See you on monday morning!
Silas here. Playing with my table group today but will try to pm equipment.
Sarah is ready
Randrashar reporting!
General shares the following information with the group. The people transporting the goods are local bandits, possibly Wolves. They will be passing through the forest, a 1 day trip away, in about... 1 day. Little is known about their defences. The Blaze unit is to draw the guards out to the front of the transport, with the help of the Fire unit, while the Inferno unit is to sneak in and secure the goods.
"Are we going to fight stuff now? Like Knights against bandits?" Billy asks Silas.
He leaves Silas to answer that Billy's question, instead looks to the others and mutters Sent to kill people we don't know, who are guarding something we know nothing of save being called "goods." he looks to Randrashar Well, leader of ours, any suggestions before we head out... hopefully with some camping gear and such.
Sarah looks at Billy and grins " yup, we will kick assume, take names and maybe set something on fire. It will be glorious and messy, so don't bring anything you would mind the bloodstains on.
"Well, to properly come up with a distraction I'd need a map for some planning. General, do you have anything that might resemble that?
"Dunno who ya pissed-off, Randrashar Sir, but you, us two hicks, and a couple kids is who they stuck ya with."
"Are we gonna fight bandits now mister Sir?" Billy seems excited, which causes the temperature around him to rise slightly.
After a day trip through the woods, you come to a nice clearing. Officer Lay Z, who is guiding you, suggests you pitch your tents and camp until the morning.
Billy will generally follow Silas around the camp until told to do something, asking excited questions and occasionally raising the temperature around him to slightly higher than tolerable.
Winst is quite used to setting up camp. Being sent to pick up supplies from the next town over at a young age was the norm, so he starts gathering wood, getting tents set up, and digging a pit for waste. All the fun stuff. Once the fire is ready to be lite, he calls out Hey kid- I mean Billy- can you do things other than make things hot? gesturing to the pile of wood.
Winst is thinking they should all get to know somewhat what the others are capable of.
"What do you mean make things hot?"
Hmmm... Winst considers, sharing a look with Silas Well, Billy things get a little warm around you when your emotions get stirred up. Figured it meant you had some special in you and such. Maybe not though. Don't worry about fire, I can manage. he takes out some flint and steel(assuming we got some with the tents) and gets to work.
he giggles and says "That's not me, silly. That's just Mister Fire."
Ahh... he manages as he works on the fire Who exactly is Mister Fire, if you don't mind me asking and all
"He's my friend. He likes to eat stuff, and keep me warm at night. My mommy and daddy didn't like him much, so he kept eating their stuff to teach them to be nice. If I ask him nicely, he will help us beat the bandits."
"When didja first meet Mr. Fire?"
"Mr. Fire has always been nearby."
Once the camp is set up, Lay Z. starts preparing a dinner. While working, a man dressed in officer garb quite like Lay Z. runs into the camp yelling The Wolves are coming!
He is followed by a horde of cloaked bandits brandishing various blades and yelling battle cries.
Everyone in this unit will act on Randrashar's initiative, block posting rules are a go. Map is under construction.
Ah, the wolves Winst grumbles, strapping on his shield and hefting his hammer. Imagine. Let a bunch of bandits in to be used as practice dummies and suddenly they know our movements well enough to ambush us. Strange that he says sarcastically. The big man moves to the front, unless their leader tells him otherwise.
"Mister Sir, what do you want me to do?" asks Billy, a bit confused.
We've got to fight Billy. Either that or die. If Mr. Fire wants to help, great. Otherwise stay behind me or Silas. for this Winst does not wait for Rands orders.
"Alright, here is the plan. Billy, I need as much fire as you can muster. Silas, make sure Billy is safe. Get to one side of them. Sarah, get around to the other side and do...whatever it is you so. Winst, with me. We're going to get them head on. Blaze unit, let's go!"
"You get to be the hero today, Mister Fire!" says Billy excitedly as the group moves forward.
"Yessir. You're aware ...nobody gave me no equipment, right? Cain't we try a con? We're s'posed ta distract, right? Gotta be a way of doin such without endangerin these kids ..."
