You look at the man warily, not knowing whether you entirely trust him. However, as another dart lands inside a nearby tree trunk with a resounding THUD, you realize that you have no choice. You scurry off into the forest, behind a waterfall, and through a secret cave behind some rocks. The "cave" turns out merely to be a passageway, leading to an encampment in the distance. It is a small fort like structure, with a makeshift wall and spikes surrounding it. You enter, finding a surprisingly good sized village inside, with men and women seemingly going about their daily activities.
Brian takes you into a building that looks like it might be a tavern or longhouse. He motions for you to take a seat at the crude, oaken hewn table, then summons a girl over with the snap of his fingers. She is pretty and compliant, saying nothing, eyes lowered. "Two homebrews," he says to her. "And make it quick." The girl nods and scurries away, returning in a few moments with two pint sized glasses filled with a think, brown lager of some sort. The taste is delightful and welcome. Brian grins, putting a hand on your shoulder.
"See? In here it's the men who run things. It's not like the rest of that crazy world out there with all those nutty amazons running around." He downs his beverage, then motions to the girl for a refill. He places a hand on her shoulder when she comes back, rubbing it gently, playing with her hair. "Julianna, stay." he says. She does not move. Brian looks back at you.
"I didn't catch your name, friend." he says.
"Dennis," you say. "My name is Dennis." He nods.
"Well Dennis, this is Julianna. She is one of our tavern girl. She is a sight for the sore eyes and she can make you feel like a man again." You look down at her and she smiles back up at you. She is about 5'4" tall, straight strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes, is blessed with a shapely body and above average sized breasts. You can see her nipples stiffening against her garment. Brian excuses himself. "I'll let the two of you get to know each other a little better. He winks and slaps you on the shoulder, then goes back outside the tavern.
Julianna looks at you and smiles, placing a pretty, manicured hand on yours and squeezing just a bit, licking her lips. "Is there anything else I can do for you, Sir?" She sways just slightly as she says that, looking you up and down.
