With no bird left, she stands up and moves towards the two+1 waiting at the water's edge. "Hiya!" She says, that ancient sword strapped to her back with a bit of rope. The sword is so over-sized for her it's almost comical.<br/><br/><strong>"Hello, you two. Since we all seem to have randomly landed in the same place, and you two especially have proven able to take care of yourselves-I mean, you don't just waltz out of an abandoned warehouse without some skill-it seems we'll be a team together. I am Carolina, soul stealing witch who will totally stab you in the back for no reason."</strong><br/><br/>"Hiya! I'm Candie. I've already contracted a bunny named fluffles to stab you in the back in case you stab me in the back." She says this quite seriously, completely deadpan. "And we not only made it out of the warehouse, we made it out with loot." She shows off the sword and helm. Even if corroded and useless as little more than historical pieces, they are still technically loot. At least it's loot that has the rambunctious rodent ear perks and tail whipping.<br/><br/><strong>"So I've got a possible lead. The forum seems to house a Minotaur clan that apparently likes to collect gold."</strong><br/><br/>"It makes sense, this ancient city is looking pretty labyrinthine. Luckily we've got a map for the first leg of it." With that, Candie pulls out the instant Polaroid she took from above the city when she was hanging from the rope. It's not the most perfect map, only being from a moderate distance up, but it's better than being blind.<br/><br/><strong>"I-I'd rather avoid the deadly minotaurs. O-Only one of us h-here really s-seems to be good in cl-close-quarter combat. I-If we do g-go after them th-though, it would b-be better to l-lure them out into an op-open area."</strong><br/><br/>One of the rodent girl's ears swivel a little, perpetually scanning, or maybe its just ear tourettes. "We don't really have a choice. Our goal is the center of the city. Do we know if the forum is the center of the city, or the center of this district? We might be lucky and avoid the minotaurs if we keep to the district outskirts and they're at the center of this district, but if they're in the center of the city we have to deal with them. And honestly, we're not even one year into this. The teachers wouldn't send us against something we can't handle in our first initiation rite, and they can't guarantee we won't be idiots and try to headbutt a minotaur."<br/><br/>"If we can get the drop on them, we might be able to end the fight before it begins. Red flag waved in front of a stone wall. Imagine the pain of that headbutt. If we try to avoid them, we risk meeting them on their terms. If we can pull together a good plan, we can get significant advantage by choosing the conditions we meet them. One of these is the safest course of action, but not necessarily the one that involves trying to avoid combat. What more do we know about them and their behavior? Can we negotiate with them?"<br/><br/>Loot List:<br/>A broken bronze commander's issue sword of Remus's past<br/>A bronze Remus commander's helm
