Labyrinths and Loyalties Part 4

Allie who was from a farming and vineyard community within a days travel was familiar with Les Crepes customs and ways.  He had dreamed of becoming a knight of the brotherhood, just like his father.  However, Allie was not admitted to the order at his turning of age.  For unknown reasons his application was denied and he was instructed not to apply again.  This still did not break his will, he wanted to be a knight of the brotherhood more than anything.  Allie was determined that the successful completion of this adventure would allow him to become a knight.  It was not just the quest and knighthood.  It was about the women who were kidnapped.   Les Crepe had not spent nearly enough resources, they had the army that could go get the girls.  Allie knew this, those women had to be saved.

Allie easily found his way to the Adventure's tavern.  The place was a bit rough for his taste and very crowded.  Allie did not see any 'golden handsome warriors.' Instead he was invited over to a table by a group of mercenaries in black and silver armor.  They looked very capable and were heavily armed.  Allie spoke with their leader (name), and the terms were not agreed upon.  The group of mercenaries wanted any and all treasure in the labyrinth.  Apparently the group was known as the Elite Four.  They were known throughout Tulucia for finding and capturing criminals and escapes.  Any other unknown victims they found they typically sold to the slaver markets.

Allie sat down at the bar in despair.  This was his one chance, he knew they needed more man power. and Power in general.  His company was made up of a hafling charged with crimes against the church, forced into servitude, a normal everyday looking man who claimed to be good with a bow and tools, a red headed mildly attractive woman with no weapons or known skills, and a drunken dwarf with an axe and jeweler tools.

Just as Allie was getting up he saw a gleam of light from the far left corner.  He looked and there was the shining red and golden warrior.  The man was beautiful, just as Magenta had described.  A very large but well built man in a full set of golden armor.  How would Allie be able to convince such a worthy companion to their band of last hope.

Allie quietly and nervously approached the golden warrior.  He introduced himself, kindly asking the warrior if he wanted a drink.  The warrior politely declined the drink, but invited Allie to sit with him.  The Warrior looked into Allies eyes, Allie tried to look away, but could not, he felt warm and at peace, like all of the weight of his problems and fears were at ease.  The warrior asked him "what troubles you so?" Allie explained the kidnappings and the last ditch effort to rescue the women.  To Allie's surprise the golden warrior agreed without being asked to go with him and rescue the kidnapped women. Allie gave the golden warrior the meeting information for the next morning and bid him a good evening.  Allie was so excited he rushed out of the tavern without even asking the warrior's name.
