It starts off ok

Together the three lovers went to the waterfall to wash and prepare for their job. Afterwards, Nia returned to her room to gather her gear. Leagon and Sash went to Leck to try and get some weapons and armor of their own. When they arrived, the smith was hard at work. Sash noticed her two new sabers hanging on a wall next to some black leather armor. When they came in, the large Minotaur called them over.

"Ah our newest fighters have arrived. Sash, that armor next to your swords is for you. Try it on. As for you young Leagon, lets look at the rack over here and see which weapons suit you."

Sash went over to the armor and lifted it down. It took her a few minutes, but she got the armor on and managed the buckles. It fit perfectly thanks to the measurements Leck had taken the day before, and like her swords, it was really light and easy to move in. It didn't quite cover her as well as her old armor used to, but it was quite nice, even if it did dip to reveal her cleavage. If nothing else it would distract her opponents. Next she buckled on her swords. After that, she looked over to where Leagon was getting ready.

The young bull was now hefting a large sword. He gave it a few experimental swings and Leck shook his head. Then he picked up a pair of gloves with steel rivets on the knuckles. He tossed them over to the younger bull and Leagon put the sword aside and tried them all. He gave a few punches and Leck nodded and put up his hands. He charged and Leagon, although looking quite scared managed to avoid the blow. The younger fighter jabbed but Leck simply knocked the fist aside and gave a powerful uppercut. Leagon staggered back, barely avoiding the attack before moving in. He wasn't as powerful as Leck, but he had the clear advantage in speed. Two quick jabs hit Leck square in the stomach. Before a third could hit, Leck held up a hand laughing a little.

"Good, good. I knew Nia had trained you more for speed than strength. Her training is some of the best at drawing out a fighter's potential."

After his weapons were figured out, Leck got him a set of leather armor. With their weapons and armor gathered, the pair went outside the mine to meet with Nia and the others. When they arrived, they found the caravan already there. Nia was there with four other Minotaurs. Also standing there was Leese and several of his men. It seemed like there were eight humans altogether. When they arrived, Nia introduced them to the other Minotaurs. The twin brothers Vain and Raid were both large males bith white and brown fur. They carried large battle axes and looked almost as big as Leck. Next was a smaller male named Garn who had a spear and light brown fur. The last one in the group was another female that was the same age as Leagon. Her name was Tryn and she carried a massive bow. After Nia had helped with the introductions, Leese made his way over.

He was tall and had short black hair. His face and body were all slim and his whole demeanor was shifty. His men looked like a mixture of retired mercenaries and former bandits. Sash remembered how shifty he had seemed last time she had bought from him, so none of this was a surprise to her. Leese looked her up and down, before giving her a smirk.

"Oh yes, I can see that this group will be perfect for what we need."

"Shall we leave then," Nia asked, looking a little creeped out by the man.
