Erberk was afraid. He was in the worst part of Skymir, carrying a load of expensive stuff. Yes he did have his dogs. Ruffles sitting next to him. But that wasn't enough to ease his tension. They were a day or so outside of Tir'Dalah - The darkest and most scum filled towns. Even New Haven was nice compared to this place. The only problem is, he got a lot of good trade down here. So he made the trip, for money's sake. He has been robbed once or twice, but it's never enough to discourage him to come back.

Those robberies had been scary, but now he had his dogs, so they should protect him and hsi cargo... hopefully. The mule pulled the carriage through the highway, hoping not to meet up with any bandits.

Well all that wishing and hoping came to no avail - The bandits had arrived. There were two blocking his way. He could tell they were bandits, becuase they held crossbows and had evil grins. They also wore clothing that made him think of one of his past times.

"So we meet again!" Said the leader of the group. He was smiling and it wasn't pleasant. "Erberk, it's just like last time, you go peacefully, we won't have to hurt anyone. Alright?"

Erberk was frightened stiff - but his dogs weren't. he could hear growling beside him and behind him. A bark or two tore out into the highway. Erberk chanced a look behind him. There were his other dogs, Steven included, growling and barking at the men behind him.

"Look, We don't want any trouble. We just want your stuff. We got kids to feed and all that jazz. So why don't you call off your dogs and nothing bad will happen to you?" He said, frowning at Erberk

This only frightened Erberk more... Please... Somebody Help me... was his only thought.
