'that's good.' Zeiss said relieved while walking next to Wylie's horse. 'It'd be quite a pain if we just suddenly STOPPED killing things all of the sudden.'

OoC: Yeah...I officially can't handle two characters like I used to at this moment in time...I was having a very bad end of year, and appearently a bad begining to this year...so...much...work...
BiC: "Quite so Sir Wylie." He started riding on the new horse, and Alcibie was right: the mare was rather calm, and easy to control, but lets just pray it didn't frighten in battle again, as that wouldn't be good. He strapped the shield to his back, as it would be hard to ride carrying it, as he watched Wylie eat the bread in the basket, and couldn't help but shake his head: He could probably make some fresh bread and muffins or something when they reached Santaruz, assuming nothing bad happened and the bakers there wern't a pain,"So tell me, what were doing before you joined Crowley's Heros?" he had asked generally everybody, but he knew some of them, such as Persephone's and Alcibie's, and he could easily guess Usha's...obviously random violence...

Zeiss for once, snapped. He had been glad that Wylie and Crowley decided to come clean but these people were so dense. 'I am not Crowley's subordinate. GOD, I thought you were paying attention.'

Alcibie felt herself sigh before she even began to comprehend what was said.
“I think Rayl listened, but is just a boy from a small town. He knows legends. Facts do not sit well with him. Basically as I see it, his…” Alcibie said with a glare over her shoulder to Rayl. “Crowley the Magnificent basically was at the wrong place at the right time. It actually sounds like Zeiss is the highest up the food chain in our little party and Wylie is the brains. Well maybe not the brains but the back bone at least. Now these three,” Alcibie pointed to the three original travelers. “…Are going to meet up with the people who have been slaying these undead warriors. Once, they pick up some reward money. Basically we do not know the facts of their past. What we know is there are legendary warriors working for a bandit who defied the laws of nature to bring them back to life. We are traveling to Santaruz where personally I might leave I have no intention of dying any time soon. If we stay together we are going to travel to go and kill the remaining warriors. Personally, I have heard the tales of those who fought in Scouring. I would love to meet them. I would never pray a battle with them on anyone. Choosing to battle someone brought back to life takes a lot of guts, because you are not just killing a abomination against nature you are killing a hero, the founders of our world. I know you have heard the songs sung about them actually you know more bar songs than I do. I know what I read…” Alcibie sighed.
“I feel ill just thinking about all this.” She held her head now was not the time to empty her stomach. She just shook her head and began walking in front of Rayl. “Think what you may, but I am not a fighter and I would like to get to a town alive. So please refrain from insulting anyone from now on, would you Rayl?”

Rayl turned to her, and paused before continuing,"Ok, I know who is in charge here, who's the brain's, I just feel like making a joke once and awhile...if you all want me to be one of those boring guards who listens to the rules all the time and does as he's told, then go ahead and say so." it was there he realised why he had wanted to become a knight in the first place, and felt ashamed by the reason in all honesty, and decided to just be more of a knight from here on out," Alright then, I'll scout ahead now." he lightly spurred his horse forward, and rode past the rest of the group...he now honestly felt like leaving them all right then and there, but something...or someone, kept him from doing so.
He stopped after a short while, looking at a sign at the fork of the road...if he went one way, he'd go to Santaruz, yet if he choose to leave the group and go the other way, he'd be right back at Laus...he shook his head, and rode down the pathway to Santaruz, stopping on a hill to look down at what would be before them, glad to have a small time alone before the rest of the group caught up,"...At least there is nothing bad to report, but knowing our luck..."

Zeiss audibly cleared his throat for a minute or so until he was sure he had everyone's attention. 'I want you to be one of those boring guards who listens to the rules all the time and does as he's told.'

"Come on, Zeiss," Wylie said to him. "All he did was ask how long you'd known Crowley for."
Addressing Rayl now, "I can answer that one for you, because it was the first thing I asked as well, and the answer is for not very long. They only briefly met eachother through the guy that helped defeat Roland."
"So what did your scouting reveal?" he then asked. "Are we on the right track?"

IC:"...Yes sir wylie, if we keep up this pace, we should be at Santaruz in about three or four hours." he nodded his head, before going to the end of the group, looking up towards the sky,"I highly reccomend we should double our pace, it looks like it could rain at any moment..." he quickened his pace going past the group again, deciding best to check up on something he had seen earlier.
Stopping his horse on the hill again, he looked down at the forest they'd have to go through, his eyes widened slightly in surprise at the sight before him: forest fire,"Crud!" he turned his horse sharply, before riding off back,"Sir Wylie, we have a problem, the forest we have to pass through has been lite ablaze...either it's by chance, or...someone doesn't want you three to get to Santaruz...so what now? do we take the long route around, or shall we risk the fire and hope for the best?"
OoC: Am I the only one who noticed how similar Santaruz sounds like Santa Cruz? Just something insanly random...

"You have got to be kidding." Crowley mumbled. He had been quiet while others were talking. He was glad they knew the truth now, but still... he liked being called magnificent. Ah well, he'll just have to wait for the next inn.
"How much trouble can one encounter in a few days? This is getting ridiculous." Crowley looked up at the sky and shook his fist.
"What did I ever do wrong to YOU!?" He spat on the ground.
"Let's go found a river and follow it. That should be a solution. Does anyone has a better solution?" Crowley inquired. He just wanted his treasure and be done with it.

'I'm with crowley, we'll never get there if we keep this up.' Zeiss said annoyed.

"Alright then...lets just hope they, if anyone, arn't thinking the same thing and destroying the bridge..." he mummbled, before he looked through the saddle bag on his left, finding pretty much everything gone, probably lost when he went ahead to to check on their location, and then cursed under his breath," I'm with you on this one Sir Crowley, this is a pain in the-"
It was here he got an idea,though it had it's obvious flaw,"-You know, if Persephone wasn't so quiet lately, I'd say we could have her fly over the fires..." he shrugged, before riding off, deciding to just scout ahead, as that was appearently his little job.

Usha had been following along in silence. These people chattered like squirrels in trees. You'd think they wanted to be attacked by every bandit in the countryside.
Clearly these were a bunch of amateurs...
Oh well, more bodies meant less of Usha for enemies to hit. It also meant less kills for her... but she was willing to accept that.

"Lets just hope Rayl finds us a river," Wylie said to no-one in particular. He didn't like what Rayl was saying about this forest fire being deliberately lit. That would mean mages and lately he really didn't like mages. Plus, he was fairly sure they'd made a clean getaway.
He brielfly eyed off the new people, Rayl, Alcibie, Persephone and Usha, as potential traitors but put the thought out of his mind. If any of them had wanted to do something to the rest, It would have been done by now. It was just an ordinary forest fire. Coincidental and unfortunate, yes, but ordinary.

Rayl silently rode as he left their view. He had a bad feeling about this situation...upon arrival at the forest yet again, he noticed one slight thing that would eliminate the option of a natural forest fire: well, two really. There was the fact that there were two seperate fires, as well as the people in hoods shooting fireballs to feed the flames...and the river wasn't in sight, probably behind the flames,"Bah, just great." he turned his horse, and was about to ride, when the tres before him were lit aflame, and he turned his horse in another direction, only for the same thing to happen. this went on for a short while until he was surrounded by a ring of flames,"Crap..." he struggled to calm his horse down, which was turning around in circles on it's hind legs, smoke starting to rise around him, making it hard to breath, and already he felt burned by it all,"...gotta warn...the others..." he was able to cough out, then spurred his horse hard, sending it leaping from the flames, as he rode back to the group yet again, jumping off the horse as it was still running, making a rolling stop to them, the flames out,"...Yeah...it's no natural forest fire...mages..." he puased, before sitting down, catching his breath, before laying down: he was officially tired and sick of this whole getting to Santaruz thing...he was now hoping he'd get paid for being in Wylie's group, deciding there that the troubador was officially the boss.

'Yeah, that's fascinating.' Zeiss said lightly. 'Can we go now? This is starting to creep me out.'
