A Prince's quest

It has been a few days, maybe a bit more, since I started walking with these people. A strange and varied bunch, from the a righteous squire to myself, a mere prowler.
 
At dawn, as we were waiting in an outpost, one of my travelling companions - John - brought us a message. Of course it was written, and up to Lancelot to read it to us: the Crown Prince had issued a call to arms, offering 20 golden crowns for a job in Altdorf. And extra coin if the job was good.
 
As we reached the inn, Horse and Coachman, we quickled noticed a charriot by the entrance. A smart man with money I waited silently as Lancelot paid 4 silver shillings for passage of each of our group. The coachman and his hireling announced that we would leave the next day, at morning... It did not happen so.
 
After a long night of drinking, the coachman and his hireling end up being late and we did as well. The charriot barely held everyone and not only me, but Zahara as well had to travel on the charriot's roof. At the road we came across a uncommon sight: a Beast.
 
He was man, eating at someone's corpse. Despite the Chaos in his body, I recognized him as Rolf, an old friend and thief like me. We had to kill him.
 
Trails of another group of voyagers and a promise of gold, I and my companions went after the remains of the charriot. More Beasts and demons awaited and we put them out of their misery. Upon searching the demons' victims and their belongings, we found a corpse much alike John, and coins, much more than I had ever seen or hoped for.
 
I took a few of the demons things, a crosbow and a weird ring, and we returned to the road, Altford still a few days away.
