You are the TEMPLAR, a holy knight sent to clear the frontier of monsters and heresy!

Currently, you were leading your party up in the mountains to hunt down a particularly large Manticore that had taken up residence there. Fortunately, this was a private request from your own Templar Order and not an official quest from the Guild, so running into rival adventurers or anybody from Eisenwand likely wouldn't be a problem.

However, mountainous terrain and heavy armor really did not mix all that well. In addition to having to carry extra weight uphill, but the uneven terrain and sheer drops meant that falling over to your potential death was always a constant risk.

Not that you were particularly afraid, though. But risks always had to be considered. At least the rest of your party didn't seem too troubled by the terrain. Niko and Naru seemed used to the difficult trek, while Morgan was going out of her way guiding Nino through the paces while Romulus followed close behind.

You decide not to intervene. After all, new experiences were best taught at a young age, and it would be better in the long run that Nino learn how to traverse such difficult terrain.

"Maaaan, this is going nowhere fast." Niko sighs and leaps over you to get to the front with catlike grace. "I'll go scout ahead and quicker path!"

Before you or anybody else even has a chance to protest, Niko is already gone, shuffling through the rocks almost unseen.

"Pretty damn excitable." Naru grumbles as she wipes some sweat from her forehead. "Gonna get her killed someday."

"Awwwww, but I think she's fun!" Nino protests.

"There's fun and there's living long enough to collect the quest reward." Naru grunts.

"You're just jealous because you don't have awesome ninja skills like her!" Nino sticks her tongue out.

"As if." Naru rolls her eyes, though you get the feeling from the way she paused that Nino's words did sting her a little.

"All right, all right, I think the heat is getting to all of us." Morgan sighs as she leads the rest of the group to a shaded area under a rocky outcropping. "How about we take a quick break until Niko comes back?"

"Okay!" Nino nods.

"About time." Naru groans as she collapses onto a rock, exhaling loudly as her heavy pack jingles.

Romulus barks happily as lays down in the shade, panting loudly to cool down.

"You all stay here. I'll secure the perimeter." Morgan says as she slinks off as she was wont to do.

You walk over to Naru, who was basically sprawled on the ground, looking more like a corpse than your party cleric. You kneel down and poke her side to make sure she was actually still alive.

"Keep doing that and I'll amputate that hand." Naru grumbles, still face down.

Romulus yips at Naru for her threat against you. You hold your hand up to Romulus to silence him.

"Jeez, I forgot how rough just getting to the damn quest location could be." Naru sighs. "It never gets any easier."

You nod in agreement and sit down next to her. You point to her heavy pack, worn with time and use, as well as all the various items it must have carried in the past.

"Yeah... I guess you can say I've been around the adventuring block." Naru sighs as she finally sits up straight. "Back then, when Eisenwand had just been built, there was a huge adventuring rush as people flocked to the Frontier for what they thought was easy pickings for loot. You had all kinds of people, like those crusaders who wanted to spread Sol's word..."

She eyes you specifically at that.

"...people looking to strike it rich quick, and others who just wanted some cheap land to set up a farm."

You point to Naru, wondering which one of those she was.

"Heh." Naru smiles with a combination of bitterness and nostalgia. "I guess you could say I was a little of the first two. Just a dumb and naive kid who thought she could strike it rich out here. Every party always needs a healer, you know, and high demand means high profits."

You dig into your own back and take out a flask, filled with some finer alcohol that you had gotten your hands on. You figured having a little bit of it around on you would come in handy some day. You pop off the cap and hand it over to Naru.

"Really?" Naru blinks.

You nod.

"Well, thanks..." Naru takes the flask from your hand and takes a pull. "You know, I was just a dumb kid back then, thinking just one good adventure would set me up for life."

Naru sighs and leans back against the rock, taking another sip from the flask.

"But once you get one adventure done and get your loot... suddenly there's all these expenses you gotta pay off. Magical reagents, better weapons and armor, food, board, and all this other shit that eats away at your wallet. And then... well, in order to stay afloat you after go on another quest, and another, and another..."

Naru takes one last swig, basically emptying the flask in one go.

"And you're basically just stuck in that loop. You can't escape. If you stop, how else will you make a living?" She smiles bitterly.

You shrug and point to yourself. You come out here because you have a purpose. You point to Nino, who was busy playing with Romulus. She came out here to because she simply loved the idea of adventure. It was probably the same with Niko and Morgan to an extent as well.

"Heh, you don't have to go out of your way to say I'm the odd one out in this party of misfits." Naru chuckles. "But hey, maybe things will turn out differently this time."

For your sake, you hope they do.

"YO!" Niko drops in, a big smile on her face. "I found it!"

You immediately stand up, your interest gained.

"It's just a few kilometers away, apparently hunting." Niko grins. "If we go now, we can hit it while it's in the open!"

"Or, we can just track it back to its den and corner it there." Morgan says as she slinks into view, her ears twitching. "Manticores are big and fast, and if we trap it in its den, it can't use its speed as an advantage."

Hm, well, both approaches had their merits...

If the thing is hunting what are the chances that it will hurt someone before we manage to take him out? I would rather wound it and then go after him.But if there isn't no human settlement nearby then just go to it's lair.

You nod to Morgan, since she was the more experienced hunter, you'd defer to her idea.

"Thanks." Morgan smiles. "You guys can stay here. I'll keep tracking it and let you know where it's den is."

Hm, looks like Morgan was going off by herself again. While you would like to follow her to make sure she wouldn't get in trouble, you did realize you were not the stealthiest of individuals. Niko could be a better pick pragmatically, but you had the feeling the two didn't quite get along with each other just yet.

Either way, both of you couldn't go. At least one of you had to stay behind to keep an eye on Nino and Naru. At his small size, Romulus could only do so much.

You pick up Romulus and gingerly hand him over to Morgan.

"Heh, I guess you want someone to keep an eye on me?" Morgan grins as she gladly takes Romulus from our hands. The little pup then licks her face. "Well, if you insist..."

And with Romulus in two, Morgan grabs her bow, puts up her hood, and slinks out of the cave.

"What a weirdo." Niko sighs.

"Join the club." Naru grunts.

Nino just hums as she reads a book about Manticores.

"Sooooooooooo." Niko sits next to you with a smug smile. "I notice you and Morgan seem really friendly with each other."

You nod. Indeed you were.

"You know." Niko frowns. "When you just nod like that, I'm honestly not sure if you're agreeing to my words on their face or if you're actually understanding what I'm implying."

You cock your head, curious as to what she was getting at.

"Ugh, okay, guess I gotta be blunt about this." Niko groans and leans in closer to you, obviously aware of Nino's proximity and intending to keep what she's about to say out of her ears. "Are you two fucking or something?"

Your punishment is swift and true, your armored finger flicking straight into Niko's forehead so quickly that even her ninja reflexes couldn't catch it.

"Owwwwwwww!" Niko whines, recoiling and rubbing her forehead. "I take that as a no?"

You simply just shrug. You weren't really certain yourself.

"I'm not sure if you're being serious or ironic." Niko groans. "Jeez, it's surprisingly really hard to talk to a guy who doesn't talk back!"

You shrug again.

"No fun at all." Niko pouts.

That's when Morgan swoops in, Romulus yapping at her heels. She pulls her hood off to reveal a predatory smile.

You stand up, halberd in hand. You intentions were clear.

"All right." Morgan grins. "Follow me."

As always, you all leave your noncombat gear at your little camp and follow Morgan's lead to the Manticore den. She brings you up to a cave entrance, the area in front littered with the bones and partially eaten carcasses of various local wildlife. Manticores were carnivores, after all.

However, there was no sign of the creature itself. No doubt it was still residing deep inside the den.

"Any intel on the inside?" Naru asks.

"Sorry, no. There' even limits to what I'm willing to do." Morgan shakes her head. "It'll smell me the moment I enter."

"Fair enough." Naru nods.

"So, do we just charge in and whack it to death?" Niko asks.

"Or you can lure it out and I can explode it!" Nino says happily.

Nope, no debate or special plans here. Your course of action was simple. Charge in and face the beast head on.

"Oh boy, I know that look." Naru sighs as she steps back. "Better go back him up, Niko. Morgan and Nino won't be much good in that narrow cave.

"Well, not like I was gonna bail or anything!" Niko laughs.

You and Niko charge into the den, the only sound being the clanking of your armored boots on the stone floor.

However, in the murky darkness, you see a flash of movement and begin to attempt to guard against the inevitable attack. Thankfully, though, Niko is faster, tossing a trio of throwing knives at the Manticore's lunging scorpion tail. While the armor around the tail repels the knives, the sudden attack causes the Manticore to instinctively draw back its tail, sparing you from its hit.

And there, in front of you was the Manticore. A massive lion-like beast with a scorpion tail. Unfortunately, it wasn't old enough to have sprouted its wings yet, which was a bit of a shame. However, beggars couldn't be choosers. This beast would be slain regardless.

"Ugh, so how are we gonna handle this?" Niko grimaces as the Manticore unleashes a mighty roar, assaulting you with hot, stinky breath and spittle.

Maybe if we can somehow pin it in place, or bury it under rock we can immobilize it.

Well, you sensed there was only one way to do this. You point to Niko and then to the tail.

"So you want me to keep the tail pinned?" Niko grins. "Got it!"

Meanwhile, you face down the main body of the beast itself, its sharp teeth and claws bared at you as the grip on your halberd tightens.

You decide to take aim at the Manticore's legs in an effort to impair its mobility. Get it to move slower. You charge at the beast's front legs, each as thick as a tree truck with claws the size of large daggers.

Meanwhile, Niko zips and leaps around, seemingly bouncing around the cave like a rubber ball, distracting and attacking the Manticore's scorpion tail.

You and Niko both charge in, the Manticore is having none of it. It spins its whole body around, sweeping its tail in a wide arc like a flail rather than the traditional thrust to use its stinger. The swing catches both you and Niko by surprise, flinging the both of you out of the cave.

Niko manages to land back on her feet with catlike grace, apparently only merely being winded. You manage to stay on your feet as well, but the force of the tail was enough to shove you out of the cave, your boots grinding against the rock.

"Are you okay?!" Morgan asks as she raises her bow.

You nod, but keep your attention on the cave mouth. The initiative was now in the Manticore's paws. Would it stand and fight to the last? Or would it try to break through your little blockade to freedom?

Well, you'll find out soon enough as the Manticore comes bounding out of the cave and straight at you...
