[Delivery] Straight to the Wall

There's roughly half a mile between the city's edge and the wall at the canyon, perhaps even a mile. It takes a while, and the mule is slow. At least the scenery is worth noting.

Alaric walked slowly alongside the mule, keeping a half eye out on the path. To make up for his inattentiveness Vladmir circled high above him. Staying above the roof tops to keep and eye down the alleys Vladmir watched for any movement.

Alaric - Keep an eye out up there, you give us the edge here buddy.

Vlad - You got it. So far so good.

Exiting the city, nothing untoward happened. Now they were just on the path towards the wall, running along the water. Rather hard to hear things.

Vladmir continues to circle overhead, coming a bit lower now that there was a lack of buildings. Alaric focused most his attention to the river, wondering how the fishing was.

There was a suggestion of falling dust, though it's hard to be sure.

Alaric - Dirt?

Vlad - I'll go check the lip

And so Vladmir started to gain altitude, looking to check the top of the canyon as Alaric tried to coax some more speed out of the mule

At the very top was a very dark cave with a trail leading towards the wall.

Vlad - Looks like a path to the wall through a cave. Expect an ambush at wherever this cave comes I'll try and trace it from the air

Alaric - Good idea, just be careful, and don't stray to far.

Alaric look a quick moment to walk a circuit around the moving cart and moving on while Vladmir set to trying to find the other end of the save while not entering the cave.

There didn't seem to be another end as far as he could see. It was deep, that's all he could tell. And nothing seemed willing to come out.

Seeing trying to find the other side of the cave safely was futile Vladmir did a wing over back to the canyon lip, keeping an eye on the cart as it traveled.

We'll have to keep alert, I can't see where that cave goes.

It was about this time that the bandits attacked. Four of them, two with swords, two with daggers. The two with daggers surfaced from the bank of the river, and the two with swords were hiding behind rocks ahead.

Alaric shook his head in annoyance as he drew his blades. and Vladmir began to descend slowly, getting to about 15 feet above the canyon floor.

Alaric - What do you want? I don't have much coin and you aren't getting these weapons. Why don't you put your toys away before I hafta hurt you.

Vlad, as soon as they turn down I want you to go for the eyes of one of them, then get back up to altitude before you get hurt

Consider it done

One of the bandits scoff as the other three start to move to positions all around him.

"You're one man. We're four. Put YOUR weapon down and you might leave alive."

As the leader finishes his sentence Vladmir flies into position above him. Once the last word leaves his mouth Vladmir pitches down and fold his wings backwards, diving strait for the bandits eye, aiming to bury his beak into the stragglers skull through his eyes socket.

Alaric spun his cutlass in his right hand and started towards on of the aggressors. He went for a dagger wielder first, taking slow deliberate steps rather than rushing into the engagement.

Vlad's attack wasn't quite true. He scored a good hit on the leader's skull, but the leader wasn't put out. He swung at the bird.

The other three closed around Alaric, not going at him one at a time. The one he went for danced back while the other two moved in to hamstring him.
