[@Rune_Alchemist][@Spanner] Vander recognized the reaction of disbelief and confusion from Rath. If there were no survivalists of his skill in this world then he was beginning to get a sense of his ability versus theirs. He felt mildly irritated as Rath passed his explanation off as an excuse. He was proud of his skills. He had worked to the bone to achieve them. He had truly earned his title and the abilities that came with it. [b]"I'm not exactly the compassionate type myself,"[/b] Vander responded after a deep breath. [b]"Should any problems arise, we are more than capable to handling most situations."[/b] He watched Rath mount his horse and wish them farewell. Well, as much of a farewell as his horse would allow. Emergency packages. Disappearing population. Dark faeries. This certainly peaked his curiosity. Vander glanced around to the others with an eager grin. [b]"Care for some adventure? I think it would be fun to figure out what's going on. I imagine the reward is quite very well worth it as well. Let's head to that adventurer's lodge and see what it takes to join in on the fun."[/b]
