Damian turns to face the group, nodding. "Everything should be set. Kira here will be dropping you off in Oakhurst." He gestures to the dark-skinned human woman behind him, who smiles and raises a hand in greeting.

"My thanks for organising such adequate transport Damian," Genken chuckles, "I'm sure the trip to Oakhurst and onto the magic apple."

"Good Morning, Kira. Thank you for agreeing to escort us to Oakhurst. Would you mind if I sat up front?" Arisys asks. 

Lar-Dun takes a seat as far away from the others as possible. Being in a confined carriage for who knows how long with only a few other people makes him nervous. "Please don't do anything on this trip. That'd be real swell, ya know." He pleads to his patron quietly as he climbs aboard.

Summer sat comfortably in the back as she took out. her blank book. She began writing notes about having adequate companions who get along with one another and ways to validate the legitimacy of sponsors.

"My pleasure," Kira tells Arisys with a warm smile. "And go right ahead." She climbs up into the driver's seat of the cart the group is riding in, sitting to the side so there's room for Arisys to join her.

Arisys approaches Damian before the wagons depart, "How do we notify you once the job is complete? Is your patron in town here, or are we to deliver the object of interest elsewhere?"

Upon his answer, she will clamber up into the seat beside Kira ready to depart.

 Damian pulls a slip of paper from his pocket and scribbles down an address on it. "Deliver it to this location. It's here, in town." He hands the paper to Arisys.

Arisys will slip the note in between some pages of her notebook and stow it in her backpack. "Thank you." She will turn her attention to the road ahead, eager to begin on this new journey. "Is everyone all set? We are losing daylight." She calls back to the rest of her group.

Lar-Dun gives gives a thumbs up. Though he is eager to leave the town and get underway, he doesn't want to leave at the same time, reminiscing his life pre-service-to-a-demon-lord. He stares out the back as they depart with a solemn face, contemplating how to deal with all of this.

As the group climbs into the wagon, the goliath slips off his bundle of weapons and tosses it in before him, then hefts himself into the carriage alongside the rest of the party. He settles down next to Lar-Dun. Seeing the look on the man's face, Ondrej claps him on the shoulder and says with a smile "Cheer up, the fun begins soon! You're not scared of a little danger are you?"

"Right then," Kira calls back to you. "If everyone's set, we'll be heading out." The other two drivers assume their positions, and at Kira's command, all three set off. Soon, the city streets have faded into the distance and you're traveling down an open road.

(The journey is several days long, leaving plenty of time for the characters to interact. Feel free to roleplay as much as you want, then we can move the plot along.)

As they leave the city and after being on the road for an hour or so, Genken eyes the other carriages with the supplies. "What's on those carts?" he asks Kira, "Didn't know we were escorting goods as well as apple collecting."

Lar-Dun looks up at Ondrej with a half smile. "I'm not scared of danger, no. I'm scared of what happens when I get in danger." He says, rather cryptically. He doesn't feel that sharing the circumstances of his patronage currently would benefit anyone, least of all himself. Being cryptic won't help either, though. It would probably be best if he just stayed quiet about it all. "So where do you come from?" He asks Ondrej, trying to change the subject.

"There's a wide variety of supplies back there, just about anything you could think of, really," Kira tells you, keeping her eyes trained on the road. "We buy them in bulk for cheap in the city, then sell them to shopkeeps in smaller towns who might have trouble acquiring the items locally. We make this trip about once a month."

Genken chuckles, "And everyone went on a shopping trip just hours ago," he says quietly to himself, "When the shop is right there with us. Oh well, no matter," he shrugs and smiles.

Summer quietly was in the back, rubbing her chin. After finishing her notes, she closed her book and placed it in her backpack. She took a moment to stretch before addressing her companions.

"I guess this is the perfect time to get to know each other," she began."Who should start?"

"Well since you mentioned it Summer, it would be good to know a bit more about you all. As for me, I have been travelling the last year or so with a group of merchants and entertainers. At Fharlanghn's will, I left to pursue other opportunities. I'm striving to learn all that I can about the world around me. How about you?"

Arisys shifts in her seat to face Summer in the back of the wagon.

Lar-Dun looks up at Ondrej with a half smile. "I'm not scared of danger, no. I'm scared of what happens when I get in danger." He says, rather cryptically. He doesn't feel that sharing the circumstances of his patronage currently would benefit anyone, least of all himself. Being cryptic won't help either, though. It would probably be best if he just stayed quiet about it all. "So where do you come from?" He asks Ondrej, trying to change the subject.

 Ondrej gives Lar-Dun a puzzled look, but shakes it off. "Me? My clan lives in the mountains south of here, by the sea. I left them to travel around, see what the world down here has to offer," he clenches his fist "and best it in combat, so that I'm strong enough to lead my people when I return."

At Arisys's introduction he turns to look at the gnome. "Knowledge eh? Never had much use for it myself. A strong back and a sharp blade are enough for me."

"Being so small, it is difficult to rely on strength and power. For me knowledge is power. In your case, knowing someone's weaknesses helps you strike with your blade in the most effective spot. You can use that to your advantage." Arisys pretend to hold a dagger in one hand taking a striking stab at her other hand showing how it can slide between her fingers like gaps in someone's armor. "I would like to learn as much as I can. I've learned a lot about healing in the past year, you may be grateful for that someday." 

Turning her attention to Genken, "What specialties do you bring to the team?"
