"Seth Trentman" (Radat) Grenseal spent the small amount of Potch he had on some Medicine and equipment, Sydonia had already had arrangements made in Kuskus by now. So he made his way, the monsers in the area weren't to hard, and he managed to collect ten Squirrel capes to use as rags. The other monsters caused no immediate threat, it had beena while since he actually used his Thunder Rune except with the pirates. After three days travel, Grenseal arrived in Kuskus, he made his way to the Inn and payed for his room and exhausted from the walking, fell asleep. About midnight Grenseal was on the bed snoozing away when Sydonia decided to teleport in. "Heh, there you are" Sydonia said in his usual strange manner "Well, let's go"
"What" Grenseal said as he sat up "It's the middle of the night"
"So" Sydonia said simply "This is the only time the boaters will allow 'Wanted Men' on his boat"
"Fine" Grenseal mumbled as he suited his armour and clothes on "Where are we headed?"
"Lakewest"
"We can't go there! They'll kill me!" Grenseal argued "Thunder ransacked everything in the city! What about Coronet?"
"No rides going there" Sydonia put simply "Only Lakewest"
"Alright" Grenseal moaned "Lets go"
Sydonia led Grenseal out, the two went down the streets undetected to the docks, by a boat stood a man who appeared to be a pirate. The Pirate instantly recognized Grenseal and his eyes widened first wih suprise then with hatred "How Dare you try and board my boat after killing Prackle!"
"I am sorry that that happened" Grenseal said "If theres anyway I can prove to you I am sorry, let me know"
"Well..." The Pirate said "In the Pirate's cove, the only way to prove your sorry is to be strong enough to back it up! If you beat me in a duel, then I'll accept and take you to Lakewest"
"Very Well" Grenseal said as he drew his sword "Prepare yourself!"
"DIE!" The Pirate said as he charged Grenseal slashing his dagger wildly, Grenseal striked the dagger out of the Pirate's hand knocking it in the water, he then put his sword to his neck.
"Give up yet?" Grenseal asked "Can we go now?"
"Fine fine" The Pirate said "Seth Trentman at your service, I shall take you across, better not sleep though, there's no garunteee I won't kill you two in your sleep"
"Heh, I doubt it" Sydonia said "Let's go"
Grenseal boarded first, then Seth and finally Sydonia who teleported on the boat, Grenseal found him a nice place and fell asleep, Sydonia went of to do weird things he liked to do while Seth got the boat ready to go across. The pirate suprisingly got them their fast and even provided them with some clothes to disguise their-selves in as the went through Lakewest. Unfortunately the disguises didn't help, one of the children playing spotted Grenseal's face and began screaming at the rest of the village. A few minutes later, Sydonia, Seth and Grenseal sat underground in a prison cell with a death sentence.
"Grrrr, I should of left you all in Kuskus" Seth growled "Now were going to die! And it's all Thunder's fault!"
"MY NAME IS GRENSEAL" The Knight shouted "Shut up and let me die in peace!"
"GRRRRR" Seth growled out ignoring Grenseal.
"Well, let's try and get out" Grenseal said ignoring Seth's growling "Sydonia, see if there's anything you can find to help as reach the keys"
"Heh, Sure" Sydonia said as he teleported out, he then came back in hsi Iron bonds with a wooden stick "Will this work"
"Wait!" Grenseal said annoyed "Just teleport out and get the keys!"
"Fine" Sydonia telported over to the keys and brought them back, Grenseal quickly snatched them away and undid all the chains. After unlocking the door, the three made their way upstairs past the sleeping guard and out of Lakewest. Seth ended up joining the two since his boat was taken into custody and there was no way to retreive it. Completely stripped of all their belongings, except for ther weapons they found. They were forced to fight the local monsters around Two River until they arrived, they managed to scrounge up enough fro a night's stay at the cheapest room in the Inn and 3 Burritos for Dinner. The next day they spent most their time killing monsters, earning money here and there. They weren't able to make much progress since they were staying at the Inn and buying new suppies.
"Well, from our original fund of 2,000, it's diminished to 23 Potch and all we have to show for it aretwo Medicines, a tent and some armour" Grenseal said as he went through the money.
"No Problem" Seth said "I found a way for some fast cash!"
"Yeah?" Grenseal asked "What have you come up with?"
"Well all of Greehill's defences have left to fortify the borders!" Seth said "So, either we pull a big job or...."
"Or we offer our services for defence!" Grenseal added "Their bound to need help with no soldiers in there city"
"What??" Seth shouted "We find a city with no defence at all, and the perfect opportunity to steal every last Potch and you want to work for them!"
"Heh, I'm with Grenseal" Sydonia said "Not very good to plunder a city, when you can't spend the money because every soldier in Jouston would want your head on a mantle"
"Right, besides if I'm ever gona get passed the guards to enter Highland I'll have to be considered an ally" Grenseal added "Rather then a wanted man"
"Fine" Seth grumbled "I found another job, there's this Treasure Hunter looking for the Hidden Rune of the Gate that the last of Windy's Minion's hid in Zexen. This guy will pay 50,000 potch to each man who joins up on the quest!"
"50,000??" Grenseal asked astonished "Zexen is kinda out of the way isn't it?"
"Sounds fun" Sydonia added "Worth a try"
"Alright fine" Grenseal said "But first let head to Greenhill, if we can't get a job there, we'll head to Tinto, then to the Grasslands"
"Sounds good to me!" Seth said "I could start my own business on that amount of Potch"
