'Maybe.......I might join... but you shouldn't be talking to me like that.... people can hear us..' Jade said as she looks at some customers staring at him weirdly. Jumping off the counter she landed on Noxel's head, making her self comfortable while lying on his head she purred softly as her small witch hat covered her entire face. 'make me come with you....but I will not reveal myself at a place like this' she told him while looking at the back little where the undead mage stood. Purring softly she decided to greet him..

'Hello....' she said to the man as her paw softly pats Noxel's head..
 
Vedis Eilifindottir dipped her head in response. A Valkyrie she may be but she preferred to avoid creating more trouble for herself and diverting a mission from the higher one, for one necromancer, was hardly fruitful. Especially one currently doing no harm. Since she was on a sensetive time limit as it was; she did not want to delay her progress.
"Do you have any room in this tavern or should I head to the inn. For I must press on, there is a General I must speak with post-haste. I have an important message from the council." With a negative reply and a few silvers, she prepared to leave the tavern.
 
"Huh..." When a small paw landed on Noxel's face he looked up at the strange cat, replied with a "hello there" and removed the feline from his head.'I hope you didn't plan on caching a free ride. I have a image to defend' With that the Necromancer scooped up the cat with his cane and plopped her down on the table. He then got up to follow Harrow.
 
Gorgutz smiled as he took a sip from his ale. "Pah, bandits ain't got nothin' on a orc. Day all just a bunch of pushovers the hole lot of em. Dis should be eazy money. This a long trip so pee before we leave".

Gorgutz leaned back comfortably in his chair, resting his hands behind his hand. The orc waited for his companions to prepare for the journey.
 
As soon Jade was placed on a table she jump of the counter landing on the floor gracefully while she looked up at Noxel. 'Didn't plan catching on a free ride though as for me I'll have to wait until you and your..... friends prepare.. ' yawning she fixed her hat with her paws as she walked towards the chair beside the entrance jumping on the chair she sits as she stares at the orc relaxing though she felt somewhat.... intimidated by his size but she knew he was also friendly in her opinion.

'after all.. i might bring a few friends~' she told him with a little bit of mischief in her voice. She wanted to make things challenging its been long since she has traveled with someone.
 
Noxel's mind quickly flashed to Necromancer Academy, everyone was learning multination magic he remembered the army of creatures that where just plies of different appendages. 'Certainly hope those aren't the type of friends she has...' He thought to his self. He then gave Gorgutz a shrewd look and said " I don't know about that... have you ever met the Fell- Dagger Clan? They never let there victims leave alive. Gut them on the spot." He may have added a bit of fear magic to his words since Orcs tend to pay no mind to warning.
 
Harrow waited by the door for the others. He adjusted the bandages on his face and spoke up "I doubt any experienced bandits will be operating here yet. The local bandits aren't very good, used to their targets surrendering then putting up a fight. Of course if we run into Sunder he'll fight until he dies. He served under king Bane during a power struggle and gained experience in the art of killing. By the end of the war all he knew was how to kill, so when he could no longer do so under the kings banner he was arrested and brought before Bane. He killed two royal guards before he escaped, and he now resides somewhere outside of this town, only taking on enough targets to sate his blood lust. He doesn't even loot them, he just kills."
Harrow looked over at the group. "We should be going, he intends to leave today."
 
"Hey you over there" the skeleton spoke. "If you want to guard the cart you better be quick about it or else it's leaving.Hurry now"the skeleton continued to sit there doing nothing but staring at the undead with his glowing red eyes.
 
"Well boyz its time we git going unless someother boyz is gonna get our money, and dat is just unacceptable if ya ask me"

Gorgutz stood up and nodded at Harrow.
 
"And why does us meeting the merchant interest you so much?" Noxel asked the skeleton, not fully trusting him.
 
Crimson stayed silent during the whole conversation between the strangers.

"So," he said while walking with the group to the cart "We have an orc, two (probably three) necromancers, an assassin (that is me), a Valkyrie paladin, A bloody warrior, a mage and a shape-shifter. Well, this sure looks promising. What?" he looked at the cat lady with a grin on his face, "Did you really thought that I didn't hear how the others replied to you, especially that necromancer over there?" He pointed at the man that made the mistake of talking to the cat without using telekinesis. "Anyway, I'm in for the caravan escort, so I can warm up a bit after so much time of resting."

He loved when people ignored him even when he was in front of them; it meant that he still didn't lose his skills after all of those centuries of inactivity.

"Obviously he's going to come with us. The owner will be here soon and we will be off." Harrow said, walking over and climbing into the old wooden cart. With a sigh he sat down to wait, talking to himself. "Well he kept this old thing. I'm honestly not surprised, the man hate's losing his precious money."
 
Noxel sighed. Personally he didn't care what others thought of him as long as they didn't hunt him down. He followed Harrow into the old cart and sat at the front, taking the reins and patting the calm horse's neck."Don't worry, I've learned handle horses well. Travel a lot." His thoughts traveled back to his endless adventures aboard that old creakily carriage of his. Gosh he loved that ancient thing.
 
The bar doors swung open revealing a hooded figure who practically glided across the floor. Graceful and delicate though the face hidden within the shadows of the hood. This new person unmistakingly a women from the petite figure. Sitting at the bar and ordering a drink with a voice like silver bells. She drank back the whiskey and pulled the hood down revealing soft curly red hair and curious mix-matched eyes. Small pointed ears poked out of her hair revealing her race. An elf.

The cat laughed sliently as she walked with them. 'Ohhh really now? Quite impressed that you could hear our little chat assasin lets see how you do in battle~" She stared back at the assasin then looking back.

Observing every man she could tell they're strong in any kind of battles....... and she wanted to see,silently looking at the front a magic circle appeared on her left eye and chanted quietly as no one could ever hear her anyways. Finishing the chant a shadow beast as big as the orc was summoned on the ground its red eyes looking at them and growled ready to killd them and headed right straight to them, the beast was a little bit weak anyways so it wont cause severe damage to them anyways.

Harrow saw the beast and leaped from the cart, ceremonial knife in hand. He spoke in mage tongue as he pointed a finger at the beast and a magical bolt struck it in the chest. "If anyone else is a mage, let's not blow up the tavern."
He looked past the beast at the cat, and for a split second he let his face be seen. With a small spell he spoke into her mind. "I'll tolerate this once. Again and I will kill and skin you. Understood?"
((Combat is free form, just don't do anything too OP.))

'Hehehehe~ i just wanted to see~ understood wont do it again unless i really need protection' Jade laughed quietly as she walked with him. Her ears twitching a little.
 
Gorgutz walked over to where the shadow beast lay, it was still alive... not for long though. With both hands he lifted up his mighty axe and cleaved its head off. The beasts body begain to melt but not before Gorgutz pulled one of its fangs out. He gently blew the blood off of it and polished it on the side of his pants. The Orc walked back to the carriage and gave the tooth to the mage. "You did most of the work boss, and its always good to keep a trophy for the first kill of the day, bring you good luck it will" said Gorgutz.

Gorgutz leaped onto the side of the carriage. With his right hand he hung from the topside of the door, hanging like a gorilla from the branch of a tree. With his other hand Gorgutz wielded his mighty axe. While others would have gone inside the carriage, Gorgutz wanted to be prepared for the bandits, he did not wish to grant his enemies the advantaged of a first strike. He also knew that sitting in the carriage was not as safe as the others had thought, it bunched them up and would make it harder for them to escape or mobilize in the event of an attack.

Having noticed the redheaded entering the bar, Gorgutz turned around and hollered at the tavern "WE GOING TO WAR BOYZ, NOWS THE TIME TO GIT IN THE RIDE, UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE LEFT BEHIND."

Serenity, the redheaded elfs gaze was turned to gorgutz as he hollered at the tavern. Looking around at the situation woth narrowed eyes "oh damn... well looks like ive walked into a little scuffle" she pulled a knife and called to gorgutz in her naturally soft husky voice "are you offering everyone free rides?"
 
Crimson skillfully took his bow out and quickly launched three iron arrows in a quick succesion towards the beast, just after Harrow launched his spell on him. All of the arrows reached their target, bringing the almost dead beast to the ground, so it could be finished by the fatal blow of the orc.

"I am also full of surprises too, lady" Crimson said to the cat when the battle is over. "When you have the whole time in the world in your hands, you always have space to improve."
