Arcane Might Part 1: The Search for Home (Still running)

Lugash

Lugash waits patiently in the wagon, watching for more aggressors.

Those bandits were almost too easy to defeat.

The bandit stares at Kavernus, his mouth hanging wide open. He is apparently trying to figure out if you're toying with him or not, and seems completely surprised by the "offer". Finally, he says: "Uhh, sure. I'm called Gourry. Gourry Gravelin. It's uhh... nice to meet you... I think."

Gourry nods, rather awkwardly. "Nice weather, isn't it?"

Well then Gourry. I'll untie you as long as we have an agreement. I'm a fair employer and will offer you a share of whatever I happen to make as a member of this band as well as taking care of equiping and feeding you. I only live in the lap of luxury so I can promise you a fine living as long as I'm well so will you be. Kavernus releases the human and gives him back his weapons and a pouch of 10 GP. He holds his hand out for his new employee to shake to seal the deal.
 

Gourry agrees, and after you've released him he shakes your hand. He shows no intention of escaping (he probably thinks that running from guys who just Fireballed his buddies rather efficiently isn't very safe, not to mention that some of you carry bows).

"Well that's a tad lot better offer than my last employer made. So, where're we going?"

Gourry then proceeds to re-equip himself (does that equipment include a horse?).

OOC: Gourry is Rogue 1/Fighter 2. He has above-average physical abilities. More info coming when you get to know him. ;) Consider him being on test period for now.

Onwards then I quess?
 


Myrkskog adjusts the saddle and other gear on his new steed to his size, awaiting the sign from the others that they are ready to proceed.
Samoth flits down and settles upon the shoulder of his master,hooting loudly.
 

Gourry climbs atop of one of the horses and turns to Kavernus. "Well, you just killed half of their other Elite Archer Cavalry Quick-Strike Team. Or something." Gourry scrathes his head and continues. "We... They've got a base at southwest of here, in the mountains somewhat near the trade way. It's dug into the mountain itself, and quite much resembles an underground fortress. Traps, easily defensible positions and stuff, you know. I'm not sure about the numbers, but there are dozens of members. Maybe hundred or so.

Oh yeah", Gourry says while pointing at the upper half of the bandit leader's corpse. "And this guy was the student of the big boss. Or something. I never met the boss myself, as I was a new recruit (Gourry tries to look innocent), but I hear he's some kind of a big badass knight-type. Just that he isn't that knightly. Or something."

Lugash the Fair

Lugash shakes his head and puts his feet up.

"Making deals with bandits..." he mutters under his breath.
 


Gourry continues babbling something about the bandits, mainly concentrating on complaining about their cookings instead of saying anything of importance. You continue your trip along the path, leaving the bodies behind. The wagons roll forward and you travel until nightfall, reaching the edge of the Krypt Garden Forest. The path seems to continue next to the cliff range, and the forest starts from the other side of the path. You make a camp somewhere nearby, and get some rest (while probably keeping an eye on Gourry, who seems to snore rather loydly).

You estimate that you're about halfway on your trip.

When the sun arises you eat hasty breakfast, and continue forward. After and hour or so, Kavernus hears something from ahead. It sounds like somebody (or multiple somebodies) is chopping a tree with an axe.



OOC: Yes, I screwed up again. First an exam week, then Christmas, blah, blah... Sorry. Just trying to speed up the trip by hopping over the camping process.

But nice auto-playing, eh? :o
