Defender of the people

[Tsukasa]

(OCC: This is an open rp, so anyone can be a part of it.)

Tsukasa was walking through the streets of Mittelmarch, with thoughts of Giles still on his mind, when he heard a few of the villagers talking about bandits attacking travelers in the south of Mittelmarch. Tsukasa asked the villagers about the bandit attacks and from the descriptions they gave him, he figured that these might be the bandits that he was chasing when he was brought to Mittelmarch. He decided to investigate the matter.

Tsukasa headed for the Silver Moon Tavern. He figured he could gather some information on what might be in the woods to the south. He also figured that others might have heard about the attacks too. Tsukasa enters the tavern and starts to ask some of the people about the attacks and what is in the woods to the south.

Posted on the door of the Silver Moon are a number of notices, anything from "lost cat" to "assassin needed". Covering several is a notice that looks neater and fresher than most.

"Citizens of Mittlemarch,

Our land has recently suffered from several deadly attacks, chaos is the order of the day. Our villages lie open and exposed, we must protect them. I am taking this responsibility upon myself until such a time that a king can give me authority. I am looking for volunteers to patrol the outlying villages and notify the proper authorities of the depredations of bandits and warlords. If you are interested, please meet me at my camp in the woods south of Mittlemarch.

Your Servant of Mittlemarch,

Suihaden de Percy"

When Tsukasa left the Silver Moon, the signs on the door caught his eye. The one that really intersted him was the on left by Suihaden

It is great to see that others have taken up defending those who are unable to defend themselves. This Suihaden seems to be a honorable man.

Tsukasa headed south into the woods looking for Suihaden's camp.

(OOC) We will be moving into the Ravenswood Cemetery thread sometime soon, I have permission from Giles.

A few leagues south of the City Mittlemarch, the afternoon sun shone brightly on a small camp. With only three canvas tents and a small fire any passer by would dismiss its tenants as no danger. Four horses were tethered and grazing on the lush grass and beside them, their owners poured over a pile of maps and papers.

"I say we loop south, cross the river, then head north and cross again above the city. That course will cover the maximum amount of area for the least amount of walking."

"But Lenkyron, we have to cross the river twice to do that, and there aren't any bridges that I can see."

"Shut up Sui and let me think. I'll figure something out."

As the afternoon sun fell lower on the horizon, the four humans left off their planning and returned to the fire to cook. Sui, for Sui it was that had gathered the party, had planned well, using the limited monetary resources he had to buy weapons and supplies plundered from the Jovians. Although by no means well armed, the four seemed tough, energetic and friendly, a fighting team to be reckoned with.

One of them, a husky human named Butler, rubbed his stomach at the smell of the food.

"Mmmm hmmm, that food smells great."

[Tsukasa]

After traveling through the woods, Tsukasa enter the edge of the camp. He saw Suihaden and the rest of his group around the camp.

"Greetings. My name is Tsukasa, and I'm looking for the man called Suihaden. I saw his post on the Silver Moon's door and wish to give my assiantance. "

[Suihaden]

The human named Sui stood up and offered his hand to the stranger.

"I am the man you are looking for, Suihaden de Percy is my full name, though most call me Sui, and these are my friends, Lenkyron, Butler and Melcindó. Won't you join us for some dinner? Butler shot a buck early today and we have some venison stew and beans."

[Tsukasa]

Tsukasa sat next to Sui.

"I mean no disrespect, but I will pass on the stew. Where I come from, meat is a forbidden food."

Tsukasa smiled as he hoped he didn't offend anyone.

"What is your plan for weeding out the bandits?"
