The morning hits as Alicard returns and shut of the door. Lance snaps awake at the table where his drawing was. Lance turns to see Alicard with a makeshift basket full of weapons and another with food. "So good news and bad news. Good news is that we have more supplies. Bad news is that we can't bring the food along with us we'll need to be quick in there, so eat up I can't store all of this in the cellar." Alicard says dropping the basket of food. Lance is amazed by all of the food he sees while Alicard puts the weapons off to the side "I'm checking up on Stryker to see how she's doing." Alicard says climbing up the staircase. The door cracks open to see Stryker sitting on her bed looking at her sword. "How are you feeling Stryker?" Alicard says concerned. She looks at him as she places her sword on the bed "Could be better." Alicard relieved says "You did great. I'm very proud of you." Stryker with glee hops off of her bed and says "Heard you had food. and on top of that you owe me some honey nut treats." Alicard laughs it off and says "Be my guest, help your self to the food." she gladly walks down the stairs and sees the basket of food and starts to eat a bit. Alicard followed after Stryker "From my guess," Alicard says "It'll take us about two to three days to reach Tranquility so about two and a half days to reach the Albatross fortress." "Well that's not too bad of a walk." Lance says as he takes a bite out of a hunk of meat. "Well," Alicard claims, "if we set off now and know exact locations are, we might make it to a safe spot by night fall and attack in the day break." "Not a bad idea-" Stryker says "But a foolish attempt." Lance interrupts. "Night fall is the best time to attack for we'll have the shadows for ourside." Lance buffs an apple but Alicard takes it and bites into it and says "And so will they, face it it's a lose lose situation we need a middle ground. "What about day time?" Stryker says in her pause of eating. "That won't work either they'll see us in broad daylight obviously." Lance says Alicard looks back at the sketched fortress "Where is this in a tree?" Lance looks back at Alicard "Yea on an old oak why?" Alicard snickers "Well cutting it down or setting charges won't work not to mention I don't have those supplies anymore so we climb up and burn the supports." Lance in a worry "Then they'll retaliate." Alicard sets the prints down "Then we'll kill them all." Stryker and Lance look at him in a sort of disbelief "There are far worse than me killing think of it as a debt to society." There's a long pause of silence. "Fine," Lance says "it won't be easy." Alicard walks past Lance and says "Well who said it would be easy." Alicard walks up the staircase to prep for the attack.
Night time hits as a cool breeze hits the three "We start now we'll be there by daytime with reasonable breaks of course." Alicard says fixing his satchel as we heads off. Stryker shuts the door behind Lance as they catch up to Alicard. "The map says that we're getting close to an up coming town." Alicard says. "This'll be our stop for the night lets pray to Azawrath that there's an inn near by." the trio enters the town to see a huge market area. food, weapons armor, spells everything that one needs. the three pass on through to find the inn. "By the Gods." Lance says "Finally! we found it." Stryker says with glee "Hope to the gods they're cheap." Alicard says as they enter. "Welcome to the Sard inn. My my, you three look tired beyond belief." the maiden behind the counter says "We'd like a room." Alicard says "Certainly, you three look like you've been through a lot you'll be in room three to your left." she hands the key to Alicard. he starts handing her the gold but she says "With Ariendel's kindness in mind, you can sleep for free tonight." Alicard gratefully says "Surely I can pay you at least a small fee." She raises her hand: "I insist please." Alicard places down five gold on the counter and walks to the room. She takes the gold and places it in the small chest under the counter. Inside the room had a chair, a bed, a window, and a trunk at then end of the bed. "Should get to bed,the all of us." Alicard says taking off his robe and satchel. He sits in the chair as Stryker and Lance take the bed. "Try anything and off the bed you go. Got it?" Stryker says. Lance with a smirk says, "Shouldn't I say that to you?" She turns to face the wall : "Shut up." Alicard laughs it off and soon they all drift to sleep.
The beams of light come through the window waking Alicard so see Lance and Stryker cuddling with each other. Alicard smiles: "Is there something you'd like to tell me Strykie?" Stryker wakes up a bit to see her and Lance's arms around each other. In a panic, she shoves him off with a face full of red. As soon as Lance hits the ground he flails his dagger all over the place. Alicard laughs it all off as he places his gear back on. After a few minutes of settling down the other two get ready and head out while Alicard waiting outside of the inn checking his supplies. The two step out of the inn, Alicard says "Are we ready?" The two nod, "Then let's go." Alicard smiles as he leads the others out of the town.
