It's nearly been a week since the bugbear attack. So far everything has
been peaceful and quiet. The Valiant Crusaders were a day's walk from
Tiberius. Everyone was pretty much healed completely from the fight. If
they had to they were ready to fight again.
After nearly getting lost a few times Fnep suggested to Goliath to ask Kerwin for directions, since he had traveled a lot before joining up with the group.
Finally there was half a day's walk left, they would be there guaranteed before sundown. The woods slowly came to open plains and hills. "I've walked more in the past 2 weeks then I have in the past 2 months!" complained Fnep. "Maybe if you would stop complaining we'd have been there by now" Rilrae replied coldly and clearly annoyed.
"When we going to fight?" asked Nairob. Kerwin's ear twitched as he hard a twig snap then a few whispered works. Suddenly the team heard some loud coos and caws coming from all directions. "I think your wish came true, Nairob." With a few muttered syllables, some shining strands of magic sank into Fnep's skin, gibing him a golden tinge.
Suddenly 30 halflings surrounded the group and began to pick pocket them. Kerwin being a rogue himself easily managed to get out of the crowd without having any items stolen.
Kerwin stood about 10 feet away staring and laughing as his former friends stole his groups' items. He could hear Goliath curse at the rogues while Nairob threw them away only to have them come back within a few seconds. Rilrae was trying to keep them at bay with her tail, while holding her gear high above her.
"Give me back my sp-pouch!" an angry Fnep screamed at one of the rogues. Within a few more moments all of the surviving halflings were running away with their loot. Fortunatly for the group they only stole a few silver and gold pieces. Two halflings who were thrown away ended up dying on the impact. Goliath had also slain a few.
Laucian shot an arrow at the halflings arm to get Fneps pouches back. "I no call that a fight Fnep runts just come take things and run" Fnep simply shrugged. "Ahp!" Rilrae shrieked. "They took my bracelet!" She dropped her bad then began to run after the band of rogues.
After about 5 minutes the Valiant Crusaders saw Rilrae slowly walking back with an angry yet exhausted expression. "Awww. Couldn't catch up to them to get your bracelet back? I bet if you still had your horse you could, too bad it was slain a while back." Fnep slowly shut himself up when he noticed that Rilrae had her sword out and was just about ready to attack out of frustration. "It's not like it'll kill you not to have it. It was only copper and plain."
After the attack nothing eventful happened. They eventually saw the city of Tiberius in the horizon it looked magnificent. The sun was setting on the horizon; all the houses had candles lit inside. Some children were still playing on the streets; they could hear the mothers calling them inside for dinner. Laucian smiled inwardly at the town, it seems just like every other one they've been to, so tranquil. As they kept walking they noticed that what they saw was simply the outer part of the town. There was an inner part, which was protected by a wall. There was 1 opening and there stood 2 guards. Both guards appeared to be human; one of them was 6 feet while the other was 5'11. They both stood there with serious expressions, the taller one would ask questions to anyone who wanted to go inside of the wall.
As the group approached they kept glancing at them. Everyone stopped a few feet in front of the guards and Goliath stepped forward. "Hi. We are the Valiant Crusaders. We're looking for a place to sleep for the night and to repair our armor. May we come in?" The guards looked at the warriors one by one. "You may all go in; however, we'd like a word alone with the beautiful lady for a moment." Goliath looked over towards Rilrae then back to the guards and agreed. The men marched in, leaving their female friend with the guards.
They both smiled at her inappropriately, while she took a step back in disgust. "What do you want so I can get back to my business?" The guards started snickering. The taller man spoke. "Well girl, it's obvious why you're with those guys. And we'd like you to do some of those favors with us. Forget about those losers. We're much better." He winked at her. Rilrae stared at them in shock then got an evil idea. "Well alright boys. One of you brave men stay here, and I'll have fun with the other. Then you can switch okay?" They both looked really eager to go. Since she was still wearing the peasant dress she decided to use it to her advantage. She walked up to the taller one and made some designs on his chest with her finger. "Since you asked me, you may have your turn with me first. There's a place not too far from here that we could go to."
When she saw the guys eyes light up she started to laugh the slapped them both on their faces so hard that it left a red mark. "I can't believe you guys. Has it occurred to you that I am one of the Valiant Crusaders?" they both stood there stunned. Rilrae walked away then met up with her friends who were waiting patiently for her.
"So, what did the guards want?" Goliath asked casually when he saw Rilrae's peeved expression. She growled and ignored his question. Noticing the tension in the air Kerwin spoke up. "Maybe we should split up. We'll get things done faster than we can all meet at the Travelers Inn." "I'll go with Goliath to get his axe fixed. Kerwin you can go with Nairob to get some more supplies. Rilrae and Laucian go get us some rooms at the Traveler's Inn." Fnep suggested. "Oh mighty and powerful Fnep, how many should we be in a room because we certainly can't be all together." Rilrae exaggerated the words "mighty and powerful Fnep". Fnep not noticing the tone in her voice replied. "2 should be okay, 3 in each. That way we'll save money. I'm not that mighty and powerful. I wish I were though, people would take me more seriously" Rilrae rolled her eyes and grabbed Laucian's arm. "Let's go find the Inn" The others split up shortly after.
Nairob and Kerwin were happily walking to the local shop. "Say, Nairob, wouldn't it be funny if we got Goliath pink flowered oven mitts?" Nairob looked at Kerwin a little confused then starts to laugh as he pictures the dwarf wearing over mitts cooking. Nairob agrees and they quickly head over to the nearest shop. Once they arrived at the shop the shop keeper looked at them strangely. It wasn't an everyday thing to see a half orc with a halfling. "Okay Nairob, let me do all the talking. You just look tuff." "I like being tuff looking." Nairob responded dumbly. "Excuse me, would you happen to have some over mitts? We're looking for some for our friend. He's a dwarf who likes to cook you see..." "Over there in that corner" The shop keeper answered before Kerwin could finish his sentence. The looked over at the shelf and hurried over to it. Kerwin quickly grabbed a pair and went to pay for it with some other useful stuff such as rations.
"I can't believe Fnep was giving out orders." Rilrae complained yet again. "I can't believe we actually listened to him." They both laughed. "Say, Laucian, do you even know where the Traveler's Inn is? I've honestly never been to this town before so I wouldn't know. Maybe we should go to somebody's house and ask?" They both looked at each other knowing that they wouldn't ask any time soon and kept walking around looking for the Inn. After a few more minutes of walking around not knowing where to go they decided to ask for directions. They were now walking down a dark ally way, which is said to be a short cut to the Inn. The duo had been so busy laughing at each others joke that they hadn't noticed two people sneak up behind them. Rilrae felt something cold touch her neck. It felt like a blade. She cursed loudly. Laucian felt the same feeling. They both stopped laughing and looked around. They were surrounded. "Well, maybe we should have gone the longer way." "And maybe you shouldn't have taken off your armor Rilrae!" Laucian snapped at her.
"I will also need this sword fixed. It's been cracked in battle." The metal smith took the sword and examined it. He nodded in understanding. "This is boring, you know that Goliath?" "You didn't have to come with me Fnep, you know that? You should have stayed with Rilrae to annoy her, instead of me." A bit of time has passed and neither one of them said a word. The metal smith came back with Goliath's axe and Rilrae's sword in each hand. Goliath paid the metal smith and hurriedly left the shop with Fnep. "I hope she didn't need her sword." "Why would she need her sword Fnep? We are in the middle of the city." "I guess you have a point" Both companions left the shop and went in search of the Traveler's Inn.
Meanwhile Laucian and Rilrae managed to knock out two of the 8 thieves. They were back to back eyeing their enemies. "What do you suppose we do? I can't use my fire breath otherwise it'll burn up the entire ally! How fast are you with that arrow?" "Fast enough, what's your plan?" "I thought that I could distract them by throwing a dagger, maybe two and hopefully killing one or two of them. So you'll have enough time to use your bow and arrows. While you have them distracted with that, I'll have time enough to pull out my scythe and attack." Laucian looked a little dubious about her plan. "You are aware that they have arrows, right? By the time you have your scythe out, we'll both be dead. Well, perhaps you'll be dead. I still have my armor. I was smart enough to keep it." Rilrae hadn't replied right away, "All right wise guy, do you have a better idea?" He smirked. "In fact, I do, here's the plan." He leaned over closer to her and whispered the rest.
"Excuse me; our friend had reserved 2 rooms for us. It should be under the name of Valiant Crusaders." The innkeeper stared at Goliath for a moment then checked his papers over. "I'm sorry sir, but nobody has reserved a room. What does this friend look like?" Before Goliath could reply Fnep spoke up. "Well, there are 2. One's a half-elf while the other is a full elf. The elf is a guy who goes by the name of Laucian. He's a great archer. Then there's Rilrae, she's half-elf, but she also has a cool dragon tail because he father was a golden dragon you see. She looks like a slut in the city dress but she's a really nice person once you get to know her." Goliath cut off Fnep right there. "You'll have to excuse him, he said a little too much about them. So, have you seen them?" The innkeeper shook his head in a no. The door opened and a half-orc with a halfling walked in. "Hello friends. Have you seen Rilrae or Laucian?" They both shook their heads in no. "Hmm, since our friends haven't got a room, we'd like 2 rooms. 3 beds in each please." Goliath asked the innkeeper. A few minutes later Goliath joined the group. "Well, it's not like them to run off when they were supposed to do something. Do you think something bad happened?" Kerwin inquired. "Rilrae strong lady. She can take care of herself. Laucian good elf. Good with bow. They all right." Nairob heard someone mumble I hope your right, but he couldn't figure out who said it.
Laucian moved his hand over towards Rilrae butt, only to have her slap him across the face. "You pervert!" she turned towards the thieves. "You guys may be rogues, but I'm sure we can make a deal if you help me deal with this pig." She winked seductively at them. She walked towards the one closest to her, only to have all the others quickly go by her side, with the exception of one. She was now surrounded. Their plan was working. Ignoring the others she continued. "I can make it worth your while to help me out." She grabbed his crotch and rubbed it a little, when she felt it get hard she quickly let go and moved her hand away. The rogue smirked and firmly held her close to him. She could feel his hard member against her and she was uncomfortable. He mumbled something to her in a language that she could not comprehend. She was now worried, she knew she could not look back at Laucian or it would give away their plan. Rilrae was trapped, surrounded by rogues that had filthy thought in their minds.
"Who is going to sleep with whom? I honestly want to be with Rilrae, this way I can annoy her as much as I want!" Fnep suggested. "I will be with you Fnep, to stop you from driving her crazy" Fnep glared at Goliath for ruining his fun. "So, that leaves me, Nairob and Laucian in the same room. Nairob and I should go check out our room to take the best bed" With that said Kerwin took his stuff and waiting for Nairob, they both quickly went up to their room. "Should we maybe go to our room also? Leave our stuff there and come back down here to wait for them?" Goliath nodded at Fnep's question. Both Dwarf and Gnome quickly went to their room.
Laucian shot the rogue directly in the chest. He turned around and shot 2 more before they could react to this surprise attack. Before Rilrae had a chance to push away the rogue, he had her pressed against him even harder. He muttered a curse in Abyssal then commanded some orders to the remaining 2. Laucian saw a flash of steel and realized that the rogue must have a dagger pointed at Rilrae. He cursed loudly in Elven. Rilrae told Laucian to hurry up and shoot the other 2 and not to worry about her in elven, praying these crooks couldn't understand it. By the looks of it they couldn't understand them. Laucian was getting ready to shoot another arrow when one of the thieves said to lower his bow. "I'm not lowering it until you let her go." They whispered a few words. "I will not let her go; she will come back with us. Or die here. It's your choice elf."
"I honestly wouldn't want her to die. You seem to be friends. It was a good acting job though. She really did get me excited, I'm sure she can feel it." He grinned and pulled her even closer (if that's even possible). Laucian had no idea what to do. Rilrae had only a dagger hidden on her. She left her pack and weapons with him, hoping she'd have time to sprint to her things to grab her scythe. He saw Rilrae smile her devilish smile. She had an idea. She mumbled a few words in abyssal and kissed the rogue. He seemed a little surprised and kissed her back. Laucian noticed the other 2 weren't sure they knew what to do, before they had time to do anything an arrow shot them both. They fell down dead. The last rogue hit Rilrae hard in the head with his dagger hoping to knock her out. She let out a cry of pain and slumped a little on him, but she didn't loose consciousness. Laucian cursed silently to himself. He could carry Rilrae back to the Inn but not all of their stuff to go with it. This wasn't how the plan was suppose to go. He then noticed Rilrae was reaching for her hidden dagger. "I really think you should let us go. We've killed all of your men. And you will soon join them." "I really doubt that, she did kiss me pretty deeply. I'd say she likes me, even though she's most likely really dazed. She is stronger than what I first thought. That kind of blow would normally knock a gir-" he looked down at Rilrae in shock. She had stuck a dagger into his gut and was smiling widely. "See you in Hell" He tightened his hold on her. "You will pay wench!" He fell to the ground dragging her fainting body with his. Rilrae could see darkness. "Laucian, some help please! I'm going to." she was out cold, lying underneath the rogue. Laucian slowly walked up to Rilrae and poked at the rogue. He didn't move, perhaps he was out. He could hear him breathing deeply yet painfully. Laucian removed Rilrae from his grasp and splashed some water onto her. She started coughing and woke up. "What the Hell is wrong with you Laucian?" He pointed at the corpses. "I suggest we leave, grab your stuff. Let's get out of this ally." Rilrae took her bundle and readied her shant'ka. "Is he dead?" Laucian shook a no with his head. "Then I'll finish the job." "No, don't! He'll most likely die from loss of blood. Let's leave before anybody arrives." Laucian walked away, leaving Rilrae run to catch up with him. She ran with immense pain and had trouble walking the rest of the way. About 20 minutes later they found the Inn.
After nearly getting lost a few times Fnep suggested to Goliath to ask Kerwin for directions, since he had traveled a lot before joining up with the group.
Finally there was half a day's walk left, they would be there guaranteed before sundown. The woods slowly came to open plains and hills. "I've walked more in the past 2 weeks then I have in the past 2 months!" complained Fnep. "Maybe if you would stop complaining we'd have been there by now" Rilrae replied coldly and clearly annoyed.
