《Aris Cretu》Chapter 4: Save the Beer!

"I'd prefer to go after the rats, but I'll defer to your judgement miss."
Riben leans back, watching the scene.
Aflia looks at you. "Oh? Why's that?"
You shrug. "I may not be the most learned man, but every soldier knows about grey oozes. They eat metal, right off your sword or off your body. With all of my war-gear being metal, and without the coin to replace all of it, that can be a real problem."
Aflia grins. "Nice dodge. What I meant was, why let me decide?"
Because Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned! "If we're working together, then best to be partners from the beginning."
Alfia nods, accepting your answer. "But wouldn't the grey ooze be a bigger problem? Why not deal with it first?"
"How many taverns does Old Man Berkin supply? And how many people visit those taverns and drink his beer every day?"
"Ooooooh."
"Rats it is then?"
Aflia shudders, but nods. "I don't like rats, but that does seem to be the more pressing problem."
You turn back to Riben. "But is it just regular old rats, or..."
Riben nods again. "Spotted that, did you? Yeah, It's big rats."
Aflia shudders. "Eew! Eew, eew, eew!"
You turn to look at her. "Why are you grossed out by rats? I'd have thought you would have to cut up one or something while you were at the wizard's tower learning how to spell-sling."
Afllia shudders again. "Sorcerer, not wizard. And the headmaster... wasn't fond of Tieflings. So I got the basement quarters, which had a rat problem. Kept waking up with them running across my feet or tail."
"Sounds like we need to pay this headmaster a visit, leave him a lingering prank or something."

Aflia grins. "Already done. He had this big collection of scrolls, all neatly stacked and sorted. So I swapped about a third of them around. He probably spent a month fixing it, if he's even noticed yet!"
The three of you share a laugh at that, and some other humorous stories from your pasts, but soon enough it's time to get going to Old Man Berkin's Brewery.

The Nek'var Empire marches across the stars. Their ruthless campaign to purge all life from the galaxy has crushed a thousand years of peace. Fires rage in cities all across the Galactic Union. Their grand armies have been crushed, cities conquered. Nothing stands between a sweeping Nek'var victory but the battered remnants of a mauled fleet. If they fall, the galaxy falls with them. Meanwhile, humanity is an unknown power emerging from their little speck of space when they are inexplicably attacked by a powerful alien fleet, forcing the ever squabbling nations of Sol to form a grudging alliance in the face of annihilation. Corporal Erik Shields finds himself far from home, embroiled in a life or death struggle on the surface of a colony world known as MX-01, battling for humanity's future against a seemingly unstoppable force. But there is a glimmer of hope when Fleet engineers develop a miniaturized reactor core capable of fully realizing the power armor program's vast potential and a desperate mission is cobbled together to deploy the newly formed Armor Corps to the surface in hopes of defeating the enemy invasion. This is a tale of defiance in the face of annihilation, the soul-crushing horror of interstellar war, and the death of dreams.
