"... hm, aint that something?" Nicus looked up at Jameson who nodded sagely at Dermud's shared bit of info.

"So a group of adventurers is heading straight into a mass of goblins because the army's too busy fighting a war. Sounds like a lark, let's go say hello!"

"Very well," Dermud said with an agreeing shrug as he led the way onto the street.

Readjusting his cloak, he turned toward the approaching group and waved.

"Welcome, goblin hunters," he called out in a lighter tone.

Behind Dermud, Nicus just waved. "Hi."

Jameson greeted the oncoming cart too. "Wark."

Dani looked up from the tome as the strangers greeted them. "Ah," she waved. "Hello." She wondered what a viera, a moogle, and a chocobo were doing in an abandoned town, but figured that it wasn't her job to ask.

"That's a good idea...Also we should search for anyone that decided to not leave the city, maybe we can learn more about that..."

"Good idea, Kai-upo!" Kupek manipulated his controls, and the mekka sidled off the cart, gently pushing past Faris and Lufia. As the armor plopped onto the ground, a cloaked Viera, a moogle, and a chocobo approached them.

"Welcome, goblin hunters,"

"Hi."

"Wark."


"Greetings, kupo!" the mekka waved back, Kupek's voice echoing from within. "It's nice to see another Mog out and about like me." He stepped up to the small group. "You folks must be from this town, huh? Are you ok? Do you need any help, kupo?"

Dermud shook his head.

"Afraid not," he said, "I only stopped here to rest."

The Viera then extended a hand.

"Derry. Monster Hunter from group 6."

The Viera eyed the armored woman as she handed the whetstone off and the bunny woman quickly turned her head away in a huff. She glared off into the distance and only lightly paid attention to her fellow companions conversations. Her ears twitched ever so lightly as Sendis mentioned the town they were nearing and Faris glanced about the group's surrounding to locate it.

She was mildly surprised at how close they already were, but merely blamed it on her lack of attention. She shifted herself as Kupek moved his mekka off the cart and eyed the new comers as they approached them.

"Welcome, goblin hunters,"

"Hi."

"Wark."


The silver haired woman made a slight face as Dani greeted them in return and groan quietly to herself as Kupek started babbling. "With the way he acts, it's so obvious he's a whelp..." Faris said softly and hopped off the back of the wagon. She moved to the armored moogle's side and nodded her head as Derry answered Kupek. "Hello Derry." and nodded her head at him. "You're also from the hunting parties?" her visible eye spotted the chair that was thrown from the bar earlier, before glancing up back towards the Viera. "Having problems?"

"Hello Derry."

He should've noticed the Viera in the group. There was no need for alarm, however. The hunt wouldn't last much longer.

"You're also from the hunting parties?"

"Yes," Derry said with a not, "But my group..."

How to put it.

"Wasn't cut out for the job."

"Having problems?"

Derry saw what she was looking at and chuckled slightly.

"When I got here, the moogle had been helping himself to the bar's stock."

"When I got here, the moogle had been helping himself to the bar's stock."

"Helping himself, kupo?" Stealing? The mekka grabbed onto Dermud's hand and gave it a vigorous shake.

"Well, it's nice to meet you, miss Derry! The name's Kupek Moguru. I'm a chemist- and moogle, if you couldn't already tell," Kupek laughed lightly.

"The pleasure is mine," Derry said with nervous chuckle, caught off-guard by the mekka's vigorous shake.

"Those moogles. Always building such strange things."

It certainly looked helpful at least.

"Pleasure Mac," Sendis said as she looked at Faris. Something was wrong...well she'd have to ask later. The woman fell silent for the time being as the group made their way into the town

"Welcome, goblin hunters,"

"Hi."

"Wark."


Sendis got off the wagon and nodded to the two non-humans. "A pleasure to meet you all."

"When I got here, the moogle had been helping himself to the bar's stock."

She raised her eyebrow slightly and glanced towards the moogle and chocobo. "Ah... So he's one of those types then?" the Viera murmured. It hadn't been that long since she had come into contact with those rogue types of men. The silver haired woman's ear twitched and she glanced back towards Mac and Zereal. 'Not long at all, but this would be the first moogle in a while at least...' she thought, small smirk filtering across her face.

Crossing her arms, Faris began moving closer to the bar doors, stopping short. She looked into the bar before she looked back at Derry. "I've got to ask- Were you also 'helping' yourself to the stock?" That man was keeping secrets, Faris could already tell by the way he dressed. 'If he'll join us, better to find out as much as possible before moving into battle.' she thought sourly and turned to face the other Viera.

Tip suddenly springs out from the wagon's side, one arm grasping something inside for support as he leans into view of the newcomers. A delighted grin spreads across his face as he catches sight of the other moogle and his avian companion. "Surprise surprise! Kupek, I am pleased to announce that you are not in fact a mascot! But perhaps, through the bonds of racial friendship, you shall preserver past your immature hunger for glory and rise to a level that rivals even the greatest lords of the land, your Moogle in arms by your side. Oh, such a beautiful tale... all supported on the adorable feathers of one lovable bird, our true, beloved mascot~"

Sendis shot Faris a look, "Do you want to talk later?" She asked quietly.

Derry nodded back to the others before returning his gaze to Faris. Having inevitably encountered other Viera on his travels, he could tell she was suspicious of him. However, there wasn't much he could do when he was under contract to fight a horde of Goblins and completely lacking a group.

"Enough to get me back to town after the mission," he replied fairly honestly, the most indulgence he'd taken was a bottle of wine for celebration, "Expending energy on hunting with such a severe battle on the horizon while lacking a group of my own didn't seem like the more attractive option for survivability."

Nicus remained mostly silent for the introductions, though his eyes had been carefully scanning the visible weapons and armor of the party, and he couldn't help but let his eyes linger over the Mekka the one Moogle wore.

"Interesting," He thought. "Clearly a clever mechanically minded Moogle... but he seems so young..."

After examining the party's weapons and armor (a mixed bag to be sure, he could already feel an itch in his fingers at the sight of the one man's poorly maintained bayonet) he nodded his head.

"I figured that if the people had really wanted their food and drink they ought have taken it with them. Better I eat it before it spoils than it go to waste... or go to the Goblins, for that matter."

"Wark." Jameson nodded sagely and added her voice in agreement.

"Anyways, names Kupornicus Mogfried, of Silmaria. Blacksmith is my trade, I specialize in weapons and armor, repairs and crafting. My companion is Jameson, a Chocobo who hails from the frigid forest of Mordavia. Say hello Jameson."

"Wark!" Jameson bobbed her head.

"So..." Nicus said at last. "I don't suppose your party could use a blacksmith and another sword, eh?"

"Enough to get me back to town after the mission, Expending energy on hunting with such a severe battle on the horizon while lacking a group of my own didn't seem like the more attractive option for survivability."

Faris watched him for a few more moments, before turning her face away. "I can understand the need for doing such things." she looked back in the bar and shook her head slightly. "And it's not like the people of this town will be back anytime soon." The silver haired woman turned and walked back over to Kupek, standing beside the armored moogle. "Plus, it's for the good of the mission as well, so..." she watched him, and a small smile spread over her features. "Anyway, I suppose you've already checked the rest of the town to make sure nobody is hurt here or anything?"

The Viera looked surprised when she heard Sendis start speaking and looked over to the other woman, her visible eye blinking quickly at her.

"Do you want to talk later?"

She stared at the woman for a few seconds more before looking off. "Sure, I wouldn't mind." her eyes darted towards Mac, then lightly thinned. "...I'm not mad."

Faris looked over as Nicus spoke and smiled softly at the older moogle. "Doesn't exactly mean you could steal things... But it's a pleasure to meet you anyway. I'm Faris." and nodded her head at him.

"So... I don't suppose your party could use a blacksmith and another sword, eh?"

"I don't think it would be a problem, the more help the better, but you should ask our captains." and the Viera jerked her head towards Xin and Laon.

"I don't suppose your party could use a blacksmith and another sword, eh?"

"I think any help is good," Sendis said. "I'll admit that I'm concerned about the upcoming battle with the Goblins." She nodded to Faris then, "Very well. I'm glad to know it."

"Oh! I suppose that I should introduce myself. Sendis Lancaster."

"I could neither hear nor feel anything when I got here," Derry replied, "Well, except him."

He indicated the moogle and then more introductions came.

"Good to meet you all," he smiled behind his cloak, "Lacking a group, I'd also like to offer my services. We have the same mission anyway."

"I don't have any problems with that proposition," Sendis said. "And it'd be nice to have another woman in the group as well."

Nicus shrugged, "Didn't hear nothin or smell nothing, and Jameson didn't either so we never conducted much of a search. And I figure that if someone doesn't want you to take something, they ought not leave unlocked up and unguarded. Besides, I've lived on the road long enough to know not to take for granted chances to eat well. Jameson and I can tell stories about that."

"Wark." The Chocobo voiced its agreement to that statement as well, while looking at a Chocobo hitched to the cart with a bit of interest.

"And another thing," Nicus seemed to remember. "Call me Nicus. It's easier to shout when things get bad."

"Building up quite a group here," Xin commented to her brother.

For his part, Laon rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Big groups are harder to manage, but at the same time we're gonna be encountering a LOT of Goblins." He sighed. "Alright, you can join. But I think for now we've got enough people, so let's cross our fingers and hope we don't run into anymore stragglers."

"Pleasure Mac,"

"The pleasure is all mine, Miss Sendis," Mac grinned slightly as he ran his thumb across the side of the blade once more. Nodding at the relative smoothness of the blade in comparison to what it was before, Mac tossed up the whetstone in the air slightly, catching it before handing it back to Sendis, "I am in your debt for letting me borrow that. If you need a favor, just ask."

"Welcome, goblin hunters,"
"Hi."
"Wark."


"Good to see some people can keep high spirits in a place like this," Micerhin nodded to the newcomers, looking the Moogle and Viera over with a touch of suspicion. After all, it wasn't like people regularly hung out in places like this.
Well, the more reputable people of the world, anyhow.

"Anyways, names Kupornicus Mogfried, of Silmaria. Blacksmith is my trade, I specialize in weapons and armor, repairs and crafting. My companion is Jameson, a Chocobo who hails from the frigid forest of Mordavia. Say hello Jameson."
"Wark!"


"Always good to meet another on the trails of life," Mac nodded his head at Nicus, grinning, "Name's Micerhin Aldc-" Micerhin paused, his tongue nearly threatening mutiny at having to say his name again. Sighing softly, Mac shook his head, "Let's just make things easier on our tongues and ears. Call me Mac."

Out of the corner of his eye, Mac caught the ever-so-slight slimming of Faris' eye. Or what at least looked like a slimming of her eye - it might have been the sun.
Or dust.
Or she had allergies to something.
...or Micerhin was just somewhat clueless in that respect. It was probably one of those.

"Call me Nicus. It's easier to shout when things get bad."

Nodding his head, Micerhin slid his rifle back onto his shoulder and took the opportunity to look at the town... or what remained of it. Sure, it hadn't seemed that bad when he was busy with the whetstone, but the town felt somehow as if empty didn't begin to describe what was lacking.
Huh... he thought to himself, a chill sliding up his spine as a few tales of the sea drifted to his mind.

Kai let the others to do the greetings ant take care of the accomodation stuff, then he gave a polite bow of his head to the newcomers to greet them... "Kailan of the House Stroll... Knight of Abuge, pleased to meet..."
