Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
Seeing the greedy motion by McCormic, Embla barely suppressed another wave of anger. Realizing she wasn't being particularly helpful Embla, with some difficulty, swallowed her desire to maim for the moment. Eyes still flinty, she turned to McCormic and said, "Look, we're not asking you to fight the damn witch. We just need to get to her. If you lead us there and I get to blow holes in something at least, I'd be more than happy to forgive your misdirection last night. She seemed to choke a little bit as she got to the forgiveness part. "And I can be trusted to keep my word. Usually. Either way, you get a piece of the Wellesly's money, while we get to deal with your town's problem."

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
"Fight the witch?! Fight... the witch? Man, you folks are a crazy lot if there ever was one." Cormic pauses, eyeing Embla in particular, but overall just giving a look of disbelief that is directed towards the entire group. He stays silent for a few moments, going over the options in his head, before finally responding.
"Ok, I tell you what: I will lead you into the woods and try to help you find this witch, but if she is real and she shows up I am not lifting a finger and I expect you to make sure I get out of there alive. If you don't protect me I'll be gone, and you will never find your way back out of those woods." Ignoring Embla now, he approaches the noblemen and holds out a hand. "Deal?"

Drake glanced back at the others, gauging their reactions. "Deal." He said, shaking the man's hand. As much as he hated it, they needed him. Without a guide they didn't have a hope of finding the witch and Garland would stay out of the war until the Imardanian army was at the gates. "When can we leave?" He asked, hoping the answer would be soon if not immediately. Every day they achieved nothing made the Imardanians one day closer to victory.

"Good," the woodsman replies, his smirk returning to his face. "Well, if all of you have what you need then we can head out now. If not, you better hurry if you want to cover any ground before nightfall. Make sure you bring food, the wildlife has been a bit scarce recently."

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
Caelen sighs a breath of relief, his worries that the group would be forced to fend for themselves in the unknown wood due to Embla's irrational behavior fading. Phew... I fretted we'd be alone on this and going astray in a strange woodland doesn't sound enjoyable. Oh, the allure of money. His relief and comfort is quickly displaced by the realization that he'll have to delve deep into the forest and confront the vile witch. To keep from being overcome by anxiety, Caelen works to distract himself with aimless thoughts. It really is a lovely day. That Todd was awfully fidgety. I wonder what Embla's favorite food is... I sure hope that Wellesly man has some chocolate when we return. I can't believe that brute knocked me out. I hope it's not noticeable. Can cows swim? His mind races, all in an effort to conceal his true fears deep inside. He sighs as the witch resurfaces in his thoughts. I'll just be glad when this is all over. "I-I'm r-r-ready to g-go," he stutters, overcome with apprehension.

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
Valc excuses himself quickly, not yet ready for the trek. He hastily marches around the market, peering into the different shops and stands until he finds what looks to be some sort of exotic ivory-working shop. He peeks his head in and finds just the right kind of thing that he is searching for. A little pricey, but this will do.
Valc checks his coin-pouch and reluctantly hands over 7 gold coins to the ivory-crafter, pointing to an ornate, ivory warhorn that rests on the counter to his left. 8 silvers left. Let's hope that we bag this witch or else I might starve before I even get to fight any Imardanians.
The lordless knight returns to the group a few minutes after he departed, looking satisfied and in a little better spirits. "We've got a witch to hunt."

Rorin walks back over to the group once he's done looking at the wares of the marketplace. He honestly can't wait for this to be over and to get paid, if nothing more than for the fact he's flat broke at the moment and needs the gold before they even try and sleep in another hotel. He hopes that their wealth won't be called into question by any of the lords in the near future, otherwise there'll be a number of problems.

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
Embla mutters half-curses and darker things under her breath. Glaring at the woodsman, she strokes one of Fluffy's tentacles. "The sooner we get going, the less time I have to change my mind. Let's go kill a pretender."

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
"I have no shopping to do, so I suppose I am ready as well," Zara says, a bit saddened at the lack of coins in her purse with such a large market to browse. After Wellesly pays us, I will have to come back here.
With this, she looks to Drake expectantly, the only one to not speak up so far. She doubts he has any objects to moving on, but the young lord was not an easy one to read like most of the others. "Shall we be going then, Lord Aerden?"

"Well then, Cormic, lead the way." Drake said, stepping aside to let the Woodsman through to the front of the group. I really do hope we'e may the right choice. He thought to himself, eyeing up the man as he walked past. The sooner we get this done the better.

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
With everyone ready to go, Cormic leads the group out of the northern gate of Garland and into the forest. For the rest of the evening the group. At first, the woods are not too dense and very quiet, just as was the case on the road to the city from Greywood. However, after about an hour the trees get much thicker and the canopy begins to block out much more light. In not too long, light is hard to come by and Cormic lights a torch before continuing to lead the way.
After a few hours of walking through the tangled forest floor, you arrive at a clearing. "This is a good place to stop for the night," the woodsman says. "There is not a good chance of finding another clearing before the darkness fully sets in, and we will want a nice open area in case anything decides to bother us." He says these last words with a bit of fear in his eyes, and anyone who had been paying attention might guess he was referring to the night creatures Zara mentioned before.
Before anyone has a chance to respond, Cormic climbs up into a lone tree in the middle of the clearing and lays on a branch with his back against the trunk. "I'm set, you folk do whatever you need to do." Nearby there is a recently collapsed tree covered in barely-decayed branches and leaves, the perfect easily-gathered campfire source. The group makes a fire near the now-barren log and set up their beds around it. It is not yet completely night yet, but the rest of the forest around them is certainly as dark as if it were.

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
Caelen relaxes by the fire, the mesmerizing flames clearing his mind of the overcoming terror he had faced earlier. For the first time since entering Garland, he feels tranquil. But only for a moment. He hears the faintest rustling in the brush which quickly becomes much louder. Growing wide-eyed with horror as whatever creature it is draws nearer, he points toward where the sound originates, his arm visibly shaking. "G-g-g-guys, s-s-something's out th-there." His entire body trembles as trepidation sets in.

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
Zara is just finishing setting up her tent when she hears the sounds coming from the woods. At first she thinks little of it, figuring a fox or some other small creature moving erratically through the forest. But it doesn't stop, and instead gets louder. The sign she knew all too well. Before she can speak up, Caelen does, the young elf noticeably - and rightfully - showing signs of fear.
"Yes, more than one something," Zara responds, as she reaches for her swords. Looking around, and addressing everyone, she continues, "not to alarm you all, but you may be meeting the night creatures sooner rather than later."

Drake rose to his feet as Zara spoke, the rustling in the bushes now clearly audible. "Well then, I'll have to introduce them to my steel!" He said, unsheathing his longsword. "It's been a while since I've bloodied it." He finished as he raised he sword and shield in anticipation of whatever creature was hurtling towards them through the undergrowth.

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
Valc is laying next to the fire on his bedroll, relaxing from the long hike through the woods the group undertook during the day. When Zara calls them to arms, he quickly stands up, reaching into his backpack for a sunrod. He slaps it firmly against his open palm to activate it, and with a hefty throw, sends it flying in the direction that the elf pointed in hopes of spotting their predators. It smacks against a few trunks along until it comes to a halt, the strong, bright light of the sunrod illuminating the nearby area. He turns, grabbing his tower shield and tearing his bastard sword from its long scabbard on his hip. I guess the tales were true, then, he thinks. "Stay close, every one. We don't want any of these things hauling one of us off into the night."

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
Even as the first sound of something that isn't a forest animal starts to reach the group, Rorin's already preparing for combat, crouching down a little bit as he attempts to perceive where the first attack will come from through the trees.
"If we're lucky they won't try to surround us. Otherwise... Better hope they aren't melee fighters."

"Woo! Let's rip some things to pieces, Fluffy," Embla cried, leaping to her feet. Spinning to face the direction of the rest of the group, she made the mistake of taking a step forward at the same time, tripping over her own feet and landing back on the ground.
"Oof!"
Standing back up she, with more care this time, placed herself in a ready stance, unslinging staff from her back. Fluffy crouched behind her, growling into the night.

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
Caelen pauses for a brief moment, taken by the realization that these creatures of the night were no fable. He snaps back into focus and grabs his longbow lying next to him. Please just be a rabbit.... Please just be a very large rabbit. He knows he isn't right, but he still hopes. He grabs a slim arrow from his quiver, his hands shaking from anxiety. Easy Caelen. He calms himself. Just remember what Father taught you.

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
Encounter 1
Valc's sunrod lights up the clearing, revealing the myriad walking corpses that have surrounded the party's location. There are many of them, some with weapons but most without. They move slowly and make loud moaning noises when they do, and they are most definitely coming closer.
"Good luck with those," shouts Cormic down to the group. "I hope you can handle them. I'm staying up here." With that he climbs higher into the tree, until he is completely out of sight. The group will have to fight these without his help, though that shouldn't come as a surprise given his earlier remarks.
Go: Caelen, Rorin

As one of the first few that has their wits about them enough to act, Rorin draws his hand crossbow and moves to the rear of the party, firing a bolt off at the large zombie to the rear with the intent of killing it quickly before it can engage the rest of the party.
"Zara, Embla, I'm going to need a hand here. Let's kill off the ones on the edges so we can focus our defenses on one point."

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
The ranged attacks of Rorin and Caelen all hit their marks quite spectacularly, with the young elf killing both of his targets each with a single blow, and Rorin greatly weakening the lumbering larger zombie. But the ranged night creatures have just as much luck, one hitting Drake and the other striking Caelen with their arrows.
Zara, Meanwhile, rushes to Rorin's aid. She puts away her second sword and whips out one of her hidden daggers, deftly tossing it into the large zombie's skull. It seems quite weakened at this point, though it still manages to move.
Go: Zara, Valc, Drake

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
As one of the skeleton's arrows finds purchase in Lord Aerden, Valcus raises his tower shield and moves hastily toward the closest undead. "On me, Lord Aerden!" he calls out, as he goes on the offensive. The undead figure doesn't seem to react much to his combat movements, so Valc makes a carefully-aimed swing at its ribcage, his blade tearing through the monster's pallid skin. The creature drops to the ground in a slump and the knight sets his glare on the armored skeleton before him, ready to move.

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
Drake grunts in pain as the skeleton's arrow finds a gap in his armour. As he breaks the shaft of the arrow off with his armoured fist, he hears Valc's call and watches him dispatch one of the zombies. Setting his eyes on the the skeleton, he moves closer getting into position, before he raises his sword and charges towards it. As he reaches the skeleton, he brings his sword down onto its shoulder, all the momentum of his charge behind the blow.

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
Valc is able to skillfully fell the shambling corpse in front of him, but Drake is not so lucky. While his running attack at the nearby skeleton is quite a spectacle, the attack itself fails to connect. However, he manages to distract the creature enough that it won't fare well facing anyone else for awhile.
As the young knights are facing their foes, the larger zombies rush headlong into battle. While the one to the south slowly moves across the clearing, the one to the north rams itself into Zara, some payback for the dagger in the head.

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
Realizing her slip set her way behind her companions, Embla jumps into the fray eagerly. "Save some for me, you guys!"
Moving to stand by Caelen and sending Fluffy to stand near Zara, Embla smiles wickedly in his direction. "Nice kills! I bet you can't do this though."
Locating one of the larger zombies, she levels her staff at the creature grinning evilly. "Ka'akhor duun dron, khrec dal'daar!" Embla cries, cursing it as her staff glows darkly. Following up, she sends a ball of dark energy hurtling into the shambling form of the zombie.
Embla watches as most of the blast glances off the zombie, leaving it relatively unharmed. "Well. Shit."

As Embla blasts the larger zombie, the smaller ones shamble into the fray. One gets behind Drake and manages to surprise the young lord, while two more join the other large zombie in attacking Zara. While one manages to hit her, she skillfully counters the other, leaving it in a heap on the floor. The others slowly make their way towards the camp where Embla and Caelen are.

Seeing that Zara is facing the large Zombie, Rorin decides that it might be best to start moving around to flank the beast, in the hopes that he may be able to slip his dagger into it's neck. As he moves he fires off a shot at the nearby smaller zombie, but the shot goes wide, burying itself into a nearby tree.

Caelen yelps as the skeleton's arrow flies into his arm. Cringing, he fractures the arrow's shaft and angrily throws it to the ground. But he has a bigger concern, as two more zombies approach. As he did with the last two pests, he loads his bow with two arrows and sends them whizzing towards the living corpses.

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
As Caelen's foe falls, the skeletons attack again. The one to the south lets loose another arrow, this time aimed at Embla, but it goes wide and misses its mark. The other, now near very near to Drake, drops its bow and draws its sword before making a weak swipe at the young lord.
Meanwhile, Zara mumbles a bit to herself and picks herself up, a bit less weakened than she had been moments before. She unleashes a spinning attack that leaves the large corpse only barely standing and then flips backwards between Fluffy and Rorin. With this she drops her sword and draws another dagger before throwing each one at a different foe. The larger zombie falls, finally, as it takes another dagger - this time straight to the chest - but the other blade misses its mark.

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
As the undead monstrosities hammer down on Drake from front and back, Valc shifts into a better angle and raises his sword to charge, hoping to strike the zombie from the rear. However, as he rushes toward the creature, Valc misses his opportunity and slows his charge, not wishing to take the risk of barrelling into his companion.

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
Neither of the knights seem to be able to find their stride as they both fail to hit their quarries, but the remaining large zombie does. It rushes forward towards Caelen and Embla and repays the strange woman for her earlier attack.

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
Embla watched as Zara is nearly taken down my the shambling corpses, smiling to herself. "Well, so much for 'knowing what you're doing'."
As her attention was cast to the other side of the clearing, Embla didn't notice the large zombie dragging itself towards her until after it was too late. As the zombie scored a hit on her, she cried out and retreated behind Caelen. "Elves taste better! Try this guy instead of me, you flubber!"
Casting around for a slightly squishier target, Embla's gaze lighted upon one of the few smaller zombies left alive. It had gotten awfully close to the tree Cormic climbed, as if it could sense another living creature there. Deciding that she didn't like things going after her target Embla leveled her staff at the poor, defenseless creature. "Oy, maggot-face! Only I get to eat his brain!"

Deciding that she didn't like things going after her target Embla leveled her staff at the poor, defenseless creature. "Oy, maggot-face! Only I get to eat his brain!"

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
While Embla retreats, the zombie behind Drake tries to swipe at him again, but the young lord manages to dodge it just in time. Fluffy's sudden movement startles the last remaining zombie near it, which turns its attention from Zara to the odd creature. The corpse rushes up and manages to swipe at the beast before it has a chance to retaliate.

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
With the Large Zombie now dead and only one remaining, Rorin feels that it is time to start mopping up this fairly quick fight, moving down past some of the trees and firing a shot at the Skeleton sitting down there. Despite it's attempt to apparently try and flee into the woods, Rorin manages to land a shot on it, the bolt slamming into white bone.

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
With the monstrous zombie upon him, Caelen moves beside Embla, hoping the log would provide some difficulty for the abomination reaching him. He glances over to see Valc and Drake surrounding one of the pathetic rotting corpses. Hoping to put it out of its misery and to provide some damage to the approaching undead creature before him, Caelen launches two arrows.

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
As the two ranged-weapon fighters both hit their marks, the skeletons once again attack. While one fails to hit Drake with its sword, the other repays Rorin for the bolt he shot into it moments before with an arrow.
Meanwhile, Zara once again fails to hit the last remaining zombie near her. What was in that wine? This is not me. Not wanting to waste anymore time on it, and feeling that Fluffy could easily handle the foe, she follows Rorin towards the skeleton that had been filling everyone with arrows.
Go: Zara, Valc, Drake

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
As Caelen's arrow finds the Zombie behind him, Drake moves to the side to give Valc a clear line of attack on the skeleton. Drake decides to employ a tactic he would often use in melee tournaments. He feints one way with his shield before launching another attack at the skeleton. However yet again he fails to land a blow. I must have had a bit too much of that drugged wine.

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
Lord Aerden steels himself as the battle turns gritty, and Valc cheers as the man cuts down one of the undead monstrosities. While his compatriot fails to find an opening on the remaining skeleton, Valc slides around and swings from the back at the creature. While the cut itself hardly harms the skeleton, Valc's bastard sword knocks one of its bones astray, leaving it open for an easy follow-up from Lord Aerden.

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
Reeling from the zombie's clumsy, albeit damaging, attack, Embla decided that her position was decidedly unhealthy (and somewhat smelly). Bursting into millions of tiny particles, her dusty form whirled around the zombie, disorienting it and opening the way for her to take advantage of it's dropped defenses.
The dust cloud swirled away towards the far side of the fire, where Embla reformed. As soon as she was able, she began shouting to no one in particular. "Okay! Who thought it would be a good idea to put the ranged people against the melee with no support?" Noticing her beast companion standing off against the last of the small zombies, she called out to him. "Fluffy! Rape it!"
---
Hearing his master's command, Fluffy whipped his tentacles out, wrapping one around the torso of the corpse and lifting it into the air. The second tentacle dipped low, slid between the corpse's legs, and forced its way into the anal cavity of his captive. Being dead and all, the corpse was very relaxed, so progress was made quickly until Fluffy encountered the problem of intestinal walls.
He didn't really take notice though, and the tentacle continued straight up through the intestines, stomach and chest, tearing through flesh and cracking bones alike, until the end of the tentacle finally burst out of the creatures mouth, tearing its jaw off. Releasing the constricting tentacle from around the now dead zombie, Fluffy brought the re-corpsed corpse closer and began gnawing on an arm.
---
Seeing that Fluffy had taken care of his quarry, Embla turned her attention back to the larger zombie, now safely distanced and hopefully deterred by the fire. she lowered her staff at it once again, eyes narrowing and a hard edge coming to her voice. "You, I'm getting decidedly tired of," she said, eyes blazing with hate.
Opening her hand to the campfire, Embla steals some of the twisting flames and gathers them into her hand as a single small, bright flame. She motions toward the zombie and the flame disappears. At first nothing seems to happen, but then the zombie's eyes begin to glow and smoke issues from various pores on its body. The glow steadily grows brighter, until the corpse suddenly erupts into flame, burning to the point where it can't effectively attack for the next while.
Embla smiled. "I've always loved the smell of burning flesh."

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
With the lumbering zombie approaching further, Caelen steps back a little. Caelen watches from his position as Embla sets fire to the zombie.... while it stands on his bedroll. "Oh, come on! Really? Had to be on my bedroll? Great. Just great. He groans in annoyance and fires an arrow straight at the zombie with little respect for property. Noticing Valc and Drake's struggle with the skeleton, he also sends one toward the bony mass.

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
Rorin sighs as the skeleton stays standing, tearing the arrow it shot out of his shoulder and throwing it onto the ground.
"Let's add that scar to the ever growing list shall we?"
He grumbles as he takes aim with his crossbow, firing a blunted bolt in the hopes that impact will hurt a bit more than a sharp point. The bolt goes wild though and he curses out loud.
"This has not been my week..."

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
As Caelen finishes off yet another foe, and Rorin fails to hit his mark, the skeletons once again lash out. The one to the north turns its attention to its more accurate foe, but fails to land a hit. Drake takes advantage of this opportunity to finally land a blow against the creature. The other once again loads an arrow and fires at Rorin, this time only landing a glancing bow against the man.
As soon as the souther skeleton fires, Zara takes the opening and rushes forward. For a brief moment her sword glows with the same strange marking as on her hands and feet, and she takes a swing. The blade only grazes the skeleton, but that's all she needs and its bones begin to sizzle and crack from contact with her divinely-infused weapon.
Go: Everyone

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
With the Skeleton taking an arrow and hits from both himself and Valc, Drake goes in for another attack. He tries feinting with his shield once again, and this time he manages to confuse the skeleton and score a hit. Seeing an opening, he has another swing at the skeleton, making use of the confusion caused by his feint, he hits the target once again, albeit relatively lightly.

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
As the large zombie keels over onto Caelen's bedroll, Embla's body crumbles to dust once more. The last thing to disappear is her satisfied smile. Her form flows over the ground to a point closer to the skeleton Valc and Drake are fighting. Reforming herself, Embla curses the skeleton and then walks back to the fire. Fluffy, having taken care of his foe, heads to stand by Rorin, bolstering the rogue's defenses.
Embla hold out her hand, pointing at the skeleton that Valc and Drake are fighting. A single beam of light launches from her palm, flying towards its target. Mid-flight, the beam changes form, forking at the head and forming the undulating body of a serpent. The light hits the skeleton in the form of a two-headed adder, both heads picking an eye socket and burying themselves deep in their respective holes. In the same moment, the body splits in half and the two ethereal snakes slither up into the skull of the skeleton, destroying what little thoughts it could have in the process and removing the caster from sight.

Re: Tulrissian Unification IC
Caelen watches the burning carcass collapse like a felled tree, landing on his bedroll. "Guess I'm going to need a new bedroll...." He sighs with frustration and turns his attention to the skeleton that has been harassing Valc and Drake. He fires a swift arrow at it and watches as it finds a vulnerable spot in the skeletal creature.
