The name Brad stuck a note in Lumino's head.
"Learn your history boy!"
"It's a wonder you were able to pass school"
He knew Brad, even though he had only seen him once or twice. Unconsciously his fists clenched at his side, as Alexia's conversation with the 3 strangers continued in the backround.
"Perhaps." He said speaking up. "We should see if there is room to stay here for now. The desert has been hard on us, it would be best to relax for a bit before we press onward into Eturia."

"Sorry to interrupt you! But this is where I step in dear saviours! I know a pub around here with some rooms. Beautiful place, really. Very nice beds"
And when you sleep I'll rob you. muahahaha. OK; play it cool now, Kraft, play it cool.
"But, I believe we haven't met? My name is Kraft, tell yours later. that can wait."
I sure want to get to know that girl I stumbled into better; noticing how large her purse is. She probably hadn't been able to spend her pay for several months now, and it had accumulated greatly. Full of gold. Hehe. Ok, play it cool, play it cool.
"Anyway, shall we? Thank you again for saving me fair lady, I have no idea how else my poor children would've survived"NO, Kraft, bad move, drop that lie, sheez. "Hehe... uhh, shall we? Follow me! This way! All of you! You too girlish mage. Hehehe, kidding!"
And so the group of strangers followed Kraft and followed him to the 'Green Unicorn' a not-so nice pub, with not-so nice rooms; but very very cheap.
As they entered, the barkeeper said:
"HI Kraft! Want a beer? It's not like you have a wife who's waiting for you at home anyway! HAR HAR HAR!" "Uhh, yeah, whatever" D**n, Kraft turned to his 'guests' and said:
"I hope this place is allright dear 'nobles', eh? No worries, I will make sure you guys get a room. I know the barkeeper."

Lumino wanted to go fetch Matthias and Sergey, but leaving Alexia alone with 3 unknown people didn't sit too well with him. He spotted a small boy, probably a few years younger then himself. Matthias and Sergey weren't too far out of the village.
"Hey boy!" Lumino waved calling the boy over. "I'll give ya 5 coins if you go run an errand for me, ok? There is a funny looking man with a bow..." He explained where Matthias and Sergey were. "Can you tell him to come to this pub?"
The boys eyes shined with child-like greed. "Ok Mister! I got it!" And ran out the door. Now with any luck, he could stay and see what was going on. He wasn't sure that he trusted this atmosphere. It was rather...dangerous.

"Heh. So you have even more friends with you, eh?"
D**n; this could be a problem. I only might be able to rob two of them before getting noticed. I guess I'll go for the small group. The other two are getting reinforcements. Besides, that girl who helped me -though she's loaded with money- seemed too strong for me anyway.
"So, I guess it's okay you all have one room? That'll be 6 rooms right? Oh no, don't worry about me, I'll know where to go. Now tell me, lads, what are your names, and what's your business?"
Heh, that's it Kraft, win their trust...

"You didn't have enough money to pay back that man, but you have enough to purchase six rooms at an inn?" asked Alexia, eyeing Kraft. She didn't like the atmosphere of the pub he'd led them into, but she didn't want to offend anybody. "I'm guessing you have family that works here?" She wanted to trust him. Despite the fact that everything she'd seen seemed to be working against that, she really wanted to trust him. Wait a moment... didn't the barkeep say Kraft didn't have a wife? Oh, he must've taken in the children out of the goodness of his heart. Alexia looked on at the scruffy man with greater warmth.

Maeleeown yawns loudly glaring at the idiotic man in front of her. She was tired and wanted to find someplace to rest for the night, and hopefully drink a nice cold ale. Cold was even iffy at the moment. "I want to stop." She growls out as she spots the glorious town ahead of them, the stallion beneath her snorts decisively in agreement nodding his head his silvery mane whacking her in the face. Sputtering she takes out the hair and scowls. The strutting, clunking "knight" either didn't hear her above his own racket or had chosen to ignore her. Tired, cranky, and sick of his insistent singing she hefted a nice sized horse brush in her palm and heaved it right his annoying head. A thunk, a thud, and a few groans later the singing had stopped, the "knight"was unconscious and working his way on top of the horse. "Stupid..."grunt heave," ...man." The silver and black speckled stallion snickered tossing his head in laughter. "I know we should get rid of him but he's your master and I need a healer. Besides..."grunt and heave, "He's not that bad of a singer." An hour later and the three wanders were within the town announcing their respected presence. Of course the knight couldn't talk right now for he was unconscious but his healer could answer any questions in hope for a place to stay for the night. A rather scruffy old man pointed them in the direction of a pub further into town with a toothless grin. Smiling shyly Maeleeown headed to the 'Green Unicorn.'

marzius had followed the others into the pub, and liked what he saw. like many etrurian pubs, it had that wonderful atmosphere. and several serving wenches. marzius winked at the prettiest one as he placed his order. he suspected that kraft was trying to swindle the amiable cavalier and her young mage friend. "i'm marzius," he explained to the thief, who had been asking for names. this light made it interesting to see the others... he studied their faces closely, seeing who he could trust. the cavalier looked trusting, and he knew miley was fine. he didn't trust kraft as far as he could throw him. the young mage.... "lumino?" he gasped, mouth agape. it couldn't be, the boy returned to bern... he must be mistaken. besides, he wasn't about to be identified by some kid. he grabbed his drink from the serving wench and nonchantly turned from the younger mage.

"Really you know Brad!" Miley said excitedly to the woman as she followed her in the pub, she must have been pretty crowded by now with the theif and Miley but Miley was so very excited. "Is he nice? Or is he a Jerk? Where is he now? Do you know him very well?" Miley flooded her with questions, she seemed to do that a lot when she was excited. "You have very pretty hair" Miley also added.

"Thank you! I sometimes think about cutting it short, like yours, but everytime i start to someone mentions it. Besides, it's under a helmet anyway. Brad, let me think... he's a very nice man, actually. The intellectual sort, a shaman. Seems to be quite a dependable man though," commented Alexia, as she pondered her companion. Once she thought about it, she'd spent more time with Brad than nearly everyone else in the company. "He's got sincere eyes.. and sort of orange hair. There's something about him. Kinda like... Marzius, almost. That air, like they know what they're doing..."

"I had to cut my hair short when I was training in Ilia, my teacher thought that long hair would get in the way. So is Brad like Marzy? I hope he doesn't hit on me like Marzy did when we first met." Miley remembered Marzius taking her hand and sweet talking her just a few hours ago. "So what's your name?" Miley asked, the girl had probably introduced herself before but Miley was very forgetful at times.

"My name? That would be Kraft. HARHARHAR!! Sorry to interrupt your conversation beauties, but I think it's time for you all to relax. And what helps more with relaxing than some ale? Don't worry, I've arranged it with the barkeeper. you can all drink free this evening, as MUCH as you want HARHARHAR!! I've told the other blokes here, that they can drink as much as they want too. It's out of gratitude because this girl here saved me. Heh."
Brilliant. They get all drunk and then I'll rob that Marzius and his 'girlfriend'. Hehe.
Kraft had also spotted the weird look on Marzius' face when he met the other mage. Mmmm, maybe I should inform the other mage. That would be quite interesting...
Kraft started to mingle and talked to everyone. He asked for their names and did a little chit chat. Of course he always offered them some ale.
To the girl who saved him (OoC: Alexia), he explained: "Yes, yes, I don't have a wife, she uhh" died "Died! a few years ago. Yes, killed by those bandits, very tragic. Now my 5 children are all alone... Anyway, thanks for helping me out! Don't worry, I know the barkeeper. Everything is settled. Here's drink some Ale! Good for your health HARHARHAR!!!
And to the strange mage (OoC: Lumino) he whispered: "I'm sorry, kind sir, I don't want to disturb you, but it seems that that guy over there, oooh what'shisnameagain." Kraft snapped his fingers and grinned; "Oh right, Marzius, yes, Marzius. It seems he knows you. I hope I've helped you out with this information. sir. eh?"
And on that moment another stranger arrived. It seemed she would like a room, but all rooms where taken by Kraft and his 'guests'...
(OoC: Please note that my character is 22/23 years old. So he's not a boy or an old man. He's a man! ;D ;D )

"Thank you, but I don't drink," explained Alexia, moving the proffered mug, as a serving wench brought them around. "And I believe I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Alexia, a cavalier in service of Pherae. It's a long story, but now Lumino." She pointed at the young mage who accompanied her. "Myself, Matthias our leader, and Sergey, an ex-bandit, are heading to talk to the rulers of Etruria. The leader of the Ruinz bandits has resurrected the heroes of the Scouring, and is using them to attack the rest of the world." Alexia still wondered about how the scruffy young man is able to pay for six rooms and unlimited drinks when he couldn't pay back 50 gold. "Oh, and you don't have to worry about Brad hitting on you. Marzius is the only man I've met so far that does that..."

The boy Lumino sent arrived to find Matthias still lying face down in the dirt. He cautiously went over and tapped the sniper, who swatted him away. "Um... sir... your friend sent me. You're wanted in town, at the 'Green Unicorn,'" the boy pointed in the general direction of town. Matthias pulled himself up, staring at the little boy. "Say what?" "Your friends found rooms at the 'Green Unicorn,'" the boy repeated, pointing towards the town. Matthias nodded, rubbing his face. He quickly hopped to his feet, and gave Sergey a nudge. "C'mon, we need ta head into town," he told the fighter, as Matthias started moving into town.

A great conclave pulled into the small border town. Several armed combatants, taken from the Etrurian leader's own personal guard, walked or rode in time with an impressive carriage. A fancy dressed crier ran out before the carriage, shouting at people to move out of the way. Finally, the carriage pulled to a stop in the center of town...

Lumino glanced over his shoulder and out the door. "What is going on out there? Sounds like a royal just arrived..." He smirked, looking to Alexia. "If Matthias shows up soon, our work might be finished very quickly indeed."
