"Would ya tell me about the work I'd be able to find in those places?"

You leaped forward and ran to where you last saw the sheep get dragged into a sparsely wooded patch of trees. You could still hear it, it was close and bleating ever more frantically. You charge at what ever grabbed it, trying to scare off the animal that decided to make a meal of the sheep. You stopped dead in you tracks. Staring back at you were not the eyes of any predator you have ever seen before. Leaning over the, now barely moving, sheep it glanced up at you. It was a creature of legend to you. One from the stories that were often told by older folk, or minstrels. It was halfway between man and animal. The ram's head left the sheeps body, dripping with blood, and hissed at you. In it's hand it held a large, wicked looking, two bladed battle-axe. Without a moment's hesitation is leaped up and charged at you. Combat rating = -2   (4)Frantically you grabbed the first thing within reach; the hatchet held at your waist by a cord and rolled to the side. The axe bit deep into your back, enough to rend muscle and draw blood.(-1hp) Pain shot through you. You managed to fling your arm out, hitting the creature's exposed chest. The hatchet was used to split hardwood, it was sharp. Muscle and bone gave way. Blood covered your face. (5)The creature, blind with rage and bloodlust, kicked you in chest. The blow sent you to the ground. In a last desperate attempt you threw your hatchet. It flew true. Surprise flashed across it's face as it staggered back. Then it fell to it's knees and sprawled on the ground before you. The initial adrenaline began fading. You are more than aware of your wound.

"Heh, the South is different, they ain't got themselves beastmen to worry about, nor any other vile thing from the North. We make sure o'that. You'd find a peaceful job there. Then again, I've never been further than Summerfield, so how can I know?"

[Taricus]

Drag the beast back to town, as well as finishing the job. Get medcal attention afterwards

Drag a heavy body and herd sheep to the farm, all while suffering from grievous injuries (6)-1 (I don't even what is this)
You grab the creature by it's hands and begin dragging it, luckily the sheep, scared beyond anything, all ran home. That is one less thing you would need to take care of. You haul the heavy body for what feels like an eternity, the back of your legs are soaked with blood. As you approach the farm, the farmer comes running, pitchfork in hand, followed by one of his sons, holding a torch. "What in the name of-!" He bit off a curse, seeing what you were dragging. The farmer spat on the ground. "Drop it!" he commanded. (3)-1 You can barely see him. Everything is so hazy. You are aware of him talking, yet the meaning of his words is unknown to you. You take a few more steps before everything goes dark. Very dark.

You will have to wait until next turn (day).
Also, you gained 2 EXP.

[Taricus]

Anything I can do with the XP now?

[Stas]

Nope, you need 6 to add 1 to any attribute.
I can only initiate next day when everyone uses up their's.

[Taricus]

Okay then.

[Azure Sepulchre]

Wow, this started fast.

Anyways, considering my characters background, it would make most sense to start off at 12.

The first thing I will do is purchase any and all necessary provisions for a journey into the wild. The same things as Ochita, basically (Backpack, Waterskin, 30ft of Rope, a Sleeping Roll, a Knife and Basic Rations). However, in addition I wish to buy 10 rations instead of 5 along with a tinder box, a one-handed longsword with scabbard, a wooden buckler, and the cheapest horse I can find (1 gold piece or less. If none can be found, I won't get one. Low priority purchase; I'd prefer to buy everything else before I go horse-hunting) along with 5 days of horse feed. Stopping only to fill the waterskin in any nearby well or fresh stream, I shall then make haste for the countryside and adventure, ready to slay the first thing that gets in my way!

So, to sum up my purchases and doings, in order of priority:

 - Purchase Basic Provisions (Backpack, Waterskin, 30ft of Rope, Sleeping Roll, Knife, 10 Basic Rations, Tinder Box).
 - Purchase One-Handed Shortsword.
 - Purchase Wooden Buckler.
 - Purchase Horse (1 gold at most - attempt to haggle if necessary. If one cannot be acquired, I will not purchase the horse feed).
 - Fill Waterskin (using the nearest readily available clean water supply).
 - Sally Forth in a Random Direction!

'Not to worry, I have it.' Kin pulls out the purse and dangle it infront of Janik. The sound of coins can be heard and he knows that want it. 'I'll pay for the clothes and shoes. Also, make sure that this stay between you and me.'

You spend the morning shopping around for equipment that will serve you in your grand escapade. (5)+1Everything went smoothly, you managed to avoid your creditors. You  had to part with most of your fortune to get a sword. "Two golden coins, no less!" the Blacksmith declared. The sword itself was pretty bland, so was the scabbard provided, but it was a sword no less. Sadly, this left you without a shield or a horse. You make a quick stop at a well and fill your waterskin. (5)+1 You leave Mileas undisturbed. The whole world stands before you. You are free to explore it as you wish. It is now noon.

Janik eyes the purse hungrily. "Lad, you can go ahead and choose what ever pleases you." The man then stands up and kicks at a pile of cloth, revealing a chest, which once opened, is full of fine clothing. Janik eyes you impatiently.

Ochi and Ric

Ochi:(Please specify where/what kind of work)
The shopkeeper eyes both of you "Well lads, I bid ye good luck in yer endeavors. When you become rich and powerful, don't be forgetting of you origins, of the simple folk, eh?" He gave a rough chuckle.
It is now Late-Morning.

(Work that may be accounting of any kind, but failing that, simple labor will do.)

[KineseN]

Eyeing the clothes one by one Kin found none that really suited him, even though they were comfty he admitted. When he got to the bottom of the chest he finally found a set of clothes that he liked. Pulling them out he saw that they were made of a fine thread which he couldn't recognize but that didn't matter. He showed Janik the Dark Blue Threaded Shirt and the equally Dark Blue Threaded Pants. 'I'll take these, and if you have a pair of boots or atleast shoes than mine I'll take them too.'
