In ad midst all this chaos and mayhem, Faelan stands tall on the shifting tortoise shell and tries to steer his mount along the noisy street. To his left and right the animals veer off, but an especially large animal holds right in front of him. Placing his weight a little different the half drow manages to bring his mount to turn just enough left not to crash into the stopping giant.
Breathing out, as the situation behind him dissolves in even more chaos he aims for the corridor to the rice fields and nearly falls off, as his turtle crushes a cart and drag along the remains for a short distance. Finding his equilibrium again, he re firms his grip on the reins and spurs his tortoise on.
Coming up to the sight of the rice paddy, he yells euphorically: "Come on stubby! We do this together!" already hefting his gaze on the finish line.
What then ensues, resembles more a rodeo than a race. Suddenly "Stubby" stops and begins shaking and buckles strongly. Doing his best to stay on top, Faelan shows some promise as he is able to hold on for a short while, before going down for the first time. But deftly rolling to the side, the fighter doesn't get bit by the offended tortoise.
A second try back at the top ends after a few heartbeats on the hard ground again. Standing up and patting dust from his cloak, the Roshanian spits out some dirt and tests his skill and endurance a third time.
Running the shell up, he grips the reins with determination. The fighter FINALLY succeeds in bringing the animal under his controll again and leading it to the waterflooded fields. "You stubborn bastard, I will take good care before calling you names again." the noble whispers proudly to his mount, before patting it on the side.
Jumping off from this elevated position, Faelan raises a hand in triumph and strolls over to Ardeth's cloak, now worn by an Orc. Greeting the "stranger" with an victourios smile and an "Excellent job, Ardeth." remark. Then the half-drow turns and lets his gaze wander to look out for the rest of their team.
