Walker looked at Herder who appeared wide awake and ready for the day. "You know we are ready. This is adventuring at its' finest. We are adventurers to help those in need and you need to be able to cross that bridge safely so we will help." Walker answered him perfectly which got a laugh from Herder as he grabbed some roasted horned rabbit. "In that case, I will let you do your job and make sure the path is safe. Just let me get some action so I won't be bored." Herder laughed even more as he…-

The night went by without any interruption. Walker took the first watch and was kept company by Gill who was taking some of the regular wither spike arrows and slowly poking holes in the arrow heads. His goal was to set them up so that the holes would be opened when he fired an arrow to release the sleeping oils from the dreamland sheep. This was a time consuming task but Walker got the chance to see Gil at work and shaping an arrow. It was also a good way for Walker to learn what Gil could and could…

Gil was in his own head thinking about these sheep monsters that someone he had met before was herding. It was an interesting fact to learn and showed just how little he knew about this aspect of farming. He had only even memorized the information about plants, now that he was seeing another aspect he was becoming much more interested. "So there are sheep that breath fire? That sounds pretty hard to believe." Walker had not heard of such a monster before. However, he was not closed minded about this…

Herder stopped eating. He did not expect this question to arise or that Walker would have an appraisal skill. "Well, that is a less exciting story than you might expect." Herder looked around the fire and found that all the attention was on him. Even the small black serpent had raised its head off the dragon's back to look at him. Herder realized that he had become the designated story teller for the moment. "When I was half my age I was herding a group of salt lizards to the coast line. I went along the…

"Sorry for getting held up. We were doing a little investigating on why people aren't crossing the bridge." Walker greeted Herder who was already resting by the fore with the white bull behind him. "I thought you would find the answers, so what is the damage? Will I make my delivery on time?" Herder was worried that he would not make his deadline and lose out on the full payment he needed. "We should be fine, my party took the quest to slay the orcs that are causing the problem. But if you want to…

"We appreciate the offer but word has already been sent for the guild to offer quests to multiple adventure groups." The guard still thought that they would be taking Walker's party off of another quest and knew that could hurt the standing of a young party no matter the level of the party if they gave up a quest. "Let me check with out what quests our manager sent us," Walker said this and started to check out the system to find that the rewards for the quest issued were low. The funds needed to come…

Walker was thinking and left Remey in silence for a minute. Her patience ran out and she tapped his arm with her fist slightly. "What are you thinking about? Tell me what the deal is." She looked like she was going to actually try and hit him if he kept holding it all to himself. Walker Wanted to hold off a little more to tease her but was a little wary of her next real punch and the force that might be behind it. "The bull is called a furry tainted bull. It comes from over the oceans in a place called…

"Hey Herder, My party member just grabbed us some dinner if you are interested later?" Walker saw Herder patrolling in their direction with an eye on Su after she had defeated the hiding horned rabbit. "Who am I to say no to a fresh meal? Of course, I will need to get the cattle settled then I will join you for a break." He smiled and welcomed the offer. However, he was smiling only for a second when he heard Midnight growling. "It looks like there are two more of those pests." Herder took one of…

"So, a herder named herder?" Remey was on edge about the lack of name the man had given them. She thought that there had to be something suspicious if he was just going by his jobs title. "He probably just gets a lot of farmers that call him that instead of bothering to learn his name. It's the same with carpenters who build the fences or adventurers that come to exterminate pests." Gil had already gotten used to that. He had been called hunter along with his father when they had shared meet with…

"Those orcs were at the river drinking or may have crossed it to get to this side. I am worried that more might be around." Walker voiced his opinion while looking toward the water shining in the distance. It was close enough to see but not enough to see any small details with his eyes. "Leader, I can not discern details. But I can see that there are smaller shapes around the water." Su was able to glean a small amount of information, which was better than what Walker could grasp. "I hope they are just…
