After the sun came up, I was off. It's a good thing this city isn't far from the Valley or it may take a while.
5 hours later
I found the bandit encampment it was in what looks like an old military outpost on the north side of the valley with the outpost worked into the stone wall of the valley and from my vantage they have alot going for them stone walls massive gate about a full company patrolling the walls I have no doubt that they have siege equipment as well as food for a few months inside and probably a secret exit into the mountains everything a fucking fortress needs. It's going to be a handful to crack this nut. I guess I'll try a little sneaking. I got the skills for it, and I doubt there are any werewolves in there they have a lot of pride. Just gotta wait till night, then it's time to play.
Night time, there was no moon, so it's very dark climbing over the stone wall. It was relatively easy, and with the skill, Greyed Out, I can stand in the light, and they still wouldn't see me. The guys on watch are talking it seams there boss is not the bandit leader but is another of the merchant kings that's not a good thing well for him I'm shur the bandits do his dirty work but also blackmail him every chance they get must be why this place is like a fucking fortress also stupid question but why do the grunts know who there real boss is anyway is it someway to keep him from backstabbing them or something? As I wonder about these people's IQs I see a small house in the middle of the place and it's guarded by about 15 people at different exits that even include the windows as well as a few patrolling the grounds though not 1 of them is on the roof huh sloppy. There is also a chimney guess where I'm going. It's a good thing it's not in use.
So I'm in the living room, it looks nice and clean. I start searching the first floor, nothing of note, no guards on the inside well that's the first floor let's hit the second floor. There are 3 doors up here, but only one with light coming out of it, so I decide to open it and as I do."Who's there? How dare you enter a maidens' bedroom at this time of night." Ugly goblin woman with a grating voice yup has gotta be our kidnapped Jewel. However, as she looked outside the door and saw nothing, she muttered."Great, now the door is broken. Another thing to complain about."Then she shuts the door and seams to put something in front of it well, time to look for a way out ya climbing the chimney from the inside was a pain. Now, this place has got to have a back way out now how to find it."Hay you." What fuck he's coming my way and he past me wew but as I turn around I see the guy kick someone that was sleeping to the side."You dumb ass it was your turn to clean out the secret tunnels entrance you get moving or I'll have the boss take your pay for this month."As the guy starts running while saying he'll kill him if that happens all I can think is convenient much as I follow the sleeper he goes deeper into the place and into a storage room as I sigh cause I'm sorry a storage room secret tunnel how many times has this happened in a movie and some change. As I enter, the secret tunnel is already open and waiting for me to go through fuck if it's got forks at least it will be different but no its got a windy path that's up to the exit guess I'm not going to be surprised.
The exit was in a wooded area near a rock wall. Not much to say, the rock wall opened, I found the rock that opens and closes the door and closed things up. I went north for a ways up on the tree tops after going a ways away. I started planning everything I could get her out, but the problem was getting her to a city. What I can't protect her and myself the whole way as such im gonna need to head back to a ity to find some help and what the fuck is that burning smell? As I think that I look down to see a band of about 30 orcs and what looks like a male goblin as such, I decided to eavesdrop.
"Sir, I'm sorry, but considering the Stat of that fortress, I don't think we can take it down even if we have an army it's just way too fortified."
"Well, is there any way to get in sneakily."
"Sir, I'm sorry, but we didn't bring any goblin rogues, so we can't do that ither Sir, please. I beg you to forget this and let the proper authorities deal with this."
"Oh Jewel, I'm sorry if I only planned more ahead. I could have done something."
"Oh, but you can."I say as I land beside the goblin. "I can get in and out easy. All you need to do is escort her to a city."The orcs armed up when they saw me land by their boss, but the goblin stopped them and asked."Can you really do it?"
"Yes, I can bring her here, and all you have to do is take her to the nearest city."
The goblin thinks for a bit, then extends his hand."My name is Romen, and if you can do so, I'll be grateful."I grab his hand and give it a little shake, then head back to the rock wall.
"Boss, do you really think we can trust him?"
"I don't know, but we have nothing to lose, but just in case we will set a trap."
"YES, BOSS."
Ok, long boring story short, I'm in that house again, but this time I'm here to kidnap. I mean, rescue the goblin. Oh, I think I sneazed. And I'm back at the door but the lights are out this time I open the door and bang crap I forgot about that thing she left in front of the door but before I can do anything else another bang happened but this time it was a broomstick hitting my head it didn't hurt but I broke the broom oops. The poor broom, I mean my poor head, I mean fuck never mind considering I just got smacked I wasn't polite I grabbed the goblin chucked her under my arm then stuffed a sock in her mouth then started running good thing my Greyed Out skill is working wonderfully the bad thing the goblin is flailing about well what ever after I get her to Romen she's not my problem. I keep running, opening, and closing the secret tunnel, then flying through the trees till I reach where Romen is, then plop her right in front of him. It seems she was waiting for me to go back there as she was still in her daily wear, but she took the sock out of her mouth and was about to start screaming when I clamped my hand over her mouth with a shush gesture however she was really fuming but Romen quickly explained that we were here to help her. She didn't calm down, but at least she quietly said."It's nice that you're here to help, but you could have gone about it more delicately."Sorry miss, but I was crying tears of sadness over that broom as it still had a long life of sweeping ahead of it.
