I joined a band of mercenaries, all kinds of weird people from all kinds of races. Doing anything for money, going all over the place. It's the exciting life I was looking for, I think...

Now we're besieging an entire castle. I haven't even been here that long. This is kind of a big step.

Hello! Today is your lucky day! You've opted in to receive special offers and free advice from time to time, designed to help you accomplish tasks that might seem impossible. Should you choose to accept it, we're here to help you with whatever you might need. There are absolutely no downsides to this offer. No catch-22s! Isn't that nice?

Now, let's get started.
Dagnyr looks like she needs a kiss. You should get right on that.

Now, you should get yourself a black mage hat pronto. It will bring out your inner inces... no, power.

Hey kid, got any sisters?

Even ones you don't know about yet?

Hello! I'm the cynical but logical voice in your head. One of many. Listen to me, and we'll go far! At least, further than we'd get if you listened to any of those other guys. Anyway, nice little team you've got there. Looks to me like the only thing you can do at the moment is what you were paid to do... Oh wait, what was that exactly? I mean you said mercenary company, but what's your job and who hired you? Also... the three of you... that the whole company?

I'm not kissing Dagnyr.

It's probably your basic one noble hates another noble and starts a war over whatever it is they want. I don't need to question, as long as I get paid. We also have a whole contingent of soldiers with us. I think Dagnyr and Nako just wanted to keep an eye on me because I'm new.

"Stop spacing out! You're gonna get an axe in the face!"

>>111881
Don't get an axe in the face.

>>111881
It's okay, you can kiss Dagnyr later.
Call Nako a crazy cat lady, then concentrate on not getting axefaced.

It's like getting shitfaced, but instead of booze going down your gullet, it's cold steel and death. Not nearly as tasty or fun.

>>111881
you need to get yourself a shield or something.. because that outfit you are wearing looks rather unarmored.. you're probably luck that most of the guard in here are going to be shellshocked for the next minute or so.

Okay well I'd agree that you probably should concentrate on the battle foremost. Either stay with the group's unified front or, if y'all are more individual warriors than soldiers, do whatever it is that you do best. Are you REALLY here to raze the entire castle?

Also don't go doing anything reckless unless you're getting a bonus for each confirmed kill or something. No need for heroism when you're a merc. Still, keep an eye on your two friends and see if you can spy anything interesting... My senses tingle that in situations like these, there's always some ancient relic or captured princess that one might stumble across.

Would you happen to have any superpowers?

>>111881
Stab and weave. That's the plan, and don't stray too far from your er...unit. If you see an opportunity when the surge pushes past a lock-house or something, lets do some lootin.

Listen to these guys, they sound like they know what they're doing. No heroics, unless you're getting paid for heroics, and try to score yourself some armor (If you don't already have any) and a shield. And -keep your eyes out-, when we voices are around, big stuff tends to go down shortly after we arrive, even if things are normal-seeming at the start

>>111924
Ooo, that's a useful ability. Anyway, yeah, finish off the dude with the spear your fire-breath missed, and... Actually, exactly where are we pushing forward -to-?. We goin' straight for the keep?

Okay so you can breathe fire. Cool, but beware of making too much of a spectacle of yourself. Seem important or powerful, you become a target for opportunists or wannabe heroes. Do what you need to in order to survive, and otherwise do your job.

And then I'm sure you'll remember to look at the stitching of your shirt behind your neck, which will show you that your name is CLAUS and that you are thus a BOY.

Noooooo, don't. That might damage any shinies in the castle. Or at least make them harder to get. Probably also make it harder for the troops you're serving with to get around, and might piss off your employer for doing more damage to the castle than needed, too.

...Then again, since your pals -did- blow a hole in the entire damn wall... I dunno, raze with caution.

I can go up the tower to the parapet and try to get in that way or I can try to break down the door into the main hall. I'm not sure which way to go.

Parapet. Definetly want to go that way. They'll have less room to dodge your breath attack.

LOOK IN PANTS. DETERMINE GENDER TO BE MALE.

>>111949
Well, the main hall is the... Main hall. They probably expect you to attack there, and you -never- attack someplace the enemy expects you to attack, with the possible exception of if you're completely certain they can't do a damn thing about it. Tower. Let the rank and file soldiers attack the main hall and get bogged down in a bloody melee.

>>111951
In the middle of a fight? That's like asking the enemy "Please cut my head off."

I do second the parapet, though. Breaking into the main hall seems like a predictable tactic, they could have set up an ambush for you there.

Parapet... no way to dodge your flames there.

Take off your pants. It helps with mobility. Trust us, we did it in the past with another person. A little girl, in fact, who thought all couples should dance poka.

inform him that picking his ears is a filthy habit. Then I'd go with >>112046 and suggest that you pretend to be on his side, see if you can get him to go past you whilst you "go for reinforcements"... then when he's got his back to you, CHECKMATE.

"They've overrun the courtyard!"

"Oh... Dat ain't gud."

"Go for reinforcements!"

"Eh? Roight!"

I'm really rather torn. I generally don't approve of tricking someone into their death, but on the other hand you're a mercenary, and business means killing. So go for a killing blow. Maybe thru the back into a kidney? Or heck, if you're really brave or have some valiant undertones, just poke him in the back and order him to surrender.

If he turns around, stab him in the back.
If he runs past you, stab him in the back.
If he stands there confused, point at a random thing and then do the above.

I Was gonna say "Go look" and then shove him off the rampart but backstabbing works too.

>>112072

Say "Actually, WE'RE the reinforcements. Fall in, soldier! I'm your new commander, so off with rock and on with sock!"

Actually, I'd almost suggest that you tell the orc/ogre to go down to the courtyard to help out with the fighting, while saying you will go to get reinforcements. It goes down to get slaughtered by superior numbers, you head into the keep.

Still, you already told -him- to get reinforcements, so you might need to backstab him or shove him off the wall. Or just follow him in pretending you're on his side. Whastever works.

"You are out of uniform soldier. Go find a skirt and put it on, pronto!"

Guys, no, we've wasted enough time already, there's nothing practical about being bloodthirsty. Somebody could sneak up and blindside Rynh while she was mutilating the corpse, and there's a possible bonus to be had killing the castle's lord! We should keep moving.

...Guys, Rynh has already killed the poor sod. The blood on her sword wasn't there a second ago, and I think she knows enough about anatomy to kill somebody dead.

Poor Ork... We shall always remember you and your antiques. Every remembrance day, we will bring you flowers and recount the brief moments that we knew you. Farewell, you big bro.

>>112995
Yes because stabbing someone through the chest leaves no blood on your sword.

S/he did stab a guard at the start of the battle. If there was no blood on the blade then I think the Drawfag forgetting to draw it is more likely than he/r having dried off the sword some time during a raging battle.

I'll worry about morality when I'm not in a position that it will kill me to do so.

Hmm... Good. These passages should be pretty clear with everyone worried about the invasion.

>>113106
Hmmm, now where would the lord be at currently? If he's one that goes for personal combat he could be in the main hall where the battle is quite possibly being waged right now. Even if he's not that fond of combat he might be there to inspire the troops. Find a servants passageway or something and check it out.

If he's not there then he might be heading for his secret exit. Which, if he is sensible, would be somewhere in the celler, having a secret exit in your bedroom is like asking to be assassinated.

Go check that next passage there.

Well, the lord's bedroom probably has some shiny loot, as may the armory. Does the castle have a dedicated treasury? Hrm. Last place I can think of that is likely ti have some shinies would be the main hall, but as we're all pretty much agreed that it's currently the location of a bloodbath, let's avoid there.
As for the current location of the castle's lord... I really don't know. >>113109 lays out the possibilities best I think. So, I guess it's a choice of whether you'd rather find the lord or some loot.

>>113106
As you go along, make sure you give the candleholders a gentle tug - not enough to rip it off the wall, but enough to move it if it's a hidden switch.
If, by mistake, you manage to rip one off the wall... well, you can deal with that when it comes to it.

Wait, how'd we get inside again?

Also I don't like being alone like this, anyone you stumble across could be either on your side or one of them, and could you tell the difference? Even better question, could THEY tell the difference?

They don't move or do anything that I can tell and I don't know the layout here, so I can't tell where the lord would be. I guess I'll just have to move through here and figure something out.

I'd say stick to the big corridors until you see a fancy door. Don't take a candle, it'll make you not stealthy.

>>113123
Hmmm, there should still be servants around. Try to find one that you can ask some questions. For every time they don't answear you cut off a finger. It's not the most sophisticated torture but it usually works quite well.

>>113130
It's isn't very stealthy though, besides, one should generally aspire to a higher order than mere brutality.

Anyhow, take care to be quiet as you proceed along this passage.

>>113147
Well we can put a sock in their mouth before we start cutting off fingers. Then we're still stealthy and we could probably find the lord faster then. If we get his head we should land ourselves a nice bonus and a chance at the best loot.

Ok, I'll keep moving, but I'm not sure where to go from here. I know where the main hall is in general, but I don't know where this tunnel leads.

Maybe I should try to map out this place...

Mapping the area would probably be a good idea. At the very least you should put hashes on the wall so you can find your way back. I'd say just wander randomly until you find something interesting.

>>113425
You should probably check out the main hall before you start running around elsewhere. Your intervention there could be the thing that turns the tide of battle. The more important role your mercenary company plays the more cash you're likely to get afterward. Which leads to better employment oppurtunities in the future and even more cash.

Alright... I'm at this little T here off the main wall, probably underground or inside the structure of the keep. The hall was over here somewhere, so this probably connects to it somewhere.

>>113441
Yeah. I've been away from the main fight for a while... Hopefully I can do something to harass the enemy from here.

Keep going straight. Don't take the right turn that dead ends here.

>>113457
If you can deliver a full powered flame breath from behind at an oppurtune moment you should be able to create a breach for the attackers. You don't happen to have any grenades? The goblin obviously has explosives and with your breath attack you can light a fuse at any time.

Harassing the enemy might be rather noble of you, in the sense that you'd be doing your job and all... but if you're doing your job in order to get paid, well then LOOTING AND PILLAGING fills that square pretty nice, and I don't recall any order against that in your commands, do you? So i'd continue wandering down here for a while, ready for a fight but not necessarily looking for it, and hope to the gods we find some treasury or something like that.

>>113461
Looting is best done once the battle is won. This isn't a town we're sacking where we only have to worry about steadfast civilians. This is a castle we're attacking and the defenders are still alive. Once we have killed all of them we can loot safely and if our company is responsible for the fall of the castle we can probably have free picks at the loot as well as a nice bonus to our pay.

I'd bet a gold piece that fiddling with that oddly-colored bottle of wine on the rack there opens a secret passage, but I don't think anybody would be stupid enough to take said bet.

>>114148
Do you know if they want to keep the keep? Because otherwise you could probably end the battle right there right now. Just light up the booze celler and then run out of the keep as fast as you can.

Otherwise you should look around for anything that seems odd. Booze cellers are among the more common places for emergancy exits. And find a stick that you can light on fire, then you can use it as an improvised weapon and you won't burn your throat.

All right we don't exactly have a bunch of time to fiddle faddle with finding the secret passage that MIGHT exist... so just wreck all the shit in the room. Then move on if there's nothing new

The brown bottle is some kind of liquor, maybe whiskey or something. I can't see it to check for labels.

This brick pushes in and why is it so damn dark in here! I'm pretty sure something opened up and it's even darker in there! I can see a bit of light though.

I'd recommend doubling back and getting a torch real quick. Safer than breathing fire to see.

>>114268
Indeed, you need a torch.

Fine. I'll go back for a candle or something. All this fire is making my throat sore anyway.

"The invaders are about to breach the great hall. We have to move to reinforce it!"

Oh damn it, someone is coming. Sssshit... A lot of someones.

Is wine flammable? You could throw it on the ground ahead of you and light it with your breath when the step over it.

>>114727
How strong is that alcohol? How hot can you get your fire breath and how long is the range? If it's strong enough to be highly flamable I would suggest tossing it into the crowd and then letting loose with your strongest more powerful firebreath and then follow up with an immediate sword based attack on the stunned survivors.

If that's not possible then sneak towards a better ambush spot.

Rather than jumping on the flammable-alcohol-breath bandwagon, I'd like to instead suggest that you simply go another way, select another route, explore alternatives, etc. And heck, if you manage to get behind this lot and then run into your allies, well you're in the perfect position to flank them a la flambe

If you get chance to somehow hide and follow them they would lead you directly to the Main Hall... thus providing a perfect chance to disrupt their defences in a crucial time.

Damn, damn, damn! Where are they heading? I'm going to get trampled under if I get cornered by that many soldiers down here.

Duck back in the fucking cellar then.

You have no shoes! Ninja sneak away, back to the alcohol!

You're clearly too adorable to die. Clearly, then, if we do not wish to be found by the soldiers... the obvious solution is to not be found by the soldiers.

How nimble/acrobatic/dexterous are you? You wouldn't be possibly able to brace yourself against two walls in a narrow corridor and shimmy upwards, would you?

Dive for cover!

>>114880
Grab the candle, leave the wine bottle on the floor, then head back into the wine cellar. Wait until they come investigating why the bottle of wine was lying around, and light the place up before escaping up the trap door.

Use the alcohol to blow a massive alcohol fireball all over them!

Blow a massive, alcohol-fueled fireball.

Shit will be REAL.

alcohol is flammible. Use it to spit a giant ball of fire at them!

toss a few bottles of high proof liquor first, just grab as many as you can in each hand and just chuck them at the guys, most of 'em should break. Then light 'em up.

I take a big mouthful of booze and chuck the bottle at them.

"Ow! Son of a bitch! Something hit me!"

The sound of breaking glass is my cue to blast the bastards. Lots of screaming and burning, but now there won't be any reinforcements to get in the way.

Ugh... I am overusing my fire breath. My throat hurts and I don't think I've got much left. Good thing the booze made up for it.

Good thing you have torches! Don't forget to have some tea when this is over to help that throat. Continue on, make sure they're dead.

>>115098
Save a flamebreath for later. Now go and poke them all with your sword to make sure they're dead.

After that we should head towards the main hall. Since the escape tunnel was neither guarded or had a lord at it he or she either already escaped or is still in the main hall. So let's get there and win this battle already.

Fuck the main hall. Get a candle and go see what was in the secret room dammit. It's probably an escape tunnel full of the most important guys trying to get away, or else a treasure room totally crammed with loot.

Assuming that there's no threat of immediate danger, do take the time to make sure the poor burning people are quite dead, THEN get a torch and head back to the secret passage.

Alright, I get it. Carefully.

"My lord, the invaders have beaten back our men in the courtyard and are assaulting the doors to the hall. I've sent word to consolidate our forces here."

Damn that Ivek. To think he'd go to these lengths over this. He'll destroy everything just to line his own pockets."

Ooh... This sounds important, I just don't know what it's supposed to mean.

Can you take your hands out of the way? If someone steps on you they are going to hurt sooo badly...

Pffft, the whole tile's raised up. If anyone so much as glances his way, he's seen. Luckily for him there's a wall in the other direction so he doesn't have to worry about what he doesn't see. Anyway I'd say that as long as you don't see any people that seem to be able to prove a big threat, get your ass up there and take the Lord hostage. Everyone else is expendable.

Sounds like the guy you fellows are working for is planning to destroy something worthwhile as part of a get rich quick scheme?

>>115427
Sneak in and get a visual for the situation.

>>115427
Sounds like you have the lord near you. Check out how many guards he has. We need his head for some sweet extra bonus cash that we can spend on booze and hookers.

Hookers? Won't... male ones be better? Since we are clearly a female. We might not need to pay for them though. Just walk into a bar while wearing a black mage hat.

>>115978
Hookers whores prostitutes bar wenches or cute servingboys. Whatever. And we still don't know Rynhs gender.

But before we can worry about the nature of sexual favors that will be purchased in the future we need to get cash. So we need a couple of important heads. Oh and lords usually wear some jewelry, we can take that off his corpse as well.

It's kind of empty in here. The lord isn't even well guarded.

"Ugh... We weren't prepared for this kind of attack. We need to escape!"

"Ach... We're probably dead either way at this point."

"In any case, we cannot allow Ivek to bring the objects together. He's too consumed with his own greed to realize what that would cause."

This all sounds really important and I have no idea what it means. This better not have something to do with some artifact of evil power that will destroy the world if misused. I am totally not getting sucked into some crappy fairy tale story.

>>116067
Too late. Keep listening, if they split up, mark one and stalk them.

>>116067
Let's listen and see if that's gonna happen or not.

>>116067
Of course you're not. Not unless they pay you a hefty sum.

The three sitting down look like noncombatants. Tip over the bench to the left and then rush in from the right. Give the guards your trade mark flamebreath to the face and make sure they're dead. Then cut down the three others and cut off their heads. We're going to get paid for this one.

>>116067
Maybe you can grab the object and keep it safe while still fulfilling the contract.

>>116067
>This better not have something to do with some artifact of evil power that will destroy the world if misused. I am totally not getting sucked into some crappy fairy tale story.

Considering that you are a racial halfbreed of uncertain parentage, trained as a mercenary, with guiding voices in you head you don't 'really' have a choice in such maters.

Don't worry about it, you aren't the first draconian hybrid we've advised.

Raise your hand and go "Hey, uh, don't mind me, but who's Ivek?"

As if you belong there and there's nothing strange about interrupting.

Damn, guards. Well I'm sure you're tough enough to take them, but the others would probably escape. Or are they perhaps just statues of guards?

Regardless, do you see the door? That'd be your first objective, keeping your potential hostages from escaping and thus denying you your bounty. Still, you shouldn't act right away, hear what they have to say and hope they send the guards away. By the by if they happen to reveal the location of whatever object, or happen to have one on it... I'm all for not getting involved in such things, but the thing people never really understand is that rather than setting up an elaborate castle with a special room to house said object, it'd be better to either bury it in an unmarked grave or cast it into the ocean. More likely to keep it out of evil hands if they have no idea where to look.

Also dawww aren't you a cute lil' sneaky thing!

"Oh, aye. If I were a few decades younger, I'd be out there showing these damned mercenaries what a real fight was about, but for now, we have to keep it out of that damn buzzard's claws."

Well, how do you feel about kissing Atu and Dagnyr?
Wait, did I say 'kissing'? I meant 'killing'.
'Cause if you can't convince them that your employer is an evil douchebag bent on destroying the world, which would prevent you three from using the money you get from this job, you might have to kill them. Or kiss them. Whichever is hotter.

At any rate you might want to pop out now and do a dramatic reveal, followed by quick side change. Something along the lines of "You mean that bastard who hired us is trying to destroy the world? Oh fuck no. He is not breaking the world. If he breaks the world, I won't be able to use the money I get for this job. Fuck this job."

>>116317
Also by "Atu" I meant "Nako"
But you can kiss Atu as well if it'll help

Well if you don't want to be an unwitting pawn... then WIT! But lacking the knowledge of the ability to do that, just listen to us. Anyway you have two options right now... You can make a stand HERE in order to get whatever it they're protecting, or you can weasel your way back into the trapdoor and make your move once they're down there and (hopefully) defenseless. Do you think you can manage to get back down without being noticed? If not, or if there's the possibility they might NOT exit via that route, you'll need to do your thing here and now.

I know there are two guards here and all, but heck, you're a hero (even if you don't know it yet)... taking on many foes by yourself is something you do for a living.

Erh Ask them honestly if they need a little help?

>>116317
Hey, blowing up the world stops money, that is a good point. Why would they have a different opinion on that? Play things right and you're gonna keep your allies and get more, the world will NOT explode, AND you'll get nobles everywhere offering to shine your shoes!

"BLOODY FESTERING HELL! Where did you come from?!"

"I asked if shanking you and your friends and turning you over to my employer was going to make my life suck..."

"Ah... Aye... The thing he's after is supposed to be part of a key that unlocks some sealed tomb or temple of a dead god. Anyone who opens it will either gain the power of the god, gain the favor of the revived god or just unleash the god to continue destroying the world, which is what it was killed for in the first place!"

That doesn't sound good and if this guy is willing to pay this much to get the damn key thing, he must be pretty sure the legend is true... or he's a chump.

Well, you can give it to me along with a sack full of money, or I can kill you all and take it. Oh, and how do you destroy such a thing?

So if we give our employer a nice replica of the key, he wouldn't know any better?

well, you did find a couple of secret passages, you could probably get them out with the artifact and just say you didnt find them..

uhh dont be the one to tell your employer that.

Might as well join up with them, stupid key needs to be broken and stupid employer needs to be kicked in the face. Ask the stupid idiots how to break the stupid key.

What the fuck people! These are just some random guys talking about some ancient prophecy. It could all be bullshit. And most of all it prevents immediate pay off and immediate getting drunk. Let's just shank these bastards and dump the key in a well or something. Getting the key wasn't in the contract. We don't need to babysit old dwarfs and useless nobles, we need money to get drunk on.

Yes... guys suck, don't they? Aren't you glad you're... not one?

Ask yourself this... Are you good, neutral, or evil?

So... switch to actively opposing your boss, just collect the paycheck, or get on long-term contracts with your boss?

Also, Actively help these guys, let them live with no help, kill them in the name of professionalism, or kill just because blood is so pretty?

Personally, I'd say killing them in the name of professionalism, destroying or hiding the key, then opposing your boss after this job is done.

>>116635
Most prophesies are bullshit. Just let me get drunk and I could mumble out several prophesies that sound vague and omnius and a couple that are very specific.

The shit with the prophecy is not your problem. Just kill them and throw away the key in the ocean or something. Problem solved and you get paid. Then we can forget about this shit, get drunk and get laid.

I'm actually going to go with >>116587, primarily. If we're thinking we're in a fairy tale, sure it might be all legit, but if we consider the world as a whole, we've no idea what's true and what's bullshit. Besides, we're obviously not one of their men and we're armed, so they'll say whatever the heck they need to in order to save their own necks.

My suggestion: Relieve them of whatever artifact they're carrying and, as suggested, DUMP IT either in a random hole in the ground that no one will ever think to look in or weigh it down and throw it into a body of water.

>>116397

Help them out.

Wait Wait Wait... Just because prophecies 'can' be bullshit doesn't mean they are. I mean it would be kinda a crappy thing to kill these guys and find out "whoops! world gunna end now, hope you like sucking on the tentacled cock of you new dark overlords or something"

Besides... money isn't worth much when chaos, darkness and pain have become the new common currency

>>116706
Killing them won't do that. All we have to do is dump the stupid old key somewhere. Like a volcano or a deep well or the fucking ocean. They're not needed for keeping the key away from our employer. We can just cut off their heads, get paid, dump the key and then get drunk.

Yeah... Exactly why are we in favor of continuing to be the pawn of evil? I know we don't really want to get involved in stuff that's not our problem, but 'The world might be destroyed' is the kind of thing that's about everybody's problem. Help them out.

And do we -really- want to risk the world getting destroyed on people just -not- finding where ever we dump the key, if we just drop it down a dark hole or something?

>>116713
And these people are trustworthy guardians? They seem rather incompetent at guarding a key.

Our employers motivation isn't what's important. Getting paid is the important part. If they can give us 30 times the money we get now then we get them out. Otherwise it's too much work and especially to much risk. And we only get them out of the tunnel and to the nearest settlement. If they want to guard the fucking key instead of dumping it into a deep sea trench then they can do it themselves.

Unless you want to try and help them escape through the front door or something like that.

Looking at it more logically, if you help them out and they later get captured, they can tell whoever that they gave the artifact to you.

But dead men tell no tales.

Damn it! What should I do?

Nah, if you run into more guards you can say you're with them.

Don't kill them, think of the future!

Besides, better chance of the world getting screwed, and that's a bad thing.

Stop cutting your hand! Anyway there's no definite proof that there is any treasure trove that they've got hidden away... it could just be a promise to keep you from killing them right away. But then again they've proven to be somewhat trusting in you, insofar as they've given you an (allegedly) powerful ancient artifact. Though it could just be a piece of glass for all you'd know. My vote is to play it safe for now... Escort them (to their promised treasure) as long as it's safe, but if you run into trouble, act as if you also just came across this group and promptly slay them. Damn, minus karma points for me.

Barracks. Stables would be too easy, besides, they need weapons. Can they fight at all?

Hey kid, how's your skill with that sword? How long've you been training and under who?

The barracks probably has soldiers in it, which means fighting. The stables, on the other hand, are more likely to merely have horses, which are useful to have when running away.

Odd that from such a height you can still hear each other... and it's probably too high for any feasible length of rope. Inform them that jumping is their only chance and then, if they don't comply, leave without them. Also judge whether or not this stream is a good place to dump the artifact.

*FWOOSH!* *KER-SPLOOSH!*

AH FUCK!

Assume you're under attack. DIVE DIVE DIVE. Take a deep breath, plunge under, see if you can make it across to the other side or to some cover. Reeds or whatnot.

Someone shooting at you? Dive. Someone falling and possibly drowning because they suck? Dive.

Never be the first to jump. God damn it, this better be worth the pay out.

What there's an extra person. No time to ask questions, they'll just have to pay you more later, go go go!

"See, quickest way out. No problems to deal with now."

You studied a sand table, right? Or at least a map?

Head downstream a ways and then lead them to relative safety. Then you can go back and act like they just escaped, right? Make some nominal cash.

>>118110
Well.

Lead the way for these poor fools.

I believe the third person is the more-alert-than-we-thought guard. Probably not as eager to die himself.

Sneak them away from the general fighting to somewhere they can hide. Ask them if they know of any good potential hidey-holes (or try to recall if you know of any good ones yourself). They should know the general area better'n you, I think, given that the dwarf looks like the lord of these lands.

Resign yourself to missing out on the big pay out, but who knows, with the key gone, maybe the pay won't be that big.

Anyway, just stick with them and hope one of your friends picks up on your pay and that your presence isn't missed too much. Going back to your friends to get paid would bring the key within range of Ivek (unless you want to hand it back to the dwarf), so I wouldn't advice it.

Get a move on!

Let's see if I remember the area. I dunno for sure, I'm not from here.

RUUUUUUUN FOR THE HIIIIIIILLS

RUUUUUN FOR YOUR LIIIIIIVES

...actually the maybe the elves would provide safe passage for the poor humans.

Well fuck. I guess make your way to the south bank and then to the bridge? It's that or north bank but then you've got nothing but hills and... some trees.

Do NOT go to the elves. We'll get trapped in a dimension without time, and then probably be eaten by those pointy-eared fucks

Is your employer an elf? If so, go to town. If not, the elves seem like they could be a good option.

>>118169
Ale and whores sounds nice.
GO to TOWN.

You have a dwarf lord (or is that human lord?) with you, but the elves still sound like a neat idea, as they might provide some aid and passage to your refugees...IF they had okay relations with their neighbours, that is.

Bonus: Generally, elves are against the utter destruction of all creation.

Psst. They probably have guards on the bridge, and the town. Go North and use the river to mark your path. Avoid anything along the way by dipping into the hills. Once safely away from the patrols and danger, find boat, or cross on your own. Then go back to town, or where-ever your merc friends hang, and hook back up with them to get paid.

Ale + Whores = Crazy Delicious.

Hmm... Running off to collect my golds and partying sounds good, but then the others might think I'm deserting instead of just... uh... taking advantage of arising opportunity.

What bank are you on? The southside? Don't tell me you got out on the shore of the castle

I think he's on the west bank, either above or below the bridge.

Do you know if Ivest has taken the town, or if there are any mercenaries there? It might be a VERY bad move to go there, especially with your new 'employers' in tow.

Ask them if they have good relations with the elves, or if they want to risk getting horses and supplies in town...Or if they have a suggestion on what to do now.

You need supplies to travel to where the ol' dwarf and his posse wants to go, and you can either travel slow and out-of-sight or fast and on the roads.

Elves mean having to try out that "diplomacy" thing and not burn down any trees, town means maybe getting caught and getting into a fight with fellow mercs or Ivest and his goons.

Oh wait, correction. Looks like he's on the northside of the moat.

So... anyone noticed that our beloved rat/half dragon wears a skirt? I believe the gender is clear now, since it is not a kilt or a battle skirt.

I've been wearing the same thing the whole time. What does it matter? What's important is... I dropped my sword.

>>118508
Could be a robe, or a tunic, or some other word I don't know.

>>118508
We've always known that it's a chick.

>>118518
Go back in and get the damn thing.

Really? Are you trolling or do you simply not understand we've established his maleness?

And god damn it don't focus on the clothing or sword... determine what side of the water you're on!

Was it a really cool sword?

Also where do you think the rest of your group is? You've got three people to guard, you're going to need help.

Cool or not, I don't wanna get caught unarmed. I'm going in...

Gads it's like he's purposefully keeping secret which side of the river he's on! Fine fine, go get your sword in all your completely nude glory which we'll no doubt get a perfectly acceptable full-frontal picture of... see if I care...

...teehee

Wait. Before you do, tell them what's happening. If they run off, BAD STUFF.

...wait...

WHERE IS THE ROCK?!

>>118548
Off with the skirt too. Don't want that getting in the way of your swimming.

>>118562
Neither Kobolds nor Dragons have tits. We need more proof.

OFF WITH THE SKIRT YOUNG LADY.

Also how is the water's visibility and how are your swimming skills?

>>118563
BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE BORING. NOW GET IN THERE. JUST TELL THEM YOU LOST YOUR SWORD, DO NOT MENTION THE ROCK.

I'm still of the opinion that an artifact lost cannot be an artifact used for evil... but if they don't find it on the protectors, the moat would probably be the first place they'd look. Alright, time to go diving and hope you have good underwater vision.

>>118566
What if it's designed to be lost and found by those evil people that seek it?

You mean like the one ring? Wish for some breast some lady. If you drink enough milk you may get it someday.

Stupid sword, stupid shiny rock.

Deeper.

Male male male maleness.

That said, continue your search! This hardly needs to be said but I say it anyway!

...Definitely part kobold. You are fucking adorable.

Ahem. Anyways, yeah, go down deeper. Obviously the things we're looking for are gonna be on the bottom. :V

Don't do this now, but can you make superheated bubbles? And yeah, go deep.

You're such a girl, you girl.

It's not really deep, but I'd better find that crap before I drown myself.

Blue glow behind the rock to the upper-right-ish, probably our shiny.
