[ModNote: Continued from the Dunnfalls thread Falls Never Differ?.] *The path is pretty silent so far. Robin, followed by YG, are heading for it. Wolfenden is approximately half a mile away.* |

*YG catches up with Robin. He has a question ready.*
So, you know about my recent combat. Have you been in any serious fights?

*Robin stops sharply. YG almost walks into him.*
I...
*...he starts walking again, deep in thought.*
...well, I'm a fighter, and in fact, yes, I have... I'm... I'm not sure how much I should tell you...
*YG looks confused.*
...well, okay. I've been in a few. There was a struggle once which affected my life for ever, in fact.
*Robin digs around underneath his clothes in his chest area, and pulls out an oddly-shaped amulet. He shows it to YG and then lets it hang loose about his neck.*
It's all because of this...
*...the friends step onto the path to Wolfenden, and continue onwards...*

*YG doesn't know much about jewels. He remembers briefly meeting a gemstone merchant called Rentar once, the Dungeon's main supplier - but he turned out to be a fraud.*
That's... impressive. Did someone fight you for it? Or did you win it by fighting someone else?

Oh. Oh no. Erm... no.
This amulet was a gift. A man named Faloban gave it to me. This amulet was... well... I was fought for this amulet. And I... I lost.
*Robin stops abruptly in his tracks.*

*The name 'Faloban' reminds YG of a strange creature he once met on an island he visited with Captain Nemanor. [OOC: Shakespeare reference...] He stops when Robin stops, trying to ascertain his friend's mood. He recalls a cousin of his who once had a liking for necklaces [OOC: the Ogre in Series 4!], and a few other unpleasant memories.*
I have been known to use violence at... needless times. But to fight someone over jewelry? That doesn't sound like the kind of fight most people would go looking for.

This... isn't an ordinary necklace.
It brings power to those who touch it, apparently... but it can only be touched by those who are of... of a certain race... I think...
*Robin shakes his head, as if clearing cobwebs from his mind.*
...and anyway...
*Robin gulps, and then keeps on walking, motioning to YG to keep going. He knows he wants to tell his story, but...*

*YG wonders why Robin is so reluctant to tell his story. He thinks: 'Doesn't he trust me? Do I make him uncomfortable? Or am I being paranoid and selfish? Maybe, regardless of me, it's a troubling memory.' YG wants to find out more, without hurting his friend through interrogation.*
No need to relive trauma for my sake. Unless you feel it would help. I only hope that you're not courting danger by wearing that amulet.
*YG hears a wolf, howling behind them in the Forest of Dunn. He smells smoke, probably from a distant farmer's bonfire. He looks at his feet as he trudges on.*

*YG & Robin's attension is grab by a sudern flash of blue light from around a bend in the path, they stop in there tracks.* *Around the bend a figure is sprawled out cold on the path. His face is down in the dirt so can't be seen, But the distictive, Blue & green cheekerd trouses, scruff mop of brown hair, a coat thats a good size to big for him & a recorde laying not to far away from him are unmistakable.* *The Hobo Magican has returned.* [ModNote: Tom was last seen in Awaiting Orders.] |

Who or what is that?

*Tom starts to stier and as if Young Grimwold had needed further proff as to who this was, his first words are very familer.*
"Oh.............Bummble Bees."
"There worse with telaportation then I am."

That's... that's Tom Troughton. Another one from the Battle Royale. Last time I saw him, he fell to his death at the Dunnfalls, which-which. Then I heard that he disappeared from Wolfenden...
*YG seems to be panicking - a rare occurence for an ogre. Then he sees Tom come round and hears him speak. But he's become too nervous to call out. He looks to Robin.*

Well, don't look at me...
*Robin takes a sidestep behind YG, almost automatically, and peeks out from behind him.*
...what... d'you think he's doing here?
