Err. I guess these guys aren't bandits after all. Or maybe they are but they're more interested in getting directions than robbing you. That was almost a very unfortunate misunderstanding. Well, I suppose you'll have to use your survival skills to get out of this mess. You know how to hunt, right?

>>660200
Well, shit. Looks like we got to help them out. If this is a daemon trick, i doubt your servant will be unable to at least provide /some/ amount of help.

>If these twisting woods be the work of demonkind, perhaps your companion can sense it. Take charge of this band and lead them through the woods, for the only way out... is deeper in!

..So it seems. I will rescue this collection of vagabonds from the woods, and uncover what is behind this debauchery!

>here's a chance your demon can prove her usefulness. use her powers to break through the power of the forest and get us out.

>If this is a daemon trick, i doubt your servant will be unable to at least provide /some/ amount of help.

I turn to my demon-servant, who stares curiously at the scene before her.

"DEMON!" I announce. She starts at my sudden voice. "HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO PROVE YOUR VALUE! IS IT TRUE WHAT THEY SAY? IS THERE SOMETHING UNNATURAL ABOUT THIS PLACE? USE YOUR ABILITIES TO FREE US AT ONCE!"

She stares at me for a moment, nervously, "I mean.. I don't.. I don't know if I can do anything to.. to break the spell.. There's definitely someone here though.. I can sort of feel them.. You know?"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO BREAK THE SPELL?! DO YOU NOT POSSESS DEMONIC POWERS?!"

She stares at the ground, ashamed, "I..I'm sorry.. I don't really.. I never really finished learning..."

This.. This cannot be.. Could we truly be trapped here?

I begin hacking at the trees around me, much to the surprise of my companions. However, they soon begin doing their part, cutting down thinner foliage and brush.

"So.." One of the men begins, "So the plan is to just.. Just destroy the forest? Of course! Why didn't we think of that!"

And so it goes. We cut down trees, brush, flowers, anything in our path, for quite some time, before..

"STOP! STOP IT! STOP IT!!" A high voice yells, I turn to see what appears to be a Druid, very upset, followed closely by a fairy, which tugs desperately on the dryad's arm to no avail.

"Stop killing them! What did they ever do to you!? They're just innocent plants!"

The fairy glances to us fearfully, "S-Sati! Just leave it! We can't get seen like this!! We can't beat all of them! And look at that guy! He caught that little girl! We can't take these guys, Sati!!"

It seems it was quite fortunate that I came up with such a well thought out plan, of destroying the trees. It seems the orchestrator duo of the forest have shown themselves at last. A dryad and a fairy. The reactions from the bandits are mixed. Some look on with curiosity, some with fear, and some with anger. They aren't actually demonic. Mere monsters.. Beasts.

>>660603
LET US GO, OR TASTE MY BLADE!

An explanation would be nice too.

if you wish for the plants to not be harmed then do not use them as a weapon. a battle is a battle, regardless of who the warriors are. this battle was between us and the forest.
let us leave the forest and no long trap those in it and we will stop.

Ask the girl why she would ever leave four warriors with axes stranded in the middle of a forest if she didn't want a new four-lane freeway. Or a fire.

Just barter for safe passage. Namely, THEIR safe passage. You might need supplies against your next raid.

Wonder aloud how your brother is doing.

Threaten the non-humans that you'll murder the entire forest if you keep these poor people trapped here. Add that you'll murder the shit out of them as well if they don't.

Tell them you will stop for guidance through these woods.

Ahhh.. Today turned out to be a good day. I slayed some demons.. Captured a demon.. captured some monsters.. And I'm on my way to kill even more demons! Ah what a life.. what a life.. The bandits scurry here and there, gathering their supplies for the now open road ahead. I am personally left with the decision of what to do with the two monsters that lie beneath me.. I suppose I could simply kill them, but they aren't demons, so I don't really have to..

Add them to your harem band of prisoners.

* SPARE

"Escort" them to the edge of the forest, as your "guests," and release them when you have made it out of the woods.

Recruit everyone. These bandits can help you on the raid; your muscles may be your greatest weapon, but you tend to leave yourself open to intelligent ambushes and traps. Plus, it's obvious that all the people here aren't 100% scum of the earth.

"Well I didn't even want to!" The fairy starts once more, her druid compatriot down for the count. "Damiana was the one who insisted on trapping those earlier guys, because they weren't treating nature with respect.. or.. something." The fairy looks a tad embarrassed, but stubborn nonetheless.

We travel for some time before reaching the end of the forest, and after traveling for even more of a time, we come to a halt as we reach a wide river. I turn to my guide, who has also come to a confused halt.

"I dunno.. I know this is the way. We came this way and crossed here.. I can sense.. us, I guess. I didn't even know we passed a river.. I wonder how!" Useless, as always. Damned demon!

It has become apparent that we are left with little choice here. We can either attempt to cross the river here, or travel alongside it until we find a lighter area where we can pass easier. Night is also upon us. My new compatriots look worried at the idea of crossing the deep, high current river here.

grab a tree and lay it across the river as a bridge.

Dig around the river to lighten the force of the water flow per square inch, reinforce your path with a bridge.

Can you defeat the river and make it get out of your way? We are in lands inhabited by monsters and demons, this may not be an ordinary river and therefore there may be extraordinary solutions to this problem.

>Can you defeat the river and make it get out of your way? We are in lands inhabited by monsters and demons, this may not be an ordinary river and therefore there may be extraordinary solutions to this problem.

I splash the river about a bit. Sadly, it is simple water. Nary a sentient river to be seen.

>Dig around the river to lighten the force of the water flow per square inch, reinforce your path with a bridge.

Alas! We've no shovels! I propose to my companions, that we could simply dig with our hands, but for some reason, they are unenthusiastic about the idea!!

>grab a tree and lay it across the river as a bridge.

A clever plan! But we have already traveled too far from the forest, and there are no trees nearby! The river continues to churn. I inform my companions of this clever idea, and they agree that it would have been suitable. The druid sweats a bit.

"Uh, Mister Sebastian." One of my new companions beckons my attention.

"YES MY DEAR COMRADE?"

"Before we headed your way, our group crossed this river by way of bridge. Through a town."

"WONDERFUL! IN WHICH DIRECTION DOES THIS TOWN LIE" I give him a firm pat on the back, he coughs a bit.

"Um.. West, sir. But you see, sir, this town isn't the friendliest sort, y'know? We were fine passin' through earlier.. but a guy like you? A band a crusaders might not find it as easy."

Hmmm.. It seems with further deliberation we have gained more options. This town sounds like it would be difficult to pass through peacefully as a man of God.. But perhaps that is just what they need.. The decision lingers still

Ask the druid if she knows any magic to grow a bridge.

Go downstream, the river should eventually slow down somewhere.

only demons or heretics would deny a man of god passage. if they are ether then you can beat them into submission. to the town!

>>683146
rivers get stronger as you go down stream.

Test the river yourself to see if you can wade through here.

Druids may also have magic for passing rivers or walking on top of them, but I'm not sure we want to presume overmuch on our recent prisoner's loyalty. Stupid questions: Can you find or build a boat or a raft? How did you solve this problem the last time you had it? Is there another bridge in the other direction from the bandit town maybe?

After following alongside the river for some time we reach a large shoddy looking town. The buildings around us are missing several windows and some even doors. Night has fallen upon us and clouds gather overhead.

"We're here, sir. Looks like just in time too. A bit o' rain headin' our way I reckon! I know an inn in town, maybe we could shack up for the night!" My tossle-headed compatriot says jovially. I am sure the lowlife population of this town would be thrilled to see a crusader such as I, and welcome me to stay at the inn, but I am unsure how thrilled they would be at the sight of two monsters and a ferocious demon..

Let us acquire supplies for a camp from a general goods store so that we may stay outside of town for tonight and mayhaps future nights, and not force these demons upon the goodly townsfolk.

>>683433
Go in ahead of the party and buy some cloaks to hide the monstrous shapes of your non-human prisoner/companions.

Also uh
is there an alternative to staying the night? Can we just buy some rain gear and rations, and camp somewhere further on?

I approach what appears to be a vendor, minding a portable stall in the street. Fancy!

"EXCUSE ME, GOOD SIR!!" The shopman jumps.

"ERM-Wh-What can I do for you mister.. Mister crusader!! Oh! A crusader! always lovely to see your kind around here, sir!!" The shopkeep looks around, as if he is expecting something.

"I HAVE COME TO PURCHASE SOME OF YOUR FINE GOODS. I AM IN NEED OF SOME SUPPLIES FOR A CAMP, OR AT LEAST THREE CLOAKS."

"Ah! Fine choices, sir, all fine choices I assure you! Is.. this all for you, or are you with friends?"

WHY, FOR ME OF COURSE! This is true as the others did not accompany you.

The people wearing these cloaks are not the same size as ourself, it would be a bad idea to suggest either that we are alone without friends in this place or that we're weird enough to want to buy three cloaks at once in a town we've never previously visited.

You aren't exactly the most charismatic fellow. Intimidating perhaps, but you may as well hold up a giant sign that says "SIR GULLIBLE OF LOOTLOSIA".

"I'm thinkin'.. that you might be wantin' to raise your 'ands above your 'ead! Real slowly!"

Dastards! Attempting to take advantage of a holy man! I grip my weapon tightly..

"Put that down or we'll make you like a pincushion, crusader!!"

As if those bolts could penetrate your MANLY PECS. Still, you'll go easy on them, as you want to leave someone intact to buy supplies from.

Punch him so hard in the face you are propelled out the door due to newton's third law.

Do you recognize that insignia on the crossbowman?

throw your polearm into one of the window shooters, leap into another one, helmet first. once you are on their side of the wall you can easily smash all of them.

Grab the *portable* stall and use it to block the bolts. Then move towards the archers and punch them in the face.

Grab man by nose, throw at crossbowman, pick up stall as shield, block bolts with it, then tear it into two and throw the larger half at another shooter. Keep the remaining half, Shield against bolts, tear in half and throw, then shield and blah blah blah. Repeat this process as necessary until it is a reasonable size to both shield you from bolts and be less cumbersome and liable to hit things then it is now.

Seriously, just look at that insignia, that just SCREAMS crazy sex cult.

Punch his mask in the snout to assert dominance.

now there are no distractions. remember while the other end of your weapon does not have a blade, a pole can still hurt if you get smacked with it.

This is not a duel, this is a fight for your life. The leader's muscles are a fraction of your own and he's experienced at this.

Grab his mace and wrestle for it, and while he's distracted use your leg to sweep his leg off-balance. Remember, you are the heavier opponent, so concentrate on your center of balance and focus on pushing this guy to the ground.

The cultists I did not kill are rising to their feet! They take but a moment to realize their situation, and begin toward the exits, keen on making their escape! Able to reach only one in time, I must choose who to pursue quickly!

tackle one and throw something at the other's leg so he cant hobble away.

Chase after the one on the left, use the mace to bash in the torso of the one on the right as you pass him! Leave no survivors; these guys mean to harm civilians and this isn't the time to be merciful!

Wait, old man! I still have supplies to purchase from you!

I rush towards the fiend escaping to the left, tossing the mace towards the would-be-merchant. It collides with him, knocking him through the window.

I tackle the second cultist to the ground. He yelps in pain as I come down upon him.

"GAAAAAAAAH! SHIT SHIT SHIT! GET OFF ME! GET OFF ME! I GIVE UP, I GIVE UP! JUST GET OFF ME! MY LEG!!"

Knock him out, then find as many cultists as you can. Kill if they are on the verge of escaping, capture alive if you have the advantage.

Carry them all with your PARAGON OF STRENGTH feat back to your squad, where they may be interrogated by professional torturers aided by magical experts.

roughly lift them, tear off their mask, demand answers. if they refuse the have them come meet your friends who will not be as gentle as you.

>>683989
shit, he's probably going to run off with that. Did we happen to get it enchanted with some kind of holy tracking rune or something?

PALADIN SMASH!

>>684013
that's not our weapon, so who really cares?

>Knock him out, then find as many cultists as you can.

The rest of the cultists in the building are deceased, or escaped.

>Roughly lift them, tear off their mask, demand answers.

"I DEMAND ANSWERS!!"

"Ahh! Answers to what?!"

"WHY DID YOU ATTACK ME?!"

"Because you're a crusader!! B..Boss said you were special! Had to be.. Gotten rid of!"

"YOUR BOSS?! WHO IS HE?! TELL ME!!"

"I don't know! All our identities gotta remain secret, boss said!! For situations..! For situations like this!"

"WHAT IS YOUR OBJECTIVE?! WHAT IS YOUR CULT'S GOAL, HEATHEN!?"

"To...."

"To.. stop the invasion!"

What.

Tell him that you're aware that (A) the demons are fools that will do the bidding of greater demons without even realizing that they're blindly following orders, and (B) the crusades are indeed an invasion and may result in permanent residence by the church's forces, but that (c) if this is an invasion by the church, then it is indeed a conquest featuring a strong cast of champions; so what.

But don't expect to fight an experienced warrior in his prime for the "crime" of visiting a random town to purchase supplies, and get away with it.

Take the cultist, he's willing to talk.

INVASION? WHERE INVASION? PALADIN SMASH INVASION!

you are here because the countries here literally couldn't work together to save their lives. ether the crusaders came or the demons overran the place.

Which invasion? The foul demonic one? The most holy one sanctioned by God Himself? One organised by a third party intent on profiting from the conflict between the Church and demons?

Stop speaking in riddles, wretch!

Wait. Is he saying that they're undercover crusaders?

... Why?

No! Soon, my dog of war!

>Which invasion? The foul demonic one? The most holy one sanctioned by God Himself? One organised by a third party intent on profiting from the conflict between the Church and demons?

"B-Both! All three! I don't actually know about the third one, is there a third party?!"

>Wait. Is he saying that they're undercover crusaders?

"If I am, will you let me go?"

I think that's my answer.

"LISTEN, WRETCH! I AM AWARE THAT THE DEMONS ARE FOOLS, WHO WILL DO THE BIDDING OF GREATER DEMONS, UNAWARE THEY ARE BLINDLY FOLLOWING ORDERS. AND THE CRUSADES ARE INDEED AN INVASION, DUE TO YOUR OWN COUNTRIES INABILITY TO WORK TOGETHER TO SAVE THEIR OWN LIVES!! THERE MAY VERY WELL BE, A PERMANENT HOUSING MADE FOR THE MEN OF THE CHURCH, TO STAVE OFF DEMONIC SCUM IN THE FUTURE!!"

He is quiet for awhile.

"The.. But the bulk of the demons haven't done anything wrong..! They're being tricked into coming here, and are being slaughtered because of it! We have to.. we have to stop the demonic invasion.. for their own good."

Hmmm.... That WOULD go along with what that demon child was saying..

"One last thing, before I return with you, to my allies. Do not expect, to challenge an experienced warrior in his prime, for the 'crime' of visiting a random town, with nothing but the intent to purchase supplies.. and get away with it."

"Wh-What?! You weren't scouting!!? Son of a bitch!!"

Another good day. To be a crusader. Onward to Spartame.
