"Yes, I did misunderstand you. As for supplies, I need 40-50 arrows, 10-14 days of rations would be good as well, and a pound of salt and pepper. We could use a couple of healing potions if your funds would go that far. We could use some soap as well and for me a clean shirt or a sewing kit to repair the clothes I have." Kyara enumerates her needs and some others that the groups could use.
"I truly regret losing my horse and that dark elf will pay for that as well, once I get my hands on him. I have much to learn about what is going on so those who are responsible for all out tribulations are made to pay," her voice grew grim as the unpleasantness was recalled."

Kyara, actually laughed at that response shaking her head. "That will not help us at all. If people are looking for you then How are we to get you a wig of white hair. By the Gods this is impossible situation. We can not go out ourselves and apparently neither can you. Great escape plan." Kyara's voice filled with disgust.
Ever practical with realistic tendencies, Kyara tries to figure out a way around their current problem, "I suggest we will have to forgo supplies and hunt while we travel. It will slow us but not put us in the danger that purchasing supplies in town might do. perhaps we van pay a farmer for such excess they might have."

Her hair is a shiny blue-black worn in a single thick braid down her back, if let loose form its confines it quickly curls riotously around her face. It has been a bane of her childhood so she mostly wears it plaited intricately as is typical of her people--often decorated with colored beads, ribbons, and feathers.

Rhiannon carries a powerful re-curve long bow, a quiver of arrows, several daggers, and an iron tipped quarterstaff. She can use spears and shields but current does not carry any of them.
History of Rhiannon of The Thunderstorm clan of Amazons
HEr early years
Rhiannon was an Amazon born and bred. Her outlook on life was founded on her upbringing in an Amazon society. The Amazons ruled the great northern plains, the vast expanse of which held the herds of horses that were the wealth of the Amazons. They were a semi-nomadic people moving with the grasses and the seasons. They ranged over their vast lands from north to south--north in the summer and south in the winter. They had permanent settlements but those lay hidden and little known to outsiders. Amazons used tents when traveling between their permanent homes.
Born to the Thunderstorm clan chieftainess, Rhiannon was her youngest child--that counted. Females ruled the clans, and held the most important positions that made all the decisions. Males had roles in the clan as well, but no control and could not inherit. Only females could have a share of the horse herds and own land.
The majority of clans moved two times a year. When they did moved usually as one clan except the largest of them. Those needed to spread out more and went in tribal groups so that the grass was not totally depleted for the next tribe moving through. Most clans had a favorite route that was well established so that contact could be kept if needed. They herded their horses, and everyone was mounted from oldest to youngest.It was sometimes said by outsiders that Amazons were born on horseback and in some cases that was almost true. She herself had been born on the move from their winter home to their summer home. Once born, babes were carried in specially made packs with their mothers.
Rhiannon had known many Amazons who had moved with the clan in the advanced stages of pregnancy and when their time came they just stepped off their horses and gave birth. Amazons jealously guarded their lands. And to hold them Amazons woman were warriors of high repute--skilled with sword, bow, knife, shield, sling, and lasso. They used the mobility of their horses in fast lightning like strikes against their foes, especially the mounted archers who used the powerful re-curve composite horse bows.
Amazon girls were strictly raised regardless of birth status. They had duties to perform that prepared them for their life--small chores at first but of increasing importance. They learned to ride before they could walk far. By the time girls were eight seasons, they were given watch duties on the horse herds during the day. When Amazon girls turned ten they are given a foal of their own to raise. They sat with the mare until the foal was born and then stayed with that foal as close as it mother. Such responsibility helped to form the character of the Amazon girl. It was also a way for the adults to judge the child's fitness. Arms training came shortly thereafter. Stick swords, real bows and arrows, spears, slings, and shields were taught to them-- the weapons of the Amazons. As the girls learned their lessons in weaponry they learned the skills for training their own horses as well. When their foals were ready the girls were taught how to train them for war. Always the girls were evaluated and judged.
Rhiannon was typical of Amazon women, tall and well made. Her mother choose her sire well as she had for all her other children. For most of her life, Rhiannon often wished she was more like other Amazons. Most of Amazons had fair to tanned skin with blond hair of all shades, reds, auburns, and browns, ranging from light golden brown to dark kaffe brown hair and a rare few had black hair. Rhiannon had blue-black hair heavy and when left unbraided it curled in a riot around her face to her chagrin. She has large violet eyes of an unusual shade amongst her people and with very pale skin. She had been a big babe and remained that way growing up taller than most of her age--and she stood out. She grew to not like how different she was form her sisters, and cousins.
While all children had much to learns, more seemed to be expected of her both because of her physique and her birth. While she always tried hard to meet those expectations it she sometimes wished she didn’t have to. Rhiannon’s favorite time what that spent with her horses for now she had ten that were hers including her first horse--a fine young stallion, coming into his prime. He wasn’t one of the fastest but he was one with the most endurance and a great jumper. By the time she was fourteen she had 6 mares one for each year since she was 8, her share of the herd. Three had foals by their side. So she had a small heard that was her own responsibility as well as night herding duties and the warrior training. The time she hated the most was lesson on reading and writing—to her that was wasted time—time she did not have to practice fighting, time she did not have to work with her horses. But it was expected of all Amazons that they learn to read and write and study the history of their people.
At this time in her life was good for Rhiannon, though not easy, and often very hard, none-the-less she had been raised to survive the rigors of their semi-nomadic life of the Amazons. Her days were filled with training her horses, weapons practice, and taking watches on the herds, riding around the the perimeter and through the various bands under the arched bowl of the star filled night sky. With the horses all around the wind in the grass and the passage of the Moon on it appointed round, she felt closer to the divine at these times. Her tribe mostly worshiped, the Great Goddess. Rhiannon loved the festivals of the Goddess, and knew when she was sixteen, at the Summer Festival, she would take her place as an adult of her clan in a rite of passage—upon successful passage of said rite. In the meantime she must master those skills all Amazons must have to keep their clan safe and secure.

"Well, I am short on supplies. We lived off what we had in our packs while we track Jocelyn and tried to rescue her. We had to walk back again using out own supplies Then we got here we got thrown into prison. We can't go far without some basic supplies. However since we can not just waltz out to get supplies what do you suggest." Kitara remarks after checking gout her things. Donning afresh clothes wrinkling her nose at her old ones. Many days n the same set of clothes had not dome much for them. normally she might had thrown them away but she didn't have the luxury of doing that. she would have to take time to wash them,
"Is anyone searching for you? If not you can go out and by us what is needed." I would say 10 days of rations for us each, I need some soap, and more arrows. That money will do us no good if we have no where to buy our supplies from.

Kitara was well used to walking it was something she did most of the tme even when she had a horse. It helped her to keep fit and strong. She included other exercises that focused on arms and hand was well and walking in different way, side steps, slides, jogging, lifting her knees up high. exercise she had learn well in her training and found a way to incorporate while she traveled. Thus her travels serving two purposed, convenient distance and fitness. She was a bit surprise to find out how little distance they had traveled that first day or night as it were. When they finally stopped she helped to gather wood and cook. Kitara like to cook using dried herbs and seasonings to improve what mostly was tasteless fare. She left the first and last watches for the spellcaster, taking a middle watch herself. Kitara didn't so much sleep as meditate. sitting is a lotus position.
Morning came without them being bothered by the denizens of the wastelands. However during the day Kitara had been aware of a prickling along her back as if someone were watching them. Sometime later she confirmed that sensation with no quite identifiable footsteps well more like shuffling footsteps. But then the sensation began to fade and by the time they made the e"evening" camp. she felt nothing more.
WHen the group stopped but before everyone started on one task or another. Kitara informs them of what she felt and heard. "I sense being watched for most of the day, and once heard shuffling footsteps. It faded just recently but I think we should be extra alert and perhaps set up some alarm traps that will give us a heads p if something come to close." She gathers some rocks and makes piles with twigs set to topple a few if they are brushes or disturbed. Mostly place in the clear spots.
After that she helped with the set up and cooking.
then worked with her iron tips quarterstaff. meditated and took a second watch

Kyara has remained rather quiet. To many questions with not answer. What was truth and what was not. So much of all these occurrences mad no sense whatsoever.
"Heironymus, I do not like being a pawn either. Ever since the attack and our journey to that underground lair of the Sorcerer/illusionist, we haver being pulled this way and that way by forces we know nothing about. And that I like least of all. I owe nothing to anyone here. She dress in her a clean set of clothes adding her chain mail shirt and checking her bow and arrows to make sure they were in good shape. Now this "person" appears and say we must do what again someone else we do not know wants us to do. I for one am ready not to do this. I owe no one anything and am not ready to entangle myself even more into these unknown matters. ."
She walks over to Arion. "I am so sorry that Ele was lost to us. I grieve for her. Someone should be made to py for this entire travesty."

"Wise thought. We also must remember though, both sound and light carry in such a place as this. We must use the dark to our advantage. Those of us with good vision in the dark need to be spread amongst us," said Kitara. Then she went silent and used her quarterstaff to move forward reeling her way using her staff ans a blind man does. Thought with the starlight and moonlight it was no total darkness. Her eye adjusted as best they could.

"I would be wise to remove ourselves form near that dry river bed. IF there is rain in that storm we might face a sudden rush of water down it. We need to find somewhere to give us a bit of protection." Kitara shares her thoughts with the others. She knew it didn't have to be raining here to have flood waters from further upstream flood this place.
Setting action to words Kitara begins to head to higher ground. THe blackness made everything more difficult but if they took care and used all if their senses then it was possible to keep moving if slowly. Kitara used her quarterstaff as a extension of herself. She use it to find a safe path to move along reaching out with an end to feel what was there in the blackness

Kitara Tigereyes earned her name at least her eyes earned her her last name. She had named herself, Kitara when she had been found as a toddler near a deserted wagons hidden away in the bush off the trail. She became of the the many orphans of the wars, bandit raids or disease that ran rampant and indiscriminately amongst high an low born at various times of the year. Just another orphaned child of human descent. A militia patrol found her and had taken her nearest village to the small temple to the Goddess. There she was raised by the priestess there. As one of many she did not stand out much except she was bigger for her age or what they thought her age was. She topped most men in the village and was equally well built. She loved being outside more that inside doing female chores. being bigger and stronger than the children her age made her different and she spent a lot of time alone or amongst the few books in the temple that the priestess had be en at first reluctant to let the girl touch let alone read, but the girls quiet manner and persistence eventually won her the chance to learn form those books though most were religious in nature.
In her pre-teens during one raid on the village by bandits when Kitara took up a quarterstaff and took out more than her fair share of the bandits. A traveling monk had been passing through took out most the rest. He took Kitara as a student and she learned his ways. Kitata developed her abilities with glee. Kitara was eager to have someone who at least cared enough about her to train her and give her individual attention made her blossom. She did in all ways. When her training got to a stage where it was time to go out into the world again Kitara was ready to just that. A new adventure on her own.

Kyara too hated not stopping to aid a fallen companion but ahe also knoe that if she stayed to help Ele, she too may be retaken and after aiding in killing the guards things would not go well for her. She followed Hieronymus and the half-orc with a unspoken but deeply felt promise to her friends old and new that someone would pay for all of this she would have retribution from all those involved,
Leaping out the window she cushioned her landing by absorbing the shock with her legs knees and ankle and was then able to sprint off after the others with no lasing injury though she had some bit of pain from the landing. She Would not let it slow her down though. She gritted her teeth and ran on as fast as she could.

She needed fighting room at the least and this place or times was not it. Actually shaking the dirt off this place suited her best. They had been tried to nothing but hostility since they arrived. Condemned without a trial
