I have a hard time keeping up guys
I feel you lol When I sit down to write on a Sunday or Monday there's always like 40 unread posts to catch up on lol
We're gonna need good coverage to protect to protect the main three, hmmmmm.
Half of Zell's mind was occupied with his thoughts. The other half stayed on alert as he spied the gaps in the trees. Most of the animal noises he'd heard so far didn't sound like threats. Nothing big or predatory.
What class is Clive? Hard to say.
But then, a lot of predators moved in silence. And Zell wasn't even sure what kinds of predators this world even had.
Rangers are fast, probably faster than the mages. They might benefit from more space.
Zell was startled when Joji broke the silence between them, but he supressed the urge to jump out of his skin, not wanting to look like he was scared out here. He turned his head up to the larger man, regarding him in the corner of his eye.
“Why do you think that cube is so important? Do you think there’s something very powerful inside? Or maybe the cube itself is some sort of uber powerful item?”
Joji sounded anxious himself. The big guy was a little bothered by the mystery of the item they were delivering. "Hmmmm... could be any of those things. I haven't even seen it. Probably wouldn't give me a clue even I had. Maybe one of the mages have some instinctive insight or something." Then he shrugged it off. "Tee-bee-haeche, I wouldn't mess with the thing. It belonged to the enemy and, like you said, it's probably important. Let's just be on guard until it's out of our hands."
“But I’m wondering if we’re gonna have to ask around for information. Or if whoever we’re giving this cube to would know what’s going on.”
"Let's hope so, big guy," Zell affirmed. Then turned his eyes back on the surround. "Let's hope so."
...
Zell thought it was an eagle. The thing was huge and coming at them fast. He bobbed left in a lazy effort to dodge as the bird flew around them, gripping the hilt of his longsword behind his shoulder. But it stopped upon a tree branch and started showing off it's wingspan. Zell didn't let go of his sword's hilt, not yet convinced it wasn't going to attack. That is, until he saw and heard Fenna's reaction.
"Huh," Zell muttered as the woman just beckoned the thing over... and it actually came over! Like a god-damn trained dog! Now he slowly let go of his longsword, rather amazed at the sight before him. He'd never seen anything like it. MacKensie started gushing over the thing and Zell mentally smiled, but the smile didn't reach his face as he was still pretty shocked at the sight of this huge bird just chillin on Fenna's arm. No amount shock could deny though... It was pretty fucking cool, to say the least.
...
When they stopped for camp on the hill, Zell rubbed his chin as he thought about what to do. He guessed that a fire would be built in the centre, but not by him. There were a few rocks and tree stumps in convenient places for seats, but not enough of them, so Zell looked around and saw a fallen tree trunk that would be perfect for three or four of them to sit on.
"Hey James, mind giving me a hand over here?" he asked, waving the wizard over to him. When James closed in, he explained the plan to each grab an end of the tree trunk and move it into the camp site amongst the other make-shift seats of nature. He also decided to tell James something else. "Hey mate. Some of them soldiers in Hommas had a lot of good things to say about you - talking about how they owe you their lives for the orders you were handing out in the battle. Very sweet," he grinned at the man, but then decided to be a bit more serious for the next part. "They also told me that you dragged me across the battlefield to safety while I was unconcious - Kept me out of trouble. I appreciate you looking out for me, mate. When your in the shit, I'll be there to return the favour. Count on it."
He offered his hand to shake on the promise. Suddenly MacKensie went past them and said, "Two peas in a pod."
Zell quirked an eyebrow as he watched her go. "What was that about?" he asked, perplexed.

I did the poem partly as a bit of fun for us but mostly to support @Calle's hard work on the site. She's made a great competition for people who like that kinda thing to enjoy
@Dark CloudI wrote a poem about Clive and entered it into roleplayerguild's Microfiction & Poetry contest #10 lol
“Perhaps if we stick together, we would have a better chance of beating this bitch.”
Zell raised his eyebrows, impressed. So Joji wasn't just in on ploughing through any obstacles to find answers. No, the big guy was all in on taking out Madam Big kahuna of monster nation. As far as Zell was concerned, they were dropping off some cube and then asking around as to just why the hell they ended up in this world. He hadn't really considered the prospect of fighting in the war.
Fuck it, why not.
"Well, my schedule just happens to be wide open," Zell replied with a smirk. "Count me in, big guy."
Joji asked about length of the journey and Zell listened as Adam answered. Zell was pretty certain the younger guy was a Druid Class adventurer, from what he'd found out about the various classes, plus the fact that Adam declared to the group he had some kind of plant magic. It was a for-sure fit. Adam was handling himself well at the head of the column, keeping everyone informed and confidently making good decisions. At least, Zell assumed they were good decisions. What did he know about travelling through forests n stuff? He went to Peru in his Gap Year and told some guys he was up for going on the four-day mountain hike to see Machu Picchu... he ended up blowing all his money on partying and never did it. That was the closest Zell had ever come to camping in his life.
After Adam had warned everyone to stay alert, Zell shifted his priorities and started keeping an eye on the surroundings. There was no guarantee that they'd seen the last of The Witch Queens soldiers, and Zell didn't fancy getting snuck up on. As a Fighter or Barbarian Class (which was likely what he was) he needed to be ready to get in front of the magic users and Rangers. His job in a party was to defend and provide space for the others to cast and fire. He looked at the group and thought about where best to position himself if they were suddenly attacked. Having experience in sports, team formations in dynamic games, it wasn't too hard to grasp.
He'd be ready.
Zell's head was on a slow swivel as he took in the tranquil vista he walked through. It was certainly a new experience for the man who who'd lived in big cities his whole life. The song of birds, the random calls of animals - nature didn't shut up! But it wasn't bad. Just different. Occasionally he waved away an insect that flew in his face.
He started to get bored with walking in silence.
"Hey, big guy," he said to Joji next to him. He offered his hand to shake. "Nice to have a fellow swordsman around. All these magic-nerds, amarite."
He was only messing around, but still clearly jealous that he didn't have any magical powers like the others. Joji didn't look like the type who liked to joke around, but Zell tried anyway. In fact, speaking of Joji; Zell knew something about the man just by looking at him, and that was that the big guy was no stranger to 'the other side' of civilian life. The Underworld. Zell had rubbed shoulders with some shady people in order to buy the amount of product required to make a decent living as a drug dealer. In the criminal world, there were a lot of guys like Zell, who weren't tough or who weren't in too deep. But then there were the 'real cats' who lived it and thrived in it. Those particular people - you could just tell who they were - it was in their eyes.
Joji had those eyes.
"Guys like us gotta stick together. You know, guys who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty," he continued. Then his voice got a little quieter. "In this life or the last." Zell held the man's gaze for a second. "Back in England, you rub shoulders with certain individuals, kinda hard to keep your hands clean, ya know."
He left it at that. In the streets, a loose tongue was a quick way to get yourself sent to jail or the hospital. That no longer mattered to Zell, seeing as he was now Skelly Slaying Swordsman: Hero fromm the Sky. But still. It would be disrepectful to just start blabbing to Joji when he didn't even know the guy. And whatever the specifics of Joji's background were, he was very clearly a man of respect.
"You really think we'll get some answers in Valhiem? Something tells me it's not gonna be that easy."
@TeyaoLAD'S NIGHT OUT Let's goo!
@Eviledd1984Damn bruv, I didn't realise Joji was 6' 10" tall! I misread your profile as 'six feet' lol. Need to edit an old post of mine. I don't think it changes much tho so no biggy. Wow, we have two giants in the party.
@Eviledd1984@GoblinguyOur guys need to find a shady tavern in Valhiem and start some arm wrestling or cage fighting action. Make some extra cash. Arthur and Joji with the muscle. Zell talking in the suckers-ahem-challengers, taking bets. You two in?
