It’s been three days since you took out the majority of the Churches forces in the region and the last few days have been nothing but meetings, celebrating, and generally messing around. Everyone in town doesn't seem to mind the fact that you’re a Witch, mostly because you've saved their asses twice now but still it’s a nice change of pace from being chased with torches and pitchforks. You could get used to this type of thing but sadly the commanders forces are moving out soon.

Stepping out of the inn you stretch your arms towards you sky, blinking the sleepiness from your eyes you look around the street. This village may be smaller than other places you've been to but it still has that busy air to it as people hurry back and forth. Before you can take a step forward a small boy rushes up to you carrying a roll of paper.

Beaming at you he says “Message for you Miss. Witch”

Taking the paper you open it and it reads “Mildred, your presence is required at the town hall by the order of Commander RadCliff. Please make your way there at your earliest convenience”

Sigh, looks like another meeting today.

>Better head over there
>It can wait

>>33146968
Head over there.
FYI, this is the only post I'll be able to make for about 2 hours

>>33146968
>Better head over there

>>33146968
>Head over there

Rolling the paper up and putting it into your bag you pat the boy on the head "Thanks kid"

Stepping out onto the street you weave pass the crowd towards the town hall. You make it there quickly and you notice that they've doubled down on the guards, probably because they're holding the paladin and wizard here. Walking towards the door one of the guards spots you, opening the door he bows his head slightly "Morning Ma'am". Ha, You can get used to this.

As you enter the building someone calls out "Milly! Over here!"

Turning your head you see Tam standing there with Jodie waving her arm wildly. Walking up to them you ask "What's going guys?"

Jodie shrugs "No idea, for some reason they wanted to talk with the magic users in our group, Weston and Lilith are already in the meeting room" point back to Tam she adds "This ones just nosey and decided to follow me"

Pouting Tam says "Hey, we're a team. I have a right to be here"

Before they can start bickering you clear your throat "Doesn't matter. Now that I'm here we should get going"

You've been in this place so many times in the last few days that know it like the back of your hand so it isn't surprising when it only takes you a minute to find the right room. Opening the door you see Weston, Sammy, and Commander RadCliff standing around a table as Lilith stands on her toes trying to see over the top.

Looking towards you the Commander pulls his cigar out of his mouth "Aw nice of you to make it"

>Good morning commander
>You called?
>Other

>>33148279
you called?

>>33148279
>Good morning commander

>>33148279
>>Good morning commander

>>33148279
You called?

>for some reason they wanted to talk with the magic users in our group

This sets of my paranoia senses. Might be nothing, but be ready to blast/stab/run at a moments notice.

>>33149632
Changing my vote to-

>Good morning commander

Just to break the stalemate.

>>33148279
>Good morning commander

Smiling you say "Good morning commander"

He grunts in reply and waves his hand towards a chair "Please have a seat"

As you get settled the commander looks at everyone assembled and clears his throat "As you all know the main reason for my forces being here was to pacify the surrounding country side" pausing for a second he continues "thanks to your efforts we were able to complete that mission and now we plan to move to Finchale but there is something that needs to be taken care of before that" he takes a long drag for his cigar then continues "since the last fight we've taken prisoners, most are regular soldiers which are easy to handle. However we also have a paladin and a wizard, I want you to help me decide what to do with them."

Without hesitation Weston speaks out "We should kill them both"

Gasping Tam says "We can't just kill them, that's horrible!"

Looking a little uneasy Jodie adds "Yeah, don't you think you're being a little too harsh"

With a serious look you haven't seen on him ever he says "Not at all, they're too dangerous to be left alive. If they managed to escape they could do some serious damage"

Nodding her head Sammy says "I would rather not keep them alive. Less of a danger that way"

Piping up Lilith says "If we do kill them I call their skeletons"

As the table continues to argue you think to yourself about the possibilities of both options when you feel a hand on your shoulder.

Looking up you see the commander standing behind you "Looks like you're the tie breaker kid"

>Kill them
>Let them live

>>33150003
>Kill them

"The wizard is a skilled magic user. You think you could hold me prisoner for long? How many do you think I could kill if I wanted to?

Don't worry Tam, we won't burn them or anything sick like they do to us. We'll make it quick and painless."

>>33150003
>Kill them

Leaning back in your chair you think for a minute "They posse to much of a risk, we should probably get rid of them"

Staring at you in disbelief Tam says "Milly we should at least give them a chance"

Shaking your head you say "Tam the risk is too big"

"But-"

Before she can continue you cut her off "Tam think for a second, the wizard is a skilled magic user. What happens if he decided to escape?"

"But you could talk to him. You could make him listen"

Sighing you ask "And if he doesn't?"

She looks like she's at a lost for words. Leaning forwards you add "Do you think you could hold me prisoner for long?"

Thinking for second she says "No. Not really"

Nodding you say "Same goes for the wizard. Do you know how many people I could kill if I wanted to, he posses he same danger."

"But.. but" looking down she asks "How would we .... get rid of them?"

Patting her on the shoulder you say "Don't worry, we won't burn them or anything sick like they do to use. We'll make it quick and painless"

Turning to the commander you say "I think we've reached a decision"

Nodding the commander says "Looks like you have. I'll send word out, you're free to go now"

Slowly everyone gets up and exits except you and Tam. As everyone is leaving you can over hear Lilith say "Sweet free skeletons"

After everyone has left you get up and start to make your out but before you leave you see Tam looking down.

>Cheer her up
>Give her some space
>Catch up with the others

>>33150872
Give her some space

>>33150872
>Cheer her up

Give her a hug. I think she needs a hug.

>>33150872
>Cheer her up

hugs fix everything

>>33150872
>Cheer her up

Sitting down next to Tam you say "I probably know the answer but what's got you down"

Looking over to you briefly she says "I understand what you're saying but I just... I don't like killing"

Exhaling loudly you say "I hear you. I don't like it much either"

Putting an arm around her shoulder you give her a smile "But lets forget about that now. Hey! You want to go do something fun?"

Giving you a confused look she asks "What do you mean?"

Standing up you pull her out of her chair "Follow me! Adventure awaits!"

As she yells "Hey! Hold on!"

Not looking back you say "Not listening, fun now"

>Take her to the training grounds
>Go to the blacksmith
>Go to the Alchemy shop

>>33151689
There was a few days time skip since the last thread, did we finish our broom?

>Take her flying

>>33151745
Well everyone wanted the broom and we did get one last thread so yes.

Rolled 2, 6, 3, 2, 3 = 16

>>33151789
Cool, ask her if she wants to go flying then.

inb4 she's scared of heights.

In that case, take her to the Alchemy shop.

>>33151689
>Take her flying

With Tam in hand you make your way through the crowd until you reach the inn. Pushing the the door open you rush up stairs to your room, pulling Tam inside she asks "Can you finally tell me what you're doing?"

Smiling you say "Hold on, you're going to love this"

Rushing over to your closet you pull out a broom.

Giving you a confused look Tam asks "Do you want to clean your room? I mean I'll do it but still..."

Laughing you say "Just watch"

Placing the broom on the floor you pull out the scroll of flying and begin to chant, soon the scroll starts to light up and in a bright flash it crumbles in your hand. After a few seconds the broom begins to float and a purple energy floats out the back.

>Lost one scroll of flight
>Gained one flying broom

Looking dumbfounded Tam asks "What did you do?"

Hoping onto the broom you pull Tam on as well "Don't worry about it, this is going to be great"

Tam looks like she's going ask you something else but before she can you blast through the open widow. Hugging you tight she yells "NOT GOOD, NOT GOOD"

Laughing you look back "Oh don't be such a baby"

>Fly around town
>Take her out into the country side
>Other

>>33152256
>Take her out into the country side

Seeing the country side seems nice. If there's any areas of natural beauty around, visit them. Like a nice waterfall or something.

>>33152256
>Take her out into the country side

>>33152256
>Take her out into the country side

Soaring over town Tam buries her head in your back "PUT ME DOWN, PUT ME DOWN, PUT ME DOWN."

Staring ahead you yell "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, THIS IS AMAZING"

Thinking for a second you yell again "Hey! I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING"

Turning left you head past the boarder of town into the surrounding country side.

"WHERE ARE YOU GOING!"

"JUST WATCH!"

Increasing speed you fly closer to the ground, with the wind wiping through your hair you zoom along the country side.

>Take it slow
>Time for some tricks
>Find somewhere to touch down

>>33152979
>Take it slow

Don't scar her (too much), just let her enjoy the view.

>>33152979
>Take it slow
She's scared enough

>>33152979
>Take it slow

Pulling up you slow the broom down to a much softer pace. Looking behind you see Tam is still holding on for dear life and has her eyes clamped shut.

Smiling you say "You can look up now"

Slowly pulling away from you she opens her eyes and looks around "Woah, this is actually kinda nice"

"Told you, now come on there's more I want to show you". Banking to the right you follow a river near by, getting low enough you stick your hand out and touch the water's surface.

Laughing you say "Come on, you try"

A little hesitant Tam does the same. After a few seconds she starts giggling, looks like she's feeling better. Pulling away you spend the next few hours flying over trees, through fields, and enjoying the open air. Soon you notice the sun is starting set, must be getting late.

>Head back to town
>Stay out more

>>33153617
>Stay out more

Find a clearing and make a camp fire? Watch the stars for an hour?

>>33153617
Headback

>>33153617
>Stay out more
More alone time with Tam.

>>33153617
>Stay out more

It is getting late... but screw that, you promised that you were going cheer Tam up and you're going to keep that promise. Looking around you spot the perfect place to set down.

Flying over you turn to Tam and say "We're landing now"

Nodding vigorously she says "Yes, ground is good"

Touching down you let Tam step off and then cut the energy to the broom. Standing up straight your back and turn to Tam "So? How was it?"

Digging her foot into the ground she says "It was... interesting but I think I'm going to stay on the ground for the next few days."

Snorting to reply "What's the fun in that?"

Taking a few moments to looking around Tam asks "What do you want to do now?"

Shrugging you say "Lets stay out and watch the stars for a little bit"

After collecting some materials you lit a small fire and lay down near it as Tam does the same. Looking up at the sky Tam says "Hey Milly"

"Yeah?"

"What are we going to do from now on?"

Giving her a confused look you say "I thought we were watching stars"

Laughing Tam says "No I mean what about our future, we can't do what we're doing now for the rest of our lives"

Shrugging you say "Well first we get rid of the church but after that... I guess we live our lives"

>>33154945

Suddenly from behind you hear a voice say "Or you charm yourself a wealthy lord and be set for the rest of your life"

Sitting up and spinning around you see an all too familiar succubus. Pulling out a dagger you say "What hell are you doing here?"

Putting her hands on her hips Pran gives you a glare "What? Just because we fought before and I just happen to be here means I can't simply be enjoy a nice night like this"

Giving her a look Prans face bursts into a smile, laughing she says "Okay, Okay, so I was following you but I wanted to tell you something important"

Raising an eyebrow you ask "What is it?"

Clearing her throat she crosses her arms "Beware"

After a few seconds of silence you say "Beware of what?"

Wagging her finger she says "Can't tell you. Secret"

Looking at her in disbelief you say "Really? You came all this way just to tell me that? And you wont even explain it to me?"

Nodding she says "Yep, oh look at the time, better be going" standing up she unfurls her wings "One more thing before I go, step off Balthasar, that ones mine" with that she launches into the air and disappears from sight.

Sighing you sit down again, well it looks like your evening is ruined now.

Standing up Tam says "Well that was weird. I think we should head back now."

Nodding you put out the fire and collect the broom. The flight back is quick as you head straight for town, coming in for a landing people gawk at you as you touch down in front of the inn. Climbing the stairs you and Tam part ways and head to your rooms.

Entering you crash on your bed and after a few restless minutes you doze off to sleep. Your sleep is rather uneventful and eventually your woken up by a knocking at your door, sitting up you look out side and see the sun is high in the sky. Pushing the covers away you walk over to the door and open it, standing in front of you is Randolf wearing a huge grin.

>>33154962
Giving him a suspicious look you ask "What is it?"

Smiling even bigger he says "We're moving out today and heading for Finchale. I'm here to tell you that you have few hours to get ready"

Well truthfully you don't have much to pack so your already okay to go. Nodding you say "Sure I'll be ready soon"

As he walks away you clearly see him do a little dance, guy must really miss home. Well you have a few hours to do what ever you want.

>Head to the blacksmith
>Go to the training grounds
>Find someone to talk to

>>33154984
>Head to the blacksmith

>>33154984
>Head to the blacksmith

Walking down the hall you decide not bother Tam and let her sleep off yesterday. As you descend the stairs you see that the celebration is in full circle again, probably enjoying the fact that they're all not dead.

Smiling and shaking your head you weave your way pass the crowd and out the door, stepping into the street you're about to be on your way when you are stopped by a man wearing the commanders crest.

Looking you up and down the man asks "Are you Mildred?"

Nodding you ask "Is there something the commander wants?"

Shaking his head the man says "No but he wanted me to ggive you this before we moved out"

As the place a purple sack in your hand you ask "What is it?"

Clearing his throat the man says "For services rendered to the rebellion you are awarded 60 silver pieces to do with however you choose"

Looking at him in surprise you say "Really!? Well tell the commander thank you"

Nodding he says "Will do" and walks away. Nice payment.

>Gain 60 silver pieces

As you're putting the money away Jodie walks up to you and smiles "You got your pay too?"

"Yep, what are you doing?"

Shrugging Jodie says "Nothing much , you?"

"I was just heading over to the blacksmith"

Thinking for second she says "Neat, I'll come with"

You're about to say something else when you hear laughing behind you. Turning around you Balthasar walking towards you. "Haven't seen you in a while, maybe you can buy me a gift to make up for it."

>>33156735

Raising an eyebrow you ask "Didn't you get paid as well"

Pointing to his feet he says "Already blew it"

Looking down you see isn't of his regular shoes he's wear a pair of fancy military boot, steel lined, red leather, the works. Looking back up in disbelief you say "You spent 60 silver on shoes?"

Looking a little hurt he says "Hey, they're very nice shoes, made from baby cow leather I think..."

Putting your head into your hand you say "Fine, you can come with us. But don't break anything"

Walking away he skips next to you beaming "Can I get a crossbow?"

Shaking your head you say "No, I'm not buying anything for you"

Looking a little down he follows behind you, soon you make it to a building with a high chimney bellowing out smoke, and the sound of clanking metal coming from inside. Walking in you see a large man hammering away at a piece of metal but he doesn't even acknowledge your presence. After standing awkwardly in the store for a few seconds you clear your throat loudly.

Looking up briefly he says "What do you want?"

>Can we see what you have for sale
>What are you working on
>Nothing

It's getting pretty late guys so I'm going to end the thread for now. I'll coming probably on the weekend, see you then.
