Silindra moves back and grabs one of her potions from her bag. She quickly downs the whole thing and lightly tosses the bottle into some soft vegetation nearby so it doesn't break.

The horned girl then charged the goblin again and tries to stab it in the throat while making a mental note to sharpen the blade after she treated the chocobo after the fight.

{Tannis’s job changes!}

Tannis’s hands were being cleaned upon a green handkerchief, her hazel eyes focused upon the act. Tannis’s hazel gaze drifts towards the gnoll lady, her curved lips curling into a soft smile, “Perhaps we should have asked the commissioner for a larger pay. “ Tannis’s head nods softly, tucking the handkerchief back into her apparel. Tannis’s blade was slashed through the air, the blood flicking upon the ground, before she sheaths it, “I agree. Though, either way, we will have to cross through the forest. Or…” Tannis’s speckled white ears stretch upwards, “We can hold ourselves up in the monastery. It is south of here, and we would only have to move through the lower parts of the slums to find it.”

Mr. Lambert comes out of the shop, a large pack on his back, and in his hands, a sheathed sword and a crossbow. He looks between the two fighters, “If we are going to get out of here, I think I can afford to let a few special items loose. Here, catch!” The merchant’s arm pulls back and then lofts the sheathed blade to the gnoll lady, while he walks forward and hands the crossbow off to Tannis, “Think you can use this? It’s the last one in stock.”

Tannis’s hazel gaze drifts to the weapon, taking it in her hands and holding up, examining it, “I think I can find a use for it.”

When the horned girl jumps back, her dagger lay in the stomach of the goblin, and she was strangely unarmed. Not only was she unarmed, but the chocobo stepped in between the horned girl and the goblin, using its sharp beak to peck at the goblin’s face.

The goblin’s punch catches the chocobo in the cheek, the large bird recoiling, before pecking at the goblin’s eye, the goblin reeling back with its hand over its eye.

Ooc: Alrighty! If I read the skills available to a knight correctly I shall pour 200 into Parry/Weapon Guard. If I'm going to be frontlining I'd better invest in defences.

Vannah caught the sheathed blade in the air with one hand and whistle lightly. "Well. There's the larger pay right there" she murmured to herself, grinning with delight. She slid six inches of sword free from the scabbard and eyes the blade quality and the type. What kind of sword did she have here? Once she was satisfied she slid it home again and lashed it in place on her back beside her first one. No sense in throwing away a spare for now right? "Thanks chief" she said to Lambert with a grin. "I think I can manage this. Hehe." Well. She was on the run from the city (again) but hey. She had some companions and a nice new sword. "I'd prefer staying in the city for now" she murmured to Tannis, "So maybe the monastery would be for the best.

Silindra was irritated that dagger had gotten stuck in the Goblin and thought that she was in massive trouble. She was then very relieved and grateful when the chocobo came to defend her. She watched as the chocobo was punched, then watched as the chocobo counterattacked and got the Goblin's eye.

Silindra saw that the goblin was on it's very last legs and didn't want to watch the chocobo get hurt anymore. So rushed out from behind the chocobo, attempted to seize the stuck dagger and thrust it even deeper inside the goblin to finish it off.

The chocobo gives a startled, "Wark!" when the horned girl leaps in front of it. The goblin's beady eyes grow large as the girl takes the dagger out and stabs it back into its body, sending it keeling over onto its back with a dull thud. Its hat falls off and three items fall out of it, rolling upon the grass. Two of which were bottles, and they were labeled: "Antidote, Ether". The third item appeared to be a large leaf of echo grass.

Silindra slays Goblin R!

Silindra gains 30 job points!

{Very well, it shall be recorded. Vannah’s reaction skill is set to Weapon Guard. Vannah’s weapon evasion rate is doubled, and on every attack roll that shares a number with the target’s attack roll (rolling a 50 will block an opponent’s attack roll of 70, because the 0’s are in common)}

The blade was longer than her current sword, and by the looks of it, sharper and made of the same material as her broad sword. The blade’s handle was a dark leather, while the blade held a whiter sheen to it.

{Vannah obtains Long Sword! Evasion rate: 10 (20 for Vannah's Weapon Guard), Attack power: 5}

Mr. Lambert nods, “Better of you to hold onto it than me. It’s kinda heavy.” His lips crack a small smile, “You’re welcome. Good, I’ll leave it all up to you then.” Mr. Lambert’s grin soon fades into a more serious face, “We’ll have to get through the slums first. I’m not sure how many are out there, but I’ll leave it up to you two. Fight or run, just keep me safe and I’ll be fine.” His hands rise to tug on the large pack’s straps, making sure they were tight. “I hear they have warm beds, oh, and all of Dorter’s nice looking priests…” Mr. Lambert offers a chuckle.

Tannis’s hazel gaze drifts back to the two, her crossbow being motioned towards the slums, her curved lips curling into a show of white teeth, “After you, then. I will watch your back, very carefully~” Tannis’s left eye winks subtly at the gnoll lady.

The area about the shop was mostly a cluster of small shops, Mr. Lambert’s included. To the right, the direction that Tannis motioned towards, leads to larger buildings used for storage, and the thin alleyways that separate them. The gnoll would notice that there are at least four possible alleyways, the middle two being the most commonly traveled by Dorter citizens.

Silindra didn't bother to grab the items at first as her attention was solely on the chocobo. She quickly managed to locate some plants that chocobo found tasty and took out a potion. She smeared the bottles contents onto the plants. Then she slowly approached the chocobo while talking to it in a soothing voice. Then she attempted to entice the injured bird to eat it.

Only once the chocobo's injuries had been treated would she gather up the items and use another potion on herself. Then once she had recovered that and her belongings, she would look for a rock to sharpen her dagger with.

[Ooc: New weapon get!

Also, from August 3rd too August 11th I'll be away on vacation without internet. If need be I can be NPCed for the time so as to not break up the game flow ]


Vannah arched an eyebrow at the red head, tilting one of her ears forward. "Well just so long as you don't get lost back there" she snarked, flashing a grin at her. She flicked her gaze back to Mr. Lambert to make sure that he was ready and, with everything set she led the way taking her place at the front of their little group.

Following Tannis' directions around the cluster of shops, Vannah found herself among the warehouses where supplies and goods were stored. Considering the different alleyways quietly, she decided to take one of those less travelled, the one furthest to the left. Logically they would wish to avoid all the trouble out in Dorter, and keeping to the back alleys would make it safer for them than staying int he open.

{Very well. I do hope you enjoy your vacation~}

The chocobo's large bird-head follows the horned girl as she moves, its eyes blinking idly. Its head then turns inwards against its feathered side, dipping its beak under the large, yellow feathers to clean them. When the horned girl approached, the chocobo's head popped up and it looked down at the offered food...then decided to eat it, snatching it and drawing its head back, looking at the canopy of trees. Its head wobbles back and forth, eating the offered greens.

While the horned girl was looking for rocks, she would find only those that were wet, or, slimy in texture.

Silindra was pleased that the chocobo had accepted the potion laced greens. She smiled and then went to work finding a rock to sharpen her dagger.
~~~~~~~~~

Well it couldn't be said that she hadn't tried, but the thing was that all of the rocks she found for unsuitable for sharpening. She complained softly at her poor luck and then cleaned the dagger;s blade. Once the blade was clean, she put it away and then slowly approached the chocobo again. Once she got close enough to touch, she stated to speak soothingly and attempted to stroke it's back. If at any point the chocobo shied away from her, she would back up a bit and crouch to show that she was no threat.

Tannis’s hazel eyes idly rotate within her head, “Tis’ not as if I did not purchase a map.” Mr. Lambert’s head moves to put his gaze on Tannis, his eyebrows raised and his expression skeptical, “Recruits get maps?” Tannis’s curved lips curl into a soft smile, her shoulders rising in a shrugging fashion.

Mr. Lambert nods towards the gnoll lady, moving to keep pace behind her. His hands were upon the straps of his pack, his head casting upwards to glance at the still dark buildings.

Tannis’s form turns around, holding the crossbow in both of her hands, her rump swinging back and forth as she walks backwards.

The gnoll lady’s vision picked up stray forms, but the sounds of combat were very faint. However, she would soon see a figure, propped up against the alley wall. It seemed to be a male, and he didn’t look over at the approaching party members. There was another alley-way, straight across from the figure.

Vannah sensibly paused as the figure propped up against the wall came into view, eyeing it intently. After a few moments of waiting there for him (she thought it looked like a him) she glanced over her shoulder at Tannis and gestured at the figure, wanting her to be on her guard in case he turned out to be hostile There were three of them to one of him though, two of them openly armed. So he probably wouldnt be looking for a fight. Turning her attention back to the figure she cleared her throat and greeted him with a "Lovely night for a stroll isn't it?"

[Ooc: You all take care this week I'll be back on the 11th or thereabouts]

The chocobo stood tall, idly chewing its potion soaked greens. Its gaze was drawn towards the tree line, moving its beaked face about, to the left, and to the right. The chocobo's gaze snaps to the horned girl, its beak tilting upwards and the greens being swallowed down. The chocobo returned to watching the horned girl approach it, simply blinking idly at her. When the horned girl reaches out to touch the chocobo's rough edged, but otherwise soft feathers, the chocobo takes a step back, "Wark wark?" Then the horned girl crouched and the chocobo took the opportunity to get a running start and jump over her form, racing into the cover of the trees and vanishing further into the woods.

Mr. Lambert reaches out and touches the gnoll lady's shoulder gently, his expression a sorrowed frown. "I don't think he' s out here for a walk. Look." With the same hand, he points towards the sword handle that was sticking out of the figure's chest cavity. The figure's expression was one of wrinkled agony, blood, that was long since dried, sticking to his face. The figure was tall, and thin, with thin fingers. Mr. Lambert motions for them to continue, Tannis also casting a glance towards the corpse, "Must be a merchant of the lower caste. Poor fellow." Mr. Lambert nudges the gnoll lady, "Best we leave him; those that mugged him can still be around."

And so the three persons weave their way through the alleyways of Dorter, finally arriving into the docking area for small, trade vessels to their right, the church within their sight.

Silindra was disappointed to see that the chocobo had ran off, but was still pleased to have help it. She gathered up her belongings and continued walking hoping that she wouldn't encounter any more trouble along the way as she had used up two of her three potions already and her dagger was still dull. She would really need to find a decent stone for sharpening it with.

[Btw did I get bad rolls during that battle with find item or were those items I found from the result of it?]

{Those were the result of.}

The large trees became more sparse, the ground more damp, as the horned girl walked on. The sound of rushing water, and lots of it, steadily grew louder a faint source of daylight breaking through the tree canopy, casting its light upon the pits of water along the forest floor.

As the tree line gave way, the horned girl would find herself on one side of a bridge, spanning the distance over a still river. To her right, the sloping ground wound itself to the river's edge, while the left hosted a natural cliff edge, with large, imbedded rocks and grass. The rushing water was part of the cliff edge, creating a waterfall that held many out-jutting rocks.

On the other side of the bridge, several knights wearing red capes with black symbols on them, attended to their tents, packing them up. One knight was a heavily armored female with long, blonde hair. She looked between the knights, hand upon her sword, and her face set in a stern expression.

[Dang it, I KNEW I was forgetting something.]

Silindra was pleased to see that she had made it through the forest without any more battles. She looked across the bridge to see a bunch of knights and gave them a quick once over to see if they were the knight that she had sworn vengeance on. However these knights didn't match the one's from her memories which was likely a good thing since she wasn't very strong yet.

With that quick examination concluded, she turned her attention to her lamp and put out the flame since she no longer needed it. Then she calmly crossed the bridge and asked the knights a single question. "If it isn't too much trouble, could one of you tell which direction that the Volcano Glug lies in?" She was careful to make sure that her tone was polite and respectful so that they would be more likely to asnwer her question.
