Collin's Otherworld Adventure

After four days of traveling on foot, Me and Klein finally arrive at a Lizardman tribe, we are stopped by an armed Llizardman, he points his battleaxe and asks aggressively.

"what business do you outsiders have here."

Klein looks at me and mouths.

"let me handle it."

Klein slowly raises his hand up and says.

"we are with the Brotherhood guild."

the Lizardmen lowers his weapon and says.

"welcome back, your guild always does good for our tribe thank you."

Klein then replies.

"no let us thank you, i assure you, your tribe helps our guild."

the Lizardman chuckles and then says with concern in his voice.

"I need to warn you, the battles have been getting closer to the outer tribes, so we cant guarantee your safety."

Klein replies.

"thanks for your concern, but we have any idea about what we are getting into."

the Lizardman waves goobye to us, Me and Klein continue to walk, as we are walking I break the silence and ask Klein.

"so what are we doing? are we killing dangerous monsters for them?"

Klein gives me a serious look and replies.

"no, we just go around the tribe and do whatever minial task they ask of us, it could be cooking, lending a helping hand in farming, polishing the tribe's gaurds weapons."

I give him a confused look and reply.

"excuse me? what?"

Klein smirks and replies.

"you heard me."

i think to myself.

"I travel all this way, just so i can do minial tasks, what the hell"

I reply half heartedly.

"so we do what they ask and we get supplies from them?"

still smirking he replies.

"yup now lets split up we only got like four days to get what we need, good luck Collin."

Klein walks off and starts talking to random locals, I walk around asking around and finally landed on something i can do, and it was polishing the weapons, I think to myself.

"I thought I was going to experience something exciting on this trip."

I got to experience the way Lizardmen live their lives, they dont have currency, they barter with goods and services, the weather since we got here has been hot and humid, and ive been sweating at various places that I havent sweated at in a while, i think to myself.

"this sucks."

at least after i finish up they, will give me healing potions, which is exactly what we are running low on, after an hour i finish polishing the weapons and finally move on to cleaning the gaurds quarters and spent a couple of hours before i finished that up, I head to the leader that set up the deal and gives me five tubes of the healing potion, i bow my head and said.

"thank you."

he chuckles and says.

"dont thank us, we in this tribe appreciate your guild, even though there is a war going on, your people bring morale up in these times."

i then ask to myself.

"so we actually make a difference here?"

I walk out of the only building made of stones, while the local people live in wooden hutts, I wonder around seeing how peaceful this place seems, I then think to myself.

"just by the looks of this tribe, it doesnt seem like the theres a war going on."

After walking around for a while, I run into Klein, who finishes shaking hands with a local he notices me, approaches me and then asks.

"so what did you get so far?"

I take out the five healing potions and show it to him, he looks at me with pity and asks.

"is that all?"

I make noticeable worried face and reply.

"is this not good enough."

his face of pity changed into a smile and then start laughing and says.

"naw you did good Collin, its just the first day, we will have more time on the other days."

i think to myself in relief.

"good, i thought i did bad for a second there."

Klein then says.

"Lets go the sun his going down, and I found a good spot for us to set up our camp."

After we set up our camp, Klein goes straight to sleep, and i think go myself.

"even though they told me that we dont get proper rest when we sleep, they all seem to sleep pretty well."

I still havent gotten use to not getting proper sleep, even though my body rests physically, it feels like I cant rest mentally, I force myself to lay down and go to sleep, an hour or so passes by and I am awaken by the sounds of yelling, weapons clashing and magic being fired off, Klein also wakes up, we both quietly step outside our tent, and see that there are Lizardmen wearing Gray Armor, Klein then says.

"This is not good, it looks like the combat as reached out here."
