(I wonder how Kirk and Lynn will meet the rest of your characters lol.)
Kirk eyes the quest that seems easy enough. Just look into some rumors. "This one will be a good way to get us started," Kirk mutters as he peels the contract off of the board and begins to read it with Lynn staring over his shoulder.
"Easy as you can go and up." And with that, he handed her a training sword they started to train. At first, the training was easy at first but slowly the difficulty rose. Soon he'd be putting more and more effort into the training until he was getting either knocked back on his ass or Julia managing to get the sword up to his throat. He'd keep at it for a couple of hours and it would seem his skill improved just a bit. He wasn't doing any of his usual tactics, just swordplay. He'd get knocked on his ass once again trying to pass the current level. With a sigh, he'd get up.
"Let's take a break. Thanks for helping me train."
MEANWHILE
"Oh..." She said as she looked over at the two. Seemed like they were getting along... Though the tall man had a stoic expression.
"Well, what's your name? Mines Mary."
"Mine's Lauren, it's nice to meet you."
There have been rumors of a strange beast terrorizing a village. Though these are probably false it would put my mind at ease to have someone investigate them.
The quest came with a map leading to the village.
After Siris playfully punched her on the arm, the two shrugged. “Does that count?...” One asked pulling out a book. “Hmmmm...No clue.” The other responded.
After their training was done, Julia nodded. “Of course, I am glad to assist.” She replied.
"So Lauren, can you do magic? Good fighter?"
MEANWHILE
"Hey, Julia, so are you able to do anything else besides fighting? Like healing? Not even with magic but have knowledge of how to care for wounds."
“I possess the knowladge to treat cases from minor injuries to critical trauma. I can also devise strategies depending on information given. I can also clean and cook, create traps, Hunt, barter...Many skills.” She replied.
"So a jack of all trades. So I recall you have energy blades, right? Can you form any types of weapon or only those?"
MEANWHILE
"Well, what can you do besides poisoning?" Mary asked and continued on her meal.
The cloud of mist forms for the first time since Lauren's transformation, before transforming into a sword and shield.
(If I could make a suggestion, it'd be a good idea to tag the RPer you're referring to in a post. It'll make the RP much easier to keep track of for different characters.)
(Tikkit):
Kirk's eyes narrow at the words "strange beast" and mutters, "A beast? Could it be a mamono?"
"Mamono don't typically waste their time scaring the socks off of villagers. They'll usually just grab their man and go," Lynn explains.
Kirk taps his gloved finger against the two words and says, "Though there is no mention of this thing being a mamono. Again as the quest says, these rumors could be fake. Probably set up as a prank to scare people."
"The only way we'll truly know is if we go investigate," Lynn says with a shrug.
The couple follow the directions of the map. As they move along the trail Kirk whispers to himself, "Oh, how I wish that magic school hadn't shut down."
Personally, he hopes that the rumors are just that, rumors. He is a novice in earth magic, but the best he can do is manipulate small patches of land and shoot shards of hardened rock at targets.
Soon enough they can see the top of the village over a hill.
