as the days go by the group back tracks into the plains leading into the months of frostmorne the group stop to camp for each night getting closer and closer to the border of the far north of Tamrisil feeling the air getting colder and colder each day they stop for camp,in six going onto seven days as the sun is setting Kurt starts to see snowfall the ground covered in permafrost and void of trees.
"The far north.....glad to be back home" Kurt says to himself in thought looking out the cockpit pooking out at a pack of wolves watching them run off
"snow snow and more snow whats worst we gotta traverse this frocking place in the winter" Raloran says "so im guessing no one here ever been to the far north yet?" Raloran asks looking around
"i actually have" Kurt says keeping his eyes on the road
"Bullshrock" Raloran says
"It's the truth i was born in a small village near Tauro stayed for a good time with my dad and then i left for reasons" Kurt says
"Huh well thats something" Raloran says "never would have pegged you as a northerner maybe after were done we can go to your place and sample the local liquor" he says and Lady rubs her head a bit and Kurt turns back to put his eyes on the road
"Yeah bet that would be nice" Kurt says in a somewhat sorrowful tone but shakes it off keeping his focus on the road. After a bit of time they see the sun setting and Kurt parks the Land Treader to the side and Kurt gets up stretching "gods good to finally stop for the night" Kurt says and looks at the others abou to head out but then notice Raloran with his arms full of scrap and he seem to be wearing a new set of scale mail armor as green as a snake with pauldrons on his shoulders greeves with purple glowing gems in the front scaled bottoms with a purple belt around his waist,wearing a set of goggles on his head
"Huh got some new armor huh" Kurt asks suprised by it
"Nice huh? Silent to created with some serpant scales i found under that blacksmiths shop" Raloran says flaunting it
"Right....." Kurt says rubbing his neck "look Raloran I'm sorry about the other day i just" he gets stopped by Raloran
"Its fine Kurt to be honest i don't really care anymore i understand but remember what i said if we die im hunting your ass in the afterlife" he says
"Right" Kurt says and hands him a pouch of gold and he takes. As the night comes and the camp is made outside the four sit by the fire with Raloran strumming on a lute a bit and Kurt is looking at the fire intently
"Once we get to Tauro who do we talk to Kurt about the rune?" Raloran says keeping up his strumming and Kurt shakes off his thought
"Oh uh that would be Tarvon Stonecloak he's the mayor of the city" Kurt says "Tauro isn't old fashion with a palace and all that there more......modernize and share technology with those in Cragsin" he adds "Tarvon is a ok guy but for a halfling he's a coward always hiding behind his office when he has to do actual work but he's our best bet of knowing where the rune is" Kurt explains. As he does the group starts to notice the pounding of multiple hooves,a rough tremor coming closer and closer,and the sound of a war crys yelling out,wolf howls horses screaming all in a evil yet monsterous tone out into the early night "What the...." Kurt says looking off towrds where its all coming from seeing a red light coming towrds them speeding past them are demonic looking soldiers there skin a bright red and horns on there foreheads wearing black scale mail armor armed with barbed spears riding on blackened horses with there manes and tails a lit with flames and glowing red eyes and following them are darkened hounds with ferocious maws with red eyes alit like embers barking ferociously but a few stop to the group and Kurt and the others get up getting ready. Lady with her shortswords rushes off at a hound and stabs at its head causing it to become easily weakened then rushes off hiding among some brush,Raloran with his rifle ready firing at a soldier hitting his body then Pulls out his hornet drone from his sack and has it fire off a shot at the weakened hellhound with its stinger blasting the hound down on its side dead,the infernal soldiers throw there spears at Raloran and though there ready to hit Raloran touches his gauntlet causing a bubble like shield to block both the spears then a both flaming horses rush at him and try to stomp him out with there hooves but the bubble stays strong not even a rushing hellhound can bite through it with its large maw,Kurt assess the whole fight and then with his greatsword rushes at a hound cleaving at it multiple times cutting it into three sections then cuts at a soldier hitting him but it seem to not do much
