Local Tribeleader Matzel Khaa sat steadily upon his horse. He and Gwendolyn had prepared for an easy journey across the Sunshade Glade for a few days now, and they were finally ready to depart. He was a paranoid man, having hired Gwendolyn for her service in the Couriers and had even hired on another, seperate adventurer to stop HER if she tried to betray him. She shrugged her shoulders though, a jobs a job. And as long as this guy didn’t order this mystery adventurer to betray HER then it would be simply enough. The society down in Kings Valley thrived on conflict, so the real secret threat that Matzel was truly worried about was his own men. “Speak now, where is the new hire” “I dunno, you were the one who hired them. Did you tell them where and when to meet us, perchance?” “Perchance, psh” Matzel said in an almost mocking tone. But in the back of his mind….had he told them the information about their journey? It was meant to be rather simple, just travelling from his home villiage here to one a few kilometers down the road. The reason he had outside hires is that Tribal diplomacy was a delicate matter, and bringing a few of your own warriors on a peaceful mission sent the wrong message. Quest Name: Royal Escort Participants: Two or more Location: Anywhere Post Requirements: 4 post per person, 200 words per post Reward: +1 Renown Description: A local noble is in need of an escort from one city to the next. With the world getting crazy, all kinds of dangers have become more common on the open road. They are willing to pay good money to anyone who can transport them to their destination. But be careful, their fears are valid, for bandits, wolves, and all kinds of creatures of the wild lurk right around the bend. All you need to do is make sure they get from their home city to the neighboring city alive, and unharmed if you can manage.

Javal was currently sprinting as fast as he could trying to keep up with Asleipmir his black horse. They were running late he was supposed to meet up with his employer Matzel Khaa before he departed with another adventurer. He took too long dancing in the street and Nadia and Bootsamon were busy getting food. Once Nadia realized that they messed up, they were all on their way to rush and meet up with Matzel and the other Adventurer. Nadia and Bootsamon were riding atop Asleipmir who was galloping as fast as he could while Javal being the stubborn Tiefling that he is was trying to beat Asleipmir in making it to their goal. They all ran as fast as they could and after eventually making it a couple of hours with no breaks they managed to see two figures in the distance. Once he saw this Javal sprinted as fast as he possibly could, but Aslepimir saw his master and did the same soon they both arrived in front of the figures, one he recognized as Matzel and the other one he did not recognize but was sure this was "Gwendolyn" the other adventurer Matzel told him he would be watching. Javal's party stood there and made their introductions. Javal stood his party panting hard trying to catch his breath. After about a minute he stood up straight and said "Hello there Matzel" bowing at the noble, and then turned to the new adventurer "Hello there, I don't believe we've met, My name is Javal Zarrias, president of Drakon Security Company, would you like to be my friend?"

She gave a bow, short and courteous so as not to be rude, but then went ahead and did it anyway. “A pleasure, you may refer to me as Lady Gwendolyn. And no, I count very few among my friends, my apologies. Shall we be off then, sir?”
“Ha! Lighten up sourpuss. Javal, thanks for coming on such short notice. Let us be off, they'll be expecting us by Sundown.” He said, kicking at the flanks of his horse to get it moving. She gave a slight pout at being called a sourpuss, but a job was a job. Better to chew him out after the journey than risk a failure. The road there was quite honestly a pleasant journey, forests of amber and crimson lined their path with beautiful foliage. Gwendolyn herself was saddled on a rather large horned reindeer, one covered in blue wrappings and baubles. It snorted, sniffing at all the new smells that now accompanied them. Calling out from the right side of the group, she addressed the Tiefling in the room. “What took you so long anyway, Javal. Polishing your horns take a bit longer than usual last night?”

“Your welcome friend Maatzel” Javal said he then heard what Lady Gwendolyn said and was a bit disappointed but decided he would work to earn her friendship by showing her how useful he could be. He saddled Bootsamon and Nadia on Asleipmir and prepared to start sprinting alongside the group. They started their journey with Maatzel on his horse, Gwendolyn on her reindeer, his friends on Asleipmir, and Javal on foot. The group was making a decent distance in silence before Gwendolyn asked Javal what he was doing before. Javal responded “No I polish my horns every other day, I’m glad you noticed. I was too distracted dancing and talking with the people, and lost track of time”. They continued walking with Javal awkwardly trying to spark up conversation with Maatzel and Gwendolyn, questions like “how is it like being a noble”, “how’d you get this reindeer follow”, and “if you fight sand is it strong or weak”? This continued for about the next couple of hours. Eventually nightfall came, and it grew time for the party to rest up until morning. “Hey guys I can get us set up somewhere to sleep for the night” (*)Javal said as he raised his hands in the air and waved them around, summoning sand and rocks to zoom around and building on top of each other. Until he made a beautiful sand house with three rooms. “Lady Gwendolyn you and Lord Maatzel can take your own separate rooms while me, Nadia, and Bootsamon will share one”.

“Hmm, thank you kindly.” Her enthusiasm was slightly tampered by the fact that she hadn’t brought any of her servants along with her. That meant actually taking care of herself for the night. On top of that, the entire place was made of sand. Politeness could only go so far, but she sucked it up and graciously retreated to her area. Midway through the night, a short crack of a treebranch woke her from her sleep. The horses outside seemed riled up, so she slipped on her breastplate to go check it out. “Javal, Javal” She said, knocking on the makeshift doorway that lead to her accomplices room. “Somethings outside, get dressed” She summoned her maul, a massive steel contraption with a hollow head full of spices and incense. Taking a peek outside, a few shadows crept about where the animals had been tied for the night. Bursting the door open, she lit the maul to cast light on two would-be thieves. One already half mounted on the chieftans horse, and the other working on loosening the reins on Javals mount. “Hey! Stop where you are!”

Javal was dreaming about swimming and eating in a desert before he was awoken by a knocking at his door. He sprinted to the door thankfully he was fully clothed and slept in his same clothes. What’s going on javal whispered once Gwendolyn filled Him in and they caught the thieves in the act he saw them trying to get away with the two horses. Javal started laughing holding his katana at them unsheathed. As soon as the villain tried to mount him Asleipmirs black mane burst into fire burning the villain and knocking him. Javal called Aslepmir his black horse and his bright red eyes to standy. He point his fingers in the air and the other would be thief was surrounding by a *ice storm flinging snowballs. The thief was bombarded and fell off the horse. Javal walked over to the thieves and knocked them burned thief out with a swift punch to the back of the head. He held the snow covered in place making sure he couldn’t escape. “Gwendolyn let’s interrogate this guy, I’ll be good guard you be bad guard”. Javal passed the villain over to Gwendolyn to hold and said “Tell me everything you now please” the thief spit at Javals feet “as if I’d let you rat catchers know anything”. “Fine” Javal said now holding thief “Gwendolyn your turn”.

Bad guard. It was the first time she smiled whilst she waited for Javal to finish his part of the interrogation. He walked out, seemingly unsuccessful, as she passed him to get to the now prisoner. She cracked her knuckles as the man states “Do your worst” “Ok” She reaches for his stubbled throat as she slides on her cotton gloves. Grasping, and lifting, she once more reiterates. “Tell me everything you know”
“I know you’re a bitch” “You have twenty seconds until I crush your windpipe”
“It’d be a blessing, couldn’t smell your breath anymore” Why in the hells were these king’s valley bandits so damn tough to crack. As far as they knew, they were simple horse thieves. So either they were the hardest horse thieves in all of the valley, or they were there for a reason. She let the man drop to the floor, as she paced idly back towards the door and out the room. “Your turn” She said to Javal. “It’s gotta be something about the horses, these arent ordinary theives. Maybe something about the chief?”

After walking out and waiting for Gwendolyn’s turn, all Javal could hear were obscenities and loud noises they liked that matched the average day on the Black Dragon Pirate Crew. As Gwendolyn walked out and he saw no progress was made he decided the best thing to do was to use “it”, his amazing sense of charisma, his mom said that was Javal’s secret to getting anything he’d liked. “Hello, Mister Thief, I don’t know who you are or what your life story is but I’m Javal and I've been hired to protect Sir Maatzel I think you should tell me what’s going on or it would suck for me. I’m willing to set you guys free so long as you tell me the truth and leave this place”, Javal ended it with a genuine gentle smile. “Fine, Fine, I prefer your approach than that terrible woman from before, Me and my associate on the ground were hired by Maatzel’s son and brother to either find his horse and stage an assassination or assassinate the Noble. That’s all I know. Can you please let me and my brother go? I swear you’ll never see me again and we’ll both live honest lives from now on”. Javal was needless to say pleased that this didn’t have to get ugly he was even going to try out funny faces to make them laugh. Eventually, he let them go, and he, Gwendolyn, and Maatzel made it to King’s Valley safely and securely. He and Gwendolyn got paid and bid each other farewell, although Javal was saddened he didn’t make a new friend today. He was glad he was able to meet Gwendolyn.
