The Warped (2nd Party)

[serpington]

Max's smile grew wider as he felt the greatest thing short of morphine at this point, his constand writhing and movement had worked one of the knots loose, he waited till the guards were distracted with a noise outside to use his tail to slip between the ropes holding his hands, loosening them while keeping them tight so the guards didn't notice. he kept laughing knowing full well what would happen if he stayed tied up like that for much longer. "go get ramsey from the other tent then come get me!" he yelled, hoping the guards would teke it as a chalenge rather than instructions for anyone willing to help

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

As Max yelled, one of the men got around him and knocked him in the back of the head with the scabbard of his claymore, knocking him out. "Thank you for that, Mason. Now remove his head before I have to listen to that insolent whelp anymore." The man nodded and drew his claymore from its scabbard and laid the blade on Max's neck to take aim and raised the blade over his head, ready to drop the blade and remove Max's head.

She began to rush when she heard the guard giving orders to remove someone's head. It was challenging, but she finished the drawing, if only because she was getting more familiar with its strokes.  Mortis held the book out pointing it away from her. "Go blow one of them up, or something, get the guards to go away, I dunno, just don't hurt Max," she whispered. She hoped that her drawing was good enough to do some kind of damage. She was beginning to realize what she was doing at this point, and more importantly that she wasn't sleeping.

Constance looked Macid in the eyes when he raised her head up. The peck on the cheek was unexpected but she smirked and blushed a bit. She was glad she met another feline like her, it made things easier. She sat up and wiped her eyes with her wrist. "Okay...Let's go find them..." she said softly. She forgot she had a cane now and stood up, trying to walk without it.

[Ares the Ram]

Macid helped Constance up from her sitting position. When she tried walking, he held her steady. "Easy, let me get your cane." Making sure he was still quiet, he reached down and picked up the cane the mayor had given him and gave it to Constance. "There you go, much better. Let's get our bags and go look for the others now." Macid went and picked up his bag with Anon and the gold bar and Constance's bag with the silver bracelet and gave it to her. He held her free hand and looked at her. "Whenever you're ready Constance."

The little gnome hobbled over behind the executioner, but had to explode prematurely, just before the blade reached Max's neck. The explosion was enough to throw soldier over off balance and over Max, face digging into the ground. The captain got up, sword drawn right away, "Dammit! He has reinforcements! Quickly! Find them! Kill them all! Yanis! Grab take the boy away and execute him quickly!"

[Goblin Cat 😸]

Mortis eventually went from second guessing herself to all out worrying. What the hell am I doing? she thought, after hearing what the guard had said. Oh well, I'm this far into it, I better make it worth it. She closed her book and put it inside of her bag, stashing it beside the building, her heart practically leaping through her chest. She hoped that Max would get away seeing how she remembered that they weren't allowed to kill her... It would at least buy time for the others to come help, if they even realized that she was in trouble... IF Max did get away. There were so many what if scenarios running through her mind that she just completely shut down on coming up with a plan and ran through the side of the tent. Her action pulled the wall inward until the whole thing collapsed on top of the people inside, including Max. She laid there for a moment in the pile of cloth and camoflauged, slipping out of her pants again so that she would be completely invisible. God I hope these guards are dumb, please let them be dumb, she pleaded mentally as she began to squirm within the folds of the tent, looking for a way out or waiting for someone else to move.

[Srgntcuddles]

Constance took the cane and grimaced a little. "This makes me feel old..." she said with a light chuckled. She took her back when Macid handed it to her and put it on. "Thanks." she said before he took her hand. Once outside Constance's ears perked at the sound of a far off noise, sounding like an explosion. "Did you hear that?" she asked Macid, looking towards where the sound came from. "You don't think...Mortis?" she continued. She was growing worried now, putting two and two together.

[Ares the Ram]

Macid turned his head towards the explosion, hearing Constance ask what is was. "It sounded like Mortis' gnome, didn't it?" He tried to reassure her that Mortis was allright. "Mortis is fine, but we should check it out anyway. Can you summon one of your animals? Just in case." Macid was beginning to become a little worried too, wondering if Max and Mortis were allright. He did his best to hide it and tried to seem brave so Constance wouldn't have a panic attack. That would be the last thing they needed now and they had no time for it.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Far off from the village, the camp was turning into chaos. The two soldiers in the tent cursed as they got tangled in the tent, having lost sight of where they dropped Max. "Captain! One is over here! They're trying to get him out of here! Quickly! Before they escape!" The captain ran over, seeing the mess of tent flying all over the place and unable to see any distinct bodies. He waited and thrusted forward as he could guess, but it would clank against one of his men's armor, and he would have to back out as a sword would thrust back through the portion of the crazy tent. "They're attacking us, sir! Help us!"

[Goblin Cat 😸]

Shit, shit shit! Mortis cursed in her mind. She ducked just in time to avoid getting slashed and laid still on the ground under the tent. She almost felt like crying, but at this point doing such a thing wouldn't help her at all. Where the hell is Max? She thought, doing her best to scoot a path under the tent without being noticed. She knew there would be no way of getting to him since there was going to be a wall between them even if she was under one of the folds. She also knew that it wouldn't be long before the men found her. Without thinking she noticed an exit from the tent and two legs. Without much thinking, she grabbed the pair of ankles and jerked, attempting to make the soldier fall. If they were going to catch her, she sure as hell wasn't going to go out with a fight. At this point her panic began to cause her adrenaline to take over, which was a relief because even though she was attempting to be offensive, she was still shaking. These men had swords; the only thing she had was the advantage of them being blind and not knowing where she was. From the men's shouts she assumed she grabbed the captain, which could be the worst, or best decision she had made so far.

[Srgntcuddles]

Constance agreed that it did sound like Mortis' gnome. "I'm sure they're alright...Max has his sword. He can protect Mortis." she said to assure herself. She knelt down and etched the wolf rune into the ground and placed her palm on it to summon it. "I don't know how fast we'll get there...I don't think I can run. Too bad Moon wasn't here, maybe she could just carry me. Heh..." She said, trying to make light of the situation. She got back to her feet and started off with Macid as quickly as she could go. "Damn my injuries...I'm the next most capable fight in the group. I'm letting two of my friends down." she cursed at herself in her head.

[Ares the Ram]

Macid nodded as he walked beside Constance towards the sounds off in the distance. "Yea, they can take care of themselves." Macid really wished he was strong enough to carry Constance so they could get there faster, but figured he'd be tired when they got there anyway so it was better the slow way. He looked up to the night sky when she mentioned Moon, hoping to see a silhouette of her flying. "Where is she? I hope she is all right too." Macid forgot about trying to be brave and was now starting to worry about everyone else with Constance.

[serpington]

max started to wake up, a familiar ringing in his ears for an unknown reason, the back of his head aching and throbbing, his scaled skin crawling with pent up energy, he tried to look around but couldn't see much more than the fabric covering him. he tried to crawl away from the voice of the captain slowly progressing towards the edge of the fallen tent.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

The captain finally spotted a figure crawling away distinctly, it was Max. He roared as he leaped towards him, sword facing down, and thrust into the sheets. The sword pierced Max's tail, and pretty much nailed him to the ground. He then pulled out a knife from his sash, "'Tis the end for you, knave." He was about to kill Max when out of no where, he was swept right off the ground and into 50 feet in the air, where he was dropped and died upon impact, not even 5 feet from where he had been standing.
