The Plucky Hecatonchire

Rickard raised a sceptical eyebrow as Desmo described his encounter with forest demons the size of houses, but burst into a broad grin the moment the boy mentioned taking them out with a single finger. The easy confidence this boy displayed thrilled Rickard to no end- and if even half of what he said was true, he would prove an invaluable asset.

"Well then, my lord of the green hill, shall we be off?" He asked with a smirk, leading his young charge out of the door and onto the North-Eastern Trail .

Leaving the Hecatonchire behind, they crossed paths with one or two lonely cottages, and then they were out in the wilderness proper. Up in the hills of the ogres, wildlife commonly known to man was left behind, and instead they were faced with the myriad peculiar animals that roamed these lands. Large-nosed saigas sprinting along, whilst flocks of King-of-Saxony, yellow-bodied, trail-feathered birds of paradise flittered in and out of the trees, as the harsh terrain began to give away to forest land.

"So, when we meet these ogres, do we treat them as friends or foe?" Rickard asked conversationally of Desmond, though his eyes were trained sharply on the gaps in the trees, looking for any signs of an ambush. Hags be hagglin', gods be god damn crazy, it's all happening ogre at Into The Fire

Farmlands

In the moments that the troll was last standing, it spared a few moments to look in Siera’s direction. She wasn’t sure why it was giving her such a look, although perhaps it was because she was the only one around besides Annie that was not engaged in full combat. It wasn’t the troll’s fault that she couldn’t answer it even if she wasn’t playing her flute, and so she just kept playing even if it wanted her to interject somehow.

Then it tried to answer, and things got even stranger. That seemed to be a trend with everything recently, so much so that she had stopped being fully surprised by it. The surprise factor was still there, but it was dulled to the point where she no longer stopped playing for a moment in shock. It still took her a moment to think about what had happened and try to process it, but that moment was taken up just as much by the notes flowing from her instrument.

In the few moments that the falcon was still in view, the musician considered to try and catch it. That sadly proved to be impossible, the net she wanted to weave taking too long and the bird escaping into the sky and over the forest. The pile of skin that it left behind was the intriguing bit, though, as it contained none of the internal organs that a creature such as a troll should possess. The falcon had flown too fast to be normal, and the only thing that she could think of was that it had been some sort of magical catalyst that had allowed another to control the construct that had been the troll.

Unfortunately, there was no time for her to examine it. The man that she had given the magical vision to was now running over the bridge with more brigands in tow, and there was nobody left to defend here besides herself and Annie. The Guildmaster was useless, she had finally decided, and since she still did*’* want to aggressively act it seemed Annie was the only one who could actually fight them.

It left her in the situation of a full support. The barrier around Annie could be compacted and would be shifted to fit her form, moving with her and still providing the same protection should she take the offensive. As for Kuro, Siera gave him a dome shield of his own. Why she had not before wasn’t clear, but maybe she had been hoping that he would be getting up and wouldn’t need it. Either way, she wasn’t going to let brigands move in and finish him off when she could easily protect him.

Soahc’s Band of Merry Mayhem

Kira laughed along with the demigod, although it was more that the notion of someone being able to defeat her at all was preposterous than anything else. Water might be her enemy, but she knew from experience that it would take a lot more than some would-be hero throwing a bucket of it in her direction to stop her flames. He was jesting, in any case, and a good jest deserved a laugh in response.

“

Unless your father likes to consort with demons, he won’t be meeting any of my rivals.

” she commented, a smirk on her lips. “

Humans don’t usually survive a night with me.

”

She almost sounded sorrowful about the latter statement, although anyone with half of a brain would know that, since it was entirely her fault that this was the case, she quite obviously preferred it that way. The demons were something else entirely, since there was only one that could be said to be a true rival. The others were simply entities that she had made deals with and actually paid off her end of the bargain, while the one that she had escaped from hadn’t liked what she had given and decided her life was a better choice. It was one of the few things in her life that had not ended incredibly well, although since she was still alive and with the knowledge and power she had obtained from the deal it had certainly not been bad.

The wagon that pulled up as everyone began to assemble was the greatest source of curiosity to her, as it was the only thing here that she knew nothing about. All of the other minions were at least known in part to her, and their use was clear, but this was something different. The two people attached to it were clearly not here by choice, and that made them curiosities in this army of individuals that did not typically take many prisoners.

“

And what are these for?

* she asked Soahc, approaching the cart and taking a look at both Abraxus and Cadmus. The look she gave both of them was that of a predator examining cornered prey before it pounced, and the smile on her lips matched that mindset as well. If they were to begin their march, she would do her examination as they moved, but either way it would be done. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.

Farmlands - Joric Ironfist

"Looks like you need a hand !"

The poor man this statement was directed at fell to the ground, clutching the bleeding stump that was once his right hand. Joric stood with a grin. He may not approve of unnecessary bloodshed against those who don't deserve it, but as far as he was concerned these bandits were fair game. Some may call him a sadist, but in his eyes he was just trying to add light and humor to an otherwise dark situation.

He was distracted for a few seconds by the troll's body caving in on itself - why had that that happened? A bandit quickly took advantage of this opportunity and jumped on top of him, bringing him to the ground.

Taking out a knife, the bandit attempted to stab the dwarf in the eye. In response Joric instinctively let go of his shield and grabbed the bandit's wrist, stopping the knife with his superior strength. Joric then buried his own weapon into the side of the man's neck whilst yelling "You're a pain in the neck !"

Then Joric noticed the bandits charging across the bridge, and Kuro's unconscious body was the only thing standing in their path. Siera soon created a shield around the body to protect it, but that would do little to stop the bandits from reaching them.

Yelling out another battlecry, the dwarf ran across the bridge and charged the bandits. "Kuro, quit napping!" He yelled as he passed the half-demon, meeting the bandit charge head on.

Onslaught on Oakfoot - Brodus

"I've angered a few knights, heroes, and warrior-priests in my time." Brodus admitted as the walk continued. "Though I never cared to learn their names, and the ones worth remembering have either died or given up on finding me." Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

Then the wagon came into view. "A priest and a boy who is probably too weak to lift a sword." Brodus observed out loud. "Hostages? Sacrifices? I'm assuming it's something like that." He looked towards Soahc for an answer, but in truth was not expecting one.

The Road North - Alicia Vendal

Alicia had taken the tree climbing slowly. Partly to remain silent and partly to listen in on how the conversation with the ogre was progressing. She was about halfway up when she realized diplomacy had worked and there was no reason to be up there.

And then she noticed the giant monster up above.

What the **** is that!? She almost yelled out, but managed to keep it in her thoughts.

Then the monster dived down at the ogre, and Alicia climbed a bit higher, deciding it better to maintain her perch for a presumably inevitable fight. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

Annie moved as fast an elf to attack the bandit. She swung her dagger in a circle. As she was swinging her sword in a circle, she was swinging in circle she moved her dagger fake right and then went left with a dip to hit in the bandit's chest and she kill him. She was helping Kuro and the rest of the group. She shot fire and rock at two other bandits and killing them. -Dances-

The Road North

Charlie, standing right next to the ogre and not expecting this, jumped damn near out of his skin. Falling back a step with his hands clapping to his ears, his profanities drowned out by the mountain's battle-cry, he spun around and feasted his eyes on what had so alarmed his new friend. An awful lot of fuss to make over a Red Furbat, he thought.

He thought again, fast, as the Furbat tucked into a dive. In short order, his keenly honed senses picked out that which he had ignored or glossed over before: The red fur or skin that he thought he had seen was, in fact, what lay beneath; the flecks below the beast were not just a trick of the light, but rather detritus descending unendingly; every extremity that he could make out seemed to end in a point, and it was picking up speed.

He could only come to one conclusion.

" Demon! "

His geniality searing away in a flash, Sir Charles darted forth to stand in solidarity with the bellowing Mugwo, dumping his rucksack onto the dirt. Hoping to kill the hated beast before it got close, his hand darted for the pistol he kept at his side -

Only to grasp at absolutely nothing. Grinding his teeth, he remembered too late that his savior from Capital City had taken his possessions back. The Abbott had made off with his knife, and his shield had allegedly been nowhere to be found, so that left... Oh, s***

"Damn you, Hodgan," he groused anxiously, yanking his sword free with a leathery rasp. He didn't have any time left to grab his helmet and shove it on, for the beast was almost upon them. Doing anything more than standing here, he realised, would just be getting in the way; Mugwo had all the advantages he could ask for right now, apart from a pike, and didn't need a human underfoot

Seething at his impotence, Charles made sure he gave the ogre enough room to move without stepping on his smaller aide, and stood ready to dive in and hack the demon to pieces the second it came down to ground level All seeing. All knowing. All scumbag.

Rovaan laughed maniacally as the brigand fell backwards and began to crawl away. But the poor soul was unarmed now, and by code of ethics and honor, Rovaan would not kill the frightened brigand. He simply told the brigand, "Run." and walked past him to rejoin the fray and the growing chaos of the battle at the bridge.

By now though Rovaan's energy was running thin with as long as he had stayed in this form. Also the amount of energy expended to sink the barges and summon hellfire had taken its toll as well. As he neared the bridge from the flank, his demonic form faded away and Rovaan returned to his human appearance, or as close as someone with wolf-like teeth and almost glowing yellow eyes could get to human.

Heaving his sword up onto his shoulder and taking it now in both hands, Rovaan shouted a battle cry and charged in as he saw the next wave starting to come over the bridge. As he laid into the oncoming force, Rovaan was rolling over thoughts in the back of his mind. The fact that, he had some explaining to do after seeing Siera's reaction to his transformation before he had taken to the skies. Rovaan figured it was time to tell someone of his hidden talents in detail anyway as he knew his details wouldn't stay hidden forever.

Farmlands

Conleth had just finished luring the bandits out of the woods as he turned to see if his plan had worked.

It hadn't.

In a display that made him wince, the troll simply collapsed in on itself like a deflated pig's bladder, and then Conleth suddenly realized something. Not only had he gotten the bandits to attack this party at full force, most of them were quite weakened.

"Oh, COME ON!" he shouted in exasperation, as the falcon flew out of the troll's remains.

Luckily, the kite soon recovered, and began swooping down, distracting and disarming the bandits.

Conleth, meanwhile, decided he ought to take a more defensive stance, and ran into the fray, watching the enemies carefully. if they tried to attack any of the other fighters, he would attempt to defend them and also attack said brigand.
