“Aye, of course!” says the Captain, reaching into his belt.
From a pouch at his belt he pulls out a small bottle of red liquid, casually throwing it over to you.
“Healing potion. The best I can do for the moment. Our healers remain in camp.”
(OOC - Drinking the potion will heal 1W if you drink it)
“Come, I will summon one to care for the rest once we arrive.”
The wagon is hitched up with new horses and you are offered a ride in the back. The human guard seem to spread out to secure the area whilst the dwarven goat riders escort the wagon.
In the back of the wagon is a human woman and a young girl, both in good, if not overly expensive clothing and a few boxes, all containing rolled up cloth sacks. There does not seem to be anything of noticeable value in the wagon.

"Neat." He said looking at the potion bottle. It could heal him, huh? That's cool. ..how cool would it be if he could heal himself with his chi? That'd be super cool... For now he'd pocket the potion. May want to save it for later just in case.
"Howdy." He said to the two ladies. "Hope the events of the day didn't startle you too much. But these guys look like they have things under control. Where ya headed?" He asked.

The girl is sitting at her mother's feet in the back of the wagon, her mother sitting on one of the benches and looks up at you with very big eyes. The girls hair is bright blonde, the woman's a light brown. Beyond that however they are clearly related, looking very similar.
The mother looking understandably tired, rests a hand on the girls head and smiles a weary smile.
"We're both alive, which I hear is thanks to you, we're both headed to Stonespire, to join my husband. Melissa Jorgensen." She says holding out her hand. "This is my daughter, Astrid."

Melissa and Astrid. Seemed like nice enough people. So those goblins were really a menace to people like these, huh? Good to note.
"It was nothing. Just glad you're ok. My name is Victor, but you can call me Vic. Or Vega, doesn't matter. What matters is getting to this town. Safe, presumably. But no need to worry about that, I'll be here to help any way I can. For the time being, just relax and we'll get you to your husband soon I'm sure." he nodded. Unless spoken to, Vic would wait quietly until they got to the town. He had a lot of questions, but those could wait until he was at the town most likely.

The woman smiles a tired smile and settles down holding her daughter tight to her side.
The wagon rumbles forward but as you stare out the back you realise that it is moving forward far faster that a horses walking pace. It takes only an hour before the forest thins into empty fields and ahead you can see a town, the mountain and the walls you saw from the distance.
It is a town in an alien world! The buildings are late medieval, lots of white walls with solid wooden beams crossing them and red tiled roofs. There is surprisingly solid looking glass in the windows however. The denizens are equally amazing, not the humans of coourse who make up a good fourty percent of the people, it is the Dwarves that really catch your eye. It's like Peter Jackson arrived and was given an amazon sized SFX budget. Dwarves in armour, dwarves in robes, male dwarves, female dwarves, no beards sadly, and even dwarf children playing in the streets.
Dwarves are not the only ones here though!! You see a very few elves, mostly with the long blonde, or brown hair you would expect, but a few with pink or even blue hair and off down one street you are reasonably sure you see a catkin, just for a moment.
The wagon roles up to a building surrounded by armed and armoured dwarves and a few well armed humans. A large muscular blonde human is there and the woman and child race to greet him when they see him.
The Captain ride up beside you and smiles.
“It's always good when you can see the fruits of your deeds, is it not?” He says watching the reunion. “Any family made whole once again is a welcome sight.”

Going into the town was nuts. Vic had hardly played or watched anything high fantasy before, so a bunch of this stuff was pretty new to him. It was something "Straight from DnD" his less informed mind would think. But little did he know he'd like what he saw in the town. Cool buildings, a variety of people, and a variety of races. Elves huh? Those were the ones people liked a lot, right? Well, he certainly liked what he saw in some of them.
"Uh yeah, for sure. So this was her husband and the girl's father huh? Happy ending then." He said getting out of the cart. "Well then. Now that I'm here, I'd ought to make the most of it, yeah? Better go find some food, I'm starving." He said looking around. "What place has some good eats, captain?"

The Captain grins and slaps you on the back, gesturing his brother over.
“Well brother, our guest is hungry. Let us show him true dwarven hospitality!”
Jared throws his halberd into the wagon, hooking a smaller axe into his belt and claps his hards together.
“My wife is a famous cook, and I have no doubt she will have food on now she has heard we have arrived. Come and I shall show you what a dwarven feasting really means.”
The captain waves you off.
“I must ensure the supplies are secured but I shall join you presently.”
And with that you are led off down the street. A large house at the end of the street is your destination and Jared pushes the door open to the squeals of children.
“Daddy, you're back... did you bring us presents... did you fight any goblins...look I drew you a picture..... hurry up, mummy says we can't eat until you're here!!”
Three small dwarf children mob him. Two girls and a boy, their ages difficult to determine and he laughs clearly enjoying the welcome.
A dwarven woman glides through the mob of children to plant a kiss on his cheek as Jared speaks.
“Calm, calm, all of you we have a guest. Master Vega... this is my wife Laurel, my son Kalen and my two daughters, Aida and.... Oh what was her name....”
“Daddy!!!!!!!” Wails the little girl at the teasing.
“My darling daughter Mira.” Says Jared with a laugh, the little girl pouting, hrumphing and stamping a foot. “Family, Master Vega is a combat mage of considerable skill and came to my aid when we were attacked by a horde of goblins. I promised him a feast, so I hope there will be enough.”
Laurel looks at her husband with a grin then turns to you.
“Master Vega, thank you for bringing my husband home to me, be welcome in my home. Come sit and eat.”
The food is amazing, roast boar, roast drake, poached quail, roasted vegetables with herbs. It is different to the food you are used to but you can easily imagine she is a famous cook.

"Glad to bring him back to you safe, and glad to sit and eat!" He says siting down to enjoy the meal. Enjoying the different dishes, he was extremely happy that this world had good food. A world with bad food would suuuuuck.
"I thank you very much for the amazing meal! With that, though, I should be going! Have a life of adventure to catch up to." He said patting his belly. "If you could just point me to the right direction, I'll be running off." He smiled.
