Grinning again, Guts answered: "Young Dak, have I mentioned 'making them hold responsibility' involves a sharp dagger and a couple of matches?"

"Yeah, that is admirable... I hate to say it, but in Eubric, the word 'Hero' seems to be an equivalent of a mercenary. I promise you this, if I find out the Mining Guild withheld ANY information, or had ANY other intentions, sending us here, I will make them hold responsibility. "

He also jumps away from Cronk's sword, and eats another banana, causing him to restore 50 health. Nyx's opponent finally manages to get another shot off, dealing 7 damage.

"As always, Demonspawn, you completely miss the point. Yes, this thing is probably only here to eat, to cater to one of it's most basic instincts. Yet, the same thing can be said about demons that consume the living, or predators that ravage helpless villages. The issue at hand is that it is taking the ores, that the group that hired us wants."

"A bloody monkey looks like a human, does that make it worth of conversation, I don't think so. We kill it, because it is what we were hired for, to stop whatever is causing the minerals to disappear. That thing was munching on some gold, so I think it is safe to assume it is the problem. If you have some moral issues with doing this, perhaps you shouldn't have signed up."

"You compare Scaly to this... thing? You got nerve, Demonspawn. This creature has shown no sign of being sentient, and instead started coming towards us! It's nothing but an animal, and I don't care if this is his home, we have a job to do here. The faster we get that job over with, the better."

"Screw that, he attacked us, and he is obviously behind the problem, furthermore, I doubt he can give us the reward the miner fellows can. Defeat it first, ask questions later." Guts kept on his attack.

Guts moves in position to attack the monster from the front row!

"Don't worry kid, I'm right behind you." All the sarcasm and mocking was gone from Guts's voice, and with his personal piece of magic scrap-metal in hand, he walked towards the sound.

Atramor runs in behind the same target, and tries to stab the man, but he sees the rogue coming, and nimbly moves aside, making Atramor's dagger stabbing nothing but air. Rufindel tries to attack, but the heavy orcish helmet must have him confused, as he instead receives a miracle from his gods.

Ah, I see. Guess I just don't have much experience with the term, and no, we don't really know them here

You are going to have to explain the joke...

That is insulting to all Metasimians

The party decides to go off to visit the scene of the disappearances. They quickly walk out the barracks, not paying attention to the strange looks given to them by the few guards, that are walking through the building, when they saw the heroes come out the prison. When the heroes arrived at the building, it was in the afternoon, but now it is dark outside. Quietly, the heroes walk towards the place Captain Patricia had shown them on the map, it was not a very long walk, the barracks are located relatively close to the Harbour District.
