Grayell waited at the gates of Wistvale by the stables. He wasn't entirely impressed with the information he'd been given and if it were true, it needed to be dealt with immediately.
He'd sent the word and waited for those who would help.
Grayell is fine Chaz. You're not in the guard and it drives me batty anyways.
Grayell smiled and walked into the stables, told the manager it would only be two then.
Alright Chaz, I needed your expertise in particular. I need to go investigate a new siege weapon that may be used against Wistvale if rumors are true. If it proved to be a threat, I may need you to help disable or destroy it.
This could be very dangerous Chaz and as it's just the two of us, it's likely the odds won't be in our favor. But I have no intention of putting you in immediate danger. Think you're up for it?
Hm. Well I could use your expertise. It's a siege weapon in the hands of a hostile force. I can manage them but would like you on hand to deal with the weapon if it's as complex as I hear.
I know, two of us sounds like terrible odds. It is. I can only assure you that I intend to keep you out of harm's way.
He took Grayell's hand and put his other hand on the saddle, trying to pull himself up.
As long as I don't have to talk to it or anything. He looked at the horse suspiciously as he made it into the saddle, holding on with both hands, his hair standing on end a little bit.
This isn't going to end well, I can feel it.
A good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good engineer is a person who makes a design that works with as few original ideas as possible.
Grayell clicks his tongue and flicks the reins and they jot out of Wistvale and onto the road. It's a nice day, pleasant enough weather, the ride should be without too much trouble.
Alright then. We'll camp tonight off the road aways. But tomorrow evening we'll be at our destination. I think the dark should help us quite a bit.
Grayell was looking ahead, slightly ahead of Chaz.
Well from what I hear, it shoots flame. Giant balls of the stuff.... but worse than say a catapult. I couldn't gather much more than that, other it's been used and the results are very dangerous.
