[quote=Anitta][color=lightblue]"So be it. Neil, would you please help this man with his belongings while I begin setting up this place?"[/color][/quote]

"Alright." Neil nodded before going off to do as you asked.

The old man was ready to go by the time you were done setting up traps the traps. He appreciated that you and Neil accompanied him but he bade farewell when you reached the main road, saying he will be okay and will not be wasting any more of your time trying to catch the bandits. You and Neil had the entire cabin to yourselves, albeit a trap-filled one.

"Nice traps. Though, did you really have to make them legit? I mean, we're not actually catching bandits are we?" Neil said to you. "Anyway, the old man said he was coming back. Are we going to deal with that or are we gonna leave that to the Dwarves?" He asked. "And if we go with the latter, do we tell the Dwarves the old man isn't gone forever or do we lie and hope they don't find out?"

"Sorry if I'm asking a lot of questions. I'm a detail-y sort of guy and I don't want this biting us later."

Ian gave you a confused look. Well, you felt it was a confused look since he had an helmet on. "Uhh... doggies rarely eat veggies. And Varjan wardoggies REALLY don't eat veggies. I mean, look at their teeth and those horns. You think Joshua Caldeyron put those in just so they could chew plants? Except Alraunes and Dryads of course."

[quote=Marxello Catchanale]'What potion are these ingredients needed for, anyway?'[/quote]

"To make wine, of course! Didn't I tell you earlier?" Ian replied. "It's for a dude named Paul. Sure, he doesn't drink but looking at recent events, I believe a good bottle of fine alcohol and maybe a couple of prostitutes should get him back on track. I think I should also throw a party for him and invite the rest of my peeps. I may have to get food and drinks which could be expensive. Maybe I should just invite him to a bar or a stripclub..."

And Ian rambled on and on. It was not anything too problematic since he appeared to watch his voice from being loud enough to be heard. After half an hour, the pack began to move and leave the area. "Well, they're moving out. Let's get moving too." The mercenary went in once the pack was completely gone and began gathering the wine ingredients into a sack. Albeit slowly and carefully. "These things are pretty fragile so one needs care and finesse when extracting them."

"You know, you're pretty nice for an Order Hero. I hope you're not like this all the time or else someone's gonna want you dead sooner or later. You better hope it's not the Order or else they'll..."

While Ian began to ramble again, you found a lone wardog who also found you. The hound stared at you for a second before pouncing on you, its sharp teeth trying to get a bite on your neck. "Hey, you alright there, Marky? Can't really turn around since these things require lots of attention."

[quote=Bast Ragoczy][color=C6DEFF]"So... What are your true reasons? Don't worry, I will not judge, or try to stop you. You have my word on that. I am in fact interested on the outcome of this... mission."[/color][/quote]

Riñas giggled. "[color=92278f]As you know, I am a Dark Priest of the Fallen God. And it is the Dark Priests' duty to spread the teachings of the Fallen God. I am no different and the port has a really nice abandoned church from where we can start.[/color]"

[quote=Bast Ragoczy][color=C6DEFF]"Very well, Miss Riñas, what exactly are we doing here? I'm at your disposal."[/color][/quote]

"[color=92278f]Did I not make myself clear?[/color]" Riñas raised an eyebrow. "[color=92278f]I'm pretty sure I just said that you should use the chalk I gave you to mark the doors of abandoned houses.[/color]" The Dark Priest repeated.

"[color=92278f]Oh and I hope you accept... other forms of payment.[/color]" Riñas continued. "[color=92278f]I don't really have much money and I need to save to purchase more important things for the port. We do have food to spare though so we can use that for payment instead.[/color]"
