"Well that about does it I think," Wylie said in the aftermath. "Is everyone healthy?"
Wylie looked around to check if anyone was wounded until he noticed the new person standing there. He wasn't sure if anyone had even greeted her so he stepped forward.
"Greetings to you too," he said while offering his hand. "I'm Wylie and these are Crowley, Zeiss, Rayl, Persephone and Alcible," he said, indicating each in turn. "Thanks for your help earlier. Without you we mightn't have done so well."

Usha nodded. There was a lot of names there to memorize, and some of them sounded rather unfamiliar. She did catch one name in particular, however. "Crowley? As in Crowley the Magnificent?" she asked. She looked around, trying to figure out which one was the legendary mercenary. She ignored the small woman who was healing her, though she did appreciate it. Still, that's what healers were for, wasn't it? Why thank them? "Which one of you is Crowley?"

'Well, naturally it's one with the wooden plate.' Zeiss said before he could stop himself.

(OoC: Let's say I finished the bandit leader. It would make no sense, otherwise. And WOW this thread has moved!)
Crowley turned his head when he heard his name. He was drinking from his flacon. He decided he deserved a little reward. The wooden plate was his secret weapon. It wasn't big, but big enough to protect that certain area. And of course he didn't put it in his briefs. He put it in his pants.
"Mmm? Did I hear my name?" Crowley said while spitting. He was a bit tired. It was a short fight and luckily the bandits weren't too skilled. They were strong, though. He waved at the rest of the group to let them know he was okay. He was the leader now it seemed. Awkward. He wasn't one made for leading he had been used HAVING a leader. He should talk with Wylie about it.
He noticed a newcomer. She must've been the one who had asked about him.
He extended his hand, to the... beast? Beast woman? That woman! Amazing. Crowley felt sligthly uneasy standing near to the woman.
He coughed.
"Crowley... Pleasure to meet you."

As soon as Wylie heard "Crowley the Magnificent," his ears pricked up. Another one! Where do these people come from? he thought.
Wylie then considered the newcomer. She hadn't even given her name yet. He hoped she was friendly.

Wylie had pointed to her telling the giant her name. Alcibie felt her knees knock together. Then the giant had yelled out. Alcibie had automatically retreated from in front of the axe bearer. She was all too willing to hide behind the line of men. The cleric knew death when she saw it, one blow and she would be in the same boat as the archers. Then Zeiss brought up the wood thing. Alcibie turned red again. She refused to even turn her head towards the Mercenary. Crowley did not seem so confident either. That did not relieve Alcibie on bit. The cavalier had dedicated an entire drunken speech to the man. Thinking back Alcibie had never heard of him or actually anyone of these people, some how that made the whole situation worse.
“Wylie…” the cleric said quietly from behind him, still trying to stay out of the big ones sight line. Who exactly are you people? The words would not come out though. Instead when she opened her mouth a different phrase came out. “Can he take her?” Alcibie blushed. Where had that come from? She pulled at the edges of her hood. Is that guy really in charge? Do you all do this often? ...I really hope the big one does not see me…

Usha noticed the cleric skittering behind the others and laughed. Actually, it was less like laughter and more like several cannon shots going off, but you get the idea. She approached Crowley, gripping his hand tightly in her own massive one. "Name's Usha, I'm a merc too. Heard a lot about you. Lookin' for more help?" she looked at the rest of the group. They looked rather scrawny, for mercenaries. He'd definitely need some muscle.

Wylie looked over his shoulder and gave Alcibie an odd look. "We just met her," he replied. "But yes I think he could... just. But would he? I really don't think so. I think he'd rather hit the pubs with her as a drinking buddy."
Wylie then wondered how Crow would respond to Usha's request. She seemed friendly enough.

Crowley narrowed his eyes. Right now he had two options. A: Say "no" and he'll end up as a pile of bones and blood and B: say "yes" and have a fantastic fighter on their side. It didn't take long to take a decision. He enjoyed the handshake, though, he loved it when people had a firm handshake.
"...Yeah. You can join. No problem." He grinned and let go of her hand and looked at her once again. Oh my. She was quite something. She could probably kill a bear with her bare hands. He shrugged.
"Okay, folks. Are we ready to go?"

"of course we are. Soldiers must be ready at a moments notice, Sir Crowley." he nodded his head, before pointing to the bag of loot the bandits had in their possession,"and what you suppose we do with the spoils? If we are mecenaries, I guess we just have you divi it up...but I"m good, I already took something from it." he tapped his helmet and shield with his spear
"So Santaruz was it? I don't remember what has been going on around there, but at least we have a more balanced group...though if we had an archer or so, this wouldn't be as hard as I believe it will be." boy, when it sure came to strategy, you wouldn't be surprised if Rayl retired one day and became a traveling tactitian.

Before crowley could reply Zeiss beat him too it. 'Don't look suprised, Rayl really is speaking for all of us. I don't remember being a soldier but I'm just empty headed that way.' Zeiss also started walking.

Usha shrugged. She'd already plundered the bodies. She also wanted to meld into the group better. Might as well give them the spoils for this one. "The tin man needs a horse," she pointed out, literally. "He's not a knight." She looked around, as if a horse was just going to walk out of the woods. Maybe she should go find one and give it to him. That would be helpful...

Wylie began trotting along as well. He was at ease now that Crowley had accepted the new person. If Crow thought she was ok, chances were she was.
As time moved on and morning became late afternoon, Wylie spoke up. "We should probably find a spot to camp for the night. We're well and truly in the heart of Lycia now and we should make it to Santaruz late tomorrow."

Crowley had taken the loot for himself and had sworn to everyone he would share it. Someday. It was filled with shiny stuff. He liked that. He agreed with Wylie.
"Yeah. Some sleep would do us good. I'll take the first watch." He wasn't noble or anything but he didn't trust most of them. The first group didn't look too harmful, Zeiss and Wylie were absolutely on his side and he accepted Usha because he didn't dare to say "no". So, it was better that he stayed up. He loved himself, the number one.
