"Whether you're an enemy or not remains to be seen...And I'm not interested in being the one to find out." The captain growled, reaching back to nab handcuffs from her pack as she would begin heading towards you.

"Now hold on a moment there, Captain." Jocelyn called out, giving the armored woman a quick pull on the shoulder. "Didn't you hear the guy? He said he wants to help pay off the debt..." The mayor pulled off her hat and slowly placed it against her chest, walking towards you calmly and reaching out with an open hand, as a way to greet you and to also pull you off the grain that had softened up your fall.
"M-Mayor!"
"Chill out, he's unarmed...What is he gonna do, throw grain on my face?" The woman rolled her eyes, oblivious to your magic, it'd seem. "Still, you seem like you're quite well built...And, though unarmed, you do have a shield there...And plenty of armor. I'm gonna guess you know how to handle yourself in a fight, am I right, or am I wrong?"
"Mayor, you can't possibly be proposing that-" Captain Ironheart quieted down as the mayor dismissively waved her hand at her.
"Maybe there's another way you could help us out. We've recently been having issues with some brigands who have been bothering us. Captain Ironheart here has been organizing a militia but..."
"Folks here are just farmers...We at most just manage to fend them off and we keep getting wounded..." The captain admitted. "But I've already asked for reinforcements from the capital, we just need to-"
"Wait yes, I know, but why wait when we could get some help right now?" The mayor questioned, raising a brow at the captain before she turned to you, flashing a big smile. "So, what say you? I'm sure we can provide you with some kind of weapon, if that's what you need. Just having a beefy frontline man like yourself might be enough to give those brigands a bit more trouble, don't you think? Heck, we might even be able to get rid of them, if we're lucky."
"That's a bit of a stretch, Mayor. He's unarmed and we don't exactly have any lethal weapons here except my own. Unless you're planning on raiding their camp with pitchforks." The mayor rubbed her chin in thought, then shrugged. "Ah well, we'll cross that bridge when we get over it...So...Uram, right? What say you, interested in helping us out for a while, at least until the capital reinforcements show up? If you can help us keep folks safe until then, I'll consider your debt paid in full. You just gotta stay there and look scary, you can manage that, right?"
Zorc + MulkSpoiler (click to show/hide):
"...New here, huh...?" Vantas mumbled, examining both Mulk and Zorc, once he revealed himself, which caused a bit of a kneejerk reaction from Eleon and Vaz as they seemed to prepare to fight, but quickly got simmered down by Vantas. The leader elf was taking a moment to measure his words, "How do I put this..." he pondered for a moment. While he did, the blonde elven archer, Eleon, took a few measured steps closer to Zorc, glaring down at you in confusion. "...Huh...Way smaller than your friend, aren't you...?" He grumbled, before glancing at your weapons, looking quizzically at both your revolvers and your hand saws, as much as he could, at least. "...The heck are these? That's the weirdest looking katar I've ever seen...And how the exactly do you intend to fight with those...Pipes...You're not going to smack people with them, are you? They don't look very sturdy."
Vantas finally sighed, and began his explanation. "Well, I'll start simple then. Me and my friends are...On the run, so to speak. The Veelasar are...Elves, like us, but they're...Uhm...Bandits, you could say." The elf concluded, slapping his hands together calmly. "We've been running away from them for a few days now, they're a tenacious bunch...You see, me and my friends here, we're escorting some goods, between the elven cities...Headed for another country at the moment, really. I guess you could see as...Traders." Eleon glanced over at Vaz who, glanced back at Eleon, then both glanced at Vantas himself. "...I mean, that's one way of putting it." Eleon mumbled, before Vantas signalled him to quiet down.
"If you could assist us, even if by only delaying them until we could make some distance, we would be...Very, very grateful." The elf stated, slowly bowing his head towards the two of you. "And we'd kindly repay you, for your generosity of course, our "goods" are limited but we'd be more than willing to take some lowered profit if it meant keeping our lives, yes?"
Something about this situation felt a bit...Off. Then again, it's not like you knew much about Lozze or elven society to make an educated guess as to the full story, regardless.
GuborSpoiler (click to show/hide):
Lea seemed to ease up a bit, letting out a long relaxed sigh after you joyfully had the fish. "Well I'm glad you like it so much. Though uh, usually you don't eat with bone and everything...That stuff can sting your mouth a bit." She was silent for a little while. "...You're...Not actually that dangerous, are you?" She questioned out loud, partly actually asking, partly seemingly wondering out aloud herself.
"LEA!" You heard off in the distance as the human from earlier, Ted, called out. "I GOT HELP!" He announced, and besides him was a small elven girl getting dragged along by her wrist. Lea looked over, was silent for a bit, then slowly face palmed. "YOU GOT MIA?! WHAT THE HECK WOULD YOU EXPECT HER TO DO?! ANYWAYS, GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE."
"It's...Not dangerous?" Ted questioned, letting go of the supposed Mia, who seemed very confused about all that was going on.
...
Skip a few minutes later, you're being offered some more salmon, this time, Lea is cutting it open with a small knife and removed most of the bones and such for you to eat it up. Lea, Ted and this new Mia have all introduced themselves properly and seem a lot more relaxed being around you, though they still know very little about you save from what you just told Lea, you got to know a little bit about them, apparently, the three lived together in a small shack just along the shore, you were nearby some kind of "fishing village" and fishing consisted of catching fish...Like the one you were eating now! Lea and Ted were natives, while Mia apparently was staying with them for her "studies" or something, whatever she was studying, something about the sea wildlife or something. Mia tilted her head to the side slightly. "...He's...Definitely not an elf dude, he looks more like an ogre or a troll, if anything...And I've never heard of any magic that made portals like that...At least not from what I studied." The small elf girl stated, shrugging her shoulders before she turned to you. Despite being shorter than the other two humans, she sure seemed to stand with much more confidence than them. "So uh, Gubor, right?" The elf questioned, slowly walking up a bit closer to you. "You mentioned coming here through a portal...But I don't exactly picture you as the magical type, no offense." She stated, crossing her arms.
"Regardless of who you are, I feel like you probably shouldn't hang around here...You said you left your home, right? You didn't step through that "portal" accidentally. Was there anyone else with you? Do you suppose they could be somewhere in the sea? We can't just...Have you here...You'd probably raise panic with the other fishermen...If not worse." She mumbled, glancing over at the vast expanses of water behind you. "...Though I don't suppose you exactly have a place to stay, either."
Ted shrugged his arms. "I'd offer but I don't think he'd fit through the front door, honestly..."
"Everyone would see him before we even got to our home, Ted, don't be stupid..." His sister rolled her eyes.
"...He could hang out at my grotto, I suppose...Plenty of space there and no one would see him...As long as he doesn't touch my lab equipment." She slowly turned to you. "So...What do you say, big guy?"

"Ooohhh, now that's a finisher, folks!"
As the chair smashed against the bandit's face, blood and teeth indeed did splatter from his mouth as he was sent flying backwards, his hood flying off his head as the bandit crumpled into a broken, beaten form in the middle of the arena. Finally, you dragged your defeated opponent to the ropes and began to adjust him so that'd he fit there perfectly and be ready for the taking, as you claimed your first victory.
"Wh-...What are you doing?!" The bandit leader whimpered in a panic. "H-Hey, wait a second there! No!" The rest of the crew of the bandit stared at the scene in utter horror as you violated their boss right then and there, in front of all of them, the goblin referee seemed unfazed, after all, this wasn't such a strange sight for him, really. "And so the fight is concluded folks...With a final display of might, virility and pure, true masculinity from our beloved Savage here." He stated, raising his hand towards you and nodding slowly, as if re-affirming himself with his own words.
Upon your next words, all the bandits seemed to promptly be up for giving up right then and there, not wanting ANY of that of what they had just seen to possibly happen to them. You quickly scanned over your new "fans", as previously mentioned, there were about a dozen of them, eight men and four women, which you hadn't been able to tell apart earlier because of the bulky looking armor coupled with the helmets they had been wearing, though, now that you got a better look at their faces, some seemed a bit more feminine than the rest...Though to be fair, given how orcs usually are, all of them humans looked kind of girlies to you.
Regardless, the camp was yours...
"N-No, S-Savage...Sir...Waaghcho..." One of the bandits quickly announced. "We're uh...We're with you! I am, at least! Right guys...?"
"No no, yeah, fuck that guy, green man is the new boss."
"I mean yeah sure, what the fuck."
"Hey as long as I don't have to go through that shit, I'm good."
...
Right, loyal enough, they seemed...For now, at least.
"So uh...Boss." One of the brigands nervously approached you, tilting his head towards the bandit leader, who was still tied up on the ropes and dripping your seed from his abused rear, he apparently had passed out a little bit ago. "...What do we do with him?"
LynixSpoiler (click to show/hide):
"Why yes! Orcish blood was highly adaptive to different mixtures...Ogres, humans, elves, gnomes...Did you know that some theorize your species came from mixing orc and gnome blood...You don't even know what a gnome is, do you? Ah well, whatever..." He shrugged his shoulders and squeezed his hands firmly around his staff, aiming it up at your cage, a beam of light suddenly fired from it and your reflexively covered, though you soon discovered that the beam was not aimed at you, but rather at the cage, as it was now enveloped in what appeared to be some kind of blue magical energy as its position followed the movements of the staff.
"Lucky for you, I know JUST thing we can use...!" He announced, sounding all giddy as he began pulling you along beside him, still stuck in your cage, as his staff pulled your prison over as he walked. "So, originally, I only thought I'd ever use him as a bodyguard but...With you here, man! What a stroke of luck! Now, while I'd love to make my experiments more...Ahem...Hands on. I don't think I'd be comfortable putting my genitals anywhere near you...No offense, of course, but you're a bit...Hostile." Slowly, Lutthe led you down a long, narrow staircase, you saw yourself passing several of the towers floors, each one dotted with a different sort of room, though all looking equally alien to you, before he finally arrived at the front door, swinging it open and revealing the open outdoors outside, the light shone through your bars and breeze wafted against your skin...So this was Lozze...Too bad you couldn't bask in it properly, yet, at least.
It was then you noticed, a large shadow forming as you were being carried about, you were approaching some kind of giant boulder or something, with straps of metal attached to it and-
Wait.
It wasn't a boulder.
http://media.indiedb.com/images/games/1/15/14944/Ogre.PNGThe massive creature stood proudly at six meters of height, its large, lanky arms laying down by its sides. Covered in straps of leather and plate, you looked up to notice one thing which stood out quite a bit from the rest of the creature's ensemble. A large, silver device strapped around his neck, tight as a choker, with blue shimmering runes glinting around it. "Oi! Ogre!" The device suddenly seemed to let out a 'bzzt' as the ogre got himself up from the ground with a pained grumble, slowly turning to face both Lutthe as well as yourself. "I got a job for you!" He announced gladly, slowly hovering your cage over closer to him. "Can you uh...Impregnate this goblin for me?"
The ogre stared at you for a moment but then his collar beeped again, and let out another zap, as you were allowed closer, you could see the ogre's skin seemed burnt and bruised around the place where the collar was. With a grumble, he reached into the cage, the metal door popped open with Lutthe's magic but just as it did, the ogre's massive hand reached inside of it to nab you!
Roll(2d12)
8,7 -> 8
With a single, well time lunge, you slid under the ogre's hands just in time, landing safely on the dirt below. Glancing up, the ogre was puzzled, looking at his own hand and wondering why you weren't in it. Lutthe swiftly tossed your cage aside and shook his head, disappointed. "Ugh! No, you butterfingers! You missed her! There, on the floor! Grab her!" He ordered, the orc getting zapped once more before he glanced down to finally see you, preparing to reach over to attempt to grab you once more...
