Will gave no resist to being put on a stretcher and carried to Robin's tent. His skin crawled knowing where he was, but for now he would keep his mouth shut about it. He sat up and looked around before Conrad came in. The same man who ordered his men to be hanged, ordered his wife and daughter to be killed, and branded him a killer and wanted dead. A flash of fury was in his eyes as his hands twitch, trying not to lunge at Conrad and rip his neck off. He saw the plate and goblet and took them, not saying a word to Conrad and began to drink and eat.

Will was fine until he Pentre walked in. When he finished asking about the collar, Will had just sat his food and drink down. He then turned and lunged at Pentre, grabbing him by his collar and lifting him up, his claws out and his eyes red. "You send those assassins after us, nearly destroy the village and almost killed everyone. The only thing you should be asking for is for me not to tear your throat out right now." Will told him, ready to tear apart Pentre. If he wanted to, now that Elesa wasn't in view of him, he could be free to do that if he was pushed more.

Mason would finish digging into his food, wiping his mouth with the sleeve on his shirt, before the smoke would return and Crow sat before everyone. She would take one of the bowls and cross her legs, bringing the bowl to her and digging in. She would take a long sip, and smile at it. It was surprisingly good, and she would continue guzzling it down. It wasn't lady like to be certain, but with everyone else asleep, she could freely enjoy it. Mason would chuckle, as he thought about Will. He needed to have a talk with him later, but that could wait until they have eaten and rested. After the stew was done, Crow would grab the bread and eat it as Raven and Mason spoke to her.

"That Pentre makes me more and more mad every time I see him..."

"That bastard killed me three times...How do you think I feel..."

"We'll get him eventually....good things come to those who wait...right?"

She says, biting into the bread and guzzling down the water, finishing off her meal with a pleased smile, pushing her hair out of her face and peeking out at the other tents, sensing the presence of the rest of her friends. She would sigh in relief before going back inside her own tent, letting Raven take over so she could eat as well.

Merry would withdraw her arms as the men drew close and tried to touch her, opting to use her Aura Wind to jump over them and land safely beside Organna and her equine friends. Far too many new faces and far too many negative auras for Merry's liking, and Merry would opt to stay with Glitter, Moonlight, Pixel, and Organna.

Glitter would give a scornful look to the whips and prods the slavers carried, and Moonlight would fluff her wings and shake her mane wearily. Pixel would hide away beside Glitter's horn while Organna smirks and walks right up to the campfire, finding an archer just finishing up tending to his bow, "Hey, you wanna score some real meat for the spits? There's a good sized golden grass buck 500 yards out at your 4 o'clock. If you think you can make the shot, I'll bring back the kill and volunteer to clean and cook it. Or are you not up for a challenge because it's being presented to you by an Orc?" Organna says tauntingly, seeing if she could get the archer to take the shot. She had been walking all day and she was starving, so she was not lying about there being a worthy kill where she said it was. And a rare prize like a 10 point buck would surely be a welcomed change from the almost meatless broth that was the common rabbit stew they currently had simmering.

Once Raven had taken over their body, she would also sip the stew, and would smile at its flavor, her face turning red. She would sip it delicately, as her mother had always taught her to be ladylike. She would drink it down, before taking the bread and biting into it, smiling even more as she took the water and drank it down, finishing the bread shortly thereafter. She would let out a satisfied sigh, placing a hand on her stomach as she leaned against the wall, trying to keep her eyes open.

"I didn't think the three of us would be able to eat that much..."

"Me either...though given everything we've been through, I'm not entirely surprised..."

"Like my mother always said, there's nothing like a good meal to soothe the heart and bring people together."

"Your mother really said that?"

"She did! I remember her saying that!"

Crow says happily as Raven smiles and takes one of the blankets in her hands, folding it up to make it a pillow, as she uses the other one and creates a spell to duplicate it, creating more blankets. She would then stack those blankets ontop of each other to create something similar to a mattress, before lying down on it and using two of the covers to cover herself and keep her warm. Her eyes would grow heavy and she would slowly start drifting off to sleep, trusting that her friends would wake her up when it was time to travel to Mercia.

Will desperately fought not to break the man, his grip getting tighter. He listened to what Pentre said before setting him down. "Remember this, I put this collar on you to protect my family. Now, I'll take it the hell off you whenever I feel like it. But for now..." Will said, putting Pentre down and taking one of his claw and drug it across Pentre's cheek, drawing a bit a blood. "It'll be twice as bad next time you pull a stunt like that. Now, Get out!" Will said before literally kicking Pentre out of his chest, sending him rolling out before falling backwards, landing on the floor from the burst of adrenaline dying out.

Will's eye shined red as a burst of rage surged through Will. In the blink of an eye, Will had already bolted out the tent, grabbed Pentre by the throat, drug him a few feet through the dirt, and was on top of him, his hands around his neck, choking Pentre. "You dare speak about them after what you did to them! I'll kill you!" Will shouted loudly as he started to change, his cheek getting sucked into his face, outlining his teeth and jaws.

Organna glared at the archer as he spoke to her and pointed out the goods available to slaves, "Tch... Another rude ass human. Go figure. No one makes a slave out of Organna Fistic Bouldoor. I'm here as an escort to the Priestess of Gaia." she says as she turns to walk away, catching Will and Pentre's exchange out of the corner of her eye and grinning malevolently, "Oh? Things just got interesting..." she growls as she draws her axe and takes a sprinting charge toward the pair, "Thats it Will!! Hold that maggot right there!! I owe him one for Jimmy!!" she calls out before giving a jump and drawing her axe high like an excecutioner, locked onto Pentre's head and set to split it open like a grape on a butcher block.

Merry would see this just in time and took her own rush to get to Will, charging up a sphere of her aura and blasting it toward Organna before gathering her momentum and thrusting herself into Will's side, aiming to tackle him and get him off of Pentre before Pentre's head popped off.

Organna would be totally blind sided by Merry's attack, "Whoppe- AAAH!!" she shouts as Merry's attack hits her and sends her falling to the ground with a loud grunt, dazed from the sudden attack, but it could have been far worse, as she had heard an arrow whizz by her head a split second after Merry's attack hit her, knocking her clear of the arrows path of flight and ultimately saving her life.

Merry would cling to Will whether her tackle budged him or not, "Will!! Stop!! Please!! Get ahold of yourself!!" she pleads loudly, trying to snap Will out of his rage. Turning to send a closed eyed glare to Pentre, "By the name of Mother Gaia and all her holy forces, I command you, be silent and stand at attention like a proper guard!!" Merry calls out, trying her best to tap into the dragons magic whithin the Sigil collar to shut Pentre up and make a statue out of him so he wouldn't cause any more verbal harm for the moment. Then she was back to hoping that she could get through to Will before the darkness inside him took more control of him.

Audemar looked at Lwyncelyne, "I have nowhere to go. I have been roaming this place without a destination and I believe that now, it's time I stay somewhere." The sorcerer gave a small smile to his now, closest friend.

Organna got to her feet again as Merry focused herself on Will, hearing Pentre run his mouth yet again, she reaches for him and jerks him to his feet and close enough to kiss her before planting her fist in his stomach, followed rapidly by her knee to his groin. She'd then throw him to the ground and commenced stomping dent after dent into the back of Pentre's armor with her boot, "MERRY just TOLD you to SHUT the MOTHER Gaia FORSAKEN Hell UP you FILTHY... FOUL mouthed... WRETCHED excuse for a LOW-LIFE... SEA crustation of a MAGGOT!!! IT'S YOUR KIND THAT MAKE ME HATE HUMANS!!!" the orc warrioress roars at Pentre as she literally stomps him into the ground and leaves him beaten and bruzed, but very much alive, if unconscious from the onslaught.

(Each all caps point before the full bold is another stomp to the center of Pentre's back Organna dealt, just to clarify for the phrasing. Also if this is too much, just let me know and I'll dial back, ok? I apologize too if that's the case and hope that there are no hard feelings OOC.)

Sleep had almost come to her. Almost. She would open her eyes and moan, sensing that something was amiss nearby. Raven would turn into Crow, and Crow would stand up, pick up the staff, and pull apart the tents door flaps as she peeked around outside. She could hear the yelling as clear as day, and after a moment she would step out and head in the direction of the noise. She would approach cautiously. She would open the tent and cautiously walk inside, to see Will, Merry, Organna, and Pentre all standing around. Will was holding Pentre, and Merry was holding Will while Organna was dazed on the ground. She would just blink at all the commotion, standing in the doorway.

"What in the heavens....what is going on in here??"

Though Pentre's comment about women made her turn her head towards Pentre, as she stared daggers at him once more. It was no longer a question of what was going on, but of how badly was Pentre hurt. Not like she really cared. She would fold her arms and lean against the wall, smirking at Pentre as Organna beat the snot out of him. As far as she was concerned, he was getting what he deserved. She would stand there and watch before speaking up.

"Perhaps next time, you'll keep your mouth shut in the presence of women who can beat the snot out of you with their eyes shut and one hand died behind their back..."

She says before approaching Will, kneeling down in front of him. The smoke would surround her once more, and Mason would be standing in front of him. He had hoped that his familiar face would help to calm Will down as he went in for a hug.

"Will....Calm down...you and I still have to talk...."

Will was so close to popping Pentre's head like a balloon, Conrad's comments not helping at all. When Merry tackled him, she caught him off guard and managed get him off of Pentre. His eyes glowed red with rage as he looked at Merry, her weight not enough to stop him from sitting up. But then, she started to plead for Will to calm down. Pentre's word would counteract Merry's for a short time, but Organna taking care of him helped Merry's cause. Slowly, he started to calm his, his face going back to its original state and his eyes changed back to normal. When He saw Mason, that put the nail in the coffin for the darkness as Will closed his eyes and slouched back, fast asleep from the adrenaline rush wearing off. For now he was asleep, this time with no life threatening injuries. This was the first time he had slept in days, and he was out like a fire under water.
