The Final Hazard

The moment that he had stepped inside of the carriage and closed the door, Fortune knew that he had made a mistake trusting the letter that was currently nestled in a shirt pocket under his armor. Just looking around at the state of the 'carriage', the various and vastly different people and the state of the world outside of the windows were more then enough to suggest that he wasn't anywhere that could be located on one of the maps of the world...

According to common knowledge and myth, stepping into the cursed magical forest of Athel Loren was said to have an effect of transporting you into a different world but he hadn't been anywhere near those cursed trees, let along taken the truly brave act of stepping into said forest. So what left at least two things that he knew of; Either he was at the mercy of a dangerously powerful wizard... or worse, a daemon itself.

Despite a small gulp, he did he best to remain calm and keep his emotions under control; Panicking now would only screw him over. The opportunity to break free of... whatever vile sorcery this was would come, but he needed to bide his time. Watching the others in the carriage carefully, his eyebrow raised from under his helm at the woman who came over to ask if some of the other passengers where his.

Taking a moment to clear his throat, his voice sounded like it came from a young man... who had seen a lot and was mature beyond his years. "Ma'am, I have never seen either of them before in my life."

Artyom Barkov

Artyom's eyes seemed to glaze over a little bit as one of the magic users of the party started to go into... technical details of the craft. Some spiel about different types of magic, good and evil, yadda yadda yadda. He didn't really take in a word of it until the discussion was thankfully over, at which point he blinked as he refocused on the present where he didn't need to he swallowed up with magical know how or debates. Seeing as he seemed to be the center point upon which this group was forming, he decided to make his feelings on the matter known. "Let me put it this way. You could carry around a sack of cute, adorable puppies everywhere you go. Every time you cast a spell, you could reach into that sack and pull out one of the puppies before breaking its neck... and as long as you did your job right, I wouldn't care."

Turning to look at the man who claimed to have contacts, he grinned as he pointed to Cael. "Cael, you just became one of my favorite people here. Do what you can."

As the question of gaining a ship was raised, he grinned a little knowingly to himself. "Oh don't worry about it. Commandeering a vessel will be easy enough. After all, the ports are currently filled with more ships then they should strictly have and there are plenty of people who came on those ships who left everything back home to get to safety. I can sort out those arrangements easily enough while everyone else is getting things together."

Treasure Hunters - A Warhammer Fantasy Adventure

Seeing that Alison was rather... uncomfortable with whatever had been going on with Jehan and seemed more then happy to come over and join him, Fortune was more then happy to meet her halfway. While he wasn't quite in-between Jehan and Alison, anyone with experience with fighting could tell that it wouldn't take much for him to change that if need be.

However, this defensive stance changed somewhat as Jehan introduced Alison as... his daughter? Blinking in surprise, he looked between Jehan and Alison for a few moments before sighing and putting the sword away. "I... take it that this isn't exactly the happiest of reunions then?"

I'll let you go first. After all you need to have the chance to react to Fortune being there...

Artyom Barkov

It was interesting.

All he had done was shake a kid's hand (named Troe... came from a noble house and still acted like that meant something in this new day and age. Who knew, maybe he'll live long enough that it just might) and stated an interest in heading South in pursuit of fun and profit when an absolute flood of people came out of the woodwork in order to join such an endeavor! One of them was even a talking bloody fox! Hell, he strongly suspected that if he waited for a little while longer a couple more people would show up and attempt to throw their lot in with this group that seemed to be forming around himself and Troe.

If Artyom had known it would have been this easy to create a mercenary band, he would have gone out on his own years ago. Still, there were some things that had to be brought into order first and foremost.

Letting out a short, sharp whistle in order to draw forth the attention of everyone there, he quickly slid into the role of a confident sergent. "Alright everyone listen up! To answer what questions that have been asked so far, yes this group is going to be heading South in relation to the bounty just offered and anyone who asked if we could use whatever talents or skill set you just said welcome aboard!" Taking a moment to take a deep breath, he quickly continued "I have faced these things before and survived, I'm happy to go into more detail about that after we have started to head off because I would don't want to tell that story more times then I have to for educational purposes and I suspect we'll be getting a few more people before we leave."

Taking a moment to see if there were going to be any other hopefuls walking over to sign up, he quickly decided to get into the brass tax "Now that we have that settled, my name is Artyom and who here knows where we can get a wagon or two, some beasts to pull it and some basic supplies around here? Because I don't know about you but I would rather avoid cannibalism because there wasn't any food for as long as possible." From the dark chuckle that escaped him, it was meant to be a joke... mostly.

Pointing out to the man with the ladle, he quickly asked "You know how to fight as well as cook? Because it'll make everyone's lives a lot easier if you can."

I find myself asking a very important question: Considering that Artyom has actually fought the shadowy monster things that more or less ate his homeland, what exactly did he encounter and what sort of tactics or abilities do they employ in combat? I know you said that it's grand plan is simply to grind everyone into dust via endless numbers but how does that actually play out in a proper battle?

Do they just keep sending wave after wave of 'solders' at the defenders so that they tire out and get cut down sooner or later? Just throw so much stuff at them at once that it is simply overwhelming? or are they more of a tyranid force in that if they encounter something that they are having trouble dealing with, they'll 'evolve' new units designed to deal with the issue in short order?
