Brodus

Brodus paused. He certainly couldn't argue with the pyromistress's logic - it made sense, But there were still a few seeds of doubt in his mind. He considered fighting Ubaid without killing him, but if he couldn't absorb the soul this whole thing was just a waste of energy. It annoyed him, too - he could only summon a soul to aid him once, and neither those spearmen or mages had gone down easily in the first place.

He flicked his visor back down, and looked towards Ubaid. He had his sword in an on guard position but he did not attack. "With this soul-sucking sword..." He began, tapping the blade with his hand. "It'll be very difficult to fight you, a ghost, without killing you. I suppose we could go to first blood, but you don't seem like the type of ghost to bleed and besides - I've already wounded you."

"Fortunately for you, there are other people to challenge - if Soahc still thinks I need to prove myself." He went on. "So, if you call off your minions I'll walk out of here and we can part on good terms. Or as close to good two people who just tried to murder each other can get. What do you say?" Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

Farmlands

"I will be more than happy to take the role of first watch, if you woul-" Monsieur Federico began to respond to Rovaan, stopping perhaps when he felt Etheldredda's gaze fall upon him.

"Judy, keep an eye on the guildmaster," Etheldredda ordered off-handedly. Judy had a habit of turning up miraculously wherever Annie was, so the hagspawn didn't question her arrival.

"Oui, a very close eye, Judith," said Federico, winking at Judy.

Up ahead was one of the many streams that coursed through these parts, fertilising the farmlands and more importantly heading south to feed into the River Elopa on its winding journey towards Copperdale. The brook here was thick enough that a stone bridge had been built to grant passage, wind-rotten and moss covered. Four unlit torches stood at the bridge's centre, and mud and wooden planks had been placed over the walkways to compensate for whatever rock had already been eroded.

Kuro, as scout, was the first to cross. The other side of the bridge gave way to woodland, thin enough that one could see light shining through from the other side. Red squirrels scurried from branch to branch, fighting one another for nuts whilst acorns lay strewn across the far-side of the stream's banks, forgotten.

Kuro's horse would have just passed the halfway point when Zed's detection ward started to go haywire.

A few moments later, Siera's instrumental companion would detect movement up ahead.

Below the bridge, a boulder seemed to shift.

It came from either side of the bridge, hands reaching up like a colossal crab. Blanket weed had wrapped itself around the arms, half-concealing bone-white skin which was wrinkled and decrepit from years of being submerged. They came up as slow as undulating snakes, poised to strike. From years of experience, the hands would only be visible to whoever was on the bridge itself for half a second before the trap snapped shut.

Kuro would see the fingers rise from over the edges of the bridge, as long as swords with gnarled, black, pus-filled nails that could gut a man. He'd have less than an instant to react to this, as the arms, thrice as long as a man was tall, came rocketing together, one from either side, trying to seize Kuro and his horse both, and submerge them into its watery depths...

Onslaught of Oakfoot- Ryokin

"You see before you the new and greatest leader of the hags," Cold Ethyl boasted to the demon. Having abandoned the Great Mother had done little and less to hurt the creature's pride. "If you are quite the man you say you are, I'm sure my sisters would be happy to... satisfy you," her raven-black eyes twinkled with malice and mischief.

"But I hold myself out for another," she established vaguely. Listening to Ryokin's list of self-given titles, the hag hissed in distaste at being offered a deal. "I must already deal with Bloodgift's follies, I will not tolerate yours as well. I want no part in your deals, demon. Do you know where that self-loving god has disappeared to? We've delayed here too long, and attract too much attention. The self-destructive fool would have us defeated before we reached our true goal."

Onslaught of Oakfoot- Sileo

Sileo tossed the antidote, and Raspur barked, "Now!"

Between Sileo's calm and collected conversing and Raspur's prolonged monologue, more than one mercenary had slipped into place. The Shrouded Elf was the first to attack, firing out blasts of dark-coloured energy which took the same look as fire, though the true purpose of what the spell would do if it came into contact with Sileo was up in the air. Kristov sliced open the cultist's throat and then tossed the weapon at the assassin to buy him time to withdraw his scimitar, Smiler.

On the opposite side of the alleyway, Gunner Ryold was approaching, his blunderbuss loaded. His weapon poised and ready, he seemed to be waiting for Sileo to dodge the others' attacks before he took his shot. And above on the roofs was one-eyed, earless Black Axe, with his signature double-sided war axe in hand, his shaggy beard stained crimson by whatever he had been doing. Unlike the others he did not engage, he simply watched.

Before the antidote vial had even hit the floor, Raspur had spun on his heels and fled. He had little doubt that the flechette was poisoned, but even smaller doubt that the antidote was no antidote either. What he was hoping to find when he ran away, no one could be sure, perhaps to beg Soahc for his life. Either way, the man had scampered.

The Plucky Hecatonchire

"If you've got money for that, be my guest," said Rickard Herring with a half-smile. "I could barely afford last month's rent, and I certainly can't get this months in time. So no horse or magic armour and- did you just call me a sidekick?" Rickard shook his head disapprovingly. "I'm the oldest, you're my sidekick," he gave the kid a challenging grin.

"I can heal the boy," came a soft, tittering voice, and a short man, hunched over in a large trench-coat approached. His eyes were covered by large goggles, with several lenses attached to the side, and a bandana covered the mouth, with just a rat-like nose sticking through. The stranger seemed nervous and fretful, twitchy as well, and his eyes couldn't be seen behind the darks of his glasses.

"Sephys Suran is my name, and I am utterly at your service," he gripped Desmo's hand in-between his two paws and bowed low. "If you would follow me to my laboratory, then I will certainly patch you up in no time at all." Hags be hagglin', gods be god damn crazy, it's all happening ogre at Into The Fire

"Dwarf, yer afta me own 'eart!" Karstone called joyously as Balmor bought the entire pub a round. "Join us in our merriment, as we'll be off to face death and dying lands afore the day is through!" He beckoned the new entrant over, clearly free beer was the way to Karstone Greatjohn's heart.

"Well met, Compton," Karstone said, nodding his shaggy head respectfully at the newly joined man. He caught Henry's glance towards the blue-armoured girl and shared a lecherous grin, revealing weather-worn and rotting teeth. "Ah see yah've go' a taste fer the finer fin*s in life," he threw his head back and laughed, slapping his knee. "Aye, she's a pretty 'un, alrigh'. If you don' pick 'er up, I think I just might." He winked at his comrade knowingly.

Then, to the aged adventurer's delight, the blue-armoured girl and her roguish accomplice came sauntering over. Karstone was always a fan of rogues, they were quick-witted and fought like a ferret in the sack. He licked his aged, cracked lips.

"Karstone Grea'john, at yah service," he introduced himself. "My right-hand, Sir Charles of wherever," he gestured to the inactive character, "An' friend, Henry Compton." He waved towards the newest addition to the team.

"I'm Alania Clarke of Engelain," boasted Alania in her usual rhetoric.

"Ain't we all?" Asked Karstone sceptically. They were in Engelain, there seemed to be little reason to establish where they were from. "And who is this fine, young specimen you bring afore me?" A large, cheese-eating grin was sent to flatter Alicia. Hags be hagglin', gods be god damn crazy, it's all happening ogre at Into The Fire

Judy said with a smile," you got it." She rolled her eyes at the guild master from what he said to her. She watched the guild master like a hawk as she walked right next to him. She does him trust him because she thinks he was a coward in the battle of demons because he ran away in that battle.

Annie walked quietly as she watched for danger. She been keeping herself open so she can sense something ahead of them. She felt something ahead and drew her sword and prepared herself to use magic. She also got a weird feeling when Judy had joined them like something was different in her. But she doesn't know what it was. She yelled,"there is something ahead. I think we are going to be attacked." -Dances-

The Cathedral

Ubaid nodded, and the gem in his sword pulsed predictably. "I did say you would most likely win," he repeated, as his minions backed off suspiciously, "And do not desire to put this further to the test." He glanced up into the rafters, and shrugged. "Sorry."

The Bearers were still intact, although the rest of his slaves had fared rather more poorly. He also didn't care about the rest of them; with a wave of his hand, he tasked the undead to collecting the gory remains of their fallen comrades. Those that could be salvaged (a judgement he left to the Twins, when they finally arrived) would be stitched back together and made ready for reanimation at the town's graveyard. Those too badly damaged to serve as a shell would be hurled into the pentagram, to feed the beating heart.

Speaking of the heart, he lowered his sword and turned away from Brodus, watching through the eyes of the rotting hunchback in case he tried to run Ubaid through when his back was turned. Whatever blood had been left in the Dean's corpse had been pumped out onto the floor by now, the red muscle still beating in time with its feast. It had suffered no damage, and the ritual had not been interrupted, and so he decided to agree with the fallen knight. "No hard feelings," he said slowly, the phrase unfamiliar to him but apparently quite common in the modern day.

There was not much left for him to do here, but time was an issue. He could examine his saviour in detail later. "You must be the one we have been waiting for," he directed back at the rafters, waving for the skeletal child to fetch his athame from the podium, "Did the Great Deceiver issue us further orders? Or may I return to carrying out his last set of instructions, without him sending people to kill me?" He glanced at Brodus, and then at his sword. "Remind me to talk to him about that, when next we meet." All seeing. All knowing. All scumbag.

Farmland bridge

"Oh hell!", exclaimed Kuro as the long fingers came out from under the bridge. He drew his sword in an instant from the saddle bag. Kuro then said to his horse, "Get us off this bridge!" He spoke as he parried a nail.

This was new, something wanted him in the water, he knew he'd best stay on the land rather than getting pulled into the water by an unknown creature. Kuro's horse bucked backwards Meanwhile Kuro's body reacting to the current threat.

His body began to spark, red electrical wisps of light sparked from his body trying to take shape. Kuro caught on to what was happening his body was trying to use the demonic aura to protect itself. He didn't have time to think, the others would be getting close any minute now, he didn't want them to get pulled into this creature.

He let the power flow out of him, the red sparks turned into a steady stream of light like energy that surrounded his body Covering his body, in a slightly different shape rather than his own. Taking the shape of a humanoid demon. The red aura, was see through, his head was surrounded by it near the top of his head the were aura like horns. His aura was rather putting a spike like spines all across the aura like body.

The horse, not caring of the slight change of Kuro it kept trying to move back to the main land evading the best it could act with more intelligence than a normal horse It was only a few steps away

*uro in this new aura it acts as armor in a way, that is powered by his own energy and the energy of Azul that was merged into his own. Like all magic it drains him of energy, it drains more depending on how much is striking the aura. Kuro was gambling with these things, hoping his inner strength was stronger than they were.

Ryokin and the hag

Laughing Ryokin said, "All business and no play huh? Your sisters would have a lot of fun, it has been quite some time since I entertained for your kind in that way. As for being the leader of your wonderful species. I am now honored you spoke to me." Whether he was speaking truthfully at the last bit there or lying and talking sarcastically it wasn't very apparent.

Ryokin heard her say she waits for another he smiled and said, "Oh there is a hagfather then? How interesting, seeing how most likely you are striving to mate with such creature. One would think you would target the god over that of a creature you don't know of. Having a child that could have divined gifts, rather than having a child with a creature of this low existence"

He then strolled over to the other part of the conversation when she said she wouldn't make a deal with him he then said, "You honestly don't know me very well, you only have to ask for your desire and I would go make it happen. Lets see I can get you the hagfather, the greatest hope for your race. Get him to meet with you and your children will be so powerful."

Pausing to take a breath, he then said, "To give this kind of deal would need payment of some kind. Normally I accept souls, but I think you can give me something else." Not answering the final question just yet Ryokin waited to see if his offer would spark an interest.

"Oh going on an adventure are we? You can count me in" Balmor said with a smiled he heard someone yell they were leaving he then said, "Let me introduced himself, I am Balmor, I hope you dont mind if I tag along. This sounds something can be gained from this kind of venture."
