The forest. It may be more dangerous, bandits and such, but the town'll be looking for us.

>>31086324
Let's go to the forest. Maybe we can get some ingredients for Tam

>>31086324
>Right
Eh, sounds like a cool place.

>>31086324
Thinking you say. "We should avoid heavly populated areas for now, the forest may be a little more dangerous in some ways but it should be safer in others."

Tam frowns. "I understand but the forest is just so.... creepy"

Patting her on the back you say. "Don't worry, I've got your back plus you might be able to find some supplies for your Alchemy in there" This causes her to perk up a little but she still looks uneasy.

turning the cart to the left you head into the forest. Soon the sky is hidden from your sight by great trees, the forest gives you an strange feeling but it seems to be ok. Not long after you enter you come across a broken cart with a man and young boy standing by it. The man turns and waves at you.

>Stop to check it out
>Drive by it
>Other

>>31086616
>Stop to check it out
Might as well help if we can, though I doubt either girl is very good at fixing carts.

>>31086616
Hah. This is the most classic bandit trap
Be wary.

>>31086713
Sorry, meant to write "help him, but have a fireball scroll at the ready"

>>31086752
>Stop to check it out
this

>>31086616
Looking at the sight you worry. "Maybe we should pass them"

Frowning Tamzen looks at you. "What are you talking about, we have to help them"

Sign, fine "But I swear if this is a trap...". Pulling up to the cart you ask "What seems to be the problem?"

Smiling the man says "Thank you, it looks like our wheel came off, do you mind helping me reattach it?"

Eagerly Tamzen jumps off and walks towards the cart, signing you do the same. After a while of effort you finally manage to put the wheel back. Wiping your brow you turn to go until you hear "Well, well, well what do we here?"

Standing infront of your cart are three men with swords drawn. The man you helped turns pale and stammpers out "We..we did what you wanted so let us go"

One man, maybe their learder scraches his chin "Well it doesn't seem that they have much but they are a couple of pretty young galls, I guess you can go"

With that the man grabs the boy and runs

The leader syas. "Well now what to do with you?"

Looking at the men, then back to Tamzen, then back to the men you say. "Tam, guess what I'm going to say"

With a look of confusion she says. "What?"

"I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO". With that you unslip your dagger from your belt and leap at the closest man, burying your dagger deep into the poor man's neck blood pours out. The other men are left in a state of surprise but that quickly wears off as you swing at them.

The leader Growls a bit and then yells. "You crazy bitch, you're going to pay for that"

>Close combat (92)

Standing there squaring off against the men you suddenly drop your guard and raise your hand, pointing behind the men you a look of horror. You yell "WHAT IN THE BLOODY HELL IS THAT THING"

Quickly looking behind them the bandits see nothing, as they turn you're alreay on the one next to the leader, punching him in the throat and leaving your dagger stuck into his eye. As the men falls to the floor screaming in agony the leader swings at you, you block the blow and let in glance off. As he trys to recover you swip at his arm causing him to drop his blade. He stands there dumbfound and smile spreads to his face "What you gonna do kill m..."

Before he can finish the sentence you kick him squarely in the nats. Dropping to floor the man rolls in pain and holds his privates.

>Combat completed

>Question the man
>kill him
>other

>>31087480
The scrolls work in a one pop deal. They don't have the method of the spell on them, you just activate the scroll, and boom.

>>31087480
Scrolls work by trapping a spell with in them and then filling them with magic to release that spell. You need a spell book to learn spells, but if you know a spell you can make the scroll for it

>>31087490
Question him. Also: owwww

>>31087490
Kill them all. Nobody will miss a few bandits.

>>31087490
>Question the man

>>31087623

>>31087646
I don't trust what he has to say in the first place. And I don't want them to buy any time. I think it's better to seize the moment. They already pretty much hate us, lets put an end to them.

>>31087680
toss him in the cart and question him on the go

>>31087716
Bleh, I'd rather keep a knife to his throat.

>implying i wont rough you up nienbro

>>31087490

Picking up the writhing men you slam him into the cart. Putting on the scariest face a 16 year-old girl can muster you yell. "ARE YOU ALONE"

Crying slighty the man says. "N..no there are more of us in the woods"

"HOW MANY"

"Like 15 or so, we we're just a scouting party sent out"

"WHERE'S YOUR CAMP"

"In the woods, near a waterfal, I swear, that's all I can tell you, I swear to god"

Yelling even louder you say "SWEAR TO ME"

Dropping the man he begins to cry, wow you're actually pretty good at this.

>Kill him
>Leave him
>Tie him up and take him with us

>>31087730

>>31087758
Tie him up. We bondage now.

>>31087758
>Tie him up and take him with us

>>31087758

Grabbing the man and some rope you bind his hands and feet, putting a gag on him as the finishing touch you toss him into the back of your cart.

"What are we going to do with him" asks Tamzen

"When we get to the next town we're going to hand him over to the guards"

Walking over to the two bodies you grab one of their swords and toss it to Tam. "Here, use it to defened yourself"

"O..ok but I've never swung a sword before"

Sighing you say. "Well you're just going to have to try"

Looking over the men you find 17 silver coins in total and a map of the forest. It says that there are three exists to the forest, the one you just came from, one to the east, and one to the north

Where to?
>East
>North
>other

>>31088087
The one we just came from. We have bandits. Going through the forest means more bandit troubles. There was a city on the other end of that fork.

>>31088087
Look for a waterfall, take the exit-route that's furthest away from it, and not backwards. If we can't see a waterfall, try to get a sense of the general terrain - the waterfall will obviously not be in a flat part of the forest.

Turning the cart around you hightail it out of there. As you speed along the forest eventually recedes and turns back into the dirt road you were on, soon you see the sign come into view and you turn down the path leading into the town. As you draw closer you see farms and small buildings come into sight, hmm dainty place.

Soon you make it to the centre of the small town and stop outside the guard house. Dragging the bandit inside the guard sitting at a table looks up with confusion.

"What's this all about?"

"Oh nothing, I was just dropping off some trash I picked up"

The guard looks the bandit up and down "Hmm from the forest bandits I guess, been getting a lot of issues from these jerks, thanks for the help"

Walking over and grabbing the man the guard hands you a small purse of coins. Nodding you leave. Now that that's over what to do?

oh, I thought we were actually shackled in the first thread (as a prisoner), and for some reason formed an emotional attachment to the shackles, such that we keep on putting on them on and taking them off regularly.
This (its a satchel) makes a lot more sense.

>>31088490

Walking around town a little bit you see a man standing on a box yelling to the passing people. "BEWARE, LOCK YOUR DOORS AT NIGHT, HOLD YOUR CHILDREN CLOSE, AND DO NOT LEAVE YOUR LIVESTOCK UNATTENDED"

Walking next to a man standing and listening you ask. "What's he going on about?"

Shrugging the man says. "At that big city close by they had a witch escape" Darn, you were hoping news wouldn't have gotten this far, guess you'll have to keep Tam close.

The man turns to you and grins "but that witch would have to be mad to come here"

"Why's that?" you ask

"Our local Paladin is the best their is, he's already caught three of the magic bitches"

You blink in suprise "Three!?"

"Yep, he's just that good"

This could be dangerous. What's are plan of action.

"Well that's impressive but if you excuse me..."

Hearing the news of this Paladin you think a tactical retreat is in order,grabbing Tam's arm you power walk towards the cart and get on, As you're leave you come across a group of guards gearing up lead by the guard you talked to at the jail. Seeing you he waves and says "Well if it an't the little miss that brought it that baddy for us, thanks to you we got some news about those brats. Hey do you want to come with us and help, your cart could be a good transport for us, what do you say?"

>Sure

>>31088960

there is only one paladin in town.

I want to say nope, but that would be suspicious. But going with puts us at great risk.
I guess we could ask for more info about what they need us to do.

>>31088914
Sure. We need to get rid of those bandits anyway.

>>31088914
Question: where all those witches killed or are they or just one still alive in the jail?

Also: take the guards. They have good info.

>>31088914

>Sure

"Sure, I guess it couldn't hurt"

The lead guard smiles and say "Mighty obliged miss"

As the guards pile on you're about to go but before you can the lead says to stay, waiting a minute another figure steps out of a building and your heart skips a beat. It's the Paladin clad in his full plate armour, as he walks over and steps onto the cart in drops a little bit. Well this is going to be fun you think to yourself. Pulling away you head to the forest.

Talk the to guards about the bandits. We heard there were 15 from the one we subdued. Also we should mention that we killed a few others and the old man and young boy who did the routine to bait us.

>>31089231
Well I guess if you set someone on fire their isn't really much to ask

>>31089193
>>31089257
Don't do this. Talking to the guards is safer. The paladin has reason to suspect silent girls traveling alongside guards. It's better to make out to be adventurers and focus their minds on the bandits than to be quiet and tense.

>>31089156
Talk to them, we need info, and staying quiet is pretty suspicious

>>31089156
Talk to the guards about the bandit menace. It's safer to direct their attentions that direction. If they ask who we are, we'll say we're travelers who want to see the world.

>>31089156
>Talk to the guards
So your this paladin some of the towns folk are talking about, what do you think about these bandits? They tried to rob us but we got away and came to this town. Lucky we now got some strong guards to get us through now.

>>31089289
you are right, changing my vote from riding in silence to talking.
Just steer the conversation the way you want it to go and give firm answers where needed.

Talking is better.

If they ask about our wagon and wares, we should say there was this girl alchemist with a man someplace back who sold it to us cheap. She seemed really nice and like she was in a hurry somehow. She said something about how she's closing down shop and just needed to move on with her life. Maybe we can use the church story we used to get on the ship if they ask what our motives were for traveling.

>>31089156
>Talk to the guards/silence

Driving the cart up the road you are too afraid to make a peep as the steel giant sits in the back. You only hope that no one will notice how much you're sweating right now. The lead guard looks over to you. "So why don't you tell us about yourselves"

Slightly shocked by this you say. "Oh, well I'm a student of the church and I was just travelling with my cousin here"

"Huh where you from?"

"Oh just a town near Byhollow, ummm can I ask, why is the town Paladin coming with this raid"

The Paladin looks up slightly "There was reports of a magic user in the bandit camp, I'm here to deal with it"


"Oh....." The rest of ride is quite. Finally you stop at the place where you left the dead bandits, some small animals have already started to pick at them.

End of the cart everyone stands around the Captain "Ok, here's the game plan, we're going to split up into two groups, some with me and the others with the Paladin, oh ladies who would you like to go with?"

>The Paladins group

>>31089461

>>31089486

>The Captains

>>31089486
Captains, hands down. No way we're doing the paladin vs spellcaster fight. We can be good little churchgoers and stay away from scary magics.

>>31089486
wait... you want us to fight?
My cousin doesn't know how to fight, at all. I mostly got lucky against the bandits who were trying to rape rather then kill me and didn't expect me to have a dagger hidden

>>31089506
Well we have alchemical stuff on us right now. The point is that IF they ask about it we say we got it off of this alchemist someplace back and make them think Tamzen is someplace else. If they ask us what they looked like we should just make a show of having trouble remembering it like a charm or suggestion that was put on us.

We DONT want them to ask "what are you do with this magical stuff" and have to go "oh uhhh... it's not magical, trust us, we're alchemists!" and immediately become suspicious.

>>31089486
>The Paladins group
This guy should draw all the fire so we don't have to do anything magical

>>31089631
OR, we don't show them the magical stuff at all?

Anyone else tempted to join the paladin's group to orchastrate a little accident for him during the fight?

... actually, what ARE our powers?

>>31089486

Stammering you say "Oh I thought that you just wanted us to show you around, my cousin doesn't know how to fight"

The Captain raises an eyebrow "You killed three armed men by yourself with a dagger"

Looking down you say. "I got lucky"

Patting you on the head the captain smiles "Don't worry little miss, I'll keep you safe" raising his arm he flexes a little "These bandits got nothing on me"

Setting off the Paladins group heads up the road and plans to loop around and rejoin you at the bandits stronghold while your group heads right into the forest. After a little while of walking the Captain raises his hand "I hear something...."

Suddenly an arrow wiss past his head and strikes a guard behind him, five screaming men burst from the trees with one standing in the back firing arrows

Even though the sight of Tam being chased by a screaming and confused bandit is comedy gold you should probably help her. Rushing across the battlefield you yell "HEY UGLY", turning the bandit receives your fist to his face knocking him onto his back. Not wanting your momentum to go to waste you leap on top of him and drive your dagger into his throat. Getting up you look at Tam "What were you thinking, you can't just run around like that, what would've happened if you got hurt?"

Puffing her checks Tam says. "I'm an Alchemist, not a fighter"

You looking over the fight, you can see that you've clearly won. Most of the bandits are dead already and only one left is currently get it's head bashed in by the Captain.

Finishing up his work he stands and grins at you "See kid, I told you you had it in you"

The casualties weren't that bad, only two of your group are dead leaving you with seven. Pushing on you hear more rustling in the bush and your group prepares themselves, out from the trees comes the blood covered Paladin and his group. You're not sure which is scarier, the bandits or him. After a while you hear the rushing of a waterfall and poking your head over small hill you see a fort constructed from wood right beside it. Everyone gathers around the Captain "Ok here's the game plan..."

That's a good point. If our numbers are even, I'd be more willing to charge. Though maybe the rest of the group should charge, while we sneak around to deal with the Mage.

>>31090899
You killed six of them in your fight but you don't know how many the Paladin killed, the best guess is around 7 plus the magic user (If there is one) btw your team numbers 8 plus the Paladin (I should state that next time we're in a situation like this)

Rolled 89

>>31090927
We dispatched 6 of them. So now it's a 7v9.

>>31090957
In that case it's a 9v8 now (assuming our interrogated bandit did not lie), so charging seems like the way to go.

>>31090957
Right then. Let's charge, and see if we can slip to the spellcaster in the back.
I swear to god, if it's our master...

>>31091037
I don't care if it is. We don't have a choice right now, charging is better and we should leave the caster to the paladin.

>>31090812

The Captain looks over the hill then back to you "Ok team, here's the game plan. That fort looks like there's only one way in, the front gate. So we are gonna fan out and take the-"

Before he can finish the sentence the Paladin stands up, you all stop to look at him. "Don't worry, I'll fix it" With that he turns and runs straight at the gate knocking it over and rushing inside. For in the fort you hear "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT" before it's silenced.

The Captain blinks "Or we can do that"

I didn't mean to, but now that we'ved failed lets see how this turns out

>>31091165
Not sure this roll counts. Didn't mention what it was rolling for. Or do we just count first three rolls, period?

>>31091168
Do crit fails override other rolls here or is it still Best of Three?

Rolled 249

>>31091233
It doesn't. I was cussing him out for the one and forgot to turn my die off.

>>31091107
stay back and protect tam

>>31091257
crit fails count unfortunately

>>31091282
Also I kinda have to count the roll

>>31091291
So in any given case we have roughly a 1 in 34 chance of critfailing it.

Rolled 15

>>31091319
Also of a crit success.

>>31091343
Yes, but that's a given with Best of Three.

At any rate, wouldn't want the dice to increase much past 3d100 like this because soon we'll have too many crit fails on our hands.

>>31091107

>Engage archers (42)

Running through the fight you go striate for the archers, hey if it an't broken. However before you make it there you are shoved from behind and land on your stomach, rolling over you see Tam sitting down next to you.

"Really?" you ask

"Hey I'm an Alchemist not a fighter"

Getting back to your feet you barely dodge a swing from the bandit that knocked Tam down. Suddenly the Captain leaps behind you taking an arrow to the shoulder.

>Break off and help the Captain

>Hold your ground

With a 100 rolled for attacking, I think ATTACK is the way to go.

>>31091418
(100! Crit time)
>Help Cap
>Attack

"CAPTAIN" you scream, anger welling up inside you, you turn to face your attacker. "You have two seconds to run before I kill you"

The bandit pauses for a second "Ya right bitch like you ca-" Before he can say anything else you fling soe dirt into his eyes. Waving his sword wildly he yell "YOU LITTLE BRAT, DO YOU HAVE NO HONOUR"

"No" running at the blinded man you dodge his swings and deliver a swift kick into his balls. Bending over in pain he drops his weapon, grabbing his head you give it a sharp turn and snap his neck. After the dead falls to the floor you run to the Captain.

"Captain, are you ok?"

Grunting the Captain sits up "Yes, yes I'm ok, next time watch your back"

Picking him up you yell "Tam, help me with him"

Both of you carry him through the fight to the gate and sit him down. Holding on to his shoulder you pull the arrow out, handing him a potion of healing you say "here drink this"

After the potion is empty his wound is almost completely healed. "I'll be fine in a little bit, just let me rest, finish the fight"

The fight seems to be going your way as one of the archers has been slain and two other bandits are dead.

>>31091869

>>31091810

>Kill the last archer (59)

Leaving the Captain in the care of Tam you rush back out into the fight. Avoiding the small clashes all around you, you aim straight for the archer that's left as he sees you coming he drops his bow and draws his sword. As you come in for a swing he blocks your attack and tires to strike back, you manage to dodge the blow. Now staring at each other you begin to circle slowly until there's a flash of steel from behind the bandit. As he splits in two you see the Paladin standing there.

"The battlefield is no place for a woman, treat the wounded"

"Hey I was doing fine without your help you big jerk"

"Whatever, it's your funeral"

Suddenly you here someone shout "FEUER". A fireball races towards the crowd and strikes a guard setting him ablaze.

>A BATTLE MAGE HAS ENTERED THE FIGHT

Seeing this all your forces run to cover. The Mage laughs "That's right fools, run from me, RUN"

Looking over to the Paladin you yell "TAKE CARE OF HIM"

The Paladin starts to shake "I... I can't, he's going to roast me"

"What are you talking about, I thought you've already killed witches before"

"Those weren't real witches, they were just random people"

You think to yourself, typical. Sigh you're the only one here who deal with him. On the ground next to you something catches your eye, it's the bow that archer threw down to fight you. Now how are you going to stop this Jerk

>>31092495
Because it beats using magic and having everyone go OMG WITCH and it beats trying to rush with rolls as bad as the ones we've got so far.

>>31092218
>Bow won out (67)

Scrambling to the bow you pick it up and fiddle with it, god damn it why did you never touch one of these before, your going to fix that but for now you need to take care of this guy. Notching an arrow you pop out of cover just avoiding a fireball and let it fly, your arrow lands squarely in the mage's shoulder and he screams in pain. Looking around with hatred he yells "WHO DARNS". Switching up his spells he casts lightning, arcing it to strike a few guards behind cover.

>Rush the fucker (100! CRITZ)

Looking around you see lightning and fire flying everywhere, guards cowering behind cover, and the Paladin pissing himself. Ok no, you're not going out like this. Hoping over the cover you run right at the mage, hearing the captain yell "NO, GET BACK HERE" Fat chance.

As you catch the mage's attention he laughs "Is this the only one that dares to face me? Pathetic, come time to die little on-" before he finishes you deliver a swift roundhouse kick to his face.

Holding his check he gazes at you "Ho-How is this possible".

Looking down at him you say "This is the part where you run"

With a look a pure horror he tries to scrammble and run away but you're already on him. Plunging your dagger deep into his throat he gurgles his last words.

>Congratulations Battle mage is defeated
>you absorb his essence with can be used to learn new spells if you have the spell book

The guards standing behind cover stare at you in awe, while the Captain simply claps "Well boys, it looks like we could learn something from the little miss her, here you get first loot for that"

Where do you go first
>The bandits main hall
>The mage's room
>Loot the bodies

>>31092910
>The mage's room
no question

>>31092910
The mage's room. If they ask why we want his books, tell him that they sell for a lot of money.

>>31092910
>The mage's room
Magic stuff YAY!! take Tam with us

>>31092850
No, I was there, you were referring to an earlier hundred you rolled.

Filthy lying namefag.

>>31092910

You call Tam over and tell the group you'll take the mage's room. You get a couple weird looks but most of them just think that you're taking it for the rare artefacts he might have.

Walking into the building where the mage came from you find a long hall with a couple of doors on each side, sensing a magical energy coming from one of the rooms you head there.

Entering you see a scene of complete chaos. Paper clutter is everyone, with bits and bobbles all over the place, Tam stares in awe of everything. "IS THAT ELFEAR, WAIT THAT'S FOXTAIL, THIS STUFF IS ILLEGAL AND SUPER COOL"

Sigh Alchemists, what can you do. In the conner of the room you notice a box that's locked, after opening it you find a few scrolls and a tome

Gain:
1 Scroll of wind-blade
1 Scroll of flight
2 Scrolls of Invisibility
1 tome of force push

Putting the stuff in your sack, you look to see if you can take anything else

>>31093181
>Take what ever catches your eye
Take any valuable trinkets. Gold, jewelry, typical loot stuff. Just want to make sure we've actually collected regular loot when they ask us what we've grabbed.

>>31093181
TAKE. EVERYTHING.

>>31093227
I kinda still want to grab a spare sword and bow off of dead bandits after this. If we take everything that might be too greedy.

>>31093224
Strongly not seconding this. That's waaay too suspicious. Lets just take a look and grab some classic loot, and let Tamlen take just ONE of the things she likes.

>>31093181
>LOOT FOR THE LOOT GOD

Looking around it takes everything you have not to just stare throwing things into your bag, you see some small jewels, probably for mana channelling, and stuff them in. After searching you find the mana jewels, some money (50 silver pieces), and different ingredients for Tam.

After that's done you head outside and meet the group. "You find anything interesting?" the Captain asks.

"Yep"

"Ok, boys it's your turn now". All the guards rush off into the camp for their share. Standing around is you, Tam, the Captain, and the Paladin

>Talk to Tam

Hey, we said we're church students right? Can we recite church doctrine at him about this shit? I totally want to do that.

>>31093364
>Talk to the Paladin

As you walk over to the Paladin he's sitting down and sipping from his water-skin. You plop next to him and say "Yeah, so did you see how I took that mage the fuck out, or were you too busy pissing yourself like a little bitch? Wanna repeat what you said about women and the battlefield"

Looking at you he replys "I will retract what I said to you, clearly you are a worthy warrior". He goes back to sipping his water.

"Oh by the way, what was that about burning random woman?"

Spitting he stands "YOU OVER STEP YOUR BOUNDS WENCH, YOU MAY BE STRONG BUT I WILL NOT TAKE AN INSULT TO MY HONOUR"

However before he can reach for his sword he's hit over the head by someone from behind. Standing there is the Captain.

"Don't worry little miss, I heard the whole thing. This jerk is going to be striped of his rank and throw in jail and there an't a damn thing the church can do about it, man I really hate those guys"

Smiling you say. "Ya, me too sometimes"

Eventually all the guards get their share and head out, before leaving the Captain sets fire to the camp. After loading the knocked out Paladin and the group into the cart you all head back into town. Once there the Captain thanks you once again for all your help. Say goodbye, you and Tam start your journey again heading north.

Well that's it folks, I have to get some shuteye
