The Warped (2nd Party)

[Srgntcuddles]

Constance handed over the meat as offered, leaving two hunks for themselves. It was starting to smell a little funny anyway so it was a good thing to get rid of. Not to mention it was much lighter. She put the bag back on her back reveling in the fact of how light it was now. After that she unfolded the map and held it open in front of her to look at it. "Well. We're here, if the information is correct." she said motioning to the spot with her head. "And...That's the Sacatoma plains, I'm assuming the check point is along the road. Passed it, Cherry fields. With the big beasties. Then the smooth sailing." she continued. "So What can we expect in the next town? Do you know, Lincoln?"

max walked over and looked at the map with constance. he examined it while listening to constance. looks good, to bad this map doesn't show us exactly where all the cheakpoints are, then avoiding them would be alot easyer." he looked away from the map and over to mortis calmly. "would you like me to carry the flint and magnesium?" he asked walking away from constances side and over to mortis calmly. he stoped about a meter away from her and waited for her responce, while feeling stupid for forgetting to grab his bag back at the tavern.

Lincoln turned the carriage around and was about to head out, but indulged them the information before parting. "There is a small town called Carpathia past the fields. It's a small fishing town, but it's very high traffic for the military. You might find quite a bit of trouble out there. But then again, that's why you were given those clothes. I hope to see you in the future." The carriage sprinted off into the opposite direction at the crack of Lincoln's whip.

"Sure, I mean do what you want." Mortis was waiting on the others but feeling a little impatient. She looked around locating some thickets of trees. "Either way, we need to get moving, I mean, you never know when a patrol might wander. Let's at least get out of view, then we can figure out where to go." She began to walk towards them, gesturing for the others to follow. "I don't like being in the open even if Lincoln says we're good for now."

[Srgntcuddles]

"Mortis is right. Let's get moving. No time like the present!" Constance said somewhat cheery. She put the map away and went over to Macid offering her hand to him. "Come on. No time to sit around, we have a long trip ahead of us." she said with a warm smile. She was trying to be more positive, hopefully the others would be able to use her positive energy to be more happy. If the group would be happier their performance would be better.

Macid looked up at Constance's hand for a bit before getting up on his own. He didn't want to be so rude to Constance, but he was still sour about his book not working. His furrowed his brow and his mind raced as he walked towards the thicket where Mortis was going. "Why didn't it work? I wrote the name down like I saw, it should have started writing his thoughts. It worked when I tested it the first time, back when we first got here, and the words disappeared when I wrote down the weapons the first heroes had, why the ***** didn't it work this time?"

Moon cooed and followed close after Mortis. She rubber her face against her leg and stayed at her side. The brisk breeze blew over the air and mixed well with the morning sun. As they progressed, it was very silent, almost too silent, save for the rustling of the tall fields. After a couple hours, though, the loud sound of a low snoring could be heard, as well as two large, black horns sticking up in the air.

[Goblin Cat 😸]

Mortis put her hand down and pet the dragon as she walked. She wondered why Moon was suddenly affectionate, but didn't mind it. She paused when she heard the snoring. It made her nervous as she located its source. She brought the hand that wasn't preoccupied with petting moon up to her lips as she faced the others, again indicating silence without shooshing. She then proceeded to point to the horns poking up out of the grass.

[Srgntcuddles]

Constance walked along with the others watching Moon's playful antics towards Mortis. Luckily she didn't seem to be sour at it considering the previous day she didn't seem to want anything to do with her and "her animals". When Mortis silently hushed them suddenly she looked to where she was pointing and saw horns protruding from the tall grass. Her heart practically jumped into her chest at the sight. "Is that one of those behemoths? Is it all that big? Maybe it just has really long horns. But...The snoring. This could be bad...My animals have a knack for stirring up trouble." she thought. She looked at her monkey on her shoulder who gave a big toothy grin trying to act innocent. "No funny stuff outta you." she whispered sternly at the monkey.

The several hours of walking and venting in his head helped Macid calm down without outwardly showing it. The silence that surrounded them made him uneasy, causing him to look around every so often to try and see if they were bring watched, but never saw anyone or anything. When they made their way to the tall grass, he was hesitant to go in. Any animal or those behemoths could come charging at them, and they wouldn't know it until it was too late. The fear of being left alone was worse than being killed by surprise though, so he followed in after the others. When he heard the loud snoring, and saw the sign from Mortis, he hunkered down and tried to slow his breathing to remain calm. He didn't know what these behemoths looked like, but decided he didn't really want to know.

[serpington]

max followed the others into the grass slowly, he madew sure to watch off to the sides, he had  feeling that something bad was going to happen soon and wished he knew wether to trust his gut or if he was just hungry. he ended up passing macid quietly before hearing what sounded like snoring. he crouched down when mortis signaled for them to be quiet and seeing the two horns she was pointing out was a heck of an insenive to do as he was told. he watched constance telling her monkey to behave and couldn't help buy smile at it's reaction before moving closer to moris and quietly whispering to her, "what do you think we should do? we could go around it but there might be more not far from here."

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

True to Max's guess, there were more, after they walked past the first one. There were behemoths of all different sizes. Moon was so scared herself, that she was barely able to make step after step. As they continued to trek on slowly, they even saw a couple that were sleeping that most of their bodies were over the grass, and up to 15 feet in height from the ground to the top of their backs. Some of them stirred, making Moon completely stop and give off a small "meep!".

[Goblin Cat 😸]

Mortis merely looked at Max and shrugged before she began to move on again. She wanted to use her natural camouflaging, but she thought that it would seem insensitive to do so. She crept along, trying to get Moon to move when she stopped, petting her when she got scared to comfort her. She looked around at all the creatures, a little intimidated herself, but said nothing and kept going. The faster she could move the group along, the faster they could get out of their situation.

[Ares the Ram]

Macid kept along, being the rear of the group as the marched through the grass. As they neared the larger ones, with their backs rising out of the grass, Macid kept his eyes and ears open, being careful to not bump into any. "These things are huge. Guess that's why they're called behemoths. I kinda wish I could see one up close, just to see what it looks like." When Moon meeped at one of them stirring, Macid froze in spot. He didnt dare move a muscle, for fear of disturbing them anymore than they already were. The group kept going however, and Macid hurridly as quietly as he could to catch up.

[serpington]

max returned mortis' look before continuing, through the grass, seeing the other behemoths. "i hate being right sometimes..." he whispered as the group continued. he tensed up almost everytime one of the beasts stirred. max gulped quietly, his hand resting on Ramsey's handle ready for if he was needed. max hoped he didn't need to draw Ramsey but rathered the thought of the group actually getting past an obstacle without something trying to make it as hard as possible. all of a sudden he heard moons meep, a cold shiver traveled the length of his spine as he continued, carefull to make as little noise as possible.
