Slowly scooching out of the back of the caravan, Silica slowly staggers as she stands, feeling nauseous. "P-please never do that again... ugh." She slowly felt like the world was spinning and she could feel her stomach spin in pain. Falling back she landed on her butt but that didn't help neither since she was trying to keep herself from vomiting on the ground. The Old man was trying to ease the horses as the other caravan party, were slowly scavenging any fallen debris that fell off the caravan during the chase.

With a weak landing Eldrid sets down and Paulus quickly hops off and grabs one of the rations he set aside and sets it in front of Eldrid who quickly gobbles it up "Its ok go rest up" he says patting its head "You worked hard so you've earned it" before Eldrid takes off again with slightly renewed vigor. taking a look around at the clearing there isn't much he can still see the mountains way off in the distance that looked like they hadn't gotten any closer even after this journey. Walking around he asks if people are okay, if everyone is accounted for, and lends a hand straightening things out. Until he walks over and sees Silica sitting on the ground unsteadily. Quickly he runs over and offers her a hand up and a shoulder to lean on "Good job back there" he says with a smile "Sure saved me"

Feeling unstable, she kept herself from thinking of anything that would trigger her uneasiness. Slowly hearing footsteps she was helped by Paulus as she slowly stood on her two feet. "Thanks, but next time. I'm walking.." She looked around to see everyone alright, the old man came over to give his thanks and gratitude and asked one of his helpers to grab a peppermint candy from the rations. A few minutes later, Silica didn't know candy was part of this game but having peppermint around gave ease to her nauseous feeling. Feeling a bit better she gave the tap on Paulus to let her stand on her own two feet.

"Ha if you think thats bad try flying" He says with a grin "I tell you i love that wyvern but he gets bad ideas about as often as i do" As she eats the candy he backs off giving her the chance to stand and get her bearings. "Well good news is were through and in the clear. No more caravan rides to worry about. Now we just need to hunt the bareback mutts if im correct. after that this should feel like nothing and we need to travel on foot anyways Eldrid needs a chance to to relax and recharge he was pretty busy today." Ill have to level him up at the next trainer that should help how long he can stay active Paulus thought to himself

The old man overheard the young man's voice and walked over slowly. "Ah your the young man that wanted to know about your wyvern I hope you didn't forget that it was me who faced you in the sky." as he took out a small bell he ringed it a few times. His dragon like friend came hovering on the ground as it stood near the man. Silica slowly started to feel better, and began to stretch a few times before feeling a gust of wind from above and saw the dragon like creature standing by the old man. Wait... that's the guy Paulus was training with?!

"Ah but of course how could i forget that fight. It was a battle of truly epic proportions." He says with a grin and shaking the old mans hand. "I didn't realize you were also on this caravan. Traveling merchant now i'm guessing?" The old man nods and says "Yeah after I left the army I didnt have a home or family to return to so i started traveling and just never felt like stopping" As the dragon lands Paulus realizes with a closer look just how much larger and and battleworn the mans dragon is. Atleast another foot taller and 4 feet longer than Eldrid his dragon is covered with scars and signs of battle. "Well its been a while since we stepped in the ring though. Thanks to both of you for your help protecting the caravan. I shudder to think what those bandits would have done had they gotten free rein to attack as they pleased." The man takes a bow towards both Paulus and Silica "It was our pleasure to do what we can" Paulus says "By the way if you've been traveling for a while do you know anything about Bareback Mutts? We were actually on our way to get rid of some and collect their hides"

The old man scratches his chin. "But of course, The Bareback Mutt's are mostly the weakest creatures you'll find around the whole region. The only thing you have to worry about is when they are in packs, they have an activated buff that only works if their is a pack which increases their Damage by 5% and their speed by 10%" Silica was jotting down what little she could write while listening to the old veteran speak of his experience. Place the note back into her bag, she started to adjust herself. "So, do you have the location where we can find these bareback mutts?" The old man sent a location guide on their map's. "Follow this direction, and you will see a meadow. From there you will see their home. But be careful as weak as they are, they are stronger in a pack."

"Ok many thanks" and with a look at Silica he says "I wonder if i keep them busy as a distraction i imagine you would be able to pick off a few or would you rather go for stealth and together pick off one at a time? Even the weakest gathering up might overwhelm us if they get enough together." Opening his map he starts to look around "Also fortunately looks like it isnt too much far. If we hurry i think we can make it by midday on foot" with a swipe he closes his map and pulls out his bag before rummaging around in it and checking his supplies calling out to the old man who returned to his goods "hey sorry to bother you again but id like to make 2 more purchases. 3 sets of regular rations and if there is a meat that might serve the purpose something suitable as bareback mutt bait" as he pulls out his quickly lightening coin purse to pay the old man digs into his supplies

Silica agreed with Paulus, and began to look over her items as well. Swiping here and there, she saw a bit of shortage on a few things. Her equipment though, showed a bit of durability breakage. Looking around, one of the caravan passengers noticed a few things while watching Silica from afar, jumping off the wagon he walked over to her and tapped her shoulder. "Eh lad, you seem to be in a pinch, your equipment is about to break if you go into another fight, Here while you got the chance I'll repair your equipment for free, thanking for protecting us while fighting off those wee bandits." Silica was surprised and happily gave the man her equipment to repair for the time being.

As the old man digs through his crates "Here you go" tossing 3 rations at Paulus "and lets see i might have something that could serve the job" opening a sack from another box he pulls out a salted meat wrapped in burlap and tied shut with twine "This should do they tend to prefer fresh meat but thats never stopped them from going for easy food. Its a bit more but i think i can cut you a deal for your hard work" "Thanks" Paulus says as he passes the old man a nice chunk of his remaining funds "By the way can I ask your name? If i get the chance if we cross paths again i wouldn't mind learning more. Maybe even a rematch" With a chuckle "Well we'll see when that happens but the name is Markus its a pleasure" he says as they shake hands

Waiting as her equipment was being repaired, she started to purchase a few items from the potion seller. "I would like the best of the best potions you got." the potion seller observed the woman before him. "Alright, that will be this much." the number was 0g. "Wait, your giving me these potions for free?" the man chuckled. "Yes, you earned them. Not many get my potions, some from the front line get none due to their heroics and stories, to get my potions you need to show it in battle. And from what I saw, you earned them. Also take this its a revival ring, it can be used on anyone even his dragon. It only has 3 charges and it takes 2 days to recharge it. It's a thank you gift." Silica expressed her feelings and accepted the gift from the potion seller. "Thank you, I'll use it responsibly." the old man chuckled. "I know you will, oh and from the looks of it your equipment has been repaired." Silica walked over to the blacksmith. "Thank you." the man chuckled. "No problem lass, its all in goods name to do something great for a hero like you." a hero? "Again thank you." Swiping over the equipment she equipped them into their designated slots. "You ready Paulus?"

Packing the rations and bait away he calls back "Yep you know it" with a wave to Markus the former captain he slings the bag over his shoulder "I figure by the time we get there Eldrid should be much better rested and ready for another round hopefully we can avoid trouble till then" With a quick check of the map one last time he starts to trek to the northeast in the direction of the meadow

"Likewise," activating her soul sword, she used her senses to track any creature movements. "So from the looks of it, there's nothing in the red at the moment. So were safe until then." reequipping her sword on her side, she started to move onward behind Paulus. Waving back to the traveling caravan, looking at her contacts, she received the potion master and the Blacksmith's name. "So, from the looks of it were on a good way to becoming great players. Not many get contacts from a potion master and a black smith. Their very rare to get." as she slowly closed the screen.

With a chuckle "Indeed those are good contacts but more so i was glad to met that old man. If we already have some good contacts like that just imagine when we hit the higher levels" Checking his sword and shield perhaps i should have gotten theses repaired while i had the chance as their just above half durability oh well "So i got some bait as well depending on how exactly you want to do this" he says as he scans the path ahead

"The bait seems like the best plan so far, but the way were gonna have to get them away from each other, we gotta do a run and hit maneuver, most of the times. Once they eat the meat, we will have to pick them off one by one, because what intel I received from the Blacksmith, that once they get a scent on you, your more likely gonna have to fight them or find a way out of their line of scent. And from what I'm thinking is either fight them or return back to the safe zone to heal. But thankful to the Potion master I got this revival ring, so we should be alright fighting as long as we pick them off one by one." as she started to equip the ring, she noticed that the ring began to show 3 charges just as the man said.
