're still unarmed. What if the Collectors return for another attack?

[fuckelves]

I agree - we've only just arrived, how are we certain the danger has passed?

[He's really just upset because he didn't get the opportunity to contribute as much as he would have liked. Thorin feels the need to prove himself to the others, and feels he failed to do so on this mission, thus he's reluctant for it to end.]

[sworn]

[She nods, in actual agreement with the both. But she fears that such a large group would only be a drain on the brand new community.]

As large as we are, we cannot all stay. However, a smaller group should remain behind to continue to lend aid and keep watch. Would you be part of that?

[fuckelves]

I would be open to such an idea, yes.

[Let it not be said that Thorin Oakenshield shied away from conflict or danger.]

[sworn]

[She gives the dwarf a smart nod. Good to see he's living up to his bravado. She'll turn to the younger one.]

And you? Would you stay as well?

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine bites her lip, pondering the idea. While she wants to help these people, the Dead Zone's power-cancelling effect makes her uncomfortable. More than that, her presence would likely make people who cared for her stay behind as well... some of which who were less battle savvy. Ultimately though, she could probably do more good here than back at the castle, at least in the short run.]

I would.

[sworn]

[She gives a nod to her as well.]

You both will want to speak with Freelancer York. He will be spearheading this endeavor while I will do my best to help lead the others back to the castle.

[Dairine smiles. York... she remembers that name. He shouldn't be too hard to find.]

Thanks. Go well, and take care on the road back.
