Name: Geoffrey Noah
Nicknames: Geoff
Species: Cinnamon Black Bear
Weight: 300 lbs.
Height: 5'7
Appearance: Reddish-brown; tan muzzle and rounded eyebrows; dark brown around muzzle, down neck and belly, inner arms and legs and entire forearms; tan crescent moon shape on the chest with reddish-brown bordering the top; brown eyes.
Personality: Introverted, easily distracted, clumsy, defensive, self-deprecating, creative, artistic, protective.
Clothing/armor:
-Normal-- Brown tunic, black trousers, fur-lined cloak, orange crystal necklace.
-Mage-- Black and dark grey robes.
Weapons: Bronze sword
Abilities:
Geoff is a novice mage who uses a form of spirit/aura magic which depletes stamina and causes other effects. His magic requires a lot of focus and a balance of emotion to cast properly. Much of his spells are not offensive, and due to learning a wide range of spells instead of focusing on a few, they are not very strong.
Invisibility-- His silhouette can be faintly seen if looked at hard enough. Can be spread to held objects at an extra cost of energy.
Healing-- Can heal minor injuries. Works better on himself and people he is emotionally close to.
Propulsion-- Shoots a force that thrusts him in a direction, can also be used to push objects.
Force Shield-- Can destroy or lessen the impact of an incoming spell, depending on how strong it is. The shield can sometimes absorb a portion of the energy from the spell, energizing him slightly.
Stun-- requires physical contact, doesn't do much damage if at all.
Heat/Ignite-- Heats or sets objects on fire. Can also throw fireballs. This makes his body temperature gradually cooler with each use.
Cool/Freeze-- cools or freezes objects, but this is harder to use on living creatures. This makes his body temperature gradually hotter with each use.
Electricity-- Shooting bolts of electricity. Gradually cools his body temperature, but may also make him a little jittery.
Occupation: None
Extra: Currently a vagabond.

Clothing/armor:
-Mage-- Robes, usually red, though is looking into getting black robes.
Weapons: Staff
Abilities:
Very limited, Grunan has a standard spellbook with some weak spells in it, his success with them has been limited however. He has recently been looking for ways to augment his powers, his search is taking him to dark places.
--List of current spells (will grow)
---Bolt - Short ranged lighting bolt, for stunning a single opponent
---Ghost sounds/minor illusion - a set of spells that allow Grunan to produce (unconvincing) illusion objects and sounds. Require concentration to maintain.
---Burning hands - Burns a large area in front of Grunan, does not do great damage and is mostly useful for clearing rats.
---Magehand - Lift small objects with the mind
---Spark - Starts a fire.
All spells tire Grunan, and are fairly weak.

(We shall start)
Zaida was perched on a tree her tail hanging down and swaying side to side like a snake. It was a quarter moon, clouds covered the sky and mist covered the floor. The goddess hummed her glowing eyes looking off into the distance as she was deep in thought. 'Of course they send me to this pathetic realms with mortals...' She thought, her paws into fist loosened up, Zaida with closed eyes gave a small sigh and sat on the branch looking at the village.
-
A snake enters a nearby village, wearing dark red robes, and carrying a staff (a long wooden stick, not enchanted at all). He had been walking a long time, and immediately seeks an inn or tavern. He stumbles into one. 'The horse and stead' and immediately heads to talk to the bartender. It was hard to see him under his robes, all a casual observer would make out is his two yellow serpent eyes, and the end of his tail poking out behind him. Those up close would also see his scaly hands.
-
Acon walked slowly along a narrow path, talking to an alarming amount of cockroaches crawling over her arms. She laughed at something they said and nodded in agreement.
-
*Red was on a branch,overlooking a path*
-
Jumping off the tree she landed to the floor feeling a crack a big beneath her from the impact. "Now let's see" she looked at the village just ahead and began to walk. Zaida standing tall (or she thought, but she's short so...yea) her head high, Mist escaping her nostrils
-
*Red lands on the ground,grabbing a random potion*
-
The serpent paid for his room, had a single drink, and then heads to his room to sleep.
-
*the dragoness wakes with a start, jolting upright with a gasp before realizing it was just a dream. She gets out of bed and decides to go down to the riverside to refill her herb supply and water*
-
The snake lies on his back. Still awake, staring at the ceiling. Deep in thought.

ANOTHER!
*he said to the bar tender, smashing his flask down on the side*
-
Arriving at the village she scanned the area with her glowing eyes. Entering the pub she hugged walking to an empty booth and sitting down
-
The serpent shuts his eyes. He felt power here. More powerful than him... this made him angry.
-
A hooded figure walked into the tavern and looked around at all of the patron. He rolled his eyes and made his way to the bar raising a hand and gesturing for the innkeeper to come tend to him. He slammed some coins onto the counter. "I need a place to sleep." The barkeep nodded and gestured upstairs. "Third on the left." Maxwell glanced over at Setcho.
-
-setcho
*was laughing, he had one of those loud, noticeable, jolly laughs and was enjoying himself. everyone around him seemed to like him and was very popular with the locals*
-
Maxwell stared at Setcho he shook his head and tutted. He stepped away from the bar and started to make his way towards the steps to the rooms upstairs. He wanted to avoid any unnecessary contact with others.
-
Grunan moves over to the door to listen to Maxwell pass. Power... He sensed it...
He was tempted to greet the newcomer, but could not come up with a good excuse.
-
Maxwell heard Grunan move inside his room. He pressed up to the door himself and spoke. "Have you decided to take an interest in me or are you merely paranoid about ever single passerby?"
-
Grunan grins. "You have good ears." He states simply. "And I guess a bit of both."
-
Recovering her drink she sat up in the booth taking a sip of her wine. Setting the glass down gently she took out a book beginning to read.
-
-setcho
DRINKS FOR EVERYONE!
*as the tavern cheered, drinks being toasted*
-
Maxwell smiled widely. "Indeed, I do. Now why exactly have you taken an interest in me? Oh, and are we gonna have this conversation with a door between us? If so how very extraordinary."
-
The serpent opens the door. "I can sense you. Its as simple as that. I am Grunan. And you are?"
-
A poor bear shyly stepped into the tavern. His clothes were worn and dirty from living out in the elements for some time. The sudden cheers hit his ears, knocking them back against his head.
-
-setcho
*a young boy carrying a tray of flasks handed one to the bear*
HAHA YES MY FRIENDS!
*drinking another flask*
-
"I am Maxwell. You can sense me huh? So you're some kind of mage. Interesting." He looked Grunan up and down observing him. "You see young for your kind of mage."
-
The bear took the flask, a little confused. "Th-thank you..."
He took a seat on the floor, staring down at the flask. He wasn't much of a fan of the drink, but it was free, so he was still grateful. He didn't expect to be included. Usually people treated him like a prop in the background.
-
"I am still growing in power." Grunan states. "Someday the world will know and fear me." Grunan says, grinning, but not necessarily joking. "You however I sense are full of magic. I admit I am a little jealous."
-
-setcho
*moved his way to the back of the tavern, next to the door for some air, noticing the bear*
you new here?
*grinning down at him*
-
"I'm from a place where everyone embraces their magical potential. Some more...Enthusiastically than others. Some just don't want to try and achieve their full potential it seems. However you, you seem to have your sights set on a goal. An unrealistic one albeit but that's still a goal." Maxwell lowered his hood, revealing his face with it's dull green eyes and light blue ears.
-
The bear gazed up at the lion. Why was someone of such esteem paying attention to a vagabond like him?
"Y-yeah," he replied softly, slightly intimidated.
-
"No goal is unattainable." Grunan states. "You have magic? can you show me?"
-
-setcho
im sure theres much to offer for you here, keep in line and you'll do just fine. cheers!
*clinking cups with him*
-
The bear smiled. "Thank you, sir."
-
-setcho
call me setcho, i didnt catch your name what was it?
*drinking up*
-
"Indeed I could if you really want me to. I always love the chance to show off just a little. What's the point in learning a skill if you don't ever take the chance to impress other's with it. Do you have a small blade, preferably a knife?"
-
"Geoffrey," the bear replied. He took a sip of his drink.
-
-setcho
well its nice to meet you
*patting his back roughly but friendly*
-
Grunan passes Maxwell a jagged knife, it looks like something an evil priest would use.
-
Maxwell took the jagged knife. "Looks archaic. How appropriate." He nicked his index finger with the knife. A dollop of blood appeared on the finger and then started to slowly raise into the air before suddenly flying into the door and spattering against it. "Now imagine stuff like that but on a bigger scale and you have the general idea of what I can do."
-
Grunan watches with interest. "Blood... Necromancy?"
-
"Necromancy? No. I don't specialise in raising the dead. I do plan to...dabble a little in the future perhaps in the pursuit of knowledge but besides that it doesn't grab my interest for some reason."
-
Geoffrey blinked in surprise as his back was pat, but had a grin on his face.
"Y-you too,"
Setcho picked up his spirits somewhat, and he really needed that.
-
-setcho
*hiccuped*
i better hit they hay, i hope to see you around
*walking towards a door way as the tavern started to empty*
-
"Funny. Its why I came here. I am glad you do not shun such things though."
-
"Such things are to be expected when people start to meddle with magic. Where I come from certain things are taboo. That is one of them, but I don't let such things restrict the way I think about the world or what I may do in the future." Maxwell glanced at the small blood spatter on the door. "That may not come off, let's not mention how it got there to the innkeeper.
-
Grunan moves over, he waves his hand and the blood starts to come off. "I can clean it myself."
-
Maxwell smiled widely. "Well then, guess there's nothing to worry about after all is there. Anyway, I am exhausted and must call it a night. Perhaps we could talk more in the morning if we see each other?"
-
Geoffrey felt more exposed as the tavern customers dwindled, and he sat huddled against the wall, continuing sipping his drink, grimacing as the bitter liquid flowed down into his empty belly. Knowing he wouldn't be able to handle it well, he figured it would be a good idea to find a safe place to rest for the night, preferably away from eyesight. He would rent a room if he had the coin.
-
Grunan nods. "we will talk tomorrow" He gestures for Maxwell to leave, then goes to bed.
-
-setcho
*passed Grunan and maxwell*
evening gents
*going to his room*
-
Zaida's claw in the one swirled around making the dark red wine swirl. The hybrid rested her head down on the table her eyes closed breathing lightly and watched as her drinker turned darker.
-
Maxwell closed the door as he stepped away. "Evening, sir." He headed to his room and flopped into the bed.
-
*Red was watching a random night convoy*
-
-setcho
*took of his armour and laid on his bed in a intoxicated manner and fell asleep*
-
*she chuckles to herself as she hears three cheers and commotion coming from the bar, shaking her head, wishing she could bring herself to join the fun. Instead she finished picking her herbs and brings the basket back to her littlehouse in which she made her living*
-
Maxwell stared at the ceiling as he waits for sleep to claim him. He never found it easy to sleep. Too active a mind, too many thoughts and things to wonder about.
-
Geoff set the empty flask down on the floor and forced himself to his feet, pushing up against the wall. He stepped out of the tavern, rubbing his eye tiredly as he wandered the street, looking for a place curl up in.
-
*looks over and notices the unstable bear, calls out* um, sir? Are you alright?
-
Geoffrey looked up at the dragon. He was holding himself together well enough at the moment, though he looked worse than he was; he already walked with a slight limp due to falling off a ledge a couple days ago.
"U-uh, yeah..."
-
*notices his limp* do you need a place to stay for the night? I could patch up your leg if you want
-
One of her paws carving into the wooden table. Zaida walked filling her glass, lights began to flicker until exiting the pub. "Enough of that, nothing but drunk slobs in there" she huffed
-
Geoffrey was surprised by the offer.
"Uh, um--"
He wasn't completely sure if he should accept. He was growing paranoid in his condition, and such kindness seemed so unusual, there just had to be something else behind it. Maybe she was going to steal his bag while he was sleeping. Maybe she was a malicious witch wanting to harvest his organs for potions. Or, or...
All this thinking was enough to make his decision.
"I-I, I'll be fine, th-thank you..."
He quickened his pace away from the house. He half-expected her to realize her prey was escaping and pounce over to drag him back. His more logical side, however, informed him that this was a ridiculous conclusion to jump to. Either way, he aimed to find a place to stay before he does something stupid.

Name: Alistair
Nicknames: Ali, Al
Age: Unspecified
Species: Smilodon Populator
Weight: 545kg
Height: 1.5 meters at shoulder
Appearance: Refer to avi
Personality: Playful, determined, friendly, tough, caring.
Clothing/armor: Refer to picture, excluding crown.
Weapons: Claws, teeth
Outside the pub was a large, maned, saber cat; lapping from the water trough outside the pub. The water sloshed as he drank, once he lifted his head from the container his chin dripped with ice cold water. Alistair moved about the town quietly, giving his hello's to passerby until he noticed Geoff.
Alistair walked up behind him and nudged the bear gently, "Hello?" The large feline did mean well although his appearance could have said otherwise since the shade of blue he was wearing was normally only worn by royalty.
-
Geoffrey's eyes widened for a moment as he noticed the color. This saber cat was clearly no commoner, and this was a very, very bad time to catch the eye of such a character. He tried to stand as normal as possible. "Uh, good evening, s-sir," he replied, unsure of who exactly the feline was. He only recently arrived in the city.
-
Alistair's ears went from pointing backward to facing forward, interested in the bear, "Seems you're limping." An idea popped into his head, "Do you need a place to stay?"
-
Oh lord, not this again.
"Uh-uh-um..."
Geoff clenched his teeth and exhaled. "... Y-yeah..."
-
Motioning to his back, he stood still; waiting for the bear to get on, "Well, I do have a home not far from here. At least I don't think its far."
-
Geoff hesitated before carefully hopping on the saber cat's back.
"O-okay..."
He had no idea why he was accepting this. If the dragon was planning anything, this had to be much worse.
-
*lays ears back and nods before bidding him a safe and good night, closes the door behind her and begins hanging up the herbs to dry, humming and swaying as she works*
-
Beginning to sprinkle in the village she was at (and everyone else i think) Zaida sat under a patio covering of a closed shop, watching the clouds. "Beautiful" she spoke. The hybrid began to Look around. 'Although some shelter would be good, I do need rest' she spoke in her mind
-
Alistair started to move once the bear was on his back, carrying the bear around with little to no effort, "So.. Where do you come from?"
-
*finishes hanging and decides I should sweep, opens the door and sweeps the dirt out, noticing the mysterious stranger under the patio* Hello? Are you ok?
-
"Nn--nowhere, really," Geoffrey replied. He had been wandering the land for some time now, and he preferred to be disconnected from his hometown.
-
"Hm, don't worry about it. I live up there, on the mountain." He motioned with his head to the rather large house on the mountainside.
-
Zaida covered from head to toe in armor, a hood darkness seen as a smoke casting over her face, and her mouth and nostrils covered by a lower mask. Though Her glowing eyes clearly visible darted to the fur that had hollered to her. "Yes, fine" she said calmly but slightly muffled.
-
Geoffrey gaped in awe at the house. The saber cat certainly was royalty. Why was he being so nice to him?
-
*tilts her head and sets her broom down, brushing her hands off on a towel* you sure? It's awfully late *sets the cloth down* I was just about to make something to eat actually, would you care to join me? If you're traveling you'd need your energy
-
The saber picked up a bit of speed, needing the momentum to make it up the path that lead to his house.
-
Zaida was silent thinking 'I haven't ate for days, would do some good' before speaking. "I suppose so" she said in a soothing voice. Standing up and walking over to her.
-
*smiles warmly and welcomes her inside, closing the door behind us and walks over to the little kettle stove* how does some rosemary chicken sound? The butcher place down the way is great and sells the freshest meat
-
Geoffrey held on tight to the saber, the speed scaring him more than it normally would.
-
"Anything is fine" she said plainly as her eyes scanned the inside of the house. Finally pulling her hood down showing the hybrid wearing a mask a scar over her left brow and scar on her lower lip, although she looked very similar.
-
Alistair finally made it to the door, hooking one of his maxillary teeth on the hanging handle; proceeding to pull the door open. It wasn't excessively extravagant, it had its little luxuries; but other than that it was the average house.
-
*starts cooking, humming softly as I go* So, where are you from stranger? If you don't mind my asking
-
It didn't take a whole lot of show to impress Geoffrey, given it was far better than the leaky, rotten huts he'd often take refuge in.
"Nice place," he remarked. He carefully slid off the saber's back and explored.
-
"I would but it's far to confusing, though I can say it's no where around here, forbidden..." The hybrid said in a soothing tone walking to the table and sitting down, still studying the house a bit.
-
Alistair chuckled a bit, "And thankfully its feral accessible." The saber moved toward the ice box in which he kept his wrapped meats, exhaling softly, "Getting low.."
-
*nods and smiles* you must have been traveling an awful long time *grabs some sprigs of rosemary* I don't know if I'd be able to do that. I suppose I'm just too shy and vulnerable *chuckles softly* maybe if I had a partner to keep me going but listen to me rambling on and on, where are my manners? I haven't even asked you your name
*the walls of the cozy little house are lined with shelves full of various sized jars and vials filled with dried herbs, gels, liquids and other miscellaneous things. Past the kitchen is a little study and a spiral staircase that leads to a small bedroom. Although the house is packed with things, its all oddly organized*
-
Geoffrey wanted to examine the whole place, but he was too tired. He plopped down to rest, but ended up drifting off to sleep.
-
"You can Just call me Z, that will be fine, for now at least" she responded quietly. "And what is yours?" She asked her voice muffled by the mask. Zaida looked over to her waiting for an answer.
-
Alistair slipped out of his royal attire, resting on a woolen mat; which could be assumed to be his bed.
-
*smiles* Ok Z, nice to meet you, I'm Willow *brings over the rosemary seasoned chicken that's been cut into large pieces, and sets the table, asking* Would you like some tea?
-
"Nice to meet you willow, and tea would be nice" she said giving a small nod. Grabbing a fork, and a knife to cut. She began to cut some of the seasoned chicken slices, Taking bites.
-
*smiles and puts a kettle on the stove, sitting down and taking 2 slices and begins eating*
-
Zaida was silent as she ate, enjoying the meal. The hybrid cutting the large slices to eat the smaller pieces, patting her mouth lightly with a napkin.
-
*grabs the whistling kettle off the stove and gets two cups, pouring the honey colored ginger tea into each cup and sitting back down, handing one cup to Z* any sweetener?
-
"Yes, please" she responded politely to willow finally finishing the last of her meal. "The chicken was delicious" she said in a soothing patting the napkin on her black lips
-
*smiles and sets down a jar of sugar and a bottle of honey* thank you dear, it was my mothers recipe *adds some honey to my cup and stirs it before sipping some of it, sitting back in my chair* will you be staying in town then or just moving through?
-
-setcho
*yawned loudly which almost turned into a roar*
time to go
*he suited up and exited his room*
-
Geoffrey woke up feeling better, and lay on the floor for a while. Why was this apparently royal figure treating him so well? Why were so many people showing him so much kindness here? He didn't deserve all this. He was just a poor fool spending his days wandering the roads and streets. He had no worth, which is why he left his life of decent living for one of poverty. He was an insignificant ant to be stomped on, if anything. But here he was, singled out of the crowd of the more capable poor. Why him?
Now that he was rested, the bear felt it was time to leave, but his belly ached for food. The saber cat was sleeping. Did he dare steal from royalty?
He quietly stepped into the kitchen. Seeing the icebox, he checked what was inside: meat, and apparently not a whole lot of it. He couldn't steal that. It would be too obvious, and it would be awfully rude to steal from someone who just helped him. He shook his head. He had to try hunting and gathering for now.
He wrote a 'thank you' note for the saber before sneaking out from the house and made his way near town.
-
((Is it too late to join?))
-
Maxwell sat up in his bed, he yawned loudly. "What little sleep for busy minds." He smiled slightly and stretched as he got out of his bed, putting his robes back on and making his way out of his room and down the stairs to the tavern. He glanced around at all the patrons as he raised his hood. You can always find the most interesting of all the riffraff in a place like this. I wonder who might reside in this particular inn.
-
-setcho
*puts on his helm and tips the bar tender*
thank you good sir
*he walks out side and mounts his white steed*
-
Grunan got out of bed, and got ready to finish his journey. He had come a long way to find his goal, and now it was so close....
-
"Depends, though I'm positive I'll be staying in town for now" she say setting the napkin down. Grabbed the tea cup gently she took a sip then setting her cup down on the small saucer it came with.
-
((Er...I'm gonna just put a character sheet down. Feel free to say no.))

-
Grunan got dressed had a quick breakfast, and then started to walk towards the church, grinning to himself as he walks, he was more than a little excited.
-
Geoffrey searched around in the trees outside town. He found a blackberry bush and plucked them happily, popping the berries directly into his mouth.
-
Maxwell decided to finally leave the inn, gently pushing his way past some of the patrons. Once he was outside he took in a deep breathe of fresh air. It was time to get acquainted with his new surroundings.
-
Grunan enters the church, and heads for the crypt. He walks with certainty.
-
*Red drops infront of the Knight convoy*
-
After his meal of berries, Geoffrey moved back into town to explore. He saw a snake heading toward a church, and he decided to follow him. He wasn't the religious type, but he still found such a place interesting.
-
Ray wandered into town, the small anvil on his hip clinking lightly against the armor he wore. He looked around, and smiled, before setting the anvil down. Ray stretched, and looked around.
-
Her ears flicked like a horses would before standing. Zaida held the saucer with the tea. Her tail dragged the chair before she arrived at the window and sat down. looking out she watched a few furs in the village.
-
*she cleaned up and went outside, saying over her shoulder* I'm setting up shop, make yourself at home
-
(Sorry I was eating sushi, my favorite)
Zaida stood her tail wrapped in the chair she followed the chair dragging behind. Walking onto the patio she sat back down continuing to drink her tea. "Alright" she said soothingly.
-
Ray pulled a few bars of steel and strips of leather from his pack, and started hammering. The sound of metal being worked echoed around the town, and Ray whistled.
-
*she started grinding up some witch hazel with a mortar and pestle* Hopefully I'll be able to help a couple people today or at least sell some tea. All of my medicine and tea is hand picked and collected by my hands, it makes it more close to home ^~^
-
*red was cloaked by the potion,sneaking towards Willows hut*
-
Zaida sat in front of the door on the chair the tea glass empty. It rested on its saucer while it was set in the floor beside where she sat. She looked at the sky her eyes glowing brightly enjoying the beautiful sight.
-
*Red steadliy made his way across a few plants,before looking at zaida*
-
Grunan enters the crypt. He knew it was bigger than you would expect for a village this size. A large war had happened here once, this was where they buried the honoured dead from both sides... Vast underground rooms full of corpses, just beyond the modern crypt. Grunan moved passed the recent additons, and comes to the two metal doors that signaled the start of the 'Real' Tombs, decorated with the images of a great battle between 2 great dragons. A metaphor for the great war that once tore the land apart. Much to Grunan's frustration, the door was locked.
((In college, next response will probably be in 6 hours))
-
*her ears perked up and she looked up from her work, asking Z* does something feel off to you..?
-
(Don't know what potion but I'll go with invisible just tell me if I'm wrong love)
She puts a finger up to her mouth to be quiet as her ears moved slightly as she looked ahead, although didn't look at anything directly but had her eyes scan around. "I can sense you... When using invisibility, you eat to use other coating to decrease others from feeling your presence..." She simply said her tail limp but lightly patted the floor.
-
*tilts her head and lays her big ears back* hmm?
-
Geoffrey gazed about the church and entered the crypt a distance behind the snake. For whatever reason, as eerie as crypts were, he still found a bizarre fascination in them and the dead within. They all had stories: Their experiences in life, what they saw before death, their final thoughts... Even the bodies themselves interested him. They all rested peacefully in their own little spaces. He wondered what they might say to him if they could talk. What if they came back to life suddenly? That would be scary. And cool. But mostly scary. But still cool. He was weird. At this point he accepted that.
-
Grunan looksat the door, frustrated then he hears footsteps behind him. The dead did not walk in these modern tombs, not yet. So he knew he had been followed. "IS it normal, to stalk someone to where the dead rest?" Grunan says, projecting his voice but not actually yelling. "Or are you just a bit rude?"
-
Geoff jumped at the voice. "A-a-I wasn't trying to follow you," he said, backing up from the snake. "Just looking around. I-I'm sorry, sir..."
-
Grunan turns to face the bear. "Well, as your here, and if you enjoy looking around, I am trying to enter the deeper tombs. Can you help me get this door open? Grunan smiles at the bear obviously deciding what kind of person the bear was.
-
Maxwell wandered around the area before quickly ending up in the graveyard. He did no know whether he had gone there merely by coincidence or if he subconsciously wanted to see if the boy he had talked to in the inn last night was there. If he was he would probably be midway through an attempt to raise the dead, Maxwell was almost certain someone so young would only make a mistake.
-
"Uh, sure,"
Geoffrey fished a hand into his bag, pulled out a pick, and poked it into the lock . If there was something he was good at, it was picking locks. It had its uses; some good, some perhaps not so much. It was helpful either way.
-
Grunan grins as the door clicked open. "Thank you. After you of course. Though I warn you, the deeper tombs could be dangorous. We should use great care." Grunan gesturs at the spiral stairs beyond, descending into the depths.
-
Geoffrey nodded happily and moved to the stairs. He descended the steps slowly, making sure not to go too far ahead of the snake. As interested as he was with the place, he still found it unsettling.
-
Grunan comes down also, emerging into a large room, with a large wolf soldier statue, instead of a sword he is holding 2 shields, one for each side of the war.
"Symbol of peace. wonder how long it lasted." Grunan says, coldly. "My goal is further in. We are looking for the Lizard folk, involved in the war." Grunan grins. "This should be fun" Grunan heads further in, the corpses in there coffins are little more than dust here. "Watch out for traps." Grunan states "Most will have decayed, but some might still be active. if the ground feels unstable, stay still. It might be a pressure plate."
-
Ray sighed, and sat beside his anvil. He had flattened the pieces of steel, but had no way to combine them. Ray laid down, his head resting against the anvil, hoping someone would come by.
-
Maxwell looked around at all the gravestones. He felt peaceful, maybe it was because he was surrounded by nothing but the dead. The dead do not want, the dead do not get in his way. Well...Not often, anyway.
-
-setcho
*trotted around on his stead gesturing friendly at passers by*
-
As Grunan spoke about the pressure plate Geoff's foot made contact with it. There was a loud click and a sudden hail of arrows shot out right in front of him. It was hard to tell if they were meant as a warning or if it was designed for someone who was running to head straight into the range of the trap.
-
Grunan raises his arms, but the bolts hit short of him... "Oh... guess the strings were rotten. Fortunate." Grunan readies his staff, and moves further, tapping the staff to check for traps. "If you want to turn back now is the time. But I am not going to let one broken trap stop me."
-
Geoff stood frozen for a moment, eyes wide and mouth agape, before relaxing with a sigh and following the snake.
-
As Grunan walked his robes got caught to a nearby sconce. The sconce pulled down and set off another trap, this times jets of flame shot out from the wall right next to Grunan.
-
Grunan is hit, and badly burnt, his robes catch light, Grunan topples to the ground, screaming. He tries to roll to put the fire out.
-
*he blinks seeing zaidas red sillhouete*
-
Zaida continued to scan the area giving a huff from her nostrils. "Possibly your delusional" she said to willow "now shoo, continue on what you were going to do" she said but did know that someone, or something was lurking around making her ears lay back.
-
Geoffrey gasped and tried his best to keep his composure as he channeled a spell, swiping his hands toward the flames. The flames extinguished as if blown away by wind.
-
*he grabs his cutlass, before creeping towards her*
-
Grunan was slightly scorched, but not seriously harmed, he pants, most of his robes were just rags... "Maybe we should go back..." He mumbles. "Before we get killed."
-
*she held her big ears up and grabbed a jar filled with a thick orange fluid, listening for any movements*
-
Zaida stayed silent, aware they were growing closer. Quickly jumping to her feet she blindly kicked the chair in his direction.
-
*watching the chair bounce off of something she flung the orange liquid at it, it sticking to the figures body* aha!
-
*he grabs both swords,drawing them*
-
Hearing drawn blades Zaida hisses. "I hope you realize your making a foolish mistake" she bared her teeth under the hood and mask. A black smoke formed on her right arm before summoning to a thin but jagged black blade
-
Acon walked into a village she'd passed before, but never ventured into. Her long tails dragged on the ground behind her as she moved, maggots and fleas falling out of her fur.
-
*she laid her ears back and hissed at the hidden figure, now knowing where he stood, she cast Entangle around his feet, the ground burst with fat roots that looped over and around his feet and legs*
-
*he looks at the roots before his cutlasses where covered in a thin blanket of fire,he stabs through the roots*
-
"M-maybe that's for the best," Geoff muttered. He began walking back the way they came, keeping eye on where he stepped in case of traps they managed to avoid the first time around.
-
Grunan follows... until they come to what is apparently an unknown corridor. "Stop." Grunan instructs. "We did not come this way." Grunan looks back over his shoulder and swears. "The walls... SHIT. Sometime in here... the walls moved... they must have." Grunan was starting to panic. "What the hell do we do now?"
-
Geoffrey tried to stay as collected as possible. A shiver went down his spine.
"W-well... we just have to... k-keep moving, I guess," he said, clearly far from confident. "Maybe there's a... a puzzle involved. Or something..."
-
Grunan sighs... He nods. "We need to keep moving." Grunan starts to walk down the corridor. Touching the stones with his burnt staff. Keeping in the middle of the room, moving very slowly.
-
The corridors started to to slowly tilt and lean slightly. The walls were at a slight angle making the space feel more claustrophobic. There were small puddles on the floor now, they got progressively bigger as they moved onward.
-
Grunan seemed slightly more comfortable. "The corridor is warped... that means the traps should be broken beyond repair. We can move slightly easier."
Grunan was also happy as he saw a symbol on the ceiling, a symbol he recognized. He had found his goal. He grinned with excitement, forgetting his burns.
-
Geoffrey stopped and peered down at one of the puddles. It might not be water. He didn't want to get closer to examine them just in case.
"Th-these could be flammable," he told Grunan. "o-or... corrosive... we should keep away from them, watch for stuff that'll spark..."
Maybe they were just water, but it was better to be safe than sorry.
-
Seeing the roots had grabbed towards the stranger, but quickly reacted to the fire. Zaida hissed running forward the hybrid slammed the invisible Scalie, knocking him back
-
*the roots continued to grasp at his body, pinning him down as he fell. The dragoness hurried over and covered the rest of him in the orange goo, his body slowly coming into view from the substance*
-
Grunan nods, and keeps walking, speeding up slightly. It was so close he could taste it.
-
The corridor filled with water gradually as the two went further. The water was soon past their ankles up to their shins, the lean in the walls getting worse very slowly, almost at a rate which is unnoticeable.
-
"Well, that explains the puddles," Geoffrey mumbled. But that didn't mean there wasn't more to it. Or it could just be plain old underground water.
"I think this place is flooded," he said. "Maybe we should turn back..."
-
"No." Grunan states. "You can if you want I am going to keep going." Grunan presses on, speeding up his pace. It was obvious now he was hiding something.
-
Geoffrey continued as well. Like hell he was going back alone.
-
The two entered a room that looked like a large burial chamber. It was filled with coffins one of which was larger than the others and in the very center of the room. Next to this larger coffin, which was made entirely of marble from the looks of it, was a night stand also made of marble. Upon the nightstand lay a book which looked like it was in extraordinarily good condition given the circumstances. The water had risen to the pair's knees. It sounded like splashing could be heard in the distance, it was so quiet it sounded like merely a rat running through one of the puddles.
-
Grunan sees the book. And moves towards it, smiling. "Its here... just as they said... its here...." Grunan splashes towards the book. "Thank you Thank you so much... the items in this room are worth a fortune that should be enough... but that book..." Grunan reaches out a hand to grab it.
-
Geoffrey's ears twitched. He stared in the direction he heard the noise, trying to see if he could make anything out.
-
The sound of the splashing got more frequent and then suddenly there was a flash of white and a face was grinning at Geoff. Wait...No. That wasn't a grin, it was a skull, and it was on a skeleton, which had moved... The skeleton was joined by another and then a final one which seemed to be wearing heavy looking armour with ease, it seemingly having no effect on it's brittle bones.
-
Geoffrey gasped and leaped back. His foot slipped, and he plopped into the water with a yelp.
-
Grunan grins. "Of course." He grabs the book, and places it in his cloak, he had a pouch specially for it on the inside, thankfully not badly damaged by the fire. He then readies his magic. "They are just bones. How tough can they be?"
-
The skeleton in armour grabbed Geoff as soon as he plopped into the water, lifting him up with both of it's hands. The other two instantly charged for Grunan. Their bone structures are a little different compared to the one wearing armour. They seemed weaker too. This was because the one in armour was a soldier from what was considered a "pure bred" family and the other two were merely peasants.
-
Grunan blasts fire at the nearest skeletons, and then blasts lighting with his other hand at the armored skeleton. He seriously hoped this worked. But neither of these weapons were built for use against the dead, and his staff felt very brittle in its current state. "AIM FOR THE RIBCAGE" Grunan yells. "DESTROY IT and it will BE DESTROYED"
-
Geoffrey growled and squirmed in the skeleton's grip before kicking his leg up into its ribcage.
-
The skeletons charging Grunan fell to the ground in a heap of bones. The electricity hits the armour which acts as a conductor, the electricity travels down into the water and shocks Grunan with the power of a static shock. Geoff was unaffected by the shock as he was suspended above the water, his feet not touching the ground. The armoured skeleton didn't do anything after that, it must have been confused by what just happened. It was at this moment that Geoff's kick connected with it's rib-cage making the skeletal soldier stumble backwards and let go off Geoff.
-
Grunan grins, and moves towards the skeleton, he tries to smash the things skull.
-
Geoffrey splashed a safe distance away and channeled a fire spell in case Grunan's attack failed.
-
The skeletal warrior's skull split open with the ease that an overripe watermelon would have. The skeleton walked around, unable to see now that it was headless.
-
Geoffrey took this chance to release his spell at the skeleton.
-
Grunan steps back.
-
The fire hits the armour and causes it to heat up, melting it slightly and making it weaker. The skeleton flails and manages to hit Grunan on the arm.
-
Grunan yelps as he is hit, there is an audible crunch, Grunan yelps, and jumps back, his arm looking limp.the thing was strong. Grunan blasts the thing with another burning hands.
-
Geoffrey also shot another fire spell, and wave of coolness ran through his body.
-
The thing stumbled from the impact of the two spells and hit the ground, shattering within it's armour.
-
Geoffrey watched the skeleton carefully for a moment before sighing with relief.
-
Grunan collapses onto the steps, careful not to fall in the water. "Ahh shit... my arm..." Grunan reaches into his robes, and grabs the book "Ok... We were injured, but now we reap the rewards..." Grunan grins. "We will need help getting out of here. There will be more skeletons I reckon... So... umm... sorry I never got your name. How do you think we should get help?" Grunan grins at Geoff, his arrogance showing through. He knew EXACTLY how HE planned to get out of here.
-
*the roots continued to grasp at his body, pinning him down as he fell. The dragoness hurried over and covered the rest of him in the orange goo, his body slowly coming into view from the substance*
*red screeches as twomore ragnos uncloak and rush towards the garden*
-
The crypt was now deafeningly silent. There was lmost no sound besides the ones made by Grunan and Geoff.
Maxwell was still outside in the graveyard, he had a feeling trouble was about. That and he liked the peace and quiet.
-
Geoffrey had no idea what Grunan was hinting at, nor did he notice anything suspicious. "I-I... I dunno. Don't think we can get a hold of anyone here..."
"Uh, my name is... Geoffrey... by the way..."
-
Grunan moves over to the big coffin, flinging it open. "Heh... hehe. I found our help right here..." Grunan opens the book, and scrolls through the pages.
-
Zaida turns to face one of the ragnos dragging her blade into its chest. tripping the other with her tail, she slowly wrapped on its neck crushing slowly. "I suggest you stop before you push over my limits" she hissed
-
*one was behind her,it preceeded to grab her*
-
Geoffrey walked closer to Grunan, peering at the book behind his shoulder. "A spellbook...?"
His gaze switched to the corpse in the coffin. Within a minute, it clicked.
"Y--... N-necromancy?"
-
Grunan grins, and starts chanting. Pointing at the robed skeleton in the coffin. He had fine decorated blue robes, and a fancy looking staff with a ball of crystal on the end. You suspect it was magical, but this is probably a replica. Real magic items rarely end up buried.
-
Not completely understanding the nature of necromancy magic alone, stripped of society's negative view of it, Geoffrey was neutral on its use. He felt no urge to stop Grunan and only stared in awe as the skeleton awakened.
-
*willow ran up with a cast iron pan and hit it on the back of the head as hard as she could as he grabbed Z*
-
The robed skeleton rose to its feet. Grunan grins, then clutches his stomach, and keels over."AHHH crap... what is that..." he winces, and gets back to his feet. "I... I guess magic comes at a cost and thats this things cost... oww..." Grunan turns back to Geoff. "Well... lets get moving. This skeleton should last a lifetime." Grunan grins, the thing he had created lurched forward, heading back the way they came.
-
Geoffrey followed close by Grunan, eyeing the skeleton intently as it sloshed through the water. Necromancy shouldn't be too bad. It was just recycling a lifeless body for new use, right? In this case, it's for protection. What harm would that do?
-
With their 'guide', the pair quickly find their way back. A wall had indeed moved, but the mechanism was easy to find.
Grunan was wrong about there being more guardians, they actually do not get attacked, and manage to avoid the traps they set off on their way in.
Grunan grins as he goes up the spiral stairs. "Thank you Geoff. Without you this would not have been possible."
-
Zaida flipped the ragnos over her onto the table. With hard impact the wooden table broke. She huffed using telekinesis having been the ragnos fly through the window and the glass following after and impaling.
-
Geoffrey smiled and shrugged. "Eh, tha--You're welcome..."
He followed Grunan up the stairs and wondered if he could stick with him for a while. He seemed like a nice guy, despite being so intimidating. But he likely wanted his space now that they had their "fun".
-
Zaida flipped the ragnos over her onto the table. With hard impact the wooden table broke. She huffed using telekinesis having been the ragnos fly through the window and the glass following after and impaling.
*Red finally escaped the vines,wiping himself off he looks at zaida*
-
Facing towards his direction a bit of liquid on him the sword disintegrating into black smoke before fading into nothingness. "Well? Anything else?" She hissed her head slightly raised and eyebrow raised.
-
*he grabs a small rod*
-
"Try me, peasant" she said with a growl. The sun beginning to rise and the moon was setting. Her tail whipped the air.
-
"I am...unimpressed by you're skill,hybrid....but i am inclined to avenge casualities"*he grabs his cutlasses*"But i'm sure i will keep your skull"
-
"It's ashame you will fail~" Zaida said her eyes glowing brightly. The room began to go dark and she summoned her dual swords. "Luckily this won't take much time"
-
Ray, seeing as he had no business, fell asleep against the anvil. He wasn't worried about being robbed, he had no money anyway.
-
Grunan looks at the skeleton. "You will need to stay here..." The skeleton retreats back down the stairs.
Grunan nods. "Well... I should return to the inn. I assume you won't tell anyone about this will you?" Grunan grins arrogantly, and heads out of the tomb.
-
"Heh, who would I tell?" Geoffrey chuckled.
He decided to follow Grunan to the inn. Maybe they could hang out some more, if the snake was even the type to do such a thing.
-
Ray woke up to a potential customer. After a few moments, Ray smiled, and began to form the flattened metal into a large tankard. From what he gleaned from the customer, the local inn had lost a tankard to a bar-fight. Ray finished the cup in record time, and marked the bottom of the tankard with his symbol, nothing more than a stylized 'R'. In compensation, Ray was given enough money to buy bread and water, but not much else.The customer left, and Ray moved and sat on his anvil, hoping for another customer.
-
Maxwell spotted Grunan and Geoff as they walked out of the crypt. He walked over to them. "Looks like my instincts were correct. There was indeed trouble going on in the area and of course it was connected to the aspiring necromancer."
-
Angder beams at Maxwell. "I am sorry? what gives you the impression we got into trouble? this went perfectly." Grunan states.
-
"Oh I'm certain whatever you were doing in a crypt belonging to someone other than yourself has a perfectly logical explanation, and has nothing to do with any form of trouble." Maxwell smiled widely. "May I inquire as to what you were doing?"
-
With his hands clasped behind his back, Geoffrey kept his mouth shut tight as the two people talked. They were obviously of higher status, and he felt it was best not to speak in case any foolish words escaped his lips.
-
The saber raised a brow when he saw the bear clasp his hands behind his back. Alistair walked up behind him and gave him a nudge.
-
Geoffrey jumped slightly as he was nudged and he span around, noticing the saber cat from the night before.
"Oh hey," he greeted, smiling.
-
Zaida saw some villagers coming to the scene. With a hiss she aimed her paw the ragnos "until next time we meet, red" having him disappear, black smoke where he once stood. But he reappeared just a few houses down, behind the pub.
And herself just by the blacksmiths working area. She snarled her eyes black before blinking they snapped to their original color.
-
He chuckled at Geoff, motioning to his back, "Need a royal mount?"
-
Geoffrey shrugged. "N-not right now, thank you. A-and thank you for helping me last night."
-
Grunan sighs "Lets head back to the inn. Discussing this publicly is not a good idea." Grunan heads for the inn, aware of Geoff and Al talking behind them.
-
Geoffrey followed Grunan.
-
Alistair nodded to Angder, exhaling sharply as he looked toward the local market.
-
Grunan enters the inn, and immediately orders a drink.
-
Maxwell entered the inn after Grunan did, gesturing for Geoff to enter as he stepped in as well. He pointed to a table. "Shall we discuss what you were doing over a drink or two?" He hated drinking, but nothing loosened a tongue better.
-
Grunan sat down with Maxwell. "Why are you so curious?"
-
-setcho
*returns to the inn, his armour was damaged and scratched and he had a slight limp*
bar tender....yes please....*cough*
-
Maxwell gestured for the bartender or someone to come tend to him and Grunan. "Well I must admit, I want to know what a young, aspiring corpse raiser such as yourself found in a crypt."
-
Geoffrey sat at the table. He poked a claw at a gash in the wood, perhaps seeming as if he was in his own little world--well, he was, but just halfway in, his other side listening to the conversation.
-
"lets just say I found what I was looking for." Grunan states mysteriously. "What about you? what have you been doing today?"
-
Maxwell smiled and shrugged nonchalantly as they were served some ale. "Maybe I'll tell you what I've actually been doing at some point. Maybe I won't. For now, this will have to do. I have been travelling from place to place, never settling down for too long, so today I got aquinted with some of the area and then ended up at the graveyard. I stayed there for a good while and bumped into you two."
-
-setcho
arrrghhh
*dropping to one knee*
-
Grunan glances at Setcho, "give me a second." Grunan gets up and walks over to Setcho. "You OK?" Grunan offers Setcho a hand.
-
Zaida walked, feeling odd her eyes slowly going to pitch black. Seeing a vision in a large temple statue of each god although each cracking some completely broken. voices began talking in her head causing a snarl to grow on her face. Facing her statue some small but not major cracks stood besides that looked completely perfect, Before opening her eyes once more she stood in the middle of the village. "Fools, I warned them all and they shunned..." She hissed in a cold whisper under her hood.
-
*Red was grabbing his brothers helmet,as he had glew back to the garden*
-
She rubbed her head looking about for now she was still new to this village. Needing a drink she wandered about until finding the pub from yesterday and was the only place she knew with beverages. Walking through the doors she walked to the counter and sitting down.
-
*Red was following zaidas trail*
-
(I would like to join if there is still room.)
Name: Rose
Gender: Female
Species: Thri-keen (insect race from D&D)
Powers: none but is alchemist with a lot of potions and bombs.
Weapons: her alchemy kit and a four daggers.
Appearance: Her appearance looks similar to that of pink preying mantis except instead of mantis claw things she has four arms, one set bigger than the other. She wears a normal bar maids outfit and when travelling puts on a trench coat that holds all her potions and bombs.
Background: Once a thri-keen princess, Rose is an exile from her homeland for trying to go against the system of the hive. She doesn't like to talk about home and right now works at at local tavern as a barmaid. She has been saving up money to eventually travel and has almost reached her goal. Which is good because she is tired of all the other furs looking at her funny.
-
Zaida looked at the bartender. "Water, and if there isn't water then go to the well" she demanded with a growl. her tail limp and at least four feet long and her ears laid back slightly to the side, obviously aggravated.
-
The bartender quickly got out some water and sent a pink thri-keen barmaid to deliver it.
"H-her you go miss." She stuttered as she handed Said a her drink.
-
The hybrid hidden under her armor, without a word grabbed the water lightly from the barmaids hand.
-
The barmaid dipped her head and went to serve drinks to the other customers. However she tried to stay positive as today was her last day and she would be adventuring soon.
-
*he looks through the bar window*
-
Pulling the mask down zaida took a sip of the cold glass of water, giving a small sigh from her nose. Before setting it down and resting her head. She felt odd but shrugged it off trying to relax
-
Acon walked into the bar with a slight smile on her face. She sat down beside Zaida and offered a kind look before turning her glassy eyes to the bar maid. "I'd like the strongest you've got in your inventory, please. Then I want you to take that and make it stronger." She instructed. "I don't care how you do it, I just want it done."
-
Ray wandered into the tavern soon after Acon. After hearing her order, Ray blinked, and spoke quietly, but towards Acon. "I'm feeling tipsy just hearing that, miss."
-
Acon turned around and gave Ray a wide smile. "Good! That means it's destined to be a strong drink!"
-
Ray nodded. "Quite." He looked towards the bartender, and spoke softly, leaving a few meager coins on the bar. "Can I order a flask of water, with this?" The barkeep laughed, and shook his head, pointing towards the door. "Shove off, wretch. I'm not runnin' a charity." Ray sighed, and started towards the exit, defeated.
-
Acon grabbed Ray's arm and yanked him back towards the bar. "I'll cover his drink." She barked.
-
The barkeep blinked, and then nodded. "Fair 'nuff, miss. No need to get snappy." He sighed through his nose, and began to clean a dirtied tankard.
-
Acon hugged Ray's face to her chest and squeezed. "This man is too precious to let die of thirst."
-
Ray blinked, and tried to extricate himself from Acon's grasp, confused and startled. The barkeep blinked, and shook his head. "Strange thing, love is."
-
Acon released Ray with a hearty laugh.
-
Ray blinked again. "S-So...that was sudden." He shook his head, and then smiled. "Should we get a seat?"
-
Acon nodded and stood up from her seat at the bar. "Sure thing." She looked around moment before spotting a table near the back and walked to it.
-
Ray followed along, and sat down at the table. "S-So, what's your name?"
-
"I go by many names, but you will call me Aconitum." She chipped happily as if she'd bestowed a great honor on to him.
-
Ray blinked. "O-Oh, alright. But I'm going to call you that by choice, if you don't mind."
-
-setcho
*took his hand*
thank you kind sir, i took a beating....damn king has been running me ragged
-
Grunan helps the man to his feet. "your a knight?" Grunan asks, "What have you been doing?"
-
-setcho
what ever the king demands......just recently i er....doesnt matter
*he takes the drink from the bar tender*
-
"Secret stuff?" Grunan asks. "Interesting."
-
-setcho
*places his helmet down on the bar side*
here let me *cough* buy you a drink
*gesturing at the bar tender*
-
Grunan shakes his head. "No... I have already had a drink, and you deserve one far more." Grunan pays the barkeeper. "Get this man a drink"
Grunan looks sideways at the odd pair (Acon and Ray) something was odd... about the Jackal. Grunan looks away to grab Setcho's drink, and returns to him
-
-setcho
please....come sit
*pulling a stool up*
sorry i didnt catch your name
-
Zaida carved her claw into the counter, her ears flicked from noises around in the somewhat quite bar and her foot tapped against the floor. Hidden in her armor she gave a sigh from her nose which a black smoke escaped as if she was smoking. Her head turned around fully, her neck cracking before she faced the window where red was once standing. "Where are you..." She mumbled before turning to the bartender. "red wine, now" she said in a cold tone.
-
Grunan nods to Maxwell and Geoff. Signalling he was not going to be talking for a while as he was occupied with the knight. "Grunan" The snake sits. "Forgive the state of my Robes Please. I did not expect to meet a knight today"
-
-setcho
tis fine, dont worry your self. Now tell me Grunan, what does one do with his time
-
Acon nodded as she twirled a piece of curly blue hair over her finger. "As you wish." As she thought, Acon's long forked tongues flicked out of her mouth and over her nose.
-
Maxwell had been watching Zaida with interest, he wondered what she was up to, who she was and why she was in the bar. None of tat was any of his business but sometimes curiosity doesn't follow reason. He seemed confused as he noticed Grunan signalling to him and someone else. He had no idea who it could have been thou- He spotted Geoffrey. Oh of course, I forgot he was there.
"Do you happen to be mute?"
-
Grunan Grins. "I am a mage." He states simply. "Not a very powerful one. But I am one."
-
-setcho
you are stuff of legend, i am honoured to be in your presence
-
Grunan shakes his head, amused and flattered. "Not yet I am afraid."
-
-setcho
you know, i work alone and well....some company wouldn't go amiss
-
The thri-keen barmaid was almost done with her shift and handed out the last of the going to the bartender, who owned the place for her pay.
"Her you go." He said handing her a gold piece.
"This much, but I couldn't possibly..."
"You have worked for me for a long time and you need every last piece of gold you can get. Now get outa' 're Rose." Rose jumped with excitement and went up to her room to packed.
-
Grunan's eyes lit up. "What do you need from me sir, do you want me to accompany you?"
-
Zaida watched the barmaid that grew with excitement and that soon later went to her room. a bit curious but continued to her wine as she was deep in thought while taking small sips
-
-setcho
*nodded*
sure why not, i must warn you its not easy
-
"I do not worry about danger." Grunan states.
-
-setcho
*patted him on the back*
thats good to hear, i appreciate the help
-
Rose was just put on her travelling coat when a bomb fell out of her pocket. A loud explosion could be heard from upstairs.
"Rose! That better have not been a bomb!" The bartender yelled.
"...I'll clean it up." She said.
"Ugh can't say I'll miss that part of her."
-
Grunan hears the bomb, wincing from the sudden loud noise. "I should return to my group." Grunan moves towards Geoff and Maxwell.
-
(Uuuuugh storms. big, big, storms) Zaida huffed her ears standing from the explosion upstairs. She pulled her hood down probably familiar to some but none couldn't place it. Although still felt uneasy, but continued to drink her wine that gradually went black.
-
Acon flattened her ears at the explosion. "Loud noises~" she growled.
-
Maxwell's ears twitched at the sound of the explosion. "Well, how unexpected. I wonder if this place has a tendency to just explode at times."
-
"I know wizards like that." Grunan states, sitting back down. "One wrong move with the wrong spell and all kinds of bad can happen." Grunan says. "not that it matters, if your skilled and know what your doing, the benefits of magic far outweigh the negatives."
-
*After packing up her shop and locking her house up, Willow enters the bar and orders some water, sighing and thinking about her shop, mumbling* If only business was as good as this.. *she shook her head and smirked* no, if it was this busy I'd go crazy
-
Ray blinked. "Hm. Blackpowder bombs?" He shook his head, and rubbed his ear. "Anyway, are you okay?"
-
Acon eyed Ray a moment before she shrugged. "I suppose." She hissed before slowly lifting her ears back up.
-
Ray raised an eyebrow. "Y-You sure?"
-
Acon narrowed her eyes at Ray before she sat back and sipped her drink. "Yes."
-
Ray took a sip of his own drink, confused. She was so friendly a few moments ago.
-
Acon moved her tongue around in her mouth as she tried picking something out of her teeth. "Can you do me a favor?" She asked.
-
Ray shrugged. "Depends on what it is, miss Aconitum."
-
Acon smiled. "Will you pick something out of my teeth? You have longer claws than I do." She wiggled her fingers in front of Ray to show him that she didn't even have claws.
-
Zaida was having a decent conversation which seemed to be a priest. Shaking her head and speaking quietly although wasn't in any language furries knew. "It has fallen" she said the last words in English
-
Ray blinked, and looked around. "I...I suppose?"
-
Grunan nods to his company, if he was going to accompany Setcho he would need his sleep. "I am afraid I must leave to get some sleep." Grunan moves away from the table, glad to be away from the two curious onlookers, he moves for the stairs.
-
The dragoness sipped her water and leaned against the bar, looking around at all the lively and mysterious people. She sighed, wishing her life were more interesting like theirs but, who would be a healer? She sat at the bar and used her claw to stir the ice around in her drink as the thought on and on.
-
Rose came down after cleaning up the exploded room wearing her trench coat. She looked around the tavern to see who looked like the adventuring type.
-
After minutes of speaking the priest "it's a shame..." he shook his walking out of the pub.
Zaida watched the elder elk him leave before she rested her head down on the counter the hood falling over her head again her snout peaking out
-
"Umm excuse me..." Rose went up to Zaida feeling very nervous.
-
She didn't move her hood cover her face and snout sticking out from under. "Yes?" She spoke in a quite tone her long tail whipping the air.
-
"I-I am looking for an adventuring group and y-you look like the adventuring type. Are you?"
-
"I suppose you can say I'm adventurous, although I'm fairly new here." She replied her tongue licking the side of her snout.
-
"Well I can show you around later, I know this town farley well...crap I forgot my bag. I'll be back."
(I actually got to sign off for tonight. You don't have to wait.)
-
(Ah it's fine, night)
"Alright, if I'm not here just search around I don't think I'll leave the village any time soon" she said soothingly her ears listening to Rose walking off
-
Geoffrey sat at the table alone. Once again he had to go out and find somewhere to stay for the night, but he didn't feel like it...
He opened his bag and sifted around, looking for any coins he might have forgotten.
-
Zaida rested her head on the counter looking as if she were sleeping but was awake. She thought uncertain where she would stay, still fairly new to the mortal realm she wasn't quite sure how everything worked. Luckily the pub wasn't closing until late tonight, at least an hour or two maybe giving her a chance to figure things out.
-
Geoffrey did have a few coins he forgot, and if he even had enough, he had to choose between renting a room and buying some food. Thinking back, he had seen the raccoon attempt to order water for about as much, and it wasn't enough to even afford that, so it was safe to assume neither was a choice. The bear whimpered quietly and rested his head on his arms.
-
Hearing the whimpers she turned around with a raised brow, curious the hybrid stood walking over to the whimpering bear "why are you making such noises, bear?" She asked her snout slightly visible from under the hood and her glowing eyes looking down at him.
-
Geoffrey peered up at the intimidating glowing eyes and his ears lowered. He didn't realize he was being loud enough to hear. "N-no reason, s-sorry, ma'am..."
-
Zaida huffed pulling her hood down to show her face, having a curious look. Possibly looking similar but this feeling happened to some, she then repeated "Why such noises?" She asked again. The hybrid may look tall but only because she stood, she was at least the same height as the bear.
-
-setcho
*fell asleep at the bar side, with a drink still beside him*
ughh..
-
This strange lady did seem familiar, but he wasn't sure how. Did they meet before? Was it from a dream? Either way, he didn't want to stick around to remember.
"I-I... It's no one's business. I'm sorry, ma'am. I-I'll take my leave..."
Geoffrey nervously stood up from his chair and began stepping his way out of the tavern.
-
"No ones business?" She said walking in front blocking his path. "May you just tell me, I am only curious" she said softly and sighing from her nose her tail swaying just inches off the ground. "Why were you whimpering?" Waiting for a response, Her faded pups focused to his eyes although weren't very noticeable..
-
Geoffrey frowned. "I-I'm just low on coin, is all..."
-
'Low on coin' she thought "what we're you going to use coin on, bear?" She asked.
-
Ray tilted his head, and spoke. "Miss Aconitum, it'd be very hard to pick something from your teeth, especially if I don't know what I'm looking for."
-
Room or food. He already couldn't decide on which, and now someone was questioning him specifically.
"Uhh... L-living," Geoffrey stated.
-
Titling her head a bit. "But how exactly can a place like so" she gestured. "Help with living?"
-
Geoffrey shrugged. He was a bit confused.
-
"Never mind that, I am fairly new here, where are the rooms" she simply said
-
"Upstairs," Geoffrey replied. "Y-you'll have to pay to stay in one..."
-
"Pay? Why should I pay?" She huffed the question at the bear.
-
Willow pried her ears up as she heard a familiar voice, two actually. She looked over and saw the bear from the previous night as well as her guest. She walked up to Z and smiled "Hey Z! Thank you for helping with that guy earlier. I would've been dead if it weren't for you, so, again thank you."
She turned her attention to the nervous bear. "And you were out in the cold last night weren't you? I was the one who offered you a place to stay, but you refused. Did you end up finding a place?"
-
Grunan was on his bed, reading through his spell book. Examining each page. He did not dare try any of the spells here, the stunt in the tombs was dangerous enough.
Of course, as the spell worked, he would return tomorrow, a set of 3 corpses should be sufficient for now. Start small.
-
Geoffrey shrugged sheepishly at Zaida. "Uh, I dunno, you'll have to ask the tavern owner. I don't work here..."
He turned to the dragon. He remembered her, and he lowered his ears.
"Oh. I-I'm sorry about that. I was a bit paranoid from my drink... Y-yeah, I found a place."
-
Zaida's neck cracked as she turned her head around facing willow her body facing Geoff. "The pleasure was mine" she said calmly before alining her head back with her body
-
The tall dragoness laughed softly and smiled warmly. "Oh sweetheart that's quite alright, it happens." She nodded as his response and patted his shoulder. "And it was safe I presume? You seem in good health, just remember my door is always open. Well, to kind strangers anyway." She chuckled, remembering earlier today. She waved goodbye and sat back at the bar.
-
The God Looking at the bear. "Why not stay with the dragoness, Willow. She did offer, did she not?" Zaida spoke with a raised brow.
-
Geoffrey thought for a moment.
"Well, I suppose I could..."
-
Maxwell made his downstairs and out of the tavern, keeping his head down and his hood raised as he did. He had one hand on his pouch of gold, it felt heavy, maybe just enough for what he wanted. No. What he needed.
-
Geoffrey noticed Maxwell leave. All he knew about him was that Grunan knew him. He wondered what relation he was to Grunan, and what he was up to. It was none of his business, of course. He chose not to follow him. He preferred to simply wait for Grunan, for he had more trust in the snake after their adventure in the crypt.
-
Grunan heads downstairs. book safely on his back, he was wearing a different set of red robes now.
-
Zaida looked at the furry leave, she was silent not busy at the moment decided to exit the pub. She was going on a stroll, he needed to know the village more. If, of course she were to come back. Passing the church she looked at the stained glass windows one including her although she has a odd history, Zaida looking back often regret her choices.
-
Maxwell made his way into the village, he passed the church on the way and glanced up at the the stained glass window. He saw the image of Zaida but didn't recognise it, not consciously anyway, he was not a big believer and never really payed attention to that kind of stuff. He kept a tight grip on his gold pouch, he had a purchase to make.
-
Grunan sits back down with Geoff. "Did I miss anything?"
-
"Not really," Geoffrey replied as he sat back in his chair and leaned against the table. "Who was that wolf?"
-
"Wolf? OH... Maxwell. I don't really know to be honest, took an interest in me though. Followed me to the tomb"
-
Geoffrey looked down at the table. "Ah..."
-
"Setcho has offered me to work for him" Angder states, pointing to Setcho. "I plan to go with him on his quest or whatever."
-
Geoffrey looked up, smiling lightly. "Well, that's good... Uh..."
His smile faded. "Would you guys mind me joining you--I mean, I understand if no--if so..."
-
Grunan looks over to Setcho. "Lets ask." Grunan stands up.
-
-setcho
*was drinking still at the bar, slouched due to his injury's*
-
Geoffrey stood up and followed Grunan.
-
Grunan moves over to Setcho. "... I have a companion who wishes to travel with us... He is called Geoffrey.."
-
-setcho
*beamed up at the two*
the more the merrier, thats great news!
-
Grunan looks over to Geoffrey. "Welcome aboard."
-
Geoffrey grinned.
-
-setcho
oh we've met before, i wondered when id be seeing you again
-
"you have?" Grunan inquires.
-
"Yeah," Geoffrey replied. "Here the night before."
-
-setcho
we'll set off in the morning, but for now relax; grab a drink
-
Willow, overhearing their conversation, asked Geoffery if he'd be staying with her. Her ears perked up and a warm smile on her face.
-
*Red was still pursuing zaida*
-
Zaida had her eyes closed lightly under her hood. Every breath letting mist escape into the cold winter air, a small breeze blowing the cape lightly. She watched The sun slowly setting behind the mountains in the distance.
Stopping near the fountain she sat down her tail swaying as it rested on the stones. Zaida stayed silent her eyes narrowed scanning around as she gave a quiet growl. "Come out... "
-
*he was behind her,drawing both of his swords*"i have come to defeat you,you foul succubus"
-
Blinking her brows furrowed and mouth went to a snarl as she turned around slowly. "How dare you call me a succubus, you puking Beatle headed swine" she hissed her glowing eyes under her hood looking into his eyes.
-
(my god zaida XD)
*He was unaffected by her stare,his eyes looking coldly,unblinking*
-
(Hehe, credits to the movies and books I read :P )
"You are nothing, filthy peasant" she said smoke swirling around her arms before summoning into large jagged dual swords.
-
*he looks at her His hands clenching the swords*
-
Zaida's tail swayed before she hissed charging to the ragnos her swords ready.
-
*he looks at her before stepping aside*
-
Zaida slid, turning around sharply and kicking behind his leg causing him stumble. Kicking his back with heavy force.
-
*he dodges the kick before grabbing a knife*
-
Acon curled back her lip in a snarl and reached into her mouth. She grasped what was stuck in her teeth and it screeched like an angry bird. Finally, Acon pulled the thing from her teeth revealing that it was in fact a bird. "Got it! Thanks for your help, friend!" She chipped, letting the bird go in the pub and standing to take her leave.
-
Ray blinked. "Oh...o-okay. Well, have a good day, miss." He stood, and started out of the inn. Ray planned to move his anvil before snow fell, and then another thought struck him. "Oh! I need to write my brother! He's got the rest of my stuff..."
-
Zaida slid beneath him, and she got to her feet quickly. Elbowing hard into his throat before swirling her left dual sword ready to hit.
-
*he stab her left arm,barring her neck with his elbow*
-
Rose left the tavern and headed sorta wandered around town looking for that sergal.
"Oh she couldn't have gotten far. I hope she's still around. I hate travelling alone."
-
Zaida roared stumbling her arm dripping blood. She pushed against the dragon pushing him down she ripped the blade out of her flesh and threw it to his shoulder. "Mortal, do you really think you will win?" She said in a hiss her foot then stomping to his chest.
-
*he grabs the blade before cutting her leg*
-
She growls before her eyes went all black becoming blind temporarily, whispers of the past filling her head, Backing away she shook her head. "Get out!" She yelled holding her head
-
*he stabs her leg before punching her in the face*
-
Falling she shook her head and yelled. "Silence! Stop!" She roared struggling to get up. Finally getting to her feet she swung blindly unable to hit the voices and her eyesight currently gone. Her swords slashing to small tree's causing them to fall off.
-
*he grabs his sword,slicing her back and taking some of her money*"*i've think you've had enough,trite"*he cloaks and ran off*
-
Zaida was sprawled across the floor her snout pressed down as she gasps out. "Out, out, get out of my mind..." Going silent before Giving a groan of slight pain. The wounds began to slowly (very slowly) heal and armor slowly, her eyes changing back to their original color regaining her vision and the voices in her head fading away but before long the hybrid was silent and still before drifting off into sleep.
The moon was setting and the sun began to rise, clouds over head and it began to snow ever so lightly
-
((When can we timeskip, us 4 seem to be waiting for the next day.))
-
((Timeskip to morning, there. Although just ask in PM next time. I'll try to make the days faster for everyone although I won't do much timeskips only when necessary))
-
(I have had trouble keeping up. So where is everyone?)
-
((Me and red were just near the border of the village. Willow in the pub relaxing. setcho, Geoff, angder in the pub doing whatever they're doing. That's all I know))
-
(Ok)
Rose went back to the pub and continued looking for adventurers. She didn't feel safe alone and wanted someone to travel with.
-
Zaida's eyes fluttered open laying on snow that lightly covered the floor. "Gah~" she huffed her mouth and throat dry. Feeling a little sniffs she looked seeing a fox, she pet the small pup before it licked her then pranced off playfully back out of the village possibly to its mother. Standing up she stretched. "Damn dragon" she sighed and rubbed her eyes squinting a bit from the sunlight.
-
Ray had walked back to his anvil, and hefted it onto his hip. He looked about, before thinking aloud. "Maybe I'll sell this thing, and ask my brother for assistance?" Ray shrugged, before looking for a warm place to stay, probably under a bridge or something as he had VERY little money.
-
Grunan headed downstairs, he had studied most of the night. Hopefully Setcho would be ready to accept his help now.
-
-setcho
*walked briskly down the stairs, fully armoured and feeling better than the past day*
-
Geoffrey awoke and leaped out of bed. Setcho had asked the bartender to give him a room, and now he was well-rested and ready for the journey ahead. Whatever that was. He didn't really care. It was something to experience.
He opened his bag and changed into his mage robes. As much as he loved the look of them, he normally preferred to wear his normal clothes instead when roaming about. It was much less eye-catching, plus it was best to keep the robes from wearing down throughout his travels. Now he had a good excuse to wear them.
Geoffrey walked downstairs to meet the others.
-
-setcho
so are you ready guys?
*opening the door*
-
"Yep. Sounds good to me. Lets go"
-
Geoffrey simply nodded and followed the group.
-
-setcho
*hopped on his horse but kept at the same pace as the two on foot*
-
Grunan sighs, and dismisses the sketon, deep in the tombs, it turns to dust. Grunan would have to build his army another time.
-
"This is getting irritating. I'll never find an adventuring party at this rate." Rose was getting dressed in her room and talking to herself. She had decided she was leaving on her own to do some adventuring, there was a tomb not to far away from the village that probably has treasure worth looting. She never heard of any one going in there and it seemed easy enough so she got on her horse and went that way.
(The tomb is the one Grunnan is in by the way.)
-
((Grunan is not in a tomb, the one he visited earlier was in the church's crypt (though there might be an entrance elsewhere I guess)))
-
(Oh than i misread something. Ok than its just a random tomb.)
-
Zaida huffed looking about. "He'll be sorry once I find him, filthy scum" she had said with a whisper beginning to walk with a slight limp although wasn't very noticeable.
-
Rose reached the tomb and got off her horse. There have always been rumors of weird feral animals coming out of this tomb with various deformities. However that couldn't be true...could it? Either way Rose we through the entrance and delving down the steps.
-
Seeing rose afar a a flashback went through her mind. "The traveler?" She asked herself beginning to follow her. Zaida's tail just inches from the floor. "Is that you, the stranger from the pub?"
-
"Huh oh it's you. Am I glad to see you, now I don't have to explore this alone." Rose continued downward hoping Zaida would follow. She didn't have a torch because she could see in the dark just fine. However she didn't notice a trip wire on the ground and trigger a trap. The sound of a mechanical release could be heard behind the walls.
"Huh...EEEEEEEEEEEECK." Rose's voice trailed off as the stairs fell away to reveal a mechanical pitfall. The stairs reset and slowly cranked back into place becoming stairs again.
-
Zaida had entered the tomb watching as this happened her, the hybrids ears laid flat against her head. "Are you fine?" She had asked in a quiet tone although gave a little chill.
-
There was no response or any sign of her except the broken trip wire and a potion she dropped.
......
"Waky, waky poppet." Rose woke up to the sound of a old wretched voice. She tried to sit up but felt restraints holding her down and realized she had a gag in her mandibles (mouth). She looked down and saw she was stripped of her gear and clothes as an old rat in mage robes sniffed at her and prodded her. He was clearly blind as he wasn't looking at her at all.
"Thick exoskeleton, smells of royal jelly...your a thri-keen queen aren't you. It rare that I have guests, and even more so that I get one of your kind let alone a queen. You will be an excellent specimen for my experiments, I just need to see what makes you tick first." He went to a nearby table and brought over a tray of bloody instruments for what looked like surgery. Rose's blood went cold.
"Now shall we begin?"
-
"..." A moment of silence her ears flicked while listening her glowing eyes slightly brightening things near her. Zaida looked down the trip wire. "Well, I suppose I go after?" Her tail whipped the wire having the stairs fell away again, Zaida taking a step and falling down. The stairs resetting once more as she faded down into the dark pit.
-
The rat heard someone falling and went to go get the new specimen but stood right under the shaft.
"Hold on I'll be back."
(Just drop kill him from above. It will make this quick.)
-
(Oh alright I guess xP)
Zaida looked down seeing a figure from below, it wasn't rose from what she saw, and sensing it wasn't a kind fur either. Landing on the rat with great impact her the floor slightly cracked beneath.
-
*Red was stalking through the forest before he falls down a trap*"AHHHH!!!"*he preceeds to smash into the cold stone floor*
-
Earlier in the day Maxwell had gone on another shopping trip. This time he had actually bought something, some light leather armour to go under his robes and a nice high quality sword as well as a sheath to put it in. He had planned to return to the inn but now he was having second thoughts. Maybe he'd visit the church, see if the one in the area is one of those rare examples which you can actually learn from.
-
Ray crawled out from under a few spars of wood, snow stuck to his fur. He stood up, shivering. "I-I need t-to do s-something. N-Nearly f-froze to d-d-death." Ray rubbed his shoulders for warmth, as he looked for the nearest open store, hoping to sell his sword and anvil, maybe even his hammer. He shuddered again, and started off through town.
-
The rat let out one last squeak his spine was snapped in two and he died. Rose couldn't see what was going on from her position but squirmed and mumbled incoherently through the gag.
"Please be the adventurer, please." She thought.
-
Zaida looking down at the rat's nose bleed. She kneeled down her eyes looking coldly to the dead rodents eyes. "Sleep well" she said in a hiss before walking over to where she saw rose strapped down.
-
Rose saw Zaida felt like she was going to cry. The all four arms were held to the table by leather straps and so where her four legs. She didn't have underwear on but then again her biology worked differently than mammals and didn't have breasts or other unmentionables, at least not in plain sight.
-
She looked at rose, she didn't show any emotion, she didn't have much emotions not yet of course since it was just weeks she had fell to the mortal realm. Zaida didn't mind what was being shown at all. instead had Her claws retracting on both hands. The hybrid did the first straps on her wrist then the ones on her ankles. "
-
Rose ripped the gag from her mouth and hugged Zaida as she cried and cried.
"You saved my life! I can't...I-I can't thank you enough..." She continued sobbing. Rose's gear and clothes were on a nearby table with a bunch of other stuff and above it was a sign that said "Stolen property of Grey the Splicer"
-
Zaida sighed as she weeped "Just get yourself dressed" she spoke softly breaking the hug. "If you want to travel we cannot stay here." She finished. "I'm sure there's other dangers that await us, you must get use to it" she said plainly. Looking at rose fixing her clothing
-
"...Ok." Rose took a few minutes to get dressed and when she was done nodded to Zaida to show she was ready.
-
The drag ones eventually gets bored of the bar and leaves, heading back to her house. Her ear perk up at the sound of chattering teeth, she turned around and saw the freezing stranger and rushed over, wrapping her arms and wings around him, trusting that he wouldn't hurt her. "Sir are you alright?! You're ice cold! Let me take care of you dear, my house is just this way if you'll follow me." She looked him over with a worried expression, genuinely concerned for this man.
-
(Changed her clothing a bit, she's wearing similar scout armor from skyrim)
Her glowing eyes which then looked at rose her faded pupils scanning her up and down, but Zaida's body was hard to see, as if she was blending with the dark. Zaida leaned on the stone wall and nudge her head the stairs. "Well lead, your the one wanting an 'adventure'." The hybrid said quietly her tail swaying but oddly she was floating just inches from the floor.
-
Rose was nervous but went down the stairs, this time looking for traps.
Elsewhere in the kingdom of the Thri-keen, there was a panic starting to issue.
"I heard none of the queens have laid the kings egg yet, and there are no more queens to be hatched."
"How is that possible, every generation has a queen lay a kings egg. How is this even possible!?!" This was just some of the rumors being spread and was the most accurate. In the throne room, King Viran was being briefed on the situation.
"What!? That is impossible! Surely there must be one queen left that can give me an heir to my throne." Viran clicked his mandibles in anger. A scribe was brought in with more records that was handed off to the knight captain. He looked at the documents and nodded, shewing the scribe away.
"It appears that we miscounted one queen who has even gone through the metamorphosis. She was exiled for refusing to accept your fertilisation and her duties as a queen. She might be our last hope."
"Than find her and drag her traitorous thorax back here so we can have our heir! I don't care if you have to burn down entire kingdoms just bring her here!"
"Yes your highness." The knight captain left and sent out and order for the capture of Rose Mariland.
-
Zaida watched before she appeared on the second flight of stairs meeting with rose. She then began to walk up with her. "there's no more I can assure you that" the goddess spoke in a soothing voice while doing so.
-
"Ok good. I don't want a trap that will actually kill me outright." Going down the stairs a lot of weird sounding feral animals could be heard from the bottom..
"Do you hear that too?"
-
"Yes, I can" she said her ears flicking from the noise growing curious. She looked in the direction unsure what animals would be in such a concealed isolated pit.
-
As the descended the stairs it opened up to a room full of cages. A lot them had mutated animals in them, looking like they were stitched together. Many of them made odd noises as they entered and scratched at their cage door as they were hungry. In the back was a hulking abomination with three arms and four legs of different anthros. It had two deformed heads that roared and pulled at the chains held it there.
"...that rat made these things." Remembering the bloody surgery tools he had.
(Going off to bed. See you tomorrow.)
-
(Alright, night)
"I see that. It's too bad they ran into him." She said studying the creatures not very disturbed. Zaida sighed under her hood and looked at rose. "Well we kill them correct" she said looking back some cages having dead tests subjects.
-
Ray walked around the town, trying to keep warm. He ducked into the inn for a few minutes, but was chased out by the innkeeper. Ray then walked to the whoever would buy his stuff, and sold his anvil and sword, but kept his hammer. He then bought a simple iron sword, and set out for adventure.
-
In town a fully armed thri-keen patrol was coming through on giant wasps and asking if anyone had seen a pink thri-keen. They also started putting up wanted posters with an artist drawing of Rose and soon bounty hunters began collecting them as the reward was 20,000 gold pieces. It said wanted alive and to bring Rose to the nearest Thri-keen patrol.
...
"Yes I would hate for these things to suffer any longer...but that one may be difficult. " Rose pointed to the one chained against the wall.
-
"Not really, everything is easy to kill. I do it all the time" she whispered the last part as she focused on some, the creatures necks snapping out by one to make things quick so they can continue the journey to wherever they were going.
-
Rose pulled a dagger out and have the creatures a quick stab to the head. The abomination was starting to get really aggressive and pulled even harder at it chains. Soon the wall began to crack around where the chains were locked in.
-
Ray took one of the wanted posters, his paws shaking. He sighed, and approached one of the patrols. "E-Excuse me? T-The posters d-d-don't seem to say w-what the b-bounty has d-done. C-Could you t-t-tell me?"
-
The patrol stopped and glared at the street urchin. Th captain spoke. "She is a traitor to her kingdom. She has tossed aside her duty as a queen and because of it she has endangered her kingdom. However she can still be put to good use."
(By the way this is a made up take on how thri-keen based on my imagination.)
-
Ray cupped his paws in front of his mouth, and blew gently to warm them. "B-But...c-can't you e-elect another?"
-
Zaida was too busy far with with ones down in the hall continuing to kill them with no expression as she watched them fall limp, dead.
-
"No the queens just lay the eggs, the king has all the power as he is the only one who has the capability to help them breed. However this one in particular has the king's egg, an egg that only comes once a generation. It is critical to our kingdoms survival and she needs to go through the metamorphosis to lay it."
...
"Almost done." Rose said just as the abomination broke free. With a roar it charged at Zaida.
-
Ray blinked, and rubbed his shoulders for warmth. "H-Huh. H-Have y-you thought ab-b-bout g-giving the queen m-more power? S-Seems l-like a p-pretty bad deal."
-
Zaida's ears perked and she quickly turned and jumped on one of the cages. The over the creature swiftly. "I love when some try to challenge me" she said but remember the dragon that had beaten her yesterday, making her snarl. Dual swords summoned around her arm and she hissed at the large beast

((So what's going on right now? :| ))
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
The patrol laughed at Ray.
"We wouldn't expect a simple street urchin to understand our traditions. The queens are respected for their duty and are well treated and guarded as the metamorphosis renders them to a defenseless state. All they have to do is lay eggs and care for them, what more could they ask for?"
(This is the basic mentality of this era for you. :/)
Rose acted quickly and threw a bomb at the beast which exploded on impact. The beast screamed in pain and its charge was slowed but it still swung an arm at Zaida.
-
Zaida jumped jabbing the sword deep in its arm which quickly faded away as she jumber back, slashing the back of the legs with her left claw and right sword.
-
Ray sighed, and shuddered again. "O-Oh...a-alright." He blew into his paws again, and started off. "T-Thank you f-for e-explaining."
-
The beast fell to its knees as Zaida slashed them as it held its bleeding arm. The third arm however reached out to grab her.
"If you see this pink thri-keen make sure to come to us. You will receive the bounty listed on the poster." The patrol continued on.
-
*Red was walking through the labyrinth he landed near,his swords lighting up the dark halls*
-
Zaida jumped over her foot slightly hitting against its hand having her fall. She quickly rolled landing in a crouched position. She bared her teeth giving a kick to the neck and having the arms and legs pin with her mind, she began to look dark her eyes glowing brightly, a sick smile growing on her face.
-
Blu watched from a a nearby alleyway
((Can someone tell me what's going on right now :| ))
-
The beast's roars turned to fright as it didn't comprehend what was happening. Rose didn't want to throw another bomb as it would catch Zaida and that would be a mistake in its self.
-
(Angder, setcho, Geoff i have no clue. Acon I have no idea. Ray in the village. Zaida and rose in a temple just outside village. Red is walking through the labyrinth. That's all)
Zaida walked along its side the chest of the creature slightly cutting. "I love the fact that I'll be the last one you'll see before death" she hissed stopping to its neck before beheading the beast.
-
(And thri-keen soldiers have put up bounties of rose.)
"...that's one way to kill it." Rose said stunned by the brutality.
-
Zaida's eyes were black and blinked back to normal realizing Rose was there. She looked at her with a plain face. "Apologies, sometimes I cannot control my rage" she said to rose but it was mostly for the dead beast.
-
"Ok...maybe we should head back to town...we can actually start our travels tomorrow. This was just for some practice."
-
Ray ran back to the general goods store, and purchased a torch. He then ran to the woods, and lit the torch, hoping to catch the fugitive thri-keen before she reached town. "N-No one s-should have t-to live l-l-like that," he whispered to himself, "e-even if s-she's g-g-given the life of l-luxury."
-
Maxwell was lounging around in the bar. He was exceptionally bored. It had seemed he had hit an idle period. He supposed it wasn't too bad. It meant he could relax and try to just focus on what he may do next.
-
Zaida nodded wiping blood off her ears flicking. "Hear that?" She said hearing a muffled voice not to far. "Sounds like someone is near, and cold..."
-
Dawn, or Acon as some knew her, walked along a narrow path in the forest. She wobbled and staggered a bit as she moved, unable to see the path ahead of her. The maggots living her eyes temporarily blinded her, so getting around definitely wasn't easy at the moment.
-
Grunan follows Setcho closely. not sure what to expect. from their journey...
-
"We should see who it is and if their hostile...I think we can take them." Rose went up the stairs as unfortunately there was no real loot except a coin purse with 5 gold pieces.
-
Zaida jumped up the stairs already at the top seeing the raccoon. Looking down at rose. "It's a coon" the hybrid said her ears laying back looking at the rodent. "Hmm."
-
Ray spotted Zaida on the stairs, and spoke. "H-Hello?" Seeing something come from a tomb so readily made Ray very nervous. He'd heard of necromancy, and was prepared for some sort of engagement.
((Oh goodness, I just looked up what a thri-keen was. These are the things that ended my campaign! Horrifying.))
-
She didn't greet the raccoon however she asked. "Now why is the smith wandering about hmm?" She asked her tail swaying and glowing eyes clearly visible as a trail of light escaped them.
-
Ray sighed. "I-I needed money, so I sold my stuff. Hopefully my brother can help me out. Why d-does it m-matter if I-I'm wandering a-about?"
-
"Because you'll end up bumping into your fate, if your carelessly walking through these woods rodent" she said coldly her face hidden and eyes squinted at the racoon.
-
Ray shuddered from the cold. "A-Anyway, I w-was wondering i-if you've seen t-this person." He partially unfolded Rose's wanted poster, keeping the bounty information hidden. "I-I need to s-speak with her."
-
She didn't want to say she knew here or not yet anyways. "Even if I did why would you want to speak with her?" She said with a raised brow.
-
She gets home and begins making steak stew in her cauldron on the fireplace. Singing old Celtic songs that her mother used to sing her when she was young. Letting it sit and cook, she began to set up her altar and began meditating, knowing she needed more power from the gods after she hadn't talked to them in a few days.
-
She looked seeing rose still walking up and growing closer. Looking at the raccoon she began to walk the snow crunching beneath her feet, she walked close, 3 feet. "She'll be up right now" she said walking back to the pit and looking down. "Someone wishes to speak with you."
-
After an hour of being in her trance she awoke and sighed, smiling and thanking Cernunnos for his power. She lit some incense and purred. Her mother was Wiccan before her and she was raised into Wicca, not that she was complaining at all, she loved the gentleness of it all. She checked on her stew and stirred it before beginning to clean.
-
"Oh really? Someone came all the way out here, they could have waited in town." Rose said as she got to the top and saw Ray
"Oh you poor thing you look cold."
(By the way I found a picture that represents Rose. It was done by an artist with the username Queblock on Furaffinity.net.)
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
Ray nodded. "F-Frozen. But t-that's not t-the important issue. Y-You g-gotta leave, or hide."
-
"Why I was just headed back to town? Anyway we should really get you warmed up, I have just the thing." Rose reached into her trench coat for one of her potions.
-
Ray shook his head. "T-There a-are others t-that look like you. T-They're trying t-to make you q-queen."
-
"Other's that look like me...oh you mean thri-keen. I was exiled a long time ago though because I didn't want to go through the metamorphosis. Why would they come looking for me now?"
"There she is!" A cry sounded from the sky. The thri-keen patrol from earlier was on approach riding their giant wasps right towards the group, short swords drawn.
-
Ray dropped on the floor, and covered his head, hoping he would be ignored.
-
The patrol landed and dismounted. Ray was easy to notice.
"Good work street urchin, you helped us find the traitor and will be handsomely rewarded. Now as for you, Rose Mariland, you are coming with us to go be put through the metamorphosis." The soldiers began to approach but Rose backed up.
"The metamorphosis?!? No you can't, I just started traveling."
"Silence! You selfishly keep the kings egg in your womb and we will have you lay it one way or the other."
(We should wait for Zaida.)
-
(Sorry was doing Hw)
Zaida watched, her arms crossed and head lowered slightly although didn't do much but study as she listened slowly squinting her eyes at the patrol under the hood she wore.
-
"Come on." The captain said as he tried to drag Rose towards his wasp.
"No! Let go!" Rose resisted and pushed against him with all four arms and kicking his leg.
"Ow! You little, tie her up." The other soldiers held her down and began tying her up.
"Please help me!" Rose pleaded towards Zaida and Ray.
-
"Guah!" She held her her head and snarled. Zaida went to move but couldn't she stopped trying to talk, frozen. She cringed trying to move. Before disappearing before their eyes.
-
(Sorry had to do chores.)
Rose went silent as Zaida disappeared, her last hope gone. She was loaded onto the wasp and secured. A magic bag was dropped in front of Ray with what sounded like coin.
"To the king." The patrol flew off with Rose in the direction of the Thri-keen kingdom.
-
She had appeared at the front of the village from afar seeing rose and those who carried her off. "Damn realm" she said having a strong migraine, giving one last huff she looked at the patrol as it took rose in the distance to the kingdom. Jumping from the floor she flew in the air, black smoke covering her body slowly her armor began to appear on the hybrid. Although she stayed from a far distance while following, hoping to be led into the kingdom.
-
The wasps were fast and the town was not to far from the border either, so travel was pretty quick. The kingdom of the Thri-keen was bustling, as not a single bug wasn't doing some form of work in the street. Most didn't even look up to see the patrol fly in because they were so busy. The patrol landed within walls of the main castle and dismounted, dragging rose inside the main door to the throne room.
-
Zaida crashed down below the earth cracking beneath her from impact. She gave a calm expressing scanning the kingdom although wasn't impressed, she gave a snarl with disgust.
-
Rose was dragged before King Viran who sat in his throne glaring at her.
"So you are the one who has my egg...you know there's is a sense of irony that I accidentally threw out the kingdoms only hope of survival."
"You didn't throw me out..." Rose mumbled.
"Silence! You dare disrespect your king? You waste my precious time just standing here...well go on then, take her to the metamorphosis chambers. I want my heir now!" The captain nodded and they dragged Rose past the throne room down a long hallway.
-
The doors shook lightly sounds of screams before everything went silent the door swung open lightly blood on her large dual blades, some even on her snout. Whispers were now heard. "Fascinating kingdom although your guards weren't well trained..." She said under her hood, eyes looking at him coldly, her wicked smile hiding under he mask.
-
"How dare you defile my kingdom, guards!" The rafters above became alive with movement as archers took their places and soldiers came down the hallway armed with tower shields and pilums, forming a phalanx to protect the king.
Further down the hall, the captain was running with Rose to get to the queen's chambers.
"Quickly get her into the pod!"
"What of the king?"
"The king is almost near the end of his reign, it is more important to make this one a queen so we can start a new." Rose did not struggle because she had a good guess about who the intruder was but was currently having a conflict of interest. Was her freedom really worth the destruction of her species? Before she could ponder this further she was tossed into cocoon looking thing full of purple liquid.
-
"You are such a fool, haha. I may not have much power here... I'll warn you only once to have them all leave... Or you can help me paint this kingdom Crimson" she hissed pullin. Her hood down and mask falling off her snout. "Your choice, your highness"
-
"You think any of us care to die? My time is coming and this is the survival of our species at stake here. Even if we can't beat you...we will give our lives to delay you as long possible, so a new king can take my place. Now attack!" Drawing his own sword, the king lead the charge on Zaida and the archers opened fired. There was a look of desperation in all their eyes as if they had everything to lose should they fail.

(I gotta go to bed.)
-
(Alright night) "Then Let it be, don't worry I'll be sure to kill the new 'king' if delivered..." She said before blocking with her dual swords swinging, this causing the arrows to snap although some did however made it past to hit her. The hybrid hissed having some turn around coming back to the archers.
Slowly each light in the castle began to fade. As the moon began to rose slowly shining down. She then charged to the army of archers slamming them out of her path and slicing with the jagged dual swords.
-
Ray had sat up after the patrol had left, and sighed. He stood, and started back towards town, a plan set in motion. A few hours later, something stirred in the forest near the town, headed towards the Thri-keen kingdom.
-
(Rose is going to become an npc soon. Just saying.)
The thri-keen patrol was currently hunkered down in the queens room with other servants and castle workers that had armed themselves. Rose's metamorphosis was complete as the cocoon broke open revealing her new form. Her clothes had been eaten away by the purple liquid but that wasn't the odd part as her from the waste down she looked like a giant pink caterpillar that filled quite a bit of the room. Her upper body however was the only thing that looked normal.
"Rose we know this is all very quick and you just went through your metamorphosis, but you need to lay the kings egg." Rose nodded and a servant feed her a jar of royal jelly.
-
At the gate of the thri-keen castle, a massive armored figure knocked on the door.
-
The room was now filled with the archers and King, she had many wounds the worst was just a broken shoulder. Looking back at the door the hybrid spoke under her hood the blood slowly fading off her fur. "Yes?" She replied to the knock.
-
Ray opened the door slightly, and poked his head around the corner. "I-I'm here for my...reward...I suppose. The, what was it, twenty thousand gold?"
-
"I don't think anyone is going to pay you... As you can see" she said to the coin that poked his head in. "I was just done with these fools, take what's left on them..." She had said.
-
(Ray you left your gold at the temple. A thri-keen soldier dropped it at your feet.)
Rose finished her royal jelly and her caterpillar half started to pulse and push as a blue egg came out her backside.
"The kings egg! Our kingdom is saved...but who is supposed to rule while the king is...not 18 years of age." The servants shrugged as this had never happened before and the scholars showed a document to the captain.
"...really, huh that is odd."
-
*red was creeping throught the deep crypts,as skeletons of various species start emerging with a array of weapons*
-
Zaida huffed. "Now where's is the thri-queen and the 'egg' I only hope to have them both executed" she spoke grabbing the Kings crown and tossing it to the raccoon. "Here, take anything you think that's valuable and go buy yourself a drink~" she said soothingly.
-
"Not so fast you fiend." A female Fox in chainmail and carrying a katana and shield enters.
"You won't be executing anyone today." She looked like a mercenary but had a holy symbol of iomodae on her shield.
"We need to get the queen out of here. Quickly there isn't much time." The guard opened a secret passage large enough for Rose to enter and everyone gathered around to help carry her in. The secret passage closed behind them and they broke the mechanism that opens it.
-
"You don't command me... Your nothing. I'll do what I'll please fox." She hissed Looking as they did this. "waste of your damn time anyways Zaida" she spoke to herself. "Soon~" before walking and disappearing before reaching the door.
-
*red looks back at the skeletons following him*
-
"Pfft...silly girl. She should learn some respect." She pulled out a holy symbol and began to give blessings to the bodies.
The thri-keen had escaped and with Rose. Rose became the actual ruler of the Thri keen as old tradition dictated that "the queen who birthed the king shall be crowned ruler so long as there is no king alive or capable to take the thrown." She will remember Zaida's betrayal and will take it to heart in the future.

-
((I imagine Seirra wielding something like the Dawnbreaker from skyrim XD ))
-
Ray furrowed his brow, and then nodded. "Right...I left it back in town...I remember where!" He pulled away from the door, and began the long journey home.
A figure on horseback approached Acon, his features hidden from view by a simple cloak. His voice, however, betrayed a sort of commanding tone, and seemed to illicit respect from all who heard. "Excuse me, m'lady? You appear to be lost."
-
Acon turned her head to look at Ray and offered a smile. "No my good man, just blind." She said matter of factly.
-
((I-It's not Ray, Acon.))
The figure smiled. "I believe I can help with that."
-
((Oops. XD sorry. It's not Acon either. Her name is dawn but I keep forgetting.))
She shook her head and waved a paw nonchalantly. "There's nothing to help with."
-
The figure laughed heartily. "At least let me get you to town, yes? I'd hate to find your corpse in the woods upon a hunt."
-
Dawn shrugged. "I don't know what good it'll do but alright." She held up a paw to the figure, some of her fur falling off as she did so.
-
The figure reached out, and pulled Dawn onto his horse. "Hold tight, miss!" The figure spurred his mount, and shot off towards town. If one listened closely, the forest sounded like hundreds, if not thousands, of beings were moving towards the town. As the figure broke free from the forest, the sound stopped. The figure removed his cloak, revealing a glorious set of golden armor, and that he was another purple racoon, though a little more battered and scarred.
-
*Red was looking at the skeletons whom were following him,not attacking...just...staring and...following*
-
(Sorry I wasn't on yesterday, I was busy.)
Sierra was summoned to the thri-keen throne room, which has been cleaned up since the attack, as she wasabout to depart. She entered the throne room where Queen Rose rested in front of the throne wearing a regal dress which did nothing to hide her bulbous worm body. She was being feed royal jelly by one servant as two other servants carefully collected the eggs that came out her backside in baskets. Rose raised her hand to the royal jelly feeder and spoke to Sierra.
"So you plan to leave us Sierra at our most desperate hour? We need able bodies now more than ever to defend the kingdom."
"I wish I could stay and help but I fear I have more pressing matters elsewhere." Sierra said.
"I will not stop you but I do ask one favor...should you find Zaida on your travels, I want you to personally deliver me her head."
"The fiend will be no difficulty, your majesty." Sierra did a respectful bow and left the throne room and rode off on her horse.
-
The scarred raccoon set Dawn on the ground, pointed her towards town, and then rode off into the distance.
Ray wandered out of town, wearing a simple set of warm clothing. He spotted Dawn, and smiled. "Hello, miss! Didn't think I'd see you again."
-
Sierra road into town on her horse. She had found a nearby stable to leave her horse and headed to the tavern.
-
Zaida was sitting in the forest the animals didn't mind. A fawn drank from the small stream as a few squirrels were perched on a rock. Meanwhile Zaida was reading, a book filled with legends, although what most didn't know is that these stories were real. The goddess sighed as she read through her tail swaying, petting the soft grass.
-
Sierra was sitting in her room at the tavern sipping some cheap wine wondering how she was to kill Zaida. She had never fought someone with the power to take on the entire thri-keen royal guard by themselves and wondered how she could compare. Than she remembered her mission, and her vow of vengeance.
"...if I can't take someone of her caliber...how am I to kill Yaezhing? Iomadae, please tell me the right path." Sierra prayed and a light shown through her window and warmed her fur. A vision of Zaida out in the forest came to her and she new it was from her god.
"...thank you." Sierra armed herself and went to stable to retrieve her horse before setting out.
-
Zaida licked her fingers and flipped the page. She held a calm expression under her hood and huffed some mist Escaping her mouth from the cold air. "Finally some rest" she said. "Not that I need it, but does sooth me" she laid down continuing to read. Her tail balanced the book as she rested her head on a mossy stone her ears moving slightly from the animals and tree's around her.
-
Sierra road her horse in the direction of where she had seen Zaida in the vision. It was getting difficult for her horse to traverse the terrain so she dismounted, tied the horse to a tree and pressed onward.
-
The fawn jumped off hearing noises. The birds went a bit silent. Zaida's ears turned slightly curious of what was near, although she didn't want to seem aware so she kept her eyes glued on the book
-
Stealth was never her strong suite as Sierra came into view and saw Zaida.
"So you are the one who betrayed my employer."
-
"I suppose you can say that" she said without looking up to the stranger, flipping the pages, a few torn out making Zaida huff and flip again. "Is that a problem?"
-
"She asked for your head...but I wanted to know why?" Sierra trying not to sound hostile.
-
"Wasn't planning... to what was it 'betray' your new ruler" she spoke calmly. "I was obviously too late, simply wasn't my intention is all. She's already demanding. For what my head? Already becoming like the king. Rage, abusing her power"
-
*Red was walking across a swampy landscape*
-
"Not rage...fear. She heard that you were prepared to kill her and the bodies you left behind didn't reassure her. She is scared more than anything and your head is the only reassurance she need to know she is safe. I doubt an apology would even work."
-
She chuckled "It's was a threat, many furries do it. Your queen worries to much, if she continues that behavior, others, especially others kingdoms will know it's fear they then will come to raid her castle" she replied. "But if not that, threatening me will do no good, it's practically begging me to."
-
*Red looked around the swamp*
-
"Well remember she has never had any kind of power before, she has always lived in fear. I was hoping there would be someway to ease her nerves by speaking with you and finding out more about you, but you don't even seem to have remorse."
-
A fawn jumped in red's view, it stopped in place looking at the ragnos before prancing off.
"I do just not much for you furs" she replied. "Still getting use to the mortal realm" She said casually under her hood and sighed. "You furries are odd..." She shook her head as she traced pictures in the pages in the book.
-
*red follows the deer,before a swamp golem grabs him from behind a tree*
-
"We may be odd but we still are worth giving a chance. You may come to enjoy our presence. By the way...you talk as if you are not from the material plane...from where do you hail?"
-
The fawn squirmed and squeaked, a bit frightened of the golem unsure it was a friend or foe.
"From a forbidden place I cannot explain. Not that I don't want to but I cannot remember, no one can" She said plainly. Tossing the book before it hit the ground it faded away.
-
"Hmm...I only know of the plain of shadow and the plain of light. My god lives in the plain of light, my enemy Yaezhing is on the plain of shadow. If you hail from either it would seem like the plain of shadow is more your style, since I saw what you did with the lights back at the castle."
-
The fawn squirmed and squeaked, a bit frightened of the golem unsure it was a friend or foe.
"From a forbidden place I cannot explain. Not that I don't want to but I cannot remember, no one can" She said plainly. Tossing the book before it hit the ground it faded away.
*it pets the fawn with its mossy hand*"Pretty puppy"
-
"Perhaps but I'm the goddess of night, darkness... I am far more superior to shadow and light however doesn't mean I'm an enemy." She said resting against a rock her hood sliding down to reveal the hybrid face. "Now are you going to continue to talk or leave? I'd like some peace and quite. Haven't had any in this realm" she sighed.
The fawn huffed resting a bit but did pant still showing slight fear as the gentle giant pet her softly.
-
*he keeps petting before letting the fawn go*"bye bye"*he says in his slow voice*
-
The small fawn licked it's mossy finger and pranced off deeper into the forest it lived in.
-
*he looks at red,slowly walking*
-

Buggy has large compact eyes with yellow pupils and appears to wear red lipstick.

Personality: Buggy has a very cruel and ruthless personality and loves killing. He kills everything in his way, even if it is irrelevant to his mission. He also has a reputation for being extremely efficient in his job, killing anyone who poses even the most miniscule potential threat to accomplishing his goals. He will not react to taunts and is emotionless to the point where one could liken his emotional state to that of an insect. He has a hatred of sorcerers, due to past memories of the sorcerer who turned him into the monster he is today.
Clothing/armor: He wears a navy blue polka dotted shirt dotted punk, a light purple veil around his waist, and pink pants. Buggy also wears a number of rings around his arms and legs which bound the size of his muscles. When he removes them, his muscles swelled up to their true size, making him a muscle bound giant.
Weapons: Claws, Teeth, and his insects.
Abilities: Insect Production, Insect Traits, and Enhanced Strength
Explain abilities:
INSECT PRODUCTION
-Buggy has the ability to store and hatch insects inside his body.
-[He can have approximately 10,000 parasitic eggs, which he hatched in his esophagus before sending out, through his mouth. It should also be noted that these bugs can vary in species, so some are stronger than others. However, sending out a single bug uses about 1,500 calories, meaning that me must consume greater amounts of food before sending out bugs to fight for him.
-Buggy can also fire off broken eggs, which explode on impact, like bullets by heating up his breath through shivering and spitting them out. He can only spit out a few at a time though, rather than in clusters.
INSECT TRAITS
-He can fly with his cockroach wings, and has impressive speed and reflexes.
-He has eyes going beyond the level of compound, with each having one million individual lenses; he could use them to see even the smallest object.
ENHANCED STRENGTH
-When removing the set of rings he kept around his arms, waist, and legs, Buggy’s muscles and body grew to nearly double his own size, making him faster and much more physically powerful.
Occupation: Contract Killer
Extra: He was take away as a child by an evil sorcerer who began conducting painful experiments on him, mutation his body and giving him the aspects of a insect. One day though, Buggy was able to kill the sorcerer and escaped out into the world. Now a contract killer, Buggy seeks to become stronger as searches for powerful opponents, cutting them down one by one. However, his interest is peaked when he hears of a goddess by the name of Zaida...

Within the empty church of a nearby village, a male pink feline with yellow cockroach wings and a very odd assortment of clothing was sitting at one of the chairs with his head down. The priest of the church was walking by with a candle when the pink feline then asked, "Do the gods really listen to us, father?"
"Of course, young man." The priest said in a sweet and gentle tone, "The gods look after this world with forgiving hearts. Is there something that you wish to ask them?"
"...Yes, there is." The pink feline said as he then stood up and, with lightening speed, grabbed the priest by the scruff of his shirt and lifted him in the air. The Feline then asked with a curvy smile and cutesy yellow eyes, "Where can I find a god?"
"W-why do you ask!?" The priest then said, panicking as his legs wiggled in the air. With an amused chuckle, the feline smiled wider as he then said, "Because I intend to fight one in splendid combat! Now, tell me where I can find a god, or else!" Suddenly, the feline's mouth began to open wide (a foot and a half!) as red eyes peered through the darkness of the feline's mouth, as well as insect like chirping. The priest screamed in horror, and began to talk.... Meanwhile, the village was being assaulted by hoards of giant insects of different species. They dive-bombed buildings and attacked the villagers, but suddenly stopped as the feline stepped out of the church, with blood dripping from his mouth. "Come, my children!" The feline then called to his insects, "Today, I shall stomp the great goddess Zaida like an ant!!!"
-
"Perhaps but I'm the goddess of night, darkness... I am far more superior to shadow and light however doesn't mean I'm an enemy." She said resting against a rock her hood sliding down to reveal the hybrid face. "Now are you going to continue to talk or leave? I'd like some peace and quite. Haven't had any in this realm" she sighed.
The fawn huffed resting a bit but did pant still showing slight fear as the gentle giant pet her softly.
"I'll guess I'll leave, I'm not powerful enough yet to take on a goddess." Sierra turned to leave but had one more thing to say.
"Though...when I do get stronger...I would like to spar with you. No killing, just a friendly competition."
-
(Kyle is a mod just letting the players know)
"Maybe, but I'm not making any promises..." She spoke lightly to the fur while laying down thinking from what the priest had said and huffed resting her head against the mossy stone and her tail in the small stream.
-
Dawn walked along a stream with her ears pinned back and her stubby tails swaying.
-
The pink feline, accompanied by his army of insects, fly through the sky with bolting speeds, with the feline on hot pursuit for the goddess of night. He kept his curvy, almost nonthreatening smile as his eyes peered around, as if he was in search for something. "If I must gain the attention of this puny goddess", he thought to himself, "Then I must strike at her most vulnerable spot... Those she cares about!"
-
Zaida looked at the furry. "Well be gone, I would like some rest" she spat and watched the sky grow dark and some clouds move about. The sun slowly began to disappear behind the tree's and mountains before it was out of sight. The moon however soon began to show glowing brightly down making the mythical forest gleam.
-
"I'll see you around than I guess." Sierra rode off towards the kingdom of the thri-keen, as for some reason that had been part of her vision.
-
Suddenly, Talia could see a strange mass above the kingdom she was headed to. The mass was dive bombing the kingdom and damaging buildings.
-
The thri-keen were not execting an attack from the skies but we're ready none the less. They were on high alert after Zaida's raid on the kingdom and mobilized their troops and wasp riders in a matter of minutes to meet this attack. Even the peasants took up arms to defend the kingdom.
(Thri-keen are like the middle east, when attacked they fanatically defend their kingdom to the last man.)
Sierra rode right for the castle and entered the throne room.
"Queen Mariland, the castle is under attack. I am here to defend you." Rose looked up from her jelly with fear.
"Is it Zaida?"
"No..."
"Than defend this point at all costs! No one will harm me or my egg." Rose felt relieved that it wasn't Zaida.
-
Insects of all sorts were assaulting the city. Swarms of giant ants and flies dive-bombed, monstrous bugs destroyed buildings and other flying insects attacked the wasp fliers. While all of the was happening, the pink furry stayed in the central mass of insects in the sky, grinning as he watched the chaos.
-
"Those fools send insects to attack my city. They will soon realize that the Thri-keen are masters of insects! Send out the big druids!" The captain did as Rose asked and sent word to the druids.
Soon thri-keen druids where on the field and the soldiers backed off to let them do their thing. Soon a large number of the giant insects that were attacking began to calm down and some even went after the pink furry.
-
The pink feline's face twitched a second as he saw the enemy's insects, as well as his own insects, heading straight for him. However, he only placed his hand over his mouth and giggled, saying to himself, "The only reason I use my insects is because it's such a pain to fight directly. But oh well, anyone who can't serve a purpose is garbage, so ain't it ok to kill them?"
With that, the pink feline flew towards the mass of insects and, almost in the blink of an eye, he was at the other side of the mass, as the insects were slashed to pieces. The pink feline then landed at the front of the castle and began to make his way into the thrown room.
-
"Hmm...seems I'll have a challenge...get the queen out of here! I will handle this intruder myself." The soldier protecting Rose and the Egg began to carry them to teleporter room. Sierra drew her Katana and strapped on her shield heading right for the internet's location.
-
(I gotta head to bed, but ill be back tomorrow! :D)
-
(Ok fight paused.)
-
Ray had returned to town, and purchased a nice fur cloak. He took what money he had left, and secreted it away in an old crate just outside the town. Ray sighed, and went to go try and hack down trees for a fire.
-
"Hmm...seems I'll have a challenge...get the queen out of here! I will handle this intruder myself." The soldier protecting Rose and the Egg began to carry them to teleporter room. Sierra drew her Katana and strapped on her shield heading right for the internet's location.
The pink feline giggled at Sierra's bravery and said with his usual grin, "I assume that you are the strongest person in this kingdom, yes?"
-
"Maybe...but it's hard to tell when there's someone like you standing in the same exact castle. However, we can decide right here and now who is the strongest." With that a halo slowly formed above Sierra's head as angelic wings sprouted from her back. A blinding brilliant light filled the room as she adopted a fighting stance.
-
Hr covered his face for a moment, then looked back. "Oooooh, you have wings too?" The pink feline says with a wide grin, his cockroach wings stretched out and ready for battle, "Then let us fight!!" With a loud screech, the feline charged straight towards her, with his claws extended.
-
Sierra intercepted the charge and shield bashed the feline aiming right for face.
-
The feline managed to block with his bare hands as he then shoved it out of the way and, to Sierra's horror, three rows of razor sharp teeth exploded from his mouth as he tried to bite her head.
-
Sierra smacked the teeth away with her shield and aimed her Katana for the felines open mouth.
-
The feline was able to bite hard on the katana as it was shoved into his mouth, preventing Sierra from pulling it out. Grinning, the feline then flew into the air, carrying Sierra with him, as he then tried to punch her hard in the face.
-
Sierra couldn't block the punch but continued to push on the Katana with surprising strength driving it deeper into the felines mouth.
"I'll drive my sword through the back of your head."
-
The blade existed straight through the back of the feline's head. After a short pause, however, the feline made a sadistic grin as he then grabbed her shoulders and pulled himself toward her, pushing the katana deeper through his mouth as his many rows of teeth tried to chomp on her head. This guy's will power was overwhelming.
-
"I've come to far to die now!" Sierra let go of her Katana and dropped her shield grabbing both the upper and lower jaw of the feline.
"Iomadae! Grant me the strength to over come this fowl demon." Her halo burned brightly and her wings flapped strongly till the feline was pinned up against the ceiling. Sierra than began to pry at the felines jaw, trying to separate it like she saw a very famous barbarian do to a lion.
-
The feline grabbed her arms as he opened his mouth as wide as he could. Sierra saw a yellow light come from the feline's throat as a yellow ball of energy came out and, upon contact with Sierra, exploded.
-
Sierra was flung back to the ground with a crash. She looked hurt badly, but she managed to quickly heal some of her injuries with a glowing hand.
"I need some help if I'm going to kill this one." Sierra muttered as she closed her hand and opened it revealing a golden butterfly which disappeared in second.
Over where ever Zaida was a golden butterfly appeared and fluttered in her direction.
-
With horrifying speed, the feline flew straight down to Sierra and delivered a fury of fast punches all over her body. "Die, die DIE!!!" He cried out sadistically.
-
(Why don't we pause and wait for Zaida.)
-
(kk :D)
-
Zaida eyes were closed softly enjoying the night. Until she opened her eyes seeing a golden butterfly flutter about her ears flicking and squinting her eyes at the insect.
-
The insect landed on her head and showed her a mental image of the destruction done to the thri-keen kingdom and the battle taking place between Sierra and the pink feline. Sierra appeared to be losing.
-
Standing over a badly beaten Sierra, the pink feline laughed and said, smiling with his rows of teeth visible, "That was fun!" The feline then sat down with his legs crossed besides Sierra and said, looking straight at her, "But you were just an appetizer, my lovely. The full course I desire is none other than the goddess of night, Zaida. Tell me where I can find her, and I may spare your life." The feline's smile was both frightening and menacing, as drool oozed from his raser-sharp teeth.
-
Ray had, after purchasing his cloak, had wandered off into the forest. He found a tomb left untouched...by anything. The plants nearby had died, and the trees had no leaves upon them. Even the birds seemed to maneuver around the tomb entrance, but Ray didn't seem to notice. In fact, he felt...drawn to the place. And so, without so much as a message to ANYONE, Ray stepped inside.
-

The feline then sat down with his legs crossed besides Sierra and said, looking straight at her, "But you were just an appetizer, my lovely.

The feline's smile was both frightening and menacing, as drool oozed from his raser-sharp teeth.
Sierra simply spit on the feline's face.
"She will rip your ugly face off you know."
-
With an emotionless frown, the feline grabbed Sierra and threw her hard against the wall. "WHERE ARE YOU, GODDESS!?" He the screamed to the top of his lungs, "COME, AND LET US FIGHT TILL THE DEATH!!!"
-
Sierra hit the wall with a sickening thud but was still awake. Several things felt broken and she could barely move.
"Where are you Zaida..." She whispered.
-
Zaida having the butterfly show her this made her snarl. She began to bolt through the forest until she skid to a stop her ears flicking from the roar, pupils constricting, Hearing how the voice had called out it was definitely a threat. Zaida hissed jumping from the floor and floating above the forest to see the kingdom ahead and sped towards black smoke surrounding her a bit of white lights like stars in the smoke. Arriving she slammed through the doors her armor summoning around her body.
-
(I'm going to be gone for a few days, Sierra will be cared for by the Thri-keen basically since she is really hurt.)
-

She began to bolt through the forest until she skid to a stop her ears flicking from the roar, pupils constricting, Hearing how the voice had called out it was definitely a threat. Zaida hissed jumping from the floor and floating above the forest to see the kingdom ahead and sped towards black smoke surrounding her a bit of white lights like stars in the smoke. Arriving she slammed through the doors her armor summoning around her body.
The feline turned his body to see the goddess he desired to fight, and began to drool as a wide smile stretched across his face. "Finally!" He said, holding his arms out as his eyes bulged out, "Someone worth my time! Oh how long have i waited for an opponent like this!" His stomach began to bulge and vibrate as he then added, "Hm, it seems my children are eager to meet you as well!"
-
*Red was sleeping*
-
"It's ashame I can't say the same" her voice boomed the ought our her eyes glowing brighter as she flew above the floor giving a slight snarl. "I'll be the judge of a worthy opponent"
-
"My name is Buggy the Parasite!" He the added, "And before you make your last breath, I'll reveal to you the name of my master as a souvenir to take to hell!" With in insect-like snarl, the feline extended his wings and dashed towards Zaida, with his teeth and claws extended.
-
"What a creative name" she clapped twice slowly as her face was plan under the hood her mask summoning covering her mouth and nostrils. She flew towards the insect like feline the lights fading out.
-
Buggy began to fire a barrage of yellow balls of energy at Zaida.
-
The castle dark Zaida disappeared in thin air the energy balls flying by hitting the walls before she reappeared just to him ramming him back.
-
Buggy landed into his feet, growling as he then extended his mouth and began to shoot giant flies at Zaida, retracting his teeth so that the flies wouldn't get
killed in his mouth.
