Fantasy Badventurers

Leaning heavily on his staff, and fighting back some heaving at having seen the skeleton face of Xedris, Jerron turned to the rest of the group and finally spewed forth vomit, and a freezing ray of cold, in the direction of the fire.


"BLAAAARGH! Ugh... should warn someone 'bout that!" he wiped at the corner of his mouth and squinted through bleary eyes at the orc, "And as for what you're saying... if yer protectin' shure, I'm willin' to listen."
 
Sergei gives Jerron a hearty pat on the back.


"There we go, friend. Let it all out." He turned to the Bison rider.


"As for you, Beast man, we could always use a brave warrior on our journey for justice! Care to come along? "
 
Jerron winces at the strength behind the pat on his back, his grip tightening on his staff to stop himself from falling over. He sidesteps to get out of Sergei's reach in the future, and brings himself up to standing. He takes a moment to survey the entire group, except for Xedris while his mask is off, and rubs his chin thoughtfully.


"Anyone else wondering if we were supposed to survive?"
 
"I think that coward tried to kill those heroes without us to protect them. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to do it."


Sergei beckons for everyone to gather round. "Where should we go? We need to get information against this devil of a man."
 
"If he's gonna hit-and-run in MY city, he's got a lot to answer for!" Rhodes proclaimed, standing his scrawny body in front of everyone at once, somehow. "I say we march right into his accursed tooth-lair, beat him within an inch of his life, and make him rebuild the adventurer hall! That's the noble knight thing to do." He paused, then looked over at Jerron. "You, wizard. You know... things. Where is this den of dentistry?"
 
Jerron looked at the scrawny tin-can of a man with a bit of shock, and shook his head. "It's Jerron Sirc, I'll thank you. Mashter Wizard. And the den of dentistry is clearly at 42 Shmaug Wood, Riverlane Libary. Jusht by the bakery."


He motioned over his shoulder with his thumb, accenting his motion with a thunderous burp.
 
Sergei flexed his muscled in preparation for his favorite spell of all, voice amplification.


"THEN TALLY HO, BRETHREN! OFF TO THE DENTIST WE GO!"





He cheerfully lead the charge off towards the town, not knowing what the future would hold, but certain that it would be filled with adventure.


"And perhaps," he said, his voice returned to normal, "We could pick up a bite to eat. As wonderful as Dwarven bread may be, I fear it's... not my favorite. Perhaps they'll have some strudel!"
 
Lexx had quietly watched all the commotion around him and had took stock of all his new companions, trying to determine how useful they would be in a fight. So far he didn't think to much about the groups chances.


He approached the rest of the group and listened to the talk about heading to the dentist to exact our revenge. Then the big giant of a man let our a great roar "THEN TALLY HO, BRETHREN! OFF TO THE DENTIST WE GO!" He started moving of at a run and Lexx, feeling a little braver decided to follow. He thought it would be a good time to transform and then maybe he could scout ahead and get a better view of potential dangers to his new companions. Lexx started concentrating and visualising a golden eagle, repeating what he wanted over and over in his head. Then he started to shift...


"CRACK"





He had shifted...





 
Straight away Lexx knew his shift had went wrong yet again. Frustrated, he looked down at his hooves and seen his white fur. He had become a Llama. Before his father died he had been able to shift like the others and only after his death did he begin to have problems.


He bounded after the big clumsy giant, wondering to himself how much help he could be in this form.

"Alright, this sounds like a proper adventure!" Hathid yelled as he swung onto Gorrigan and pointed after his new companions. "Follow that Llama!" The Bovine mount instead snorted once and leaned to the side tipping off the dwarf and ran off down the street.


Hathid picked himself up and dashed after the rest of the party muttering to himself. "I should compliment him more often he didn't even buck me off."
 
Xedris blinked (or, you know, at least tried to). Where did that llama come from? He should start paying more attention to his new companions, they seemed to be quite enthusiastic. Who knows what sort of trouble they'd end up in? He knew in his metaphorical heart that they would certainly perish if he wasn't there to help them and patch them up if something went wrong. So he started strolling in the direction his new friends ran off too. He was in no rush, he'd catch up to them when they got tired, or got themselves killed, whichever came first.
 
As the merry band of adventurers and some llama who just kind of appeared walked deeper into town, Sergei remembered that he had no money. And his stomach was grumbling. He thought that, perhaps, the baker or someone in town would need the services of a mage of the highest caliber, and decided to ask around, searching for townsfolk who looked like they needed some assistance.


"No job is too small for a man so big! Any task, magic or mundane, is good for Sergei!"
 
A short man with a potbelly noticed them. Not a very hard thing to do, given Sergei's stature and clear baritone voice. "If you are looking for a quick buck, the barkeeper is looking for someone to exterminate the giant rats in his basement." He looked over the party members, or, in the case of Sergei, under, and added: "Noone sane would take the job though, the old crackpot is the cheapest bastard you'll ever find, and the pay he offers is too low for even the most desperate adventurer."
 
"I could never hurt a little rat!" he said, remembering his promise to his family to value all creatures great and small.


"But maybe... If I could get them to leave, he'd surely pay me. He would never know the difference, no?"


Sergei claps his hands, and smiles at his friends. "How does it sound, Xedris? Shall we play the Pied Piper today?"
 
Xedris had only just caught up with the group and was generally not paying a lot of attention.


"Hmm? Did you say something about pie? I won't mind a slice if you're offering. But I don't know if this is the right time and place for snacks."
 
Rhodes panted as he tried to keep up with the rest of the group, his flimsy frame barely holding up his armor. "We... we should... wreck those rats, and scoop up some cash! Easy money, no fuss," he said, leaning on Sergei's tree-trunk arm. "The sooner we get rid of the vermin, the sooner we can get some of that pie. If you guys don't want to help me, that's just more reward for me."
 
"Hah! Sorry, friend, but the time for eating is not quite yet. Now is the time of tricking little rats!" He gestures to everyone else, asking what they think.
 
"Aye, we can go crush some rats and then sample some of the ale down there as a bonus from our generous employer!" Hathid said before swinging around and yelling. "Gorrigan get back here we've got a quest!"
 
"I like the way you think!"


Out of a cloud of sigar smoke a tall half elf in a slightly worn too big pinstriped business suit emerges.


"Name's Andreste Lallithim. Friends call me Polluto. Say I think we can find a solution to Mr. Barker, our ahh, honorable barkeep."


Looking around the small group of companions and their llama, he takes another deep drag of the foul thing sticking out of his mouth.


Exhaling he says


"All we goto do is find a new home for the little vermin, like oh I don't know, old Mrs Whiskers tea shop. I hear she pays a kings ransom for exterminator work."


At his feet is a small knobly looking goblin scribling on a piece of paper.
 
"Exterminator? Me? Never!"


Sergei flexes his arms in various poses, and suddenly...


pop!





A small flower comes up from the ground at Sergei's feet. "My only wish is to make beautiful things with my magic. I don't want to harm anyone, not even smelly, dirty rat!"


He's very firm on the matter; he'll relocate the rats, but he refuses to put them in danger.
 
Rhodes listens to the exchange with a slight aggravated expression, rolling his eyes at Sergei's pacifism. "You there, dwarf! With the pitiful steed. What skill've you got with the blade? We gotta protect this oaf while he works his sexy nature magic or whatever to get the rats out."
