After the bandits were interrogated the caravan continued on the path to the capital. Suprisingly there were no other attempted attacks on the caravan, giving some credit to the bandit's claim that many bandit camps begrudgingly aligned themselves with eachother.
"I guess that's both a good thing and a bad thing..." Iskandor shares his thoughts, "If the bandits work together they would be more powerful as a whole, or at least when they manage to work together. On the otherhand though, a majority of them are grouped together, making one large target as opposed to multiple small targets."
The twins nod their heads and procede to write a report for the guild, not far from camp.
"We should arrive around noon." Audit informs before heading off to take first watch.
"Mind if I join you?" Iskandor asks, "I'm considering joining the guild and I'd just like to know what it's like."
"Although I don't mind telling you about it, it's probably best to experience yourself. The 2 things I was say however is, it's never boring! Especially with some of our "difficult" adventures. Secondly, some jobs are over or under paid, so if you're looking for money keep in mind that money and difficulty don't always go hand in hand." Audit briefly explains.
"That's more or less all I was going to ask anyway, thanks." Iskandor replies.
With this, the occupants of the caravan drifted off to sleep, ready for the next morning.
As morning came, nothing of note happened, everyone had a light breakfast and packed up camp. The last few hours of their journey were nothing to note, small talk between those who knew eachother and the adventurers keeping watch for any trouble that may come their way.
The Capital was soon in sight and the caravan kept on its way. After getting the all clear from the gaurds at the gatehouse the caravan finally reached its destination, the capital of the Oakvale Kingdom, Lux Sancta.
(Auther note: Oakvale is the official name of the kingdom but many also reffer to it as the Forrest Kingdom in refefence to the royal family and the abundant forests in the kingdom. Lux Sancta is also occasionally referred to as Magnolia city, the reasons include that Lux Sancta was at one point called Magnolia city and the tradition that many towns in the kingdom share a similar naming scheme.)
Once Iskandor received the pay of 50 silvers, he and Serena decided to check out the guild. "If that job was from the guild, that would've saved us a trip..." Serena grumbles, walking down an uneven cobblestone path next to Iskandor.
"That may be true, but you can't deny that 50 silver doesn't seem too bad." Iskandor says, "All we really did was protect against that one bandit attack. It may not have been difficult to us but I'm not sure many could stand up against those numbers like we did."
Serena nodded her head in agreement as they arrive at the guild. A large stone structure that in of itself looks like a small castle, likely large enough to accommodate a couple hundred if necessary.
As Iskandor is about to open the doors a young man flies through the doors, on the other side another young man is seen.
"So... Should we come back later or-" Iskandor starts.
"Come on in! Those two are always like that. Kaji, Kori, if you're going to fight, don't destroy guild property!" Says the female bartender. "The guys here tend to rough house a bit, don't let it get to you. Anyways, what can I do for you?"
Iskandor then replies, "Well, I'd like to apply, I have a few friends who didn't come with me that might want to apply at a later date though I can take care of that then. Serena, do you want to join too?"
"Sure, might as well." Serena answers.
"Alright, we've got a legal document we are required to hand out," the bartender says, passing a sheet of paper, "followed by a document asking for personal information and a written questionnaire to determine if you have the mentality to be an adventure," at thes she stacks on another few sheets of paper, "after that, I'll lead you to the combat arena to examine your physical and magical strengths."
"A bit long winded, but simple enough. Thanks, see you in a minute." Iskandor replies, grabbing the forms.

"Alright, got those filled out for you. We also skimmed the legal documents, essentially saying if we fuck up, it comes out of out pocket." Iskandor says, passing the sheets to the bartender who looks at the sheets with interest.
"You did answer everthing truthfully did you not? Falsifying information for the guild is cause for punishment." The bartender asks.
"Yeah, everything should be accurate, whether or not you believe it." Serena sanswers.
"I'm sure you understand my suspicion, I apologize if you take offense. As this is such a unique case I hope you don't mind if the guildmaster and his assistant watch your combat test." She informs.
"That should be no issue to us, just lead the way." Iskandor replies, curious to what the guildmaster looks like and how he is as a person.
The bartender proceeds to ring a bell before leading the 2 on their way to the combat room. "I just realized I haven't introduced myself. My name is Miette Akuma." Miette introduces. "Vlad, Luna, these are the two I alerted you for. Here are the applications."
"As you can see, the name's Iskandor, this is Serena. I understand any suspicion you may have on the accuracy of our claims so feel free to ask what you need to alleviate any concerns you may or may not have." Iskandor explains politely.
Vlad gives the forms a once over, then tosses them to Luna. "I'll admit, your claims do seem falsified, however I have seen many equally crazy claims that proved true. One thing remains does it not? I'll overlook his magical assessment if you don't mind."
"Not at all sir." Miette replies.
With this, the group enters the combat arena.
"Alright, how do we do this?" Iskandor asks.
