¬Instinto/Misutikku north east border, south west of the city of Ihan.¬ Close to where the three kingdoms meet is a single great road, a road that has been fought over during the wars. Now it is the main route of trade for all three kingdoms, only it is hardly well protected. To the south it's patrolled, to the north and to the west, but here? Here on the border, no kingdom takes responsibility, or at least do not wish to anger to other with action. So when bandits started raiding caravans from the ruins, well, who was going to sort it? Abe Caldwell set up a small camp to the side of the main road. With no affiliation to any of the kingdoms, this man sets him and his small group of men up at the border to beat back the bandits. Not only beat them back, but he's sent out a bounty too all three kingdoms and their settlements. To hunt down the bandits and capture their leader, a simple enough request, requiring individuals of at least a modest amount of skill. |

Encampment - Arrival Long ago the student had learned a valuable lesson from his distant master, and it a very simple lesson that he was reminded of every single day spent travelling seeking the shelter from good natured folk of the Three Kingdoms looking into a dwindling coin purse it was plain and simple, no one was above reproach of their finances and that well was beginning to run dry. While capable he never really fancied himself a warrior, let alone a Ronin but as work dried up at the Temple and surrounding villages the nameless traveller found himself grossly under financed and he didn't fancy the idea of taking a loan under the Grand Master, it was liberating to earn his own keep and demoralising to borrow money from the Temple that had already provided him so much in the way of knowledge and training. Raising his conical hat to the path ahead he was pleasantly surprised they had reached their destination, and just as the clouds begun to gather as was tradition, April coo'd softly into his ear from her perch, a single leather pauldron providing adequate protection from the vice grip presently deep in slumber and having reached the gate of the encampment, he felt a callous look descend upon him as if they already come to suspect him of foul play but no words left their lips and the two guards might have been mistaken as Oni statues if not for the unmistakable feeling of their aura about them. "I understand there is employment here, for Ronin?" He showed his rice paper parchment acquired from a local village elder only two days prior, their expressions relaxed and after exchanging a few pleasantries and proving he was armed he entered the camp under good graces that he was indeed in the right place, directed to a individual known as Abe Caldwell. It was distinctly a Instinto name, whether it was the case or not this made him uncomfortable given his associations with the House of Summer and Wine. |

Blake let out a small sigh of relief as he set his eyes on the camp, he'd been travelling for a while now and the knowledge that he was here filled him with relief...and trepidation. He knew full well that he had quite a privileged upbringing compared to others and this was his first time out on his own so to speak, a test of skills and resolve. of course even then the only reason he had journeyed forth to this assignment was due to the actions of his sister Julia. A good starting point she had assured him before rapidly walking away, leaving him and Simba alone outside the gates of his family home. To his knowledge nether his sister nor his brother had gotten something similar when they had left for the first time..but he understood. He was the youngest and unlike the rest of his family he frankly sucked when it came to the way of the sword. He however was most skilled when it came to guiding the actions of his partner, Simba, and so far that had been enough to keep him out of any truly dangerous situations. That and liberal use of bribing various bird Pokémon to scout out the way for him. Stepping towards the guards he locked eyes with one before speaking in a firm voice "I am looking for Abe Caldwell" only flashing his papers when the guard showed his submission by turned his head away slightly. After gaining the required information he gave the slightest of nods before heading towards the man in question, time to see what fate had in store. Edited by Savaxis, Apr 7 2017, 09:45 AM.

The man named Tenchi walked confidently, a simple wooden branch serving as a staff, as he drew down the road. Around him, a slender Ralts skipped freely, orbiting around the saffron-robed figure without an apparent care in the world. At the camp, Tenchi paused. "You choose a rare moment to relax, friends. While the road may seem serene, this area has not been regularly patrolled by soldiers in many months. If your intentions are to rest your steeds and wash your feet, I'd vouch that any other road-side in the Empire would be better suited." The Ralts hops up to Tenchi, tugging the robes around his knee, offering up a copy of a poster. "Thank you," Tenchi nods, before scanning the text, "Ah, I see. Bounty hunters, is it? I suppose I should have expected something of the sort from the weapons. At least you seem to be trying to uphold the law by bringing this criminal in alive." |

Miyatso was silent as he continued to walk down the long road with kotatsu next to him. “Ok how many was it this time?” “vul-pix vulllpix” kotatsu barked out. “Oh come on really i didn't get any higher than the last 3 times i'm sure your cheating” he said sounding insulted, while the vulpix seemed to grin smugly, “You know even though i don't fully understand you i can still tell when i am being mocked young misses” the only reply he got was the equivalent of a mocking laugh from the ice themed fox. During the long hours travelling the two had started a game where the vulpix would attempt to imitate other pokemon noises and he would attempt to guess which pokemon it was, needless to say the clever fox had outwitted him countless times during these games. Having journeyed a long way since meeting Kotatsu, Miyatso was tired having only stopped briefly during his trip to visit an old friend called tsubaki who he had known since he was young and to sleep each night. From his friend he heard of a rumour of a majestic creature with ice wings being spotted a long distance from there to the north as well as the risks of travelling that road such as bandits and wild pokemon. And so with that information he set off to attempt to find this mythical being. It had been some weeks of travelling since he left tsubaki’s house. In the distance he saw what looked like a camp close to the road, having not slept for a day ‘since he had heard rumours of bandits in this area’ he did not wish to sleep out in the open he had hoped to come across some kind of settlement in which he could rest. “Well this dosn’t look like a bandit camp so lets see if this is a suitable place to stay.” The guards at the gate were a bit surprised when they saw a man with pure white eyes and snow blond/white hair dressed in a formal white kimono walk up to the gate. Miyatso and Kotatsu approached the camp with no idea what awaited them inside. |

The wind was blowing through the fields, it was a pleasant experience. There were sounds of various bird type pokemon in the distance… But that was of no importance. For what was important, was the extreme training being done here in the field today. “PANDI!” A voice shouted, commanding, strong… exhausted. “You need to focus harder!” The voice cried again… “RA!” A small Pancham raised his arms into the air, biting down on his leaf and gripping a boulder in front of him. His little paws digging into the stone as he attempted to lift in. “PAAAAAAN!!!!” He groaned, trying his hardest to lift it. “You know. Now that I think about it, We don’t really need to move this rock do we.” Behind Pancham, was the owner of the mysterious voice. A tall blond haired man stroking his chin. “PAN!?” Pancham turned to look at the man and threw his hands up. “WHAT!? I just thought that It was blocking our path But… The more I think about it… Can’t we just climb over it?” The man asked. Pandi placed his paw on his face and sighed. “Yeah I know, You didn’t think of it either.” The two stood there, in silence for a moment, trying to figure out how this had come to pass… But neither had a clue… “Wellp, let’s get moving then! We got that… Thing, right? What was it again?” “Pan!” Pancham cried out. “Yeah! That!” The two shared a laugh and made their way down the road… Why they tried to break the boulder, still remains a mystery. |

As the group filters in, the guards will direct you into camp and towards the central tent. Right now the camp isn't much, two tents on either side leading towards a central tent. Heading inside you see it is set up as a small office, a desk and a single chair taking up most of the room. Along the sides has chests and several maps hung up, one large one of the whole island and some more smaller ones to the side. Sitting in the chair, writing on some parchment you find the man who looks up as the first of you arrive (Keitaro). His half burned face regards you, his complexion certainly showing him to be a foreigner to this land, from the homeland of House Instinto. By his side a large swine grunts and rises to two feet, orange and black fur matted as it rises from it's nap, snorting smoke from its nostrils. As the rest of you file in, arriving around the same time, he'll smile at the good fate. "Well, seems have an able group, early too." His voice is low and gruff. He at this point will pull out a map of the local area and the old fort that dominates the region. Straight to the point, he starts to talk. "Don't much care who you are or your life story. I need the bandits gone, and I need them gone a week ago. They serve someone they call Lady Nakitama, don't know who she is, only that my employer would dearly love to question her. You'll get 10 sovereigns per Bandit Helm each, 100 for her capture only 50 if you kill her." He'll glare up to you all and grunt. "Any questions?"

As the man finishes his speech Blake lets his eyes roam the map of the area with interest before turning back to the man, No, the commander and letting his eyes bore into him, not in hostility but simply to show that he was giving this the attention it deserved, humans where one of the few creatures that dint take eye contact as a invitation for hostility after all. "Knowledge of average party sizes and there typical habits would be welcome, do they all have access to Pokémon or just some? do they tend to prefer to use a particular type or are they ragtag, grabbing whatever they can from the surrounding area?" he takes a breath before continuing "If that is the case, information about the species found in this area would be useful."
