((This is the second part of the travel we did to Sûri-kylä to try to trade hides for some ale or anything similar to ale from Dhordur's perspective. But did forget the screens this time.))
Dhordur woke up, rather late this morning. Nef was already awake and told Dhordur that Thorlean was somewhere in the city. Dhordur took something to eat and some mead to drink that he got from Nef. After that he stayed by the fire outside the hut Nef had and just talked with Nef. After some time Thorlaen came back to the hut and it was time to head back to Zigilgund again.
Dhordur told Nef that he was always welcome to Zigilgund and would always be greeted as a friend there. As they head of Thorlean told Dhordur that they managed to get some mead, not much but enough for a few days at least to raise the morale. It was Nef that had traded with them for the hides they had with them. They traveled faster this time and already by mid day they were by Pyndi-peldot. There they stopped for some food, Dhordur himself still was thinking about those flags by that wall that looked Dwarven. He wanted to find out why and when he had seen them before, but also what people that used them.
They left Pyndi-peldot and head for Zigilgund again, they did not meet any trouble on the way and finally arrived at Zigilgund. There they was greeted by the guards first and when they got up the stairs Hlifa was there, greeting them as well. All three of them talked a bit, had some food and a mead each by the fire. After that Hlifa took the food that was over and a few of the mead with her. All three of them walked to each guard in Zigilgund, handing them a mead each along with some of the food. Then they went out of Zigilgund, heading for the mine not far from there.
When they arrived and walked up the stair there the five guards by the fire greeted them with a salute. The three other guards that was stationed there was inside the mine, checking it a bit. The guards were a bit on the downside but as they got some ale they cheered a bit and drank it. Hlifa smiled at the guards and Thorlean asked if any more Dourhands had been seen lately. ''Just a few, nothing much to be afraid of.'' one of the guards said. After some time the three went back towards Zigilgund, but on the way back they were attacked by a large territorial and angry mammoth male. They fought it bravely, eventually it was killed and fell.
Thorlean was unlucky, the mammoth fell on him. But he was lucky enough to survive it. Hlifa and Dhordur carried him to the bottom of the stairs to Zigilgund, there two guards took him and carried him the last was as Hlifa ran off and got ready to help Thorlaen. Some Elf had showed up while they carried him and then just went missing. When Thorlean was set down by the fire the guards went off to their postings again and Hlifa started to help Thorlean. It looked rather badly and then that Elf turned up yet again with some kind of herb and gave it to Hlifa. Dhordur himself that hardly can stand Elves just mumbled to himself as the Elf was there.
After some time they managed to get Thorlean to sleep and the wounds had been taken care of. The Elf was gone yet again but had left a small bag by them, it said that it was to the son of Uwoin of Erebor. Dhordur took it and put it into his bag. Hlifa stayed and took care of Thorlean as Dhordur head off to talk with some of the guards.
