Escort to Gerudo Valley, Part 1

<DM>	-=QUEST START=-
*	DM kicks Maliki, Neon_Mercilion and Vincent_Blaze to the main gate of Hyrule Village. It's night time, with a crescent moon high above with a clear and starry night.
<Neon_Mercilion>	Heh.
<Neon_Mercilion>	Nice out.
<Vincent_Blaze>	What a beautiful night.
*	Maliki breaths in deeply and looks up into the sky with a smile looking up at the stars and the moon high above "certianly is" he says before lowing his head back down and grining a little "well it looks like we are locked out for the night hmm?"
<DM>	*Err, on the inside of the Hyrule Village, not outside.*
<Neon_Mercilion>	(There's a roof?)
<Maliki>	(sorry)
<Neon_Mercilion>	(...Oh wait, didn't read. XD)
<DM>	(You're within the area enclosed by the walls, lol)
<DM>	*A fair, middle-aged woman approaches you. She appears to be a Hylian, with long red hair that's braided at the bottom. She wears a green dress with a red overcoat, and she smiles innocently at you.*
<Maliki>	(to the main gate sorry XD)
*	Neon_Mercilion yawns
<DM>	*Behind the woman appears to be a carriage led by two horses. I love how the Zelda universe uses all these distinct animals, and suddenly, horses. Normal. Horses.*
*	X_X is now known as Woman
<Woman>	Greetings. How do you fare?
*	Woman bows slightly as she asks for your wellbeing.
<Maliki>	"i am very well my self how are you ?" *bows a little back "
*	Neon_Mercilion continues looking out at the sky.
*	Vincent_Blaze goes and grabs her hand. "good evening madam, what a beautiful night this is but alas its not nealy as beautiful as you."
<Vincent_Blaze>	nearly*
*	Neon_Mercilion continues doing what he's doing, not really ignoring everyone, but just seemingly not a part of the conversation.
<Woman>	Oh my. Well...
*	Woman holds her hand up to her mouth in slight awe.... but she interrupts the awkwardness.
<Woman>	Ahem...
<Woman>	I am Tessa Farlon, a diplomat of Hyrule Castle.
*	Woman is now known as TessaFarlon
<Neon_Mercilion>	Hmm?
*	Neon_Mercilion pays attention upon hearing the word diplomat.
<TessaFarlon>	I seek your assistance. Would you care to escort me to Gerudo Valley?
<TessaFarlon>	I am unarmed and unable to defend myself against the terrors the lurk Hyrule Field at night.
*	Neon_Mercilion enters the conversation
<Maliki>	"Well i wasn't exactly heading that way but I've never been much for planing to far ahead so I'm fairly free to do so.. hmm why not yes"
<Neon_Mercilion>	So you're looking for a sellword of sorts?
<TessaFarlon>	A... what?
*	Vincent_Blaze Without a second to think screams. "I would do anything for a beautiful woman such as yourself!!!"
<Neon_Mercilion>	....
<Neon_Mercilion>	As I was saying
<Neon_Mercilion>	A sellsword
<Neon_Mercilion>	A Mercenary
<Neon_Mercilion>	Somebody who helps people for money
<DM>	*Your scream echoes throughout the southern end of the village through this cold, desolate night. Congrats and nice confession, bro.*
<TessaFarlon>	I see.
<Neon_Mercilion>	If you require assistance...
<Neon_Mercilion>	100 rupees at the very least.
<TessaFarlon>	I will give a reward of 250 Rupees to each of you upon completion of this task. Shall that be fair?
<Neon_Mercilion>	Alrighty
*	Vincent_Blaze yes that would be perfect my lady!
<Vincent_Blaze>	(sorry was typing something else didnt go as far back as i should of)
<Maliki>	"sounds more then fair"
*	TessaFarlon bows once again to you all.
*	DM slams his head against a wall of pure grammar, only to find it overload his mind. Nevermind me, carry on.
*	Vincent_Blaze bows
<TessaFarlon>	Thank you for taking on my request. We shall depart at once. Stay close to the carriage, please.
*	Neon_Mercilion puts on his gauntlets and scarf.
*	TessaFarlon boards the carriage.
<Neon_Mercilion>	Okay then, there are some fairly tough monsters, so I suggest you all be careful
*	Vincent_Blaze checks his sword
*	Neon_Mercilion boards the carriage
<DM>	*Neon points out that he, himself, is clearly not a monster. Note to self - drop a Goriya on Neon sometime this quest.*
<Vincent_Blaze>	What do you mean by that? Arent you going to escort her as well?
<Neon_Mercilion>	Just giving a fair warning is all.
<Neon_Mercilion>	I'm a sellsword
<Neon_Mercilion>	It's my job to protect people.
<DM>	*The horses begin to move slowly, and the carriage begins its journey out towards Hyrule Field. It's moving at a fast walking pace.*
<Neon_Mercilion>	I need to wake myself up
*	Neon_Mercilion jumps out of the carriage and follows it on foot.
<DM>	*Neon, you board the carriage and find most of its room is taken up by a large barrel, about 5 feet wide and 8 feet tall. Tessa Farlon is taking one of the two seats in the carriage.*
<Neon_Mercilion>	(O_O)
<DM>	*Neon, you jump off the carriage, because that's how waking up works.*
*	Maliki shrugs and jogs along with the cariage and looks around the area directly in front of us , he smiles a little and  looks over the carriage to  check its wheels and the like.
<Neon_Mercilion>	(Walking wakes people up. :3)
*	Vincent_Blaze follows the carriage at a decent clip.
<DM>	*The wheels appear to be in good condition. They're mostly wooden, plated with steel supports, as is the rest of the carriage.*
<DM>	*You get to Hyrule Field. The guards that were protecting the drawbridge head into the walls, and the drawbridge closes. Have fun!*
<Neon_Mercilion>	Stay cautious, everyone.
<Vincent_Blaze>	I will, I will.
<DM>	*You hear nothing save for insect chatter and the light blowing of the wind, though Vincent, with your improved hearing, you're able to tell that in about 100 feet away in all directions, various things are lurking under the ground.*
<Vincent_Blaze>	There is something near....
*	Vincent_Blaze readies his sword.
<Maliki>	"isn't there always ?"
<DM>	*The carriage continues onwards, to the West, despite Vincent's warning.*
*	Neon_Mercilion holds his still still in its sheath
<Neon_Mercilion>	*sword
*	Maliki grins softly and scans the area keeping his eyes wide open "Don't worry i've got pretty good eyes besides it is best to keep moving none the less"
<DM>	*Maliki, you are able to see a pair of red eyes hovering through the darkness ahead.*
<Maliki>	"theres some kind of creature up ahead guys"
<Neon_Mercilion>	Your race has good eyesight, correct? In that case, be cautious everyone.
<Neon_Mercilion>	We'll probably be approaching danger soon.
<Vincent_Blaze>	Yes.
<Maliki>	"a pair of red eyes from what i can see"
<Vincent_Blaze>	It sounds like only one.
<DM>	(By the way, in the tutorial, enemy stats were listed. When you encounter enemies in quests, their stats are hidden (that is, Power, Courage, Wisdom, Hearts, and Magic).)
<Maliki>	(alrighty)
<DM>	*The carriage gets close enough to the pair of hovering red eyes. It appears to be a Keese.*
<DM>	*As the carriage comes into range, the Keese rams into the side of the carriage.*
*	X__X is now known as Keese
<Neon_Mercilion>	(My current battle music choice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Mqga-ZuVeYM )

*	Keese hits the side of the carriage with a knock, but it doesn't really do any damage. The carriage comes to a halt.
*	TessaFarlon speaks in a muffled yell, which you all are able to hear just fine.
<TessaFarlon>	Yes? Does someone require me?
<DM>	(brb 1 minute)
*	Orithan gives channel half-operator status to CrouchingZoraHiddenDeku
<Vincent_Blaze>	(back sorry guys)
