Kylie (Courage Wolf)


Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

"Aye we can. We've got plenty of food and room to spare. And... yes they have. See, when the island was first colonized by Crimea. We minotaurs, and the goliaths, were already here. There were several clans of both, and we minotaurs were splintered on whether or not to accept these newcomers and whatnot. We of the southern and eastern tribes saw the potential for making our tribes stronger, and so we chose to join them, as did the Goliath tribes, while the northern minotaur tribes refused to accept them, but didn't really outright attack, for fear of reprisal we think," Baro replied, pulling a piece of jerky and munching on it, and handing Kylie a piece too.

The rest of that day was spent moving along, though they had to go a little slower as they had to cross one of the rivers running down from the mountain top. It took them the better part of an hour to find a spot to cross at, and by the time they'd gotten across and a little further up the mountain to come down from the summit part on the northern side, it was nightfall, and they made camp, though Baro didn't light a fire, for safety's sake.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

Good, then they earn everything I give to them. Every pain, every death, every nightmare for decades to come, and every horrifying midnight legend and tale for centuries she said, taking the jerky and eating, growing quiet as they traveled, continuing on slowly thanks to a river that was only a problem because Boros was there.

She didn't comment on it though, simply moving along and camping down at nightfall. Though when he didn't light a fire, she snorted. If they're stupid enough to attack me at night, not even knowing who I am. Only that "Some crazy bitch in black stole our slave and killed my friends" being the story they likely got. Then I pity them. she muttered, taking refuge in a tree for the night, turning into a spider, and spinning herself a hammock in the upper branches, closing her eyes and resting in it, hand on her bow while she opened her ears and listened.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

"Eh, you're probably right, just figured it was better safe than sorry though," Baro said with a shrug about the comment on the fire that Kylie made.

In the end, Baro did make them a fire to keep the bugs away more than anything, which for Kylie wasn't a problem when she turned into a spider, though Baro it seemed didn't like the bugs around all that much himself. They weren't disturbed in the night thankfully, and the next morning, Kylie woke to see the fire had burned out, and Baro was asleep, though it was a light sleep obviously, as he was leaning back against a tree with his cloak rolled up behind his head for a pillow.

Kylie found that one of the nearby trees was an apple tree, and there were plenty in there to pick and eat.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

Waking back up, Kylie reached out and bopped an apple down on Boro's head, before tossing several more at him and taking one herself, lounging in her hammock and eating. If I leave one survivor to tell the tale of horror and woe, it'll work well as a lesson to the others... But it needs to be a story that is hard to believe.... Make them come here and see it for themselves... I think I have an idea. she said, laughing softly to herself as she crunched through her apple.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

Baro woke with a start as the apple thumped his head, reaching down and grabbing a large greatsword that he had as his weapon and starting to draw it, before he noticed it had been Kylie who dropped the thing. Sighing in relief, Baro reached into his pack and pulled out another bit of jerky, passing Kylie some to eat with her apples. "Aye, sounds good to me. And honestly, I don't think they'll be overly missed. It'll be a good idea to scout it out before you make your move though, see how many children are in there that we'll have to take in, and whatnot. And if there are any more enslaved women in there too," Baro replied with a nod, not seeming to be against Kylie's plan, and almost eager to hear what she had in mind.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

Obviously Baro, I aim to misbehave. she answered, eating the jerky as well before starting on a second apple. When she was done, she'd cut the hammock down and drop to the ground, looking at him while she stretched.

Let's get comfortably close, then wait for night, I'll scout while you meet up with your brother before I make any final decisions.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

Baro smirked at Kylie's words and munched his apple and jerky down. "I know a spot we can get to, and it's around the same place we're supposed to meet Micah and the others. We can wait there until nightfall or when you make your final decision on things. If I know these northern tribes, that bastard we sent running will have gotten back by now most likely, spreading word of a girl, a... human looking girl, kicking his ass," Baro said, finishing his breakfast off and leading the way to the place in question he mentioned.

Baro was very quiet as they closed in on the village, making it obvious to Kylie know that he was a ranger of his tribe. The place Baro took Kylie to was a perfect over watch position that gave them full view of the village. Kylie could see the drow slave girl that Janessa had mentioned being led around by a chain attached to a collar, forced to carry the dirty clothing of whoever she "belonged" to, to wash it from the looks of it. The village Kylie saw wasn't too large, maybe about 60 minotaurs altogether, if the amount of cabins and large tents were any indication. The drow girl didn't look to have been overly mistreated, but it was obvious that she'd been raped, from the downtrodden look on her face.

Upon seeing the drow girl, Baro spat on the ground. "Disgusting... simply disgusting. Although I suppose I can kind of understand the worry about attacking them, that they'd just kill the slaves, or threaten to do worse to them if anyone tried to take them back," Baro said.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

It was clear as Kylie came along for the recon that many things were wrong with this picture, and she hissed between her teeth when she saw what was going on. Don't worry, Made up my mind, not a single adult minotaur leaves this village alive. The Children can tell the story of the creature in the night that killed everyone for taking slaves on this island. she spat quietly, simply resting where they were, staying hidden, waiting patiently. I'm far from human so his story will only be about half right.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

"Well, it doesn't look like there are too many actual young children thankfully, so... yeah, won't be too bad I think. How do you plan on making your attack?" Baro said softly, easing back down and glancing over at Kylie as they waited.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

nightfall. And then, well, you might see some strange stuff. But I'll start with sniping their sentries from the shadows. They don't have any places more then 400 yards away, I can make those shots. If I can get it done without raising an alarm, I'll sneak in and kill as many as I can in their sleep. I can probably get all of them that way. If they do raise an alarm then you're gonna see a mess. Don't get involved though, it might get you killed. I have very little control over certain things when I'm in the thick of a fight this big. she cautioned baros, mulling over tactics, and her available gear.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

Baro nodded as Kylie explained what she planned on trying to do, looking back over the ledge towards the village. "Hmm, you might get a good sniping position from the tops of a couple of those trees near the outskirts of the village. Make those shots count, and look for a signal from me, I'll see if I can point out any that start coming your way that you'll need to keep an eye on. I'm assuming you can see well in the dark, since you wanted to wait until nightfall," Baro said, pointing out a few trees Kylie could use for her sniping positions.

The sun sank down behind the horizon a few short hours later, bathing Kylie and Baro in darkness, with only the barest amount of moonlight to guide them. Baro nodded to Kylie and then maneuvered around to the ledge again with her. "Alright, Micah should be here soon, I say we wait another hour or so until they all finish eating their dinners and prepare for bed. I know that means that the girls may end up being used some more, but it'll be safer for them in the long run I think, as they'll be asleep, as well as their masters. Do you agree?" Baro said as they peered over the ledge down into the village.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

Yes. So I apologize in advance for this. I'm about to do something incredibly stupid. Kylie muttered, not being able to stand the idea of the girls getting used one more time in her presence, and UNABLE to let it happen with her right here.

Standing up, she drew her bow and snapped it out, drawing a titanus dragon arrow out and fitting it to the string, taking aim. This will get their fucking attention. I can't watch and wait. I used to be abl.. She was saved from her own recklessness when a black haired version of herself gripped her hand, seeming to materialize from the shadows and stopped her. You want the reins? Kylie asked her quietly, both still standing in shadows, one black, one silver. Wind nodded, her face set. Kylie nodded and stayed Baros who was probably thinking about attacking this new kylie with a hand. Before she disappeared and the silver hair faded to jet black, along with her eyes, and her lines, completely. Storm was taking a back seat, her own love getting in the way of what needed to be done. The real monster was in control now, and she knelt down near Baros unable to say anything, just waiting. Once the others arrived, she'd port from shadow to shadow, before porting again up into a tree, doing this right, professionally.

This was what she hadn't wanted to Giselle to see. But o well. When it was time, she'd count the sentries, and wait until she had a chance, using regular steels and starting to let shafts fly one after another, aiming to take all the sentries down with a single shot from her high powered weapon one at a time, quickly, quietly, and with every ounce of her hate poured into each arrow, black wind making them spin violently in the air and explode a small pocket of air Inside whatever they hit, causing huge tissue damage. It wasn't as flashy as lightning. But wind was never flashy, just unexpectedly vicious.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

Baro looked worried, but nodded as Kylie prepared to do something, as she called it, stupid. "Um... I'll just... ease back here for now and find Micah, to give you some alone time with... yourself," Baro said, preparing to slip away to find his brother as Kylie's black haired version of herself grabbed her hand, appearing out of thin air.

When Wind took over though, Baro stopped and simply watched for a few moments before returning. He didn't speak for now, and merely waited with Kylie. "Alright, Micah should be just over the side of the ridge over that way, I'll creep over and see if he's there and be right back. Once I'm back, you should get going before they change the guard," Baro said quietly to Wind Kylie before he disappeared.

About five minutes later, he returned with Micah, and a group of eight other minotaurs. "She the one Baro?" one of the other minotaurs asked softly, at which Baro nodded. "Yeah, I saw her take a full grown minotaur down with a single punch, and then a kick, laid his ass out and sent him running with his tail tucked between his legs," Baro replied.

"Alright Kylie, it's time. Do your worst to them," Baro then whispered to Kylie, nodding at her to go do her work.

Porting and moving around, Kylie got into position, and fired her first arrow, launching it straight through the poor fucker's chest, where he fell dead before two seconds had passed. Another was near him, the two walking in a pair on patrol around their village, and Kylie's second arrow was true and went through his throat, not stopping until it landed in the dirt. She went like that, picking off the patrols one by one until she came to one of the last couple, and as she was pulling her bow to fire, she spotted Baro in the distance waving to her, glinting his sword in the moonlight to get her attention, and pointed towards a couple of minotaurs walking towards the one she was aiming at. Kylie then saw the best opportunity she had so far, as the two lined up perfectly for one steel arrow to pierce both of them with ease, and that shot was lined up and sent forth, and struck true on the unsuspecting pair, and then the last of the patrols was ended as well, the last arrow she fired at him striking him directly in the back of the head.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

Kylie just ignored any thoughts Baro had on her multiple layered magical golem self. It was normal to her, he'd been warned she wasnt' human. Wind made her way through the sentries like a proper assassin should, one at a time, in some cases two, with accuracy, stealth, and decisive blows that left them all dead. They were all down and Kylie moved on to the nastier work of the night.

Dropping down, she slid from shadow to shadow, bow still ready but getting put away as she got closer, drawing her knives. Points down, she flexed her wrists at the same time and her hidden blades slid out. Now she had a sharp razor protruding forward from each hand while holding her knives. She could strike in a myriad of ways without having to reposition a knife unless she absolutely wanted to, and as she listened to the tent for the sounds of sleeping, she did, spinning one of them up properly into her right hand, before putting the other away. She only needed it just in case someone was still awake, but she doubted it. that's what sentries were for and they were all dead. They'd feel safe in their villages. They were anything but.

Cutting her way into the tent, just so it was clear SOMEONE had done this to them, Kylie slid inside, and found the sleeping targets. Only children were spared as Wind did what she did best. She killed. She would simply hold her hand over their bodies and draw, pulling the threads of their lives apart, killing them without even leaving a wound, one by one, just... pulling their lives from them with nothing more then a soft gasp as the wind of their lives became Kylie's.

And on she would go, one tent at a time, sparing only the children, moving like a ghost, silent, not even risking them waking up with a cry as they were stabbed or cut, because she never touched them, just snuffed the candles of ther existence while they were completely unawares and helpless, looking for slaves to set free as she went. The children would awake to retell of story of Everyone killed in the night, without a single drop of blood spilled, save the sentries who had been shot down like animals. An act and story that would Terrify. They'd never feel safe in the night again. Not on her Island. The Only Slaves on THIS island belonged to the monsters who didn't know Law, and those who willingly chose it, She would accept nothing else, And Crimea be damned, this was Her Island. Melora's Tear belonged to Her as much as Kylie belonged to it. It sang in her blood and soul.

One life at a time, step by completely silent step through the shadows until they were all gone. Until they were all dead, though if she was interrupted the minotaur who found her would be savaged by a violent, vicious throat slash as she teleported onto their shoulders and ended them immediately, carrying the body to the floor just as silently as their steps before they could fuck all her plans. There would be no compromise.

Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

As Kylie began creeping into the village, her weapons ready for a fight that may or may not come, she found most of the village sleeping. The first four tents she snuck into had sleeping minotaurs, and they were ended quickly, without even a peep. The next set of tents however were a little more difficult, as there were a couple of minotaurs in one of them, still awake, and drinking ale. She heard someone stirring in that tent from the back of it, and peeking in, she'd see the drow girl on a thick bedroll that was empty save her, which likely meant that they would be doing something to her soon enough most likely.

There were also three longhouses made from logs, which Kylie found had two of the other slave girls inside, the human and the other elf like Janessa. Kylie ended up finding another slave girl too, this one a kitsune with black hair, and a long fluffy black tail with a white tip. The kitsune was in one of the larger tents, and was being forced to suck the minotaur "owner" of hers off, and he was completely oblivious to Kylie sneaking in.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

When Kylie stumbled across the drow girl, who was basically just awaiting her fate, Kylie did the best possible thing, because the real assassin was in control. And her Gauntlet launcher snapped out easily, and gas pellets started to fly at the one drinking. When he inhaled to cry out in alarm or fright or even just confusion, he'd inhale the full dose. His partner needed a more direct attack, and that was her porting to his shoulders and ramming the knife into his neck to keep him from yelling, and to ensure his death. Then she'd kill the sleeping one like the others, moving to the drow, a finger to her lips.

She'd inspect any restraints that were still in place, and search the body for any needed keys. Or if necessary, just have her wait for her to come back. She couldn't speak so she did her best to ensure the Drow didn't either, using hand motions that told her to wait, while she used her finger to write "Trust. Rescue. Soon" in the dirt for her to see. Then she'd carry on.

No matter what, even if she did free the drow from her restraints, she would have her stay there and wait. She couldn't move around with a tagalong. She found the longhouses next, and decided it was unlikely she could do anything to help the girls in those immediately until she was sure everyone inside was asleep.

The kitsune was who she found next, sucking off her owner and Kylie again rammed her knife through the side of his neck to put him down, looking to the Kitsune and pulling her out of the way of the body, a finger to her lips. Looking around, she'd port the kitsune to the same tent as the Drow, and let them both wait together, having the Drow explain for her, before heading back to exterminate Everyone who wasn't in the longhouses, leaving them for last.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

The two minotaurs with the drow girl were taken by complete surprise, and Kylie took care of them without a single peep from either. The drow girl looked up at Kylie with a hopeful look on her face, and nodded when Kylie motioned her finger over her lips to keep quiet. Kylie saw an iron collar that was a bit snug around her neck, preventing Kylie from hooking any fingers around it, and it had a small chain attached to it. "T-The chain goes to the post at the foot of the bed. It's just long enough to let me go to the bathroom, but no further than that while it's here. That one there has the key," the drow girl whispered as quietly as she could, pointing at the one Kylie gassed first before killing.

The drow girl nodded when Kylie motioned for her to stay there, hugging her and whispering for her to be careful. After she got to the kitsune's tent, her minotaur owner was completely oblivious of Kylie's coming in. When Kylie stabbed him, the kitsune gasped and pulled away, and was about to scream, but caught herself just in time as she saw Kylie. She tapped her collar, and looked to the post she was chained to, then pointed at the keys over on a small table next to the bed. Once her collar came off, she rubbed her neck and looked relieved, a spark of life back in her eyes. She hugged Kylie and was ported back to the drow, who whispered in her ear what was happening and whatnot, from what she could tell at least.

After moving on, Kylie found another tent with four minotaurs inside, having taken care of a couple of other tents first, and these four were all awake, and apparently playing some sort of little drinking game of some sort. They were drunk, but Kylie couldn't tell how drunk exactly, but knew that she likely wouldn't be able to take all four down before one got an alarm off.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

Having managed to save the two girls for now, and making her way through the tents, Kylie finally hit a bit of a wall. 4 of them, drinking and playing together, no slave to speak of. Thinking for a moment, Kylie just ughed inside. She had 2 ideas, only 1 would really kill all 4 of them. As long as Giselle didn't find out, this would never be a problem. Cos it was reckless and stupid.

Her original plan had been to pose as a slave, but she realized that her own very unique skin, and the fact that she was already wearing a collar far more ornate then the ones they were using to hold the girls, was going to spoil it, and instead, she had to resort to a blitz. A high speed multi angled attack.

Giselle would already be telling her this was a bad idea, but Kylie was up against a wall here. She couldn't have rogues running about when she did what she was planning to the longhouses.

She didn't have the energy to split into 4 kylies, though that would have been ideal, and she didn't have enough gas pellets left to dose the entire tent. She doubted she even had any left. This would come down to skill and surprise like everything else tonight, unlike everything else tonight, there was a possible degree of failure here that would create a large conflict. Something she wasn't overly afraid of, but that she didn't want.

She tossed a quick silent prayer up to the goddess of luck, and then analyzed the angles she could use. She could come into the tent from any direction with a port, but then she'd have one move, two at most, to kill all 4. And they weren't humans, they were minotaurs. While they died the same, they were a bit thicker skinned.

Drawing both of her knives, and readying her barb on a wire, making sure the spring was set to full strength, Kylie took a deep deeeep breath, and pulled the adamantine dagger from her gauntlet, and put it in her mouth, holding it with her teeth.

And then absolute chaos broke out in the center of the tent. If this worked she'd have 4 corpses. Porting in directly between two of the drinkers, she slammed both daggers into their necks, shot the barb at the face of the 3rd at full force, hoping to simply spear him through the head, and spat the adamantine dagger into her free hand, porting as he moved or blinked or did whatever people did when instant murder ensued and used all her strength to bring it down through the top of his skull. If anything went wrong at all, or she missed or otherwise didn't instantly kill a target, she'd draw both her swords and start stabbing.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

Porting in, Kylie caught her first two targets easily enough, their throats spewing a red mist out as their eyes bulged and they slumped forward, clutching at their necks. The third one was struck in the face by the barb from Kylie's wrist launcher, but he managed to get his hand up just in time, and his hand took the brunt of the shot, and he unfortunately survived the shot. Her fourth attack with her adamantine dagger struck the minotaur she had targeted the top of his head of, and took him down.

The remaining one kicked his leg out at Kylie from under the table, catching her and tripping her up, and causing her to fall forward face first into the table. He immediately reached for a warhammer that was sitting next to him, and raising it high to strike at Kylie, as he yanked the barb off.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

Everything went beautifully... except her third target, who managed to react in time to stop her barb from killing him, instead maiming his hand. In the time it took him to remove it though, she'd killed the 4th, and thank all her lucky stars he didn't sound an alarm, instead moving to immediately squish her flat. Kylie had REALLLLLY not wanted to try this without some more practice but o well.

A warhammer was a long handled weapon with a rather small striking area but a devastating one. Tactic, dive inside it's reach. Take the blow from the handle if you had to, but get inside.

Kylie did so, moving fast to tackle his chest in a grapple. But what she did next likely confused him so badly that he'd have a few seconds to contemplate the meaning of his existence as he found himself, And Kylie with him teleported 50 feet above the village.

Kylie would kick away from him then, and teleport back down to the ground before she picked up too much speed, drawing her bow and starting to fire into his chest, seeing how many arrows she could put through his lungs before he hit the ground through his own tent.
