Great, another crazy person Tobias thought, sighing. I hope she's at least a little quieter than Crowley. Suddenly remembering something, Tobias knocked on one of the bars to get attention. "That reminds me; who was it that got you two arrested? Not that I don't already know.." he trailed off with a meaningful glance at Crowley.

"It was Wylie who got us arrested. I tried to stop him, but well... You know him. He's always been an aggressive drinker." Crowley laughed and winked at Wylie. He so full of energy now he was out of that tiny cell.
"Well, uh, thanks for saving us!" He said at Natalie. Then he clapped his hands and got his sword ready.
"Let's vote how to get out of the city. We can sneak, or we can fight our way true and butcher some guards on the way too. I suggest we leave town in direction of Santaruz, they may not guess the direction we're heading for. And when we've dealt with this 'Herald' I'll make sure to come back to give this town a whoopin'."

"Man, it feels like my entire life this past few months has taken place on the road between Ostia and Santaruz," Wylie sighed. "I need to see somewhere I haven't seen before."
He pulled out a map from his bag.
"If we follow this mountain range," he pointed with his finger, "to the northeast, and then head north along this river," again he pointed," we'll end up along the border of Ilia, and can enter Etruria from the east."
"I'm sure this'll be just as unexpected, and we've never been to Ilia before, so it's less likely we'll be recognised." Wylie then waited for some kind of response from the group.

Crowley slowly nodded in understanding.
"I'm in, sounds like a plan." He got his stuff ready and was ready to go.
He had been to Ilia once, though it had been a long time.

"For getting out of town, I vote we sneak. We don't really need to waste our time fighting." The thief smiled as she continued speaking. "Besides, if we sneak out, we have at least until morning before it's discovered we're gone, and we'll be far enough ahead if they decide to send out pursuit."
"In regards to how we get to Etruria, going through Ilia sounds good to me," Natalie agreed with Crowley. "I've never been up there before, though. What's it like?" she asked as she checked her gear, making sure not to leave anything behind.

"Pretty lame. Boring. Few villages to pillage. That's all I remember."
Crowley did shake his head when Natalie suggested to sneak out of town. It was the best idea, but Crowley really wanted to show these fools a lesson. Idiots. Suddenly Crowley's eyes caught a movement. One of the guards started moving again. He quickly dealt with the man with a quick blow and grinned.
"Let's get going."

The group arrived at the town stables, where their horses were still tied up. Apparently their captors had forgotten about them, and left them alone. Wylie mounted his, and then realised Natalie was still new to their group.
"Hey Natalie, do you have a horse around here somewhere, or do you want to double up with one of us?" he asked.

Natalie pondered this for a moment. 'Hmm, should I go get the horse I had prepared, or should I double up...No contest.' Out loud, she said, "I have a horse, but she's outside of town a few miles away to the north. So I'll double up with one of you while we head there."
The thief looked at her companions: Crowley the "Magnificent", Wylie the Wrestler, and that guy named Tobias. "I don't trust the other two that much, so is it okay if I ride with you Wylie?" she asked while giving him a look that said "Pretty Please?"

Hell yes, thought Wylie. "Sure thing," is what he actually said. He then offered her a hand to jump up.
"Alrighty, lets hit it."

Tobias sighed. Yes, lets go to the place none of us have never been, then charge after the guy who wants us dead. perfect he thought to himself, still wondering why he didn't leave these people. He mounted his horse with distaste. He watched the new girl's display and had to admire her ability to act. She was good enough that he didn't even mind the insult.

With a smile, Natalie took Wylie's hand and hoisted herself up behind him, 'accidentally' pressing herself flush against his back. Giving a little giggle and whispering, "Sorry," she repositioned herself before pointing to a small trail heading north. "Take that trail to the small stream and we can follow it to where my horse is," the thief stated.

(OoC: Sorry for the absence folks. Doing birthday stuff. Also, Crowley's on holidays for the next month and a half, i think.)
With everything sorted, the group set off. Initially, Wylie was constantly aware of Natalie sitting against him, but he gradually grew used to the physical closeness.
With not much talking taking place, Wylie had a chance to think about what they were doing. He was looking forward to seeing Ilia. He thought he might even run into Persephone, her being a pegasus knight.
But more and more, he became worried about what was waiting for them in Delfia. He'd seen more and more signs of the threat that was growing there, through posters and such, but the recent events in the Ostia scared him. If they were unwelcome this far out of Etruria, what would Etruria itself be like now? The fact that their names were already bad news in Delfia due to the Mages' Academy incident was at the back of his mind as well. They'd have to be extremely careful there, and it was finally starting to hit him that they were gambling with their lives here.
To distract himself, Wylie asked Natalie. "So where abouts is the horse you've got waiting?"

Tobias had been enjoying the silence and sighed when Wylie thought up an excuse to break it. "Didn't you hear her earlier? We just follow this trail to the stream, then follow the stream to the horse. Or did you just want an excuse to talk to her?"

"Nah. I really just wanted to break this silence," Wylie said truthfully.
He then remembered something. "Hey Tobias, what are you doing back here anyway? I thought you were in Etruria with Zeiss."

"Oh yeah, I probably should have mentioned that.... I'll give you the short version. Some guy called the High Inquisitor took over Delfia and wants to conquor the rest of Etruria too. He claims that the heroes are good and you guys are demons." He shrugged. "Nothing too serious, but Zeiss overreacted and told me to come back to you for some reason... He's probably got himself captured by now."
