As Seth and Vildayvin head their respective ways the mysterious jagger known as Sebastian leaves the back room he signals to Rusty for a room key as he heads to pick up his beaker. He retrieves the container, reinstalling the lid and placing it back into his bag as a set of keys come sliding down the counter. He grasps the keys and heads upstairs to the room matching the number hanging from the keyring he received. Shortly afterwards his light goes out as well. After a few hours or so Seth returns to the tavern, gets a set of keys from Rusty and heads to bed as well. After around 7-8 hours, just as daylight is breaking, Vildayvin steps out of his room, fastening his holsters up and glancing down into the nearly empty main area of the tavern. He walks to Seth's and Sebastians rooms and knocks on the doors.
"Its time gentlemen, we have much ground to cover."
He walks downstairs and heads outside, sitting down in a chair near the door and lighting a cigarette as he waits for the two men to wake up and get ready.
==================================================================
As the two men exit the tavern Vildayvin stands up and tosses the butt of the cigarette down into the dirt alleyway in front of the tavern. He begins to walk towards two horses, a midnight black one and a brown one, tethered near Seth's bike.
"Good morning, we will head to the tram station from here, load up our mounts and ride down to Yewanrey. The tram we are taking will be going non-stop through Chakoda so I hope you werent intending on making any stops there. (He mounts the midnight black horse) We will then find my friend, get any other information he may be able to provide...and work to secure his package for him.
He pats the horses neck and takes off at a steady pace towards the tram station
======================================================================
As the trio arrives at the station it is pretty quiet due to the early time they arrived at. A tram shuttle sits at the station, a few people getting on and off, a rear storage car sitting open with a ramp giving access for the horses and bike. After securing their mounts the three head onto one of the passanger cars. It would appear one of the other cars is being used for troop travel at the moment as two squads of Conscript troops march into it. The tram departs the station soon after, whizzing along the rails towards Chakoda. The scenery outside the window shows off the more temperate environment of the area closest to Chrysalis Lake, with grass and a treeline is visible, a herd of shieldhorses even make an appearance at one point but then moves back into the cover of the trees. Soon enough the tram nears the city of Chakoda, the farming "capital" of Westward. As the tram passes through the city, one can see that the usually strong presence of Capital City Guards is ever-present. Soon enough though the tram reaches the end of the city and is zipping down towards Yewanrey. Eventually the tram nears the end of the line as the defensive wall of the city comes into view. The tram slows as it reaches the station, just a short distance from Yewanrey's walls. The doors open up and people step out and (after giving the squads of Conscripts a wide berth) head into Yewanrey. Vildayvin steps out and heads to the rear cargo cart and guides the horses onto the station platform, leaving the bike for Seth to move (for obvious reasons). Once all 3 are mounted up Vildayvin leads the group into Yewhanrey and to the door of a shop with a sign over it simply labeled "Doctor". He dismounts his horse and tethers it up and motions for the two to follow him inside.
"Doc! Where are ya? Show your face ya crotchety old bastard!"
A beer bottle comes whizzing out of a side room, causing Vildayvin to duck right before the bottle would have hit him.
"Stop yer hollering ya damn loudmouth! Can't anyone get any sleep anymore?!?"
An old man, looking to be about in his 70's with wild white hair and a white beard comes out of the same room the bottle came from, wearing a pair of white longjohns and an old faded robe. He stops in front of Vildayvin and glares at him for a few seconds then the two embrace each other.
"How ya doin ya smartass young pup? Glad to see you got my message!"
"Damn right I got your message, got some extra muscle to make sure we get that package back for ya Gramps."
The two seperate and Vildayvin motions towards Seth and Sebastian.
"This is the extra muscle I was talking about, Gramps meet Seth and Sebastian...gentlemen meet Doc Grawler or as I call him "Gramps". He's an old family friend.
"Pleasure to meet ya two...the fact that ol' Vil here hasnt plugged ya full of holes must mean you aint a scav or a feral so yer friends in my book. Please sit down"
He gestures to a table as he walks off, coming back with a pitcher of water and some glasses and sets a glass in front of everyone, filling each with water and then sits down. Vildayvin then looks at Gramps.
"Ok Gramps, what do you got for us? What were you trying to get from Southridge? The veritable end of civilization on Westward!"
At this Gramps looks around a little nervously and leans in.
"Well....it was...Lasher venom."
