Ercuion and Nefal remain lounging underneath a tree waiting for the word from Thranduil to start heading out.
"Nefal, I want you to listen to me on this, stay as far away from Lossenfirthion as possible. I don't want you doing anything stupid to get yourself killed, I'm already regretting myself for letting you come" said Ercuion stroking his chin.
"Yes" Nefal said rather irritatingly and it appeared he wasn't totally paying attention to his brother.
"Thankyou" replied Ercuion.
Targon comes to join the two brothers. "I must warn you" he says "I've gotten word that spiders have already been spotted outside the city walls. It seems like we'll get the taste of battle sooner then I expected. I won't always be there to watch out for you, so you must be prepared to watch out for yourselves." Targon spots Thranduil off in the distance, "Ahh, I must be off, I need to discuss some matters with Thranduil."
Targon strides up to Thranduil, who right now is by himself, Targon notices that Thranduil is in deep thought.
"Greetings Thranduil, do you have a couple minutes?" asked Targon.
"Yes, I always have time for you Targon, what do you need?"
"I was wondering," Targon says "if the spiders have already been spotted around outside the city walls, why don't we go out in full force and attack them now. Of course, leave people back to defend the city, but clearly they are already closing in around the city."
Thranduil rubs his eyes, he seems tired, "Truthfully, we do not know the exact location of the spiders, we don't know where they are coming from. The purpose of this small group is to scout ahead and try to find that location. We'll deal with how we will finish them monsters off when we find their exact location."
"I understand" Targon says. Targon spots Uragonia approaching, he bows to Thranduil, "that was all I needed, thankyou my lord."
"Tell everyone to prepare to head out, we will be leaving soon" Thranduil says.
"Yes, my lord" Targon walks back to rejoin Ercuion and Nefal. "Get your things ready, I have word from Thranduil we will be leaving soon."
"About time I get to see some action, now Thranduil will really get to see my skill" Nefal says enthusiastically. Nefal runs off to go get his supplies.
"That's the most excitement I've seen from him since, well since, I told him he could come along" Ercuion laughs faintly.
