As I was enjoying the fountain in front of the town hall, and a fleeting moment of peace, Miss Sunset appeared and gleefully greeted me. We'd only spoken a few times before, but it is always good to see a happy citizen of Cove around the compound. We spoke for a while before she let out that she wanted to replenish the guild's waning leather stock, but needed an escort. I was all too happy to offer myself as her fighting arm.
As we set up Doofy (her pack horse), we were joined by other guardsmen who wanted to help out as well; especially since we would be spilling blood. Since other guardsmen were now involved, Sunset charged me with leading the rabble and ensuring our Hides to Guardsmen Casualty ratio stayed within acceptable limits. Since there were no expendable recruits along for the journey, it was a heavy responsibility. I lined everyone up, and had Regular Valentine open a moongate to swift us to Despise as it was the closest camp of Lizardmen.
As we came out of the moongate, we ran smack-dab into the face of a lone Yewian soldier! From his markings, we identified him as a Marksman, and quickly formed around him. On Cadet Kelly's order, we took him prisoner and she took the responsibility of hanging on to him during our gathering mission. With the Yewian in tow, we entered the dungeon and proceeded upstairs to the Lizardmen hovels. With much bloodshed, we slaughtered them and Sunset followed behind taking their vile, slimy skins.
We continued doing so for about 30 minutes when I decided it was time to head home. Besides, I was tired of hearing the Yewian soldier's babblings about his life in his army. He was a pretty nice guy otherwise and didn't seem like he'd fit in very well with the riff-raff he was aligned with...
Anyway, we headed out and Kas took us home via moongate. Once we returned home, Kelly tossed the prisoner into a cell, and after we piled the gold, I dismissed everyone with a job well done. Sunset had more hides than she knew what to do with, we had no casualties, and captured an enemy of Cove. Not bad if I say so myself.
After dividing the gold, I stored 2500 gold pieces in the Baron's coffers.
