***** Astron 18, 480, Crossroads
Taryn found a letter and package on the table in her room upon waking, the package contained several smoke bombs, and the letter was from Ralliakkan telling her that her services were desired by the military.
KlikKlik was greeted by Gabtar this morning and given a gift from Kibbik. Gabtar told her that they appreciated her military service, and hoped she would continue assisting them.
Xara was walking toward the market when Maggie came skipping up to her, said "you're weird, I like you," and handed her some potions.
I was greeted by Kelani this morning, the druid thanked me for my assistance in the military and handed me a couple of very useful potions. I wasn't expecting that.
We all got together after breakfast and talked about our options. Taryn was very set against working for the military, even though it sounded like Gabtar didn't want us on the front lines. She said there were bounties we could go after, which would allow us to do some good in this world, without actually joining the military. Since the others agreed, I figured I may as well go too. Eilistraee placed me with them for a reason, so this must be the path she wishes me to follow.
We were going to hit Deadwood first, but we decided to hit up the arenas one more time before leaving. Today we hit the Hunter's Arena, instead of the Gladiator's Arena. I had to hunt down and kill four dire wolves, it wasn't easy at first, but I managed it. Taryn had to fight four giant spiders- which was just mean, putting a Lolthite up against the creature that's sacrilege to kill. I chuckled to myself as she dropped them, wondering what Lolth would do to her for this. KlikKlik had to fight four vultures, and she took them out quickly. Xara's fight was the most peculiar. She was fighting four giant toads, and got swallowed by one... she managed to bust out of it, but for a few seconds I wondered if she'd die in the belly of the toad.
Once we were done with our fights, we geared up Stormageddon Mach II and headed to Deadwood to look for some bounties. I settled down to take a reverie while we traveled.
After a couple of hours, Taryn noticed some shadows up ahead, and shot at one of them. About twenty bandits emerged from the woods and came toward the group. I woke up to Xara shaking me awake, telling me there were bandits in our path. As I oriented myself to figure out where I needed to be, I heard the familiar boom of KlikKlik's gun, and watched twelve of the bandits fall. The kobold yelled she'd show them mercy if they left. Before they had a chance though, I dropped a fireball on the ones still standing, making sure I wouldn't hit any that were already down- we didn't want to kill them. A couple of them dodged my fireball, so Xara shot one, and Taryn made Stormageddon Mach II charge them. We spent the next two hours rigging up a couple of nets to carry our fourteen prisoners to Deadwood with us so we could turn them in. We only killed one of the bandits, and a couple of them managed to escape us.
When we got to Deadwood Taryn asked for the best room available, and we were greeted to a group of whores waiting in the room. She didn't want them, but Xara did, so she hurried out after them, asking if I wanted to join. I thought it sounded like fun, so we got our own room and grabbed two whores each. We had a quite the fun, wild night. And damn, Xara is good. I may have to do that again soon...
***** Astron 19, Deadwood
Xara asked me to teach her how to brew potions, so we spent the first couple hours of the day getting the ingredients. I didn't do a good job of teaching her, her tits were a bit distracting, and I burned the potion. Failing at that venture, we joined Taryn and KlikKlik in the casino for the rest of the day.
That night Taryn decided to buy a couple large kegs of alcohol to take to the front lines and sell to the soldiers. As she was purchasing that, she and KlikKlik heard Xara and I say we were going to pick up four more whores for another orgy, and she decided to follow us. Somehow KlikKlik and Taryn came up with the idea of creating a mobile whore house to take to the front lines... I'm honestly not sure how this happened. Apparently this is going to be a front to get us near the high profile targets, but it's a fucking weird one.
I went to have my fun, and hoped this idea would be gone when I got up in the morning.
***** Astron 20, Deadwood
It wasn't. The others were all gung ho for this stupid mobile whore house still. They decided we should head back to Crossroads to see if we could purchase some of the land boats for the whores to live in.
On the way there, a single bandit popped out from behind a rock, took a shot at us, missed, and bolted. We decided he wasn't worth going after.
When we got back to Crossroads, KlikKlik and Taryn went to talk to Kibbik and Ralliakkan about bankrolling this stupid idea, and Xara contacted her circus. She thought that we might be able to get some large tents from the circus for the whores, and potentially a couple of the land boats.
Kibbik would bankroll us for 15% of the profits- part of the 15% was purchasing brooms of flying for all of us; he would also be giving us three paladins to help protect the whores. Ralliakkan would also be taking a 15% cut, and she gave Taryn a writ to allow us to order things.
We then set out to find Xara's circus, and ended up spending the night in the North Shire.
***** Astron 21, Xara's Circus
We reached the circus in the early evening and were well received. Through negotiations we were able to get a second elephant, tents, a couple carts, and some drugs. We also hired a few of the carnies, some guards, dancers, and game hustlers, along with a kid who couple handle the elephants and his mom.
***** Astron 23, North Shire
We set out in the morning for Crossroads, but Taryn decided to stop in North Shire to purchase some shire leaf and mead. She made the mistake of asking who makes the best of each, and we had to listen to every halfling in the tavern argue over whose product was actually the best. When we were finally done there, it was too late for us to reach Crossroads by nightfall, so we stopped in Brookwood for the night.
***** Astron 25, Crossroads
It took forever for us to get back to Crossroads with so many people, but eventually we made it. I hit the arena that night to blow off some steam.
