Waking up in the forest I get a massive hangover from last night. [UGH IT HURTS]! I stumble around a bit trying to shake the feeling. {You deserve this Crimson}. [Oh can it, you only say that since you hated our amazing singing talent]. We take a couple of hours resting under a large oak tree. I decide to take a look at the Familiar Armor skill again to see if anything changed. [Seems like the armor skill has a one-week cooldown until we can use it again that's dissapointing]. {That's what you think but it's honestly a really awkward feeling for me}. [I see well why don't we start heading North there should be a couple of settlements around there and that's where Conan's and Kan's tribe live I've been wanting to see them again]. {They only left a couple of days ago you know}. [It gets lonely after a while]. We hear shouts coming from the road. "BACK, BACK FOUL BEASTS"! [Looks like a group of merchants struggling against some wolves]. {Yeah we should do somthing}. [Hold on I have an Idea]. {What is it}? [I was planning on changing my appearance to one of a human since me being a Kobold is always causing a problem]. {That is... Surprisingly smart}. [Can it will you].
(Skill Activated: True Illusion)
My form changes to a tall thin human that's wearing a black cloak. [There we go looks good doesn't it]. {You look as ugly as normal}. [SHUT IT]! I change my staff into two similar daggers and rush towards the fight. "STAY BACK" -grrrr SHWING- The wolf twitches in pain as a dagger goes through its neck. -GRR ARGH- A wolf jumps towards me but I grab its stomach and flip it on the ground putting a dagger through its stomach. -GRRR- The rest of the wolves retreat backward and the caravan leader speaks up. "Phew thank you, random stranger, in the middle of the woods who suddenly came to our rescue we owe you our lives". [Well I do need some transportation to the nearest town]. "Sure why not". [Wait, what]? "I said we would be happy to transport you". [SO YOU JUST TRUST ME FOR NO REASON]!? "Well, your a fellow human right"? A tear runs down my face as I realize how much easier this is. "A-are you alright sir"? [Im fine sorry but I will take you up on your offer].
I hop on the carriage as the carriage starts moving forward. "So where do you come from"? "Oh I came to watch the tournament, It was pretty intense]. "Yeah if it wasn't for that stupid Kobold this would have been one of the most intense tournaments situations". [Yeah that dumb Kobold would have been much better without him]. "I know I lost a lot of money betting against him". [Thats awful]. Bluffing my way through this they had no clue I was the Kobold just using an illusion. We continue on the trail for a few days and I must say, human food when somebody isn't tampering with it tastes really good.
"So stranger where are you headed to"? [Eh North I guess I haven't decided where to go yet]. "You seem strong are you an adventurer"? [Yeah I am why do you ask]? "Then I recommend going to Townsville it has a nice guild for strong adventurers". [Wait, "TOWNSVILLE" what's with that name]? "Well, the person who made it was good at structure planning politics and economics just not naming things". [Makes sense I guess]. "Well to be fair some of the structures there are named trash land, poo place, and fun square". [what is wrong with this mayor]? "No clue but it's a nice town either way". [Well I guess I can keep watch, why doesn't everybody else go to sleep]. "Really, alright than good luck".
Darkness spreads as all the merchants lay in their bedsheets. They all fall asleep as I sit by the crackling fire. [Max, are you their]? {Yeah I'm just amazed that you haven't managed to screw anything up yet}. [Oh haha, hows everything going]? {So far I don't smell anything in the area all of the merchants are asleep and everything is going well to}. [Wait so you're saying everything is going correctly and nothing is going wrong]? {Yeah that's about the gist of it}. [SINCE WHEN DOES THIS HAPPEN]!? I internally start freaking out. The hours pass as Max and I continue to talk to each other.
Daylight breaks as red light streaks across the sky. "YAUGH" the merchants yawn and start to wake up". [Everybody up]? "Yeah, it was a good sleep not having to keep watch" [Cool whats for breakfast]? My mouth starts to water wondering what we get to eat this morning. "I was thinking beef and vegetable stew". [HELL YEAH]! We eat a fresh hot stew for breakfast. I hungrily eat up as the merchants laugh but I didn't care if I had no manners.
We continue on the road and we start nearing the city. "Looks like we're almost their" [REALLY]!? I peek my head out of the carriage seeing the giant walls come into view. An excited feeling wells up in me as I've never seen a town this big before. [Sweet I cant wait to see the city]. "You know you act all mature and all but your very childish arent you". [I guess but theirs nothing wrong with that].
I learned theirs a popular dungeon inside the city so adventurers come from all around looking to strike it big. But it also meant that the line was long. But to my luck, we were with people from a large merchants guild so we were able to get in immediately. They also got me in saying I was their bodyguard. [Max I'm freaked out right now]. {Becuase if you get caught it's all over or for some reason everything is working out our way}? [BOTH]! I look around nervously and the merchant seemed to notice. "Don't worry there it's a big town but theirs some really nice people around here. [I see thank you I should go and find an inn]. "No thank you for saving us here is some compensation for protecting us all this way. The adventurers we employed ran away at the first sign of trouble so we were left defenseless". I received a large bag of gold and thank them again before I leave. {So what happens now}? [I don't know Max, I really don't know]. {YOUR SUPPOSED TO PLAN FOR THESE SORT OF THINGS YOU KNOW}!
