A large imposing badger geared in red armor, Kilsa Ironsoul, wait for warriors to respond to her summmon. She is currently talking with a few soldiers clearing for her expedition and signing various scrolls.
Rogna approaches Kilsa, adjusting his cape as he walks. His hand is on his sword hilt, his other hand makes a wave to the badger. "Hello there!" he says as he reaches her. He smiles and looks to her armor. "Fine work as always Miss Kilsa."
Zevran enters the area in response to the summons. He looks around quickly before spotting the large badger standing near some soldiers. He makes his way over to the small group. "Lady Ironsoul, I have come to assist you in your expedition." He says as he stops in front of the badger.
There's a stocky-looking armadillo fellow who's rather quick to arrive, though not as quick as others. Walden's in some chainmail over a brown robe and has a pack of supplies on his back. He has an axe in its cover at his side, and he seems equal parts eager and nervous. "H-hello!" the armadillo stammers as he approaches. "You're all here for the same thing, right? Um, the expedition?"
The badger nods greeting Rogna, "Thank you, From what I hear the things that are lurking in the ruins may warrant the use of this armor. I'm glad to have you all at me side." She nods to Zevran and Walden as they approach. "If you have anything to gather now is the time. I want to leave before it turns night, In case there is shadows about.." She heft her travel pack on her back and smiles at Walden, "Yes you have come to the right place."
Ryusho would almost arrive too late it seems, Just at the last minute as he seems to have a ..bad tendency of doing it seems for things that are planned, though normally its because things keep him busy, this time its because he actually didn't find out until the last minute as he arrives, quickly giving a bit of a Salute, "I'm Here Lady Ironsoul, I only just found out about the expedition and I did not want to end up missing out on helping the house." he says though a bit hurriedly.
Rogna presents his small pack of supplies and gestures to his sword. "I believe I have everything I require for this mission. Shall we proceed?"
Walden rubs his hands together briskly and nods to the lady badger with a big smile. "I pretty much have my things, so don't worry about me," the armadillo says. "It looks like we have some sturdy-looking people here. I feel kinda good about that."
Zevran raps his knuckles on his battered plate armor and readjusts the medium-sized pack that is slung over his left shoulder. "I think I am prepared as well." He says with a smile, not bothering to gesture to the large sword on his back.
The badger looked at the Tengu and nodded, "We haven't left yet but now that your here lets get a move on." She motions for the rest of the group to follow as she begins walking out of the city walls. "Luckly the ruins aren't very far." She walked at a brisk pace but kept the chatter friendly, "While this isn't an offical mission from the Crown I expect you all to be on toes. A few merchants I've spoken to have said that their are shadows, This mission is simply to explore the ruins and take back anything of value if you find something let me know the crown may keep it but I will reward you personally from house Ironsoul's coffers." At the pace they are traveling they have already reached the outside of the east forest.
Rogna nods. "So you must expect us to find a threat, or we wouldn't be needed." he says as he walks through the at pace with the group.
Ryusho hums quietly as he follows the group, keeping up though he does adjust and check things, actually shifting a few crystals around when it comes to what he does, but being quiet for the moment
Walden follows along, though he practically jogs to keep up. He must not be used to moving quickly. "I hope we find some interesting stuff, then," the armadillo says while panting just a bit. "It ought to be pretty fun, right? I mean, aside from the life-threatening dangers."
Zevran keeps pace with the group, although he remains mostly silent. "Aye, nothing like a fight or two to get the blood pumping. Life isn't worth living without a little danger." He says cheerfully to the armadillo.
"Yes Sir Rogna, I expect danger but shadows so close and under our noses just doesn't seem as likely." She shrugs, "Though I can't say that there is no danger of shadows now that folk have been coming around to inspect the outside of the place." She picks up a hammer and keeps it over her shoulder. "I'm familar with Ryusho 's, Rogna's and Zevran's approaches to combat. What are you skills Sir....?" She looked to Walden curiously, "I apologize what was your name again?" She chuckled as they reached the Quarry. "It should be fun even with life-threatening dangers."
Rogna looks to the newcomer and listens as they walk. Hearing a companions fighting style will be beneficial for future fights. "Yes, what will you be doing in combat should it arise?"
Walden blinks a couple times. Now the armadillo's on the spot, and it's clear from his expression he's not used to this. "Ohh, um, I'm terribly sorry! I don't even really know anyone here, do I? I'm Walden," he says. "I guess I'd say I'm a bit of a handyman. Need to get something fixed, or need to get patched up, I've got the stuff for it. And I did my year of service already, so I can swing an axe alright." He clears his throat and mutters, "Thank goodness for soul gems though..."
Ryusho chuckles softly, "So we have two smiths, and a handyman.." he rumbles to himself, "Well we won't be dealign with broken gear for long at all if that happens.." he says with a grin, though he nods a bit at the comment about soul gems...
Zevran smirks as he hears Ryusho's comment. "Hrm, so that means only a few of us are heavily geared for combat right now? Fantastic, that means more fighting for me." He says with a smile. This might turn out to be a very good day for him.
The Badger tilts her head a bit at they approach the Ruin. "So your more of a supporter, Alright then here is the plan for you. When danger hits you have four very large and very strong fighters with you. Help who need help and keep our opponets off balance, from what I've been through most shadows attack the largest creature first so you'll have better time to prepare than we will, use that to your advantage." She looked at the Ruins before her, A cave with an open maw covered in different carvings of various folk fighting with each other. The most horrifying part is the entrance is shaped like a bat skull with its fangs being the only entry way. "How did folk miss something like this for so long.....?" She looking around for a moment, "There was supposed to be a guard here.... Is everyone ready to enter?" She slides her hammer from her back and holds the weapon out. "I am."
Ryusho blinks slowly, "lovely..they attack the largest folk first, huh?" He says with a roll of his eyes, "Well, That means Im going to get pummled today." he says with a partial sigh, "Oh well, not like I am un-used to stuff like that." he says shaking himself off as he gets himself ready, preparing his weapons as well, "I am ready as well, Lady Ironsoul, and I will do my best." he says bowing his head a bit.
Rogna laughs and nods. "I believe I will be seeing my fair share of fighting." he says as he draws both of his swords. "I am ready to proceed." he says as he eyes their surroundings thouroughly.
Walden takes a deep breath to steady himself, and he nods a couple times. "Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I'm sorta the opposite of reckless! W-wait, no, I mean, I'm brave and all, I just... I'm... We'll all be fine!" He stares at the bat-skull maw and gulps hard. "We'll be fine."
