The gleam of the yellow energy began to fill up the office space as Night Guard Captain Robert Hoyles advanced with a steely glint of conviction in his eyes, as his sword looked like it was turning an orangy glow at the edges around the blade, as if it was getting hotter and hotter, as the electrical like current crackled through it more intensely, he raised his blade up after his exclamation about how he would liberate his uncle.  As he raised his blade a large white hollow armor figure appeared, instead transparent where  there would be a person. More of the same energy crackling all around when  it phased into the space into a white blinding light, the figure raised it's hand up, and formed what appeared to be some sort of large lightning  bolt much like Zeus was often depicted holding, generating a field of energy which engulfed the tendrils.<br>
<br>
When this happened suddenly a white smooth blob of sorts appeared  visibly on Lord Hoyle's back, as if it had been driven out of hiding. More unexpected than that was when it opened up a hole  in it's body which revealed multiple sets of small sharp teeth going down it's throat, and it let out an ear piercing scream which went throughout the house.<br>
<br>
This screech caused Kane to immediately recoil in pain trying to cover his ears, his inexperience showing with this situation. Meanwhile on the other hand Robert stood clear holding his resolve even with a look of discomfort on his face as when he brought his sword down, the armored energy figure brought down it's large electrical energy source which homed into the white blob and caused it to stop screaming and become blackened and steaming.<br>
<br>
The energy figure then disappeared as Lord Hoyles collapsed to the ground seemingly unconscious. Meanwhile the guard who had been smashed was still bleeding out of the mouth seemingly unresponsive.<br>
<br>
Immediately after this Robert when to his Uncle's side and checked on him, not to see if his ability had hurt him, since it had been strategic but to see if defeating the white blob had inadvertently caused him harm<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Thank the gods he's still breathing, we need someone more qualified to  come and see what happened..as far as I can tell he doesn't have any other affliction than his energy being drained..I'll start a communication line to make it so."</span> Robert spoke with great relief in his voice, having appeared quite tense and urgent before.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"But with that vile creature overwhelming him then that means his family could very well be in danger in this house as we speak.."</span><br>
<br>
Kane nodded back, <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"Why don't you stay here with him, make the call  and I'll go secure the area." </span><br>
<br>
Robert nodded, <span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Very well." </span>While Kane was exiting looked like Robert was pulling out some sort of small stone with runes on it, presumably to call for help in some capacity.<br>
<br>
Kane felt it was the least he could do given the circumstances, and he figured Robert probably wasn't going to trust leaving someone like him alone with the unconscious Lord Hoyles...<br>
<br>
So for now Kane headed to check out the other rooms, unaware that Victorique had been looking around.<br>
---<br>
<br>
After seeing the various evidence in the prior scenes from the blood all over the room, tiny holes much like she had seen in the ground at the crime scene, and the disturbing drawings and symbols which were in a language which was foreign, by the point she was  coming across the pounding at the door, the flash of light from what had been going on in the fight in the office entered her space too, as had the loud shrieking sound which was probably even more unpleasant on account of her more attuned hearing. During the screech, the hitting against the closet door had stopped as a muffled sound of pain could be heard coming from the other side, it sounded possibly human rather than anything else. Was Victorique going to risk opening the door up for a possibly unfortunate surprise or in doing so would she end up helping someone who was currently in a precarious situation,  or was she going to play it safe and leave whatever was behind there until she could get more support.<br>

There was a strange white hard substance  which looked very similar to the sheen on teh tendrils which had been used to restrict her movement around her arms and legs, as well as a strip of the stuff which appeared to have been put over her mouth similar to a gag, which explained why there had been muffled sounds. It looked like she was overtired and distraught, hardly having enough energy to do the tapping she had it looked like. When she saw Victorique her struggle became more invigorated as she let out some muffled sounds of urgency.</div>

<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Who knows maybe you’re right and we’ll encounter something else grand that you can vanquish, If it comes to it I wouldn’t mind something rarer to dissect and study.” </span>He said casually at that thought.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Since moving here from Kuridan for my research I can certainly agree with you there, if you are seeking adventure and can handle harsh environments this land has plenty to offer, why I’d say it’s very likely there are other monsters and beasts very similar to what we encountered earlier..and there must be many more unexplored or forgotten areas with grand loot, so at the very least the adventurers around these parts have things to aspire for..”<br>
<br>
“Now that you seem to be more suited for this area perhaps it’d be worth your time checking out more at some point.”</span><br>
<br>
After that point when Gyld had gone off shifting his form some, to be more like the material the snakes had been made off, it looked like that move triggered some flight response from the icy crabs as they immediately began to scurry away from the shifting owlbear. While Gyld did indeed feel more harmony and resilient to his current environment, like he belonged there alongside the natural white cold expanse, when he shifted into the White Bear form suddenly a few sizable large dog sized icy looking lobster creatures with large claws that appeared to be laced with some sort of frosty venom, similar to the ones the icy snakes had possessed, emerged from the nearby shore, with cracking sounds, breaking through the ice and began to back away from him defensively too, the large bear form triggering this survival reaction it seemed, snapping their claws with similar force to a snapping turtle’s mouth. However from a look they didn’t look like they were keen on attacking Gyld or the other two, just keeping their defensive stance and distance for the time being.<br>

<br>
While this started to transpire the Professor was still focused on assisting Phoebe.<br>
<br>
Professor Neco kept up his look of warmth at Phoebe’s reciprocation. As Phoebe was more at ease it was clear to her that the professor was too, it was certainly nice for the group to just be able to take in their environment without some deadly threat on the horizon.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Right..then that’s just about perfect, I’ll assist in making a copy of a record of your results so I’ll have a set on my end of things too..”</span> Professor Neco replied as he focused on the way and direction that Phoebe was holding the amulet, one of his eyes now glowing that same greenish color which his energy had been when he cut those snakes with his magical slashes.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Are you certain you haven’t done this before? To me you look like a natural~” </span>He complimented her field work abilities.<br>
<br>
He focused carefully on the way the amulet eye started to glow and seemingly respond to the mana which had ‘washed up’ suddenly the basilisk eye dilated some, and at first Phoebe and the professor would see a strong red glow coming from the eye, and a transparent but strong line of mana showing up on where the sightline of the eye would be if the creature that owned it had been alive.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“About what I expected..that reddish tone from the perspective of this eye means monster, and since the color is intense..that means that it’s quite potent too..as we were both expecting and as your hypothesis you told me earlier suggested..but..”</span><br>
<br>
Professor Neko’s brows furrowed a bit when suddenly the energy line shifted to more of a darkish brown color..<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“So..it looks like there’s some Fae mana in this area too on the shoreline..I can’t say I was expecting that..most of the fae around these parts are adventurers trying to make a name for themselves..and of course there are some minority populations but truthfully I’m not entirely sure why there’s enough to register here..encase you were wondering the reason it’s presenting that that color is because it’s detecting a mix..perhaps you should try moving the eye down the line further to see if there’s anything else of interest..”</span><br>
<br>
Even when the professor noticed the lobsters he didn’t seem to react, focused on the task at hand still, afterall Gyld was there and he had taken down a legendary beast, or perhaps it was because the professor knew that species wasn’t something to be particularly worried about, either way, he awaited for Phoebe to shift the gaze if she desired, as he inquired,<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Any thought as to why this..concentration is mixed the way it is?” </span>He seemed genuinely curious in her thoughts on the matter.<br>
<br>

It wasn't anything like this in the field though or as extensive as a project, mind you. It was mainly just indoor research on a few artifacts."</b></span> Her focus on guiding the amulet's gaze didn't waver as she responded to the Professor's comment, the color of its eye changing in her hand into a bright red glow.<br>
<br>
Phoebe nodded along as the Professor explained the what the red color indicated the presence of, being more or less what she was expecting with her theory from earlier. What wasn't expected however was the glow from the amulet shifted from a bright red to a darkish brown, a sign of Fae mana as the Professor explained. How curious, especially when taking into account the Professor said about the lack of a significant Fae population around these parts. She thought the situation over for a few moments before responding to the Professor's question.<span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)"><b> "Hmmm, perhaps there was a powerful group of Fae here in recent times? That would be my immediate thought. I can't imagine there being much expeditions to the other continent, what with all the powerful monsters judging by how bright that red glow was, though I suppose it could be a possibility." </b></span><br>
<br>
Her hands guided the amulet's gaze further down the coastline as she finished voicing her thoughts, following the Professor's suggestion. It was looking like this phenomenon had a more nuanced story behind it than she previously thought.</div>

<br>
She was glad she'd gotten out, as it sounded like it was a rather big scuffle starting out back in the office. She'd definitely just gotten in the way there. Without her, the others would be fine. That's what she told herself at least. That said, without someone to fight for her, she'd have to move cautiously. She'd carefully open all doors, glossing into them a bit to get an idea of what to expect.<br>
<br>
The parchment caught her eyes. A language she didn't read? That was odd, as she spoke all the mayor ones. She figured she'd put the parchment in her [Pocket Dimension] so that she'd be able to figure out how to translate it later. It looked an awful lot like monster, but that one she spoke, so perhaps it was a dialect of it? That'd allow her to figure it out later, with some time.<br>
<br>
The next room had even more of a paper trail. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Monsters preparing a massive ritualistic sacrifice to some sort of Eldritch god... I guess I can add that to the list of options now...”</b></span> She mumbled to herself, as she decided to pick up the second parchment as well and put in her [Pocket Dimension].<br>
<br>
Arriving at the main dude's bedroom, she honestly wanted to close the door as quickly as she'd opened it. If they were summoning some monstrosity, perhaps they'd tried summoning one here first? Yikes. She'd seen enough horror movies to know how bad of a vibe summoning demons could be. The dried up blood didn't help either. Maybe this is where those tendrils were first summoned from? The small holes in the floor and bed suggest as much. <br>
<br>
That's when she heard and smelled something in the closet. She was about to just turn around, close the door and fuck off out of the house altogether, when she realised it was fairly human smelling and sounding. What was her duty of care in this situation? Ugh. She hated the fact she'd watched so many horror movies in her past life, as she was anticipating just about every possible angel of attack and jump-scare that could come at her from right then and there.<br>
<br>
That's when she had an idea. Using [Halfling Parkour B], she quickly parkour her way atop the closet. That way, nothing could approach her from behind as she was opening it and nothing could jump out of the closet to catch her! Hah! The foolproof way to open up a closet was definitely from on top of it. The only question was, how, as there wasn't really a door handle to reach to from up here. She'd try to pry it open from up-top, or if that failed, she'd try to use her [Danger Instinct B] to further sense what might be in the closet. If all else failed, she could still use [Ultimate Future Detective] to predict what would happen were she to open the closet before actually doing so. Hopefully.<br>
<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Gyld’s form shone under the influence of his new ability, his fur reflecting the flickers of icy light, an embodiment of the essence of the North mingled with the resilient energy of the Eternal Glade. It was a harmonious concoction of both his origins and his recent triumphs. Gyld contemplated, his eyes reflecting the seamless integration of the two seemingly opposing forces. His musings revolved around the newfound capabilities, the extension of his being resonating with the harmonious synchronization of the North and the Glade.<br>
<br>
He felt the sturdy transformation taking place, his body swelling in size, evolving into the robust form of the White Bear of the North, albeit with minor alterations, intertwining his being with the Eternal Glade's essence. The icy fur shimmered, encased in a layer of crystalline frost, reflective of the serenity and the enduring nature of his new form. His mind, still a whirl of adventurous thoughts, was now marked with a trace of serene wisdom, the byproduct of integrating the bear's heart.<br>
<br>
The air around Gyld thrummed with power as he summoned his newfound Domain Ability, [Northern Bear of the Eternal Glade]. His large paws, laced with frost and layered with sturdy armor, were now imprints of both his and the bear's essence on the snow-clad ground. A gentle hum resonated around him, a sonorous melody of the forest’s stride, representing his newfound unity with the environment. He felt a rush of vitality, the regenerative powers embedded in his new form coursing through his veins, making him feel invulnerable to the trivial wounds of the environment.<br>
<br>
His every step exuded an aura of commanding presence, the mighty form instigating a flight response among the icy inhabitants of the shore. His senses, heightened and refined, could perceive every scuttle of the crabs, every flicker of the icy sparks around him. The large dog-sized icy lobster creatures seemed to respect his imposing form, maintaining a cautious distance, their actions indicating a reluctant deference to his newfound might.<br>
<br>
However, his contemplative demeanor was retained under the sturdy and imposing appearance. His thoughts were swarmed with the ponderings of the harmony he felt within the Eternal Glade. It was as if the icy demeanor of the North had found a sanctuary within the lush and vibrant spirit of the Glade. He sensed a philosophical enrichment in his thoughts, contemplating the unity of seemingly contrasting elements. The majestic bear, now a harmonious blend of frost and foliage, was an embodiment of the tranquil might and resilient spirit of his entwined realms.<br>
<br>
This delicate equilibrium between his inherent boisterous nature and the serene contemplations marked a significant evolution in Gyld's journey. His eyes, while still sparkling with unyielding zest for adventures and challenges, now held a glimpse of harmonious wisdom, reflecting his growth and the unified spirit of the North and the Glade.<br>
<br>
Gyld’s imposing form, a symphony of frost and glade, towered over the crabs. His large form radiated an energy mingled with boredom and a hint of mischief. His eyes, holding the sparkles of both ice and forest, glanced towards the little creatures, holding a certain eagerness and determination. He heaved a sigh, his breath creating a small swirl of frost in the air.<br>
<br>
He then vocalized his command, his voice echoing in the ancient language of animals and spirit beasts, the words a symphony of growls, roars, and harmonious tones, each syllable resonating with the essence of the eternal and the icy. <b><span style="font-size: 22px">“Summon your guardian,”</span></b> Gyld’s voice reverberated across the shore, the waves seemingly pausing to convey his words to the unseen depths. <b><span style="font-size: 22px">“I seek discourse with the Sire of the North, the immortal guardian of these frost-laden shores.”</span></b><br>
<br>
His gaze, fixed on the crabs, held a hint of anticipation, a restless spirit wishing for a dialogue with a being of equivalent or superior standing. His mind swirled with thoughts of what such an entity would possess in terms of knowledge and power, and the possible dialogues and, perhaps, confrontations that might ensue stirred his spirit.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">Professor Neco</span><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/screenshot-2023-05-02-at-11-31-35-pm-1-1-1-png.1115728/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1052/1052858-f36e4a40f0d1169d7c47d39cedc59c56.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Screenshot 2023-05-02 at 11.31.35 PM-1-1-1.png" title="Screenshot 2023-05-02 at 11.31.35 PM-1-1-1.png" width="100" height="149" loading="lazy"></a></b>​</div><br>
Professor Neco gave a nod at Phoebe’s explanation that she had some experience helping with research prior. <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“That certainly explains some of the mindset you’re carrying into this activity then, I appreciate it, I think your parents have done you well.” </span>He said with a smile.<br>
<br>
He thought for a moment before nodding, <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“That’s perfectly possible there were fae adventurers nearby on the other side even one particularly strong one could do it which is a variable for consideration certainly because as you say most do not..but if your combat abilities are elite enough..there are some who take the risk..Regardless of that  most Fae’s mana tends to be pretty strong given their inherent magical nature, so even if there weren’t all too many around in a way it  makes sense they’re showing up on the reading in some capacity..There may be others I am not aware of too within the snowy depths..they do tend to be a pretty diverse group after all..”</span><br>
<br>
The professor’s one eye continued to glow green, to show that he was in fact still recording what they were seeing with the amulet.<br>
<br>
Finally the amulet eye would shift to a slight yellowy hue as she brought it even farther along.<br>
<br>
Professor Neco gave a nod at seeing it, <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“This seems pretty typical for this area,  that mana originates from beasts, which makes perfect sense, there are plenty of non hostile animals as well as monsters which could have wandered over there or are even from around here, so it’s perfectly accounted for..I’d definitely say the fae energy is what’s the most surprising..now then unless you’d like to continue to sample more shoreline, I think the sample for this area is sufficient enough to get a general sense of what the rest of it will probably look like nearby this stretch at least…We can certainly start writing up some thoughts, I think in order to get a more complete picture you’ll want to come back here and again, and to other parts of the shoreline with possibly even more advanced information gathering magic, I believe that eye amulet  you have could be tweaked to be even more powerful and descriptive  with someone who knows the craft well,  It’d be particularly helpful if we could get even more specific and see  the type of monster(s) fae(s) and beast(s) which are leaving these signatures, but this’ll get you started nicely on your research.”</span><br>
<br>
 Professor Neco advised and said with a smile once more.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“I’d also certainly be agreeable to coming back here again with you if you’d like at some point.”</span><br>
<br>
After this interaction Professor Neco did look over toward the direction of Gyld., as it was a bit hard to ignore with him being large and booming.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Well that's certainly an impressive display hm? Gyld continues to amaze me, after that encounter and that consumption of the heart, he’s already gained the ability to do this..I have a feeling that he’ll be quite the force to reckon with..” </span>Professor Neco asked rhetorically at the the sight. Professor Neco looked a bit visibly surprised to hear  Gyld speak the strange language and he would have been even more so if he understood what his command was, as he would have wondered how Gyld even knew who that was, not understanding that Gyld had gained quite a bit of what the Great White Bear of the North knew.<br>
<br>
<br>
It was as if Gyld was one with this environment in the form he held. There were similarities to the White Bear of the North which only added to the organic form looking at home in the harsh expanse. The hum and stance, the intertwining of the environment and him, this form demanded respect of the wild of the Kingdom of Rotia.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(84, 172, 210)">Icy Lobsters</span><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/screenshot-2023-09-08-at-11-31-24-pm-1-png.1115729/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1052/1052859-5e65048f510c169b0db0203fa8a4d372.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Screenshot 2023-09-08 at 11.31.24 PM-1.png" title="Screenshot 2023-09-08 at 11.31.24 PM-1.png" width="125" height="100" loading="lazy"></a></b>​</div><br>
Upon hearing the booming command the smaller crabs and larger icy lobsters seemed to turn to him and get into a line, it was quite a sight to behold, these creatures now seemingly diligent, they then suddenly started to gather around in a circle moving in and out in some sort of strange motion, like they were performing some sort of ritual on the ice, as strange  blue energized runic symbols appeared on the land.<br>
<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">Sire of the North</span></b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/tumblr_o26dqyc43z1r426wco1_1280-jpg.1115730/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1052/1052860-a00764236064c25fa17aa219ed1be43e.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="tumblr_o26dqyc43z1r426wco1_1280.jpg" title="tumblr_o26dqyc43z1r426wco1_1280.jpg" width="100" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
<br>
The ground then began to shake as a large blue appendage broke through the center of the circle, and then another and another until a [Large] figure who appeared to be made of ice was standing before Gyld, if the Great White Bear of the North had made the air cold it was as if the land froze over again in proximity of this figure. It was definitely in a size class which would have been disconcerting to most who would dare to face off against it. One could only guess how much a figure like that weighed.<br>
<br>
Without really any discernible facial features body language wasn’t the easiest to read, and this time it spoke like how one might expect a very ancient being to speak, in the strange language which Gyld had spoken.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">“”# It is bold for you to reach out to me. As you have freed one of my children, It is only fair that I hear your request.  What do you wish to discuss with me,  great warrior?#” </span><br>
<br>
After the summon the icy creatures stayed around the guardian in a circle of sorts spread out.<br>

Who knew if there was anything else hostile around here? Worst case scenario there could be another one of those monsters which he had no idea if he’d be able to deal with it alone, given how strong the other one was probably not, since he was pretty sure the guard it smashed instantly  was probably more adept at this situation than he was. On his way booking around when he glanced out of the wavy glass window, since it was done in the old way, he saw what appeared to be a larger group of guards as well as some what he could only presume was a magic caster based on the staff, making their way on foot toward the building in the far distance,  which let him let out a small sigh of relief as he continued to move throughout, that meant that Robert’s message had gone through.<br>
<br>
Kane ended up freezing up a bit when he reached the area with all the doors that Victorique had been exploring, not realizing that she was so close by as he too heard the hitting against the door which Victorique was currently being cautious about..he had to weigh his options if he should rush into that room or not, it might be better just to wait for the guards to arrive before engaging others.. For now he was on standby outside the room that Victorique was in..looking tense.<br>
---<br>
Victorique’s ability to get on top of the closest was successful thanks to her light weight and agility. Her danger instinct didn’t appear to reveal anything that was immediately dangerous near her, Since she didn't have a way to see through the door or to enhance her range the appraisal part of her ability didn’t really reveal anything while looking at the door, which was probably a good thing since it meant there wasn’t a trap there. <br>
<br>
At that point however she was able to reach and open the door up, revealing something which was probably quite a bit of a relief given just how dangerous everything had been leading up to this point with potential threats around every corner in this environment after what had transpired here.<br>
<br>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/screenshot-2023-09-15-at-11-36-21-pm-1-png.1115732/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1052/1052862-d951fc54c95bfa6907aa15cdac7563a0.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Screenshot 2023-09-15 at 11.36.21 PM-1.png" title="Screenshot 2023-09-15 at 11.36.21 PM-1.png" width="100" height="141" loading="lazy"></a>​</div>When Victorique opened the door there was a woman on the ground dressed in an elegant dress. There was a strange white hard substance which looked very similar to the sheen on the tendrils which had been used to restrict her movement around her arms and legs, as well as a strip of the stuff which appeared to have been put over her mouth similar to a gag, which explained why there had been muffled sounds. Based on her eyes it  looked like she was overtired and distraught, hardly having enough energy to do the tapping she had it looked like. Not seeing any one immediately seemed to puzzle her as she looked around the room sounding further panicked now after the doors concealing her opened before she fell forward out of the closet. She eventually managed to roll a bit and when  she saw Victorique her struggle became more invigorated as she let out some muffled sounds of urgency. She couldn’t very well speak to her in her current condition. The woman would need to be freed by Victorique in order to tell her anything of value.<br>
<br>
 At the very least her high appraisal level  had also revealed unless it had been an extremely high grade that there were no illusions at play at the moment either.<br>

Perched atop the closet like a tiny gargoyle, Victorique observed what came falling out of it. When she spotted the tendril-like stuff that'd bound the woman, she did a double-check to see if those weren't going to suddenly start moving. It didn't seem like they would. Upon confirming as much, she'd hop down from the closet, landing next to the woman and removing the gag. She didn't really have any sharp objects to cut the ropes with, so she'd have to check if she could otherwise remove those whilst she'd ask some questions. Or well... she honestly didn't expect to get in any questions. This woman looked like she'd start talking her ears off the moment that gag was removed, so perhaps it was best to let her do so and filter out the information from that. That'd probably give her more coherent and useful answers later. <br>
<br>
That's when she spotted Kane at the door. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Oi, don't just stand there. Help me untie her.”</b></span> She told him. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Also, how did things wrap up on your end?”</b></span> She purposefully kept it vague, not wanting to scare this woman with horror about what she assumed to be her husband. Hopefully Kane would catch up on that. Actually, come to think on it, those twins would've been her daughters? Yikes. That might mean that she'd have to tell a woman her daughters were horrible slain by some monsters in their plans to wipe out the entire town. That wasn't exactly ideal.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Gyld, encompassed by the frosty embrace of the North, felt a spark of ancestral might ignite within his spirit as the entity emerged, towering and resplendent in its icy grandeur. The frosted air, now a symphony of millennia and primordial power, seemed to hum with the whispers of time-forgotten eras, the unseen threads of his past weaving into his being. Gyld, though his body was different, felt the echoes of his former glory resonate within his core, a guardian of lands where the glade was eternal and the dawn of spirituality danced with the whispers of enlightenment. Each tremor from the entity before him seemed to strum the chords of his inherent might, a dance of ancient energies and timeless reverence.<br>
<br>
His bear form, entrenched in the revelations of the North, felt the winds whisper the long-lost symphonies of his erstwhile reign, the Guardian of the East, where his might was unrivaled and his wisdom untainted. But now, reborn, stripped of his ancient eminence, he was a wanderer on the path of re-discovery, his spirits buoyed by aspirations unfulfilled and visions unexplored. The air, a weave of frost and power, was a mirror to his soul, reflecting his unyielding quest to evolve, to ascend once again to the hierophant's throne, to guard and guide his kin through the tapestry of existence.<br>
<br>
His mind, a cascade of untold stories and undying zeal, reveled in the hierarchy of the hunt, the pursuit of the exotic, the consumption of the unknown. It was a dance, a rhythm of life that fueled his adventurous spirit, the zest of exploration, the unraveling of the unseen. His eyes, portals to his relentless soul, glimpsed into the visions of the White Bear, a journey into understanding, a convergence of natures, a synergy of the bear essence.<br>
<br>
His form, a silhouette against the icy radiance of the entity, stood as a beacon of tranquil might and restless curiosity. His voice, a concoction of ancient roars and harmonious tones, resonated in the primordial language, replying to the entity with a sense of reverence and challenge. “<b><span style="font-size: 22px">#I seek the dance of destinies, the convergence of spirits. I, once the Guardian of the Eternal Glade, seek understanding, a discourse of existences and aspirations. Your children, echoes of your icy might, are witnesses to our dialogue, a blend of the untold and the known. What wisdom do you hold, Ancient of the Ice, that can quench my thirst for evolution, that can guide my steps on the path to the hierophant's ascendancy? Our spirits, a weave of time and power, can converse in the rhythm of existence, revealing the unseen threads of our beings.#</span></b>”<br>
<br>
The air, now a ballet of frost and echoes, danced around them, the icy creatures encircling the entity in a symphonic ritual of ancient energies. Gyld, his essence a stream of untold might and undying zeal, awaited the entity’s response, his spirit dancing on the edges of revelation and renaissance.<br>

It's common knowledge that Fae possess incredible magical capabilities not seen in the other races, but the notion that a small handful of Fae could leave that much residual mana on the shores really puts it into perspective. The glow emanating from the amulet would soon change color again into a yellowish hue, residual mana from beasts as the Professor explained. Nothing too surprising there, there were plenty of beasts around these parts if Gyld's fight with the White Bear was anything to go by.<br>
<br>
In any case, Phoebe stowed away the amulet and took out her journal to write some notes about her findings. She didn't get far in writing before Gyld, in his new form that greatly resembled the White Bear from just a short while ago, drew her attention from out of the corner of her eye. That sight made the entire ice serpent and heart eating thing suddenly make sense in the mage's head. <br>
<br>
What came next wasn't as easy to wrap her head around. She tilted her head quizzically as Gyld started speaking to the ice lobsters in a strange language she'd never heard before. She was about to direct her attention back to her note taking when, surprisingly, it seemed that the lobsters responded to, if not understood, whatever Gyld had said. She'd never heard of any ordinary animal understanding spoken language beyond simple commands. Given their strange movements, it doesn't seem like whatever Gyld had said was simple at all.<br>
<br>
Indeed, when runic symbols appeared around the land, it became clear to Phoebe that whatever was happening was magical in nature and those lobsters some kind of catalysts for the event. As the ground shook beneath their feet, the pinkette steadied her stance and readied herself, if not for a fight then to run if things went south. What emerged from the ground she could only describe as an ice golem from fairy tales her parents used to tell her as a kid in her old life. Thankfully, it didn't seem immediately hostile to the party, so Phoebe allowed herself to relax a bit as it spoke to Gyld in what was most likely the same language he had used to speak to the lobsters. She made sure to keep up a respectful demeanor for the ice being. She may not understand what was going on or what that thing was, but she sure knows to not aggravate something that towered many feet above them. Her eyes went to the Professor, the expression on her face being that of confusion and a silent transmission of "what is that and what do we do?"</div>

Thankfully it didn't seem like anything else was being triggered when she came down.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 168, 133)">“I’ve been here for days! I don’t know what’s going on! There were all these horrible sounds of screaming and things falling over for days The sounds just wouldn’t stop!  Who are you?!, wheres my husband?!, what happened!? Are the townspeople okay?! There were white strands all over the house, I don't..know It all happened so fast. I don't even know how many days have gone by.”</span> <br>
<br>
She’d ask frantically, unable to keep herself upright on account of being hogtied the way she had been, it was quite a scene to behold truly. It was miraculous that she hadn’t just started screaming on the spot  after all it looked like she would have heard and seen, but she looked incredibly physically exhausted, all things considered. Strangely enough the woman didn’t say a word about children. <br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">Kane Blackburne</span><br>

Kane on the other hand looked guarded before he perked up at hearing Victorique speak up to him. Frankly he was a bit surprised to see that she hadn’t gotten far away from the house now to go and get help or something of the like, but no instead she was still in the danger zone as far as he could tell. That was pretty gutsy for someone who said they were a runner and not a fighter..he could respect that, no doubt she had been gathering information if his assessment of her was accurate for the time he’d gotten to know her.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“We took care of it, nobody got killed as far as I can tell, Robert called  for help, and I saw them coming.” </span>Kane replied, knowing better than to just start talking about how Lord Hoyles probably almost got killed earlier. It didn’t take a genius to tell this lady was probably related to the guy somehow, how he didn’t know, but one would assume wife based on the way she looked. He said that while he came over to the woman and took his executioner ax and carefully got down close to her before he used the blade to cut the binds on her body.<br>
<br>
The woman then immediately spread herself after she was cut free spreading out of the ground and just laid down breathing heavily, before she let out what sounded like a sigh of relief after Kane said help was coming.<span style="color: rgb(0, 168, 133)"> "So Robert made it."</span> She let out wearily.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“We should probably just stick tight and make sure she’s safe until they get here so we can fill them in on what happened.” </span>Kane replied. Afterall it was Lord Hoyles who still needed to call off the gathering, if he could get consciousness back that was anyway, probably wouldn’t be the best look if they were seen fleeing either, Kane figured to himself.<br>

The icy owlbear who had consumed one of the hearts of the great white bear of the North stood before the primordial ice guardian. He had come so far in his dance to acquire more knowledge and power to become an even better guardian himself of his own domain. To get an audience with such a being was a great feet in its own right, not many man or beast could say they even had laid their eyes on a being so old and enormous. There was a certain tranquility which could be felt to those all around for a moment even the animals nearby had become calm as if they had truly felt inner peace beyond their own constant dance of survival of the fittest in nature. The lobsters and crabs didn’t move from their position instead standing still and looking at the Sire of the North. There wasn’t a sound around besides the wind blowing on the white expanse, dust moving, not even the pounding of mechs could be heard in the distance, this was truly a sight to behold.<br>
<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">Sire of the North<br>

Gyld spoke the ancient tongue to the Sire of the North, who appeared receptive to it, looking down at Gyld, in an even somewhat larger size class than him at the moment. Instead the Sire of the North was witness to two bears before them. The essence of one of his children and this guardian from far away intertwined into one harmonious force of tranquility.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">“#You are but two parts you are a Guardian of the Eternal  Glade, and my child has deemed you worthy of becoming a guardian of the North as well, I can sense both of you, here before me.#”<br>
<br>
“#You have helped liberate our kind, we, beings of nature, from man, who has taken away from us what is ours, and has tried to control what they do not understand.#”<br>
<br>
“#I can tell that you Gyld, you will go far, and make your aspirations true. Wisdom I can share with you, Wisdom of a domain you had not experienced until today, even far beyond my child.#”<br>
<br>
“#Fight you however, I shall not.#”</span> Suddenly, one of the Sire of the North’s icy spikes at the edge of it’s arm broke off into a sizable piece of it, before another one regenerated in it’s place.<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">“#Take this Gyld, Guardian of the Eternal Glade and the Northern Expanse, may it serve you well. You will know when the time is right to make the use of it most suitable for your needs.#”</span><br>
<br>
The mystic ancient  ice piece was levitated over to Gyld as if it was carried by the wind, and was set down before him, it was large enough to be used like a sizable two handed bludgeoning tool  in his standard form.<br>
<br>
Not long after that the Sire of the North began to glow a faint blue, as did Gyld, and suddenly the knowledge which he received from the Great Bear of the North became much more refined, and complete with a much more advanced understanding as if he had lived the life of the Great Bear of the North in a more direct way, he now received the perspective of the parent of the Great Bear of the North.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">“#If you wish to reach me again, you may use that part of me which I have bestowed upon you to do so.May it aid you in your dance forward.#”</span><br>

The good professor had been very much on task assisting Phoebe. He was getting ready to help her with the note taking  until suddenly Gyld started interacting with the lobsters the way he had, Professor Neco’s jaw visibly dropped open in shock momentarily, as his eyes widened at what he was seeing..as he looked over when Phoebe looked over since he was curious to see what she had been looking at. He paused for a moment before he saw the runes appear on the earth and the shaking took place.<br>
<br>
The professor was quick to get on one knee at seeing this presumably out of respect facing the direction of what was transpiring, as he witnessed the earth break and the large icy figure began to make their way into view.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Phoebe..” </span>he said, turning to her excitedly,<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)"> “This..this is just my like vision..I’ve seen this entity before..in my visions! They’re here now..truly..this..this figure is surely legendary, I’ve only heard of them through ancient stories of spoken tradition in this area.. I can’t believe that we’re both witness to this natural phenomenon..and it’s speaking this language..I must get footage of this interaction for documentation  immediately!” </span><br>
<br>
Professor Neco exclaimed excitedly as his eye began to glow the greenish color yet again somehow presumably magically recording what was transpiring in this moment.<br>
<br>
He’d also gesture for her to get down as well,<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)"> “We shouldn’t have anything to fear, If this is what I believe it to be this being is a protector of the nature here, and  those who respect the land, you and I have not transgressed against nature, we came here to help and your field research was peaceful in nature, so as long as we do not show aggression I believe we should be okay.”</span> He reaffirmed.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“It sure would be easier if we could just ask a being like that as a primary source  about what you’re exploring..but I’m afraid I’ve never heard that language spoken in my life..”</span> The professor said, indeed once again proving hhe was truly a man of science even now in the face of a great legendary creature the reason they had come there originally was on his mind.<br>

Oh boy. As expected, the woman started talking like her life depended on it. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“For days?”</b></span> She asked aloud, wondering how the woman had the energy to speak this much if she hadn't eaten or drank in days. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Your husband is fine. The townsfolk will soon be fine.”</b></span> She confirmed what Kane had already told the woman.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Although it'd help us if you told us what exactly happened here.

<br>
For a moment she hesitated, but her curiosity was stronger than her empathy, so she asked the most prying question straight and without holding back. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Most of all, however, I'd like to know what's up with your daughters. Or why you didn't even ask about them. Do you know where they are or what was happening in their rooms?”</b></span> As she stated the latter, she'd use [Ultimate Detective] on the woman's reply, as she was highly suspicious of her trying to cover-up or lie about being concerned. <br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Gyld felt a momentous force pulling and tugging at the very fabric of his existence. The memories, experiences, and emotions of the Great Bear of the North intertwined and merged with his own, creating a tapestry of understanding that spanned epochs. His vision was flooded with icy landscapes, the calls of ancient tribes, and the very dance of life and death on the frigid expanse of the North.<br>
<br>
As the Sire's memories filled Gyld's consciousness, he experienced lifetimes of guardianship, fierce battles to protect the sacred grounds of the North, and the profound connection between the spiritual realm and the natural world. Visions of ancient ceremonies, the reverence of tribes, and the dance of the seasons played out in his mind's eye. The culmination of these experiences formed a deep bond between Gyld and the Sire, forging a pact of mutual respect and understanding.<br>
<br>
The icy shard presented to Gyld was not just a physical gift but a symbol of their newfound connection, a beacon that would guide him in his journey forward. It held within it the essence of the North, a reservoir of wisdom and strength that would serve Gyld in times of need. As he touched the shard, a rush of energy surged through him, further solidifying the bond between them.<br>
<br>
With a nod of appreciation, Gyld reverently took the shard, feeling its cool weight in his grasp. The pulsing energy within it harmonized with the rhythm of his heart, reminding him of the responsibility and honor he now held as a guardian of both the Eternal Glade and the North. Perhaps Northern Eternal Glade or Eternal Northern Glade? A three word domain would be quite powerful if more specialized. Gyld heaved as he ruminated. <br>
<br>
Gyld padded over to the pair watching and heaved again. A portion of his youthful exuberance momentarily washed away by the lifetimes in the shard making him reflect on his own past life, millions of years spent watching over the Core Glade Ever Eternal, which he'd felt like he could once more attain only to find this lifetime twisting in a different direction. A new path.</div>

Even Kane raised a brow when Victorique repeated what the woman had said about it being days. <br>
---<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)"><b>Sirena Hoyles</b></span><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/screenshot-2023-09-15-at-11-36-21-pm-1-1-png.1118983/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1056/1056113-d951fc54c95bfa6907aa15cdac7563a0.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Screenshot 2023-09-15 at 11.36.21 PM-1-1.png" title="Screenshot 2023-09-15 at 11.36.21 PM-1-1.png" width="100" height="141" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
<br>
Whilst the woman was laying on the ground looking exhausted, she let out another audible sigh of relief when she heard Victorique say that her husband was fine and that the townsfolk would be okay too.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“What do you mean by ritual?” </span>She asked back, sounding confused enough, before she eventually sat herself upright. The woman’s eyes narrowed momentarily. <br>
<br>
As Victorique asked the latter and most important question, before she had answered the first she spoke of later three, <span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“Why would I ask about them, they’ve been off studying at the capital with private tutors long before what happened here happened, are you saying there’s a possibility they’re in danger? And what do you mean what happened in their rooms?! All I know is that some figures wearing gray hoods barged their way into my home and overpowered my husband and myself! Before I knew it they tied me in whatever that was and threw me where you found me!  There were all these horrible sounds of things breaking, and terrible screams in languages I couldn’t recognize. Anything beyond that I don’t know a thing about!” </span>She exclaimed.<br>
<br>
Victorique’s ability tipped her off to several things, her appraisal revealed that the woman was in fact Lord Hoyles’ wife. Sirena Hoyles. The insight portion of her ability set off some red flags however, the way Sirena Hoyles responded, the alarm almost seemed artificial, like she was playing it up to garner additional sympathy to her plight. The way she looked to the side every now and again in the room..to one particular corner. If one looked there they’d see that there was an envelope sitting on a desk which was near to where she had been evidently trapped in, the way she looked almost suggested she was perhaps a bit nervous before she recomposed herself and made occasional eye contact with Victorique. There was also the fact that given how wealthy the Hoyles were, there was an argument to be made as to why they didn't just hire tutors to come out to them to give their daughters private instruct.<br>
<br>
 However when Sirena’s eyes fell on Kane it looked like there was a hint of disdain in her face which she didn’t verbally express. Perhaps it was similar to way that some of the Taltons had looked his way before, but from what Victorique could realistically gather, It was likely Sirena saw Kane as beneath her in some form. <br>
<br>
Kane not possessing the same abilities as Victorique shrugged a bit and simply said, <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Seems reasonable enough to me,  I mean she was tied up here, she wasn’t sure how long, being in there in the dark all alone, sounds like we might have been mistaken about the daughters situation, cause I can tell you right now Victorique the capital is really far away from this place.” <br>
<br>
“Maybe we’re dealing with something which is capable of using illusion magic, at least I heard it was possible, I wouldn’t exactly call myself an expert on the stuff though.”</span> He continued.<br>
<br>
Sirena seemed a bit too eager to agree with Kane as she spoke up, <span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“That must be it, I mean, he’s right you know! I haven’t gotten a faintest  clue how long I’ve been tied up here, and I find it hard to believe you would have seen my daughters around here  like this  or otherwise unescorted anyway!"</span><br>
<br>
<br>
After some time while this was going on the sound of footsteps outside could be heard on the lower floor, it looked like help was finally near arrival. <br>

The knowledge seamlessly intertwined while it provided its more nuanced picture of the situation. It became apparent as Gyld absorbed the information that in a way the Sire of the North and the Great Bear of the North were like interconnected beings. Like a parent and child who shared memories and experiences. Or more accurately it was as if the bear had been created from a piece of the Sire of the North. This was in part why by sharing these memories Gyld gained the much more complete picture which he could see of this most unforgiving land.<br>
<br>
It became more evident that the Sire of the North had created more children beyond the great bear who were of equal or greater strength through many years, shards and fragments of great magical energy which eventually became life. While not a divine being, the Sire of the North appeared to have a deep connection with a realm which was of a higher plain than Gyld, Phoebe or Professor Neco had experienced in quite this way before.<br>
After Gyld nodded and accepted the gift, The Sire spoke once more.<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)"><b>Sire of The North</b></span><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/tumblr_o26dqyc43z1r426wco1_1280-1-jpg.1118984/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1056/1056114-a00764236064c25fa17aa219ed1be43e.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="tumblr_o26dqyc43z1r426wco1_1280-1.jpg" title="tumblr_o26dqyc43z1r426wco1_1280-1.jpg" width="100" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">“#Go forth Gyld, and continue to do this world well so that future generations are protected and may prosper.#”  </span><br>
<br>
After Gyld left  to return to the pair suddenly the bluish runes returned and the ice broke apart yet again as the lobsters circled up and The Sire of the North began to descend back into the ground from which they came, and the whole area closed up as if nothing had happened. Then the lobsters from before scurried off.<br>

<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Well I’ll say, I was not expecting something quite so amazing to transpire here today, the bear was one thing, but this was something else entirely beyond my wildest expectations.”<br>
<br>
“And you could understand the language which was being spoken and speak it back..what  a phenomena, Gyld, It’s not a language I’ve ever heard before, and I presume you hadn’t heard it until now either. I’ve only heard of that being in legend before, what you both witnessed here today was vital indeed.”<br>
<br>
“Under different circumstances I would be most intrigued to analyze that piece of ice which you received since it’s such a rarity , but given it’s an important gift I couldn’t possibly ask that of you, and I wouldn’t want to disrespect the Sire of the North.”<br>
<br>
“What today has informed me of is that my visions are only becoming more profound as they  lead me to greater and greater things..I’m most fortunate to have experienced so much in this early of a life..”</span><br>
<br>
Professor Neco seemed to pause just to take it all in, before he turned to Phoebe, <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Very well then one in a lifetime event or not, we should finish taking notes, and given we will have all met our objectives being out here, we should probably head back before it gets too dark, the night time isn’t as forgiving around these parts. Of course I suspect I should formally process the data I’ve gathered, and then you can use my lab to look at other relevant findings back at my lab to see if a pattern or some correlation can be found between the data sets you just collected and what I have available Phoebe.”</span><br>
<br>
Once the group had finished up what they needed too presumably, Professor Neco was ready to lead them back toward civilization over the white expanse.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Since you’ve come all this way, you should consider enjoying yourself some, there are interesting things to see back in town and in the surrounding areas, if you don’t need to return immediately.” </span>The good Professor said while looking toward Gyld. <br>

<span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)">Languages: Common | [Terran]</span></b></span></span></b>​</div><hr>Excitement was certainly not the reaction Phoebe was expecting from the Professor, but at the very least that demeanor in combination with all that protector of nature explanation conveyed that they weren't in any immediate danger. Still, even if this occurrence wasn't immediately related to her research, she'd follow the gesture from the Professor to write some notes on the encounter down. Perhaps it might connect to the mana washing on the shores somehow? <br>
<br>
Phoebe opened her journal and began to write. <br>
<br>
<i>[ Shortly after I'd taken measurements of the mana washing up on the beaches under the guidance of Professor Neco, our companion, Gyld, seemed to trigger some sort of phenomenon. He'd conversed with a few ice lobsters in an unfamiliar language very unlike the more commonly spoken languages of this world. Whatever he said, it had caused the lobsters to perform some kind of ritual movement with themselves seemingly as the catalysts.<br>
<br>
The ritual seemed to be of the summoning kind of sort, from the appearance of what I could only describe as a very large ice golem, a protector of nature around this area. Gyld now seems to be having a conversation with this protector... and now it seems it has given him a gift of sorts in the form of a shard from its own body? Does this have something to do with the White Bear ritual fight I wonder? ]</i><br>
<br>
She stopped her scribing as Gyld returned to where she and the Professor were standing. Her eyes looked over the shard he was gifted as the Professor spoke. It was indeed a truly unexpected turn of events. She was still trying to process everything that had occurred in the past short while when the Professor faced and spoke to her, bringing her back to reality. <b><span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)">"Ah, yes of course. I'll just be a few minutes." </span></b><br>
<br>
Phoebe began writing once more in her journal just below the section that the Professor had gestured for her to write down when Gyld was conversing with this "Sire of the North," being sure to take record of the colors and luminosity the amulet had glowed during the sampling procedure. After getting her observations down, Phoebe quickly jotted down some theories, notes, and follow up questions.<br>
<br>
<i>[ Possible residue from Fae adventurers on the other continent? Cross-reference of historical records on adventurers in this area needed. ] <br>
<br>
[ How recent was this? Rate of decay for residual mana? Difference between rates of decay for mana types? Need texts on mana research. ]</i><br>
<br>
She flipped her journal shut, returning it to her bag along with her quill, pulling her wand out of her bag once more.  <span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)"><b>"Thanks for waiting, I'm ready to head back when you two are."</b></span> Her eyes drifted towards Gyld and the ice shard he had received from the Sire of the North. <span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)"><b>"By the way... if you don't mind me asking Gyld, what did you say back there? To the Sire of the North and those... lobsters?"</b></span></div>

<br>
The woman's testimony was suspicious in many ways. For example, the fact that she didn't ask for water after (presumably) having been locked away in a closet without something to drink for days. Although she didn't like to do what she was about to do, she figured it was the easiest way to confirm whether or not she was being lied to or not. If this woman had truly been in there for days (rather than just exaggerating or unjustly believing it), there would definitely be certain types of unpleasant odours originating from her by now. Ones that Heightened Sense [Smell] B would easily pick up on and that a combination of Perception C and Investigation B should be able to identify with ease. Fearing for the worst, she took a deeper than normal breath and prepared to hold back this day's meals just in case.<br>
<br>
There were more odd things going on, however, like the woman denying knowing about any type of ritual. However, when she mentioned her daughters studying at the capital, she clicked her tongue. Were there imposters at play, in that case, rather than them being taken over? That'd certainly be a lot better than the two girls having been taken over and one of them, possibly both, being dead by now. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“When was the last time you heart from them? If you're certain they are still in the capital, we might've been dealing with imposters of them. You'd best not hold information back on me though, as anything you know might be crucial to their well-being.”</b></span> She didn't wonder about why they wouldn't hire tutors, being too unfamiliar with the workings of Kingdom nobles and assuming that sending them off to a prestigious school was the standard. Even so, she figured she'd add the warning, feeling like this woman was clearly hiding things. Not like she didn't do the same, figuring that now wasn't the time to mention the murder of a girl that might or might not be one of her daughters.<br>
<br>
As for what happened in their rooms, she sighed. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“The usual cult-like stuff. Disturbing drawings and symbols in foreign languages and the likes. Although they might be from the invaders you just described.”</b></span><br>
<br>
After replying that, she headed off to pick up and read the envelop that Sirena Hoyles had been eyeing. It was clear that this (likely to be) drama queen thought it of some importance, yet didn't mention it. All the more reason to read it. To that extend, the woman's eagerness to to agree with Kane on the matter of her daughters was only more important. It sounded like she was eager to deny it. Was she in denial or was she trying to cover something up? Either of those were plausible options. Perhaps the letter she was about to read would tell her more.</div>

From what the  professor  could make out, he seemed pleased based on the expression on his face; to see that Phoebe had been scribing for the major events which had been taking place in addition to the notes about her research project. He then gave her a friendly understanding nod as she said it’d be a few minutes,<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Of course today..has been truly a spectacle.”</span> The professor commented.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Not a problem, and very well then, Implore that you keep the amulets  I gave you both at the beginning of the trip close to you, Gyld I would have said the same..but given your transformation it appears to be much less necessary now.” </span>He replied<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“As it gets later it’ll only start to get colder, and they’ll help regulate your body temperature and keep you warm as we head back. I believe if we keep a good pace we should be fine before it starts to get much riskier.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Truthfully I  am also curious, Gyld, what exactly transpired there? It was quite a  natural phenomenon to be audience too , and I would be quite curious to know what happened from your perspective at that point, it would be a valuable primary source for our records.”<br>
<br>
“I am also very curious about that..object you received.” </span><br>
---<br>
Presumably at that point, when everyone was ready to go, Professor Neco would start walking back toward the settlement they had come from on the white expanse. He knew just where to go as to avoid their chance of more monster encounters. In addition Gyld would find that any of the lesser beasts and monsters which were native to the realm were not nearly as likely to attack the group thanks to the title and everything else he had received. <br>
<br>
Eventually as the group continued they’d see yet another Mech from the Kingdom lumbering in the distance, this time it looked like it was dragging the body of what could only be described as a very large icy looking worm, presumably the same way they were going. Despite the mech turning to them at one point, the pilot didn’t say anything to them but continued onward.<br>
<br>
The elevation shifted every now and again as they traveled. <br>
Eventually Professor Neco spoke up,<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“I believe I have some additional  resources which will be of much help after what we’ve seen today Phoebe, I’ll make sure to get them to you when we get back to my place.” </span><br>
<br>
After a significant amount of time, the group eventually could see the walls of Evergate in the distance. As well as the  Mech guards from before to which they passed easily enough once again. The guards would react differently depending on the form Gyld took at that point, a bit surprised if he maintained his new form. The streets themselves looked much emptier than when they left, reflecting how many people had congregated for the execution or were currently at home or place of business for what was supposed to come that day.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">Professor Neco’s Lab<br>

The trio then found themselves moving through Evergate the way they had came for the arguably successful trip, until Professor Neco’s Lab was in view, and he headed to the door offering to let the pair through first, the space looking unchanged since they last visited.<br>

Perhaps surprisingly or not, Victorique’s attempt to pick up any odor with her enhanced sense just put great emphasis on the probably extremely expensive floral perfume that Sirena had been wearing. Given the degree of her sensory skills, if she really had been there for days struggling, her body odor was not reflecting that since it would have surely been evident even with the perfume given how perceptive Victorique was.<br>
<br>
Indeed while it wouldn’t have been unheard of to send their daughters to a prestigious  school, given how far away they were from the capital, and  the fact the capital had one of the MOST prestigious and expensive schools available in all of the Kingdom, and while they were well off as a family, they weren’t exactly the highest in the pecking order nor were they  As well off as others like the Taltons,  it might have raised a question to one who was more familiar with the area   as to how they acquire enough funds and prestige to get their daughters into  being educated at the capital rather than being tutored or being sent to a still good school that was more within the range which would have been expected for their class, but nevertheless Victorique was not as familiar with the Kingdom of Rotia so this information was not coming to mind.<br>

<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“I got a letter from them a couple weeks ago or so..If I remember correctly.” Sirena responded, “It sounded like they were doing well, if you need documentation  of their enrollment I can assure you I can provide it..” </span>She continued, speaking a bit more calmly, perhaps more than one might expect given how upset she had been just earlier.<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“R-really?! Who would do such a thing..It must have been whoever broke in!” </span>She replied, sounding alarmed by this news, as if it was the first time she was hearing it.<br>
<br>
When Victorique took the letter however the demeanor of the woman shifted completely as it became incredibly indignant quickly even starting to meld into disdain toward the end, <span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“Now wait just a minute you, I could tolerate the executioner since you've helped me so far..but now you’re rummaging through  belongings which are not yours! Give that here!” </span>She exclaimed sternly, attempting to right herself up. It seemed that whatever the contents were it was something that she perhaps didn’t want to propagated. However Kane moved himself between Victorique and her for the time being.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Listen lady, we're here looking for evidence, for all you know those intruders left evidence around here.”</span><br>
<br>
<br>
Upon opening the letter it was in a dainty, fancy, Terran text, the seal on it looked rather ornate  and like it had been shaped as a heart.<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)"><br>
<i>To my dearest Alfy, </i></span><br>
<i><span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">I yearn for when this will all be over. I need you in my life more than ever. To think that I’ll finally rid myself of this burden. When the deed is done I’ll meet you over at the statue so that we can finally be together forever. May you have Varek’s blessing for the days to come.</span></i><br>
<br>
As Victorique was reading that it became apparent from the sounds that help had finally arrived, Kane went to the door and exclaimed, <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Over here! We found the Lord’s wife tied up, Lord Hoyles and his nephew are up in Lord Hoyle’s Office currently, you should get the healer over there as soon as possible.” </span>While he assumed Robert would have said that already in the message he just wanted to reiterate the emergency, and even so Robert didn’t know about what Victorique had discovered.<br>
<br>
Eventually some  familiar looking spear wielding guards made their way over to the door. At that point  Kane stepped aside.  While he had been looking out the door he saw what could only be described as some more ornate looking Valcorism faith healer make their way toward the office.<br>

<br>
All she could smell was perfume. No scent of body odour or 'waste' on the woman. It annoyed her. This woman was either confused or lying. Which was it? She did recall having to be a bit careful around nobles as to not get her head on the chopping block, so perhaps she shouldn't immediately start accusing her? Ugh. How annoying. Perhaps she could bring it a bit more sensitively? <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“If you'd been in there for days, your clothes would be soiled and I'd smell it. You'd also be begging for water. I don't know if you'd been under an illusion or if you're straight up lying, but try to stick to the truth or you'll only make this worse for everyone involved.”</b></span> Ah great... that wasn't really sensitive at all, was it? Well, in a worst case, she could run and flee the country.<br>
<br>
The woman sounded a bit more sincere about her girls being enrolled and about being confused by the cult-like sights. How odd. That said, when the woman demanded to be given the letter, Victorique could only do one thing. Which was to take the letter and slowly open it in front of her. Reading the lines of it right then and there. She wasn't sure why, but that felt <i>way better</i> than it should. Was it the thrill of angering nobles that could kill her, the fact she might finally have a clue, or just some suicidal madness? She didn't even know it herself.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Tssk.”</b></span> She clicked her tongue. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“You got any clue who or what Varek is, Kane? Some deity or something here?”</b></span> She asked. <br>
<br>
After, she looked at the woman again. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Please don't tell me that all of this happened because you were getting yourself charmed by some monster or criminal.”</b></span> She sighed, as she was fearing the worst. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Confess what's been going on and stop holding things back now, and I promise it'll be a lot better for everyone involved.”</b></span> She added, hoping the woman could be brought to her senses with some [Ultimate Argument A] backing her words. <br>
<br>
Ultimate Argument – Appraisal A, Heightened Senses [Hearing/Sight/Smell/Taste/Balance] B, Insight D, Perception C, Persuasion B, Law D, Energised B – Character takes in any information they can from someone and uses it when carefully picking their tone of voice and mannerisms to convey their argument in the most persuasive manner, tailored to whatever might suit the person they're trying to convince. - Grade A – 5 Post Cooldown.<br>
<br>
When they were asked to explain, she just pointed to the noblewoman. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“We found her tied up in a closet and lord Hoyle's under some monster's influence in his office. More of them might be infiltrating town as we speak and readying themselves to cause a massacre during the planned executions.”</b></span> She spoke. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“It's why this noblewoman, should she care in the slightest about preventing such a horrible event, would be best to start explaining to us the rest of what happened.”</b></span> Was the latter a threat or a fact? Both. It's why she yet again brought it with [Ultimate Argument] to back her up. Not only was she running out of patience, she also wondered if she wasn't running out of time.</div>

			From what the professor could make out, he seemed pleased based on the expression on his face; to see that Phoebe had been scribing for the major events which had been taking place in addition to the notes about her research project. He then gave her a friendly understanding nod as she said it’d be a few minutes,<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Of course today..has been truly a spectacle.”</span> The professor commented.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Not a problem, and very well then, Implore that you keep the amulets I gave you both at the beginning of the trip close to you, Gyld I would have said the same..but given your transformation it appears to be much less necessary now.” </span>He replied<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“As it gets later it’ll only start to get colder, and they’ll help regulate your body temperature and keep you warm as we head back. I believe if we keep a good pace we should be fine before it starts to get much riskier.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Truthfully I am also curious, Gyld, what exactly transpired there? It was quite a natural phenomenon to be audience too , and I would be quite curious to know what happened from your perspective at that point, it would be a valuable primary source for our records.”<br>
<br>
“I am also very curious about that..object you received.” </span>

Gyld, the icy owlbear, exhaled deeply, steam rising from his nostrils. His golden owl eyes now twinkled with flecks of mischievous white like a shaken snow globes, as he tried to process all that had transpired. "Ah, Professor, every day is a gamble, and today," he glanced at the mystic shard, its icy blue sheen reflecting the fading daylight, "I think I hit the jackpot."<br>
<br>
Rashly, he scooped up the shard, holding it aloft for the Professor to see. The thrill of the adventure had charged him, and he couldn't resist showing off just a bit. "This? This is a piece of history, of legacy," he said, the weight of the Sire of the North's words still heavy on his mind, but his voice playful, "And probably the biggest chip to add to my gamble."<br>
<br>
He grinned, running a claw gently over the shard, as if remembering the deep resonance he had felt with the ancient Sire. "When I stood before the Sire, it was like staring into the vast history of the North, a tapestry of wisdom and ancient guardianship. As for the specifics of our little chat, let's just say, I've gained a clearer perspective. The North and I... we're intertwined now, in ways I'm only beginning to grasp."<br>
<br>
With a smirk, he added, "Here take a look for yourself," he tossed the shard over to the Professor. "If you were a threat the Sire would have devoured your soul anyway." Gyld watched the professor as he tossed over the shard, curious about the Professor's actions and eager to continue to show off.<br>
<br>
"As for the amulet, appreciate the sentiment, but I reckon with my new upgrades, cold's got nothing on me." He paused to flex his new Title <b>[Blizzardy Bear's Blessing]</b>. "Unless there's fell intent behind the cold, it won't bother me nor will the minor beasts and monsters of the White." Twisting his head in owlish thought, he added, "Still, if you think it's gonna get chillier, let's find a little waif and recruit a believer in me and the North. It's always nice to add to one's crew? I bet there's someone out there shivering in their boots."<br>

			Presumably at that point, when everyone was ready to go, Professor Neco would start walking back toward the settlement they had come from on the white expanse. He knew just where to go as to avoid their chance of more monster encounters. In addition Gyld would find that any of the lesser beasts and monsters which were native to the realm were not nearly as likely to attack the group thanks to the title and everything else he had received.<br>
<br>
Eventually as the group continued they’d see yet another Mech from the Kingdom lumbering in the distance, this time it looked like it was dragging the body of what could only be described as a very large icy looking worm, presumably the same way they were going. Despite the mech turning to them at one point, the pilot didn’t say anything to them but continued onward.

Gyld loped over to sniff the worm. "I'm with the professor over there," Gyld jerked his head toward the professor, "If you don't mind I'd love to help! I'm a guardian of a portion of the North and hear to help dispose of anything that might further..." He racked his brains trying hard to remember what Phoebe and the Professor had been talking about, "...Ah magical radiation...it's....uh......." his head twisted around like an owl to regard the Professor, "Causing like bad magical stuff to happen. Here, just drop it here..."<br>

			<div class="bbCodeBlock-content">Gyld's proud chest puffed up even further at the professor's words of endorsement. "See? Told ya. Now, let's get this thing handled."<br>
<br>
After the massive mech bent down, releasing the icy worm's carcass, which landed with a thud on the snowy expanse. As Gyld approached the gigantic icy worm, he took a moment to connect with his Domain of the Northern Eternal Forest. The power he felt from the domain coursed through him, making his body bristle with energy. This connection amplified his abilities manifold, allowing him to adapt to the situation. He'd just recently figured or remembered how to layer multiple abilities on top of each other, thus keeping his <b>[North and Glade Bear Form] </b>he layered on another more powerful magical domain ability <b>[Hunger of the North]. </b><br>
<br>
Suddenly, he began his transformation. Those watching saw his mouth start to expand, growing much larger than should be possible. His jaws unhinged, reminiscent of a snake devouring its prey whole. Not only that, but a shimmering portal, akin to a pocket dimension, formed just within the entrance of his maw, ready to store the massive creature.<br>
<br>
Gyld then lunged at the icy worm, his gaping maw enveloping the creature steadily. It was an astonishing and slightly unnerving sight, watching the guardian consume something the [Large] Bear so big and long, but it was clear that Gyld was drawing from a power that few could comprehend. Now with the assistance of the pocket dimension in his stomach, Gyld attempted to consume the entire worm without gaining any noticeable mass. Every inch of the worm hopefully disappearing within Gyld's maw, and as soon as the last of it was inside, Gyld's mouth returned to its usual size, leaving no trace of the massive creature he had just consumed.<br>
<br>
Gyld, licking his lips, replied with a chuckle, "Well, always good to have a little extra room for a snack. And with this, the magical radiation from the worm won't be a concern. It'll be safely contained and processed within me."</div>

Eventually Professor Neco spoke up,<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“I believe I have some additional resources which will be of much help after what we’ve seen today Phoebe, I’ll make sure to get them to you when we get back to my place.” </span><br>
<br>
After a significant amount of time, the group eventually could see the walls of Evergate in the distance. As well as the Mech guards from before to which they passed easily enough once again. The guards would react differently depending on the form Gyld took at that point, a bit surprised if he maintained his new form. The streets themselves looked much emptier than when they left, reflecting how many people had congregated for the execution or were currently at home or place of business for what was supposed to come that day.

As the distant spires of Evergate came into view, the Gyld perked up. The massive walls that protected the city loomed ahead, acting as a beacon to guide them home? Gyld, reflecting on his newfound insights and strength, debated the form he should take upon their return. Curiosity winning out, he opted to maintain his newly acquired form, wanting to gauge the reactions of the city folk and the guards.<br>
<br>
The mech guards, stationed at regular intervals along the city walls, looked up as the group approached. Their initial nonchalance transformed into visible surprise and caution as they took in Gyld's imposing new form. Their gazes lingered on him, exchanging wary glances amongst themselves.<br>
<br>
"Ooh," Gyld grunted forgetting he was still in his large form and he dismissed the ability to transform back into his medium sized owlbear form. "Is that better?"<br>
<br>
Once inside the city, the streets of Evergate felt eerily calm. The normally bustling avenues were quieter, the vendors fewer, and the general populace seemed to have retreated to their homes or places of business. The events of the day, from the looming execution to the unexpected encounters in the icy expanse, weighed heavily on the group. The city's stillness only served as a stark reminder of the events that had transpired and what lay ahead.<br>
<br>
Gyld, ever the thrill-seeker, felt the adrenaline of the upcoming challenges. "Whatever comes next, we're ready for it. Evergate won't know what hit it!"<br>
<br>

Sirena Hoyles upon hearing Victorique’s commentary made a sound like she had just been punched in the gut. Before it shifted into indignance, <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“Why, I’ve never heard of a victim, A lady like myself  no less having so many questions to my answers!! How should I know how long I”ve been here? My home was invaded and I was bound and thrown in there for who knows how long and my poor poor husband was almost killed! Have you no concern?!”</span> She let out a huff apparently offended by how straight forward Victorique was despite her bringing up good points. Due to Victorque’s high grade skills she could tell that some of this reaction was being intentionally drama’d up.<br>
<br>
Her gaze shifted into venomous daggers not long after Victorique defied her previous words, if one was observant they’d see that she was clenching her right fist quite a bit now, like she was holding back some kind of unsavory outburst which would not be pleasant for anyone to hear. Victorique was privy to this thanks to her perception and insight. <br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">Kane Blackburne</span><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/crop-1-1-1-1-jpg.1121571/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1058/1058701-dd24894ecc7f82a7319ffe3d22cc8746.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="crop-1-1-1-1.jpg" title="crop-1-1-1-1.jpg" width="100" height="204" loading="lazy"></a></b>​</div><br>
Kane looked a bit surprised when Victorique asked him who Varek was, like he hadn’t been expecting her to address him<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Varek? Uh yeah, he’s a pretty well known Valcori, or as you’d say god in the Valcorism faith, which is the main faith of  the Kingdom of Rotia. He’s the Tactician god, one of wisdom, strategy, and cunning, someone you might pray to if you need to overcome great adversity and you’re in a leadership position, To be fair I really only know the basics, if you want to learn more you’d be better off speaking to a religious figure, I can’t say I was too involved growing up.”  </span>He said the last line with a bit of a semi smirk.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“One would wonder why..” </span>Sirena said with clenched teeth  in response to Kane’s latter line presumably.<br>
<br>
The body language and glare that Sirena was holding onto wasn’t fading away as she stood herself up. Unfortunately for her, Vicorique’s Ultimate Argument A was quite potent, a look of conflict falling upon the woman’s face now, like she wanted to speak but was trying desperately to stop herself from doing so.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Before she could properly get words to Victorique that was at the point the guard came in and listened to what she had to say on the matter of what happened. Kane gave a nod of affirmation to what Victorique had to say.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“She’d be right by my accounts with all due respect that something seriously suspicious is going on and the evidence Victorique has gathered really shows a picture that it isn’t looking great  for this village right now, less some serious actions are taken quickly.” </span>Kane said, backing up Victorique’s words and stressing the urgency to the guard. <br>
<br>
<br>
Sirena’s face then shifted to one of what appeared to be genuine surprise when Victorique mentioned the bit about the massacre. <span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“NO YOU’RE LYING!” </span>She’d exclaim a tone of righteous anger flaring up in her voice. <span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“Alfy..wouldn't do that! I don’t believe you. The plan wasn’t anything like that! Why would he do something..!”  </span>It sounded like from what Victorique could read that letter was in fact revealing insight into there being some plan involving her and this ‘alfy” as well as her words very well confirming it.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“You wouldn’t understand! We had to..stop that rat…from hurting him! This was the only way!, and it was right and just self defense!” </span><br>
<br>
Kane wasn’t expecting this sudden outburst and looked a bit surprised himself but his eyes widened a bit like he had a revelation.<br>
<br>
 <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Hey..Victorique didn’t</span><span style="color: rgb(84, 172, 210)"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/threads/isekai-hell-red-snow.528401/post-11693928" class="link link--internal" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rpnation.com%2Fthreads%2Fisekai-hell-red-snow.528401%2Fpost-11693928&amp;hash=4d1e7b7978b2ffb3f87c72c573ce8332"> Eliza..call Affonso Alfy at one point?” </a></span> He asked seemingly to verify if his memory had been correct.<br>
<br>
Upon hearing this Sirena looked to Kane, <span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“Why you... Why did you have to bring filthy people like him here!”</span> She lashed out again.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">Evergate Guard</span></b><br>

<br>
The guard then looked to Sirena Hoyles before continuing, <span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">“Lady Hoyles, she’s right you best be very careful what you say next, as I..I never thought I'd be saying this but ..It will be a determining factor in whether or not I”ll have to  place you under arrest you.” </span>He said with a solemn tone. It became apparent there were a few more guards outside the door now who were dressed similarly also wielding spears. <br>
<br>
Sirena was looking increasingly cornered now. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“Fine I’ll speak but it’s because you’ll have to see things my way! Affonso Talton and I have….I mean we’ve been..t-that’s besides the point!” </span>She said her face a bit red now, <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“The main point is that I have evidence that Adriano was plotting against my Alfy! Affonso is the next in line for succession and he informed me he found that his brother was plotting to take his life! He told me that working with that monster was essential to ensure not only his safety but our future! He had nothing to do with those girls who were harmed! That was Adriano acting out like the brute he is! He told me as much himself! ” </span>Now there was quite a bit of information being dropped. <br>
<br>
The guard shook his head sadly, <span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">“Lady Hoyles..” </span>with a tone of deep disappointment.<br>

<br>
HIs eyes were one of intrigue as he looked over it carefully. <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“You don’t say, it’s been a very eventful day If I were you I’d continue to take advantage of this luck which seems to have been bestowed upon you.”</span> <br>
<br>
He said chuckling a bit,  <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"Truly a day unlike any other I’ve seen at that..so many things to be thankful for, my visions came into fruition just as I believed they would and you’ve  gained immensely from this expedition as well, I truly do believe it was all meant to be my friend.” </span>The Professor said with a smile toward the Owlbear.  <br>
<br>
As Gyld further detailed what had transpired, the professor’s same eye from before lit up like it had been when he was recording during the field research. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Fascinating..It sounds like you truly had a dialogue that seldom can say they partook in this will be a story preserved for the ages.” The professor said with excitement in his voice. The professor then attempted to use some sort of  appraisal magic on the shard a surprised look on his face, “Yes..this is very much genuine..and made of an incredibly ancient ice..”<br>
<br>
“It’s really capable of that..well for a lack of a better words that sounds like a chilling ability.”</span> The Professor said semi light heartedly, truthfully being able to devour souls sounded pretty dangerous.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“ And to think the day's events aren’t over with that execution looming..many will be gathering, personally I’m not sure if I need to see it myself.” </span>He replied as he passed the shard back to Gyld after spending a good amount of time recording information about it.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“I have a good feeling about the prospect of you gathering followers if today’s been a sign of what’s to come.” </span>He replied optimistically. <br>
<br>
<br>
Then there was the scene with the large worm. Professor Neco didn’t appear to have any objections to Gyld offering to help transport the worm as he could only assume Gyld had the skills to do such.<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)"> “I think it’s worth a shot, it’s always nice to help out.”</span><br>
<br>
The pilot of the suit looked back to Gyld, stopping, <span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">“Oh you are?” </span>A masculine voice responded through the magical machine.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">“Well you definitely look the part of some guardian hah, knock yourself out. It’d be pretty helpful, this wriggler here is gonna pay the taxes for a while thanks to the guild.” </span><br>
<br>
Whoever had been in the suit seemed pretty casual, all things considered sounding like an adult male who was in his prime, speaking with a Kingdom of Rotia dialect, an adventurer from the sound of things. At that the adventure dropped the large worm and stepped back and let Gyld do his thing.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">“Woah you weren’t kidding!” </span>He’d exclaim light heartedly giving a bit of a clap with his suit as Gyld swallowed the very sizable worm.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Good show!” </span>The professor also exclaimed encouragingly. <br>
---<br>
By the point they were back at the gates and Gyld had presumably gotten the worm to where it needed to go for processing with the mech adventurer, one of the guards gave him a thumbs up when he asked if it was better after shifting back, certainly a form which drew less attention to travel in the village streets with.<br>
<br>
Which were considerably less busy with so many doing as observed, either going back to<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Right you are, we all make a great team.” </span>The Professor agreed.<br>

<br>
Upon reentry the first order of business  for the professor was taking off all the stuff he had been carrying on his person for the trip near the door in an orderly fashion, gesturing for the others to also do so should it be applicable for what they no longer needed.<br>
<br>
He then made his way over to the area he and Phoebe had discussed before pulling out an empty scroll which looked like it was from Kuridan and he began to transcribe with very quick speed, his eye glowing again, what information he wanted in written form.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Is there anything else in particular you think is worth mentioning for the record about what transpired today Gyld?” <br>
<br>
“You too Phoebe if you had anything you wanted to add."</span><br>
<br>
 After that process was done the professor took out a small crystal from his shelf and his eye lit up again and a small green beam left it and entered the crystal making it take on the hue.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“This archives what I saw today from my perspective.” </span>He clarified to the two. He then started to pull a few books off his shelf and set them down near Phoebe, strategically knowing where each one was.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“These will help for reference in your studies, an almanac for what I’ve encountered in the area, a book about  geography and  weather patterns, as well as a book about the nearby sea.” </span>He said stacking them down.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Once we’ve finished compiling our information,  iIt’d be my honor to go out with the both of you for a celebration of our journey. I can also show either of you around at some point. And finally,  should either of  you need somewhere to stay the night I could offer some accommodations if you haven’t already if you’re planning on staying longer, as I can assure you there are some things of interest around this area, despite how remote it may feel which you may want to investigate further, and I like to think that Evergate is a nice base of operations.”</span><br>

<br>
<b>Languages:</b> Common | &lt;Beastial&gt; | [Terran] | {Sylvan} <br>
<br>
Her patience was already very thin, so the woman starting to play more and more into a drama queen act wasn't helping at all. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“My only concern right now is with those that are still in danger.”</b></span> She grumbled back at the woman's drama acting. <br>
<br>
Upon hearing Kane confirm who, or what, Varek was, she nodded. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Right.”</b></span> Nothing of use at all right now. She was clearly not on top of her game right now.<br>
<br>
Thankfully, with some aid from Kane, the next batch of information they got out of her was a lot more useful. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Now we're getting somewhere. So....”</b></span> She mumbled, trying to put pieces together. When Kane noted the similar nickname, one of them clicked. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Right, good point.”</b></span> She affirmed. <br>
<br>
Sadly enough, the woman was still uncooperative. Even the guards had to pressure her. Luckily enough, that did move the investigation a bit closer to its conclusion. Or so she hoped. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Having an affair.”</b></span> She conclude. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Wait.. what?”</b></span> The next part confused her. Enough so for her to start walking around the room in circles, wondering how this all could fit together. She started thinking aloud.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“When we met Affonso, he seemed to do what he could to break Adriano out of prison.”</b></span> Was that an entirely wrong conclusion right from the get-go? <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“He never directly said he was going to free him... yet he also never seemed to show any signs he was going against him or plotted his arrest...”</b></span>  She'd interrogated him, yet her insight hadn't picked up on anything suggesting otherwise. Had she missed that? She clicked her tongue.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“No, no. That's not the issue. Even if he was intend to free Adriano now, he could've still set him up in the past after regretting his actions.”</b></span> Still, was that true? <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Yet Adriano himself never expected his brother of anything... So why did Affonso's own men go against his orders?”</b></span> This was annoying. Things didn't seem to add up.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Unless...”</b></span> She perked up. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“What if it's true, and the two girls aren't here at all. What if there's a shapeshifter. A second Affonso. One that charmed the noblewoman into this murder plot. One that wanted to free his brother, having no clue what happened?”</b></span> That might be possible, right? <br>
<br>
She turned to the noblewoman again, her gaze seeming to try to pierce straight through her. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Did you ever see Affonso's eyes look reddish? Perhaps even just for a short moment, before fading into gray or into their natural colour?”</b></span> She asked her. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“If so, your Alfy might be in danger, so you'd best speak honestly. Besides, <i>who</i> told you <i>what</i> himself? I'm not here to play annoying pronoun games and guessing. We're too short on time for that.”</b></span> She figured that alone, with a bit of [Ultimate Argument] might get the noblewoman to spill even more. <br>
<br>
In fact, it wouldn't be a bad idea to just go by that theory and keep going for a bit more. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“What type of monster was he talking about? An actual [monster] or what? The thing that causes those white tendrils?”</b></span> She clicked her tongue. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“We've already confirmed it's likely that that thing works together with an insider, perhaps another monster, yet I'm not sure if it's truly Affonso that's taken up that task.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She sighed. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Either way, you'd best tell us every single thing you know. Two good things can happen. We clear Affonso's name and save the town, or we figure out he was involved, yet stop him before he does something that'll get his head on the chopping block. All other options seem like they'd lead to the death of him and a considerable amount of residents of this town.”</b></span> She figured she'd lay it on thick to add a bit more weight to the ultimate argument.<br>
<br>
Next, she turned to Kane. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“We'll have to look for Affonso again, I fear. Well, either him or whatever might be posing as him.”</b></span> She then turned to the guard. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I'd put her under house arrest. We can't confirm that she's free of whomever or whatever seemed to have manipulated her, so you'll want to keep an eye on her for now to make sure he or it doesn't contact her again.”</b></span> She stated, in front of Sirena, with no hesitation. She was rather fed-up with this situation and didn't shy away from making that known.</div>

<span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)">Languages: Common | [Terran]</span></b></span></span></b>​</div><hr>The walk back to civilization was, thankfully, free of monster encounters, which allowed the young mage to take more time to take in the snowy wilderness around her more now that she didn't have to worry too much about. The sight of one of the Kingdom's mechs was a welcome one indeed, another sign that they were nearing the relative safety of civilization, though the encounter did serve to raise an entirely different concern. Namely, the big ice worm the mech was hauling. This part of the continent is prone to monsters that are larger in size than other regions it seems. Perhaps as a side effect of the mana washing up?<br>
<br>
Phoebe listened intently as Glyd began speaking about his interaction with the Sire of the North and the shard that was gifted to him. She wondered what he meant by him now being intwined with the North. Too bad he didn't go further into detail, but if he wasn't willing to disclose that then she won't pry into that subject any further. Made for some good food for thought at least during the walk back in absence of monsters attacking them.<br>
<br>
Phoebe allowed herself to relax as they returned within the walls of Evergate, the streets looking much emptier than when she first went to that magic store earlier in the day. The relative warmth of the Professor's lab was another welcome sensation as they entered the building once more. After having left her travel gear and supplies neatly near the entrance, she made her way to one of the tables and opened her journal. She looked over the notes she had taken during their little adventure, briefly looking up to the Professor as he asked her and Gyld about what to include in the records of their journey.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(255, 192, 203)">"Hmm, it seemed to me that those ice lobsters Gyld was talking to on the beach acted as the catalysts to summon the Sire of the North to our location. Given their movements when the Sire was there, perhaps they could also be catalysts for sustaining his presence there? Although... they just seemed like normal creatures to me before and after the Sire had appeared... Maybe it wasn't those lobsters specifically and could have been any ice creature? oing off of how Gyld has been talking about the North, it seems like life around here is all connected in some way, though do correct me if I'm wrong, Gyld. Aside from that, I don't believe I have any more to add to the record."</span></b><br>
<br>
Pheobe gave the Professor a small appreciative bow of the head as he placed a few books in front of her. <span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)"><b>"Ah, thank you Professor." </b></span>She started off with the book about geography and weather patterns. If she could make sense of the ocean currents in the area it might be possible to pinpoint a rough area on the other continent where most of the mana could have originated. Phoebe looked up from the book as the Professor proposed a celebration for their successful journey. <span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)"><b>"A celebration sounds wonderful Professor! Getting familiarized with the town does sound nice as well. I've already booked myself at the inn for a few weeks, but thank you for the offer on accommodations."</b></span><br>
<br>
She paused for a brief moment before continuing. <span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)"><b>"On a side note, would you happen to have anything or know anything relating to residual mana decay or anything about the passage of adventurers through this area in recent times, Professor? I was thinking those might be helpful in determining where that Fae mana came from.</b></span>"</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Perched with the distinctive poise of his owl form, Gyld turned to face the Professor and Phoebe, his eyes gleaming with the thrill of recent events. His voice, though now tinged with a more sonorous quality, held the same bold tenor as he began his recount.<br>
<br>
"Ah, Professor, the dance I had with the powers of the North was one of both might and mind. I confronted the White Bear, yes, but it was more than a mere skirmish—it was a clash of spirits. And what I've gained," he gestured to himself, his feathers rustling with pride, "is a testament to that encounter."<br>
<br>
Gyld continued watching to see if he had their  rapt attention or not. When asked by Phoebe for more clarification, her pen poised above her notepad, her eyes upon Gyld, he delved deeper into the mystical aspects of his tge North.<br>
<br>
"You see, a Domain, Phoebe, is not just a sanctuary or realm. It's an extension of oneself, a manifestation of one's essence and authority. When I speak of the Northern Eternal Forest, I speak not just of a territory, but of a power that flows into me, a connection to the land and its creatures that is as real as the flesh and blood we bear. It is both a physical place here and a so spiritual one, whose nature can influence the world with mana."<br>
<br>
His words hung in the air, carrying the weight of his newfound wisdom and the awe-inspiring experiences that shaped it. It was clear to all present that Gyld, through his trials, had become more than just a guardian—he had become a force intertwined with the very fabric of the world he vowed to protect.</div>

<br>
<br>
Unfortunately understanding who Varek was supposed to be alone wasn’t exactly going to reveal a ton other than perhaps the individual praying to the being was supposedly facing off against great odds, but much of the evidence was pointing to some kind of conspiracy, even if the specifics weren’t all there yet anyway.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">Kane Blackburne</span></b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/crop-1-1-1-1-jpg.1123608/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1060/1060737-dd24894ecc7f82a7319ffe3d22cc8746.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="crop-1-1-1-1.jpg" title="crop-1-1-1-1.jpg" width="100" height="204" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Kane gave a bit of a grin at hearing Victorique compliment the information he gave. He felt like he was at least getting somewhere, the soon to be executioner giving a look toward Sirena like he was somewhat  enjoying the upsetting way he was making her feel just by being there. Indeed Kane really wasn’t all too fond of most of these sorts, particularly not after learning more about what was potentially happening with this woman.<br>
<br>
<br>
Lady Hoyles did not look particularly happy to hear Victorique out things for what they were very likely, an affair, but she did not speak on that issue even if it looked like she was about to exclaim something before she paused and continued to give a disdainful look.<br>
<br>
Kane looked over curiously at Victorique as she started to pace, looking like she was in thought at what she had heard.<br>
<br>
He and the guards listened to what she had to say, and Lady Hoyles looked visibly surprised at some of what she was saying, like some of this was information she had not heard.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“Whatever it was he didn’t tell me any children would be hurt, and I doubt he would do anything like that!”</span> Lady Hoyle asserted.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“That’s..that would actually explain some of the weird things that have been happening huh Victorique?” </span>Kane posed after hearing the possibility of their being two Affonsos.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“I mean isn’t it possible that those girls were shapeshifters themselves as well as Affonso? I guess it wouldn’t exactly explain the murderer title..I mean they might not have been monsters or criminals up until that point.” </span>Kane decided to speak his thoughts even if he didn’t feel the most equipped.<br>
<br>
Lady Hoyles looked a bit less confident when Victorique gazed right into her back, like her mental defenses were being cut through.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“As much as i despise to admit it..you said he might be in danger so..I’m afraid I must admit I might have seen something like that happen..Alfy said he was just using magic..” </span><br>
She spoke, and from what Victorique could gather from her ability usage Sirena seemed to be telling the truth, that she had seen his eyes turn a reddish hue at, at least one point.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“He’s also the one who told me all I know now.to my understanding he’s talking about a real monster..but one who he claimed would ensure his protection from his brother, one which he claims to be in mutually beneficial relationship with..you can’t possibly fault him for that can you?! If his own brother wants him dead and no one else believes him then what else was he supposed to do?! .”</span> Sirena exclaimed dramatically toward the end.<br>
<br>
Sirena looked conflicted until she eventually spoke once again. <span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“If you need to investigate his whereabouts sooner there’s a portal which can be accessed from a  memorial statue of one of those large combat suits  near the town square..” <br>
<br>
“But I can guarantee you you’ll see that I’ve been nothing but honest and you’ll see that he’s innocent!”</span> She readded. Either she truly believed  this or was delusional in some form.<br>
<br>
Kane gave Victorique a bit of a thumbs up, <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Got it, Sounds like we might as well check out that statue huh? Doesn’t sound like it’d hurt, if she’s lying we’ll know pretty quick.” </span><br>

<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“W-What! You dare treat ME this way?! Do you know who I am? You can’t keep me here!”</span> Sirena let out dramatically once more.<br>
<br>
<br>
Kane looked to Victrorique after the fact, <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Shall we get going then? I have a good gut feeling about what you’ve uncovered so far.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“And even though my fine  investigator friend here didn’t mention it, it’d be great if you guys could supply one of the magic users I saw you bringing over here, finding the access to a portal in a statue sounds like someone with that skillset could be useful.” </span><br>
<br>
Kane added in to which one the guards looked like they were in thought before allowing Kane and Victorique through.<br>
<br>

A young woman who looked like she had seen better days as far as sleep went was standing nearby, she didn’t appear to have a catalyst on her, and her clothing strangely looked more suited for the Empire than somewhere like the Kingdom of Rotia where it was so cold, but it didn’t look like she was bothered by it if she was cold. More interestingly was the lack of obvious catalyst on her.<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Understood.” </span>She said plainly with seemingly very little emotion. Kane looked to this woman and then back to Victorique a bit confused before shrugging<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">  “Alrighty then.” </span><br>
<br>
Presuming Victorique was agreeable and ready to go  it was time for the trek back, however there was an opportunity for her to do any last things there at the house before they left if she wanted too.<br>
<br>
Since the guards hadn’t given her trouble it looked like some  word had gone around that she had the Talton seal and was formally on the job.<br>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/screenshot-2023-05-02-at-11-31-35-pm-1-1-1-png.1123609/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1060/1060738-f36e4a40f0d1169d7c47d39cedc59c56.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Screenshot 2023-05-02 at 11.31.35 PM-1-1-1.png" title="Screenshot 2023-05-02 at 11.31.35 PM-1-1-1.png" width="100" height="149" loading="lazy"></a></b>​</div><br>
<br>
As Professor Neco continued to record information down, he listened to what Phoebe had to say with a nod.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Catalysts you say for the sire of the North? That’s certainly possible, there are others places of this realm where life appears to be interconnected in various ways.”</span><br>
<br>
The good professor gave the owl bear his attention when he spoke. He looked intrigued by his words, and impressed by how mature Gyld sounded in the way he spoke, there was a feeling of wisdom, the combination of great knowledge and whimsical youth which had been so fascinating to see take hold since Gyld’s encounter with these great old beings.<br>
<br>
 It sounded like with Gyld’s explanation of what had taken place that only confirmed Phoebe’s and the professors words that the life of this northern expanse was interconnected somehow..perhaps to this domain, at the very least Gyld stated he was somehow now connected to the life of this region.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“A true mix of mysticism and science..but I suppose that is how this world tends to work. Thank you for clarifying Gyld, I believe that supports what Phoebe was saying nicely.”<br>
<br>
“And I also believe that it is unlikely that it is  those lobsters specifically, as interesting creatures as they are based on the way that Gyld described his experience, I think  than any animal of the north would have served the purpose just as well as they did, of course this is just a hypothesis Of course feel free to correct me if I am wrong too, Gyld.”<br>
<br>
“You’re more than welcome Phoebe, I appreciate your academic aspirations.” </span><br>
<br>
Professor Neco smiled upon hearing her enthusiasm.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Very well then! I think I know just the place, would you like to accompany us Gyld? I’ll buy, after all your assistance not only in protecting us but in data collection was essential and I would be most honored to thank  and celebrate your success appropriately.” <br>
<br>
“And understood, the offer still stands should you want a change of scenery.”</span> He replied regarding the inn comment. Truthfully they were lucky to have an inn around here this far out to begin with, but it made sense for the adventurer sorts to have one, who were some of the most likely to come all the way out there anyway.<br>
<br>
The professor looked like he was in thought for a moment at her next question before he ceased recording setting the writing instrument he had brought out down, and his eye stopped glowing, before he turned to the many shelves of books and pawed through them swiftly until he brought out a local book of history.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Well I do have some sources which people wrote, due to Rotia’s relatively high number of adventurers, books have been written on some of the more well known ones who have traveled through here and when they came.”<br>
<br>
“You of course could also find more recent information from the adventurer guild archives I’m certain, I believe that could be of use to your research.”<br>
<br>
“I do have this book in my library.”</span><br>
<br>
 He pulled out an academic book about magic basics and mana which was staggered into beginner and more advanced sections sort of like a school textbook might be.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“In general, the stronger the source of the mana, the longer it lingers, it’s also stronger if it was caused recently compared to longer ago..this book has more specifics, and if you wanted to know even more I’m sure that the local magic shop owner who I believe you must have gotten that eye from will have even more information on the topic.” <br>
<br>
“I do think that your thought is correct, irrespectively finding this information out will help you find out where the fae mana came from and even potentially others..to my knowledge Fae originating mana can be pretty potent on the basis that many of  those from that tree tend to have quite a bit..of magic potential.”</span><br>

<br>
Victorique flawlessly countered any daggers Sirena sent her way by glaring daggers right back at her. She didn't like this woman. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I'm still trying to figure out how titles work, it's a long term goal of mine, but I can't exclude the option that they might be faked. Alternatively, possession is still an option. Perhaps... Hmmm.”</b></span> This was a long stretch, but not an impossible one. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“We don't know who Adriano killed. Perhaps he killed someone else and we all just assumed it was the death of the girl that gave him the murder title. He could've even killed the real Affonso if the one we met was a shapeshifter. Now that we know that shapeshifters and mind-control might both be at play, it's difficult to take anything at face value, including what we previously assumed to be facts... Yet to have some semblance of a theory, let's assume both the Affonso we met and the Adriano we met were real, for now. That would still make it possible that Affonso was possessed when dealing with her or that a shapeshifter did so...”</b></span><br>
<br>
It was a rather annoying thing to deal with and even more annoying to admit too. Luckily enough, Hoyles finally added something useful of her own accord. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“There you go...”</b></span> She mumbled. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Did he say he was just using magic before or after his eyes turned colour?”</b></span> That was an important one. If he was a shapeshifter, he'd warn her ahead of time. If he was possessed, he'd have to explain it away after the fact. Perhaps this might give them a clue leaning one way or the other.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Monsters always lie.”</b></span> She replied simply yet firmly. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I can fault him for that, believing the lies of a monster and being lured in to work with one is among one of the most stupid things one can do. Yet even so, I'll try to get him out of this alive if I can track him down and figure out what might've happened.”</b></span> She left out the part where she wondered if they wouldn't just execute him even if she did save him. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“A portal... Near the town square...”</b></span><br>
<br>
She sighed. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Are you fucking...”</b></span> She said angrily. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Never mind, you did well by telling us. You might've just saved countless lives.”</b></span> She turned to Kane and the guards. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“A portal at the town square, an execution set-up with a noble to draw people there. One plus one makes two. It seems like they have a way to draw in the people and a backdoor to go through to come slaughter them. Another piece pointing at an impending massacre in the town's square.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She ignored her claims about his innocence. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Let's go, but I'm not sure we should go through that portal if we find. We have every reason to believe a small army of monsters is waiting on the other side for a sign to come butcher people at the square. Heck, we should even be extra careful if we decide to open it. We might need some of those fancy armoured suits...”</b></span> There was a tad bit of bias the last sentence of that statement. She still wanted to ride one.<br>
<br>
Considering she was no longer interested in lady Hoyles, her attention shifted to Kane and the new woman they'd got hooked up with. Even so, her pride as a [Fae] unable to do much magic was a tad bit hurt, even though it was normal among Halflings. As they'd head towards that statue, she figured she might as well ask the woman what she was about. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“So... Jez? What type of mage are you?”</b></span> She figured the woman would've already picked up on her name, so she didn't bother introducing herself.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">When brought into the magical philosophical discussions between the Professor and Phoebe, Gyld, embodying the serene wisdom of his owl form, turned his glowing eyes towards the Professor and Phoebe. His voice, calm and enigmatic, carried the depth of ancient forests and the stillness of a moonlit night.<br>
<br>
"The nature of the North," he began, "is like the moon's reflection on a tranquil lake. The lobsters, like the water, are but the medium. It is not the creature that summons, but the essence it mirrors."<br>
<br>
He paused, allowing the words to hang in the air like mist. "To understand the Sire's summoning is to understand the breeze that bends the boughs. It moves unseen, yet its presence is felt through its manifestations. The lobsters, the ice, the wind – they are all whispers of the same voice."<br>
<br>
Gyld’s gaze then shifted skyward, as if drawing wisdom from the stars themselves. "In the grand dance of the North, each creature plays its part unknowingly, like leaves floating down a stream. They do not guide the water, yet they follow its course, revealing its flow."<br>
<br>
He looked back at his companions, his eyes deep pools of knowing. "So, when you ask why the lobsters, ponder this: Does the falcon choose the wind upon which it soars? The North calls, and its children respond, not as catalysts, but as echoes of a deeper song."<br>
<br>
With that, Gyld fell silent, his cryptic words leaving a trail of thought for the Professor and Phoebe to ponder. His response, like a Zen koan, was not meant to provide direct answers, but to inspire reflection on the interconnectedness and mysteries of nature and existence.<br>
<br>
<hr><br>
Gyld, perched gracefully with his feathers shimmering in hues of green, listened intently as Professor Neco and Phoebe spoke. His owl form, though diminutive compared to his powerful bear and owlbear forms, carried an air of enigmatic charm and intelligence. The idea of a celebration ignited a spark of excitement in his eyes, and the mention of food made his stomach rumble audibly.<br>
<br>
"Ah, Professor, you know the way to an owlbear's heart," Gyld quipped, his voice carrying the jovial tone that was so characteristic of him. "A celebration sounds splendid! And the prospect of exploring this town and indulging in its culinary delights? Count me in!" His eyes gleamed with anticipation.<br>
<br>
He hopped closer to the Professor, the agility of his owl form on full display. "And as for your offer of a meal, how could I possibly refuse? You have my deepest thanks, Professor. And Phoebe," he turned his glowing eyes towards her, "your company has been invaluable. I am eager to see more of this town with both of you."<br>
<br>
Gyld's thoughts also lingered on the amulet of protection against cold that he had been given earlier. With his new resistance to cold thanks to his transformations, the amulet was unnecessary for him. He pondered who among the townsfolk could benefit from it, his mind already scanning through potential candidates as they walked.<br>
<br>
As they made their way through the quiet streets of Evergate, Gyld's keen owl eyes observed the environment, taking in the details of the architecture, the layout of the streets, and the few townsfolk who were still out and about. The town, with its unique charm and character, presented a new terrain for Gyld to explore and understand—a small adventure in itself. His instinctive and impulsive nature, combined with his aspirations of becoming a true hierophant, made him eager to immerse himself in the new experiences that Evergate had to offer.</div>

Eye daggers countered eye daggers as Sirena looked back.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">Kane Black Burne</span></b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/crop-1-1-1-1-1-jpg.1124990/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1062/1062119-dd24894ecc7f82a7319ffe3d22cc8746.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="crop-1-1-1-1-1.jpg" title="crop-1-1-1-1-1.jpg" width="100" height="204" loading="lazy"></a>​</div>Kane looked curious when Victorique mentioned it might be possible to fake titles. He really hoped that wasn’t possible, it would make his branch of ‘work’ more complex if those above him had to worry about titles being faked. Part of him doubted that proper process would be followed in a place like Rotia to verify they were genuine. If someone rich and powerful enough wanted someone gone Rotia was definitely an easier place to make it happen.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Sirena looked even less pleased at the possible suggestion that the real Affonso had been killed by Adriano. Unfortunately for them everything which Victorique spoke of was in fact a possibility which could be considered. Her assumption that they were both real until further evidence was a valid safer approach.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“As many uncertainties as there are, and as damning as that report scene sounded like from what I heard, I do know that it’s possible for people to get murder titles even if the killing was accidental.”</span> Kane figured he’d throw it out there. His background of being witness to his father’s craft and the many who had died being advantageous in this situation as far as knowledge went. Even so the answers felt so close, almost palpable on the tongue.<br>
<br>
Sirena had continued to look at Victorique during this dialogue, still clenching her fist. She looked like she was in thought before she replied bitterly.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“I think he told me after.”</span><br>
<br>
Kane was curious as to why Victorique asked a question like that but he had no doubt she had a method at this point.<br>
<br>
Monsters aren’t the only things that lie Kane couldn’t help but think to himself at that line, regardless he agreed with Victroique’s words, even he knew not to work with monsters unless in dire straits and even then he wouldn’t trust them for a second, not that Kane really needed additional help not trusting other people.<br>
<br>
The guards and Kane looked like they were following what Victorique was saying.<br>
<br>
Sirena let out a ‘hmph’ type sort sound when Victorique was obviously annoyed and then backtracked acknowledging that at least Sirena had done something right, presuming she was telling the truth of course.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">Evergate Guard<br>

<br>
<span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">“We may very well need to deploy suits to breach if you believe there may be dangerous monsters behind the portal.”</span><br>
---<br>
When that dialogue back at the house had concluded Victorique, Jez, and Kane were on their way toward the town square once again. Some of the soldiers were leaving the house as well, as it appeared a full presence was no longer needed at the site, and they were being redirected toward where the trio were headed.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“For not being around here I gotta give it to ya, you learn pretty quick. I know that It might not mean a lot coming from a guy like me but I think you’re onto something big that's probably going to save a lot of lives.” Kane said with a grin  which looked more celebratory than anything toward Victorique.</span><br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Jez<br>

Jez looked to Victorique as they moved, the same neutral expression on her face. She spoke clearly, without much intonation.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“I’m with the Adventurer’s guild and I’ve studied light and dark magic for years, if there are dark arts being used there’s a high probability I’ll be able to determine what was used and which counter measures are appropriate.” </span><br>
<br>
The fact she was an adventurer wasn’t surprising at all to Kane, as she didn’t really strike him as the business owner type,  nor of the local religion, which narrowed down what was common.<br>
<br>
One notable distinguisher besides her clothing was If Jez was bothered by Kane’s presence she didn’t vocalize it and  she moved in relatively close proximity to him.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“So I’m no magic genius but why would you want to wear something like that out here, aren’t you cold?”</span><br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Temperature regulation requires only a small portion of my abilities.”<br>
<br>
“And what about you Victorique, what is your skillset?” </span>She inquired, sounding a bit more social than she might have initially seemed before.<br>
<br>
They got across the training grounds and out the door easy enough back into the civilian section of the guarded community.<br>
<br>
Then they were back on the streets, evidence of Victorique’s words making an impact on what the local militia was doing, as when they arrived back in the square there were a few large suits like they had seen during the training holding what looked like sizable energy spears.<br>
<br>
Then there was the statute not far off from the center which was looking less populated. At the very least it sounded like some word had gotten around of possible dangers and it had dissuaded people from sticking around, the execution possibly having been canceled being propagated, in lieu of the uncertain situation with Lord Hoyles, which while not wide spread was influencing what was being told to the public, out of them  not wanting to create unnecessary unrest or panic undoubtedly.<br>
<br>
Once they were there Jez approached the statue which depicted the large suited Hero which one of Victorique's companions had gotten some guards to investigate earlier, perhaps abeit inadequately, now there was finally someone present who was skilled enough to get a proper reading.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“This is the one right?” </span>She asked Victorique for confirmation before she raised her hands out and the whole thing was illuminated in some kind of dark glow, Jez’s eyes shifting to a glowy amber color.<br>
<br>
She then shook her head. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Something is wrong with this statue..something dark has imprinted upon it.”</span> Gesturing to a strange symbol which  was now illuminated vi magic which looked very similar to some of the ones which Victorique had seen on the parchment evidence she had taken from the daughters' room.<br>

Neco nodded, <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“I suppose you are indicating they are all connected if they are the same voice.”<br>
<br>
“Not..as catalysts.. I hadn’t considered that from my first thoughts.I will include your insightful words in my archive..I am certain with your unusual experience it will be most important to keep note of for further research.”</span><br>
<br>
While the professor could appreciate mysticism for what it was, if there was a chance that someone like him could help unravel the mysteries of the world then he was quite intent on helping Phoebe where he could.<br>
<br>
Then there was Gyld hungry as perusal, he had no qualms about going out to eat with them, which made the Professor smile warmly upon hearing this.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Very well then, with how you are able to shift size, especially after our experience today, I can only imagine you benefit from plenty of energy to keep yourself in optimal condition.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“I am charmed to have you accompany us then.” </span><br>
<br>
Since everyone had agreed and was ready, after the professor grabbed his coin they were on their way out on the streets of Evergate once more. The people they passed was less frequent than before, thankfully despite the events unfolding which they were not privy too so far, the downtown business area street  did have quite a few people, who had opted to go and have a good time out and about rather than head home, likely unaware to the extent of potential danger a certain Halfing was currently investigating.<br>
<br>
As for Gyld looking for someone to hand off the accessory he deemed no longer necessary, perhaps one of the adventurers would be suitable.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“I believe i Know just the place too!” I</span>n fact it was a restaurant which a certain orc had stopped at earlier to enjoy a balcony view.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“I think they have the most pleasant seasonal menu which I think we’ll all be able to find something which matches our tastes.”</span><br>
<br>
<br>
As they drew closer to the multi-leveled restaurant, composed of a lower level and upper one with a balcony, the faint sounds of talking, music, and merriment could be heard.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/screenshot-2023-05-07-at-2-13-14-am-1-png.1124989/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1062/1062118-0c19db5a56f18cdb04efc7b72f116f0a.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Screenshot 2023-05-07 at 2.13.14 AM-1.png" title="Screenshot 2023-05-07 at 2.13.14 AM-1.png" width="189" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Upon entering the interior space it was notably more bustling than surrounding areas but not completely filled to capacity. Guests were predominantly enjoying themselves both indoors and outdoors. It was evident that many of them were adorned in battle attire, possibly returning from a day of monster-slaying. There was a diverse mix of individuals in terms of height, physique, and occupation. Many younger faces were among the group.. Most seemed to be having a sufficiently good time, with mead and beer flowing, accompanied by the scents of spices.<br>
<br>
A nearby bard was strumming and singing a popular tale about how the people of Rotia were defiant in the face of monstrous hordes. After being welcomed in the group would find themselves at a table with a nice balcony view. Professor Neco and Gyld perhaps getting some glances on their way through on account of being beasts, but nothing that was inherently discriminatory, some were just surprised, particularly by Gyld.<br>
<br>
On the menus they were provided there were of course several alcoholic beverage options meads, and beers, as well as the aforementioned seasonal offerings, even frost spider legs made an appearance on the menu as meat presumably from the type of lobsters they had seen earlier. Breads with butter, honeys, and winter berry jam, root vegetable meat stews, much of what could be ordered was hearty but accessible to most palettes. There was even something for vegetarians or those with less of a budget. The view was nice and so were the seats, all things considered. As Professor Neco took a gander he set down his parchment menu, and looked to his companions. The interior decor had a certain handcrafted element too it, using what materials were locally accessible, from the furniture to building itself.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Please feel free to order whatever you’d like this is a celebration after all.” </span>his gaze looking over toward the upper floor fireplace which emitted a nice glow, providing some additional warmth.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">In his sleek owl form, Gyld perched effortlessly on Professor Neco's shoulder, his talons gripping gently yet securely. His feathers, shimmering in the moonlight, added a mystical aura to their small group as they navigated the streets of Evergate. His golden eyes, wide and observant, scanned the surroundings with an air of calm vigilance, embodying the wisdom and serenity of his current guise.<br>
<br>
As they made their way through the lively downtown area, Gyld's keen eyes spotted a group of adventurers huddled near a tavern. Among them, one individual stood out. This person, wrapped in a cloak that seemed too thin for the cold, shivered noticeably, their breath visible in the chilly air. Sensing an opportunity to be of assistance, Gyld fluttered down from the Professor's shoulder, landing gracefully beside the cold-looking adventurer.<br>
<br>
"Good evening," Gyld addressed them in a voice that, despite his small size, carried the depth and warmth of his owlbear nature. "It seems to me that you could use this more than I." With a gentle motion, he offered the amulet of cold protection. The adventurer, taken aback by the talking owl, hesitated for a moment before accepting the gift with a look of surprise and gratitude.<br>
<br>
"This will help keep the chill at bay," Gyld continued, his tone laced with a hint of pride and satisfaction. "May it serve you well in your journeys."<br>
<br>
The adventurer, now holding the amulet, nodded in thanks, their eyes wide with wonder. "Thank you, wise one. I'll treasure it."<br>
<br>
"You may revere me as Gyld, Guardian of the Northern Eternal Glade. You may seek my protection should the world be too much and I may call upon you should the Eternal Glade benefit from your support." <br>
<br>
With a nod and a slight flap of his wings, Gyld returned to Professor Neco's shoulder, ready to continue their journey to the restaurant. Gyld's owlish head swiveled, his emerald green feathers now flecked with frosty white as if snow had dusted them. <br>
<br>
As they approached the multi-leveled restaurant, the lively sounds of merriment grew louder. The prospect of a pleasant meal in good company seemed to lift everyone's spirits, and even Gyld appeared content, his owl eyes reflecting the lights and colors of the bustling street.<br>
<br>
<hr><br>
Gyld, in his owl form, perched regally at the table, his sharp eyes taking in the vibrant tavern atmosphere with a mix of curiosity and amusement. The bustling energy of the place, with its blend of battle-weary warriors and merry revelers, felt both invigorating and oddly comforting. It was a stark contrast to the icy silence of the North and the tranquil depths of the Eternal Glade.<br>
<br>
The bard's song resonated with Gyld, stirring a sense of admiration for the resilience and defiance of the people of Rotia. As they made their way to the table, Gyld couldn’t help but notice the curious glances directed at him and Professor Neco. Some were surprised, others intrigued, but none seemed hostile. Gyld puffed up his feathers slightly, basking in the attention. He had always enjoyed being the center of attention, and this was no different.<br>
<br>
Perusing the menu, Gyld didn't bother with the usual formalities of reading through it. His current form had specific culinary preferences. "I'll have your finest mice or voles, if you have them," he announced to the waiter, his tone confident and slightly flamboyant, reminiscent of a movie star making an off-menu request. "The fresher, the better. And make sure they're worthy of a guardian of the Eternal Glade."<br>
<br>
The waiter, slightly taken aback by the talking owl’s request, nodded quickly and scurried off to fulfill the unusual order. Gyld turned his attention back to the Professor, nodding approvingly at the inviting warmth of the fireplace and the quaint, handcrafted decor around them.<br>
<br>
"Ah, Professor, you've picked a fine establishment to celebrate our grand adventure," he said, his voice imbued with a sense of contentment. "The energy here... it's invigorating. And the diversity of these warriors and adventurers," he glanced around at the other patrons, "it's quite different from the bustle of the Eternal Glade. So many feast without trying to eat each other much like a pride of lions I suppose."<br>
<br>
As they waited for their orders, Gyld occasionally swiveled his head, observing the patrons and absorbing the tales carried by the bard's song. The warmth from the fireplace, the chatter, and laughter around, and the anticipation of a meal suited to his tastes filled him with a sense of belonging and joy. This, he thought, was an excellent way to celebrate their journey and their triumphs. The only thing that would make it better was if the bards were singing his own praises...he turned towards the professor. "Don't you think it would be better if the bards sung of our own adventures?"</div>

		</a> <a href="/members/thetimepiece.61269/" class="username " dir="auto" data-user-id="61269" data-xf-init="member-tooltip">TheTimePiece</a>
<br>
<b>Languages:</b> Common | &lt;Beastial&gt; | [Terran] | {Sylvan} <br>
<br>
Kane's suggestion made her wonder something. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Must be tough, in your line of work. All they'd need is to trick you into thinking you're killing a criminal and you'd become one yourself.”</b></span> She hadn't spent much thought on it before, but Kane's job definitely was a risky one.<br>
<br>
Sirena's statement was a bit of a breakthrough. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“After. Thank you.”</b></span> She replied. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“So, it might be safe to assume that whatever caused the eye-colour to change, possibly possession, to be what told you not to worry about it. Not Affonso himself.”</b></span> She confirmed, perhaps being a bit more brutally honest than intended, but she had very little patience left with Sirena. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“So our current hypothesis would be possession rather than a monster using Affonso's appearance as a disguise.”</b></span> She was glad to at least have that (re)confirmed.<br>
<br>
As for deploying suits, she'd nod. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Right, but do tell everyone to be weary of tiny holes in the ground. Sending in extra troops would only backfire if they immediately get possessed by those white tendril things, although I'd hope those can't take over folk within those suits.”</b></span> That was one of the main <s>excuses</s> reasons she could come up with to deploy a mecha or two there.<br>
<br>
She wasn't sure how to react to Kane's compliment. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“That's the goal, although I'd rather not celebrate early. I've got a nasty feeling that I'm still missing a big piece of the puzzle.”</b></span> She admitted, as she felt like there was something obvious that somehow hadn't fallen into place yet. It was a rather annoying gut-feeling to have, one that'd make her want to light up her pipe and smoke for a while.<br>
<br>
On the other hand, Jez was somehow getting on her nerves. Well 'somehow' wasn't just a random reason. After all, Jez admitted to having studied dark magic, whilst Victorique was sorting out a case that might very well be caused by dark magic. She'd seen and read enough detectives to know that the proposed cure could very well be what started it all. She'd get unapologetically close to Jez to use [Ultimate Detective A] on her, trying to read her titles with Appraisal A and her body language and demeanour with the rest of her ability.<br>
<br>
Ultimate Detective – Appraisal A, Heightened Senses [Hearing/Sight/Smell/Taste/Balance] B, Insight D, Investigation D, Perception C, Law D, Energised B – Character combines all their applicable senses and knowledge to get to the bottom of a mysteries or to be on high alert for clues, dangers or hints. - Grade A – 5 Post Cooldown.<br>
<br>
Despite not really trusting Jez, Victorique couldn't help chuckle when Kane commented about Jez's clothing. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Don't let her distract you too much, we've still got a job to do.”</b></span> She'd comment, feeling that it was more than his worry for Jez's temperature that had gotten his eyes glued to her particular attire.<br>
<br>
When Victorique was asked about her own skill-set, she wasn't sure what to reply. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I'm a detective.”</b></span> That was what she eventually settled on. She didn't feel like explaining more, at least not until she'd been able to 'clear' her suspicions of Jez.<br>
<br>
Upon Jez's conformation of what was on the statue, Victorique sighed. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Looks like the same type of deal I saw in Hoyles' place. Do you have any idea what these symbols mean, or what they might do?”</b></span> She'd ask Jez. Magic wasn't her own forte, sadly enough. All she could do was see if it'd relate to any of the languages she'd learned and if she could figure something out thanks to her investigation (B) skills. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Ah, right, be careful not to go near any small holes in the ground or statue. We got some weird white-tendril monsters taking over people's bodies hiding in them.”</b></span> She figured it best to give the extra warning, as she'd scan the area with [Ultimate Detective] for them.</div>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/screenshot-2023-05-02-at-11-31-35-pm-1-1-1-1-png.1126429/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1063/1063558-f36e4a40f0d1169d7c47d39cedc59c56.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Screenshot 2023-05-02 at 11.31.35 PM-1-1-1-1.png" title="Screenshot 2023-05-02 at 11.31.35 PM-1-1-1-1.png" width="100" height="149" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
By the time they were seated Professor Neco seemed unphased by Gyld’s choice of ordering mice or voles. He knew well enough that there were probably plenty of those to be found throughout Rotia and that someone no doubt was going to go and fetch them. When times got dire people ate pretty much whatever they needed to in order to survive. In addition this establishment being near an area where adventurers frequented enough it being so close to the Rotian wilderness, had diverse dietary needs to meet.<br>
<br>
Professor Neco on the other hand ordered more traditionally but with a cheery demeanor. <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Hm, Mice can be nice, but I think I’d like to have the spiced dried fish and your artisan bread with some of your honey and butter.”<br>
<br>
“And I’d like to buy some mead for our table.”</span> He further added. That order was taken as well, and if their pinkette friend would order hers would be taken too when the time came.<br>
<br>
<br>
The cat beastman turned to Gyld with a smile.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“I’m glad you think so friend, I am of the belief that this is an excellent establishment to get a taste of the land, while living in The Kingdom of Rotia may not be for the faint of heart, there is a sense of unity for many who choose to hold onto their homeland in the face of adversity.”</span> The good professor chuckled a bit at Gyld’s matter of factness of the comparison.<br>
<br>
Gyld’s observation was accurate as while there were many human adventurers there were some fae, perhaps even some constructs in the establishment but there were even less of them than beasts. What was nice about the scene was how they seemed to be getting along, like their differences mattered much less in that moment than their current companies.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“I suppose I hadn’t given it too much thought until now, I think that is certainly something we all can aspire too, as we all go on our adventures in our own right whether there’s an epic battle or not.”<br>
<br>
“I’m certain with what I've seen that they’ll be singing of your adventures in the future if what happened today is any sign of what is to come.”</span><br>
<br>
Looking to their companion the professor asked, <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Did you have any thoughts on the matter Phoebe? Are you welcoming of the praise which may follow?”</span><br>
<br>
After some time the waiter came back with their orders, including the fresh as possible mice and voles as well as what appeared to be some spiced oils and sauce blends for Gyld to consume them with in small dishes around the larger wooden crafted bowl. Some water had also been fetched for the group’s table.<br>
<br>
Professor Neco’s fish were arranged in a similar styled bowl, with the addition of a generous amount of bread. The mead arrived shortly thereafter to which Professor Neco offered to pour some for either of his dining companions first and foremost.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Before I get going into this lovely spread fully, I just wanted to also say Gyld, I appreciate the great kindness you’ve shown It is a quality which will take you far.”</span><br>

<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“There are a lot of things about this job that make it less than appealing to many, good news news is I’ve had plenty to learn from my father growing up. There are ways which a scenario like that would be dealt with.”</span><br>
<br>
Much of Victorique’s words from that point on were reciprocated by a resting bitch face on Sirena, letting out a soft sound of disgruntled agreement. The only thing that seemed to really  if temporarily improve her mood was the fact that with what Victorique speculated, there was a higher chance of the real one being alive and it not being some shapeshifter or mimic which had taken his place.<br>
<br>
The guard seemed receptive to Victorique’s words nodding. They had been learning that much that the small holes were bad news, between how the tendrils lashed out from them so quickly during the test to them being all over the Hoyles residence.  The guard who she had been talking to was in agreement of her words regardless and indicated he would do so.<br>

<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“You really want to ride in one of those things huh?”</span> Kane asked with a grin later on their way still, looking to Victorique.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Don’t worry, I can’t blame ya, when I was younger I thought it would have been really cool to get one myself and go on adventures, but with my old man, it’d appear that life had other plans for me.”</span> He reflected.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“And even I get you being careful about this sort of thing when monsters are at play I've seen what some of them can do first hand, there’s been a lot of moving parts to this case.”</span><br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Jez</span></b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/ce5f652f2048cabf8b5761047a7a8847-jpg.1126430/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1063/1063559-f8d10e8bc5035ae53b0e732aae41adc1.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="ce5f652f2048cabf8b5761047a7a8847.jpg" title="ce5f652f2048cabf8b5761047a7a8847.jpg" width="100" height="111" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Victorique’s appraisal ability revealed a few titles about Jez. She was in fact a member of one of the Rotian Adventurer guilds at a C Grade.  She had another title named <b>[Monster Whisperer]</b>, <b>[Dark Arts Wiz]</b>, <b>[Mistress of Rites],</b>  and an<b> [Eccentric]</b> title. As Victorique got up close to Jez and appraised her it didn’t even look like Jez acknowledged her which was most peculiar, keeping the same serious and solemn face on her. Her body language and demeanor was probably almost disturbingly calm with how she didn’t seem the least bit nervous about what they were getting involved with.<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Tch Yeah yeah..”</span> Kane replied with a bit of a playful semi suggestive grin at her comment. If Jez had read the context, yet again she didn’t appear to react.<br>
<br>
Jez gave Victorique a simple nod when she said detective with a deadpan<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Understood.”</span><br>
<br>
<br>
Kane stayed nearby Victorique for the time being ready to bring his ax out if need be, “Well at least we got back up nearby if we need it.” gesturing toward some of the suits in the square.<br>
<br>
Jez gave Victorique another nod. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“They’re symbols in an unconventional form of monster, you’ll see it used sometimes in dark rituals or rites when deals are forged between monsters and others..” </span>She replied matter of fact.<br>
<br>
Victorique’s high level appraisal would let her know that there was definitely something up with the statue, as it was practically radiating some sort of sinister magic. Even if she didn’t know about it specifically she could practically feel it which probably helped account for why Jez reacted the way she did.<br>
<br>
She also took notice of some of the same small holes within the statue base itself and around the ground just as she had mentioned, thankfully it looked like Jez had avoided them, while Kane looked less aware of their presence despite Victorique mentioning the possibility of them, but he wasn’t currently in the direct sight line of them any.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“I believe there is in fact a portal which is accessible through here.”</span> Jez then informed everyone in general.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“What should we do then.” </span>Kane murmured, looking like he was calculating the risks in his head. If they opened it something horrible and powerful might come out. There was also the fact he wasn’t privy to what Victorique knew about the fact that Jez hadn’t exactly been cleared by her appraisal.<br>

<b>Languages:</b> Common | &lt;Beastial&gt; | [Terran] | {Sylvan} <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Well, I mean...”</b></span> She was a bit surprised when Kane suddenly brought up her desire to be in one of those mecha's. She wasn't exactly proud of it, as it did feel a tad bit childish. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Right.”</b></span> She eventually replied, after he told her why he couldn't have gotten to pilot one personally and added the bit about the moving parts to this case. She figured that was her cue to get back on point, before she'd say something that might be embarrassing. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Indeed, this has quickly gotten far more complex than I figured it might be. To think I only came here trying to learn more about criminal titles and got caught up in all of this instead...”</b></span> They'd progressed quite a bit in very little time. For better or worse.<br>
<br>
Although Jez didn't hold any criminal titles, the ones she did hold didn't make her seem any less shady. Monster Whisperer, really? Dark Arts Wiz, seriously? Mistress of Rites, are you kidding me? <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b><span style="font-size: 9px">“{No shit she's eccentric...}”</span></b></span> Victorique mumbled in her native tongue, after having seen all that. It might be a tad bit much to immediately suspect her of anything, but it was also difficult not to further pursue this amount of suspiciousness. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Say, Jez, could you tell me a bit more about what you specialised in, for magic and as an adventurer? I don't know much about magic and adventuring, but I should at least know the subjects within it and the methods behind it.”</b></span> She figured that would be a good question. If Jez were to try hiding any of these interests, she'd instantly become a whole lot more suspicious compared to if she'd admit it. Besides, considering how Jez hadn't flinched at all to how closely Victorique had been watching her, Victorique had an inkling that Jez was already aware she'd just been appraised.<br>
<br>
Despite all earlier deliberations, she couldn't help gloss at the mecha suits, still with some curiosity. That said, she had an investigation to do. Luckily, Jez admitted the symbols were a form of monster, which meant she also admitted to recognising monster. She also admitted knowing it was about a deal between monsters and others, making her even less suspicious. After all, it didn't sound like she was hiding that knowledge. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Do you think it backs up my theory that Affonse might've struck such a deal? Could it be between him and these White Tendrils?”</b></span> She added, looking over the small holes in the statue. <br>
<br>
A tad annoyed, she called out to Kane. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Steer clear of those. Wouldn't want you to get taken over into chopping my head off.”</b></span> She warned him, pointing out the holes he'd seemed to have missed. <br>
<br>
Considering Victorique did know some [Monster] she tried to at least see if she could read or confirm any more, although the 'unconventional form' part of Jez's statement made that unlikely. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Does it say anything more specific? Like who, what, or how many are involved?”</b></span> She still felt like they were shooting in the dark at some points, this being one of those points.<br>
<br>
The fact that there was a portal as well made it even more shady. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Do you know how big or stable it might be or become? Is it just to let the white tendrils through, or could some bigger monsters storm through? Does it look like it's been used before?”</b></span> She'd fire some questions at Jez, hoping the latter would be able to give her more answer. This wasn't all that useful, as it only confirmed the suspicions they already had.<br>
<br>
When Kane asked what to do next, she doubted. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Considering the mecha's are already out here, whomever tried to attack by surprise will be alerted. If not already, then soon. That means they will either act out in panic or flee. Worst case, they know how to take over a mecha and we'll be in big trouble. Best case, they flee... In both cases, perhaps trying to be a bit more proactive might not be a bad idea...”</b></span> She took a deep sigh.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“How about we ask some of the guys and gals in the big suits to be at the ready and have Jez open this up for us? At the very least we won't be taken by surprise, in that case, right?”</b></span> It was a big gamble, but right now, it felt like the most clever move to her. Ah, but there was one thing she should add. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Ah, right, I'm not sure if it's possible, but Jez, if you have anything that might stop or at the least slow those white tendrils from coming out and taking over people's bodies, that'd be tremendously useful.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Should  Jez agree to open it up, Victorique would have her [Ultimate Future Detective] at the ready to see into the future just far enough to be ready for anything.<br>

Kane was seemingly unfazed by Victorique’s response to his mecha comment, instead the grin lingering for a bit.<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Well if everything works out maybe you’ll..what’s the saying? Hit two birds with one stone..yeah I think that’s it.”</span><br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Jez<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/ce5f652f2048cabf8b5761047a7a8847-jpg.1127623/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1064/1064752-f8d10e8bc5035ae53b0e732aae41adc1.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="ce5f652f2048cabf8b5761047a7a8847.jpg" title="ce5f652f2048cabf8b5761047a7a8847.jpg" width="100" height="111" loading="lazy"></a></span></b>​</div><br>
Jez looked at Victorique pretty blanky when she asked that question, her solemn expression not shifting.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“In order to counter the blight that are monsters, I took on the philosophy that coming to better understand them and the dark magic which one can find hand in hand with them was essential. I have learned how to curse, how to make pacts, rituals,  studied  and obtained knowledge on various kinds of monsters which can be found in Rotia  as well as counter curse magic, and magic which can help protect against these less than desirable dark truths of this world.”<br>
<br>
“Unlike some, I am not opposed to working with monsters to kill other monsters..after all who knows better than a monster how to defeat another monster..it all matters little to me as the end result will all be the same for them in the end.”<br>
<br>
“While I may be shunned by some for learning the arts and using these methods,   understanding my enemy is far more valuable.”</span> Jez rationalized. It sounded like she was perhaps someone who was consulted for these sorts of threats. From the sound of things Jez was pretty adamant on spilling quite a bit. <br>
<br>
Even then it probably wasn’t going to clear her of all suspicion especially not after admitting she worked with monsters prior potentially.<br>
<br>
As Victorique noticed the suits it looked like a few more spear models were gradually congregating, the sounds of the heavy vehicles walking along on the ground could be heard.<br>
<br>
Kane looked over, actually feeling a bit relieved by what he saw, reinforcements were coming, that meant at least someone in this place was taking them seriously, not something which Kane had felt in quite some time, as pessimistic as he often felt, this was a nice change of pace.<br>
<br>
As Jez scrutinized the statue, she eventually nodded,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “I think that there is a possibility, does this noble you speak of have light hair?” </span>She inquired in response to Victorique’s question.<br>
<br>
“If they are white tendrils as you describe, I believe this may be a parasitic, like monster of sorts..”<br>
<br>
Kane looked a bit surprised to hear the halfling call out to him about avoiding the holes. <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Oi, thanks, we wouldn’t want our friendship to conclude so early now would we?”</span> He chuckled, before stepping out of the way of the holes so that they weren’t able to hone in on him straight forward at least.<br>
<br>
<br>
Victorique’s knowledge of standard monsters did actually help her make out some of what the strange ritualistic short form was indicating.<br>
<br>
Victorique could gather there  was a suggestion of sacrifice for great power of some kind.<br>
<br>
Jez would respond once more as she walked around the statue base.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“It actually describes at least  eight or so people who may have made this very pact…one of whom sounds much like this Affonso I’ve heard of. I just wish there were names..those who partook clearly knew what they were doing, not exposing their names in such an obvious way, perhaps with more digging we can find them, this script is not always as straight forward as it appears at a surface level.”</span><br>
<br>
After some more scanning Jez continued, <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“I fear there is a suggestion of working with the tendriled monster  to help defeat those they deem their enemies..”<br>
<br>
“As for the portal, until I can see it visualized, not all the signifiers  I'd like to investigate will be present, but what I can tell is that the portal will be stable, as there is evidence those who made it were experienced, I am also concerned that the portal will be large enough to let a large being through, perhaps the one which the tendrils are attached too. From what I can tell this portal has been used before, there are  actually some lingering signs of faint residual mana from earlier use this day.”</span><br>
<br>
<br>
Kane wasn’t thrilled to hear the assessment which Victorique made since it sounded pretty concerning, even if he didn’t outwardly express it. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Yeah..like I said a lot of moving parts..but that sounds like as good an idea as any, maybe they can take some strategic formation or something..I dunno, haven’t really studied many military formations..either way sounds like something big could be coming out of that thing.”</span><br>
<br>
Kane then made his way over to the spear mechas and called out <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Well you all heard the detective! Get into gear and get ready to fight whatever horror might come out of this thing, Rotia might be rotting but I know first hand that you all want to protect the civilians here, don’t you?! Then act like it!” </span>Kane proclaimed, sounding a bit uncharacteristically fired up now. He brandished his executioner axe before stepping a good distance away off toward the sidelines of the square  from the statue, presuming Victorique would want to get a good distance away too encase something really bad happened. <br>
<br>
The mecha pilots after some deliberation  got into a semi spear wall formation in front of the statue, and other people were evacuated who were still on scene who weren’t qualified to deal with the threat.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“I have the means to help counter the tendril’s influence should we need it.”</span> Jez nodded, presumably suggesting she had magic which could help.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Very well then I’ll open the portal when we’re ready.”</span><br>
<br>
Presuming everyone had gotten into the most advantageous position they could, Jez stood a good distance back, and her body glowed a purplish hue, symbols lighting up all over the statue like she was highly focused, interacting with magical elements some time before Jez finished<br>
<br>
Victorique’s ability would reveal a large silvery portal opening and a large swarm of tendrils flying out of the portal toward whatever was closest too them.<br>

<br>
She'd listened to Jez's words with clear interest. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Thank you for your honesty. I'd have to agree, even though it sounds like a risky business.”</b></span> She eventually stated. It sounded like Jez wasn't questioned about these things for the first time, as she had her story ready. Victorique wondered how often Jez was accused of such things, as playing with these types of subjects meant she was one of the first suspects whenever monsters were involved. After all, who's to say she hadn't gotten corrupted, influenced, taken over, controlled or even replaced by one, if she interacted with them on such a regular basis? <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“You must have gotten used to being everyone's first suspect.”</b></span> She commented, wondering what reaction that would draw out.<br>
<br>
She couldn't help herself getting a tad more excited from seeing all those mecha's move. They were simply awesome, what else could she say? She tried to play it off cool, as if she wasn't getting hyped by seeing them move into position, but she wasn't a great actor. <br>
<br>
It was a tad surprising to hear Jez ask after the hair colour. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Yes, he does. A grey-ish white, like his brother and sister.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
A parasitic monster. The thought alone made her veins feel itchy. Having things craw through her body like that.........<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“It'd be rather unfortunate, yes.”</b></span> She replied to Kane. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“We haven't even gone out to drink yet.”</b></span> She added. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“First round will be on me.”</b></span> She figured setting such a <s>death flag</s> promise might be good, as he'd earned it.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“A sacrifice... for great power...”</b></span> That was about all she could make from what was on the statue. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Sounds like the people lured in for the execution were going to be a sacrifice then?”</b></span> That seemed like the most logical conclusion. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Which means we might be in luck, with just soldiers here right now. Opening it shouldn't be too much of a risk, I hope.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Even so, the next revelation was surprising. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Eight?!?”</b></span> She asked, rather shocked. That was far more than she had ever imagined. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“That sounds like we'll need to flush out more than one... I wonder if lord Hoyles and his wife had gotten involved with this stage...”</b></span> It was worrying to say the least. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“We'll have to use whatever we can get from it later, in that case.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Needlessly to say, Victorique would indeed want to get a <i>very</i> good distance away should something happen upon opening the portal. She was not a fighter, which she'd make clear many times over. That said, she did have one advantage. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“SWARM OF TENDRILS INBOUND!!!”</b></span> She called out as loudly as she could, the moment her future sight revealed it to her. That should get everyone ready... hopefully. <br>
<br>
One of the few other things she could do was to try estimate the tendril's strengths and weaknesses through her [Ultimate Detective] B. She'd call out any weakness or danger that she could spot with it, hoping to at least be of some use. <br>
<br>
Ultimate Detective – Appraisal B Heightened Senses [Hearing/Sight/Smell/Taste/Balance] B, Insight D, Investigation D, Perception C, Law D, Energised B – Character combines all their applicable senses and knowledge to get to the bottom of a mysteries or to be on high alert for clues, dangers or hints. - Grade Be – 3 Post Cooldown.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Perched comfortably at the table, Gyld’s bright green feathers seemed to shimmer subtly in the warm light of the tavern. His golden eyes gleamed with interest as he watched Professor Neco make his order, his head tilting slightly in a characteristic owl-like manner.<br>
<br>
"This fish...dried, Professor?" Gyld commented, his voice carrying a hint of thoughtfulness. "Maybe, but bread? The idea of spiced dried fish might sound tempting. Perhaps I'll snag a taste, if you're willing to share. Pass on the bread."<br>
<br>
Gyld's gaze then wandered around the tavern, taking in the sights and sounds. The warmth of the fireplace cast a cozy glow over the patrons, highlighting the variety of characters that filled the room. Warriors in battered armor laughed heartily at a nearby table, while a group of young mages animatedly discussed their latest exploits. The air was rich with the aroma of spiced dishes and the sound of clinking mugs.<br>
<br>
"So, Professor, this place certainly has its charm," Gyld observed, turning his attention back to Neco. "It attracts many adventurers. Is it the warmth, then? Food, hopefully, it's for the food." Cocking his head back and forth, "Or the lively tales?"<br>
<br>
Professor Neco said, “I suppose I hadn’t given it too much thought until now, I think that is certainly something we all can aspire too, as we all go on our adventures in our own right whether there’s an epic battle or not.”<br>
<br>
Just then, the bard struck up a new tune, a melody that seemed to resonate with the soul of Rotia. Gyld listened intently for a moment, his head cocking to the side as he absorbed the music. "Music like this," he mused, "it could be better if it was about us, don't you think? It could be so much more, a magical thread weaving through the hearts of all present."<br>
<br>
Professor Neco said, “I’m certain with what I've seen that they’ll be singing of your adventures in the future if what happened today is any sign of what is to come.”<br>
<br>
As they waited for their meals, Gyld engaged in light conversation with the Professor, discussing everything from the peculiarities of Rotian cuisine to the various adventures and characters they had encountered. His demeanor was relaxed yet observant, and every so often, his eyes would dart to the entrance, as if expecting more interesting individuals to walk in at any moment.<br>
<br>
After some time the waiter came back with their orders, including the fresh as possible mice and voles as well as what appeared to be some spiced oils and sauce blends for Gyld to consume them with in small dishes around the larger wooden crafted bowl. Some water had also been fetched for the group’s table.<br>
<br>
Professor Neco’s fish were arranged in a similar styled bowl, with the addition of a generous amount of bread. The mead arrived shortly thereafter to which Professor Neco offered to pour some for either of his dining companions first and foremost.<br>
<br>
Gyld, perched with an air of predatory anticipation, watched as the waiter approached with their orders. His instinctive nature, always attuned to the nuances of the hunt, made him lean forward slightly, his eyes locking onto the bowl of fresh mice and voles. The sight of his prey, albeit served in a more civilized manner, awakened the primal part of his being, a reminder of his true nature as a natural predator.<br>
<br>
"Ah, excellent," Gyld remarked, his voice carrying a hint of bestial eagerness rather than the usual mirth. He peered at the spiced oils and sauce blends, considering them with a predator's calculating gaze. "This will do nicely. Thank you."<br>
<br>
As Professor Neco began to pour the mead, Gyld's attention momentarily shifted. "No mead for me, Professor. Water suits my current form just fine," he said, his tone more focused than playful. His eyes then drifted back to his bowl, the anticipation of the feast reflecting in his golden gaze.<br>
<br>
Professor Neco said, “Before I get going into this lovely spread fully, I just wanted to also say Gyld, I appreciate the great kindness you’ve shown It is a quality which will take you far.”<br>
<br>
Upon hearing Professor Neco's words of appreciation, Gyld paused and looked at him. His expression softened slightly, but the fierce, bestial intensity remained. "Your words are appreciated, Professor," he replied, his voice tinged with a sense of dutiful seriousness. "Kindness is a strength, not a weakness. Better to be kind than nice. Nice is the conceit of civilization, but kindness is expressed through action."<br>
<br>
Gyld then turned his attention back to his meal. With a swift, precise movement, he picked up a vole, dipping it into one of the spiced sauces. He was mindful of the Professor and Phoebe's presence, but his actions were driven by instinct, quick and unhesitating. It was clear that, while he valued their company and the warmth of the tavern, his essence was tied to the wild, to the thrill of the hunt, and to the fulfillment of his duties as a guardian.</div>

Kane chuckled a bit once again when he saw the bit of excitement on Victorique’s face, yeah at the end of the day they were pretty badass he thought to himself.<br>
<br>
Jez nodded, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Unfortunately it sounds like at least one of them might have gotten caught up in this mess then.” </span><br>
<br>
Kane grinned at hearing her say that,<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)"> “Very well then, I’ll hold you too if we survive this whole thing. Don’t worry I’ll vouch for ya to make it happen if I have too.”</span>He replied, probably commenting on the fact of how youthful she looked. was pretty used to taking each day of existence as it came, since in the Kingdom of Rotia each day wasn’t a given it felt like for many, himself included. Granted his job wasn’t even the worst, that was one part of it he was content with.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“With the square cleared from word getting around and soldiers nearby  I believe this is probably  our safest opportunity.”</span><br>
<br>
Jez nodded once more.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Perhaps they got involved in occult well beyond their understanding, as for who, I hope there will be more information to ascertain beyond this portal which will lead us to the answer. I have a strong feeling we will be able to gain enough identifiers if not full names.”</span><br>
<br>
When the swarm of tendrils came through Kane’s immediate reaction was to take a defensive stance between the tendrils and Victorique, thankfully he gave her enough of a sight line to continue to assess them. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“We’re dealing with something big...If this starts going bad, I think you know what to do like last time..” </span>He said turning to her, the serious look a stark change from his usual  less caring edgy one which he had maintained earlier.<br>
<br>
The shield spear wall of Mechas immediately rushed forward, extended energy barriers coming off of their shields to help contain the tendrils so that they couldn’t grab onto the living beings still in the vicinity. Jez appeared to cast some sort of purplish magic once more creating a barrier over herself like a dome.<br>
<br>
 Victorique’s ability tuned her into the fact that the tendrils reminded her of being somewhat plant like, like something one might find in the Fae See even, so as a result of this information being shared, one of the central most spears illuminated in a large orangey glow, and from their tip an intense flame was generated setting many of the tendrils on fire. Just like that suddenly an incredibly large bulbous white as snow mushroom monster appeared to emerge from the portal, at the very least in the <b>[Large] </b>class, taller than the mechas.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)">Large Mushroom Monster</span></b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/screenshot-2023-12-04-at-12-09-27-am-png.1128836/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1065/1065965-50f1d1bcb4303ad3853c26eeab5bb3ae.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Screenshot 2023-12-04 at 12.09.27 AM.png" title="Screenshot 2023-12-04 at 12.09.27 AM.png" width="100" height="151" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
<span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><b>“#WHERE IS MY SACRIFICE#” </b></span>The monster bellowed in horrible sounding shrek, not having any discernible eye features, instead a large gaping mouth like structure was present, many of the tendrils coming from the back of its body, makeshift like appendages jutting off of it.<br>
<br>
More tendrils began to shoot from under the ground under the barrier and grabbed onto one of the suits before trying to pull it down to the ground, a struggle taking place, until it was hit with more fire causing it to let out another sound of great anger, <br>
<br>
Kane winced as the sound was very unpleasant, and Victorique with her very enhanced hearing probably wasn’t having a good time either, even Jez who had been so stoic was hearing it.  Even as it’s body burned it seemed like the monster was passively regenerating itself, it was a battle of attrition at the moment. <br>
<br>
There was some sort of dark space reflected in the portal which details were difficult to discern from being far away and not inside..that would definitely be interesting to investigate. Kane looked at it and his vision went back to Victorique. His mind and posture suggested he was thinking about getting into the portal, but it was obviously too dangerous to do such.<br>

Professor Neco proceeded to share the bread.<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)"> “Of course my friend.” </span>the artisan bread was quite well made and would be appealing to most tastes. The warmth enjoyable in the merriment which was taking place.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“I think it’s pretty  safe to say that it is likely both of these things, the life of an adventurer can be pretty rough in Rotia with there being so many monsters to slay, places like these have wide appeal after they’ve returned from their quests and want to use their spoils to just relax and think of better times.”</span><br>
<br>
Professor Neco looked like he genuinely enjoyed the conversation with Gyld, as well as any conversation which Phoebe may have made along with them.<br>
<br>
The waiter gave a slight bow, seemingly a bit relieved that he had brought back something which was up to standards, before telling them to just let him know if they needed anything else.<br>
<br>
Professor Neco Nodded,<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)"> “Very well then Gyld, if you’d like some Phoebe you are more than welcome to partake I find it’s quite pleasant at the end of days like these.”</span><br>
<br>
The good professor was receptive to Gyld’s response to his words,<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)"> “You craft your words well, I feel that I speak the truth, and I am pleased that you have taken to them well.”</span><br>
<br>
Presumably all of the food the table ordered had been quite good, and they had spent some time in merriment reflecting on the day, and enjoying good food and drink. Professor Neco sharing his grub and drink with any who felt inclined to try it, quite enthusiastic in his consumption. <br>
---<br>
When all was said and done and Professor Neco had paid for the table on their way out the trio was headed back toward the square. The streets once again much more barren and in the distance it wasn’t hard to see that there were some Mechas which were in the street, and that’s when the loud shrieking sound permeated, even they could hear it.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“That sounds like a monster..” </span>Professor Neco proclaimed, his ears twitching. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“People might be in trouble..Phoebe, Gyld, a monster may have breached the walls, and even with my survival instinct, given what we were capable of earlier we  should investigate and see if it’s feasible we can help out..”</span><br>
<br>
An orangey glow lighting up the street a bit in the distance closer to the square.<br>
<br>
The professor looked pretty serious in that moment as he began to move quickly toward the source in the square, and stopping when it came into view in the distance…presuming Gyld and or Phoebe followed they’d see the mecha show down with the large  white mushroom monster abomination which was burning.<br>

She scoffed at him vouching for her to get their drinks. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I've convinced enough fools to get tobacco before. Drinks shouldn't be much tougher.”</b></span> She replied, figuring she'd get it done with ease.<br>
<br>
The promise of full names and identifiers beyond the portal was surely alluring. <br>
<br>
Kane's warning made her smirk. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Of course.”</b></span> Run. That was what she was second-best at, directly after investigating. She hoped her warning ahead of time had at least gotten everyone ready to intercept this thing.<br>
<br>
One of the mecha's burning the tendrils was a great sigh. Yet... the [Large] thing, even taller than the mecha's, was not. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“That's... not good.”</b></span> It was creepy as all <s>isekai</s> hell.<br>
<br>
Ah, but there was a chance. It spoke. If it spoke, it would listen. If it would listen, it could be distracted. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I'm going to do something risky, to see if I can distract it, so don't intercept it. If needed I'll run instead.”</b></span> She quickly mentioned to Kane. She didn't want him to start feeling heroic and making unnecessary sacrifices.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“#Your sacrifice has been cancelled! The ones preparing it couldn't make it!#”</b></span> She called out to the monster. <br>
<br>
It's whining and raging made her ears hurt, which annoyed her further. That's when she spotted Kane's line of sight. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Feeling suicidal already?”</b></span> She clicked her tongue. Still, he was onto something. This thing seemed to regenerate. Perhaps from something beyond that portal? So if she could just grab that and [Pocket Dimension] it or something....<br>
<br>
She could get in there with ease. The question was, would she be able to get out again? This monster was big, but probably, maybe, hopefully, also slow. Her future sigh made her spot the tendrils with ease. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I guess I have an investigation to wrap-up.”</b></span> She grimaced, as she proceeded to use [Halfling Parkour+] C to make her way past the mecha's, tendrils and giant. Considering she was rather [Fast] and could run and bounce across surfaces, the mecha's themselves became a playing field. Hoping to use her Precognition to doge any possible tendrils, the goal was clear: make it through the portal in one piece in order to investigate the other side. Hopefully she'd not end upt running into more enemies there and hopefully she'd be getting out alive. She was already running when she realised all that and wondered, for a second 'what in the world am I doing?' yet it was already too late. She'd already committed now. Hopefully [Lucky F] would be on her side.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Gyld's head swiveled sharply towards the source of the sound, his owl form perfectly suited for pinpointing the direction of the disturbance. The piercing shriek cut through the night, sending a shiver down his spine – not of fear, but of anticipation. His predatory instincts, always simmering beneath the surface, now surged to the forefront.<br>
<br>
"Indeed, Professor," Gyld replied, his voice laced with a primal eagerness. "That is no ordinary cry. It's a call to the hunt." His golden eyes gleamed in the dim light of the street, reflecting a mix of excitement and readiness.<br>
<br>
As they hurried towards the commotion, Gyld's keen eyes scanned the surroundings. The presence of Mechas in the street suggested that the situation was serious. The mechanical giants were usually deployed for significant threats, and the shrieking monster certainly qualified.<br>
<br>
Gyld's senses heightened at the sight of the chaos unfolding in the square. The scene was a cacophony of sounds and a flurry of movement that piqued his instincts as a guardian. The sight of the Mechas engaged in a showdown with a monstrous, burning white mushroom creature was both bizarre and alarming.<br>
<br>
He followed closely as Professor Neco moved quickly toward the source of the commotion. His owl form allowed him to keep pace easily, his head swiveling to take in every detail of the scene unfolding before them. As they neared, the creature’s bellow resonated in Gyld's ears, its demand for a sacrifice sending a ripple of disgust through him.<br>
<br>
“#WHERE IS MY SACRIFICE#,” the monster’s voice boomed, its form lacking discernible eyes, instead featuring a large, gaping maw. Tendrils shot out from its body, grappling with the Mechas in a grotesque dance of violence.<br>
<br>
Gyld’s eyes narrowed as he observed the struggle. The sight of the tendrils pulling down one of the Mecha suits, only to recoil in pain from the onslaught of fire, painted a vivid picture of the battle's intensity. The dark space reflected in the portal near the creature beckoned with a sinister allure, suggesting dimensions of danger they had yet to understand.<br>
<br>
Gyld turned to Professor Neco, his voice serious yet tinged with the excitement of the imminent challenge. "Professor, this is no ordinary beast. It's a perversion of nature," he stated. "We must tread carefully. It’s dangerous, but if there’s a chance we can help, we should take it."<br>
<br>
With a determined flap of his wings, Gyld transformed from his owl form into the more formidable owlbear guise. His larger form bristled with readiness, his eyes scanning the area for an opening to engage the creature. The primal part of him was ready for the confrontation, eager to protect and to fight against this abomination that threatened the peace of the city.<br>
<br>
Gyld activated his Bark Skin ability. His skin began to harden, transforming into a tough, wood-like barrier interspersed with thorns. This natural armor was not just a shield; it was a weapon in its own right. Anyone who dared to touch him would find themselves repelled, injured by the sharp thorns and irritated by the potent natural toxins they carried.<br>
<br>
With each step, he was ready to engage the monster, to protect the city and its inhabitants from this aberration, embodying the true spirit of a guardian of the Eternal Glade.<br>
<br>
Amidst the chaotic backdrop of the monster-infested street and the towering Mechas, Gyld prepared to unleash one of his most formidable abilities against the mushroom monstrosity. The air around him began to thrum with the power of the Eternal Glade, resonating with the solemn spirit of autumn and decay.<br>
<br>
Gyld's deep, resonant voice cut through the noise of the battlefield. "In the dance of predator and prey, the wise hunter knows the power of nature's ebb," he intoned, his eyes fixed on the mushroom creature. As he spoke, his form seemed to blur, becoming one with the natural forces he commanded.<br>
<br>
Drawing on the affinity for Autumn and Decay, Gyld summoned the essence of Autumn's Lament. The air around him shimmered with the colors of fall – deep oranges, reds, and browns – as a mist of decay began to form. The scent of rot and the melancholy of passing seasons filled the air, a palpable force of nature that emanated from Gyld.<br>
<br>
The mist, swirling with the potency of blight, surged towards the monstrous entity. It moved with a life of its own, guided by Gyld's will, seeking out the creature's vulnerabilities. The homing nature of the ability ensured that it tracked and followed the target relentlessly, weaving through the chaos of the battlefield.<br>
<br>
Upon contact with the mushroom monster, the mist clung to it, initiating a rapid process of decay. The blight enhanced the attack, causing the creature's form to wither and crumble wherever the mist touched. The continuing effect of the decay was relentless, breaking down the monster's structure, ensuring that the damage was not only immediate but persisting.<br>
<br>
Gyld, observing the effect of his attack, targeted specific points on the creature's body. His keen perception, honed by his connection to the Eternal Glade, allowed him to identify the weakest areas. Each strike was calculated and precise, a 'hot shot' that doubled the damage inflicted, exploiting the very essence of the creature's being.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">Kane Blackburne<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/crop-1-1-1-1-jpg.1129760/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1066/1066889-dd24894ecc7f82a7319ffe3d22cc8746.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="crop-1-1-1-1.jpg" title="crop-1-1-1-1.jpg" width="100" height="204" loading="lazy"></a></span></b>​</div>Kane likely grinned at her scoffing about the drinks. He was pleased to hear she was understanding of what needed to happen if she was in danger, even if in many ways she had superior abilities to him it felt like in many areas, he still had an upper hand in dishing out pain.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Trusting you so far has been pretty good..”</span> He replied with a nod. Even if it went against his intuition, he’d just have to bare it and listen with Victorique putting herself at additional risk. Truthfully what was he supposed to do against something so large? It wasn’t like he had the strength or power to cut it down with his axe, he wasn’t even sure if he knew an executioner who could do a feat like that..perhaps his father during his prime..from what he had been told from others, but it really wasn’t in the job description.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)">Large Mushroom Monster<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/screenshot-2023-12-04-at-12-09-27-am-png.1129761/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1066/1066890-50f1d1bcb4303ad3853c26eeab5bb3ae.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Screenshot 2023-12-04 at 12.09.27 AM.png" title="Screenshot 2023-12-04 at 12.09.27 AM.png" width="100" height="151" loading="lazy"></a></span></b>​</div><br>
<span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)">“#WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY SACRIFICE HAS BEEN CANCELED? THOSE FOOLS. I WILL CONSUME ALL WHO OPPOSE MY WILL.#” </span><br>
<br>
It screamed back at Victorique.In a way it really did sound like it was having a temper tantrum of sorts. Thankfully while it had been looking to her, somewhat distracted it gave some leeway for the mechas to move in closer and through a joint effort start stabbing it with their spears which were now all flaming with some kind of bluish flaming blight it looked like, of course eliciting further screaming as it tried to flail against them, the barrier taking continued hits, it was pretty unlikely it was going to last forever.<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Jez<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/ce5f652f2048cabf8b5761047a7a8847-jpg.1129762/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1066/1066891-f8d10e8bc5035ae53b0e732aae41adc1.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="ce5f652f2048cabf8b5761047a7a8847.jpg" title="ce5f652f2048cabf8b5761047a7a8847.jpg" width="100" height="111" loading="lazy"></a></span></b>​</div><br>
<br>
All things considered given the situation Kane looked pretty focused. While he and Victorique were having their exchange it looked like Jez casted some more magic, placing individualized purplish energized domes around the mechas perhaps as additional protection.<br>
<br>
While that was going on Kane had a bit of a  grin again, <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“I dunno, it just seems like there might be something there that the conspirators wouldn’t want us to see if that’s where the monsters are from..just a hunch.”</span><br>
<br>
Thankfully with a combination of Victorique’s well laid distraction there weren’t many tendrils even headed her way as it looked like the monster was enraged with it’s foes who were harming it. Some Lucky and parkour skills didn’t hurt either, since even the tendrils that did head her way were few and did not pose a threat to her superior speed.<br>
<br>
Kane felt that he’d be better off getting into the portal too alongside Victroique so he could at least help protect her from whatever might be in there..as a friend he felt it was only the right thing to do..but he didn’t have that speed..he glanced over at the mushroom monster beating against the barrier and being focused on the the mechas..before he too eventually decided to just say screw it and run toward the portal, albeit at a much less impressive rate.<br>
<br>
With the few slower distracted tendrils that came his way he managed to cut them down before he too went through the portal.<br>
----<br>
Upon entering the portal which Victorique got through a deal before Kane, what was in the large stone chamber was probably pretty disconcerting to say the least. There was a sizable occultish looking altar not far away from where she had entered the portal, and thankfully while there weren’t other monsters to see, there were around eight or so gray hooded figures kneeling down around the sizable altar. Similar  looking white strands to the ones seen so far  came from some strange floating white skull with a large white mushroom atop it, surrounded by a magical hue, perhaps a barrier of sorts. Only those with sensitivity or attunement  to magic could properly see the small rectangular barrier around the object. In addition the problematic tendrils all seemed to be wrapped around the individuals who were in some sort of prayer like trance state. There was blood on the altar, as well throughout the floor of the sizable stone chamber.  Many more of those short hand monster symbols were written throughout around the altar on talisman, and an ornate ceremonial dagger as well as strange white floating candles had also been placed on the altar.<br>
<br>
Given the odd object, perhaps Victorique’s thoughts about there being an object powering the monster up and helping it heal was accurate, however the scene did suggest there might be additional risk in triggering some kind of trap or perhaps waking the eight figures up. It was difficult to see beyond the chamber however  due to the incredibly dim lighting as there were a few corridors leading off from the main room,<br>
<br>
Kane didn’t say a word looking over quietly to Victorique, sort of looking like he was unsure what to do at the moment, gripping his axe, as if looking at her for what the next best move was after realizing the potentially precarious situation that was going on.<br>

When they were on the scene Professor Neco appeared to flinch his ears turning down from how loud the sound was. Despite this the cat beast man was prone now, looking ready to jump into action, staying nearby Gyld’s proximity. Professor Neco’s eyes glowed a bit, looking like he was willing to partake in whatever the fight was going to result in as well.<br>
<br>
Professor Neco nodded in agreement at Gyld’s observation.<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)"> “I know that language anywhere..it’s definitely a monster, maybe a forest demon of sorts corrupted from far away..” He said seriously to Gyld after he said it was a perversion of nature.<br>
<br>
“I agree, our contributions may help turn the tide in favor of the guards..” </span><br>
<br>
While Gyld successfully transformed, Professor Neco appeared to gain large glowing green claws where claws would naturally be on a cat but on his hands instead, his eyes intensifying in the greenish hue, ears up and tail dynamic.<br>
<br>
Gyld’s bark skin ability successfully went off granting him addition protection from the [Large] threat.<br>
<br>
The owlbear’s appeal to the glade was successful as he successfully used Autum’s Lament on the large shroom.<br>
<br>
<br>
Professor Neco’s nose reflexively  twitched at the autumn scent. And that’s when the creature started to get a persistent rot on areas of it’s body which it was now having to heal along with the fire, it was safe to say it was quite encumbered, letting out more shreking sounds, tendrils of it failing to regenerate as they rotted away completely, rather than just in a constant state of burning. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Nice work Gyld!”</span> he called out before with a look of determination he made a clawing motion with his green energy claws and suddenly 10 large slashes radiating green appeared on the mushroom causing more shrieking, the slashes weren’t healing as well, and even then the decay was making the mushroom go more on the defensive, wrapping it’s tendrils around itself sort of like a cocoon now, as the Mechas moved in further at seeing this opportunity  and tried to bombard it further.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)">“#I WILL NOT YIELD! ALL WILL RETURN TO SOIL#” </span>It screamed out in monster again, suddenly a large sinister plume of smog and spores shot out from the top of it and began to rain down in the area.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“You may have some natural resistance to this Gyld but those who aren’t suited are vulnerable!</span> The good professor called out covering his mouth, looking over toward Jez who suddenly waved her hands around and a large gust of wind came from her fingertips blowing against the mushroom and helping to disperse some of the smog, but even with that she was now coughing up some blood, as was professor Neco, whose nose appeared to start bleeding a bit.<br>
<br>
Under normal circumstances this all  would have been enough to kill even  a monster of that size but unfortunately some were  intervening in a portal not so far away and supporting it in some capacity otherwise it’s regeneration wouldn’t have been nearly as oppressive, nevertheless it was on the fence now, with some more pushing and luck they could collectively fell the monster.<br>

Her distraction of the mushroom thing had only been temporary, but that was only for the better. That meant her second plan, of going through the portal, was a lot easier to execute.  Sprinting through the tendrils and past the battle almost felt excited. Perhaps it was [Lightfoot Halfling] in her that just really loved to go fast and through danger. Having hopped through the portal, she got to see an interesting scene. It reminded her of some of the weird stuff she'd expected from The Underbelly in Ryke. She's quickly look around, trying to commit the scene to her [Eidetic Memory].<br>
 <br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Ew...”</b></span> She muttered, as she spotted the floating skull. That was rather gross. She didn't spot the magic, but she did spot the tendrils. All in all, it reminded her a bit of an Indiana Jones movie. Take the skull and shit will hit the fan quickly. She'd put a week's worth of Tobacco on that being the case. The blood reminded her of some situations she'd been through in the Underbelly as well. Those weren't nice memories. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Fancy seeing you here.”</b></span> She mumbled, surprised to learn that Kane had followed her. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Here's what I'm thinking. I'll rush through the room, grab whatever seems of importance, stuff it in my [Pocket Dimension] and hand it to Jez. We get out of here as quickly as we can, before trouble gets bad, so you'd best stick near the portal. That sound about right?”</b></span> She'd ask him.<br>
<br>
If he were to agree, she'd put said plan in motion. She'd intend to parkour he way through the room with some Halfling Parkour B and anticipate the enemies movements with some Precognition F. Her first target to put in her [Pocket Dimension D] were the talisman, dagger and candles. Simple stuff, but possibly of use. The main thing to grab, however, was the floating skull. Gross and creepy as it was. With some luck, the barrier wouldn't be able to do much if the thing got Pocketed in its entirety into Victorique's [Pocket Dimension], barrier and all, as she was incapable of perceiving it to begin with. If she'd get her desired 'loot' she'd rush out again to go present it to Jez on the other side of the portal. <br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Gyld, driven by his instinctive and impulsive nature, did not hesitate to dive headlong into the fray. He tapped into the deep well of power granted by his domain. His body, already impressive in its owlbear form, began to grow, muscles expanding and fur thickening. The transformation was not just a change in size but a fusion of the fierce spirit of the North with the mystical essence of the Eternal Glade.<br>
<br>
Gyld's fur, once a blend of earthy tones, now took on the pure, snow-white hue of the North's fiercest predators, interspersed with vibrant streaks of emerald green that shimmered like the leaves of the deepest forest. This stark contrast of colors was a visual testament to the union of two powerful realms within him.<br>
<br>
The owlish features that once prominently defined his face now subtly blended into his bear form, providing a hint of his multifaceted nature. His eyes, previously large and round, took on a more intense and piercing quality, glowing with an otherworldly light that spoke of ancient wisdom and untamed wilderness.<br>
<br>
As Gyld grew to his full height of 16 feet, his presence became overwhelming. Weighing close to 2 tons, each step he took caused the ground to tremble under his weight. His paws, massive and powerful, were now equipped with razor-sharp claws capable of tearing through the toughest hide or armor. The transformation imbued him not just with immense physical strength but also with a deep, intrinsic connection to the natural world around him.<br>
<br>
Now in his full majestic form, Gyld exuded an aura of primal authority. His every movement was a blend of grace and power, a testament to his status as a guardian of both the Eternal Glade and the Northern wilderness. Ready to face the monstrous threat before him, Gyld stood as a towering figure, a protector whose duty was to preserve the balance of nature against corruption and perversion.<br>
<br>
The battlefield was a maelstrom of chaos, with Professor Neco and Gyld at the heart of it. Gyld's large form moved with surprising agility for its size, his every step causing the ground beneath him to tremble. The sharp thorns of his bark skin bristled menacingly, ready to repel any physical attack that dared come close.<br>
<br>
As the mushroom creature wrapped its tendrils around itself in a defensive cocoon, Gyld saw his opportunity. "This is it," he roared, his voice booming over the din of battle. "I'll push now!"<br>
<br>
With a ferocious battle cry, Gyld charged at the cocooned monster. His powerful legs propelled him forward, the Forest Stride ability allowing him to maneuver effortlessly through the chaotic battlefield. <br>
<br>
Professor Neco's efforts, along with Jez's, had weakened the creature, but Gyld knew they had to end this quickly. The spores and smog threatened to turn the tide against them. Gyld’s resilience to such natural assaults was a boon, but he was acutely aware of the danger it posed to his companions.<br>
<br>
"Watch this!" he bellowed to Professor Neco and Jez, concerned for their safety. <br>
<br>
He barreled straight for the cocooned form, trying to hit it straight on with super strength. <br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Thankfully even with Victorique’s first comment none of the hoods appeared to react, were they in some kind of trance? Were they even conscious? It was pretty difficult to tell given the way they were hooded.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">Kane Blackburne<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/crop-1-1-1-1-1-jpg.1131975/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1069/1069104-dd24894ecc7f82a7319ffe3d22cc8746.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="crop-1-1-1-1-1.jpg" title="crop-1-1-1-1-1.jpg" width="100" height="204" loading="lazy"></a></span></b>​</div><br>
Kane looked to Victorique upon her fancy seeing you here line, giving her a quiet nod, before  listening intently to what she had to say as far as a plan was concerned, since he really wasn’t entirely sure what to do in such a precarious situation like this. While her plan sounded logical he wasn’t too thrilled to hear that it didn’t involve him keeping her safe in some capacity which was part of the reason he had come, but he supposed standby as back up wasn’t horrible, if she needed help he could still step in to assist, so it was probably better he had come in through the portal regardless.<br>
<br>
For now he stayed neared the portal with his axe drawn just in case things started to get ugly, after all this place looked absolutely ripe for ugly…<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Alright, I’ll try my best to help make sure it all happens then.” </span>He replied sincerely.<br>
<br>
As Victorique used her small stature and great agility to maneuver through the strange space, she’d have no difficulty pocketing the smaller evidence pieces with her pocket dimension. However with her precognition she’d see that just after successfully pocket dimensioning the strange skull relic that the hooded figures started to stir almost immediately grasping at their sides to draw similar daggers without saying a word in a robotic like fashion almost like they were in a trance. While she got a look at each item the appraisal part of her parkour ability triggered letting her see that the candles in fact did have magic properties, as did the skull which was some sort relic which had a sinister aura to too it, and the dagger which looked like it had some sort of curse on it. Thankfully she greatly out speeded the figures, before they had a chance to properly react as she successfully exited the portal seeing the chaos that was still unfolding outside.<br>
<br>
Instead of attacking the group Kane followed quickly after through the portal, but not until he noticed how strangely they were possessing, wondering if they were still under the  Mushroom monster’s influence.<br>
<br>
On the way out as Victorique headed to Jez she’d see the chaos which was unfolding, between the now thinly dispersed spores, the mechas advancing and trying to pierce the now cocooned mushroom, as well as a certain owlbear charging forward toward it. She’d also take notice of Jez’s worsened condition since she went in, with the blood coming out of the pale woman’s nose as she got close, as well as her coughing. Presuming Victorique showed her all the stuff Jez’s eyes widened upon seeing the skull.<br>
<br>
Kane looked a bit tense at this development, he wasn’t sure how badly Jez had been hurt nor was he really capable of helping her condition.<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Jez<br>

<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“It’s worse than I thought..someone made a monster idol to support the creature...they used a ritual..as suggested by the dagger…the candles”</span> She said as she tried her best to regain her breath.<br>
Kane stood nearby with weapon drawn between the pair and the fight that was still happening close by.<br>
<br>
The good news was that even as intense as the fight was getting outside at the moment that Victorique had removed the skull into her pocket dimension off of the occultist altar, the battle started to turn around.<br>
<br>
Gyld would take note that the decay started to work more effectively breaking down material more properly on the large Mushroom Monster making it more vulnerable. Not only that but thankfully Professor Neco had been correct in his assessment that Gyld found himself unaffected by the poison.<br>
<br>
Even if it wasn’t obvious some of those who had been piloting the mechas were incredibly surprised when they noticed Gyld who grew much larger, like a Kaiju of sorts in his own right.<br>
<br>
The monster tried to send some more tendrils Gyld’s way to little effect between them burning and rotting.<br>
<br>

<span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">“#STAY AWAY! STAY AWAY! YOU WILL PERISH!#”</span> it screamed out loudly again, even though it seemingly didn’t have much to back up those words at all.<br>
<br>
Upon hearing Gyld exclaiming to watch him, Jez looked over at the owlbear, even her eyes widening a bit at the sight as he charged forward to use super strength on the monster.<br>
<br>
Kane found himself looking over that way too.<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)"> “I’m glad he’s on our side.”</span> He commented passively, with a bit of a  dark chuckle once again.<br>
<br>

Giving the owlbear his blessing to go for it looked like, the Mechas at that point seeing the large bear come forward new well enough to move so that they weren’t in the path, and then Gyld smashed right into the tall monster causing it to let out another defiant scream, this time a central part of its body being crushed and thankfully not regenerating quickly as the whole thing toppled over to the ground writhing around under Gyld, burning, rotting and very obviously at this point finally looking like it was  dying and had been critically wounded, tendrils now batting harmlessly against Gyld.<br>
<br>
From there the mechas surrounded the writhing body with their spears pointed toward it just in case, as if a way to further contain it out of precaution.  Finally it looked like the scene was de-escalating, but even if the monster had been dealt with the hooded figures with the daggers certainly hadn't on the other side of the portal.<br>

<br>
A combination of guessing what might happen and having precognition made things rather predictable. Even so, she was that that she managed to grab all she wanted and make a run for it. When she saw Kane following her out of the portal, she sighed. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Whew, that was a tad bit more excitement than I bargained for.”</b></span> She might've played it cool, grabbing all things and running, but her heart felt like it was beating loudly in her chest. That'd been pretty scary. <br>
<br>
She also noted Jez wasn't looking all that well, although there wasn't much she could do to help there. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Is there any way to stop this or turn it against them or something? Do we destroy the skull? Try to cure or defeat those cultist folk? Can we just undo this ritual thing?”</b></span> She asked, having no clue what else to do other than to hope that Jez had an answer. She really hoped the woman would've had some answers, something to act upon, but it seemed like she was struggling to gather her bearings overall. Victorique looked around to see what else she might be able to contribute and...<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Whhhaaa?!?</b></span> She outed upon suddenly seeing a giant bear-like thing barging into the mushroom. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I.. eh, yes... our side... good, good.”</b></span> She mumbled, having thought she'd turn from mushroom feed into an owlbear snack soon. To her surprise, the owlbear was taking the mushroom down with surprising ease. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Wow...”</b></span><br>
<br>
That meant there was one less danger to worry about. It only left them another question. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“How should we proceed to deal with the ones that summoned this whole thing? Any chance to cure them and bring them before a judge, or would it be best to blow up the whole place by throwing some explosives or something through the portal? We've already got our evidence of what happened...”</b></span> It clearly showed she wasn't a fighter at all, as she had no clue what to do now. Finding suspects was her thing, not battling or apprehending them.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">In the thick of the battle, Gyld, now a towering and majestic creature, sensed his moment to deliver a decisive blow. The Mushroom Monster, weakened and on the brink of defeat, presented the perfect target for his dramatic final assault. Channeling his inner cinematic hero, Gyld reared up, his massive form casting a formidable shadow over the battlefield.<br>
<br>
Clutching white chunks of the mushroom monster in its talons, his head reared up at the sky for a moment as dark green energy coalesced from the tip of his tail, rolling up his body, and bursting in his chest. The depths of the [Northern Eternal Glade] pooled and collected in his chest.<br>
<br>
 Gyld roared, "<span style="font-size: 26px">Gyaoooooooon</span>"<br>
<br>
As he unleashed his [Venom Stream] ability. From his gaping maw, a torrent of potent venom spewed forth, a deadly stream directed squarely at the faltering Mushroom Monster. The venom, imbued with the power of blight and decay, was a vivid manifestation of Gyld’s mastery over his domain.<br>
<br>
As the venom made contact, it began its corrosive work. The venom adhered to the creature like jelly on toast, penetrating into exposed cracks and seeping into every pore and tendril.<br>
<br>
As the creature writhed beneath him, its efforts to regenerate futile, Gyld stood triumphant.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">The large Mushroom creature was thoroughly devastated by Gyld’s kaiju like venom stream attack, essentially causing the remainder of it’s form to fail  and reduce into a puddle of monster mushroom mush all signs of life leaving the monster.The large sound he made surprised some of the fullers as well as those in the surrounding area who weren't expecting it. Thankfully upon realizing it was just him they were<br>
<br>
<br>
When everything had settled considerably one of the mecha pilots who seemed to have a young masculine voice called out to Gyld, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">“Thanks for your help! That was a tough one!” </span>using common. Indeed it had been, if Gyld had not helped stall and finish it off it was dubious how long the mechas would have been able to hold it down with the monster which was being supported by the ritualistic monster idol which had been created.<br>
<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">Kane Blackburne<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/crop-1-1-1-1-1-jpg.1133322/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1070/1070451-dd24894ecc7f82a7319ffe3d22cc8746.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="crop-1-1-1-1-1.jpg" title="crop-1-1-1-1-1.jpg" width="100" height="204" loading="lazy"></a></span></b>​</div>Kane was a bit surpirsed himself from the loud sound looking up at it quickly, before realizing it was just the owlbear. Almost letting out a small sigh of relief, seeing the Mushroom get completely destroyed was reassuring.<br>
Kane then looked over at Victorique,<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)"> "My hunch is that whatever that skull thing you removed from the altar weakened the monster thing, based on what she said,  but until she stops coughing her innards out it'll be hard to say."</span><br>
<br>
With the scene finally clearing up adrenaline still likely going hard for many, Kane felt like he could finally speak up about the second key piece of what was going on.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“That cat looking beast guy over there could use some help, so could the dark magic using lady! They got hit by the monster’s poison, if anyone knows about that sort of thing I think it’d come in handy, and there’s some really suspicious hooded figures in there acting like zombies, you guys should probably go take care of them!”</span> Kane called out, to which a nearby group of spear-wielding guards appeared receptive too. They assumed formation and moved into the portal. In addition a white cloaked figure with a bone wand  wand who was probably a mage followed.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile presumably a healer who looked similar to a priest in blue and white garb with a nice looked wooden catalyst with a blue gem stone socketed at the top came over  and called Professor Neco over toward where Jez was and began to assess the two of them before taking out what looked like two glass ornate potions which had some sort of green liquid in it before handing one to each of them, presumably some sort of anti-venom to which they both drank.<br>
<br>
Thankfully the poisoning symptoms appeared to go away not long after Jez and Professor Neco drank the respective potions.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">Professor Neco</span></b><br>

He then got closer to where Gyld was and looked up at his large form.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“You did it! You’ve had quite the productive day with all this fighting, now you’ve gone and helped to save this place and my very life, this I had not for seen in my visions, the day only becomes more exciting my friend, you’ve certainly earned a rest if you’d like one. I’m not too sure what you plan on doing now, but I do believe that an evaluation and judgment will unfold soon if you wish to spectate the aftermath of what our contribution led to, if not we can be on our way I imagine.”</span><br>
<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Jez<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/ce5f652f2048cabf8b5761047a7a8847-1-jpg.1133325/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1070/1070454-f8d10e8bc5035ae53b0e732aae41adc1.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="ce5f652f2048cabf8b5761047a7a8847-1.jpg" title="ce5f652f2048cabf8b5761047a7a8847-1.jpg" width="100" height="111" loading="lazy"></a></span></b>​</div>Now that she was able to speak up again, Jez thanked the healer and looked to Victorique,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “No you actually did everything perfectly, you gathered the relevant evidence which we need to make the case..and by removing that idol from it’s altar you made it so that it’s power was no longer operational, allowing the others to take down the monster..”<br>
<br>
“Each element of evidence you took supports the idea that whoever those hoods were conspired together to power up that monster and summon it as you say..”</span><br>
<br>
She replied to Victorique.<br>
<br>
<br>
Kane found himself letting out a bit more of a laugh rather than a typical chuckle, like what Victorique had said really entertained him.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“I’m not sure everything you  heard about the Kingdom of Rotia, and wouldn’t things be easier if we could just throw something fun in that portal and call it a day, but while we infrequently have formal long term trials,  for a bit more complicated  important stuff like this they'll send a justiciar once the scene is deemed secured to obtain and  review whatever sourcs of information  are deemed relevant as they see fit before making a judgement. We’ll have a verdict pretty quickly I think between the  evidence you gathered and what others are as well."</span><br>
<br>
As if on clockwork it wasn’t too long before a group of now arrested with blue energy cuffs behind their backs and dehooded individuals showed up. From the lot of who could be recognized, surprisingly Lady Hoyles and Robert Hoyles,  were among those arrested, and there were a couple more than eight there who were not wearing cloaks, an Affonso Talton who looked like much of his garb had been stripped away so instead he had been given a rather plain cloak to wear to cover up, he looked nervous unlike his earlier serious and commonly disdainful look which he had held.<br>
<br>
This reveal resulted in some shocked explanations among some of the fuller pilots who had been fighting the monster, creating a hubbub as they looked to one another  and spoke through their communication channelss   <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">“That’s the brother of that Talton who's currently locked up! </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)">"I think I see the captain of the Night Guard!"</span><br>
<br>
None of the figures said a word, looks of fear on some, disdain from others.<br>
<br>
Kane was a bit surprised too, he looked to Victorique, <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“You don’t think that..He was..working with them all along” </span>He gestured to Robert. There were also some less familiar looking faces which aligned well with some of the hooded statures who Orchid had seen earlier and voices she had heard from them. There was also a lith man who looked like he could have been a peasant, pale, with hazel hair, and mocha eyes, he was however not wearing a hood like the others, but he too had been arrested.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Anyway I think it’s wise if we stick around for the time being and not just because I might have a little bit of a show coming up.” </span>Kane further added.<br>
<br>
<br>
Once the fullers moved around the area as did the other sorts of armed guards, Jez was instructed to close the portal off, by one of the guards.<br>
<br>
After some more time went by a couple  spear guards on foot  approached Gyld and Professor Neco and started to ask them the following questions.<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b>Evergate Guards</b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/af937d7e3297e106737d4112f75b763b-1-1-jpg.1133328/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1070/1070457-c8fdbc34e8a2c4994cad521f49f59bfa.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="af937d7e3297e106737d4112f75b763b-1-1.jpg" title="af937d7e3297e106737d4112f75b763b-1-1.jpg" width="100" height="170" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">“Where were you during the time that the attack initially started?” </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">“To the best of your recollection, what did the monster look like and what was it trying to achieve?”</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">“Were there any other details of importance about the battle which you would like to be submitted in the official report for this case?” </span>They appeared to be ready to record the answers manually with parchment and ink dip pen.<br>
<br>
The area was eventually deemed secure, after what felt like quite some time, a more noble bluish portal opened up toward the center, while the suspects were now being kept in a row near the head block platform facing outwardly.<br>
<br>
Three prominent looking figures exited the portal, first was a woman who appeared to be about 5’4 in height, dressed in nice formal attire suggesting she might be the Judge Kane had been speaking of.<br>
<br>
Next to her was a man who looked like perhaps he belonged to the Valcor Church faction, given the way he held his staff and had a smile on his face, it was likely he had casted the portal. He was about 5’11 or so.<br>
<br>
Then there was a very tall dark robed figure with some kind of metallic mask on his face who was about 6’5 in height, a rarity for a human indeed, his presence more intimidating than the others.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">???</span></b><br>

Upon seeing them Kane looked to Victorique and said softly,<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)"> “They’re here.” </span> If Victorique paid particular attention to him she’d see that he uncharacteristically looked bit in awe, particularly at the tall masked figure.<br>
<br>
The official appeared to look around the area, scrutinizing it, as a long piece of parchment appeared in front of her, appearing to float, as well as a dip quill which she began to write details about, perhaps about the surrounding scene., maybe her own personal notes.<br>
<br>
<br>
However, one of the guards with the spears who looked to be a higher rank came over, gave her a bow, and then provided her some additional parchment which contained notes about what they had found beyond the portal and the fight which had taken place.<br>
<br>
After that he gestured and some more guards fell in line now standing near the judge and the religious figure, as well as the tall man.<br>
<br>
The higher ranking guard gestured in Kane and Victorique’s direction then, while the tall masked man made his way over closer to the head block platform, as if he was waiting.<br>
<br>

Those who found him said they found him tied with white strands  farther in the depths of the lair. He also claims that his brother Adriano was set up and forced to commit a murder he otherwise would not have through the similar form of possession used on him."<br>
<br>
"In addition I should note  if you have any relevant evidence you would like to submit and explain now would be the time.”</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“Normally I wouldn’t be asking you both at once, but as I heard this executioner had been assisting you in ways which were..less than conventional for his job description.”</span> It was a bit difficult to tell if she said the latter part about with disapproval or not.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“What you say will remain confidential with those present.”</span><br>
<br>
She then appeared to shift back to her personal notes.<br>
<br>
The woman said all of this quite a matter of factly getting straight to business.<br>

With a wave of the staff  from Father Gresham a faint magical barrier had gone over the four toward when the justiciar had started speaking. From the sound of things to prevent others from hearing what they were discussing.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">“And I am Father Gresam, I felt simply obligated to come as a representative of the church, issues of the occult within our Kingdom are most grave indeed, not only for those concerned is it voluntarily working with evil, but is an abomination against what our queen and divine guardians find just and pure.”</span> His expression shifted to a more serious one.<br>

<b>Languages:</b> Common | &lt;Beastial&gt; | [Terran] | {Sylvan} <br>
<br>
She definitely took a few more steps back when the owlbear thing started roaring and vomiting all over the mushroom. Not only was it gross, it looked like she'd be in big trouble if a drop of that were to splatter and hit her. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“That's... something...”</b></span> She mumbled, as she really hoped that beast was as tamed as others assumed it to be. She herself wasn't entirely sure if it wasn't just as terrifying, if not more, as the mushroom creature had been.<br>
<br>
As for Victorique, she could've guessed as much herself, regarding the skull thing. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“No kidding.”</b></span> She replied, a tad annoyed, as she wanted to do something, yet had no clue what to do and had to give it to Kane that she wasn't going to be expecting an answer anytime soon. By the time things calmed down a little, Kane was already calling out to order the clean-up. Victorique sighed. Well, that'd work as well. <br>
<br>
As Jez was able to answer her, Victorique immediately had some questions in return. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Can you confirm who started this and who got caught up in it along the way, based on these items?”</b></span> That was one of her most prominent questions. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Even if they ended up conspiring together, I'd really like to figure out who started this all.”</b></span> She was still a bit sceptical about whether or not lady Hoyles had been manipulated by Alfonso directly or if he'd been victim to the same mind-controlling tendrils. <br>
<br>
When Kane explained about the justiciar, she nodded. She wasn't sure what to expect from it, but she figured she'd play along with it. It was probably like a judge to present her evidence too...<br>
<br>
Although she got caught up in a loop when she spotted Robert among those arrested. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Wait... when did the tendrils get to him?”</b></span> That was confusing. Even Kane seemed confused. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I doubt it. I'm only more sure they were being mind-controlled now. He couldn't have acted as well as he did if he was playing both sides. He truly believed he wasn't involved back then.”</b></span> She was convinced of that much. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Which means they might've all been...”</b></span><br>
<br>
She clicked her tongue. That'd be a tougher bit to argue. She only was granted a little time to prepare, as some folk showed up. Tall, taller and even taller. Then again, most folk were tall by her own standards. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“So they're the folk you work for?”</b></span> She asked, upon seeing the slight admiration in his eyes.<br>
<br>
When someone gestured in their direction, she straightened her back on instinct. Not that it'd made her any taller. However, when the royal justiciar asked her to do her story, it reminded her of the typical scene from the detective movies she used to watch. Well then... she'd asked for it!<br>
<br>
She gave a bit of a bow, to start off on the right foot. Then she started. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“You are correct. I got involved in this case some time ago <s>on the third of May.</s> when I overheard Eliza Talton discuss something with her brother, Affonso Talton. He was arguing it was high time to take action, she was trying to convince him against meddling in such affairs. <br>
<br>
After a quick inquiry, I learned that Affonso Talton had been playing to try free his brother, Adriano Talton. This is going to be important later, as I am certain that, at the time, Affonso Talaton was convinced that his little brother was innocent and that he himself was genuinely planning to try and free him. As such, I'd like to present <u>Affono's earnest desire to try free his brother as evidence #1</u>. Eliza, me and Kane can all attest to it, as well as those who were involved with his plotting to actually free Adriano.<br>
<br>
As for Adriano, the first pieces of evidence in his favour are the various testimony's of his condition. The various guards I spoke with said he was found in a state that <i>seemingly</i> made it impossible to deny his murder of a child. However, sometimes the level of obviousness of a crime only accounts for how likely it is to be a set-up. This would be such a case. The one thing they couldn't temper with, was his own reaction to the set-up. The same guards, both those who arrested him as those who imprisoned him, as well as the various people who met him, such as Kane and myself, can confirm he was genuinely confused, convinced of his own innocence and clearly lacking memory of the actual crime itself. Therefore, I would like to consider <u>Adriano's confusion, lack of memory of the crime and his general mental state as evidence #2</u>. It shouldn't be too difficult to find guards to back-up this state of mind that I speak about.<br>
<br>
The next piece of evidence, or rather, lack there-of, should not be underestimated. Through-out all my investigating, I have not found a single solid reason as to why he would've murdered a child. Not only that, the child itself, which was presumably murdered, has rather suspicious circumstances going on, which I will try to explain later. For now, however, I'd like like to add the <u>lack of a clear motive for Adriano's committing of a murder as evidence #3</u>. I'll admit that there are some testimony's that say he was found angry when he was apprehended, but to kill over mere disrespect and out of anger is not only unlikely, evidence suggest the child might've been the daughter of another noble. He'd have likely known her or recognised her as such, which makes it unlikely he'd easily be disrespected by her actions, for she'd have been his equal.<br>
<br>
That brings us to a highly important part in all of this. A part that all of us, whom have gotten involved, are likely familiar with by now. The white tendrils. I first discovered them retreating into tiny holes into the soil upon the crime scene. Thanks to Eliza's willingness to go close to the holes, we could see the tendrils were about to react to her presence. I'm not sure whether it is related or not, but it occurred after she'd taken off an amulet that seemed to have some magic on it. Either way, I'd like to mention the <u>presence of white tendrils at the crime scenes as evidence #4</u>. Furthermore, Eliza was capable of sensing dark and heavy magic having been present. We've asked for some guards to keep watch over the area and ensure that nobody would go near them. They can also back-up the presence of these things, in so-far as others haven't seem them in other instances and have confirmed their involvement in this case already. <br>
<br>
After this discovery, we headed to the prison to speak with Adriano himself. What he told us confirmed evidence #2. He was confused, lacked memories and even tried to figure out if he'd been set-up by someone. None of what he said seemed disingenuous, just heavily confused. He described going on a walk at night due to having trouble sleeping, upon which he saw what I'd like to consider  <u>evidence #5, the presence of an odd girl</u> that I mentioned before. He noticed she had silky white garments, suspiciously similar to the tendrils we heard about, that she had no shoes, that her hair was black and that <u>her eyes were a near solid grey</u>. His next memory was that of him standing over the kid after having attacked her, but he does recall having been covered in white strands. This should further confirm he was being controlled into the murder. Not only that, I believe the victim was equally controlled into being murdered. Both were puppets in a bigger plan.<br>
<br>
Needlessly to say, the idea he might've done that made him rather disgusted. However, there is one odd piece of evidence. He had the [Murderer F] title granted to him, suggesting he had indeed committed the murder. Yet wouldn't it be possible to still gain such a title if one were manipulated into doing it? Or what if one were to be manipulated into slashing down hard, then released at the last possible second? He'd not have been under the influence of mind-control, but he'd not have been able to stop himself from continuing the blow. I believe whomever or whatever set him in order to use the way criminal titles are granted against him and in order to further confidence all of us that he was indeed guilty. Yet... why would someone wish to do so? That was the next question we had to investigate.<br>
<br>
I'll admit it threw me for a loop, as I was debating a set-up for the longest time. However, eventually, I realised it didn't matter too much as to <i>who</i> was framed, so long as it was a noble killing a child. Someone of high stature killing someone innocent. That was the thing they were after, as it would lead to a public execution that was undeniably going to draw a lot of attention. They needed a crime horrible enough and confusing enough to draw in many eyes. However, I'm getting ahead of myself. At that point, I was still wondering as to the motive of setting him up.<br>
<br>
When questioning him further, he explained a young girl had asked him directions. He mentioned she seemed to be in an odd state. Furthermore, <u>her eye colour had changed from grey to a more reddish colour</u>, which I would like to consider another curial part as <u>evidence #6, the change of eye-colours</u>. <br>
<br>
To add another on this, we have a testimony from someone named Newt, who witnessed there wasn't one, but <u>two</u> girls outside nearby his tavern. Similar looking ones. Thus, I'd like to add the confirmation of <u>there being two odd girls</u> rather than one to <u>evidence #5</u>. I'll admit I wasn't aware how much Affonso was compromised, so I asked him to question Newt. Sadly enough, I'm not sure what came of it, as that might've been a mistake in hindsight due to his compromised nature. Either way, me and Kane went to question the guards that first discovered the incident with Adriano.<br>
<br>
That's when I first met the Night Guard Captain, Robert Hoyles. Upon presenting some of our findings to him, he seemed shocked to learn that the white tendrils were still active. Not only that, but he was genuinely concerned about stopping the thread. I'd like to present this as <u>evidence #7, Robert's concern and shock about the continued issue with the tendrils</u>. As I like to praise myself on my insight, I find it hard to believe it was all an act. Not only that, his own men can likely vouch for him as well, as they know how he acted at the time and ever since.<br>
<br>
One of those men of his, someone called Virgil, further testified to me. He confirmed the sight of two girls, added they'd been dressed rather nicely and confirmed they'd seen Adriano standing over one of them having been slain and having been held by strange tendrils. Another of Robert's men confirmed evidence #6, the changing of eye colours. Finally, from their testimony's, we obtained <u>evidence #8, Adrianno's missing sword</u>, as they confirmed the sword used in the murder, which they'd submitted for processing, was found to be a fake. It is unclear where the real sword went or what happened to it.<br>
<br>
Finally, the guards confirmed that the strange vines had been seen before. When they'd strangled an adventurer outside the walls. They vanished before they could be further investigated, but it furthers evidence #4, the presence of white tendrils, as it shows they've been around for a considerable amount of time.<br>
<br>
Considering we confirmed the presences of two girls, twins potentially, we decided to go and question the only one known to have twins. Lord Hoyles. Considering he is of nobility, their wealthy looks would also be explained. <br>
<br>
Upon meeting lord Hoyles, we were able to confirm the presence of the white tendrils. In fact, this leads to <u>evidence #9, lord Hoyles himself had been taken hold off by the white tendrils</u>. Whilst Kane and Robert attempted to subdue him, I continued my investigation <s>into the second part of the roleplay series</s>.  <br>
<br>
First of all, I'd like to present <u>evidence #10, occult symbols and signs in the Hoyles's household</u>, such as the presence of blood stained parchment with symbols and paper, burn and scratch marks in the first daughter's room, the presence of diagrams suggesting something to be plotted at the town's square in the second daughter's room as well as the presence of a summoning circle in the master bedroom.<br>
<br>
Eventually, I managed to find a rather confused Sirena Hoyles locked up in a closet in the master bedroom. She claims figures in grey hoods barged into their home and overpowered her husband and herself, yet I was somewhat sceptical of such a testimony. Upon further investigation and question, I found another piece of evidence, namely <u>evidence #11, a letter meant to be sent to Affonso Talton</u>. It turned out Sirena had been having an affair. However, this affair had gone so far that she was manipulated into aiding Affonso, whom had already been compromised at the time. She was made to believe that Adriano was plotting against Affonso. <br>
<br>
This brings me to to <u>evidence #12, Sirena Hoyles admitted to having been manipulated into aiding him regarding the summoning of a monster by Affonso Talton</u>, believing it'd be for Affonso's own protection against his brother. However, crucial to this is that she recalled signs of what we now know as evidence #6, the changes in eye colours. In fact, his eyes changed colour after he claimed after he'd been using magic, suggesting it might've been a cover-up for what truly occurred. Him being taken over by the same tendrils that manipulated many others. <br>
<br>
Fearing that an urgent situation was at hand, we made our way to the square and informed proper authorities. It is also when I first encountered Jez, who has been a great help regarding the magical aspects of this case. She confirmed our suspicions, which I'd like to provide as <u>evidence #13, the mushroom monster was planned to be summoned to this very area</u>, furthermore, as it screamed in its monster language that it was upset about the lack of finding its promised sacrifices, it is clear that it was meant to be summoned during an ongoing execution. In particular, the execution of Adriano Talton, at the hands of Kane. That event would have had many people watching, whom were intended as sacrifices. The various symbols on this statue, as well as the symbols in the room beyond the portal that opens from it, can all verify as much.<br>
<br>
Now, starting from the end, we have a rather cohesive story. First, the monster was planned to be summoned here and to be fed sacrifices. That needed a crowd. Affonso Talton, presumably under the influence of the tendrils, was used to convince Sirena Hoyles to aid him with the excuse of protecting himself against his brother. Instead, however, one of her own daughters was used as sacrifice to frame Adriano in order to get him executed and draw a crowd. The others involved, including Robert, have all been compromised to the white tendrils at one point or another. However, their genuine reactions and concerns should show that they were manipulated into taking actions they themselves do not even recall. Just like Adriano.<br>
<br>
She took a deep breath. Sadly enough, I have not yet been able to find answers to all questions. For one, I am unaware of the origin of this all. Of course I have some theories. Lady Sirena believed her daughters to be studying elsewhere. Perhaps they'd planned to return for a surprise visit, yet got taken over by the tendrils on their way home, then proceeded to infect Affonso and their family. Perhaps the adventurer seen by the guards was the one meant to have escorted them. Or perhaps the guards themselves got infected when they first saw it, without them knowing. It's even possible the tendrils we found at the crime scene were what got to Affonso first. I'm afraid I've too little evidence to suggesting any options as conclusive. I do, however, believe that all the available evidence shows that the involved parties were manipulated by the white tendrils into committing the crimes they committed.<br>
<br>
Two other questions remain. The missing sword, which I once feared would be used to add to the chaos by controlling a mechanized unit, as well as the fate of the second daughter. Perhaps even the remains of the first might need closer inspection.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She then took out all the things she'd taken from the room beyond the portal. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“That said, these are what I found on the others side of that portal. It should reveal all those that were compromised and involved in the summoning. It might even teach us more about how they got compromised and whom it started with.”</b></span> She took out a notebook next, then scribbled away using her [Eidetic Memory]. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“These are the signs and symbols I encountered in the Hoyles residence.”</b></span><br>
<br>
That left her with the last bits of evidence to gather and utilise. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Of course, Affonso believing his image was used stands to reason, for he would have no memories of what happened whilst under the influence of the white tendrils. It is likely to be similar for the other involved parties. The fact he claims his brother was set-up further proves that he himself is not aware that he was the one to set him up whilst under the control of the tendrils.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
She got some bad vibes from the 'Father Gresham', but she decided to hope for the best. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“All presented evidence suggest that nobody was voluntarily working with evil, but rather under its influence. It would not be unwise to attempt to ensure that no traces of the white tendrils remain, both in those involved in the case as in the town itself, for their presence has clearly had a major impact on this case and they'd been far more widespread than we could've imagined them to be at first.”</b></span><br>
<br>
That, for now, concluded all her findings. She wasn't fully satisfied, as there were still some questions left unanswered, but at least she'd been able to sort out the main points.</div>

He cocked his head to the side, peering deep into the remains of the Mushroom Monster. Such a poor appellation for a guardian spirit to have forced upon them. Such was the fate of guardian spirits amongst the [White Expanse]. He grunted as his nose muzzled the ropey white remains. <br>
<br>
The Professor got closer to where Gyld was and looked up at his large form.<br>
<br>
“You did it! You’ve had quite the productive day with all this fighting, now you’ve gone and helped to save this place and my very life, this I had not for seen in my visions, the day only becomes more exciting my friend, you’ve certainly earned a rest if you’d like one.

) explanation. "You've got one thing wrong." His body deflated as more motes of green and white seeped back into the domain until he was once more his medium sized owlbear form. Gyld wanted as much access to his domain's magics incase what he did next backfired. "You called this a Mushroom Monster, but it is not the antagonist of your story but the victim. You don't see it when you walk on the forest floor or upon the snow, but a network of mycelium managed by this Spirit Guardian helps all of the natural flora to communicate and share resources. It's the glue that binds your ecosystem. While the Great Bear of the North guards against massive exetensial threats to your ecosystem, the mycelium network  ensures the balance and exchange of intelligence and nutrients between the foundation of your entire ecosystem, the plants. And it is mortals, those mortals perhaps, that lured it from its duty, bound and corrupted its purpose." <br>
<br>
Gyld shook his head, "But worry not, I'm here to restart things." With that said, Gyld causally took out the Primal Shard and plunged it into the heart of the Mycelium Guardian Spirit.</div>

<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“According to what I could tell from the ritual signs, it was initiated by Affonso Talton, and Lady Hoyles followed soon after but given the penmanship it’s completely possible it was under terms of possession in my professional opinion, Robert, Lord Hoyles and others joining after..perhaps lured in by Lady Hoyles under possession.”</span><br>

Could it be possible that nobody was really at fault for what happened in this situation? If everyone was innocent hopefully they’d let Kane take care of someone less important for execution once this was all scheduled then..but it took special offenses to warrant an execution instead of being sent off to die by the monsters, and someone higher in society getting involved in the occult for  treason was definitely a reason one could end up on a headsman block instead..<br>
<br>
Kane nodded when Victorique responded to him, that was looking more like a viable option now, that there was some kind of control going on.<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Sort of..you could say that in a way, we both work for the same person..but that really tall guy, I’m more interested in him, you see he’s a high ranking executioner, the kind who you really don’t want to be on the receiving end of because it means you seriously did something to tick off the crown..”</span><br>
<div style="text-align: center"><br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">Royal Justiciar Corbyn<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/renai-saiban-600-2837894-jpg.1134951/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1072/1072080-67f4055fa50fbef6759b2562bd03adaf.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Renai.Saiban.600.2837894.jpg" title="Renai.Saiban.600.2837894.jpg" width="100" height="140" loading="lazy"></a></span></b>​</div><br>
As Victorique spoke the Justiciar looked like she was quite focused on everything which she was telling her. Similar to the way Professor Neco’s eyes had lit up earlier, a single eye on the Royal Justiciar began to glow a brightish blue hue. Perhaps she was magically recording the information which Victorique was telling her. “The following dialogue until we conclude here today will be kept on royal court records.”  She then appeared to be deep in thought like she was processing it while Victorique provided her all the points. It looked like the Justiciar was rapidly appraising the physical pieces of evidence which Victorique provided and that they were being added to some kind of blue portaled  holding dimension presumably where evidence was kept after they had been appraised.<br>
<br>
Kane on the other hand stood nearby quietly and looked pretty impressed with all that Victorique was sharing, probably thinking to himself about how good she was at her job. Her expression stayed relatively stern during the explanations provided but her eyes did shift a bit, as she gave a slight nod when Victorique mentioned it was possible that they had possessed Adriano long enough and stopped just after he hit his target in order to earn him the murderer title.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">Father Gresham<br>

Perhaps he was aware of her and was not a fan.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“That missing sword is most curious, from the other report I received Adriano’s fuller had not been stolen...perhaps a separate opportunistic crime.” </span>The Justiciar murmured to herself toward the end.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“Some of the  information which you have told me is corroborated from other sources which have made their way into other reports I have received, this triangulation of data helps to support the evidence and what you have suggested to me has taken place.”<br>
<br>
“I also appreciate your thoroughness, you wouldn’t believe what kind of information I’m left to make judgments on, it can be quite bothersome when there’s little to work with, but thankfully in this case there’s a plethora as you have mentioned so neatly.” </span>She paused for a moment with a soft smile, before it returned to a more serious look.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“Since this is what largely got you into this case, first I will speak on whether I believe Adriano Talton is innocent of murder.”<br>
<br>
“In my judgment, with such an established record of this monster’s tendrils being able to influence and possess people and the evidence of the guard’s testimonies suggesting activity of this monster in the area quite some time back, corroborated by witnesses who have claimed that Lord Hoyles did not seem himself and multiple witnesses stating that he had been possessed. These symptoms described in Lord Hoyles case are similar to the kinds you are mentioning Adriano appeared to experience shortly after the murder.  As a result  I do believe there is a strong case to make that  Adriano Talton was put under the monster’s influence. As you mentioned  it’s completely possible that he was possessed just until the point when his sword was about to go through that girl and the murderer title would fall on him if it were to happen just as he regained control of himself.”<br>
<br>
“Given he has no past criminal record to speak of, is generally in good social standing with others,  as well as lack of identifiable motive and suspicious circumstances of the victim corroborated by multiple sources, It makes it seem even more likely that he was not at fault for this action. For these reasons, I believe that Adriano Talton should be released from custody and his criminal title should be forgiven.”<br>
<br>
“I also believe it was likely that those strange looking girls were used as lures to set up the favorable conditions for a monster massacre as you mention.The fact that the summoning was to take place which had a way to access this very square coinciding with the timing of the execution is compelling.  I will recommend on record that the body should be  further investigated once again to infer whether or not they are the corpse of Lady and Lord Hoyle’s daughter, or if there wasn’t more foul play pertaining to them. Until this takes place I do not believe we can rule out the possible use of illusion magic in addition to the possessions.”<br>
<br>
“Next I will discuss whether or not I believe Robert Hoyles to be innocent. Given his described actions and demeanor from multiple sources, as mentioned by you and in one of the reports I received upon arriving, and the similarities to what Affonso experienced, I am again of the belief that he was likely also possessed by the tendrils by extension, the evidence suggests that he is innocent as well. On the record I judge that Night Guard Captain Robert Hoyles is innocent.”<br>
<br>
“Next for my judgment of Lord Hoyles.”<br>
<br>
“Based on the triangulation of witnesses, his weak and confused demeanor, and the occult evidence suggesting that Lord Hoyles was not the culprit who started this ordeal, I believe he was a victim of possession as well as and as result should be deemed innocent It’s completely possible that he was taken hold of when making contact with his wife, children as you mentioned as a possibility or someone else along the way.”</span><br>
<br>
Presuming Victorique was to clarify that she found out at least whose first name was on the pact, that being of Affonso Talton’s<br>
<br>
The Justiciar appeared to be in thought once again.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“While I do not know the extent to which you claim your ability to assess people is accurate, what I do know is that some of our high skilled inquisitors  were unable to detect that Affonso Talton was lying or trying to conceive information, which is promising for the case you are making..in that he genuinely does not seem to remember what happened and was of the belief that someone was framing him. This evidence supports the idea that he was in fact possessed, perhaps forced to create a pact with the monster for that idol while under its influence,as for the affair, it is possible that while under the monster's influence he seduced Lady Hoyles..”<br>
<br>
“For the reasons you mentioned, and for the record, I have a strong reason to believe that Affonso Talton was made to act against his will, and that even if the gray hoods were under his jurisdiction, they were led astray by Affonso Talton who was under the influence, there is also a possibility they were manipulated themselves by the monster. For these reasons, while a bit more involved in reasoning, I believe the evidence suggests Affonso Talton is innocent.”<br>
<br>
“And now for whether Lady Hoyles is innocent or not. Normally the sort of testimony that she gave would be concerning and invite her to be charged with willingly working to summon a monster..but I believe this monster influenced her to act, and I have a strong belief  that with her seduction putting her into a more vulnerable state, at one point or another she was possessed as well, and cannot be held fully accountable for her actions either. Given her family’s contribution to her Majesty’s Kingdom I believe it is appropriate to be more lenient with her even if she was potentially more culpable than the others here, and I believe she is innocent as well.”</span><br>
<br>
The Justiciar then went over some other names which Victorique had not encountered personally, but based on the other reports they all had been interrogated and had been equally confused and seemed to not remember much genuinely, further supporting the idea that they had been possessed too, resulting in a not guilty verdict for them as well.<br>
<br>
However when Gyld mentioned that ti was not a mushroom monster but a guardian that caused the Justiciar to look over a bit skeptical, as if she was wondering what he was on about, regardless of what it had been in the current state which it had been causing the havoc it had been a monster, so unless they could get information about what had corrupted it and if it was a person then it was dubious that would help her sentence..<br>
<br>
When Gyld shoved the gift he had received into the remains of the guardian, Kane and Father Gresham who looked like he was about to say something in response to Victorique, not exactly having the most pleased expression, looked over, and the form of the mushroom began to build, but instead of being a horrifying creature it began to take on a much more colorful form the energy radiating from it dynamically with a bright light before it formalized, still quite tall as it's last  corrupt interation had been.<br>
<br>
It then began to speak in a strange language which probably only the owl bear could understand.<br>

<br>
Kane was pretty bewildered by this development, It looked like the priest was unsure what to say either, gripping his staff and looking cautiously at the mushroom, Kane had gone from thinking about whether or not he’d be permitted to carry out an execution that day or not especially if most were innocent, to what the heck that mushroom thing actually was.<br>

<b>Languages:</b> Common | &lt;Beastial&gt; | [Terran] | {Sylvan} <br>
<br>
A combination at being told she was wrong and being slightly afraid of the creature that could eat her as a bite-sized snack made her merely glare back at Gyld from a safe distance. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Aren't Spirit Guardians active in the See?”</b></span> She felt like this wasn't really the type of place for them to hang out to begin with. Like the others, she was highly sceptical of what the owlbear was doing to this mushroom monster. <br>
<br>
On the other hand, she was glad that Jez was able to confirm a few things. She nodded. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Thanks for the confirmation.”</b></span><br>
<br>
The halfling was a tad surprised by Kane being impressed by the tall guy. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“So they're the crown's hunting dogs, so to say?”</b></span> She clicked her tongue. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“It should be fun to team up with someone like that to investigate and hunt down some criminals, one day.”</b></span> She stated, imagining the power that'd come from working with powerhouses under the direct command of the crown itself. She chuckled, as she had a fun idea. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Sent me a letter when you get there.”</b></span> After all, that's what friends were for, weren't they?<br>
<br>
Thankfully the Justiciar actually paid attention. That made things a lot easier on Victorique. Even so, the missing sword... she wasn't fully sure if it was a separate opportunistic crime. Either way, there was little else she could say on it. Although, what the Owlbear said gave her some idea. Even though it was a long shot. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Either that, or in light of what ...”</b></span> She realised she had no clue what to call the owlbear. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“... the big fellow just said, perhaps it might've been involved in the corruption of this Guardian and needed to be rid of as evidence of said tempering.”</b></span><br>
<br>
A proud smile displayed on her face when she was praised on her thoroughness. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Of course.”</b></span> She stated, but the bright smile, straightened back and raised shoulders suggested she was a lot less casual about soaking up this praise than her words suggested. <br>
<br>
She nodded along as the Justiciar mentioned judgements. To some degree, she was a bit relieved. She'd feared that even getting yourself controlled by the monsters would be punishable. Especially for folk like Robert Hayles, who had a military position. <br>
<br>
There was one part she really wanted to learn more about, as she'd ask the justiciar short after the latter finished her judgements. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“About the girls, would it be possible for me to be informed of the results of the autopsy? If there was illusion magic or other at play, they might stem from the same source that corrupted this Spirit Guardian.”</b></span> She felt like that was a pretty considerable loose end in the whole investigation.<br>
<br>
Considering that even Affonso and lady Hoyles were declared innocent, Victorique figured that they really lucked out on having a 'nice' justiciar. She could've well imagined Affonso's plot to try free his brother to still be a crime. After all, that bit was done without control of the tendrils and was still an act against the state. The same went for how easily lady Hoyles had gone astray. Then again, Affonso's reputation was ruined and lady Hoyles' marriage was likely going to be at risk, so both of them would already have some punishments to deal with in that regard. All in all, she was glad they'd at least not see their heads rolling or see them sent to the front lines as fodder against the monsters.<br>
<br>
She was rather surprised when the mushroom turned into a hallucinogen. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Sooooo...”</b></span> She stated, a tad unsure, a tad annoyed, a tad impatient. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Any chance this... guardian... is going to tell us who or what corrupted it? That'd save a lot of time investigating and might give our executioner friends an actual target.”</b></span> She stated, trying not to feel like she was high on mushrooms merely from looking at the colourful guardian. <br>
<br>
Despite the fact that not all threads had been wrapped up, Victorique was keeping an eye out to see if she could spot Eliza somewhere. After all, she'd just saved both her brothers from being executed. Surely that meant she was due a reward. She also recalled Eliza apparently had one of those mecha's as well. Which she still wanted to take a ride in. It didn't take much for her to realise what reward she wanted, which those who'd have been around enough (Kane and Eliza herself) might figure out easily enough as well.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">In his impressive owlbear form, Gyld embodied a captivating fusion of primal strength and mystical grace. His robust frame, cloaked in a harmonious blend of dark bear fur and golden owl feathers, exuded a raw power tempered by an almost ethereal elegance. His large, amber eyes, glowing with ancient wisdom, scanned the environment with a keenness born of his dual heritage. Agile yet formidable, he moved with a grace that belied his size, his sharp claws ready for both the hunt and the defense of the natural world he so deeply revered.<br>
<br>
Addressing the Mushroom Guardian, Gyld's voice resonated with a deep, commanding tone, <b><span style="color: #00a885">":.Retake your duties! The corruption that twisted you is a blight upon the land. One </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 168, 133)">which</span><span style="color: #00a885"> I hunger to devour. Tell me who has wronged you. How was it done? The Bear of the North was hounded by men but its Stonehenge was but ancient pictures. I am ready to continue the hunt, to seek fresh prey and eradicate this source of imbalance. Wherever it leads, I will go.:"</span></b> His words, imbued with a blend of reverence and determination, reflected his unwavering commitment to protecting the natural order and his readiness to face the challenges that lay ahead.<br>
<br>
As he spoke, a blend of reverence and determination filled his tone. Gyld understood the gravity of the situation; the corruption that had almost consumed the Mushroom Guardian was a threat to the natural order he so fiercely protected. His protective and dutiful nature compelled him to act, to safeguard the lands and beings he held dear.<br>
<br>
Turning to Professor Neco, Gyld nodded solemnly. <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"><b>"&lt;You saw the birth of our quest, the breath of fate upon this path. The journey ahead is fraught with peril, but it is one we must undertake. Look ahead, Professor, to when we have restored harmony to these lands.&gt;"</b></span> His statement was not just a vow but a call to action, driven by his deep-seated reverence for nature and his unyielding commitment to his duty as a guardian.<br>
<br>
As to the words spoken amongst the humans and other humanoids, Gyld did not really follow them. He knew humans had a delight in words, speaking libraries when a claw would do. Besides, what were the odds that whatever they were doing was some how related to his own hunt?<br>
<br>
He was surprised to hear just such a suggestion from the littlest of their ilk. Turning his gleaming golden owl eyes upon <a href="/members/elvario.94105/" class="avatar avatar--xxs" data-user-id="94105" data-xf-init="member-tooltip">

 , the diminutive form reminded him more of a child than an adult of their species, but he'd had quite delightful conversations, if brief, with such tiny creatures before. <br>

Jez gave Victorique a nod of confirmation back.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Of course.”</span> She said with the same serious somewhat deadpan tone, but her look was a bit more friendly with a faint smile.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">Kane Blackburne<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/crop-1-1-1-1-1-1-jpg.1135847/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1072/1072976-dd24894ecc7f82a7319ffe3d22cc8746.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="crop-1-1-1-1-1-1.jpg" title="crop-1-1-1-1-1-1.jpg" width="100" height="204" loading="lazy"></a></span></b>​</div><br>
Kane couldn’t help but chuckle some more when Victorique referred to that level of royal executioner as a ‘hunting dog’ if he was feeling particularly  snarky or didn’t particularly like the one he saw he might have been inclined to say something less than kind that he found humorous but for now he abstained from such actions.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Oh, nice to hear you think I’ll live that long then, If I’m to take this seriously then it’s what I can hope to achieve moving forward, so I’ll definitely write to you when I do. And yeah we should definitely set something up again, it has been entertaining.” </span>He said the later part with a bit of a smirk.  It looked like Victorique was taking his proposition to be a friend seriously, which even if Kane didn’t outwardly express it, he did appreciate that his words had been taken seriously.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">Royal Justiciar Corbyn<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/renai-saiban-600-2837894-1-jpg.1135853/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1072/1072982-67f4055fa50fbef6759b2562bd03adaf.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Renai.Saiban.600.2837894-1.jpg" title="Renai.Saiban.600.2837894-1.jpg" width="100" height="140" loading="lazy"></a></span></b><br>​</div><br>
When Victorique mentioned the sword possibly playing a part into how the the guardian had been corrupted, it looked like gears were turning in her head, an expression of deep thought forming pretty quickly.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“It looks like my praise was truly justified..and I’ve worked with many detective sorts..what you are saying might..be possible and a vital missing link and I actually have an idea of how that may have played a role..but I need some more information”</span> Justiciar Corbyn responded. Her brows narrowing a bit as if it was on the tip of her tongue.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“Hm? Oh yes, I can get that information to you once it’s complete, which should be shortly, I’ve already made the call for it in light of your information and depending on the results I believe yet again you may be correct about their being a connection.” </span>It sounded like this Justiciar was capable of magical communication at long distances and she had discretely casted some magic, perhaps a reason why everything could be heard once again in the bubble she had created by this point.<br>
<br>
<br>
Not was Victorique  just skeptical but  Kane,Father Gresham, and the Royal Justiciar all genuinely looked somewhat surprised at what Gyld had said, looking his way and then even more surprised that his using of the Lord of the North’s gift caused some sort of magical reaction to take place where whatever the large mushroom thing that just reformed was now. Even though the militarized units which had been around the area were on higher alert upon seeing it..it became pretty clear that it was not an entity which meant them any harm but a passive one from nature as the owlbear said. This was clear in the calm way it spoke, and how those near it were given a strange sense of ease that it meant no harm. Unfortunately it was difficult to understand what the thing was saying in that strange tongue. Perhaps if Victorique asked of it, it would speak the Fae tongue instead, but it looked like Gyld had gotten the message.<br>
<br>
Thankfully Victorique’s understandable ‘fluzzlement’ did not take long to go unanswered  after the large owl bear spoke and purified the guardian  to the good professor.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">Professor Neco<br>

During this section Professor Neco looked back at Gyld and nodded<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)"> <br>
<br>
&lt;”I have seen first hand what you speak of, and I agree we must continue to work together collectively until the balance can be restored…I will admit the Kingdom of Rotia is not the easiest place to try to carry out this work with the Dark Continent so close , but I will say we have moved one step in the right direction toward righting the current plights in large part thanks to you.&gt;</span><br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">Mushroom Guardian<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/lnp0buyilra91-png.1135848/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1072/1072977-88ef1aff26036e416257bfadd1c0b121.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="lnp0buyilra91.png" title="lnp0buyilra91.png" width="100" height="100" loading="lazy"></a></span>​</div><br>
<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">“:I hear your inspiring  words to return to the task at hand, I will resume my purpose when my presence here is no longer required, I have a feeling that there may be more knowledge which could be of use. :”</span><br>
<br>
 It spoke in the strange old language again.<br>
<br>
<br>
As for how Gyld responded, it wasn’t long before Father Gresham spoke up.<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">Father Gresham</span></b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/a0662ac3602f97c528228ec57531c109-1-jpg.1135850/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1072/1072979-5443f5a01fee8c933f2f81733865f408.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="a0662ac3602f97c528228ec57531c109-1.jpg" title="a0662ac3602f97c528228ec57531c109-1.jpg" width="100" height="121" loading="lazy"></a>​</div>The priest’s expression turned into a more serious and not particularly pleased one at that.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">“If what the bear says is true..then this persistent problem with the occult has become worse than I thought..you know it wasn’t all too long ago that there were a faction of cultists living outside of these walls, in a lair of sorts..I personally heard that they were committing blasphemy against Valcorism and were aligned with the monster horde..that in tandem with the increase in monster activity makes me wonder if they are not playing some part in the current issue here..bringing more monsters forward resulting in more deaths on our land..and more opportunities for corruption to take place.”</span><br>
<br>
He replied, then looking over at Jez again with a cold  unfriendly look.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">“That woman over there..make no mistake, while you say she helped you, I intend to keep an eye on her..while I may not be able to prove for the time being..I find her  craft..goes well beyond being someone who is knowledgeable about monsters..and that it is  most unnatural and despicable.”</span><br>
<br>
Despite the clearly negative attention Jez was getting at that point, her face didn’t look any different, her gaze falling upon Father Gresham as if she was indifferent to what he was saying.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Believe what you will.”</span><br>
<br>
It was almost like the Justiciar had a eureka moment as her eyes widened briefly. <span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“Father Gresham..didn’t you say that there was a pro monster occultist terrorist attack not all too far away from when the body was found?”</span><br>
Gresham looked back at the Justiciar before he gave her an eventual nod.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">“That’s right..there were occultists in Evergate who had gotten past the walls and were conspiring..”</span><br>
<br>
The justiciar then looked to Victorique. <span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“If you’re of the same thought process as I am..then perhaps you may be thinking that it is possible that one of those occultists stole Adriano’s blades..then perhaps after subduing this Mushroom..I’m presuming Fae, they could have used some sort of magic to discreetly remove Adriano’s Fuller through teleporting or by pocketing, and exposed the vulnerable guardian to his Fuller’s core which would release quite a bit of unstable mana, perhaps even high enough levels especially if they fed into it  to demonize a living thing..”<br>
<br>
“I believe the next course of action will be to reexamine Adriano's fuller, because while it appeared untampered with there may be evidence to suggest otherwise, I will communicate that and the results should not take long from there either.."<br>
<br>
“Owlbear, could you ask the Mushroom if they recall possibly being corrupted by high levels of  Mana involving  ultists?”</span>  She then turned to Gyld expectantly.<br>
<br>
While this was happening and more information was being gathered it wasn’t all too long before Eliza Talton did show up, a look of intense anxiety and worry on her face.<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">Eliza Talton<br>

There were a few blue guards near her once more which stood by her side for personal protection, as she kept a safe distance, looking over to Affonso and then back to Victorique. Despite the Justiciar being quite skilled at magical communication it looked like Eliza was not someone who had been let  in on it. She had been so upset that she didn't even seem to particularly care about the large colorful mushroom creature or the bear on the scene.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile many of those who had been told they were innocent looked exhausted as they were uncuffed once it was reverified they were no longer under the influence of any monster control. It looked like Affonso was too exhausted to even tell his sister that he was innocent, just trying to hold onto consciousness at the moment.<br>

<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“What?”</b></span> She replied, annoyed at the Owlbear. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I'm a Fae, you know.”</b></span> She felt surprisingly offended at being considered some sort of savage Human polluter. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Besides, there's bloody monsters coming over from the first continent here all the time. Seems like a logical conclusion is that they'd or some of their associate cultist scum would be involved, no?”</b></span> Her annoyance somehow made her a tad more fearless towards the Owlbear... although she did stick close to Kane, just in case.<br>
<br>
On the topic of Kane, she scoffed. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“You'd better live long enough. My friendship doesn't come cheap so you'd best not squander it by dying soon.”</b></span> She huffed, not liking the idea of someone who'd <s>played the Wattson to her Sherlock</s> helped her along dying anytime soon. Not that Arthur, Orchid and Rachael hadn't all buggered off like everyone that helped her seemed to do. Perhaps it was a curse? Either way, she'd agree with him. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Entertaining, yes, you could say that. I think you woe me a drink as well.”</b></span> She added.<br>
<br>
The halfling looked almost an entire foot taller upon receiving more praise from the justiciar. Clearly this woman knew what she was doing, as she was clever enough to recognise Victorique's brilliance. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I'm glad we've got such a talented and intelligent Justiciar to work with.”</b></span> She praised the woman in return, as clearly anyone acknowledging they'd need to praise Victorique was worthy of being praised themselves for the clever act of praising her.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“&lt;Neither of you is gonna explain anything, are you?&gt;”</b></span> She asked Neco and the Owlbear, a tad annoyed that they seemed to know more and just didn't bother telling anyone. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“&lt;What current plights are you even talking about?&gt;”</b></span><br>
<br>
She listened to the priest with mixed interest. Part of it helped explain the situation, another part sounded a tad religiously motivated. If she had to worship something or someone, she'd prefer the Spirit King, as that one was a lot more tangible. The whole Valcorism wasn't meant for her. She was clever enough not to state this aloud, of course, as she didn't want needless trouble. Or well, that's what she thought, until he started going after Jez. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“No offence, but she's been vital in solving this. My first instinct was the same as yours, but I was proven wrong and got to learn how I almost missed a vital piece in this puzzle. It can't harm to keep a close eye on those playing with fires, I get that much, but I learned there's also a lot to learn from those who mastered controlling it, so to say.”</b></span> She tried to put in some form of good word for Jez, as the latter had aided her a fair bit.<br>
<br>
The next parts were going quickly. Victorique wasn't sure what to think of them. For one, she had no mechanical knowledge on any of these processes. For two, she hadn't been there. All in all, the thought process reached by the justiciar was a tad beyond what Victorique might be able to conclude. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“It would allow us to put the remaining pieces into place.”</b></span> She added, being confronted with new options to put into place. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Perhaps investigating that might also teach us more about the daughters and if and how they got involved. Worst case scenario, the cultist might've been active in the academy they were supposed to study at. That place sounds like it'd have know-how about what you just described.”</b></span> It was a bit of a stretch, but nothing impossible.<br>
<br>
That's when she spotted Eliza. She felt a tad bad for how distraught the girl looked, but she still couldn't help herself from smiling. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Naturally~”</b></span> She answered, a voice filled with pride. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“They've both been declared innocent, even though Affonso wasn't making things easier by continue his own plans rather than simply listening to me.”</b></span> She could help note how he'd nearly gotten himself arrest for a different crime of freeing a prisoner and going against the state.<br>
<br>
There was another important matter, however, which she couldn't abstain from bringing up. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Say, you're a noble, so you own one of those machines, right?”</b></span> She had a tad bit of pride, so she didn't want to outright say it, but she also felt like any excuse she could make would be an obviously lie. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I want to ride in one.”</b></span> She eventually just stated. The only good part about her being so small in this life was that she was sure she'd fit in, somehow, even if they were one-person machines.</div>

Gyld's eyes, pools of liquid gold that like an owls hungered for prey, that couldn't help but watch little things and hunger for their bones to snap and blood to splatter, lowered for a moment as he ducked his head. "A Childe of the shadow paths, my apologies I am yet new to this world. My own had yours in numerous proportions.

If it was possible to inflict a slur upon Gyld, calling him merely a bear was one of the better ways. "You are a horrible, wicked person whom I shall never speak to." He said at once, eyes of liquid gold flaring. He shook his head. "Such irreverence is what you personify towards me and my kind is why you are in this situation <i><b>monkey</b>. <b>You think clothes disguise you? The loss of a tail sets you apart?</b>"</i><br>

Gyld rewarded the professor with his full attention, yellow eyes and curved beak focused on him. "<b>&lt;They've shattered the Wheel and they don't even know it.&gt;</b>" Gyld shook his head, "<b>&lt;These monkeys are so primitive in their ignorance of the greater truths. I've seen worse.

Gyld swings his head to look at the Fae Pathstrider. "<b>&lt;It makes me more mysterious if I am not too easy with the full weight of my knowledge.&gt;</b>" Gyld scratched at the earth.

It spoke in the strange old language again.</div>

	</div>
</div><br>
Gyld tilted his head to the side and walked closer. ":I know the hunters drove the Great Bear of the North to ruin and the innumerable corpses choking the land have overwhelmed your system of decay. Are there specific humans I should kill and devour to ease your burden?:"<br>

Gyld arched an eyebrow, "Well monkey, since you and your kind are such gracious hosts to those who helped save your town, what possible reason could I have not to?"<br>

Gyld sighed and turned back to the professor, "&lt;Are these monkeys always so haughty and belligerent towards their betters? I fear they might start flinging their feces at me to get my attention next.&gt;"</div>

Kane noticed Victorique’s proximity and didn’t particularly mind, indeed he felt capable of keeping her safe if it all came down to it, at least that’s what he liked to think based on his skills. Even if it wasn’t at the highest power, he could do a deal more damage than some grunt with his executioner axe mastery which could come with the perk of being an executioner like himself.<br>
<br>
Upon hearing her talking back to the Owlbear he couldn’t help but chuckle a bit, which only intensified when she said he better live long enough.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Hey I mean to be fair I did say it can get a bit rough around here, but, I could see a cold one in your future.” </span>He said light heartedly at the drink comment. Perhaps they could go drinking then, sounded like it could be fun once everything was wrapped up here, but it seemed like there were still a few loose ends which needed tying up and since he had followed Victorique around and about and assisted her for this case, it was only natural he was curious about the full outcome as well.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“But yeah, I think you’re right, I’ll try to stick around as long as I can, I wouldn't want to waste something so valuable.”</span> He gave a bit of a grin, but this time it was more friendly than anything, rather than the somewhat dark and  grim ones he had been giving off on occasion. <br>

<br>

<br>
Instead of becoming apologetic. Father Gresham seemed to scoff, <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">“I can assure you I am distinguished by a divine connection far beyond your comprehension, Balance of nature? This land is for us to use by divine right, we are the chosen people by the Valcori,  Faith and faith alone will allow us  to survive and thrive. It is those who have fallen away from the path of righteousness and  choose to blaspheme as well as the monsters who cause our plights.  This is my truth, so say what you will then. Even if you choose not to speak to me again, I will say that I appreciate that you helped save lives here, as that is undeniable." </span><br>
<br>
A sort of ambivalent response of sorts to Gyld, irrespectively it seemed to Father Gresham Gyld wasn’t exactly the target audience of his religion, it was more than likely he was skeptical of anything related to what appeared more in line with the  Fae religion to him.<br>
<br>
Kane almost scoffed at what the priest had to say, he actually felt kind of bad with the way Gyld was being spoken too, after all the guy had just helped save everyone, how typical of those in higher positions to be so ignorant, Kane knew very little about the world outside of Rotia but he too knew that this was really an improper way to refer to someone who had done something good, for a greater purpose at that. He could tell that Gyld’s intentions were pure and not self serving, but out of one which was concerned with something greater than he understood, but Kane could respect that, because it wasn’t out of some self serving agenda, but a collective one. It didn’t help the fact that the Royal Justiciar hadn’t gotten the hint that even referring to him as an Owlbear was not fully respectful.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">Professor Neco<br>

<br>
Upon getting Gyld’s full attention he nodded in agreement.<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)"> “&lt;I fear that the increased monster activity is more systemic than they believe. While I am uncertain if it is possible to bring complete peace, I do believe that with effort the balance of the light and the dark will be achievable, after all whether one wishes to accept it as truth, monsters are part of nature.&gt;”</span><br>
<br>
Professor Neco looked intrigued as to what Gyld was referencing, like perhaps he’d be keen on hearing more about either.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Professor Neco looked to Victorique when she said that and smiled a bit bashfully, <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“&lt;Apologies, it isn’t all to common I see others who don’t look more like us who can speak my tongue, I must say you’re quite well versed in it.&gt;”</span><br>
After Gyld explained Processor Neco gave another nod.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“&lt;Indeed, he put it in well placed terms, the current plights is that  there is an imbalance which must be addressed , there are seasonal increases of monster activity particularly when what’s between this place and the dark continent freezes over but what has been happening has been abnormal, not only are certain practices unsustainable, particularly when this guardian was compromised  but I fear that there may be additional foul play involved as well. The combination of things is truly causing challenges.&gt;”</span><br>
<br>
At the next point that Gyld was clearly displeased with the way he was being referred too, that was when Kane felt like speaking up.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Hey, could everyone y’know try to learn his name at least? I mean he seriously helped this whole place out, the battle could have gone the other way had he not been here to assist, one of the fullers had already started to fail and the other ones while putting in the work just weren’t effective enough with it’s regeneration. It was his efforts that forced the at least then monster to go on the defensive, buying enough time for Victorique to nab the idol, so, whatever you preferred to be called, that’s how I’ll call you, and  I thank you for helping the people here when you were under no obligation to do so.”</span><br>
<br>
Kane then symbolically took a kneel to Gyld to demonstrate his respect. He wasn’t particularly bothered by the use of the  ‘monkey’ response as it was the same as the other two had called him so it was pretty understandable that Gyld said it back.<br>
<br>
Unlike the unreceptive priest, the Royal Justiciar looked like she was thinking before she looked more apologetic.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“I..understand that is perhaps not the most appropriate way to refer to you, as you said based on my reports you’ve done Evergate and the crown a service as he..suggests, </span>She looked to Kane before continuing and looking back to Gyld, <span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“I apologize for not being more sensitive. How would you like to be referred to?”</span> <br>
<br>
Thankfully this Justiciar was not only kind in her sentencing so far it seemed but she also wasn’t getting all high and mighty and being spiteful toward Gyld, demonstrating at the very least that she had some sense that what had been said hadn’t been cool.<br>
<br>
The priest on the other hand wasn’t particularly pleased with Victorique’s response when all was said and done. The expression on his face said as much once more as he looked to her when she defended Jez.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">“I’ll say something similar  to what I did before, while I appreciate your contributions to saving lives in helping to solve this case, I am skeptical when I see someone doing something which I know goes against what is just. With that said your words will be taken into consideration and we shall see what we shall see, as I say, eyes are certainly on her.”</span> He said the later eyes comment while looking over at Jez sternly.<br>
<br>
At the very least Victorique had pacified  him so that he wasn’t actively antagonizing Jez at the moment any further. <br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Jez</span> <br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/ce5f652f2048cabf8b5761047a7a8847-1-1-jpg.1137503/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1074/1074632-f8d10e8bc5035ae53b0e732aae41adc1.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="ce5f652f2048cabf8b5761047a7a8847-1-1.jpg" title="ce5f652f2048cabf8b5761047a7a8847-1-1.jpg" width="100" height="111" loading="lazy"></a></b>​</div><br>
Jez looked over at Victorique and surprisingly gave her a small smile on her usually deadpan face, it was a faint one but it was definitely something, as if a nonverbal way to say thank you she gave her a nod.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile the Mushroom guardian responded accordingly to Gyld in that old language.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">Mushroom Guardian</span></b><br>

<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“:For the question which you ask, I fear that my memory may not be entirely complete, but there are living beings who I believe would benefit from being punished for their deeds, if not by you, by someone. They are contributing to this imbalance. While there is unsustainable human activity here, which I have adapted to over the years, I will say the ones who I believe are tipping the scales of burden out of balance are the ones which I encountered. When I was  compromised I remember a circle of hooded figures, some who were wielding catalysts, others daggers.. and it wasn’t all much longer after that point, I may have lost consciousness..whether or not they were cultists as the human judge inquired, I am uncertain. I encountered this group beyond the walls, or perhaps it was more accurate they seeked me out and targeted me.:”</span> It looked like the Mushroom guardian could understand common but perhaps did not speak it itself, or it did not desire to use such a language.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“:Even so, Gyld, one who guards the Glade and North, for restoring  me I would like to present you with this gift, if you would accept it. I do hope that those here learn to understand and respect you better.:” </span>The mushroom guardian then presented Gyld a decent sized colorful mushroom which looked psychedelic in color scheme  similar to the way it did.<br>
<br>
The Mushroom Guardian then turned toward Victorique, <span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“{I would like to offer you one of these too, for you helped lead my saviors toward me.}”</span> It spoke in Sylvan surprisingly, holding out the same colorful looking mushroom, not really going into detail about what one was supposed to do with it. <br>
<br>
The Professor gave the Mushroom Guardian a respectful bow.<br>
<br>
Before he looked back over to Gyld, with a bit of a meek smile. <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“&lt;Unfortunately I myself have been on the receiving end of being referred to as ‘cat’ by less than friendly people, but I will say that I have met many good people here too, those like Phoebe who are quite kind and do not judge me for being different. Those who are noble and help those in need selflessly, or understand that some actions have consequences for the collective. While humans are imperfect, I can see that they are capable of good too.&gt;”</span><br>
<br>
<br>
For now the Mushroom Guardian waited to hear from anyone else who wished to speak to it but it was likely that it would depart as it had said soon enough to go and take care of the mess that had been made.<br>
<br>
Back with the conversation that Victorique and the judge had been having, the judge responded, <span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“Right, I’ll try to get those results back to you then soon enough, I may also need to make a formal recommendation that there is an investigation conducted at the academy based on what you are saying.”</span><br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">Eliza Talton<br>

Eliza on the other hand let out a sizable audible sound of relief, before she immediately began to hug Victorique pretty tightly after her request to ride in her fuller. <span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">“OH THANK THE GODS!”</span> She exclaimed.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">“Thank you thank you thank you! I knew you could do it! You saved my brothers. And I told Affonso not to do that! I told him specifically he’d risk losing his head if he did something like that..which means you must have convinced the judge that given the circumstances it wasn’t justified..I’ll feel forever  in your debt for saving the both of them..please  feel free to come back any time, I would love to invite you over and hold something in your honor if you’d allow it.”</span><br>
<br>
She then addressed Victorique’s request,<span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)"> “Of course you can take a ride in my fuller! I do have one, and I think you’ll find it to be quite an impressive one, It’s quite nice if i do say so myself, you can use it for combat as well as aerial travel because the one who built it made it so that you can shift it. I understand that there’s more information coming in, but we can do that as soon as you like after I get confirmation that Adriano and Affonso are headed home securely. I’m sure after all this trial and tribulation they could use some proper rest.”</span><br>
<br>
---<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">(Narrator note: Cool if Gyld and the Professor stay for this part or not, if Gyld chooses to stay the professor likely will, if not he’ll likely head back to the lab given the time of day, regardless of choice, reward/recognition will be distributed before the play's end)</span><br>
<br>
After some more  time had gone by and it was dark out, Kane was still waiting around to find out if he was in fact going to do an execution or not. The higher grade executioner had been idling as well.<br>
<br>
By this point the Mushroom Guardian had left further conversation or not having been had with it.<br>
<br>
The military presence decreased significantly after determining there were no active threats on the scene. <br>
<br>
Meanwhile the Justiciar had been waiting for the results of the two examinations. Her eye lit up the same hue from before when she got her answers incrementally. <br>
<br>
Presuming that Victorique had stayed around since she had been told the information would be coming in, The Royal Justiciar turned to her.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“The updated autopsy report of the now remains revealed that the body which we thought to be the daughter of Lord Hoyles is actually that of a elderly male, there was some kind of illusion magic in use. That might also explain why the murderer title was only passed down at F grade..someone like Lord Hoyle’s daughter might warrant a higher one..”</span><br>
<br>
The Justiciar appeared to be in thought. <span style="color: #1abc9c">“This does not rule out the possibility  that at least one of them was not still under the influence, since there were two spotted, I believe this reveals that an investigation of the academy is still required, and a wellness check to determine that they are in fact safe at the moment. “</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“I would like to also report, that there is evidence that there is evidence of Affonso’s fuller being tampered with. Very faint dark magic residue, as well as evidence of parts being shifted and then put back in place, this suggests to me that there is evidence to suggest the possibility of the cultists being involved, unfortunately it is not definitive, but I believe it would be worth looking into.”<br>
<br>
“With that said, without a lack of clear connection to any of those who were suspects in the current case, you are free to leave.”</span> Finally getting the okay.<br>
<br>
Adriano and Affonso by that point were secured by more blue guards who brought them away. Lord Hoyles and Lady Hoyles were also brought away with assistance, all of them still looking exhausted at that point, that much was given when neither had really even reacted to hearing that there was a chance their daughter was actually still alive. The other suspects left the scene as well. <br>
<br>
Eliza on the other hand was staying  with Victorique and Kane since she still had business to settle as she had promised.<br>
<br>
Victorique was given time to give any thoughts she had on the new information which the Justiciar listened to carefully before the Justiciar then turned to Kane, who had been staying near Victorique and who had probably tried to make small talk with Victorique while they waited.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“Kane Blackburne, it is to my understanding that you were scheduled to enact your duty to the crown  today, but it was interrupted by the developing events, since you were of assistance today, I will permit you to take care of someone appropriate to your standing as a new Royal Executioner so that you may formalize your title. You will be overseen by whom I have brought with me .” </span>She gestured to the high grade executioner who was nearby.<br>
<br>
Kane smirked a bit at hearing that. <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Well looks like I will actually be on today."</span> He said looking to Victorique, before turning back to the Justiciar with a rather uncharacteristic  formal bow,<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Thanks I appreciate it, Justiciar Corbyn.” </span><br>
<br>
Kane then walked up near the headsman's block on the raised wooden platform in the center  near where the tall figure was. He had his axe on his person.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Alban Greene<br>

After some more preparations a young man was brought out by what looked like Evergate guards on either side. His hands had been bound, and he was brought a respectable distance away from the Justiciar who now had a raised wooden podium of sorts which she stood at which had been brought out of some pocket dimension not long after she had informed Kane. Gresham was present too, staying as a spectator as had Jez curiously enough.<br>
<br>
As the Justiciar spoke there was a scribe off to the side dressed similarly as she had been.<br>
<br>
The Justiciar then continued, <span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“We will now begin the execution of Alban Greene. Alban Greene, you have been found guilty for committing treason and conspiring against the Queen and her Kingdom. You were connected to a series of secretive rebellious faction meetings and activities throughout the Kingdom. You helped supply weapons to your cause through partaking in the looting of armories. During your escape you lit fires to the homes of civilians to serve as a distraction. You were found hiding out nearby Evergate with other conspirators, which led to you arrest here today. You have committed  offenses which do not warrant any mercy in the eyes of the law. Because you cannot be trusted with a weapon, instead of fighting against the darkness, you will serve your death sentence out here today.”</span><br>
<br>
The young man didn’t appear to have much of a reaction to these words, his expression actually somewhat similar to how Jez’s had been before. He almost looked apathetic.<br>
<br>
She then gestured to the guards who brought the young man toward the headsman block to face forward toward her.<br>
<br>
Kane felt a bit of anticipation building knowing full well what was coming next, it was almost his time.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“Do you have any last words, Alban Greene?”</span> She then inquired.<br>
 <br>
<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">“...I hope this whole corrupt wretched Kingdom falls to the horde.” </span> After waiting some time to make sure he didn’t have anything else to say with a pause, Kane continuing to feel the anticipation build, the Justiciar’s voice broke the silence.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“Very well then.” </span>She then gave a gesture, to which the taller masked executioner placed a hand on the back and forced him down so his neck was on the block.<br>
<br>
When these words were said if anyone looked to Father Gresham, they'd see that it looked like he was starting to pray silently, averting his eyes.<br>
<br>
Kane then brandished his axe, before looking up at the taller one before getting an okay sign. Kane really hadn’t been expecting it to be a guy like this..just someone who could have as easily been an adventurer somewhere instead of turning to crime, probably not all much different than himself. Even so he had a job to do, and didn’t really have time to hesitate after getting the okay.<br>
<br>
Kane got into position and lifted the ax above his head like he had seen his father do many times before he used his Novice Decapitation ability, having lined the stroke up with the neck. He felt his heart rate increase a great deal as his axe went straight through the neck  and the head fell into the wooden collection container placed below the block, some blood spurting out.<br>
<br>

		</div>
	</div>
</div><br>
Had he really just done that? Kane looked down at his hands, was this how his father felt the first time? He felt somewhat shaken up, even if he knew what he did was just..but no he needed to show that he was capable, so he pretty quickly corrected and took a serious look, trying his best to not look at the body for the time being.<br>
<br>
Once the event concluded much had been cleared away in quick order, as it was reflected in the official records that Kane had carried out his first execution needed to  obtain his Royal Executioner  status properly rather than just being someone who was in training to reach the lowest rank. <br>
<br>
Kane cleaned his ax blade off, before making his way back down off the stage, looking a bit like he was in thought. He had thought his first would have been conducted midday rather than dark by lights…but it was what needed to happen and he had taken his first step of many forward that day. Presuming Victorique was around he made his way over toward her eventually, as well as Eliza who would be nearby had she stayed.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">“Well Kane..since you helped my brothers..I suppose even your sort can’t be all bad..”</span> she admitted.<br>

<b>Languages:</b> Common | &lt;Beastial&gt; | [Terran] | {Sylvan} <br>
<br>
The Owlbear was freaking her out and annoying her at the same time. Which was annoying.... and freaking her out. His gaze was scary, his words irked her. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I've got no clue what you're on about, but yeah, I do have some ties to the Spirit King through my [Spirit Companion] of the winds.”</b></span> She replied, figuring that was what he might've meant. Perhaps? <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Right, right.”</b></span> She had no clue what he was on about with his whole talk of intervening in dumping worm corpses. Sounded to her like they'd have been better off burning such things, but she was wise enough not to say so aloud.<br>
<br>
That said, her fear was slightly conquered by his next statement. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“&lt;There's a fine line between being mysterious and being obnoxious for interacting with a detective like myself.&gt;”</b></span> She sighed. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“&lt;Although it does sound like they've been handling the situation in a rather moronic way. One that was easy to abuse or make use of.&gt;”</b></span><br>
<br>
She chuckled a bit at Kane's reply. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Good, good. I wonder if they've got good whiskey here to go with the tobacco...”</b></span>  She wondered, before snapping out of it. There were more important things to do and debate.<br>
<br>
She decided to ignore the whole argument between Owlbear and priest. That wasn't hers to deal with. Instead, she was surprised by the cat dude's sudden bashfulness. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“&lt;There aren't any mayor languages that I'm not fluent in.&gt;”</b></span> She replied, with a tad of pride. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“&lt;So, in sort, it's monsters making clever use of the folk here being idiots?&gt;”</b></span> She asked, to confirm if she'd understood the feline fellow well enough.<br>
<br>
Victorique was taken a tad off-guard by Kane going full out on pandering to the Owlbear. Sure, he'd been of use, but she hadn't expected him to be such a paragon of virtue all of a sudden. She herself had no intention or desire to follow suit. It was pretty bloody clear the Owlbear didn't particularly care to know or respect her either, for what it was worth. <br>
<br>
To that degree, she was even a tad surprised the Justiciar went along with it. She's somehow expected these types to be more stubborn after being, you know, insulted and called a monkey. Even though this one was nice, it sort-off took away a bit of her initial respect for them to just roll over and play nice to an insulting Owlbear... but the latter wasn't exactly wrong either in that these folk had been idiots. So all in all, she just shrugged it off. Not her problem.<br>
<br>
What was, however, her problem, was defending Jez. Mostly because she'd made it her problem, but even so. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Being sceptical isn't the issue. Dismissing their usefulness and contributions too easily is. You can't allow someone to earn trust if you don't give them the chance to and I'd say giving her a chance might be well-worth the effort, considering the type of issues you're dealing with and the type of knowledge you might need again in the future.”</b></span> That was all she wished to say on that part, although she did make it an [Ultimate Argument] just for good measure.<br>
<br>
Ultimate Argument – Appraisal A, Heightened Senses [Hearing/Sight/Smell/Taste/Balance] B, Insight D, Perception C, Persuasion B, Law D, Energised B – Character takes in any information they can from someone and uses it when carefully picking their tone of voice and mannerisms to convey their argument in the most persuasive manner, tailored to whatever might suit the person they're trying to convince. - Grade A – 5 Post Cooldown.<br>
<br>
She was a tad surprised to see a slight smile on Jez's face, which made her return one. Look at her, making even more friends and stuff. Victorique was on fire today. That gave her an odd, but perhaps brilliant, idea. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“You want to have a drink with me and Kane later, to celebrate our success?”</b></span> She asked Jez. Perhaps now wasn't the ideal time, but she was still hyped up too much to care.<br>
<br>
That's when she was all the more surprised the mushroom fellow suddenly addressed her. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“{Ehm, right, thank you kindly, sir Mushroom Guardian Spirit... give my regards to the Spirit King.}”</b></span> She spoke, clearly having no clue how to interact with it without feeling like she was tripping from just looking at him whilst struggling equally to find a respectful tone. She figured she'd just stash the Mushroom away in her [Pocket Dimension] for now. She had no clue what it did or was, but it was rude to deny a gift and she'd rather not be rude to this being. Doing so might not be clever.<br>
<br>
She just nodded at the Justiciar's words, although she was eager to learn what would come of it.<br>
<br>
Victorique would start lighting up her pipe, if she wasn't suddenly picked up into a hug. Considering her size, it'd be pretty undoable to hug her otherwise, after all. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Whaa...”</b></span> She uttered, being taken by surprise. Dodgy as she was, not even she had been able to escape the clutches of this woman's gratitude.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Right, right... I'll pass on having stuff in my honour, there's no need for such things...”</b></span> She tapped Eliza's arm. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Now please... just... put me down. This is embarrassing.”</b></span> She stated. That said, the next promise did make her change her mind. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Unless it's needed for the fuller. Then I can deal with it.”</b></span> She quickly added, not wanting to risk the shot of riding one for her pride. Cool mecha stuff, in this one case at least, was more important than her dignity. <br>
<br>
To her surprise, she learned even more. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Aerial!?!”</b></span> She exclaimed. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Is there any chance you could drop me off at one of the Sky Kingdom's islands? I'm hoping to visit a library there! I was debating on asking my Wind Spirit companion to figure out how to get there, but this would be so much easier and better!”</b></span><br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center">- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -​</div><br>
She's smoked enough to debate visiting a healer soon by the time they finally got back on the latest news. Even so, she perked up when the Justiciar got back at her. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Oh wow... the whole body was a deception?”</b></span> That was surprising. Even so, she did feel enough empathy to be happy for Sirena. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Lord and Lady Hoyles should be happy to learn that.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She was, however, surprised to learn about the murder title degrees. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“It would have? Oh, right, I came her to learn about murder titles! I'd almost forgotten that due to my investigation! So, they're not just depended on numbers, but also on someone's importance?”</b></span> That was news to her.<br>
<br>
At the mention of the investigation into the academy she nodded and gave an (admittedly cocky) smile. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Should you fail to figure things out, you can request for me to help out again and I'll be sure to go investigate that academy the moment I'm done from my work in the Sky Kingdoms.”</b></span> She offered, still a bit curious into what she might've missed in this investigation, as there still seemed to be some more to it.<br>
<br>
She'd give the Justiciar a respectful bow. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Thank you for informing me.”</b></span> She replied to the dismissal.<br>
<br>
She was a tad surprised they went out of their way for Kane to be given someone else to execute, but shrugged. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I'm not sure what to say. Good luck, have fun or go get 'em. Any of those sound appropriate?”</b></span> She stated, somewhat serious, somewhat joking.<br>
<br>
An odd, morbid curiosity kept her eyes glued on the sights when Kane lobbed the man's head off. She'd seen some brutality, especially in the Underbelly, but seeing it staged as a show, rather than as a bloodsport or in battle... that was new. It was a tad odd that Eliza admitted Kane wasn't bad right after the latter chopped someone's head clean off, but she figured she'd not make a comment on it. Instead, she'd play the friendship part they'd agreed on. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Congratulations.”</b></span> She told Kane, figuring this first job done was an important first step to him.</div>

Professor Neco looked back at Victorique and nodded, paying attention to what she had to say.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“&lt;I see as I say, most impressive, I will admit I am only fluent in common, beastial and Terran myself.&gt;” <br>
<br>
“&lt;Well yes in a way, as I was saying, the the Kingdom being so close to the dark Continent has always put it’s balance in jeopardy, even more so than certain other areas in the world, but I believe there has been an increase of monster activity due to the combination of unsustainable practices and perhaps nefarious activity, and through this activity, some monsters are more than likely taking advantage of..’idiots’ as you would say.&gt;”</span><br>

He seemed to roll his eyes when he saw the Justiciar be so forgiving to Gyld. He then proceeded to speak in Terran.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">“[While the dark one may do as he may, I respectfully really don’t see why you’re so kind to some of these people, a mere animal at that, I’ve warned you in the past that while kindness can be a virtue it can also be a weakness,  as  you’re here to represent the crown, It’d be more becoming of you to stand your ground more. I understand that he helped us, but that’s no reason to accept this level of disrespect.]” </span>It appeared that Father Gresham at least agreed with Victorque on one thing even if he didn’t know it.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">Royal Justiciar Corbyn<br>

The Justiciar seemed to contemplate the Priest’s words.<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)"> “[I believe that creating more conflict with a potentially useful ally is unnecessary. You saw that he turned the tide in our favor..however your point is well taken, as I continue to get used to this position..]”</span><br>
<br>
While Father Gresham listened to what Victorique had to say, her ability making her word more impactful, he looked reluctant, a skeptical gaze coming from him at her words.<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)"> “I understand the words you speak, with that potential usefulness said in the present and the future, I still believe her to be a risk, even if I am willing to concede that she helped in the investigation as you say.”</span> That was at least an improvement that Victorique managed to get out of him, willing to admit that Jez had been useful.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Jez<br>

Jez noticed the smile prompting her to maintain contact longer. Then Victorique asked her if she wanted to go drinking with them.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “I find that prospect to be pleasant, I’ll accompany you and Kane to celebrate then, thank you.”</span> With the warmer choice of words and expression, her voice was still fairly deadpan even if it was obvious she wasn’t feeling that way otherwise, a peculiar young woman indeed.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">Eliza Talton<br>

Eliza eventually heeded Victorique’s request to be put down after her arm was tapped, even as tightly as she hugged her.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">“Oh pardon me! But I just simply couldn’t help myself there.”</span> She followed up.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">“I see…hm, I really would insist but I can tell that perhaps that it isn’t your style, personally I’d thoroughly enjoy such an opportunity to get the recognition I deserved by one of Rotia’s Noble families, but It’s fine.”</span><br>
<br>
Kane chuckled a bit upon hearing Victorique say she’d be okay with it if it was needed to ride in the Fuller. Similar to how he was willing  to make it clear he respected someone even if perhaps it made him perhaps break the walls he had put up around himself, albeit temporarily he understood wanting to ride in a Fuller. That might have been a job he would have taken on under different circumstances, adventuring in one of them.<br>
<br>
Eliza lit up herself with a smile when Victorique appeared excited at hearing that the Fuller was capable of aerial travel.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">“Well yes, it’s capable of flight..as for the Sky Kingdom, that would be a somewhat involved journey given the distance, but I wouldn’t say it’s impossible, particularly not if i have it changed to it’s form which has flight in mind, you see I met this traveling engineer sort from Widersia..they’re quite interesting with the sort of technology they’ve suggested combining with the magic technology of the Kingdom, so perhaps If I can consult them and see what they think if they think it’s possible with the proper work done, then I have no qualms about giving you a ride there and back, after all you saved both of my brother’s it’s the least I could do.”</span><br>
<br>
Kane heard this development and looked rather intrigued by it. He had heard of the Sky Kingdom before, that was the sort of place even many adventurers never got to see in their life time due to it being out of many individual’s grasp. It only reaffirmed to him just how well off those were at the top, being able to afford such expeditions or owning what was necessary to go there outright even..he couldn’t help but feel like in some ways he yearned for that kind of freedom and mobility.<br>
----<br>
<br>
Justiciar Corbyn was swift to agree at Victorique’s words. <span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“That would be my assumption, despite the recent..challenges, the perception I’ve gained is that they both care about their children very much despite the recent..more problematic personal life developments.”</span><br>
<br>
She looked curious when Victorique mentioned that she had gone there to investigate murder titles.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“I suppose that’s fitting for a detective to want to learn about, but yes, it is not only quantity but the importance of who is murdered. For example, in the theoretical,  if you were to be the one who murdered the King of a Kingdom  you would likely earn the highest obtainable murder title grade, even if they were the only one who you killed.  But it is also true that number can raise the penalty, harming large groups of people can earn hefty criminal titles as well as it sounds you’re aware.”</span><br>
<br>
Justiciar Corbyn looked like she was in thought for a moment before she smiled a bit,<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)"> "I’ll make sure to keep that in mind, you certainly pulled your weight here, and I’d be inclined to pass on in my formal report that you are a potentially valuable asset to future investigations moving forward based on what I’ve seen here today. Of course I will also mention how many of you have assisted Evergate and its people as well, in the consolidated final report.”</span><br>
<br>
On the latter sentence she looked to Gyld, Professor Neco, Victorique, Kane, and Jez.<br>
<br>
She was receptive to Victorique’s respectful bow, appreciating it.<br>
<br>
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Hey look I wasn’t really expecting this  but I’m not complaining, not exactly unheard of either though, one day my dad was scheduled to carry out the sentence on a  real mean bastard, but the guy died of natural causes on the day of his execution and they just sent out the next in line, anyway, I can use all the luck I can get around here, so I appreciate it.”</span> He grinned back.<br>
----<br>
<br>
Kane on the other hand looked a bit skeptically at Eliza after she told him that.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)"> “What, you think it’s not so bad that I just lopped that criminal’s head off?”</span> He’d snicker.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Maybe the Taltons have a darker and more interesting history then I would have guessed, but that’s not really my problem, but truthfully I don’t really care much what you think, I just know that I believe that only those who earned it should be on the receiving end of my ax.”</span> Kane said to the point.<br>
<br>
It appeared even Kane had found her choice to tell him that after the act odd, but in his case humorous.<br>
<br>
Eliza huffed, <span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">“Ugh, even when I try to turn advice into action,  you commoners really are all the same aren’t you?”</span> She’d pout, it seemed the humor that Kane had found on her somewhat less than appropriate timing was lost on her.<br>
<br>
However the executioner did give Victorique another smile when she told him that. <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Thanks for staying, given well you know,..but even I can admit it’s nice that my first friend got to see my first one.” </span><br>
He then paused for a moment.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“It feels..a lot different when you’re the one doing it instead of watching closeby and  helping to get the supplies ready.”</span> He said a bit reflectively.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Anyway..if that’s all, guess we should go get that drink then huh?” </span>He said looking to Victorique then Jez who had stayed the whole time and watched, her face not really changing during it.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">“Wait, before you go.”</span> Eliza held out a brown leather pouch of Rykes and held it out to Victorique.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">“I did..well hire your services in my mind, so please take this, if you don’t want to partake in a gathering that’s fine, but please I insist. As for the rest of your reward please feel free to come by soon I’ll arrange for transport, here is my contact information.”</span> She additionally handed over a piece of parchment which had address information written down in common, as well as a signature of her’s.<br>
---<br>
From that point once everything had been settled, and they were free to leave presumably Jez, Kane, and Victorique went off to go and get their celebratory drink, Kane recommending the same place which Gyld, Phoebe and Professor Neco had stopped at earlier, it being a place where many adventurers stopped and being more diverse, he figured Victorique was more likely to blend in with the mixed variety of races which frequented it. It was a multi-leveled building on the main street of the village so to speak, which acted in part as a restaurant, as well as bar, and there were even some rooms above which people could pay coin to stay in should they so desire, a tavern of sorts.<br>
<br>

As the trio approached the new sounds of a bard singing a different tune from before could be heard distantly on a lute of sorts, singing a song about a legendary king of Rotia who  defeated a great monster in a legendary battle with his fuller, while they strummed. There were humans with various equipments from catalysts to swords, a couple dwarves drinking down large tankards of beer, as well as Fae intermingled and even a few more humanoid looking constructs, as well as people who more obviously looked like Fuller pilots relaxing after a long day’s work, and even a few Evergate militia guards.  Some groups look like they were arranged by adventurer party, while others were socializing with strangers. On the ground level near the bard, there was a warm crackling fire which was pleasant on a cool night, and there was a bar not all so far away from the entrance against a back wall.<br>
<br>
Kane walked up ignoring some of the looks he was getting, as it was pretty obvious what he was with the executioner style axe put on his back, no appraisal really needed, as well as Jez who equally ignored any attention she was getting as they entered the establishment and headed toward the back at the bar.<br>
<br>
A strong more mature man who was reasonably well dressed stood behind it, before looking at them.<br>

<b>Languages:</b> Common | &lt;Beastial&gt; | [Terran] | {Sylvan} <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“&lt;Thanks.&gt;”</b></span> She'd replied to the feline fellow's compliment on her linguistic talents. She nodded at his further explanation, as it seemed to make enough sense to not need further questioning.<br>
<br>
On the other hand, Victorique was a tad surprised she shared a sentiment with the priest of all people. Namely about the justice not really being all that firm. She decided it'd be best not to comment on it. She would nod at the priest regarding his otherwise reluctant admission of Jez's usefulness in this case. That was enough for now.<br>
<br>
She was rather surprised that Jez took her op on the offer. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“That's great!”</b></span> She spoke, wondering if she could have Kane make a second friend while at it (and make another one of her own as well). It did feel like there was a bit more than met the eyes beyond the normal deadpan gaze of Jez's.<br>
<br>
Upon being released from Eliza's clutches, she tried to straighten her clothing back up a bit. On the one hand, Victorique was a bit of a prideful creature. Being in the spotlight could be fun. One the other hand, she'd seen what most of these nobles were like and really didn't fancy interacting with them more than necessary. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Perhaps one day in the future, once I also figure out the details of who or what even caused the mushroom guardian to turn into a monster.”</b></span> She'd state, still wondering what more there was to it, as it felt too coordinated to be a mere accident.<br>
<br>
She got a lot more excited about the possible journey to the Sky Kingdom. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Oh, that seems great! I've only been to the shire parts of Widersia, so I have no clue what Clockhaven is like, but mixing their technology and magic seems like it'd be interesting, especially if it can get me to the Sky Kingdom!”</b></span> She was already eager to go, but it'd have to wait a bit longer.<br>
<br>
The justiciar's explanations of titles were some good information to gain. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Do you know if someone's status can overrule a criminal title of their own? From what I've gathered, crimes against criminals wield no criminal titles, right? So if someone really high up, like a king or emperor, were to theoretically steal once, would that mean even the high great [Murder] title one might gain would be voided by a low grade [Thief] title held by such a person?”</b></span> She asked, really curious to get into the nitty-gritty of this, now that she was finally back on topic with her original quest.<br>
<br>
Needlessly to say, Victorique replied to the recommendation comment with a proud smile. Getting her name praised in some official documents was always a good thing.<br>
<br>
She wasn't sure how to reply to Kane's gratitude, other than a hesitant <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“You're welcome.”</b></span> as it wasn't exactly a party they were dealing with. It was kind-off gruesome to lob a man's head off in a public display, no matter how you looked at it. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I can imagine.”</b></span> She replied at his comment at how different it felt. Ending someone's life... that was a thing she'd never hope to experience, even though she might be investigating people to the point she'd sent then into such a fate before long.<br>
<br>
To her surprise, she was handed a decent bit of money by Eliza. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Thank you.”</b></span> She replied, putting the bag in her [Pocket Dimension] for now. She did chuckle at the 'please, I insist' part. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I'll admit there's not a lot of need to insist, as I just realised I wouldn't even have enough money to find a room for the night if I didn't accept~”</b></span> She made a bit of a joke out of it, but with a decent part of her meagre earnings going to tobacco, this was a financial windfall she could really use. That said, she went from nearly broke to having a fair bit of spare change, so she'd glance at Jez and Kane. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“First round is on me.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Upon receiving the contact info, her smile continued. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I'll be looking forwards to visiting soon!”</b></span> She replied, as other than the transport deal, she did wonder if Eliza's house would be as fancy as the Hoyles place had been. She hadn't really been able to enjoy hanging out in that one considering the circumstances, but she did like the idea of getting a taste of the luxury life of a rich person.<br>
<br>
Upon arriving at the bar, she couldn't help notice it felt a fair bit different than the rest of the town. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“It's surprisingly cosy.”</b></span> She commented. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“A large monster attacking? That sounds like quite the thing.”</b></span> She replied, chuckling a bit at her 'joke' to the Bartender. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Let's say we got a front-row view of it.”</b></span><br>
<br>
You know, the one thing she absolutely hated in this new life? Having to order booze at a bar without being able to look over the counter. It seemed like her challenges hadn't ended yet, as she'd order. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“A double of your finest whiskey please, no ice. It's cold enough already.”</b></span></div>

			<div class="bbCodeBlock-content">Instead of becoming apologetic. Father Gresham seemed to scoff,<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">“I can assure you I am distinguished by a divine connection far beyond your comprehension, Balance of nature? This land is for us to use by divine right, we are the chosen people by the Valcori, Faith and faith alone will allow us to survive and thrive. It is those who have fallen away from the path of righteousness and choose to blaspheme as well as the monsters who cause our plights. This is my truth, so say what you will then. Even if you choose not to speak to me again, I will say that I appreciate that you helped save lives here, as that is undeniable." </span><br>
<br>
A sort of ambivalent response of sorts to Gyld, irrespectively it seemed to Father Gresham Gyld wasn’t exactly the target audience of his religion, it was more than likely he was skeptical of anything related to what appeared more in line with the Fae religion to him.</div>
		</div>
	</div>
</div><br>
"HA!" Gyld chuckled low in his throat, "You recall just the one life. A hundred years perhaps? Come and seek me out after a thousand years of comprehension. A tree grown in a green house has roots twisted by the pot it was raised in. Only the deep forest trees have depth and breadth to their roots, touching upon mysteries and truths the span the whole forest." And because he liked to get the last word in, Gyld turned his back on Father Gresham and padded away from the monkey priest.<br>
<br>

			<div class="bbCodeBlock-content">Upon getting Gyld’s full attention he nodded in agreement.<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)"> “&lt;I fear that the increased monster activity is more systemic than they believe. While I am uncertain if it is possible to bring complete peace, I do believe that with effort the balance of the light and the dark will be achievable, after all whether one wishes to accept it as truth, monsters are part of nature.&gt;”</span><br>
<br>
Professor Neco looked intrigued as to what Gyld was referencing, like perhaps he’d be keen on hearing more about either.</div>
		</div>
	</div>
</div><br>
"&lt;Of course Professor! We toiled beyond the walls of this fort, righted the balance of the North, and those that matter know.&gt;" Gyld tilted his beak towards the sky and let out a loud shriek of raw, primal authority. "&lt;I was never too inclined to contain and encircle life as these city dwellers are.&gt;" Gyld shrugged. "&lt;City dwellers tend to overwhelm nature, introduce solutions which only overwhelm nature more.&gt;" Looking out over the populace Gyld was about to say more but for once didn't saw the words on his mind.<br>
<br>

			<div class="bbCodeBlock-content">At the next point that Gyld was clearly displeased with the way he was being referred too, that was when Kane felt like speaking up.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Hey, could everyone y’know try to learn his name at least? I mean he seriously helped this whole place out, the battle could have gone the other way had he not been here to assist, one of the fullers had already started to fail and the other ones while putting in the work just weren’t effective enough with it’s regeneration. It was his efforts that forced the at least then monster to go on the defensive, buying enough time for Victorique to nab the idol, so, whatever you preferred to be called, that’s how I’ll call you, and I thank you for helping the people here when you were under no obligation to do so.”</span><br>
<br>
Kane then symbolically took a kneel to Gyld to demonstrate his respect. He wasn’t particularly bothered by the use of the ‘monkey’ response as it was the same as the other two had called him so it was pretty understandable that Gyld said it back.</div>
		</div>
	</div>
</div><br>
"The smell of death and blood is great on you, Kane." Gyld said, after all flattery was the surest way to his heart. "I am <b>Gyld Aza Lyrakien, Spirit Guardian of the [Northern Eternal Glade]." </b>Looking around at the monkey's who called themselves humans, "I set right the Wheel even if those whose lifecycles depend on it are ignorant of such actions, but I do prefer for them to praise me." Reaching out, Gyld raised one long, black owl talon to his beak and snapped it at the quick. Some small blood leaked out but he regenerated with vivid green and stark white motes from the [Northern Eternal Glade]. "Take this as a token and a pledge, should you need me, I will come." <br>
<br>
In later years, such small totems would be priceless heirlooms to whichever tribe Kane founded, but in order for their value to rise, he did have to start planting seeds. <br>
<br>

How would you like to be referred to?”</span><br>
<br>
Thankfully this Justiciar was not only kind in her sentencing so far it seemed but she also wasn’t getting all high and mighty and being spiteful toward Gyld, demonstrating at the very least that she had some sense that what had been said hadn’t been cool.</div>
		</div>
	</div>
</div><br>
"It is quite inappropriate to refer to anyone who helps by such base and inaccurate terms, but I've seen kingdoms do much worse to their allies, known or unknown." Gyld gestures towards the Spiritual Guardian of the Mycelium Network. "Neglected, abused, and cast aside, then," Gyld gestured back towards Father Gresham, "Then  justified through arrogance of superiority. Kill the bees because they stung you, ignore the fact that you stole their honey or that without the bees all your crops will die within a season or two." Gyld brightened thought, as repetition breeds faith as no doubt Father Gresham knew. ""I am <b>Gyld Aza Lyrakien, Spirit Guardian of the [Northern Eternal Glade]. </b>I set right the Wheel even if those whose lifecycles depend on it are ignorant of such actions, but I do prefer for them to praise me. A song should be commissioned to commemorate this battle." His intense, liquid gold eyes continued to stare down at the justicar, "It was an epic battle with a satisfying conclusion." <br>

They are contributing to this imbalance. While there is unsustainable human activity here, which I have adapted to over the years, I will say the ones who I believe are tipping the scales of burden out of balance are the ones which I encountered. When I was compromised I remember a circle of hooded figures, some who were wielding catalysts, others daggers.. and it wasn’t all much longer after that point, I may have lost consciousness..whether or not they were cultists as the human judge inquired, I am uncertain. I encountered this group beyond the walls, or perhaps it was more accurate they seeked me out and targeted me.:”</span> It looked like the Mushroom guardian could understand common but perhaps did not speak it itself, or it did not desire to use such a language.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“:Even so, Gyld, one who guards the Glade and North, for restoring me I would like to present you with this gift, if you would accept it.

		</div>
	</div>
</div><br>
Gyld nodded expecting as much. For the second time, Gyld snapped off one of his [Natural Weapon E] black owl talons and gave the totem to the Guardian. ":We have a concordance. You have given me of you, and I give you of me. By chemical, word, or [Glade], send for me and I shall restore the Wheel once more.:"<br>

While humans are imperfect, I can see that they are capable of good too.&gt;”</span><br>
<br>
<br>
For now the Mushroom Guardian waited to hear from anyone else who wished to speak to it but it was likely that it would depart as it had said soon enough to go and take care of the mess that had been made.</div>

As we've yet to commission a song for our grand adventures.&gt;" Hefting the gleaming mushroom, "&lt;Singers and dreamers would appreciate such magic mushrooms. We will find a bard and share a dream with them, a dream which shall serve as their muse. A dream which shall compel them to sing of our exploits.&gt;" Gyld's eyes gleamed with glee. "&lt;When we are done, Professor, you will be remembered as the Great Sage of the North and I its greatest Spiritual Guardian.&gt;"<br>

While the Professor sought the warmth of his laboratory, Gyld was not so studious. He enjoyed the cold air and the brisk night, and it was not yet time for a long winter's nap. Instead, he urged the Professor onwards until they could find a bard of suitable skill to share the magic mushroom with and commission a song that all the North would sing. A song that sung of the greatness of the Spiritual Guardian of the Northern Eternal Glade.</div>

Father Gresham didn’t say another word to Gyld, either deciding it wasn’t worth arguing any longer or perhaps he had been taken by the guardian’s point, regardless he no longer spoke, but listened.<br>

Professor Neco seemed to light up when he heard Gyld shriek, like it was a noise of familiarity<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">““&lt;Well Said Gyld, I look forward to working forward with you in the future, from what I’ve seen today we’ll be more than capable of dealing with what needs to be dealt with moving forward. You are welcome back at my lab anytime, hopefully Phoebe will be able to join us again too, I do truly believe her heart is good and unlike many she would be likely to understand what you speak of as I do.&gt;”</span><br>

The executioner was not expecting the owlbear guardian to speak well of him like that. Regardless he graciously accepted the talon gift, not really sure what else to do when you had someone who was clearly powerful offering your something which showed their appreciation of your sentiment it seemed.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Thank you, I’ll make sure to hold onto it. Those who put themselves in danger for the safety of others selflessly, will always get some respect outta me..so to receive something like this, I really appreciate it.”</span> Kane replied, speaking more articulately than he had in some time.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The Justiciar was somewhat surprised by Gyld saying the battle should be made into a song but she did communicate that the words he spoke were not lost on her about how there were natural connections in the world as well as cycles   and reiterated that she understood what he meant, even if just to keep the peace some thanking him again, resulting in Father Gresham rolling his eyes once again.<br>

<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“&lt;Very well! I shall come along with you and we can find this bard, there should be plenty around, this time of night to talk too, If we’re fortunate we’ll find just the right one to immortalize this battle in song, afterall today was a day for the records, as bards accomplish!&gt;” </span>He replied cheerily.<br>
<br>
From that point the pair went off together and would find a bard which they could share the mushroom with so that a song could be made. Eventually they would which Gyld could share the mushroom with should he desire so that a song to his liking could be made.<br>

Eliza looked pleased that Victorique sounded like she was at least entertaining the possibility of it. Of course Kane was less than thrilled, as he tended to hold the unfair opinion that pretty much all of the nobles were the same, as he had shared before, fair or not, it was his perception, nodding listlessly when Eliza mentioned the prospect of some grandiose celebration.<br>
<br>
However he did look more interested with the dialogue about getting to the Sky Kingdom.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">“That would be my hope, they’re quite bright, if anyone can figure out if it's feasible it’d be them.” </span><br>

Royal Justiciar Corbyn listened to Victorique’s questions. <span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">“That is correct, titles which fall under the category of criminal acts cannot be incurred from harming criminals, this is true even in the case if a King or emperor who had committed a lower offense was murdered. Instead it is likely in my professional opinion that the person who killed the leader would still earn a prolific title indicating that they slayed the leader of a nation. While it might not be marked as criminal in nature it would still cause considerable trouble for them in the place the leader they killed was from."</span><br>
<br>
Kane’s face looked a bit more serious while he received the gratitude, it wasn’t lost on him that what he had done wasn’t exactly a tea party. But he did nod her way.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">“Of course, I can’t let the one who saved my brothers sleep out on the streets like some of the riff raft around these parts! Should you find yourself short and need to spend the night in the Kingdom of Rotia again, let me know and I’ll to it that accomodations  are made!”</span> Eliza seemed to insist.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Heh, thanks, while I get benefits from my job, it doesn’t really apply to drinking out at the place we’re heading too, so it’s appreciated.”</span> Kane said with a grin once more looking to Victorique upon her hearing she’d pay.<br>
<br>
Jez also looked to her.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Understood.”</span> She said with a soft smile, sounding as deadpan as ever.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">“As will I look forward to you coming!” </span>Eliza replied positively.<br>

So there really was one. Top shelf whisky you love to see it. I’ve seen others of your kind around here before, so I know you can handle your alcohol, no worries.” </span>He said with a bit of his own chuckle, probably referencing how Victorique could pass for someone younger had she been a different race especially.<br>
<br>
He then served up Victorique the whiskey which she requested, the bottle he pulled them from looked quite ornate, giving her the glasses of the stuff, no ice.<br>
<br>
Kane received his mead in a more wooden circular handled type cup, which he was evidently pleased with taking a seat and drinking away.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Yeah that’s the stuff.."<br>
<br>
“Hopefully we’ll have many more celebrations to come.” </span>He said looking to Victorique and Jez. Jez had ordered a red wine, which she seemed to be enjoying herself, giving a nod to Kane at that point.<br>
<br>
---<br>
The trio were able to drink in merriment rather peacefully from that point onward. They had conversations and were free to enjoy each other’s company and the environment which they were in. With no disturbances after the drinking they were able to find secure rooms for the night when it was time to retire. Between the murder, execution and the battle, the snow of Evergate in the  Kingdom of Rotia had indeed become much redder than it been prior, the crimson hue showing up in the snow dynamically,  but hopefully with Victorque’s, Gyld’s and Kane’s contributions the snow would remain whitter for a long time to come.<br>

No shocker, this being a 2nd parter makes the beginning a bit of a catchup for a reader.  Too bad not everyone made it to the end. Seemed like pacing was a bit of an issue.  Wondered if the last 2 pages of the rp coulda been condensed some. Rp feels like a nice conclusion to an opening chapter in Kingdom. Spring is coming to Kingdom and the more brutal winter will relax for a bit. <br>
