((I'm quite aware what a Jotnar is

My closest comrade in arms is among their kin.
...And Zane? A seasoned warrior? Hehe... *Falls over laughing*))
--Courtyard, Ithilienese keep--
"Aye. Rainen's brother, Zane, is a Lieutenant and Combat Engineer in the RoI. Heh, he's younger than any lad to ever take such a rank. But that is another story... These two here seem to be... Chaos. Best be on your guard, gents. Cept' you, Master Dragonwalker. Maybe you know these bastages..." The Sergeant made a point by keeping a heavily gloved hand on the pommel of his broadsword.
A short, bearded man was sitting outside the main gate to the keep, balancing a great axe on his shoulder.
"Master Rainen shall be out in a moment. Wait here." He said gruffly, staring up at the two mountains of men. He scratched idly at his beard as the second group was led up.

--The forest--
Another rustle from the bushes, and out emerged three men with draw bows. To their right flanked walked a tall, young woman. He hood was left to rest on her shoulders, compared to her companion's pulled hoods. Her hair was as brown as tree bark and her eyes a green to match the leaves. She snorted once and drew her broadsword, holding it against her greaves in her right hand.
"Identify yourselves and your business in Ithilien, or die where you sit. Speak quickly. I have no time for games."
To Dralcos, he could identify the young woman's dogtags swaying on her brigandine in the breeze. The mark indicated her a Watch Sergeant.
