 The End of Days
 Haven City, June 2020...

Fox News calls it "Riots 2020" in their nightly segments that chronicle the unexplainable acts of violence and insanity that have plagued the mid-sized Western-US garrison city of Haven City, WA, where reports have some of the local population have been 'afflicted' with some sort of illness.

The symptoms? Increased irritation of the site of infection. Fever runs high, the infected become drawn and clammy, slow and drowsy. Then it kills them. Or appears to kill them, because not half an hour after people were found to be "dead", they were up and about, attacking those who they called friends and family, turning on their loved ones.

The Military was fast to quarantine the mainland portion of the city, and the Navy maintains patrol around the island quarters of Haven Bay. The USMC garrison Haven City was famous for now acted as the HQ for the city's new martial rulers. In the early days of the outbreak, no comment was made as to the nature or cause of the virus, but since then, television critics and conspiracy theorists have claimed that it is the result of a failed experiment the military was conducting in the recent arms race with the Middle-Eastern powers.

Yet others claim a sort of "T-Virus", a "Zombie Apocalypse" straight out of a George Romero movie, and off the pages of popular fiction "The Zombie Survival Guide" by Max Brooks - the sales of which have gone up by 900% in Washington state Chapters locations.

No matter what the cause is, the local population remains isolated in the city while the military "deals with the current situation by taking the most correct steps to prevent further spread of this unknown virus - likely the cause of bioterrorism". How like them to blame the evil extremist dictators.

Our game starts at Checkpoint N3A, along the N/S interstate bridge at the Northern end of the Haven City linking the main city's downtown core to the first of several islands located within the bay, each housing it's own quarter of the city. CP N3A is under the command of Major Luminecki, Officer Commanding of Charlie squadron - the training squadron - of the USMC's Reconnaissance School in Fort Haven. 92 hours have passed since the first "riot" started when one man was shot after having attacked and bitten a couple on the #17 bus during it's 21:20 route between the 24-hour clinic and West Common - a rather shady area of town - by local police.

Since then, similar stories have come reported from other locations in town, most notably at a local club when as many as fifteen persons were reportedly scratched, bitten and otherwise attacked when a 'bad-tripping barhopper' brutalized patrons in the VIP section of "Liquid".

When the Base Commander, General Erik Steves, was made privy of the recent outburst in violent behaviors in Haven City, martial law was declared, and all roads in and out were barricaded, any travelers 'just passing through' have been directed to detour around the town entirely, no one allowed in - or out.

Naturally, this has caused concern in the surrounding counties near Haven City, and pleas for contact with families living in the troubled town have gone unheard.

You are at CP N3A, the road is filled with vehicles full of frightened families, and stacked with luggage as people try to put their lives into two suitcases so they can leave their old homes and lives behind in the islands with all the madness, but the military won't allow anyone farther into mainland US.

A concertina wire road-block manned and guarded by 1 troop, C sqn, is stopping all traffic out, and only military vehicles have been allowed into Haven City. 1 Tp is augmented with a troop of four Canadian Forces Armoured Recce 'Coyote' LAV25's from the regiment LdSH(RC)'s Delta Squadron, originally from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, but present on an International Training Exercise, with elements from Australia and Sweden as well. Modular tents have been put up within the wire-barricaded confines of the Checkpoint, serving as housing for non-infected civilians and soldiers alike. The four Coyotes guard the entrance, hulls down in the ditches on their eight fat tires, the turrets - housing the powerful 25mm Bushmaster Chain Gun - clearing the crests and pointed down the road. Other vehicles, such as Humvees and G-Wagons, help form the roadblocks where vehicles are searched for contraband, and people searched for infection before being let in to the refugee camp.

Word has it a squadron of M1A1 Abrams tanks is guarding the island-quarter of Fort Haven.

It is currently 17:30, On the fourth day since the first "riot". CP N3A is currently serving food for those inside the camp, and those still going through the initial search are anxious to get in and get some grub, as are the soldiers manning the gates and roadblock.

OOC:

Okay, so here we are. I have PM'd all of you about what you're doing currently, and what you percieve about what's around you. After we get everyone going in the game, we'll start with the apocalypse, but I'll give you all this day to check out and become familiar with your surroundings.

I want everyone to always have a spot and listen check posted in a spoiler in their first posts after I update the game. Note, only do this the first time you post after I've updated, other than that, like reacting and dialogue, doesn't need another set of checks, and any further ones that I need to do passively I'll do in private, thanks.

EDIT: All your other kit is stored in a footlocker or kitbag under your cot in a tent. It is deemed secure for now. The firetruck is parked along with other civilian vehicles in a large field within the city limits, but not in the camp itself.

 Wolfgang: more detailed descrition:

 In front of you, towering over the crowd of people waiting in line for food, stands one of the llargest men you have ever seen, at last 6 foot 8, with arms as thick at your head. But wha draws your attention isnt his size rather, but his attire. He wears long white robes normally worn by a a priest, however the crosses he is adorned ith are not the typical christian crosses, but rather the image of a flaming sword pointing downward, its handle expended at the top to resemble a cross, a bright cat like eye centered on the handle. His head is bald though he is growing a thick black beard. his skin is mostly covered by the robes but when his sleave moves to reveal the skin of his arm you can see that his skin appears to be one solid tatoo. In his left hand he takes a plate of the food that the army has left out for the refugees, in his right, he holds a book under his arm that it looks like it could be hundreds of years old, a pitch black leather tome, with the same image on the cover that appears on his robes. Its title and insignia are in latin. Holstered at his side, is a four foot long blade. l

Wolfgamg takes his plate and lets out a huff, strolls over and sits at the head of the table, Places his food out, thena bruptly stands back up with his right hand on his book.

"Saint michael, purger of the blasphemes, grand general of the armies of light and redemption, I thank you for the gift of sustenance to aid us in the trials ahead. I ask for your continued aid int he trials that are ahead. I pray for you to remove the doubts from our minds, frailties from our bodies, and steady our sword arms. Prepare us saint michael for the judgement ahead.  AMEN!!!"

Wolfgang promptly sits back down and eats his food as quickly as he can, the less time it spends in his mouth, the better.

((Where is my other equipment stored?))

 Simon Delphinius:
 The man sitting mutely in front of you is rather non-descript, with short, shaggy blonde hair and a small beard. He wears what appears to be a hospital uniform with a cadaceus on the shoulder. In addition, he has a green fishing hat perched of top of his head.

Simon picks at his food. He seems rather shaken by recent events, and his hand constantly goes to his side, where a large pistol can be seen in a holster.

 Desmond Watts
 Desmond is a rather tall man, 6"4' with dark brown hair. He wears a light brown cow-boy hat, with a fully- zipped soft leather jacket and jeans. For footwear he wears hard leather boots, large and hard-wearing. A large backpack is mounted on his back.

Desmond shuffles awkwardly in the queue, wandering what has drawn so many soldiers to the area. The tales of walking dead are obviously lies, anyone with a bit of smarts should be able to see that.

Desmond looks over to his wife. Her brilliant golden hair shining despite her fever. The conditions of the fever seem a little odd, but Desmond is no medical man, and trusts it's just a normal infection. We've both suffered worse from snakes out in the desert.

The line slowly advances forward, bringing Desmond face to face with an Australian soldier...

[User]
 A soldier stands like many of his platoon here. Camo clothing blending in with all the others to those who can't see past it. To those that can he seems more at ease. Relaxed almost, like this is a normal day at the office. He laughs and jokes with the man near him, seemingly oblivious to the situation as they share a smoke.

At the god botherer's outburst, Darian pauses his conversation and looks at the crowd with mild concern. He continues speaking with Micha.  "You know I don't like that all these civis are armed. If rioting starts I'd rather those with training to keep a cool head have the weapons."  He smirks to and winks at Micha.  Not that your sepos could ever keep a cool head.

 What do you say to your air elemental to get it to ready the action?

[User] I thought I didn't need to, as it has an Int > 2.

[User] You don't make handle animal checks to control the air elemental because it can speak aurian, so you can give it detailed commands. However, This also speaks aurian and can understand every command you give it, including being able to understand what action you tell it to ready.

[User] In that case, the command would have been:  "Move over there, and fly above one of them if the glass isn't between you and them. If they don't come, move over them and attack."  Either way, you didn't trigger the readied action. Would you like to revise your move?

[User] I'll leave my actions as is; not moving was not intentional, and the die is cast.

 The three dungeon crawlers step into the dungeon. They are here to reclaim a powerful magical artifact from the dungeons master, and have been given rights to keep anything and everything they find beyond it. Looking down the hallways, the three can see three paths besides the stairs from which they entered in. Each path goes down 30 ft before turning to another four way intersection each.

 Spoiler

 Riff the Rougher
 Logan
 Tiburon

[User]
 Riff the Rougher

Sprinting down the furthest right hallway, Riff mans his Flying Talon with a smirk and laugh.

 Spoiler
If Riff comes within 10 feet of a trap, his perception check: (1d20+42)[ 58 ]  Perception for spotting the trap. xD

 Logan

 Shaking his head, Logan only laughs on the inside, knowing he is smarter, and more civil then the crazy brethren of the Elf.

 Tiburon

 Tiburon easily walks behind Riff, twenty feet for the safety.

[User] As you three reach the next intersection, you see the exact same layout as you saw before, going each direction 30 feet to another four way intersection in each direction. So far there is little of interest besides the torches on the walls and the walls themselves.

[User]
 Riff the Rougher

 He walks down the third corridor from the left, still laughing, but remaining conscious just in case.

 Spoiler
Perception: (1d20+42)[ 56 ]

 Tiburon and Logan

 Both go down the corridor to the left of Riff, combining everything they see in the last step, right before entering the hallway.

 Spoiler
Tiburon first, perception for the first step down the hallway: (1d20+35)[ 51 ]

Logan for the whole hallway?  (1d20+11)[ 30 ]  for perception.
 (1d20+19)[ 22 ]  for spellcraft

[User]
 Riff

Going down the hallway you come to yet another junction, identical to the ones before it. You're starting to get the feeling that this is all you're going to see here.

 Tiburon and Logan

The two of you reach a junction identical to the one you left, 30 feet down the hallway like the ones before, and hear noises that you can't quite identify, if you had to guess, they sounded like footsteps

[User]
 Riff the Rougher

 Riff backtracks, and goes down the aisle the other two went down.

 Spoiler
Perception: (1d20+42)[ 57 ]  In case of a trap.

 Tiburon and Logan

They stay still, and both listen out for the noises.

 Spoiler
Tiburon: (1d20+35)[ 54 ]  Logan: (1d20+11)[ 23 ]

[User] The footsteps come closer, and Tiburon can recognize them as coming from a few halls down. If you have to guess, you'd say they will be reaching your location shortly.

[User]
 Logan

 Noticing that Tiburon has stopped the party, probably due to some threat approaching, Logan takes cue, and casts a force across his body. At the same time, he prepares a very advanced spell, for pure response.

 Spoiler
Cast Shield on himself. And prepares Greater Invisibility.
AC:31 (Shield is up for 13 minutes.)

 Tiburon

 Being the biggest, Tiburon moves one step ahead, and hunkers into a ready position, blocking the new threat in the mouth of the hallway.

 Spoiler
Perception again, to try and pinpoint the on coming threat: (1d20+35)[ 54 ]
AC: 45

 Riff the Rougher

 Riff stands in front of his smarter counter part, and readies his favored weapon. Craning his neck a bit, he stands to block what his huge friend doesn't, readying his Flying Talon.

 Spoiler
Readying to disarm the first weapon he sees that attacks. CMB:40  (1d20+40)[ 45 ]  Vs CMD of foe. Goes out to 10ft
AC:30

[User] A large metal automaton turns down the hallway in your direction. It moves slowly, and does not make any note as to have noting your presence. It is currently 60 foot off.

 Logan

 Logan looks at the monster, and tries to identify it.

 Spoiler
Knowledge arcana: (1d20+15)[ 23 ]

 Tiburon and Riff the Rougher

 The two work together to protect Logan, who is the flal back, distance guy of the group.

You recognize the creature as a Golem, which has immunity to many types of magic.

The creature continues to approach, and upon recognizing the party, prepares for combat. (Roll initiative)

 Riff the Rougher

 Riff moves before the others, and comes to a pause some odd ten feet away from the large golem. He wields his flying talon nicely, and sends it forward to try and impale the hard shell of the monster.

 Spoiler
Move action: 20 feet to be ten feet in front of the golem. Acrobatics: (1d20+26)[ 46 ]  In case he prompts an AoO for threatened squares.
Attack action: Flying Talon Attack: (1d20+21)[ 34 ]
Damage: (1d4+11)[ 14 ]

 Tiburon

 The large Shark lord moved forward with amazing speed. He was ten feet from his target now, and made a single bite attack, hoping to break into the golem's hard exterior.

 Spoiler
Move action is to get within ten feet. Acrobatic: (1d20+20)[ 36 ]  In case he would incur an AoO for moving through threatened squares.
Attack Action: Bite: (1d20+20)[ 22 ]  Damage: (3d6+13)[ 27 ]

 Logan

 Logan is no brawler, and with his knowledge of the Golem, he won't be wasting any of his spells to the beast. However, he does support his comrades after their attacks, with Haste, in order to give them an advantage.

 Spoiler
Caste Haste. Tiburon is at 46 AC, Riff at 31, Logan at 32.

[User]
 As Riff and Tiburon both strike out at the Golem, Riff strikes a clean blow, while Tiburon finds a hard time breaking past the Golems armor with his teeth. In retaliation, the Golem smashes both of its fists into the one that hit it, as a mass of poison gas explodes out from its fists to surround the two in front of it.

 DM

The debate over the concepts of victory between Amon and Satoko rages on for a bit before Amon's technique ends and, being in her own body and finding the dragon-naga peering down on her, she loses the nerve to continue her arguments, laughing a little nervously.  Satoko smiles, bearing her fangs,   "I knew you would see it my way,"   she declares, a song in her voice as she snaps her fingers. At once, Suzunabu approaches Yousuke, scooping him up and carrying him fireman style as they retreat into the house.

 "Um, so, you're a Sage, what's that like...?"  Amon asks Satoko hesitantly, trying to pretend the conversation they just had where Amon was able to look her in the eye didn't happen.   "Know any other Sages...?"

Satoko obliges as they enter the house, seeming amused at Amon's shift to being timid all of a sudden.    "Being a Sage... comes at a price, mortal."    Making small talk about the lore of the world that Houshi probably ignores, everyone retreats into the mansion.

 Houshi

Houshi and the gang are led into a dining hall for an early supper, but Suzunabu is too busy dragging the out-cold Yousuke off to resume preparing everyones meal for now.  Satoko sits in her tail, smiling as  Remi  approaches, a little skip in her step.  She seems a bit alienated at the sight of guests, but sits down anyway.  Oddly, there's no trouble finding a chair in Houshi's size.  When Sune sits, Satoko seems to finally take notice of her and they exchange brief pleasantries, mostly a brief nod of the head - the kiss on the hand being obviously omitted. Amon sits like a proper lady as she waits, looking more regal than normal as she removes her headband, letting her hair flop out and steam nearly to her hips.  She eyes Remilia oddly, not sure to make of the little girl, but to deflect such attention, she picks a seat on a far off corner - behind her mother where Amon dare not venture.  She's sadly still in full view of Houshi though if he wants to introduce himself

 "Apologies,"  Suzunabu remarks as she clears the doorway to leave with Yousuke.   "I'll put the new maid to work right away on dinner."

Satoko coos after her,  "Give him the finest warrobe, Meiling.  An extra prize for his companions passion."   As Satoko laughs at her cryptic order, Amon blushing a bit as her mind is aflutter with foul thoughts, Suzunabu just nods understandingly

 Yousuke

Yousuke wakes with a splitting headache on a four poster bed, flopped on his front.  It's decorated quite impressively this bedroom, with much ornate furniture, but a thick layer of dust on everything except a full-length mirror near the bed shows it is currently unoccupied.  Well, in the ongoing sense.  Obviously, Suzunabu is present, nodding as she sees Yousuke stir.  Almost at once, a little blonde fairy flies by her side,past her into the room, dropping down a set of clothes on a chair next to Yousuke's bed, before the fairy blushes a bit and retreats.   "Good, you're alive,"  Suzunabu says with a smile.   "Amon lost her fight too, so you'll be a maid here, starting today.  Get dressed and meet me downstairs in 5 minutes to help prepare dinner.  Do you need any help getting into uniform, rookie?"   She speaks like it was the most ordinary thing in the world.

If Yousuke looks, he sees the bundle is very thrilly and silky, and blue and white... and not at all intended for a man.   "Remember, you serve Satoko-dono loyally now; you mustn't wear it sloppily or drag your feet."

 Chapter One:Exalted

Five days away, at the far end of infinity, there is a city.

It is like no city in the world, for it is not of the world. It is a city of brass and basalt and black iron, where the sun shines green and the wind is death and every shadow is as deep and dark as a scrap of the night.

It is Malfeas, the Demon City, prison to the enemies of gods and men.

The greatest enemy is the city itself: Overthrown, mutilated and laid low, Malfeas the Demon Emperor contains his fellow Yozi bound inside his inverted self. The rage and pain it feels at the wounds dealt in this binding to its pride and to its corpus have not cooled for five thousand years.

And sometimes the city...  convulses .

Out of nowhere on a day with nothing to mark it as unusual, the streets and spires of Malfeas are rent by a massive quake.
The streets buckle like wild beasts, and towers burst forth from underground like bamboo.
Even the layers of folded space twist and writhe; entire neighborhoods appear out of thin air to crash and grind against one another, killing all within.
Canals and alleyways slam shut, and facades fall away like shed skins, revealing taller, grander structures underneath.
Armor and crenellations grow on the walls like fungus.
Chasms tear open to swallow heaps of rubble, and streams of molten brass flow like wax to fill the gaps.

It seems to last forever, an unending chaos of construction and devastation with no clear purpose. Then as abruptly as it began, it is over.

  Read this:

 Spoiler

Describe where you are and what you were doing when the quake hit. What is interrupted, and what form does the interruption take? How do you react?

 Tyrannus Invictis

Tyrannus kept his fists up as he dodged a spiked tentacle that stabbed into the mats beneath him. He heard an instructor shout something about his footwork, which he returned with a nod of acknowledgement while never keeping his eyes off of his monstrous opponent. Just weeks ago, he never would have guessed that he would have been living in a city full of demons, but when life gave you power, you took it, you dumb sack of meat.

The Crucible of Brass and Iron. After the ceremonies and  instructions , Tyrannus had immediately sought it out. The palace was hard to miss, even in the chaotic din that was Malfeas. The Infernal knew his skill in the martial arts were lacking, at least compared to the feats he'd seen on the battlefield and in the city, and that  godsdamn demigod  that had been his enemy had been swatting his troops left and right with graceful sweeps and strikes. It had been like watching a dance.

Tyrannus had wanted to crush him.

Suntarankal was there when the Infernal first arrived, with the demon strolling around in his elderly form. Tyrannus could feel his eyes on him; perhaps he had heard of his Exaltation? He'd made no secret of his wish to learn the martial arts. He'd been accepted easily, and immediately set to brawl with comparatively weak demons.

He'd been fighting until he literally could fight no longer. Sleep came only when he wished it, now, and his sleep was disturbed by the dreams of his troops dieing around him, the feeling of helplessness weighing down. Then he would awake, seek healing, and fight again. He had to build up his skills.

That was what he was doing now, fighting yet another demon, when the quakes struck. The floor rippled beneath him, and he struggled to keep his footing. His opponent, held up by tentacles rather than normal appendages, had a much easier time, and moved to finish him; the instructor had not signaled the end of the match. Tyrannus leaped over the whipping spiked ropes, bringing his fist into what looked like an important bulge in the creature's upper regions. Dark ichor sprayed out, and Tyrannus instinctively dodged, having figured out the hard way that these creatures' blood had a way of  burning . Blood shouldn't do that, unless he could get his too, as well.

His tattoos itched as he stumbled back from his opponent's body, still barely keeping his footing. His instructor had no trouble adjusting to the chaotic rolling of the ground, it seemed, nor did he...she...it seem perturbed by the crashing sounds that were echoing across the city. Finally, after much tossing and turning, the quakes settled down. Tyrannus wobbled his arms a bit until the shakes subsided.

 "What just happened?"  he asked, a hand in his messy white hair.  "I haven't felt any shakes that powerful since I got here. Oh, yeah, and I won."

[User]
 As a mortal woman, Ceres Mnemnon had always been painfully aware of her own limitations. Moving in the same circles as her Exalted family members, she'd had every possible reason to become intimitely familiar with the exact definitions of her own weakness and fallibility - no matter how hard she strove, how keen the mind she applied to the problems in front of her, at the end of the day she simply wasn't able to play on the same level as the Dragon-Blooded around her, and any attempt to do so would merely result in failure.

 More than one of them had taken great delight in reinforcing that truth in her mind. They'd crushed her on the duelling grounds, outperformed her at thaumaturgy, and on more than one exceptionally humiliating occassion, outright seduced her with charm-assisted prowess that was as infuriating as it was irresistable. She'd despised them for it with a relentless and vicious pattern that was almost legendary in scope, even if she had to admit to a certain morbid gratitude over it - an easy life would have made her soft and mediocre, and to her mind that was infinitely worse than any amount of cruelty endured.

 As it turned out, an awareness of your own falibility was an invaluable defense in the Demon City. After the ritual had been concluded and the Infernal Exaltation had been bonded to her soul, she'd been smuggled out of Creation by teams of dedicated cultists that all but worshipped the ground she walked on. She'd been ferried across a seemingly infinite desert by a train of strange and terrifying monsters, and greeted at the gates of an eternal city by a parade of powerful beings that all but knelt at her feet and declared her god.

 It had been incredibly tempting to accept it all at face value - to throw away a lifetime's insecurities and simply accept that yes, at last, she had  made it . To accept a place in this grand and strange hierarchy, and spend the rest of eternity revelling in the power her new position apparently afforded her. But the instincts of a lifetime are not so easily thrown aside... and when she had met the Ebon Dragon, her new sponsor, she was profoundly grateful that she'd kept her own vulnerability in mind.

 She thought he'd been amused. It was hard to tell with something like that.

 With all thoughts of invulnerable superiority once more banished from her mind, she'd been making the rounds of the Demonic social circuit, cautiously getting a feel for how things worked around here, when the quake had struck. Fortunately for her slowly developing reputation, she'd been seated at the time, and hadn't needed to do much more than set one hand on the stone floor of the elegent parlour she was visiting to maintain balance. To have been sent flying, like so many of the lesser demons around her, would have been quite unfortunate.

" That happens quite frequently, I take it? " she said in a calm voice to the propreitor, a bizare thing with far too many arms, once the tremors had subsided.

 Shigeru is working in the hearthroom of the Translucent Stupa, building a large elaborate model. It's a squat, single-story tower with a roof shingled in black jade, with a jade-steel spike curving up from each corner, higher than Shigeru's head at its highest point. The walls of the Stupa are invisible to Shigeru, so he can clearly see the chaos of the quake starting in the distance and sweeping towards him. He calmly continues attaching shingles to the model, confident that the manse will perfectly defend against the quake.
The shockwave slams into the manse, shaking it like a leaf in a storm. Magitech equipment is flung around the room. Shigeru is thrown to the floor and the model shatters.  After the shaking stops, he picks himself wearily off the floor and stares at the pile of wreckage.

 Maybe Cecelyne would be more stable...

 The panic that flowed through your mind as you  struggled to finish the deed, consuming the potion that you gambled would save your life, or end it. the Flashes of consciousness that filled your mind as you recalled the events, being bound in a cave, finding books, being told of your new location, telling The lunar what you felt was save, all a massive blur.

How many days has it been since you where last awake? it was hard to tell. A cold chill permeates the air, you're aware that you have not been moved from your original location the sounds of footsteps can be detected from several feet away from the shadows Durande would arrive, not exactly trying to be subtle in a large brown cloak that he uses to cover himself Plate armor. " How do you feel Enigma?"   The man would ask as he brushes off some of the dirt and foliage that covered his Large form, at least larger than most men.

[User]
 "The potion worked. I am in control of myself for the first time since... since before."  The woman called Enigma gritted her teeth at the memory. Fifty years ago, Enigma was a born Champion of the State. Twenty years ago she contracted the dreaded Gremlin Syndrome. Ten years ago she was hunted down by her former assembly as an Apostate. The fight dragged on and on those many years, both against old friends who now sought her destruction, and against her incurable sickness that drove them to such lengths.

It all reached a climax two weeks ago when she was finally cornered in the Far Reaches. The deepest part of her mind wanted to call out to her pursuers, to tell them of her struggles against her disease, and to repent for all the atrocities she had committed. But that part was buried beneath her Dissonance, subsumed by sociopathy and sadism. The Orichalcum Exalt that led the hunt began weaving the Protocol that would wipe her from the face of Autochthonia. He never knew that, rather than being destroyed, Enigma would find herself cast into Creation.

Two weeks have passed since Enigma landed in the depths of the Eastern forests. Her sudden, explosive arrival was marked by a crater, in the center of which she laid unconscious. Enigma's many survival charms went to work immediately, and she was functional in a matter of hours. Moreover, she was hungry. Her weary body lurched into a nearby village, where she proceeded to murder all of the inhabitants. A rare moment of clarity settled upon her after she had finished. She looked upon her handiwork in horror.

Driven by fear, disgust, and remorse, Enigma hastily concocted a draught from the blood of her victims that she hoped might quiet her homicidal urges. By some miracle, it succeeded, but robbed her of most of her remaining strength. It was there, sprawled upon the ground, that the Lunar Durande Greer found her. She had the look of a mutant, but like none he had ever seen. He thought to put the miserable creature out of her misery when she croaked out a plea for help.

And now she found herself here in this cave.  "I feel better,"  she said, speaking as much to herself as to Durande. She rose to her feet using the cave wall as support. Enigma looked upon the face of her ally, and felt truly hopeful.

You sit curled up on the inside of a stone archway, the cool winds of the mountaintop serving as a constant reminder that you won't be allowed comfort any time soon. A bedroll serves as your most trusty companion, besides the woman who sits a few feet opposite of you, stirring from her sleep while you've been keeping watch over her, in wait of the final piece of information you'll need to finally enact your plans to take down Rocky Fortress. It's an uninspired name, but you've so far been unable to learn what The Risen Empire calls it; so Rocky Fortress it is.

Catherine rises from her slumber, or whatever it is she does; in the few days you've spent together learning about Rocky Fortress, you've learned that she'd a little odd. Maybe it's just the fact that she's a mage from elsewhere in the Kingdom, maybe it isn't, but it's something you've noticed nevertheless. She tugs her blankets off of herself and turns to face you, meeting your eyes with hers and giving a nod of her head.

 "I have the last of the information."  Catherine reveals, taking a long look at the horizon as she recaps the information you know.  "The tunnels will require looking around the mountain itself, scouring every surface, and hoping we can find a loose enough spot to dig through. Approaching it ourselves is easy enough, but most of the defenses will be on the outside; we'd enter with bloodied hands. Their devices mean we have to follow our leads and go further into their territory; then get access to their devices there so we can get into the one here."
 "As for the target herself, I know she's in there. I just sensed her presence, and I wouldn't want to fight her ourselves; there's too much power in the building for her to not have the homeground advantage, and more. So we should save her for last, if we are gonna take her down; but that's your call. I'd rather make Mistress panic and flee."  Catherine shrugs and checks the blade strapped across her hip, looking back at you.  "So, what do you want to try?"

[User]
 Arya looks pained. "To be honest, I don't much like any of our options, but these teleport entrances sound like our best shot."

Arya no longer spoke much. Ever since she had gained her powers and her curse - neither by choice - she was withdrawn, and spoke little. "If we meet this  target , she goes down. If we don't, we cause as much chaos as possible, kill people, and get her out however we can." Arya had lost too much to speak subtly, her hearing being the least of her worries. "Failing that, we find something to blow the place up with. Always works."

Arya Kasstar had a  very  dark sense of humour.

[User]
 "It's not thinking with portals, but that'll do."  Catherine comments in response, as she starts packing away the small amount of gear she used for her rest and hefts it over her shoulder,  "Their territory it is. We'll need to avoid the main roads for patrols; so it looks like more camping."  She lets out a sigh, her hot breath forming mist in the cool weather.

 "If I remember correctly, there are two different  possible  ways to get in. There's meant to be one in one of the smaller crafting villages, which means we'll definitely have to deal with at least one mage who has access to a lot of scrolls. There's also trying to infiltrate one of their cities, which means less direct threat on us, but we're likely to get imprisoned and overwhelmed if we are caught.

[User]
 "Going through the city will reduce questions asked, suspicion, and probability of running into a wizard who's after our blood. It'll increase our own ability to ask questions, quantity of most supplies, and ways of hiding and getting out if we need to escape in a hurry. To be honest, it's probably possible just to walk into the city, given the impracticality of guarding every gate. If you walk into a village, someone knows about it.

And if we get imprisoned, it shouldn't be  too  hard to get out, right?"

[User] "The city it is."  Catherine shrugs her shoulders and stretches out her arms, as she begins to lead her companion along in a walk.  "As for getting out of jail; I have my plans. What're yours?  She asks conversationally, tugging a mapcase off of her belt and pulling out a map of the surrounding area.

[User] "I can smash through walls, make guards kill themselves, and hold entire rooms still. I think I'm fine." Ayra shrugged. "I can also fly, so if I can get outside the building there's no chance of anyone catching me without either magic, or a bow and a damn good aim."

[User]
 "Yeah, the Empire will never have magic."  Catherine intones dryly.  "But sure, whatever floats your boat. Let's just do our best so we don't end up in that situation."

With that, the conversation was as good as ended, and the time came for the two to cross the border of the Empire and head to the nearest city within their lands. Passing through was easy enough, although the journey wasn't particularly exciting, save for one night, when they begin to set up camp, and learn that, although the Empire is quite the dreadnaught in war, they still suffer vulnerabilities within their own lands.

With the fire set up in the center of a wooden clearing, and a rocky overhang to hide them from potential travelers, they hear the commotion of people traveling through the forest. Peeking out from beneath the rock, Ayra spots one of the four figues tilting their head and holding up a gently-glowing necklace in the direction of their camp, which, despite their precautions to hide the smoke, still smells of the stuff.

 If you like fantasy and yearn for an intelligent, meaningful new voice, dip your toes into the turquoise waters of Tourmaline. Just be aware that next time you're out

observing, you might start to see a few rather more unsettling things that weren't there before. Oh, and do watch out for the floating sensor buoys...
Here’s where everything comes together, then. Amongst the plot-of-the-week developments and McGuffins, it turns out The Wrong Mans has been sowing the seeds of a much

bigger plot. And in the final two episodes, it looks like we’re gonna see all of that plotting bear fruit. Sorry, that was a horrible metaphor, I think I’m a bit

over-excited.

 Sleep doesn't come easy to you, and as you toss and turn you can't stop thinking of the coming battle. Naturally, your greatest concern is your role, what is expected of you and what you can actually accomplish.

With the first ray of sunshine you are awakened for a quick breakfast and your journey starts. For most of you this is a first time passing through the Amn wilderness, and you are surprised by the lush vegetation, you never imagined it would be full of life. Aside from a minor skirmish with some trolls that have taken over a local keep you encounter no problems ad by the time the sun setts you reach the gates of Trademeet. Though the town is smaller than Athkatla it is much better decorated, it is almost as if the entire town is glowing. However, a dark shadow looms over it, and you can see despair and suffering in people's eyes. Walden tells you that you are free until morning, when you will report to Lady Leliana.

As the morning comes you feel uneasy. Something is in the air, you can almost taste it. Lady Leliana informs you that that she needs some time for preparations, but you can assist her.

 Spoiler: OOC
You get to spend the night in Trademeet, be creative with your time.😉

Skill challenge.

5 successes, 3 fails
Lady Leliana is performing a ritual, to help her focus her Psonic force.
Arcana is a primary skill. The ritual involves gestures(one Acrobatics check) and maintaining energy(one Endurance check).
You can also use Nature or Religion, but only once.

 So, this is Trademeet  , lucen thought as he scouted the scenery; his silvery hair blowing in the wind and his right hand tickling the tails of his arrows. Not only was he new to the location but he had a sudden jolt of anxiety in his stomach. Could he find clues here? Could they be here, in fact?

lucen walked inside the local pub and walked straight to the bar. He surveyed the room before talking the barman.  Excuse me, can you tell me where the local blacksmith is?  He asks in his slow, elongated speech.

 Sporting a slight gash from their battle with trolls, the Captain was nevertheless in fine spirits. "Aven't a fight liken to 'at for a while." He whistled merrily, "Nex' time though, lettuce be choosin' a bunch o' richer trolls, 'eh?"

"So, fearless leader, utilise meh as ye will." He boasted to Betrys.

[User]
 Xardis

The genasi nods in recognition. The battle was not the toughest one, and even the prison had some spicer thrill. He then notices the psionic energy Leliana is focusing, and he turns to her:   "I'm a spellcaster, let me assist you,"   he says as he draws his sword and focus his energies on it, making the weapon glow with red, glowing magma-like energy.

 Spoiler: OOC

Arcana:  (1d20+10)[ 26 ]

[User]
 Betrys smiles at the captian's antics.   Utilise you well? They have business for that, dear captain.

She runs a hand idly along the stone façade of the building, thinking.   But I just may. Mme. Leliana needs mental focus, not merely magical clarity. This city teems with thousands of minds all shouting their own noises, like off-key birds in the spring. And we need a chorus...

Captain, I need a map or knowledge of the most local buildings and businesses. I will use you like a magnet, if you would let me.

The dryad idly fingers her axe-split lip, rubbing the panther's shoulders with the other. How big would be enough? How much area, how much clarity, would be sufficient for a woman of Mme. Leliana's talents? Betrys herself doesn't use these kinds of psychic abilities - If not for Shorty, she wouldn't recognize them as psychic at all.

  We will carve out a territory Around her place of repose, and we will... Clear it, like an oak would. You and I will walk in circles, and where I will calm the minds and souls of those nearby, you will stir them up into revelry and chaos. We will have to stay at opposite ends of the circle, so I need to know which establishments are nearby, so we know where to stop, where to rest, for how long.    She smiles at the captain, eyes flashing like jewels.   Between the two of us, we will create a psychic tide, a predictable rhythm to even out the ambient chaos of a city's living. What do you say?

 Nysiest, one of the five great kingdoms of the world. Under the rule of King Rayendu, the kingdom has known many years of peace and diplomacy with the other four nations. Yet now, with no warning or provocation, the enemy forces are marching toward castle Nysiest, with no success in stopping them.

___________________________________________

The soldier stumbles slightly as he races up the stairs into the throne room.  "My lord, the enemy forces have crossed the river and are heading right for us! Their number seem to have almost doubled since the last report!"
 "What?!"  King Rayendu immediately stands up from his throne as the soldier relays the news.  "So Fort Turina has fallen... Against those numbers, it would be no surprise though."  King Rayendu slowly sits back down into his throne, his head hung low in thought as he often does, but not for long before the soldier takes another step forward.
 "My Lord, the forces... They're flying a Garym banner."
The King looks back up at the soldier in shock.  "Garym...? No, that's impossible! The skirmishes so far have claimed to be mercenaries and bandits! Gar'hin would never do this!"
Lord Gar'him, the King of Garym, has been known as King Rayendu's closest friend, and the look on King Rayendu's face showed that he could not believe it.
He quickly raises from the throne again, taking a few steps towards the centre of the room.  "No matter the banners, they threaten our home, so they must be defeated. Kerian!"  King Rayendu looks over his shoulder towards his young son over by the throne.  "You must flee. Escape the castle, and head to Estarr. You will be safe there with your mother and sister. Queen Inyo will see to it that none of you are harmed. Odin, make sure he arrives safely please."
A brawny man standing behind Kerian steps forward and with a knight's bow, quietly replies  "Yes, my lord."

[User]
 Kerian shifts quickly forward into the center of his father's vision, expression serious and stance steadfast.
  "Father, I wish to stay and fight here, not flee like some defenseless child."  Kerian finishes his statement with a flash of determination in his eyes.

[User]
 "No! You are not a defenceless child, I understand that, but you must flee. I can not guarantee your protection during this, so I want you no where near here. Now go, head to Estarr, and find your mother and your sister. Odin!"

Odin nods as he takes Kerian by the wrist and guides him past his father and through the halls of castle Nysiest. The majority of the castle has already been evacuated when word of the enemy forces were advancing just to be safe. Now these bare halls, that use to echo with the hum of a small crowd, seem almost creepy with how quiet it is.

Just as you prepare to turn around another corner towards the back exit of the castle, three armed men step out from the other hall and quickly spot you and Odin.  "You there! That's far enough! Waint... Oi boys, look what we have here! The young prince and his noble knight. Imagine the promotion when we bring 'em to general Vlad, eh?!"

Odin quickly pulls two lances from his sling and tosses one down into your hands.  "Let's see if you can keep your word about not being a defenceless child lad."
_______________________________________

The words from the wounded soldier was correct. Caden and Rikke round the last bend and see the dozen or so soldiers running into the castle. A few of the last soldiers catch a glimpse of you as you approach and quickly turn direction and head towards you, yelling  "For the Empire!"

 Scanning through the hall, the swordsman takes stock of the situation. Clicking his tongue with distate at their banners, he draws his sword and whips his head to say something to his companion.

  "Do not overextend yourself Rikke, they outnumber us 5:1 at the very least. I will advance to draw their attention away from you. Do as you must to protect our prince."   Sneering at the assembled soldiers he puts on an arrogant front to attract their focus,   "Surrender your arms or die in obscurity, rabble! You will not leave these halls alive, I promise you."

 Spoiler
Move: 4 Squares immediately left.

[User]
 Catching his lance, Kerian quickly recognizes it as his own personal spear.   "Guess the old man was more thoughtful than I took him for..."   Wasting no time in his musings, Kerian rushes the closest sword user, remembering that one of the first lessons he was taught was that the reach of a lance makes the quickness of a blade nigh useless.   "Take the one on the right, Odin!"  Kerian shouts to his companion as he charges the surly looking soldier.

 Spoiler
Kerian moves 4 spaces southward and attacks the Mercenary.  The preferred Odin move would be to have him move 5 spaces south and attack the soldier to the west of that space with the Silver Lance.

 "Troops in the capital, what horrible tides..."
The envoy's daughter composes herself before suggesting recklessly.
 "Absolutely, sieur Caden. To the monarch!"

The lady departs swiftly with a kick of the stirrups, bow in hand. Not yet near enough to draw, Rikke's white knuckles grip rein beneath rider's gloves.

 "Have at him, sieur!"

[User]
 After seeing his spearhead find it's mark, Kerian let himself gloat as the soldier recoiled in pain.  He quickly realized his mistake as the soldier quickly returned his blows, though Kerian was able to deflect the brunt of strikes to his small shield.  He countered with a riposte, and was immediately set upon by another soldier, this one wielding lance, who gets a piercing strike at Kerian's side, though it is deflected by his armor.

 "I guess you guys really want that promotion, eh?"  Kerian quips through the shooting pain in his arm and side.  Seeing his opportunity at the now open sword-wielder, he aims his spear at the gaping hole in the defense and strikes.

 Spoiler
Kerian attacks the mercenary again, preferred Odin move is to move south one space and attack the soldier.

[User]
 Taking stock of the situation the young lord dashes in, blade poised at the man's throat.   "So be it."   Scoffing at the meager defense, the swordsman's blade quickly enters its target and makes its equally vicious exit.

[User]
 The swordsman twists his body away to avoid the worst of it but the unmistakable sensation of the steel tearing through flesh causes him to grit his teeth in pain. Propping his sword up in spite of his pain, he watches for Rikke's response before doing anything else.   "Rikke, now."

Seeing her follow through with his command, Caden releases a pained sigh and downs a significant portion of his vulnerary and lets the potent, if bitter restorative fluids heal him.

[User]
 The quarrel *thrummed* with a precise trajectory. As the noblewoman rides upon the scene, she comes to a halt just above the lifeless body. Circling the haggard house scion, she asks concernedly about his condition.

 "Officier Caden, are you quite alright?"

[User] "Well enough,"   he manages in between gulps.   "Worry not for me, think only of what our prince must be dealing with."

[User]
 Seeing his lance find it's mark and the soldier fall, Kerian finally surveys his surroundings.
  "...I guess I still have a lot to learn from you, eh, Odin?"  Kerian muses after seeing the two slain soldiers next to Odin.   "No time to gloat, best make the best of this while we can..."  he thinks to himself as he runs behind Odin as he takes a chug of the healing salve he had kept on himself at all times for weeks.

 As his opponent falls, Kerian notices something other than formerly occupied armor hit the ground.   "What in the name of..."  he muses as he reaches down and picks up the small object.

[User] You are all of great renown in Varisia or at least in Magnimaar. You have fought battles that will keep you written down in history. But most you have not fought yet. And one of the most perilous of those was written down to be when you claered hook-mountain. It began when you were all called to meet in the city hall of Magnaimaar by the mayor-Haldmeer Grobaras. When you arrive at the hall where a feast has been prepared you find he is already sitting there.  "Hello, I trust you are comfartable. You are all some of Varisia's most infamous heroes and that his why I called upon you, but first let us dine."

[User]
 Sargov

The homunculus sat at the far end of the table, away from his gracious host.  Even dressed in his finest he was out of his sorts, Sargov was not a gentlemen of refinement, and that showed through as he wiped a greasy strand of hair from his face.

He tried not to show his embarrassment as he sat there.  Awkwardly he served himself some food and waited till everyone else was served before starting.

[User]
 Zidra  enters next. Her dark, unadorned robes contrasting her sparkling silver hair and delicate features. She looks around a brief moment, as though deep in thought. She smiles a gentle smile, thanking the host and taking her place at the table.

 "At least Mr. Birdkiller is here. Good evening to you sir!"  She says pulling a pocket journal from her oversized sleeve with one hand and beginning to slowly eat with the other. Her tone may be taken as sarcastic by some, but the earnest look in her eyes suggest otherwise. She goes from reading her book, eating, looking at newcomers, and back to her book again several times.

OOC: Yes, you will all have nicknames. No i don't care if you don't want one.

[User]
 Red

Red paused in the doorway, looking warily around the room, uncertain of what exactly came next.

She should have worn a dress. A nice dress. You were supposed to wear pretty things when you got asked out by important people. But it'd seemed so silly when she'd gotten the invitation - to spend money on something she'd only wear once for someone she didn't really know (or care for). And just what would she have done with the dress later on? She couldn't wear it to work. It was already hard enough being the shortest human sell-sword she knew. She didn't need any more teasing about 'being a woman' either.

Taking a deep breath, Red approached the table and greeted the mayor politely. Too late for regrets now. At least she'd polished her armour and her clothes were cleaner than they'd been in weeks.

Red frowned at the feast arrayed on the table as she made her way to an empty chair. Rich person food. No wonder the mayor was fat. Odd company too. The archer champion didn't seem like he wanted people to talk to him. And why was the tiefling lady reading a book at this time?

Nevertheless, Red smiled shyly at her dinner companions as she took her seat.  "Hello."

[User] Zidra looks up.  "Hi Red!"  she says jovially before scribbling a note in her book.

[User]
 Samael sits rather stiffly at the table. If it wasn't for a thin, darting tail emerging from his lower back or winged growths protruding from his shoulder blades, the man would be the stereotype of Chelaxian appearance. His skin is stark white, and his short, well groomed hair is a deep brown. The tiefling has large, warm eyes. His thin, wiry frame reaches average height, and is cloaked in black silk.

Formal dining reminded him of home, and the great banquets his family hosted while he was secreted away in some corner. Aware of proper dinner etiquette, he waits for the everyone to be served before timidly nibbling at the food.  "Have you reconsidered your stance on donating city funds to the Church of the Sarenrae, sir mayor?"  He asks, with a hopeful look on his face.

[User]
 Red

Red watched with frank curiosity as the tiefling lady did her writing. Writing at dinner too? The monks who had raised her with wouldn't have approved of doing so many things while eating. Not that she'd cared much about what they did or did not approve of back then anyway.

 "Miss... Zidra, yes? What sort of book... is that?"

He ignored the barb from Zidra.  WIth keen eyes he watched the other, just keeping silent... until he made awful slurping sounds as he drank his soup.

[User]
 Zidra replies to Red's question excitedly:  "Oh I keep all sorts of things in here! I guess you could say it's a journal."  After Samael enters, she adds  "Oh! And I haven't put Sunny here in it yet."  She quickly scribbles something into the book.

OOC: Yeah I'm switchin' to normal blue because Navy basically just looks black.

[User]
 Red

A faint crease appeared at Red's brow. That didn't quite make sense.

"But why do you have to write stuff down? Can't you just keep it... in your head?"

She glanced across the table at the quiet archer champion as she spoke, flashing him a brief but warm smile. It was good to know that someone was enjoying the food more than she was.

[User] Zidra tilts her head, looking contemplative for a moment.  "You can't keep  everything  in your head! Besides, it's more fun to write stuff down."

[User] "Are we all comfotable? Then I shall begin. As some of you may know the Hook Mountain is a dangerous place, most of all for the residents of Turtleback Ferry. We know of this danger, so we put up Fort Rannick and employed the Black Arrows to help defend Turtleback Ferry. However, we haven't had any communication with them for a long time so we have elected to send you to see what is happening to Fort Rannick and is the worst comes to the worst then you'll have to retake it from the Ogres the dwell there."

[User]
 Red

It took Red a while to figure out that the mayor didn't actually mean that the Black Arrows were ogres and that he wasn't telling them everything. She lifted her head ever so slightly and frowned.

 "... I'm sorry. I don't... understand. You think that the ogres... took over the fort?"

[User]
 Sargov

The ugly man stopped slurping long enough to hear that there might be some killing of ogres.  He was about to say something when Red asked his question.

[User] "That isn't the only possibility but they are the greatest threat round there. It's more likely that they're just being especially quiet or maybe bandits have attacked. Just be wary of ogres in the vicinity."

[User] "I somehow doubt ordinary bandits could stand up to the Black Arrows... but I guess we'll know once I take a peek over there."  She does a little arcane flourish with prestidigitation to indicate she's talking about her spells.

[User]
 Sargov

In a gruff voice he asks,  "What is the standard method of communication between here and the fort?"

[User]
 Red

Something still didn't quite feel right in Red's gut, and it wasn't from the food. She folded her arms and glanced uneasily at the others, waiting for the archer champion to finish his question before speaking, her voice low but sharp.

 "Mister Mayor... Why us? How come you can't... send regular soldiers?"

[User] Zidra blurts out in response to red:  "Because we're awesome?!"  She tilts her head and smiles.

[User] Samael sits in silence, with a concerned look upon his face.

[User]
 Red

Red didn't quite understand what being awesome had to do with it. Usually when someone bought her food or drink before telling her she'd been chosen to do something for them, there was always something else they weren't telling her. Nevertheless, she kept her peace, simply giving Zidra a slightly puzzled look before turning back to the mayor.

"... Mister... Sargov asked a question?"

[User] "We usually have a messanger who comes every month or two. But he has not come for four months and we have become slightly concerned. The reason I chose you is because of the great things I have heard about you and the soldiers are for protecting Magnimaar and the surrounding area."

[User] "See? Awesome!"  Zidra says happily, but not condescendingly.

[User]
 Sargov
 "Four months is quiet a bit of time,"  the ugly man said,  "Have you sent anyone else up there?"

[User] "No. They are usually very quiet and as I said before, our soldiers are needed here."

[User]
 Red

Red sighed and shook her head. Something about the whole thing still didn't sit right in her tummy. It sounded like the mayor was just being lazy. Even so, a bad request for help was still a request for help.

 "Um... Are you expecting us to do this... for free?"  She stared glumly down at her plate, her voice soft, almost embarrassed to ask the question. This whole trip sounded like it would take some time. She'd have to hold off all other job-offers. And it wasn't as though she had all that much cash to spare at the moment.

[User] Of course not, you will each be given 750 gold peices to pay for both the expenses and just to pay for your services."

[User]
 Red

She pricked up her ears. 750 gold? That didn't sound too bad. Especially if it turned out there were no ogres and things to bother with.

[User]
 Sargov

The hairs in the back of his neck stood when he heard his answer.  Things didn't sound good.   "Fine, we'll start tomorrow,"  he says and he puts aside his soup bowl and starts on another round of food.

[User] All the while Zidra has been scribbling in her journal. Now that things are wrapping up, she asks  "Who's the head honcho at the fort? I can check up on him to see how things are going before we skeedaddle."

[User] "The man in charge is commander Bayden, but I have not heard from him in a long time."

[User]
 Sargov

He nods as he continues to eat.  The ugly man is willing to listen to any more questions, but all in all he is ready to start the adventure.

[User]
 Red
 "... Um... How are we going... to get there? If it is... important, we shouldn't... walk."

[User] "I can provide either a horse each, or a boat to travel along the river that leads there, depending on which you would rather take."

[User]
 Sargov
 "Horses, I hate water,"  answers Sargov.

[User] "Horses are more fun I think."

[User]
 Red

Red liked horses. They were such powerful and fast animals. She merely smiled to herself.

[User] "OK, horses it is. I'll have them for you by tomorrow."

[User]
 Time Skip

You arrive at the stables at the outskirts of Magnimaar, a stablehand is waiting for you. "Ahh, there you are. I've heard stories about some of you. Your horses are here. Take your pick."

[User]
 Sargov
 "Thanks,"  the archer says gruffly and mounts the beast.

[User]
 Red

Red eyed the stablehand, wondering exactly what stories it was that he had heard. Nevertheless, she smiled and nodded her thanks, going for the smallest horse of those available.

[User] Zidra takes whichever horse is darkest.
