Part 1: The Beginning

[K73SK]

A man howls from one of the tables with papers all around him, "That's me! Over here! How can I help?"

[Nightshade]

Olivi shakes her head. "I think I'm starting to come to. Let's continue our assault, though, and we should probably keep a low profile. I'd rather get the opening attack on this band of imps and cut through their shaman before they know what hit them, rather than get ambushed by the same. Oh, and watch out for rocks, too; we're approaching the ravine, and terrain is going to get worse. Try not to trip on them, alright?"

Olivi & company continue their search, to [26, L]

"Hey Ryusho, I hear there's a lot of chatter about something new, or something interesting. I want to know what it's about. The town guide recommended me to see you."

[K73SK]

Party #1:
The party gets closer to the entrance to the cave. There are still no signs of any imps, but there is a pole with a sign with some unknown language written in blood. The writing is too hard to decipher as well...

Van:
The guild master replies, "Ah yes. If you're looking for some quests, then I do have them here... The main news is that Mayor Blainz is looking for warriors."

Dropped my G...
“A citizen here named Derron has claimed that he dropped around 100G outside of the cave to the north. He’s asking for someone to go and retrieve it for him. He didn’t say why he didn’t go back to pick it up, so if you need to talk to him, you can usually find him at the tavern.”

Warriors Unite
“Mayor Blainz wants everyone in town to know that there’s a battle between Sunmante and Yurinsell that will be expected to happen July 6th at 3PM (CDT). The mayor is calling to all warriors to unite together to fight this battle against Yurinsell. It’s unknown to the size of the army, so we need everyone possible to join. For each warrior who joins and survives, they will be rewarded money for their partake in the battle. If you’re interested, please sign your name now.”

[Nightshade]

Olivi looks at G-Pow. "I don't know this language, but if I had to guess, it's some sort of warning sign written by those imps. I imagine that we are closing in on the Imps' Hideout. Keep on your guard, and remember that if we can find the bag we're looking for, I don't mind not having to fight them. Keep on your guard, and be mindful of any traps."

"I personally have no reason to fight for Sunmante or fight against Yurinsell. Though I am in this town for one reason or another. I'll have to think hard about risking my life for a battle which I do not know the meaning of. I will come back once I can figure some things out."

Van thanked Ryusho for speaking with him then leaves the Guild Hall. He then makes his way towards a merchant of the town, Hickle.

As he walks the streets of the town, Van tries to take notice of anything unusual or anything that sticks out. He begins again to try to recall if he's been in the town before, looking for hints if he has.

Van makes it to the west side of town where he meets Hickle.

"You must be Hickle, a town mechant. Please, tell me sir, what do you have to sell today?"

"Yeah, I'll watch for traps, but I doubt these imps could come up with anything complex."

The party continues north to [26,K].

--------------------------
Party #1:
As the party comes closer to the entrance, an imp in the distance comes up from behind some rocks and runs north really fast into [26, J]

[Nightshade]

Olivi spots something small moving in the distance. "I think we've been found. What do you think? Rush them before their defenses are fortified, or wait until they attack us?"

"They're pretty weak. I'm fine with either choice, really. It's your decision. (And your turn to move)
