"V-very well..." Placing the potion back in her bag, Guinevere turns to the others. "Stocking up later... would be something of a bad idea, as we have resources we can use in this town... that... and those things are still out there, and they'll keep coming. So let's stock up on supplies now while we have a chance, okay?" She seems a bit calmed from earlier as she states her point.

Age: 42
Background/Description: He started out as a serf for a higher lord, where he worked long hours harvesting crops for little, and sometimes no, compensation. It was this trait that taught him how to live off of what others gave him, both willingly and not. When the first invasion of the "mythical" beings came from the gap, he was forced to fight using what little armor and weapons he could spare, despite being horribly inept with physical combat where he became infected by what made the mythical beings mythical. Thought to be dead, he wandered around and hid from civilization of any sort, but quickly came out of hiding during present day.

Hector straightens up after he loots the two orcs, dividing the wealth equally between himself, Guinevere, and Waldemar. Ultimately, he has no cares as to where they go.

Hector retrieves six gold pieces from the orcs; he hands them out in twos.
From a distance, but getting nearer, the pounding of hoofs signals the arrival of a horseman. At the same time, from the other direction, a crossbow bolt shoots past Hector's ear as he hands out the gold - an orc archer has managed to approach the village unnoticed, and threatens to inflict grievous casualties if left unchecked. As the crossbowman cranks up his weapon for a second shot, the horseman bursts onto the scene with a cry of "Victory!", and charges straight for the archer. Just before it met its end, the orc manages to fire off one last bolt, which plunges into the horse's chest. The mount lands heavily on the crossbow, shattering it beyond repair, and the rider leaps off to the side, rolling from the landing and taking off the head of the marauder with a single swift sword sweep.
A new individual has arrived.

Name: Sir Impressio de Victoire
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Background/Description: As one of the most difficult of Lord Armand Victoire's knights to get on with, Sir Impressio was sent straight to the front line at the first opportunity. Sir Impressio considers himself the most important figure in any given situation, and is only occasionally right. He stands nearly seven feet tall, covered in muscles and quivering with barely-restrained machismo. His short black hair and oversized moustache neatly frame a pair of watery blue eyes and a large Roman nose. He could, perhaps, be called handsome, if anyone could find the time between calling him a reckless fool and an overbearing incompetent.
Profession: Knight
Rank: 0
Sir Impressio briefly looks about for further invaders. Satisfied that there are none, he turns to the others.
"I am Sir Impressio de Victoire, Knight under Lord Armand Victoire," he declares. "This village is now under my protection. Whom do I have the honour of commanding?"

Watching the events that just played out Guinevere shakes her head. 'If only someone like this had arrived sooner...' Hearing his question and putting the two gold pieces away in her bag with a small thanks to Hector, she speaks up. "Uh... The name is Guinevere Freer, I'm a healer... thank you for the assistance..." She eyes the downed horse with a saddened expression, before looking to the others.

"Hector Cook." Hector tells him, looking slightly uncomfortable with speaking.

Name: Waldemar Nische
Gender: Male
Age: 76
Background/Description: Waldemar's life is best described as being boring, barely worth of description. His early life was a shelter, demanding parents have made sure to crush his youthful, imaginative mind under the weight of responsibilities, damnating his every error and conjuring up low self-esteem that would later prove crucial to the young wizard's career.
Having learned all he could have been offered, Waldemar joined the academy, where his craft would be put to test. Under the strain of constant labor, trying to prove himself to others, but most importantly, to himself, Waldemar managed to aquire a respectable position of a mentor in only 10 years, a position which he would hold for the next three decades.
Now decrepit and racked by his tired mind, he is to face, what is very probable to be his only journey.
Being a mage his whole life, hell, teaching magic as it is to the future generations, Waldemar was a versatile spellcaster with a wide array of various conjurations at his disposal. He proved to be especially frail due to his old age, but the wisdom that came with such, more than made up for it.
And yet his wisdom did not aid him when dealing with a legendary Sphinx he met by chance on his way to the town of Aereo. The sphinx threatened to attack him, and Waldemar was more than happy to slog it out with the beast. However, he chose instead to take its offer of answering its question. He did so, and was correct, and the Sphinx offered him a single wish in addition to his freedom. This is where Waldemar made a major error. He was getting old. He was tired. He was nearer the dark embrace of death than he cared to be, and he asked the Sphinx to make him "youthful again".
This was his mistake. Youthful again. The sphinx reverted him to a body of a 29 year old, and the mind he had before he joined the magical academy as a mentor and teacher in that far off land all those years ago. He had lost everything; his skill, his knowledge, his proficiency.
It has been one year since he made his crucial error. His personal age has begun to bleed through, and he is not as skilled at picking up the magical art as he once was, much to his chagrin.

Waldemar did not much like the idea of noble authorities commanding him around. Most sat ducks behind secure walls, directing conscripts like him around, with no empathy or compassion for the common man. It was a widespread view that stemmed from daily misery.
"I guess you now commandeer whatever man is still alive in this place."
"And... that's not many at the moment."

Clapping her hands to get the everyone's attention, Guinevere begins speaking. "Right... um, the town square is nearest to our current position. Can we head there? As I said earlier, I can get a few more potions while we are there, which would help when we left this town... or I could always go myself... and come back..." Finishing her small piece, she fidgets a bit, waiting for their answer.

Waldemar has nothing to answer to that, just a nod maybe.
He'd walk first, but it seemed smarter to him that a more arrow-proof figure was in front of him.
