Today was shaping up to be a good day for Geoffrey. For starters this particular pub, unlike other pubs, didn't try to argue with him bringing his livestock. It was always a hassle when the tavern staff had some complaints about him bringing sheep and a pig into the bar. Hell, this tavern even had livestock working at the counter! It made sense that if they were fine keeping this domesticated animal indoors, it would be no problem for others to bring their own.

But more to the point, this was a good day because of that fancy-schmancy feller who walked into the tavern. Of course, Geoffrey had no idea who this man was. All he really knew for sure, was that this was the only beacon of civilization in this forest, as far as he could see. But the peasant did know one key-fact that separated that guy, from all the other weirder individuals who would wear strange looking things. And that fact was that man was not welcomed. Plus the noise made a good cover for the shrieking coming from the burlap bags slung over his shoulder.

For some reason or another, this man was hated by most of the patrons of the bar. Geoffrey grinned as he heard loads of commotion. He didn't listen to whatever the reason behind this was. No, Geoffrey focused on the important thing about this. There was a mob. This mob was angry. And this mob wanted justice. Geoffrey stood up from the floor where he was sitting and pushed his sheep forward. With a baleful baa, the complied and moved a bit forwards.

With his pig held underneath his right arm, Geoffrey pushed on the pig. As the peasant did this, his pig immediately came back into consciousness, as it began flailing its head and feet about. "SOOOOEEEEEEEEEE!" cried out the pig.

"Tha's right! GUILTY!" Geoffrey eagerly declared to the mob, ready to inflict traditional and time honored mob justice. "IT'S TIME FOR A HANGIN'! GET OUT THE ROPE, TONS OF HANGIN' TREES WAITING FOR A HANG-!"

And that was when Geoffrey noticed he was a tad late, as the Barbarian slayed the man who opposed the will of the mob.

"Also works." Well, at least justice by the mob was still done.
To the inn.
Name - Geoffrey
Age - 32
Gender - Male
Race - Human
Personality - Geoffrey's behavioral traits are what many expect from the population of the serfdom. He is a hard-working, uncultured, judgemental, and superstitious individual. All and all, he is just a quintessential commoner, who can relate to villagers and their love of forming angry mobs.



Abilities

  • Serf's Physique: Geoffrey, as a serf, has a body strengthened from hard and back-breaking work. He is a physically tough individual, capable treacherous activities for lengthy periods of time before exhaustion.
  • Serf's Knowledge: As a serf, Geoffrey has his share of knowledge. This is primarily reserved for knowing how to do laborious chores related to farming, ranching, other essentials for working the land, and knowledge about some folk tales.


Equipment

  • Clothes on his Back: Pretty much just some filth encrusted clothing.
  • Seven Month Sow: This is pretty much self explanatory. Geoffrey carries around a female pig that is seven months old. Weighing at 225 pounds, it is a smaller end sow, but still would fetch a good price at the market. Geoffrey uses this pig as a weapon, flailing it around as a makeshift hammer. For this reason the pig hates him, and will either try to fight Geoffrey or flee from him if able.
  • Fluttering burlap-sack: Slung over left shoulder, Geoffrey carries this large burlap sack to store things. which just so happens to thresh about. This is due to this sack containing a flock of pigeons, that make noise and attempt to get out of the bag.
  • Squirming burlap-sack: Slung over his right shoulder, Geoffrey carries a smaller burlap sack. However, this burlap sack shows signs of movement. This is due to this sack containing a litter of rats, which are make shrill shrieks and attempt to get out of the bag.
  • Two Chickens: Medium sized chickens that are tied upside down around his waist. Typically they try to get away from the peasant man.
  • Three Sheep: Geoffrey also has three ewes that are of a matured age. They each weigh around 92 pounds, and are by far the most co-operative of the lot, as they do not try to fight back.


Backstory - Geoffrey was born into a large serf family on the holdings of Baron Restault. He was the newest addition to Restault's property, and was set to do the same as his father before him, and his grandfather before that. Geoffrey however, was not as fortunate as the other serfs. This was due to the fact that his family tended the backcountry of the Restault Barony.

Due to his positioning on the estate, Geoffrey saw many terrible things happen, besides the general pain that is serf life. He saw one of his younger sisters get kidnapped by bandits, who hid out in the wilds beyond the tamed holdings. He saw his father get eaten by a bear, alongside other nasty things. He was at his limit for much agony as he could take. As these backwoods were a terrible place, Geoffrey made the conscious decision to flee. So when the night drew upon the land, Geoffrey took as many animals as he could and left the Restault Barony in the search for a place that has been completely tamed by civilization. Plus to a guy who was forced to stay on one patch of land for most of his life, traveling and adventuring is a neat gig.

"I am thankful that you have not been wronged by my missteps." spoke Lady Ru, as she glanced down towards Jin. "I shall try to make sure such a situation does not happen again." Guan Du tilted her head slightly to the right as she smiled at the compliment she was given.

"Your words are kind. I am appreciative of them, and that you see me as a refined woman, as it reflects well upon my father and mother, my mentors and all of their teachings, as well as myself. And I agree with your sentiments, as it is comforting to know that such values and customs are still practiced. Alongside that, I also am looking forward to your company."

Miss Xiu Ru finished with a nod. She craned her head as she heard Nao approached. Once again she seemed to have the strange manners. Perhaps she was still worried about the nobleman's daughter. Nao appeared to have little qualms with taking her and Yeong alongside the original member in her task Shurui. After Nao made her introduction, a thought dawned upon her.

Lady Guan Du Xiu Ru turned towards Nao, "I am Guan Du Xiu Ru, please forgive me for not introducing myself earlier." She then turned to Shurui, "I am Guan Du Xiu Ru, please forgive me for not introducing myself earlier.". And then finally to Jin Yeong, "I am Guan Du Xiu Ru, please forgive me for not introducing myself earlier."
Sandman was certain he had chose wisely in assigning those two pilots to investigate. Certainly they would find out what was behind the environmental disturbances. Whether it the cause was a horrible and strange organism, or his own science, or both, Sandman needed to know. It was important information to know. Well, it would be important to the alien scientist. But for now, he would need to wait before gathering what this information was.

Cradling the electronic tablet in his hands Sandman began a more thorough examination of the tablet. However early into his examination he heard the exclamations of another man, well two, who understood the matters of justice! Truly those men knew the importance of heroism!

"Precisely!" Sandman declared as he kept a firm hold of the tablet. He already risked losing the tablet once, he was not going to do that again. So for now, Sandman had to keep the hand gestures to minimum. "As long as you believe in your own justice, and let it ride alongside burning valor, nothing can stop such
HEROISM!"


With that speech done, Sandman returned his attention to the tablet. There were scientific issues that needed him.
