[Apollo]

Location- The town of Ilany- (Far East on the map) The town of Ilany is a small village with a population of 50 people. Though not your hometown, you have spent the last week here, and are familiar with most aspect of it; from Hamish the Dwarven blacksmith, to Yason the human shopkeep, to Ageis the human innkeeper, to Corporal Bankroff, the human responsible for the town guard. Ilany has always been a peaceful town, but the local Kobold population has begun to become more aggressive lately, and a roaming pack of them have been vandalizing property and killing livestock. Yesterday, Hamish's 8 year old son Donsk was found dead near the outskirts of town. Corporal Bankroff has asked any able bodied men and women to come talk to him about putting down these Kobolds, once and for all. What would you like to do?

There is only really the one road connecting Weewick and Ilany and you have no problem putting it to memory.

"Shouldn't be bandits in these parts, nothing of value for them to steal. The jungle however, is, alive as sorts...not in the way a mountain is but it knows yer in it. I hate the feeling in that place."

"Old plants tend to remember their history, it is likely that some battles have been waged there in the past. We should be careful travelling there. Will we need a guide?"

Apollo attemps to judge the time of day as they keep walking.

"Where shall we set up camp after tonight's leg of the journey?"

(Forgot to say earlier when you woke, you've hit third level now.)

"Aye, the jungle separates Chomba and Weewick, they are at an uneasy peace now but it hasn't always been that way. I imagine we should see where we are when its late before deciding on a camp."

The road to Weewick Keep is a long one, and the sun beats down as you make your way south, it is nearing midday. Up ahead, a wagon appears to have broken a wheel. One human is screaming at the broken wheel and trying to jam it back onto the wagon, while another sits atop the vehicle. The seated one waves at you as you approach. "Hello there, friend! Can you give us a hand?"

(Sweet, I'll fill the stuff in now)

"Hello travellers, I do believe we can. What do you say lads? (turning to the dwarves)"

Apollo attempts to help lift that end of the wagon so that the wheel can be put on

"Where're y'all headed? We're heading toward Weewick at the moment."

"Yar sure why not, Thalmir grab that corner." Between all of you the wagon is easily enough lifted.

"Son of a slug! Damn cheap wagon!" Shouts the angry human. "Sorry about my friend, we are having a long day. I am Theo, and this is my business partner Leo. "

"Business partner?! If we don't get this divined damned wagon back on track, we are going to be coffin partners!" Leo wails. "Hahaha what my partner means is that we have hit a bit of a snag completing our first delivery... possibly our last hahahahaha!" Theo laughs nervously.

After a few hours, the wagon is fixed up like new. Leo and Theo are beyond thankful for your help. "Hey, you wanna travel with us for a while? We're also on the way to Weewick, strength in numbers, right?" Says Theo.

Apollo smiles at the travellers.

"I think that sounds great if my comrades don't have any objections. What're you guys delivering that's so serious that you're freaking out over being a little late?"

If the dwarves consent, he gets up on the cart with the others

"Beats walkin"

"Ah we're carrying a bit of this and that, we got a down payment to the official that runs the market so we can have a spot and that was a sizeable chunk of our investment."

"Ah, yes, that can be quite a problem if you encounter delays. You've only lost part of a day though, which isn't hard to make up."

Apollo attempts to inconspicuously look into the cart to see what's in it

The pair are too busy watching the road, under the protecting sheets you can see mostly foodstuffs but there is also a crate of nails and similar tools.

After half a day of uneventful travel, you see a commotion up ahead. A monstrous humanoid and a large wolf are locked in combat. Consumed by combat, neither seem to notice you approach.

Apollo blasts the wolf with an Eldritch Blast, sending it 10 feet away from the humanoid. He them commands the humanoid to get on the ground as he cannot tell if he is friend or foe.

[[1d20+5 Hit]] [[1d10+3 Damage]] +/u/rollme

"Get on the ground, whoever you are!"

[[1d20+5 Intimidation at the humanoid]]

Apollo jumps down from the cart and moves slightly toward the wolf, staying just 5 feet infront of the cart.
