The way of the samurai is resolute acceptance of death, as Miyamoto Musashi affirmed, in being crazy to die, as Nabeshima Naoshige wrote.

Torches went out, voices resonated, though Sakura did not stop, face as expressionless as the mask that concealed the visage.

“Jishin kajo…” Sakura growled as she disappeared into the shadows. She pointed her axe forth, “Omae no tamashi o itadaku...” A glowing, translucent, pale green nukekubi appeared beside the vergas who had spoken, a Tainted Gift for the indoctrinated beast.

Beside the vergas’s head, the nukekubi floated closer to its ear and spoke in a high-pitched, distorted voice, “Ga ni tayumu na. Chi no nioi wa ga o michibiku!” The nukekubi floated in front of the vergas’s face and vibrated, “Ufu ufu ufu ufu ufu ufu!” it chuckled.

Sakura could see the floating apparition she summoned, “Subete ni shi o!” She swirled her axe around and around, a spinning heel kick thrown with every resolution, as she made her way towards the target...

Vyras:


Typical. Things are taking longer than usual- as they always do. Sakura’s being ambushed, Zurga and the other warrior- Vyras didn’t pick up his name- (At least he was sure that was the case; Vyras’ memory began failing him at 85) were on their way back, unless Annie got ambushed like Sakura did. As for that possibly undead warrior, Vyras could feel his energy, so he was still alive. There were a few things he could do to remedy Sakura’s situation. A dead elf was laying next to Vyras’ feet. He channeled purple energy into his wrist, then slammed his hand into the dead elf, marking it with a magical brand. The dead elf opened up his eyes.


“My Master raised me from the dead; would he kindly kill me again once he is done using this body?” The undead elf asked grumbling under his breath


“Yes, Yes, now go down the hallway and save the masked lady being ambushed, chop chop. Vyras said impatiently, and pointed down the hallway from where Sakura was heading.


Why you.. Fine, I expect you to do as I ask, old man! May the Gods of death strike you down!” the elf grabbed his bow off the ground and ran.




Lithia, her brother, Antonius and Haegar were watching all the battle. They were used to the old necromancer’s tricks, “How goes things on the battlefield?” Vyras asked anxiously. The stress of the battle was wearing him down. “Horrible for us, Balta is laying devastation to our forces with that dragon of hers. Lithia took a shot at that dragon earlier, even she missed, and she is a great shot with a bow.” Haegar informed him.

Vyras looked out the window. “What a mess”. The resistance troops were losing more people than they were rescuing. “If we pull off this siege, we can turn it into a propaganda stunt, Haegar. It might finally convince Balvorrik to join in the war.


Haegar shook his head. “Don’t push a dwarf to do something he does not want to do unless you have very good reason to do it. Balvorrik is in the Esun Desert, the threat there is not immediate. Their gates are nearly impenetrable with magic. Their defences are state-of the art. Unless something really, really bad happens, Ballvorrik will stay out of the conflict.


Lithia butted in on the conversation. “BUT WHY DON’T THEY JOIN THE FUN. AFTER ALL DWARVES LIKE WAR!!”


Haegar shook his head in disbelief at what he just heard, “Stop spouting stereotypes about dwarves, Lithia. Dwarves like a fight; Dwarves do not like war. Nobody likes war. Least of all, this war. Those that claim they do, are not the ones fighting it.”


Antonius joined in as well. “If you can even call this a “war” The vampires won half a millennia ago” This caused shouting from all sides. “Don’t ever claim they won, Because they haven’t.” Vyras scolded his student.


Antonius removed his iron helm and scratched his head. “Hate to go against your beliefs, senpai, but they have. Nothing we’ve ever done has been effective. It would take some hefty intervention from someone to turn the wheels in our favor.” More shouting ensued. One prisoner was outraged at Antonius.


“Sudovians have never needed anybody’s help for anything. It was true in Mathias’ father’s reign, and it is true today?” He was referring to King Mathias.

“The intervention from the Svairdians and Lethornians wasn’t enough?” Vyras asked ignoring the prisoner who rudely joined the conversation. Antonius nodded. “It is my belief that if you create a wedge between all of Clan Gern, and pit one group against another, then Clan Gern will be fighting on multiple fronts. Problem is that they came from Sanguinos. Nobody here has any dirt sufficient enough to cause that rift.”


Vyras snorted, “Sounds like nonsense, but please continue.” Vyras let out. Though secretly, he liked Antonius’ line of reasoning. All of this was sound reasoning, but it was easier said than done.


Haegar scratched the top of his bald head.“Sounds like you gave the situation we are in some thought, though. Have you thought about why it would take anyone 500 years to expose someone’s dirty secrets. Means that there ain’t any.” Antonius shook his head. “There has to be some reason they came here.


Vyras laughed. “Would that reason happen to be turning every human, dwarf, elf, drugal, and drow into snacks?” Haegar, Lithia, and some of the other prisoners burst into laughter. It was during the laughter that Vyras, looking into the forest noticed how dead it looked. It gave him an idea


Vyras took out his vodka and took a quick drink “Old man, tell me you have a good reason for drinking?”Antonius asked. “Helps calm the nerves, young man. Besides…” Vyras took out a cloth and dipped it into the bottle of vodka. By drinking some of the vodka- not too much, I can compensate for the buoyancy of the liquid


“I believe I have a plan for getting past that dragon gentlemen. Now if you excuse me, I have a missing orc warrior, and a seriously energetic half-elf girl, and a warrior whose name escapes my mind, to find, and if that is not enough, I have a crazed woman wearing a mask about to be ambushed. This night never ends.” Vyras limped with his stick toward Annie's direction.

What...?

For a moment, Vyrl found himself unable to act, temporarily overwhelmed with confusion. Had he not been sitting on the floor behind the closest corner of the hall, that might have cost him his life.

Since the moment he'd laid eyes on the undead soldier, he'd been trying to work out what it was, trying to anticipate what might happen next so he could turn it to his advantage. Initially, it had been his intent to stop Lia from killing the thing, and its stubborn refusal -- or was it simply that it could not understand him? -- to follow his suggestions -- it galled him to be unable to command the thing properly -- was perhaps indicating of an overconfidence that Vyrl very much wanted to understand fully.

Then there had been that scream. Absolute, raw fury.

And then the killing had begun.

He dared not look. Already, he trembled faintly at how close he'd come to the carnage -- physical combat was not his strong suit at all, and he did not fool himself into believing that twin knives, however well hidden, would save him from Lia and... whatever it was. But he was, for the moment, safe, thanks to his -- the bird!

He scrambled to his feet, eyes darting about. In his fascination, he'd completely lost track of the thing. He dared to hope that Lia had not seem him in the crowd of vampires, but if she had not... by now, most everyone knew about Vyrl's "pet." She would recognize it, if she saw it.

Move. He had to move, now, while she was still in a rage, and not thinking clearly. He strode down the hall, stepping as quickly as his legs could take him without breaking into an outright sprint for his chambers. He reached a nearby staircase and began to climb.

A moment later, something heavy struck his shoulder and nearly sent him sprawling down the stone steps. The creature knew -- somehow -- that it could not stray far from him. There was no better way to summon it than by running for his life.

Sakura:


On her way to her first target - the one being targeted by the vexing nukekubi spirit taunting it- Sakura heard a scuff on the hard limestone stonework floor. A vergas perhaps? More than that she could hear Vergas climbing on the ceiling. The sound was low, but it was still audible. Or at the very least, that knot of wood that ended up in her provision bag was making it so.


One vergas from the ceiling dropped onto the floor in front of Sakura and raised its hand so as to strike with its sharp and disgusting blood covered claws. “SURPRISE HUMAN!” it shrieked, and then lunged at Sakura. At the same time one dropped on the floor behind Sakura, very close behind her actually. So close behind her that her Masakari might be too slow to stop it from clawing her legs, or if she was unlucky, her back.


The danger with vergas are not the wounds they inflict. They are not very strong, as such the wounds they inflict are minor at best. The real danger is the infections that occur after being wounded by one. Vergas are not known for cleaning themselves, their teeth always have meat strips dangling from the gaps between them, and blood caked onto them, their fingers are blood covered and occasionally they have to sift through intestines to get to the gallbladder- their favorite “snack”- meaning occasionally, their fingers are not only covered in blood, but fecal matter. The danger of getting feces onto a vergas’ disgusting claws increases when stripping corpses of their armor.


More Vergas were dropping from the ceiling. That knot of wood began launching flames like a miniature mortar onto a few vergas in front of her, setting the one who dropped in front of her alight. From behind Sakura she could hear the labored breathing of another Vergas, perhaps the one who had dropped behind her. Two more clung to the walls and attempted to jump onto her. The Knot of wood fired balls of searing arcane flame, but missed one of them. It kept firing, and missing.

Annie was grateful that she found Zurga and Erik. She was still very tired from running up the stairs to find them. She listened to Zurga speak about Vyras. She really liked Vyras because he has so far trusted her on missions even though he didn’t know her.

Then she saw Zurga staring at her. It made her very confused what was going on. After a few minutes in silence, she started telling her that her description and has the same name that who went missing six months ago and then Zurga said her father's name. She was in shocked and said,"Yes that's my father's name. I thought he was dead. How did he survived the attack? Was there any others who survived from my village?" She started to follow Zurga and Erik to get back to the old man.

More grisly, filthy critters appeared, some from the ceiling and walls. A knot of wood shot fireballs that mostly missed, at least one struck and burned away, though.

Well, nothing that happened interfered with Sakura’s attacks. One of the vergas exclaimed behind Sakura and so revealed itself. Momentum unlost, she backflipped towards the vergas behind her, spun around mid-air, and delivered an overhead downward blow. Upon landing, she would then do a spinning low kick to sweep all around herself, and then...

Erik




Erik


Erik followed closely behind Zurga and Annie led them down the halls and down the stairs.


“She can’t be that bad can she? I mean this is Sudovia, So perhaps I should take this at face value, but massacring entire villages by herself? I’d ask Lithia, she may be childish and possibly crazy, but she is our thief, and she’s let out the majority of the prisoners in this dungeon. Possibly ask her?”


It was as they walked down the hallway that they ran into Vyras clutching his staff to hold himself upright. “Do you have everything we need?” Vyras said in his hoarse voice. Zurga nodded. “Good line up the prisoners and call over the ones who can fight over, pass armor to everyone, but only give weapons to those who can fight. “What are you playing at Vyras, why not give everyone a weapon?


“Not enough weapons in one bag to hold for 75 prisoners-- unless you use daggers-- but would you truly want to go into a battle against a vampire riding THAT with only a dagger?” Vyras pointed at the dragon while explaining this. Zurga sighed and nodded the old man was right.


Zurga, Erik and Annie followed Vyras back to the others. Zurga pointed out Lithia for Erik and told her to talk to her if he wanted to.


“Everyone, listen up! I want everyone lined up with oldest in the back, and youngest in the front. Those of fighting age will be armed and armored to aid in the escape. Under no circumstances are you to engage the enemy and especially that dragon. Not all of you will make this journey, but if you fall fall so in the comforting knowledge that one day we shall join you.” Zurga called out firmly.


Just as she ordered, the prisoners began lining up. Zurga began passing out armor to everyone, including an old woman aged 101. The sight was truly a sad thing to behold. Surprisingly. She was still able to stand, but everyone knew that she was not likely to make it.

Slowly but surely Haegar, Antonius, Zurga and the others helped everyone armor up.


Lithia on the other hand continued taking pot shots at the dragon with her bow. Vyras took a moment to sit down next to Lithia and crack his back









Azi:

Talk to Lithia or Vyras about Sakura.
