*Crossover with the Bolo series by Keith Laumer, not in crossovers for reasons. The updates will be short and infrequent probably.*
Climb walked into the tavern and looked around, he could feel the danger in the room from these high level adventurers, all of them now focused on the newcomer. As he scanned the room his eyes soon fell on the individuals he was sent to find, the remaining party members of the nearly all female adventurer group 'Blue Rose'. He walked over to the three individuals at the table, getting their attention.
"Oi, cherry boy. You here to finally take up my offer? I have a room if you are ready." the one with such a vulgar comment being the hulking female warrior at the table. He then felt the gazes of the present adventurers shift to ones of pity and humor.
"No Gagaran, I bring a message from Lady Laykus."
"Ah, what could it be that our venerable leader wants you to tell us?" She replied with slight sarcasm.
"I believe it would be to inform us of a new job Gagaran, there would be no other reason to contact us through him." The easily most imposing figure Climb had ever witnessed said. Even when sitting its hulking frame made the tank like warrior next to it seem small with its seven-foot tall height, heavy armor that exposed not even the slightest hint of skin or weakness, and a deep, menacing voice that seemed to be manufactured with the purpose of creating fear in those who heard it.
"That was sarcasm, how have you never learned sarcasm?" came the frustrated reply of the warrior.
"Do you really expect INZ to actually care about something like that?" the cloaked, masked figure on the other side of the table said.
"I don't know how you two have stuck together for so long."
"She is my Commander. There is no other purpose for me other than to assist her in every way." INZ said.
"I don't get it, you two are just so different from normal people."
"I think we are getting off topic. What is the message you have from our leader?" Evil Eye, the cloaked figure, said to the previously silent Climb.
"Ah, yes. The message is 'we have a new job, be prepared to fight.'"
"Ho? Who are we supposed to be fighting?" Gagaran inquired.
"Yes, from what I over-heard it seems that it will be the eight fingers again."
"INZ, begin recon and initialize targeting programs. That will hopefully speed things up." Evil Eye said to the armored behemoth next to her.
"Acknowledged."
"Cherry boy, why don't you two go? Maybe he can teach you something new. We will get ready and meet up with the leader later."
"Okay."
"INZ. It would be good to perform some surveillance before the operation. Go with him and scout out the possible targets, and see if you have any pointers for him." Evil Eye said.
"Understood. Come, we should go now Climb."
"Ah, yes sir!" a nervous Climb stated, trying to catch up to the unnaturally quick departing figure of INZ, unsure of what 'training' awaited him.
