Chapter 15

Lucian suspected that Darrius was going through his ale too quickly. It was free at the lodge of course - the Company wanted everyone to start the Quest in a good mood - but there was no need to overdo it. Perhaps not everyone found maps and logistics as exciting as Lucian did, but Darrius was definitely starting to sway.

‘It shouldn’t be a problem to stay ahead of Moxar after the cave, so we'll have a good night’s sleep at Mounthold,’ Lucian said cheerily. ‘Several weeks travel on the great road shouldn’t be an issue, and then next up—'

‘Bandits!’ Khleb interrupted with a smile, knowing this was his big task on the Quest.

‘That’s right. And this is all you.’ Lucian looked at Khleb, doubting the man could be relied upon. But the bandit camp was the only reason they needed a thief. On the plus side, he would be a good scapegoat for any nasty jobs. Lucian had already labelled such jobs as “Khleb work” in his head.

‘Of course we'll all be there to help if things go wrong, but we'll be holding back and letting you practice your craft.’

Khleb shrugged noncommittally, infusing Lucian with a lack of confidence. He pressed on regardless, addressing the whole team. ‘The key here is for Khleb to get in and out. This is all him. The rest of us don’t need to be anywhere near the bandit camp. It will be crawling with murderers and thieves—’

‘Just like Khleb!’ Darrius joked.

‘So it is vital not to get caught. We shouldn’t even be seen. We’ll be like whispers in the night. Shadows.’
