As D'ren started to leave the building the mage stopped him and said
he should buy some armor and weapons. As D'ren was looking through the
items the old mage had he spotted and assortment of Elvin made equipment.
After D'ren asked how much the mage said they were free but any purchases
after that he would have to pay. As D'ren put on the boots chain, mail,
helmet, gloves and as he grabbed the bow the mage said that the quiver was
enchanted to be able to make its own arrows and never run out.
Shortly after D'ren was outside he spotted a guard that was carrying around a bow. As D'ren walked up to him the guard stopped and asked if he needed anything. D'ren asked if the guard could teach him how to use a bow and the guard agreed to do it for 50 gold coins. After D'ren paid him the guard shown him how to hold and aim a bow properly. With his new found knowledge he started out of the gates to the north.
After walking about ten miles he spotted a wagon under attack by a group of bandits. He pulled out his bow and shot three arrows and hit each of the bandits. As they hit the ground he slowly walked up to the wagon as a couple looked out to see if it was safe. When the couple saw the dead bandits on the ground they came out and thanked D'ren and offered if there was anything they could do to help him out.
"I am heading north to Demons Pass."
"We ourselves are heading north but we have no protection. You can keep anything that you find on the bandits bodies."
As D'ren checked the bandits he found 100 gold coins and a rusty dagger. After traveling for eight days they arrived and the entrance of Demons Pass. The man whose name turned out to be Geoffrey Taraland Ashe said that D'ren should get out and walk beside the horses in case any wild animals would attack. As D'ren walked beside the wagon they started to make their way through the Pass. About half way through they were attacked by three wolves and D'ren easily took care of them.
Once they made their way through they started North at a faster pace toward Telkara the city of elves. As they came upon an encampment D'ren said he would go ahead and check it out. As he approached ten men came out each holding a shotgun and wearing heavy plate mail.
"What business do you have here Elf?"
"I mean no harm I was traveling through the woods and came across your camp and was wondering if you would provide me hospitality for the night."
"You may spend here the night but as soon as dawn come you leave or die."
"I understand."
As he walked back to the wagon he told Geoffrey to go on ahead without him. Later that night when he was in the leader's tent he found out that they were bounty hunters looking for the village of the Jal-Tara the Cold blooded human lizards of the swamp. D'ren and the poacher's leader came to an agreement. If D'ren would help them find the Jal-Tara the poachers in return would take him to the Elvin city. The next day D'ren set out to look for the Jal-Tara while other poachers went different directions. After four hours of looking D'ren was about to head back when he spotted the village. Because D'ren could not stand anything being killed for money he told the Chieftain of the poachers plan. Once the Jal- Tara all left to search for the poachers he looked through the tents and found some necklaces made from bone and other items. He thought he would be able to sell these so he took them and started north once again toward the Elvin city.
After another week of walking he came to the entrance of the city but it wasn't on the ground. It was build in the trees but there was a tree that had a staircase heading up to the city. He started to climb the staircase toward the city.
