"The adventurers are HEEEREEE!" A youthful town crier yelled.
...
St. Augustina's Trading outpost. Once a small merchant stop became a large hub of merchantile activity in its short 6 year life. Only 3 days journey upstream of Miyr, the outpost's wealth has much to do with the flow of foreign merchants who stop to restock and resupply.
However, for the past month, people have found sticky green collageneous goo streaked across the countryside. All attempts to have it identified by mages and druids have been completely unsucessful. Recently, sightings of gelatinous creatures with colourful armor have also been reported. Even more recently, is their seemingly relentless assault on all caravan carrying alchemical supplies. Although there has been no casualties, several people were maimed, and thousands of chips have been lost. Any attempt at retribution is usually repelled, as many other such creatures usually spring out to replace their fallen comrades. Soon, the mysterious creatures' discretion was lost, and everything was a target...
Now, with the goo so thick that caravans get stuck and the creatures now targeting boats, people have stopped using the paths, and opt for more safer routes. St. Augustina's, suffered greatly from this, and is only a shell of a city it once was. Wishing the rivers to flow with 'foreign golds' like they used to, the dieing town pooled its last remaining chips and went to hire two adventurers. The purpose, twin-fold. For 700 chips, remove the hated creatures from the area and find a 'alchemical crystal' lost by a Miyr potion-mixer and philanthropist; who, would also offer some basic training if they could find it in mint condition. ((This is my test dungeon for Nuku and Vincent. Post your stats with the item effects added as usual, and lets go! It's hammer time!))

Vincent, followed closely by team Nuku, walked proudly into the town of St. Augustina. Waving to the people of the small town he shifted his glasses to cover his milky-white eyes and adjusted the sword and greataxe on his back by shifting his shoulders. The walk had been a long one, and chancing nothing he had decided to wear his tunic and armor as protection against these creatures...No creatures had been found along the way, just the nasty piles of goo that had often caused them to change paths. Still, needless to say, he was tired. But Nuku, Elain, Blaze, Lance and himself were now the these people's only hope, and he would show nothing but strength and determination...if only to give them a sense of hope that he knew was fast deminishing.
((I'll post my stats after the issue with "Here There Be Dragons" is resolved, since I need my stats finalized after that. By the way, good intro.))

Vincent listens (something he is quite used to) in silence as Elaine gives Nuku her short speach before speaking over his shoulder at her. "You seem very angry, Elaine. You sound like you need a hug." Vincent smiles coyishly, "I'm sure Nuku would love to give you one and make you happy..." Vincent chuckles to himself, wondering if Nuku would actually dare to do so. And of course Elaine's projected reaction to said hug...

As the news of the your arrival spread throughout the city, people flocked to the sides of the streets to welcome you. Soon, the quiet gathering of people turned into a pressing mob of men, women, and children reaching out towards their 'saviours' for purposes of their own.
If not for the timely intervention by the town guards, you would be swarmed by people asking for help. By the looks of it, there were not many guards left; mostly the old and inexperienced.
All of a sudden, the crowd backs away; most of the left-over guards quickly ran back to their look-out posts, while some stayed for furthur assistance if nescsicary.
Out from the back of the pressing mobs, walked three gentlemen of different size and stature. In front of them, walked a particularily plump and short fellow wearing expensive ((Although dirty)) robes, golden hoop earings, and a crooked toupee on his fully shaven head. Bowing to the adventurers, he walked over with grace and dignity...
"Oh thank the gods! You have come!!!" he knelt by the closest on of your group; Elaine, and began to kiss the ground.
"We are in dire need of help! The grain storage is dwindling and our farms are not enough to support the population! We have been rationing food for months! We cannot get wagons through the filth and creatures! AND I HAVEN'T HAD CHOCOLATE IN MONTHS! OH PLEA-!"
He was cut off by the sound of a particularly pretty young lady slapping Lance hard after realizing his 'defensive positioning'.

Elaine looked quite pleased to see the man kissing the ground at her feet. She was really enjoying herself right up to the point when Nuku pounced her from behind. heart
Nuku: While on the ground arms wrapped around Elaine “There’s no need to be this way. Please stand up, we are just happy we can help! blaugh Isn’t that right, err….” Looking down at Elaine she sees the eyes of someone that may very well commit homicide. “…Vincent?” sweatdrop
Elaine while squirming around on the ground and struggling with Nuku “Get off me you devil of a cat girl!” scream
Lance: having been rejected once again takes the unique opportunity to run in front of the man and enjoy a little groveling. twisted
Blaze: continues his search for someone to play with, if all else fails there always his favorite playmate, Lance. whee

Vincent looks over to the sound of the slap and sighs, "Yep...saw that coming." Vincent then walks over to the plump old man and kneels down, talking quietly so that none but him can hear, "Please, try to regain some dignity. We understand your situation, that is why we are here in the first place. Now please stand..." Vincent then reaches behind himself and into his traveling pack. He pulls out a small, flat bar of some kind and discretely puts it into the man's robes. "Save it for later. You pull that chocolate out in front of anyone and we're both going to get mobbed again..." Vincent smiles warmly and stands, speaking more directly now. "So tell me...what all do you know of the creatures that have been plaguing the countryside?" Vincent turns back to Nuku and Elaine and notices the all-too-familiar look on Elaine's face, "And Nuku...you may want to get off her...like now."

((To Blaze)) A group of small children see your search and one of them passes you a leather ball.
The merchant leader looked up at the adventurers. Taking Vincent's gift, he stood up and dusted himself off. "Do they always do this?" He looked at Nuku and Elaine before getting on to the point. "These creatures are not of this region. We have never seen, nor heard of these foul beasts until now. What we can tell you is that they seem to work in large groups, and follow members of their groups we call 'Overwatches'. They can still function without them, but killing the overwatch makes it easier." He took a deep breadth to calm down; the mob of people shook their heads at how feeble their leader has become.
"If you haven't gussed, I am Arundan, the head of St. Augustina's city board. Me, Pascal, Wey, and DuVerrac lead the city. And like I told you, it is impossible to send anything more that a few people down downstream at once. It was hazardous getting those letters to you; we lost one runner, and another almost had his arm chewed off by these vile things." Arundan fiddled with his toupee, but failed to straighten it out. "They have no eyes, ears, nose, mouth..." He started to ramble about how these things were so alien, and how they seemed to gather east of the town.

Vincent thinks to himself, wondering about the reports of the meteor near the mountains east of Miyr. Thinking the little gelatinous pools should have been wiped out by Raven's group he sets the thought aside. Something else should be causing it. And if he was right then there was going to be a lot more gooey patches around this city before he was done. "Sir, you realy must calm down." Vincent said after little while, "Tell me what direction these creatures are coming from, or any information on where they may be now. The closer you can get us the better."

((By the way, looking at Gerbo's map, imagine/add this: You are south of Miyr, there are plenty of tributaries and some forested areas. The town and forest itself, is west of Fury's private training grounds... However, it is a long ways walk. Gerbo's house would be too far to reach through the thick forests.)) "We don't know much about them. They just poped up in this region. No tracks, no migration signs, nothing..." He said. "I can say this though: If you don't kill one, don't hesitate to. They can re-attatch their limbs... It's creepy." He shook his head
The man on the left behind Arundan, probably Pascal, stepped forward. He was an old man; a crooked back, yellow eyes, and hawk-like features made him stand out from the other board members. "I rememver zis story of ze druid ordar'z enclave on ze uddar side of ze riva." The senior pointed east.
"Don't you remember febble old man? They left long ago; there outpost is right in the middle of the creature's encampent anyways." Wey spoke, the strain of the incident gouging the deep wrinkles on his middle-aged face. "Nobody's been there for years."
This time DuVerrac spoke up. "How do you know you?" She looked at him with distrust. "Mabye your responsible for those thefts at the granaries! I saw you sneak out of your house with a burlap sack with who-knows-what!" The woman in her early fourties pointed an acusing finger at Wey. "I remember what you said-."
"Vanessa! Earl! Please!." he tried to stop their argueing but failed. Ignoring them, he turned back to you and Nuku's little group. "If you wish to try the out the outpost, I have no qualms. I'll send several of the guards with you." He looked at the sky, before looking at the people; his people, his responsibility. "It looks like a chilly night, will you stay? It will take you to nightfall to reach the enclave anyways, and that might not be safe. We have some food to spare."

"Well then..." Vincent said, trying to talk above the aruging councilmen/woman. He reached his limit rather quickly, "SILENCE!" Vincent bellowed, "*sigh* I apologize, but working together is the only way that we will be able to solve this problem. Fighting and accusing each other is no way to solve your problem." Vincent bowed in apology for his outburst, but went on anyway, "Your offer of food and shelter is appreciated. We have our own food to supply us through the night, given the strain on your people I wouldn't think it too polite to take your food. The shelter, however, would be more than exceptable. And the guards you are sending with us. Leave us with only who you can spare. The more experienced the better, but don't leave your town guarded by rookies either." Looking around to make sure he didn't miss anything he finally shook his head in contentment, "Please, lead the way, Counceler."

Arundan leads you through the streets; people and their children look upon you and your group with hope.
After about two minutes, you come to the front porch of a brick building with a sign on the side which read: The Gilded Flagon. Upon entrance, Arundan starts to bargain a deal with the inn proprieter to get two rooms; one with extra beds, for Nuku's group.
The building is cozy, although some dust is on the surfaces of the mahogany tables and the silver railing of the stairs. It had a bar in front, and you see what seemed to be a small vegetable garden through a back window of the corridor next the the stairs. There seemed to be no staff beside the inn's owner, as nobody traversed this route in months and the only customers where the few left who could afford to spend their money on the inflated wine.
((Any words before Arundan buys the rooms, and you retire for the day to begin the first part of the quest?))

((Nope, well...maybe a few. mrgreen ))
After Arudan buys the room Vincent takes his key and silently heads up the stairs. Reaching his room with relative ease he enters the cozy (to his standards at least) room. Vincent locks the door behind himself, removes his combersome armor and falls into bed without so much as a passing glance at the actual contents of the room. It only takes a few moments before sleep overcomes him and he passes on into the world of dreams...
((Ah...my rp fix for the moment. Unless you had something else in mind? confused ))
