It is a few uneventful days of travel with the young merchant, who had on your travels revealed his name to be David Alters. Apparently he was trying to pay back some debts in another town by doing some trading for the local guilds in the city, though with his miserable failure he doubts he should even show his face around there now. You each survive on the little bit of food that was left on the cart and after a few days travel, you finally catch a glimpse of something quite breathtaking for a person who's lived in a small cottage all his life. A large wall, about 30 or more feet tall, going out far and wide across the land, with many men stationed at the top with crossbows and bows. As you make your way down the road, you see a large, red and thick wooden set of doors with what seem to be a group of well armed and well armored guards standing post.
"Huh, there's usually only one or two men at guard there. Seems they've raised the security."
As you slowly make your way closer to the entrance, one of the guards,a large brute of a man with more hair on his face then on your head, holds out a large silver spear to the the two of you.
"Halt! What brings you dirty bunch to this fine city?" The guards look over the cart, seemingly cracking jokes to each. "Probably more stinkin farmers, like we don't got enough shit in this city as it is."
They don't seem to care much for you two.
>I'm a farmer, he's a merchant. Can you let us in now?
>Yes, we're poor farmers without a home. Please could you let us in.
>We're wealthy, proud merchants who were attacked and need some aid. [Roll 1d20-1]

Merchants have papers, right?
Also I'm pretty sure we only have 79 gold pieces, we gave one to the old guy in the hut.

Your leg, now that you notice it, is not in very good shape. Barely got washed and it seems David's medical know how is not much better then yours. Hurts like all hell and got pretty deep in, but at the least the bleedings stopped. You could stand on it, and maybe limp a bit until it gets looked at.
"Hey, David, show this guy your papers or somethin." David quickly reaches into his boots, pulling out a flattened and slightly blood stained piece of paper, handing it to one of the guards. As he opens and looks over the paper, he looks back at the cart with confusion. "Eh, says here you should be have whole crates of produce an' stuff with you. I just see one, and it looks like you two've been pickin into the stock. How do we know you didn't just take this all,eh?"
"We were attacked, they took everything!" David tries to explain, but the guard smirks and shakes his head.
"Sure, or maybe your the one's that did the attackin, eh? Well, if ya want t'a get in, we might just let ya go by for a good...say,100 gold, eh? If you are a merchant, that should be nothing, right?"

Show your leg and say. "Sir look at my leg, you can easily see it's a greavious wound as a guardmen you must have see your share of injures and thief. Have you ever see a thief braking his on leg in a scheme? If he was caught how would he run with a broken leg?

>>43800825
>>43800783
The guard stares at your leg for a moment, scratching his large beard, before suddenly giving it a hard whack with the back of his metal plated hand. You feel a deep surge of pain throughout your entire leg.
David tries to stop him, but the guard simply knocks him to the back of the cart with a swing of his arm.
"Doesn't seem that bad to me. After all, I've seen thieves do some pretty crazy things for a scheme, I remember this one punk who cut off his own thumb. That, and maybe you got just a bit too cocky, eh? Thought you could just waltz right in? Well unlucky for you, the king's just raised security round here, so either you pay up the...hey, Ill give you a break, 50 gold, or Ill have to turn you two in. Sound good?" The guard grins, looking back to the others.

"We can't afford that, c'mon give us a break?"
The guard thinks if over, before grunting and offering 40 gold pieces. "Its the lowest I'll go, and your lucky you got that far."
Going through your sack, you take your 39 and hand him the rest, hoping to finally get this over with. The guard counts out the gold, nods his head for a moment and tosses it back to another guard, who makes the call. Soon the gates swing open wide for you. "Seems well and good. Ah, but before we let you in, how's bout a parting gift to make sure you don't cause any trouble?"

>>43801354
And with that, the guard leans in and swings his fist into your leg again, this time you think it may have started bleeding again. Though it seems he held back, as the pain fades and David quickly gives the horse a hit, as it slowly takes your group past the entrance, and into the city. Looking around, it's a bit...underwhelming, really. The homes that look as if they were once beautiful and well maintained are now broken down and unpleasant, and the people seem to be made up of mainly others that look to be in your situation, bruised, broke and hungry. Farther back, you can see the city seems to get better, though you also notice many more guards in that area then where you are. There seems to be a few taverns, older homes, shops and many, many beggers.
David ties up the horse and your mule to a nearby post, as you two get off. Your leg almost drops you as you stand on it, but you barely manage to stand with David's assistance.
Where do you go?

Fucking hell!

>>43801480
>>Try to find a healer or doctor.

>>43801536
"Get me a fucking doctor, gods fucking dammit!" You curse and mutter under your breath as David assists you, slowly bringing you around, asking where one could find a doctor or a healer of some sort. Every step is awful, and after an excruciating half an hour you finally find a small, rather worn down shack of a home that you were told was home to an old doctor, "Melfrinks or something like that." You were told.
"Hey, sir, my friend needs some healing!" David calls out as he pounds on the front door. After a few minutes, the door slowly swings open, an overweight, middle aged man with large black mutton chops standing behind it, chugging a mug of ale.
"Eh? The hell do you want, I'm..." Looking down to your leg, and with a long, drawn out groan, he turns around and walks back inside, scratching his ass. "Dammit, fine, come in, that looks pretty bad."
Limping inside, you see books, plates, food and trash everywhere. Medical equipment lying next to what seems to be some molding steak on a shelf. Its slightly worrying. Quickly, the man swipes his large hairy arm across a table, tossing everything to the floor.
"Lay on this. It'll be quick."
And so David helps you onto the sticky, wet table, thought it's hard to care with the constant pain.
Suddenly, the man takes a bottle of rum off a shelf and puts it in your hand. "You might want to drink this."
This doesn't seem like it's going to be fun.

----

You wake up, hours later, blood covering the table and floor, David sitting back, seemingly traumatized, and the pain being almost completely gone (though your leg seems to be somewhat more difficult to move.) The doctor, swiping off the sweat from his forehead tosses you what seems to be your sack of gold.
You check it, and it seems 5 gold is missing.
"There, you should be good, but try not to walk on that too much, alright?" Soon, you leave, with only a slight limp. Its rather late.

Taking your hoe, you use it as a sort of cane. It does help, although a bit awkward to use. "We need some sleep." David mentions with a yawn, yourself agreeing with a nod. "Somewhere with some food, if theres any."
David thinks for a moment, before starting to lead you. "I remember there was this cheap inn I used to stay at around here somewhere..."
After a few minutes, you find the place. The Copper Mule it says on the sign in the front. Heading inside it seems rather decent in size, a few rooms and some tables, with a young woman moving all over, delivering plates to a few drunks and old men. "What do ya want" A gravely old woman calls out to you, heading over as she spits out a leaf she was chewing.
"We need some food and sleep."
"You look like you need it" She mentions with a rough, awful laugh. "One gold piece each and you'll get a whole room and meal. Unless your staying together too, I don't judge. Beds are awful small though.
David insists on just getting seperate rooms, though it is your gold.
>Be cheap and spend 1.
>Spend 2 gold.

Either way, you each get a warm dinner and a warm place to sleep, seeming heavenly compared to the last week of onions and cold nights. It doesn't take long for you each to pass out for the night.

[David is very grateful]
Soon, the morning comes, and with it the small of a freshly prepared breakfast. In your room, a small table with some food is set up, which you finish off rather quick. As you finish, you start to think of how you should proceed with the day. David joins you after a few.
"Well, that was great, but I'm guessing we're not doing so well in the gold department. Course, we could try to find some work somewhere. I know the local guilds might need somethings done. Theres always help wanted posters set up in the local taverns. We could also just ask around, or people we know. Then again, eh, maybe you think we should do something else?"

"Hey, ya know, that cart o' yours could come in real handy if we need to get any work. Could do some movin', trading." You mention to David.
"Hey, thats right! Heck, we should be able to get alot more work with it, maybe we could check out....mn..anywhere but the merchants guild. I'm sure they wouldn't be happy to see me right now. There is the adventurers guild, rather crap comparing the two, but hey, they have stuff they need too."
You agree, thinking a guild would probably be the most likely place to find well paying, not too dangerous work, so you and David thank the old woman who made your meal, gather your things and head outside. David quickly gets the horse and mule, as you two head in the guild's direction. Luckily, it's rather close, though the building is much less then what you had expected. An older, two story,old wooden building that looks as if its been somewhat fixed up recently. Walking through the front doors you see a large room, filled with drunken and weary looking adventurers young and old. You can spot out at least one mage, you think. The walls lined with wanted posters, help wanted signs and invitations to various events. Walking over to what would seem like a reception desk, you see a young, armor clad woman standing behind it, going through stacks of paper work. Looking up for a moment, she raises her brows in slight interest. "Eh? You don't look like the normal guys we get in here...if you can call most of em' normal. You here to join?"

"We're just looking for work, but what do members do, eh?"
"Well" She says "Members have the first word on any jobs that come up, for one. Secondly, they get benetfits from weapons to armor or whatever they might need for certain jobs. They also get a place to stay upstairs, however some of the money they make does go to us when it comes down to it. So interested? Also, what kind of work you lookin' for?"

Let’s wait with combat until we have better equipment. Actually:
>Do you also sell equipment? With a shield and an actual weapon I might consider some more jobs.

I’d be interested depending on the job. Not right now, though, probably.

>>43805994
>Interested
Free food and place to live. Getting our pay cut for it doesn't matter, as we are getting benefits for it.

>The kind that involves trading or traveling.
Mention the cart. Also,

>Secondly, they get benetfits from weapons to armor or whatever they might need for certain jobs
Does this mean discounts or straight up free provided equipment?

>>43806058

"Actually, I think we might be interested in joining. The equipment, its free right?"
"Yes, but it needs to be returned after your job unless you wish to pay for it. Course, if you just want, you could buy any number of simple equipment if you need it, as members get a discount."
David seems to be in agreement. "This sounds like it could be a great opportunity."
"Alright, we'll join." You say. You also ask David to do any paperwork, as you can't really read or write too well. "Do you have any jobs that don't really involve fighting? Something with trading could do, we got a cart."
She shrugs her shoulders. "Well, most our jobs are of the fighting kind, but we do have plenty of trading that the Merchants guild doesn't take, and the fact you already have a cart is perfect. Not very much menial work, unless your happy to fix up the wall. Doesn't pay well."

Let’s first look at what we might need before buying anything. (Actually, I want to look at both and than match the equipment to the quests)

>>43806183
One question, no matter the job can it backfire with our leg being fucked up? Like if we go and fix the wall is our leg gonna improve or is it getting fucked more and more everyday for the job?

>>43806223
Depending on the job, it could either help or fuck your leg. The wall involes alot of moving and lifting, so legs gonna get worse, bit same with fighting and such. Traveling with the cart probably might let you rest your leg more, but it can backfire also.

>>43806246
Okay thanks then I guess I'm going with

>Ask for the trading requests.

>>43806217

>>43806223
>>43806246
I honestly think we should rest for today, no matter what. Heal the legs a bit. Hang around for a week or so, and then we should decide, depending on our leg's condition. If anything we can rest at the inn.

We are desperate, but not desperate yet to risk fucking up our leg.

>>43806183

>>Ask about trading requests and check what offers are on the wall.

>>43806261
Yeah but we have to think there's other people taking jobs maybe if we wait for too long we come to find there's no more trading/relaxed job offers and we get fucked.

>>43806290

"I think I'd like to see what you've got after you tell us what your giving."
"Fair enough" She says. "Well, here's a few jobs that have been given to us. Note, most these trading requests do have a time in which they need to be finished. Danger levels go from Simple, Average, Tough, Deadly,Knight and King, the last two being things like getting past dragons or traveling through an enemy's army or base."
She walked over to the wall, took down a few papers and put them all in front of you.

"Say, do we have anywhere to put our valuables while we're out?" You ask the woman.
"Of course, just store it in your room before you go. Since your friend here seems to have finished the paperwork, Ill be giving you the keys after we finish here, the left room at the end of the hall, upper floor."
You nod and sign your name onto the papers. "Great, then we'll take this one." You say, holding out the doctor's request, "Think we may know him."
"I would imagine" She says with a laugh. "He's about the only doctor this side of the city can afford. Seems he's getting too old to come get his own stuff himself now." She takes the paper, stamping it and handing it back. "Make sure to get this signed. We'll be filling your cart shortly. It'll be 20 gold after our cut, along with anything extra the doctor might give. Come to us after for your pay."
"Great, thank you." You say, putting the paper away. "Hey, David, what do you think about giving the good doctor another visit, eh?"
David grimaces a bit. "As long as there won't be any more surgery, I say its a good start for us. Could be good to have your leg looked at again. We should probably head out as soon as we can, so we don't get there too late."
After getting everything settled, you gather your supplies and put away whatever you wish in your room. It seems small, but has two beds at each side, a table and some bureau's. You can hear the rabble downstairs, talkin bout some low down farmer trying to make it big and such.

>>43806711

>>43806890
Eustice is tied up outside, along with the horse and cart.
You decide to keep the hoe, the knife, 10 gold coins and your lucky paw.
Going downstairs, you take some time to rest and eat, having merry with a few of the other men, spending a few hours with it, before preparing to head out. Your leg seems much better, so long as you don't put too much strain on it. Going out and getting into the cart, David goes upfront, giving the horse a whack on the side. Suddenly, with a jolt, your off. Eustice doesn't seem to mind staying back, as they seem to have left him some food.
As you go along, you look over to David. "Say, what did happen during that surgery, anyways? Ya looked pale."
With being reminded, his face goes a bit cold. "I...am not sure I wish to say. But lets just say there were many things put into that leg that most people would normally avoid touching. Also, I think I heard him say, 'oops, my bad' one too many times."
A slight bit unsettling.
It only takes a good ten to twently minutes to find the doctors home with your cart. As you make your way close, you notice what seems to be a man with a disheveled and slightly scarred face, smacking his fist against the door to the doctors home. "Hey, you owe me for that junk, ya fat fuck, now get me my money!"
The doctor seems to say something, but its hard to hear. It does seem to get the man more riled though.
David looks back to you. "Ah, it doesn't look like we should do this just yet.."

This, try to be polite but not "scared" polite, the thugs can smell fear.

>>43807195
>>We should wait till he leaves.
No use to barge in and make enemies without knowing what’s up. Given that this is the only doctor in town, it might be a good idea to help him later, but for now it has nothing to do with us. Even if we scare the guy off he will just come back later.

>>43807266
We can reason with the guy. He's the only doctor in town I doubt he wants to hurt the only guy who can heal him.

>>43807280
He probably doesn’t even want to hurt him. He only wants whatever money he is owed or something like that. If he is angry he might decide to steal or destroy our delivery, though.

There is really no benefit in engaging this person unless he starts breaking down the door.

>>43807312
We're not taking the opposite side, we're just trying to calm him down. What if he loses his temper and kills the guy? These are harsh times.

They are not even in the same room! There is absolutely no risk of him killing the doctor as long as he doesn’t break the door down. And if he does we can still prevent the murder AND he has (probably) clearly enough broken a law that we can take him to the guards.

He shows no sign of wanting to kill the doctor. He is owed money and wants that money, which is perfectly reasonable. And this is nothing we can just "calm down". He won’t magically not care about his money anymore.

Tell me one benefit of engaging this person right now?

>>43807390
We can mediate so that the fighting doesnt even take place in the first place, trying to find and agreeable solution between the 2 parties just so we dont get shat on by having our employer die before we get the money.

>>43807326
I was >>43807246 and yeah, I think the best thing is for Joe just to ask what's going on, not in an aggressive way though. We should keep our distance for now though in case we need to give him the hoe later; we need distance to use it properly.

But for now, let's play it diplomatically.

ALTHOUGH: Mind you, if this doctor owes this guy money, how is he going to pay us 20g for our services (plus whatever else the guild is taking as a cut)? Based on that, I'm guessing either a) the doc is a broke ass who won't pay Joe or b) this guy is some kind of racketeer/extortioner and the doc isn't paying out of principle.

So let's ask what's going on.

Yeah it would be better to know if the guy has some gold on him to pay us or if this is some moral grounds he's taking. I dont want to take a fucking trip just to get scammed.

You wait for quite some time, though it seems the man has been here quite a few times before and doesn't plan on leaving soon. He's even gone to smashing his hand against the window now, looking inside. "Just give me my money you old fucker, and Ill go!"
"Hey, what are you doing here?" You yell over from the cart.. "Whats that old man done to you?"
"Hey, mind your old business, ya cabbage grower!" He snarls back. "This guy goes and asks for some of my stuff see, says he aint got no medicine for his patients, so I give em some stuff and he says hes gonna pay me back real soon!" He gives the door a hard kick, leaving a crack. "But now he's saying he don't got to pay me, says 'Im doin some good for the community' or some shit like that!"

"The hell did he even buy from you?"
"Well thats none of your concern! Whatever it was, he owes me a good hundred gold for it! That was a whole fuckin stash, the fuck!"
One again he kicks and punches at the door.
"Look, that just doesn't seem right. We'll try to figure things out, alright? Let us talk to him."
The man looks to you, arms crossed, then looks at the cart. "Eh, I see. Yer a delivery boy. Ya know what, fuck it. Go on, try to talk with the fucker. If he can't cough up the gold though, he's gonna have to hear from my boss."
Getting a few things he'd dropped on the floor, he moves away from the door and sits on a log by the house.
Slowly, you move yourself off of the cart, David staying behind to watch the goods. You limp over to the front door, giving it a knock. "Hey, doc, it's me agains. Let me in will ya?"
There isn't a voice, but the door slowly creaks open. As you walk in, it slams back shut, and you see the doctor, sweating, his clothes covered in stains and holding a knife.
"Good gods, thank ya fer that."

"The hells doctor, what did you buy from that guy to get him so angry?"
The doctor seems to go quiet for a moment, looking left to right. "Oh. Right that, um...some supplies, for uh..my medicine, see? See uh, I had payed the guild to get me some supplies, but it's been taking damn near forever, Iv sent the same request about three times now. So uh, I took matters into my own hands, and went out and got some supplies that...one could now, necessarily say are 'legal' or 'safe'. Theres just too many people round here getting all cut up though!"
"Then why the hell aren't you paying him?" You ask, listening.
"Well uh...after I payed the guild, I still had at least, ah, hundred and three pieces, so...I went on a bit of a binge?"
"You...spent all the money on booze?"
"Not..all of it." He says, taking out 35 gold from his pocket. "And some on food..and some furniture. I think. I was ah, hoping for some more income to come in. It's been a slow week."

"Have you tried offering your services?" You ask.
"I did, but apparently they got one of those fancier, well trained doc's with em. I can't even offer to give back what I bought cause I'v already used up most of it."
You groan, thinking over your options. "Alright, then you give him the 35 gold, we'll offer some some of your new...furniture, I guess, and maybe some medicine."
"Eh, you've got it?" The doctor seems to perk up for a moment, then shrug back down. "Well..I guess its fair to give em what I took. They are rats though. Don't deserve shit. But I guess I got to."
The doctor puts the 35 gold in your hands, and you leave the home. The man gets up almost as soon as he sees you. "So, how'd it go? Am I getting my money?"
You take out the sack of gold, much to the man's dismay. "Eh? That doesn't look like a hundred to me."
"Ah, about that, we don't have all of it..but..we can offer some of his valuables..mostly furniture..or some medicine?" You say, pointing to the cart. "I also have a mule. Don't need em' much."
Even with the growing frustration, the last comment makes him laugh. "A fuckin' mule? We give him 100 gold worth of the best stuff we got, all you offer us some chairs and a mule? I mean, fuck it, the medicine might be worth it, but with all this waitin, Im thinking 50 golds worth, up front. He can pay the rest by the end of the week."

You hold out your hand, and for a moment he seems like he's about to object, but looking to you again, he grimaces and takes your hand, shaking it.
"Fine, he's got in that time to make back the other 50 gold. If we don't get it by then..." And he whips out a knife from his pocket, then puts it away. After a bit of exchanging, the man takes the bag of gold and a small box of medicine, carrying it away, muttering curses under his breath. Slowly the door opens and the doctor looks outside. "He's gone? Ya did it? Holy hell you saved my hide, come on in, let me look at the leg, have some of my ale, whatever ya want!" He says, offering you inside. David seems a bit less keen on trusting the doctor now, though.

Ask him to sign the quest completion so we can go back.

Also if he needs help gathering new herbs and supplies we can oblige but he has to teach us some so we can gather them.
(we need to learn to do emergency treatments if we fuck up again)

>>43808621
>Tell him to look at your leg.

And also
>Say he owes you more then a check up and some ale for that.
Which is essentially >>43808696.
Something like a memo or a small book about herbs or emergency treatment methods could help a lot.

>>43808791
We alchemist farmer nao?

"Yeah, check it out. Feelin a bit off. Also, ya know, you owe us if we get stabbed any more, ya know?"
The doctor laughs as you sit onto his table, looking over your leg. "Ah yeah, course, come in whenever ya need. Hey, yeah, this is lookin pretty good. I'd say just give it a day or two and it'll be good as new." He takes out a hand full of leaves from his pocket, crushing them and putting them onto your wound. "With these, maybe even less then that."
Its not pleasant, but much more so then before.
"Hey, and can ya tell us how to do some basics of patching someone up, uh, just in case?"
The doctor shrugs, taking out a book from the floor and handing it over. "That should have everything ya need. Ya can read, right?"
You look at the book for a moment before shaking your head."Maybe if it had more pictures." However David offers to read up on it, as the doctor says he won't have the time to explain it all. After he wraps your leg up again, you hand him the papers that he happily signs.
Few minutes of putting away boxes later and you're set to head back to the guild. The doctor, gives you a small box of medicine for the road, then see's you off.

---

You arrive at the guild in a good 20 minutes, puting your horse and cart away, handing the paper over to the young woman.
"Eh, that took a bit longer then i'd expected. Come up with some trouble?"
"Just some thug, Joe here handled him easy." David smiles, giving you a pat on the back.
The woman however, seems a bit more concerned. "well, you'd better hope that doesn't come back to bite you. Anyway, heres 25 gold for the whole thing. Good to know you handled that well. We always got more if ya need it."

>Spend your night going over the book with David.

>>43809194

I would interact with some members and eat first.

>>43809104

I don't think that anyone is suggesting that we take a job. We will most likely take on the [Small Village Medicine Delivery] which is simple and due in 10 days time.

>>43809081
>>43809083

You decide to have a quick look over the jobs again.
[Small town asking for food due to low crops, days worth of travel, Average, expected in 5 days]
[Guard outpost needing weapon supplies and armor, weeks worth of travel, difficult, expected in 9 days.]
[Small village in need of medicine, 1-2 days travel, simple, needed in 9 days.]
[Box needed to be moved from Aldres to Lordsrun, 2 weeks trip, King, needed in 10 weeks]
You take some time to know your fellow guild members, have some dinner, enjoy yourself. Most of them seem rather good people, though alot are proud braggarts or thieves. Some of the more well known seem to be Helgard Thesius and Steven Onesly, who are known for working together to take on king level assignments. They are't here currently.
You decide to take the next few days in stride, letting your leg heal and learning the art of basic reading and first aid from David. After about a week you find yourself able to at least read simple sentences and even most of the job papers yourself. As for first aid, you think you could at least stop yourself from dying of blood loss if you had the materials.
You've also come to know many of the other guild members, and how they tend to work together for tougher assignments when needed.
The sun is high in the sky, and you've just had your morning meal. Your gold seems to have not been much affected, though you know the guild would be rather difficult with members that take too long without taking assignments.
>What do you do?

>>43809344
Let's take the village medicine run assignment before someone else snatches it up. Should probably head out in the next day or two to ensure a timely delivery. Purchase supplies for the trip(rations).

>[Small village in need of medicine, 1-2 days travel, simple, needed in 9 days.]

>>43809414
>>43809409

>>43809344

Take the village medicine run. Get rations and rent some armor and ranged weapons. Maybe practice slings for a little bit.

Also get some spears.

2 boiled leather jackets and some traveling and healing supplies.

>>43809344
I wouldn’t have taken the whole week, but I guess we still have enough time to deliver the other medicine. Conveniently, we will also be away when the local doctor needs to pay up.

Does anyone want to pay that guy a visit to see if he scrounged up enough money yet?

>>43809344
>Small village in need of medicine

>>43809473

>>43809344
Spears get, dagger get, light armor get.
Supplies for travel (backpack, tent, mess kit, flint, etc.)

>Small village medicine delivery

Also ask one of the fighty guys to show us a few tricks with the spear before we go. Offer him 2-3 gold.

>>43809344

As you and David gather your things, you go down to the woman once again.
"Oh, finally taking another one we see? Awfully brave." She says, rolling her eyes. "Anyway, what d'ya want?"
"The medicine delivery. We should still have 3 days or so." You say, taking the paper from the wall and showing it to her.
She takes it from you, stamping it and handing it back. "There ya go. All set. It'll pay 50 gold for this trip. Anything else?"
"Some supplies please." You ask as you list out what you need.
[1 backpack, tent, bedrolls, flint, lantern with oil, and a couple days worth of rations and emergency kit added.]
"We'd also like some weapons and leather armor. Preferably spears or something similar?"
"We've got that and more. Whatever ya want as long as it aint too out of reach." She grins, taking out two large spears and sets of armor. "Oof! Here ya go?"
You thank her, taking the items and going over to one of the men, tossing him 2 gold. You remember him being very knowedged in weapons. "How do I use this without stabbing myself?"
With about a half and hours worth of tips, you feel your able to use it decently at least.
Finally, you set everything in the cart, get dressed and prepped in armor, and are ready to head out. You have at least an extra day to make it there, along with the travel time.
You both get into the cart.
"Well, this is going to be rougher then before. We ready? Cause we probably need to leave now."
>We ready.
>Need to do something.

Probably, but we should get some ID first.

You feel a tinge of excitement.

As you make your way to the exit, you see the same guards, staring with glares.
"Paper's?" He asks, as you show him them.
He shrugs and orders you to be let through. "Make sure not to lose everything again, farmer." He says with a grin, as you two leave the walls of the city. Its a rather long ride, as you two take the western road towards your destination. It seems like it'll be a very open path, with just a few trees and animals here and there. A few hours go by, the day starting to grow darker, as you and David carry along.
"Well, this is nice, I suppose." David mentions with a yawn. "Eh. I think I see something down the road. Looks like theres a river going through, a bridge, still no homes...eh, someone there?" You squint your eyes, trying to see them in the growing dark.

You look closer. Is it another rat? Bandits? You quickly give David a signal, as you get out of the cart and prepare your weapon and your Ass. 'Eustice'. The person only seems to notice you just then, as it slowly takes a step foreward. Then as it comes closer,you think you may recognize the creature from a picture book you had as a kid. It seems to look like some sort of hyena or jackal walking on its hind legs, holding a small axe, and drooling at the mouth, standing at a man's height. A Gnoll, you think you remember it was called.

Get david to do the same

>>43810416
This, but try to draw his attention in a way that he exposes his back to David.

>>43810382
We have longer reach and work together. Stay together and point the pointy bits of our spear in its direction. Maybe one further up and one further down so that it can’t just swipe both away?

Combine the above.

You call over David, as the creature looks to you. David, takin out his spear along with you, starts to slowly move slowly along with you. The Gnoll, keeping its eye on your both, licks its lips and readies its axe. Suddenly, you bolt in, catching the Gnolls attention. Keeping your spear at the ready, the Gnoll rushes in, turning its back to David, as he goes in for an attack.

David, seeming to hesitate for a moment, barely grazes the Gnoll as it cries out, and then laughs, wildly taking a swing with his axe behind him.

In a rush of anger and with a battle cry, you rush in, stabbing your spear into the creatures chest, driving it through. It cries out in pain as it drops its axe to the ground. Looking down to its chest, blood dripping from its mouth as David lifts himself, grabbing the spear with his one good arm, thrusting it foreward to finish the Gnoll.

>>43810850
Hyenas aren't canines.

>>43810922

Check the area for anything else and secure the cart.

>>43810922
Use some of the medical knowledge we picked up to stop David's bleeding

then

>>43810939

>>43810922
Scan the area, if nothing there loot the gnols corpse and leave.
Heal David.

Leave the corpse on the road so people will notice that there's gnolls around... Or chop its head of and put it up for display on the cart to scare of attackers.

>>43811002
There could be a bounty, take the head.

>>43811038
We become known as the Gnolhead mercenary group.

>>43811002
>chop its head off
>take the head

With our rusty knife? No, sir, this is hoe business...

Patch up David first and try to see if there are any more gnolls

>>43810922
And once again, he barely hits the creature, as it struggles and shakes with the spear in his chest, though slowly it seems to fall limp as its blood drains away, letting it fall limp to the ground. David, holding his arm, gives a thumbs up with his one good arm. "That went better then I'd imagined."
Looking around, you find nothing much but a good 6 gold and the Gnoll's ax. You do find a few scattered bones where the Gnoll had been standing, though nothing on them.
Going to David, you take out some of the medicine from the box you were given and put it onto the wound. It didn't get deep, so it should be fine. You wrap up the wound, and help David up. At his point, the sun has gone down and the only thing of interest that you can see is the river and bridge. Before heading onto the cart, you chop off the creatures head with its own ax/your hoe. David offers a sack to put it in. He seems a bit disturbed, but understands.

You look over the area for a moment. "I think we should try to find wherever that Gnoll lived. It probably wouldn't wander too far from its home."
David agrees, as you each take a weapon in hand, making sure the cart is safe. After a fair amount of searching, you think you find it. A bit farther down the river there seems to be a dugout, going completely under ground. It seems to go a fair bit far down. You turn over to David and give him a nudge. "Hey, you know if Gnolls usually travel in groups?"
David scratches his head. "I think I heard something about that, yeah. Cause they're not very brave creatures."
"Then why was that one alone?" You ask.
"Well.." And just as David is about to finish, you hear something of a loud laughing coming from behind you. Looking back, behind a small few trees, you see about three pairs of glowing yellow eyes in the darkness.
"Well, now we know."
>Run for it back to the cart.

You take out the Gnolls head, still fresh, and hold it out to the others. For a moment, it seems to keep them back, as you slowly inch your way towards the cart. You manage to make it, only about 10 feet away, before you see the creatures start to rush foreward, the cackling even louder now. You have your weapons ready, but David is still hardly able to hold it up. Quickly, you turn and rush forewards, scrambling into the cart as David gets to the front, tossing his spear in the back and giving his horse a hard kick on the side. Suddenly, it lifts and neighs, starting off. However, it seems the Gnolls were right on you, and as you make off, they attempt to get into your cart with you.

>>43811537
My butthole is clenched. Be ready to jab at them from the cart.

Is Eustice running with the cart?

pls let Eustice live pls

>>43811537
However they trip and stumble, letting you ride off with ease, the cackling dying down as you ride over the bridge and away.
"That..was kind of exciting. Sure, we couldn've gotten killed, but wow!" David laughs, laying back, just a bit as you ride down the road. Its about a few hours past midnight, as you come across a small cabin off the side of the road. Slowing down, it seems to be abandoned, with the roof mostly missing and the inside stripped clean.Your only about a days travel from the village now.

Throw your rusty knife at one and your hoe at another and then stab the thirds hand so it can't latch on.

>>43811566
Eustice, who had been tied along to the cart, ran alongside you. He did get a jab in the side, but otherwise seems fine. He did kick on of the Gnolls back as they closed in.

>>43811587
>First scan, then search, then rest

>>43811587
>>Scan the area for anything dangerous.

Also


>Search it for anything.

Tell David to stay ready in the cart so we can run at any time if something happens.

Then look for a decently concealed area.

>>43811587
>>43811648
You scan over the area. There doesn't seem to be anything to be worried about. No areas for anything to really be hiding, it seems safe enough to rest. As you enter, you set up a small meal, prepare the bed rolls, hide away Eustice and the Horse and cart. You lay down, looking to the sky with David. Slowly, you each drift off to sleep, as you talk about the past few weeks, and everythings thats happened. No more onions for dinner, no more living off of nothin.
And so ends this part of Joe the Farmer's quest.

Wow this went for quite a while, pretty tired.

>>43811863
Go get some sleep man.

>>43811863
Thanks anon - really enjoying this.
