Meet with your new allies.

The night passes uneventfully, and in the morning you gather your new recruits in your home, planning your next move.

once you are all there, you begin to speak.

"So, we have a few goals, and we need to figure out how to achieve them. First off, we will need more recruits, as four men do not a rebellion make. Secondly, I took a leap of faith with the woman. My intuition tells me that she won't betray us, but in case I'm wrong, we need a secret place, somewhere to hide if she brings the army back with her. Third, we need to gather supplies, weapons, armor and the like. How should we go about this?"

the room is quiet for a moment, then Dorian speaks.

"People always rally behind a hero. If we could make you appear as one, I could then quietly recruit men to our cause. They would be much more open if they see you as a savior."

"True," you say, an idea striking you. "And I have just the thing for it." you laugh, thinking of the bear-thing you killed back at the manor.

Siris speaks now, his voice quiet.

"The hiding spot will be easy, I know just the spot, a cave about an hour's walk north of here. you would never find it If you didn't know where to look. "

you nod your thanks to Siris.

"In that case," Colter chimes in "I can make the weapons and armor, all I need is a working forge."

"I saw one when I searched the old Duskwood manor yesterday. you should be able to use that one." you reply, pleased with your little group's progress. "Come to think of it, I also need to go there, I killed something that might be of use to our recruitment plan."

"oh? then I guess I should come along." Dorian proclaims.

"So, off to the manor then?"
