Griffin witnessed, as had Elia, began healing Tachanka's wounds. He watched as translucent little butterflies flew around the wound. It looked like they were moving in a motion that made it appear as if they were sewing it back together. It didn't take long, however, for Griffin's attention to be drawn back to the wolves. Some were still alive and simply knocked out. Griffin would assume they would kill the living ones before having them be skinned. He couldn't imagine anything being skinned alive. He also didn't understand Malik's interest in the wolves, to begin with, anyway, granted he wasn't a businessman, so he lacked understanding in that area. As it grew darker he started thinking about what they would do. But it all seemed to vary on what the party is capable of doing, he says.

"If we do camp I can keep an eye out on things while you guys rest. If we decide to continue on through the night, I'm okay with that as well."​

Malik Seraphim

Malik's violet eyes scanned the party members as they dealt with their individual matters. Everyone seemed caught up in their own world.

With a mix of amusement and irritation, Malik noted that none of them seemed particularly keen on helping him with the wolves, even though the pelts could fetch a good price in the markets. His past experiences had honed his senses, teaching him to pick up on the subtle cues of disinterest or distaste. These adventurers were no different.

Silently observing the scene for a few more moments, he thought to himself, *If they don't see the value in this opportunity, then it's their loss.* His past dealings had always been about capitalizing on opportunities, be it in negotiations or exploiting overlooked resources. The wolves were just that - an overlooked resource.

Retrieving the pink crystal flower catalyst from his pocket, he began channeling Fae magics, his hands moving in fluid gestures. The catalyst shimmered, its gentle pink glow amplifying with every chant. Within moments, the area around the wolves began to be enveloped by a violet fog.

The fog had a peculiar property, one that Malik had mastered over time: it could compress and store the matter. As he continued chanting, the unconscious wolves began disappearing into the fog, their forms disintegrating and being pulled into Malik's magical storage. (if this is allowed to work, Malik's killing the wolves that aren't dead in the process)

With each wolf that vanished, he felt the weight of potential gold coins accumulating. The dire wolf, being a rarer find, would be especially valuable. And since none of the party members had shown interest, the profits would be his alone.

After ensuring that all the wolves were stored away, Malik deactivated his catalyst, the pink crystal flower returning to its dormant state. His detection magic, however, remained active - a precaution he continued to take to remain aware of his surroundings.

Malik sniffed and sighed with satisfaction as he pocketed his catalyst and then dusted his hands off while glancing around to ensure he got them all. He felt he had secured a valuable resource, and the night was still young. He looked forward to what else the road delivered to them.

Tachanka visibly wasn't as concerned about the injury as others had appeared to be, Milky giving insistent glares that the canid girl listen to the healer's advice which only became a source of agitation once Eila had informed her to lay off use of said arm.
"Hours? I can't just lay off using a limb for a little injury for hours, how am I gonna-" Tachanka began to respond in complaint before Milky focused her glare of disapproval harder at her, Tachanka sighing and discontinuing her complaint as she muttered under her breath.
"For someone who got protected, you're being critical of me" Tachanka murmured behind Milky's back as the furpent turned her attention to the rest of the group to see that Malik had went to collect about all of the wolves for his own personal use. Wolf pets did indeed hold value to the right buyers and were in safe condition, although she was currently busy with her own work whereas she wouldn't have time to attend to such matters when they arrived to Sootspire.

"Sorry I may not lend much assistance, but pelts and the like are not my specialty, nor will I have time to do anything with them after the trip. Feel free to keep them for whatever business ventures it is that you partake in" Milky said with a small smile as she had listened to Griffin about his willingness to be of assistance depending on their next move. Seeing as they had just dealt with a problem of being attacked, so that bandits were aware of their position as well as they knew wolves were present in the woods, Milky wasn't entirely pleased with the idea of camping in the thick forest.
"With the support of those we have keeping an eye out and those who are combat-capable, we should probably try to push through this route as fast as possible to avoid having to stay around any more trouble" the furpent had came to the conclusive choice, encouraging that they now begin to push onward in order to try and complete their journey. Tachanka wasn't thrilled about having to keep helping move the cart now missing one arm's strength to do it.

---

With much more time passing into the night, the group trudged on through the dark in hopes of not dealing with anything else problematic on the road. Their travels remained rather quiet and peaceful for the rest of the thick forest, albeit hints of potential danger picked up via Malik's own aura capabilities that were busy with sleeping throughout the night to bother being a problem. Having not took the time to camp out and rest, there was no visible further return of any bandit forces to exact revenge likely as the danger threat and having not given preparation time for them to be prepared and return.

The road got a little more worn and bumpy near the end, but other than a few rocky roads and muddy paths there wouldn't be much of anymore trouble for the escort mission in general. Although they had been in the dead of night, they had managed to break out of the confines of the dense woods where the visible silhouette of Sootspire was in sight and a clear road to it.

"A-at last, we... basically made it" Milky panted a little having been travelling for a long while, whereas her partner who was originally enthusiastic for the trip and wanting to get outdoors now just wanted to find a cosy place to sleep. Milky caught her breath a moment as she gave a soft smile to the party members that had accompanied the trip.
"Thank you all for coming along, I hope it wasn't much trouble for you. It'll be fine if any of you have plans to go elsewhere, but it should be safe to finish the trip without anyone coming along. We'll just be delivering this stuff by ourselves and hopefully setting in to rest" Milky spoke as she gave a little small bow in thanks, knowing the trip probably wasn't possible at all without the assistance or safety in numbers others had helped in providing.

LOCATION: near or outskirts of Soothspire


Griffin had concerns that Tachanka wouldn't listen to Elia, the only healer they had in the team, as far as he knew. So he had been relieved when Milky had been more effective at reinforcing Elia's orders. If it had been anyone in the group, the stubborn canine would have listened to seemed to be her furry serpent friend. How Griffin wished he had a friendship like that in this world. After Malik had collected the wolves, Griffin had walked up to Malik.

"I'm sorry about not helping, I was worried about Tachanka and I'm not strong enough to pick up a wolf....I wish you luck on selling your pelts!"

Griffin explained. He hoped Malik wasn't too angry over it. He didn't even have any interest in asking for any profits. Even if he did, he would believe himself not worthy of it, since Griffin didn't really help much. After that came the trip that lasted through the night. Griffin was exhausted, it had been a long trip and they did it all in a day. A day that felt like it went on forever when goblins, wolves, a dire wolf and some bandits. Luckily, there seemed to be no more trouble as they finished the trip. Now they seemed close enough to the end of the trip, so to say he was exhausted was an understatement. He replies to Milky.

"It was no trouble at all, Milky and Tachanka. Make sure you guys and....make sure Tachanka really doesn't use that arm. Also it was nice meeting you all, maybe we'll see each other again at some point."

Malik Seraphim

As the group neared the town of Sootspire, Malik maintained his detection magic, his senses alert and extended into the surrounding area. Despite their proximity to safety, his caution did not waver; the events of the journey had taught him that danger could lurk around any corner. The quiet hum of his magical energies was a steady presence at the back of his mind, a silent sentinel watching over the party.

Malik took the opportunity to approach his fellow travelers, his demeanor calm and composed, a small smile playing on his lips. He had noticed the lack of assistance in collecting the wolves, but he chose not to comment on it directly. Instead, he focused on expressing his gratitude and making connections that could prove beneficial in the future.

"Thank you all for your support during this journey," Malik began, his voice steady and sincere. "Your combat skills have been invaluable in ensuring our safety."

He turned to Nox, offering a nod of respect. "Your swordsmanship is quite impressive, Nox. It's not every day that one gets to witness such skill in action."

Shifting his attention to Eila, Malik's smile softened. "And Eila, your healing abilities put my mind at ease. Knowing we had a capable healer in our midst made all the difference."

Malik paused, his gaze sweeping over the rest of the group. "I must express my gratitude to each of you. Your presence and efforts have made this journey safer and more pleasant than it would have been otherwise."

He took a moment to gather his thoughts before continuing. "If any of you ever find yourselves in need of goods or services, I would be honored to assist you through my trading company, Silver Star. We deal in a variety of items, and I am always looking to expand our network and establish new business ties."

With a final nod, Malik concluded, "I wish you all safe travels and good fortune. Until our paths cross again."

With that, Malik bid the group farewell, his mind already turning to the future. He had plans to establish business ties locally, and the wolves in his magical storage would play a key role in that. While he had not voiced these plans out loud, he had every intention of using the resources at his disposal to make them a reality.

Nox, having completed the adventure and fulfilled her duty, bid her companions farewell as they reached their destination, making sure to retrieve the proper paperwork from Milky. She made her way towards the guild hall, her crimson aura gradually dissipating as she left behind the camaraderie of the group. As she passed by Malik, she offered him a nod of acknowledgment, a silent gesture of gratitude for his presence and assistance during the journey.

With the guild hall in sight, Nox's thoughts turned to her next steps. She knew that her path as an adventurer was far from over, and the mysteries of this world continued to beckon her. With a sense of purpose and resolve, she entered the guild hall, ready to face the challenges and adventures that lay ahead.

Milky smiled softly over the positive resolvement of the trip, seeing that it wasn't too troublesome for anyone likely except for Tachanka who was rather uninterested in holding eye contact with anyone for the time being.
"It went good enough, we showed up with what we were supposed to bring" she murmured, wanting to not consider thinking about her own injury much that Griffin and Eila insisted she avoid use of in order to avoid worsening the issue. Milky glanced at the other canid girl before back to the group to find that they were ready to go their separate ways now that they had made it to Sootspire Village.
"Thank you for all your assistance, maybe we will meet again in the future. It's a small world, after all!" Milky answered gleefully as she gave wave to those which were leaving, sighing and turning to Tachanka who was ready to complete the harmless last walk into Sootspire so that their own business may be finished up.

"If you hope to see them again, wouldn't that likely mean we'd end up in trouble or need that help?" Tachanka commented as she looked to the village in question, wanting naught more but to tire out on a bed and sleep after the trip.
"I hope to see them again in better circumstances, maybe I will have grown more as a crafter by then" Milky chimed with a small smile.

A nice simple rp. Everyone gathered for various reasons. Some chitchat. Some combat. And side skills were leveraged too. Feels like the rp may have benefitted from more coordination among the characters, but it was a simple enough mission that it wasn't too big a deal. I believe this was an rp bent around business and adventuring. Let me know if I forgot something.
