Chapter 16 by Sloth013
Do thing's go according to plan?
Yazas' seems to think so.
The trip to Utnop was uneventful to say the least. Emerald Nightlock had dissapeared, and besides another hour or so of Marco Pollo to find a new route to the surface you successfully made it to the North side of the River settlement. The three of you camped out not far from the road, taking shifts to watch it for when the captives arrived. You waited for several hours before the badger came running back to camp to get you.
Coming down the dirt road was a small caravan, with only two carts. They both were protected by a handful of guards, and at the front, was a hero. The first cart was small, being pulled by a donkey, and had a few barrels and pouches on it. Behind them was a cart with a large metal cage with five individuals locked away. Three adults and two children. Looking at your compadres, you whisper to them the plan. "Here's what we do..."
...
"Good afternoon Gentlemen." You say as the caravan appears before you.
"You. Aren't you the thief who snuck into Utnop to steal some supplies? You have to be the stupidest Drow I've ever heard of to have shown up outnumbered like this." The hero sneers.
"But you have heard of me." You say.
"Indeed. What is you want Thief?" He barks out. You quickly take a look at him, hoping for the best. He's wearing a mixture of leather and iron plate armor, and at his side is a sword.

"What a fortuitous situation Achion. Its been a while, I'm surprised we even came across each other. But then again, how many Drow do you come across around here." You snicker, remembering how you killed him.
"That was you!?" He cries in rage before unsheathing his great sword. "Leave now Yazas, or die." He grits out. You slowly pull your spear from your back and make a show of spinning it around yourself before planting it in the ground.
"I'd be glad to leave you, but I can't leave empty handed. If you were to perhaps incentivize me, I shall be on my merry way." You smile.
"How about your life? That must be pretty good incentive for you to leave." Achion says as he levels his sword at you.
"True, I value my life, but if I die I simply respawn back home. No, I require something more... exotic. Like perhaps what's in that cage there." You say looking towards the cart.
"No. My mission is to deliver them to Utnop. Now enough talk!" He says taking a step forward. You smirk, causing Achion to charge you, only to get stuck in the ground due to an entanglement. You pull out your throwing knives and huck one into the face of one of the guards, killing him instantly.
The Gnoll and Badger leap from their hiding spots, killing one of the rear guard and damaging another. Three remain uninjured while the hero is trying to pull himself from the earth.
"Heeeyyyyaaa!" The nearest guard yells as he goes to stab you with his spear. You meet him half way with your own, knocking him to the side before slamming the back end of the spear into his head, knocking him out.
"That's it!" Achion yells as he finally is free. He charges at you and swings wide, only for you to fall to the ground and roll back on to your feet. You swipe at him with your spear, cutting into his shoulder a bit, but it seems his armor is quite well made. He slashes once more, clipping your arm, but you spin your spear around and slam the back into his face, sending him, and possible a few teeth, flying back.
He gets back up, pissed, and goes for a diagonal slash but you redirect it with your spear. "Come now Achion, this is far to easy. You should be winning this endeavor." You taunt. He snarls and kicks you back a few feet before stabbing you in the side with his sword. You wince in pain and take a look at your health bar. It's just under half, that stab doing some critical damage. He's got just a tad bit more health, but clearly, he either cheated his way to his level or only did easy quests.
You crach your neck and twirl your spear over your head before lighting it with moonfire. "Now I'm angry." You say as you go on the offense. You stab towards his solar plexus but he parries with his sword, knocking your aim to the side before bouncing off his metal pauldron. He lifts his sword to slash at you again but you quickly chuck a knife at him. He dodges the knife but not your spear, leaving a large bloody burned gash on his cheek.
He stumbles back, holding on to his face in pain. You take this opportunity to stab his right through the chest. He falls to the floor and lets out a curse before dissapearing in a gold light. On the ground is a loot pouch. You turn to your companions and see they have taken care of the guards, killing half of them and knocking out the rest. The two cart drivers are huddling under one of the carts in panic.
"Gentlemen, if you could come out from under there." You say as you pick up the bags. You dismiss the notification of new items, knowing your on a time limit here before Achion comes back with more heroes. The two drivers slowly stand up but are cowering in fear. "Relax, I'm not going to kill you. Your guards will wake up in a few minutes, the alive ones, and we'll all go on our merry way." You smile.
"Now, if you could hand over your goods, and the key to the cage there we call all go home and have a wank." You joke, trying to lighten the mood. The men hand you a bag and a key before mounting their stations. You go to the cage and unlock it. "Now that that mess is all over, you five are free to go." You say before raising your eyebrow at the people before you.
