Crimson Company

“I don’t need anything. My nerves are fine.” The Assassin sneered at Bregil.

Bregil just shrugged and turned to Emilia.

"It's good to meet you Nyx, and you as well Bregil. It's good to have another Healer along for the journey. Maybe later we can compare notes?"

Bregil nodded, “Absolutely!”

Aldred called that it was time to head on their way. Bregil stood and grabbed her bow,arrows and satchel. When she got outside she whistled for Faervel who ran up to her. She gave him a pet as she followed the company. Some of them were riding horses, they were beautiful horses. Bregil was nervous to start this journey. It was no longer just talk she was heading out now, she wonder what kind of dangers and adventures she would face. She smiled as she trudged on.

They walked for a while till they reached some ancient elven ruins. Bregil looked at it in awe. Suddenly arrows started to descend down on them.

"Get behind something! Keep moving towards the entrance!" Aldred yelled.

Bregil and Faervel ran behind a large rock column. She peered from behind it to try and see where the arrows were coming from. She grabbed her bow getting ready to shoot. At that moment iron clad warriors came out. She tired to concentrate on summoning a large force shield. She was having a hard time trying to summon one large enough.

"Take out the archers first! Those of you that specialize in close quarters combat go for the warriors!" Aldred yelled to the group.

She broke her concentration and shot an arrow towards and archer on a ledge above the ruins.
Aldred let out a yell and Bregil looked over to see him take an arrow to the leg.

“Damn it,” she cursed looking back over the ledge and shooting another arrow. “Faervel stay by me and keep covered.”

She tried to concentrate again to summon a force field large enough and yet again she couldn't do it. She let out a frustrated yell. Useless absolutely useless.

“I've got good news and bad news,”She shouted to Aldred. “Good news is I can summon a force field, bad news is it can only cover two people, three tops maybe. Who do you want me to cover?”

Crimson Company

Bregil awoke to Faervel's nose nudging her face, she shook her head and got up. Bregil rubbed her eyes and stretched. She had to say for a makeshift shelter it wasn't too bad. Bregil gave Faervel a pat and made her way out of the shelter. It took a minute for her eyes to adjust to the light but when they did she saw men repairing the inn. Bregil smiled to herself as she made her way into the tavern stopping only briefly to tell Faervel to stay outside. He didn't put up a fight because he was hungry anyway and went off to find breakfast.

Bregil just caught the woman from last night introducing herself "For everyone who doesn't know, my name is Emilia Alders. I'm a Healer by trade and I'll be joining the Crimson Company. I have a potion that should help us stand the cold a bit better. There's one for each of you, best to take it now so it will take effect by the time we start getting up the mountains."

Bregil smiled at her as she grabbed a potion and sat next to the assassin. She recognized the potion as something her grandmother would make for travelers. Frigore Resistentia.She was very grateful that Emilia gave everyone the potion for it will come in handy. Bregil took a small swig of the potion leaving some for later. She saw the assassin doing the same only after she did. Bregil noticed she was a tense sort.

“You know I carry some herbs that are great for the nerves, it brews into a delicious tea if you want some?” she told the assassin.

Bregil then saw Nyx introduced herself to Emilia and figured she should as well.
“And my name is Bregil the wolf outside is my friend Faervel. I am a Healer as well, thank you for the Frigore Resistentia. It is very kind of you.”

Crimson Company

Bregil bowed her head slightly to Lander and wished him a goodnight as well. She smiled as she watched him go. Lander was very unusual there was something about him that made him different than anyone Bregil had ever encountered. It was very a refreshing difference, different meant unknown. Bregil always held a fondness for the unknown. It's why she agreed to join the company in the first place.

“He's a nice character,” Bregil said to Faervel who just looked up at her in response. Bregil hummed and ruffled Faervel's fur.

“Let's see if we can sneak you up stairs and get some rest,” she craned her neck looking for the bartender from earlier. She couldn't find him but she did notice the barmaid's eyes were bloodshot. There was a woman Bregil didn't recognize talking to Aldred. Her eyes were bloodshot as well and her nose was red, she also held some resemblance to the bartender.

Bregil realized he must not have made it, she hung her head. Rude or not he didn't deserve to lose his life. Bregil looked over at Faervel. With the knowledge she had now she couldn't in good conscience sneak Faervel up to a room. She didn't feel it was right to ask, it's best that she'd just make her own way.

Bregil looked at Faervel and sighed. “Sorry my friend but I think we are going to be outdoors for tonight.”
Faervel groaned in protest.

“Come on we've slept worse, besides I can make a decent shelter out of the rubble and I'll make a fire it'll be cozy,” Bregil said as she headed outside to do just that. Faervel trudged reluctantly behind her.

When she finished with her shelter her and Faervel snuggled inside by a smoldering fire, Bregil was munching on a dried apricot and Faervel was gnawing on his bone from earlier. Bregil felt a little guilty for not socializing before heading to bed, she was just exhausted. Besides they had their whole journey to talk.

Bregil hummed in contentment and laid back on Farvel's side. “See this isn't so bad, huh?”
Faervel licked her cheek and Bregil laughed as she snuggled down in her cloak and drifted to sleep.

Crimson Company

Soooooo no to the second bartender than.

Crimson Company

In their defense the bartender was made into a character in mid game so it's hard to remember that he died. There also was no notice that the NPC bartender turned into a character with a backstory. Personally I think there should be two since one of us made him kind of a dick...*cough* *cough* *looks around* I'm still voting for Ghostbustsers.

Crimson Company

He let out a muffled grunt and then looked up at Bregil smiling through the pain. “Then again, maybe not.”

Bregil chuckled, “ Yeah maybe not. Let me take a look.”
Bregil knelt down next to him and put her hands on his leg. She could feel the swelling under her finger tips. She was glad he didn't wait,it was more than just a twist. Even a small fracture left untreated could turn into something worse. Bregil heard some rustling behind her and looked to see Faervel rolling around in the snow trying to get the blood off his fur.

“Try all you want, you are still getting a bath.” She said to Faervel and then turned her attention back to the man.

“Small fracture is my guess, Don't fret I'll have you pristine in no time.” Bregil closed her eyes and concentrated on mending the bone. In a moment the bone was like it was never fractured.

“See was that so bad? You don't have to tough it out. That's the best thing about having a Restoration Mage in your company, you don't have to deal with the pain.”

Bregil smiled at him as she stood and offered a hand to help him up.

“You never told us your name.”
