Terrador Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Angus groans softly--it at least looked as if Claire was alright after being tossed face-first into a pegasus. Perhaps battered and bruised, but in good enough health to roast Angus' arse over an open fire after the battle, at least. [Well, what's one more girl with half a mind to kill me, after all the rest?] Baron Kearney pauses for a moment, the lull in battle all too tempting. Those two... still moving well, crimson or not. Doug and Claire would be more than capable of disarming that ballista. Owen, though, Angus couldn't see. [After whatever brilliant bullshit 'e had up 'is sleeve earlier... he's gotta just be behind th'castle. Th'twins came for us, an' we did just fine.] [The twins.] Young Kearney looks back to the two bodies, robbed of their souls. No... only one. [Cass might've gotten lucky, but at least she took hers with some honesty. Apellon... rotten bastard. Needed a merc t'do my work.] He spurs Agro away from the corpses--they would need to be buried, but that could at least wait. The knight stands in his saddle... still, no sight of an enemy, barring that thief. Absent any compulsion for haste or thought, Angus finds himself staring blankly at Serge for a few moments. Why so much bluster out of a professional? A warrior who talks like the greenest squire? "Don't make no damn sense," he mutters, almost to himself.

Frostivus Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) [spoiler=One more for the road]Anyone who walked into the gardens that day would have found a most peculiar sight: the rarity that was Scuttle up early in the morning, bouquet of flowers in hand, talking animatedly. While Scuttle had been caught with stranger things like bodybags and newt poison, and talking seemed to come easier to her than breathing, perhaps what was most unusual with the sight was the person Scuttle was talking to. “Hull’s been practically abuzz lately. All kinds of stories. Did you hear about farmer Juno’s latest fib this time? About the zombie rabbit eating his crops?” she chuckled, “He never learns, does he?” Scuttle took the silence from her listener as an encouraging sign to continue filling it. “And the heroes, wow. They’ve kept us bards busy. You know what they say. Nothing happens for years, then years happen in days. Very interesting times. Talk about incoming war with Raewald. Bandit armies sailing across the seas. Regicide. I’ve been practising with my bow. Been getting better at it. Honest!” The peal of the clock tower bells interrupted her rather one-sided conversation. “Gotta go. Adventure beckons! They’re about to set sail to bandit country!” Scuttle said in a whisper, balling up her fists with a silent ‘yay’. “I’ll be back, I promise.” She laid the bouquet of flowers down onto the tombstone. She pointed both fingers up to the sky. “You stay safe up there, Javier! Remember, you can take a break every now and then. Nobody needs saving too much where you are, you know.” Scuttle clambered over the walls of the private estate, and disappeared into the fog of Hull. The tulips around the tombstone had bloomed. It was amazing how well-groomed it stayed, as if tended to nearly everyday for hours on end by caring and dextrous hands. "There's nothing to be worried about, honest!" Scuttle said to both Cass and Adele in mid-fire, quite unsure if she had hit her target because it would be rude not to make eye contact with someone she was talking to. "Why, just look at how unabashedly happy the Duchess of Dougistan is with her consort! I would think it wouldn't matter who I was in love with if I could be swept off my feet for a romantic flight over a lake! It looked like the lady was so taken by the romance she had a fainting spell!" The distant cries of a man in arrow-pierced agony filled in her silent interval as she took a breath. "I'm just glad Sir Angus is understanding enough to know that those bachelorette days need to be cherished in full!" she said, then glanced pointedly to over the lake. "Speaking of which, we should probably help with that. Whatever's happening down south, I don't want to miss."

Nanami Touko Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 "Of course, Adele..." Cass mustered a smile and let her move on, hoping there wouldn't be anymore of the woman's wounds to be closed, later. Scuttle, on the other hand, seemed to have a wound that no staff could fix. Her ability to interpret. "Scuttle, that's not... I..." Cass didn't quite know what to say. She'd heard vague mention of whatever these bachelorette days were, but Scuttle's assumptions were just so far off the mark. Cass wondered if it wasn't some play, or a joke, and she truly did understand what was going on. No one could be this naive. "We have to talk. After the fight. Find a moment to speak with me."

Dandragon Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 As Serge ran across the sand of the beach, he couldn't help but notice a stray bandit come out of one of the smaller forts that occupied the beach. It seemed that the armorknight Freya and the mage...Alain was it?...Had attempted to gang up on the brigand, but alas he was still alive. It's fine. It's fine. It's just one bandit. They can handle it. I need to go check up on the bottom side of the island... Make sure Larissa is safe... Paranoia was creeping into his mind again. Well, not necessarily creeping, but rather like ramming itself into it his brain, injecting thoughts into his mind. And he couldn't help but remember how earlier there had been a bandit that had caught Adele of guard and nearly killed her. No, it's fine... It's FINE! They have several other people there...Several...People... "...Oh, god DAMMIT!" He turned himself, rushing towards the bandit, grabbing him by the head and punching him in the gut, before using the same hand to draw his sword into the bandits throat, slitting it wide open.

Xinnidy Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 More enemies, Owen rose his sword with a tired look on his face. At this point, the bandits' tricks were mostly over with (at least, he well hoped they were), and a few reinforcements they easily outnumbered did little to daunt the prince. I've lost my patience, we would be well on our way if they hadn't interfered. Maybe their leader would be more reasonable and call for a surrender soon. Maybe not.

Toogee Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Doug's victory over the ballistician proved short-lived; it was an ambush. He had failed to see the javelin jettisoned from the castle and into his side. Luckily, Doug wasn't impaled, but he certainly needed a breather. As the rider lowered to the ground, a bandit took the opportunity to finish of the duke. The axe tore into Doug's back; if it weren't for a mysterious healing, that would have been the end of his legacy. Yet Doug stood back up, much to his enemy's surprise. "If you strike at the Duke of Dougistan, you'd better finish. DOUGISTAN DOUBLE!!!" Doug followed up with an attack, twirling his lance into the bandit's face. One strike hit one side, another hit his left. The bandit was down. Claiming victory yet losing lots of blood, Doug got back on his pegasus and headed north to regroup., completely forgetting about Claire. He made a beeline for Cass, but really wasn't in a state of mind to ask for healing. "DOUGISTANDS!" he shouted in her face, which roughly translated to "I've lost too much blood to form a coherent thought. Please help." Fortunately, that was specific enough to warrant a healing. Doug would live to fight another day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanami Touko Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) Not in a rush to keep up with the group with the rest of their enemies dead, Cass started to drag behind a little bit, keeping to herself and trying to stay calm. That wasn't exactly easy to do with a pegasus rushing towards you and the rider barking some stupid pun of their stupid country whilst nearly bleeding to death! "UGH!" she shrieked, bashing Doug on the leg with her staff, healing him at the same time, albeit painfully. "Don't you dare do that again, Doug! I don't care if you're a count now!" She huffed, and walked off, letting his javelin wounds heal, and hoping the new one on his leg would bruise for a while.

Jotari Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 One of the enemy bowman shot an arrow at Emmet. In the last second the scholar stepped to the side, working on instinct more than intelligence. He spun around in a full circle for no logical reason and launched an arrow without taking the time to aim. It managed to embed itself directly between his enemy's eyes. "That was bloody amazing" Emmet exclaimed. He wasn't the vain sort in any measure of the word but he really hoped someone had been watching what was possibly the greatest feet of archery he would ever pull off. He was feeling pumped now. Like he had suddenly grown much stronger. He was ready to take on a dozen foes....but it turns out the battle practically over already. With a disappointed sigh he got ready to do the rounds of post battle healing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAP COMPLETE The bandits that had attacked were vanquished, none of their offense had survived the response from Owen's party. However, that still left them with the mysterious Malaphar, who had chosen to watch their assault on the castle. Standing silently, the sorcerer smirked, watching as the cold wind passed over the corpse of the general. The fort itself was mostly made of stone, far cruder and uglier than anything in Wyke. "The savages continue to surprise me..." he muttered, looking back at Owen's group. There was much to talk about with the young prince. Nelon climbed from his horse, approaching Owen slowly. "Prince Owen... do you know this individual?" he asked, looking ahead at the wizard. "I cannot say I recognise him... and quite truthfully, I cannot say that I am quite comfortable with his presence." Larissa let out a sigh, slumping down onto her knees. "This mercenary thing's harder than I thought." she lamented, amazed at how her own wounds had been healed by Emmet. She'd used a staff before, but never had she actually been on the receiving end of healing. Looking up at the bowman, she let out a laugh. "Not quite as much of a bookworm as I thought, I was worried you'd poke your own eye out." -- "Hey boss, wait for us!" The northern group were met by the calls of Hans and Lars, leading the remaining members of the group towards Serge and his allies. All of Valter's daughters, as well as the Reliants, were present, even Geoffrey was in Lars' mighty grip. They appeared mostly unharmed, although a little on the damp side - Emily in particular seemed rather displeased. Panting as they tried to catch their breath, Hans approached Serge. "Boss, we got out safe... except for the Captain." Hans explained, still slightly winded. "He said if he sunk, the Prince and his crew would be stranded. He said he was going to try and anchor down further north. Couldn't follow him though... path looked real nasty." Chapter 5 Completed! Routed all enemies [spoiler=BEXP] Owen gains 30 BEXP!

Jotari Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Emmet looked around to try and discover who was talking to him before noticing the dancer sitting on the ground. "Oh. Bookworm? Is that what you thought of me?" Emmet laughed slightly. "Well I am in many ways but I've had more than a little experience in this line of work. You surprised me too. I thought you the ship's whore till you took to the battlefield. I dare say it's always good to have an extra healer and your dancing really seemed to improve morale."
