Re: Baptism by Fire (Occam, Squid, Kathy)
Kriia yelps in pain as one of the opposing arrows finally goes beyond 'too close for comfort' and skims her waist, dragging a long bloody cut down her side and flicking a small spatter of red across the clean white of her left wing. As painful as it was, it didn't seem like a serious injury. Spotting Flowers approaching and feeling her supportive magic wash over her was very reassuring, calling out to her mostly unfamiliar but clearly friendly kin with evident relief showing through the pained expression. "Hey! Great timing!"
Continuing her almost circular arcing swoop she directs her path straight at the rival archer now, aiming to join up with Flow and finish this particular opponent off.
[AP3 move downwards for 7 squares.]
[AP6 attack with bow twice]

Re: The Desecrated Tranquil (Ranger Princess, Aztlan, Keylo, MBS)
"While I appreciate your concern, it seems fairly clear that the Ursa are involved in this, willing or not. I'm aware that they would not do this under normal circumstances and that there's some outside cause at work here, but unless you've got some idea as to what this source is, the circle has decided this is a necessary measure to protect the forest and its creatures," the head of the band replied, clearly irritated. "That fact that two of the three attacks have indeed occured near where the ursa makes their homes as well as the savage power shown in the attacks all but confirms their involvement. Unless you've got proof of some other creature that could have done this?"
He paused for only a moment. "I didn't think so. Now we're going to go and carry out our mission, I trust you will not get in our way?"

Re: The Ill-Portented Expedition (crossgrave, blueslime, chibi)
Satuma shrugged at Soren's question and looked his way. "They've lost a lot of their pack. They're not going to take us on in a direct fight again, but that doesn't mean they won't try for an opportunity to pick one of us off if we get separated. They'll follow us until we're out of their territory, then they'll hunt for better game."
That was the way of all territorial animals, Satuma supposed. She wasn't a wildlife expert, but her expansive general knowledge combined with the experience of several military excursions into the wild had taught her that much.

Re: The Village of the Wayward Lambs (Pale, Oamp)
The goddess tilted her head to one side, staring at the newcomer who stepped forth, before a look of recognition passed over her face. "Ah... one of the Oracles... what brings Vira's enigmatic protectors to my humble abode?" she replied in a whimsical voice, almost mocking the robed figure before her.
The villagers seemed to recover slightly, still murmuring to one another but they seemed to be more accepting to this unusual sight before them simply because another, even less familiar figure had presented themselves. Perhaps inadvertently, she seemed to have helped the ‘goddess’ to further her control of a crowd unsure if they were going to accept her.

Re: The Desecrated Tranquil (Ranger Princess, Aztlan, Keylo, MBS)
Akana stayed propped near the tree, slightly slouched over, eyes clenched shut... Trying to will away the still bubbling emotion before it reached an overboil once again...
(There... Being so... STUPID! This hunt is just an excuse to kill...) If the Ursa WERE to blame, then someone was manipulating them... That much had reached a concensus... But after the work is finished the controller would do one of two different things...
Either set the Ursa free after it's job is done...
Or take it with you as it proved to be an excellent tool...
Both cases the Ursa here are no longer being controlled, and are innocent...
Akana wanted to blurt more out... Possibly to make the fairys see reason... But knew they were dead set on the ritualistic slaughter...
"Almost as bad as the monster..." she uttered bitterly
She knew it wasn't true... But she just couldn't stomach the thought of wonton slaughter... Even more horrendous, that a whole circle had commanded it...

Re: The Desecrated Tranquil (Ranger Princess, Aztlan, Keylo, MBS)
Alariël glared at the group of fairies. Hating their twisted logic, logic that gives the excuse to kill innocent creatures. I can't prove that the Ursa didn't do it, but Alariël did have an idea. She told the fairies "I'll come along, I won't kill any Ursa, but if I see someone supicious, someone controlling the Ursa I will fight them." Alariël then walked to the group of fairies.

Re: Escape from Dracholt (Sinfulwolf)
"Izzat so?" the bartender replied as he firmly placed down the bottle upon the bar top and almost as a second thought placed down a small glass next to it. He watched her appraisingly for a long moment, before nudging his head to one side. "Through there, down the ladder," he mumbled, apparently gesturing to a curtain behind the bar as he slid the coins off his side of the bar.
Making her way around the bar, Meaghan noticed she wasn't the only girl to slip around onto this side, a somewhat scruffy looking vampyre was on her knees 'attending' to the proprietor. With one hand, he gestured down, and then to the curtain and the moment she squatted down out of sight he stopped paying her any attention. Should she linger or approach him rather than heading towards the curtain, he'd once again point towards it, having her duck down was merely a convenient justification for her crossing to this side of the bar and one people were used to seeing, although the scruffy looking girl kept her eyes on Meaghan the entire time as she made long, deliberate tongue strokes.
Behind the curtain was a storeroom, fairly typical for what you'd expect; shelves covered in various substances, a moderate variety but a decent stockpile of the more popular drinks, although in a space in the middle was the faint outline of a trap door. There was clearly a room at the bottom, for it was faintly lit, but the narrow shaft leading down into it means she could barely see anything until she had made it down there. A few storage crates were stacked around, as well as a couple of tables and benches and standing in front of one, or rather leaning upon it, was a familiar youth with an unfamiliar young lady hanging off one arm. By appearance, one might guess they were related, they did hold a strong similarity to one another. The girl leaned in to nibble upon his ear as her hand circled around the front of his pants, but he seemed to pay little mind to her as he watched Meaghan descend.

-------------
Swooping around to close on the archer, Kriia looses a pair of shots, both of which strike true. With the opposing harpy beginning to wobble in the air and hesitate, it was clear she was getting somewhere and enhanced by Flow's spell, she easily dodged his retaliatory arrows which sailed harmlessly down to the earth below.
The spear wielding harpy, however, changed his priorities and rather than continuing to chase the nimble huntress around, shot directly at the newly arrived Flow, spear tip pointed forwards. She dodged to one side, evading the strike without too much difficulty, but now had a spearman in her face, so to speak.

Re: Escape from Dracholt (Sinfulwolf)
Metting the scruffy woman's gaze for a moment, Meaghan kissed her fingertips and ran them gently across the woman's bared back, a coy smile tugging at the corner of her lips before sliding behind the curtain.
In the store room she took only a quick look around before pulling open the trap door and descending down the ladder, closing the doorway behind her. She moved quickly, sliding down the last few feet and landing easily on her feet. As she looked around this new room she quickly caught sight of the stranger from before, with what appeared to be a relative. A sister perhaps, and by the way she leaned in to nip at his ear and grasp his crotch, Meaghan assumed a lover as well.
The sight was not the most common thing amongst Vampyre's but it was certainly not frowned upon.
Meaghan nodded slightly. "Etiel I take it," she said with a throaty purr, an image of him naked beneath her floating across her mind.

Re: An Ancient Compact (Farren, Gargantuablarg, Copper)
The leader of the watch shook his head. ”I don’t know what to tell you, we’ve got plenty of people who’ll attest, Norris here came running back into down only a moment before the pair of you were sighted,” he explained, which got a murmur of nods from the assembled mob. ”And I don’t know who this dark haired fellow you’re talking about is, because Norris came running back alone. As far as your motives, we’ve stopped trying to figure those out. For a long time we had a friendship with your people, but now you curse out village with disasters and monsters. What is luring away one watchmen compared to that? So unless you can produce this mysterious dark haired individual, I think we’re done here and I’ll ask the pair of you to go and leave us in peace.”

Soren made a small sound of acknowledgement and quirked a smile even though she couldn't see it without looking back. "Still in the mood to see my art?" he asked wryly.

Re: Escape from Dracholt (Sinfulwolf)
"One of the names I go by, yes," he replied with an incline of his head and a flourish with his free hand. "And as you may have guessed, this is Saerus." The girl glanced at Meaghan before swooning, rolling her head back and grinding her hips against her brother's leg, her hand wrapping firmly around his crotch, only for him to brush her aside. "Honestly, we've got more important things to do now," he chided her as he stepped forwards. "This is perhaps the only place safe to talk..."
"As I hope you're aware, I want you to deliver a package out of the city, specifically to our closest neighbours, the Lamian Principality. This is probably your only chance to get out of here, if that is indeed what you desire, things are starting to get pretty bad. You probably aren't aware of this, but vampyres as we are now are much weaker and more tame than we were the last shadowfall, when we served the Accursed; some of us are trying to change this and the results are not pretty..."
Saerus had shrunk down to her knees as she was brushed aside, but made her way back over to her brother, pawing at his pants once more with one hand as the other disappeared into the top of hers; clearly a slave to her lusts, at least at this moment.

Re: Baptism by Fire (Occam, Squid, Kathy)
Kriia draws and aims once more, staring down her foe harshly. From this close distance, it was easy to see the growing fear in her opponents eyes. She'd seen it hundreds of times from animals that needed putting down after immobilising it during a hunt, but this was different. Despite the fury she had carried with her from the fires back home, turning her arrows upon her own kind like this felt wrong. But had these murderers felt any such wrongness when they torched her own kin?
She looses her arrow, and suddenly lunging the small remaining distance between them twists to aim a hard kick to the archers jaw.
[AP3 bow attack]
[AP0 One square free move (F9)]
[AP2 Aim action]
[AP4 Natural attack]
(Inefficient combat is just more fun sometimes.)

Re: Escape from Dracholt (Sinfulwolf)
Meaghan kept her eyes flicking back and forth between Etiel, the man she'd fucked only an hour or so before, and Saerus, who was startlingly attractive. Especially caught in the throes of desire as she was now.
Even as she watched the assumed sister with interest clear in her eyes, she listened intently to the brother, and let his words sink in slowly.
"It is certainly an opportunity. There's not much I can do within these walls, I just don't have the contacts to stop anything. Outside though... I'm hoping to help stop these Accursed, somehow," Meaghan said darkly, her fingers tapping at the hilt of her sword.
She stood there a moment, thinking, before her curiosity piqued up. She never could deny it too much. "What have the results been?" she asked.

Re: The Village of the Wayward Lambs (Pale, Oamp)
As it served her immediate goals to bolster and reinforce the reputation of this so-called Goddess - passing her message on to one in power would, after all, greatly lessen the amount of work the Oracle herself had to do -, she's only too happy to continue... despite the subtle mockery.
"There is no easy, or happy way to say this, friend.. but the Darkness stirs once more. The long-prophesied coming of the Dark to oppose our Light is on us once more, rising to plunge the world into war, perhaps for the last time."
A deliberately theatrical pause, to let the words sink in, confusion and panic rise in the peasants.
"Obviously.. you are but humble folk. Such news is hardly something that will dramatically change your lives. But if you are wise.. you will prepare. Stockpile your food, preserve what can be preserved. Practise with the bow and the spear, make weapons and armour. Put aside your petty differences and -prepare-. Any rivalries that once you had.. forget. There is a storm coming.. and if we do not cling to one another, we shall be swept away. Thank you for listening.. and farewell. I have many towns to warn, and precious little time."
And with that, she turns, as if intending to leave right there and then, pack on her back and robes drawn close around her form, gliding back through the crowd she'd just parted. Expecting to be called back, of course.. but leaving, or making the appearance, nonetheless.

Re: Escape from Dracholt (Sinfulwolf)
Etiel screwed up his face slightly. "Well, they have managed to make chosen test subjects bigger... stronger... more powerful... but at the same time, they are even more savage, even more a slave to passions. One could almost mistake them for barely sentient any more, but that would be a terrible mistake; they are just as intelligent as they were previously, if not more-so, however their passions often get in the way of this intelligence. Furthermore, physical mutation is often a side effect of the process and I fear... I fear they intend to turn every last one of us into this new breed."
The man paused, letting the message sink in for a moment, although the silence was interrupted by short gasps and moans from Saerus who seemed unconcerned by this warning in her present state. "Mm... brother... please..." she almost begged, but was once again ignored by Etiel, who strode away from her to move over to some of the crates, shifting them about.
He pulled forth a small black pack from behind one of them. "This is the package. It is very important you do not open it until it reaches its destination and that you are very gentle with it. It is very dangerous and to do so would place your life in great danger. Deliver it to the head of the Lamian University, if anyone will know what to do with it, it will be them."

Re: An Ancient Compact (Farren, Gargantuablarg, Copper)
"Fine," Nae replied, shaking as she balled her hands at her sides. "If you don't care to discuss this further then we'll leave you in peace. I'm not about to let any harm come to Keti though." She turned around, closing her eyes and trying to hold back the urge to shout or cry at this whole situation. It was clear no one was going to listen to them, at least not enough of them to change the situation. For all she knew at this point the whole village was in on it anyway so perhaps the whole things was pointless.
"Keti, lets go." She speaks up a little more quietly, trying to keep her voice as flat as she could. She would wait until he was ready to leave but she was quite done with talking to these people, her mind already racing to figure something else out.

"Keti, lets go." She speaks up a little more quietly, trying to keep her voice as flat as she could. She would wait until he was ready to leave but she was quite done with talking to these people, her mind already racing to figure something else out.

Re: Escape from Dracholt (Sinfulwolf)
Raising an eyebrow Meaghan took the pack, and carefully slung it over one shoulder. "Can you at least tell me what it is? And how I'm sliding out past the guards?" she asked, letting her eyes slide down the Saerus.
So... the girl confirmed it herself. They were siblings.

Re: An Ancient Compact (Farren, Gargantuablarg, Copper)
Shaking his head a little, Atair strides out a bit further, keeping himself paced between the sirens and the elves. His attention is mostly on the merfolk, but he's not completely ignoring the villagers either.
"Something tells me you can point a lot easier than you can describe." His words are more for the male siren than the female. "They wish proof of your second attacker. Help us find them." He turns back to the leader of the militia. "If he can't play, he's no threat, right? Let him find the other he claims he saw. Then perhaps we can resolve this...peacefully. Something tells me they don't want any more trouble than you folk do. What do you say?" He arches his brows, a bit of an expectant look on his face.
