Working for the Baron - The Adventure

Alton the theif
You have a contact for the Gold? Hargrim. Well, guard would you know of anything of this contact or would we have to go to the great hall or governers house to see if this contact is in the town? looking up towards the guard as he moved his eyes towards the guards eyes, waiting for an answer.

Song save me. Green-root gives him the vapors something awful. I'll get no sleep tonight from gasping for air.
"Please friends. We are talking a very large amount of money. Would YOU leave that amount with your household guards? No you would not. Let us be on our way and hope we can intercept Balin before he finds some Green-root."
Zyr turns on his heal and starts walking with Balin. "Come along lads. We have much to do before we are paid."

I guess so, what would you suggest we do now, I'm not sure were this place is that we must go to.

Balin the Elder, Abjur (4)

We head east for three days and look for the orc fires and listen for the screams of innocent people getting killed.

Stopping and turning around slowly, Balin waited until Zyrial and Alton were a few paces closer before speaking.

"Goodland is to the east of here, and if my memory hasn't failed me completely, it is a small town much like this one is. The Sheriff is more than likely this great guy, who hasn't drew his sword since he was courting his plump apple pie baking wife, and while I am sure he would help us if it wasn't for that pesky knee injury he got from racing wild stallions when he was more wet behind the ears than you are. This means that while you may not believe it now, we are more the best chance that Goodland is going to have. So if you want to be alive to spend that double bag of coin from Comere, I would suggest you start thinking of ways that you can stop a group of orcs that will gut wound you just to watch you bleed out nice and slow."

Resisting the urge to let his shoulders slump back to their more comfortable position, Balin looked over Zyrial before turning back around and resuming his walk down the hill.

While he had said nothing out loud, he was sure that Zyrial understood his mounting frustration. Destroying some mindless skeletons before taking out the ghouls that had given into the blood urge of their undead state would be greatly different than going after orcs that were capable of plans and tactics.

Let them be strong and dumb like we used to like them Shal, and let their Sheriff be a mountain of man who only needs us to keep the edges held while he takes them all on with his companions...

Day 1 - In Mirlstone

You make your way down the Eastgate Way, heading for the maingate out of the city. More or less agreeing to accept the peculiar ways of the Baron, you set out for the town of Goodland. You exit the Silver Hill where all the nobility in the city, including the Baron, lives, and enter the Eastgate district. As you near the Eastgate you think that this might be the last opportuinty to buy any provisions that you might need for a while.

Though obviously still worried and frustrated, Hargrim sighs in resignation as he walks with his companions. "Well," he says, "if this Goodland is three days away, we'd best stop by the stables and find mounts. The villagers are in real danger; we've got to get there quickly to make sure no more lives are lost to this fanatical orc tribe.

"Even if we end up not getting paid," he mutters quietly.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

"The Great song has it's ebbs and flows. The money will be there waiting for us." Zyrial says to Hargrim.

He will purchase a light riding horse when he has he option.

"The Great song has it's ebbs and flows. The money will be there waiting for us." Zyrial says to Hargrim.

Hargrim takes a deep breath, and smiles broadly. "Yes, yes...I suppose you're right." He grips the handles of the handaxes that hang at his hips and says, "Shall we teach those orcs a thing or two, then, fellows?"

"I would like to get a pony so that way my feet won't hurt from when we go into battle" "That won't be a good thing now would it?""which way was the stables now?"

Day 1 - In Mirlstone

There is a stable just inside the East Gate, where you are able to purchase horses, ponies and even riding dogs if you might need that. You do your business and head out of the gate, setting out for Goodland.
