[Draignean]

Draignean also takes the caravan job, knowing that another fighter was on the job made him a bit more comfortable with taking it. He feels a little strange when he realizes that the fighter tailing him was female, she has some serious eyebrows though...

[Lordinquisitor]

Well, don`t expect the turns to always come that fast. But while we are all online..

Tacrius
Action: Take the enchanted shield and look for more crates to loot
Roll: 2+1

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You take the shield out of the Crate, it`s a niece piece of work, all shiny and stuff. You close the Crate and turn around- And notice a guard coming directly towards you. While you are certain you closed the crate fast enough you aren`t able to hide the shield. You prepare yourself to cast some nasty spells at him but to your surprise he asks friendly whether you are one of the workers or lost. You quickly make up a story about how you came with one of the smaller ships and got lost. The Guard then shows you the way out of the harbor.

All the while you are holding that glowing shield firmly in your hands and you don`t even dare to look at it. How could the guard be so stupid?

Then you find the answer. The shield, while you can still feel that it`s there, is invisible. There must be some kind of enchantment on it that can make it invisible when wished. Just to try it you command it to reappear once you are alone again- And there it is again.

Stealing more stuff should be pretty hard now, though.

You finally find an alchemist- He`s living in a big house at the eastern edge of the town. He seems to offer all kinds of potions and herbs. He has even some exotic stuff in store that you have never seen before. Despite the fact that you are a well educated orc.. Oh, dear. An orc.

The grisled warrior was glad of a contract this quickly, he'd heard thing were difficult here, though a difficult market for merchants is usually a bounty for mercenaries. There was time yet until the morning...

Find a temple devoted to one of the deities of Forgiveness and mercy, pray for a while and see if there is any aid that can be rendered them quickly. At nearly all costs be ready to leave at first light.

[KineseN]

Here is the deal, I'm out of gold pieces but are in need of either mentor or ingredients. You have the unfortunate luck of meeting me. I'll give you a few options. Take me in as an apprentice or give me some work so I can pay for your knowledge and wares. Alert the guards and you might not live to see a new day.

Start the conversation in a mild but straight forward manner. Keep the straight forwardness but get more aggressive as I progress in the conversation. End it with a really menacing tone while fingering with the dagger to underline the meaning.

In other words, threaten the alchemist to give me work or take me in as an apprentice.

[SeriousConcentrate]

I'll go and find some immediate work I can quickly take care of so I can get a room for the night.

The Sun is going down, the perfect time for thieves. You end up in the market district, the streets are getting less populated. Many Guards and Mercenaries are roaming the streets, though. Some of the houses seem well protected, but you are sure that you could try to break into one.. If you`d had any lockpicks. You could always try to break into some window- But that would certainly draw attention.

You find quite a large temple devoted to Pacator, the God of Peace and Healing. Pacator is one of the most popular gods. (The other commonly worshipped gods are Ensis, the God of War and Combat, Magus, the God of Magic, Nex, the God of Death and Murder and Chaos the God of Chaos and Change.)

After Praying for a while you approach a young priest and ask him whether you can help. He tells you that laying down that axe of yours and spending your days in peace would help the most- But in the meanwhile you can help to tend the wounded.

While fetching water and healing potions you learn that the attacks on the city have become ever more frequent and dangerous in the last few months. The Priest believes that this is because some Adventurers always want to stir up trouble in the wilderness.. And you feel like he`s trying to lecture you.

In the end he thanks you for your service, though. He allows you to sleep in the temple for the night and even gives you a small pendant made out iron, which looks like a broken sword. You are quite sure it`s not enchanted or something but you still accept it.

At first Light you are ready to leave the town.

The Alchemist patiently listens to your threat and then laughs. At the top of his lungs.
"You are threatening me? Ah-Ah- That`s too funny, lad. I don`t even need to call the guards to dispatch someone such as you." He stands up, still amused and picks up several bottles.

"Dragons Fire." He says. "Rare, Rare. A mixture of some chemicals, enchanted by the best pyromancers in the imperial capital. I just need to throw it at you and you`ll be warm for the rest of your life, if you understand."

"Moonshadow. Want to hit me with your dagger? A drop of that stuff here and you`ll be blind for quite some time. You wouldn`t be able to find your dagger, despite the fact that you are firmly grasping it."

"Skelayd'u. Can`t even pronounce this stuff. Translates to "A Week full of pain and vomit and then a gruesome death. Or at least it should, because that`s it`s effect on the human body."

The Alchemist puts them back on the table, gingerly. "And besides." He says while gesturing at his belt, ladden with flasks, "I always keep this beauty ready, sharp, and poisoned."
And he stands right in front of you, a ornated dagger in his hand. "Wanna take chances? I bet my poison hurts more. And i bet i`ve got an antidote to yours right up my sleeve. If you have any poison on that dagger, that`s it."

"I can bet from your attire that you are one of those amateur assassins i have seen lately. Come to his continent without proper preparation and threaten someone that has so much more experience and skill."

"You want a job? Well, my apprentice died recently. Apparently he mixed a poison when he should mix a healing potion. Too bad i let my apprentices taste all my potions before i put them on sale. Idiot used some exotic herb, normal anditodes wouldn`t help. And i wasn`t in the mood to waste some of my more expensive stuff, Heh."

"If you want a job, well here you go. Do you see those herbs here? Redleave. Pretty common.
Blackroot. Not so common. And Shadowleave. Very Rare. Except here- They grow pretty well in dark places that have been contaminated by magic. So you`ll find them quite often around here.
Take them, and search for more in the wilderness. Find them, bring them back and i`ll pay ye.
Maybe some money, maybe some potions, maybe some training. Whatever you desire. Better be careful outside there, though."

You find no work, and no room to spend the night. You sleep on some hay and in the morning you look not as clean as you did before. Like anyone would care. In the morning you are ready to leave with the caravan.

The Caravan leaves. The Landscape outside is quite unique- Some of the trees are burned, others look healthy and fresh and some of them are totally unknown to you. The other members of the Caravan are anxious the whole time; And you soon see why.

All the way to your resting place for the night you are being watched by Goblins trailing along. There are just a few of them, always at the edge of your vision, but they are ever present. One Veteran assures you that this is common and to quote him "The Least of the problems around here."

You make camp on top of a hill overlooking the street below. The Members of the Caravan, consisting of like 30 men and some heavy ladden horses form a sporadic palisade made from the crates they are carrying. "Better they get damaged upon an attack than we." To quote the Veteran again.

Night Falls again and you can still hear the Goblins shuffling around.

Break into an armour store and steal some gear

[Draignean]

Draignean nods as the other veteran speaks. "The crates, using those as fortifications. Is that something that the soldiers came up with and the merchant doesn't know of, or does the merchant approve. If the merchant actually approves of us valuing our lives more than his merchandise I may have to stay on for the next leg of the journey. If not, then I suppose he's no different from many I've worked for..." Draignean trails off shaking his head.

Keep watch, grab a bite to eat and catch some rest when someone comes to relieve my post.

You can`t see much in the forest. It`s dark and clouded. You can hear little feet shuffling around, though. Suddenly right next to you a fire is lit and you notice three goblins with bows in their hand..

But they haven`t seen you. They are looking at the camp. In the distance you can see that more and more fires are lit- Why? You ask yourself. Then you find the answer. They Goblins set their arrows on fire and aim at the camp on the hill.

The other Veteran laughs. "Well lad, you see we came up with it. When the merchants were told about it they were quite angry and talked about reducing our payment- Until they found out that we had an higher success rate than other caravans. I assume they were bright enough to understand that losing a few crates hurts less than  losing  a whole caravan."

You sit on a crate eating some dried meat when you spot the fires in the wood. Are those signal fires? Or do they simply make camp and don`t care about us? Or are they... Yes, fire arrows.

Within a split second you have jumped down and the arrows whistle harmlessly over your head. Some crates catch fire, though, and you can hear one or two painful screams.

Being the Veteran you are you immediately alert the rest of the caravan. "Attack! Fire! Put the damn fires out! Archers strike back!"
