Eventually the Sarge comes to find me. After I buy him a few drinks, he agrees that it was a stupid job and that we go tell that stuck up wizard to stick her magic wand where it would make her smile for a change.
After that is done the Sarge is still a little tipsy and suggest I'll meet him later at his home. I don't know. I mean, this is military and all, but, uh, this came so suddenly...
I still decide to go and the Sarge takes me to these old ruins to do just some pencil neck bashing together. Uh, I mean, not that I was looking forward to anything else!
Pencil neck bashing would be easier, if the Sarge didn't manage to trigger every single trap we come across along the way. You'd think a professional soldier would know tactics other than "charge straight ahead even when there are no enemies around."
Eventually he gets bored of being maimed...
And so we take a ro...round walk in the forest together!
I show him what they taught me in the army: I cover him as he crosses this empty road. All clear, Sarge! Lalli is watching your back! Closely!
I'm a trained killing machine. I know the forest like my own pockets (from which I, incidentally, can't ever find my keys!) Here I'm camouflaging as a rock.
The forest trip ended so soon. We are back in ruins, which closely resemble the ruins we just left, but the Sarge keeps assuring me it's just a popular architechtural style around here.
Apparently even the traps are exactly the same and in similar places too. Sarge? Where did you go?
Well, since he isn't around, it's more pencil neck bashing for me. Whee!
The Sarge comes back only when we kill the nondescript end boss guy, whose life until our arrival has consisted of sitting on a throne in big stone hall, looking menacing.
Well hey and happy good morning to you too. Sheesh. This is just like my basic training.
Except that they confisticated all my booze while arriving to the garrison for the first time. That taught me to hide them in places they wouldn't search in fear of losing their masculine identity. Hehe! Cheers for clever me!
