Stormy with a Chance of Sports

General Summary

The train to Harvest is a long one, but new friends make the journey more pleasant.   The plucky company of Myles, his intellectual friend Isaac, and the withdrawn, and dangerous looking dwarf Dalondratin joined the crew's carriage at East Port and accompanied them to Harvest. Another band of hopeful hunters.   Another group of rather dangerous individuals joined the train there also. One of them apparently friends with Tyranis Hammersmith - the orc hunter who escaped after Jeremiah Whitaker was taken hostage on the Black Rose. Fortunately he didn't appear to notice the sleeping crew.   A long day and night later - Harvest. The city of Silos. A busy place filled with people and their own strange customs. A world apart from the metropolitan Harena. Merchants from the Mauney Merchant Guild had arrived ahead of time to hawk their wares, and recover some of the lost costs of serving the bounty and travel arrangements. One said merchant, even giving them an eyeful of some very expensive and exotic weapons. Though his delivery made them sound like his lovers, rather than his merchandise.   James also made a minor discovery of a new material invented by the gnomish local, Gimble Straandavar. A light composite material of unknown make that shares the lightness and flexibility of green wood, but with a surprising strength he called Ashbone. A material delightfully suitable for making arrows.   Here in Harvest, large families blossom and the locals revel in their home grown sport - Rat Ball. A game that at the stadium currently is paying 100:1 against the away team in what seems like a hopeless matchup. But some last minute fresh participants, might be able to change those fortunes.
