Ru's New Crew

[DM Grizwald]

*Ru storms out from the Four Winds warehouse in a huff, steam practically shooting out of her nostrils and ears. She's not seen afterwards for several days. Rumors have it she left town.

However, upon arrival two days later, Ru is followed by three massive half orc women. The type of woman where their neck starts just at the bottom of their ear lobes and is as thick as some tree trunks. Big thick veins are seen popping out from neck, bicep and quads and clubs in hand as these three ladies follow the little elf back inside the warehouse. Those near enough to the warehouse can hear a mild commotion from within.*

   In the weeks following the commotion at the Four Winds a few deliveries arrive but the ship and wagons have recently ceased moving.  The usual bustle around the warehouse slows, and there are changes in the faces guarding the property. 

   Some days there seems to be a never-ending line of visitors though most do not linger long.  On quiet days, Ru is seen taking walks around the city, however she stays within the walls.  She delivers her usual small packages to locals and visits the children at Hope’s Cradle where a small girl with too much wisdom for her years is quick with questions.  Rumors run wild and grow with each telling.  Inquiries and expressions of concern are met with vague deflections about patiently weathering storms and silver linings. 

   The only certainty is that the Four Winds are shifting.

A moon passes in relative silence around the Four Winds before a short string of official looking visitors is received.  The crew bursts into a sudden flurry of activity in the following days as they begin preparing the wagons and ship for travel.  Ru and Kalien are seen leaving the city to the North.  Two of the three large half orc women can be seen standing guard or oftentimes sparring on the grounds.
