Everyone Immidiately drew their bladed weapons, pointing swords at Damian from all directions and all areas of the tavern.

The man on the counter Looked at Damian for a decent bit of time. Taking a look at his weapons and armor, He seemed to be an adventurer or a mercenary trying to prove themselves.

But he also seemed to be able to beat that guy pretty easily. Men were outside yet they didn’t enter meaning he probably had backup.

This wasn’t a normal case of a noisemaker that could just be killed and swept under the rug, but seeing a few of his men get closer, they seemed to think it was.

"Stop. Put your weapons away." A simple command and they did as he said, begrudgingly bringing their sword back into their sheaths.

"You’re actually going to give me a chance to speak? Though this was going the other way for a moment."

Damian didn’t much care if he did have to fight, but he didn’t want to start ruckus before even meeting his employer.

Steps sounded behind him as Chase Andrew and Jasmine walked in.

"Did they listen to reason?" Damian said as her craned his head in their direction.

"No." Donny walked past him, already scanning the room for possible threats.

Eventually his eyes rest on The man near the bartender once more.

"But, seeing as how everyone here is still conscious, I assume you’re doing better in here."

The. Bigger man grabbed his more drunk lackey, bringing him close and whispering something in his ear, before pushing him away.

He barely whispered, yet that sobered his lackey right up. At first the man stopped then he continued out the back door.

"Go on then, tell us how this all started. I’m intrigued." Everyone else was not as they had watched it happen.

Donny saw Damian about to speak, a giant smirk on his face as he puffed up his chest and gassed up beating a common thug. But he had other plans.

"He beat up your friend after he threatened someone with a sword." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

He had a little smirk on his face as Donny side eyed him.

Andrew was ready to be done with the day it seemed. "Could you take us to someone who is sending out quests that you know of sir?"

The man stared a bit longer before nodding.

"Yeah, absolutely, I just sent my friend you just saw to go talk to them. Once he gets back, we’ll go."

The moment the man returned they all went to the edge of the town area. On the edge of Hawkthorne they all walked on a flat grassland, with hills occasionally passing by.

Eventually The rapid stomping of hooves rumbling in all directions as Chase looked towards The big bastard, ready to take his head off. Of course this was an ambush.

No way did someone live this far from the main town. On a hill not too far from them, Men in armor Were finally coming into view as they ran down, either mounted on horses or jumping down the hill wildly, seemingly uncaring for their own lives.

The bigger man had turned around with a smile as all of his men immidiately attempted an attack.

Multiple men tried to attack Damian and watched in shock as their weapons bounced off of his armor before he battered them.

He sent a punch towards the nearest man and caved his chest in before launching his body into his allies like a living bowling ball.

Andrew had actually gotten his mask damaged From being off guard. He quickly casted a spell and pressed down towards the floor as a small flood emerged, violently pushing away all Enemies in a bone breaking tide.

Donnie was fighting for his life, but doing a damn good job. He dodged a man coming at him with a sword, stabbing him before using his body to block an oncoming volley of arrows.

Three more men came his way and were quickly eliminated with a single slash.

"Holy fuck!"

A few men had stopped in their tracks, But Donnie moved faster than before, wiping the blood from his face.

Chase was Fighting with reckless abandon. Augmenting his blade with hellfire, One swing diced through a men before his body was reduced to ash.

looking up, he saw jasmine standing still and looking at a higher up point on the hill as four people who seemed rather powerful had joined the fight.

Chase walked close to her, He casually swatted to men attacking her with his sword, leaving their bodies in pieces. "We have actual company."

One of the women got impatient, Throwing a rather elegant looking spear at his skull. Chase dodged, Jumping back a bit, But where the spear struck, a massive cloud of dust came up.

It seemed this was the caliber of opponent needed to even threaten him now. The woman jumped up before crashing down where her spear was embedded in the floor, pulling it out before dashing at incredible speeds, aiming to attack him again.

The ther three jumped off as well, picking their targets. Donny was in trouble. The bigger man from earlier had tried to attack him, wielding a giant cleaver, Forcing him to fight him and his small bandit group at once.

Damian Was an intimidating force. Swinging his axe, Each swing of his cleaved through multiple men, leaving their bodies burned husks as they failed to block or dodge.

He cleaved upwards, Immolation spreading to the body of a man who had already been chopped in half.

As he turned, A man with a lithe slender frame approached him. "I hope to make a good impression on you sir."

Damian made A casual slash in respond only for the man dodge. The following attack had his body bending in unnatural angles. He moved in ways they should have cracked bones.

’This guy...he’s a creep.’

Just watching him move was making Damian shiver.
