((ooc: Its TANYU not BugHunter!!!))
*Apparently Tanyu was so sound asleep, he wasn't disturbed when the new stranger had a close encounter with the cart. Instead, he seems to wake up on his own at the right moment after all the important stuff occured.*
*He makes a big yawn and scratches himself. Eyes are still saggy. Looks around to view his surroundings. Notices that he's on top of a cart apparently and no longer inside the tavern. Sees that the regular group is still around and figures they're on the move once again and dragged him with them. Finally notices the new guy who's rubbing his shoulder from pain which was from some fall which he failed to bear witness to but doesn't care much for anyway. Contemplates whether to say something or go back to sleep or go search for an egg. Decides to question him*
Tanyu: "Hey... who's this bozo?"

*Tass's fingertips glow a slight green, and are held out in front of him. He's ready to hex the crap out of this new character if he tries anything. He also decides to play 'bad soldier' *
"So, who are you? Speak up, I'm sure we could still catch up to those men who were after you. Probably a cash reward too. . ."

"money is always fun, but its always the underdog that turns out to be the good guy. you know how many times ive had to run from mobs like that? except i always had spells flying at my back... and hey, im pretty well adjusted. heh."
*Katt walks over to the strange man that just flipped over the cart.*
"same goes for you too, right, my friend? we wouldnt want to have to make Tass's threat hold true, would we?"

"Well, I..." Then it struck Fargo that his name may have made it this far, and he debated telling them. Eventually:
"I'm Fargo Squire. Those guys aren't worth the trouble really... They seem to have gotten it in their heads that I have a price on my head." He laughed, sheathing his sabre. "In short, I'm a mercenary, and I've made one of my clients less than happy with my performance at... weaving. I'm not a star weaver, it's true, but it was the only job to be found in that accursed town... And where might you fine folks be headed?"
(I'd have said what town, but I'm not really sure where on the map we are at the moment...)

((ooc: Minor mistake? MINOR MISTAKE?! I'll show you minor mistake!))   *Tanyu is still on top of the cart. Thinking processes are hampered by hangover*Tanyu: "Wait...wait...what? Wait, what's going on? A mercenary that weaves? Man, what is wrong with this generation... When I was a mercenary I never weaved. Why I would take fifteen bounties in before breakfast and never think twice about it! Humph... weaving..." *Lies back down but doesn't really go to sleep*  |

what the hell is weaving?
Sho: "well...weaving...weaving...erm...not recalling anything in the old scrolls about weaving...unless you mean clothes and textiles? which i'm sure isn't possibly what you may mean by 'weaving'...or is it?"

"Erm... No, of course not," said Fargo, shifting uncomfortably.
Think fast, think fast...
"No, I'm talking about spellweaving. I'm really not good at magic."

((hmm i just noticed, Tass is the only straight-up mage at the moment. Interesting))
Fargo: "No, I'm talking about spellweaving. I'm really not good at magic."
"Understandable. Its not as if its something one can pick up easily" said Tass, now only holding up one finger with a large green blaze on it.
*Tass considered for a moment. Could this mercenary be of any use? He was obviously lying about this weaving nonsence, spellcraft was never refered to as weaving. Was he lying about his origins as well? Or was he just cautious about strangers, just as the group was?*
*In a quick gut feeling, Tass decided to trust Fargo. Even if he was working for someone who had ill plans for the group, they were close enough to Kroy that it didnt matter. They had protection*
"Well, Fargo, welcome to our motley troop, if you wish to tag along. Were headed for Kroy, and still have an hour or so before we break for camp"

"well, thats depending on whether we can get this cart back up and re-packed. if not, well be carrying a heavy load. haha, we should strap it all to the new guys back!"
*Katt start to pick up a couple things that fell out of the cart.*
"So, newcomer, you think you'll be traveling with us? Im Katt by the way."

Fargo grinned, as his successful failure to convince them of his spellweaving was evident.
"Yeah, I suppose I'll take a stroll over to Kroy with you guys. "
(Fargo joins the entourage! *cool sound effect*)

*Sho assists in picking up a few of the stray items that fell from the cart*
Sho: "and by the way, name's Sho- nice to meetcha"

"And you've probably figured out, Im Tass, a friendly neighborhood necromancer. Snoring up on the cart is Tanyu, our resident drunken warrior. Thats Will over there, hes a little out of it sometimes"
*They manage to pick up the items that Fargo had knocked loose, and continued on their way. Not to far off in the distance, a densely packed area of trees could be seen, almost as if they had been grown to become a natural city wall. Kroy was a day's walk away*
*After walking an hour or so more, they group decides its time to turn in for the night. Katt breaks out some food from the cart, and they sit around a small cooking fire, sharing stories and getting aquainted with Fargo. They take turns keeping watch through the night, and in the morning, they pack up and once again set out*
*By midday, the Forest City of Kroy is obvious, and guard patrols can be seen circling the city. As the group gets closer, a patrol of about 10 soldiers, with horses and a few chariots, rides up to them*
"Ahoy! Identify yourself or prepare to be removed!" shouts the obvious Captian.
*Tass decides to speak, being the only mage and probably most likely to be accepted by the mage city's guards*
"I have been summoned for trials. These are my companions, we wish entry into the city."
Captain: "Oho, you must be Tassatul! Master Mage Kaluthin warned us about your arrival, and has already set a task for you. South of the city there is an advance party of tengu preparing to attack the city. Defeat them. You may take your companions to help you, and we will take care of your supply cart. Go at once!"
*Tass turned to look at the group, then grinned. Some action, finally*

*Tanyu is still asleep on top of the cart as the guards take it away. He's been asleep the whole time. He didn't even wake up when one of the others tried to get him to take his turn on watch last night*
((And I aint wakin him up until i roll a 20 dangit, lol. In other words its gotta be something big to wake him up. He drank a lot of beer that one night))
