Opening your eyes you shoot forwards and yell “NOT THE THREE EYED LIZARD”

After a few seconds of confusion you examine your surroundings and notice your sitting in your room. Wiping the drool from your mouth you shift the covers and step on the floor. Moving to the window you open the curtains and are blinded by the sun that’s floating high in the sky.

Covering your eyes you growl “We meet again my nemesis”

Looking out into the street you see that everything is calm and quite, off in the distance you can hear birds chirping and you smell a hint of flowers on the breeze. Sighing you smile, why can’t in always be like this? Suddenly a red, horned face flies into view just inches from your face and yells “BOO”

Jumping backwards you scream curses and flail your arms. Laughing a ball of fire steps into your room through the window, after a few seconds the flames subside and you see Balthasar standing there.

Grinning he says “I didn't take you for the scared type but I have been wrong before”

Grabbing your chest to settle your heart you give him a death stare “You have three seconds to leave before I skin you alive”

Raising his arms up and stepping back towards the window he says “Now, now, I came to tell you that others want to see you but you’re such an easy target I just had to set that up”

You run forwards but before you can jump on him he dives through the window again howling with laughter, running up to the window you yell out “WHEN I CATCH YOU YOU’RE DEAD….. ALSO I’M NOT AN EASY TARGET!”

Well now that you’re up what do you want to do?

 Go see what they want
 Go to the library
 Other

>>32357682
>Go see what they want

>>32357682
> Go see what they want

>>32357682
>Go see what they want

First and last vote. Sleep time.

>>32357682
>Go see what they want

Grumbling you wash your face and grab your stuff, stepping out into the hall way everything is quite. As you wander through the halls you can't find anyone, guess they're not in the palace. Stopping mid step you realise that Balthasar didn't even tell you where to go. Oh, he's gonna get his.

Walking out into the street you follow along the path looking for them. Eventually you find the group by the main gate packing the cart, as you draw closer Randolf gives you a wave and yells "About time you got here!"

Grumbling you say "Well I would have gotten here sooner if some one wasn't a dick"

Chuckling he says "Yeah, probably shouldn't have sent the demon"

Nodding you say "Yeah... Any ways what did you guys want?"

Looking back to the cart Randolf says "We ran out of supplies yesterday so we need to go out and get some. Since we manage to deal with all the problems around here I think its safe to leave"

Yelling to the cart he says "SASHA! How close are we?"

A voice yells back from the cart "We still need to pack a shit load of stuff"

Turning back to you he says "Well it looks like we have about an hour before we need to leave so you can tie up a few loose ends if you want just make sure to be back when we need to leave"

>Go to the library
>Go the military district
>Stay here

>>32358169
>Go to the library
learn more magic fuck we're gonna be an apprentice forever at this rate

>>32358169
>Go to the library

"Okay fine, I'll be at the library if you need me" with that you start walking back to the palace.

Before you get a few steps away you hear someone yell "Wait!". Turning around you see Tam running to you "I want to come with you"

Shrugging you say "Sure"

Eventually you made it back to the palace, stepping into the library you see nothing has changed except for two large piles of books on a table. Tam walks over to the table and takes a book from the right pile.

Looking at her you ask "Are you going to read all of those?"

Smiling Tam pats the books on the left "Oh no, I already read these ones"

Wow, she can be scary some times. Sighing you sit at the table and ask "Well miss smarty pants are there any magic books in there?"

Thinking for a second she begins to dig through the books "Actually I think there was one.... Ah! Here we go"

Sitting up you say "Pass it over, I'm about to get my reading on"

Taking the book from her hands you look over the title, "Advanced magic theory". Flipping through the page you see that it's filled with diagrams of ever sort and text explaining what they are.

Looking at the book you say "This is actually something really useful... Thanks Tam"

Blushing she buries her face in a book and says "N- No problem.."

Reading through the pages you see that it shows you some of the correct Technics when using magic, so apparently it isn't all point and shoot. It also talks about math calculations you need to make to aim the magic correctly. Sigh, well magic just got a lot more boring. After reading through it for a little while you can see a few things that you've been doing wrong and you need to fix (+5 to all magic rolls).

As you're reading through it Randolf pokes his head in "Sorry to interrupt girls but we're ready"

Slipping the book into your bag you and Tam follow him back to the cart. Climbing into the cart everyone gets settled and you set off.

>>32359026
Looking around the cart you see Weston and Denice talking while Rylan sits quietly, near them is Tam, Jodie, and Lilith and sitting in the corner is Balthasar.

>Talk with who?
>Sit quitely

>>32359078
>Talk with Tam, Jodie, Lilith

>>32359078
>Talk with Tam

>>32359078
>Weston and Denice
"So, Denice, how're you going to tell your mom about your relationship with Wes?

>>32359177
>>32359353

>Talk with Tam, Jodie, Lilith

Shifting over to the three girls you clap your hands together "So class, how did we enjoy our field trip?"

Hopping up and down Lilith gives you a grin "I LOVED IT! THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE FOREST!"

Tam and Jodie nod in agreement, Tam speaks first "It was really fun except all the.... stuff that happened to you..." growing a worried expression she asks "What if it happens again?"

Waving that last part off you say "Come on now, we all know that stuff was just a fluke"

This seems to put her a little more at ease but not by much, laugh Jodie says "Well unlike little miss downer over here I had a great time" leaning back she adds "A whole week of relaxation"

Giving her a confused look you ask "You call that relaxing?"

Closing her eyes and smiling she says "Maybe not for you but I didn't need to anything"

Well you can't argue, you did do a lot of heavy lifting. You better get a big cut out of treasure for this. Suddenly the cart stops moving and Jodie lurches forwards, rubbing her head she says "Hey! What's the big idea?!"

Looking over the cart you see a few fallen trees blocking the road. Laughing Sasha yells "Place your bets folks! I have 5 gold on a bandit attack"

Shaking his head Randolf says "Amateurs... they didn't even try to be subtle..."

Yelling out into the distance he says "You can come out now!"

From all around men stand up surrounding the road with bows. From the group a person who is much shorter than the rest steps onto the road. The figure yells at you "Are you kings men or part of the church?!"

>Yes?
>No we’re adventures
>Other

>>32359782
>No we’re adventures

>>32359782
>>No we’re adventures

>>32359782
>No we’re adventures

Looking over his shoulder Randolf says "Hey sweetie, you seem to be good with this stuff so why don't you take the lead"

Sighing you look at the hooded figure "If you're asking if we set people on fire for fun than the answer is no, we're adventures. Also, do you mind losing the hood? Kinda hard to trust you."

Pulling back the hood you see a woman with short curly hair, giving you an impatient look she says "If your adventures prove it"

You give Randolf a look which he takes as his cue, pulling a slip of paper out of his jacket he says "This should prove it"

The woman walks over and takes the paper, after looking at it for a couple of seconds she starts turning paper and her gaze looks like it might drill through it.

Looking at her you ask "ummm need help with that?"

Blushing she says "Why? It's not like I can't read or anything hahaha.....".

Shoving the paper back into Randolf's hand she says "Okay, looks like you guys are safe. Sorry about the this, we've just been having problems with the church"

>What problems?
>Make sure it doesn't happen again
>other

>>32360561
>What problems?

>>32360561
>What problems?

>>32361237
>Sure

>>32360561
>What problems?

Turning back to her men the women yells "It's all clear"

You can feel the wave of relief come off of them as they hear this, pulling off their hoods you see that the group is made up of men ranging from young to old, the youngest of them look to be just older than you.

When she turns back you ask "What problems are you talking about?"

Groaning she says "Well I wouldn't call them problems, more like we're getting our asses kick. I swear ever since this rebellion started we've done nothing but lose"

Giving her a wide eyed look you say "Rebellion!? What are you talking about!?"

Snorting she says "Where have you been for the last month"

As you continue to stare she says "You really don't know do you? Well about a month ago the church had a few botched witch burnings and things only got worst from there. People started to revolt when the church tried to curb unrest with military force, when it started we were able to take a lot of the country side and a few cities" shaking her head she adds "It only took them a few weeks to take back most of it. My squad is holding a town right now but the church around here seems to really want it, they clam there's a witch living there"

Listening to this you can help but feel dizzy "So that's why you set this up? You were wait for the church?"

Nodding the woman says "Yeah but we're barely holding on, if they came at us full force we wouldn't be able to stop them" rubbing her chin she says "Hey I know this is kinda sudden but we could use all the help we can get. Could you help us hold the town, just until reinforcements come. I can fill you in on everything you've missed if you do"

>Sure
>Nope

>>32361300
>Sure
We own a magical city with powerful defenses right? We could use that to become a major player in this rebellion thing.

>>32361357
we could call it witchhaven

>>32361300
>Sure

inb4 they're actually a group of slavers

>>32361300
>Sure

Letting what she said settle for a bit you say "Sure I guess we can help"

As you say this her face lights up "Really? That's great news, looks like our luck is shaping up. Just follow behind us and we'll lead you to town"

Turning to a young boy she says "Bring the horses around"

As she deals with her squad you turn back to your group. Most of them look as shocked as you but Randolf has a grim look on his face "This isn't good... I have a feeling Rob's going to be stuck in this some where"

Chuckling Sasha says "If you expect him to have trouble with this you don't know him as well as you think you do"

Randolf shakes his head "That's not it but I just know he's going to do something stupid"

When the road is cleared of the trees you start moving, following close behind the woman and her squad. Calling out to her you say "Oh, I never got your name"

Still looking forwards she says "Name's Sammy, what's yours kid?"

"Mildred but you can call me Milly"

Giving you a strange look she says "Mildred?"

You sigh "Yeah...."

Shrugging Sammy looks back to the road "Well at lease yours doesn't sound like a boys name, dad wanted a son but got me, refused to change the name...."

Shaking her head she says "Any way, while we're riding what do you want to know about the rebellion?"

>What do you ask her?

>>32361918
How successful is it currently?
You guys close to overthrowing the church or what?

>>32361918
"How do you feel about magic users?"

>>32361918
So... whose winning?
I take it you all have reasons to be fighting the church?
>maybe tell them later we have a magic city and an army of goblins/driders

>>32361918

Thinking for a second you ask "How successful is it so far?"

Rubbing her head Sammy says "Well successful is such relative term but to give it to you short kid we're getting stomped out there. We started off well enough but everything fell apart pretty fast, guess that's what happens when an angry mob tries to fight an army. Now we are trying are best just to hold a few small towns, from the reports I got the last major city we hold is Finchale"

Perking up Randolf says "Finchale?"

Nodding Sammy says "Yep, they're holding on pretty well over there"

At this news he seems to lighten up.

Clearing your throat you say "Okay last question, how do you guys feel about magic users?"

Giving you a confused look she says "I guess they aren't so bad except the church is employing a lot of them in this fight. The light magic is bad enough but from some reports it looks like they're going all out and using different forms of magic as well." spitting she says "Bloody bastards, they used to set people on fire if they used anything but light"

"So what you're saying is...."

Shrugging she says "I guess they aren't so bad as long they're on our team'

As the road curves you can see a town come into view, smiling Sammy says "About time, well this is Albaster in all it's glory"

Drawing closer you can see barricades in front of the town with bowmen stationed. A tall man steps in front of everyone and raises a hand "Halt! State your business"

Rolling her eyes Sammy says "Move out of the way Tom and stop being an idiot"

Mumbling he steps out of way and lets you pass. Once inside Sammy stops her horse and gets off, turning to you she says "You guys are welcome to look around and thank you for your help"

As she walks away you look around from anything interesting. From what you can see there is an inn across from you.

>Go to the inn
>Look around town
>See if you can help someone

>>32362863
>>Go to the inn

>>32362863
>Look around town

>>32362863
>See if you can help someone
>See if you can get those supplies

My strategy: make a good impression and run back to our magic fort. We can do support from there without being in direct danger.

>>32362863
>>Look around town
>>See if you can help someone

>>32362863
>Look around town
>See if you can help someone

Parking the cart and climbing off you say "I'm going to take around town and see if I can help anyone around here"

Nodding Randolf says "Okay, I'm going to see if I can get some supplies. Sasha I want you to go and wipe the defenders into shape a little, if they're as sloppy as that trap I don't think they'll be able to hold out. Sweetie take Tam, Jodie, and Lilith with you, I don't want them getting into trouble. Weston feel free to find anyone in need of healing and Balthasar...."

Smiling Balthasar says "Yeah boss?"

Randolf sighs "Cover the horns and don't do anything, Rylan I want...." looking around he says "Where the hell did he go? Whatever, we know what we're doing so get to it"

Splitting up your group heads in different directions. You decide to head deeper into town to find anyone in need of help. Soon you hear someone yell out "Help me! Anyone!" well that was easy.

Sprinting after the voice you turn into an ally way to see three men holding clubs surrounding a young boy. Calling out you yell "Hey! What are you doing?!"

One of the men turns around and spits at you "This is none of your business, get out of here!"

None of your business? Well you're making it your business.

>Try to scare them off
>Beat them up
>Other

>>32363505
>Beat them up
Make them taste your lightning

>>32363505
>>Beat them up
You just made it my business, *knock out his teeth*.

>>32363505
>>Beat them up
>>Other
"Don't you think there's enough people out there trying to hurt us without you lot ganging up on a young boy.... unless I'm interrupting and you three are into... that"

>>32363505
>Beat them up
DIE MAGGOTS!

>>32363505
>Beat them up

Laughing you say "Looks like you just made it my business. Hey Lilith pass me the shovel"

Giving you a concerned look she passes you her shovel, resting it on your shoulder you say "If you guys stay still this is going to hurt a lot less than if you fight back"

Looking at each other the three men raise their clubs, the first man says "You're going to wish you never stuck your nose into this" raising the club above his head he runs at you.

Yawning you grab the shovels bottom and heft it into his face, stumbling backwards you bring it down on his head causing him to collapse. After seeing him go down the second man charges you. Slamming down on his foot he yells in pain, bringing the shovel up you smack him in chin causing him to spit up a little blood. Punching him gut makes him bend over and he falls to the floor.

Turning your attention to the last man you see he's holding a knife to the boys throat, the man is clearly panicking after seeing his friends go down. Yelling at you he says "Come any closer and I slit his throat!"

Handing the shovel back to Lilith you raise your hands "Hey now, no need for that. See I can't hurt you now so just- BLAM" sending a pressure wave from your hand it hits the man in the chest and throws him into the wall, slumping to the floor he groans.

Smiling you realise that you just successfully beat up three random people and you feel pretty good about it. Looking at the boy you can see he's pretty shaken up about what just happened.

>Ask him what happened
>Take him somewhere
>other

>>32364306
>Ask him what happened
Maybe we should blast him too? I saw him pickpocket our *insert valuable bauble*.

>>32364306
>Ask him what happened

>>32364306
>>Ask him what happened
>>Take him somewhere
continue to search the town, find somebody to clean up the mess we left

>>32364306
>Ask him what happened

You open your mouth to say something but before you can Tam rushes forwards, grabbing the boy she switches between looking him over and hugging him saying "You poor boy, are you hurt anywhere?"

Once Tam lets him go you raise an eyebrow at the boy and ask "You won't know why they were so angry at you would you?"

The boy nods and says "They blame me for what's happening to our town"

"Why would they do that?"

Looking down the boy says "I never knew my mom or dad so I was alone all the time, since I had no one the church said I was a witch and started attacking the town. That's what Sammy says at least"

Looks like he's the scapegoat the church is using. Sigh, looks like they're still using the old tricks.

Smiling at him you say "Well you don't have to worry about that anymore because we're here and we'll take care of your town, now we should probably get out of here before anything else happens. I saw a nice inn before, we could go there"

The boy looks a little reluctant at first but soon follows you, soon you make it back to the inn where you find a empty table. Sitting down at the table you say "So what's your name any ways"

Looking at the table the boy says "Kenith"

Nodding you say "Okay Kenith I still want to know-" before you can finish you hear someone yell "THERE YOU ARE"

Turning you see Sammy walking towards you "I leave the town for one minute and when I come back I can't find you anywhere, what the hell?"

Looking at you see says "I'm sorry for you having to take care of him, I'll take it from here" grabbing him by the arm she pulls him away puffing about how she was scared to death. Before he's pulled away completely he says "Thank you for the save, I'll see you later"

Well that was weird

>Stay in the inn
>Go see if you can find anyone from your group
>Look around town for someone else to help

>>32365114
>Chat up people around town
>Get their opinions on the church and rebellion

>>32365114
>>Go see if you can find anyone from your group
>>Look around town for someone else to help
while we>>32365191

>>32365114

Looking around the inn you see a table with a few men sitting at it talking, looking back to the girls you say "Wait here, I'll be right back" before they can protest you get up and walk towards the table.

As you draw closer you can hear the small amounts of there conversation "It's just not right.... whole worlds going to hell.... we gotta fight".

Sitting at the table they grow silent "I'm sorry to interrupt but I'm new around here so I just wanted to ask about a few thing"

One of the men grumbles "Sure, shoot"

"Okay, what are your opinions on the rebellion?"

In unison the men groan, the first man says "It's bad for business"

A second man adds "It's also annoying having to deal with all the fighting but you got to do what you got to do"

The third man nods "Yep, if we like the church walk all over us we might as well be dead"

Interesting "So what do you think of the church then?"

The third man says "They're way too greedy for their own good"

The second man nods in agreement "If you have something they want they just clam it in the name of the church and you can't do anything about it"

The first man says "Even I got to say they're jerks. Always attacking at the worst times, like when a man is trying to enjoy his drink" raising his glass he adds "I swear if they launch another raid right in the middle of happy hour I'll-"

Before he can finish that sentence someone bursts through the door yelling "Enemy attack! All hands on duty!"

From around the inn the men groan and file out the door.

>Follow them
>See if you can find your group
>other

>>32365966
>See if you can find your group
If we're gonna fight let's fight with pros at our back.

>>32365966
>>Follow them

>>32365966
>>See if you can find your group

>>32365966
>See if you can find your group

Walking over to the girls Tam asks "Milly, are we going to help?"

Nodding you say "Yeah, but we need to find the others before we do anything"

Stepping out of the inn of where everyone would be, Sasha should be at the front lines, Randolf was off getting supplies, Weston went to find any injured people and took Deniece with him, and you don’t even know what Balthasar and Rylan are doing. Sigh, guess you should hunt down Randolf first; he might be able to help find the others.

Following the path that you saw him take the houses start to disappear and tiny shops take their place. Shivering you remember the last time you in a place like this you almost died. Hurrying to locate him you eventually find him standing at a stall. Rushing over to him he smiles at you “Hey sweetie, what’s with the rush?”

Filling him in on the details his face grows darker “We better hurry but I have a feeling the others are already there”

Coming closer to the barricades you can already hear the fighting has started. Diving behind one you take in your surrounds, right now there are about 20 defenders but right now some of them are wound, it looks like Weston has already started to take care of that. Peaking over your cover see 40 men firing crossbows and fighting the rest of the defenders in close combat, Sasha and Balthasar are already fighting at the front; thankfully Balthasar had the good sense not to transform. At the very centre of the defences you can see Sammy trying to direct the defenders.

Looking at the battle Randolf says “It looks like things are going okay right now but we should get in there”

As you count the enemy Sasha jumps behind the same cover as you, a second before a halt of crossbow bolts embed themselves into the wood. Smiling at you she says "Sup kid, how's it going?"

Giving her a strange look you ask "Jeez, what did you do to piss them off so much?"

Sasha shrugs "Don't know, I cut someone in half, insulted their mothers, the usual"

Rolling your eyes you peak over cover again and it doesn't look like the volley of bolts is going to end, in fact it looks like it's just increasing as they keep your side pinned.

From across the battle field Weston yells at you "Hey kid! Can you do something about this?!"

Shrugging at him you say "What am I suppose to do?"

Yelling back he says "I don't know, magic something!"

Oh yeah, that might work. When the oppressing fire subsides slightly you jump from cover firing off lightning a fire balls at the enemy, momentarily they're stunned by this display but it's long enough for your side to start firing back. As the enemy tires to steady themselves again the overwhelming fire from your side completely crushes any retaliation. Soon they are forced back, they look like they want to retreat but the man who must be their commander is keeping them from doing just that. In a last ditch effort you hurl a fireball right at him, hitting him in the chest the man is soon engulfed in flames. At this point his squad decides it's best to run, grabbing their flaming commander the enemy runs away with their tails between their legs.

As they retreat your side erupts into cheering, setting down behind cover again to calm your beating heart you notice Sammy walking towards you.

Putting her hands on her hips she says "Well it looks like your a magic user, I wouldn't have expected in but I guess it makes sense"

Looking up at her you say "I hope that wont be a problem for you"

Laughing she says "Listen, we can take about it later but right now a second wave is coming so stay sharp"

>>32367886
After a few minutes you can see another group of soldiers rushing at your defences but this one is small and is lead by 5 very large men in plate armour, paladins, why did it have to be them?

As they draw closer Sammy stands with her hand raised "Hold men! Wait for them to get closer!"

Surprisingly the defenders actually do as they are told, Sasha must have really gotten through to them.

The enemy draws closer "Hold!"

Closer "Hold!"

Finally they seem to be in range and Sammy brings her arm down yelling "Fire!"

As the volley of arrows fly you decide you might as well add to the wave of death, firing of fire balls they streak behind the arrows. One second the enemy is charging full force at your defences the next half their force is gone, leaving the paladins and a few soldiers.

Even though you may have the upper hand in this you know if those paladins get close it's going to be ugly. Firing off more fireballs one strikes a paladin in the chest sending him flying backwards. After a few seconds your heart sinks as you see him stand back up, these guys must be the real deal.

Leaving their comrades behind the paladins unsheathe their swords and make a full sprint at your lines.

As they draw closer the defenders back up slightly and one of them yells "What the hell is with these guys?! Don't they feel fear!?"

Before they can run Sammy yells "What are you doing you idiots!? We have a real life witch on our team and your going to run just because a couple of morons in shiny armour run at you!"

Now you really need to impress, yelling out to your side you say "We need to keep them away or this is going to get messy". At this every one launches all they have at the 5 attackers. As the arrows pelt them a lucky shot hits one paladin in a unarmoured spot near the neck but the rest of them are unfazed.

Channelling strength into your arm you send out a pressure that hits two of the remaining paladins, the first just tumbles but the second isn't as lucky. Hitting the ground face first he neck bends in a way your sure no one could survive. However, the last two paladins made in to you and hop the barricades, slaughtering anything that gets near. Immediately Sasha and Randolf run out to meet them, keeping them pinned.

>Attack Melee (73)

Unsheathing your daggers you run at the paladin who's back is turned to you. About half way to your target the third paladin that you tripped lands right in front of you. Diving to the side you barely have enough time to avoid his sword, standing up you turn and strike the most intimidating pose you can but when your opponent is three feet taller than you it doesn't really work. His whole face may be covered but you can feel the bloodlust in his gaze as he looks down at you.

Swinging forwards he leaves a nasty slash in the ground where you just were. Dodging a few more slashes you wait for the perfect moment to attack, on one of his strikes he misses and his sword is lodged in a barricade. Taking this as your window of opportunity you quickly move around his side and attack any small gap in his armour but he lets go of the sword and grabs your arm. Before he can do anything though a blinding flash comes from the side and one the paladins legs buckles. The flash returns a second time and paladin falls to his knees, not letting this chance go to waste you stab your dagger into one of the eye slits on his helmet, feeling your dagger sink into something squishy.

As he falls backwards you feel a hand on your shoulder, looking over you Rylan standing there. He gives you a thumbs up and then runs off into the fight. Jeez he's fast, looking over at the fight you see that Sasha and Randolf are still holding off the last two paladins while the rest of the defenders finish off the last of the enemy.

Attack from behind. Hit them in the joints. Back to the knee. Trip them up. Hamstring them. Then, then we can talk. This time we can ask questions and they will have no choice but to answer.

>Attack Melee (76)

Sprinting at the last remaining paladins you close the gab quickly, as you reach the one facing off against Sasha you come in low and cut the back of his knee. Spinning around he wobbles on the leg and brings his sword above his head but before he's able to do anything a large sword cuts him in half, standing there is Sasha.

Grinning at you she says "Thanks for the distraction kid, now lets finish this off"

As you and her surround the last paladin you notice that the battle has gone quite, it seems that your forces were able to deal with the rest.

Holding his sword out in front of him the paladin eyes you all. Surrounding him you say "Give up and we'll let you live"

Laughing he says "I'll rather die than summit to you filthy heathens. Especially a godless witch."

Backing into a corner the paladin holds his ground.

Distract and let your friends subdue him.
"So how many innocent women and children have you killed? Any evidence that they were witches? Or was it eenie meenie minoy moe, this little girl has to go. And now you're here with a real witch and look what happens? You all die. Isn't that sad? Aren't you pathetic?"

>Subdue him

As Sasha and Randolf creep around his sides you keep his attention focused on you "So, I've always wondered how you guys pick and choose the people you burn. Do you draw names from a hat? or is it eenie meenie minoy moe, this little girl has to go?"

Pointing his sword at you he says "You know nothing child! We execute the truly wicked, those that poison the water, curse crops, and brings plagues upon the land"

Raising an eyebrow you say "Really? but what evidence do you have to accuse someone of witch craft. Do you know how many innocent women and children have died because of you idiots?"

Yelling he says "We don't need evidence, if the church has deemed you a heretic than you must be one, the churches word is law!"

Yelling back you say "Really?! Well I meet a paladin before and all he was was a thug in armour who killed innocent women. That's all you do! Delivering god's word? That's nothing but a joke!"

Roaring he rushes forwards but before he can get anywhere Sasha and Randolf pin him to the ground. As he struggles against them you bend down and look into his face "The funny thing is that when you fight a real witch you all end up dead, that's just sad. You claim to be strong but all you really do is pick on those weaker than you"

Standing up you walk away and leave him for your friends to handle. Walking through the battle field you see the defenders rushing back and forth repairing damage that was done and Sammy directing them.

Walking up to her you ask "So, how is everything going?"

Turning around she smiles at you "Great! Thanks to you guys we didn't lose a single person"

Nodding you say "Good, good, we captured one of the paladins so we need a place to put him."

>>32370184
Sammy's smile fades and turning back to her work she says "Stick him the barn with the rest of the animals"

Sighing you ask "Can we just use a room in the inn to hold him?"

Shrugging Sammy says "Sure, knock yourself out. Just make sure he doesn't get out"

Nodding you return to the paladin who is now completely tied up "I just got you better living conditions than a barn so be happy. Also, don't try anything funny or you're dead, got it?"

Struggling he says "You can't hold me! You will feel the churches wrath!"

Sigh, okay there

Flicking him on the nose you say "Bad boy"

Standing up you, Sasha, and Randolf carry him into town while the others clean up. Once you reach the inn you pick a room and toss him in.

After locking the door you turn to the two others "Well I'm pretty much beat so I'm going to find somewhere to sleep"

Choosing a room you stretch and flop onto the bed. Yawning you didn't realise how tired you really were and soon you fall fast asleep.

That's it for tonight guys, see you next time

Nice thread OP. It's damn fun.
