The Warped (2nd Party)

[Goblin Cat 😸]

Mortis jumped ontop of the soldier she jerked to his feet and began to punch him repeatedly in the face. She didn't have any other weapons on her, so it was all that she could do; she was just thankful that their helmets left their faces open. Her heart was thumping out of her chest as she did so. The element of surprise had been on her side this time, the soldier hardly having time to react. She only stopped bashing his face in when the soldier stopped jerking around.

The chameleon almost dropped dead from fear when the captain shouted, and even moreso when she turned to see that he was swooped off his feet and dropped in the distance. Oh god if that's not Moon... was the only thing she could think as she grabbed the unconscious soldier's sword and stabbed it into his neck with a cold expression on her face. She just wanted all of this to stop. She grabbed the sword again and jerked it out of the soldier's new orifice, using her foot to anchor the soldier's body down as she pulled upward. She probably looked crazy at this point, stark naked with a sword in hand. She probably would have been a little more self conscious if she didn't just look like a sexless over grown lizard, but even that couldn't concern her at this point.

max screamed out in pain as the sword was trust through his tail, he instinctive reached backand grabbed the blade, ending up cutting his palm through the cloth as he pulled it out of his tail. he slowly kept crawling till he reached the edge of the fallen tent, pulling himself slowly out from under it and getting up groggily, swaying as he stumbled forwards towards the tent with Ramsey in it, his mind completely blank, oblivious to mortis' presence

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Another three of the soldiers who had gone out for food, and heard the noise, had come back and spotted Max stumbling over to the tent with Ramsey, and they drew their swords, charging at him. The first one got to Max before he reached the tent, and pulled him by the tail, gripping the wound hard, and raised his sword. However, before he could kill Max, he was immediately crushed, his arm no longer part of the mush of a body he has left. It was Moon, and it shocked the other two soldiers enough for her to cover them in her poison breath. Meanwhile, the last soldier was still trying to get out of the mess of a tent.

After Mortis saw that the others were taken care of, she noticed the soldier clambering around in the cloth tent. Without really hesitating, she charged forward and leaped on him, poking her newly acquired sword into the cloth, hoping to jab into flesh, though striking metal a few times in the process. She was very displeased, irritated with the whole situation as well as everything else. After she was sure the soldier was at least too injured to move, she went and retrieved her book.

Constance trudged along until they got the the camp, looking at what was left. She saw Mortis stabbing at what looked like someone under a tent and Max with a bloody tail. She also saw Moon near Max as well. "What happened here?!" she asked worried. "Are you guys alright?" she continued as she walked over to them.

[Ares the Ram]

Macid had heard the struggle at the camp a ways before they reached it, but had to stay with Constance the entire way there. When they finally reached it and saw the carnage that was left. Bodies everywhere, coated in blood; it looked like a slasher film. Macid merely stood there, his mouth agape in shock. His mind raced at the possibilities of what could have happened otherwise. "We can't even rest for a single night. How are we supposed to change the world if we can't barely survive a single night?"

[serpington]

max instinctively spun around and swung at the soldier, missing moon by no less than a foot, he lost his footing and kept spining ending up face first in the dirt. his breathing shallow and his heart beat slowwing as the cold night air drained away his body heat. he was able to stay awake long enough to see macid and constance arive before finally passing out.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

The men covered in Moon's poison screamed as boils had festered and were popping all over their bodies, making it seem like their bodies were melting, which in a way, they were. One of them actually had an arm fall off, letting out whatever was supposed to be coursing into it when it was still attached. Another just plain collapsed into a pool of what used to be his skin and scales.

[Goblin Cat 😸]

"From the looks of things, soldiers grabbed Max." The chameleon said without skipping a beat. She kept the sword in hand and grabbed her bag, beginning to sift through the tent to find her clothing. She was a bit angry, but not at anyone in particular. She figured the others would tend to Max. It wasn't that she didn't care so much as she figured she had done her part.

[Srgntcuddles]

Constance made her way over to Max, ignoring the melting soldiers from Moon's poison. It was a gruesome sight which she didn't want to see or hear. Just before she got to Max he passed out. She hurriedly got over to him. "Max? Max! Are you okay?" she said, kneeling down over him. She put her ear to his mouth to check for breathing, retracing when she heard it. "Well, he's not dead...That's a good sign."

[Ares the Ram]

Macid walked over to Max as well, noticing how badly in shape he was from the fight. He was no doctor, and had no idea how to help him so he decided to rummage through the camp to see if he could find any supplies they could use. He searched throughout the tents and any soldiers that weren't covered in poison in hopes of finding medicine or coins, anything of value. He wasn't able to find much of anything he could salvage, and went back to Max, sitting down next to him and sighing.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Moon watched as Constance and Macid seemed to panic for a bit to help the passed out Max. She went over to one of the tents and bit down, tearing off a portion of it and walking right over to them and dropping it onto the ground, and letting out a low growl. Moon had no interest in whether or not they would use it and went over to the dead soldiers she had killed with her portion. Despite how they looked, they had been separated from their armour, and they looked appetizing enough that she dined on them.

[Goblin Cat 😸]

Mortis slid on her clothing and looked over to the others to see what they were doing. When she saw Moon take the torn part of the tent, she flatly spoke, "You gotta wrap whatever injuries he has." She watched Moon dining on the soldiers. As odd as it seemed, it didn't really unnerve her so much as it made her hungry again, but she shrugged it off. Although Moon was eating, Mortis came up close to her, keeping in mind that she probably needed her space. She didn't pet her, but she did speak to her. "Thank you for the help, Moon." She crossed her arms behind her back and walked off a little awkwardly to the others to see if they had begun to wrap Max's injury. We gotta get out of here soon before people find out... She thought, waiting for what the others were going to say. Although it was hard to say, something inside Mortis seemed to have changed after she actually got out and did some physical fighting. It was as if she was on the verge of letting go of her more logical side in favor of something that would help her survive. It was that same feeling from before when she had been looting the soldiers' bodies from before when they had first arrived, except this time, it seemed more welcome.

[Srgntcuddles]

Constance saw Moon tear a piece of the tent off and throw it to them. She took it, somewhat in a fog. When Mortis mentioned wrapping up the wound it was clear, despite that she knew what had to be done. She wrapped the wound tightly as she could before sighing. "So what now? Do we leave town? Someone's going to have to carry Max. Or wait until he wakes up."

[Ares the Ram]

Macid stared at Max's wounds as Constance wrapped them, not really looking at them but staring into space. He responded to Constance but not to her directly. "What's the point of going back to town? There's nothing they could do for us anyway. We'll put Max on Moon and move to the next landmark. If what the mayor said was true, and there is a wizard that can hear everything in town, I'll be he heard all this and is on his way here now so we should be going." Macid got up and walked a bit, staring down into the town while he waited for the others to get ready.
