"We'll keep going and hope that Miley catches up with us, if she's even coming," Alexia called back the answer to Kraft. "And Sergey, we may have failed in this town, but maybe another town will hear us. Or we can find an authority figure willing to listen. Sometimes all it takes is one lord..." She turned to look at Kraft's back (I'm guessing he'd lead), trying to fight back the tears. She'd have time to mourn later, for now they had to keep going.

She leaned against the well holding a finger to her lips to her companions/stalkers. As soon as the well went remotely quiet or at least quiet enough she knew that the group of odd travelers were farther into the well she motioned to the man in armor. "Okay," she whispered, "We're going to lower the horse down as quietly as possible and follow these people." "But you-" "Yes, I had wanted to stay and rest but too bad. We're now going to follow them. Got it? Good...Now get your bloody horse and lets go."
A good half hour was spent (or at least it felt that way) trying to get the horse, and the hulking knight down the well shaft. Finally after a loud, nerve wrenching crash the three were inside the well. After a good whallop to the head, with the knight's own metal gauntlet, he shut his mouth and followed Maeleeown into the well's hidden tunnel.
"I'm not trained in stalking unlike you two baffoons. Sooo...we'll follow at a nice safe distance unlike you two...for anything you do I'll do the opposite. It should work better." She nodded to herself in her brilliance ignoring the grumblings of the sulking, head throbbing, man behind her.

After a good half hour was spent walking they arrived at the end of the tunnel. A door was all that was left between them and the forest.
So far so good, I think they are starting to trust me. Well, at least the girl, Alexia.. I have lost the other girl and the mage however. But I'm certain these guys will lead me to more of these traitors.
Kraft heared some noise in the distance. The others didn't seem to notice.
What?! Someone is here? D**N!!! Already? Wait, calm down, it might be Miley, yes, exactly. What now, what now... Okay, Kraft, it's just Miley, you weren't followed so it's probably Miley. Okay. Here we go... By St. Elimine, I'm afraid...
"Uh, guys? You can open the door if you want, just follow the little road until you reach the oak. Wait there for me, I forgot to hide the ladder. I'll be back in an hour. G-g-o go on without me!"
Kraft could barely hide his excitement and nervosity in his voice. Before they could react he tried to get past them, in the other direction.

OOC: It's a very thin hallway yes? There is no way for you to slip past ALL of us before we can react, ESPECIALLY not Alexia. So now we have to wait and see if anyone wants to stop you.
Lumino watched the weird man try to pass them all. Apparently he wanted to attempt an escape, but trying to force himself past Alexia seemed to take more time then he anticipated. Lumino watched as the man bolted past him, and wondered if he should try to stop him. He decided to let him go, if Sergey wanted to stop him, he was pretty sure that he would be able to.

Sighing, Alexia clamped down on Kraft as he tried to edge around her and Night Flight (her horse, who would be right behind her). "I wouldn't worry about heading back at this point. If you go back to move the ladder, someone will surely see you. If someone sees you, they will know you were up to something. At this point, we'll just have to move quick enough that they'll find the ladder after we're gone. Besides, we'd probably get lost without you to guide us."

OoC: Hey sorry guys! I was a bit confused, I thought I wasn't leading anymore siiiilly me. "I'm s-s-sorry, but I thought it would b-be wise to remove the ladder... But I will do as you guys wish... B-but please, don't forget. I saved your life! I'm a friend... not a servant. P-please remember that..." D**n. Meddling fools! D**n. I really shouldn't have helped them. I should've betrayed them to St. Elimine when I had the chance. The sound I heard was probably nothing... Well no choice but to continue I guess. Well, at least they are believing my 'little' lies.Kraft opened the door and suddenly there was a great flash of light. Sunlight. He stepped out of the tunnel and there he was: the forests of Etruria. With the little road he had speaken of. The other side of the door was hidden by some bushes and some trees so he had to fight his way through the bushes. But, he was there. OoC: So, do we keep posting in this thread?

OoC: move on. Next person create a post titled Forest of Etruria. We'll start there.
Alexia was glad to step out into the light, though she wasn't half as glad as her horse, who stepped quickly out into the light. "Sorry Night Flight," she murmured, stroking the impressive horse. Night Flight rolled his head and whinnied, berating his owner for sticking him in a dark hole. "And I'm sorry we got you into this, Kraft. I just don't want you to be caught by St. Elimine," she looked back, shuddering in remembrance of Matthias.

marzius ran out of wind eventually. by now, most of the townspeople had wandered off, and nearly all of st. elimine's guard looked ravenously bored. only st. elimine had been paying attention. marzius knew he had to leave quickly if he was to catch up with the others. he needed a distraction that would cause them valuable time. thinking quickly, he reached into his robes, touching his tome. "fire!" he screamed, thrusting his hand forward. the fire ball hit st. elimine's carriage, causing the thing to go up in flames. bowing to the aged holy man, marzius sprinted for the town gate. the guards knew they had to work at the carriage, and could only send a couple to follow the mage.

(OoC; I hope you came from Ostia when you entered this border town, I couldn't find where you came from, so I guessed... I'll move the post if it's wrong.) "Well, here we are! What about a rest, mate?" Crowley said while taking out his dice. "I bet you 20 gold he won't make it to Santaruz. On foot." one said. "Deal mate." The other said, then they looked at Crowley. "And I think he will. So lad, can you walk? Because I'm about to earn 40 shiny medals here." Crowley smiled while shaking the hand with the dice. "Talkin' about gamblin' what about a nice game? You'll pay us twice the amount of money when we get to Ostia if I win or we'll work for free for you if I lose. What about it mate?" Crowley knew he'd win. He knew all tricks there were with dice. Sure win.

Matthias watched the dice game. He smiled at Crowley's comment. "I once walked from Ostia to Ilia and back. I've also walked outta the Nabatan desert into Etruria. This is a stroll," he stated. He grinned at his new companion.

"Hah. Told you boys. I'll win this bet. Nice mate. Niiiice." He patted the Archer on the back and let out a howl.
"OOOWAA! This is going to be a goood trip after all! Hahaha!" Crowley liked this guy. He always liked people who made sure he won money.
"So, what about throwing some dice, mister...?" Crowley smiled.

Matthias thought about it for a while. Then shook his head. "Nah, I should probably just get some rest. We're going to be movin' on in the mornin', so don't get too drunk." He curled up and closed his eyes.

"Rise and shine, bumblebee!" Crowley yelled at the sleeping Matthias. Crowley had drunk a little and had only slept about two hours. He could sleep while riding.
"We're going to Ostia!" He smiled again.
He kicked one of the sleeping mercs in the side;
"You too, you drunk dog."
He jumped on his horse. He felt good, he had won some money again last night.
"What are you waiting for?"
