He had been at the fort maybe a few days after his blessing had been given in the Capitol Roid. His garb of armor and robes with sword and shield marked him as one of the Holy Knights of Valis, though only a junior member at best. He had been chosen for this particular journey as Arwin felt he needed training and a good march on patrol was good for that. When they had come upon the caravan Marcus gripped his shield tightly and closed his eyes for a moment the memories coming back to him. This is how his village had looked after being attacked. However after that moment's hesitation he leapt into action. He was trying to tend the wounded as best he could.<br/><br/>It was about then that they spotted someone coming up the road. Marcus had been about to draw his sword but then he saw that one of the people coming was a priestess of Marfa thought a grim faced dwarf. "Oh thank Pharis." he said moving to them. The young knight stood up from where he had been helped right an overturned wagon and moved to greet them. Being a knight while he was gifted with some healing abilities he paled far behind a full priest in actual power. Before he would be able to make a full introduction Arwin had called to lead the survivors back to the fort and if people were willing to track down the brigands and deliver justice.<br/><br/>While Marcus wasn't interested in serving justice he did feel that taking out these bandits would serve a greater good in that more innocent lives wouldn't be killed. Then of course there was the offer of coin from the fat merchant. Men who could be noble in intention or just as greedy as those who caused this mess. It was given to him to know which way the man swung at the moment but the offer of coin was never a bad thing if it be for noble ends. Though he would give some of it to the church of Pharis.<br/><br/>As they were all trying to figure out the direction the attack came from Donwik himself set about the area to see if he might be able to find any evidence of the direction the thieves might have fled. It didn't take Donwik long to find something. He pointed out some of the misplaced boot prints Marcus decided to take a look at them. He had done some tracking with his father before his village was attacked. That had been nearly ten years ago so his skills might be a bit rusty but he still had to try. So he bent down and began to examine them in a bit better detail.<br/><br/>Before he could the weathered dwarf stepped in and told everyone to back off he would handle this situation but that he wanted someone to look after his companion the priestess. Marcus nodded his head leaving the dwarf to ply his trade. He carried a bow and had the calm swagger of a seasoned hunter, something Marcus wasn't exactly. He wasn't exactly totally knowledgeable on books but he had good sense to recognize someone who was good at what they did and to stay out of that person's way.
