"So Garnet did you ever find any leads on who's behind these people?" Blitz asks
Garnet looks up "Yeah but ya might not like what I say"
Blitz and Moonshine look at her curiously "Why would that be?"
"The only lead I got was from a regular customer, he said that someone named Blitz was going around the guild hiring people to attack your tavern, by the time I got here to warn you though it was too late I just heard the horses coming towards me" Garnet says. "The worse thing is people didn't believe he was Blitz, because he looked older than you but then he had the person do his class and skill and it came up 'Unique Multi' like yours."
"So you're saying there is a person that's using my name and has my exact class and skill but it's not me" Blitz says.
Garnet nodded "Sorry if that's not what you want to hear."
Blitz simply laughs "Why didn't I think of that sooner? Who else would know where we are to gather people with our building's weaknesses and attack it if they weren't me somehow?" He looks around seeing everyone looking at him shocked. "Guys relax I'm only joking trying to get a laugh out of you before we have to move." The others shake their heads in shame. "Okay but we do know he is one of only 2 people that have my class and skill meaning if we get word of this again, Garnet can contact us faster with these." He points to the necklaces. "Meaning we can prepare for a counter-attack early."
Garnet and Moonshine nod "That is a very valid point."
"For now let's take a break here, have Blaze keep watch above and let us know if anything suspicious is happening, and relax" Blitz says.
Blaze nods, "I'll keep watch. Also, Me and Garnet built a tunnel to the Mechanic that took us both in so we were wondering if you'd like to move by us. We already have your tavern set up and the whole town is saying they will trust whoever we bring back is the actual Blitz. They agreed they are willing to stand by you guys if you move in."
Blitz looks at Moonshine and they both affirmatively nod. Then, they heard a yell in the woods as Batey jumped out of a nearby tree, "I use one of my one bounce arrows to bounce my arrow off a nearby tree into one of their scouts from an angle that makes it seem like we went in a different direction."
"That was a smart move Batey, good job." Blitz says patting her head. "Also, Blake, you were quick and decisive even when enraged at the tavern most ragers can't control themselves when they rage but you did good."
Both kids smile as the group rests and Blaze takes to the sky.
