"Depends on the Laguz," Adara responds to Barnabas. "You'll be lucky if you never run into a Wolf Tribe warband, and the Lion King is a stuffy bastard, far as I've heard. The King of the Dead's folk mostly do whatever it takes to fill their pockets. The Birds are mostly alright, though - they've got their problems, same as human lands, but they're not likely to kill you for no reason."
While she gives her dissertation, Roland replies to the two Revotrians.
"That's the plan, yes." Roland gives Sunny a nod. "And we have reason to believe they'll listen to us. At least, my father thought so. I don't know what was going through his head, but it was his belief that we ought to go to the Lion King. If he thought it wise, I can only have faith."
Just as he finishes speaking, a shout comes from Alex.
"Crows on the horizon! Wolves not far after! Prepare for a fight!"
None of you see anything before you - nothing but a small cloud of dust on the horizon. Adara seems to take Alex's words to heart, though, as does Dorian.
A moment passes before your vision clears enough to make out people ahead....
"Haha! Stupid little beorc, wanderin' a little far out of their territory! This war's made for good pickins! Round 'em up boys! Try not to bite too deep - you wouldn't want to ruin the best cuts!"
"The Twins smile upon us today, lads! Our contract may have run dry, but we've just found a little bit of pay all the same! Descend! May your talons be sharp and may their hides be soft!"
