Prologue: A Chance Encounter
~~~
Sarles, a town located on the Karlt-Itola border. Usually a town of trade and commerce, that has since changed with war in Karlt. Goods rarely flow into the town nowadays and recently both deserters from the Karlt army and bandits alike have tried to take the town on numerous occasions. Sarles' leaders have tried to appeal to the local nobles for support but they refused, saying all their troops were busy doing more important things, like guarding the shipments of their artifacts.
Because of such, Sarles has taken to hiring several groups of mercenaries. However, many of them proved to be cowards and fled at the first sign of trouble, happy with the half of their pay they recieved in advance. Godhand has proved they are no such cowards and have played a part in repelling both parties. However, with rumors of a larger force approaching even more mercenaries have fled, leaving Godhand as one of the few remaining mercenary companies.
A tall, blonde man in brown armor walked into the inn on the west side of Sarles, The Blue Vine, followed by a group of seven people. He led them to the tables in corner and placed a map on the table, a closeup of the town, and pointed at the west most area.
"Alright, we've been assigned to the west side of town today. If any of them show up, whether they be bandits or deserters, we're the first line of defense and the last thing they see. This should be routine by now, I'd hope."He moved his hand west until it hovered over the woods to the southwest.
"If they come, they're likely to come from this direction so I would like at least one of you keeping watch. Other than that, you're free to do pretty much whatever, within reason of course, so long as you stay nearby."//Gorog the Destroyer, Aneira, Ekul Miskar, Hilde Sartore, Alexios Eusebius, Lian-Ziu and Martyn are in!
