Zeiss gathered up his courage and spoke up. 'Frankly, I don't. You must understand that this cause is bigger then any of you. We are facing the end of Elibe as we know it unless all that can fight, fight.' Zeiss hoped that Matis would get over whatever he was thinking about and help him because he wasn't good at this.

Matis had never seen Zeiss so determined. Some of the Pegasus Knights moved away from their husbands and fathers and sided the newcomers. Some had to struggle to do so, though, as the men were not yet convinced by their plea.
"My friend here is right. We won't lie. Hargus, the leader of the Ruinz Bandits, has taken command of all of Bern, and is aiming to conquer the rest of Elibe. For that, he apparently learned some ancient black magic, and used it to resurrect the heroes of the Scouring, which are now under his wing. This might sound crazy, I know, but it's the truth, and someone has to stop it all."
The crowd had stopped talking. Most of the people in the pub started laughing.
"Resurrecting the legends? Them following a good for nothing bandit?
The laughs continued. "You may have heard that Ostia was practically destroyed not so long ago, right?" Matis added, as everyone became silent. "That was the work of only one man. Roland." he said. "Yes, that very Roland. The wielder of the legendary Durandal. The man who fought alongside the other seven heroes during the time of the Scouring."

Zeiss sighed in the inside of relief, ever one to work on things from the backfround he found that being on the frontstage was quite pleasant. 'Which brings us to other matters: We haven't come just to ask help but also to warn you: Barigan is undoubtably resurrected as well, you'll have problem with him even if you don't help us.'

Ralph stood back silently, this talk made his head hurt, like when they were with that Athos guy in the desert. They would listen less if he spoke, being a small child, so he didn't say anything.
(OoC: You guys did surprisingly well on playing Ralph. Thanks.)

Apparently, their speeches had actually worked, as a handful of girls were stepping forward and grabbing their lances and spears.
"Thanks", Matis said and bowed to the girls that had decided to help.
"We'll be departing in a couple of days, but we'll meet you all here beforehand. If anyone changes their mind, please meet us here any of the following days. One or more of us will visit this place every day, in hopes of finding more help."
With that, he stepped down of the table, and motioned at Zeiss and Ralph to follow him, as he sat in that very table he had been standing on. He ordered some chocolate milk. A warm drink is really what he needed, since the water they had left had frozen overnight the last time they had camped.

Zeiss ordered the same as Matis and then pretty much collapsed into a chair. 'So, mission complete, I guess.'

"For the moment, at least. Which is our next destination? Back to Santaruz, or directly to Ostia?", he asked. Ostia was pretty much in ruins already, so there was not much point in going there. They would most likely meet someone in Santaruz, though.

'Santuraz, I guess. Assuming the others know about Ostia, off course.' Zeiss said thoughtfully. 'You wouldn't know where in Sacae Kenshin was headed by any chance?'

"No, he didn't tell me." he said, and started drinking, as they had just brought the chocolate milk for them both, as Ralph was still deciding what to order.
Though I'm sure he wanted to visit the remnants of our village. Wonder why, though.

"Just get me some water, oh, I think we should go wherever you decide, boss."

Zeiss drained his hot chocolate milk in one go and was started to feel like a normal human being again. 'I agree it's your decision Matis, I guess I'll leave you alone with your thoughts for now.' Zeiss stood up and left to find himself a bedroom.

Jack reached Nyme, and some easy asking around revealed that Matis had indeed passed through here and was indeed only travelling with only two companions. Confident that he would succeed in his mission Jack went to bed.

"We'll head to Santaruz, then. We'll depart in two days. I saw a couple of girls were wondering whether to come with us or not. Let's give them some time." he said, sipping the last of his chocolate milk.
"Be careful, Ralph. I don't think anything will happen while we are here, but just in case. Take your weapons with you everywhere" he said, before leaving the pub and starting looking for a room as well.

"Alright boss, I'll stay here for a little while." Ralph started sipping the water, not great, but oh well. Ralph tightened his grip on his slim sword, just in case.
(OoC: Time to bring back Bill.)

the next morning jack got dressed in a maddening haste. The waitress down stairs demanded that he paid for his stay but Jack silenced her quickly. In a few minutes jack was running out of Nyme toward the capitol already.
