Log 1 Part 1
Tass: Icy wind bit at Klara and howled around her as she hiked the last miles of her journey, the trail of her quarry having drawn her to this desolate land, far to the North of Therion. Flurries of fresh snow swirled in the biting gusts that lashed against her armored form, the tiny crystals shining in the dim light. The cold was biting and horrid, and she had been forced to leave her horse back in the stable of the last village lest it freeze to death on the trip out here. Trees, either bare or sporting needles instead of leaves, closed in around the narrow path that she walked, the ancient stone tiles lain in ages past now cracked and broken from ice and the motions of the earth. Ahead of her, on a high hill, lay an ancient fortress. >>
Tass: According to the villagers it had been built long ago to hold off orcs, but the numerous slaughters that had taken place there had left it haunted and abandoned. Her quarry, a man named Ardin, had been seen in that village, hurrying alone with Klara trailing along in his wake. He had left only two days prior, or so they had said, despite supposedly being in ill health and exhausted. Klara, who would know those as symptoms of using unnatural magic, had only been a short ways behind. Her order had sent her to end Ardin after he had laid waste to a small village for his foul experiments, and the retaking of the desolate land had cost two of her comrades their lives. Despite its abandonment, the fortress hadn't crumbled much, its walls solid and its towers standing tall even in the face of the elements. The gate was closed, that much was visible from even the two miles between her and it, but the bridge was down. >>
Tass: Night was approaching, but it was yet distant, with the sun still pale as it cast its pale light through a screen of gray clouds. The path would take her to the front gates, but once she was on the plateau on which the fortress had been built she could try and circle around instead, or perhaps break from the path well before then instead and search for another way into the hiding place of her quarry out in the woods.
Tass: (There, done)
Sinful: (lol. Oh, and feel free to post this should ye want to)
Tass: (I probably will, I like having records. Also, I should note that I did make a sheet for Klara, which I can also post if you want. You don't need to worry about it too much if you don't want to, I'm just keeping it for determining success/failure when the fights happen.)
Sinful: ((mmk))
Sinful: Wind whipped at her fur lined cloak, but with one hand she clutched it closed around her chest. Only the trails of it around her legs flapped in the wind, making small snaps that only God could hear. Her eyes locked onto that fortress, her eyes staring out from beneath her hood she pondered the best way to get inside. A step forward made a small sound, the sound of metal sliding against itself. She frowned, not wanting to remove her armour. She was not so naive to think that her faith alone would protect her. She'd seen too many friends fall for that arrogance.
There seemed to be only one real way to get in. And that was through the provided opening. There was either a trap laying in wait, or Ardin was alone and simply could not close it. And it seemed the only place to hide in this desolate frozen hell. For a sick man, it was the only place to go. So Klare took her first steps towards that fortress, removing her shield from its strap across her back as she came closer.
Tass: It would take the better part of an hour for Klara to ascend the broken path leading up to the fortress gate, the howling Crolian wind trying its best to push her back, to turn her aside and send her home as if it could sense the horrors that Ardin might have conjured within that ancient fortress. The treeline broke at the base of the cliff, where a set of stairs ascended up to the top, the fortress's first line of defense. Thankfully, it was abandoned, as no one called upon Klara as she made her approach save for a crow, the croaking caw of the black bird coming from the branch of a lone barren tree on her right hand side. It gazed down at her and tilted its head, beady black eyes focusing on the cloaked woman, but after a moment it took off and flapped its way up to the top of the fortress. Ahead of her, the drawbridge was down, but the main gate remained closed, a heavy wooden door standing between her and the fortress interior.
Sinful: Turning at the sound of the bird, she watched it for a minute before continuing forward. When it flutered upwards to the castle top, she watched it go, narrowing her eyes as she lost track of it. Her thighs burned from the climb upwards, but now she stood on the drawbridge, before the heavy door. She looked around briefly, wondering if there was some alternate entrance nearby, before trying the obvious answer. She pushed on the wood before her.
Tass: Far off on the left, the base of one of the towers had partially crumbled, leaving a hole in the wall that she might be able to enter, but would involve the obvious danger of entering the tower which looked ready to crumble at any moment. Striding across the wooden bridge instead, Klara nearly ended up tumbling into the frigid moat beneath as a section of wood splintered beneath her feet. She kept her balance and quickly recovered, however, and should she continue her trek she would be able to approach the door. Despite its weight, the heavy oaken doors would slowly slide open, their hinges squealing in protest. Behind them was a long corridor, arrow slits set into both walls where defenders could fire at will upon would-be attackers from relative safety. Light revealed the seemingly empty courtyard beyond, but the tunnel itself was dark, and there were two holes smashed into the wall on the left side, one only about twenty feet in and the other near the far entrance roughly a hundred feet from Klara's position.
Sinful: Breathing a little harder from her near death, for falling into that moat in this weather would result in just that, Klara scanned the tunnel. Slowly she pulled her sword free, no longer needing to clutch at her cloak now. The chill still clung within the old stones, but the wind no longer tried to rip the garment off. The steel rasped against the leather as it came free in the darkness, shimmering off the distance light from the courtyard. Her eyes slid along the walls, watching those holes as she stepped forward. Each footsteps sounded like a crash it was so damn still, and an involuntary shiver ran up her spine that had nothing to do with the cold. Carefully, cautiously, she made her way to towards the courtyard, keeping all her senses on full alert for anything.
Tass: With her sword in one hand and her shield strapped to the other, Klara headed down the tunnel, keeping a careful eye on the nearer of the two large holes. The stillness of the dark tunnel was a different sort of frigid from the outside, the dead air settling around her like a frozen blanket. Every footstep echoed across the closed in walls, but as she passed by the first of the two large holes she spotted.... Nothing. A room that archers could fire from via the killholes with a rusty iron door set in the wall leading who knows where on the back wall, though she couldn't see all of it from there. Should she continue past it, Klara would have to pass the other hole as well, but she could stop and try the iron door if she wanted.
Sinful: Stopping for a moment Klara looked towards the other hole, the end of the tunnel, and the iron door. She'd taken quite a few risks so far, she might as well try to mitigate them now. Slipping through the broken wall to the archer's kill room, she settled her hand on the door, and tried to open it.
Tass: As she stepped into the room, a blur of motion to her right alerted her, allowing Klara to turn and face a huge hairless something as it hurled itself at her, long arms ending in long-fingered hands ending in jagged claws reaching for her and red eyes glowing with fury. The surprise of it's sudden assault didn't last long enough to keep her from trying for a swing at it before it closed in, but whether she wanted to try for aggression or a more defensive approach in the face of the thing's fury was up to her.
Sinful: Klara didn't say a word, though her heart was pounding from the scare the creature had given her. She watched it for the briefest of seconds, trying to determine what it was. What kind of monster had Ardin summoned to protect him... or were their older evils in this place? She had to find the vile sorcerer, and this thing was in her way. Planting her feet firmly on the ground and covering her form with her shield, she slashed at one of the creature's arms.
Tass: Taking a moment to get a better look, Klara would see the creature as vaguely humanoid, with yellowish skin and a bloated abdomen. It was naked except for a loincloth, even its feet bare, but it didn't seem bothered by the frigid cold. Its hairless head was too long, its chin dropping down to reveal a slathering maw and an overly long tongue that dripped greenish saliva over the ground as it charged in at her. It raked claws at her as it closed in, but she deflected the blow off of her shield with ease and responded with a swing at one of its arms. Her blade chopped into the meat of the ugly thing, eventually stopping as it met something harder but as she slid the blade against bone the monstrosity barely seemed to notice the blow as it prepared to take another swing.
Sinful: "God, what is this monstrosity?" Klara uttered... almost screamed really as she ducked downwards, shield raised, and chopped towards its belly. Pain would not hamper this beast it seemed; she had felt flesh give way and steel scrape bone, yet it had not even flinched. Was it some kind of undead beast?
Tass: Whether it was undead or not, the monster lunged again, claws raking at her shield ineffectually. Her blade swung into its belly, rending apart its bloated flesh. Hot blood spilled out onto the ground, and the previously silent creature howled with rage as it prepared to lunge again, this time stepping into it and preparing to simply power over her.
Sinful: 'Weak spot' Klara thought to herself as she rolled to the side to avoid the next attack. There was a slight pain in her shoulder when the metal plates crashed into the ground, but she managed to ignore it. It was a small annoyance more than anything. Getting her feet back under her, she aimed for the abdomen again.
Tass: Rolling under the monster's attempted grab, Klara ended up with her back to the hole in the wall while it turned back to her, the knight aiming another slash at its abdomen. This time guts spilled out across the floor in addition to blood, green and red viscera spilling across the ancient stone, but while it did seem to be growing more sluggish it didn't seem quite out of steam just yet. A less defensive assault might drop it now, but if she failed to do so she would be in greater danger.
Sinful: "In God's name, I vanquesh thee, monster," Klara said, a small prayer running through her head as she lunged forward, driving the point of her blade, and the rim of her shield into the creature, all her weight behind the strikes.
Tass: Lunging forward even as the creature tried to bury her under its weight again, Klara drove her blade through the monster's body and slammed into it with the lower rim of her shield. Her weight met that of her foe, both canceling out, but when the monster's claws closed in on her sides they had no strength, the glow already fading from its eyes. It shivered over her for a moment before finally going still, its bulk leaning onto the knight.
Sinful: With a grunt of exertion, Klara twisted to the side, pulling her sword free to spill more gore on the already slick floor, and remove her shield, letting the creature crash to the ground in a sticky mess. Flicking her blade to get most of the viscera off the hard steel, she looked towards the hole in the wall to see if anything had come calling during that fight.
Now though she knew the castle wasn't utterly abandoned. Now though, she had to find Ardin. If he wasn't dead, she could not fully assume these beasts were his. Though, it was a distinct possibility. Turning again, she tried for the door.
Tass: The creature crumbled to the floor at her feet, still leaking, and as she turned to the hole in the wall she would find it empty. Turning to the door, Klara would already detect hints of a foul, rotten smell. The door was stuck, either locked or simply blocked, and as she tried to twist the handle the rusted thing snapped off in her hand.
Sinful: A short humorless laugh slipped free as she looked at the handle, before simply dropping it to the ground. There was something very wrong here. That stench, that reek of death. Rolling her shoulders within her armour she moved back to the hole to continue down the tunnel. Ardin was around here somewhere, but apparently so were plenty of ghoulish monsters.
Tass: Proceeding down the central hall, Klara would be able to pass the second hole without anything happening, though she would see a similar rusted iron door beyond with the area around the lock smashed open and the door hanging a crack open already. Just forty feet ahead was the courtyard, where she could see a large wall of stone, the second wall protecting the keep likely having its door on the opposite side so that the defenders could rain shots on any who breached the first wall for as long as possible. She couldn't see the walls from there, however, and could either try the opened door or go out into the courtyard.
Sinful: Chewing on her lip a moment, she decided to test the second door. If Ardin was waiting, or had minions waiting, she wanted to be as stealthy as a knight in plate mail could get. Moving through the hole, carefully stepping over the debris, she reached out and carefully pulled. Putting more strength if needed to pry it open, her sword aimed at the opening should something decide now was a good time to bash through.
Tass: The next room was empty, thankfully, allowing Klara to try the door. The hinges squeaked briefly and one of them snapped off, but the lower one remained in place, allowing her to simply shove the door open. This one led out into the courtyard, with a door only ten feet away on the left leading into the inner section of the inner wall and likely where she would find other doors into the killhole rooms. There was nothing else besides a large snowpile near the door entrance, partially blocking off the courtyard, but if she stepped out she could get a glimpse of the walls, where humanoid figures seemed to be slowly shambling around.
Sinful: She kept her lips clamped shut, despite a desire to curse. Breathing in deep through her nostrils, she stepped out into the courtyard, torn between wanting to scurry, and step softly to prevent noise, she ended up settling on the later, moving towards the door just across from her. Where the hell had Ardin found all the bodies for this?
Tass: As she tried to creep towards the door, Klara saw the shambling figures up on the wall stop one by one, each of them slowly orienting towards her. The figures were skeletal, clad in rotted and rusted armor and wielding longbows that they raised towards the knight as she headed for the door. Bows twanged as she moved to the door, each one hitting nothing but stone or bouncing off of her shield. As she reached the door, however, she spotted movement from the snow pile. A figure simply stepped out of it, so translucent that they were barely visible against the snow, but as it advanced the figure became more distinct. A woman was gliding across the ground toward her, steadily gaining substance as it drew closer and stretched its hands toward her. Empty eye sockets gazed at her, and a mouth set into a silent scream advanced on Klara as she reached the door, the skeletons on the walls already drawing more arrows to loose another volley while more movement stirred within the courtyard.
Sinful: Now she didn't care. "Shit," she said, and started running towards the door, lowering her shoulder down to simply bash through it. She could find the spectre, but not while being shot with arrows. She needed to get inside, get cover.
Tass: According to the villagers it had been built long ago to hold off orcs, but the numerous slaughters that had taken place there had left it haunted and abandoned. Her quarry, a man named Ardin, had been seen in that village, hurrying alone with Klara trailing along in his wake.
