This was the last time, Robert told himself. He'd fought to keep her away from the illness and danger of questing in the wilds, but she'd fought back, giving him much to chew over. Now, he couldn't see himself questing without her, which was good, because if one of them didn't get dysentery, the other usually did. It was a careful system of checks and balances that still usually ended in failure, but at least it did not end in failing alone. And that was worth the effort, and the fear he felt every time she saddled up.
But they'd both survived, even through the pain and illness and near death experiences. And they were riding together towards that distant summit, headed for their last glorious piece of armor, which would turn them into true heroes once they put them all on.
He was obviously excited, by the way he rode Galaxy a little harder, heading forward a little faster, and grinning a little wider with each passing second.

These quests had begun to wear on her, in spite of the company - they were not a cause that she found it easy to support, not for a purpose that she found any real value in. Allowing Robert to set out without her was not something that she would concede to, however, so she pushed onward in spite of it. There had to be something more that was out there. There had to be other things to seek. She found herself wondering more and more about things that were not quite so physical, things that were more relevant to why than to what.

The first hurdle in their way was not only a rabid wolf, but a trio of them. They came in a pack, trying to surround him and spook the horse with their growls and snaps. They were succeeding, until he dismounted and pulled out his sword. The attacks were swift, and they came at him all together, but his sword found each of their hearts in turn, even if they took a little bit of him in the process. He came back a little bloodied, but no less excited to see their adventure continue. He cleaned the blood off of his sword with his pants, first on one side, and then on the other, before sheathing it behind his back. Then he mounted Galaxy, and settled back in. Wolves would not slow him. Nothing would slow him, this time around! Step One Quote: Rolling a 2: You encounter a wild *animal here* that is extremely rabid and ferocious.

Either Robert remained as eager to do the task that he'd accepted as he ever had, or he was very good at pretending. She celebrated his successes and cheered when he defeated the creatures that sought to destroy them, but made little effort to participate past what was most efficient. There was no flourish, no overachievement. She would get the job done, and that was all. Nothing more, nothing less. That gave her the same right as everyone else was afforded, and she could handle herself from there. QUEST STATUS Food remaining: 50 YOUR HP: 30 - 10 = 20 Quote: Rolling a 2: You encounter a wild *animal here* that is extremely rabid and ferocious. It blocks the path and attacks you! You take -10 damage!

Just as he should have expected, Galaxy was not pleased with his performance and had already been spooked by the wolves from before. He was knocked off of her back, and she galloped off to go have some alone time with her horse self. She was as fickle as ever, and nothing was ever going to change that. So he got up off of the ground, picked up what food was left, and trudged off on foot beside Mildred and her horse. He was still excited, but for a few minutes he managed to look grumpy over having such a jerk for a mount. The unhappiness did not last.

The misfortune of those before them had become their fortune quite often now, though she had begun to find herself skeptical of things so easily won. She collected the food that they had both gathered, careful to place it in a separate pouch. There was still no clear indication of what brought forth the illness, and she would rather not take risks unless it was absolutely necessary. QUEST STATUS Food remaining: 45 YOUR HP: 20 Quote: Rolling a 2: Someone seems to have left food on the road for you! How nice! +10 food.

Why did Galaxy have to decide to be alone, this time, of all times? He had been adamant of walking on his own, once she'd left. He could do this. He was no weakling. He would be patient and tread on foot until Galaxy returned. And that would have been fine, if a giant fire monster had not come crashing through the brush to rush headfirst for him. He threw the bag of food he was holding right over his shoulder, and bolted as quickly as possible. His goals were to get away, and survive, but also to chase the thing away from Mildred so she did not have to be hurt by it. He achieved both of his goals, even if it meant an exhausting heart-pounding run until he could finally lose the damn thing. Step Three Quote: Rolling a 4: You hear a horrific roaring noise and when you look behind you you see a terrifying beast made of fire chasing you! In your horror you lose half the remaining caravan food. QUEST STATUS Food remaining: 25 YOUR HP: 20

It seemed at first that Robert had run for no reason at all, which easily earned a little laugh; but when Moon was startled by the same fire-covered creature that he had been, and lurched forward without her, the situation wasn't quite so funny.
