Standing on the edge of my big ass crater I look around for Renise and see a vague outline of someone moving on the other side of the crater. (That must be Renise, let's see what loot she has gathered so far.)
{But we are all the way over here how do you plan to get over there quickly?}
I jog about twenty meters back, stop, and turn to face the crater. (Watch this.) I clench my teeth and get into a sprinting position. {Jon stop, you’ll never make it!!} (Sorry but I need a better idea of my natural abilities if I’m going to survive in this world...3) {Jon, please} (2) {Would you at least use magical reinforcement} (1) {Jon, seriously, I’m not sure I can cushion your fall well enough to keep you perfectly safe} (BLAST OFF!!)
I launch myself forward and sprint toward the ledge. As I approach the ledge I lower my body into a crouch AAAND LEAP!! (WOOO!) “WOOO!” The figure jumps and turns to look at me as I’m halfway across. (Heeeey that not Renise.) Regardless whoever this person is they have a large hammer, and they’re holding that hammer like a baseball bat. OH NO, NONONONO!!
My arms are flailing wildly “HOLD ON I’M NOT GO TO HUR-UH OH!”
*WHAM!*
My midsection is slammed by the corner of my crater and no amount of armor is going to prevent me from pissing blood later.
(Damn you... depth perception...)
“‘Scuse me lad but would ya mind tellin me why ya thought it wise to jump that there damnable crater and scare me near shitless with yer screaming?”[???]
I look up at the source of the gruff Scottish voice and see a short, broad-shouldered, bearded, man in purple and gold plate mail.
“I honestly couldn't say, I thought I could make it, and it seemed like a good idea at the time.”I give the mystery man a pained shrug but it goes unnoticed as he throws his head back in a deep hearty laugh.
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *sucks in air like a vacuum cleaner* That’s a good one. But if you don’t mind lad do ya think you could answer me seriously, or do I have to introduce ya ta my hamma, Agnis? [???]
The man lowers his war hammer down next to my head and starts to gently swing it like a golfer lining up for the perfect shot.
“Okay, okay, I’ll tell you, geez. My name is Jon and I jumped over here to find my friend, Renise.”[Me]
His eyes widen slightly in an act of clear recognition.
“Hold on lad, yer the friend that Renise mentioned?”[???]
“Ummm, I guess? I healed her up after that huge explosion.”[me]
“Oy, then why didn’t you just say so in the first place? Here ya go lad, let me help you up a bit.” The man drops his hammer, reaches down, and grabs me by both of my shoulders whilst yelling, “Heave-ho lad!” At that, he grunts slightly and throws me over his shoulder and onto the ground behind him and land on my back.
“Greetings lad, my name is Sheamus”[Sheamus]
Sheamus leans over me and shoots me a wild grin. “So tell me, lad, how is it that someone as scrawny as yerself can leap a hole that stretches wider than a whoores arsehole.”
(Holy shit this guy makes sailors look tame.)
“Well Sheamus, I -
“ Wait Sheamus don’t kill him!” Renise jogs up from behind Sheamus and pulls him away from me as stand up. “I know he’s may look dangerous but he’s actually the friend I mentioned before and-
“It’s okay lass we have already established that fact, I was merely wondering how he hopped across that crater.”[Shamus]
“And as I was about to say, it was magic.”[me]
Sheamus shakes off Renise and looks up at me. (So this is a dwarf huh?){That’s correct, and please note his squat figure, squared ears, and large beard as these are the trademark features of most dwarves.}(Neat)
“ Just magic huh? That’s a bit disappointing but I suppose that's to be expected.” The dwarf shrugs his shoulders. Which earns a slight glare from Renise.
“So are we all set to get going Renise?” Renise looks at me quickly and she stutters slightly.
“S-sure, but could you use your bag and carry some of what I grabbed?”
“Sure” I open my bag while Renise piles in three short swords, 3 potions of varying color, several books, 3 robes that held the human king's insignia, and 1 more that was in the same style of her own robe.
I look at Sheamus and Renise “Okay, this seems good. Are we all set to head towards the Kingdome then?”
Sheamus shrugs “Sure I am as long as long as ‘am not asked for directions.”
Renise smiles while rolling her eyes at our dwarvish companion. “Yes, I even found a map so that we don’t get lost.”
“Alright then, let's go and you can lead Renise.”[me]
