1.1 Things Go Bumping in the Night

[tab][/tab] Maia's attempt to calmed down the boy had failed and the father does not want his son out there tonight, has he not suffered enough. The red cap understands and backs down, the youth is clearly too shaken to be of any help. Instead she talks to old Tasha about Telonia. It seems they are creatures of the fae, dark and twisted, living in caves and coming out to deal mayhem and murder (for more information, look here, third posting under fae realm).
[tab][/tab] Under the direction of sir Georgios the guard quickly goes to the barracks and returns with an armful of short spears tipped with iron heads. Seems all the guards are using spears and are familiar with them. Sturdy hafts with somewhat polished tips, these are standard spears used by most inexperienced army recruits. The guard quickly passes the spears around. The teamsters take them apprehensively, like being handed a dead snake, while the scout looks at it bemusedly and ties it on his back like a javelin. He moves competently to the fore to track, speaking very little greek as he is a northern slav.
