It certainly seemed to be the right place. Clara stood over the corpse of a large wolf, the strange creature having been dead before she'd arrived. She had left her village, weeks ago, to attempt to track down the human slavers that had been repeatedly attacking her village, and kidnapping her people. She had found a small group of the bastards and killed them, freeing a handful of the captives in the process, but the only human survivor she'd questioned had said that they were part of a greater organization, something called the; "Servitors Guild."

Following the now dead mans instructions, she had gone far away from her home, into human lands, in search of the slaver scum. She'd had only a few run ins with the locals, sticking mostly to the wilderness, but it had never ended well. Most of them had either run from her outright, in the case of a small boy she'd found on the edge of a stream, or attacked her, as was the case with a trio of men in dark clothes, who'd turned out to be bandits of some kind. She'd dealt with them in short order, and gotten on her way once more, only to end up here. The human had told her to head West for three days, and then turn South and go for another week, and then she would be at the town containing the slavers headquarters, and their leader, a man named Sir Staven. She had been moving for six days, and the night was fast closing in on her, with no sign of habitation other than a few small villages, certainly not the place where the slavers would be headquartered.

Now, looking down at the dead animal, Clara wondered what she'd gotten into. The beast she looked down on was not only badly mauled, but extremely deformed. She could see patches of flesh missing, and protrusions of flesh splitting off unnaturally from it. Judging from the smell, it had been dead for less than an hour, and no chunks had been taken off other than by the clean cut of a sword, so she knew that no scavengers had gotten to the carcass yet. Strange. Regardless, the sun was beginning to creep toward the edge of the sky, which was swiftly turning orange and violet to mark the onset of evening. If she didn't get to the town containing the slavers headquarters soon, she'd have to camp in the forest again.
 
Re: No More Monsters (Cappy)

Clara looked down on the mangy beast one last time, before planning her next move.
She decided it would be safer with her weapons out, and she took both her trusty shield and bludgeon (spiked club) out as she briefly decided to continue south.
She briefly thought to question about Sir Staven if she where to come across another small village, as she must be nearing the headquarters if her directions where actually correct.
The bandit seemed truthful enough in his terrified state.

She looked to the setting horizon, although beautiful, it would not wait for her, the rules of nature stop for no one person lest they try manipulate it with magic,
A fools tactic in her own opinion, magic was dangerous.
Arcane magic and such was barely acceptable, but the dark arts where just plain stupid and selfish, if she ever met any necromancer or other foul wizard,
she would simply smash his face in before looting his corpse for any of his evil writings to burn.

As her boots crunched against the grass and soil of the ground, she erased the thoughts of anger from her mind as she kept going, briefly wondering how many steps she had taken in her life, and how many more she would take in the future, all the while looking around the forest for signs of danger, she was no stranger to dangers of the forest...

Perception: Success.

Clara proceeds on for only a few moments before she hears something moving through the underbrush to her left. Turning toward it and bringing her shield up, she spots something that makes her recoil instinctively out of its way as it pounces toward her. She narrowly avoids the creature, and has a chance to better examine it before it can turn and prepare to attack again. The strange... Thing, has the appearance of some kind of large, powerful cat, with the claws and teeth to match, but seems to be made up entirely of plant matter. The creature spins back toward her soundlessly, and Clara spots another of the things coming toward her from behind it.
 
Re: No More Monsters (Cappy)

Knowing that it was obviously hostile from the previous attack, Clara wasn't going to wait for more enemies to appear before she started defending herself.
She rushed forward with her shield still raised, trying to get the first hit in with her spiked club.

As she neared it she raised her club, and and hammered it down towards the creature, aiming to bludgeon it with the blunt side of the club.
She kept wary, and ready to retreat if need be, if many more appeared this fight could last until the night, and she couldn't afford that, she just hoped it was going to end at one or two.
 
Re: No More Monsters (Cappy)

Claras Stats: HP = 52, PP = 36, EP = 36

To-hit: 1 + 54 = 55 vs 33 == Hit.
Damage: 1 + 24 - 2 = 23 damage.

Claras mace crashes down on the plant monster, slamming into what looks like the monsters head. A fountain of green blood and gore erupts as the abominations head is first crushed, and then torn right off by her powerful blow. Unfortunately, the monster only stumbles for a moment before clawing directly for her face.

To-hit: 9 + 24 = 33 vs 31 == Hit.
To-hit: 5 + 24 = 29 vs 31 == Miss.
Damage: 4 + 12 = 16 - 12 = 4 damage. Armor at 37/40 TP.

So surprised is she by the creatures strike, that Clara doesn't have time to react before its claws rake across her eyes. She snaps them closed just in time, taking only minor cuts on her face. She lifts her shield up as the other creature tries to claw at her as well, and avoiding any further injury.
 
Re: No More Monsters (Cappy)

She snapped her eyes closed as the claw raked across her face, leaving red streaks of blood against her features. She recovered fairly quick.
As Clara deflected the plant-creatures claw with her shield she shifted her weight back and charged forward with her shield, attempting to slam it into the creatures frontal body.
She thought it was fairly weakened, and wouldn't be able to dodge such a wide blow, or survive it.

(The injured one was the one you didn't block with your shield.)

To-hit: 2 + 54 = 56 vs 33 == Hit. (No luck on the attack rolls. not that it matters.)
Damage: 3 + 1 + 16 = 20 damage.

Claras shield slams into the plant monster that she had blocked, resulting in both monsters being injured but neither one was down.

To-hit: 11 + 24 = 35 vs 31 == Hit.
To-hit: 5 + 24 = 29 vs 31 == Miss.
Damage: 6 + 12 = 18 - 12 = 6 damage. Armor at 33/40 TP.

Clara is distracted with her attack on the second of the plant monsters, and takes another strike from the first creatures claws. They rake across her stomach, tearing through her leather armor and leaving bloody scratches on her belly.
 
Re: No More Monsters (Cappy)

Frustrated by the hit she had taken, Clara immediately turned to the first creature, and sent a whirring blow towards it with her club, heaving a grunt of exasperation. She tried to get another good blow to its skull, and end it, she tried to be ready to move for the next one right after, though she can only move so fast.

Small amounts of sweat where gathering at her forehead, this battle was taking up valuable time, she had to end it soon.

(Retaliation attack on first one, blunt attack)
 
Re: No More Monsters (Cappy)

Claras Stats: HP = 42/52, PP = 36, EP = 36, Grappled

To-hit: 3 + 54 = 57 vs 33 == Hit.
Damage: 2 + 24 - 2 = 24 damage.

Claras second strike takes another chunk of the plant creatures head off, and this time the thing drops to the ground, unmoving.

To-hit: 15 + 36 = 51 vs 31 == Hit.

The second creature, taking advantage of Claras momentary distraction, rushes around behind her and leaps onto her back, moving too fast for her to avoid the attack. She gives a quick puff of exhaled breath as she hits the ground face first, the plant creature on top of her.
 
Re: No More Monsters (Cappy)

Clara tried to use brute strength to lift herself up, and throw the creature off that way, if that where to fail, she would try roll onto her side and shrug it off with sharp elbow movements, it was an awkward position, and Clara didn't want to be in it for any longer than absolutely necessary, Frantic writhing around would be her last tactic, until the beast was either off, or at least knocked back a little.

She didn't have time to be fighting these wild plant-animals, she needed to find shelter , or her destination, spending a restless night in a forest was hardly good preparation, and she intended full well, to get her job done, and move on to the next one.

She would not stop, she would not rest, until her village was at least safe enough for children to live in peace.
 
Re: No More Monsters (Cappy)

Claras Stats: HP = 42/52, PP = 36, EP = 36, Grappled

Grapple: 8 + 54 = 62 vs 14 + 36 = 50 == Clara wins.

Claras surges upward and grabs the plant monster, swiftly tossing it off and away from her.

To-hit: 16 + 36 = 52 vs 31 == Hit.

The plant creature lands perfectly on its feet, just like a cat, and spins around toward her. It rushes her as she gets back to her feet, and slams her back to the ground, this time on her back. It ends up with the plant creature standing over her, its tentacles writhing around her arms, and her legs wrapped around it. Clara feels something pressing against the crotch of her pants, and if she looked down, she would see a glistening blue tube, already leaking goo against her crotch from the hole on the end.
 
Re: No More Monsters (Cappy)

Clara sparked a hint of recognition, and suddenly knew what it wanted, If she had more time then she may have actually let up to save the trouble, but now wasn't the time to let a feline plant have its way with her.The damned creature could find another playmate.

Clara growled out her irritation, before trying to force her leg underneath its belly and force it off of her, she needed to finish this quickly otherwise night time would come, and she would be forced to fight anything from several more of these plant creatures, to even more ferocious ones that are nocturnal, either way it didn't look good.

(Try force off grapple)

Grapple: 16 + 54 = 70 vs 14 + 36 = 50 == Clara wins.

Clara gets her boot beneath the creature and throws it into the trees away from her. It comes down to earth hard with an audible thud, and she has time to rise and prepare to strike before it can even get its feat back under it.
 
Re: No More Monsters (Cappy)

Clara charges forward, this time rather than even bothering with her mace or shield, in anger she threw a sharp kick with her right foot, aiming for its already bloodied face.

She needed to get going soon, or more of these will show up, maybe Badaria itself has the Raiders, perhaps not, she would have to see after she's found the Raiders hideout. She pushed the thoughts out of her mind as she charged, ready to attack the Plant-Creature

To-hit: 14 + 42 = 56 vs 33 == Hit.
Damage: 1 + 2 + 21 = 24 damage.

Claras boot tears into the side of the creatures neck as it tries to rise back to its feat, taking a large chunk out of its body. Its head is only loosely connected at this point, and the plant collapses to the ground, motionless. Her boot are club are covered in the plants green gore, and she has a few scratches on her flesh and her armor, but she is otherwise alright.

(Gain 2 exp.)
 
Re: No More Monsters (Cappy)

Clara would briefly skin over the plant creatures bodies for anything of use or value at all, before deciding to continue South, this time more warily, she didn't want to get caught by surprise.

These strange plant creatures where probably well populated here, if she had encountered two at once, maybe it would be best to make post-haste on her traveling, Clara decided to jog towards the South, see if she could make her way to the Outpost of the Raiders before Evening overtook. perhaps it would be wise to keep moving.
(Search bodies for loot, move South again, also, I added the exp in Char Sheet)

Clara began moving on after finding nothing of any apparent value on the plant creatures corpses, her wounds already beginning to heal. She kept up her pace throughout the afternoon and into the night, occasionally spotting something moving but never stopping to check since nothing else sprung out to attack her. Eventually, she found herself coming out of the woods into a small clearing that became a sort of ravine. The ravine had been paved, however, and she could dimly make out the sight of a cave or mine opening up in front of her. Three small shacks stood in front of her as well, one much larger than the other two and having a single window on one side. A single road lead down to a town, where Clara could see firelights in a few places, though they looked much larger than was safe.
 
Re: No More Monsters (Cappy)

Clara Looked closely at the Ravine, perhaps she would re-enter this Cave of sorts later... But for now, she needed to see what was happening with this town, and these houses, She walked over carefully to the larger building, and tried to look through the window without alerting anybody to her presence, she needed to scope things out to her advantage, and see if she was actually in the right place. Perhaps she could isolate an enemy and determine what's what.

With that though in mind she snuck slowly through, carefully looking all around, she didn't want to get caught by surprise by some weary guard.

(Sneak-Mode, look through larger building window if I can get past the Ravine.)

Clara cautiously steps up to the largest of the huts and glances inside. She sees that it is devoid of life, and seemed to be some kind of office, due to the desks and shelves that seemed to take up much of the room. She also saw a door on the right side of the room, though that had no window on this side of the building for her to look into.
 
Re: No More Monsters (Cappy)

Clara would cautiously try to enter the room, and look over it's entirety, the room may have something important, maybe even information, she would turn to the other door after looking through everything as quietly as possible, until then it could wait.

Clara began to walk carefully around the grass and dirt, looking for the right entrance to the building, so that she could quickly try push her way through it, if it was locked, she would try smash the lock, and then do the same thing if nobody interrupts.
