Seeking Allies

[Pillar of Creation]

Collin had taken Knoxx advice and diverted their small force to the entrance to Bandakar, his reasoning being that it was the only safe place in the Old World for the D'haran force to resupply. However Collin had only agreed to wait just a few days, the threat was too great to dawdle. After a few hours in the pass he decided to atleast get some rest while they waited.
Just after dawn Knoxx entered his makeshift tent and awoke him.
"Emperor the speaker says there is a large force moving towards Bandakar."
Collin rubbed his eyes as he sat up.
"Tell the speaker to take his.. people and wait farther up the pass, we don't want these D'harans to attack because their wizard feels Mriswith."
Knoxx nodded and extended an arm to help Collin up.
"It may also be a good idea to put that armor back on Emperor..."
Collin raised an eyebrow as Knoxx continued.
".. With the rumors that have been being spread about you they would probably attack on sight if they recognized you right off."
Collin laughed at that notion.
"They would probably try to kill me for what I did, the rumors are just icing on the cake General. However you are right, I will dawn that armour so they don't kill us on sight."

The D'haran force was finally in sight, but they had slowwed to a crawl.
"General have the men raise the white flags."
Knoxx nodded and raised his arm.
Sticks and lances with makeshift white flags were quickly raised into the air. Now all they could do is wait and hope the D'harans didn't think this was an ambush and took their offer of peace.
