Mobis

No one spoke for a while, just rode in silence, then there was a loud cry. "Help somebody help me". "It's coming from over there" said Pyre. "Let's check it out". said Grim. They rode down a sloppy hill to where the screams were coming from. It was a boy being attacked by a beast. "Hold up, Hold up" said El, that's a Schith. "A what?" echoed the rest of them. "A Schith, it feeds on little kids, he likes the taste of them better". "Well no breakfast for this one",said Max as he charged right in to help the boy ". The Schith easily swung him away. "Max c'mon, together, he can't take us out all at once " yelled Grim. Distracted by Max, Bridal grabbed the boy and took him away from the scene, then went back to join the fight. They all surrounded the Schidth, attacking it from all sides. It got El and was about chopping her head off when Brida drove a spear through his isdes and Pyre delivered the final blow, chopping it's head off, spilling blood everywhere. "Thanks"said El as Pyre helped her onto her feet.

"What's your name?, What're you doing out here in the woods?"asked Grim. "I'm not a kid you know" said the boy. "Then you should know better than lurking out here all alone". "Thanks for the advice, Dad" said the boy. "Hey, shut the fuck up. We just save your life"said Ethan. "The name's Mobis, my village is down the road". "Well Mobis, you best be on your way home then". "Where you guys headed?". "None of your business"said Grim. "C'mon I can help". "Yh right. You couldn't even help yourself". "I had it under control. I was trying to reach for my sword". "Well you didn't" said Grim. Mobis swiped Grim's map from his pocket. "You're going to Ironsbane?, you're headed the wrong way". "And how would you know that?"asked Pyre. "My Dad worked there once, while he was alive. This leads to Illensbane not Ironsbane, Ironsbane is further west from it"."Are you sure about this? 'cos if you're lying...." said Grim. "I'm not" " Well I guess we have some use for you after all". said Grim.

El-pundero, like the merchant said was a mysterious man, he owned the most popular bar in Ironsbane. That means he was famous, respected. It also means they didn't have much trouble finding him. "Are you El-pundero?" asked Grim. "Who's asking?" said Pundero. "I'm Grim, a lad from Volstock. May we speak in private?" Pundero gave a stern look and leaned back to rest his arms on his couch. "Anything you wanna say to me, you say it here in the open". Grim returned his look with a stern one of his, like daggerss piercing through his eyes. "Fine". Grim said. "We're looking for the lost gem, the one your King gave to his daughter on her 18th birthday". "Mando was no king of mine, he was a coward. If you're taking about Kernobyl, that information is classified. It's gonna cost you". Pundero said, smirking."What cost?" asked Grim. Pundero turned his head towards Ellana. "Your companion here is very pretty. I wonder what she'd look like under those clothes". "No!" yelled Pyre. "No?" asked Pundero.

"Grim this is ridiculous you can't accept this" Pyre said angrily. "I'm not a whore, Grim. Y'all act like I have no say in this." said Ellana. " We have no choice. We need that information ". said Grim. "Deal. Tell us where the gem is and you can have the girl". "You're the smart one, aren't ya?good. To get to the gem you'll need to pass through Lannisport. It's a straight path to the city from there. The city is in ruins but the gems temple still stands and still guarded by those beasts. To open the gate, you need to solve a riddle and then bingo!" said Pundero. "Now while you all will be going to get your price, it's time for me to have mine. Sieze the girl!!". "Hey!Hey!!Hey!!No!! El!!!" yelled the others. "Nice doing business with ya. You're welcome to stay in Ironsbane for as long as you like"said Pundero.

"WTF is wrong with you, Grim? When'd you get so cold?" yelled Pyre. The others were trying to calm him down but he wouldn't , Grim just stood there , staring at him. "You're willing to sacrifice anyone for your own selfish need, huh?". "Okay first of all, that is not true, I'm not willing to sacrifice anyone"said Grim."And second, there was no other choice, Okay? We're going to get her back. You really thought I'd let them rape El?" said Grim. Pyre said nothing, just stared at him. "How're you gonna get her out?" asked Brida. "Simple" said Grim. "While we were being brought here, I saw the other me dragging her into a hut. That must be Pundero's hut. Which means we have to act fast. Do any of you guys know how to shoot an arrow?". asked Grim. "I won first place in our village's Archery Competition when I was 16" said Mobis. ". "Good, use my bow and arrow, climb up to the roof and follow us you'll be our eyes in the sky. Ethan and Max you'll attack the guards guarding the hut but first you'll draw them away from there. I'll go into the hut first and face Pundero, distracting him. Then Pyre you'll come in and rescue your girl. Brida you'll ready the horses . On my signal everyone rounds back and we make for the getaway"said Grim. "Alright then" said Max. "This plan better work", said Pyre. "It will. We move in thirty minutes".

Mobis was on the roof with a clear view of the whole scene. The guards could never spot him so high up in the dead of the night. Max and Ethan distracted the guards facing them off away from the hut. Mobis supported them from above. Guards couldn't pick out where he was shooting from so they were basically ambushed. It was Grim's cue. Pundero was already about to make his move on El when Grim made an entrance with a punch to his face toppling him sideways."What are you doing here? This isn't part of the deal", said El-pundero. "Deal's off" said Grim. He drew his sword and charged at Pundero who reached for his battle axe near his bed and blocked his attack. They both faced each other, Grim leading the fight away from El. Then Pyre came in. "Pyre, oh thank God. Get me out of this thing". "One second" said Pyre. He cut the rope loose and they both escaped. "Grim, let's go!" yelled Pyre. Pundero knocked Grim down and was about to kill him till Pyre drew a dagger and pierced his leg, giving Grim time to escape. Once outside, Brida came with the horses following her. They all hopped on and escaped. Everyone made it out in one piece except Max, who suffered a deep cut to his leg.
