Well, before I can decide how much I'l pay, I need to know which types of armor you have and how much they cost.
Ask him which types of armor there are here and how much I need to pay for them.

You shamble around and find a human trader. 13 daggers are held by a wide sash, a mean revolver on his hip also looks fearsome; heavy fingerless gauntlets and rough leathery high boots. He seems to be in a good mood - since his purse is so tight that it seems it is going to explode.

 - Wildlands? Well, I tell you, they are called wild for reason. A bunch of werewolves attacked us just last night. Too bad we were awake and had guns loaded with silver. They say out there that this land is full of places and beasts of intrest - but if you value your life a bit more than dust under your feet, you'd better watch out of those.

He looks around like if someone could be spying him changes to whisper:

 - They say that necromancers and liches are still alive there and I swaer I saw undead out there.

((Armored guy is standing right in front of citadel. Literally. The opened maw of it's frontgate is behind him))

Now about the dragon. He breathes fire on the battlefield:
[d100/2 roll rounded down for casualities: 18/2 = 9] Nine elves are living torches
Brave elves are returning fire - rifles, pistols and even some machineguns are making a rain of steel:
[100 overshots (6) are needed to bring the dragon down. Each overshot hits his weak spot - maw or eye or joint of scales]
4x50d6 are rolled (can't roll 200 d6 on random.org):
20 x [1]
28 x [2]
40 x [3]
44 x [4]
32 x [5]
36 x [6]

You look out of the window. Aww, not the best view to enjoy. You are now going through the ruined countryside. Villages are ravaged there, some just burned to ashes. Fields that once made several harvests in a year are now resemble an ashen desert. That looks like you have just entered the halflings realm. You see some refugees walking along the railroad - those are whole families of workless farmers, craftsmen and other folks that used to live here. Gruesome sight.

 - I have all of them - everything that is in civil use, at least.
He throws a quick evaluating gaze at you.
 - Let me offer you that wonderful carapace.

Spoiler: Too lasy to describe in words (click to show/hide)

- That is fine piece of men's armor - light enough to wear every day, hard enough to protect you from a gunshot made point-blank.
[In gameplay terms: coverage - 50% (d2 flip for hitting the armor in long-range combat, overshot still kills instantly, but if the armor is hit, grants -2 nerf to the attack; in close-quaters grants permanent -2 nerf)]

Off for about 18 hours.

[Harry Baldman]

Well, crap. Look at the ceiling. Does that look cheerier?

[UltraValican]

Do you have a general idea of the area you saw the undead in? Know anyone with plans to go back out into that area?

[Patrick Hunt]

Continue my flanking route aiming to find an alley that gives a line of sight on the heavy without being exposed to the dragon. Leave the elves to keep killing the dragon.

If I can find a good position without exposing myself then shoot the heavy using him being distracted controlling the dragon to surprise him coming from a direction he doesn't expect.

Stay out of the dragons line of sight no matter what. If I come across any armed elves while I'm finding my position to attack from bring them along with me.

(( I'm hoping I can find an alley that gives me a diagonal angle and that since the dragon is fighting he'll be to busy with it to notice me so I can surprise attack. ))

[Caerwyn]

"Ah. I hate to tell you this, but they were nearly mad! The woman seemed more sane, but the man jumped one of us from behind, trying to brutalize him with a rock. They looked far too lean and dirty to be normal, and after a short tuffle, they were dead. It was a pity, but it had to happen, for the Glory of pure races." After that, leave this place, and follow Alexander wherever he wishes to go.

[Comrade P.]

Well, crap. Look at the ceiling. Does that look cheerier?

Definetly.

 - Sure. Saw them on the mountain pass between eladryn tribe and a band of dwarven outcasts. Due to local legends, there is an old fort somewhere there. Never saw anything like that out there. Forest-covered mountains, nothing more. Our small caravan just finished our sellings, we need maybe a few hours to begin our way back to wildlands. You sound like you wanna join. So, what are you? I mean, my caravan is already packed nicely with guards. Unless you can prove you may be useful.

Spoiler: Patrick Hunt (click to show/hide)

[Avoididng dragon's gaze - 3] He mentions you but doesn't gives a thug about you
[Flanking - 1] A huge pile of corpses blocks the sidelane. The fight still goes on here - some soldiers of men are stll fighting. It came to close-quaters. You have to get higher or go round the square to it's other side.

Spoiler: Caerwyn (click to show/hide)

[reaction roll - 6] - Thank Gods you did that. That bastard that I used to call my son took th elven maiden as his bride! ELVEN! I did not believe my eyes, and my wife whipped so long and loud that I had to accept that. Just do not tell that I am glad to her. Gods bless you all.

[Patrick Hunt]

Form a firing line across the street where nothing can hit us, aim into the melee for the humans but don't fire.

[UltraValican]

Well, I can sling some these wierd beams around with this here staff. I'd like to see your guards do that! Also, I've received a somewhat formal education so if you need some clerical work done then I could be of assistance. No that last part wasn't some sort of joke

[Harry Baldman]

Look at the ceiling, then. Listen in. Can I hear anything?

Also, when did the last big war happen? Yesterday? 'Cause that's what it looks like right now!

[Comrade P.]

Spoiler: Harry Baldman (click to show/hide)

Previous Great War ended several moths ago - so, the flames are not burning outside, of course, but the soldiers that were quatered there surely did their part in the mess you saw. The biggest part, actually. They expropriated farmer's poor resources for their needs, like soldiers used to do. That is why everyone hates war here.
And, due to the unusual activity of locals, something happened in the previous day that you spent in train. Something important.

You look at seiling, and hear to the sounds - just any sounds. Damn, it is boring on that train. Tu-duh, tu-duh, tu-duh - that will slowly drive you mad if you won;t stop listening. The girl cries in her coupe - she must be impressed by the sight.

 - This combination sounds a bit wierd, but good enough. First trip will be your trial - that means that you are paid by food, drinks and protection of our guards. Then we'll see if you want to join us for permanent work. And hey, can you show me a beam you're talking of? not a full-powered combat-beam, just a demontration? It's a rare sight - mage. Especially of your... kind. If you see what I mean. No discrimination here, though - racism is no good at all if you're leading a caravan through several tribes of outcasts.

Patrick Hunt
((Choose one - make a fireline in the streets or come along unseen. Because those two actions are not compatible.))

[UltraValican]

Sounds great to me.

Focus a beam on a tree, just strong enough to bore a hole in it with your staff.
edited to be more specific.

[Comrade P.]

Spoiler: UltraValican (click to show/hide)

[4+1] You find a nearest tree and cut it in half. This one was not scissor sharp cut, more like it was cut in two halfs by a giant axeman. But still effective. Edited due to revised action Your staff glances with deep blue for a while, and a ray of the same color makes a perfectly round hole in the nearest tree.
 - Wow! That is nice. You find us near the department point - everybody knows where it is, so no problems with finding it. Here, - he throws you two Quaters - look around, get yourself some  paper and stylo. And feel free to buy something you find useful for the rest of money.
He goes away, chatting to some people by the way.

[Caerwyn]

Plan with Alexander on what we should do. Suggest that, while gaining recruits would be nice, we should find coin to provide supplies, armor and weaponry. We can become much bigger than this.

Out of character here, but can I get a short jot on what the stats of any of my companions may be? Thanks.

[Harry Baldman]

((Wait, a few months ago? That means that it should be pretty much impossible for a second Great War to properly start now. War weariness and general destruction have probably taken their toll on most sides of the conflict.))

Think happy thoughts.
