Watching from the shadows

"That sounds like a plan." Balor agree.

"What shall we call you?" Tiella asked as the tall Jotun reached down to pick up the unconscious form of Luna.

"Erik." Rumbled the giant.

"A real life giant." Kespin marvelled poking Erik in the leg as if checking he was real.

"Leave the nice Jotun alone." Dyvia said gently pulling Kespin away.

The group started to leave but Tiella noticed that Majvoc was not moving. "Coming?" She asked.

"You want us to sit in a cave with that?" Majvoc pointed up toward Erik.

"You could stay here and wait for more trolls?" She said sweetly.

"Bloody hell, fine." He cursed as he followed along.

From the shadows of the nearby trees Borrs watched the company depart.

"You did well." Came the voice of Harlequin from behind and Borrs turned to face him.

"They died easily, the battle at the Hoff and the run to this grove made them tired, easy prey." Borrs growled.

"All the better. The intent was to draw the Jotun into our plans not to kill them."

"Who is the old man." Asked Borrs.

"He is not part of the plan." Mused Harlequin, "I will consider his fate."

They were silent for a time then as they watched the companions leave.

"What next." Aksed Borrs at last.

"We watch and we wait my dear Borrs. We watch and we wait."
