After Olaus leaves Carson bends down, picks up his sword, and laughs. "Did you see the look on his face when he thought he would have to go with us? Priceless. Don't worry Grel. I was never going to let him go with us but I thought it was the best way to scare him into going back home and staying out of trouble." At the gate, "This looks like the place. Should we try the back door or just go right on in?"
"Home? No. No. No. The boy needs to prove himself. He need to go with us. How will it look if he goes back without a story and a couple of trophies. Let's get him some weapons so that he can smite the evil that is investing this land. I am sure he has it in him." Carson pulls out his short sword and thrust its in the boys hands. "This sword has been in my family for generations. It has killed hundreds. It's name is Bloodletter. I have no heirs so I am giving it to you. Someday you will pass it on your son, along with stories of the glory that achieved. " He puts his arm the boy and presents him to the group. "Behold! Olaus, Evil Slayer!"
Carson asks the kid his name. When he answers Carson will continue. "Listen (insert name here). We have just spent the last week rescuing a bunch of kids your age. They had gotten way in over their heads. Some were even killed. Do you really want to stick with the lost cow story or are you going to tell us what you are really doing out here."
Carson leans in a little close and whispers "Well you seem to have found the team of Pathfinders. The dwarf there is Grel. He is our leader. Mostly because we just do what he says and it has worked for us so far. The big guy with the extraordinary number of hammers is Harada. Yes his self given nickname is Hammer. The creepy looking elf is Verathis. If you see a foot long scorpion running around don't kill it. It belongs to him and it really kind of cute."
Before the meeting. Carson jumps at the chance to go and visit the mayor. He still has feeling for her but she does not seem to notice him other than as a means of keeping her beloved town safe. When the invite comes to join her for a meeting all kinds of thougths run through his head but they are quickly dampered when he realizes that this is not a private invitation. Oh well, any time spent with her will be worth it. When he arrives at the mayors office he spots the newcomer and wonders where she came from. Sliding up to her he before the meeting starts he asks, "Hello, my name is Carson. Were you invited to this meeting also?" At the meeting he listen to the mayor and hangs on her every word. He agrees to head out to the manor and find the things that she has requested. Maybe this brave act will get her to notice him and begin to return his affection.
