The chatter coming from Tora that resulted from his question was enough to keep the kings mind off the indignity of the peasant work he was performing, at least for a few moments. Bowser snorted in amusement at Tora’s backhanded compliment for Poppi but unfortunately it bought something of an end to the speaking as they got on with their task. With great, brutal and inpatient cleaves Bowser messily mowed his way through the field while jr continued to explore the nearby buildings, though the boy found little of note in the quaint farmstead and, true to his word about not going far, did not venture further afield to the spire like houses found beyond the idyllic plot of land they had found.  

The young koopa returned to the fold at about the same time as the Centurion showed up out of the blue and eagerly joined in with the gathering of the fallen wheat. 

[color=FD0000]“OH HAY. ITS YOU. YOU DON'T HAPPEN TO KNOW HOW TO HUNT DO YA? OR KILL STUFF WITH ‘ACCURACY’? CHEF LADY SAID KILLING WITH PRECISION IS THE BEST WAY TO GET LOADS OF MEAT”[/color] Bowser asked as they loaded the last of their collective efforts into a cart. There was some grumbling about not being a donkey from the king before he grasped the two poles that would be attached to either side of the horse as if they were the handles of a wheelbarrow. 

[color=SpringGreen]“Kamek not back yet?”[/color] Jr asked upon rejoining them. Upon receiving the shakes of some heads he continued [color=SpringGreen]“Then we should check out this village till he gets back! Take a break before trying to hunt stuff again?”[/color] 

Bowser nodded before wiping his brow free of sweat that had built up while reaping [color=FD0000]“Yeah sure. I could use a drink.”[/color] farm labor was sweaty work he had discovered and so he hoped there might be a bar or well of some kind in the town. 

[color=FD0000]“LEAD THE WAY POPPI.”[/color] he instructed before lifting up the handles of the cart full of ore, gems, plants and stolen farming equipment and beginning to push it towards the spiky town. It wouldn't do to have any dirty thieving rats sneak in and take their stuff while they were investigating the town after all.

[b][color=DeepSkyBlue]Kamek: Level 3 [/color][/b] EXP: [color=DeepSkyBlue]/////////////////[/color]///////////// (17/30)
[b][color=DeepSkyBlue]Location:[/color][/b] Charnel Lane, Dead Zone 

Kamek hovered over the battlefield. A risky position to hold if the enemies his allies were facing had any inclination to strike at him, but fortunately his doppelganger trick wasn’t actually needed this time as the brutes where either to stupid or to busy to bother attacking the small floating target above them. This let him focus on other things, like listening in on the conversation between their monk and bleach haired punk this team had tagged along with. From what he was seeing in the brief time he had been here Kamek was inclined to agree with them. This squad seemed like they had bitten off a bit more than they could chew. It was certainly a far more actively hostile place than the land of adventure was. 

There you had to go looking for trouble, here it seemed like the opposite was true as from up in the air all Kamek could see was more and more broken down concrete infested with undead creatures stretching out in every direction. 

Still, the team was handling it admirably enough. As the wizard watched Gene used his increased to size to unleashed a massive shock-wave before the pair he had been listening into worked together to finish the fight, blades and bullets carving into the suffering before the driver of the van they had righted used her vehicle to finish the job.

With the primary threats dealt with Kamek released his enchantment, causing Gene to shrink back down, and then helped clean up the regular undead with a series of magical blasts from his wand before landing by the group. The wizard and his doppelgangers all quickly scooped up a bunch of regular zombie souls, there was plenty to go around, and started crushing them, fishing for something, anything, that might be useful for hunting massive boar/cow monsters back in the Land of Adventure. 

[color=DeepSkyBlue]”What you were saying earlier, about being ‘out gunned’ as you said it?”[/color] Kamek spoke to Donnie as he flew alongside one of the vans windows, he and his clones crushing sprites as they went, [color=DeepSkyBlue]”If you do feel like throwing in the towel then there’s a nice little village on the other side of that teleporter. If you don't then I can't promise much help from our side That group has split up to do a series of quests for this adventurers guild in the town. Roaming the land, solving problems and hunting dangerous beasts for prestige with the Guild.”[/color]  

[color=DeepSkyBlue]”That last part is what I came here for, we were having a bit of difficulty hunting the beasts in the proper manner to harvest their meats, as it required precise and unwasteful killing of the beasts which is not something my royal lieges are particularly apt at unfortunately. They’re a touch all or nothing. I was going to ask if you had tools or people to spare that would be more appropriate to the task but, well, you look like you need help a lot more than we do. Lives on the line rather than the prospect of dinner.”[/color] The old Koopa continued rambling

He finished crushing the 20 zombie sprites and then asked, [color=DeepSkyBlue]”So I should ask, do you think you need my help? Because nobody else is available, unless you want to try and recruit some adventurous from the guild through the teleporter, though I’m not sure how easy it would be to convince them to come here. What I do know is that if you hold fast till nightfall, or just call it a day till tomorrow, and we’ll have resources from questing and the other team back together to lend you a hand if you want it.”[/color] 

[color=DeepSkyBlue]”I’ll stick around a little longer at least, see what you all want to do.”[/color] The wizard finished before he and his clones, arms laden with sprite created items, hovered over to the trolley and deposited their loot. Four out of the five then poofed out of existence, leaving only the real wizard to inspect his ill gotten gains.
