A carriage carrying goods making it's way torwards the town. The merchant a man in his 40's had hired a group of Adventurers for protection. Though this particular part of the country was pretty bandit free there was always a chance and this merchant didn't like taking chances.
"At this rate we'll be in the town in no time." A female adventurer with red hair says.
"Hey don't let your guard down Siena. It's time like these when things go wrong."
The girl named Siena replied "Yea, Yea I know. No need to be so serious all the time Arsinio."
"Hmph if anyone attacks us we just crush them" A big muscled adventurer chimes in.
"It's amazing you're still alive with that kind of muscle headed thinking Bardo."
"Hahaha, Thanks Bianey" The man called Bardo says.
"It wasn't a compliment, idiot" Bianey say exasperated.
The merchant frowns. Listening to the adventurers conversation. Normally
He would hire C rank adventures or higher if he could afford it. But since he couldn't afford it he had to hire these D ranks instead. He sighed he sure hoped nothing happened.

"Boss look there. Something is coming"
The Boss takes looks out to where his subordinate pointed. He smiles.
"Boys looks like we've found our prey. Go move take out the driver of the carriage first."

An arrow pierces the throat of the carriage driver stopping it it's tracks.
Another arrow streaks towards Siena but she manages to dodge it.
"Hurry protect the carriage." Arsinio shouts. The 4 adventures surround the carriage.
And thats when the bandits appear.
They all got evil smiles on their faces. Carrying swords and other weapons.
"Well well looks like the catch this time was pretty good." Says a skinny looking bandit.
"Why do you hand over the goods?" An average looking man says pointing his sword at them. "You're outnumbered you know."
"We cannot do that" Arsinio replies.
"Well then you can die."

Tesla and Blackstar were walking down the road for what seemed like an hour or so. So far the journey to the town had been uneventful for Tesla besides his new companion Blackstar but all changed when he noticed a carriage surrounded by a group of shady looking people. He thought the road to the town was relatively safe so it was unusual for bandits to be around these parts.
He stops before they could notice him and thinks.
"There's no way around these guys. Should I wait? No I don't want to waste time. These guys are obviously bad guys. Then should I help these guys out? No I really don't want to risk my life for people I don't know. It's best to just stay on mission." He thought.
Tesla decides to keep moving forward.
One of the Bandits notices him approaching and calls out to him.
"Hey you, stop right there!" He says.
Everyone's attention turns to Tesla who just arrived. He ignores him and tries to walk past them. But the bandit blocks him.
