D&D setting... The quests (closed for LandiKirk )

[JonathanBair]

Jonathan (Jon) Gordenson is a shy and quite man. Jon mostly makes a living off selling stuff he finds in his wonders. He is a passive soul who lives in wild lands. He grew up in a orphanage, where he got teased and ended up getting in lots of fights as a kid.

With him being 21 years old he is 6 foot tall, 200 pounds (slim but thick/solid body) with short brown hair and blue eyes. With him getting into fights he started to use brooms or mops to defend him self. When he got out on his own he got a sword and big rectangular wood/metal mix shield. With his size, he could carry a heavy load long a ways with a fast pace. He never knew why the woods/mountains called to him. If he knew his dad was a ork and his mom was a human. It would make sense why he cant stand living in a city.

Jon like to spend his days wondering the forests hunting for food while collecting things he could sell for scrap. It is getting late afternoon and Jon is setting his camp up near a river and the woods. At the base of the mountains.

Mystic Greenwater

Mystic was an odd girl with odd tawny hair with natural grassy green highlights. She stands about five six weighs a mere 130 and is very athletic.
Most people in the village she lives in, knows about her lineage. Her mother was a half elf that lived with her human father. However they both died of a poisonous gas that filtered into the city cast by a dark elf.
So the survivors took her with them and resettled in another village where she grew up and became aware of her differences

After another day of bullying Mystic packed a pouch with food and supplies to survive on her own. Perhaps find her mother's people or others like herself.

In five years Mystic found only more disappointing results. Her mother's tribe had died out from attacks by the dark elves. Finally coming to terms she had no family, clan, or tribe she begins to slide into the streetwise orphan and resort to slight of hand methods to survive in this bigger world. However one of her targets was the son of the captain of the royal guard and she was caught.

The jailer however took oiry on her and after a year in the dungeons released her with her small bag of supplies. Bread, water skin, tinderbox, roots for poultice, and a letter of release signed by the king. He also admired her spunk and included three gold pieces so she could get a weapon to protect herself in the city.

Mystic left with glee as she fingered the small pouch she gained off the jailer's nephew who was quite intrigued by her long eyelashes and soft lavender eyes. Yes the sooner she got out of town the better.

However she got sidetracked by items on display in the marketplace. Curious she browses the various tables and wagons that are crowded by people.

. easy pickins Mystic thinks as she pilpers pockets and pouches from six patrons. In her haul she took some rings and bracelets from another stand but the one that had daggers.. she paid for her choice with the three gold pieces the jailer gave her. After all a promise was meant to be kept.

Once she left the confines of the city she wandered into the woods. Ahhhhhh here she feels at home. It just so happened there was a large oak tree that grew to a great size. A perfect hiding place! This was her second home and safe haven for her growing treasure.

Mystic spent three days hallowing out a rottening spot with in the tree. This would be her treasure holder. Only a small child or skinny elf could get down into the knob where the treasure was stored. Inside the knot she gathered nesting straw. This would be her resting place inside the tree like an owl or squirrel.

One day word spread of a battle between kingdoms. Mystic couldn't join the fight with soldiers but she could reap the rewards of war by taking useful items from the dead during the night. At least that was her plan as she overheard women talking at this well that water was drawn for the laundry house.

Mystic slipped out of the city with dark clothing and headed to the east where rumors said the bodies were stacked four high to make a wall to protect the survivors.
She found it pretty easily but there were no survivors to be found just forty some bodies lieing in the valley from both sides. Mystic thanked the gods of good fortune and began to search each body for things to add to her growing treasure box.

She found rings, coins, food, wine, and other delights as she went over the four men that were dressed in golden colored armor. Then she found an odd bow. It was made of dark oak and the string shimmered in the moonlight. I wonder if it holds some majicks? Mystic thinks to herself as she looks for a quiver with arrows that matches the bow. She was disappointed not to find any and the ones she did find were broken or so deeply embedded in the dead body she couldn't get them out without breaking them.

Finally she came across some leather armor that was lightweight enough for her to wear without being encumbered. Yes today was looking better and better as she noticed the sky and decided to return to the tree and hide from the king's soldiers coming to retrieve the dead.

Mystic came to her tree and tossed the knotted rock into another hole. This was her ladder up to her safety but she didnt know her tree was near a camp of another set of eyes.

 

[JonathanBair]

Next morning after night of deep slumber

When the sun broke creeping in the sky light, Jon had started pull his long thick hunting knife. One side of the blade was a flat but extra sharp blade, that could cut cloth or skin with out moving the knife. The other side of the blade had teeth on it like a saw, that was so thick it could cut threw bone like a beaver chews on wood.

Jon also loved to eat beaver, as it was good meat with the right amount of fat. The perfect food for a long and fast day of walking. To give the perfect fuel to keep going and also the plump the body to keep a fighter or runner thin but insolated.

Jon grabbed his knife and broke a few branches near the trunk using the teeth side of the blade, first a swinging then the sawing to get threw the thick wood that would not brake. He knew he didn't need much, just enough to make a fire and warm the slight chill from the air that had a bit of a bit that was still so enjoyable. And the fire also is to cook the last of his dried beaver with some aots. Jon had been transporting a large batch of long and short arrows to sell, with some armors. From chain mail to plate and leather. Jon liked the leather, and mail mixed. He had planned so sell some of his haul and get a mix of 2 leather armors with some chain mail secured inside. To help hide the fact he was wearing armor.

He had no love for fighting, if he had to he would. He could charge and down a horse with his shield's impack. Sadly hurting the horse but often scaring off its rider. When he could, he would run. With his tall body he could use the large shield that would cover from the tops of his feet to his neck and the with covering all of his with form side to side. A normal human could use the shield as a bed. It was a deadly tool in Jons hands. Often was slung on his back, but when in danger he couldn't or shouldn't run from. It was his go to item.

Jon busied him self in the camp making it ready for the morning meal, before he was to get going. Unknowing that there was a little threat so near that would gladly take some of his arrows that he planned to sell. He had counted them for the amount to get the price to sell. So they could be resold or re-used by some army or privet owner. Jon was in bliss with his ignorance.

 

[LandiKirk]

Mystic woke to a marvelous smell of cooking meat. She wasn't sure what kind of meat it was but it did smell.heavenly and of course her empty belly let her know how annoyed it was not being allowed to have some.

"Alright I will go and see what it is." Mystic argued with the grumbling noise

Mystic took off the armor so she could be silent as she follows the delicious smell. She did if course warn her belly to remain still and not to make any noises.

It hardly took any time before she notices a campfire. This wasn't good since she didnt want to be found with her treasures and hauled back to the king's dungeons
Mystic didnt see any banners or symbols of the Royal Crest so this wasn't a member of the king's military .

Mystic came a little closer and began to see some other goodies. arrows now Mystic was filled with joy at this find. Now how to get them without getting caught or pounded by the owner.

Mystic ran back to her treasury and snagged a few gold coins. Hopefully the owner would trade with her or else she would have to steal then from the owner.

Slowly Mystic came back to the camp. When it was within eyesight she called out. "Hello Friend."
Then she slipped behind the tree to listen to the reply. Mystic hoped it was a Human voice and not an orc or goblin's that answered.

 

[JonathanBair]

Jon was all set to dish up the smoked/dried meat with some boiled oats mixed in. When a female voice called out " Hello friend." Jon grabbed his shield and sword while getting in a defensive crouch next to the fire as he called back " Come and make you self known." Jon was worried about a gang of theifs trying to rob him, so he readied in a rush for a fight.

He could always say sorry if this turned out to be a friendly person. Surely they would understand the alarm of unexpected company deep in the woods like this. Well he is a good quarter day off the main trail, so that is far from just passers by to really randomly find him.

His eyes scanned the brush line and ears listened for any sound to hint direction or party size of the unknow. The birds where keeping a semi talkative setting so Jon knew it had to be small and human or elf or dwarf. If it was orc or anything like that. The woods would of had a silence. Same with a large number of human, dwarfs or elfs. The voice didn't sound raspy so he doubted dwarf and didn't have the singing tone to it to be elf. A lone or small group of humans in this area stumped Jon...

 

[LandiKirk]

Mystic heard the reply and it sounded angry.

" Come and make you self known."

It was in the common tongue of humans so Mystic stepped out from behind the pine tree. She waved then spread her hands to show she didnt have a knife or throwing stars.

"I could smell what your cooking. I came in friendship and perhaps trade. May I come in to the fire?"

 

[JonathanBair]

Jon could see a young female, this made him want to relax. Jon got out from behind his shield and putting his sword in its sheath tho still in his hand. He calls out " If your alone come on in" He couldn't help but to wonder if she was just a kid or a short adult. Tho as she moved he could see she was no kid, but a short human. Jon smiled friendly as he turned to his side and held his hand out doing the gesture of come on in.

He tilts his head as his eyes scan up and down her body, not seeing any bags or anything to trade made him wonder. He asked in a friendly but questioning tone " What do you want to trade? I don't have much."

 

[LandiKirk]

" If your alone come on in"

Mystic began to walk closer to the campsite. Her body showed the differences of the sexes. She wore green leggings with a light brown sleeveless shift. Her hair draped her shoulders giving the illusion of a cape.

When she was within arms reach and glanced about looking for those arrows she saw earlier.

"What do you want to trade? I don't have much."

"I have coins to use as trade. I am looking for good ar... supplies but will look at your other goods." Mystic said calmly. "And maybe some of the meat you have cooked."

 

[JonathanBair]

Jon smirks and says " If you where going to say what I think you where going to say. I got both kinds that I am planning on selling. Short crossbow and long bow arrows. Tho they need some work, best to have the heads re-worked." Jon looked at her face to read it, but continued saying " I also got some leather armor to be sold that has been used, the stuff for sale is over here." Jon moves closer to a net that's hanging from two trees and says " This is my food and some supply's that is not for sale, but willing to talk about what you need and I can make more for you, but we can talk over a meal. Even if its oats mixed with some dried smoke meat." Jon pats his net bed and says " Please feel free to sit while we talk. The coins will work, and could come in handy some day." *Jon smiles as he approves of her payment offer.*

Jon did not fail to note how the small woman did have her own charm with her looks. Even tho she was only to about Jon's mid to lower ribs he presumed. Jon's lower head also started to notice her looks and was giving some feed back on what it wanted with her.... Tho he tired to act like a normal human being and not some sex staved animal. Jon tried to push the fact that its been years from the last time of sharing a bed and he was WAY past due....

Jon did really like the tight green pants on her. The shirt/cape thing didn't really go with her body, but he wasn't going to knock her on her dressing. Jon moves to the fire getting a bowl and dishing a helping up with a spoon that was sitting on a piece of a split log that was cut flatish to be used like a table. Jon turns some handing the bowl of the now fully boiled oats and the reheated meat up to the small lady.

Jon felt odd sharing his camp but he was a big and friendly guy. Tho he just didn't socialize much unless it was needed. This one on one setting was nice tho so he didn't mind.

 

[LandiKirk]

" If you where going to say what I think you where going to say. I got both kinds that I am planning on selling. Short crossbow and long bow arrows. Tho they need some work, best to have the heads re-worked."

Mystic blushed having been figured out so admitted
"I came across a short bow but have no arrows. I have heard crossbow arrows work well with a short bow."

" I also got some leather armor to be sold that has been used, the stuff for sale is over here."

Mystic follows him and looks at the for sale items. She delights with the arrows and finds the armor is a little better then what she found.

" This is my food and some supply's that is not for sale, but willing to talk about what you need and I can make more for you, but we can talk over a meal. Even if its oats mixed with some dried smoke meat."

Mystic nodded she had some things she didnt want to sell in her stash. On the positive side he was offering her meal which was better then the soldier rations she took from the corpses in the valley.

" Please feel free to sit while we talk. The coins will work, and could come in handy some day."

Mystic wasn't going to sit on the net because she was uneasy with the holes and well it would be easy to catch her up in it. At the same token he wouldn't get much since she only had nine gold coins in her left pocket.
So she sat on a piece of wood that hadn't been broken for firewood yet.

"How long have you been here? What city did you come from?" Mystic asks curiously after all it was good to know where you goods came from should you come across some of the kings soldiers.

 

[JonathanBair]

Jon found a small bowl or large cup and put his food in that. He also grabbed a spare spoon and went to lean back on the net. Semi sitting to eat but laid back to relax while eating and talking.

Jon could see her interest in the arrows and a bit of blush on her face as he talked about them. When she said she had a short bow, Jon nodded knowing the crossbow ones should fit. He could also see a spark of excitement for the armor.
Jon couldn't read her when he said he wasn't willing to sell some stuff like food, but there was something in her face he couldn't read as he said he could make more of what she wanted if needed.

Jon did wonder why she passed on sitting on his net bed, but wrote it off as not wanting to get into another persons bed. He watched her sit on some wood and she was happy so he didn't care where she sat. He was just trying to be a good host after all.

He nodded as she asked how long he was here for. Jon said " made a cold camp late yesterday, as I wanted to just sleep and had been eating the dry meat/oats on the hike. I came from the next kingdom over, heard there was a hostile landing that the weather broke up. No one was around to claim the bodies washed ashore. There was a few kings riders, but they didn't care as it wasn't there dead I messed with. *Jon says with a shrug* Not that Jon was uncaring or trying to be disrespectful, but the dead have no use for armor when it would only be lost to the sea. Jon did add in " I am going to kings market, to see a armorer at Kings Arms. They have some of the best armor makers around. Am sure they could use this for scrap to melt down like the arrow heads. The feathers also look semi good, so most of them could be re-used with a bit of work. I am hoping to trade my goods to get that mixed leather/chain set made for me."

Jon smiled and says finally " By the way, my name is Jon. Do you have a name?" He could see she knew what to ask. To not get anything to get her in trouble, and if so who to send the trouble to. Jon was happy with a smart person like that as he never got second hand unless he collected it him self.

Jon also asked " How long have you been here, are you from this area or where did you come from?"

Jon hoped if she was wanting to buy some arrows from him, she would head his advice on them needing work, and the fact he was planning to sell the stuff at a royal arms dealer. Might give her some comfort that he is not out to rob the living. Jon was also working off the idea she wanted to know more about the items then his life history, so how he got the items is all he gave her. For now unless she asks more about him personally.

 

[LandiKirk]

Mystic thanked her host for the food and listened as he tallked.

"made a cold camp late yesterday, as I wanted to just sleep and had been eating the dry meat/oats on the hike. I came from the next kingdom over, heard there was a hostile landing that the weather broke up. No one was around to claim the bodies washed ashore. There was a few kings riders, but they didn't care as it wasn't there dead I messed with.

Mystic nodded as she has done the same thing.

" I am going to kings market, to see a armorer at Kings Arms. They have some of the best armor makers around. Am sure they could use this for scrap to melt down like the arrow heads. The feathers also look semi good, so most of them could be re-used with a bit of work. I am hoping to trade my goods to get that mixed leather/chain set made for me."

Mystic took a few bites and savored the juicy taste of meat. "Kings Arms will give you a fair price. I have seen some of his work at the training battles. Perhaps he would trade with me too. I have some things I wouldn't mind parting with for decent boots."

"By the way, my name is Jon. Do you have a name?"

"I am called Miss Teek." Saying it as it sounds and not that it mattered that she couldn't read, spell, or make more then a mark for her signature.

"How long have you been here, are you from this area or where did you come from?"

Mystic frowned for a moment then sighed. "I did live in King's Market until I ran away from my second parents. I tend to float between the city and the woods. I think I am doing well on my own."

There was no conviction in her voice when she spoke. It was apparent there was a bigger story involved to her life. A girl her size didnt live in the woods unprotected or does she.. was she forced to run away to avoid something or be turned into a slave.

Mystic finished her meal then burped loudly. Instead of apologizing or looking embarrassed she laughed in delight. "Are you sure I can not buy some of this meat? It is making my belly happy to be full. "

Mystic pulled out the coins and added "I will give you four of them for the nine arrows I see. Two more for some of this good meat. The rest if you take my goods to The Armorer and get a fair price. What do you say.. can we trade?"

 

[JonathanBair]

Jon found it enjoyable to have this little woman in camp with him. She was easy to talk to. When she confirmed about going to Kings Arms will give a fair price, that made Jon feel much better. He only heard good thing about them anyways in his travels.
The comment made him look at her feet when she talked about boots. He could see they didn't really seam to fit her some how. As she said her name, he smiled and nodded friendly to her.

Jon listened and nodded as she lived in the city and her past. He could tell she was holding back, her voice about her past seamed to be more hallow as she spoke then about the other bits of conversation they had.

Jon started to chuckle when she burped and seamed to show no shame in it. This impressed him allot. As she asked about buying some of the meat. Jon rubbed his chin. He could hear the fullness and joy in her voice about saying the meat made her belly happy and full... Jon was still pondering her offer when she added in about the coins.

Jon sat rubbing his chin and hummed a bit as he pondered it.

A few seconds later Jon smiles and says " I got a better offer, how about as we are going to the same place anyways. We just travel together, and you can save your coins. For the arrows, I don't know how good they are in the state they are, so sadly I don't feel right selling them. How dose that offer sound?"

Everything is true. He is no archer.. He didn't know if they would fly right or not and didn't want her coins for something that may be bad. He thinks if she don't slow him down to much he should have the food for both of them on the trip. Then again he could try and carry her on his back too or something if they need to cover ground fast.

Jon looks intently to see how she would react to what he said. She seamed like the kind of person who would get why he isn't selling them and offer her a better deal for free. The only deal was she would have to travel with this giant of a man she don't know. Would she take to sharing his camp with him.

 

[LandiKirk]

The boots were too big and wearing thin in places which was one reason she needed new boots. The second was so she didn't lose them when she climbs into trees for safety.

Mystic watched him rub his face. She knew that look he was thinking how it benefits him that or how to sweeten the deal.

" I got a better offer, how about as we are going to the same place anyways. We just travel together, and you can save your coins. For the arrows, I don't know how good they are in the state they are, so sadly I don't feel right selling them. How dose that offer sound?"

Mystic grinned. His idea of traveling together was far better then her going alone. The fact he mentioned his concern over the balance of the arrows gave her a better feeling about staying in his company. Which he suggested thus adding to her remaining safe.

Mystic stood up and came over to Don extending her hand. "Deal."

Content on the handshake Mystic says. "I'll meet you here at sun rise tomorrow with my pack. Goodnight Don."

She turned away and headed into the darkening woods. In a short time she found her tree and climbed back into the knoll and drifted to sleep.

 

[JonathanBair]

Jon had smiled as he shook her hand. As she turned to scamper out of the camp. Jon couldn't help but to chuckle. A little one like that and a guy his size, should make for a interesting pair. Jon laid down and relax on his net. As he lay there he tried to put a mental picture in his head of them traveling together. If she got to be to slow, what it might look like.

Jon didn't know why, maybe it was the vibrant energy she gave off but he is looking foreword to traveling with someone. Normally he likes to be alone. He also replayed and she passed on sitting on his net bed for the log. Just another little quark about her that amused him.

 

[LandiKirk]

At the crack of dawn Mystic moved down the tunnel to her stash and packed what would be necessary for trading and to use on the journey. She pulled out the goat pelt and wrapped things in it tightly with small pieces of rope.

It took a bit but she managed to make herself a makeshift backpack. Now she headed back to Jon's camp after a stop at one of the streams that passes thru the woods. With a full water skin hanging off the pack she was ready.

A few feet away from camp she calls out. "Hello Jon"

Mystic waits for a reply then walks into the center of camp ready to help break down anything before the half days walk to Kings Market

 

[JonathanBair]

Jon had broke down the camp, only thing left of it was his rope bed he was laying in. Jon heard her call his name and Jon sat up saying " Come on in" Jon suddenly felt giddy, like bunch of little energy balls was popping in him. He never felt this about any one. This made Jon more eager to have her as company.

Jon had a big long leather pack. Some had folded down and around where the arrows could be seen. With other lumps above them that looked like shoulder. That's clearly the armor all packed up too.

Jon is sitting with his legs streched out before him but his back up right. As he looks around in the area roughly his companions voice came from. Jon is still very relaxed and this meeting is clearly a different one then last. With no alarm only pure friendly energy here.

 

[LandiKirk]

Mystic was glad that Jon was practically ready to go.

"Kings Market is half a days journey. Its best to take the west gate where the merchants enter the inner yard. It also has fewer soldiers attending it.. some of them can make it difficult to enter.the Market. Kings Arms is at the end of the road on the left next to the battle training grounds." Mystic told him

 

[JonathanBair]

As she talked about it being a half day journey. Jon put his hand to the chin clearly thinking as he listened to her talking. Jon nodded his dead a bit in agreement but kept his hand on his chin....

Jon knew he could make it in half that time, He played with the idea of giving her a lift. He looked at her and sized her up, thinking if she wrapped her arms and legs around him, she should feel about the same as a heavy pack fully loaded.

He didn't say anything as he got up and went to a near by tree, pushing on a rope so the hook slipped off the rope that was wrapped around a tree branch then the tree trunk, to another loop around a second branch and the second hook holding tight on the rope... Jon then started to ball his net bed up and did the same with the ropes at the foot of the bed. Jon packed the last of his camp into the bag.

Jon finally says "I will have to slow down lots for you to keep up with me, but I want to offer something that is rather up front. How would you feel if I carry you? We could get there in half the time, but it would be very personal."

Jon looked at her. After mentioning carrying her. A bit of fear was clearly on his face. He hoped she would not get mad at his idea. After all he was taller then her by good 4 heads or so, and his legs/arms where much longer too.

Jon stands with wonder as he waits to see how she will react.

 

[LandiKirk]

"I will have to slow down lots for you to keep up with me, but I want to offer something that is rather up front.

Mystic looked at him puzzled up front?

How would you feel if I carry you? We could get there in half the time, but it would be very personal."

Mystic wasn't too sure that would be a wise choice if they came across something unfriendly. Yet his stride was longer then hers and as Jon said it would cut travel time in half.

After a few moments Mystic nodded. "But if we meet unfriendlies or within sight of the gate. You promise to put me down , fair enough."

When he agreed she shifted her backpack and prepared herself to be swept off the ground.

 

[JonathanBair]

Jon nodded then went to get his big shield and slung it on his back and pulled his pack on his back. Jon turned to face Mystic and feel to his knees. His arms wide as he looked at her in her eyes with a warm and friendly smile. From the outside of the camp, it looked like he was about to give her a hug when really he was about to carry her chest to chest.

Jon looked amused at her and in a friendly tone only said " Well" clearly waiting for her to come to him, if she would be willing to be carried in such a personal way. Jon's eyes looked up and down at her body carefully for any hint on what was on her mind. He was also taking in her looks too.

 

[LandiKirk]

"Well"

Mystic walked into his arms and then squealed as he lifted her so delicately. She was not expecting this but found true to his word it was a quicker travel.

It was being in his grasp that her perky breasts rubbed against his chest and made her shift contour to her body's feminine shape. His warmth of skin made her relax and before they left the woods Mystic drifted to sleep as his heartbeat played innher ear like a lullaby.

 

[JonathanBair]

As Jon walked, his one hand slowly sank from her back and soon he found it cupping her ass. The other lightly but firmly holder her back. When Jon cleared the woods and knew it was open land from there to the city. He got to look down at the little woman he is carrying. He could see she was sleeping. Her face so incent and pure.

 

[JonathanBair]

As Jon walked, he realized he enjoyed having her close. Her body felt soothing and comforting to his. He shifted her a bit so as he walked. His left leg pushed in the middle of her legs, allowing him to move faster and more freer. This shift also ment his cock was trapped along her tight and his. Each step he taken rubbed it making him a get a bit harder. He didn't mean to have that happen and nothing he could do about it other then hurry up and get to the city.

Jon did lift her a bit more so her head was more resting on his shoulder. Now when he looked at her. His lips where lightly touching her forehead and his nose is in her hair.

 

[LandiKirk]

Mystic' s forehead was warm and her hair smelled like the pine trees in the forest. Yet her skin had the faint aroma of honey and lavender.

Coming out of the woods allowed the breeze to swirl around them. Mystic shivered slightly from the breeze and then snuggled into Jon's chest.

In twenty minutes the turrets came into sight as the dark green banners flapped in the wind. Within minutes they would be at the gates.
