It will take place in a vast and magic filled swamp-like forest on the edge of the Dark Continent, where a powerful Hag is rumoured to live. Many seek out this place in the hope that she will fulfil their wish or prophetise their past and future, but few return. Even so, the Overgrown Marshes have yet again attracted some brave adventures and monsters alike.<br>

Kalina was tired, having just finished the long trip to the Dark Continent. It hadn't been easy, but now that she finally made it... She realised yet another long journey awaited her. These swamps were vast and there wasn't a single thing that could show her the direction she was meant to head in. Some odd scents and fumes had filled her nostrils, making her wonder how long she'd be able to last in this place were she to truly get lost... if she wasn't truly lost already. At first, she'd travelled whilst trying to stay somewhat stealthy.<br>
<br>
By now she was travelling trying to stand out, hoping that someone or something would find her and tell her where in the world she was or where she had to go to. She was confident she'd been travelling north, but... well, her compass surely wasn't pointing north any-more, as it was spinning like crazy instead. Her rations of blood vials were also running low. She'd been very well-prepared, or so she thought, but it felt like just about everything that could go wrong had gone wrong thus far. Besides, she hadn't even found any drink-able cattle here, so if she ran out... She didn't want to think about it. Instead, she gritted her fangs and pressed on, hoping to spot a sing of life somewhere.</div>

Farther down the muddy moss-stricken road, one would stumble upon the carcass of a dead animal lain upon the banks of the stagnant swamp. The corpse was around the size of a large cattle bull and it had been laying there for quite some time - at least for several hours by the looks of it. Still, it had plenty of meat on its bones. The smell of blood and rotting flesh would've already attracted much of the resident fauna to scavenge its remains like a dinner bell in a restaurant, but the site was currently barren. And oddly so. Aside from the swarm of blood sucking flies hovering over the corpse and the maggots digging in at the ground, no other signs of animals around the area could be visibly seen. One would typically find alligator-like beasts in an absolute feeding frenzy over for the best cuts, or birds pecking at exposed orifices for the more delicate pieces. Even rats should be seen gnawing at the tough skin to get at the unexposed fresh bits still unspoiled by the elements.<br>
<br>
Even if one were to come around to look at the exposed belly, smelling the warm rotten flesh intermingle with the stagnant murky bayou air, there was not a single significant soul that could be seen. Clearly it had already been picked off by scavengers prior, but it looked as if something interrupted their supper. Or perhaps.. something or someone else had claimed it for themselves. There was a large clean slash raking horizontally across the corpse's flank side, as if a blade sliced through it, with the eviscerated guts showing signs of having been ripped and chewed on. Deep bite marks could be seen on the legs, which looked very much like the work of gators, but with the width of the teeth being skinner and more V-shaped. And one of the bottom bloodied legs laid away from the corpse, looking as if it was sawed off rather then being cleanly cut like with the belly.<br>
<br>
All of this could then be reasonably assumed that it was the work of a monster in these parts.<br>
<br>
But where did it go? For it had seemed to have long since left the area, leaving very little clues to where it might've went. There were no signs of any trackways imprinted on the muddied ground, meaning the creature didn't leave the scene on land. Maybe the monster had wings and it flew away, or that it slipped back into the pond-scummed waters with its webbed feet? Both were fairly good assumptions, but it was hard to say by just looking at the carcass' immediate vicinity.<br>
<br>
Yet if one was to look just a bit further down the water's edge, they would come across an unexpected sight. There stood a giant great sword, over 7 feet tall, embedded blade-first into the muck. It was titling slightly towards the swampy lake, with its dark-colored blade showing signs of dried blood and gore caked into it. Jagged edges adorned towards its bladed edge, with a yellow streak running directly down the middle and leading to a fancied hilt of a predominantly bone-white color with four yellow spikes jutting out from the circular base. Most curiously of all, there was a large shiny blue gem embedded directly within the middle of the hilt, still gleaming pristinely within the damp dark marsh. One could also see a set of basic belongings neatly packed and leaning against the sword.<br>
<br>
Could these belong to the monster responsible for this killing?<br>
<br>
Surely it must been close by or planning to return back soon. But aside from this, there didn't seem to be any further signs of activity stirring. Though he only other particular thing in sight was a wide, relatively thin object sticking out of the green algae pond about roughly 10 meters out. It had a uniquely adorned pattern of yellow spots overlain against a jet-black backdrop, lightly adorned by the green scum on top. Was it some kind of elaborate art piece? Maybe a giant shield? Yet it too stands motionlessly, swaying only subtly against the faint current of the brackish water... being an odd site within a predominately green locale.</div>

<br>
Scylla entered the swamp hesitantly, watching in awe and a bit uneasy with the eerie setting before her. She opened a small journal after pulling it out of her robes, and observed an illustration of a particular plant that dwelled within this marsh.<br>
<br>
After becoming a student to the Ryken Academy, her first task in alchemy was finding and retrieving this plant. Her teacher's hope was to find a specimen that still bore seeds thus making an addition of various strains into the Academy’s research garden.<br>
<br>
She picked up the front of her dress with a pinch, as she turned to her colleague Clarice. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“H-hey! Clarice..”</span> She asked sheepishly as she moved a golden lock away from her eyes,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..how do we know this rare plant won’t have some kind of way to defend itself.. I mean..”</span> she shrugged.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..seems like every mage that has gone out to retrieve it never makes it back.”</span> She then suddenly sulked and looked down. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Maybe they want us killed.. maybe, we’re just not all that great.” </span><br>
<br>
She continued to sulk for a bit before bursting out,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Enough of silly thoughts!”</span> She exclaimed with a bright smile that could turn the night into day, before turning towards the beaten path.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Allow me to officially take the first step!”</span> She said as she picked up one of her feet in front of her playfully before taking a big step forward and setting a patient pace.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Well, here goes nothing!”</span><br>
<br>
As they got deeper into the swamp, the scent of the air changed, it got colder and the bugs seemed to be bigger, likely to the teeming biology in this seemingly ancient swamp.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Gee.. I can't believe I agreed to this..”</span> she admitted as she scratched her head, looking at the eerie scenery.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..now here I am.. freshly accepted into the academy, about to be some horrible creature's dinner.” </span>She said rolling her eyes.<br>
<br>
Before long the scent in the air became putrid, compelling Scylla to bring a hand to her nose as she beheld the gruesome sight before her.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Ew.. what is that?” </span>She asked disgustedly, before noticing a massive sword with its blade into the mud. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Hey over there!”</span> She called out, before noticing the lacerations on the dead creature's body.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Is.. that a sword?” </span>She said likely asking herself. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“I knew I should have paid more attention in Telekinesis class!”</span> She said frantically.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “I’m.. I'm not getting close to that dead thing or that..”</span> her eyes began to shine at the sight of the shiny blue crystal in the sword, letting out a drawn out gasp. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“..that.. shiny sapphire.”</span><br>
<br>
She quickly snapped out of her distraction however, before tapping Clarice on the shoulder.<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Well.. nothing to see here but horror..” </span>She said surprisingly happy.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..shall we continue?”</span><br>

Ever since the events in Aborhaven, Cayde changed. He'd been eating healthier, started to groom his hair more, improved his sleeping schedule, and crafted new recipes, but most importantly, he started having visions. He thought himself insane by putting it that way, but '<i>visions'</i> was the only word to describe it. Every waking moment, from his free time to the little increments between teaching Kesh, he'd feel himself drift back to the shrine within Aegorizea's roots, standing alone before the draconic god itself. But, this time, Aegorizea did not leave. Instead, that same divine aura began to engulf him, filling the chamber with an incomprehensibly bright light and shrinking his body smaller, smaller, and smaller. Before the radiance reduced his body to a size of a pea, he felt the same as he did back then: feebleminded, inferior, insignificant, envious.<br>
<br>
He hadn't told anyone about them yet, not even Kesh. Outside of his uncle's store, Cayde was supposed to be her teacher, he couldn't worry her with his concerning thoughts. Still, every moment he kept them bottled up, he only grew more curious. He needed answers, and someone on this continent had them.<br>
<br>
The snap of a branch under his feet brought him back to the present. So here he was, trudging through pungent water, searching for god-knows-what, all while wracked with a sense of deja vu. The swamp reminded him a lot of the woods back in Aston, both uneasy and anxiety-inducing in their own right. Unlike Aston, however, Cayde came prepared. This time, he had a freshly polished crossbow, plenty of crafting ingredients, and his most deadly weapon yet, a rat, on his back. No creature would push him around today, or so he hoped.<br>
<br>
He paused the trek to survey his surroundings. Besides the distinctive smell of the mud and a few birds screeching in the distance, it seemed he and Kesh were relatively safe. As safe as they could be in the monster continent, anyway. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Alright, Kesh, I think we're still in the clear," </b></span>He said, resuming his pace again, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"If you're getting tired of the view, you can always come down, y'know. Back's getting a little tired..." </b></span>But, before he could stop to let her down, the acrid smell of rot wafted through his mask and up his nostrils. Cayde froze, and his eyes narrowed. He glanced in Kesh's direction, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Nevermind." </b></span><br>
<br>
It wouldn't take long until he found the source of the smell. In the distance, he could see the silhouette of something lying near the water. It was hard to distinguish its features from his position, but Cayde didn't need any more confirmation to know it was dead. That was one red flag; the other came from the massive sword not too far from the corpse. The blade, partially submerged in the mud, was certainly not crude, Cayde noticing the showiness of the edges and the brilliant gem adorning the hilt. He peeked up at Kesh, already knowing what was going through the rat-kin's mind, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Don't even think about it." </b></span><br>
<br>
The next surprise came from the two figures he spotted further down the way. He identified one as a woman, sporting a very witchy getup. The other, he couldn't tell for sure, though it seemed the two were together. Neither looked like the sword's owner; that could mean two things. One: they were likely adventurers like him and Kesh and stumbled upon it just like they did. And two, whatever wielded the blade was still out there.<br>
<br>
There'd be no way of knowing either without speaking to them. Cayde drew a bit closer, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Hey! You two!" </b></span>He called out, waving an arm in the pair's direction. He raised one finger, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Firstly, is that your sword stuck in the mud?" </b></span>He asked, pointing at the sword and lifting another finger, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Secondly, and most important of all..." </b></span>He paused to glance at them both, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Are you two friendly?" </b></span><br>
<br>
He dropped his arm to his side and let out a breathy sigh. He did not want a sour encounter so early in the adventure, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b><i>"Please</i></b>, <b>say yes." </b></span></div>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1659665212938-png.1009096/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/946/946226-cb1c386a8cbfae7ed1289952dbff9697.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1659665212938.png" title="1659665212938.png" width="100" height="114" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Kesh was on Cayde's back, smiling a large and ugly one as she kept whispering under her breath with each step Cayde had taken, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"><i>rat. rat. rat. rat. rat. rat. ratta. rattata. rat. </i></span></b>" Kesh was thinking of those events of Arborhaven... And how much drugs she inserted into herself; she got really disoriented that night, although the look upon a god was something of amazing in the mind of this Ratkin, she was very surprised that such a thing existed. But she still didn't like religions and how they controlled the populace, despite her and Ceylan's discussion about religion in which Kesh sniffed up <i>Frog Dust</i>, a dust off of dried off frogs that helped one with their thinking and focus... Or so she thought, it instead made her talk in rambles and then pass out from talking too much about nothing but how good <i>Frog Dust</i> was. Have you ever wanted to become a megalomaniac God obsessed with the farts of potatoes? Well look no further with the <i>Frog Dust</i>. And yes it has to be spelled that specific way. That also said, she did keep that medallion the god had given them, it was just, uh, sitting in some pawn shop right now.<br>
<br>
That was usually the thoughts that generated in her strange head. Her thoughts came rushing back when Cayde spotted something in the distance, when he commented to Kesh to not indulge in her Ratkin ways, she was already leaning over his shoulder, drooling at the mouth with eyes wide enough to make her rat eyes bulge out of her rat skull. In conclusion. She wanted that sword. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Can sell for gold-money though....!</span></b> " She complained as she then slipped off Cayde slowly like a slug till she landed on the ground in which she quickly got up and slumped against Cayde. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">But teacher alchemist human Clyde! It can help sell for good gold-money to get school-lessons for us! We can probably find a mushroom on it and make more </span></b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"><i>Frog Dust</i></span><b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">! </span></b>" Despite <i>Frog Dust</i> needing dried frog to make. It was just one of her terrible bargaining tales. Kesh was holding onto his shoulder before she noticed the same thing he did. <br>
<br>
Twisting her head to peak at the two strangers. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Stranger-weirdos.</span></b> " Kesh released Cayde as she quickly scampered onto her feet and looked in their direction. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">You think they carry gold-money, teacher alchemist human Clyde?</span></b> " The Ratkin asked her teacher while hopping up and down excitedly, she even did a small little quick backflip. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Can Kesh run-go through their pockets? </span></b>" She asked a bit too loudly, mainly from excitement.</div>

As the brave adventurers were drawn closer to the odd scene of a carcass, a sword and a 'shield' in the swamp, they would start to realise the dangerous nature of this swamp. Bugs, the size of small chickens were crawling all over the carcass. <br>

The only person able to recognise them out of this group was Cayde, thanks to his general knowledge on nature and survival. These were corpse-beetles, known to thrive in environments like these. They normally fed exclusively off of corpses, hence the name, but anyone foolish enough to challenge one of them would be overrun by the entire group of them, as a panicked corpse-beetle secreted fluids that'd sent the rest in a frenzy to attack anything hit by such fluids. Whilst they weren't big enough to be lethal on their own, they were capable of swarming a person and tearing off pieces of skin and flesh until nothing but bones remained. In general, it was often best to leave them alone and steer clear of them.<br>
<br>
Furthermore, Baharius, although fitting in with the environment pretty well, didn't have any talent for concealment or stealth and would therefore stand out just enough to Cayde as a potential threat (thanks to his knowledge on nature and survival). Meanwhile, Kesh (thanks to her heightened hearing and scent) was able to pick up on barely noticeable signs of life coming from underneath that odd 'shield' like thing, such as the soft sound of breathing. Whilst neither would know what exactly was there, both would know to be on guard for it.<br>
<br>
As for Scylla's pessimistic thoughts, there might be more realistic than she first realised. Although this swamp was located on the edge of the Dark Continent, it was still the Dark Continent. Only the strong, the brave and the foolish ventured towards such a place. What category each of these adventurer's fell into was a different story, but there was one thing they should all be aware off. Whilst on the monster continent, it was safer to assume the worst out of everyone and everything you encountered, especially if you weren't a [monster] of decent strength and power. <br>
<br>
The latter was why Kalina, who'd been going around as normal, was very surprised to hear the sounds of non-monsters in the distance. She instinctively started to stealth, but upon picking up a the alchemist calling out on whether the other two 'were peaceful' she figured she'd change tactics and used an [alternate identity]. It didn't take long for her to turn into Chandra Jarmil, the beginner adventurer.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">With a squelch, burnished black Cavalier boots impinge on the boundary of the Overgrow Marshes as Clarice alights from the roots of the ancient bald cypress that served as her vantage point.  Without missing a beat, she slogs through the muck, making a beeline for the thicketed bank where her donkey, Poppy, and her peer, Scylla, await her.  Two catfish, one bullfrog, and a host of invertebrates scatter before her as she cautiously ascends the treacherous slope leading up to terra firma.  When, at long last, she plants her boots on dry ground, she retrieves her burgundy mantle, now emblazoned with the glowing seal of the School of Psionics at the Imperial Academy of Logia, dons said garment, and fastens it with a patinated brass brooch depicting a gyrfalcon in flight.<br>
<br>
Never one to leave anything to chance, Clarice then checks the contents of the small cart hitched to Poppy for the fifth time.  She ticks items off of a mental checklist as she scans her expedition's supplies:<br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Three Days of Clean Water: 220 lbf</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Five Days of Rations and Dry Feed: 75 lbf</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Two-Person Tent: 7 lbf</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Axe: 5 lbf</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Shovel: 5 lbf</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Five Bundles of Wood (Including Tinder): 130 lbf</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Cookware: 20 lbf</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Salt: 1 lbf</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Three Blankets: 15 lbf</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Toiletries: 2 lbf</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Spare Clothes and Footwear: 30 lbf</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Medical Kit: 5 lbf</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Three Bullseye Lanterns: 6 lbf</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">96 Hours of Oil (After Refilling the Bullseye Lanterns): 3 lbf</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">100 Feet of Hempen Rope: 20 lbf</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Block and Tackle: 5 lbf</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Land Navigation Tools (Compass and Maps): 3 lbf</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Scroll Case: 0.5 lbf</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">2 Jars of Insect Repellant: 1.5 lbf</li>
</ul>Total (Approximate): 555 lbf of Supplies<br>
Note: Standard Practice Stipulates Total Weight Pulled on Level Ground Should Not Exceed Twice the Weight of the Donkey<br>
Check: Weight of Donkey * 2 = 380 lbf * 2 = 760 lbf =&gt; 760 lbf &gt; 555 lbf =&gt; PASS<br>
Addendum: Safety Factor = 760 lbf / 525 lbf ~ 1.37 =&gt; Good Enough for the Wooden Cart and Spare Wheel<br>
<br>
Nodding in affirmation at the sufficiency of the expedition's supplies for a two-day jaunt through the fens - an inventory that does not include any of the items on Scylla's or Clarice's persons - the next task Clarice tackles is refilling the bullseye lanterns to ensure she can spot hazards like quicksand, pools of piranhas, and skeletal pirates from a safe distance.  It's as simple as opening a port, inserting a funnel, and pouring oil into the aforementioned funnel.  Her radiant cerulean eyes focus on the light yellow kerosene flowing into the container.  She compares the meniscus to the gradations on a ruler she produces from her pocket and computes the volume of fluid as she listens to Scylla's misgivings.  She contemplates their situation before responding, quirking an eyebrow and brushing a rebellious lock of flaxen hair that has escaped her banded ponytail to the side before drumming her fingertips on the floor of her modest, wooden cart.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041">You should not base your self-worth on others' valuation of your abilities, Scylla.  Therein lies despair, for the world is cruel and rife with pride and envy.</span><br>
<br>
As if voicing her agreement, Poppy brays and snorts at Clarice's somber tones.  Concurrently, Clarice, lantern in hand, circles around the cart to join her friend.  Her eyes emit ethereal light as her true self, muzzled and fettered by black chains oozing animate shadows that seek to eclipse her radiance, is reflected on the surface of the stagnant water as the sun crests the surrounding hillocks continuing its never-ending cycle of death and renewal.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041">It is no mean feat, I will concede, to unseat this virulent notion, so pervasive it is in our contemporary society.  Day in and day out, others measure you by such trivialities as your social class and the marks you received in school; in doing so, they disregard the vibrant colors you add to this drab canvas the gods have bequeathed to us.  That is where our true selves manifest, and if our instructors deny this reality, we will show them what we are.</span><br>
<br>
Clarice attempts to set her left hand on Scylla's shoulder as a reassuring smile graces her countenance.  The bellicose facade Clarice works so hard to maintain melts away, and in the presence of the purity of emotion that remains - the desperate desire to protect the innocent from the evils of this world - Scylla might glean that Clarice's soul is anything but human.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041">We are rockstars, and the world is our stage.  Where we perform, people throng, for we are light, strength, and hope personified.  Though we feel small, though we feel powerless as we size up the army of naysayers and critics waiting in the wings, we play with such vigor that the gods themselves sway to our sound.</span><br>

<br>
Finally, Clarice offers Scylla the lantern she bears.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041">We can bring light to the dark corners of this land, but if that is the outcome you desire, you must first realize the potential you possess.</span><br>
<br>
As the shades overwhelm her other self, the ethereal light fades from Clarice's eyes.  She recoils, grits her teeth, clenches her fists, shuts her eyes, and draws in ragged breaths as though experiencing great pain.  When she opens her eyes, the radiance is gone.<br>
<br>
Clarice pauses.  She collects her thoughts and centers herself.  She watches as Scylla mirthfully crosses the threshold.  In response, she chimes:<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041">Alea iacta est.</span><br>
<br>
Poppy nudges her down the path.<br>
<br>
-----<br>
In no time flat, Clarice and Poppy introduce Scylla to their remarkably backwards relationship.  When traveling through unexplored territory and left to her own devices, Clarice seems inclined to rely on Poppy's animal instincts to guide the party.  That is to say, Poppy frequently leads Clarice, and bizarrely, this works out better than one might anticipate.  Poppy typically picks paths that are dry, easy to navigate, and free of predators.  Clarice operates lanterns, calms Poppy, and reacts to anything that seems to alarm Poppy.  Clarice also uses her [Psychokinesis F + Investigation F] to cover the party's tracks.  By default, Clarice walks side-by-side with Poppy, signaling that they are a team, not just a master and a pack animal.  On top of that, Clarice treats Poppy very well, allowing her ample rest and keeping her fed and hydrated as the expedition endures the wet, humid marshland.  In short, Clarice relies on Poppy's superior hearing to avoid monsters lurking in the darkness and works with Poppy and Scylla to identify paths that don't involve stranding the cart in unfavorable terrain.<br>
<br>
Scylla might also note that when Clarice is indisposed, Poppy tends to amble over to Scylla and either stand near her or try to convince Scylla to pet her.  Poppy doesn't seem happy when Scylla or Clarice leave her sight; she endeavors to reestablish line-of-sight as quickly as she can.<br>
<br>
Clarice appears tense while exploring the marshland, but she attempts to keep Scylla's spirits high by recounting lighthearted stories as they progress.  She chats about anything Scylla wishes to discuss and, much like Poppy, does her best to watch Scylla's back at all times.<br>
<br>
-----<br>
The unwholesome reek of rotting flesh unnerves Poppy and triggers the klaxons in Clarice's mind.  Time seems to dilate for her as she inspects the scene laid out in front of her.<br>
<br>

[Accelerated Thought Process F + Investigation F]<br>
<br>
Observed four items of interest.<br>
<br>
Item 1: 7-Foot Great Sword and Personal Belongings<br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Wielder must be more than 7 ft tall.<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Handle is not designed for a giant.<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Typical Location: Sheathed in back-scabbard.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Typical single handed arming swords weigh 2 lbf.<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">7-Foot Great Sword is extremely heavy.<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Cumbersome: The wielder relies on brute strength rather than finesse to best opponents.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Dull: While the sword may have a cutting edge, it is likely more of a bludgeon.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Blood and gore present on the blade.<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Blood oxidizes steel.  Under normal circumstances, swordsman would have cleaned the blade before the blood caked.<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Hurried: The wielder doffed the weapon in a hurry.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Bloodied: The wielder was involved in an altercation recently.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Recent: The blood has not blackened.  Cannot determine how long the blood has been exposed to the air at this distance.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Haven: After the battle, the wielder felt safe enough to disarm.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Blue gem adorns hilt.<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Decorations suggest item is valuable.<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Not Abandoned: Wielder likely to return to retrieve sword.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Nearby: Wielder is likely nearby.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">ALTERNATE HYPOTHESIS: Sword is a trap.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Personal belongings resemble humanoid items.<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Fasteners suggest opposable thumbs.  No saddlebags.  Methodically arranged.<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Humanoid: Wielder is a humanoid.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">No Emergency: While the wielder was in a hurry to doff items, the wielder was not motivated by an emergency.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
</ul>Conclusion: Evidence suggests the wielder is a large humanoid with super-strength.  The wielder battled something, doffed items, and departed for a nearby location.  The wielder was in a hurry but did not fear for its life.<br>
<br>
Item 2: Pool With Bull Calf Carcass and Yellow-Spotted Object<br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Match: Animal was killed with 7-Foot Great Sword.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Match: Yellow-Spotted Object is Wielder.<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">DEDUCTION: 7-Foot Great Sword is too cumbersome to wield in the water.<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">DEDUCTION: Wielder dragged carcass into water.<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">DEDUCTION: Wielder is amphibious.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">DEDUCTION: Wielder is carnivorous.<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">DEDUCTION: Wielder is ambush predator.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Minimal hostile flora and fauna in the area.<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">DEDUCTION: Wielder scared off local fauna.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>Conclusion: The wielder is an ambush predator hiding in the water.  Exercise extreme caution.  Stay out of striking distance of the water.<br>
Addendum: The wielder likely does not have access to ranged weaponry.  Remain at a distance and terminate at range if the need arises.<br>
<br>
Item 3: Ratkin and Plague Doctor<br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ratkin backflip?<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ratkin backflip.<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Acrobatic: Ratkin is acrobat.<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Rogue: Fighting style likely focuses on finesse and quick movements.</li>
</ul></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Superfluous: Ratkin wastes energy.<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Attrition: Ratkin's fighting style likely leads to exhaustion.  Draw-out engagements if necessary.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">"Can Kesh go run-through their pockets?"<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Thief.<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Unjust Gods: Psychopaths could murder this ratkin without fear of reprisal.</li>
</ul></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Named Kesh.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Wants money.<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Mercenary Behavior: Could buy off.</li>
</ul></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Very loud.<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Bad News: Something wicked probably heard that.<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Wielder: The sword wielder definitely heard that.<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Mortality: Kesh might not be long for this world.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Novice: Kesh is not a veteran highwayman.</li>
</ul></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Hired Hand: The Plague Doctor is Kesh's boss.</li>
</ul></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Plague Doctor<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Creepy.<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Medicine Man: Potentially a doctor.<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">QUERY: Why would a doctor be in a swamp with a ratmerc?<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">DEDUCTION: Doctor is gathering ingredients for a potion</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">"Is this your sword stuck in the mud?"<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Very loud.<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Second Mortality: Monsters are definitely headed this way right now.  Hope that thing in the water isn't hungry.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">"Are you two friendly?"<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">These two are liabilities.<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Flee: Grab them and run or abandon them to their fate?</li>
</ul></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">ALTERNATE HYPOTHESIS - DARVEN'S REVENGE: Darven is trying to murder Scylla and Clarice and these two are his illusory pawns for accomplishing that end.</li>
</ul></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Insufficient supplies.<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Okay, where are ratkin and the plague doctor keeping their supplies?<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Unplanned Excursion: These two are going to die out here unless something changes.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Stash: These two have a camp nearby.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
</ul>Conclusion: Kesh, the ratkin rogue, wants to rob Scylla and Clarice, but her boss, a plague doctor who is likely searching for ingredients for a concoction, hasn't given them the go-ahead.  They are likely in a bind, but it is quite possible that they are hoping to convince Scylla and Clarice to lower their guard so they can rob them more easily.  They might have setup camp nearby or they might be a drain on the expedition's limited resources.  Optimal resolution unclear.  Continuously reevaluate.<br>
<br>
Item 4: Loner<br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Trap.<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">This is too much of a coincidence.  There aren't many beastfolk or humans on this continent.<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">REVELATION: Something old and powerful has drawn them here.<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">CORRECTION: This place is not quiet and peaceful because that thing in the water drove the fauna away.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
</ul><br>
-<br>
At this revelation, Clarice's eyes go wide and frantically sweep up, down, left, and right.  She shines her bullseye lantern onto the ominous landscape, searching for any clues that she might analyze to gain insight into the enemy.  She knows better than to tell everyone to run.  For now, all paths lead back to this place.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 18px"><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">Don't use your true names!</span></span><br>
<br>
Clarice shouts in a panic!  She is no longer concerned about attracting unwanted attention; they've already been caught in a spider's web!  Her heart pounds in her chest as she attempts to pass Poppy's lead to Scylla that she might loose the Aspect of the Sapphire Dragon upon whatever might emerge from the fens.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041"><span style="font-size: 10px">I thought it was all a nursery tale dreamed up to keep children from wandering into the wilds, but it's all real, isn't it?  I cannot remember the words.  Still, I hear the voices in the wind.</span></span><br>
<br>
Clarice attempts to grab one of Scylla's hands.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041">Until we leave these woe-begotten fens, call me Alice.  I am not certain that our adversary is an onomancer, but it is old and wily enough to know the true names of air and earth and darkness and thus command many servants.  Accept no gifts that strangers might freely offer to you; through such favors, they may bind you.  Stay away from the water; a creature hides within.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">And if you remember the story, write it down, for the more I try to recall, the more I forget.  Perhaps that is the nature of its domain.</span><br>
<br>
With that, Clarice will release Scylla (if she managed to grab one of her hands) and begin to hum a half-remembered tune concerning the Hag of the Overgrown Marshes.</div>

 (Clarice)<br>​</div><hr><br>
With more attention now gathering around the death site, the animals nearby began to stir ever more in response to the ever mounting tension. As Clarice shouts her warning, several of the crows and storks cried out startlingly and flew off with the rustling of feathers. Those that remained perked in the trees cocked their heads towards the water, eying the shield-like structure as if they scened movement. While the newfound cast was well wary of a potential monster lurking around these parts, all seemed to have failed to notice the black and yellow object lurking in the water's edge. And now...<br>
<br>
<b><i>It began to move.</i></b><br>
<br>
The sail subtly inched forward with the stagnant current before slowly turning to face the water's edge where the adventurers stood. Where once was a large area had now turned into a thin slice against the backdrop. Inch by inch, the structure steadily glided through the water - getting closer and closer to its target. Even if one or two other members noticed its approach, there would be little to halt its arrival. By the time it reached shallow water, it was too late.<br>
<br>
The sail slowly began to rise from the scum-filled bog, revealing the creature from the black depths with a deep groan. Multiple yellow-tipped spines surrounded the base of the sail and back, revealing a truly massive reptilian monster. It had a scaly rusty-brown hide, topped with a darken back and with a tan-underbelly, that gleamed with the water's shine. It was an incredibly muscular individual too, heaving itself onto land with its massive clawed arms well past the size of a regular human head. By comparison, its legs were rather short and stubby, though no doubt muscular in their own right, and adorned with large dark scutes that acted as natural armor. Interestingly, it too worse a set of bronze armor that covered his chest, knees, and arms. A long, almost tadpole-like, webbed tail flicked in and out of the water like a serpent, itself longer than two men. And most striking of all was the beast's crocodilian-like head, revealing its needle-sharp teeth, while adorned with a vividly colorful crest of yellows and blues sporting the top of its head. The left side of its face was also scarred with several faded scratches, implying he had faced battle some time ago.<br>
<br>
To some, this thing would look like a massive lizardfolk or a minor forest drake perhaps; but everything else about it would look incredibly bizarre. It likely wouldn't match any depiction of a  typical monster, or even rare species or subspecies, to any of the individuals.<br>
<br>
As the beast rose it's body to full height - towering over the cast at over 7 feet at the shoulder - it stared at the whole cast with it's round, avian-like, yellow eyes. It was an intimidating sight to behold, especially as it released a deep guttural growl every time it exhaled a breath. Thankfully, for the adventurers, it didn't seem to pose itself as a threat; nor did it seem to be its intention. If anything, it seemed rather curious of them as they are to it.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"><b>"Travelers..."</b> </span>the great beast spoke in a deep, yet surprisingly dignified, manner. It had a rather booming presence, with a vague raspy undertone matching its scaly appearance. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"It's not often that a band this large comes through here. What brings all of you to these parts?"</span></b></div>

 | Clarice TheSimianMind<br>
<br>
Clarice's thorough perorations had proven to be a double-edged blade thus far. Bringing so much stuff to the Dark Continent had not been cheap and easy, but considering these marshes were on the very edge of it, they'd managed to find someone willing to drop it all off at a (somewhat) affordable price. Having all of it at had had proven to be wonderful whilst traversing the outer edges of the Overgrown Marshes. Especially the insect repellent was worth its weight in gold. <br>
<br>
However, now that they were closer to the interior of the marshes, problems had started to stack up. As nicely as Clarice and Poppy were able to work together in the easier outer parts of the marshes, things were falling apart now that they were closer to the interior. Dry paths were getting scarce to non-existent, every single misstep through some knee-deep water was making Poppy a very easy target for leeches, halting the cart on seemingly solid ground was becoming more and more problematic as even the solid-most ground they could find was having the carts wheels slowly sink into the mushy soil and no matter how much insect repellent they used, the poor donkey slowly and steadily started to attract more and more mosquitoes of sizes big enough to make a shiver roll down your spine. They'd likely have to figure out whether to abandon the car and donkey, try to park them somewhere relatively safe or to turn back altogether, as it was clear that bringing the cart to the centre of the marshes wasn't going to be an option unless they found an extremely creative or magical way to deal with all these problems and were willing to take the risk of the donkey and cart starting to attract the more dangerous wildlife of the marshes' interior. <br>
<br>
Whilst Clarice had some impressive quick-thinking going on, drawing as many conclusions as she could from whichever information she could gather, her reaction was a little less though-through. <br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="font-size: 18px"><span style="color: #778899">Chandra Jarmil</span><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/threads/isekai-hell-characters.504269/page-2#post-11183731" class="link link--internal" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rpnation.com%2Fthreads%2Fisekai-hell-characters.504269%2Fpage-2%23post-11183731&amp;hash=c66ad2936746700ed3b77b72d43c1d44"><img src="/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FUTG1BeY.jpg%3F2&amp;hash=5a30a54f37ebbf70000311c3f825aeb2" data-url="https://i.imgur.com/UTG1BeY.jpg?2" class="bbImage " loading="lazy" style="" width="" height=""></a></span></b>​</div><br>
Kalina, in the guise of Chandra, didn't have to act surprised at the reaction her words had gotten. She genuinely was surprised and confused in equal measure. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“What!?!”</b></span> Sure enough, she wasn't using her real name by default, but... It was a bit odd for this total stranger to introduce herself by yelling such a thing in panic. However, Clarice's frantic looking around made Kalina follow suit, as she followed her line of sight to figure out what had gotten this girl so panicked. <br>
<br>
That was when Baharius decided upon his perfectly-timed introduction. Thanks to his super-strength, he was rising up from the marshes with relative ease. A few leeches had managed to latch onto him whilst he was being submerged, but thanks to his decent enough vitality, they weren't too big of an issue if he were to remember to get them off later, before they could start to cause festering wounds. <br>
<br>
Kalina, still disguised as Chandra, however, had already drawn and aimed her crossbow at the monster. She was on the verge of shooting it, aiming it right at is eyes, when it spoke up. In a mixture of surprise and disbelief, she replied, recalling she was currently supposed to be shy, she made sure to stammer a little [Deception E] to keep up the act. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Y-you... you talk!?!”</b></span> The next bit was a lot more genuine. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“What, no.... who are you?”</b></span><br>
<br>
As for the weird lizard-beasts own question, Kalina figured this was a good opportunity to introduce her story. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I was here with some other adventurers, hoping to find the Hag said to live here. We've heard rumours that she's not a full-blooded monster, but that she's half Fae, so it might be possible to make a deal with her if we want to establish some form of base of operations on the Dark Continent, but the rest of my group... I... I don't think they made it.”</b></span> Still using her [Deception  E], she mixed up lies and a bit of truth into a nice blend. Whilst it was true that she heard rumours of the hag being part Fae, the rest of her story was mostly lied.</div>

Scylla brought a pondering finger to her lips, puckering playfully a bit as she did so at Clarice's comments. “<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">You know what? You're right Clarice! Thank you for setting me straight..”</span> She would shrug a bit,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..I don't know, i'm just still very new to all this..” </span>Scylla made quote signals, as the following words illuminated infront of her, almost as if she was writing into the air before her,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..”official mage business” stuff, you know?”</span> She scratched the back of her head nervously.<br>
<br>
Admittedly so much of her discourse on the inner workings of human nature and societal programming went over Scylla’s bubbly head, nodding as she looked over the plant life surrounding them. However, upon mention of proving themselves and showing their superiors the beauty and color of existence she turned to look at her for a moment.<span style="color: #9365b8"> “Yeah, I imagine we would need some way to prove our ideological points, but perhaps that’s best left for another assignment or outing. This world doesn’t take very kindly to.. ‘different’ people you know? Would be a shame if we got burnt at the stake just for thinking differently. Lets play our metaphorical cards wisely.”</span><br>

Her attention was then ripped from her observations to the lantern Clarice would offer, taking it in her hands with a confused blank stare upon her features. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Uhm..” </span>she stuttered.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..yes, yes.. perhaps someday.”</span><br>
<br>
She noticed something different about her partner, she was visibly tense and a bit distracted by something as they continued down the path. Clarice seemed to almost shift between two aspects of herself, but perhaps it was her mind control magic. Scylla, with book in hand compared the flora to the descriptions and illustrations she was provided by the Ryken Academy library.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Hmm.. yeah, none of these are it..” </span>she admitted,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..however we might not completely out of luck, it seems the deeper we seem to go into this marsh the more complex the organism become..” </span>looking back at Clarice and Poppy she gave a nervous look. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“..seems like it might get dangerous but we must go deeper into this dreadful swamp.”</span> She said, stating the obvious at this point.<br>
<br>
——<br>
<br>
Continuing down the path it became more and more difficult to traverse with a their supplies. But was quickly distracted by Clarices inspiring speech on them being ‘rockstars’.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Heh.. yeah!”</span> She cheered quiet enough to not stir anything hidden in this marshland. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“It’s not often i hear you so.. enthusiastic Clarice.”</span> She said smiling back at her.<br>
<br>
—-<br>
<br>
Before long however, and without much notice she realized Poppy, their donkey companion getting overrun with all manner of insect life, especially mosquitos. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“EWWW!”</span> She exclaimed pointing at the bugs surrounding their trusted donkey companion. Determined to help her however she mustered up a few fire darts, lighting as many as she could ablaze pretending to shoot them ,taking gestures as if she had a gun in hand, her staff providing the ammo.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Pew.. pew!" </span>[Fire Affinity]<br>
<br>
It’d be futile however, as for as many she defeated two or more would take their place.<br>
—<br>
Soon after noticing the bog, the sword and the carcass, she quickly notices two others approaching, stopping for a moment and say seemed to converse among themselves. Clarices shout would startle Scylla however, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Wh- what?!”</span> She exclaimed under her breath, as Clarices panic seemed to make her just as anxious. Mention of using fake names, however, as much of a good idea as it was, Scylla felt it set the stage for suspicion. She smiled nervously at the plague doctor, before addressing Clarices suspicion. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Please, Clarice.. pull it together, if they wanted to kill us or rob us they would have done so by now instead of speaking to us.” </span>She responded trying muster an air of confidence.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Scylla was quite anxious to see such a pair, and quite frankly they fit the atmosphere, especially the rat folk who’s kind she’d never seen before, mostly just in research archives  conducted by field mages, that for some reason she just couldn’t remember. However, she figured these two lived nearby. Maybe.<br>
<br>
Calling out to the witch doctor and the rat folk, she began,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Hello. I am.. S..”</span> she glanced at Clarice, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“..Scylla.. were on official Academy business, and we desire no trouble..”</span> then the ratkin began to jump, or dance.. then.. a backflip?<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..eh.. who are you?”</span> She asked, unable to take her eyes off the ratkin, something about her made the witch a bit uneasy.<br>
<br>
Before Scylla could continue however, yet another would reveal herself as Chandra, she turned to look at her, standing close to Clarice and their infested donkey companion. She seemed genuine enough, but it was strange to meet someone lost in the middle of this otherwise desolate marshland. Scylla fought any weary thoughts however, besides, what Ill could come from simply introducing yourself. Right?<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Hi! My names is Scylla and this is.. C- ..Alice! Heh.. we’re actually on an urgent errand of utmost importance.. however, you don’t have to trouble yourself, I’m glad you have found your way, the exit would be that way.”</span> She pointed towards the path they took to get to where the two were currently.<br>
<br>
Quickly, and as if by some twisted luck, whatever was lurking in the bog, suddenly spurred to life. Eyes wide the witch charged up a spell as her staff began to levitate before her, a small gust would brew under Scylla as she beheld the sword wielding creature.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “I assume we’re past any introductions with this one right?” </span>She said out loud, but then, the creature spoke, and her magic began to wane upon the possibility of the creature not being hostile.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “I.. e..wh..”</span> she stuttered and turned to Clarice.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..did.. that thing just talk?!”</span> She asked with a lightly shrill voice.</div>

Still, I do miss normal food. </i></span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">She thought to herself as he let out a sigh; she decided it was better not to take a normal path as she moved through the wilderness. The Vampire didn't expect much of anyone to be up here, but the rumors of this hag intrigued her. So the silver-haired Vampire trudged on seeing a sword in the distance, intrigued; as she moved closer, a carcass came into view than a group of people and a giant lizard. </span><br>
<br>
Nissa figured it was best to sit in the bushes as the group conversed; she could tell there were a few humans in the group, a plague doctor and a rat person. <i><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Wait, rat people exist here? </span></i><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">She thought to herself as she face-palmed herself for her stupidity of not knowing that rat people were a thing. Upon hearing that they were also looking for the hag she grinned. </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)"><i>Well, this just might be my lucky day, </i></span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">She thought to herself as she cleared her throat and pushed out of the bushes making as much noise as possible. <br>
<br>
Upon exiting the bush, she placed a hand on her hip as she rested the other on the pommel casually, </span><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"The hag you say, well then our interests might be aligned,"</span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)"> She concluded, doing her best to hide her fangs as she spoke. There wasn't a need to freak out the strangers off the bat; if she was lucky, she could restock her blood supply. Though the swamp made her feel gross, which was strange since she was undead, she still felt gross. <br>

As usual, Kesh wanted to rob the strangers. It was a habit Cayde had to endure often and one he'd found an easy solution to. Producing a shiny ryke from a pouch in his jacket, he shuffled over to the rat woman and placed it in her palm. Hopefully, that'd be enough to sate her kleptomania. Cayde had a feeling it wouldn't, though. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Now, Kesh, that's not how we greet strangers," </b></span>He said, leaning in close to whisper the following, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b><i>"Especially if they're acting so damn strange." </i></b></span>Cayde did find it suspicious that the witch's companion concealed their name, especially in such a frightened manner. Her peculiar humming afterward wasn't very trustworthy, either. Neither was the sudden appearance of another adventurer.<br>
<br>
Before he could question Chandra too, the witch, now revealing herself as Scylla and her companion as <s> Clarice </s>Alice, gave a proper introduction. Cayde sighed in relief; finally, they were getting somewhere. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Oh, you two are from the academy?" </b></span>Cayde had heard of the Mage's Academy, although less frequently than the Adventurer's Guild. Their exploits were just as prone to rumor, however: Magical pilgrimages, grueling initiations, arcane research - Cayde could believe they found something of interest on this continent. Something that'd pique his interest, too, a part of him hoped. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Well, now I'm <i>thrilled</i> you're friendly. Fireballs and lightning bolts don't make good first impressions, y'know?" </b></span>Cayde quipped, his voice gaining a friendly yet nervous lilt. It seemed he was never safe from magic wherever he went.<br>
<br>
Nor was he safe from nature, a colossal, vaguely reptilian figure emerging from the swamp before him. As he reached for his crossbow, his eyes gazed over the massive sail along its back. He couldn't pinpoint it to any creature he'd ever seen. A wave of confusion started to wash over him, even more so when the beast posed a question to everyone. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Excuse me?" </b></span>Cayde glanced warily at the others. They seemed just as baffled as he was. His lips began to reply, but then he heard another voice behind him.<br>
<br>
It was another woman, Cayde noticed, and much like Chandra, they too mentioned something about a hag. Cayde was starting to get a bit freaked out. The swamp was already eerie as is, but now there were people appearing out of nowhere, lizardmen jumping out of the mud, and apparently, a witch stationed somewhere in the fens. He looked at Kesh. She must've drugged his canteen - there was no way any of this was happening. <br>
<br>
In the odd case, it was real, Cayde decided to speak up. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Look, I dunno who's going to show up next, but I'll just introduce myself now, yeah?" </b></span>He cleared his throat and tried to steady his posture, saying, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"I'm Cayde - alchemist by trade. The rat woman over there? That's Kesh, my peer in the field. Don't drink anything she touches." </b></span>Cayde wouldn't have to clarify why - they'd find out soon enough, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"We're here gathering ingredients for new recipes. The 'Dark Continent's brimming with rare materials, so we thought we should come to take a look for ourselves." </b></span>He explained, hiding the fact he'd come here to find another revelation. With [Deception] and [Persuasion], hopefully, that wouldn't stand out too much. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Plus," </b></span>Cayde added, nodding to every member around him, a smile starting to form in his voice, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Who wouldn't want to visit the monster-infested continent during this time of year? I hear the beaches are just lovely." </b></span>He dismissed his attempt at a joke with a cough and began to address Daharius and Nissa, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"But enough with the jokes - can you two at least give us an introduction?" </b></span><br>
<br>
He looked at Chandra next, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"And maybe tell us more about this, 'hag'?" </b></span></div>

With the seduction of one singular Ryken Coin placed into Kesh's palm, the eyes of the Ratkin grew exponentially large as she then pocketed the coin like the rat she was, making these weird happy and almost erotic noises that only she could utter. Like a coo that a happy mother would make for their children while she stuffed the coin into her pocket. Kesh had a happy smile on her face as she looked to Cayde who tried, key word 'tried' to educate her on how to introduce herself to people. Kesh looked a bit confused on this statement, how else was she supposed to introduce herself to people if she wanted their gold-money? Although she agreed they were acting strange,<i> <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">almost like...</span></i> Kesh narrowed her eyes. <i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Almost like they didn't want to reveal they had gold-money.</span></i> Kesh leaned in a bit staring at the two, this Scylla and Alice, the Scylla that was before them seemed honest, but the Alice was acting very strange... Almost like her name wasn't Alice. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">But Clyde. I'm supposed to act strange.</span></b> " Kesh whispered a bit loudly. <br>
<br>
To Kesh, this school they spoke seemed useful, she looked to Cayde with a wide grin and an almost pleasant demeanor to her, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Hey. Maybe we can learn more about alchemy there.</span></b> " Kesh explained as her small little rat paws were gently patting Cayde's arm like an excited child. She even held his arm and began hopping up and down holding his arm still grinning widely. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">But that witch is a witch! Look at what she is wearing!</span></b> " Kesh pointed out, not really revealing anything too much. Then she pointed at her partner, Clairice or who was actually named Alice. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">And that woman... She is looks like a liar.</span></b> " Kesh called out, tripping over her own tongue, the drugs in her system were having Kesh speak her thoughts. Then the rise of a large monster out of the water had Kesh immediately now intrigued, the Ratkin saw and gasped loudly, crouching low with her arms wide. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">It's huge! Can we keep it too!</span></b> " Kesh asked Cayde, looking back at him, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">I'll take care of it! I can keep it in my room!</span></b> " Kesh tried to explained, her eyes looked at the large beast and moved through the ground to get closer, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Traveller? No, I'm Kesh. </span></b>" Kesh pointed at herself. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Watch. I can do this.</span></b> " Kesh then attempted a front flip by jumping into the air and landing on her feet with a " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Hup!</span></b> " She stuck the landing back in a crouch with her arms extended out. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Whahcha.</span></b> " Kesh looked at the large monster. " Hi. " Kesh stood up straight, "<b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"> I'm Kesh! I want to go to school! </span></b>" Kesh pointed her thumb back at herself and looked at Cayde, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">That's Clyde over there, Clyde! Come say hi!</span></b> " <br>
<br>
Kesh then backed up as more people appeared, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Okay. I've had too much, there's a lot of people here. Clyde! There's a few people here! </span></b>" Kesh called as she quickly made her way back to hide behind the plague doctor, peeking out behind Cayde. " <span style="color: #a38f84"><b>Clyde. Why are there so many people in this swamp? Am I just that high?</b></span> " Kesh asked a little worried looking at Cayde a bit worried but then she laughed, " <span style="color: #a38f84"><b>No. No, I'm not.</b></span> " Kesh shook her head, "<b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"> I can never have too much.</span></b> " Kesh patted Cayde's shoulder with a laugh. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Who wants to donate to the Kesh Family Plan for Schooling? </span></b>" She asked out to everyone who was listening at this point.</div>

 </b>(Nissa) |<br>​</div><hr><br>
His sudden presence had certainly spooked the travelers upon emerging from the green bog. For awhile, they looked as if they were about to consider striking him on the spot! Not that he would blame them of course; for his size and battle-scarred looks very much painted him as a ferocious blood-thirsty monster for the untrained eye. And if they attempted to slay the beast, he would simply back into the depths from where he came. One or two opponents would've been easy pickings; but five to six armed adventurers was a risky venture. Besides, this lot didn't seem the kind to bring much mischief. Yet only through speech alone was the beast able to quell their frightened looks into dumbfound stares. They certainly weren't expect a giant lizard-creature of his stature to reveal any form of sapience, let alone speak.<br>
<br>
And he was very well aware of this.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"><b>"Quell your disbelief." </b></span>the crocodilian beast assured the travelers in a more relaxed tone, his gaze directed towards Chandra specifically, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"For I'm not here to cause any of you harm. I am Baharius; a saurian, or 'saurial' as some claim. To say I'm a resident of these parts is inaccurate; rather I consider myself a... temporary guest."</span></b><br>
<br>
Once he announced his identity, the woman he gleamed at began to tell him and everyone her current objective. Chandra said that she was looking for a particular hag of half-fae and half-monster origins. She wanted to strike a deal with her to form an establishing presence in the Dark Continent, yet her original companions have since perished. The saurian, believing this claim, shook his head. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"My deep condolences."</span></b> Baharius replied with a low, rather sorrowful tone, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Not many people make it out of the swamps alive. From my experience, one must always be cautious for~"</span></b><br>
<br>
He was then quickly interrupted by a ratkin landing in front of him with a rather impressive front flip. Baharius' head cocked towards the tiny rat person introducing herself as "Kesh" and how she wants to go to school. The beast chuckled at her statement, waving his meaty hooked claws in friendly acknowledgement. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"It is never too late to learn new tricks, little one!"</span></b> he lightly jests, as the ratkin introduced her companion, Clayde the Alchemist. According to the beaked figure, both he and his peer were searching for new and rare materials for their alchemical experiments in these new lands. Baharius had seen plenty of unique and exotics plants and herbs in his time here, but lacked any knowledge to what any were and what properties they bore. He had nothing more to say than to give an affirming nod, as if wishing them good luck on their search.<br>
<br>
Of course, Clayde was more interested in what this hag was; saying this just as a new silver haired woman emerged to amalgamate with the crowd with aligned interests. Bahairus couldn't help but to be curious himself as he glanced his scarred snout at Chandra, expecting a further explanation. As he did, he felt several light pinches coming from his lower body. With an annoyed hiss, he used his claws to scratch away the discomfort at his side, with one of them stabbing at something slimy. He looked down to see that he stabbed a leech, no doubt having clung to him when he was submerged in the swamp, and looked to see a few more latched onto his sides. Indeed, he noticed a few more and promptly took care of them with ease.</div>

Things were getting so busy that even the corpse-beetles that had been feasting on the carcass were starting to keep an eye out for all the commotion. If it wasn't for the swamp giving some less than pleasant odours, the leeches, the mosquitoes, the high humidity and sogginess of just about everything and the looming threat of whatever might be lurking in this place, it'd almost be nice to be chatting here during a cosy meet-up. However, with this swamp being what it was, they'd had to make do. Those with sharp eyes and a sharp mind might spot one thing, however, as two people were targetted by the mosquitoes and leeches far less than the rest of them; the adventuring lass Chandra and the newest person to stumble into the scene, Nissa.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="font-size: 18px"><span style="color: #778899">Chandra Jarmil</span><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/threads/isekai-hell-characters.504269/page-2#post-11183731" class="link link--internal" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rpnation.com%2Fthreads%2Fisekai-hell-characters.504269%2Fpage-2%23post-11183731&amp;hash=c66ad2936746700ed3b77b72d43c1d44"><img src="/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FUTG1BeY.jpg%3F2&amp;hash=5a30a54f37ebbf70000311c3f825aeb2" data-url="https://i.imgur.com/UTG1BeY.jpg?2" class="bbImage " loading="lazy" style="" width="" height=""></a></span></b>​</div><br>
As for the disguised Kalina, she frowned when Scylla pointed towards 'the exit' behind her. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“With all due respect, I'm confident that only leads further into these marshes.”</b></span> The didn't have to lie about that, as she was confident she'd arrived from the exact opposite direction. Wait... Kalina looked around. With this many people here, all of a sudden, as well as their directions seemingly not matching up... <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Do you think something tricked us to come here?!?”</b></span> She said, adding a little bit of deception to sound more panicked and shocked than she was. <br>
<br>
As for the latest arrival, Kalina instantly suspected she was dealing with someone similar to her when she noticed the lack of blood-leeching insects. Most mosquitoes and leeches didn't like a vampire's second-hand blood all that much, after all. They preferred it fresher. That said, she decided it to be safer not to focus upon it, as she wondered if this new girl would draw the suspicion of anyone else. It'd teach her whom the most perceptive folks were in this odd gather, which would in turn show her whom to be weary off. That said, she did give Nissa a reply. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Are you also looking for the hag, then?”</b></span><br>
<br>
In turn, she couldn't help herself from raising an eyebrow at the mention of the Alchemist's purpose here. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“You're risking your life for ingredients?”</b></span> She wasn't sure what type of ingredients were valuable enough to warrant such a thing, or if he was lying as much as she was. Either way, she didn't trust this alchemist and his pet rat. They were as shady as she was, which was saying something. She did smile a bit as his odd sense of humour, however, wanting to add to it, but remember she was supposed to be shy now. It meant she had to forgo asking him if he brought enough sunscreen to share. What a shame. That said, there was a more serious question to answer. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I'm afraid I don't know a whole lot more, other than the rumours. She's said to be half fae, half monster, strong enough to make wishes come true and capable of seeing into someone's past and future.  However... considering we're suddenly finding each-other here, perhaps someone might be tricking us already, perhaps even her or one of her servants.”</b></span> She was still wondering if and when something would show itself. Surely, with this many people here, it couldn't be a coincidence.<br>
<br>
Although Kalina wasn't too freaked out by Baharius, she figured her current identity of Chandra would be, so she made sure to act the part. A bit sceptical and weary, she nodded. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Then, with all due respect, could you at least tell me of your purpose here?”</b></span> <br>
<br>
However, not too long after she spoke up, they'd hear an odd snap echo across the waters. Upon looking at its place of origin, there was an odd creature standing there that one would instantly associate with the very thing they'd been talking about; a hag. The two folks with enhanced hearing (Nissa and Kesh) would hear the very soft sound of something like falling water droplets as the creature appeared, but what they'd make of that was up to them.<br>

Baharius continued listening to Chandra with close attention as she admitted that she knew not much aside from the basics she already explained. However, her sudden realization that every party member might've been purposefully drawn to this location caused the Saurian to pause. He squints as his eyes, scouring the immediate vicinity to potentially catch any potential clues, as well as sniffing the air for any unusual scents. Yet he wouldn't sense much out of the ordinary in these swamps; though he did notice that they hadn't been in prime condition since he arrived here. Normally his senses would be incredibly keen in hearing and smelling threats from a considerable distance, allowing himself to brace for nearly any confrontation. Yet here he felt rather overwhelmed by the sights and sounds, including the smell of each unique traveler mixed with the unpleasant odors emanating from the environment. A displeasured growl made his frustrations obvious.<br>
<br>
If they were all drawn here for a trap, this would be a great opportunity for the enemy to strike.<br>
<br>
Then the same woman asked Baharius what his purpose here was. The Saurian looked down at the woman, his immense size and bulk even dwarfing the considerably tall individual. For an individual like himself, the Spinosaurians in his world naturally liked living in swampy wetlands or cool coastal environments. Their anatomy allowed them to swim quite adequately through the winding river channels and various swampy out-coves with ease. So it was quite natural for someone born with a crocodile snout, a large webbed tail, and sporting extended webbing in between his fingers to call this place home - at least for now. Still, the location was relatively new to Baharius and he'd been sticking strictly to the outer reaches of the locale.<br>
<br>
Food was rather plentiful here and the dangers lurking within were usually manageable for him even in his weakened state. Though Baharius also recognized that he hadn't been swimming as well as he used to. Sure he was still able to swim and submerge underwater thanks to his anatomical build, but he felt that he lacked the grace and ease he once had. He couldn't even hold his breath for longer then two minutes tops, where once he could hold it for up to 15 minutes. This, coupled with the rumors he heard about the dangers further inland, had deterred Baharius from willingly moving deeper into the swamp for the time being.<br>
<br>
Yet as Baharius was about to explain this to Chandra, he would at last hear the voice of what he assumed to be the hag echo through the misty marsh. The Saurian turned to face the rickety creature, his arms raised and his claws at the ready, issuing a guttural growl that caused steam to vent out from his nostrils. The hag had indeed considered killing them all here, but it turned out she had other plans for them; plans that involved their total cooperation. They were tasked in killing or booting out four swamp creatures that had made a living here as the hag's unfortunate neighbors, for she could not throw them out herself. Their cooperation would guarantee their safe departure from the mashes and, if entertaining enough, a chance to grant one of their wishes. But should any of them defy her order, they would never leave this cursed place again.<br>
<br>
The Saurian's lips flared scornfully, revealing two bristling rows of needle-like teeth stacked upon bright pink gums. Baharius was in no mood to take part with her little schemes, wishing he could grab her ancient feeble body within his jagged snout. But even he recognized the fact that he didn't have much of a choice in this. To engage the hag in combat was a far too risky maneuver in this instance, especially if he didn't know the limits of her magic. Nor was it a good option to ignore her now that she made her presence known. With a reluctant grunt, the hulking beast plodded towards the Great Sword still imbedded in the dark muck. Firmly grasping it in his left hand, Baharius heaved the massive blade from the mud with impressive force fitting his stature.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"><b>"And just what are these four 'monsters' that you wish to be removed?" </b></span>he asked bluntly, turning to face the old creature with a vexed glare.</div>

The hag turned to Baharius, the only one currently brave enough to reply to her. <span style="color: #A9A9A9"><b>“As expected, the one that's been here the longest, blunt and direct. Good.”</b></span> The hag was silent for a moment, before starting off with the descriptions. <span style="color: #A9A9A9"><b>“The first is a tree demon. An ancient being, slow but strong. He's normally hidden away as one of the trees, but you can recognize him by the foul stench of death and decay beneath his roots. The second is a banshee. This close to the interior of the swamp, you'll undoubtedly hear her ghastly wailing when night falls. Third is a were-rabbit. Don't let her looks fool you, she's killed and eaten countless adventurers that strayed here and you're lucky none of you ran into her while you were alone. The fourth...  the fourth I can't say much about, I'm afraid. They'll undoubtedly make their move at some point, just stay on guard at all times and you'll find out.”</b></span><br>

Kalina looked back and forth between the giant lizard and hag. She knew she should be scared of this reptile if she wished to keep up a good fake appearance, but she was more intrigued by it than anything. Luckily enough, the hag was distracting them enough for it not to stand out too much. That said, once the hag finished speaking, she couldn't help but wonder if she should trust this hag. She figured it'd be better to look around first and see how the others were reacting, so rather than instantly agreeing or questioning the hag, she merely observed.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Is willful ignorance or spiteful hubris the impetus for countervailing Clarice's admonitions?<br>
<br>
Three of the six transients disclose their true names to the biddy's servitors.  Perhaps they seek to demonstrate that all the motive force in the world would waste away in the unabating shadow of their self-inflicted benightedness.  Nevermind onomancy!  Nevermind the arcane underpinnings of the naming ceremonies ubiquitous to immortals and kine alike!  Surely, a name cannot bind an individual, hand and foot, to a dread puppeteer's hand in perpetuity!  Surely, Clarice is just a crackpot whose judgement cannot be trusted!<br>
<br>
Useless.<br>
<br>
An abject failure.<br>
<br>
Each breach of protocol stokes Clarice's rage.  Blistering heat sets her soul ablaze as long-dormant embers - remnants of the World Unmade - erupt into great gouts of blue flame.  The inexorable conflagration burns away her panic, purifying her mind.  With incongruous clarity for one so discomposed not a minute before, her tuneless humming succumbs to a sonorous testament bespeaking the atrocities she has committed and will commit over and over again.<br>
<br>
Clarice bows her head as if in prayer and invokes Sancus, God of Oaths.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041"><span style="font-size: 12px">[Infernal] Yet again, I anoint myself in innocent blood crying out for vengeance.  I feel their suffering - every cut - every bruise - every humiliation - every depravity they were subjected to - indelible wounds carved into their souls by the wicked things that stalk this plane.  For every cut, I will rend flesh.  For every bruise, I will shatter bone.  In everything I do, I will be worse.  This rivulet of blood will beget an ocean, for I will never relent. [/Infernal]</span></span><br>
<br>
The Blue Eminence's conviction reverberates through space and time as she surrenders to appetites Clarice long denied.<br>
<br>
-----<br>
When Scylla turns to Clarice in hopes of receiving confirmation of her observations, she will discover that Clarice's patience and geniality are spent.  Rather than meeting Scylla's bewildered gaze, Clarice appraises the blood-spattered barbute she holds.  It does not feature the frills she is accustomed to - SCBA, enhanced optics, an integrated HUD, onboard VI, etcetera - but the polarizing material set into the eye opening, the ample padding, the crimson accents, the luster of space-age metals, the uncompromising quality, and the maker's mark are evidence of the helmet's otherworldly origins.  Her thumb glides over the sleek finish as she contemplates her role in the coming tragedy.  A discarded lantern, rests at her feet, illuminating her from below.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">When an entity knows your name, it gains a measure of power over you.  I should know; I maintain a Book of Names and practice old rites that assist me in overcoming minds warded against tampering.  But you know better than me, don't you?  In rejecting my counsel, Scylla, you have achieved the dual-purpose of exposing your disturbing lack of faith in me while gifting our adversary with precious information it will weaponize against you.</span><br>
<br>
With that stern reproof, Clarice dons her helmet.  No longer would the weakness of this body afflict her.  It would either perform as required or it would break.  Both outcomes are preferable to living this lie for one second more.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">I hope your tenuous alliance and the banter you’ve exchanged is well worth the cost.</span><br>
<br>
-----<br>
Clarice crosses Scylla, interposing herself between her peer and the creature from the green lagoon.  She wears a fierce, predatory grin as she levels her gauntleted palm at Baharius.  While she must admit that he is an impressive specimen for a reptilian, she has already gaged his capabilities and cannot afford to devote more resources to examining him.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041">One more step in my direction and I occlude your carotid artery.  You'll experience dizziness instantly.  In a matter of seconds, you'll have a stroke.  Within minutes, you will asphyxiate.  That promise applies to all of you.  We've a common enemy, but that doesn't mean I have to trust any of you.  Your compliance is imperative as we cannot afford to exhaust ourselves before our hunt.</span><br>
<br>
Their adversary, whatever it is, has not dispatched a servitor to harry the congregation.  Clarice intends to seize the initiative and set her plans in motion before the tables turn.  Unfortunately, impassable terrain and a plethora of parasitic lifeforms have forced Clarice to brand Poppy and her wooden cart as liabilities at this juncture.  Without a corduroy bridge (or betterments), the only viable solution to this inhospitable environment is to instruct Poppy to return to base camp bearing a message that might save Clarice from ignominious defeat down the line.  The hitch is that donkeys aren't adept at retracing their steps.<br>
<br>
Thus, Clarice backpedals to her cart, lowers her hands, hastily scrawls a note on a scrap of parchment using tools she retrieves from her backpack, cuts a very distressed Poppy free of her harness with her utility knife, slips the note beneath one of the straps she did not sever, and, with a silent command, instructs the donkey to follow the moss growing on trees.<br>
<br>
[Mind Control - Grade: F]  Clarice commands Poppy to retreat from the fens by moving in the direction that moss grows on native trees.<br>
<br>
[-Note]  Should Poppy make her way back to base camp, Clarice has included a note instructing the camp guards to ready their defenses in case the expedition is pursued when it withdraws.<br>
<br>
-----<br>
The next item on Clarice's agenda is tending to the surfeit of supplies left by Poppy's medical absence.  Clarice motions for Scylla to grab whatever she needs from the cart before replenishing her own supplies.  Clarice refills her water supply, stuffs a 24-hour supply of lantern oil into her pack, cuts off a 50-foot length of rope and suspends it from a system of metal loops and hooks attached to the side of her pack, snatches the land navigation tools and the scroll case, transfers some of her spare clothes to her inventory, affixes the two-person tent to the top of her pack, and pockets one jar of acrid-smelling insect repellent.  When both she and Scylla have concluded, she removes her purse from her belt and lobs it at Kesh.  She backs away from the cart, but she does not turn her back to the group.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">If you need supplies, take them.  They’ll benefit no one if we abandon them here to rot.</span><br>
<br>
-----<br>
Clarice does not take note of the crone's presence until she speaks.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">If a deranged reporter clapped the barrel of a revolver ‘gainst Clarice’s noggin and demanded that she describe the crone’s entrance in a single word, that word would be underwhelming.  Theatrical, bawdy, irreverent, spooky, repugnant, and other adjectives a sane audience might ascribe to a hag’s introduction in a classic fairytale suited this chance encounter about as well as galoshes suit orangoutangs.  In point of fact, Clarice would claim that this crone’s uninspired production is all tell and no show - a bland litany of coercions that circumstance already implied.  The kicker is that the crone’s offer is as revealing as a centerfold, a mouthwatering tell-all that Clarice can and will exploit in her quest to rid this world of a second-rate kingmaker.  Perhaps the crone’s fancies her power so overwhelming that she need not beguile her guests.  In due time, Clarice would teach her that overconfidence is an insidious killer.  All in due time…</span><br>
<br>
Clarice suspects that this motley group would vehemently object to the parameters and dictates of her new mission.  The sociopaths among them might even assault her should she show her hand too early.  By her reckoning, three of the entities she will be forced to cooperate with - the Ratkin, the Survivor, and the Newcomer - would view the hag as an invaluable resource.<br>
<br>
The Ratkin will wish for a fortune.  The Survivor will wish for the resurrection of her comrades in arms - if only so their loss is worth something.  The Newcomer will make a wish, though Clarice does not have enough information to speculate on what that something might be.<br>
<br>
The Doctor might see collaborating with the hag as an opportunity to augment his knowledge of alchemy - particularly brewing potent potions and poisons as such skills are always in high demand.  However, the Doctor displayed enough good judgement in curtailing the Ratkin’s criminal tendencies that he would likely realize that this hag is as sketchy as they come.  The Beastman seems like an intimidating but good-natured sort who, on account of his well-developed survival instinct, would neither trust the hag nor act against it without a good chance of succeeding on the respective front.  Scylla, while sometimes flighty, should have paid enough attention in ENC 203: Pact Fundamentals to realize that contracting with hags is a very bad idea - assuming she enrolled in that course.  Regardless, Clarice still trusts that Scylla ought to be able to pick up on the hag’s vibes and suss out that entreating the crone for assistance in any matter could only end in tears.<br>
<br>
The four neighbors are unknown quantities, but they’ve earned "the favor of the swamp” (whatever that is).  Without additional information, it is impossible to determine what kinds of opportunities these neighbors might furnish.  Most crucially, the key to foiling the crone's schemes and emerging victorious is to commune with the swamp and court its favor directly - a cryptic trial at best but by no means impossible.<br>
<br>
Addressing the crone is a calculated risk, but with every syllable the crone intones, Clarice gains more information on the its mental state.  Although she has no intention of striking a deal with the crone, Clarice steps forward to play the part of the mercurial opportunist - nevermind that she’s mad as hell and her acting skill is about on par with a man-eating tiger pretending to be a fluffy kitten.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041">You approached us, Grandmother; that means we've something you're willing to pay for.  And pay you shall, but not with a wish, for your wishes are as benign as a cancerous growth.  A favor for a favor, perhaps.  Your blessing would suffice for me, Grandmother, though we will have to hash out the specifics of such an offer in a moment as I'm quite curious about what others make of your proposal.</span></div>

<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The witch pondered a bit, pouting in thought at the sight of the ratkin and the plague doctor. They seemed to have a very interesting relationship, that was reminiscent to that of a father and child. At least to Scylla’s mind, they appeared to be fairly close.  After their seeming deliberation however, the plague doctor pressed further, asking about the academy,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Yes..” </span>she started anxiously, unsure of just how much she should say, after all, they’d just met.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..I mean.. we’re not exactly authority, we’re here conducting research..”</span> she smiled lightly at the bit about fireballs and lightning. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“..yes, of course..” </span>she said admittedly,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..first impressions are everything after all.”</span><br>
<br>
At once the rat woman next to him admitted her ‘strange core values’ out loud, perhaps it wasn’t intentional though. This rat woman, although strange had a certain charm about her, like someone whose life you would never see yourself living but at the same time envious of it all the same. She did however appear to be on some kind of trance or substance. Scylla could only wonder as she pulled on Clarices sleeve, leaning in to whisper.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “What do you make of her?”</span><br>
When Kesh mentioned out loud to Cayde about joining the academy Scylla interrupted.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“No, no I don’t think you w-“</span> then she was interrupted by Kesh’s accusing fingers.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..huh?!” </span>She exclaimed, a bit indignant, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Yes I’m a witch so what? What’s wrong with being a witch?!”</span> Scylla’s short fuse beginning to show.<br>
<br>
But before she could lecture the rat woman, she was almost startled by another who appeared from out of the bushes that dotted the marshland. Flat out mentioning this hag that dwelled in the swamps.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..and who are you, ‘lady that jumps out of the bushes and nearly gives me a heart attack?’”</span> She said sarcastically with a little smirk. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“..this is weird.. “</span> Scylla shrugged,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “it’s almost as if we’re all here on purpose, too many coincidences.”</span> She crossed her arms, still on alert and expecting anyone of them to lash out with an attack at any moment. Certainly, the Academy mentioned the risks, but it was stated to be ‘swamp creatures’ and ‘various strange organisms’, not ratfolk and weird bush dwellers!<br>
<br>
When Chandra inquired whether Nissa was also searching for this ‘hag of the forest’ Scylla turned to face Chandra. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Hag? It’s not polite to refer to someone by that title you know?”</span><br>
<br>
As Chandra stated her disbelief about whichever direction was the way out or in she raised an eyebrow, her bewilderment betraying her as she tried to make sense of it all.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “So.. the only way to explain it is if there are numerous entrances..” </span>she stated, yet obviously not believing her own words. Yet with an air of empty wittiness, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“..but that wouldn’t make sense, unless..”</span><br>
<br>
Her trail of thought broken suddenly by Clarice cutting their donkey lose of their supplies. Quickly going through one of the pouches she pulled out a celebratory treat. A slice of cake. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“I was hoping we would eat this once we found this fabled plant. But.. seems plans have changed..” </span>she quickly stuffed her face as she continued to address Clarice.<span style="color: #9365b8"> “Nom.. aw, I have utmost faith in you!.. nom.. Please Clarice don’t be upset with me.. nom.. you’ll see, it’ll work out.. nom.. remember when I made everyone in our class invisible.. nom.. while attempting an invisibility potion.. nom.. you said it would be a disaster but the teacher was quite impressed, although.. nom.. I didn’t pass the lab.” </span>Shrugging innocently, with a final gulp, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"I PERFECTED that potion!" </span>Scylla glanced at the others. But before she could address anyone else, a strange apparition appeared to whisper and echo through the swamp. It was the crone of this swamp and whom attempted to entice them with an offer. Somehow, Scylla didn’t think this old crone was being very honest, and the exchange wasn’t very fair either, but maybe this crone of the swamp knew about the whereabouts of the specimen they were searching for. However, <i>could she be trusted to keep her word?</i> Why wouldn’t she leave them to become ‘fertilizer’ regardless if they assisted in her dirty work. Following up after Clarices remarks towards the crone she continued,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Hello!” </span>She started awkwardly before organizing her thoughts,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..I mean, hi.. heh.. as my fellow colleague has just stated, a favor for a favor, seeing as you need us as much as we need you we’d only desire the location of a particular.. herb.. that I’m certain you’re aware of it’s location. Considering you’re a resident of this marsh. Should you accept these terms I’d do whatever I can to see your request through to completion.”</span><br>
<br>
Scylla raised her eyebrows at the one introduced as Baharius, she was intrigued to hear him speak with such authority, by <i>bidding all to quell their disbelief. </i>Maybe he’d experience this kind astonishment in the past, maybe he didn’t like to be seen so differently. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“I.. see..” </span>Scylla started referring to Baharius.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..Well if you don’t mind my strange hat I won’t mind your reptilian appearance.”</span> She said winking giving him a thumbs up.<br>
<br>
Soon after the hag addressed Baharius, her eyes wide at the details of the rivals they were to pursue in order to gain this ‘wish’ or favor. Seemed they were quite formidable, but she figured if everyone present were to work together four against six the odds were in their favor. Or so she assumed it would be, how tough can a rabbit be? Right?</div>

Nissa looked around at the group, <span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)"><i>Well this certainly is an odd bunch to say the least. </i></span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">She thought to herself as she glanced around at the swamp, she couldn't believe the mess she had gotten herself into. However, She was interrupted when they inquired about her name. </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Oh, you can call me Lyse," </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">She introduced herself as she wasn't about to give up her true name. Though she didn't care much for the witch or the others, she found the rat particularly annoying and sketchy. However, she might have been judging a little too much as she didn't sense the Hag as she appeared to them. </span><br>
<br>
<i><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">So the hag wants us to do her dirty work, huh, well, I mean, I suppose that makes sense. But, she could have used any adventures or strangers. Why would she...." </span></i><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">She thought to herself as she snapped her fingers as the giant lizard spoke to the Hag and inquired about the creatures she wanted dead. </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Oh yes, that is my reason for being here, but since she is now here, my interest might be sated," </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">She smirked as she turned her attention to the person in question. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Since you 'lured' us here, then you need us. However, we can't be the first you sent on this quest of yours. I would assume by that they all failed, am I right or wrong?" </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">She inquired as she took a few steps forward, so she was away from the bushes she had arrived through. She didn't mind killing the creatures but she was going to get the most information that she could out of the Hag in front of her. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Regardless, we are wasting time, just point us in the direction and we will deal with these creatures. Though the banshee should be easy enough to find. Providing some people don't lose the will to accomplish the task at hand," </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">Nissa commented glancing around at the obvious Humans and the rat in the group. </span><br>

Once again, Cayde was baffled by Kesh's obliviousness. She had just witnessed a hulking, reptilian beastman emerge from the mud and her first move was to make a pet. He supposed that was better than her usual reaction: asking if she could rob them, offering drugs, or both, simultaneously. Instantly, he feared this would be another habit he now had to deal with. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Ha, ha! Oh, Kesh!" </b></span>He turned to meet her eye-to-eye, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"You've lost it." </b></span>Cayde deadpanned, though the idea continued to float in his head. Although he was sure Kesh would share her 'creations' with whatever creature she cared for, it'd be an excellent way to keep her mind on her responsibilities, not drugs. Plus, it'd be pretty damn adorable.<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"How about this: when we return to Ryken, <i>maybe</i> I'll get you a pet." </b></span>He waggled one finger in warning, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"<i>As a pet,</i> Kesh. Not something to sell, or a lab rat for, and I quote: '<i>Experiment-Research,'</i>" </b></span>Cayde said, trying to hold back a laugh from using her lingo, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Does that sound alright?" </b></span><br>
<br>
A bag landed near his feet before he could hear her answer. Curious, Cayde looked up to see where it came from, watching Clarice dismiss a donkey to who-knew-where with a spell, and Scylla, the person he was hesitant of a few minutes ago, chow down on a piece of cake. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><i><b>"Quirky,"</b></i></span> Cayde muttered, contemplating asking for a slice himself. Then came Clarice's warning, which threw that idea and his hunger into the mud. He shrugged it off, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Whatever you say, Alice." </span></b>Her suspicions were justified, Cayde couldn't blame her for that, but he wouldn't have painted everyone as a possible enemy, though that was likely his naivety talking. Needless to say, he already knew which of the two was his favorite.<br>
<br>
As for Chandra's inquiry about his trip here, Cayde offered an affirmative nod. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Well, yeah. First-rate potions call for first-rate ingredients, y'know?" </b></span>He explained, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Sounds insane, I know. But I assure you, every alchemist you meet's a little crazy. It's a part of the job." </b></span>He chuckled, though her follow-up on the witch wiped all humor from his system. He hadn't been tricked into coming here, Cayde thought. He'd simply wandered into this swamp of his own volition. Or did he? Frankly, he wouldn't have been surprised if otherwise; terrified would've been a better word. And that's exactly how he felt when the hag finally showed herself.<br>
<br>
The crone relayed her request, and Cayde, still shook by her sudden appearance, mustered enough strength to step between her and Kesh. The act was entirely subconscious, Cayde was still unaware of why he did it, but regardless, he had no intentions of moving. Instead, he thought of the offer and how utterly sketchy it all sounded. There had to be a trick somewhere, some unforeseeable twist that'd screw them all over at the end. It was textbook; anyone who'd read a fairy tale knew that deals with hags rarely went well. <br>
<br>
But, maybe Chandra was right, Cayde wondered. Perhaps this old witch wasn't completely evil. Maybe he'd actually get a wish fulfilled by the end of this. Then, he wouldn't have to scour this continent for knowledge - she'd lay it before him. He didn't have much of a choice anyway, right? The crone said it herself: It was either this or death. Any good person would accept in his position, right? He hoped so.  <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"If you've no problem with telling us, Is there any <i>particular</i> reason you want them gone?" </b></span>Cayde asked the hag through gritted teeth, still trying to find a way to convince himself to go along with this. <br>
<br>
Nissa's goading would do the trick somewhat. Cayde took a breath and faced the newcomer, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Oh, I'm sure we'll be fine," </b></span>Cayde assured, though primarily for himself. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"We've got you, two mages, a saurial, a crazy rat woman, and a lady quick with her crossbow." </b></span>He addressed everyone with a nod, hoping his optimism would catch on. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"We're basically unstoppable." </b></span></div>

Kalina didn't even have to act puzzled, as she genuinely felt so, when Scylla scolded her for calling the hag a hag. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Its... what they're officially known as?”</b></span> She said, almost starting to doubt herself at this point. That said, she did accept Alice's offer of taking some supplies. After all, she was supposed to have been lost in this swamp for a fair while, so it'd be very odd if she didn't eagerly resupply some rations, water and whatnot. She'd figure out what to actually do with it later. For now, she'd play the part and thank Alice. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Thank you.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
She was still highly sceptical regarding the alchemist and his pet rat, as she could only conclude one thing upon his remarks. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“The lifestyle of an alchemist doesn't sound like a long and healthy one. Then again, I'm not one to talk in my current situation...”</b></span> His optimism didn't catch on, at least not in the act, but Kalina was secretly struggling to suppress the urge to laugh at it, fearing it'd break character too much.<br>

The hag, meanwhile, stared Clarice down for a bit. <span style="color: #A9A9A9"><b>“You're the one entering my home uninvited, I merely came to see you and figure out whether you're worth something to me or not. Rejecting a wish and asking for favours and blessings instead is a peculiar move, but I'll hear you and your companion out.”</b></span> She then turned to Scylla, who actually asked of her what they were looking for. If the hag had a face capable of smiling, she'd be doing so now. <span style="color: #A9A9A9"><b>“A herb is a small price to pay for getting rid of these pests. If what you're looking for truly grows here, you just have to name it and I'll procure it for you.”</b></span><br>
<br>
The hag then turned to Nissa. <span style="color: #A9A9A9"><b>“First, let me correct you. I didn't lure you here, the swamp itself has a way of tricking those that enter it to end up wandering until they find themselves in places such as these. To you, it might look like every other bit of swamp, but to those accustomed to the swamp, it is a crossroads where its many paths converge.”</b></span>The hag didn't seem particularly bothered by Nissa's further inquires. <span style="color: #A9A9A9"><b>“Most end up dying before they reach these crossroads, which means they're not even worth asking. Some are too weak, others with too few numbers. It's been long since a group of considerable individuals of this size has been gathered. Make of it what you wish.”</b></span> As for the final part; <span style="color: #A9A9A9"><b>“Directions are not as easy as going left or right here. However, those of you gifted with magic can follow the swamp's paths themselves.”</b></span><br>
<br>
The latter words meant that Scylla (with magic D), if she were to focus solely on her magic affinity, would be able to pick up on something that looked like odd 'threads' hanging in the air. They didn't really have any colours, textures or anything else describable to them, but were more like an odd sensation that simply was there. They spread out in different directions, but all of them were tied up in this place. It was logical to assume that these were what had subconsciously brought this entire group into these crossroads of the swamp. Following them back out might allow them to explore the marshes without being led in circles. Clarice and Kesh (with magic E) were also able to pick up on them, although with slightly more effort and less clear results. Nissa (with magic F) would be able to sense their presence, but not enough so to reliable follow them. The rest had no clue what they were talking about. <br>
<br>
That left the alchemist's question. <span style="color: #A9A9A9"><b>“If hundreds of years with the same neighbours isn't enough to grow tired of them, you'll figure it out when you learn what type of neighbours they are.”</b></span> The hag simply replied. <br>
<br>
With everyone seeming on board with the request, the hag turned around and walked off. It didn't long for her to vanish from sight. However, once again, those with heightened hearing (Nissa, Kesh) would hear the odd sound of water droplets falling down upon her vanishing.</div>

His directness was rewarded with the identities of three of the four creatures in the swamp; being a "tree demon", a banshee, and a were-rabbit. Each were given unique characteristics that vaguely hinted at their abilities, such as the tree demon blending with the trees but giving a foul odor. Such a concept was alien to him, but he could roughly envision what it might look like. The were-rabbit was peculiar, but Baharius knew the concepts of both rabbits and "were-creatures". He had seen rabbits hopping and darting within the shadowy banks, but they weren't like those he'd encountered back on his home world Not only were most of these lagomorphs "sentient", but a few were also significantly larger than those found here, like those of <a href="https://preview.redd.it/hr09kug4d2e71.jpg?auto=webp&amp;s=3dbf14e3a1e7fb4bba6156c9e2260bc54c4aa4ba" target="_blank" class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fhr09kug4d2e71.jpg%3Fauto%3Dwebp%26s%3D3dbf14e3a1e7fb4bba6156c9e2260bc54c4aa4ba&amp;hash=35ee0ebe850991b758bab63a7a1c1040" rel="nofollow ugc noopener"><b><i>Nuralagus rex</i></b></a>. And while he hasn't seen a "were-creature" in the flesh, Baharius had heard stories of them during his times as a gladiator through word of mouth and tall-tales. Pictures and descriptions of "were-wolves" were most commonly referred, but he'd heard nothing about rabbits taking on these forms. As funny as that might sound, the saurian knew better than to underestimate such a foe. <br>
<br>
Yet it was the Banshee that left Baharius completely in the dark. He hadn't heard such a creature before, only going by the Hag's description of her screaming near the interior of the swamp once nightfalls. However, it seemed that the silver haired woman (<a href="/members/saxon.96608/" class="avatar avatar--xxs" data-user-id="96608" data-xf-init="member-tooltip">
			<img src="/data/avatars/s/96/96608.jpg?1653508729" alt="saxon" class="avatar-u96608-s" width="48" height="48" loading="lazy"> 
		</a> <a href="/members/saxon.96608/" class="username " dir="auto" data-user-id="96608" data-xf-init="member-tooltip">saxon</a>
) - being fairly confident in the group's abilities - seemed to know a bit more about this creature. He trodded over to her and leaned his reptilian head towards her. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"What do you know about these... banshees?"</span></b> the saurian asked curiously to Nissa in a low voice, while listening to the hag answering everyone else's questions. He wasn't going to bother with figuring out what the fourth monster could be at this point. <br>
<br>
As soon as everyone had their requests answered, the Hag would retreat back into the swampy depths as quickly as she appeared. Once completely gone, Baharius gave an acknowledging hiss and turned to face the entire group. <br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Prepare yourselves,"</span></b> Baharius announced to the group, already reminding of his leadership skills as a general back in his world, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"<b>We have much ground to cover. </b>Since there are 4 of us here, I propose that we split up; either in 3 groups of 2... or in 2 groups of 3. The former option will allow us to find the three known monsters simultaneously, but in limited numbers. The latter will provide better protection in numbers, however forcing us to look for two at a time and slowing the search. Nonetheless, on<b>ce we finished taking care of the known three, we can group up here and face the last creature together, unless a group encounters it early." </b></span></b></div>

<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"><span style="font-size: 26px"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1660093708892-png.1010675/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/947/947805-cb1c386a8cbfae7ed1289952dbff9697.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1660093708892.png" title="1660093708892.png" width="100" height="114" loading="lazy"></a></span></span>​</div><br>
For reason or another Kesh wasn't able to react for what seemed like the time when everything had unraveled, the appearance of this hag, the weak attempt of a threat from that Alice character, Scylla's possible offence from Kesh's words. This substance she was on was feeling good on her although made the world pass by a bit too much. Eventually, she snapped out of it when Cayde had looked her in her eyes, face to face about her having a pet. Kesh's eyes lit up and her smile widened into a grin. Kesh immediately hugged the plague doctor smiling as she was somewhat tight with her hug, although her strength was somewhat weak, so it wasn't too hard for Cayde to break out. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Yes, yes! Of course, Clyde! Kesh will take of pet-darling!</span></b> " Kesh cooed happily as she pulled away from the plague doctor, then she looked offended by Cayde's assumption that she would experiment on her, yet to be, pet. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Hey! I wouldn't experiment-test on my darling-pet.</span></b> " Kesh crossed her arms with a barely angry look, more offended than actually angry. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">I'm not an animal-monster. </span></b>" Kesh stated before smiling again uncrossing her arms, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">So I experiment-test on myself instead. </span></b>" Kesh looked over to the others around them.<br>
<br>
Kesh's eyes moved to the old woman before them, with a strange hunch on her back and a nest on the hunch a little bird on it. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Wow. That woman has some great balance with that hunch on her back.</span></b> " Kesh stated, her eyes looking around when she felt something off in the air, she could feel a taste of magic on the air of this swamp. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Hey, Clyde, I can see magics in the air. Like little streaks... But I can't tell where they're going. </span></b>" Her eyes looked into the air. She reached up with a hand and took a step forward before she fell forward into the mud. Laying there for a moment as she heard droppings, Kesh got back up to her feet wiping the mud off herself, still smiling until she then looked sad. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Oh. Old woman is gone.</span></b> " Kesh had a saddened voice. She then snapped out of it with a weird looking smile. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">OKAY! Listen up!</span></b> " Kesh pointed at the large reptile, Baharius, "<span style="color: #a38f84"><b> Big lizard guy makes a good point! We can split up in groups of three. I think it should be Kesh, Clyde and big lizard man Balthazar in one group. Then Alisitate (Clairice), Stylish (Scylla), Larry (Nissa), that may or may not sound like a lie, and uh... that... Actually, I don't think we got a name from the weird lady over there. <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)"><b>" </b></span></b></span>Kesh stated looking at the strangest of them all, Chandra. Kesh leaned into Cayde, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Clyde... I don't trust that weird woman. She's weird. </span></b>" Kesh stated a bit loudly. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">But I want Balthazar with us. </span></b>" Kesh looked at the large reptile and did a weird gibberish talking that sounded like squeaking. <br>
<br>
Kesh then looked at the group. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Clyde and Balthazar and Kesh better go find that tree demon. </span></b>" Kesh laughed nervously before coughing and moving slowly behind Cayde with a terrified look. The Kesh began to sniff again, her eyes darted around and then her eyes laid on Nissa, with almost a crazy look in her. "<b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"> Dead...</span></b> " The Ratkin stated, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">There's a dead corpse-body!</span></b> " Kesh then pointed at Nissa, almost in an accusing manner. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Where did you get the contract to get back up after death-sleep!</span></b> " Kesh asked with a crazy look in her eyes.</div>

<span style="font-size: 15px">Nissa looked to the man dressed in plague doctor garb and squinted her eyes. <span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"I wouldn't be so quick to judge people by their looks; for all you know, I could be that Hag's apprentice told to spy on you all," </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">Nissa pointed out as she shook her head at the mortal's hopeful outlook on the situation. </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">To be frank, we still don't know much about the other creatures other than their appearance and signs. The banshee is relatively easy to track. We just wait for nightfall and follow the sounds," </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">She pointed out as the Hag spoke up. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Right, I trust that about how far I can throw a boulder," </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">She was about to continue as the Hag then disappeared and the sound of water droplets were heard as she vanished. </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)"><i>Hmmm, I wonder what kind of magic she can do, though I don't think I would like to find out by her attacking me. </i></span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">She thought to herself as she let out a sigh as her shoulders slumped down a bit, more or less ignoring what was going on at the moment around her. Or, well that was the case until the giant lizard moved towards her and leaned in. She then took a few steps back, </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"The banshee is an undead creature; some say it's a female spirit announcing the death of someone," </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">She explained before bringing her hand up to her chin. </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Though her wail is said to be particularly nasty, best not to get caught up in that if possible," </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">She paused for a moment.<br>
<br>
Nissa started to work through the information they were given as the group discussed the action plan. From the bits she was hearing, it was to split up into smaller groups to deal with the beasts. </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)"><i>Stupid mortals, they didn't hear what the Hag had said; always be on guard, and you want to split up into smaller groups? I don't think one of them would stand a chance against the monsters in this swamp by themselves; </i></span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">she thought to herself as the Rat was now talking. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Silence, you drug-addicted rat!" </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">Nissa snapped as sh was pulled from there thoughts as the rat when on and on. If she were back in her old life, she would have had a headache from the rat. </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"You speak before you think; the way you speak only furthers the point you use too many drugs for your own good. The fact that your kind is able to think probably is beyond me," </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">She paused as she massaged her temples before turning her back to the group for a minute and walking over to the water and leaning down to look out further into the swap. Dipping her hand in the water for a moment before turning back to face the group. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"I don't think splitting up is a good idea; we don't know enough about the creatures. Hunting 101 pick off the weakest of the group. The moment we split up, it divides our strength; it was just two creatures, sure that would be fine. But we are dealing with 4, and we only know something about three of them compared to the last one. We have no information about it; for all we know, the Hag could be the last creature. Frankly, the Banshee is probably going to be the most annoying out of the creatures we know about," </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">She concluded as she looked at the group. </span><br>

The hag's response left a bittersweet taste in Cayde's mouth. On one hand, she was <i>'nice'</i> enough to at least let them know who they were hunting - thanks to Baharius. But, on the other hand, her answer gave him nothing about her motives. He could've been slaying monsters to fuel a dark ritual for all he knew, and he'd be none the wiser. Of course, the monsters sounded like no angels, one was quite literally a demon, but that didn't stop Cayde's stomach from coiling in unease. He thought there had to be some trick, but perhaps <i>that</i> was the trick, that there was none to begin with. He had no idea of knowing, and that scared him the most—even more than a banshee, a forest demon, a were-rabbit, or his new dubious allies.<br>
<br>
Baharius was the first to organize the group, and Cayde found himself nodding along to the Saurial's plan. His initiative was already growing on Cayde, who felt a bit regretful for his apprehension earlier. Kesh's antics had eased his mind a bit, too, her enthusiasm earning a hearty laugh from him. She always found a way to unintentionally lighten the mood; that was one of Cayde's favorite qualities. Anxiety wasn't one of them, however. So, when Kesh scurried away from Nissa and Chandra, spouting about dead bodies, Cayde shot a wary glance at her. Initially, he thought it was just another one of Kesh's 'trips,' but once he saw the genuine fear in her eyes, another coil formed in his stomach. Maybe something <i>was</i> wrong with these two women - something he couldn't see. Cayde took a step back, his fingers grazing over his crossbow.<br>
<br>
Cayde quickly realized what he'd done. Albeit small, he'd let skepticism control his actions. He couldn't let that happen again. He had to work with these people to get out of these swamps alive. Despite whatever they were hiding, he had to put some trust in them - there was no other way. He needed to calm down. He was supposed to be the optimistic one. He couldn't let this swamp get to him; that's exactly what the monsters wanted. That's exactly what the hag wanted, too, he bet. <br>
<br>
Then, Nissa snapped at Kesh. Not just at her, but a petty jab at her race. Cayde felt his skin tingle as bright, hot white stars exploded across his vision. He wanted to walk over there and <i>scream</i> at her, let her know the gravity of their collective situation, but instead, he let his anger flow through him. Draining from his head, down to his feet, and finally, out into the mud. Cayde shut his eyes, craned his head to the sky, and took three large breaths. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b><i>"Put your trust in them." </i></b></span>He reminded himself, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b><i>"They're your only way out." </i></b></span><br>
<br>
Finally, when Baharius and Nissa gave their ideas, Cayde decided to add his two cents. He turned to Baharius first, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Baharius, I like the sound of your plan, but Lyse..." </b></span>He stopped to shoot her a side-long glare, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Lyse has a point. We'll have a much easier <i>and</i> safer time dealing with these monsters if we stick together." </b></span>Scratching at his chin, Cayde started to pace around. Mostly to jog his memory, partially to keep his emotions in check, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"It will take longer, yes, but as far as we know - the hag has given no time limit. I can assume we've all the time in the world." </b></span>He said before stopping to face the giant lizardman again, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I</span></b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b> do agree we should save one monster for later, and I suggest that should be the tree demon. As the hag described it, it must be the most powerful of all <i>three</i>, so we should take on the wererabbit first, hunt the banshee at nightfall, rest, and deal with the demon last." </b></span><br>
<br>
Now he had to address the fourth monster: the un-seen threat they were told to be wary of at all times. Cayde didn't buy it, not for one second. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"As for the fourth monster, we do nothing - because I don't believe it even exists." </b></span>He resumed his mindless pacing again, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"This witch, she's been here for god-knows how long, harboring this hate for these creatures, so much to the point she's willing to compromise with <i>intruders</i> and tell them basically everything about these monsters, including that they have this 'swamp's favor.' Yet, for this last monster she despises so much, the <i>only</i> thing she can tell us is to be paranoid at all times? As if she, with a long past with all these targets, doesn't know about one of them herself?" </b></span>He shook his head in disbelief, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Sounds to me like she just wants to keep us paranoid. If anything, this 'fourth monster' might not even be a literal monster. For all we know, it could be something as abstract as a feeling." </b></span>He said, awaiting the group's thoughts on his theory. Most of it was a shot in the dark, but he still believed that the hag wasn't completely honest with them.<br>
<br>
In the meantime, he ambled back to Kesh, kneeling to her again. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b><i>"Look, Kesh, I know these guys seem sketchy, but without their help, I don't think we'll be able to make it out of here. That means we've gotta stay on their good side, even if some of them don't want to do the same." </i></b></span>He whispered, a sigh escaping him as he placed a hand on her shoulder, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b><i>"If things go wrong, I promise I won't let a single one touch you or your 'potions.'" </i></b></span><br>
<br>
Clearing his throat, he turned back to the group with a question, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"So, the hag was talking about following these paths..." </b></span>He said, eyeing every face before him, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Kesh said she saw some things in the air. Did anyone else see anything like that?" </b></span></div>

Scylla<br>
<br>
When the grandmother of the swamp asked what the plan was, Scylla quickly reached for her book, furiously going through the pages and opening the tome to reveal an illustration.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Climatis Hopomanica!”</span> She blurted out loudly as she took out a piece of paper with the description,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Heres a description!” </span>she called out as if talking to a professor about a class assignment.<br>
<br>
Taking a few steps forward making sure this old woman could hear her clearly she continued, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Seeing that its summer, it should be in its vegetative state, before it develops the ability to spit fire. I understand its quite a rare plant, as you likely know, but the Academy has expressed a great interest in studying it closer. Namely its ability to harness elemental fire.” </span><br>
<br>
She then looked on as the others interacted with the old witch before her attention was brought up to a strange feeling, it felt as if the entire swamp was connected by somekind of connective magic. Scylla, kind of spaced out for a moment, reaching out with her cakey hands.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “I.. theres some kind of..”</span> she paused as she felt she could almost see these ’threads’<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">. “..magical energy that connects the various areas here.” </span>Surely this was how they would find the four unwanted residents that reside within this maze marshland.<br>
<br>
Snapping out of it her hand reached for the old witch, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“H-hey how does-“</span> Before she knew it the crone was gone, Scylla kicked the ground a little before joining the others. Looking at the others in the group as they discussed how to best move forward. And whether or not to split into groups or face every challenge head on as a whole unit.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Although, plitting up would get us to every opponent as quickly and effeciently as possible..”</span> holding up a lecturing finger, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“..there’s simply no way to conclude which one of our skill sets, or combinations has the most advantage to whichever of those four.” </span><br>
<br>
As everyone else continued to come to some kind of terms, much of the uneasy air had dissipated until Nissa lashed out at Kesh for smelling something on her. Or was it Nissa herself? For now she found it approproate to not involve herself in any drama. At least until she got to know them a little better.<br>
<br>
As for Caydes analysis, it rang true for Scylla as well, she raised her hand before speaking, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Speaking of feelings..” </span>she interrupted,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..there appears to be some kind of pathway brought together by a kind of large magical infrastructre. We likely detect it due to our sensitivity to magic.”</span> she smiled to herself, shaking her head in silent amusement,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..heh.. I wish Renee was here, she’s fascinated by archaic magical layouts such as these.”</span> Shrugging, she scribled some notes in her book.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “I'm certain she’d love to hear of my findings here."</span></div>

Kalina had been making sure to keep her distance from them all for a multitude of reasons. She didn't know them, she didn't trust them and she didn't want to risk being found out. That said, when the rat was calling her 'weird' and stated she didn't trust her, she figured she had to get on with the act a bit. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“She... said not to give our names.”</b></span> Kalina said, pointing at Clarice. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“So call me... I don't know... Kate or something?”</b></span> Coming up with a fake name for a fake identity was getting a bit too multi-layered, but it'd have to do. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“And I... I don't trust you either.”</b></span>  She figured that was in-character enough to say aloud to someone as weird and intrusive as the rat. She was quick to figure out that keeping that rat at a distance was going to be necessity, as it apparently had a strong enough sense of smell to sniff out the other vampire. It was a bit odd that the scent was giving them away, rather than the lack of mosquitoes and leeches attacking them, especially seeing how the hefty swamp stench was making it tough to smell the subtle scent of relatively lively undead like vampires, but perhaps Kesh had just gotten a lucky whiff of it. Either way, Kalina figured she wouldn't chance being downwind and figured she'd make sure to use her disguise to mask her scent even further than the swamp air itself did the moment she was out of sight. <br>
<br>
That said, the fellow vampire wasn't exactly making a good case for herself. Rather than denying the accusations, she seemed to double down on it. Now, the big question was, should she act aggressively or not? It'd be very in-character, but might also make the others more weary of Kalina herself. It'd be a double-edged blade. Weirdest of all, however, would be to not react to it at all. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“W-wait... are you really a vampire? Does that mean you'll take our blood?!?”</b></span> Saying that in any convincing way really took Kalina the highest extend of her [Deception E], but even with that, Kesh's heightened hearing (which was more reliable in this swamp area than her smell) would be able to pick up on the fact that the fear in her voice didn't seem as pressing or legitimate as one might think. Whilst Kesh didn't have the insight needed to discern the truth of Kalina's words or notice her true feelings on the matter, she did have the hearing to notice just a slight lack of emotion behind them.<br>
<br>
As for her fellow vampire, she made some good points. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“My friends were killed even without splitting up, so I know how dangerous this place is. Even if we can't trust one-another all that much, it still feels safer to at least try to cooperate as a group.”</b></span> There was one thing she disagree with, the idea that the hag was the fourth. After all, why would the hag ask to be chased out of her own swamp? Kalina figured she'd leave it to someone else to point that out. <br>
<br>
She did, however, wish to interact with the alchemist a bit more. After all, he seemed to know what he was doing and he seemed to try to keep everyone together. The latter was something that would be very beneficial to her in the long run, so befriending him a little would probably be a very valuable investment. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“With due respect, mister alchemist, I think our time is limited by the supplies we have. We're fairly well-supplied thanks to miss Alice, but even that will run out if we get lost or get stuck. After all, we'll also have to find our way back afterwards.”</b></span> She did agree with the order he suggested. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“That sounds like a good plan to me.”</b></span><br>
<br>
On the other hand, she wasn't fully agreeing with Cayde on the fourth monster. She was rather [Critical] of his interpretation. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I'm not sure about it. What if the fourth monster knows things about her that she doesn't want us to know, or something like that? Or what if it made some demon deal with her that makes it impossible for her to tell us about it? Or perhaps she just wants us to be surprised by it and kill it immediately out of fear, before questioning it. Or perhaps the fourth monster even managed to trick her...”</b></span> There were a lot of alternatives, which Kalina genuinely believed to be possible. Cayde's theory was just one option, from what she knew. As for his question, she shook her head. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I've got no clue what she's talking about, I'm afraid.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Scylla had managed to show the plant to the Hag just in time, but the latter had only nodded before vanishing. However, being the only one that had gotten relatively close to the hag in order to show something, Scylla had also heard the odd sound of droplets falling and, just for a short second, so short that one might brush it off as a trick on the eyes, could've sworn she saw something small shimmer a bit before moving off in an almost fluttering manner. <br>
<br>
Furthermore, now that she was focussing upon it and having the highest degree of magic affinity out of all of them, Scylla was actually able to conclude one more thing. These threads weren't random, they were laid out in some sort of pattern. By focussing upon them, it was as if the mind itself could travel along them for a bit, granting some very vague awareness of their entire lay-out, which was spanning across the swamp like web. Whilst there weren't any indications on what was where, it would allow Scylla to notice where they were and to make sure they weren't covering the same area twice. However, even with that ability, one problem remained.<br>
<br>
Kalina was the one who pointed it out. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“So... I know we wanted to find the were-rabbit first, but... is there any way to find a specific one of them, rather than just stumble around until we run into a random one?”</b></span> She looked at Scylla in particular upon asking that question. However, inside, she was thoroughly suppressing surprise upon hearing the name Renee. Was this as friend of her sister?!? What in the world was she doing here then? She wondered how Renee was doing. She wondered how these two knew each-other. She wondered if this witch's blood would be as good as Renee's. She... figured she'd have to try her best to keep all those thoughts to the background as to not give away her identity. Perhaps, with some luck, she could speak to this Scylla in private at some point.</div>

 </b>(Nissa) |<br>​</div><hr><br>
As it turned out, Baharius' plan would find itself under strict opposition from most of the party. Only Kesh seemed to "agree" with him and that's not saying much. And in hindsight, they rightfully so. Here he was, attempting to take control of the situation to a bunch of unknown players he just met 5 minutes ago, in a completely unfamiliar world, and against unknown foes. The saurian cursed to himself at the sudden realization; no doubt being a side effect from being away from his general duties for so long. He was not the type to keep to his point if there were better options available; a lesson he gained during his early years with his lieutenants. While the process of "divide and conquer" are good in certain circumstances, this clearly wasn't a good situation to utilize it.<br>
<br>
Baharius gave a respectful nod at those questioning his tactics, his gaze now turning to Chandra. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Perhaps you are right."</span></b> he agreed with a low conceding hiss before turning to the rest nearby, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"It's best we not get too hasty here. Whilst it will be slow going to move as a collective unit, our chances of survival increase with every member present. We need all the strength and advantages we can get against these unknown monsters..."</span></b><br>
<br>
With everyone now aligned on their tactics moving forward, the question now is which of the three known should they go after first. Nissa recommended they get the banshee first, whom she explained earlier to Baharius as a feminine spirit who weaponizes her voice for combat. Meanwhile, Clayde wanted to go after the tree demon, which the saurian took to be the biggest of the three threats. And Chandra wanted to go after the were-rabbit but wonders if there were any specific ways in finding one directly through some series of clues. Indeed, any clues would help break the current stalemate.<br>
<br>
Again, the saurian tried to sniff the air for even the faintest whiff of a scent, despite knowing his senses wasn't quite up to the task as he once was. Could he smell the rotting roots of the tree demon from here? He cocked his head sideways, allowing his tiny earholes to maybe listen to the cries of the banshee in the far distance. And turning his head towards the ground, Baharius then started searching for any signs of foot prints belonging to a giant rabbit. And if he could be extra lucky, perhaps some new trail leading to the 4th unknown monster would show up early. Really any sort of clue would do at this point... a starting point at least. <br>
<br>
Whatever pops into view first, his massive blade was waiting eagerly for them...</div>

<span style="font-size: 15px">Nissa continued to massage her temples on the side of her head. The rat was annoying enough, but some of these people's common sense seemed lacking. Though out of the group, the person she felt was hiding more was 'Kate' though she couldn't prove or disprove it. So she decided it would be best to leave that whole situation alone for the time being. <span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Whatever we decide to do is the important part; there is no point in wasting time on theories or things we cannot perceive to comprehend," </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">she stated as she looked around the group and then toward the supplies. She had to admit that there were limited supplies and the best course would be to complete this quickly and efficiently. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Well, the witch seems preoccupied with writing down events," </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">she sighed before looking to Kate as she tried to come up with things. </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Yes, very convincing made-up name; I bet that is part of your actual name," </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">she retorted, slow clapping as she rested her hands on her hips as she tried to think. </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)"><i>As it stands, the Banshee would be the quickest target; we simply wait and follow the sound of the wails. However, that would mean wasting a reasonable amount of time. </i></span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">She thought to herself before the woman spoke again, freaking out and asking if she was a vampire. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Oh yes, I'm here to suck on some blood or something like that; believe what you want to believe. Regardless there is still a task at hand to accomplish. Frankly, the lizard over here is more of a threat than a vampire, in my opinion," </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">She retorted in an annoyed tone. She may just be a fledgling compared to some vampires. but Still, she wasn't about to let the giant lizard be free from all of this. Though as 'Kate" continued on Nissa only yawned and leaned against a tree. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Alright, this is what I say we do since it makes the most sense right now, and we can debate the right way, the wrong way, and who is a vampire and who isn't later. The banshee will wail at night, so I say we sit here, set up camp, and wait for that to happen. Once she wails, then we follow the sound; problem solved. In the meantime, you all can debate pointless things," </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">She concluded as she glanced around at the group. </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Like it? Got it, good," </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">she spoke, looking at each group member as she then made her way towards the water again and tried to see what she could hear around her. </span></span><br>

As Nissa suggested they wait here and engage the Banshee first, Baharius turned to face the vampire with a displeased growl. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"No."</span></b> he replied forthrightly with a low raspy hiss. He was slowly starting to get a little annoyed by the vampire lady's haughty attitude. She may be one who suggested they stick together, but they weren't going to stand here twiddling their thumbs just to find the most elusive. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"We'll be wasting time. <b>If this banshee-creature comes out a night, we should be searching for at least one of the two diurnal foes first as others suggested.

Just remember, miss, we have numbers...</b></b></b>"</span></b><br>
<br>
The beast then lifted up his massive blade, pointing it upwards to his rightside facing the green pond. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"And a blade big enough to cleave any in two if necessary..."</span></b></div>

Things were shaping up well. There were a few theories on the fourth monster, and Cayde didn't object to them. For all he knew, it could've been a combination of them or something completely unexpected. Cayde bet on the last one - it seemed almost every one of his adventures had some crazy twists. Still, they hadn't stopped his constant positive outlook. Neither would they now. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Whatever the fourth monster is, I'm sure we'll show em' what's for," </b></span>Cayde beamed, a smile forming in his voice, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Like I said: We're basically unstoppable, eh?" </b></span>He hoped so. He <i>really</i> hoped so.<br>
<br>
Then came <s>Chandra's  </s>Kate's concern about supplies, something Cayde gave an affirmative nod to. While he was confident his [Nature] and [Survival] skills would help pull him through these swamps, he couldn't deny that standard equipment would do a world of good. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"We'll have to use our supplies wisely then. But, I'll find some food for us if push comes to shove." </b></span>He paused to study the group, taking in the shapes of their forms. It wouldn't be too difficult to feed them all, assuming this swamp was just as abundant in edible plants as it were leeches and mosquitoes. Baharius would be tricky, but hopefully, there'd be plenty of fish to state his appetite. Cayde nodded slowly, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Can't say I've ever foraged in a magical swamp, but there's a first time for everything, right?" </b></span>He said, turning to Kesh next, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Plus, if we find any <i>magical fruit,</i> I'll let you get the first bite, Kesh. How does that sound?" </b></span><br>
<br>
The next topic of conversation was an interesting one. Again, there was more talk of the monsters, though a vampire within the group was mentioned this time. The uttering of the word sent a slight chill down Cayde's spine. Like most monsters, he had only read about vampires, all of his books describing them as deceitful, loathsome creatures, always lurking in the shadows of society. But, of course, that was before Vegard, where his concept of 'all monsters are evil' was shattered into pieces. So now, he was uncertain. A vampire in the group could be a significant threat, or it could be nothing. A tiny part of him hoped for the latter.<br>
<br>
First and foremost, Cayde had to address Nissa's plan to wait for the banshee. Cayde shook his head in disagreement. As anxious as he was about these swamps, he wasn't keen on sitting around for a single monster. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Baharius' got you this time, Lyse," </b></span>Cayde said, almost sing-songy. He cleared his throat before pettiness would overcome him, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"If we move now, we can probably knock off the were-rabbit from the list." </b></span>He tried looking up into the gnarled trees, past the leaves, and into the afternoon sky, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"If I've gotta take a guess, we're in the afternoon. By the time we finish with the rabbit, we'll have time to hunt the banshee at night, as Baharius said." </b></span>He stated, though his mind was drifting elsewhere. He'd hunted rabbits before but never a lycanthrope, even more so a rabbit lycanthrope. He scoured his brain, using <b>[Bestiary Bookworm] </b>to find any beneficial knowledge on them.<br>
<br>
As for the vampire conversation, Cayde dismissed his interest with a wave of his hand. He eyed Nissa, however. She'd been the target of many accusations and hadn't even denied them. That was definitely something to be suspicious about. But, for now, he decided to address the whole group, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Look, whether there are vampires here or not - we're stuck here together, so they'll have to work with us if they want out too." </b></span>He said, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"If they try anything, well, there's six of us and one of them." </b></span>He shrugged and readied his crossbow, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"I'm sure they know basic math."</b></span><br>
<br>
With that said, Cayde knelt to a crouching position, allowing Kesh to hop on his back if she pleased. While piggybacking her around made him sore after a while, it did make him feel a bit safer. He'd never admit it, though. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Rabbits tend to like places with a lot of cover, so maybe our wererabbit'll be no different?" </b></span>Cayde suggested, looking for a trail matching the description. For good measure, he removed his mask. For this hunt, he'd need all his senses uninhibited.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"If that's the case, keep your ears peeled and your eyes opened." </b></span>He reached up and pulled down the collar of his shirt, revealing his pale neck. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"And just in case <i>the vampire gets hungry..." </i></span></b>Cayde announced, the same joking tone entering his voice, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"I'll keep a neck open." </b></span><br>
<br>

<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1660701326699-png.1013159/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/950/950289-cb1c386a8cbfae7ed1289952dbff9697.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1660701326699.png" title="1660701326699.png" width="100" height="114" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Kesh still untrusting of Nissa, had her wide eyes staring at her from behind Cayde, she narrowed her eyes then raised her brows before squinting. Maybe she was just high? No. Not high enough, Kesh pulled out a small bag from her pocket that had some strange yellow crusty powder. She opened it and stuffed a finger in it. Covering her finger she brought her to her nose and took a deep whiff. Kesh's eyes almost popped out of her head as she then put the bag away. Shaking her head, her mood grew more focused. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">That's </span></b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"><i>Frog Dust</i></span><b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">, it makes me more focused.</span></b> " Moving out from behind Cayde, Kesh began to realize the problem here, her voice somewhat changed to that of a sensible person, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Wait, why are we all so distrusting of each other? We are suppose to be helping the older woman with the hunch on her back. I doubt we should be so distrusting otherwise we won't be able to get things done. I mean look, we're on the second page of a book and we still aren't really doing anything. </span></b>" What did that mean? Who knew, it was Kesh. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">I suggest we stop the side remarks and comments and get to it. And lady that may be a vampire or not. I am sorry.</span></b> " Kesh stated, she sounded somewhat easier to understand, not even making a synonym. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">For now we need to agree to a vote what we are going to do, who we are going to go after and come to a agreement.</span></b> "  Kesh was serious now. Which was very weird to say the least, while He had hardly any actual fighting abilities, she was quite the sneaky thief and tinkerer. Perhaps she could try to create some sort of strange device with the wildlife and magic. While to Cayde it was weird seeing Kesh act so serious, it was usually when she inhale this <i>Frog Dust</i> she had creates. <br>
<br>
Looking to Clarice and Scylla, Kesh had her eyes on Clarice, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Threatening to kill or severely injure someone with a aneurysm won't make you allies, but only enemies and cause more dissension within the group, while being more prone to be attacked and betrayed since you're giving reason to. As for the witch, Scylla, we can use your abilities to help destroy what we come across if need be. Or to drive away.</span></b> " Kesh continued looking to Baharius, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Baharius, your size and power can help protect some of us weaker and frail people. You could be our bulwark of power and first into battle.</span></b> " Her eyes continued down the way to reach... Kesh wasn't even sure anymore about this person, Kate? Her voice lacked actual emotion in which Kesh felt like she should have called out but this was not the time to do so. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">It seems our target is this wererabbit, we better go now, if a wererabbit at night transforms it may be easier to take out now. Assuming it already transformed.</span></b> " Kesh continued but then she began to shake her head as the drug began to wear off, resorting her back to her normal being of being a strange rat. Kesh smiled, " <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"><i>Frog Dust</i></span><b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"> makes Kesh focus-attentive.</span></b> " She smiled just as she jumped in Cayde's back, acting like nothing she just said happened. The Ratkin was strange but those were probably her inner thoughts. This was going to be a long day for everyone. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">So, when do we go?</span></b> " Kesh asked Cayde having her arms wrapped around the Alchemist's shoulders for better holding as to not fall off.</div>

<br>
Scylla stood there waiting for some kind of explanation, yet to her immediate surprise the crone vanished, nothing but a flicker. <i>Wait. What was that shimmering in the swamp woman’s robes as she disappeared?</i> She wondered, then to the peculiar echoing of droplets, she glanced at the others quickly then back to where the hag had been.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Did you-?” </span>She stuttered, as she scanned her surroundings, attempting to pinpoint the sound. But what she instead beheld was almost like glimpses in her mind, flashes of the swamp layout, but nothing in regards to what is where, it was very much like a maze was revealed. Beckoning them to traverse through the shadow and anything could be hiding through these muddy marshes. At least, whatever they’d explore they’d be aware of not moving through again.<br>
<br>
As Scylla wrote her findings in her book, the pen would suddenly splatter ink on the page as the witch squeezed it in outrage at the vampires attitude.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "ACK!"</span> She pointed the feathered writing utensil at the vampire, about to retort in return, when the vampire deviously and sarcastically admitted she was one of those undead blood drinkers. Scyllas mind was then transported to memories of various entries in archived reports in the Academy Library. Manly of intermediate mages attempting to slay and gather vampires ashes for powerful potions. All but a few ever returning to complete their magical pursuits. And those who did, were never the same after such encounters.<br>
<br>
Nissas suggestions weren’t bad per say, but her insistence on everyone just sitting around made her suspect. If she was indeed a vampire, then she likely wants blood. If everyone is distracted, socializing provides the perfect cover to commit the deed.<br>
<br>
Suddenly, her pulse quickened at the thought of being bitten by one. The thought of being drained dry by a blood sucker sent a chill up her spine. Nervously laughing Scylla continued, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“heh! V-very funny Nissa, I- I don’t believe you’re a vampire. I.. it’s easy to just call pale people names. Not okay.” </span>She nodded, likely upsetting her further, but hopefully not?<br>
<br>
Scylla would attempt to distract herself, <i>Right. Theres an entire map in my mind that needs to be explored! </i>She thought to herself, once again her hands reached out, as if in some kind of trance, almost feeling the various pathways the group could take. It felt like going east was their best bet in encountering the 'were-rabbit-lycanthrope', her logic, being that rabbits weren't too keen on noise. Being near the middle of the swamp, if there were other residents wouldn't be the most ideal. No. The rabbit would definitely take up residence near the outer rim of the marshland.<br>
<br>
Opening her eyes, she sighed and looked at Kate, who seemed uneasy about something, Scylla would smile nervously at her,<i> was it something I said?</i> she wondered, before addressing her question, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“I’m afraid we’re just going to have to take some risks.” </span>Pouting with fake disappointment. She glanced at Clarice, knowing full well that she would likely be against such a thing. She wasn't too much of a risk taker. A rather serious tone enveloped the witch's expressions soon after in regards to her re-evaluation of the situation, addressing the group, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“I have no intention of being here longer than necessary..” </span>she began, her eyes closed dutifully as she held up a lecturing finger, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“..but I also don’t intend on returning to the Academy empty handed..”</span> opening her eyes, the witch's mood grew more and more devastated as she continued.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..as an.. incompetent.. unreliable.. fraudulent.. unworthy.. unnecessary.. incapable.. expendable..” </span>she held her cheek in introspective daydreaming fright.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..failure.”</span> She whispered to herself,<span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “No.. please.. anything but that.”</span></span><br>
<br>
Apparently snapping out of her self induced trance however, Scylla blinked a bit then chuckled with embarrassment.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Well, we all have our reasons to press forward, right..?” </span>she shrugged,<span style="color: #9365b8"> "..how about a vote? Whoever wants me to navigate for this group of trusty warriors, please raise your hand." </span>She said confidently, as she held the front brim of her hat with a wink. Then immediately raising her hand, she nodded, wondering if anyone had even been paying attention. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Great! I accept this very big responsibility!" </span>Without another word, Scylla returned to the donkey, grabbed whatever was left of her cake, stuffed the wrapped slices in her robes and marched east, holding up her left hand to better visualize the threaded layout through the dense marshes. She'd tiptoe through some bogs, and keep herself dry by stepping on stones instead of the water. Casting [Control Environment] on herself to keep dry, just in case she accidentally slipped or miscalculated while concentrating on the path.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Ready or not.. here I come!" </span></div>

The lizard, big as he was, didn't really faze Kalina and she forgot to act out such a thing. Then again, the character she was in right now would've seen enough horrors for something like Baharius not to scare her. If anything, she should probably act 'tired' of things like this. <br>
<br>
That said, her fellow vampire was being quite a... challenging personality. Kalina didn't mind Nissa too much, as her actions meant less attention would go to herself, but it was confusing. There was one comment she couldn't let slide, as that'd be more suspicious than taking some action. Upon Nissa saying she'd take her blood, she raised her crossbow. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I'll slay you on the spot if you ever come close to me, you monster! Make sure to keep your distance!”</b></span> That was the natural reaction to learning someone was a monster. She'd heard it being said to herself, after all. She wasn't sure what was up with these other people. Perhaps they were just waiting to see how anyone else would respond first, so she'd act the proper part and assure that she was left out of suspicion for now.<br>
<br>
The oddly optimistic alchemist quickly grabbed her attention once more. He did seem eager to poison his pet rat with dangerous swamp-fruits, but Kalina could hardly blame him for it. The creature seemed like a huge hassle to have to deal with all the time. His neck looked appetising, but giving any attentions to such thoughts would undo all her hard work at keeping up this persona. Instead, she sighed. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“This entire swamp is covered mostly equally, from what I can tell. I doubt that it'll help us a lot.”</b></span><br>
<br>
As for Cayde's attempt to recall more on the Wererabbits, he did come up with some things he'd once read about. For one, Wererabbits looked like normal Rabbitfolk or Haregons most of the time, two species he'd run into in the Holy City of Vegard. Just like lycanthropy, they could transform into a much more feral and dangerous version of themselves. Unlike werewolves, however, this wasn't triggered by a full moon or anything like that, nor was it something they could do consciously. Instead, it was triggered when they got very emotional, in particular when they got furious or terrified. He couldn't recall any particular weaknesses or strengths, other than the basic assumption that they'd have some form of regeneration. Perhaps the latter would dawn on him again when he saw one.<br>
<br>
As for Kalina, she was just silently staring at the rat suddenly trying to be a mediator. That said, perhaps it'd help get the job done a bit smoother. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“For as long as nobody gets too close, I'm fine with working together. Even with a vampire.”</b></span> She made sure to use her [Deception E] to make the latter statement of working with a vampire sound as doubtful as she could make it. <br>
<br>
Renee's acquaintance, on the other hand, clearly wasn't blessed with the highest degree of intellect. Kalina was puzzled about her denying Nissa's vampirism. If it was just about the paleness, that Alchemist was definitely one of her kind as well. Her list of bad names for herself was weird to her as well. The strangest of all, however, were the mood swings. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Right... please lead the way, miss witch.”</b></span> Kalina said, still trying to get a sense of what this girl was going through in the span of minutes.<br>
<br>
That said, as they were traversing the swamps, making sure to avoid going in circles by following Scylla's ability to sense the threads, she made sure to stay a bit behind in the group. The excuse was that she used a ranged weapon. The real reason was that she didn't wish to have her back turned to any of these people. Then again, the latter would probably apply to most of them, so she was fine with having some people to her sides as a compromise. <br>
<br>
As the group was travelling through the swamps, Kesh and Nissa would soon hear the sounds of someone fighting. Baharius, being on high alert, was next to hear it. The rest would hear it a bit later, if they were to approach the source of the sound. It was a Rabbitfolk, perhaps even the Wererabbit they'd been looking for, but they were fighting some nasty looking creatures. Cayde would recognise those to be Plague Boggearts. <br>

They were weak both in strength and sturdiness, but their claws and teeth dripped with all sorts of toxins, poisons and diseases that could make anything they bit wither away, plant and person alike. Their aggression to just about anything that moved or got in their made them an enemy to all other species, even fellow monsters, as they had too little intellect to be capable of speech or reasoning. Some said they were plagues incarnate into monster form. <br>

<span style="color: #F08080"><b>“In the name of Virtus, be slain you foul creatures!”</b></span> A clear feminine voice shouted out across the marshes, stemming from the bunny woman that was fighting the Plague Boggearts. She seemed to be able to hold her own, using a hefty looking hammer with surprising strength in one hand to smash the boggearts to bits whilst using some sort of light magic to make sure they didn't attack her with their foul fangs and claws from the other hand. That said, she looked to be weary and tired, whilst there were at least twenty or so of these Plague Boggearts trying to gang up on her.</div>

Of all people Cayde expected to try to string the group together, Kesh was the last. Nevertheless, she'd brought up some good points in her monologue, all while using proper grammar, not a single one of her 'word-synonym' lingo appearing anywhere. To many, it'd seemed her personality did a 180 as if her previous ditziness was nothing but a facade. To Cayde, however, it was drugs. Or, as Kesh called it, <i>Frog Dust.</i> He hid his displeasure behind pursed lips. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Kesh, what did I say about-" </b></span>Cayde caught himself again before saying something he'd regret. As much as he disliked her avid use of drugs, this <i>was</i> her way of alchemy, or at least that's how he <i>tried </i>to see it. He always thought she'd look better slinging potions than snorting curious substances, but how could he inhibit her creativity? What kind of peer would he be then? Cayde shook his head, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Nevermind," </b></span>He said quickly, offering Kesh a warm smile instead, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Let's just follow the nice witchy lady, okay?" </b></span>Then, with his crossbow in hand, he began his trek with the others. His smile faded quickly.<br>
<br>
The venture deeper into the swamps would be a quiet one. Cayde kept to himself, his eyes darting to the sides of the trail and his mind digesting the information he managed to dredge up. Fortunately for him, the were-rabbit didn't seem as bad now. Of course, she was still a lycanthrope, which meant he was always at risk of having his organs shown to him, but at least she wouldn't do it immediately. If he was careful, maybe the group could talk to her and end things without bloodshed. Cayde would've preferred it that way. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"When we find her, try not to agitate her, yeah?" </b></span>He told everyone, still keeping his eyes on the sides. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Wererabbits turn when they get angry or if they're spooked. It might help us to stay on her good side for now." </b></span>That was if she wasn't the man-eating monster the hag had made her out to be. Cayde prayed otherwise: "Death by Were-Rabbit" was not something he wanted on his gravestone. <br>
<br>
Then, he heard her. No doubt not as quickly as the others, but the sound of combat was hard to miss. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"<i>I think that's her!" </i></b></span>Cayde muttered to the group as he darted forward, catching sight of the beastkin. She was, in fact, a rabbit. A rabbit, Cayde noticed, who was surrounded by a horde of Plague Boggearts. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Look!" </b></span> he said, pointing towards the smaller monsters, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Plague Boggarts!" </b></span>He counted around twenty of them, all focused solely on the beast woman. A frown formed on his face, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Nasty little things those are. Their teeth and claws are practically dripping with poison and disease. Wouldn't be too happy if they got ahold of you." </b></span>Neither would the rabbit woman, Cayde knew, watching her fend the creatures off. It didn't seem she'd be able to do it for long, though. <br>
<br>
Cayde had to weigh his options. If he did nothing, she'd probably turn. Same if he attacked her first, plus there'd be an entourage of Boggarts to boot. His last choice was to help her, prove that he and his allies were not a threat, or at least not yet. His conscience thought it was a good idea too. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"We should help her." </b></span>Turning to face his companions, he said, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Look, if we can prove we're friendly, maybe we won't have to escalate anything into a fight." </b></span>He glanced in the beastkin's direction, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"We'll come out one by one, try taking out those monsters, talk to her afterward, and hope she isn't like the hag says." </b></span><br>
<br>
Cayde fished through his pack, pulling out his trusty alchemical pouch and some tools. He worked quickly: filling a beaker with alcohol, throwing in some crushed aromatic herbs, a hint of powdered Blue Dream, some powdered mushrooms, a few trickles of monster venom, and finally, a drop of mercury. He transferred the solution to a glass bottle, corked it, and gave it a good shake, producing a hastily-made <b>[Siren's Song]. </b>Unfortunately, h<b>e</b> wouldn't have time to admire the sparkly, aquamarine substance as it churned and bubbled in his hand - he needed to move quickly. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"I'll go first," </b></span>Was what Cayde said before he bolted away from the others and into the fray. <br>
<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Hey!" </b></span>Cayde shouted, stopping well out of slashing distance. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"I heard you yelling down the path! It looks like you need some help!" </b></span>If that didn't catch the monsters' attention, what he would do next hopefully would. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Hold your breath!" </span></b>Cayde said as he chucked the sweet-smelling poison into the crowd of monsters. <br>

As Scylla traversed the swamp through her magic sensitivity, she began to get a better feel for how it really worked in practice. Her eyes glowed slightly with a bluish hue, her hand raised forward as she lead the way. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Fascinating, its as if this entire swamp is connected..”</span> she muttered to herself,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..i wonder if this connection someway extends to living creatures, if not then perhaps the plant life!” </span>She exclaimed under her breath.<br>
<br>
It was then that she heard others calling out about some kind of commotion occuring off the path. Before she knew it, others had already arrived to where this paladin bunny had braced for a fight. Although she appeared exhausted, she wondered if she’d been running from these creatures. It didnt matter, as Cayde threw some kind of alchemical concotion making these first move against these Boggearts. Scylla followed Caydes suggestion to come out one at a time as quickly as she could. Before beholding the adorable paladin bunny. She didnt want to startle her so she maintained a comfortable distance.<span style="color: #9365b8"> “Hello there!” </span>She began with as frindly a smile and tone as she could possibly muster. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“It seems you have a problem!” </span>she said knowingly stating the obvious. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Mind if we help?” </span>Not expecting an answer she prepared a spell.<br>
<br>
Uncertain if this was the were-rabbit the crone had mentioned earlier, she didnt think it wise to not assume. So she had to be extra careful. Going through the spells on tap in her mind, she decided a basic fire spell would be much less startling than full on shades and specters.<br>
<br>
Her staff began to levitate infront of her as elemental fire began to circulate around her like fiery wisps, culminating at her staff before activating her spell.<br>
<i><b>[Fire Arrows]  </b></i>Aiming at 5 of the Boggearts away from the paladin bunny.<br>

Seeming to get his point across to Nissa, Baharius carried on in searching the nearby vicinity for clues. Others appeared to do the same, everyone spreading out in different directions. As far as the saurian knew, he was on his own for the meantime. Attuning his senses, Baharius was already on high alert for any signs of the creatures' whereabouts. His nostrils were filled with the smell of sulfuric marshlands and foul odors, yet no other unusual smells of note were yet to reveal themselves. Any unusual smells could lead him closer to the direction of the tree demon perhaps; but what kind of smell in particular is the question. The ground was still muddy as ever, with only a few small track ways dotting through the black muck. Yet there were no signs of any trackways matching the creature's descriptions. The stagnant lakes buzzed loudly with pestering flies, covered by the occasional croaking of frogs and cries of various exotic bird species; making it very difficult to catch any subtle sounds. If any of the creatures were purposefully keeping quiet and covering their tracks, Baharius would have to prepare himself for an ambush. Amber-colored eyes dotted spastically through the thick mush; his teeth chattering; he was excited, yet also cautious. He felt he was getting close to something~<br>
<br>
Suddenly, a sharp noise pierced through the ambience opposite of where Baharius was looking. It was a voice; a feminine voice crying out against vile foes. His head immediately cocked back towards the sound's direction, pausing only for the briefest of moments. It didn't sound like any of the party members, so that meant it could belong to one of two things. With a low grumble, the beast took on a mad sprint towards the source, using his massive forearms to heave himself forward with his blade.<br>
<br>
Once reaching the voice's location, Baharius saw what appeared to be a rabbit-person clad in armor fighting against a hoard of vile warty monsters. The paladin warrior seemed to be holding her ground rather well against the twenty odd-so creatures, but it was clear that they were taking its toll on her. That had to be the were-rabbit the Hag mentioned; at least in its dormant stage as he believed. Not long after, Clayde appeared near him and the others, where he brewed a plan that they should come out one by one, take out the monsters, and talk to the rabbit in a friendly matter, hoping that she isn't aggressive to them. The saurian agreed, letting Cayde be the first to throw a spray of poison at them, followed by Scylla's fire spell.<br>
<br>
Then Baharius stomped out of the brush, breathing heavily as he did. He made sure to keep his distance from the toxic fumes and gave a mighty <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UQE7N7O6q8&amp;t=25s" target="_blank" class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D9UQE7N7O6q8%26t%3D25s&amp;hash=1e99964daf8e0fc22b65d5a013d84172" rel="nofollow ugc noopener"><b><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">"Bestial Roar*"</span></b></a> towards the rambunctious rabble; attempting to see if they would be intimidated enough to flee. <br>
<br>
If it failed to demoralize the monsters, as the saurian suspects, he prepares his blade for a counter attack~<br>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/oip-10-jpg.1013912/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/951/951042-2a0b8391ae7057c7376b54449901ca55.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--left" style="" alt="OIP (10).jpg" title="OIP (10).jpg" width="100" height="145" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
<span style="font-size: 15px">Nissa looked towards the giant lizard as he spoke to her, <span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Would it be a waste of time, or would it be a simple plan? Regardless lizardman wandering blindly through the swamp with no real sense of where these things are is just as pointless, and we would be wasting supplies in the process." </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">Nissa replied as she glanced at the lizard, not budging from her stance. Puffing herself up a little bit, she took a few steps forward and poked the lizard in the chest, </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Not to mention, numbers do not always equal victory, but neither does quality over numbers. Simply relying on your bronze is stupid, and you should use that pea-sized matter in your head to think." </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">She then looked down at her finger and up at the lizard before stopping and wiping her finger on a nearby tree. <br>
<br>
She was then drawn to the Alchemist, who spoke to her along the same lines. </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"You both do realize we have no idea where this rabbit is right. WE could be wandering around for hours wasting energy; it would make sense to conserve the energy. This place has literally evolved to kill the weak; making yourself weaker is not the move to make here," </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">She stated as she shook her head and then rolled her eyes as the mention of the word Vampire once again.</span></span><br>
Nissa watched as the rat pulled out the dust and then snorted it in front of the group. <span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"See, that is what I mean; they are all drug addicts, how they even comprehend to do anything is beyond me. Apparently, the rat can mimic normal interaction when under the influence of drugs. I wouldn't trust the rat to make smart decisions in a fight if my life depended on it," </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">Nissa concluded, rather annoyed as the rat spoke up again. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"You witch truly are special, aren't you?" </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">Nissa asked as she spoke in a voice that had already come up with an answer. At the awkward moment when the witch said she wasn't a vampire, she just sighed. </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)"><i>These mortals are stupid; they always make stupid decisions and complain when something doesn't go right. </i></span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">She thought to herself as the witch then pulled her out of her thoughts as she went on a small rant about failure to which Nissa smirked. <br>
<br>
When 'Kate' pointed the crossbow at Nissa she glared as her opponent, drew her blade, and used her free hand to open her pack. </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Ah, hold it right there, put the toy down, girl; I won't have any issues starting a fight here with your especially. Put it down, or I will make you regret it, you stupid waste of flesh and space," </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">She threatened as she wasn't about to back down until the woman pointed the crossbow down. As the group started to move Nissa made sure to keep a distance away from Kate or well made sure Kate was never behind her or close to her. Then came the sound of fighting, which they moved towards it and saw the rabbit folk and the swamp monsters fighting. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"This is a waste of time would be simpler to let the creatures do the work for us or at least weaken it," </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">She suggested though that seemed to fall on deaf ears as several members of the group had already started to attack. Nissa shook her head and folded her arms across her chest as she let out an annoyed sigh and glared at the remaining members of the group. </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Since you are all asking for a death wish, I might as well be in the fight and watch your all fail," </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">she stated as she surged forward, drawing her blade. Going toward the nearest target, she then used Draining strike. <br>

<br>
Cayde's decision to play the hero paid off at first. His yelling already attracted a few of the Boggearts, turning them away from the rabbit and towards himself. Sadly enough, the Boggearts were considered to be incarnations of a plague and disease for a good reasons. With how many poisons, toxins and diseases were already inherent to them, one or two more wouldn't really affect them. As a result, it was unclear whether or not Siren's Song did much or if they were resistance to that as well. That said, his actions definitely attracted even more of them. In fact, Cayde was perhaps attracting a bit too much, as three of them suddenly popped up from the murky water to his south-east. The bunny woman merely gave him a quick glance and a nod, as she was too busy fending off the Boggearts to reply.<br>
<br>
Scylla entered the scene in a flashier manner. Although two of her fire arrows missed, the three others hit their targets and made them burn away with some loud hissing and screeching. It was clear these Boggearts weren't all that tough and from how well they burned despite being wet with swamp water, they were likely weak to fire. Her actions did attract some more Boggearts to rise from the swamp to her south-west, however, whom were considerably more drenched in swamp water and might be able to withstand the fire a bit better. <br>
<br>
As if they were having a competition, Baharius announced his presence in an even flashier manner, with a very loud roar. For a second, it looked like the Boggearts were shaken by it, but then their extremely ferocious nature took over again. He saw a lot of them eye him for a split second, before they rushed at him. Attracting the majority of attention away from Cayde and Scylla and towards himself. Whilst his roar was capable of temporarily halting them for a few seconds, it wasn't scary enough to fully chase them off, as their incredibly aggressive nature was too strong. They'd be in swinging range soon (next round), although he'd have to position himself carefully to swing his weapon around without endangering his allies. Meanwhile, the Plague Boggearts weren't the only ones that heard the roar. The rabbit, who'd been fighting for her life, was caught off guard by it. If it wasn't for the fact that the roar also stunned the Boggearts for a few seconds, she'd have left herself wide open. Thankfully, both she and the Boggearts attacking her were halted in their movements for those few seconds, allowing her to defend herself again by the time they got right back into the heat of battle. That said, she did look a bit more stressed from the affair.<br>
<br>
After an uncomfortable trip with both Nissa and Kalina continuously eyeing each-other to make sure neither was behind the other, she made the odd decision of fighting alongside the others despite criticising for them for doing so. Nissa's attack against the Plague Boggeart wasn't enough to bring it down, but with its strength drained, she was able to deliver the final blow with a quick second attack. <br>
<br>
Finally, Kalina was going through her options carefully. She agreed with Nissa, as leaving this rabbit to her faith was the easiest solution. However, with the others thinking about it differently, it'd be a bit weird if she didn't join in. Besides, the bunny did look absolutely adorable, Kalina couldn't deny that. However, when she noticed the Alchemist was about to be attack by some Boggearts appearing from the swamp, she was quick to spring to action. Out of all the folk here thus far, she actually started to like him a bit, so it'd be a shame to see him go down so soon. Sadly enough, her first shot missed. Perhaps she'd been too rash in attacking. Either way, the next two did hit their targets perfectly, taking care of two of the four Boggearts rushing at Cayde from behind him.</div>

<span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">Baharius glared at the haughty silver-haired girl attempting to sustain her superiority over the group; nor did he find himself amused by her antics. He didn't budge a muscle even as he felt her poke his bronze chest piece, only throwing a slight snarl revealing his needle-shaped teeth. While she was partially correct in her statements, this also depended on the circumstance at hand. Even if she was calling on a safer bet, her attitude and pitiful insults definitely didn't help resolve or calm the issue. Had it not been for the number of eyes watching him, he might as well punish her with a well-placed bite to the head, or at the very least smacking her away with a well-deserved tail swipe. Thankfully, he continued to keep his cool. After all, he had a reputation to keep; not just as an "ex-general" but also that any unexpected action as a beast could turn the entire wary group against him.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"><b>"Watch that haughty tongue of yours, miss." </b></span></span>he hissed with a snarl of displeasure,<span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"><b> "Otherwise, it's going to get you killed."</b></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">As Nissa wiped her finger on the tree, Baharius glared down and brushed away the poked area before seeing himself off to find any nearby clues. </span></span><br>
<br>
<br>
<hr><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">While Baharius' blood-curdling roar was enough to make his attention known towards the boggart horde, it wasn't enough to disperse their numbers as he suspected. Indeed, while they halted their movements for only a mere moment, they soon resorted back to their ravenous onslaught; with a a great number now heading straight towards the mighty sail-backed Saurian!<br>
<br>
Three of the many boggarts were already closing in on the mighty theropod's position from the front, rushing in with extended claws and gaping maws ready to slash into the great beast's hide. Yet Baharius, his teeth now exposing in a scaly grin, was ready for them...<br>

With the trio coming range, Baharius quickly checked his surroundings for any allies within his general vicinity. Clayde and Nissa were nearby, but they would be safe from what the saurian was about to do next. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Stand back!"</span></b> he announced to them with caution, before he gripped the handle of his blade and issued a mighty <b>Board Dune Swipe</b>, swinging his massive blade around himself in an attempt to slice through the approaching rabble in a circular motion. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">If any of the three still managed to survive the initial strike, Baharius would attempt to <b>defend</b> and block their toxic appendages by utilizing his great sword as a makeshift shield. Even if they got through, his exposed torso and knees would at least be covered by his bronze chest-plate and kneepads respectively. Once regaining his bearings, the saurian pulled his sword hand back before leaping forward to issue a <b>Lunging Pierce</b> at any one of the potentially surviving boggarts. </span></span><br>

Cayde caught their attention, all right. On the other hand, his poison would do little to the creatures, which he groaned at and acknowledged. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><i><b>"Should've seen that coming," </b></i></span>He mumbled to himself. The same thought would repeat as he heard three more boggarts emerge from the swamps beside him. But before he could aim his crossbow, two bolts flew past him, striking two of the monsters dead. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b><i>"Nice shot, Kate!" </i></b></span>Cayde thought, turning to give his fellow crossbowman a wide, thankful smile. Only then would he notice the distance he put between himself and his allies, a tinge of embarrassment flushing his cheeks. Perhaps he was a bit <i>too</i> valiant with his charge. Nonetheless, he'd fix that issue right after attempting to solve the two in front of him.<br>
<br>
Facing the boggarts again, Cayde brought up his crossbow and fired at the one closest to him (Southeast of his icon). Then, while taking a few steps backward, he'd load another broadhead and launch it towards the next boggart (Now four squares ahead of him), hopefully neutralizing them both. Amongst the <i>thwip</i> of the bolts leaving the crossbow, he'd hear the cries of the monsters further on, searing from Scylla's attack. It seemed fire managed to do the trick. He also counted a few more boggarts than before, likely rising from the water as did the others, Cayde assumed. He'd have to share that with the others when he reached them. <br>
<br>
Once he did, he showed his gratitude to Kate first, offering her the same wide smile as before, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Thanks for the assist, Kate. I owe ya one," </b></span>He peeked over his shoulder to spot the two boggarts she killed. A surge of relief washed over him. It felt good knowing another person was watching over him - even if he had no clue who they were. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Actually, make that two. Three, if you save me again." </b></span>He chuckled, turning to address his other allies, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Alright, I think it's best if we steer clear of the water altogether. I'm sure there are more things just waiting to get us if we wade into there. I'll keep an eye out if I spot any trying to flank us." </b></span>He pointed over to Scylla, to the burnt corpses of the boggarts in the mud, and the soggy ones following in their stead, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Fire seems to be a good way to stop them, but if they're soaked like those over there, we'll have to help with our other weapons." </b></span>He nodded, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Claws, swords, bolts, magic, et cetera, et cetera." </b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 15px">Nissa smirked at the creature slumped on the ground dead, though she hadn't expected them to be as tough as they were. She still thought it would have been better to let the rabbit fight the monsters and weaken itself. <i><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">The things these mortals do, I don't understand much more than I understood people in my previous life. However, the people from this world are something different, more akin to sprinting to their deaths. </span></i><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">She thought to herself as she looked down at the corpse in front of her. <br>
<br>
She was interrupted as the giant lizard man roared, which caused everything to stop for a moment before continuing again and he swung his blade around in an attack. </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Are you trying to draw them towards us or something?" </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">Nissa shouted as she the creature lunged forward, making himself a larger target than he had to. </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Maybe don't over-extend yourself in this swamp that will eat living things alive! Hey Rabbit you had better be grateful for this help!" </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">She shouted as she look at the next closest target (diagonally 2 squares above her). She rushed forward as she noticed a green substance on her blade, </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)"><i>blood possibly? I really don't want to taste it. </i></span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">She thought to herself as she closed the gap with the target she grabbed her wand with her free hand. </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Blood needle," </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">She muttered hoping the sound of battle would keep the ability's name hidden. <br>
<br>
If that didn't finish off the creature, she would follow up with Draining strike again in the hopes to finish it off. She wasn't too concerned with the diseases from the creatures since she was already undead. So unless there was some weird disease that would affect the undead she felt like she was safe. <br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">When the enemy is making a false movement we must take good care not to interrupt him.<br>
      - Napoleon Bonaparte<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">Halfwits!</span><br>
<br>
Clarice hisses as she surveils the battlefield with savage, almost saurian eyes.  In her humble opinion, the party's mindless, uncoordinated advance reveals a glaring absence of battlefield experience and survival instinct.  Like shock troops under the command of General Custer, their plan starts and ends with a slapdash charge.  Their flanks are exposed; the enemy could easily wrap around and overpower them with sheer numbers.  Hell, the enemy could mob the frontline fighters and threaten the midline well within ten seconds.  Bereft of compassion for the encircled monster - a monster Cayde must prize considering how high he jumped at the prospect of saving the blasted thing (near over the moon, by Clarice's reckoning) - she feels no obligation to lift a finger on its behalf.  In fact, it would do wonders for the party dynamic if half of the party keeled over dead.  Why?  Because they are constantly at each other's throats and fight as a bunch of individuals, not as a team.  The hopefuls at the Ryken Academy admissions exam had more sense than that!<br>
<br>
Clarice should just abandon them to their fate.  Let them waste their energy on what that white knight of an alchemist unilaterally decided was in the best interest of the party.  The injuries they'd endure would be the well-deserved result of their tactical blunders!  If Athena, Ares, or some other shield-thumping war deity granted her the opportunity, Clarice would relish the chance to punch the alchemist in the kidneys as reprisal for this engagement - which is even dumber as tarrying uselessly until nightfall in the middle of a parasite-infested swamp while wet conditions bleed everyone else dry of sanitary clothing.  Have fun with trench foot; hope you weren't attached to your feet!<br>
<br>
Clarice factors each body, living or dead, embroiled in the skirmish into the cold calculus of war at the heart of her decision-making process.  All are measured.  All are found undeserving of her aid, for they failed to analyze the evidence strewn across the battlefield and draw the right conclusions from it.<br>
<br>
The bunny seems tired.  The bunny seems weak.  Yet if this was a prolonged battle and if the enemy, individually, is so easy to slay, shouldn't bodies be piled around the bunny?  A ploy, perhaps.<br>
<br>
Clarice counts thirty-something monsters - a decidedly large group to randomly stumble across.  Were they roaming freely, they would cause too much of a disturbance to catch someone - particularly someone with heightened senses - unawares.  Therefore, the bunny initiated this battle.  What did the bunny have to gain? If the hag's words ring true, this is part of the bunny's deception.  They're playing right into its hands.<br>
<br>
Note that the bunny, despite invoking Virtus (the divine flavor of the week, Clarice can only assume), wields light magic, not holy magic.  Even at this range, the difference between magical energy and divine energy would be sensible.  It isn't obvious that this power is in any way divine, so the "paladin" might have lost the favor of this god - or never had such favor in the first.<br>
<br>
Between the infighting, the lies, the drug problems (which were connected to the lies), the Scooby-Doo tactics, and the astounding deficiency of common sense, Clarice is done with this group for now.  Let them be duped by the werehare!  She needs to find the item that ties the banshee to the material world before nightfall when it becomes active or a silver bullet.<br>
<br>
[Action 1: Magic Affinity E + Investigation F]  Clarice examines the surrounding environment, searching for clues indicating the location of the rabbit's hovel/origin point or the item anchoring the banshee to the materials plane (presumably a mummified corpse).<br>
<br>
[Action 2: Movement]  Clarice moves in the direction of either the rabbit's hovel/origin point or the banshee's item, circling around the ongoing combat if necessary.<br>
<br>
[Action 3: Readied Action - Kingmaker E]  Clarice raises her gauntlet and prepares to cast [Kingmaker E] on any creature in range that threatens her or otherwise attempts to impede her progress.</div>

Baharius timed his attack well with the three incoming Boggearts, managing to slam through two of them before his sword finally halted a bit into the third. After defending against the third's claws, his lunging pierce was enough to take care it. However, despite yelling to stand back, Nissa had jumped forwards, whilst Cayde remained where he was to fire his crossbow first and only backed-up afterwards. Both would feel the air of the blade's spin on their skins as it was <i>barely missing them</i> when Baharius swung it in a full circle while they were both close-by. They were <i>extremely lucky</i> that the sword hadn't also hit them. It was clear that a bit more team-work was needed, as this type of luck probably wasn't going to hold up for long. <br>
<br>
A well-aimed hit from Cayde's first shot managed to hit something vital inside that Boggeart that made it tumble over and die, although the second hit got stuck into the other Boggeart's arm without killing it. He managed to successfully retreat a few steps, allowing Kalina to take out the second Boggeart before the creature could make it over to him. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Three's the charm.”</b></span> She couldn't help adding, after Cayde's earlier words. On the topic of tree; that was also the amount of Boggearts from further north that made their way into the part of the swamp where their comrades had fallen and would likely be able to make their way over to Baharius or Cayde/Kalina on soon, if they weren't intercepted first. <br>
<br>
Nissa, meanwhile, was playing quite a dangerous game. Despite reprimanding Baharius about overextending, she jumped forwards and further away from the group, to where she'd be most susceptible to being swarmed by these Boggearts. Her Blood Needle attack against it landed just as it turned around to focus on the new foe, instantly bringing it to the brink of death. Whilst the needles themselves didn't harm it much, the sheer amount of them made up for. That said, she realised she wasn't able to land a [Draining Strike] (F-grade abilities have a 0 Post Cooldown, meaning there's only one per post). Instead, she finished the creature off with a normal stab with her longsword. The victory, however, was short-last as she'd drawn in the attention from quite a few Boggearts. One (directly above her) was about to strike her with its claws. Another group (the ones to her left) had split into two, with three (furthest to the left) of them heading for Scylla whilst another two (to Nissa's north-west) were heading for Nissa. With the bunny paladin luckily covering Nissa's back somewhat, she wouldn't be surrounded, but she'd have to figure out how to prevent being rushed by the three Boggearts coming at her, of which one (as stated earlier) was already attacking.<br>
<br>
On the topic of the Bunny Paladin, she didn't get a moment to reply to Nissa, as the Boggearts had successfully started to surrounded her. In a desperate attempt to break free, she brought her hammer down upon a Boggeart behind her and between her and Nissa. After that, she back up to Nissa and replied. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“Don't let them surround us, or we're both dead!”</b></span> There was clearly some panic and tiredness in her voice, but not a whole lot. Whilst she might not be able to win on her own, there was clearly still a fair bit of fight left in her. Enough to last for a while for as long as her back wouldn't be exposed to more Boggearts.<br>
<br>
Clarice, meanwhile, took a few steps back to look at the scene unfold. As Clarice started to pay attention to the bodies, she noticed that the slain plague Boggearts were barely noticeable among the swamp ground. Their odd bodies almost seemed to become one with the soil after dying. The latter made it difficult to estimate how long the fight had lasted before they'd arrived, but if one combined the amount of Boggearts there were and how many more showed up short after their arrival, it was safe to assume it hadn't been long. Otherwise the bunny would've been entirely overwhelmed. They likely arrived short after the battle broke out, with the bunny merely being tired from trying to stay alive against the overwhelming odds and not as much from the long time she'd been battling them.<br>
<br>
Thanks to having E magic, Clarice would be able to navigate the swamps just well enough to start moving about on her own. However, she couldn't find any sign of a burrow or ties that might bind the banshee in the immediate vicinity. She'd have to carefully consider if she was brave enough to wander off further from the group on her own or if she wanted to stay close enough to run back to them were she to be attacked by something. She did, however, find something else as she was stumbling around. A corpse of a humanoid skeleton, mostly rotten away, partially sunken into the swamp water. Even with most their flesh rotten off, it was clear by the scratch marks on their armour and bones that they'd likely been a victim of plague Boggearts. The armour, what remained of it at least, was oddly similar to that of the Paladin Bunny.</div>

<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1660780896277-png.1013397/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/950/950527-cb1c386a8cbfae7ed1289952dbff9697.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1660780896277.png" title="1660780896277.png" width="100" height="114" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Kesh must have been really out of it, the next thing she knew they were in the middle of a fight, Kesh's eyes widen as she shook her head, holding her head then rubbing her frizzled and possibly dirty hair, despite it looking clean. Well. Somewhat, she didn't look clean at all, luckily the swamps were covering her scent otherwise she would most likely smell like a large rat that hadn't showered in many days. Looking over the field, Kesh saw these strange little boggarts that have popped up and a- <i><b>GASP </b></i>a cute little bunny knight! Kesh wanted to meet the little guy! They seemed fun and cute, Kesh knew what she had to do, she raised her hand that had her family's ring on it, she gave a smile and whispered, "<b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"> Get me through these weird little creatures, I need to <i>Conceal-Hide Away!</i> </span></b>" Kesh's voice rang out in an echo as her ring lit up with a strange magic.<br>
<br>
As Kesh disappeared from sight, she had a little giggle like a child and quickly ran through the swamp, using her acrobatics to flip over Chandra (Kalina), Kesh would say, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Hi, weird-strange lady! <i>hehehehehehe!</i></span></b> " Kesh's voice whispered while in the air in a weird giddy fashion like a child trying to not to laugh, despite being hidden from sight. As Kesh landed on her feet, she continued on her way and ran pass Cayde then Scylla, Scylla would feel a hand rummage through her pocket quickly for a split second but there was nothing there. Kesh continued her way when she didn't get anything and saw the incoming boggarts, Kesh moved pass one then a group of two before getting behind the farthest boggart. Kesh wasn't exactly sure what she could do, she wasn't much for to fight as she was pretty untrained, but she was an evasive rat and what did that contribute? Nothing really, she just liked to be weird. Kesh wasn't a complex rat, for her it is drugs, gold-money, alchemy, sleep, more drugs, coming up with great ideas that she would forget later on, then one more drug. <br>
<br>
Now that Kesh's schedule was depicted, she made it to the farthest boggart, Kesh stopped and began to think of what to really do. Kesh didn't like fighting and wasn't sure how to attack the boggart, she knew she needed to help the group out, she wanted to be useful for once. Kesh knew she was sometimes annoying and crazy, but the rat wanted to actually help. Kesh knew what she could do! Blind one of them! " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"><i>Sneaky Kesh attack! </i></span></b>" Kesh whispered to herself as she brought back her arm and was ready to use her claws (F). The Ratkin then swiped her claws in an arc at the Boggart's face, aiming for its eyes to try and blind it. Kesh's heart began racing, she didn't like hurting another creature, she knew what it was like to be hurt. Kesh knew this was the only way to do this, she had to help the group. Especially Cayde, he's been caring for her since they met, even claiming to know her when he did not, even after stealing from him Cayde defended the Ratkin. Kesh felt incredibly bad as he was out there taking on these boggarts and she was in the back being useless. Kesh had to step up, and if hindering one Boggart helped with that, that she would be happy with that. Kesh was content with what she was going to do now. Time to blind a weird creature! <br>
<br>

<li data-xf-list-type="ul"><b><i>Conceal-Hide Away</i>! - E - Magic Affinity E, Undetected F, Magic Duration F:</b> Kesh uses her abilities to hide away from both people's sight and having the ability to suppress her sound as well. This effect lasts for 1 minute. (1 Post Cooldown)</li>

<br>
<br>
<br>
Realizing she was daydreaming of Renee, and of being back home in her cozy bed Scylla  snapped out of her trance. Again. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Hm? what?” </span>She said confused as she realized what was happening.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“AHA!! I GOTCHA-!” </span>she exclaimed as the Boggearts withered in burning flames. Then quckly frowned when she realized two arrows had missed, pulling her hat down over her ears, she hopped with frustration. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“No no NO! I was too hasty!”</span> Then noticing the new Boggearts spawn, drenched in water and likely more resistant to fire she stuck out her tongue at them in defiance. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Blegh!"</span> It seemed she daydreamed longer than usual as now three of those boggearts were coming towards her menacingly.<br>
<br>
She looked over her right shoulder at the others making their attacks then suddenly covered her ears as the lizard man roared loudly.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “WHAA!! Hey!!! Whats the big idea?!”</span> she exclaimed, her voice raised a few pitches, but quickly brought her hands over mouth when Scylla realized Baharius had attracted the monsters attention away from her.<br>
<br>
<i>Hmmm not bad? Did he mean to do that? </i>She wondered, however this gave Scylla an opportunity to cast a bit more freely. Knowing this, she’d move a bit closer  behind Baharius, <i>(2 squares right, 1 square up).</i> Standing far away enough for Baharius to move freely as well.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Okay, sir-lizard-roaring-knight, theres three over there that are coming after me.”</span> If the giant dino looked over his shoulder he’d see Scylla give him a cheerful thumbs up.<span style="color: #9365b8"> “I really hate to ask, but I think my magic isn't working right due to my sugar rush.." </span><span style="color: rgb(239, 239, 239)">Smiling </span><span style="color: #efefef">nervously at the giant lizard creature, </span><span style="color: #9365b8">"..if we can clear up this left bog, we could finish the rest of them off together. What do you say?" </span><br>
<br>
Overhearing Nissa’s attitude and rude-ish comments, Scylla looked over to her with a frown, muttering under her breath. <span style="color: #9365b8">“Goodness, and here I thought Clarice was moody.” </span>Although <span style="color: #efefef">the witch was actually quite impressed by with making such apparent easy work of the Boggearts.</span> <i>Likely some kind of weird vampiric magic. </i><br>
<br>
By the way. <i>Where was Clarice? </i><br>
<br>
As the witch looked around for her trusty Academy colleague, the plague doctor pointed at her, at first feeling accused<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “I-it wasn’t me i swe-“ </span>She then listened intently at his observations before nodding.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Very well, you handle the ones coming out of the swamp over there..” </span>she pointed,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..and ill take care of those in the water to my left then.. i guess this means you’re in charge now..” </span>she said with a beaming smile.<span style="color: #9365b8"> “..thank you for volunteering for the leader position! I wont let you down, doctor.. I mean.. Doc!”</span> Scylla giggled.<br>

Before she could begin her incantation however, the witch felt a gropey hand in her back pockets. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“EEEEEKK!!!” </span>She shrieked, as she jumped and turned quickly to face what had done such a pervy act. Looking at whoever was behind her, it couldnt have been Clarice, she was too far, ‘Kate’ was busy with her crossbow, so that had to be, Cayde.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “HEY YOU!”</span> She said with an accusing finger, holding her hat by the brim, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Take me on a date FIRST you pervert!!” </span>The groaning and hissing of the Boggearts quickly made her turn to face the danger before them however, but not before muttering under her breath shaking her head.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “I hate Cupid and his stupid little arrows.” </span><br>
<br>
It appeared that fire was fairly effective, especially when it came to the Boggearts that weren’t freshly spawned out of the swamp water, taking Caydes advice, she decided to repeat the same spell. Scyllas staff would levitate harnessing the fiery spell, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"With a bang and a BOOM!” </span>Sparks suddenly erupted from Scylla's staff, sending five fiery arrows towards their respective targets in the bog.<br>

</b> (Clayde)<br>​</div><hr><br>
Baharius would hit his marks; slaying the three boggarts in a swift and effective maneuver. However, he seemed to have underestimated his overall reach and nearly knicked both Nissa and Clayde in the process. He had to be more aware of his surroundings next time, although frankly he would've have cared if he knocked the silver-haired woman down a few pegs. He felt she at least needed that.<br>
<br>
As he was about to move towards the horde closing in on the rabbit paladin, he'd notice Scylla coming close behind her. She was indeed wise to keep a fair amount of distance from the Saurian's bulk, but she had an urgent request - to slay the three boggarts heading straight towards her as she tries to get ahold of her magic powers. If they could clear out their left flank, they could finish the rest off together. Baharius turned his reptilian head to see the cheerful "witch" giving him a thumbs up, answering her with a confirming nod.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Very well."</span></b> the beast acknowledged, as he shifted his weight and <b>stomped towards</b> the three incoming creatures<b>*</b>. Just as the closest boggart was within Scylla's striking range, Baharius roared as he struck the creature with another <b>Lunging Pierce</b>. Yet two more were rapidly closing in on his location. Acting fast, the saurian gripped both hands on the blade's handle and reared his blade upwards towards one of the beasts with a<b> Lifting Cleave,</b> as scrum water and thick mud splattered off from where the sword scrapped the bottom of the bog.<br>

Cayde muttered a quick <i>gotcha</i> as the first bolt hit right on target. Unfortunately, the second was not as deadly, though Kate quickly rectified that, all thanks to her sharpshooting. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Hey, thanks again, Kate!" </b></span>Cayde waved to her in gratitude, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I guess I gotta even it out now, huh?" </span></b>He said with a chuckle before returning his attention to the battlefield. Kate was starting to grow on him, and Cayde was all for it. Any attempt to break that veil of suspicion between them was a welcome one. Perhaps a little competition would do the trick, he wondered, a slight smile creeping onto his face. There'd be no way of knowing until he tried.<br>
<br>
The boggarts seemed to be on board, several more starting their move over on his side. Thankfully, they hadn't sprung out of the mud, but Cayde noticed they were funneling out of a landmass further right side. His eyes flashed open, a new idea forming in his head. He turned to Kate, the same sly smile plastered on his face, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Hey, Kate, look over there," </b></span>He said, pointing past the incoming boggarts and towards the small islet in the distance, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Those Boggarts are making a chokepoint. Maybe if we move to different angles, we can get 'em' before they come too close, cover our allies' flanks, y'know?"</span></b> His tone and face indicated a <i>but</i> was coming, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"<i>But,</i> who cares about all this tactical talk? How about a little game between strangers?</span></b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"</b></span> He offered, scratching at his chin, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Whoever slays the most boggarts gets..." </b></span>Cayde couldn't think of a worthwhile prize outside one of his potions. He doubted she'd be interested in a botanical encyclopedia either,  <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Uh, we'll agree to something later, yeah?" </b></span><br>
<br>
Before taking his position, Cayde nodded tentatively to Scylla's proposal. While he had no problem with her strategy, his sudden promotion to a leader startled him. He never thought of himself as a leader in any capacity. That title was reserved for only the most responsible, the most nurturing, the ones who could <i>create </i>other leaders. That's what a  good leader does, he thought. He couldn't do any of that. Ceylan could if he was here. Cayde wondered what he was doing now...<br>
<br>
Then, Scylla called him a pervert. Cayde's brain short-circuited, every thought turning into incomprehensible mush. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Pervert? WHAT?!" </b></span>Cayde raised his hands so fast he almost dropped his crossbow, his face contorting into sheer horror. Being labeled as a leader was mortifying enough, but now this? If Zane even caught a whiff of this back in Ryken, he'd <i>murder</i> him. Or he'd pay Kesh to do it. Both were as likely as they were terrifying. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"N-no, no, I was shooting at the monsters!" </b></span>Cayde stammered, gesturing to Kate as if to say, '<i>you saw me, right?' <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"</b></span></i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>It was probably someone else! It was probably..." </b></span>Cayde paused. He knew <i>exactly</i> who would run through someone's pockets. He turned on his heels to point right at them,  <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"No, it was DEFINETLY-" </b></span>Kesh wasn't behind him. Cayde's blood ran cold. <br>
<br>
That was a good enough reminder for him to stop talking and move. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Look, we'll discuss this later too. Let's just get a better sight-line on these guys, okay? You'll get a good one if you move up to your right." </b></span>He said to Kate quickly before darting to his position<b> (2 squares up, 3 right),</b> loading another bolt along the way. Once he reached there, he fired at the Boggeart diagonally of him, using <b>[Vital Shot]</b>. He'd hit something important the last time, so he aimed at a similar target, hoping this time would be no different. <br>
<br>
As the bolt left his crossbow, Cayde began to scan his surroundings. Much to his dismay, he still couldn't spot Kesh, but he saw Lyse in the distance, waging her war against the boggarts alone. Of course, he should've expected as much. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Lyse, looks like you need a little help over there. Am I right?" </span></b>He asked, counting the monsters in front of her. Cayde wasn't expecting to hear a <i>yes, </i>but he wouldn't care. She was a part of the team, he'd help her regardless.<br>

<br>
Kesh saw a crossbow aimed vaguely in her direction as she suddenly flipped over Kalina and spoke up, but the trigger wasn't pulled. Being [undetected] in both sight and sound at a greater grade than Kalina's senses, the vampire couldn't hear what the rat was saying and could only vaguely get a grasp of what'd just occurred from the scent and displacement of air passing over her. As Kesh travelled onwards through the swamp water, after harassing Scylla, she'd realise that the displacement of mud and water was quick to reveal her position. Luckily enough, the Boggearts didn't seem intelligent enough to notice it, at least not for now. That said, it'd probably be good to keep in mind to avoid such places in case they were to pick up on it later or in case she were to go up against a more intelligent foe at one point or another. Kesh's claws, coming out of nowhere, managed to strike true as the Boggeart's eyes got ripped out of its head. Its gaping maw attempted to immediately bite whatever was in front of it, only to be incapable of spotting it thanks to Kesh's undetected and its own clawed-out eyes. Confused, the Boggeart just started to wildly slash its claws in the air, hoping to hit Kesh by sheer luck and viciousness. It'd probably take one more well-aimed hit to bring down.<br>
<br>
Scylla decided to get right behind Baharius in order to sent him after the Boggearts most likely to have a bit more resistance against her own fire attacks. The latter was quick to charge in by stomping towards them (<i>OOC; considering he's going along with Scylla, I'm assuming he's going three left and one up, as three right one up means he'd be cutting down a tree</i>), being lucky not to run into Kesh as she was crossing paths with him whilst undetected. Baharius met the Boggearts just as they were about to get out of the swamp, where his first Lunging Pierce made quick work of the one closest to him. However, he wasn't able to follow it up by a Lifting Cleave. (<i>OOC; considering there's no limit on how many abilities one can make, cooldowns in IH are based on ability grades, not specific abilities. E grade abilities are still on the one post cooldown this post after last post's usage of Broad Dune Swipe</i>). Instead, he'd be able to strike it with a normal sword-slash, which didn't kill the creature, but did halt it in its tracks and severely wounded it. The latter was enough for one of Scylla's five fire bolts to finish it off. Although these Boggearts, thanks to being wet with swamp water, were a little bit more resistance to the fire, the remaining four bolts still managed to take out the two Boggearts flanking Baharius. In the end, only one lone Boggeart remained on their side. That said, being the low-intelligent creatures that they were, it still came rushing at Baharius with a lot of fury.<br>
<br>
Cayde, deciding to get competitive, got a chuckle out of Kalina. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“You're on.”</b></span> She said, already loading another crossbow-bolt. Oddly enough, in their little competition, she got some help from Scylla yelling out and distracting Cayde. As he was raising his hands, Kalina had already made it to her vantage point where she laid aim and hit the first Boggeart with a lethal hit. As she was aiming her second attack, so did Cayde. The Vital Shot failed to leave a lingering, stabbing pain, as the Boggeart died upon impact, having hit with enough force to take it out instantly. Kalina's shot hit true as well, upon which she displayed a bit of a smile. Thanks to some unexpected help from Kesh and Scylla distracting Cayde, she was in the lead with this little game of theirs.<br>
<br>
Further up, Nissa found herself in deep trouble. Although Kesh was able to hold back one of the three Boggearts and the Paladin Bunny covered the other side, she still had two Boggearts to deal with. Although she'd be able to defend against one of them, the second was able to scratch her with its nasty claws. Thankfully, her undead nature and slightly higher vitality meant the poisons and diseases didn't immediately wreck her body through these relatively shallow wounds, but she'd still feel it burn and itch in a very unpleasant manner. Nissa obtained F Grade claw wounds. (<i>OOC: If your character is in active combat, not posting doesn't mean you're safe, so if you need an extension, ask for it and I might give another 24 hours. If I don't hear anything, I'll default to a character trying to defend for the turn.</i>)<br>
<br>
A little besides Nissa, the Paladin Bunny finally got overwhelmed by the Boggearts. A slash here, a slash there... Slowly, yet steadily, the toxins, poisons and diseases started to enter her bloodstream. With some light magic and her hammer to defend herself with, she was able to keep herself afoot, but it was clear that things were taking a turn for the worst. With Nissa having to defend herself, the Boggearts were getting very close to fully surrounding the now wounded bunny. Whilst she somehow managed to remain composed through-out it, it was clear she was in pain and that she might end up being overwhelmed by these Boggearts sooner rather than later. What was worse, she wasn't able to take down a single one of these Boggearts, instead needing to focus all her energy on defending herself and trying to stay alive.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">What do we have here?  A skeleton, eh?  Clarice could conduct a full postmortem, but what does she stand to gain from such an extravagance?  Nothing to justify the time expenditure, surely; it’s much more sensible to run through the basics and call it a day.  Let’s start by determining whether the victim was male or female and proceed from there.<br>
<br>
<b>[Action 1 - Investigate]</b>  Clarice quickly scan’s the skeleton’s pelvis. Then, she transitions to the skeleton’s teeth and the shape of its skull to narrow down the victim’s species.  While a more thorough postmortem might establish the victim’s species and identity, Clarice seeks to answer a single question: is this the corpse of a human, a fae, or a beastfolk?<br>
<br>
Clarice doesn’t need to disturb the remains to gather data on any other topic of interest.  She is keenly aware of the rapidity of decay from the fetid gases such processes produce.  She would guess that the victim perished less than a month ago given the extent of skeletonization and rust/scale buildup.  While her knowledge of Plague Boggarts is minimal to nonexistent (why study the ecology of pathetic swamp gremlins when you can study the ecology of devils, demons, negative energy beings, and dragons), she properly links the scratch marks covering the bones and armor fragments to the little pests, but she does not conclude that this is the cause of death.  Working backward from the assumption that this area is a Plague Boggart nesting ground, the victim wouldn’t have just carelessly wandered in.  Even if the victim was bumbling about, the Plague Boggarts could not have ambushed the victim at this location as there are no sizable bodies of murky water in close proximity.  The orientation of the corpse might furnish more insights - unless it was dragged here.  The more enticing possibility is that the victim was fleeing - possibly already weakened and wounded - from another entity when it bumped into these pests.  This would explain why Clarice discovered no hard-wearing, ruggedized supplies nearby.  The victim could have shed the extra weight in its haste.  And speaking of lost tools, where is its sword?<br>
<br>
Fascinating.  Morbid, to be sure, but a mystery if ever there was one.<br>
<br>
Here’s the rub: this investigation proves Cayde’s assumption is flawed at best and racist at worst.  Anyone with two brain cells to rub together (which necessarily excludes some of her party members, she thinks) would realize that an order of errant paladins is commissioning members to embark on perilous quests in this swamp.  It’s exactly the sort of buffoonery Clarice would expect from such a lunkheaded organization.  At the very least, anyone who insists the bunny paladin has the favor of the swamp and has lived in the swamp for a few hundred years needs their head checked by a medical professional.  Clarice can’t exactly rule out that this is all a ruse, but if it isn’t, this is hands-down the lamest were-critter that ever existed.  Clarice has found more impressive were-critters in the stuffed animals section at the toy store.  Scylla’s penchant for brewing explosive potions - including healing potions (may Mr. Primpaws, test hamster extraordinaire, Rest In Peace) - is more alarming than that exhausted bunny.<br>
<br>
…<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">Why do I even bother with that girl?</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">Clarice asks no one in particular.  Scylla is trouble with a capital “T.”  She doesn’t treat anything seriously, and people pay a premium for her carelessness.  Take the “perfected” invisibility potion she brought up for the umpteenth time.  Not only did it  stain everyone’s clothes, it ruined Clarice’s notes - the notes she needed to study for the midterm at the end of that week.  She “earned” a B - <i>a B - </i>on that exam because she didn’t have time to transcribe a new set of notes, write three midterm papers, shop for new clothes, keep up in her other classes, and work her side-job to afford luxuries like food that wasn’t cooked by the disgusting cafeteria goblin that spit in everything “to enhance the flavor” and purchase supplies that the academy didn’t have a hand in creating so she didn’t have to worry about her notebook animating, eloping with her ink pot, and finally being stabbed to death by her quill in a crime of passion!  The cake was a sweet gesture, but it isn’t a substitute for attentiveness!  Ugh!  If she had partnered with Rugalione von Kluge III, she’d be at the beach living the good life right now, not wading through ankle-high muck in a sodding swamp in service of a hag Scylla traded them to in exchange for an ingredient for a mixed drink.  Yes, that’s right, an ingredient for a friggin’ mixed drink.</span><br>
<br>
No grade or mixed drink is worth suffering the company of these weirdos and wastrels.  Posthumously receiving high marks just ain’t the honor it’s cracked up to be, and the longer this lot is together, the worse their chances of survival become.  She might fare better on her own - where the mistakes and dysfunctions of others can’t hinder her.  If that corpse had a serviceable sword, she would take it and leave in a heartbeat.  Maybe then Scylla would realize that her actions have consequences.  It’s not like she could really influence the outcome of the battle anyway.<br>
<br>
Clarice prepares to venture into the unknown.  She steels her will, checks the fuel in her lamp, and is about to step off when Scylla’s yelp pulls her back.<br>
<br>
<b>[Action 2 - Movement]</b>  With urgency, Clarice pivots and dashes toward the battlefield.<br>
<br>
Whatever startled Scylla must have fallen, for Clarice spots no adjacent hostiles as she approaches.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">You’re infuriating, you know that?  Stop pretending this is a game; if the paladin dies, all this was wasted effort!</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null"><b>[Action 3 - Movement]</b>  Clarice charges toward the paladin, ignoring Baharius cutting down swaths of enemies with the ease of a thresher reaping crops.  So too does she pay no heed to Cayde and Nissan’s competition, Chandra’s sharpshooting, or Kesh’s roguish talents.<br>
<br>
Cerulean light shears through the shadows swirling in Clarice’s eyes as she levels the Aspect of the Sapphire Dragon at two of the Plague Boggarts encircling the paladin.  Imperiously, and with a dazzling flourish, she prepares to bind them to her will.<br>
<br>
Noting the paladin’s wounds, Clarice calls to Scylla over her shoulder.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">Scylla, I’ll have need of your skills momentarily, for I suspect that this is just another hapless soul questing for honor and glory in these godless fens.  I found the corpse of one of its comrades-in-arms half-buried in the mud in the underbrush, so this isn’t an isolated incident - their order, much like our academy, is sending them to die out here for some reason.  Don’t heal it until we assess the threat it poses or it takes a sudden turn for the worse.  Until then -</span><br>
<br>
Clarice slams a gauntlet-clad fist into her bullseye lantern and deposits ordinary sewing needles, small buttons, and other assorted materials into the hot oil beyond the shattering glass.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">I need to blow off some steam.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">((Updated to account for “magic users can’t move on turns in which they cast spells” rule.  Please note, however, that Telekinesis is a Mental Skill, not a Magic Skill.  Thus, different rules may apply.))</span></div>

 </b>(Clarice)<br>​</div><hr><br>
Baharius made quick work of the first boggeart he lunged at, slicing through him like a hot knife through butter. Twirling around, he didn't have enough movement to go through with his original attack and instead turned to simply strike the next creature with a normal swipe, severely wounding it. While he wasn't able to properly kill the creature, Scylla's fire bolts managed to not only finish the wounded thing off but also take care of two other boggearts that had flanked the saurian.  Baharius cocked his head back and gave an affirming nod. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Nice shot."</span></b> he praised the young witch.<br>
<br>
But there was still one more boggeart still standing amiss the carnage of its fallen brethren. With a gurgling shriek, it runs towards Baharius with its ravenous fury, ready to sink his claws into his scaly flesh. The saurian was well-aware of its present and proceeded to<b><i> finish the miserable creature off</i></b>, raising his great sword over his head and with a snarling exhale plunged it straight down its middle. With the immediate threat now out of the way, he took a short moment to gather his breath.<br>
<br>
Now it was back to helping the paladin, now more of a crucial task than ever before. Six boggearts were now beginning to surround and wittle down the poor bunny's stamina, nearing the cusp of victory. He saw Clarice attempting to break through enemy lines and rescue the paladin, however even he doubted how well she would fair against the whole group. With a guttural growl, Baharius <b><i>charged </i></b>at the 3 lowest creatures at full speed*, attempting to push them away from the bunny's position by using both his sword and sheer bulk as a make shift shield and ram. Once separating them, the saurian issued a powerful <b><i>sideways slash</i></b> towards at least two of the creatures; maybe nicking the third if he was lucky.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-family: 'courier new'"><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"><span style="font-size: 26px">Kesh</span></span></span><br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1661380866446-png.1015490/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/952/952620-cb1c386a8cbfae7ed1289952dbff9697.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1661380866446.png" title="1661380866446.png" width="100" height="114" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
As Kesh had swiped the strange creature of its eyes, she stared at her hand as it dripped with eye slime. She almost vomited as she flicked her hand of it, she could smell it. It smelled like hot slime stuck in a mushroom cap. But then seeing the boggart's reaction to being blinded scared Kesh a little, seeing the consequences of her actions, she tore a living creature's eyes from its head and now it was fighting for its life, this was what nature was? Killing and surviving? No wonder why the Ratkin stayed underground, they were safer below. But now she had blinded this creature, she would put it down, finish the job. Kesh gulped deeply and waited for an opening, she remembered that this was for this group, she was aiming to protect them, especially Cayde. Kesh saw her opening with it flailing around wildly, Kesh stabbed her claw forward into the eyes again before pulling out quickly. She was going to vomit and needed to move on. Whether it killed it or didn't really didn't matter to the Ratkin as she moved on, the rabbit was in trouble. <br>
<br>
Kesh ran on next through the swamps, seeing there was a whole bunch of these weirdos surrounding the bunny, Kesh hopped up, doing a side flip as she landed on the head of the boggart and remembered why she was doing. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">FOR CLYDE!</span></b> " She cried out and ran her claws over the creature's eyes, trying to blind it as she hopped off trying to get away from its frenzy, just like last time! Kesh was rather disgusted with the slime or blood on her claws, it smelled terrible.</div>

Cayde didn't need to wait for Nissa's answer to know she needed some help. The two boggarts encroaching on her were a good enough indicator, as were the nasty-looking wounds left after their attack. A grimace forming on his face, Cayde knew he and Kesh would have to treat those later. He did not look forward to the scene that'd cause. Regardless, he had already turned to sprint in her direction, but before he did, he spotted one more boggart in the distance, approaching from behind the two Kate had slain. That only made his grimace grow even more pained. Kate was winning - now he <i>really</i> had to start thinking about that prize. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"I'll let you have that one for free," </b></span>Cayde called out to her, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Lyse needs help, and I intend on getting there before the insults start." </b></span><br>
<br>
After waiting for Baharius' charge to reach the monsters north of him, Cayde would make his move behind Nissa, loading another bolt along the way (<b>two squares up, two left). <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I've got you, Lyse!" </span></b>He'd announce as he brought up his crossbow, shooting at the boggart diagonally of him. He took care not to shoot her on accident, lest he had to treat another injury—namely, his ruptured eardrums from the verbal lashing that'd surely follow. <br>
<br>
In the downtime, Cayde would load another bolt into his crossbow. However, before he could draw for another shot, he heard someone call his name - or at least one of his names. The same one he'd gotten (though he still hadn't a clue why) from a certain crazy rat-lady—the rat-lady, who he now saw clawing at a Boggart's eyes. Cayde gasped so hard he swore his lungs almost collapsed, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Kesh! There you are!" </b></span>For once in these swamps, he felt genuinely relieved. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Give me a warning next time, please? Almost gave me a dang heart attack!" </b></span>He anxiously gripped his crossbow tighter, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Hold on, I'm on my way!" </b></span></div>

<br>
Glancing back at Cayde whislt channeling her spell she remarked,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “MHM! you heard me, you little air head!”.</span> Turning back to face the boggearts the witch took careful concentrated aim before releasing the elemental fire arrows. Scylla then turned around quckly noticing Cayde flailing about for an explanation. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Fine. Lets deal with this first.” </span>she said then rolling her eyes at his suggestions to move forward.<br>
<br>
When Scylla turned ot face where her fire darts had landed her eyes lit up.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“HA! IT WORKED!”</span> She exclaimed before quickly collecting herself,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Ahem, i mean.. i knew it would work.” </span>When Baharius turned to give her a compliment she shyly nodded and kicked the ground a bit. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Heh, thanks! You as well sir-roaring-dragon-knight.”</span> However, very shortly after that the witch spotted Clarice darting towards her.<br>
<br>
Scylla waved at her happily,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Welcome back Clarice! Such great timing! You see that guy over there? He totally did the most unspeakable-”</span> But before the witch could continue with her accusation, she noticed Clarice was very displeased. For just a moment her words appeared to have effect, as the witch seemed to become overwhelmed with shame and sadness. But not before Clarice mentioned the word ‘game’. Which then she returned to her usual happy self.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Wait. You’re telling me this<i> ISN’T </i>a game?”</span> she asked with a high pitched voice.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Oh, dont worry, we will most definately save that adorable little bunny! i mean, look how cute she is!”</span> She pointed at the exhilarated paladin bunny,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Aw, she’s in trouble. But she wont<i><span style="font-size: 18px"> die</span></i>, thats just so dark-.”</span> Shaking her head with disbelief. And once again before she could continue, Clarice darted towards the bunny paladin.<br>
<br>
Upon seeing Nissa get hurt, her tone changed drastically, the witch then darted behind Clarice, <i>(1. Move, 1 square Right, 2 squares up) </i>Keeping her distance Scylla gasped,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Sweet wise dragon, Niv-Mizzet!” </span>However it seemed the wounds were fairly superficial, and it would take some time for any poisons to course through her body, that is if her anatomy worked just like that of a <i>LIVING </i>human. The bunny seemed to be getting the worst of it, as she did her best to fend off the fiends currently laying siege to her soft furry body.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Gee, i really dont like using this kind of magic, anymore.”</span> She muttered with a frown, but decided it was the best spell. And she also hoped it wouldn’t freak anyone out.<br>
<br>
Closing her eyes, and focusing her magical affinity she could feel the restless undead spirits on tap within this haunted swamp. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Come forth.” </span>She muttered, before a mage’s circle illuminated on the ground beneath her feet. Specters began to rise from the circle as more rose to vortex around the witch, groaning with restless vengeance. Her staff began to levitate once again before her, as the crescent moon on her staff glowed an eerie black hue. When she opened her eyes, she raised her staff up high, the five specters swiftly searching for the Boggearts nearest to the Bunny Paladin.<br>
<br>
She listened to Clarices suggestions, and although she didn't agree she felt she had been breaking her rules and irritating her quite a bit by now. Besides, no one knew what they were dealing with, exactly. Although, her heart did ache in face of the bunny paladins pain.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Uhm, okay Clarice. But if she gets worse I <i>will </i>do something about it. Poor thing."</span><br>

<span style="font-size: 15px">Nissa dispite the fact that Nissa's clothing looked rather like it was very much heavy armor and the fact that the creatures had cut through it bothered her as she gritted her teeth and felt the stinging and itchiness that came alongside it. She clicked her tongue, <span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Okay you stupid plagued tree you dare attempt to spread your vile disease to me?" </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">Nissa spoke as she when counter-attacked with a normal slash as she attempted to cut the legs of the creature. That was when the giant lizard man charged through a group of creatures. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Hey dino man! Are you trying to become a plague-ridden lizard that has no scales or are you just trying to put yourself in the middle of all of them?" </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">Nissa called out before returning her attention once again to the foes that were in front of her. </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)"><i>Great now I will have to sew myself up or find someone to close this wound or something. Stupid creatures these people are idiots we should have just left the bunny to die and then that would have solved our problem. </i></span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">She thought to herself. <br>
<br>
She then heard Cayde to which she didn't even look back. </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Excuse me!? What did you just say about me? You know what, you are making this whole job so much harder. We should have gone with my idea. Actually, you know what, the dino man over there had more brains than you do!" </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">Nissa argued as she ground her teeth together, rather annoyed before she continued. </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Also, did it look like I needed help! I'm perfectly fine!" </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">She then used a draining strike on the creature she had swung at earlier in the hopes of bringing the creature down. </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Oh did I mention your mother was a hampster and your father was a roach?" </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">She inquired before rolling her eyes. </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)"><i>Once that bunny lets its guard down, I am going to run my sword through her, if the hag wants them gone then so be it. </i></span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">She thought to herself. </span></span><br>

<br>
Doing a full post-mortem was a bit outside of Clarice's abilities even if she thought she'd be able to do it, but she was smart enough to keep it to the basics. Scanning the pelvis was impossible, as it was buried deep into the swamp's mud and water. Only the upper torso and part of the arms were visible. She'd have to start pulling and digging it out first. The shape of its skull was a lot more telling, as it was difficult not to notice the horns attached to it. Some beast species, perhaps Minotaur or something very similar to it. The size of the horns suggested it might have been male, if they were like regular cattle, but she didn't know enough about their species to be certain. The missing sword could be a mystery, or it could've just fallen and sunken into the mud somewhere. Both were equally likely. Spending both her next actions fully on moving, she was able make it back to the battle-ground, but she'd need a moment to catch her breath from running through the swampy mushy ground before being able to cast her magic.<br>
<br>
Baharius was indeed capable of finishing of the final Boggeart with a single well-times hit this time around, after which he moved to try attacking some of the Boggearts that were trying to surround the Paladin Bunny. His slash managed to kill the first one, but only wounded the second, as it's companion's corpse was shielding it from some of the blow. It didn't connect with the third one, as it jumped backwards upon seeing what happened to its companions. Underneath all the layers of fury and rage was at least a hint of self-preservation, it seemed.<br>
<br>
Kesh managed to finish off the Boggeart she challenged. As her claws were stabbed at the eyes during one of the few moments it wasn't actively trying to swing its own claws, she could hear some cracking as her claws made it through the now empty eye sockets and into something further back, feeling some mushy gross stuff around her fist. The creature instantly stopped moving and kind-off hang lifelessly from her arm, with her hand and claw buried into its skull. She then shook it off to show off her acrobatics on her way to the next Boggeart. It was considerably more difficult to strike at its eyes from behind it, but whether it was luck or wisdom, her claw managed to make its way into another eye socket. Whilst it didn't bring down the Boggeart, it turned around in pain and tried to locate Kesh in its confusion, although she was still Undetected, meaning its remaining eyes were scanning the air without figuring out what was going on.<br>
<br>
Whilst Cayde's bluffing of giving out freebies didn't seem to impress Kalina, his skill with the crossbow did. He was smart enough to wait until the big Baharius stopped moving, which meant he was able to get behind Nissa without incident as he loaded his bolts. The hit struck true, managing to take out one of the two Boggearts trying to gang up on Nissa. <br>
<br>
After moving to behind Clarice, Scylla decided to cast another type of spell upon the Boggearts. However, the necrotic energy / acid damage was far less effective than the fire had been. Considering the spectres were looking for the Boggearts nearest to the bunny from the location from which Scylla had summoned them, three of them together would finish off the Boggeart Kesh had previously wounded whilst another two managed to bring down the one wounded by Baharius. <br>
<br>
The Boggearts had stared at Nissa with the same level of fury and rage as they'd shown from the beginning, not really comprehending her speech. She managed to slash its legs badly enough for it to fall down, but that didn't kill it. Although her arguing with Cayde nearly gave the fallen Boggeart enough time to scratch at her legs, she managed to jam a draining strike through its head before it reached her and finished it off. <br>
<br>
Kalina, seeing the Boggearts fall in rapid pace, was almost worrying she'd not be able to put up a good score at this rate. It'd be a bit too out of character though, so she tried to play it off a little more cool. The lone Boggeart that was still rushing at them from the marshes was an easy target, taken down with a single bolt . Unlike Cayde, she wasn't great at moving and shooting at once, yet her allies blocked her sight... She looked at the muddy, gross, dirty swamp water. That wasn't an option either. She sighed, putting away her crossbow and drawing her rapier instead. She was able to navigate past and between allies somehow, until she ended up next to Kesh and jumped over the recently slain Boggeart from where she managed to ram her rapier through the skull of one of the remaining Boggearts attacking the bunny, taking it out in a clean hit.<br>
<br>
With her flanks now taken care off, the Paladin Bunny gathered the remained of her strength to attack again, taking one of the two Boggearts down with a mighty hammer swing and the second with a bright flair of light magic. She immediately fell to her knees afterwards, breathing heavily and looking in great pain. With effort, however, she focused on casting some sort of magic that seemed to slow down the spread of poison, although it didn't seem to heal her. Upon realising that, she gritted her teeth and glanced up at her saviours, some curiosity, fear and worry shown underneath the clear signs of her being in great pain.</div>

As Baharius' offensive venture concluded, the party's antics were able to successfully kill off the rest of the vile boggearts for good. If any were to have survived, they were wise to retreat from the scene, plunging back into the depths of the dead marsh. The saurian took a moment to release a roaring hiss to any beyond the thick trees to the north-east, exhaling any further pent up adrenaline and affirming he and his party's victory. Hopefully they've driven them off for good and that they weren't smart or foolish enough to return with more friends.<br>
<br>
He looked back to the rest of the group, taking a quick mental note of everyone here. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Status Report."</span></b> he called to everyone, taking a deep breath before turning his attention to the rabbit paladin; who seemed like she was now suffering from shock. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Heed Paladin," </span></b>the imposing reptilian calmly said to her, making sure to sheathe his teeth within his lips to avoid looking too  threatening, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"You are safe now. What is your name?"</span></b><br>
<br>
Indeed, she wasn't looking too good; the boggearts had already done a good amount of damage to her. Her knees were weak and her breaths were heavily labored. The saurian could see vague discolored veins circulating a toxic substance through her body. While he assumed that the boggearts were venomous and/or poisonous just by their looks and toxic aura, this had no doubt confirmed it. Had they not helped the bunny, she surely would've been killed. Her magic seemed to be holding off the spread for now, but it was clear she needed immediate medical attention.<br>
<br>
 <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"><b>"Can anyone stop the poison from spreading?"</b></span> Baharius urgently asked the rest of the party, his attention focusing specifically at Clayde and Scylla.</div>

Nissa's verbal fire came as expected. Cayde waved it off, her insults were becoming par for the course now, but that sudden little comment on hampsters and roaches managed to get a light chuckle out of him. He thought being half-hampster didn't sound so bad; he'd be off eating cabbage, digging holes, or whatever hampsters did. That sounded like paradise compared to his current situation. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"I take it that's your weird way of saying thank you, huh?" </b></span>Cayde smirked, looking her over. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"If so: You're welcome, Lyse." </b></span>His eyes eventually found the shallow cuts on her legs, and they softened with sympathy. Nissa didn't seem bothered by them, but any wound in these conditions would only invite disaster. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Perfectly fine, right?" </span></b>Cayde pointed at her legs with a free hand, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Don't worry about it. I've got something that'll cover em' up real quick." </b></span>He said, before motioning to Kesh, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Kesh can help too. Maybe if you apologize and ask her nicely, she'll lend you a hand." </b></span>He prompted, hoping she'd kill her ego just this once, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"All you've gotta do is ask, Lyse." </b></span><br>
<br>
While awaiting her decision, Cayde crossed over to check up on Kesh, inspecting her for injuries. Much to his relief, she was unharmed, though that didn't stop him from asking, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"You okay? They didn't scratch you or anything?" </b></span>He spotted the grime on her claws and pulled a cloth to clean them. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Y'know, that was a crazy thing you did back there - r<i>eal crazy," </i></b></span>Cayde said softly, a smile forming in his voice. Despite all of his worries, he couldn't stay mad at her. She was okay; that's all that mattered now. Cayde chuckled, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Zane's gonna kill me if he finds out about this, but that doesn't matter right now." </b></span>He placed a hand on her shoulder and offered her the warmest smile he could muster, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"You pulled through, all by yourself, Kesh. I'm proud of you." </b></span>His eyes darted to Scylla, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"And when you're free..." </b></span>He added, leaning in to whisper, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Could ya give Scylla a little apology? She thinks I-" </b></span>He contemplated telling her Scylla's accusation. He quickly decided not to, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Uh, never mind. Just do me this favor, alright?" </b></span><br>
<br>
Baharius' request to assist the rabbit brought his attention back to the present. The rabbit had completely slipped Cayde's mind for a moment, and he felt a twinge of shame stab at him. He felt even worse when he finally saw her up close, utterly unable to stand and clearly in great pain. Here he was, chit-chatting and cleaning claws while she was wasting away - he had to do something. In fact, he <i>could</i> do something.<br>
<br>
Cayde gave an affirmative nod to Baharius and rushed to the beast-woman's side, already removing his pack and extracting all the tools he needed. He drew several powdered plant and mushroom vials from his ingredient pouch and grabbed his bag of salt and a small bottle. Then, he went to work, carefully measuring in portions of light green, white, and red powders, some water, and a pinch of salt for principle. He glanced at the rabbit occasionally, offering her small reassuring smiles, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"We've got you, miss," </b></span>He'd tell her, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Just hang on a little longer..." </b></span><br>
<br>
With a good shake, his <b>[Natural Cure] </b>was finally finished. The result was nothing pretty, the drab green sloshing lazily about in its bottle as he held it, but hopefully, it'd at least pause whatever poison was coursing through her veins. Cayde gently held it up to her, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"It's a bit bitter, but it'll do you a world of good, I promise." </b></span>He looked back and gestured for Kesh to come over. Perhaps her healing magic would make the process go a lot smoother.<br>

Kesh was staring at the grime and gore on her claws, she felt a bit sick seeing it. She tried to flick it off but it wouldn't come off and she had to turn her head away as she kept flicking this slime off her hands that just wouldn't get off her. But her ears perked hearing Cayde and she immediately swung her head towards his voice with a smile on her face seeing him. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">CLYDE! you're okay!</span></b> " Kesh cried moving closer to the plague doctor before she began to pout and almost cry, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Clyde! I got stuff in my hands and they won't come off! They smell gross and feel sticky! </span></b>" She complained leaning against the plague doctor with her hands still in the air while she slowly dragged down Cayde while fake crying. <br>
<br>
His rag quickly caught her attention as she stood straight up smiling while he wiped her hands, watching his hands work. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Yeah! Kesh is crazy-mad! I didn't want to hurt-kill the thingys, but I knew I had to because I didn't want you to get hurt. I also feel useless-vain and wanted to help. Get my hands dirty-gross. </span></b>" Kesh explained to the plague doctor. Although the plague doctor saying that he was proud of her kinda got her in a soft spot, her face looked a bit saddened as her hands were finally clean, the Ratkin hugged Cayde as tight as she could, which wasn't that tight. Showing her appreciation for his words. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Kesh can be useless-vain sometimes but I want to help-assist.</span></b> " Kesh explained as she pulled away having a happy smile.<br>
<br>
Then his next line of questioning had the Ratkin's full attention, when he motioned to the witch Scylla, Kesh had a confused face for a moment then her face lit up with understanding. She looked at Cayde with this look of excitement and her whole body shook. It was a weird sight but a omen, a omen of the Ratkin muddling things up once again before she ran off quickly to find the witch, Scylla. Seeing the witch's appearance, Kesh overcame her fear of the witch with her excitement. Quickly stopping in front of the witch, Kesh stared at the witch with this smile on her face, although she didn't say anything for a few moment which was already weird, like she was thinking about what to say. But her eyes lit up. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Master Clyde says you got a nice booty-fanny and wants to take you to a dinner-meal in Ryken! </span></b>" Kesh smiled then looked back at Cayde if he could see, giving a thumbs up, turning to Scylla the Ratkin waved at her then ran off once again to her teacher, Cayde. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Okay, bye-bye.</span></b> " The Ratkin ran off quickly. <br>
<br>
Arriving to her masters side, Kesh stared at Cayde, "<b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"> I apologized.</span></b> " She said calmly and weirdly, which indicated that she was lying. Although, there were other problems right now, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">She wants dinner.</span></b> " Kesh then saw the rabbit and smiled, further ignoring anything that Cayde would ask about Scylla. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Aww it's so cute-sweet. </span></b>" Kesh whispered, although seeing the rabbit in pain, Kesh knelt down into the mud and placed her hands above the rabbit with her ring starting to go, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Heal-Mend!</span></b> " Kesh stated as her rings emitted a strange glow to attempt to the rabbit in front of them. <br>
<br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul"><b><i>Magic Heal Cut-Ache! Yes! </i>- Magic Affinity E, Healing F:</b> Kesh is able to use her magic to help heal minor cuts, aches and bruises. Has to be in touching range. (1 Post Cooldown)</li>

<br>
<br>
After Scyllas spell, dissipated, she took off her hat and used it like a fan to cool herself off. Examining the debris, and bark scattered about the swamp grounds, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“hmm, that didn’t exaclty go as i thought..”</span> she said with a hint of remorse, as she pulled a small empty paged tome from her robes. She began to twirl her index finger in thought as a small ink vial and feather floated before her. The animated writing utencils would write her thoughts and notes.<span style="color: #9365b8"> “Don't.. use.. acid.. on.. swamp creatures.. check!”</span> With a self assuring nod she put everything away and approached the others standing around the bunny warrior.<br>
<br>
There were alot of comments being exchaged but Nissa’s stood out the most. Scratching the side of her head under her hat she frowned,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Hey, thats not.. very nice.”</span> She turned to look at Kesh getting her claws cleaned, and found it quite heartwarming to see Cayde so concerned and attentive to his partner. Still, not quite forgetting about earlier, she quickly turned away.<br>
<br>
Holding herself to honor what she agreed to with Clarice to not heal the bunny, she stood around and observed how the others evaluated or decided to heal the bunny. Mesmerized by the bunnys adorable little frame, Scylla appeared to have a hard time resisting to reach out to it. Emitting a high pitched squeak as her eyes betrayed her immense desire to cuddle the little creature.<span style="color: #9365b8"> “C-clarice.. i.. just.. can't..I'm so so sorry!”</span> She said as she pursed her lips with restraint.<br>
<br>
After Cayde would administer his potion, she immidately gave into her instinct and embraced the bunny.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Eeeeeek! Youre so adorable! I’m so sorry to invade your space miss bunny!”</span> Although she was seemingly distracted she used <i>[Appraisal E] </i>to perhaps get some insight on the bunny.<br>
<br>
After a few moments, the witch finally collected herself and put the bunny down very gently. A bit embarrassed, she took a few steps back next to Clarice.<br>
<br>
It was then that she smelled something funny before noticing the Ratkin, Kesh behind her. A bit startled she gasped, nudging into Clarice. When Kesh wouldn't speak, Scylla collected her composure a bit. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Hm? Yes? What is it miss Kesh?" </span><span style="color: #efefef">the Ratkin strangely appeared to be in contemplation, or pondering, before she came to life as her eyes beamed with excitement. Then Kesh finally spoke, and Scylla recoiled with a deep blush. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"W-what did you say?" </span><span style="color: rgb(239, 239, 239)">She said weakly, </span>the words not really processing at first through her analytical mind. It didn't really set in until the rat took her leave and returned to Caydes side. Scylla gazed completely frozen in  disbelief as Kesh appeared to make some comments to Cayde. And just when she was beginning to get over the incident earlier. Her embarrassed blush then quickly became a scowl as she raised a spiteful fist, and turned back around, leaning into Clarice's ear.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "See? He's such a pig! Kesh probably didn't even want to say it! Did you see how she hesitated?!" </span> </span><br>
<br>

Could that be from the disease or because it's only similar to blood? </span></i><span style="color: rgb(239, 239, 239)">She pondered the theory for a moment as Cayde chimed in, which broke her concentration on the creatures at hand.

Nissa then looked down at the cuts on her legs and then looked back at the quack. </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Shut up! Shut up, Shut up! I am perfectly fine it is only a flesh wound. Secondly, the rat is more akin to giving me some kind of drug than I would trust her." </span><span style="color: rgb(239, 239, 239)">Nissa concluded by grabbing the sword, moving closer to the bunny, and poking one of the dead creatures. </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)"><i>Why are they helping a potential threat?

Are these people stupid!? </i></span><span style="color: rgb(239, 239, 239)">She thought to herself before she aligned herself at an angle that would avoid hitting the witch; as she then used draining strike, attempting to drive her blade through the side of the rabbit's rib cage. <br>

The bunny flinched a bit when the much larger Baharius called out, but once he lowered his weapon and sheeted his teeth, she replied. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“Abha... Abha Roshan.”</b></span> The words didn't come out easily, considering the pain she was in right now. <br>
<br>
Naturally, she eyed Cayde with a whole lot of suspicion whilst he was preparing his potion. That only increased when she saw how gross and toxic the stuff he prepared her looked. One of her ears flopped down at the smell of it, but she did take it. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“Can't get any more sick and poisoned than this...”</b></span> She muttered, convincing herself to gulp it down. Knowing it'd be bitter, she made sure to down it all in one go and to try to taste as little of it as possible. The latter meant she had to suppress an initial urge to barf it back up, but in the end she managed to hold it in. She even started to look a slight bit better from it. Although Kesh's healing wasn't anything to write home about, with the poison already taken care off, it was enough to close up the scratches and cuts and stop the bleeding as well. Their teamwork had significantly aided the bunny to become a lot more stabilized, although she was still quite weak. <br>
<br>
Scylla's hug was clearly surprising her a whole lot, as she instinctively tried to draw back but was too weak to do so. Upon realising she wasn't harmed by it, she was quick to accept her faith. If that was the cost of being saved and healed back, it was a small prize to pay. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“I guess you've earned the right, after saving me.”</b></span> She said, trying to flash a weak smile. Scylla's appraisal wouldn't get anything from the bunny herself, but her belt would show up. It was an F Grade item called [Belt of Vegard's Order]. None of her other items showed up.<br>
<br>
As they were all distracted by Cayde's perverted behaviour, Nissa managed to squeeze between them and jabbed her blade into the side out the rabbit's rib cage. Coming out of nowhere and attacking an already weakened foe, it clearly hurt the bunny a lot to have what little of her strength remained drained. Her eyes went wide in shock, as she fell down onto the swamp ground, bleeding quite badly from the wound that was left by Nissa's attack. She wasn't quite dead yet, but she'd be so in less than a minute if she wasn't treated immediately and even then, it'd be questionable if she'd make it. Oddly enough, even through all the panic and shock, the bunny seemed more focussed on trying to calm herself down as if trying to suppress something.  <br>

Kalina, savouring that sweet victory of her Boggeaert kill-count against Cayde, was trying to wipe the most disgusting looking blood she'd seen in ages from her rapier when she spotted Nissa's attack against the rabbit. She was surprised that her fellow vampire would act so rash, risking the fact she'd make an enemy out of all the others that were present here. She even wondered if this was the moment where she had to throw her fellow monster under the bus and accuse it for acting like her title, or perhaps simply straight up attack her. In the, however, she decided to do neither of those things. She didn't want to stand out too much, so she'd await to see how the others would react first. Well, there was one thing she did, which was take a few steps back and ready her crossbow. Just in case.</div>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1661616867661-png.1016300/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/953/953430-cb1c386a8cbfae7ed1289952dbff9697.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1661616867661.png" title="1661616867661.png" width="100" height="114" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Kesh was smiling happily at the rabbit being nice to them, the Ratkin very much appreciated the cooperation this Abha emitted, not like she was in the position to deny them. Although to Kesh it looked like her healing wasn't working, which the Ratkin was disappointed with. Kesh was seeing that her abilities weren't that strong to help this poor rabbit, which Kesh was compelled to do. The Ratkin we're always cooperative with each other, although while most Ratkin weren't afraid of other races, mainly because they loved underground, Kesh didn't mind, besides undead. They were scary.<br>
<br>
Kesh's hands were on her hips as Scylla hugged the poor adorable rabbit. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Don't worry, we will help-assist you. </span></b>" Kesh said disappointed in herself for not being stronger or well versed in magic. She was beginning to feel useless again. But she did have a question for the recovering Abha. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Kesh has a question for you, cute rabbit.</span></b> " The Ratkin started but she would see Nissa run up on them and heard a thunk as a blade stabbed into the rabbit. Kesh's eyes widen as she held her hands up, the Ratkin was shocked by what had just happened. Not sure what to do at the moment.<br>
<br>
Kesh stared at the rabbit before moving closer to her, her hands were shaking. Fear was running through Kesh, shock as well. She hadn't seen another humanoid die like this before. Sure she just killed some boggarts but they could be argued as wildlife, which is what Kesh used to convince herself to go through with it. But this, Kesh wasnt able to do that. The Ratkin held the rabbit in her arms staring at her. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Wh-.</span></b> " Kesh's eyes watered up. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Why?</span></b> " Kesh looked up at Nissa, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Why would you do that? </span></b>" Kesh's tears rolled down her cheeks and faded into her fur. <br>
<br>
Kesh gulped trying to figure out a way to help the rabbit but Kesh was too weak and too inexperienced to help, her magic wasn't good enough to heal the rabbit in the first place otherwise she probably would have helped the rabbit fully. Kesh quietly sobbed to herself, this was the first time something like this has happened to the Ratkin and she wasn't sure how to deal with it.</div>

</b> (Kesh)<br>​</div><hr><br>
As Baharius' request was lain bare for all to hear, Clayde and Kesh would both utilize their magics to help soothe with the paladin's injuries. The saurian couldn't help but give a satisfied smile at their efforts. He admittedly was rather skeptical at how they would turn out during the battle, especially the spastic reactions of the ratkin, but so far they've been working great with the team. The paladin, referring herself as Abha Roshan, would also find herself getting glomped by Scylla the witch, giving another warm ping into Baharius' heart. While sporting no physical means in helping to cure her, the best thing Baharius could do now was to stand guard as the others tended to her wounds. <br>
<br>
This being said, Baharius already had a hunch regarding who this paladin really was. While he couldn't confirm it for sure, he had a strong hunch that this Lagomorph paladin must be the were-rabbit the Hag referred too. If he was so inclined, he might've considered killing her while she was in her "weakened form", taking the threat out before she would become more difficult. While tempting, especially for an ex-general with years of battle experience, Baharius remembered that they didn't need to simply eliminate the threats. So long as they were out of the Hag's territory, they would count as being "purged" from the marsh. Roshan seemed like a reasonable soul who could listen to reason, provided they phrase their question carefully. So long as nobody made any sudden movements, they could persuade the paladin to leave the marsh and not have to~<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><i><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">*STAB*</span></i></b>​</div><br>
There was sharp twang of pierced flesh, accompanied by a gurgled gasp. Immediately, Baharius' head snapped back towards the group with a disgruntled growl. There she saw the culprit; the silver-haired <b><i>brat</i></b> stabbing her blade right into Roshan's ribcage. For a moment, the saurian stood almost completely still in shock. He almost felt a sense of betrayal at this action, despite already noting and experiencing Nissa's stand-off attitude towards he and the rest of the party. How could he have not seen this coming? Why did he fail in keeping an eye on the "black sheep" of the group? Kesh's response didn't help but to affirm Nissa's utter hostility. <br>
<br>
The saurian's mortified expression quickly morphed into one of sheer rage; his avian pupils now turning into cold, reptilian-esque, slits. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"FOOL!"</span></b> Baharius boomed in a scolding tone.<br>
<br>
Immediately afterwards, Baharius attempted to make a sudden lunge to grab her with his massive clawed hand, having been already standing relatively behind her. If to connect, his thumb and index were big and meaty enough to wrap around the brat's neck, with the other digits gripping at her upper torso. He was careful not to stab her with his ebony-colored claws, but it was very much tempting to do so... something he wouldn't hesitate to do if she decided to go completely awol. With a primal guttural growl, the beast lifted her into the air, as his head slowly emerged from her left flank; seeing his needled teeth now brightly exposed and chattering in place.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"WHY DID YOU STRIKE FORTH?"</span></b> the high-spine beast roared with bitter resentment, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"WE WERE GOING TO ASK FOR HER TO LEAVE PEACEFULLY... AND NOW YOU DARE PROVOKE HER WHILE SHE POSED NO THREAT? YOU LACK HONOR, BRAT, AND NOW THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR ACTIONS WILL BE ON YOUR HANDS~"</span></b><br>
<br>
Indeed, looking at the paladin now... it would seem that a fight was now more likely than ever. Thought if this is indeed that were-rabbit, and he was sure of it, she seemed to be holding back her bestial form. It was as if she was actively refusing to transform - trying to at least. But with a fatal wound now piercing through her chest, survival seemed very unlikely. Only a miracle could perhaps save her from certain doom... whether for the betterment or detriment of all involved.</div>

<br>
If Kesh, Cayde, Nissa, and Baharius conspired to efface any and all traces of Clarice's faith in the party, their mission was a resounding success!  Gods almighty, Clarice could not dream up a more dysfunctional "team" even with the aid of pristine Silver Age Comics, mind-altering substances, and day-old pizza!  Among their numbers, Clarice counts a kleptomaniacal burnout, a particularly handsy pervert, a homicidal vampire, a reptilian military nut, an introvert with all the personality of a bowl of oatmeal, an unreliable ditz, and, of course, a tyrannical Karen.  Calling this group a team is a bad joke!  What's more, their dynamic is growing stale.<br>
<br>
It's high time for a change of pace.<br>

<br>
Three targets in range.<br>
<b>[Action 1: Cast Mind Control - F on Baharius]<br>
[Action 2: Cast Kingmaker - E on Nissa and Cayde]</b><br>
Silent Command: Magnify Fear<br>
<br>
Gaze into their lifeless eyes and witness the dire consequences of your failure.  Feel your body, broken and unresponsive, sagging under its self-weight.  Taste your own blood as it burbles out of your throat and into your mouth.  Let your fear rule you.<br>
<br>
What follows might shape Clarice's targets' fears, but her command only magnifies existing fears for the duration (which Clarice deliberately limits to 6 seconds/1 post for all targets).  Ergo, the manifestations will almost invariably differ from what Clarice anticipates.<br>
<br>
-----<br>
To Baharius, the fallen General:<br>
<br>
Everyone you knew is dead, and it's all your fault.  You fancied yourself a tactician without peer.  You played right into their hands.  Your party trusted you; you led them to a mass grave.  You watched helplessly as they were torn limb from limb.  You're all alone now, and what's more, you're broken.  Society has no use for you; they've cast you aside.  Though you survived, the world has forgotten you.  Every time you close your eyes, you see the faces of the people you've killed.  Their screams wake you up at night.  Before you know it, you can't endure this waking nightmare any longer.  [Edited out for propriety.]  Your body goes slack and your eyes roll back in your head.<br>
<br>
There is enough suffering in this world.  Do not engender more of it in your hubris.<br>
<br>
-----<br>
To Nissa, the heartless vampire:<br>
<br>
You lie motionless on a cold stone slab.  You are conscious, but your body does not respond to your will.  You realize that you're paralyzed.  You can't sleep or eat or drink.  All you can do is stare, unblinking, into the darkness enveloping you.  With a thin layer of cheesecloth covering you, you are virtually indistinguishable from the corpses that surround you.  You will wish for death, but the body you have been cursed with will forever deny it.  Over several eons, your sanity will slowly erode.  You try to scream, but you have no voice.  Years pass.  A party of adventurers enters your tomb.  Your body rises to meet them, and you finally realize that you relinquished control of yourself a long time ago.<br>
<br>
Cling to your humanity or you will fall prey to the Beast.  Even now, it stalks you, waiting to swallow you whole.<br>
<br>
-----<br>
To Cayde, the perverted alchemist:<br>
<br>
You shake Kesh vigorously, but she does not stir.  She stopped breathing minutes ago, but you can't give up on her!  You heard and felt the visceral crack of her ribs as you desperately attempted to restart her heart with chest compressions.  You pour another tonic down her throat.  There is no response.  You realize that Kesh has bled out.  You cry out for help; again, there is no response.  Still in shock, you glance up and witness the carnage the monster you spared has wrought.  You are scarcely aware of the blood mingling with the tears streaming down your face as you cradle Kesh's lifeless body and close your eyes for the last time.<br>
<br>
Do not rely on the mercy of monsters; others will suffer for your lapse in judgement.<br>
<br>
-----<br>
Whatever the outcome, the light and darkness clashing behind Clarice's eyes fade away.  She blinks before discarding her busted lantern, guttering flames and all, in the muck at her feet.  Now, she examines the paladin and retrieves the rope from her pack.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">Scylla, your new chum is turning.  If you want to help it, you can try, but please stay at a distance and be ready to take it down if it transforms.</span><br>
<br>
<b>[Action 3: Transfer Rope]</b>  Next, Clarice lobs a 50 ft length of loosely wound rope at Kesh.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041">Kesh and Kate, if you want to help this creature, you can use your dextrous digits to bind it before it transforms.  If we can immobilize it, we may be able to wait out the transformation.  I'd attempt it myself, but I am otherwise engaged at the moment.</span><br>
<br>
Clarice crosses her arms, blows a wayward strand of hair out of her face, and scowls <b>[Scowler]</b>.<br>
<br>
<b>[Scowler]</b>  The blistering intensity of Clarice's scowl discourages all who might dare to interact with her.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">And since my romantic interest blurted out my </span><span style="color: #e25041">birth name, I should probably re-introduce myself as Clarice Gailingen, First-Year in the Psionics Department at the Ryken Academy.</span><br>
<br>
A beat.  In annoyance, Clarice loudly exhales.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041">Come to think of it, I should also warn you that the next person to inappropriately touch my romantic interest will earn a complimentary knife in the back.  Considering how I nearly ditched you less than a minute ago to salvage some shred of my sanity, I implore you not to do anything stupid like try to call my bluff.  Just work with me until we're out of this situation.  Then, we never have to work together again.</span><br>
<br>
Clarice refocuses on the paladin.  It's in bad shape.  Perhaps that is for the best.  If this is, in fact, a werehare on the verge of turning, it is best that it remain in poor health.<br>
<br>
Conversely, the paladin might turn only when it loses consciousness.  If so, this incident could very well resemble The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.  Clarice recalls that Dr. Jekyll slew himself instead of allowing Mr. Hyde to take over his body and mind.  Was this paladin possessed of sufficient courage to make the same choice and perish on its own terms?<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">Same goes for you.  I need you to stay in this form.  If you can't, I have a backup plan, but let's try to avoid that for now.</span><br>

Cayde thought everything was going so well. He and Kesh had patched up Abha quite nicely, Kesh and Scylla adorably celebrating her health, all while Baharius quietly watched over them. Cayde could see the solemn, satisfied smile forming on the saurial's face, and in return, he gave a wide one of his own. He reckoned Kate and Alice were around here too, celebrating in their own way. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"</b></span><b><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">This is it!"</span></i></b> Cayde thought - this was when the team finally got together, getting rid of their vices to salute a job almost done! The hardest part, speaking to the were-rabbit, would come soon, but he rose, eager to meet the challenge. If he failed, well, there were always the others to rely on.<br>
<br>
Then he saw Nissa's blade strike the rabbit, and that's when he realized he would never get that opportunity. No words could amend what she had just done. No mixture of herbs and mushrooms would stop the repercussions of her actions. Cayde said nothing, merely clutching his head and facing away from the scene, praying that something in the trees would swoop down and snatch the sheer rage that bubbled behind his eyes. But, instead, he heard Baharius scold the woman behind him, and her <i>excuse </i>found its way into his head. Except, it wasn't an excuse. She had a point. What could he have said to persuade Abha to move? What would he do if she was as ruthless and cunning as the hag made her out to be? Talk? While he and his allies were ripped apart? She was right - he'd rather die than admit it, but she was right.<br>
<br>
His judgment would only do so much to curb his emotions, however. Cayde knew he had to say <i>something</i>, or else he'd explode in front of everyone. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and turned around, but Nissa wasn't there. Instead, abhorrent scenes flashed past his eyes. They began and ended in just a blink of an eye, but he felt every second of it: Kesh lying dead in his arms, denial wracking his mind, shame for his naivety, and finally, as he was brought back to reality, nothing.<br>
<br>
Cayde stared wide-eyed, still trying to comprehend what he had just experienced. Someone had done that to him. He didn't know if it was one of his allies, the 'fourth monster,' the hag, or even the paladin he'd just saved, but someone out there had reached into his mind and filled it with his deepest fears, all to prove something he still couldn't understand. The skepticism rushed in like a wave.<br>
<br>
He exploded. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Y'know what? I'm sorry," </b></span>Cayde said softly, his hand massaging his temples, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"I'll admit to my mistakes: I shouldn't have rushed in blindly. I should have waited for you guys, discussed things, formed a proper plan, and come to a compromise. Then, maybe, we wouldn't be here squabbling over our - <i>my</i> lack of communication." </b></span>His despondent gaze fell to the ground, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Blame me. Blame my naivety." <br>
<br>
"But please understand, I am human." </b></span>He added, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"A human whose actions can be swayed by speech, opinions, facts, and logic." </b></span>He tried to get the words out without getting choked up. He failed miserably. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"NOT BY HAVING THOUGHTS OF THEIR DYING APPRENTICE BEAMED INTO THEIR FUCKING BRAIN!" </b></span>The rage in his voice devolved into a snuffle, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"For the sake of the team, I won't accuse any of you. It must've been the hag, the fourth monster, or I might just be going insane." </b></span><br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"But, in the odd case that I'm wrong, and I find out you tried that trick on me</span></b> <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>one more time. On Whitinger's name, I will kill you." </b></span>He didn't need graphic descriptions or showy threats; a boundary was crossed, and a promise was made. A promise, Cayde knew, that had just burned all the bridges he tried making with these people. This was something he would regret; he hadn't a doubt in his mind. Now <i>he</i> was the unreasonable one.<br>
<br>
He looked to Abha, his eyes welling with remorse. Nothing he could say now would ease her for what was to come. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Do what you will," </b></span>Cayde muttered to the party and the paladin, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"I'll be ready." </b></span><br>
<br>
With all said and done, Cayde guided Kesh away and brought her into a tight embrace. He said nothing.</div>

<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1661726482789-png.1016713/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/953/953843-cb1c386a8cbfae7ed1289952dbff9697.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1661726482789.png" title="1661726482789.png" width="100" height="114" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Kesh stared at the dying rabbit, trying to think of anything that could help, her magic was weak and her knowledge in alchemy was too little. Not that a potion could help in this case. Kesh's eyes closed for a moment as she released the rabbit and let her lay down. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Kesh is sorry she couldn't help-assist. I wanted to be friends-buddies.</span></b> " Kesh mumbled placing a hand on the rabbits shoulder with a saddened expression. The Ratkin was too naive and inexperienced to really understand the situation fully. <br>
<br>
Kesh's eyes looked up at the rest of the group devolving into standoffs. Kesh didn't like this group of people, the mistrust and lying everyone did. It wasn't like this usually, especially with her family and her true home, The Colony, where everyone was nice and helped each other. Sometimes there was arguments and such but they never were this bad. She wondered if she should have stayed home with her parents and four siblings or returned to The Colony. She looked up to see that Cayde had exploded, talking of his apprentice dying. <i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Was that me? Kesh is Clyde's apprentice.</span></i> Kesh thought to herself as the alchemist calmed down. <br>
<br>
Kesh's eyes looked back to the rabbit as Kesh gently stroked her head as her breathes were slowing. But she then felt Cayde's hand on her shoulder guide her away from the rabbit, Kesh looked a bit confused and was going to protest to being moved away from the rabbit as she wanted to be with her in her final moments but instead felt arms wrap around her. Looking up at Cayde, Kesh's arms weakly hugged Cayde. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">It'll be okay, Master Clyde. We can help-assist the rabbit! </span></b>" Kesh smiled a little weakly, rather unsure of her own sentence, she was just trying to be positive in a traumatic event that she has just witnessed. Although Kesh was unaware of what was really happening. What would possibly transpire.</div>

<br>
<br>
Since the bunny didn’t seem to mind, Scylla held the bunny closer burying her face in her soft little neck.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Eeek! She has such a cute little voice too!” </span>The witch exclaimed happily.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Can we keep her?!” </span>Already picturing the bunny in various outfits, having tea parties, eating lots of cake and maybe even bringing her to the academy to show off her new little friend to her classmates. Little did the witch know that right behind her shadow, the bunny’s fate was being decided.<br>
<br>
As the witch was putting the bunny down, a horrible sound emitted from within the bunny paladin. The sound of steel against flesh and bone, followed by a gurgling gasp due to a pierced lung. A sudden look of horrific surprise enveloped the witches expression as she looked into the bunny’s pained eyes. The witch looked down to where the sword had entered, and with equal merciless intent caught the glimpses of the cold steel pulled out, as the bunny’s vitality was drained from her.<br>
<br>
Flashing a quick expression of astonished disbelief she looked at Nissa.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “W-why would you-?!"</span><br>
<br>
Tears began to well in the witches eyes as she noticed the rabbit slowly go limp, letting her weight drop in Scyllas arms. As tear drops now fell upon the bunnies fur she eased the bunny warrior into Kesh’s arms. The witch in sudden shock still trying to come to grips with the reality before her, as Kesh pleaded, and tried to make sense of the events herself.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “N-no.. no.. please.. no..”</span> she repeated as the bunny shook with blood loss and vitality, but she visibly appeared to be resisting something, however it was impossible to know what exactly.<br>
<br>
Her mind would frantically sift through so much academic information before recalling a healing spell out of a tome given to her by a priest to help around in the infirmary before embarking into the Underbelly. She hoped it would alleviate this wound in some meaningful way, as she remembered the spell w<i><b>a</b></i>s incomplete, therefore a lesser one.<br>
<br>
Wiping away her tears quickly and sloppily with her wrists, as she damned the gods for not researching further into healing magics. She then gazed at Clarice who was channeling some kind of mind spell, unable to really find the reason to her actions. Then the bit about being a ‘romantic interest’ made her flinch with astonishment and surprise. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“C-clarice?” </span>she asked, unable to really blush or elaborate in anyway due to the circumstances. This wasn’t really the right time after all. When her colleague would mention that the rabbit was turning, Scylla shook her head, sniffling and visibly heartbroken but mostly in denial.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “No.. no she wont turn, you’ll see!” </span><br>
<br>
Suddenly, she began to channel the healing magic, taking a deep breath as she focused her thoughts, muttering the incantation, and closing her eyes the witch would place both her hands on the Rabbit warriors wound. Effectively casting <i><b>[Mending Stream] </b></i>on the bunny paladin. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Please, whatever it is you’re going through, hold on.”</span> Holding the bunnies hand in hers.<br>
<br>
---<br>
<br>
Once the spell was finished however, she would stand and face Nissa, listening to her words as the shadow of her hat obscured her face, only tears could be seen dripping onto the swampy ground. Once the vampire was finished however, she began. Once again wiping her tears,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Although what you say may be true, it doesn’t change that you acted without first identifying a real danger, regardless of what the crone might have said..” </span>She began to make a fist, as a fiery magic welled within her and around her.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..in my eyes your actions have revealed you to be a monster, prepare yourself fiend!” </span>With that, the witchs hands would swiftly lift her staff and with a shout cast <i><b>[Fire Arrows]</b></i> aiming for the the Vampire Nissa.<br>

Baharius' attempt to grab Nissa would succeed, as the latter ended up paralysed by fear under the effect of Clarice's Kingmaker. He'd be able to grab her in the manner he intended to with little effort. That wasn't before she got a few more words in, however, as Nissa managed to finish off her argument before her mind got taken over. Nissa's mind was the only one to get taken over for the entire turn, forcing her to suffer the fear after she'd made her counter-arguments and to be grabbed by Baharius, as the latter went out of his way to grab her without harming her and therefore didn't trigger her enough to break out of the Mind Control. (<i>OOC: F Grade Character, E Grade Skill, command was to magnify fear, the rest of the description is flavour, ignore it or go along with it at your own discretion/desire.</i>) <br>
<br>
Meanwhile, Baharius himself, not knowing of Clarice's power, had gotten touched by her. However, it only took him one action to break out of it and grab a hold of Nissa. He would've felt something trying to intrude into his mind, but he was free to block it out. (<i>OOC; E Grade Character, F Grade Skill, no physical effect of having his body going slack or having his fear magnified. How much you wish to go along with him experiencing the rest of the flavour text is up to your own discretion/desire.</i>)<br>
<br>
The same happened to Cayde. He felt the intrusion into his mind and got to experience the vision intended to magnify his fear, before breaking out of it and feeling his rage boil up instead. (<i>OOC: D Grade Character, E Grade Skill, no effect, but decided to go along with some the command/flavour.</i>) Oddly enough, Cayde decided not to use his knowledge of medicine to attempt to stop the bleeding, instead ignoring the rapid blood-loss like everyone else was doing. Everyone else, except one person.<br>
<br>
Scylla was the only one to actually attempt to save the rabbit, being of sound enough mind to actually place her hands on the wound and apply pressure to it. Although her healing magic was only slightly stronger than Kesh's, it did manage to close up the wound and stop the bleeding. That said, it was unclear if any internal damage had still been too much or not... The rabbit's breathing slowed down even further, as she grew a bit colder. It was clear that, thanks to the blood-loss, her temperature dropped to dangerous levels. It wasn't long before she was unconscious, but her heart was still beating ever so faintly. She was tethering on the edges of life and death, which was already more than expected thanks to Scylla's last minute efforts. That said, she'd need to be treated carefully if she was to be kept alive.<br>
<br>
In her zeal and rage, Scylla attempt to attack Nissa with a magic more powerful than she could muster. She yelled and waved her staff, but all that came of it was some smoke. (<i>OOC: Energised would allow for two F grade abilities in a turn, but not for two E grade ones.</i>)<br>

Kalina, having been silent, was surprised by how angry Baharius had gotten, or how sad the rat had seemed to be and how much effort Scylla was putting into saving this bunny. However, she was most surprised by the one who's eyes suddenly went pitch black. It was easy to connect one and two when Nissa fell silent and Cayde started raging. She wondered if she should speak up or not... On the one hand, she was genuinely upset at the idea of someone toying with other's minds like that. On the other, it seemed like the alchemist tried to pretend being unaware of who'd done it to keep the peace. She gritted her teeth, eventually caving in to emotion. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I'm not inclined to obey the command of one that would mess with the minds of those they're supposed to be allying with, miss Callingen.”</b></span> Her voice practically dripped with venom, as she wasn't even trying to blend in deception or bother to make it fit with the current character. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Out of all the people here, the alchemist seems the least deserving of such a treatment.”</b></span> She genuinely felt upset that the only person in this mess that she kind-off liked had gotten treated in such manner, which she surprised herself by. <br>
<br>
That said, she decided to leave it at that, as she didn't want to start up a fight amongst their group. At least not one that was worse than what was going on right now. However, there was one thing that was bugging her. She turned to Nissa. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I doubt a creature that's lived here for so long would run into Boggearts like that. She was in true pain and seems to be close to death, which I doubt is a trick. I'm not saying it's impossible for something to go that far to trick us, but I am saying it's more logical to assume the hag herself tricked us instead. Either way, I wouldn't consider the hag's words to be the golden rule. Also, don't forget, for all I know, I could count you among those creatures of the swamp. We're just as much strangers to each-other as I am to that rabbit and there's very little reason for me not to slay you in an equal manner right now.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
On the topic of the rabbit, Kalina did have a bit of a soft-spot for cute. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Make sure to keep her warm.”</b></span> She told Scylla. All things considered, she didn't know how to keep someone alive, but she did know one thing, which was that being low on blood made your body temperature drop quickly. If she wasn't an undead, she'd have died from it a few times by now, every time she'd gotten particularly thirsty. Instead, she just ended up feeling suspiciously cold to the touch, which would probably be the case right now as well, with how long she'd been going around these marshes. <br>
<br>
However, as they'd been fighting, talking and going through the motions of drama, the sun had been setting. It wasn't easy to spot, as the many trees in these Overgrown Marshes made it shady and dark by default. However, right now, it was getting particularly dark. Enough so to start bringing the torches out. The sun was setting. Kesh would be the first to hear it in the far distance. <u><a href="https://youtu.be/plVRg5X7UW4?t=480" target="_blank" class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FplVRg5X7UW4%3Ft%3D480&amp;hash=96b58d1013b7209851dbcc49daa6fb03" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">Wailing.</a></u> The wails of screaming and insanity, of hatred and fear, of panic and grief. Nissa was the next one to hear it. It was still quite a way's off, but it was getting louder and louder with the last of the light fading. It might even be getting closer.</div>

Kesh listened to the others discuss what they wanted to, despite still being Cayde's arms, she could listen in on what they were saying. The Ratkin released her teacher then moved to listen to what everyone was saying, she was glad her teacher still saw Kesh as an equal, despite her uselessness. The weird lady, Chandra, started talking, saying that Cayde did not deserve anything that he went through, which was a cruel act. He did say he saw that Kesh was dying and he couldn't help. Chandra stated that it was Clarice, in which Kesh's ears perked up hearing it, the Ratkin felt anger in the pit of her stomach, her face contorted in expressions of anger staring at Clarice. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Why would you do that?</span></b> " Kesh asked with a hint of anger in her voice. She felt her anger rising as her hands clenched into fists, her claws digging into her skin, causing some blood to surface. The Ratkin wanted to attack her, she never really felt this emotion before, it was a deep feel of resentment, so bad that Kesh could only think bad things. Her close friend, Cayde, was basically attacked and put through a traumatic episode of watching Kesh die. <br>
<br>
The Ratkin was trying to calm herself down, but she couldn't help it, this emotion was too strong for Kesh to try and let go. Hatred. That was what this emotion was, something Ratkin don't usually feel. Kesh dashed forward in a sprint towards Clarice, her eyes full of hatred for her. Kesh leapt forward, her feet attempting to land on her chest before backflipping and kicking Clarice in her chin <b>[Acrobatics E]</b> before landing on the ground before her, whether it knocked Clairce on her bottom or not did not matter, what did matter was that Kesh's point was made clear. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Don't ever do that to, Master Cayde again! </span></b>" Kesh pointed her finger at the woman, her eyes were teary eyed, she was full of emotions she hadn't felt before. But on another note, Kesh actually pronounced his name right for the first time. But then something caught Kesh's attention, her head turned quickly as she could hear wailing in the distance. The night was coming, but Kesh couldn't make out what was making it. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">There's something screaming. </span></b>" Kesh stated, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">It sounds... Terrible. It's coming.</span></b> " Kesh could tell it was approaching where the group was at.</div>

Baharius scowled at Nissa's response with disdain, his jaws chattering as they eagerly awaited to sink into her uncaring flesh. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"You didn't even give her a CHANCE to pled her case."</span></b> he growled coldly, struggling to keep his fury from digging into her pale skin and piercing her open like a melon. It didn't help however that he could feel certain thoughts attempt to intrude into his head; scenes of a brutal familiarity. He didn't even feel or notice Clarice's finger poke his adrenaline-filled hide... It took him a moment to realize what they exactly were. They were visions his past life, faint but unmistakable.<br>
<br>
The nightmares were back.<br>
<br>
His doubts and fears were trying to sprout from his sub-conscious, during a time in which they were dormant. Each time he blinked, a new hazy scene would pop for merely a second at a time, coinciding with intrusive thoughts and voices blaming him for the actions taking place. Why were these visions popping up now? Why at this very moment? It didn't make sense.<br>
<br>
As he attempted to push them back to the depths of his mind, he finished his statement towards Nissa, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"It was the very least we could've given before deciding whether or not to put her down! You forget that the hag didn't say we HAD to kill~"</span></b><br>
<br>
The vampire then proceeded to talk more, all in the same "cool and collected" smugness that oozed from her lips.<br>
<br>

In a way, she was correct. Most creatures wouldn't take kindly to any intruders demanding that they leave their homes. Especially if they lived here throughout the majority, if not entirety, of their lives. But he wouldn't consider this an impossible feat. As the Hag hinted before, there seemed to be other ways in having the neighboring creatures leave; whether it be through sheer intimidation, or bribing them through promises or compensation. To Baharius, the paladin seemed reasonable enough in her current stable form to be persuaded to leave the premises without utilizing violence. Only if she reacted with violence would he slay the uncompromising monster; but not before.<br>
<br>
As he was about to relay these thoughts, once again the insufferable vampire interrupted his train of thought.<br>
<br>

Assuming he was finished, Baharius opened his toothy maw to finally speak his mind. Just as he did, he could see Nissa's expression rapidly morph from the pompous and haughty individual into what he could only describe as sheer terror and fright right before his very eyes. It was as if her soul had been suddenly possessed by something... or someone. Was this the work of one of the creatures of the swamp? The beast hesitated for a moment, still holding her in the air, finding himself perplexed by her sudden reaction.<br>
<br>
Scylla attempted to scorch the vampire, still clasped within the spined-beast's mighty grip, with her fiery arrows. With such a sudden reaction, Baharius had only a moment to act before he too would find himself pelted with flaming projectiles, only to see the entire event backfire as a harmless puff of smoke.<br>
<br>
That's when he finally heard Clayde meltdown in front of them, barely holding himself together as an avalanche of raw feelings spat from his mouth. He too had seemed to have envisioned something... something that shook the very essence in his core. His wrath was enough to grab Baharius' attention and intimidating enough to extinguish his own anger bubbling within. As he took a mere moment to process this information, with another glance towards Nissa's paralyzed form being enough to draw several lines together. Someone... or something... had telepathically beamed these thoughts and fears into their heads. Was it the hag who did this from beyond the fog? Maybe the mysterious fourth creature hiding in the dark depths of the swamp? Or perhaps... it was someone from within this very group.<br>
<br>
With a grunt, Baharius proceeded to drop Nissa back to the floor like a sack of rocks, shaking his head to regain his composure. That's when Chandra finally entered the conversation, hinting that Clarice was the individual responsible for their visions. Baharius gave a cold stare to the latter at this revelation, but said nothing more. He simply must be wary when near her for now on, to ensure this doesn't happen again. Then Chandra responded to Nissa's speech.<br>
<br>

Either way, I wouldn't consider the hag's words to be the golden rule. Also, don't forget, for all I know, I could count you among those creatures of the swamp.

</blockquote><br>
Baharius nodded, considering her words to best represent his feelings. Nonetheless, he decided to finally take the opportunity to speak his part while he had the chance.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"If this would've turned out to indeed a trick, then consider me fooled."</span></b> he told her frankly, lowering his voice back to a more calm and elaborated manner. He then turned to face the others, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"I would take blame for trusting her. I simply wanted to listen to what the rabbit said before trying to have her to leave this place alive. But make no mistake. Had she turned feral and responded violently, I would strike her down for the safety of us all."<br>
<br>
"But here we were given the rare opportunity not to resort in violence. She seemed willing to listen to reason, in the state that she was anyways. We did save her after all; it would be proper courtesy to hear her story. Remember, the hag didn't state that we HAD to kill each inhabitant...  just to have them leave the premises through any means necessary. Perhaps a few gold pieces would be enough to send the paladin on her way. If it didn't, so be it. <b>I can't say that would work to the other three creatures still out there, but here I assumed it was worth a shot. Not every problem needs to be solved with a blade carving into someone's ribcage... That is all."</b></span></b><br>
<br>
Once finishing, Baharius glanced down at the fallen paladin with a solemn expression. She wasn't dead, not yet, but she was in critical condition. She was teetering between life and death, kept alive only by Scylla's efforts. Bless that witch. But so long as the paladin didn't morph into the were-rabbit, they should keep her at bay. He thought about having someone transport her out of the swamp, but neither of the party would be able to do so until the hag's quest was complete. In the meantime they simply had to keep her in stable condition until they can figure out what to do with her.<br>
<br>
By now, the day has finally turned into the early evening hour and it had been getting dark. Baharius didn't visually recognize the change at first, but his skin could certainly feel the gradual drop in temperature. As he considered getting firewood and making a fire, he could hear Kesh make an ominous statement. She mentioned something terrible coming... something that was screaming. The saurian rose his head, trying to listen for the noise, but couldn't properly hear it yet. Though he remembered about what Nissa told her about the Banshee's, regarding their nasty wailing. Once he finally heard it, he winced at the terrible noise echoing through the marsh. If this was indeed that thing coming towards them, it was best that they start getting prepared. He gripped onto his blade's handle and watched silently into the dark woodland depths with a cautious eye.</div>

<br>
In all her rage, Scylla attempted a spell that was quite beyond her level of expertise, perhaps it was due to the sheer amount of emotion coursing through her body and her lack of focus that the spell failed. A plume of smoke emitting from her staff, and a descending ‘ZIIING!’ sound could be heard. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“UGH!!”</span> Scylla scowled as she kicked the ground, with frustration. At this time Nissa wasn’t important, vengeance would never make anything right, no matter how much the witch could try to pulverize the vampire into a pile of ash. It also seemed that the others found it in their hearts to consider reason. Not that both reason and heart mixed well very often. <br>
<br>
Taking the rabbit palidin in her arms, she continued her broken hearted grief, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“I.. im so sorry, i.. i dont even know your name.” </span>She recalled as she ran a hand atop the rabbit’s head. Her eyes, were now shut, and her breathing labored, but she was still alive. As far as Scylla could tell. <br>
<br>
Just then Chandra calls out to her to keep her warm, Scylla would look up at her and nod before embracing the rabbit closer to her body. At this point, Scylla was only trying to save the rabbit, she’d have nothing to say to the others of their actions. <br>
<br>
As everyone continued the infighting however, no one had noticed the atmosphere begin to darken, closing her eyes Scylla used<b><i> [Control Environment] </i></b>to keep her own temperature warmer than the atmosphere around her, still embracing the rabbit in her arms fondly. <br>
<br>
After some time, chilling shrieks would emit from deep within the swamps, repeating their eerie chorus as the sound seemed to get louder, and louder. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"W-what was that?"</span> She asked as she looked back down at the rabbit, considering what she should do. If she stayed with the Rabbit this way, she'd be at the mercy of whatever danger it could be.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">((Note:  Having invested only 63 Points in Stat Upgrades, Cayde is an E-Grade Character per the IH Rules.  D-Grade Characters must have invested 70-104 Points in Stat Upgrades.  Ergo, Kingmaker E would affect Cayde as much as it would affect Nissa unless the Narrator specifically objects to the effect: magnifying fear.  Except in the case of Baharius, Character Grade is largely irrelevant given the command.))<br>
<br>
<b>[Initiate Skill Contest: Clarice’s Investigation (Grade F) Versus Chandra’s Disguise (Grade F)]</b><br>
<br>
Assuming Investigation F and Disguise F negate each other…<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">Oh, so I take it that sexual assault is perfectly acceptable in your book, Kate?  I can’t say I’m all that surprised considering you aren’t human.  The fangs are a dead giveaway, though you do a half-decent job of disguising them.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">Clarice ripostes, totally nonplussed by Chandra’s rapidly degrading opinion of her.  “Clarice, tinkering with people’s minds is morally reprehensible!”  “Clarice, you should stand slack-jawed and mute as people assault each other in various ways!”  Bah!  If Chandra is hellbent on staking a claim to the moral high-ground, she is more than welcome to die on that hill.  Empirical evidence suggests Clarice would’ve run afoul of at least 50% of the group by simply proclaiming that she commands the power to control minds.  The majority of the first-years at the Ryken Academy feared, despised, or ridiculed her when she disclosed her repertoire.  It almost goes without saying that this kind of treatment is old hat to Clarice, but given that Chandra is actively attempting to misrepresent her nature, Clarice reckons that outing “Kate” will render her about as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.  From her perspective, she traded a whole lot of nothing for a hammer blow against whatever Chandra hoped to accomplish via her facade.  Serves her right for running her mouth instead of, y’know, actually trying to “keep [the paladin] warm” or doing anything genuinely productive.  Chandra can criticize Clarice until the heat death of the universe, but if she’s unwilling to address the problems sprouting, like weeds, around her - chiefly ongoing infighting - she’s as useful as lingerie on a lobster.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">And for the record, I did not beam thoughts into people’s heads.  I magnified your fears for the shortest time my abilities allow to stop you lot from fighting ‘n harassing each other by reminding you of what you stand to lose.  I did not force you to relive real trauma - up to and including your deaths: which is a standard segment of the Admissions Exam at the Imperial Academy of Logia.  In fact, I just warded a couple of your minds against mental tampering.<br>
<br>
So what I believe you were trying to say is, “Thank you.”</span><br>
<br>
<b>[Harness Thought Process Acceleration F to Preternaturally Enhance Reaction Times]</b><br>
<br>
At this point, Clarice spots Kesh flying toward her in a blind rage.  As Kesh starts her mad dash more than 20 feet from Clarice, Clarice has no difficulty tracking the ratkin and formulating a plan to deal with her.  While Clarice could strike her with a charge of mana, that probably wouldn’t be as fun as poking her in the eye like Professor Darven did shortly before forcing her to experience not just one but several of her harrowing demises - which reduced her to a semi-conscious, temporarily insane sack for a good hour and a half.  Then again, why not use Cayde against her.  To a layman that may sound impossible at this juncture, but if ya step back and look at the big picture, the solution is waiting just beyond the edge of the clearing for people whose feet aren’t being attacked by leeches to exploit.<br>
<br>
An aside: if Poppy’s condition resembled Kesh’s, the leeches and bacteria-ridden water had to be taking their toll by now.  Plague-bearing swamp critters plus open wounds plus bacteria-ridden water equals infection!<br>
<br>
Ultimately, Kesh’s ability to give chase does not matter as long as she cannot catch up to Clarice.<br>
<br>
<b>[Movement]</b><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">You’re welcome!</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">Clarice bellows as she pivots and begins to sprint in the direction of the unearthly wailing.  While she feels a pang of regret about leaving Scylla in a lurch, she isn’t about to stick around to duke it out with Kesh and Cayde.  It also didn’t help that Scylla just tried to blast a few extraneous holes into Nissa.  All Clarice can do to assist with the paladin situation is drop her backpack and cross her fingers.  With any luck, Scylla would have the presence of mind to remember that Clarice was carrying items like a tent, a bedroll, bottles of oil (some of this is on her person), spare clothes, and insect repellant.  There’s also the corpse of the other paladin that she wanted to cremate, otherwise lay to rest, or prep for transportation and resurrection.<br>
<br>
Well, the silver lining is that shedding the weight should help her stay ahead of Kesh as she baits Kesh toward what can only be Casper the Friendly Ghost.  The optimal outcome is ditching Kesh in the darkness and reaching a safe point from which she can observe the banshee for a little while before the rest of the party contaminate the scene and/or attempts to punch her lights out.<br>
<br>
Tally-ho!</span></div>

Nissa cocked her eyebrow at the witch. <span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"If you want to burn something, burn the whole swamp down with it," </span><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">Nissa replied with a shrug of her shoulders; not sensing a threat, she retrieved her blade and put it back in the scabbard as the witch attended to the bunny. <br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">Now turning to Clarice, </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"However, you are interesting I daresay that you are the most interesting one of the group," </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">Nissa paused for a second as she walked around the girl. </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"What was that some kind of mind control ability? I have to say that was a first, though I will have to keep my eye on you," </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">She smirked before clasping her hands behind her back as the wail was heard. </span></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)"><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Ah that is right on cue, the banshee smells death no doubt she will be here in a moment. If you want to save the bunny we best dispatch her quickly," </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">Nissa suggested drawing her blade still coated in the bunny's blood. </span></span></span><br>

(Kesh's current location would be where she's at if she doesn't give chase. If she does, she'd be right behind Clarice.)<br>
<br>
Although Clarice was correct in her assumption that leaving the leaches be wasn't the healthiest option, they hadn't spread disease far enough through-out the Ratkin to slow her down (perhaps they competed with too many already present diseases). As Kesh was the first to hear the Banshee, thanks to her heightened hearing, it was impossible for Clarice to start running towards it before Kesh picked up on the sound. (<i>OOC, contradiction in timeline.</i>) In the end, Kesh ended up missing Clarice by a hair due to being distracted by the sudden sound of the wailing Banshee, after which Clarice took her chance to sprint off in the direction Kesh' looked at, before another swing could come her way. Kesh was able to give chase and would eventually catch up (<i>OOC, higher speed+acrobatics to better deal with the rough terrain</i>) enough to scratch at Clarice's back (just before the latter would reach the Banshee) if she were willing to do so. <br>
<br>
Scylla could feel the bunny's heartbeat, now that she was keeping her close to her chest. Thanks to her environment control, it kept going and the rabbit's body temperature stopped decreasing. However, her assumption was correct. If she'd stay with the rabbit this way, she'd be at the mercy of whatever danger could be heading their way. In turn, if she wouldn't, she'd likely leave this bunny  to die. Would she be willing to risk her own safety for the sake of saving a stranger, no matter how cute and fully they might be? The only potential upside to this story, was that if this was truly a were-rabbit, as everyone still suspected, the bunny might be slowly regenerating on their own and recover in time, if she was kept in a stable enough situation. <br>

Kalina was surprised by how the biggest, scariest, lizardiest of them all turned out the most pacifist and reasonable at the moment. It made her rethink some of the biases she had towards him when they first met, that much was sure.<br>
<br>
Whilst Clarice wasn't able to see through her disguise, she would be able to mention the sexual assault. (<i>OOC: disguise vs. investigation is a tie, without any narrative advantage, the best Clarice would get is suspicion. Alternate Identity D also allows for visual changes. Only base physical dimensions (such as Kalina still being very tall in all her alternate identities) and base physical features (like tails and wings) are exempted from such changes. It's somewhat unclear what level of changes counts as 'base', but it seems hinted towards the large and highly noticeable features (tails, wings), so I'm ruling as a narrator that minor features like the fang feature would be included in strong enough Alternate Identities just like hair colour and eye colour would be and would hold up under F grade scrutiny, in this particular case especially so in combination with disguise.</i>) Kalina had her reply ready. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I had eyes on him for most of the time, he was shooting bolts at the Boggearts alongside me. I'm pretty sure whatever happened must have been due to that pet rat of his.”</b></span> She had no particular love for the rat, enough so to use what little she did spot to throw the rat under the bus, as she did like the alchemist enough to try clear this one up. Other than that, Kalina didn't think Clarice worthy of any more words. Besides, the girl was running head-first towards the sounds of trouble. For as clever as she was trying to be, she was acting pretty suicidal. <br>
<br>
Kalina smirked at the comment Nissa made. She realised she'd screwed up a little, but at least she had an excuse to use. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Why would I be surprised to see a monster act according to their nature?”</b></span> She bit back, using [Deception E] to add some verbal venom to her words. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“If we go by the same logic that you use for saying we should slay the bunny, I believe it would be wisest to slay you as well. Both of you might turn out to be abiding a chance to kill us, after all. So by the same contra-logic of awaiting further proof of hostility, the bunny is spared and so are you. I can't promise it'll stay that way for you though, if you pull a stunt like that again.”</b></span> She didn't understand how foolish a fellow monster could be. If any of those in the group had any sense of danger, they knew how dangerous most monsters were and how reasonable it would be to slay Nissa on the spot. It's why Kalina herself went through such lengths to hide her nature. Yet here they were... Perhaps her threat would make her fellow monster act a bit wiser, although she doubted it.<br>
<br>
As the Banshee approached, a thick mist proceeded her. Combined with the sun setting, it didn't take long before anyone to see little more than what was directly front of them (about two squares). Those with heightened senses or other abilities would only see marginally better. Furthermore, Clarice, whom was closes to the Banshee due to running towards it, would be the first see the creature itself in the midsts of the mists. The moment it locked eyes with her, Clarice would feel a splitting headache go through her, as if the creature's pain and rage tried to make their way into Clarice. Amidst the wailing of the banshee, she'd be able to make up some words, repeated over and over in-between the bouts of incoherent wailing. <br>

Even as Kesh left his embrace, Cayde still stood rooted in place. His head fell into his hands as the prickly hot anger dissipated, embarrassment quickly taking its place. He'd just let loose a wave of raw emotion in front of complete strangers! What would they think of him now? He could deal with their skepticism, but if this one slip-up had made him out to be the weak one, another one of those dreaded episodes was bound to happen again. Cayde shuddered at the thought; he couldn't let anyone see him like that again - he couldn't let <i>Kesh</i> see him like that again. He'd have to be better, and he knew very well the first step wouldn't be standing here, wallowing in self-pity. That's not what Zane taught him, and that's not what he was about to teach Kesh. Cayde sighed and rubbed the weariness out of his eyes before slowly reuniting with the others. He scrapped the thought of doing so with his mask on. Hiding from his fears was another thing Zane hadn't taught him.<br>
<br>
Only then would Cayde notice had dark it had gotten. He peered into the sky inquisitively, wondering how fast time had slipped by. From the group's tricky introductions, to the battle against the boggarts, all the way to his little tantrum, Cayde had thought it'd been maybe a couple of hours, yet the darkness encroaching on him suggested it might be the start of the evening. The gnarly trees only seemed to make it darker, causing a lump to form in his throat, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"<i>Spooky," </i></b></span>Cayde snickered to himself, although his pace had subconsciously quickened, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"<i>At this rate, I won't be able to-" </i></b></span>The ghastly wails hit him before his thoughts could finish. Only a banshee could make such ominous sounds, and much to his horror, it'd appeared way earlier than he'd expected. There was no reason not to rush now, and so, with his hair standing on end, Cayde did. <br>
<br>
It wouldn't be long until Cayde finally caught up with the others. He missed most of the conversation, including the reveal that Clarice was behind his vision, but from what he could see, it seemed the group had reached a consensus to spare the bunny. Knowing they came together to agree on something brought a slight smile to his face, though the contents of the conversation wiped it just as quickly. He glazed over the touchy parts, though mentally giving Kate a big thanks for sticking up for him, and decided to break up the scuffle between the latter and Nissa. Truth be told, he was already getting a bit tired of trying to diffuse Nissa's arguments. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Hey," </b></span>Cayde meekly called out as he stepped back into the opening, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Just had a bit of a cry, but I'm all good now." </b></span>He tried a chuckle, but it sounded more like he was clearing his throat, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Look, I should be the one getting slain for subjecting you all to my...thoughts. I'm sorry you guys had to see that." </span></b>He sighed, passing a hand through his hair, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Still, I made a promise to improve, and for that to happen, I need all of you with me. I can't let you try to kill each other, not when we're this far. Even if some of you are basically begging for it..." </b></span>He looked at Nissa for that particular comment but continued his monologue regardless, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"All I'm asking is for us to focus on the bigger picture. Then, when we're done with this, we're free - we can all go our separate ways. And if that includes killing someone, I guess you've got a lot to look forward to, huh?" </b></span><br>
<br>
With that said, Cayde turned his gaze over to Abha.  <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"First things first, I think we should have someone stay behind to look after our friend here. She's in a very vulnerable state, one that we put her in, so at the very least, we should ensure she stays in a stable condition. I doubt the Banshee will go after her, but whoever stays has to keep some distance. Far enough to let us deal with the monster, yet close enough to call out to us if something goes wrong." </b></span>He stated, glancing back at Kesh and Scylla. They seemed the most nurturing of the bunch, plus he had no doubt one of them would want to stay at the fluffy paladin's side. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"If she's truly the were-rabbit we're looking for, it's best if we keep her away from anything that can cause her to freak out. Otherwise, she'll turn, and who knows what'll happen next..." </b></span><br>
<br>
Cayde knew very well what would happen next. Someone had forced it into his head, and it'd been playing on repeat ever since. He shook the memory out of his head and tried to focus on the now. That was something he'd have to deal with in his nightmares. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Anyways, the Banshee's out in the dark. But not to worry, I can craft up some torches for us. Just keep an eye out for some fallen branches. The greener, the longer, the better." </b></span>Unlike Aston, he doubted there'd be any resin and pinecones readily available for his bushcraft torches, but alcohol and cloth would be an acceptable substitute.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"That's all, but I need you to remember one thing," </b></span>He said, holding up one finger in attention, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"The Banshee's probably not going to be as docile as Abha, but if there's an opportunity to solve this without violence, I'd say we should at least consider it. If we can't reason with her, then I'm sure you'll all know what to do." </b></span>As he awaited their input, he'd reach into his pack and prepare his tools for the crafting ahead.</div>

As Baharius readied himself for the next fight at hand, he paused for a moment to rest his eyes back on the fallen bunny. He knew that leaving her here would guarantee death at the hands of the horrors lurking within the swamp, even if she was stabilizing herself in her deep rest. Yet out of everyone here, the saurian felt the most guilty about what transpired. He claimed they were not going to harm her and yet harm came to her anyways; from their own party no less. He had failed to keep his promise, however loose that may be. However, there was one thing he thought he could do, at the very least, to make up for his party's shortcomings. Lumbering slowly forward, he'd approach Scylla with his head lowered in respect.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"><b>"I would like to offer myself as the paladin's guardian." </b></span>he proposed lowly to the witch, while taking occasional glances down at Abha, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"I failed to assure her that no harm would come by our hands. The fault is mine... and I want to rectify the damage as much as I can. Yet I do not trust anyone here in keeping her out of harm's way, aside from you. But you've already done much to stabilize her condition; I would hate to see you be burdened with her any longer. Thus I declare myself responsible in safeguarding her life with my own and assure that she leaves this swamp alive to see civilization. You have my word."</span></b><br>
<br>
He softly placed his massive clawed hand on the witch's shoulder and nodded. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"And thank you."</span></b><br>
<br>
Stating his piece, he walked over to the paladin and stood guard; as his long webbed tail wrapped around her perimeter to act as a safety barrier. He was going to see her out of this cursed place, no matter the cost. It was the least he could do.<br>
<br>
As Cayde proceeded to pass out torches, the saurian took one just as the fog began to roll in ominously over the party. Aside from just a foot or two, Baharius could barely see anything within the thick cloud of mist washing over them. Wisely, he used the butt-end of the torch to draw a circle in the mud around the unconscious paladin. That way he will know precisely where she is... or worse, where she SHOULD be, if he were to move out of range.<br>
<br>
Nissa would state about dispatching the banshee quickly if they were to save the rabbit, with the alchemist quickly stating:<br>
<br>

Baharius seemed rather surprised that at least one of the party members utilized his previous strategy in this instance. Glad to see he wasn't entirely alone in his stance, aside from Scylla perhaps. Nevertheless, he gave an affirming grunt of approval. Knowing nothing about banshees aside from what he heard, he had to make sure he was braced for anything. The creature's bloodcurdling screams certainly didn't bring him much confidence in the matter, yet he kept his nerve secure for now. With a torch in one hand and his blade in another, the saurian general stood his guard and awaited for her immediate arrival.</div>

<br>
<br>
Eye’s wide with surprise, Scylla felt she had managed to at least stabalize the rabbit paladins condition. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Very good, little bunny!”</span> She said with relief as she caressed the bunnys fluffy little face.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “You’re going to be okay, we just need to find you-“ </span><br>
<br>
Scylla suddenly looked over to see Kesh dashing towards Clarice, throwing her backpack aside with most of the necessary supplied they’d brought for this herbalist expedition. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Clarice, wait!”</span> She called out, but not nearly loud enough for her to hear. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Oh, dear.”</span> She sighed. <br>
<br>
Her attention then turned to Cayde who had suggested what kind of further care should be administered. She considered his expertise, after all, he appeared like a plague doctor. Perhaps he’d dealt with many of these cases. She’d assume. <br>
<br>
Scylla would nod in agreement, looking back down towards the fallen bunny paladin in her arms, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Very well, i dont mind staying behind, however, since i can most clearly navigate through these swamps, especialy with this thickening mist it’d be in your interests to have me, Cayde.”</span><br>
<br>
Just then, the Saurian appraoched her, a bit intimidated by Baharius' sheer size and large teeth. Yet, the witch would shed all form of discomfort when he began to speak, and even offer his help for the paladins care. What was more was his sense of duty and honor to his word. Scylla found that quite knightly of him.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Dearest, Baharius you are one in a million in this cursed place!"</span> The witch beamed,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "I accept your offer, i will try not to be too long."</span><br>
<br>
The eerie screams would grow in volume, and now a creepy mist was beginning to engulf the entire area, surely this is some kind of aura magic. She thought, but before the mist could thicken she quickly went to where Clarice had dropped thier supplies, and carried them back to the bunny. Opening up their pack she pulled out the bedroll, and placed the bunny paladin comfortably within. With a final glance, then looking up at Baharius, Scylla had lost most of her vision to the thick fog, but followed Caydes voice. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Hello? hello? Cayde?” </span>she said as her hands in front of her tried to swat away at the dense mist. Once she found Cayde, she'd ask,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Did you see where Clarice went? I think your rat friend ran after her, and now we can't find them."</span> Looking in the direction the other two had taken to.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..so it appears we’ve both lost our companions to the mist then. I agree with your suggestion to attempt to speak to this Banshee when we meet her..”</span> Her tone became a bit more impatiient as she began to lose her vision due to the mist. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"..lets hope this resident doesn't eat them first, though."<br>
</span><br>
<span style="color: #efefef">She then patted Cayde on the shoulder nonchalantly, "Oh! and its okay to cry, I do it all the time! As you can see?" She was still trying to just forget about earlier, shrugging she attempted a smile.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Maybe we should forget about the past? Maybe start over?</span></span><span style="color: #9365b8"> After your little moment back there. Didn't seem like something someone I had drawn you out to be would do. So I'm giving you a second chance." </span><br>
<br>
When another shriek emitted from the ever growing pitch black atmosphere the witch seemed to withdraw all of her limbs closer to her body.<br>

Kesh's attempt to make her point didn't exactly pan out, the Ratkin growled while her fists shook at her sides in frustration, going to chase down the sick individual that hid behind a mask of a conceitedness. But that scream that she ran towards, it scared Kesh. She gulped deeply and decided not to follow suit. That would be idiotic of her to do, besides she'd rather not run towards the danger. <br>
<br>
The Ratkin saw Cayde with a few other characters, that Scylla and Baharius. Before she walked after them, she saw the bag that Clairice had dropped and picked it up smiling, she thought digging through it to see if she could steal anything but decided now was not the time and walked over to the group seeing the witch, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Your <i>friend</i> dropped this. </span></b>" Kesh's voice wasn't exactly a happy one but she gave Scylla the bag anyways, looking to the rest of the group, Kesh already beginning to feel useless again, she didn't have much in terms of advanced skills but she wanted to help. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">What can i do to help-assist? </span></b>" She asked, wanting some guidance as pressed her hands together with a nervous smile.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Creepy wailing and fog so thick you could slice it with a butter knife?  Huh.  This banshee must be related to the ghost of Red Beard; they share a predilection for stagecraft, fog, and spooky noises and -<br>
<br>
Hold up, Red Beard’s ghost was just a guy in a pirate costume!  Maybe, just maybe, this banshee is also a guy with ready access to dry ice wearing a mask.  That’s sensational news!  Clarice ain’t slowing down for a monster that has a small chance of being a guy wearing a mask - not when there’s a much larger chance that an eye-gouging rat-thing hopped up on enough drugs to stock a modest dispensary is pursuing her with the intent to cave her skull in!  That’s not to imply that Clarice recognizes Kesh’s combat ability; she merely doubts that she could best Kesh, Cayde, and Kate simultaneously right now.  It has been a long and stressful day and the environment doesn’t compliment her bag of tricks.  She could do with some shut-eye.<br>
<br>
Unable to see more than a few feet in front of her and engaged in such frivolous lines of thought, Clarice nearly bowls the banshee over in her hasty withdrawal.  Only by the grace of some divine force did she manage to stop short of the banshee.<br>
<br>
Upon observing the banshee, Clarice stifles the urge to shout, “Zoinks!  It’s the Ghost of the Grandma Werther!” and pick up right where she left off: fleeing from her problems with all the celerity her legs can provide.   Bizarrely, however, the temptation to turn tail and continue running is fleeting.  She feels more connected to vengeful spirits than an amateur spirit medium on account of her past life, and even though this one doesn’t quite qualify as a vengeful spirit by her definition, it is still a manifestation of grief and pain that once was the soul of a human.<br>
<br>
The banshee locks eyes with Clarice.  Wrath and anguish, misdirected and impotent, flood Clarice’s mind.  In that moment, she cannot help but admire the spirit’s candor (and pointedly - perhaps even desperately - try to ignore the grotesque, vomit-inducing physical state of the thing).  Despite the headache that afflicts her, pure emotion, heartfelt and unabashed, cascades over her, for she will not be swept away by the undertow.  To look away or to accept these emotions as her own would grant the spirit a measure of control over her, no doubt.  No, only one real choice lies before her.  With a dash of inspiration, an arcane sign, and the stubbornness of a mule, Clarice seeks to dam the flow.  Wincing from the secondhand pain that wracks her body, Clarice raises her gauntlet to her mask and presses her fingers against cold, unyielding metal.  She finds her mind much more pliant as she turns the Kingmaker on herself.<br>
<br>
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.<br>
<br>
<b>[Action 1 - Clarice casts Kingmaker (E) on herself.  Duration: 1 Minute]</b><br>
<br>
With an exercise of power, Clarice breaks the tide.  Her eyes are immaculate pearls of void energy as she banishes the bestial snarl plastered across her face.  The banshee’s Empathic Projection shall clash with the <b>Supernatural Tranquility</b> of Clarice’s reprogrammed mind.  In the wake of this change, the banshee might find Clarice as passionate as a plant.  Then again, it might not even get that far if it relies on emotion to distinguish between creatures.<br>
<br>
Now, there isn’t one iota of emotion in Clarice’s voice.  When she speaks, her face is absolutely neutral.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">You are lost.</span><br>
<br>
A wayward soul cursed by the violent nature of its demise and the hellish thoughts that seized it as it breathed its last to forever wander the mist.  While Clarice might break the banshee’s hold on her with her own power, breaking its curse with magical might alone lies far outside of what she is currently capable of.<br>
<br>
This calls for a more insidious approach. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">Focus on your child.  Remember how sweetly he smiled.  Remember how you held him in your arms and marveled at the beauty and promise of the life you created.</span><br>
<br>
Common but memorable events to a mother.  Clarice is hedging her bets and bluffing for all she’s worth.  In this regard, her composure is as much a boon as a bane: her poker face is unrivaled but she can’t sell her pitch.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">Focus on yourself.  Feel the warmth of his tiny hands as they grab your fingers.  Feel your heart swell as you watch him grow.</span><br>
<br>
A logical transition, moving from the child to the mother while referencing the same sensory stimulation: a warm touch.  The contrast between the warmth, life, pride, and joy of the spirit’s past life might prove jarring enough to disrupt the hate that has consumed it, if only for a little while.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">Remember who you are - you who would do anything to protect him.  Feel your love for him well within you - a love so strong that it transcends death.</span><br>
<br>
Repetition and reframing.  Clarice hoped her droning monotone might have a sedating effect on the creature.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">Show your child one more kindness: show us the mother he loves.</span><br>
<br>
Finally, the imperative: an attempt to summon the spirit as it once was, not as it is.<br>
<br>
And if it did not respond favorably, Clarice would simply have to track downthe item binding it to this world and destroy it with impunity.</div>

Nissa rolled her eyes at kate's comment. <span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Right, right and that fear suddenly just disappears sure, sure." </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">Nissa replied as she was going to speak again as the wailing got much closer to them. Turning to face the direction that the sound was coming from, she smirked as she looked once again at her blood-coated blade before glancing over at the others. </span><br>
<br>
She didn't care much for the rabbit, to be honest as she saw it the threat was taken care of for now, though apparently the others were getting lost in the fog. <i><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Why are they always so useless? Though I suppose their hearing isn't as great as mine is. Only that stupid rat is probably on par. </span></i><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">She though to herself before making an audible sigh not really caring how loud it was.<br>

 </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Perhaps it would help if you used your ears, if you want to find this banshee before it finds the others I would suggest we go to the source of the sound." </span>Nissa suggested before starting to follow the sound of the wailing, though she had no intention on fighting this creature if it came down to it alone. Even she wasn't that stupid, though she was preparing for a fight right off the bat just to be safe. <br>

	</div></div>(Black-and white icons are defeated. Red ones are severely injured.)<br>
(Location of Cayde &amp; friends was a bit unclear, as they're supposed to be together, yet indicated heading in different directions. Putting them halfway seemed the most sensible.)<br>
<br>
As the mist thickened around them, it started to not just draw out their vision, but even sound started to feel muffled and dampened. Only the piercing screeches of the Banshee were able to sound through without sounding muffled or somehow far off.<br>
<br>
Cayde (and others) would be able to get some branches by cutting them off from the nearby trees, as the ones fallen to the ground were too soaked in swamp water to burn well. (Although there might also be torches among the supplies taken from Clarice, if they could find those.) The light from the torches would be visible through the mists, but it didn't allow them to look much further. It did, however, ensure they didn't also have to bother with the darkness. Kalina, despite not needing a torch, decided to take one as well, not wishing to stand out more than she already did.<br>
<br>
Baharius decided to take bunny-sitting duty upon himself. However, he decided to focus fully on standing guard with only his tail around the bunny, which would slowly yet steadily allow her body temperature to start dropping again, especially as the night was colder than it'd been during the day. Luckily enough, Scylla was wise enough to return with some of Scylla's supplies and tucked the bunny into a bedroll. It'd allow her to retain what little warmth her own body still gave off much better. <br>
<br>
Kesh was quick to join Scylla and Cayde, managing to use her higher senses to find her way through the mist a bit easier than the others. Overcoming her instincts, she even handed Clarice's bag to Scylla. They ended up finding their way around half-way towards the Banshee, as the mist made it difficult to locate things and they only had each-others muffled voices and feint torchlight to go by.<br>
<br>
Nissa, unlike the others, decided to try moving as far north as she could. Although the mist and encroaching darkness hindered her and sounds alone didn't help her avoid lose roots or muddy pits, she did manage to make it all the way to Clarice. She was just in time to spot Clarice initiate her self-mind-control. <br>
<br>
Clarice, meanwhile, had decided upon an interesting course of action, as she subjected herself to her own mind-control. She was correct in her assumption, as with the vanishing of her emotions, she became little more than a plant to Banshee. The downside of that, was that her words didn't ring through either. The first words seemed to come through, but as it went on in an emotionless way, the Banshee was quick to no longer even notice Clarice. <br>

<br>
It'd fallen back to the same routine as before, screeching way louder than Clarice could talk, until it spotted Nissa's approach. She raised one of her hands towards Nissa. <span style="color: #2F4F4F"><b>“Child of death... return him to me! Return him!”</b></span> The Banshee screamed, as Nissa would feel hatred flood into her mind, enough to cause a splitting headache. However, oddly enough, she'd also see images of sorts... perhaps it was her undead nature that allowed her to connect with another undead creature, but there was something... the problem was, it was all too unclear to make out. She'd have to be brave enough to embrace the feeling of her head being split in two and to fully focus on these emotions and the pain that were directed at her. Either that, or she'd have to try block it out instead, hoping it'd stop the pain and discomfort. <br>

Kalina, meanwhile, had joined up with Kesh, Scylla and Cayde. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I'm assuming none of you knows how to put a Banshee to rest?”</b></span> She said, after she managed to find them. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I've heard rumours that they cannot be harmed by weapons and even resist some magic, so if that's true, I've got no clue how to deal with it.”</b></span> She was feeling quite useless, having no clue about what they were up against and no means to deal with it. <br>
<br>
As they were talking, however, Baharius would suddenly see <span style="color: #00FA9A">Scylla</span> return from the mist. She came from the other side of the tree, but there had been enough time past to assume she could've just gone around it. She looked a bit panicked. <span style="color: #00FA9A"><b>“I'm sorry, I've changed my mind. I can't just leave the bunny behind. Besides, you're strong, you'd be a better match against something as frightening as the Banshee.”</b></span> <span style="color: #00FA9A">Scylla</span> was smart enough to ensure that Scylla, Cayde and Kalina wouldn't hear her talk. However, she hadn't accounted for one tiny detail. Kesh, would, all of a sudden, hear Scylla's voice from near Baharius, despite seeing Scylla stand besides her. She couldn't make out all the words, as the mist muffled them too much, but she could hear that there was something odd going on.</div>

The Ratkin stood before the group while she fiddled with her hands, trying to see how she could be useful. She didn't have many talents that would help, Cayde was a better alchemist than Kesh, she herself had weaker healing compared to Scylla, she was fast sure but that could only get you so far. Although she did hear something weird, Kesh's ears perked up and her head swung up, she could hear Scylla despite her being with them right here. Kesh moved over to the witch and pulled on her sleeve with a raised brow before looking at Cayde and pointing towards where she heard the talking. Kesh then did a <i>Ratkin Frontflip</i> <b>[Acrobatics E]</b> and landed in front of Chandra (Kalina) with her hands on her hips and a worried look on her face. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">I hear the witch's voice by the large lizard guy. </span></b>" Kesh pointed in the direction of where she could hear the voice. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">It's strange. I can't hear everything they say but they speak weird-odd.</span></b> " The Ratkin spoke taking Chandra's hand gently into hers, her eyes a bit worried. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">You must believe me. You are weird. You do things I bet we can't see or know.</span></b> " Kesh stated, which was a weird way of trying to get someone onto your side. Either way that last sentence was a strange one to be said at the least, like Kesh was trying to say she knew Chandra wasn't who she said she was, which Kesh had doubts about the strange shy girl, but she wasn't too sure. <br>
<br>
Then something hit Kesh, her eyes widen as she released Chandra's hand, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">The rabbit!</span></b> " Kesh didn't even realize Chandra's hand was cold like a corpse's if that was the case. Kesh turned heel and ran in the direction of both Baharius and Abha, making her way around a tree to see Baharius and Abha there in a clearing with the fake Scylla, Kesh knew it! She knew she heard Scylla! "<b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"> Large-big lizard guy, Balthazar!</span></b> " Kesh called with fearful eyes, pointing at the new Scylla, "<b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"> That isn't the witch, Stella!</span></b> " Kesh told the large lizard, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">That's a sus imposter thing!</span></b> " Kesh was sure, she just saw the real Scylla. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Stella is with us over there and I heard a talking but couldn't hear it right then I came here and now I see-spot the faker-imposter.</span></b> " Kesh tried to explain to the large lizard. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">And I'm not a faker-imposter because I can do this!</span></b> " Kesh then hopped up and backflipped, landing on her feet performing a <i>Ratkin Backflip</i> before having her arms out staring at the massive Sarian.</div>

</b> (Kesh) |<br>​</div><hr><br>
Baharius' offer to stay behind was gladly accepted by Scylla, who quickly placed the bunny into a bedroll before disappearing into the mist with the others. The saurian was once again completely alone, guarding the unconscious paladin diligently like a dragon to its horde of treasures. Only the faint ambience and the piercing cacophony of the banshee's screams madly crying in the distance accompanied his stay. Despite this somewhat unnerving ambience, the beast did not move an inch from his spot; simply scanning the few feet that he could see directly in front of him and sniffing the air instinctually. His blade was in his right hand, ready to be wielded in the event something tried to attack him. While he hoped they would return sooner rather than later, Baharius would wait for as long it takes. <br>
<br>
Yet after what felt to be no more than a few minutes, he would find Scylla return to him in a rather panicked state. It seemed a bit odd that she would return this soon, but nonetheless he rose his head cautiously to meet her's. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"What's wrong?"</span></b> he asked in a concerned tone. Scylla stated how she had a change of heart and that she just couldn't leave the bunny behind. He offered that Baharius would be better off fighting the opponent in the mist. The saurian initially cocked his brow at her response, seemingly confused at her offer. He knew she was also rather attached to the rabbit herself, but for her to drop everything this soon just to be with her? He was inclined to believe her judgement - after all he did state how she was the only other person in the group to take care of the paladin. <br>
<br>
Even so, Baharius didn't dare move from his spot; his body tensing up just ever so slightly in response. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"I told you not to burden yourself with her further."</span></b> he replied lowly, his voice now firmer but still sported a hint of understanding, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Take care of this 'banshee' first and then~"</span></b><br>
<br>
Suddenly, Kesh would sprint out of the fog, alerting the saurian that the Scylla talking to him is in fact a fake. The saurian's heart sank as he took a second look at this vile imposter. He already thought she was acting rather a little exaggeratively for her likings... but to think he was nearly fooled by this apparition made his blood boil. Was this the work of the Banshee? His slit-eyes glared coldly at her, like a parent protecting its child. Carefully, Baharius positioned himself over the bunny to shield her from what he assumed was an attempted acquisition, making sure not to accidentally crush her under his immense bulk. He made sure to not leave eye contact off his foe's for even a second, his tail even wrapping around to his front to further obscure the bunny from view. A guttural hiss from his maw announced his intentions pure and simple. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"><b>"In that case." </b></span>the spined saurian growled towards the imposter with gritted rage, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"She's fine just where she is."</span></b> <b>[Intimidation F]</b></div>

			<div itemprop="text">
				
					<div class="bbWrapper">Clarice takes no pride in her minor victory over the banshee.  Likewise, she is not disappointed when her speech has no discernible effect on the undead creature.  She is not alarmed when Nissa emerges from the fog nor does she fear how the banshee's abilities might muddle Nissa's mind.  In truth, she is incapable of feeling much of anything.  For now, she is a biocomputer.  For now, she is a machine.  For now, emotion is utterly foreign to her; logic drives her forward.<br>
<br>
For Nissa, she spares a terse statement in the same droning monotone that lost the banshee's interest.  Completely unaware of Nissa's query about her Mind Control on account of supernatural sound damping, she assumes she need not retread old ground.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">This creature relies on Emotive Projection to identify and assault its targets.  I am not certain whether this technique is designed to induce madness in its victims, leech their emotions, or render them vulnerable to possession.  I wager it is also capable of Sound Manipulation.  All of this bodes ill for us, given its incorporeal state.</span><br>
<br>
Clarice pauses as if in deep thought.  She glances from Nissa to the banshee and then again.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041">The others fault you for attacking the paladin.  If you lose yourself to this thing, they will put you down.  They are naive; they do not appreciate your pragmatism.  Even the former soldier is disgustingly soft.  We can both agree that they aren't survivors; they're prey.</span><br>
<br>
To Clarice, the sound damping is as much a hinderance as an opportunity, for she could not risk speaking so frankly in front of the whole group.  As long as the banshee's insufferable wailing does not drown her out, she shall avail herself of the advantages this environment affords.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041">I am no stranger to the harsh realities of this world; I am just as willing to do what is necessary to survive as you are.</span><br>
<br>
<b>[Action 1 - Clarice visually inspects the banshee using Investigation (F).]  </b>Clarice attempts to determine if the banshee is the source of the fog.  If the fog becomes thicker near the banshee, this is evidence that the banshee is indeed the source of the fog.  Clarice also looks for rime, withered plants, or anything that might mark the banshee's trail.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041">Specters can be permanently banished by lifting their curses.  The easiest way to accomplish this is locating the item that tethers a specter to this world and destroying it.  Often, it is part of the specter's body or a prized possession from its past.</span><br>
<br>
It's Occultism 101.  Every sailor knows how ghosts bind themselves to the material realm.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">I doubt that the child this specter seeks lies within this swamp.  If this is the case, we have only one recourse.  We need to figure out where this banshee materializes every night - the place where its tether is located - and destroy it.<br>
<br>
I will try to give you the opportunity to slip away and circle around.  If you choose to remain, you know what I intend.</span><br>
<br>
Having recognized a pattern in the banshee's behavior, Clarice steps between Nissa and the banshee and spreads her arms wide.  If her hypothesis is correct, the banshee requires line-of-sight to transmit its emotions to its targets.  By positioning herself between Nissa and the banshee, she hopes to block line-of-sight and momentarily screen Nissa from the banshee's Emotive Projection.  After a split second elapses, Clarice attempts to sprint in the direction the banshee approached from - which she will attempt to deduce by means of its orientation when she first encountered it, any clues she detected previously, her assumption that a ghost, much like a bird, travels in straight lines, and her [Magic Affinity].<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: null">[Action 2 and Action 3 - Clarice attempts to identify and move toward the banshee's origin point, briefly moving between Nissa and the banshee while doing so.  If Nissa moves with her, Clarice attempts to keep Nissa in her sight.]</span></b></div>

Cayde wasn't expecting Baharius to volunteer, nor did he expect Scylla to come over and make amends with him. Both were very pleasant surprises. What wasn't a pleasant surprise, however, was the strange fog that had rolled in, further obscuring his vision and muffling every sound. It hadn't silenced the Banshee's bloodcurdling wails, he noticed, or the thumping of his heart in his chest. Regardless, he managed a wide, warm grin in Scylla's direction, although he had doubts she'd even be able to see it. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Thank you, Scylla. That's all I needed to hear," </b></span>He said warmly, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"I'll tell Kesh to keep her paws to herself in the future. No promises, though. She's a bit of a slippery one, y'know?" </b></span>As for her previous question about Clarice, Cayde could only offer a slight shrug of his shoulders, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Can't say I've seen Clarice anywhere. She was already gone by the time I got back." </b></span>He explained, moving his torch about the fog. It did little but illuminate the dark silhouettes of Scylla and Kate. Curiously, Nissa was nowhere to be found. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Actually, didn't Lyse say she was heading up to find the Banshee? Maybe she and Clarice found her. It'd explain why the Banshee's yelling so dang much." </b></span>Then, as if on cue, another otherworldly screech echoed through the swamps, shaking him to the core. Cayde grimaced, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"I think we should take care of that now, yeah?" </b></span><br>
<br>
Before he could, Kate's and Kesh's input brought an intrigued look to his face. However, he couldn't touch up more on Kesh's observation, as she'd already bolted off into the mist. Unlike last time, he had a clue where she might've ended up, though that still didn't stop the concern from creeping onto his face. Now he was starting to think she <i>really</i> w<i>anted</i> Zane to kill him. Cayde shelved those thoughts for the moment, addressing Kate, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"If we can find whatever's keeping her from moving on, maybe we can think of something." </b></span>He shifted his eyes around, trying to find a solution, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Maybe she'll give us a few hints to what it is? I doubt she'd want to stay in these musty swamps forever." </b></span><br>
<br>
Upon finishing his thoughts, Cayde peered back into the fog behind him. Kesh still hadn't come back, and that didn't do much to curb his anxiety. He reckoned that she couldn't have gone far, but the urge to trudge through and find her was still strong. He'd already lost her once; he wasn't planning on reliving that again. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>If you two stick together and follow the screams ahead, it'll hopefully lead you right to the Banshee," </b></span>He said, turning to face the direction Kesh had left, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"I'm gonna try to grab Kesh and get a look-see on what she heard." </b></span>He took a breath and began his trek, but not before waving back to two, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Gimme a few minutes - I'll be back in a bit."</b></span><br>
<br>
With that said, he'd make his way back where he came, utilizing his <b>[Perception]</b> to hopefully stay on course <b>[3 right, 5 Down]</b>. But, of course, the fog did him no justice, and neither did the makeshift torch in his hand. A lantern would've been much better - a lantern, Cayde knew, that was somewhere in the muck ahead of him. He hoped he'd come across it, but as the trek ended, he saw the massive silhouette of Baharius standing in the darkness. Cayde assumed Kesh was close by. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Kesh? Baharius? You two o-"</b></span> His eyes eventually found another figure standing some distance away. He was too late to hear its voice, but their form seemed oddly familiar. His eyes squinted in suspicion as he took a few tentative steps forward, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Who are you?"</b></span></div>

A bit puzzled the witch looked at Kesh who appeared from the mists. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"You hear <i>the </i>witch? But <i>IM</i> the witch! What do you mean?"</span> Looking at Cayde a bit puzzled she asked, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Is your friend okay?"</span> before the rain jumped suddenly to which Scylla flinched a bit. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Hm?! Hey I'm right here?" </span>she stammered quite confused, but before long Kesh yelled <i>the rabbit. </i>To which sent a chill down the witches spine as her eyes widened with concern. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"What?! We must-" </span>but going through this dense mist was quite difficult to navigate through. Assuming Kesh went to warn Baharius, Scylla had to trust. If everyone started splitting away, they'd be much more vulnerable. And it there was some kind of trickery here regarding copies or shades of anyone in the party, it could easily lead to so much confusion. She decided to go against her protective instincts, although she was reluctant to do so. <br>
<br>
This was when Chandra asked about whether they had any understanding of how banshees were anchored to the realm of the living. A little light bulb lit above Scyllas head.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "I remember something vaguely in demonology class, loosely referring to horcruxes. They are anchored by some kind of karmic tether to either a deceased person, or to an item. Usually its difficult to understand them, as they are the embodiment of sinister intention."</span> She scratches her head,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Thats about all I can remember, really."</span> she chuckles nervously, likely because she wasn't paying much attention when her teacher was giving the lecture, she was busy perfecting a love potion, a secret she would never tell about, until the time was right. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Well, its not likely this banshee will simply<i> shoo! shoo!</i> if we tell it too. Theres likely a reason why its here and there certainly is a way, but its quite the mystery i'm afraid." </span><br>
<br>
She quickly took a torch and lit it with<i> <b>[Fire Affinity]</b></i>, and helped others in the party within her proximity who needed theirs lit as well. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"I don't think it wise to simply go up to it without some sort of plan. Any ideas? Perhaps we can start looking around for an item, or even a corpse in the waters?" </span></div>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/oip-10-jpg.1018859/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/955/955989-2a0b8391ae7057c7376b54449901ca55.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--left" style="" alt="OIP (10).jpg" title="OIP (10).jpg" width="100" height="145" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
<span style="font-size: 15px">Nissa made her way through the fog, not caring if the others heard what she said or not. In her mind, the quickest way was to get rid of the creatures here. Moving in the direction of the wailing, she gripped the hilt of her sword tighter as she prepared herself in case something came at her from the mist. To be honest, she was getting annoyed with the mist, it was hindering her vision which she didn't normally have to worry about. Though this was a different case to say the least. <br>
<br>
As she got closer to the wailing Clarice and then the banshee came into view. <i><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Well I guess she found the banshee first, though I guess that isn't the worst thing in the world. </span></i><span style="color: null">She thought to herself before the banshee then pointed to her and spoke as she felt an assault upon her mind, a rather familiar feeling outside of the pain. Gripping her head with her free hand she gritted her teeth. Then Clarice spoke in a rather computer-like fashion devoid of emotion which caused Nissa to tilt her head to the right for a moment. <br>
<br>
Nissa then started to try and resist the assault upon her mind, </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Stay out of my head!" </span>She ordered trying to push back the feelings and the images the banshee was trying to force upon her. Glancing over at Clarice she let out a small sigh, <span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Well at least someone can agree with me on something, we will do it your way but after this we are going to have a discussion," </span>Nissa concluded as she knew this wasn't going to be a fun fight nor did she feel like getting into melee with a creature she probably wouldn't be able to hit. <br>
<br>
Then Clarice stepped in between her and the Banshee, taking a deep breath she would follow behind Clarice as she moved to keep the banshee from line of sighting her as she followed Clarice. </span><br>

If Kalina's cold hands hadn't been a give-away, her shock probably was. In a short moment of being distracted, the rat managed to ratflip out of the mist and suddenly grabbed her hand. Knowing the possible implications, she pulled it loose and took a step back, only to realise that'd only worsen things after the fact. She had no clue what this rat was talking about and didn't like this at all, as she didn't even have a decent reply ready. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I'm not half as weird as you though.”</b></span> That was all she could come up with, although in the end it sounded more like a question than a statement. She was still as confused when the rat suddenly ran back to Baharius and the rabbit.<br>
<br>
Cayde's idea regarding the Banshee sounded plausible. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I've got no clue how the thing would communicate if all it can do is wail, but if it's like a spirit seeking to find its way to the afterlife, perhaps you're right.”</b></span> It was worth a short. Oddly enough, Cayde then told her and Scylla to go after the Banshee, rather than join him in making sure his pet rat was okay. She nodded when Scylla backed up what Cyade had said, adding the idea of some sort of anchor point. She had no clue what to do with it, but it was something at least.<br>
<br>
However, Kalina had to shake her head regarding the plan. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I honestly have no idea how to deal with it. I doubt we'll find anything in this swamp, especially as we don't even know what we're looking for. It might just be buried in mud and water as well. Besides, shouldn't we go after whatever the rat claimed is impersonating you first?”</b></span> However, as she said it, she and Scylla would suddenly hear something worrying. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Wait, the wailing is getting louder... is the Banshee coming closer?”</b></span><br>
<br>
Meanwhile <span style="color: #00FA9A">Scylla</span> silently clicked her tongue when Baharius didn't want to hand over the paladin. Stubborn lizard. Perhaps she should up the stakes a bit. <span style="color: #00FA9A"><b>“Okay, fine. I'll admit I just don't trust you. You would've let her cool down until she'd die if I hadn't tucked her into that bedroll! After turning around, I instantly started to wonder if you hadn't done something stupid to her!”</b></span> She'd barely finished talking when Kesh showed up. <span style="color: #00FA9A"><b>“What? An imposter? What are you talking about? Didn't you hear me shout that I'd go back for the bunny? This darn mist is muffling everything too much... wait? If there's someone impersonating me, we should hurry back to the others, they might be in danger!”</b></span> Although Baharius did send a shiver down her spine, that was all his intimidation did. When Cayde arrived, she yelled at him, sounding a bit frustrated. <span style="color: #00FA9A"><b>“I'm Scylla, of course! Look!”</b></span> She held up her shirt, which was covered in blood. <span style="color: #00FA9A"><b>“I've still got the rabbit's blood on me from when I was pressuring her wounds! We've got to get back to the others and deal with this imposter! Please tell me you haven't left anyone alone with them?”</b></span> <br>

Meanwhile, further to the north, Clarice was still going on an emotionless tour. The wailing would draw her out completely and utterly, so she'd have to break up her sentences and try to get them through during the short pauses in the Banshee's wailing. It was possible, but it'd take a fair bit more time. From her investigation, she'd get some seemingly conflicting information. On the one hand, the fog seemed thicker around the Banshee, but on the other hand, it didn't seem to conceal her all that much. Just like how her wailing wasn't muffled by the mist, her appearance didn't seem to be all that affected by it either. There was nothing that indicated the spectre's trail, as even the area directly below the Banshee didn't show any hints of her being there. In fact, there weren't even any footsteps left in the marshy grounds. The best way to deduce where it might've come from was to travel directly in the direction she travelled from. In the same line as they'd travelled towards her from where Kesh first picked up on her wailing.<br>
<br>
Her hypothesis was correct, to a degree. As she got in-between Nissa and the Banshee, the ferocity of the attempts to invade her mind suddenly decreased by a lot. It didn't go away altogether, not until Nissa also made a conscious attempt to drive out the Banshee as well. The latter stopped the headache and made her feel clear-headed again. Oddly enough, as they past by the Banshee to travel in the direction it'd have come from, the Banshee didn't seem to start giving chase or even turn. Instead, it looked towards its original path and started moving forwards again, towards the others. Once again, it started wailing. <span style="color: #2F4F4F"><b>“My child... give him to me... my child... give him back.. my child.. bring him back... my child... return him... my child... give him back...”</b></span> <br>
<br>
As Clarice and Nissas traversed through the swamp, with Clarice tracing the magic lines to avoid getting lost in the swamp, they'd soon see the mist thinning and heard the volume of the wailing decreasing. However, that was about all they saw regarding the banshee. As it was dark in the swamp, even without the mist (and with torches if they had them), it was difficult to make out much of the environment.</div>

</b> (Cayde)<br>​</div><hr><br>
Scylla's tonal whiplash wouldn't sit right with the protective saurian, as he flared his gums to expose his jagged teeth in response. She already was beginning to sound a lot like Nissa, utilizing a haughty high-ground and gaslighting Baharius purposefully to get what she wanted. Yet if this was truly the real Scylla, this sudden 180 wouldn't quite make sense for her character. The simple oversight of not covering the paladin with something warm like a bedroll was a simple oversight calmly corrected by the real Scylla; which he thanked her for. After all, he had seen her actively counter the vampire's similar "cold" ideology and had otherwise treated him rather respectfully. This alone, supported by his belief in Kesh's claim and his stalwart nature to protect the paladin at all costs, was already enough to firmly convince him of her identity.<br>
<br>
As Cayde appeared onto the scene and asked the fake who she was, she continued to claim her validity and pressed into the fact that they should help with the others and find the imposter. Baharius, again, would not budge. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"I have already stated my current responsibility to her."</span></b> he stated firmly, adding a hiss of anger into his statement, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"I am not leaving her side until I get her out of this swamp; a deed only to be done once the other three threats have been dealt with. What do YOU plan on doing with her if I decide to give her to you now, in the middle of a conflict with the BANSHEE no less?"</span></b><br>
<br>
He gave a look at both Cayde and Kesh to come hither, giving a bob of his head and a chuff. If they were to come close, he would say quietly to the two, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"I need you two to mark this imposter, in order to distinguish her from the real Scylla. Wound her, hex her, blight her... do anything that you believe can alter her from the other individual. I will stand guard over the paladin and ensure she doesn't take her. If it becomes too much for us to handle, I will roar for the other's assistance... and hope they will come. I have an awful feeling this imposter might have to do something with our current foe... or perhaps, dare I say, with the mysterious fourth creature."</span></b></div>

<article class="message-body js-selectToQuote">
			
				
			

			<div itemprop="text">
				
					<div class="bbWrapper">Magnificent, yet another "discussion" awaits Clarice.  Why not dub that interaction a lecture, negotiation, or strategy meeting?  Why conceal its nature when Clarice, in the absence of intel, can only assume the worst?  It isn't like Clarice can skip town or -<br>
<br>
Or can she?<br>
<br>
If Clarice can traverse the swamps, what's stopping her from simply leaving?  Admittedly, the hag claimed none could depart, but the cryptic scraps of information it provided thus far were dubious at best and half-truths at worst.  If the hag severed a thread to trap the party here, what would be required to repair it?  Wouldn't the powers residing here consider such sabotage a breach of this ancient pact the hag asserted it could not break?<br>
<br>
While these questions are worth exploring further, Clarice concedes that they are best left to a more peaceful stint of time.  Currently, other matters compete for her attention.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">I'm afraid poor visibility has put me off the scent, Lyse, but the flora and fauna bore witness to the banshee's passage.  I can compel the fauna to guide us.</span><br>
<br>
<b>[Action 1 - Clarice recalls information regarding the processes by which fog forms and dissipates using Physics (F).]</b><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">Should that fail, we need only search for water droplets and residual moisture left by the fog.  Time is of the essence, so this option is suboptimal.<br>
<br>
Can you help me locate a suitable animal?</span><br>
<br>
Without a light source, Clarice would have difficulty perceiving this moisture with any sense excepting touch.  Given that a hostile tree ent dwells in this area, Clarice would prefer not to run about hugging trees.  On the other hand, every second she dithers is another second the banshee can assail Scylla, and Clarice predicts that, unlike Nissa, Scylla's sympathy for the banshee would doubtlessly win out over logic and good sense.<br>
<br>
But seeing as the banshee did not pursue them...<br>
<br>
Is the banshee's condition no different from the paladin's?  Perhaps it is the third victim in this sick game.<br>
<br>
The first victim: the corpse.  Sex unknown.  Affiliated with the same order as the paladin.  Distinguishing feature: a pair of horns.  Little else known about its identity.<br>
<br>
The second victim: the banshee.  Formerly female.  Searching for child.  Linked to the first victim?<br>
<br>
The third victim: the paladin.  Female lagomorph.  Mission unknown.<br>
<br>
...<br>
<br>
Was the paladin journeying toward the banshee?<br>
<br>
Clarice searches for a nocturnal animal while mulling over the situation.<br>
<br>
<b>[Action 2 - If Clarice locates a nocturnal animal/nocturnal animals, she harnesses the Kingmaker (E), commanding it/them to show her where the banshee came from.]<br>
<br>
[Action 3 - If Action 2 is a resounding failure (i.e. if she does not cast the Kingmaker), Clarice begins checking trees, reeds, and other plantlike for abnormal moisture while continuing to forge ahead.]</b><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">Lyse, do you believe that we discovered the paladin along the route the banshee was patrolling by sheer coincidence?  I discovered the corpse of a second paladin in the area.  Looked to be a horned </span><span style="color: #e25041">beastfolk.  Cause of death unknown.  Either killed by those monsters you fought or scavenged after death.  The banshee didn't appear to be a beastfolk nor can humans and beastfolk interbreed.<br>
<br>
On the off-chance it's all connected, there's more to our quest than meets the eye.</span><br>
<br>
Clarice begins to connect the dots.  The design she envisions is not complete, but it remains plausible<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041">Even if that isn't a point of convergence, I suspect that we've been tasked with bumping off previous wish-makers.  Think about it: if the banshee wants its son back, why wouldn't the hag return it or a simulacrum of it and cut out the middleman?  Furthermore, the swamp clearly did not favor the paladin.  That allows us to eliminate the possibility that the prohibitions of an ancient pact bind the hag unless the pact binds the hag directly, not the swamp...</span></div>

Cayde was still taken aback by the doppelganger's attempts to fool him. Not only had the blood staining its shirt earned a visceral reaction from him, but its strange portrayal of Scylla was just as shocking. He may not have known much about the real Scylla - other than her quirky personality and assumed love for cake, but her friendliness couldn't be denied, especially regarding Baharius. From what he could see, the two got along, which was something the impostor had forgotten to replicate. It made that clear from how quickly it snapped at his scaly ally. Now Cayde didn't need any more reassurances: this wasn't the friendly witch apart of his team nor the woman who'd given him a second chance. This <i>thing</i> was not Scylla.<br>
<br>
Then what was it? Baharius seemed to have the answer, Cayde stepping over to him as the saurial whispered his thoughts. His eyes went wide at the mention of the fourth monster, and whatever hair wasn't standing was surely at attention now. The Banshee was already here, the supposed were-rabbit was too, and now, to top it all off, he had to worry about the possibility of this entity being the fourth monster. The creature that he knew absolutely nothing about - the scariest one of all. <br>
<br>
He gulped down his growing anxiety and nodded along to Baharius' suggestion. He hoped this impostor was just a byproduct of the mist, but if it w<i>as </i>something corporeal, he agreed that a little blemish in its disguise would go a long way. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"I'll send Kesh to give it a little slash on the legs. I'll even give her some poison to make it <i>really</i> obvious." </b></span>He muttered, pointing to his pack, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"We're gonna have to distract this thing a little longer so she'll get there with no issue." </b></span>As for the real Scylla, Cayde had a plan to identify her, too, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"When we meet the <i>real</i> Scylla, I'll craft something <i>we'll all</i> be able to use to identify her." </b></span>He glanced over to the impostor and back to Baharius, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Thank God it didn't copy Lyse," </b></span>Cayde scoffed, some humor entering his voice, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"With that attitude, it would've fooled me!" </b></span><br>
<br>
However, jokes would not identify the monster, so Cayde beckoned Kesh over. He'd hide behind Baharius' massive frame as he fumbled around in his pack, pulling out the ingredients necessary for his <b>[Bewildering Brew], </b>including the most skin-irritating herbs he had<b>. </b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Kesh, I'm gonna need you to do something for me," </b></span>He whispered, his hands working on crafting the potion, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"I'm gonna give you my knife and some poison, and you've gotta sneak over there and give that thing a cut or two - somewhere we'll be able to see if it pops up again." </b></span>Once he finished, he handed her the finished product and his unsheathed knife, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Baharius and I will give you a distraction. After that, go in, coat the knife with this, and have at em'" </b></span>He nodded, though it still felt as if he were missing something. <br>
<br>
Cayde quickly realized it: he'd given Kesh all this responsibility and hadn't even given her any encouragement. He was horrible at encouragement. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Look, I know I'm asking for a lot, but you're the only one I can trust to get this done."</b></span> He said warmly, a familiar, goofy smile forming on his face. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Plus, I made a promise, didn't I? If that thing lays a finger on you, we'll chop them off and make it into a potion. How's that sound?" </b></span>A bit graphic for his tastes, Cayde knew, but the weirder, the better. Such was the way of an alchemist.<br>
<br>
Drawing away from Kesh and exchanging a nod with Baharius, Cayde would stand to face the impostor, hopefully drawing attention to himself. He tried to make his face as neutral as possible, yet his eyes were almost squinted shut, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Yeah, <i>Scylla</i>. The Banshee's somewhere up ahead, doing who-knows-what," </b></span>He shrugged, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"I mean, the rabbit's safe here, is she not? Where else do you think we should put her?" </b></span><br>

Likely the ratkins doing. Scylla shrugged but then Chandra suggested they’d go after Cayde.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Kesh <i>WAS</i> acting a little strange wasn’t she? Perhaps we can make a stop to the others, maybe some kind of clue will appear.. magically.” </span>Although she certainly felt like she was in danger, her chipper self seemed to always shine through. Only to be contested by the eerie shrieking of the banshee that seemed to be approaching.<br>
<br>
Scylla was becoming quite concerned for her friend and trusty colleague Clarice. And although she was tempted to call out to her, she wouldn’t want to risk the Banshee suddenly appearing by giving away their location then quickly becoming the one that truly needed to be helped. Without a solid lead of a plan, they'd surely be at the apparitions mercy. Scylla looked out into the mist nervously before finally turning to Chandra.<span style="color: #9365b8"> “Right, lets go back. This is creeping me out.” </span>She’d state’s finally as she held the pack in her hands. <i><b>[1. Move 2 squares left, 4 squares down]</b></i><br>
<br>
Scylla's eyes glowed a violet hue as she navigated through the dense mist,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Uhm, how likely is it that Kesh might have been, well, you know, hallucinating or something?" </span><span style="color: rgb(239, 239, 239)">Par</span>t of Scylla was a bit incredulous of what the Ratkin could have seen or heard, her senses appeared to always be altered by one substance or another.<br>
<br>
Once arrived, and within range of sight, she couldn't believe her eyes, almost even wondering if Kesh had in some way, shape, or form had intoxicated her with some kind of funky narcotic. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"What in golden-egg-laying-geese?!?"</span> She exclaimed, her eyes wide as she dropped the pack in her hands. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"The rat was right! its.. its.. ME!"<br>
<br>
"Hey! You!" </span>She called out to the other<span style="color: rgb(239, 239, 239)"> Scylla,</span><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Who the heck are you?! And why are you ME?! </span><span style="color: rgb(239, 239, 239)">Then a sudden realization made her blood run cold, what if this was the fourth 'resident' they'd been told about? Scylla was tempted to simply attack, but she didn't know what </span><span style="color: #efefef">exactly the others might have said to her or if they believed anything that came out of its mouth. Then the echo of the wailing banshee echoed through the swamp, turning around quickly then back,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Great. Very funny, but we don't have time for this, you copy-cat! Now take that guise off so we can get to the bottom of this.. I wouldn't want to hurt.. me." </span></span></div>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1662434544145-png.1019450/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/956/956580-cb1c386a8cbfae7ed1289952dbff9697.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1662434544145.png" title="1662434544145.png" width="100" height="114" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Kesh was watching the fake witch, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">You're a liar! A dirty-nasty liar! You're like a ugly-gross version of Stella!</span></b> " Kesh yelled while waving her Rat fist at the imposter Scylla. Kesh had ideas of stopping the imposter before it got to be too much. Although she didn't want to harm the imposter, it looked too human and like someone she knows. Although with the arrival of Cayde and Scylla, Kesh felt better, now that the real Scylla was here. Kesh faced her teacher with a happy smile on her face. <br>
<br>
" <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Master Clyde! </span></b>" The Ratkin sounded happy as well, she even did a <i>Ratkin front flip</i> and landed it. She watched the alchemist speak to Scylla then turn to her in which Kesh raised a brow saying that he had a important thing for her to do. She smiled but it soon turned into a frown, a more sad frown, she didn't want to hurt anyone but she understood why she could do it. Kesh nodded without a word and took the potion and knife, looking at them. But she smiled weakly and hugged Cayde, making sure not to stab him with his own knife. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">I'll do my best. </span></b>" Kesh pulled away and placed the items on her belt looking at her ring as it glowed. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"><i>I must Conceal-Hide Away!</i> </span></b>" Kesh's ring glowed for a moment and she disappeared like the wind. [Conceal-Hide Away! E] In her current state she would take the knife and potion and poison the blade, making her way over to the imposter that was Scylla. Thinking that she had to do this to protect Cayde and the others, but mainly because Cayde asked and he's done so much, despite her already killing a couple boggarts. <br>
<br>
Getting near the Scylla, Kesh looked around the imposter and got to her side, staring at where she could stab her or cut her. But Kesh had a different idea. She could end it. Right here. Kesh was nervous. She didn't know if she could or not. She was tall enough to reach her neck... She'll try to stop the danger. Kesh gulped and brought the knife up, looking at the neck of the Imposter, Kesh would swipe forward, looking to slash her neck open while taking a step sideways to move behind the witch. <br>
<br>
Conceal-Hide Away! - E - Magic Affinity E, Undetected F, Magic Duration F: Kesh uses her abilities to hide away from both people's sight and having the ability to suppress her sound as well. This effect lasts for 1 minute. (1 Post Cooldown)</div>

Clarice and Nissa are off of the map in the direction of where their icons are.<br>
<span style="color: #00FA9A">Scylla</span> is slightly off the map in the direction of her icon.)<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #00FA9A">Scylla</span> was far from happy by the lizard's response. She clicked her tongue, realising her attempt had failed. The rat calling her out like that showed the others were hostile as well. All of that thanks to that pesky rat having way too sharp of a hearing. <span style="color: #00FA9A"><b>“She won't leave until she fulfils her mission and her success is in my interest.”</b></span> That's all she said, before turning towards the sound of the Banshee, noticing it was coming closer. <span style="color: #00FA9A"><b>“You're naïve and idiotic, don't let the monsters among you kill her.”</b></span> The creature's true colours were showing through, as it practically hissed the words whilst turning and sprinting off. It wasn't stupid, after all, as it could see that Baharius, Cayde and Kesh were discussing things even though the mists dampened their whispers. Although the mist was covering up their exact movements, it could even see Cayde was rummaging through his stuff. Considering it'd been exposed, it didn't like where this was going and wouldn't wait and find out. Although it didn't seem immune to the mist, it seemed familiar enough with this swamp to be surprisingly fast despite the low visibility, making its way off before Cayde could finish his potion.  <br>
<br>
Scylla and Kalina arrived just in time to see it run off, with Scylla being able to yell out her words the the fleeing creature. Although Kesh would be able to follow its footsteps in the damp ground, it would be difficult to catch up, as the mist made tracking someone a much slower process than it would otherwise be. That said, considering she was invisible, there was a chance she'd be able to eventually catch <span style="color: #00FA9A">Scylla</span> off guard, assuming she dared to pursue her for far enough away from the rest of the group. It was pretty likely the creature wasn't expecting an invisible pursuer, all things considered. <br>

However, there was another problem. As Scylla and Kalina got a bit closer to talk to and see the others, they could once again hear the wailing of the Banshee. This time almost directly behind them. Chandra, having followed behind Scylla, turned around only to end up staring directly at it through the mists. For a split second, their eyes met and the creature seemed puzzled. Then, it screamed the exact same words towards Kalina as it'd screamed at Nissa. <span style="color: #2F4F4F"><b>“Child of death... return him to me! Return him!”</b></span> As it did so, Kalina could feel a splitting headache arise, accompanied by a plethora of negative feelings. Hatred, pain, fear, anguish... She grabbed her head as she fell to her knees, trying to cut off these thoughts and feelings. However, as she was being subjected to it, she started to see some sort of images. Even though she was in quite a bit of pain, the moment a bit of curiosity drew her to them, she started to see things more clearly.<br>
<br>
A frontier settlement recently settled along the shore, bordering the swamp on the other side. Some sort of clergyman going door to door. A woman with a newborn, who for some reason had one finger too many on their hands. The newborn being ripped out of the mother's arms and brought into the marshes, whilst the mother herself was burned alive at the town's square. The few short visages she was seeing were enough to make sense of what had occurred and how this vengeful spirit came to be; as if the creature had been trying to communicate in the only way it knew how too; through the endless negative emotions it was experiences. Kalina even gained a feint awareness of a location, another memory of the mother perhaps, an altar in the swamp. One upon which many similar cases had been sacrificed in these swamps. However, she'd only barely gathered that information when she could feel something wrong. These emotions were too strong. They were taking hold of her, as if taking her over. She was starting to lose herself in them, as the line between who she was and who this Banshee was, was fading, blurring, slowly being erased. Her... son. They'd taken her son... She suddenly heard the Banshee wailing in two voices, only to realise one of those was her own...<br>
<br>
A fair bit away from them, Clarice was on her own quest. She knew enough about physics to know that this instance wasn't natural. It didn't seem to come from the Banshee itself, but instead be forced to arise from the ground surrounding her. It seemed more logical to assume some sort of water-magic was being used, instead of a natural phenomena. Clarice would find a few nocturnal animals, after being far enough away from the Banshee for them to no longer be frightened by them. A few frogs, some sort of lizard and even a owl. However, the creatures just stared at her blankly, regardless of which of them she'd end up using Kingmaker on. Either they were unable to comprehend the command or they didn't know the direction either. <br>
<br>
Clarice would find moisture on pretty much all plants. It was a marsh, after all. A few would seem particularly moist, but in the dark, it was difficult to spot a pattern or to figure out if that was really due to the Banshee's passing or not. For what it was worth, she did manage to accidentally grab a particular reed covered in green slime. It was probably a thing called Frog's Fountain, for the fact that it looked like frog slime was flowing out of the top of it, which was of moderate value to the botanical department as the slime had some properties that helped against burns, similar to aloe vera. <br>
<br>
(<i>OOC side-note: beast and humans can interbreed. It'd give birth to an aberration. It's not common, but not unheard of to the degree that Clarice would've never heard of it.</i>)</div>

</b> (Scylla)<br>​</div><hr><br>
Baharius' glare was steadfast on the imposter, refusing to break eye contact while he whispered his plan to both Cayde and Kesh. As the alchemist began rummaging through his pouch to brew up a concoction, the saurian knew the apparition had lost the element of surprise and saw her continue unwinding her true colors with venomous pronunciation. They were rather ominous in their presentation, but the Saurian showed no signs of visible fear. Indeed, she had to be related to the banshee; no question about it. And as the shrieking cries got ever closer, the imposter began to flee the vicinity just as Chandra and the real Scylla came into the picture, with Kesh in hot pursuit. Baharius breathed a sigh of relief once she saw the witch come into view, relieved that the apparition was not a possession. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Thank the gods,"</span></b> the saurian muttered, as his tension began to lessen just slightly. He only hoped that Kesh would return quickly as well, for Cayde's sake at least.<br>
<br>
Still looming over the rabbit in defensive formation, the saurian turned to Scylla herself. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"That imposter was after the rabbit,"</span></b> he explained worryingly, as his expression turned towards the misty depths to the west, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"I have little doubt that this was the work of that banshee and that she wants her for whatever dark purpose within her twisted mind. We must be prepared for~"</span></b><br>
<br>
Another bloodcurdling shriek echoed through the marsh, this time sounding much closer than before. Baharius winced in pain, as he irritably shook his head to mitigate the brief tinnitus ringing through his ears. From the sound of it, it felt like it came directly behind Scylla herself... yet it also sounded very familiar. It sounded like Chandra! A sudden wave of realization shocked the saurian's system, his heart sinking deeper into his stomach after realizing what must've happened. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"SCYLLA, BEHIND YOU!"</span></b> the beast bellowed as he quickly took <b>2 steps behind him</b>, still carrying Aba under him.<br>
<br>
It would seem to him that Chandra had now been compromised by the loathsome Banshee, just faintly making out her image from the mist. Time has ran out. Now it was time they faced her head on. Baharius leaned slightly upward, tightening his grip on the blade while cold sweat dripped from his body. <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"><b>"She's here..."</b></span> he muttered dreadfully. He didn't desire to fight one of his own, even if possessed by an evil power, but he was willing to do whatever it takes to protect the paladin. He only hoped that wherever the hell Clarice and Nissa were at this time that they return soon... or better yet, found a way to defeat this shrieking monstrosity.<br>

<br>
Nissa glanced around, rather bored, as she turned her back to the girl and sat her pack down, the injury from earlier still itching. she then took out a glass jar before moving behind a tree and taking a sip of the blood, attempting to use it to heal herself and close the wound from the fight. <br>
<br>
Afterward, she would then step out from behind the tree, <span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Once again, I place my faith in the hag because she is probably the most powerful creature in this swamp. If she is simply cleaning the swamp of failed wish takers then I don't see an issue with it. But, it is easier to side with the stronger ones than to fight the losing battle, dead men tell no tales and that is something I would like to avoid," </span>she concluded as she waited to see where the next part of this trip was going to take her. </span><br>

After the impostor's hasty departure, Cayde realized two things: He was none the wiser about the creature's true identity, and if it were to show up again, there'd be no way to discern it from looks alone. Its words were just as haunting as its speed, Cayde sure it'd appear again to fulfill whatever scheme it had in mind. Maybe under the guise of another one of his allies, he imagined. Or, if his luck was exceptional today, appearing as a copy of himself. The image made him shudder; if <i>that's</i> how the creature portrayed Scylla, he didn't want to see how it'd depict him. Nor did he want to see what tricks it'd pull under the cover of his skin. <br>
<br>
He'd worry about that later. For now, he steadied his breathing and returned his gaze to the mist, searching for Kesh. He figured she was still invisible somewhere, yet the growing fear that she was still pursuing the impostor hung in his mind. Cayde still hadn't a clue what the creature's true potential was, so he couldn't leave Kesh all alone with it. If something had happened to her here, when she was out of sight, and especially out of reach, he'd never forgive himself. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Kesh!" </b></span>He called out into the fog, hoping she was close enough to hear his voice, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"It's gone! We'll worry about it later - come back!" </b></span>Whether his plea would find her or not, Cayde would hear a familiar voice behind him. The same voice the impostor used not too long ago. <br>
<br>
It was Scylla - the <i>real</i> Scylla, he hoped. Of course, it was still possible this was the same interloper as before, or this Scylla was somehow an illusion spawned from the fog, but Cayde decided to go with the option that would spare both his anxiety and his sanity. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Scylla! Just the lady I wanted to see,"</b></span> He said urgently,<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b> "Hold on, I need to give you some-"</b></span> Another ghastly wail, this one much closer, silenced him before he could finish his sentence. Even worse, it seemed as if the screams had doubled, yet the cadence between them was off. It sounded foreign and, strangely enough, familiar. Finally, the realization hit him like a wave, and his teeth clenched, disbelief forming in his voice, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"It's Kate..."</b></span> He shook his head, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"The Banshee, it's got Kate!" </b></span><br>
<br>
Cayde's legs kicked in before his head did. He'd follow the silhouette of Kate, and before he knew it, he was standing behind his fellow crossbowman <b>(4 Left, 1 Down)</b>. Her screams and the Banshee's filled his head and pounded at his ears, but Cayde tried his best not to pay them any mind. What mattered now was saving Kate and getting her away from whatever spell the Banshee had put her under. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Come on, you'll never get that prize in this state..."</b></span> Cayde muttered as he tried hefting her arm around his neck, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Let's get you out of here!" <br>
</b></span><br>
There was no way Cayde was leaving her behind. After saving him twice and sticking up for him, Kate was one of the few in this group he'd gladly call a friend, and even if the rampant suspicion had denied him that privilege, it still wouldn't matter to him. She was a part of the team, and the team's well-being was paramount. But, Before he'd start dragging her off, he'd look over to the outline of Scylla behind him, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Hey, Scylla! Can you help me out with this?" </b></span><br>
<br>
Provided Scylla (or anyone available) would assist him, Cayde would attempt to drag Kate away from the Banshee (<b>1 Down, 3 Right)</b>, hopefully far enough to regain her bearings.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">And only a Sith deals in absolutes.</span><br>
<br>
Clarice quips, not missing a beat.  Like a hyperactive bee, she flits from plant to plant, running her fingers along their rough surfaces as she feels for water droplets.  As this line of inquiry wears on, she diverts more and more of her attention to the lizard and barn owl staring dumbly at her.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">*Shriek!*</span><br>
<span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">*Hiss.*</span><br>
<br>
Somewhere along the line, they must have liberated themselves from her Mind Control and opted to gaslight her for her hubris.  They possess object permanence, they heard the banshee, and they understood her command, so why are they holding out on her?<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041">That banshee isn't a psychic construct, you know.  By all accounts, it manifests nightly - presumably at its tether, for the tether, well, tethers it to the Material Plane.</span><br>
<br>
The blank expression scribed across the owl's face is irrefutable proof that she still doesn't get it.  The lizard is gazing quizzically in multiple directions - a hallmark of an F-Student.  Alrighty then, she'll give them one more chance to atone for trying to pull a fast one on the incredible Clarice.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041">This banshee is essentially a klaxon; she outputs alarming sounds at high decibel levels.  You can't tell me you're not smart enough to know where the alarming sounds come from and how to avoid them!  That's basic survival stuff!<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">*Screeech!*</span></span><br>
<span style="color: #e25041"><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">*Hiss!*</span></span><br>
<br>
Clarice exhales loudly and presses her index finger and thumb against the bridge of her nose.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041">Don't drink the water, Lyse; there must be lead in it.  I've met koalas more intelligent than these two, and I can only chalk that up to brain impairment.</span><br>
<br>
Shoot!  Well, Clarice isn't giving up yet!<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">I didn't want to do this, but...</span><br>
<br>
<b>[Action 1 - Clarice extends the index finger of her gauntleted hand.  As motes of white light collect at the end of her finger, she casts Beginner Magic: Glow (from Magic Affinity (E)) and attempts to tack on Duration (F).]</b><br>
<br>
It might not be as effective as light from a torch, but it'll do in a pinch!<br>
<br>
<b>[Action 2 - Clarice resumes her investigation, hoping that the light she produces will be sufficient to illuminate additional clues.  Swamp, marsh, or bog, dew formation under these conditions is unnatural and a sure mark of the banshee's passage.]  </b><span style="color: null">Clarice is too invested in her search to notice when Lyse steps away for few seconds.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">Circling back to the hag, I doubt it is the most powerful creature in this swamp.  If you trust it, then you tacitly recognize this as it stated it was bound by something.  It is that something we must appease; all others are secondary.</span><br>
<br>
Clarice flat out ignores the slime-covered reed.  She's fairly certain that's not ectoplasm, and she isn't enough of a botanist to suss out the plant's true value.  In her view, it's gross and likely poisonous, a reason to accelerate her search rather than allow herself to be distracted from it.<br>
<br>
There must be something she is missing here - especially if the animals are this dumbfounded.  Perhaps they overshot the tether?  If there isn't a tether or, bare minimum, a locus, then this is as much of a ghost as the Ringling Brothers is a law firm.  It really is as simple as that.<br>
<br>
And once again, the possibility that the banshee is just a guy in a mask rears its ugly head.</div>

As Kesh got near the Scylla fake, she realized that it began to already move out, just as she swung her blade and missed. The Ratkin looked shocked a bit unhappy with this, feeling cheated honestly. She had the setup and everything. But Kesh was already on a mission, she would not falter! She already promised that she would do her best. The Ratkin wouldnt back down, she wouldnt useless anymore! Against her better judgement... Kesh... Felt conflicted. She wanted to chase after the fake Scylla to try and stop her but what if... What if that happened to someone to the group? What if they had a impostor of another.<br>
<br>
Kesh gulped and growled, they should have never came here... Kesh just wanted some stuff to steal and some more schooling. The still invisible Kesh turned to face the group and headed on back, hearing Cayde's voice did fill her with joy, as soon as she got closer she could hear something else, was that that screaming from earlier? Still invisible, Kesh headed towards the voice, she would see that weird Chandra and some strange old monster looking... Monster! Kesh's eyes widen, this couldn't be allowed to happen! Kesh charged in, still hoping her invisibility was up and leapt up over the banshee, it smelled... Disgusting she thinks? In the middle of her jump, she would slash the banshee's eyes with the dagger Cayde had given to her [Acrobatics E]. Landing on the ground, Kesh moved away to try and avoid any sort of retaliation. Kesh didn't want to hurt anyone or anything but she can't let people get hurt or die or anything else! She just wanted to go home now, she's already killed some beasts she didn't want to.</div>

<br>
After watching the other 'Scylla' disappear into the mist, a puzzled look took over her features, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"That was<i> definitely</i> some kind of mimic spirit!"</span> She assumed, before once again visibly pondering like some kind of detective, pacing to and fro quickly.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Hmm, it must have some kind of interest in my cute little bunny, considering it decided to mimic me, it's likely been observing us, waiting for the perfect time to interfere.." </span>But that left one question, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"..but why? What could that thing possibly want with the bunny?" </span><br>
<br>
Before she could audibly think her thoughts through however, Cayde called out to Kesh, which in turn reminded her of Clarice once again. Looking around a bit through the dense fog a bit hopelessly, she couldn't help but call out to her, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Clarice! This isn't funny! Don't ditch me yet!" </span>Putting a hand on her hip, she shook her head, half worried and half optimistic.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Where could that little lady have gone too?"</span> She wondered,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "She wouldn't just leave me here to fend for myself would she?!"</span> The sudden realization, that she was alone with a group of strangers made her step a bit closer to Chandra. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Uhm.." </span>she muttered.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Well, I hope she's safe." </span><br>
<br>
Then Cayde began to address her,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Oh? You wanted to see me? For what?" </span>She said tilting her head with immense curiosity, maybe it was a gift? Maybe candy? Or the plant she'd been looking for in these swamps?! She wouldn't know.<br>
<br>
It had been seconds before the Banshees shriek would blast through the forest once again, when Baharius yelled out to her. Looking back suddenly, she could only briefly make out the silhouette of the horrible creature, however it seemed the effects of the Banshees affliction had affected Chandra who was standing right behind her.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "H-hey look out!" </span>Not really thinking about  much else other than, the thought of eventually being the last one here.<br>
<br>
After Chandra dropped to her knees, Scylla immediately grabbed the stranger and pulled her up to her feet as best she could, soon after joined by Cayde. Looking at the Plague Doctor she started, her voice a bit panicked, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"We need to do something about this Banshee! It's going to drive us all mad! I don't fancy my mind getting messed with by that thing!" </span><br>
<br>
<b><i>[1. Move, Follow next to Cayde, with Kalina]  </i></b><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"I really hate to think that we'll have to resort to more violent means.."</span> She said solemnly,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "..I-i  don't know what could have happened to my colleague! What if the banshee ate her?!?!"</span> Clearly she wasn't thinking very straight, Scylla was desperately searching her mind for some kind of answer.</div>

<br>
Baharius successfully backed up with the rabbit, although carrying her like this was somewhat uncomfortable and he'd backed up far enough to only see the vague shape of Scylla and to no longer see Kalina. Only the ghastly appearance of the Banshee was somehow still visible through the mist. <br>
<br>
Cayde would realise that it wasn't necessarily <span style="color: #00FA9A">Scylla's</span> speed that made her successfully retreat, but the fact that they'd been openly hostile towards her, before trying to come up with a plan and brewing potions, giving her a sufficient head-start in terrain she was experienced with. However, were they to have caught her off guard, they would likely be able to catch her. Perhaps they'd get another shot, now that they were prepared and had their plans ready.<br>
<br>
Cayde and Scylla were successful in dragging away Kalina. She didn't resist, although she didn't cooperate either. She merely got dragged along rather lifelessly. Although she'd only passed out, her undead nature was likely to make it look like she'd passed way. Only Cayde's knowledge on medicine would allow him to realise she'd been dead long before the Banshee got to her, were he to try first aid on her while Scylla was panicking about Clarice.<br>

As for Kalina herself, she'd nearly lost herself to the visions and feelings altogether. It felt like the inside of her mind was thoroughly scattered and scrambled. An attack not of physical nature, but one that attacked something else, a spirit or soul, or perhaps just a very specific part of the brain. It was only when she got pulled away and when the Banshee was distracted by something that she snapped out of it, however, as whatever connection the Banshee had made broke off, the sudden shock and backlash was heavy enough to make her pass out from it. She's probably be okay soon enough, but her already lifeless state definitely wouldn't make it look like it. <br>

Kesh, in her state of being highly emotional, only imagined the there to be scent at all. In reality, the banshee was scentless, but that was a detail easy to get wrong when under high levels of stress. That stress wouldn't subside easily either, as she'd realise that her dagger hit nothing but air. Particularly cold air, but air nonetheless. As she landed, however, the Banshee had its attention focussed upon her. For a short moment, she'd feel a barrage of negative emotions, almost as if they were physically flung at them from behind her, but her invisibility allowed her to get away before the splitting headache that accompanied these emotions would bring her to her knees. The Banshee moved a bit in her direction, but was either incapable or unwilling to follow the undetected rat. <br>
<br>
Instead, it started wailing again. <span style="color: #2F4F4F"><b>“My child... give him to me... my child... give him back.. my child.. bring him back... my child... return him... my child... give him back...”</b></span> If there was ever a moment for them to try to get away from it, now would be the time. It was likely that it wouldn't be long before it'd start moving again, and although they hadn't yet spotted a pattern in its movements, there was a fair chance it'd head towards them for another confrontation, repeating the previous cycle or finding a new victim.<br>
<br>
A fair bit away from them, Nissa would feel her wounds heal up from the blood. They still ached and itched a bit, but that was more of an annoying after-effect of the poisons and toxins than a serious issue. <br>
<br>
Clarice, meanwhile, was having some furious debates with the local wildlife. For what it was worth, there seemed to be a very feint acknowledgement in 'scary is sound = run away' department, for as far as animals could display such a thing, but the 'where scary sound came from' part still got her blank expressions. Perhaps the Banshee's appearance didn't have a pattern to it at all, making it difficult for an animal to comprehend a 'where from' question regarding a being who's terrifying sounds came from different directions each night. <br>
<br>
Clarice was able to cast a small, relatively dim light. (<i>OOC, I'm honestly not sure if this is an adequate usage of the flux thing, as I'm not sure if you can tag a whole new [light] affinity onto the spell with just [magic] itself, rather than using new modifiers on al already existing affinity, like in the example, but for this one I'll allow it to work at a very low capacity.</i>). The dim light made stepping into the water a whole lot less likely, but it wasn't strong enough to reveal any new clues. The poor Frog's Fountain went ignored, unable to share it's slimy properties with the wider world. <br>
<br>
She would, as she kept investigating, start getting the feeling she was being observed by something or someone.</div>

Cayde, and especially his arms, were grateful for Scylla's assistance. More accustomed to moving books and bottles around the apothecary, a grown woman was a bit out of their league, so any added strength was more than welcome. Still, that wouldn't stop the weight of Scylla's concerns from pressing into his thoughts. Just like him, she was worried about the Banshee, and just like him, she was fretting over her companion. Cayde knew the feeling very well, yet still, he felt a pang of guilt. At least he had a <i>clue</i> where Kesh might be - Scylla didn't even have that. He could at least give a reason for Kesh's disappearance; what could Scylla say for Clarice? There was no answer he could think of, so instead, he tried to offer whatever solace he could, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Scylla, I'm 100% sure Clarice is around here. It's just this dang fog that's making everything so complicated.</span></b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"</span> He shot her a determined glance through the dense mist, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I promise you: once we get out of this, we <i>will</i> find Clarice, don't you worry!" </span></b><br>
<br>
As for her question about what to do with the Banshee, Cayde's eyes darted elsewhere. Kate's warning had ruled out all means of his and possibly the entire group's means of attack, and after witnessing what it had done to her, nearly all his will to negotiate had crumbled. He thought there had to be another way to approach this, but closing his eyes and concentrating did not give him another idea. Instead, it brought his attention to the deathly cold arm draped around his neck. It didn't take him long to snap out of his fugue and place two fingers beside Kate's windpipe, and what he felt, or at least, what he didn't feel, sent his heart into overdrive. <br>
<br>
There was nothing: No pulse, no reaction, and not even the slightest feeling of warmth. Denial started to cloud Cayde's mind. He'd only seen her a couple of minutes ago; how could this have happened? If she'd passed just then, her body would still have a <i>touch</i> of heat, yet he was feeling skin as cold as a rock. Was this Banshee's doing? Was Kate always like this? And most importantly, was his fellow crossbowman now de- <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b><i>"Nononono, you're just unconscious, is all." </i></b></span>He nodded,  <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b><i>"Just gotta get you away from here, Kate." </i></b></span>All he needed to do was some basic first aid, and she'd be up and running again: shooting alongside him, saving his hide. Those visions weren't real - he could do something about this. <br>
<br>
It was time to share the plan with the team. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"We've got to get out of here. Now!" </b></span>He tried hard to mask the absolute terror on his face, but as with his outburst earlier, he failed miserably, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Look, the Banshee did <i>something </i>to Kate. It'll come for us next, and we've got <i>nothing </i>to stop it!" </b></span>He faced Scylla, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Lyse went up ahead earlier. Maybe, uh, Clarice tagged along with her. We'll grab them along the way!" </b></span>Next was Baharius, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Baharius, you've got Abha in good hands. Please, keep her close!" </b></span>Finally, he turned to the mist, and his eyes searched frantically for Kesh, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"KESH, We're going! NOW!" </span></b><br>
<br>
It didn't matter where he'd end up next - as long as it was as <i>far</i> from here. He'd deal with the truth later.</div>

</b> (Scylla)<br>​</div><hr><br>
Once realizing the situation, Baharius slowly <b>moved up </b>- now cradling Abha in an upright stance - to investigate the situation. It appeared that the banshee had left Chandra's body, instead of possessing her to attack them. It would be a wise situation for someone of her stature to disengage a 1v3, but nonetheless he couldn't tell what the creature's true goal here. Whatever the case, the woman now looked ghastly in appearance, not even sporting a pulse or any warmth. It truly looked as if she had died. <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"><b>"If she's truly dead,"</b></span> Baharius stated rather solemnly, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Then I'm afraid there's nothing to be done." </span></b>He feared the worse, but nonetheless it remained to be truly seen. Wouldn't mind to be wrong here.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, both Scylla and Cayde were going into a panic, prying for any sort of answer as they were not sure on how to combat the banshee. Even Baharius' nerves were already beginning to be pushed, especially with having to safeguard the paladin, and he wouldn't blame them. Kesh was nowhere to be seen, as were both Clarice and Nissa's extended absence. They needed a new plan. Thankfully, it would seem the plague doctor had one, and it was a simple one at that.<br>
<br>
<b><i>Run.</i></b><br>
<br>
At least, his terrified reaction seemed to prompt that assumption. But nonetheless, he agreed that it would be wise for them to retreat. With obscured vision, separated comrades, and an undead enemy who couldn't die by physical means after the bunny, their current position was compromised. Staying here wouldn't do them any good, running the risk of further casualties. Giving the order to find Lyse and Clarice up the way and have the saurian keep the Abha close, the reptilian general nodded in agreement. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"With my life."</span></b> he replied to the alchemist.<br>
<br>
He was tempted to give a loud roar to see if he can lead any separate allies to him, especially how Cayde was shouting for Kesh, but felt it would be better for him to remain quiet. After all, he had what the Banshee sought...<br>
<br>
Wherever they go afterwards, Baharius would be close behind; and his hold on Abha even closer.<br>

Looking around her, all Scylla could see was dense fog, the frantic witch was just about to turn around and simply take things into her own hands. Although she had some reservations about whether or not fire darts would affect the wailing thing. Although she was a sweet-bubble-gum-candyroll, she wasn’t a pushover. After all she spent endless hours studying magic to defend herself for these dangerous occasions. But before she could turn around and do so, something unexpected happened.<br>
<br>
Cayde after assuring her Clarice would be okay, seemed to temper the frantic witches panic, looking at Cayde through the fog with sudden wonder, yet taking quick glances towards the screams as if holding back. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Y-you really think so?” </span>She asked with a hint of doubt. But upon hearing the offer to search for her colleague, she quickly accepted.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Alright. You said it!”</span> She said, regaining her previous composure.<br>
<br>
As she helped carry the disguised Kalina, she noticed Cayde suddenly grow a bit uneasy.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Is.. something the matter?”</span> She asked curiously as Cayde seemed to start panicking a bit himself. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Hey? hey! <i>I’m</i> supposed to be the damsel in distress here!” </span>She demanded with a bit of a frown. But quickly figured out he was feeling a bit uneasy about Kate’s current condition after checking her pulse. She wouldn’t press him however, at this point it felt that it would just be best to find cover or somewhere safe to reassess their situation. Perhaps with a bit more literal clarity.<br>
<br>
When Cayde began to tell his plan, she nodded, then froze a bit when he mentioned that Nissa was with Clarice, she didn’t trust that vampire, however at this point it didn’t seem she had much of a choice, considering the fog was so thick and the banshee was on the loose. “Well, it does make me feel a little better that she’s at least with <i>someone</i>. Although, I'd have liked for her to be in better company.” She remarked, as she adjusted her posture to better hold onto Kates arm around her shoulders. <i>Hmm, she's kind of chilly.</i> She thought with a pout.<br>
<br>
Looking back at Baharius, the witch nodded happily when Cayde agreed to carry the bunny.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "You're one in a million lizard knight!"</span><br>
<br>
After that she’d retreat with Cayde, and Baharius likely close behind, away from danger. And the Banshee. For now.  [1. Move]</div>

Kesh would see her attacks did nothing, the Ratkin had a look of shock and disappointment, mainly her attacks were useless and she wouldn't be able to help Chandra. She felt defeated, unable to even slash another enemies eyes. Although this enemy was different... Like a ghost... <i>Gasp!</i> Another undead! Behind this weird old woman spirit thing, she saw something in the fog drag off Chandra, she could sniff them. The witch Stella and her master, Clyde! Kesh almost rejoiced! She was glad they were nearby.<br>
<br>
But then the emotions came, Kesh could feel all sorts of negative emotions. She held her head as she felt like she could feel a headache coming and quickly moved away pass the banshee, following the scent of her companions until she could see Cayde, Scylla and that large lizard Baharius. Kesh moved a bit closer and allowed the invisibility to dissipate revealing her. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Clyde! Stella! Balthazar! </span></b>" Kesh smiled with spread out arms, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">I missed you all!</span></b> " Kesh's eyes watered a bit as she still held Cayde's dagger that dripped with the poison she was given. She took a step forward and stopped. Wait! What if they thought she was that fake Scylla... " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Uh, I'm the real-actual Kesh!</span></b> " The Ratkin said dropping the dagger staring at them. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Don't hurt-harm me.</span></b> " Kesh pleaded.</div>

Considering Cayde, Scylla, Baharius and Kesh went into the direction of Nissa and Clarice, the group would eventually be able to meet back up again (assuming Scylla and Clarice would both follow the magic threads to avoid getting lost). (<i>OOC, it's probably easiest to initiate the reunion with Nissa or Clarice posting them running into the group/scene at whichever point the scene is at by time of posting.</i>) Luckily enough, the Banshee didn't give chase. Instead, it continued the path it had been on when passing them by.<br>
<br>
As the group managed to get away, the mist vanished. Although it was still dark, their torches would light the way (and make them easier to find for Clarice and Nissa). After about half an hour, they'd find a spot that was relatively dry and relatively safe. It'd take another three or so hours for the rabbit to suddenly wake up. <br>

<span style="color: #F08080"><b>“What...”</b></span> Was the first words she uttered, until she looked around the group and would instantly retreat however far she could from them, trying to pull herself loose or free if she was still being held onto. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“What the hell do you want from me?!?”</b></span> She shouted, confused and somewhat scared. It was to be expected from a group that'd saved her, stabbed her to near death, then somehow kept her alive and dragged her all the way here. By now she could no longer tell what in the world to think of these people. The only thing she knew for sure that she wasn't eager to get stabbed again. For those that paid attention, her wounds were mostly gone by now, having regenerated. <br>
<br>
Oddly enough, that shouting was what woke up Kalina as well. <br>

Kalina was confronted with two things upon awaking. A pretty severe headache and a considerable thirst for blood. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Urghr...””</b></span> She groaned, grabbing her head. That said, as horrible as she felt, there was one positive thing. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I think that Banshee showed me the place we need to go to get rid of her.”</b></span> However, short after saying it, she suddenly realised they were somewhere completely different. That meant she'd been dragged here. That meant they'd been really close to her. That was bad. She was already in a position that'd raise a lot of suspicion. Earlier behaviour, the Banshee calling her a 'child of death' for some reason and probably having been carried. How much did they know/suspect by now? She was clearly concerned and the headache she was experiencing, combined with the annoying thirst, made it difficult to hide those emotions. That said, there was one thing she could ask. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Is everyone okay? What about the rabbit?”</b></span> For one, she genuinely cared, secondarily, it'd hopefully put attention elsewhere. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Back with Clarice and Nissa, Clarice would feel the sensation of being watched fade as she wasn't in time to go and investigate it. Whatever had been keeping its eyes on them had left before they could spot or chase it. She and Nissa would be able to continue, but rather than finding more about the Banshee, they'd eventually spot the torches from the other group and would be able to rejoin. Luckily, they hadn't ran into more Boggearts while they were on their own in the dimly lit marshes.</div>

Three hours wasn't enough for Cayde to forget what had happened. Even now, as he hastily scribbled notes in his journal to distract himself, he could still feel that ice-cold arm tightening around his neck and see the familiar face of exactly who it belonged to. <b><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Nope..."</span></i></b> He mumbled, shutting the book and directing his mind elsewhere - to the <i>good</i> things that happened. Stuff like Kesh returning, Clarice and Lyse finally showing up, and the group's easy escape from the Banshee. Not things like Kate staying '<i>unconscious' </i>for hours. Or the fact he was starting to realize Baharius might be right. <b><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Just gotta keep the mind busy..."</span> </i></b>He looked around the clearing frantically. There had to be <i>something</i> to distract him around here. <br>
<br>
Fortunately, Cayde got a distraction. Two, in fact: one in the shape of a very awake paladin and the other from a very alive Kate. The latter was mainly the reason for the flabbergasted look on his face. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Kate! You're...okay?"</span> </b>He said cautiously, quirking one eyebrow. How was this possible? He'd felt no pulse, and her skin was as cold as stone. She was <i>dead</i>, so how was she talking right now? Cayde didn't know whether to be happy, relieved, or terrified. He tried to be the second, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I mean, of course you are! Scylla and I had to drag you away after the Banshee got you. You'll have to thank her - she did most of the lifting."</span> </b>He tried to chuckle, but it came out as a nervous jumble of hehs. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"But uh, everyone's doing alright. Look's like Abha's come around too.</span></b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"</span> He added, pointing over his shoulder to the beastkin, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I'll go have a word with her, but you? You've gotta take it easy, y'know?</span>" </b> He did want to hear what she knew about the Banshee, but in his current state, she'd <i>definitely</i> know something was up. After all, seeing people return from the dead wasn't a common occurrence for him. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Let the others know what you saw - I'll be right back,</span>" </b>Cayde said, moving over to Abha. All the while, he was thinking: who really was Kate? <br>
<br>
Eventually, with his palms faced up, Cayde approached the petrified were-rabbit, stopping a few paces before her. <b>"<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">Hey! Easy! Can't be moving like that when you've just got up,"</span> </b>His eyes took a moment to scan her, and he noticed no signs of her previous wounds. That was even <i>more</i> evidence she was the were-rabbit. Cayde gulped, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Look, you've got no reason to trust us after what we did, I know, but can I at least explain what happened?</span>" </b>He slowly lowered his hands to his sides, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"All we wanted to do was talk, but when we got close, one of us thought it was a good idea to do the complete opposite. We've dealt with that - we won't let her hurt you again.</span>" </b>He sighed, trying not to glare at Nissa, <b>"<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">When you were out, though, we were all so worried! Scylla, the lady who hugged you, healed you up, and kept you warm. Baharius, the big lizardman over there, protected you! Even when that Banshee showed up..." </span></b><br>
<br>
The mentioning of the monster made him shudder, but Cayde still offered a smile nonetheless, <b>"<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">Look, this was all just a <i>huge</i> misunderstanding, but we still just want to talk. So can we just... start over, yeah?"</span> </b>He asked, slowly stretching his hand for a handshake, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I'll go first: I'm Cayde Whitinger."</span> </b></div>

</b> (Nissa) |<br>​</div><hr><br>
After running with the group for what felt like several hours or so, Baharius and the others were finally able to locate Clarice and Nissa searching for clues regarding the Banshee. From the looks of it, the didn't seem to find any closure regarding what the creature wanted and who it was bound or controlled to. While unfortunate, at least the entire group was finally back together. The mist had begun to dissipate, vanishing as quick as it appeared. They must've went out of range from where the banshee patrolled, nor did they see any other clues that she followed them. Even so, he couldn't help but hear the raspy screechy vocals ping-ponging off his sub-consciousness whenever a true silence fell amongst the group.<br>
<br>
For the meantime, Baharius stood guard over the unconscious paladin - tucked snuggly in her bedroll - while fishing off the bank, as the others talk about their next move. While able to catch a few good bites and offered them to anyone hungry, the brackish water at this hour would be unusually sparse with aquatic life. As he did, he'd hear Chandra finally spring back to consciousness, relieved that she didn't perish under the vengeful spirit. Though curiously, she seemed to believe that the banshee hinted to her as how to rid of her, perking the saurian's mild interest.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"What do you mean?"</span></b> Baharius asked curiously, genuinely desperate for any clear way in vanquishing, or removing the presence of, the screaming banshee. Yet after realizing her situation, Chandra turned her concern towards the rabbit.<br>
<br>
That's when the topic of conversation herself finally awoke in a fury of confusion. The saurian's toothy snout immediately swiveled to the were-rabbit's location, being grateful that she survived but also on guard due to the knife-edge of things potentially going wrong. He already saw that the wounds she sustained had been fully healed, again alerting to Abha's true identity. As he stood up to prepare himself as a literal meat-shield in order to separate both parties and prevent further violence, it would be Cayde who'd get the first word out to her. The saurian held his silence, letting the alchemist explain to her the situation and how it was ultimately a huge misunderstanding. He even acknowledged how Baharius protected her during the battle with the Banshee; whom he nodded to confirm what happened.<br>
<br>
Once Cayde formerly introduced himself and offered his hand of rekindling friendship, the saurian proceeded to walk over to her to add to the conversation. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"My friend speaks true,"</span></b> he said while leaning down, giving the same non-threatening treatment as he did the first time, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Though I'm sorry for not keeping my word to you earlier. It was truly not our intention to cause you harm. The one who stabbed you in our group happens to put it bluntly, lack empathy compared to the rest of us."</span></b> He'd find himself giving the silver-haired vampire a tensed stink eye for a moment, before softening his expression back to the rabbit. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"As to why we are here, and why we sought you out, is a bit complicated. But first... I'd like to ask on behalf of everyone else, what business do you have in a place like this? Are you lost? Or do you perhaps... call this your home?"</span></b></div>

It was a bit much to take everything in, but even so, she clearly noticed that Cayde was shocked. He definitely knew. This was a horrible scenario. It didn't take much to see through his attempt at playing it off, but her only option was to play along with it for now. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“That's great to hear. Thank you from getting me away from that thing. It looks like you've already paid back the favour you owed me for winning that bet of ours.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She'd went on to explain to Baharius, trying to recall the imagery she'd seen through the visions, emotions and headaches. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“She showed me images of what I think happened to her. Her newborn child was born with a finger too many on both hands, which made the people in her frontier village think she was a witch or monster. They burned her alive and killed her child on some sort of small altar in these marches. I bet her spirit is looking for him, but unable to find him. I'm sure that if we find that altar, we might find his corpse or something else that would allow her to pass onto the afterlife.”</b></span> The topic of finding that altar was more difficult. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“She gave me vague sense of its location, but I can't see the magic threads here, so I don't think I'd be able to find it on my own. However, the village was near the coast and the altar wasn't too deep into the marshes, so it has to be east of here. Probably to the south-east, where some of us came from.”</b></span><br>
<br>
That knowledge would be enough to make Clarice and Scylla realise that they were likely talking about the frontiers village they had gone through to buy their supplies. It was one of the few places on the Dark Continent that managed to hold out against the monsters well enough to have enough supplies left to share them with adventurers like them. Using the thread to retrace their steps, they'd be able to make their way there if they tried. If they were to search the edges of the marshes near the village, it likely wouldn't take too long before they'd find the path or the altar itself. <br>

The bunny, meanwhile, felt all sorts of things other than taking it easy. She missed her trusty hammer, but even without it, she knew she could overpower them for just long enough to break away and make a run for it There was one very clear reason for her not to trust them, regardless of what Cayde (even with persuasion) or Baharius told her. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“You're not telling me who did it. Are you protecting them so they can do it again?”</b></span> She said, her eyes glossing over the crowd. She knew it wasn't Scylla, but that was the only one she could exclude. She'd been too busy getting hugged to keep her eyes on the others, so they were all equally suspicious. She was rightfully angry at the suggestion to start over. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“I can't just start over after nearly being murdered! I'm glad you saved me from those Boggearts, but for all I know you've just decided to finish the job later!”</b></span> She'd withdraw at the handshake, not wishing to let anyone close enough to risk a repetition of the previous events. The only one she didn't feel like she needed to continuously keep in her sights was Scylla. <br>
<br>
The bunny backed up more when the saurian joined in. It was tough to believe this creature protected her, although his words did make her trust him ever so slightly more. However, when he too refused to name someone or point fingers, she instantly regained the paranoia. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“I don't know what kind of cruel games you're playing, but if you want to know why I'm here, I can tell you at least that much. I for sure don't call these cursed marshes home. I'm from The Republic, the Holy City of Vegard, to be exact. A few months ago, our city was attacked by some sort of curse. If it wasn't for a Syncretist Priest and his beaked companions, the entire city would've been done for. Sadly enough, me and the other paladins were too sick to help them at the time, but after they were gone, we started an investigation into who or what attacked us. We found remnants of some sort of plant in the crypts, which drained the life away from anyone who touched them. It was the only lead we had, so we tried to figure out where they might've come from, which led us here. We believe they're from an Ent living in these marshes, so we set out to confront it. We've been wandering around without any luck for... I think three weeks? Our rations were running low and the Boggearts kept attacking us. By the time you all ran into me, I was the only one left.”</b></span></div>

It’d have been about 3 hours, since the incident with the Banshee, having barely recovered the pack before leaving, Scylla would put her head in the pack, searching busily for a handy item. “Eh? Where is that thing?” Her voice muffled to everyone within proximity. “I could have sworn Clarice had..” she then quickly and happily pulled a pouch out of the pack. “..Aha!! Here it is!” She exclaimed raising the item to the sky as she opened to reveal a tent pouch and all its contents. Surprisingly, she was able to figure it out fairly quickly and before long there was a little shelter, staked and ready. As Scylla took the extra bedroll and placed it in the tent she spoke to Clarice. “Soooooo.. I’m glad you decided not to leave..” she said, a hint of relief in her voice. Although she knew Clarice wasn’t having the time of her life per say, she felt that making the most of it would just make things, pleasant, at least. <br>
<br>
Just then, Scylla turned to Chandra who had stirred and woken up. Cayde was still quite uneasy about her, for reasons she could only wonder. The thought of Chandra being ‘dead cold’ wasn’t even a thought in her mind. But then a little light bulb lit up above her head, and felt maybe Cayde really liked her, so she decided not to interfere with their dynamic. Best to let these love affairs simply unfold. <br>
<br>
“So glad you made it Chandra!” She said with a beaming smile. “And yes, Cayde is right! You may be cold as ice but I’m sure these muscles make you feel hot! Eh?!” She said, making obviously false gestures that made it seem like she had bigger arms than she actually did. <br>
<br>
Scylla then pulls a slice of cake and spoon from her robes, a bit crumbly from all the action earlier. Then Chandra mentioned her findings with whoever else was present, addressing Bahariuss comment. <br>
<br>
With a bit of a melancholy expression upon her features. The witch began after Chandra mentioned the vision projected into her mind, “I see.. that’s quite the tragedy, I couldn’t imagine how devastated I’d be to witness something like that.. yknow, not ALL witches are bad though..” she said pointing a thumb at herself as she took a bite of cake. “I for one nom like to think nom Im actually really nice!” Although it was a reality that some pious common folk didn’t take kindly to magic users, Scylla had a way to brush that kind of prejudice aside. <br>
<br>
Before taking another bite she would turn to Clarice with surprise. “Wait! South east. Isn’t that where we loaded up Poppy before setting off into these Marshes?” Scylla said with anticipating eyes. Then turning to face Chandra she volunteered, “We would be more than happy to help get you there! Wouldn’t we Clarice?” She said turning to look at her colleague, “She can be a bit of a scaredy-bratty-cat BUT thats just because she’s reeeeally smart, her sense of direction is impeccable too!” Scylla would wink at her then use the spoon to feed Clarice cake. “Ok. I’m getting offended. I made this for you, and I’ve ate almost half of it! My sugar spikes are so bad my magic is getting clogged! So this calls for drastic measures! Say ‘ahhh!” <br>
<br>
—<br>
<br>
Meanwhile the Rabbit warrior had stirred awake. And apparently she was feeling quite concerned and worried for her life at the others remarks. After possibly feeding Clarice she’d put her spoon down and tiptoed slowly closer to the rabbit paladin before raising her palms at her, as if to hopefully ease her anxiety. “Hi bunny! Okay, so my name is Scylla, absolutely amazing to meet such a cute little bunny! Uhm..” she said looking around at the others, then whispered covering the side of her mouth as to make it less obvious. “..uhm, and it was that girl over there who poked you, I’d stay away from her..” she glanced at Nissa but before anything like infighting could begin, Scylla inquired, her hands entwined at her back as she rocked back and forth on her feet, “..say.. you wouldn’t happen to know of a crone in these woods would you? Apparently, she wants you out of here! Willfully or.. well.. you know?” She looked away a bit nervously.<br>
<br>
Upon mention of how the bunny paladin came to be here she’d sit on her knees looking at her attentively, sympathetic and a bit worried. “You poor thing.” She said placing her hand over her heart. “I’m so sorry you lost your friends. Uhm, but perhaps their deaths won’t be in vain, I’m also looking for a plant in these Marshes. More for research purposes, but I’m sure the Academy would be fascinated to study this plant of yours, maybe we could team up! As for the ent, I couldn’t say if everyone here would be willing to help. But whatever you choose to do, please don’t worry, I’ll protect you! Okay?” The witch would reach out with her index finger, as if to shake her hand. Likely resisting the urge to squeeze the bunny from an overflow of affection.</div>

 </b>​</div><br>
When Abha brought up Vegard, something flashed behind Cayde's eyes. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Wait, you're from Vegard?"</span> </b>It'd felt like <i>years </i>since he last heard someone mention that city, yet a surge of nostalgia coursed through him and touched his face with a faint smile. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Wow. Well, this is a bit awkward..."</span> </b>Cayde chuckled nervously, his hand scratching the back of his head, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"But I was there! Ceylan, Maikoa, Malerie, and I, we helped save the city!"</span> </b>He grabbed the mask tethered to his side, and from his pack, he produced the original corvid-inspired disguise.<br>
<br>
Although it still stank of that sweet-smelling neurotoxin, Cayde had still held it close. It was a trophy: a reminder of who he was, a testament to how far he'd come, and now, he hoped, proof. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Yeah, I've had a little makeover since then. Had to, after what happened down in those crypts...</span>" </b>The smile faded from his face as the unsavory memories came rushing back, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"We found some sort of ritual there. This huge crystal, a creepy statue, and those roots - Ceylan knew it was the source of the city's plague. We tried reversing it, of course, but then <i>he </i>found us. We must've messed up his plan real good, 'cause next thing we know, he's filling the chamber with poison. I managed to get out - got a good look at him too: Beastman, more man than beast, red hair, these two fox-like ears, some strange lantern, and a staff. A staff that was about to bash my head in.</span>" </b>He said grimly, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I dunno what the others did back there, but all I heard was this <i>boom</i>. Then all the lights went out, and <i>he ran off. </i>We saved the city, but the guy got away...</span><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"</span> </i></b>All because of him, Cayde kept telling himself. Because he couldn't get up, ignoring the tears in his eyes, the burning in his lungs, and chase down that man. The city was saved, but <i>he</i> was still out there, and there was only himself to blame. If only he was as equipped then as he was now, Cayde wondered. The <i>new </i>Cayde would've caught him, but the <i>old</i> one didn't, and there was nothing he could do to change that. His grip tightened on his former mask, <b><i>"<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">Old, stupid, Cayde." </span></i></b><br>
<br>
He must've zoned out because he hadn't noticed Scylla beside him. Or the fact his mask was squeaking with strain under his grip. Finally, he came to, throwing the trophy back into his pack and listening to Scylla's conversation. He nodded, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Yeah, the hag tasked up with taking out these three monsters: A Banshee, some sort of forest demon, and a were-rabbit..."</span> </b>He pursed his lips and directed his eyes elsewhere as if the escape to this awkward situation were somewhere in the trees, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"She didn't really give us much of a reason <i>why</i> but she did threaten to keep us in these swamps forever, and well, I didn't wanna call her bluff, y'know?</span>" </b>He added, a free hand scratching his chin, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Still, she said we had to get them <i>out</i> of the swamp by any means necessary. While I don't think the Banshee or the demon will be up for negotiating, you, on the other hand, can make a compromise with us."</span> </b>His face curled into a diplomatic smile, and his hands folded in front of him. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"This ent you're looking for might be the monster we're trying to find too. If you come with us, we'll get rid of the Banshee together, then the tree demon, and we'll get you out of these swamps and back to Vegard - as long as you leave, the hag'll be happy, and she'll let us all off scott-free. It's a win-win!"</span> </b>Before waiting to hear her answer, however, Cayde held up his index finger. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"But, before we do all that, I've got a few questions for you.</span>" </b>He said pointedly, his eyes narrowing in on the paladin.<br>
<br>
A goofy grin quickly span across his face, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"How's the mayor doing? Oh, and Harley and Miss Nana too?" </span></b></div>

</b> (Nissa) |<br>​</div><hr><br>
Wanting to provide immediate honesty to avoid further confrontation, Baharius immediately pointed one of his large hooked claw towards Nissa. <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"><b>"It was her - Nissa - who stabbed you in the back with her rapier."</b></span> the saurian stated with a subtle growl towards the vampire, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"While death ought to accompany her for her action, she's unfortunately in the same boat as us all. We can only ensure is that she lays not a single hand on you again. Especially on my watch."</span></b><br>
<br>
Baharius remained attentive when Abha began talking about how she got stuck in the swamp. Indeed, it would appear that she was not a native in these parts and that she was from the Holy City of Vegard. After the city was attacked and cursed, she and several other fellow paladins investigated the cause of the invasion. Finding only the remains of a life-draining plant within the crypts, it would lead them here... believing that the plant belonged to an Ent. With the boggearts assaulting the group however, Abha would find herself to be the sole survivor after 3 long and agonizing weeks. It was all terrible. The saurian general gave a pained sigh of sympathy; knowing full well what she might be experiencing. <br>
<br>
Yet once she mentioned her quarry, the saurian's brow perked up in recognition. "Ent". He recognized this name. During his off-time in his gladiatorial days, he would often find himself reading certain novels he could get his claws on to get a better lay at this new land. Most of what he read were monster-based; featuring heroes going off to slay the monsters of the deep dark. That's how he was able to recognize the term of "werewolves" or "were-beasts"; with one such book having a werewolf as the main hero. But there was another book that mentioned the "Ents", being living sentient trees that shared the peaceful forests with the Fae race. They came in all different sizes and the ones presented in his book protected the forest from hostile invaders threatening to ruin the forest. The book wasn't the most interesting to him otherwise, quite dull and forgettable really, but he enjoyed their presence whenever they were mentioned. One was even featured on the back cover of the book...<br>
<br>
He didn't connect the dots when the Hag mentioned a "tree demon" as their quarry, though now presented with a familiar name given to these sentient-foliage he couldn't help but call that out. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Looking... for an Ent?"</span></b> he asked again, rubbing the tip of his long snout. Before he could confidently piece the two together and offer a diplomatic solution, Cayde would beat him to it, explaining their purpose here, mentioning all the marks from the hag, the three other quarries, and blatantly referring Abha as the were-rabbit. <br>
<br>
Couldn't have really said it better himself. <br>
<br>
The alchemist was even familiar with the paladin's home city, quickly wondering how the mayor and his friends were. It was clear he had history with it, seemingly fitting in line with the aftermath the poor bunny had to deal with. Nonetheless, Baharius quickly perked into the conversation once he found an opening. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"I offered myself to protect you from harm while you were unconscious,"</span></b> he added somewhat nobly, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"And had done so when the Banshee disguised herself as one of our own in an attempt to trick me in handing you over."</span></b> He motioned his head towards both Cayde and Kesh with an upward flick. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"They can attest."</span></b></div>

<span style="font-size: 15px">Nissa or well the group had found Nissa and Clarice further into the swamp; one of the things she hadn't expected to see was the Rabit moving around. Though shocked, she kept her face neutral as she listened to the others speak about their portions of what had happened. Though the bunny she found a bit odd, she figured she would still keep an eye on the creature and no doubt the creature would watch her all the same. <br>
<br>
There were a few people who had hinted at who had stabbed their newest companion, or, well, Nissa saw her as bait; that was about all she was in her mind. A simple tool to be used to further her own goals. While she did care who lived and died to an extent that was more a selfish thing rather than a tactical move. <i><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">I should have aimed for the heart of the creature rather than on the lower end. </span></i><span style="color: null">She thought to herself before folding her arms across her chest. <br>
<br>
Glancing toward the witch as she pointed to her though quickly moving on to the new subject, which caused Nissa to shake her head. She didn't understand this group, she wasn't hiding anything nor was she open about the information she just left it as it was. However, Kate on the other hand always seemed to have an answer for everything under the sun. Though that was a fight for a different time. <br>
<br>
Now she focused on the giant lizard man who pointed her out, </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"You say it like I was tying to hide from the fact you oversized lizard, I will not apologize for what I done. Some people tend to make decision before asking the rest of the group. Also if you are going to say who stabbed them at least know the difference between a sword and rapier," </span>Nissa fired back as she wasn't about to budge from her position. <span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"However I will abstain from stabbing the wererabbit so long as it behaves, the moment it transforms all bets are off," </span>Nissa promised as she held up her right hand and crossed her none beating hard with a finger. </span><br>

Kalina was genuinely confused by Scylla's chaotic energy. At first, she stressed the fact Kalina was cold as ice, which only served to further unnerve the vampire. However, she then bragged about her muscles..? <span style="color: #778899"><b>“They're glorious.”</b></span> She wasn't sure what else to respond to such a remark. Perhaps it'd have been better if she hadn't responded at all, but it was already too late for that. The non-filled speech about nice witches was equally confusing. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I'm inclined to believe you.”</b></span><br>

Abha now had mixed feelings towards Scylla. Having the attempted murder written off as 'poking' was pretty offensive, as was the way the girl addressed her.  Even so, Scylla actually told her clearly to whom to look out for, which was an upgrade from Cayde who merely insinuated it. Well, even more clear was the large lizard, who straight up pointed her out and named her. That said, the mention of a crone intrigued and confused her. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“A crone in the woods? You mean the rumours of a powerful hag living in these marshes? We've never encountered such a creature. Then again, we've never managed to get deeper into the heart of these marshes either. I've got no clue why she would want me out of here, as I've never even met her.”</b></span> She was genuinely confused at the sudden mention of a hag.<br>
<br>
She would, however, shift to a strict and almost hostile tone when Scylla mentioned her plan. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“No!”</b></span> She shouted. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“A thing like that should be destroyed, not studied. We were here to find out who brought it to our city and to slay the Ent it originated from to ensure that something like what happened in Vegard can never happen again. If the Academy gets their hands on it, they'll just weaponise it.”</b></span> Scylla's plan had made the bunny unwilling to accept any affection, so Scylla's overflow of it would not be put to use.<br>
<br>
She was far more surprised by what Cayde had to say, only believing him when he pulled out the mask and started mentioning details and names. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“So you're one of those beaked companions...”</b></span> She was quick to draw her own conclusions. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“Are you also here to find out who or what attacked our city?”</b></span> She sounded hopeful, clearly wishing for new allies in what had seemed to be a lost battle. She gritted her teeth as she learned of the guy that got away. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“So the Ent isn't our city's only enemy.”</b></span> She sighed. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“Either way, thank you for saving our city and for saving me again in these swamps.”</b></span> She would've bowed to show gratitude, but she didn't want to leave Nissa out of her sights, so she abstained from it. <br>
<br>
At the topic of the hag again, she was confused once more. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“I've got no idea what games this hag must be playing with you, but I'd be more than happy to leave this place behind the moment my mission is fulfilled. If helping you with the Banshee speeds that up, I'll do what I can. My order knows a few rituals on how to banish ghosts, although I'm not sure if they'll work on her. Or did you have plan already?”</b></span><br>
<br>
A bit of a smile adorned her lips as Cayde mentioned familiar names. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“The mayor's gotten a bit more forgetful, it seems, but otherwise he's doing fine. Harley went back into his retirement, so he's got all day to brag about how much he helped that day. My sister's doing great as well. I was pretty worried when I noticed how much she'd been wearing herself out, but she fully recovered. Another thing I've got you and your companions to thank for.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Although the bunny was still not too sure of Baharius, he seemed relatively simple and open about his intentions, which she could appreciate. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“That would be appreciated, mister..?”</b></span> She would politely reply, unsure of what other approach to take. That said, she was shocked when he mentioned someone disguising themselves as one of them. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“That's not the Banshee! There's something else like that out here. It managed to trick us before, when we just got here. It disguised itself as one of my companions, a fox-man named Erhard. It travelled with us for almost three full days before we figured out that it wasn't our actual friend and we only managed to do so because it kept somehow warning us about things in these marshes that none of us could've known about. It ran off before we could question it, but it must've used the Banshee's curse to try again with your group. I'm not sure what it wants, but it freaks me out. I never managed to find out what it did to Erhard either.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Although Abha ignored Nissa's remarks, the topic of were-rabbits did make her sigh. She ended up trusting the group (or at least some of them) just enough to be open about it. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“I joined the Paladins of Virtus to learn how to prevent changing and to learn how control the curse. I've shown you all that I'm capable of suppressing it even in the face of death. However, should I somehow still change, I'll be able to buy everyone a minute at most. Except for Nissa, that is. I don't think I'll be able to prevent my rage from going after her if I end up changing. After the first minute, I'm not sure if I'd be able to separate friend or foe. However, I always calm down after half an hour at most. That said, I promise I'll do whatever I can to prevent changing.”</b></span><br>
<br>
With all those topics out of the way Clarice (or Scylla) would be able to lead the group back towards the village, where they eventually stumbled upon a path through the marshes. It was every bit as creepy as you'd expect, with various occult symbols and bones of all sorts of creatures adorning the trees and plants along the way. It let to the remnants of what might've once been a small chapel, but was now little more than a ruin. The altar Kalina spoke off was there. The feint smell of blood (instantly recognised by Kalina and Nissa) showed it was still in use. <br>

<span style="color: #778899"><b>“This must be it.”</b></span> Kalina said, feeling a chill run down her spine. Having seen images of it through the Banshee, she knew that whatever they could expect here wouldn't be pretty. However, the knowledge of what had been occurring here over and over again was still enough to make her stomach twist. Sadly enough, she wasn't sure where to go from here.<br>
<br>
The only one who knew anything about religion was Abha, who would speak up when she noticed the rest wasn't sure how to proceed. However, she had a very careful tone. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“I may know a ritual to cleanse this place, which should set free all the spirits associated with it. However, it'll take some time... time during which I'm unable to defend myself.”</b></span> She looked at Nissa in particular when saying that. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“This type of ritual will draw out some of the evil spirits that arose from here, perhaps even the Banshee herself, who will try to break my concentration to disrupt it. The only other option I could think of is to just torch it down and hope for the best.”</b></span></div>

</b> (Nissa) |<br>​</div><hr><br>
Baharius glared at Nissa for several seconds, acknowledging her controversial retort, with the silver-lining that she was ready to kill the paladin once she turned into her were-rabbit form, before snorting and glancing back at the bunny. It was a fair enough statement for the time being.<br>
<br>
Nonetheless, there were plenty of revelations that to take in from what the paladin provided. A good many answers, coupled with a few burning questions.<br>
<br>
For starters, the bunny had known little about the Hag's existence. Granted, the old woman of the swamp was quite good in keeping herself hidden; coupling the fact that the paladin group didn't dive too deep into the depths of the marshland would make sense. And for how long she was here - a good three weeks - would no doubt disturb the hag. Yet why wouldn't she just ask Abha to leave then? After all, she seemed rather willing to leave this place after she eliminated the Ent - which just so happened to align with the hag's hit list. No doubt they had their reasons. Perhaps the hag feared being slain by the virtuous paladin, mistaking her for a vile creature. Or maybe she didn't want to risk having her swamp burned by the corrupting self-righteousness of the religious order. It was hard to say.<br>
<br>
However, the paladin also had her experience with the apparition that they've encountered. It would appear Baharius' latter hunch would mark true; being the work of this mysterious fourth opponent. His brow perked up as he listened to Abha speak of how it disguised as one of her companions and how it might've utilized the banshee's curse to attempt in getting what it wanted. That already explained the connection it had with the paladin, but it didn't explain why it wanted her. Neither did the paladin know herself. They certainly had to keep on their toes at this point; perhaps go with the strategy of marking themselves in a way that can identify the real and fake individuals.<br>
<br>
And of course, Abha ensured that she joined the paladin group in an attempt to figure out how to control the were-rabbit curse placed upon her. While she was unsure if she could distinguish ally from enemy, she could at least buy the group a minute before succumbing to the carnal desires of the beast; though promising to do whatever in her power not to transform. She already proved very capable of this even after getting fatally stabbed in the back; but the saurian seemed to doubt her capabilities if it was to happen a second time. It wasn't simply a matter if she was to transform, rather it was a matter of when.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"You've given us quite a bit of enlightening information, Abha."</span></b> Baharius remarked thankfully with a bow of his head, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"I thank you. It explains a lot for what we've encountered. We'll make sure to act accordingly."</span></b><br>
<br>
Some time later, the group would make their way to an accursed village, now nothing more but a ruined remnant filled with bones and mysterious symbols plastered on the walls. Baharius entered cautiously, eying every corner for any sign of potential movement as he dragged his massive great sword behind him. Yet this place was apparently to serve a very important role, according to Abha. She planned to conjure a spell to cleanse free all of the trap spirits within this vicinity, thought it would be a timely endeavor. She would have to be protected from the banshee and spirits trying to break her concentration in the meantime. Or to put down some torches.<br>
<br>
Once again, Baharius continued to make it his duty to protect the paladin even as she's already awake. He took a glance around the village ruins, eying the wooden rubble littering the surrounding clearing. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Light up the perimeter of the village."</span></b> Baharius called out to the rest of the group. He took a tall piece of rotten wood and planted it in the dark mud before lighting the tip with his torch. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Make use of the rubble and build a series of standing torches and bonfires; anything to keep this area well-lit. It should buy us precious time and keep the spirits and banshee at bay for the moment. Keep your torches close and ensure no dark space goes unlit."</span></b></div>

After he learned of Vegard's well-being, a refreshed look formed on Cayde's face. That small piece of closure was all he needed to push those unpleasant thoughts further to the side. For now, at least. Or maybe, <i>after</i> recovering from the shock of learning that the were-rabbit before him was Miss Nana's sister. <b><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Sorry, Miss Nana..."</span> </i></b>Cayde thought ruefully, <b><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Didn't mean for us to almost kill your sister."</span> </i></b>He'd save the proper apology once he revisited Vegard, perhaps with Kesh in tow and some raspberry tea as recompense - it was the least he could do. For now, however, it was time to get rid of the Banshee, and as the others pressed onto the village, Cayde followed not too far behind. <br>
<br>
The trip to the village had filled Cayde with a nagging sense of deja vu. From the strange occult symbols and the macabre display of animal remains, it all reminded him of the gnoll's depravity near Aston. <b><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"It's always a ritual, huh?"</span> </i></b>He quipped to himself, trying to find humor in this recurring theme, but the sight of the altar did nothing but startle him even more. He quickly picked up a familiar, metallic stench in the air and promptly shielded his nose, <b><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"And blood, too." </span></i></b>He hoped Abha's ritual would be the last conducted in this place; his conscious and nostrils would both appreciate it. <br>
<br>
But first, preparations. Cayde nodded to Baharius' suggestion, agreeing that some torches would make this ordeal much more manageable. He still had some worries, but he figured it'd be best to say while making his own preparations. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I'll get right on it, Baharius. But if the Banshee shows up, I don't think fire alone will hold her off. We might need to step in and stall her ourselves,"</span> </b>Cayde said, fumbling through his pack and removing several tools and his ingredients pouch, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Still, if the fire keeps those spirits away, it's a win in my book."</span> </b>As he continued, he started mixing and pouring several multi-colored powders into seven vials, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Now it's just Abha and that 'fourth monster' we've gotta worry about. Abha'll be the least of our concerns unless she transforms, but as long as we watch her back and keep the monsters away, hopefully, we'll be fine."</span> </b>He added a few drops of alcohol to each vial and gave them a good shake. Soon enough, a strange mishmash of smells filled the air,  <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"As for our impostor, there's still a chance it might show up again, and if we're really unlucky, alongside the Banshee. It'll be hard to spot the difference if it copies one of us again, so that's why..."</span> </b>He paused, corking each aromatic bottle and nodding to everyone at the party, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I'm gonna give you all these."</span></b><br>
<br>
He went through the group, offering everyone a vial filled with a sweet, strong-smelling liquid. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"These'll help identify us from the impostor." </span></b>He explained, turning to gaze at Kesh, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Kesh'll be our bloodhound, of sorts. If she doesn't smell this on you - you're not one of us. Plus, if we ever get lost, we could follow the smell right to you, "</span> </b>Kesh's nose had proven to be quite powerful before; he hoped it'd assist him here, too, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"It's not foolproof, but it's worth a shot, right?" </span></b></div>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1663114211922-png.1021994/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/959/959124-cb1c386a8cbfae7ed1289952dbff9697.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1663114211922.png" title="1663114211922.png" width="100" height="114" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Kesh's attention was occupied by the small bag she had inhaled, with dark blue power on her snout and lips, her eyes were narrowed and mouth open with her tongue barely sticking out. Her eyes widen and she shook her head, coming back to reality as she sniffed deeply and cleared her throat in an obnoxious manner. She rapidly blinked while wiping her face of the drug she had inhaled while she coughed a bit. Kesh shook her hands like she was trying to get water off them as she scrunched her nose up a few times. Looking at the group to see what was happening, she hadn't even realized what was happening, this was her way of coping with stressful situations. Whether it be dealing with killing those boggerts or just personal trauma she has yet to deal with properly.<br>
<br>
Kesh saw they would be in a new area staring at what looked like a wiped out town or corrupted, Kesh wasn't sure she was still coming out of her high, she saw Abha and gasped. <i>It was... The rabbit...! </i>Kesh moved closer to Abha like she was sneaking up on the rabbit before extending her hands out and...! The Ratkin gently touched the rabbit ears smiling, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Oooh so soft-cushiony...</span></b> " Kesh looked like a innocent child touching the rabbit's ears. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">You are very cute-adorable.</span></b> " When she then realized that the rabbit was supposed to be passed out from a wound. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">How are you okay now? Well, Kesh is glad you're okay now! </span></b>" The Ratkin said with a hint of power on her nose, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Actually... Do you have any gold-money, for the family-plan of school? Can I check your pockets? What about that hammer? Can I take it with me? </span></b>" Kesh asked a assortment of questions. <br>
<br>
" <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Wait... What are we doing?</span></b> " Kesh asked realized now they were attempting something else. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">How can Kesh help? </span></b>" The Ratkin asked but then Baharius commented on creating torches in which Kesh narrowed her eyes. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Fire-Hot...</span></b> " The Ratkin smiled "<b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"> I have a idea-plan. </span></b>" Kesh stated looking around the rubble for different wood pieces, singing a little song for herself. " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Heartwood in the center of the world... Nehhehehe. Nehhehehe. Savior of the Univerrrrrrrrse. Lighting up the Heartwood to save the daaaaaaaay. Ghastly appendages manage to stake their claaaaaaaim. Kesh is here to now save the daaaaaaaay.</span></i></b> " The Ratkin whisper sung as she moved around some more rubble, grabbing all she could, using her [<b>Tinker F</b>] knowledge of Ratkin expeditions to try and create a strange looking wheel. Kesh had gathered sticks of wood and slowly carried it back to the group, towards Baharius before dropping them with her lack of muscle. The Ratkin pointed at the tall piece of wood he held. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Kesh can make device-machine! Need that thing.</span></b> " She pointed at it. <br>
<br>
The Ratkin began to tear her own clothes, taking long scraps of cloth and wrapping each stick to another until she made some sort of strange wheel. After a minute of creating, Kesh held up with a strange weird wheel, although now with a majority of her clothes torn off, or whatever was left of her clothing previously, she had just enough to keep her lady part concealed. But she had created this strange wacky and obviously clunky stick contraption, it had this strange slot that could pull back and fire similar to a crossbow with her belt or something else close to that being a sling. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Does this help-assist?</span></b> " Kesh asked a timid manner as she felt like this was now starting to look like a bad or stupid idea. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Put it on the tall stick-thing. </span></b>" Kesh pointed at Baharius' tall plank of wood he held.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Clarice distances herself from the others at the encampment.  She builds and tends a fire, interacts with a few animals, collects her coin purse and the rest of the rope, reapplies her bug repellant, changes her clothes, and reads a white paper on cognitive neuroscience, specifically neuroplasticity, by the light of a lantern.  She walks off if anyone other than Scylla or Lyse approaches her.  While she is visibly tense and sports her signature scowl, she mutters almost inaudibly when Scylla addresses her and glances up from her reading.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">Somehow, I wager I’ll regret not grabbing you and ditching this group…</span><br>
<br>
She flat out ignores Chandra and pays Scylla little heed while the two converse.  The lateness of the hour is getting to her, and she yawns.<br>
<br>
She says nothing when Scylla volunteers her as a guide and frowns slightly when Scylla refers to her as a “scaredy-bratty-cat.”  In reprisal, she opts to tune out the rest of the conversation, returning to her reading until Scylla jams a spoon into her mouth during an ill-timed yawn.  After much coughing, choking, and sputtering, Clarice does her best to regain her composure and wheeze.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">That’s *cough* good cake.</span></span><br>
<br>
———— Timeskip ————<br>
Clarice listlessly follows Scylla until they arrive at the chapel.  Upon arriving, she raises an eyebrow inquisitively and begins to tap her foot.  Then, Baharius issues orders to the rest of the party and that personality we all know and “love” makes a sudden comeback.  The neutral expression she was consciously maintaining twists into a snarl.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">How would you react if I rejected your plan in full and branded you all sheep, Lyse and the paladin excepted?</span><br>
<br>
Clarice viciously snaps at Baharius, Cayde, and Kesh!  Her voice brims with bile as she presses on toward the ritual site.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">Use your sodding heads; they aren’t just hat racks!  Think!  For the love of the gods, t-h-i-n-k!</span><br>
<br>
Having exceeded<span style="color: null"> the maximum permissible exposure to the party’s blinding naïveté, Clarice stomps over to the decrepit chapel in a concerted effort to preserve her waning sanity.  Away from the kleptomaniac, the tin soldier, the crybaby, the undead hypocrite, and the werecreature - the monster that could transform, at any moment, into a ravening beast dead set on ripping their chests open and feasting on their livers - Clarice secures a transitory sense of “comfort.”  While not out of sight, she endeavors to grant everyone except Lyse a wide berth that they might dope themselves with Unicorn Vomit, or whatever designer drug the rat and the dealer are peddling, and swaddle themselves in security blankets woven from their gossamery, sugar-coated delusions regarding the workings of the Waking World and pretend all is well.  Clarice goes so far as to act as if the foolhardy others are diseased, and in a sense, they are: everyone knows you cannot trust a monster - doubly so for a monster with the intellect of a human being.  Moreover, it is imperative that people collect their own data and rely on their own judgement in lieu of taking everything everyone tells them at face value.  From her perspective, the only plan in this group’s playbook can be summarized as, “Yeah, let’s just act without understanding anything about the forces at play here.”  These people are ill in mind if not in body!  They’re the types that take the Big Bad Wolf’s hand and skip blissfully toward Granny’s house after giving the cad their date of birth, credit card numbers, and social security number!  They’re the types that wake up in bathtubs filled with ice and fresh stitches!  In a word, they are <i>prey</i>.  In a phrase, they are <i>notches carved into the barrel of a gun</i>.  <i>Easy marks</i>.  <i>Liabilities</i>.<br>
<br>
And somehow, she is meant to work with them!  How?  Even the Kingmaker failed to force them to think things through instead of acting on their whims!<br>
<br>
Clarice cannot brook the company of these children for one minute longer.  Her eyes blazing with blistering rage, she tears the helmet from her head and hurls it as far as she can in the direction of the human settlement.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">Look!  Did it bounce off of an invisible wall?  Do you see anything preventing us from walking into the village?  Of course you don’t!  Villagers travel here from the village <i>and</i> return to it!  You could find out if the villagers know anything about our banshee or this altar or blummin’ anything!  You could check the chapel for clues!  But no!  You reckon it’s your turn to stab the paladin, to jump into a battle between swamp monsters and a purported werecreature, to leap and only bother to look when you’re halfway down a sheer cliff!</span><br>
<br>
Vampires have a word that would describe them to a tee.  <i>Kine</i>.  Cattle accepting what little others reveal to them as gospel truth.  All the good intentions in the world would amount to nothing if those wielding them couldn’t think for themselves and draw logical conclusions from the preponderance of evidence!  The Kingmaker had failed to impress this upon them.  Nothing had changed.<br>
<br>
Please let this be an isolated incident, she prays.  As ever, the gods are deaf to her cries.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">Screw it!</span><br>
<br>
Trembling hands vanish beneath her mantle.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">This sucks sober!</span><br>
<br>
Sterling silver flashes through the cold night air as Clarice lifts a silver flask to her lips and chugs its amber contents.  She only pauses a moment when she notices Kesh ripping off her own clothes to lifelessly groan.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">Somewhere, a god is laughing at me.</span></span><br>
<br>
<b>[Investigation (F)]  </b>Without another word, Clarice enters the chapel and opens a new line of investigation.</div>

(<i>OOC: Just to be clear, it's not a village they're at, just a ruined chapel. The village is further towards the coast down a path they stumbled upon during their search.</i>)<br>
<br>
Abha was willing to work along with Baharius' suggestion and set out to help place torches to light up the area. It wasn't clear if it would stop anything (as her idea of torching down the place was a bit more literal and pyromaniac), but she figured that, at the very least, it'd make anything that would try to sneak up on them a lot easier to spot. Kalina, on the other hand, was too [Critical] to set out on that task, as she didn't see any convincing reason as to how it would aid them. Besides, she was more intrigued by what Clarice was going through. <br>
<br>
When Cayde mentioned stalling the Banshee, however, Kalina did speak up. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I should advise against it. Whatever she does to you, imagine it being like your head being scrambled and slowly taken over. I'm lucky you guys dragged me off and that I somehow recovered, but I wouldn't suggest anyone to try repeating that.”</b></span> Kalina and Abha would both accept his makeshift perfume. (<i>OOC: be sure to mention either IC or OOC if your character would also accept Cayde's bottle. If I don't hear anything, I'll assume they won't.</i>) <br>

<span style="color: #F08080"><b>“Please move back.”</b></span> Abha said, trying to stay calm as the rat was making her very uncomfortable on various levels. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“I've got nothing left after three weeks here and my hammer must've been left behind where I fought the Boggearts, so just move along please.”</b></span> <br>

Kesh managed to tinker together a makeshift crossbow that looked like it might be good to launch a few (5 times if it's used carefully) sets of torches. <br>

Kalina, meanwhile, could spot Clarice's frustration. The girl was as tactical as an ox in china store, but she did make a point. It felt like they were missing a few pieces to the puzzles. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Alright, I'll help you look.”</b></span> As they were going through the wreckage, Kalina would attempt to ask something, hoping not to get scowled out of existence in return. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“You've told me to think, and that's exactly what I've been doing, so I'll ask you. Should any of us even bother to listen to what that Hag has told us to begin with? Her words don't seem to add up, so what if this is just a game to her?”</b></span><br>
<br>
Amidst the ruins, only one thing seemed to be fairly intact; the altar itself. It was decorated by bloodstains, some old, some fresh. Upon further investigation, however, a shallow pit could be found, filled with what seemed to be those sacrificed upon this altar. It was a gruesome sight, as most of the victims had been newborns, although there were some remains of older folk as well. Oddly enough, neither Corpse Beetles nor other wildlife had touched these remains, instead leaving them to natural decay (which was quite quick in a swamp like this). What stood out most of all, however, was an odd dimly blue-glowing crystal that floated in this room. Although Clarice didn't have specific knowledge in Arcana, her time at the Ryken Academy would make her realise this was some type of tether, a magical device that allowed spells to be fuelled across great distances by taking in energy from its surroundings (very similar to the crystal Cayde had seen in the crypts in Vegard). Although a logical conclusion might be that this was made by the villagers for protection or simply due to them being cultists, this theory would be refuted by the fact that they had been too simple to set up something complex, unless they were masters at disguising their true powers, which was unlikely. Besides, if someone could set up a tether like this, they would be able to use other means to protect their village as well, which wouldn't rely on sacrifices. <br>
<br>
Outside of the ruins, Abha and friends had set-up enough torches. She figured she wouldn't await the results of the others searching through the ruins and instead start up the ritual. That said, she made very sure to have her back to a tree and to have only Baharius, Scylla and Cayde near her. She didn't trust the others well enough to be even remotely vulnerable near them. She started chanting something in a language unknown to all of them, as a bright light started to shine and slowly spread from her hand. It felt warm to the skin, comfortably so to most (although it'd be very unpleasant to Kalina and Nissa were they to get too close to it), having some sort of divine magic interwoven into it. However, as she was doing so, someone approached them from the path leading to the village. Kesh and Nissa, however, would hear an odd soft sound. It was like water droplets were falling just before she got into sight of everyone. <br>

As she spoke up, her voice was old, slightly feminine and surprisingly powerful. <span style="color: #4682B4"><b>“I'll have to ask you to refrain from tampering with our village's protection.”</b></span> She said, keeping a bit of a distance from the group but still clearly showing her dismay at what they were doing here. Those that had been to the village would recognise her clothing style and some symbols to be in line with that they'd have seen there, just a more shamanist version of it. <br>

<br>
After navigating though the Marshes, the threads that appeared to connect the general area lead her and the group to the eerie remains of what appeared to be a chapel.<br>
 <br>
It was then that Baharius mentioned his plan, although she didn’t see any harm in it, she followed after Clarice, who had then made a bit of a rude comment in naming them all sheep. The witch then blurts out, “Baa!! Baa!!” Before quickly bringing her hands to her mouth. “Aw! Come on Clarice! We’re not THAT bad.. are we?” She asked, blinking quickly. “We’ve made it this far!” <br>
<br>
When Cayde offered the scented substance, she nodded in agreement. “Great idea!” She said happily, as the potion was applied. “Ooooo.. I smell really good now!” Going up to Clarice she gets close. “How do I smell? Pretty good huh?” Little did Scylla know however, that under that helm Clarice, was on the brink of bursting out in pure rage. <br>
<br>
As she looked around she could see the crimson stains of blood, what was most concerning to Scylla however were the fresher stains. Bringing her limbs close, her blood began to run cold. “I.. I admit.. I’m a little freaked out about this place.” She said, trying to chuckle. “I’m just going to say someone keeps coming here to spill ketchup. Probably some kiddos making the place look creepy. Right?” Then upon further inspection she nearly threw up the cake she just ate. “Nngh! W-what in all the nine hells?!?” She took a few steps back, one holding her stomach the other over her mouth, immensely freaked out. <br>
<br>
The witches knees trembled a bit, anxious and on overly high alert when suddenly Clarice exploded into a fit, pulling off her helm and throwing it furiously across the place. The Witch nearly took off running the opposite way, feeling her heart skip many beats. It was quite much for the sensitive Scylla, but she wouldn’t shriek she simply couldn’t. <br>
<br>
“why’d you-“ she said panting quickly, while she listened to her rant about how no one was doing enough. “I get it Clarice! I know you’re frustrated, and you’re right, we haven’t been making the best choices. I thought we’d just be here looking for a cute little plant and then head back. But..” she paused, “I’m scared as hell and I can’t think straight!!”  <br>
<br>
Shocked and frightened by the scene she just witnessed the witch retreated back outside, looking like she’d just seen a ghost. If anyone would ask she’d reply: “you don’t want to know.” <br>
<br>
A few moments later the bunny paladin began her cleansing spell that required some time to channel for it to fully cleanse the place. Glancing towards where she had just entered and remembering what had been branded into her mind she felt it was definitely for the best. <br>
<br>
Only to be interrupted by the appearance of an oddly robed figure appearing from the shadows, advising them not to proceed with the paladins channeling. <br>
<br>
Mustering her courage Scylla stepped forward. “What exactly is such deeply disturbing foul magic like this protecting you from, stranger?” An oddly determined face suddenly coming over her expression.</div>

			Cayde nodded to Baharius' suggestion, agreeing that some torches would make this ordeal much more manageable. He still had some worries, but he figured it'd be best to say while making his own preparations. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I'll get right on it, Baharius. But if the Banshee shows up, I don't think fire alone will hold her off. We might need to step in and stall her ourselves,"</span> </b>Cayde said, fumbling through his pack and removing several tools and his ingredients pouch, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Still, if the fire keeps those spirits away, it's a win in my book."</span> </b>

</blockquote><br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"I do not expect this to be a full-proof solution,"</span></b> Baharius admitted frankly to the alchemist, as he planted another torch into the ground, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"It's just as a means to give the paladin time to go through with the ritual. Any amount will be vital, even if it's for a second more."</span></b><br>
<br>
Sometime later, Cayde concocted a sweet-smelling potion and offered it to everyone, including Baharius, as a means to have Kesh identify them as the real ones if the fourth creature returned to try and fool them again. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Ah, good thinking Cayde,"</span></b> the saurian thanked graciously as he proceeded to uncork the vial and smother the liquid on his body, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Best to test it out on the field at this point."</span></b>. Turned out he went through with Baharius' suggestion, although the ex-general didn't bother to announce how it was originally his idea. He wasn't the vain kind of individual to do that, less he felt that he was being slandered in the process.<br>
<br>
Baharius quickly scooped up another long rotten plank and was about to light it before Kesh came over and asked for said plank for a device she was making. The saurian paused to glance at the piece of wood and then back at the ratkin with a curious look. Yet before he could accept or decline Kesh's offer, the rat-woman got to work on making a strange stick contraption, using pieces of her own clothing to tie the contraption together and a surprising amount of ingenuity.<br>
<br>
Suddenly, he'd hear the sound of a metal object violently hitting the ground followed by a cry of sheering rage. He noticed Scylla reacting timidly to the sudden noise, almost looking as if she was about to turn tail and flee. Baharius' head immediately perked up and cocked towards the direction of the disturbance. It was Clarice; now absolutely livid and having a mental breakdown in front of the entire group. Her tantrum had her focus her boiling rage on Cayde, Kesh, and Baharius himself, calling them out for their so-called "poor decisions" and how they should all be going about investigating this place amongst other things amiss the chaos.<br>
<br>
Baharius' eye twitched as he listened to her mad rambling, echoing the superior aura of Nissa but in a much more explosive and obvious manner. Yet as she'd finish her piece and head towards the Chapel to investigate it for herself, the saurian general would let her go without a word, though not out of sheer fear or anger. He was much more confused than anything. He knew Clarice wasn't the most sociable or "happy-go-lucky" of the group, but this seemed just a bit too extreme for the situation at hand. It felt odd...<br>
<br>
By the time Kesh was finished with her building, all that was left on her was a conveniently placed piece of clothing acting essentially as a loin-cloth. The saurian general nearly looked away from her in a considerate manner, really not expecting the whole outcome to come to this conclusion, but ultimately made sure that his eyes were focused solely on the device presented to him. It looked something resembling a makeshift crossbow or a sling, making it more prominent for the fact that Kesh required he slid his long plank in the sling slot.<br>
<br>
Baharius' stressed brow perked up as he glanced towards a timid Kesh and smirked. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Why you are full of surprises, little one,"</span></b> he replied with a positive and encouraging tone, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"I'm impressed."</span></b> He proceeded to kneel down and give Kesh the piece of wood with a nod. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Let's see how it works."</span></b></div>

After distributing his makeshift perfume to the party, Cayde leaned back, eagerly awaiting their feedback. Fortunately for him, it came, delivered in the form of a scalding tirade by Clarice herself. He heard Scylla join in, too, though her words were far more sorrowful than the latter. Regardless, both had moved on before he could get a word in edgewise, leaving him utterly bewildered, ashamed, and reminiscent of his rage-fueled rant not too long ago. He sighed regretfully at the memory; there was still nothing he could say to amend his words, same as there was nothing he could say to console either ally. However, there was one thing he <i>could</i> do, Cayde knew: give them their space and plenty of it. It'd calmed him down - he hoped it'd work for them, too. But, in the meantime, there was work to do.<br>
<br>
As the last torch was stabbed into the ground, work was done. Cayde sauntered back to the group, dusting his hands and wearing a satisfied grin formed by whatever shred of optimism he had left. Sure, there was the Banshee, the impostor, the hag, the group dynamic, Kate's apparent resurrection, this swamp, his sanity, and a nearly infinite list of things for him to worry about - but he was getting <i>closer </i>to vanquishing this Banshee and, by extension, closer to returning home. <i>That</i> deserved a smile, at the very least. As for his almost-naked apprentice ahead of him, he decided that deserved a lung-rupturing gasp.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"OH MY GOD! KESH!" </span></b><br>
<br>
Cayde's jacket was already in his hands, rushing forwards to shield Kesh from the gaze of his allies. And especially the eye of the shamanistic woman who'd seemingly appeared out of nowhere, rebuking them for 'tampering' with her village's protection. That made him stop his advance, equal parts skepticism, and confusion filling his head. Who was this woman? Cayde wondered, most importantly, why did she think they were attempting to sabotage the village? They were helping, weren't they? He'd saved the questions for later. Right now, Kesh's modesty mattered the most.<br>
<br>
Eventually, Cayde caught up, throwing his jacket over Kesh to cover her up. He still didn't know <i>what</i> pushed her to do that<i>, </i>but in her hands, he saw <i>why</i> she did it - Baharius did too, and he was just as nurturing as Cayde always thought him to be. The saurial hadn't made him lose his faith in him for a second - that was beyond admirable. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"<i>Thank you,"</i></b></span> Cayde muttered to him, giving an appreciative and curiously moved his gaze over the wood/cloth contraption. He'd seen Kesh tinker before but never had he ever watched her create what seemed to be a bushcraft crossbow. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"So that's what you were doing with your clothes..?" </b></span>He furrowed his brows for a moment but gave an aloof shrug shortly after. After this was all over, he'd have to take her to a seamer, but she still crafted something other than drugs - that in itself was an achievement, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Crafty. So, how does it work?" </b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 15px">Nissa didn't care much for what was happening; the swamp was just a swamp in her mind. However, this swamp seemed to be much more dangerous than others. Glancing over her shoulder at Clarice, who seemed to be fed up with everything going on here, she found it strange that there was a village in the swamp. Meaning there was more to this place than just being devoid of civilization. Though to say that she cared to learn about the history here was a complete lie. <br>
<br>
She glanced toward the alchemist as he talked about his potion that was supposed to discern friend from foe. <span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Hey, plague doctor, you realize we are in a swamp, right? It's hot here; people sweat, and eventually, that will get removed from the body, and then we are back to square one." </span>Nissa pointed out as put some of the liquid on and then rejoined the blonde haired girl as she pulled out a flask of something. <span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"God that is the smartest thing someone has suggested all day," </span>Nissa commented, standing around as she waited for the paladin to start doing her thing. <br>
<br>
In her mind the only person slightly interesting was Clarice and the others were dead weight not willing to do what they have to do in order to survive. <span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"You are all a bunch-" </span>Nissa stopped as the sound of water droplets was heard, her head going to the origin of the sound as the divine light started to appear. Nissa didn't want to get anywhere near it and was content to say at the edges of the area as the woman appeared. <span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Oh now that is interesting," </span>Nissa spoke as she started to wonder if the hag had a connection to this place. </span><br>

Considering none of her make-shift allies asked her to stop, Abha decided to ignore the shaman and continued her ritual. As the light was spreading further, now reaching the church itself, Nissa (still outside) would feel the unpleasant burning sensation upon her skin first. Kalina (still inside) would feel it a bit later. It wouldn't kill them or wound them, but it was definitely unpleasant, somewhere between the itching of a mosquito bite and hot, burning feeling of a severe sunburn. It'd be difficult not to just start scratching at it. To the others, it'd feel like a comfortable warmth enveloped them. <br>
<br>
As Abha predicted, the cleansing magic drew out some of the evil forces in this area. In the corners of their eyes, they would soon see the shades starting to move around. Although the light from the torches didn't stop them, it did make them stand out a lot more. At first, one might just assume to be seeing things, but they slowly took a more solid, clearly formed shape.<br>

It wasn't long before the first of them tried making their way towards Abha. The things were pretty fast, heading in a straight line for the rabbit. That said, a simple slash through their body would be enough to make them vanish (same for being hit by the torch-launcher or other weapons). Even so, they'd reappear again elsewhere, further away in the cover of dark, after a while. It was clear that these shades had little physical form or influence, meaning it didn't take much to disturb their form and temporarily vanish them, but it was equally difficult to harm them permanently. It also seemed like their numbers were increasing and that they were all drawn towards one goal; stopping Abha's ritual.<br>

The shaman was clearly preparing something as well. <span style="color: #4682B4"><b>“I'll give all of you one more chance to stop this.”</b></span> She threatened. As she was preparing her spell, mist started to slowly seep from the ground surrounding her. <br>
<br>

In the church, meanwhile, Kalina was trying not to drool at the scent of fresh blood. She also tried to act like she wasn't bothered by Abha's magic the moment it reached the church, no matter how much her skin was itching and getting annoyed by it. She wasn't particularly great at either of those things. Like Clarice, she spotted the the tether, but she had no clue what in the world it was or what it did. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“What is this..? What do we do with it?”</b></span> She tried asking Clarice as the latter was investigating it. Her instinct was to just destroy it, but she figured she'd suppress that instinct.</div>

<article class="message-body js-selectToQuote">
			
				
			

			<div itemprop="text">
				
					<div class="bbWrapper">Did Scylla just <i>bleat</i> at her?  Yes, she did, and in doing so, she has won a spectacular prize!  Oh, this won't do at all: Scylla is all the way over there while Clarice is all the way over here!  Seeing as Clarice will die - just <i>die</i> - if Scylla doesn't receive her prize posthaste, she resolves to pitch it <i>forcefully</i> at Scylla's feet!<br>
<br>
And now, to prevent La Ratona, who possesses all the charm, good breeding, cunning, and derring-do of Swiper from Dora the Explorer, from appropriating the reward Scylla so richly deserves (that miscreant is the runner-up for this prestigious award, after all), Clarice seethes.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041">I volunteered to search this godsdamned swamp with you, and this is how you treat me?</span><br>
<br>
Warm blood trickles down Clarice's unarmored fist as her nails pierce her left palm.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">You mock me when I do what little I can to protect you?  These incorrigible fools would rope you into a battle you cannot win, and when I protest, you belittle me!</span><br>
<br>
Like an animal, Clarice bares her teeth.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041">I owe you a debt for restoring my sight, but make no mistake, once that debt is repaid, our business is concluded!</span><br>
<br>
Scylla's announcement elicits a derisive snort from Clarice.  She can't think straight?  Ha!  That's <i>normal</i>; she self-identifies as a ditz!  In every glimmering facet of her blessed life, Scylla consistently fails to devote the proper care and attention to her actions and the world around her. Clarice posits that Scylla's behavior will only change when someone dies on account of her mistakes.  Simulations would be insufficient to evoke permanent behavioral modifications, based on the experiment she conducted on Cayde, Baharius, and Lyse.<br>
<br>
As Scylla withdraws, Clarice gets to work.  Without delay, she dons her leather left glove, covers her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and trudges to the edge of the mass grave.  Only after Scylla has cleared out and the investigation of the corpse pile has commenced does Clarice consider how to answer Kate's question.<br>
<br>
While she doesn't bother facing Kate, Clarice is a tad more level-headed when she addresses Kate (but only just a tad).  At least Kate is attempting to make sense of the situation.  That's worth something.<br>
<br>
Or she is being disingenuous with the intent of dispatching Clarice while they are alone.  That's a distinct possibility...<br>
<br>
<b>[Not an Action - Physics (F): Popperian Philosophy of Science]</b><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">  You're on the right track, Kate, but you need to go one step further.  Step back and evaluate your assumptions and biases.</span><br>
<br>
Clarice kneels at the edge of the pit.  She is less disturbed by the sight than Scylla.  Having seen men, women, and children doled out as food and party favors during the Red Festival, she is inured against the sight, though the stench of decay sends her stomach into a tizzy.  As disturbing as the sight may be, Clarice squirrels it away in the hopes that the image might be put to good use by the few scrupulous folks at the Academy.  Mercifully, she is able to channel her anger into her work and power through without losing her liquid lunch.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041">Think back to our first encounter with the "hag."  We accepted that the creature we encountered was the infamous Hag of the Overgrown Marshes because we had no evidence that might contradict that conclusion.  We have since verified that one of our adversaries has the ability to change shape, so we must revisit the hypothesis that our quest giver is a hag.</span><br>
<br>
<b>[Action 1 - Investigation (F) + Thought Process Acceleration (F): Visually Scan the Corpses]</b>  Clarice takes in the gory scene before her.<br>
<br>
<ol>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">She notes the absence of damages inflicted post-mortem by scavenging animals.  Wards are in play.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Judging by the liquifying flesh and the sickening stench, bacterial decay is well-underway.  The environment is not sanitary.  Ergo, the wards deterring the scavengers do not drain creatures of life.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">The floating gem is an obvious source of arcane power.  One of three possibilities must hold true:<ol>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">The gem powers wards Clarice cannot see (perhaps wards buried beneath the corpses).</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">The gem is a ward.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">The gem is a red-herring.</li>
</ol></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">The gem's placement is significant.  If it could have been hidden out-of-sight, it would be out-of-sight - unless it is a trap.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">The wounds that the corpses bear confirm part of Kate's story: their uniformity is indicative of ritualistic murder - serial killing, if you will.  At this stage of decay, a dissection might reveal whether the killers removed any organs, but that would have to wait until Clarice could procure an ample supply of antibacterial agents, scalpels, bonesaws, rubber gloves, and a melange of medical supplies.</li>
</ol>While her eyes studiously examine the mass grave, Clarice continues to present her argument concerning the true identity of the “hag.”<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041">Did our quest giver behave like a hag?  Not at all.  It made no bawdy jokes, it lied to us outright instead of being needlessly cryptic, it displayed no aptitude for negotiations, it showed us no hag magic, and it left as quickly as it could.  It was underwhelming, and I can assure you that hags are anything but!  We were quick to chalk that all up to this hag's mixed ancestry, but I don't think that's how hags work.  Hags turn witches into more hags in order to populate their covens.  If the fairytales are true, it's an all or nothing transformation.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">So no, I do not believe that the hag has lied to us, for we have falsified our first working theory.  I posit that the creature we met at the start was, in fact, the imposter.  It followed us through the swamp, and attempted to advance its true agenda by exploiting the fog the banshee created.  Why?  Because it is too weak to act against us openly and too weak to achieve its agenda without our assistance.  What that agenda is, I cannot say, but it explains why the quote-unquote hag was so quick to acquiesce to our demands.  It has no intention of fulfilling its side of the bargain, by the by, so <i>if you were hoping to wish for your resurrection, no dice.</i></span><br>
<br>
Clarice hears the paladin canting a prayer outside of the chapel.  Realizing that she is out of time, Clarice lies down on her belly at the edge of the mass grave.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">Now, would you kindly back up ten or fifteen feet?  I'm going to try to move this floating crystal, and I have no idea what will happen.  If we were in my </span><span style="color: #e25041">lab, I'd offer you a pair of safety goggles and move you behind a blast shield, but we're in the middle of a godsforsaken swamp.  You'll have to make do with a pile of rubble or something.</span><br>
<br>
For a scant second, she hesitates.  Much like Scylla, she is frightened, but she accepts her fear for what it is: a tool she can wield and discard.  She inhales deeply, and liquid courage, adrenaline, and an iron will steel her nerve.  When her lips part, she speaks with grim determination.  Her voice resounds with purpose and courage.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041">If I don't survive this, tell the rest of the group that I forfeited my life to atone for their carelessness, and see to it that Scylla makes it back to the Academy.  If she doesn't make it back in time, she'll fail another class.<br>
<br>
And if the banshee still imperils you, remember that the remains of its child lie in this pit.  Seeing them might be enough to break it's curse, and if it doesn't, interring the corpses of the mother and child in the village's graveyard after administering all pertinent death rites should do the trick.</span><br>
<br>
<b>[Action 2 - Telekinesis (F): Move the Floating Crystal]</b>  With that, Clarice focuses on the crystal, attempting to guide it as far from the ritual site as she can (10 feet - the diameter of the volume she can affect) with an outstretched arm and psionic force, and if that has no obvious negative effect...<br>
<br>
<b>[Action 3 - Movement (If Possible)]</b>  Clarice attempts to rush the crystal, seize it with her mithril gauntlet, and carry it away from the ritual site.</div>

As he waited to see what Kesh's device was capable of doing, it was here where Baharius finally locked eyes with the Shaman coming into view from is peripheral. So this village wasn't quite as abandoned as he initially thought. He glanced past both the alchmeist and ratkin, observing the scene unfolding closely. The old woman asked them, in a surprisingly robust manner for her age, to cease with their tampering against the village's natural defenses; her gaze glaring in Abha's direction while she continued conjuring her ritual. The saurian's clenching grip on his great-sword began to grow hardier, with his first instinct wanting him to attack the Shaman for interfering with their efforts to earn their freedom out of the swamp.<br>
<br>
Then again, they now encroached on the grounds of someone else's territory and are indeed trying to go against the wishes of the owner. It was a scene he was unfortunately familiar with.<br>
<br>
Baharius began to take a few steps forward in the direction of the Shaman, wanting to ask her what she was doing, before witnessing the spirits of the dead slowly manifest into dark figures. The party was now stuck between two opposing magical forces, each competing against each other for control of the marshes. One was a holy paladin, her warm glow casting a pleasant aura on the Saurian's scaly skin; the other was a Shaman, about to cast something in defense of her own home with spirits coming to help her stop with Abha's meddling. With the situation was getting dicer by the second and the general was forced to make a last ditch call.<br>
<br>
And then, with a loud bellowing roar, the several hundred pound hulk of muscle and bone ran - his blade extended and readied -  towards Abha's position. He lunged his blade forward towards the closest shadow, trying to protect Abha from immediate harm as he separated both parties from interacting. He rose his blade across his chest, holding both sides in a guarding maneuver, and would attempt to tank any damage coming their way.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Abha, Stop!"</span></b> Baharius called out desperately for everyone to hear as he continued to guard the paladin from the shadowy onslaught, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Cease the ritual! I have a terrible feeling we're missing something crucial here! Let us stop and give the elder a chance to explain herself before we both do something we'll all regret!"</span></b></div>

<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“I want to go home!” </span>She cries as she stomps her feet before the witch starts making her way out.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “I don’t belittle you! I just want you to make friends! Soooorry for caring about your social life!”</span> It’s as if Clarices attempts to get her to see things her way went in one ear and out the other.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Uhm.. be careful with whatever is in that pit though.. okay?”</span> She managed to resist another heave of her stomach before finally leaving.<br>
<br>
Under Scylla’s facade however, Clarice made a bit of a dent. Although as spacey as she was, she couldn’t help but wonder if she was right. What if they hadn’t tried to help? What if they simply went about their way and never got involved with this groups goals. And instead found this plant and left? Furthermore, what if she made the wrong choice by saving the bunny?<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“No way..” </span>she muttered under her voice, assuring herself.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..Clarice is just throwing a tantrum again. I’ll just.. be more careful.”</span><br>
<br>
---<br>
<br>
There was much Scylla didn’t know and quite frankly didn’t have much of a comeback. She grunted and took a step back as the shaman began to channel her magics.<br>
<br>
Then the shades appeared. Eerie and quick moving as they defied the laws of movement as they twisted the air around them to create their swift presence. It seemed they were at the precipice of a very bad confrontation. What was worse was that there was no defining right or wrong answer. The witch had no place to tamper with a villages protection, however crude and gruesome it could be. Considering she just experienced said creatures and abominations in this swamp, it was only proper to place wards.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Alright..”</span> she muttered, then turned around to look at the others, only to flinch at Kesh’s nearly bare form.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “W-what are you doing?!”</span> She whispered with a shrilly pitched voice. Upon sighting her contraption however the witch puckered her lips, a bit impressed at how she made something apparently useful with so little.<br>
<br>
However this wasn’t the time to show off crafty gizmo making. Clarices words still echoed in the witches mind, so she entertained the idea of thinking a bit more like her. Taking a few steps towards Abha the witch tapped her shoulder.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Excuse me, miss cute-adorable bunny? Yeah, so this is a lovely cleansing ritual, but unfortunately we seem to have gotten a bit ahead of ourselves. Maybe we can take a break?”</span> Scylla gave the bunny a cutesy look, it was difficult not to when referring to the cute bunny. Although, she hoped she didn’t lose her trust earlier thanks to her blunder in trying to get her to ally with the group. She held out hope for friendship, however.<br>
<br>
It then seemed Baharius was of a similar thought when he quickly asked Abha to do the same. His pleas were much more desperate. However she could understand his point as he fended off the shades.<br>
<br>
As they grew in number, Scylla would join in with Baharius, fending the shades off with elemental fire darts<i><b> [Fire Affinity].</b></i><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Yes. I’m with the lizard man as well!”</span> She looked over at the scowling shaman, she seemed quite powerful. Much more so the act of starting a fight when clearly outnumbered. Perhaps this would just buy the other two at the altar a bit more time.</div>

The shaman's grim warning was enough for Cayde to divert his attention away from Kesh's invention. Only then would he see the ghostly shades speeding past his peripherals and hear the foreign chanting of the shaman ahead of him. He didn't need any more convincing - there <i>wasn't</i> going to be any ritual, and that was that—no room for negotiating, no room for refusal. There went two of his weapons, Cayde realized, but his hand was already reaching for his next. <br>
<br>
Baharius' roar had stopped him, and as Cayde turned to look, the sight of the saurial and Scylla fending off a horde of shades brought a horrified expression to his face. Although he did find it endearing that they both came together to defend Abha, the appearance of even more shades quickly returned him to the present. There was <i>no way</i> he'd come out of this with fighting alone, so, with Baharius' plea still settling in his head, Cayde frantically raised his palms in surrender. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Yeah! We'll stop, okay?!"</span> </b>He took a few steps back, attempting to usher Kesh with him, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Look, we all got off the wrong foot. Maybe... maybe I can explain all this."</span><br>
<br>
 </b>An explanation had worked with Abha; perhaps it'd work here too? Of course, Cayde couldn't say it'd go as well as it did the last time, but the shaman didn't want to harm the group directly - she just wanted them away from the altar. Maybe a quick conversation would ease the tension just a little. The idea sounded reasonable in his head, yet a surge of anxiety coursed through him nonetheless, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"We're here to vanquish a Banshee, and we've reason to believe she's tethered to this place, hence the ritual. We dunno how long she's been here, but we all figured it'd be best to put her troubled spirit to rest</span></b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">.</span>" He explained, eyes locked onto the shaman. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I promise, we had no intentions of sabotaging your village. If our ritual is causing harm - we'll stop immediately, alright?"</span></b><br>
<br>
With that out of the way, Cayde prepared himself for the hard part. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"But please understand, we <i>must</i> get rid of this Banshee."</span> </b>He didn't know how the shaman would react to that - likely with that spell she was charging up, he assumed. Still, he persisted, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"If we can't do our ritual, perhaps there's another way to get this done? Maybe we can come to a compromise?</span>" </b>Regardless of her answer, Cayde hoped he'd get a little insight on this woman or, at the very least, stall her enough for the others to return. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"</span><b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">And one more thing, yeah?" </span></b>He asked urgently, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Can you please stop sicking these</span></b> <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><i>things </i>on us? We've no intention to fight them, too. We just can't let them hurt our new friend." </span></b>Whether she had control over the spirits or not, he was unsure, but it wouldn't hurt to ask<b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">.</span></b></div>

The drugs must have been affecting her still as time seemed to pass again, Kesh looked up at the large Baharius, showing her contraption, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Balthazar! it's a weapon!</span></b> " The Ratkin was overjoyed with her contraption once she knew the large lizard was impressed.

Thanks, Clyde. </span></b>" Kesh hugged herself with Cayde's coat on, Kesh held her makeshift crossbow smiling.<br>
<br>
With the appearance of the shaman, Kesh's eyes widen as she climbed onto Baharius' back and stood on his shoulder holding her crossbow, "<b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"> There are ghost-spirits out there!</span></b> " Kesh called as she aimed her contraption at the strange shadows near the torches, growing confidence as she held her powerful contraption.

"<b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"> With the power of Skitterer's juggle muggles, I will fire thee the war of flames! </span></b>" Kesh pointed her large stick crossbow from Baharius' shoulder, shooting a flaming torch at one with a crazy laugh before she stopped, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">waitwhatarewedoing? </span></b>" Kesh asked looking over at the shaman, she jumped off the lizard and landed on the ground quickly moving to the shaman, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Miss woman-lady, what do we need to do?</span></b> " Kesh asked listening to the air.

A lot of things were going down at once, but there was one particular trigger that would have a rippling effect setting everything in motion a chain of events notable to everyone present. That was Clarice setting off with the magic tether. The events leading up to it were a bit less spectacular, for what it was worth. Perhaps Clarice would've noticed Kalina stare a bit too intensely at her bleeding palm or perhaps that'd have gone past her attention. Either way, Kalina wasn't scowled out of existence, so that was a win in her book. <br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="font-size: 18px"><span style="color: #778899">Chandra Jarmil</span><br>

After seeing the gore at Dahak's place, Kalina didn't particularly feel fazed by the mass grave. She instead listened to what theory Clarice had come up with. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“That does sound plausible.”</b></span> She said, upon the suggestion their quest giver might not even be a hag to begin with. There was one point that confused her. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“How do you know what hags are like, have you met one before?”</b></span> She got her answer short after though, fairy tales. It was a bit tough to take Clarice serious when she based a lot of her theory on fairy tales. There was another thing she didn't get. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Why would the imposter tell us to kill the rabbit only to try take it away from us? The rabbit seemed to hint at the idea it'd been helping her, sort-off, as well, so it seems odd it'd then just tell other to go kill her.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She made sure to ignore the mention of 'resurrection' there, as she had honestly giving up on acting at this stage and figured it was better just to ignore it. As for backing up, her best bet was to just walk outside again and chose the sturdiest looking tree around. Clarice was oddly dramatic, but that was not something worth addressing. She'd just reply with <span style="color: #778899"><b>“As you wish.””</b></span> to the requests and advice. <br>
<br>
Moving the crystal was surprisingly easy. Whomever put it there had clearly not counted on someone being able to use telekinesis. However, as she ran out of the building, she was spotted by the Shaman. After all, the crystal was giving off a pretty noticeable dim glue glow. <br>

Before Clarice set off, however, Abha was pressed by both Baharius and Scylla. She clearly didn't look happy about it, but stopped her chanting midway. The effect was immediate, as the light dissipated in a flash and caused enough kickback to have Abha hurl out what little was in her stomach. Coughing a lot and clearly being disgruntled, she muttered... <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“I hope you know what you're doing, I can't start this up again any time soon.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Baharius, Kesh and Scylla had been successful at keeping the shades at bay. One thing to note, was that they didn't even seem to know the two of them existed. Their only focus was Abha. Although they didn't disappear when Abha stopped her chanting, they stopped attacking and just lingered around in the distance. <br>

The Shaman, meanwhile, was about to answer Cayde when Kesh mentioned droplets. <span style="color: #4682B4"><b>“You're imagining things, vermin.”</b></span> The Shaman was quick to snap back at the rat. <span style="color: #4682B4"><b>“And those spirits are drawn to her magic, so just tell her to stop it and never to start it up again.”</b></span><br>
<br>
However, when Kesh kept sprinting at her, she attempted to move backwards, only to be too late. The moment Kesh was close, she'd realise this woman was <i>weird</i>. Even in a drug-fueled state, this wasn't something she'd normally see. The woman smelled like swamp water from the strands of her hair to the very tips of her toes and it was almost like one could hear water splash around with every single movement she made. In fact, from up close, it was almost like she was soaking wet, yet at the same time, it was like the 'wet' part was part of her in some way or another. <span style="color: #4682B4"><b>“Call back your creature or I'll be forced to attack it!”</b></span> She called out to Cayde.<br>
<br>
That's when she spotted Clarice running off with the tether. <span style="color: #4682B4"><b>“Stop it!””</b></span> She called, as she fired off a water bolt at Clarice. A normal splash of water would probably not harm a soul, but the force of this one was enough to snap a few branches, until it crashed into one of the trees, unable to reach its mark. As Clarice kept making distance from the site, she'd feel the resistance of the crystal increase, making it more and more difficult to pull along. Until, all of a sudden, it was like something snapped loose or broke. Almost on instinct, she'd likely realise that she'd broke the tether lose from whatever spells it was fuelling. The effect of it could be spotted almost immediately, as almost like a blur, something passed her by. Only when it stopped at the pit of corpses was it clearly visible.<br>

It was the Banshee. With the mist no longer surrounding it, it was indistinctly drawn to the place she'd been looking for for many, many years. <span style="color: #2F4F4F"><b>“My child...”</b></span> She whispered, as the ghostly form reached for something in the pit, shortly afterwards vanishing with a sigh of relief. It happened quickly enough to almost be anticlimactic, weren't it for the immediate follow-up effects. Its presence had been strong enough to disturb something else; the wards. The first to notice where the shades that had been attracted by Abha's ritual, as they now made their way to the pit instead, before vanishing like the Banshee had done. Although it was a bit later, the first Corpse Beetle managed to find its way to the remains surprisingly quickly afterwards, soon to be followed up by many others of its kind.<br>

As Kalina had withdrawn whilst Clarice ran off with the tether, she had made her way to rejoin the rest and observe the shaman. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I bet it really is some type of imposter, like Clarice said. I say we slay her!”</b></span> She called out to the others, readying he crossbow and laying aim at the Shaman. She only needed a signal from one of the others to fire.</div>

Kesh noticed how rude the shaman was being, even when she was trying to be nice. Kesh wanted to help but was getting nothing but rudeness back. It kinda hurt her feelings if the Ratkin was honest. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">You hurt my feelings-emotions.</span></b> " Kesh said innocently with a hint of sadness. Although she sniffed the air and got a strange... Smell. She was weird... Weird weird. Kesh thought herself as weird but this was a weirder weird. Werid? Wierd? No. Weird. Weird. Weird-strange. Kesh wiped her hand over her nose to clear the blue powder off. Even as she could feel the effects of the drugs she was under, it never messed with her sense of smell and perception.<br>
<br>
The Ratkin was still holding her weakly crafted weapon. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Okay. Kesh will leave you alone. </span></b>" Kesh stated looking a bit embarrassed. She knew what she had to do. Taking a step back and turning away, she quickly would swing back with her fire weapon ready. Kesh began to fire as many shots as it could at the shaman. She wasnt right! " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Fire burns-maims! </span></b>" Despite having fear in her chest, she knew she had to try something. She already threatened to kill Kesh and harm the others. She was probably what was causing this. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">She's weird! She smells of swamp water and... And... She moved weird! Like swamp water!</span></b> " Kesh was obviously afraid but she needed to Garner her courage.</div>

</b> (Nissa) |<br>​</div><br>
Once Abha ceased the ritual, the dark spirits would stop their relentless approach and retreated to linger in the outskirts. Baharius breathed an uneasy sigh of relief, as his eyes studied their movements to make sure they weren't going to reengage when his back was turned. That being said, he noticed earlier how they barely paid attention to their interfere, only concentrating on Abha and stopping her ritual. He wasn't sure what they would, or could, do to her once they caught her, but he wasn't willing to find out.<br>
<br>
On a separate note, Baharius was more than impressed with Kesh's improvised weapon. The scarred side of his face glanced at the nearly-naked ratkin and gave a slight toothy smile.<br>
<br>
Feeling satisfied enough that the sahdes weren't going to reengage, the general slowly lowered his blade. Abha didn't seem truly happy about what the saurian ordered, hoping he and the others knew what they were doing as she was unable to start this up again for awhile. The general looked back at her and nodded, acknowledging the situation, before walking towards the village elder to further defuse the situation. Cayde would be the first to open up the party's apologizes, only for the shaman to order the removal of his "creature" before she'd attack it.<br>
<br>
And when Clarice emerged from the chapel, carrying what looked to be a crystal, the shaman fired a water bolt at the fleeing woman. Baharius began to grow wary of the situation, but still held back to see what happened next. And good thing too. For what he saw ultimately transpire from Clarice's actions resulted in quelling the banshee herself - now finally finding her "child" - resulting in her and the other shades vanishing into the pit from where they came. She did it! The baleful spirit was finally at peace and marked 2 out of the 4 remaining creatures.<br>
<br>
And yet, it failed to calm the livid shaman.<br>
<br>
With venom oozing from the elderly's actions, attempting to belittle an exhausted party that simply wanted to leave this cursed place, Baharius' growled as he slowly stomped towards her with purposeful intent. He was already getting sick of her aggressive antics... and he was absolutely sick of her "superior" rambling. He already took enough of that attitude from Nissa and Clarice respectively and while they've begun to slowly redeem themselves by their contributions to the party, he still needed a moment to let these frustrations out. He gave her a chance after all... and she chose to waste it.<br>
<br>
The reptilian general loomed over the feeble shaman, his cold slit-eyes dilating as they locked upon the shaman's own in a darkened gaze. He then stabbed his blade into the dark muck, causing a splattering of wet mud to be flung outwards, possibly dirtying the shaman's attire. How were they going to fix all of this, she said? He already had an idea. With a resentful growl, Baharius responded coldly:<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"With your <u>silence</u>."</span></b><br>
<br>
As soon as he finished, Kesh would fire a flaming torch into the Shaman using her make-shift crossbow. Yet Baharius wouldn't react to this sudden turn in events, only continuing to glare at his quarry. Unlike what happened with Abha, Baharius wasn't going to step in to help this time. He showed no pity or remorse towards this insignificant hag. And with her now distracted, it acted as a signal for him to finally speak to his inner primal nature.<br>
<br>
It was now or never.<br>
<br>
In one sudden act of pure unbridled savagery, Baharius opened his gaping maw and attempted to bite down on the ancient hag's entire upper-torso. If it was to connect, he would have no intention to let go. Whether or not this was truly the right thing to do, didn't matter to him now. He was at his breaking point; and it would be best if he let it out on her before unleashing it on anyone else. Using his powerful neck and jaw muscles to lift her into the air, the saurian would see himself begin violently shaking into the poor woman's gnarled and burning flesh like a ragdoll. And as he did, his claws would attempt to sink onto the woman's back like meathooks, slowly dragging them from her waist down to her belly in a brutal messy act of disembowelment.</div>

“Something is amiss here..” Scylla said, looking at Baharius after noticing the Shamans voice change pitches then turning to the bunny who just puked. “Uhm, looks like you need to eat something soon..” taking a few steps away to avoid the smell of bile. “..if I smell puke, then I’ll start puking, then pretty soon everyone will be puking.. even the voice changing-oily shaman-witch lady of there.” <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
When Scylla turned to look at their rival, Kesh was already quite up close. “Uh, Kesh, I think you’re kind of, sort of in this lady’s personal bubble..” she chuckled nervously, Scylla had absolutely no authority over her and  by the look of the ratkins overall mood, she was quite drugged up again. “..she doesn’t seem very nice.” <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
However, her lax demeanor would take a sudden turn when the shaman fired a water bolt at Clarice. “Watch out!! Ahhh!! Clarice!!” She shrieked, reaching to her, luckily the conjurer missed and strikes a branch, to which Scylla turned to her, with a fierce expression. “You’re going time regret that!” Suddenly, the witch channeled her magic, a fiery aura suddenly appeared, surrounding the witch in an infernal sphere. Then it would just as suddenly disappear as the fiery sphere was harnessed into her staff, engulfing it in elemental flame. “Fiery gust!!” She exclaimed when she finally released her spell straight at the Shaman. <br>

Cayde had considered calling Kesh back. Running up to people was another one of her habits he had to endure, and it had already gotten him in an awkward situation once before. At least he could apologize to Scylla; as for the shaman, he felt words wouldn't make him any less likely to die if Kesh decided to mug her. Also, Scylla was right. He, too, agreed that the shaman didn't look completely friendly, especially after snapping at Kesh and firing magic out at Clarice. That didn't necessarily scream <i>nice</i> to him.<br>
<br>
Neither was the sudden reappearance of the Banshee. But just as quickly as she showed up, she vanished into the pit, taking the shades alongside her. Cayde could vaguely hear the relief in the ghost's voice as it was vanquished, though that didn't make him any less surprised, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Wait..we did it?"</span> </b>A half-nervous, half-excited chuckle started to erupt from him, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Yeah! Ha! We did it!</span>" </b>He expected a lot more screaming, among other things, but the Banshee was finally gone! <br>
<br>
That left the shaman. Who now, Cayde noticed, had a completely different voice, yet still the same dislike for Kesh. His eyes squinted in skepticism, but Baharius had already figured it out, and so did Kate, Scylla, and Kesh. He felt foolish for not realizing it earlier and even worse for falling for the impostor's facade, though he knew thoughts wouldn't help him much here. He readied his crossbow and offered a brief nod to Kate, "<b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">Alright, how's about we even the score?"</span> </b>With that, he'd move to cover an angle on the 'shaman' and fire a bolt in her direction. As he'd load another, he kept a close eye on it - there was no telling what the impostor could do next.</div>

It seemed like the time in the swamp had finally made most of the party loose their pacifist way, as they all agreed on using force to settle this.<br>
<br>
Kesh was correct that fire normally burned someone, but she should've trusted her senses more. The water she smelled and saw wasn't just a drug-fuelled illusion. As she fired the torches with her makeshift torch-bow, they hit the Shaman only to get a little bit pushed into her body and fizzle out with a sizzle (2x attack + move). They didn't have a whole lot of effect, if any at all. Kesh's attacks also triggered Kalina to fire her crossbow. The bolt hit true, directly piercing the Shaman's head and making its way deeply into it... only to come out on the other side. The best it had done was sent some water droplets flying. Cayde's bolt struck true as well, but with the same results (or rather, a lack thereof). <br>
<br>
The next eager attacker to follow-up was Baharius, as he managed to bite down the Shaman's upper torso with no resistance. None at all. Suspiciously so, perhaps, as Kesh's words might've warned folks that something was up if they'd taken them serious enough. Then again, he was a bit too enraged and savage to care much, which would cost him dearly. He'd probably realise his mistake when he tasted neither blood nor flesh in his mouth. All he tasted was gross swamp water... and then he felt a large amount of pressure built up very readily, too soon to spit out what he was trying to swallow.<br>
<br>
In an instant, his jaw was severely dislocated (Grade E wound) as the 'body' of the Shaman exploded in a sea of mist, exactly the same as what had surrounded the hag. It dampened sounds and made it very difficult to see, especially as the quickly spreading water also made most of the torches and fires go out while at it. Sadly enough, that wasn't where it ended for the poor dinosaur. <br>
<br>
Scylla decided to attack as well, setting up an attack that would target the Shaman's body from above. Even the incoming mist was not stopping that attack from happening, although targetting an enemy currently halfway down the snout of an ally was a risky move already, the sudden retreat left nobody but Baharius there to receive the five tornadoes of wind and fire rushing down upon him. (<i>OOC; magic affinity needs to be 1 grade above the amplifiers like targets and range, so she needs to cast it at D grade as a D grade ability</i>). Baharius would feel his blisters and burns form on his head as the hot winds relentlessly tore at and into his subbed skin, although thankfully, three of them landed just in front of him where the shaman's legs had been dangling just before, leaving him with only (F grade wound) blisters and burns on his head. <br>
<br>
It was very difficult to communicate with the sound dampening mists, let alone aim at whatever might be left of their enemy... which was nothing and nobody, it turned out. With none of them having the right skills counter the sudden explosion of mist (likely a last defence mechanism to allow for a hasty retreat), their adversary had gotten away. Oddly enough, there were no signs in the marshes of footsteps or anything, for those that would instantly want to try to give chase. <br>
<br>
As the mist settled down a few minutes later, they'd be left to wonder who or what had just occurred. Kalina was the first one trying to make sense of it, with what she'd heard from Clarice.<br>

</b> (Nissa) |</b><br>​</div>In a quick lunge, the crocodilian saurian's teeth would bite down upon the shaman's feeble torso. For a moment, Baharius felt his teeth sink into what he thought was very watery blood, offering oddly little resistance. This was quite odd. Very odd in fact. Flesh was supposed to be tougher than this; while here it seemed like he was popping a water balloon. That's when he realized that he didn't taste any blood from his mouth at all, for in fact all he tasted was the vile mixture of brackish swamp water. So he was half-correct. It appeared that he and the others had been duped, for the shaman didn't seem to be there at all or had made its getaway and left a watery construct in her wake. Was this yet another apparition?<br>
<br>
Baharius growled angrily at this revelation, glancing left and right instinctually for where she might've gone, as he was readying to spit the foul water out from his mouth. Then another odd sensation hit his mouth. He'd feel an odd pressure began to rapidly build up in his toothy maw. His mouth was tingling in this weird sensation, feeling like he was holding a geyser that was preparing to burst! It was in those final seconds where the saurian general suddenly realized his mistake; but by that time it was already too late.<br>
<br>
As a shiver crawled up Baharius' spine, the pressure that had been building up would burst into a violent explosive release. In that terrifying moment, he'd feel his lower snout stretch unnaturally and instantly afterwards snap with an audible pop. Even as his built-up adrenaline only briefly kept him from feeling that burning pain come to fruition, it wouldn't spare him from what he felt immediately afterwards. The beast howled in sheering agony - unable to properly speak - throwing his upper body into the air as the watery mist ejected upwards into the dark forest canopy and the moon beyond.<br>
<br>
It was already a fitting punishment for his brazen deed, leaving his calm, level-headed demeanor as a respected general to embrace his inner-beast even for just a moment. The gore-riddled brutality he imagined was now placed upon him by his quarry.<br>
<br>
But fate - the cruel mistress that she was - wasn't done just yet. For as Baharius attempted to regain his composure, he'd feel an intense heat rapidly approaching from directly above. From his baptism of water, what awaited the saurian general now felt like the gods smiting down him with a cast of hellfire from above. He'd barely have a moment to breathe, before a series of flaming vortexes crashed down upon his head. Another agonizing scream ruptured from his essence, echoing across the marsh for miles around, as he desperately padded out the blistering winds engulfing him.<br>
<br>
When the immediate dangers finally subsided, the party would find the once proud and noble Baharius forced to his knees. Only the coarse raspy breathing of the wounded saurian could be heard coming from him; the aggression in his voice now flickered away. The poor beast slowly turned his head towards the party, revealing to them the humiliating injuries he now bore. His face was a complete and utter mess, scorched and bloodied by the events that transpired just seconds ago. Deep burns and puffy blisters covered his entire head, still spewing a trail of smoke from the embers, with his crowned crest - once sporting a vibrant gold-and-blue color - now tarnished in black soot. His lower jaw now hung open at an unnaturally freakish angle, missing a good chunk of his teeth. Those perceptive enough would see see at least one, if not more, of these broken bloodied teeth scattered on the muddy ground.<br>
<br>
The shaman, hag, imposter, whomever it was, was long gone; having left the premises with the last laugh. With what little left of his pride and dignity was now left on display, Baharius awaited for the inevitable onslaught of ridicule and spite to kick him further into the mud...</div>

Nissa watched the whole spectacle, with the party attacking the imposter and the banshee finally going away. Though she felt like this whole swamp might as well have been an illusion to all they knew. Still, many questions needed answers, and she knew she wouldn't find those answers here. Too many variables seemed off, though she figured the rumors of the hag would at least be true. <br>

That should lead us to the tree," </span>Nissa pointed out as she walked over to where the imposter hag had stood before all the mist appeared and started to look around the area. <span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Seemingly, a crossroads seem to have been crossed; the lot of you were so hesitant to fight, now you seem ready to fight if your life is on the line," </span>she smirked for a moment before returning to her normal expression.<br>

<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"However, I still think pacifists are stupid, also the fact that you all take too long to debate things. Too hesitant simply put do what you think is the right answer and live with it," </span>Nissa spoke as she thought the whole party has a little too much trust in the kindness of human nature. She still though their kindness would kill them sooner or later but for now she just wanted to be done with this swamp. <br>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1663967982005-png.1024961/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/962/962091-cb1c386a8cbfae7ed1289952dbff9697.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1663967982005.png" title="1663967982005.png" width="100" height="114" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Kesh figured that her contraption would do the trick! And that the support of everyone would also help, she saw two of her own torches stab into the shaman, Kalina fired her crossbow, Cayde did as well, hell the large Baharius even bit down on the shaman to seal her fate! But... That did not happen. Instead the shaman had blown up into mist in Baharius' mouth, causing his jaw to explode open and dislocating his jaw. He could hear the Saurian's pain in his howls, his jaws were a sad sigh to see, very brutal to look upon.<br>
<br>
Kesh flinched at the sight, her face contorted in a look of pain as she could feel the pain herself. She touched her own jaw in fear. With all this mist around them now, Kesh looked around to see what she could do, but then fire came from above, twisters of flame scorched Baharius. Kesh covered her own face of the hot flames then looked to see what the damage was. Baharius looked worst for wear, he had a dislocated jaw and now his head and face were scorched. His screams of agony sent a chill up Kesh's spine. The reveal of his face made Kesh almost turn away but she remembered she had magic! She could heal the giant lizard.<br>
<br>
Kesh stepped forward " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">B-Balthazar! I can Heal-mend your wounds! </span></b>" Kesh showed him her ring on her finger, she had a light smile on her face but she looked fearful. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Let me climb-scale on you! Get it because you have scales- never mind.</span></b> " Kesh quickly hopped up onto the Baharius' back and got into his shoulder, making sure to not touch his wounds. Kesh hovered her hand over his wound and took a deep breath as the ring activated. She wanted to at least heal the worst of his wounds first which was his jaw. A strange aura flowed over Baharius' head around his jaw, " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Heal Ache-Pain! </span></i></b>" Kesh announced. [<b>Magic Heal Cut-Ache! Yes! E</b>]<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul"><b><i>Magic Heal Cut-Ache! Yes! </i>- Magic Affinity E, Healing F:</b> Kesh is able to use her magic to help heal minor cuts, aches and bruises. Has to be in touching range. (1 Post Cooldown)</li>
</ul>Kesh was a little tired from it but she saw that his burns didn't get healed and took another deep breath as she then moved her hand over his burns letting burst of magic come out. Strings of magic coming to cover his head as Kesh had closed her eyes. " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Heal the fire-burns!</span></i></b> " Kesh called [<b>Heal-Ache F</b>]. As soon as Kesh was able to heal his wounds, the Ratkin slid off of Baharius and into the ground looking a bit exhausted, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Kesh needs more Ratkin drugs. </span></b>" She sighed looking at Baharius giving a tired thumbs up. She then looked around, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Where is the woman-lady shaman! </span></b>" Kesh looked around them, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">She could be you! She could even be me!</span></b> " Kesh pointed at Nissa then back at herself.</div>

 </b><br>​</div>Cayde watched dumbfoundedly as his bolt seemingly phased through the impostor, to no effect that he could see. His mind immediately went to the first option he could think of: ghost. What kind of ghost? He hadn't a clue, which was only exacerbated after he witnessed Baharius take a big bite out of it. You couldn't bite spirits. Everyone, their dog, and even Cayde knew that, but that still didn't stop him from wondering what this <i>thing</i> was. Curiosity piqued, he lowered his crossbow and zeroed his vision onto the pair of legs dangling from the saurial's maw. If the body wasn't completely destroyed, perhaps he'd be able to-<br>
<br>
An explosion of water and mist appeared before his eyes, obscuring Cayde's vision and giving that dreadful 'clogged-ear' feeling as it had with the Banshee. The screams sounded shortly after, but he knew they couldn't have come from the Banshee - she was already gone! Besides, the howls were much too deep and much too familiar. Finally, the realization hit him like a brick, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Baharius!" </span></b>He called, his eyes searching the mist, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Baharius! Are you o-" </span></b>When he finally saw the sorry state of his ally, it was reasonably safe for him to say Baharius wasn't okay. Cayde could only stare, wide-eyed and mouth agape as he gazed over his horrific wounds, feeling nothing but pity for the poor lizardman. No one deserved to be injured in such a cruel way, especially not Baharius. Cayde needed to do something - <i>someone </i>had to do something.<br>
<br>
Fortunately, that someone was Kesh. Cayde watched as she ran up to the saurial and performed her magic, attempting to heal his wounds. A smile edged his lips, <b><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"If only Ceylan were here to see this!"</span>  </i></b>The dog-priest would surely be as glad to see Kesh's initiative in action, he thought, though no one would be able to replicate how proud he felt of her right now. Still, after she slid away, Cayde rushed up to Baharius, making use of <b>[Medicine D] </b>to hopefully spot anything Kesh's magic might've missed. He grimaced at the broken teeth littering the floor, but that'd be the least of the lizardman's issues. Teeth could grow back - Cayde couldn't say the same for Baharius' pride.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, there was more talk on the impostor, Kate questioning the point of even staying and completing this quest while Kesh still wanted the impostor. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I'm sure they're long gone, Kesh. Probably not gonna want to mess with us again,"</span></b>   Then, He sighed and turned to give his input to Kate, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Well, I'm staying,"</span> </b>He said plainly, before returning to inspect Baharius, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Look, I've got too much history with Vegard to just up and leave. I need to see how this all ends.</span>" </b>Because of closure, of course, for the closure of ending a saga with Vegard and the closure of leaving these cursed swamps with the knowledge that he did <i>something </i>good. Even if that Ent left him broken in the end, he'd at least be able to crawl home knowing he'd made a change, never mind how small.<br>
<br>
As for Nissa's comment on the group's decisions, Cayde would give her a mocking grunt, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"That's what we've been doing, </span><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">Lyse,"</span> </i></b>He replied acidly, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Y'know, after being accused as a vampire and what you've done to Abha, some of us think <i>slaying</i> you might be the right answer."</span> </b>He shrugged, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Who knows? Maybe we'll have the courage to live with it, too?"</span> </b>Before he'd say more, Cayde caught himself with an exasperated sigh. This swamp was stressful enough - dealing with this woman was starting to give him a migraine. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I'm sorry,"</span> </b><i>He wasn't</i>, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"You're right. We'll follow the path to the Ent and finally get this over with. Then we'll never see each other again.</span>" </b>He turned away with an indignant <i>hmph</i>, muttering, <b><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"And it better stay that damn way..."  </span></i></b></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/43058411-ddda-45c0-8fd9-800d0e55e74c-3-jpeg.1025075/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/962/962205-47c33a252d07959ca6a3eafbd4e093d2.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--left" style="" alt="43058411-DDDA-45C0-8FD9-800D0E55E74C-3.jpeg" title="43058411-DDDA-45C0-8FD9-800D0E55E74C-3.jpeg" width="100" height="121" loading="lazy"></a><br>
Blinded by her rage, Scylla channeled the spell fiercer, mustering every bit of magical energy within her to incinerate this hostile and strange shaman. However, a sudden explosion of mist engulfed the atmosphere at the location she was aiming. Not being able to see, she quickly stopped, and waited for the ground to clear. Panting heavily, she fixed her singed hair, now a bit blackened from its usual golden appearance due to the immense heat that emanated from her aimed immolation.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "You.. <i>pant.. </i>better be.. <i>pant.. </i>dead!"</span> she said with a light scowl.<br>
<br>
But soon her fierce gaze suddenly changed, a desperate gasp exploding from her mouth as she beheld Baharius's critical condition. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"I.. I swore I aimed right at her!" </span>the disbelief growing upon her features. She suddenly ran up to the injured and scorched lizard man, still smoldering from the intensity of the elemental spell. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Im.. I'm..<i> IM SO SORRY!!</i>"</span> she exclaimed. Placing a hand on the lizard mans shoulders,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "I-i got just the thing though!"</span> She quickly mustered more mana to service, being as exhausted as she was it was quite surprising she could even do so but not without a little assistance. Pulling a blue apple from within her robes, she gobbled it up quickly to allow her to get that last bit of mana necessary for the healing spell. She outlined the note in her head however ever in bolder letters:<i> Study more healing magic.</i><br>
<br>
Kesh then appeared to use her own abilities to aid the poor Baharius, but she assumed responsibility for this one. She didn't know what type of magic Kesh was capable of, but really, it didn't matter, any help was good help at this point. After scarfing down the apple, she put her hands on the lizard man, one on his head the other on his jaw, reciting the incantation she performed on the rabbit earlier. [Action 1. <b><i>Mending Stream] </i></b>The flow of magic leaving her hands could be felt as an icy feeling, yet not uncomfortably so, considering these were burns, it would likely alleviate some of the pain. As for the broken jaw, however, she could only hope. <br>
<br>
After the healing spell was completed Scylla sighed, looking down solemnly at the ground.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "My dearest, most sincere apologies sir Lizard Knight. I.. I'm awfully defensive of my colleagues, especially those whom I seem to bring further and further into the madness of my actions."</span> She didnt know what else to do, she felt terrible about what she did, but one thing did come to mind. Holding up an index fingers as to signal she had a suggestion.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "If your jaw feels better, perhaps you'd like some cake?"</span> She said bashfully, pulling out what remained of that fateful, and miraculously intact dessert she made for Clarice, in all its pinkish angel cake splendor.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Here you go."</span> She said, giving it to the lizard man. Although she wondered if Lizard people ate such things, but it was the least she could do. <br>
<br>
She then slowly walked up to the bunny Abha and sat next to her, her staff nonchalantly resting on her shoulder, and letting out a big yawn.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "I'll go if Clarice goes, I've put her through too much already, and asking her to continue further would be a tad-itty-bitty-witty-teeny-tiny-bit rude of me at this point."</span> She turned to Abha,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "However, I have no regrets in my decision to save you, cute bunny lady." </span>She said smiling brightly with a tilt of the head.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "I wish I had a snack for you, unfortunately, I lost my apples when we lost Poppy, I thought having cake would be more than enough, but seems it wasn't so. But maybe a quick stop to the village might be in our interest!" </span><span style="color: #efefef">She then turned to Clarice,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "So.. since you're so keen about what we should do, where do we go from here? Surely, you wont ditch me if I volunteer us against this, Ent.. will you?" </span>Her eyes getting a bit bubbly eyed, as if hoping her colleague would have something nice to say. </span></div>

Kalina raised an eyebrow at Nissa's remark. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“This creature lied to us before, so it's not guaranteed that the manner to find the Ent won't just be another lie.”</b></span> However, it was the second part that really got to her. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“That hesitance is all that's keeping me from slaying you on the spot, you know.”</b></span> She really didn't understand why her fellow vampire was so brazenly antagonistic all the time and her thirst was making her patience run thin. It was no longer an act, but genuine annoyance, at this point.<br>
<br>
Kesh was able to heal up Baharius, although some pain would remain, he'd be able to move his jaw again and his burns and blisters were healed up enough not to get infected in this place. Cayde's medicine would provide some painkillers to get him almost back to normal, save for perhaps a bit of scar tissue that didn't get fully healed up on the first go. As for what Kesh said, Kalina tried to put 2 and 2 together. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I bet it didn't look or sound like water on purpose, so perhaps we just have to look out for that? Besides, we've got Cayde's scents with us now.”</b></span> She said, assuming (incorrectly so, as it wasn't mentioned) that Kesh would've also taken a bottle form the alchemist. <br>
<br>
Kalina was fairly surprised at seeing Cayde conviction to stay. It sort-off made her curious where this would all go, but there was one issue. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Can we talk in private for as second? ”</b></span> She'd ask him, hoping he trusted her enough to be willing to walk out of hearing distance from the rest wit her (far enough to even be out of Kesh's hearing range, as Kalina is aware she's got sharp healing). If he'd follow her, she'd get straight to it. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Considering you've carried me away after the Banshee, you've probably got your suspicions... they're correct.”</b></span> She'd show him her fangs. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I promise I meant no ill will, I just wish to avoid hostility due to my race. The behaviour of my ill-mannered counterpart shows you why I might not be eager to associate with my own kind.”</b></span> With that out of the way, it was time for the big question. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Sadly enough, recent events have left me in a most unfortunate state and I'm afraid it's not going to get any better, so if your offer still stands, I'd like to make use of it. In turn, I promise I'll do what I can to help with that Ent.”</b></span> It was probably a lot to take in, but she really hoped her gamble of entrusting this to Cayde was going to pay off.<br>

Meanwhile, Abha was curiously observing the witch. What little spots of hurt Kesh's magic might've missed on Baharius, Scylla was quick to fix them up. She then proceeded to hand out cake. Was this girl's answer to everything to just shove cake at it? Somehow Abha wouldn't mind that. She could definitely go for some cake right now. However, Abha got told there was no more cake. The treachery. After telling her to eat, that blasted witch really just went to feed the dinosaur cake and then returned telling her she was out of food.  <br>
<br>
She sighed, shrugging if off. She was a mighty paladin of Virtus, not a cake-eating pet rabbit. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“I'm glad?”</b></span> She wasn't quite sure to Scylla's admission of being glad she saved her, as whilst it was nice, the other option would be telling her she should've been dead. However, at the mention of the village Abha frowned. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“That would be risky. Whatever creature we just defeated, it had clearly been acting like the village's shaman for a long time, considering what they've set-up here. There's a fair chance it will use the villagers against us if we return there and I'm not sure who they will believe.”</b></span><br>
<br>
That said, Abha fully realized that whether or not she'd get additional aid against the Ent would depend on this Clarice, so she attempted to put up some bunny-eyes (and would fail at it, looking more silly than anything). She was better using rational words anyhow. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“I know it's too much to ask of you, but I would be willing to offer whatever I could in return for your aid.”</b></span><br>
<br>
<i><span style="color: red">OOC:</span></i> <br>
I'm planning to do another transition after this scene, so for this post, please include how your characters would prepare for their journey back into the marshes to find the Ent. Things like who'd lead the group, if they'd make additional preparations (and which), if they'd be willing to join along to begin with, etc. <br>
<br>
A few things to note;<br>
There are Corpse Beetles gathering around the corpses.<br>
There isn't a single sign of the 'hag' still being around.<br>
Kalina would still have some of Clarice's supplies (and would share if asked, as she can't eat them).<br>
Kesh's makeshift torch-bow looks like it'd be good for 2 more shots.<br>
Baharius is healed up and without pain, thanks to all the actions from others.<br>
The magic threads can still navigate them through the swamp.<br>
After the previous expeditions, they'd know roughly in which area the Ent would have to be.<br>
There are some occult looking symbols left in the area/church, but nothing of worth. <br>
If you want to know anything else, feel free to ask on Discord.</div>

As Baharius attempted to gather what was left of his scorched nerves, Kesh would be the first on scene to relieve him. Feeling her carefully pattering up his long tail and muscular back, the saurian ceased his movements to let the ratkin heal as much as she could. Despite seeing her craftiness first hand, he wasn't expecting her to come around as a healing type. His expectations were respectfully low; figuring that it would be enough to relieve himself of the sheering pain he's in, but not completely cure it. The green aura would emerge from Kesh's ring and wrap around his head in a warm soothing embrace. The general welcomed it, closing his eyes in relief.<br>
<br>
He'd begin feel the muscles in his lower jaw begin to relax and numb. The torn internal pterygoid muscles were now repairing themselves at an accelerated pace as they were reattaching back to his lower mandible, while teeth began to regrow back in the empty gums. Both Cayde and Scylla would also hop in to assist, utilizing their healing magics and medicines to soothe the painful blisters and heal the baleful burns that rattled the rest of his body. The combination of all these healing magics surging through him briefly gave Baharius a sense of heightened euphoria on a scale he never before felt. The pain he suffered a minutes ago had virtually melted away. Then, with yet another audible <i>pop</i>, he'd finally feel his lower jaw lock back into once more.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"><b>"Hnghh,"</b></span> the saurian growled as he rose slowly to rub his jaw, not expecting that sudden electrifying sensation. Aside from a faint odd sensation, surely caused from the sudden realignment,  he'd confirm that his jaw is back in place. Thank the gods. His large claws lightly scratched his head, feeling around for any remaining burns and blisters. While only a few faint scabs remained in isolated patches,  it also healed up rather nicely. Baharius breathed a sigh of pure relief, giving a good shake of his head, before looking back at the three individuals gratefully with a respectful nod.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"><b>"I... Thank you, friends,"</b></span> the spined saurian said to the three, his nobler side now resuming control for the moment, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"I am in your debts."</span></b>. Kesh would give a thumbs up at him, causing Baharius to respond in kind mixed with a warm smirk. When Scylla began to apologize for her actions, the saurian extended his palm and shook his head, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Do not worry,"</span></b> he responded kindly, excusing her in a softer manner, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"It was a tense situation for everyone. I knew you wouldn't do it on purpose. Just be sure to exercise more caution next time."</span></b> When he was presented with half a full cake by the witch herself, Baharius couldn't help but be greatly surprised by her gesture. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"O-Oh, uh... thank you?" </span></b>he replied almost unsurely, feeling rather guilty about accepting this delicious-looking pink topping cake even as he held it in his hands, <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"><b>"You really shouldn't have. Are you sure that I can~?"</b></span><br>
<br>
He paused for a moment as he looked down at it, smelling the rich, sweet aroma beckoning the saurian beast to come treat himself. It was rather tempting, even for someone who normally didn't eat sweets. Baharius sighed defeatedly as he used one of his larger claws to slice himself a large slice - nearly being 1/4th of what would've been the entire cake. His long snout leaned forward and snatched the pastry with the tip, raising it up and chomping it down towards the back of his throat to chew. It was quite a tasty delicacy. Though as he considered downing the rest of it, he paused to glance back at the other party members. Looking around, he'd set his eyes on the paladin bunny once again, who was talking to Scylla. Seeing the hard-working paladin without a slice, prompted the scaly beast to want to remedy this as soon as possible.<br>
<br>
But first, it would be rude to deny Cayde and Kesh a reward for healing him of his wounds. So he proceeded to divide what was left of the cake into three equal slices and walked over to the duo. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Care for a slice?"</span></b> he asked the two, showing their slices topped horizontally against the vertical slice saved for Abha, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"It's the least I can offer to thank you two for healing me."</span></b> As he lowered to give the ratkin a slice, Baharius noticed one of his broken teeth embedded in the mud. He picked it up and gave it to Kesh, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"<b>I'm sure you can find a use for these. </b>I'll let you keep them, if you can find the rest."</span></b> he motioned with a wink before walking off.<br>
<br>
As he approached Abha, he'd hear her offer to repay for any of the remaining party to help her dispose of the ent if they so wished, or otherwise leave the swamp. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"I'll help."</span></b> Baharius responded, leaning down to present the rabbit with the last slice of cake, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"I'm not leaving until I see you safely out of this cursed marsh. Besides, I still have some steam to let loose after this... humiliating incident."</span></b><br>
<br>
<hr><br>
<br>
During their downtime, Baharius proceeded to stick by the surrounding village they were in and fish for a bit. He'd catch a few bites with his fishing pole, cook them and eat them (sharing a piece or two to any still in the area), before sharpening his blade with his whetstone and taking a much deserved rest for the final leg of their journey. His mission was clear. Help the bunny kill the ent and then escort her out to the nearest friendly town.</div>

<article class="message-body js-selectToQuote">
			
				
			

			<div itemprop="text">
				
					<div class="bbWrapper">Time seems to blur for Clarice as she seizes the glowing crystal.  Clutching the arcane device in her hands, she plunges into the darkness, snapping branches and trampling shrubbery as she tears through muck and mire.  The explosion of sulfurous water that splinters a diseased tree trunk behind her spurs her forward.  Suspecting that something is pursuing her, she runs and runs and runs before hooking back toward the village.  Rather than risk returning the crystal to the ritual site, she circles around it, pushing toward the path leading back to the village.<br>
<br>
Trusting the remainder of the party to see to their own safety and wellbeing, Clarice focuses on her retreat.  While she casts a quick glance over her shoulder, she neither stops nor reverses her course.  Only when she has a straight shot to the village does she pause to assess the party's predicament, and even then, she is less than concerned about Baharius's miserable hide.  The healers were already in motion, and unless Baharius went into shock or developed a mental disorder, Clarice couldn't help him even if she was disposed to.  Instead, she places her hands on her hips and pants.  Exercising in this humid environment isn't fun at all.  Nevertheless, she spares enough breath to challenge Baharius on how he categorized his experience.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041">Sobering, not humiliating.  And instructive.  If not for you, then for me.</span><br>
<br>
She rises to her full height and, with a smirk, continues.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041">I see no reason to remain in the company of entities I do not trust.  I cannot rely on your judgement, and at this point, some of you probably want to kill me.  Party cohesion would likely improve in my absence.  Moreover, I have my prize.</span><br>
<br>
Clarice holds up the glowing crystal and wonders what the High Enchanter would make of it.  To one so skilled, it would prove a wealth of information.  Postcognition is a wonderful tool.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041">It's also worth admitting that, as many of you have already realized, my powers aren't suited to a straight fight.</span><br>
<br>
Which would help explain her fixation on gathering information before committing to a fight.  Much as it pains her to admit, she doesn't stand a chance without surveillance and a scheme.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041">What, then, would you offer that would entice me to stay?</span><br>
<br>
Clarice's eyes brim with cunning as she meets Abha's gaze.  Adrenaline still flows through her, and her voice thrums with confidence.  She already has something in mind.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">While you might wager that Scylla's presence would be sufficient to tie me to you, I can offer you a guarantee of my service in this and other matters in exchange for the condition that you despise.<br>
<br>
Sire me.</span><br>
<br>
Clarice studies Abha's expression, expecting a surge of confusion and surprise.  Her own expression is exceptionally uncommunicative.  One thing is clear: Clarice isn't bluffing.  For some reason, she wants Abha's curse.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">I specialize in control.  Given time, I could turn your curse into a blessing, and in the short term, our bond might prevent you from losing yourself to your fear.  Such an exchange costs you nothing and benefits us both.</span><br>
<br>
There's something more to this.  Even with mind control, she shouldn't boast the ability to control such a curse.<br>
<br>
Unless she knows much more about such afflictions than she is willing to let on...<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">As for the village -</span><br>
<br>
Without further ado, Clarice attempts to stow the crystal beneath her tunic using the strap that once held her silver flask.  She glances at Kesh while doing so.  If the half-naked ratgirl intends to pilfer it, she'll have her work cut out for her.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041">I should be able to smuggle Scylla and Abha back onto our ship for some much needed rest.  As long as we don't cause a scene, I can handle any guards we run into.  I might be able to escort one or two other people, but Baharius is too conspicuous and, much like Abha, needs rest.<br>
<br>
I might also make a solo supply run, at the break of dawn, so give me a list of the things you need and I'll see what I can do.  And don't worry about coin; I'd rather go broke than watch someone die - actually die, not die in a simulation - tomorrow.  We'll reconvene here if people are amenable to that plan.<br>
<br>
But be quick about it.  The alcohol is starting to take effect.</span><br>
<br>
If the party agrees to this plan, Clarice will leave behind most of her supplies for those who intend to remain in the swamp.<br>
<br>
-----<br>
A slightly hungover Clarice will return in the morning with as many of the requested supplies as she could procure.  If folks requested non-standard supplies, like armor and weapons, Clarice will have been unable to procure them.  She makes an earnest effort to source foodstuffs, chemicals, medicines, tools, and raw/finished materials with mixed success.<br>
<br>
When the party sets off to find the Ent, she will be last in the marching order.  She will have stocked up on clay containers full of oil to support Scylla and Kesh in case they continue to field incendiary weapons.<br>
<br>
If she has the capacity, she will drag an misshapen saddle behind her with a note affixed to it that reads (in the sloppy handwriting of someone who is almost blackout drunk):<br>
<br>
<i>Hello, tomorrow-me,<br>
<br>
We won this in a game of cards when we first arrived.  You probably don't remember that on account of the splitting headache you're probably enduring.  It's owner claimed his pappy used it to ride dinosaurs.  That and what happened yesterday gave me an idea.<br>
<br>
With a few modifications, maybe the rat person could ride the alligator/crocodile person into battle on a little mounted turret platform.  On the attached napkin, I've included calcs for proof-of-concept.  The added benefit is that the gunner can pocket heal the tank.<br>
<br>
Even if this sounds incredibly stupid in the morning, it should be funny, and after yesterday, we probably need all the good will we can get to stop people from shooting us in the back.  The males and the rat person are an inch from going postal, as you well know, but it has been about a day so you should be able to handle them if they go psycho.<br>
<br>
We have one more day before we start losing float in our schedule.  That doesn't allow any time for funerals.  Hopefully, you don't see anything like that in the tea leaves tomorrow.<br>
<br>
Just knocked the ink pot onto the floor.  Writing this with floor ink.  Going to sign off.<br>
<br>
With love,<br>
Past Clarice</i></div>

 </b>​</div><br>
Much to Cayde's relief, Baharius had made a quick, painless recovery, all thanks to Kesh, Scylla, and some help from his medicine. The careful mixture of <i>Bullshead</i> oil and powdered <i>Blue Dream</i> had worked wonders, and thankfully so, he feared Baharius would be a bit <i>too</i> glad if he'd added too much shroom dust. Nevertheless, Cayde gave a broad smile as the saurial showed his appreciation, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Always a pleasure, Baharius,"</span> </b>The smile widened even further when he was presented with a slice of Scylla's cake. He was wondering when the confection would make its fabled reappearance. And just in time, too, all this worrying had him completely famished. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"And you know what?" </span></b>He said, reaching for his share, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I think I will have a slice!"</span></b><br>
<br>
However, before Cayde could indulge in sweet, tooth-decaying goodness, he'd hear Kate ask to speak with him alone. For a moment, his eyes flashed with a brief realization. Still, he nodded affirmatively to her request, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Uh, yeah, sure thing, Kate,</span>" </b>He gave the others an apologetic wave of his hand as he departed, and almost immediately, the familiar sensation of anxiety started to prick at his skin. This rendezvous would be the perfect opportunity to discuss what happened with the Banshee, but he had no idea how to approach this. Usually, such touchy conversations could be eased into with tact and rational considerations, but nothing was rational about what he saw. <br>
<br>
The cold, seemingly <i>long-dead</i> corpse of his ally had miraculously revived and was walking around as if nothing ever happened - how could anyone begin to discuss something as otherwordly as that? Finally, Cayde got a faint idea, <b><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Just rip it off like a bandage, Cayde,"</span> </i></b>He assured himself, <b><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"She probably doesn't even know that you know. All you've gotta do is start with it, and you'll be fine!" </span></i></b><br>
<br>
So, when Kate ripped off the band-aid first and explained she, in fact, did know, it felt like every organ in his body had imploded on itself. The reveal that she was also a vampire had that effect, too, tenfold. His first response was to chuckle, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Wait, what? No, you-" </b></span>His gaze fell to her inhuman canines, and he turned on his heels on a whim, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"<i>Oh my god, she's the vampire." </i></b></span><i>A</i> v<i>ampire</i>, more like, she'd also claimed that Lyse was another one of her kind, though that barely got him through his fugue. He chuckled again, now at his obliviousness. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"<i>Undead," </i></b></span>He thought, shaking his head in disbelief, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"<i>Never alive to begin with, and now we're here, and she's..." </i></span></b>The 'realization-brick' hit him again, and all rueful humor left his system instantly. The vampire, who had just led him away from his allies, was now asking for a favor. He felt his blood run cold.<br>
<br>
Eyes closed, Cayde about-faced, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Okay. So, I'm guessing you want to suck my blood, right?" </b></span>He sucked air in through his teeth and pointed his gaze to the sky, recalling their little game earlier; whether it was <i>bite</i> or <i>kill</i> that created vampires, his already skewed opinion of monsters, whether the bond between him and Kate was all a ruse, among a myriad of things. Finally, he came to a decision and a perfect plan to boot. That is, if she wasn't a full-blown monster. That would've sucked, to say the least. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Alright, If it means you'll stay, I'll let you." </b></span>He said shakily, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"But so just you know, you're one of the closest people I'd call a friend in this entire group, honest. I'm not gonna guess how long you've had this <i>condition, </i>but I'm glad you kept it under control for the team. That takes a strength I don't even think some humans have." </b></span><br>
<br>
With that said, he'd give one long sigh, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Okay. So, now that I've got you properly guilt-tripped..." </b></span>He slowly extended his arm, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Promise not to kill me, yeah?" </b></span></div>

Was that a tear in Abha's eyes when a slice of the promised cake reached her hand? Definitely not! She was a proud and noble paladin of Virtus. She wouldn't shed a tear for a random act of kindness like being granted a slice of cake in a very stressful situation after having grown tired from continuous trouble and drama... definitely not... maybe just one, but that was definitely just because something had gotten in her eye! <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“I, eh, thank you.”</b></span> She said, making quick work of the slice of cake, before realising, to her surprise, the dinosaur was willing to help her no questions asked. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“That is very kind and noble of you, sir...?”</b></span> She realised she'd never really caught or remembered his name. She'd been too busy fighting or nearly dying lately.<br>
<br>
The next one was a bit more trouble to deal with, as Abha pondered on how to respond to Clarice's odd request. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“Sire you..?”</b></span> She was so unfamiliar with the term that she first thought Clarice asked to be impregnated, which would be a bit problematic for obvious biological reasons. That's when she realised the girl asked to be infected. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“Oh, right.”</b></span> Her face turned a bit red at the mistaken and inappropriate thought. Even so, she quickly got serious. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“Even if I wanted to grant you that request, I'm afraid that it won't be possible, it's a curse that's transmitted only to Rabbitfolk and Haregons. I'm also not sure if you understand what the complications would be if it would've been possible. It's something that would've stuck with you from the rest of your life and that could have you kill your own friends and family in a worst case scenario, especially as I wouldn't be able to let you go through the same rituals and training I've gone through.”</b></span><br>
<br>
That said, Abha could come up with some potential options. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“I would be willing to give you my blood for research... and if it helps, I'd eh...”</b></span> The next part was tough to say, as she felt like it came at a considerable risk, but she decided to show some trust. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“I'd be willing to let you control me, if I'm at risk of turning. My mind is at its weakest just before I turn, so if that control of yours works on others, I'd let you use it.”</b></span> She hoped those two promises were enough of a show of trust and good faith to get the girl on board, as Abha really wished to have more allies in what she was going to be up against.<br>
<br>
Abha, oddly enough, did take Clarice up on the offer to rest aboard the ship. However, it wasn't for reasons Clarice might expect. Abha wasn't as much worried about getting rest as she was worried that the fake shaman would provoke the villagers to harm her freshly obtained allies. The latter proved out to be too paranoid, as wherever the creature had fled, the villagers clearly weren't yet aware of the vanishing of their shaman. If anything, they were surprised and glad that Clarice was still alive and had even managed to find and take care of Poppy for her (although they would look at her with eyes clearly indicating they were hoping to be rewarded for it). <br>
<br>
The villagers weren't exactly well-stocked, but with some negotiating (and perhaps a subtle change of minds), Clarice would be able to procure everything on her list (including some crossbow bolts requested by Kalina). The oil was the most difficult part, but she ended up managing to get five clay containers full of it. She had also managed to procure an old saddle, although she had to struggle to drag it along along with all her other supplies, even with Abha carrying some stuff for her.<br>

Meanwhile, Kalina was dealing with Cayde. She was rather surprised by the effect her words had on him. Even though this was a much more reasonable reaction to someone confessing they were a monster, it was  still a bit painful, especially after how open-minded Cayde had seemed to be. It's why his words were comforting and why she didn't seek to question them. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Likewise, it's why I decided to entrust this secret with you, rather than the others.”</b></span> She said with a soft smile. She even chuckled a bit at the guilt-trip joke. However, when he offered an arm, she took a step back. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Ah, no, well, yes, but...”</b></span> She took out a vial she'd concealed away. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“If you could just fill this with whatever you can miss without too much trouble, I'd greatly appreciate it.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She was never one to like drinking straight from the source <s>unless some perverts were seducing her into doing it</s> and somehow, the thought of drinking straight from Cayde was even weirder to her. She couldn't quite place her finger on it, but the thought alone made her more uncomfortable than the thought of drinking from someone else, like Scylla or Clarice. How peculiar. Either way, she would eagerly gulp down the blood once she got it. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Right, I needed that, thanks. I'd like it if you could keep this between us though, I wouldn't wish to cause any more drama in this group than there has already been.”</b></span> The latter was a half-truth, as she just didn't wish to deal with the trouble either, but that part didn't have to be mentioned.<br>
<br>
 <br>
When Clarice returned with supplies the next day, Kalina was the first to welcome her back. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Welcome back.”</b></span> After noticing that Clarice really had gone out of her way to get whatever she could, Kalina smiled. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Also, thank you. I think we've got off on the wrong foot. I'm sorry if I've been overly hostile towards you.”</b></span> Although the thought of 'tasting' her might've occurred to Kalina (Cayde had been awfully plain tasting), she was genuine in trying to get along here. The only one she still shot glares at was Nissa.<br>
<br>
Baharius, having been in these marshes for long enough, was pretty darn successful at knowing where and how to fish by now, so he was able to treat anyone that wanted it to some roasted fish. It was also a good call to stick by the village, rather than enter it, as he encountered exactly one villager whom was straying a bit off from the village, who immediately ran for his life, yelling about a monster in the swamp. Luckily enough, they didn't sent out the militia to hunt him down.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="color: #2E8B57"><span style="font-size: 22px"><b>The Overgrown Marshes – Death's Roots</b></span></span><br>
<div class="bbcode-height-restrict" style="height: 350px;"><div class="bbImageWrapper  js-lbImage" title="QlkHYP5.jpg" data-src="/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FQlkHYP5.jpg&amp;hash=6d599a8cddaff3f8aaa09ea3bfa01ae0" data-lb-sidebar-href="" data-lb-caption-extra-html="" data-single-image="1">

As they set on their journey, with Clarice making up the rear and the rest wandering about in no particular order or strategy, they eventually stumbled into a new part of the Marshes. Considering this was their longest trip through the marshes thus far, it was getting clear just how weird they were. After, all following the threads was very counter-intuitive. You'd take a left, another left, another left, another left and another left, yet the net result was that you'd have gone in a straight line. The opposite was also true. Those trying to travel in a straight line by their basic senses would end up going in circles and looped back to where they came from. It was good their mages were still with them, as they were crucial to smooth navigation.<br>
<br>
However, it was Kesh's nose that would pick up on their indication of arrival the first. The sweet stench of death and decay hang in the air in this area, thickly so. If anyone were to dare looking for the sources, they'd find multiple rotting corpses buried underneath the roots. Most of those were from animals, local wildlife, but a few of them were definitely humanoid. As they went closer into the area, the scent of it grew more and more thick. There was a bit of a hill to heir north, from which the scent of decay coming towards them was by far the thickest and strongest. If they wished to come up with some sort of plan or strategically sneak around and place themselves somewhere else, now would be the moment to try to do so. Furthermore, the ground here was a fair bit more solid than in other parts of the marshes, which would allow them easier movement and more stable footing.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: red">OOC:</span> Numbers and letters should make it easier to put your character somewhere on the map, outside of the coloured circle, movement is free for this turn. Icons are only there to indicate which direction the party came from (but those that miss this round will be assumed to have stayed there). Orange/red area is where the scent of death is the strongest.<br>

<br>
<br>
Scylla gazed up at the Saurial, expectedly and impatiently waiting for him to simply devour the entire thing. The witch moved some of her golden locks from her eyes, hands entwined in anticipation. But then, a most touching act developed before her eye’s, something she didnt expect, but equally if not more heartwarming.<br>
<br>
As the lizard man took the cake, he observed it, then let out a sigh, prompting a bit of a frown on Scyllas features.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Uhh.. is there something wrong? Maybe its been in my pockets for too long.”</span> She assumingly said, placing a hand on her forehead as she looked at the ground. <i>Was this yet another defeat? </i>She thought to herself.<br>
<br>
But then, much to the witches surprise the saurial Baharius moved towards the Rabbit Paladin, offering her a piece. Then to the others. She stood there, wide eyed for a moment as the lizard man offered her gift to the others. Then suddenly burst into laughter when the others seemed very much interested in a piece.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Why.. How come none of you said anything?!”</span> She managed to say through her laughing, with a hand over her giggling stomach area.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “As always, Sir Baharius, your humility continues to impress me..”</span> She said with a cheerful nod after her laughing subsided,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..truly a knight of great quality! Why didnt i think of that?! A cake party in the marshes; and after going through what we just did, its certainly the BEST thing to do.”</span><br>
<br>
She then sat next to the Bunny Paladin. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Well? How is it?” </span>She asked happily. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“If you ever choose to come with us to Ryken, i promise there’ll be lots of pastries! And, and.. I’m a bit of kitchen witch too, you know!” </span><br>
<br>
Then Clarice mentioned the bit about being sired. The witches’ astonishment prompted a flinch.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Come again?”</span> She exclaimed and wondered why she would want to do with a lifelong curse of that nature. Clarice’s thoughts didnt make sense to her, but then again the witch felt she didnt make alot of sense to her either. In fact, they were kind of polar opposites.<br>
<br>
Then the bunny offered her blood for research, which made Scylla nod with agreement at first, not really processing the bunnies offer, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Yeah thats a better- wait what?”</span> the witch chuckled nervously, glancing at the bunny then to Clarice.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Heh, that wont be necessary now will it Clarice? We’re not taking this cute bunnies blood. Right?” </span><br>
<br>
She then quickly grabbed hold of the bunny, squeezing her and rubbing her cheek against her own. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Who would want to hurt such a cutesy, no way.. no.. way!”</span><br>
<br>
—<br>
<br>
When Cayde and Kate went off just as Cayde was about to take a slice, she leaned into Clarice’s ear,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “I know it. They totally have the ‘hots’ for eachother. You want to bet? If i’m right. You’ll do my homework for a week. If i lose.. i.. ill..” </span>She thought for a moment what Clarice could possibly want from her,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..i’ll.. be more serious for a week? I dont know.”<br>
<br>
— </span><br>
<br>
The following day, Scylla would have asked for her canteen refilled with water, some candy, and a loaf of bread.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Ah! Hope it wasnt too much trouble, colleague!” </span>She patted her head and gave her a wink before setting off into the swamps, leaving her with Kate who appeared a bit softer than usual.<br>
<br>
The journey through the marshes was fairly unorganized, although Scylla would occasionally call out to those who strayed, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“No, no it's this way! Come along.” </span><br>
<br>
After some time during this extended trek through the marshes, a sudden putrid smell would fill the air.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Pee-yuu!! Smells like something died!”</span> She said, pulling a fine silken handkerchief from her robes, holding it up to her nose.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Should we split up? Just in case  there are any weird folk about? Best if we keep our numbers a mystery, should any of us be captured.”</span> Totally what she assumed Clarice would say, but she was a bit concerned to a degree. The smell of death could mean many things in her study of the mystic arts, namely necromancy. A magic she was all too familiar with in her not so bubbly past.</div>

<hr><i><span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)"><b><u>Previous Day~</u></b></span></i><br>
<br>
Noticing a tear in Abha's eye after being presented a slice of cake warmed the saurian's cold-blooded heart. When she tried to recall his name after thanking the spined lizard, the general simply bowed his head respectively. <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"><b>"Baharius."</b></span> he replied in a humbled tone, before Scylla thanked him for his humility. He turned towards her with a modest chuckle. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"It certainly gives your nose a break from the abhorrent smells as well."</span></b> he continued, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Besides, this was a really good cake."</span></b><br>
<br>
<hr><br>
As the next day came, Baharius readied himself for the final leg of the journey ahead of them. Everyone seemed to be in much better spirits today, or at the very least motivated to finish this once and for all and move on with their lives. With a full belly on cooked fish and his blade sharpened and readied the night before, the saurian would find himself near the front of the group. He also brought along a couple of large sticks in his sack, acting as appropriate torches for when they get the opportunity to burn down their quarry. No one agreed specifically on who would lead the expedition, though the saurian general seemed to be one of the better candidates. That being said, Baharius thought Abha would be leading the search - being the individual who was looking for the Ent in the first place - but she didn't seem to eager to lead. Not that he could blame her really. He would reluctantly allow himself the title if presented, still wary of the last time he tried last night, but was willing enough to go through with it.<br>
<br>
Kesh would also be in the front, with her keen sense of smell guiding the group through the thick miasmic swampland. Despite the many bends and turns, they would eventually find the source of the unmistakable scent of death and decay. Littered around the vicinity were various corpses and carcasses rotting away into the thick roots and mud, indeed warning the party of the dangers that lied ahead. Even for someone used to these smells, Baharius could feel himself coughing and snorting at some of the more pungent whiffs. It was the scent of death in its most vile and wretched form; a deep decay.<br>
<br>
As he walked a <b><u>few feet forward*</u></b> towards the base of the hill, he'd certainly tell that the scent was getting stronger in the direction they were heading in. That ent had to be somewhere up that ridge. He knew not exactly how close as of yet, but he was wise to keep his distance. They needed a base plan of action before they can engage the creature. He turned his bulk to face the group, eying everyone determinedly.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Alright."</span></b> he announced as he plants his great-sword down, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"The smell appears to be coming from just beyond this hill. I assume that's roughly where the ent resides. Before we engage, we need to have rough plan of what everyone should be doing to ensure maximum effectiveness and prevent further casualties. I'd hate to leave this marsh a person short."</span></b><br>
<br>
Scylla would be the first to chirp in, asking if they should split up. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Maybe."</span></b> Baharius mentioned with a moment of hesitation. He took a moment to glance towards the land to their right, adjacent to the hill. Further flat empty ground was still present, roughly looking the same as to where they were now. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"If we do, there's empty land not far to the northeast where we can spread out. I do not know how exactly one of these creatures fights, but I assume ranged weaponry would be optimal. I do not believe it's wise to engage it up close, judging from the corpses littered about. If this thing is made up of the same materials as a tree, from what I am told, we should be able to burn it."</span></b><br>
<br>
The general's gaze would finish upon Scylla, knowing well of what she's capable of. That's when his mind sparked into action. He would take out the several large sticks from his bag and place them on the ground. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"We will need to make plenty of torches for us to wield and throw into it."</span></b> He beckons at Scylla, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"You know what to do." </span></b>His glances turns to Kesh as he points to her contraption. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Your bow-contraption should come in handy as well. If anyone here has spare metal or flint blades, grab the biggest sticks to forge up some arrows and light them up."</span></b> Lastly, Baharius turns to Cayde, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"And do you have any concoctions that can coat my blade in fire or acid? If anyone gets ensnared, or we need to get within melee range, I would like to cut through these roots with ease. It might also be helpful to coat any blade we have to ensure we cover all of our bases."</span></b> he finished, referring to Nissa's Rapier and Abha's hammer... if anyone brought the latter object with them.<br>
<br>
Baharius glanced back at everyone else in full and nods, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Any other ideas?"</span><br>

As the group travelled along, Kesh still held her small bag of whatever substance was in it to her chest, she still wore Cayde's jacket since she was nearly naked underneath. The Ratkin wasn't happy that Cayde and Kate went off on their own together a while back, Kesh was on Cayde's back like usual, having her hands on his shoulders and her legs wrapped around his waist, luckily, she was light and scrawny. But the Ratkin was annoyed with Cayde, "<b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"> Hey.</span></b> " She whispered, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">What did you go talk-discuss to that weird lady about?</span></b> " Kesh whispered to the alchemist. Kesh looked around for Kate in a very suspicious way that she thought was nonsuspicious. When she saw Kate, Kesh quickly turned her head, "<b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"> I can't smell her, but she is weird Clyde. What were you two discussing-talking about?</span></b> " It has been two minutes since Kesh had taken any sort of substance and it was bothering her. She had her bag ready to take a whiff when she stopped smelling a fouler stench in this swamp.<br>
<br>
Kesh covered her nose for a moment and shook. "<b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"> OOOOOooh! </span></b>" Kesh rubbed her face, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">That is a nasty smell. And I thought the Mutakin were foul-nasty.</span></b> " Kesh hopped off Cayde's back landing on her feet looking ahead "<b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"> There are bodies in the trees... </span></b>" Kesh stated while covering her nose, she turned to face the group and slowly brought her bag up to her nose while looking at them all and took a deep whiff, blue power entering her nose, leaving the powder on her nose as she looked like she immediately got high. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">That's better.</span></b> " Kesh put her bag away while holding her contraption and bending sideways a bit, she looked at the large talking lizard with her tongue hanging out, "<b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"> You can taste the air-sky.</span></b> " What was she talking about? Anyways, Kesh looked at Baharius, "<b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"> Can I fire-shoot now?</span></b> " She turned around slowly like a rock while pointing her strange stick contraption, she already fired one fiery shot at the nearest tree to light it up in flames. "<b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"> oooooh hot-warm!</span></b> " Kesh cackled a bit.</div>

Cayde was very thankful for the less intrusive option of 'donating.' Having a friend drink blood for his arm sounded more altruistic in his head but admittedly <i>way</i> more awkward in reality. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Actually, yeah, that's a <i>way</i> better alternative,"</span> </b>He said quickly, grabbing the vial in one hand and drawing his knife in another. Then, with a shallow cut on his forearm, he'd fill the vial and hand it back to Kate, though his gaze quickly went elsewhere as she drank from it. Blood never made him queasy, but watching someone drink <i>his </i>blood was an experience Cayde decided he wasn't ready for yet. That was advanced-level adventurer-alchemist stuff, he figured. Nevertheless, he'd give Kate a small smile once she finished, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Don't worry about it. Your secret's perfectly safe with me,"</span> </b>He wrapped his wound with a small piece of cloth and flashed her a thumbs up, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"You'll still be a friend in my eyes - even if you <i>are</i> technically dead."</span> </b><br>
<br>
During the trek back to the group, Cayde would realize this was the s<i>econd</i> time he'd allied with a monster. He wondered: would this bite him in the future? Definitely. Was this another thing he'd have to keep secret? Of course. But in the end, did he care? Cayde went with no. This adventure was already chock-full of regrets, but making a new friend would not be one of them. Besides, he'd already made his fair share of naive, optimistic mistakes today. What harm could another one do?<br>
<div style="text-align: center">- - - - -<br>​</div>The start of the next day was quite uneventful. Cayde had done his usual morning routines, followed by more attempts to hide his wound from Kesh, procuring some leftover lantern oil from Clarice, and capped off by the start of their hunt for the Ent. Along the way, Cayde had foraged for some small, aggregated wild berries, leisurely snacking on them as the group moved to and fro. Their taste could only be described as an eldritch love-child between a raspberry, a blackberry, and an orange, but the flavor was satisfying enough to distract him from the nonsensicalness of the swamp. It wasn't enough to distract him from Kesh, though. Or her attempts to prod at his and Kate's conversation.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Oh," </b></span>Cayde replied uneasily, his eyes shifting over to Kate. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Well, we were just talking about what we're doing once we get out of here!" </b></span>He tried to change to subject as quickly as he could, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"I told her we're taking you back to Ryken and getting you a brand pet! Say, how does a-" </b></span>The putrid stench of decay wafted into his nostrils before he'd be able to finish. It was enough to divert Kesh's attention elsewhere, though Cayde only wished it hadn't sucker-punched his nostrils. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Agh! Oh, god!" </span></b>He groaned, throwing on his mask hurriedly. They'd found the Ent; that was evident. <br>
<br>
Baharius was the first to organize the group, setting the groundwork for their approach. Cayde followed not too far behind (<b>B-24)</b> <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Yeah, I could definitely throw together something flammable, though I doubt it'd be of much use on your sword. Don't want hot oil running down your hands too, y'know?" </b></span>He stated, slinging his pack off his back, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Still, if we throw them at the Ent and hit it with some fire..." </b></span>Cayde imitated an explosion with his hands, with a loud <i>fwoosh </i>to match, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"We'll turn it into firewood. Literally." </b></span>He chuckled and pulled out his stash of alcohol, a container of lantern oil, and a few bottles, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"But, if fire only does us so much, I'll get a good look at the thing. See if I can figure out any other weaknesses." </b></span><br>
<br>
Mixing the two chemicals together, a faint memory of Vegard would slowly float into his head again. It was of those dreadful vines and their seemingly life-absorbing capabilities. He had a feeling those would also make an appearance here, so he figured it wouldn't hurt to let the group know. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Also, let's not forget about what Abha said about those plants. Touching them will drain our energy, so it's best we stay on the lookout for any rouge roots and vines of the sort." </b></span>He poured the concoction into several bottles, corked each, and turned to present them to the party, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Now, who wants a dangerous substance?" </span></b><br>
<br>
Only then would he notice Kesh light up the nearest tree on fire. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Wha- KESH! Subtlety! Save that for the e<i>vil</i> tree!" </b></span>He said although he couldn't argue with her enthusiasm. It'd been a while since he'd set something on fire, too.</div>

Scylla suggested to split up, but otherwise remained where she was.<br>
<br>
Baharius took a few steps forward and suggested to prepare. It was unclear why he suddenly imagined Abha to have a sword, as the rabbit was still weaponless after nobody brought her hammer along after they rescued her from the Boggearts. As for his plans, she had little additional insight to offer him. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“I'll stay back and try to support you all.”</b></span> That was the best she could offer, possibly also the safest, as she didn't wish to risk being at the front whilst weaponless where she'd also be at a higher risk of turning.<br>
<br>
Kesh fired at a nearby tree, successfully having it burn. That said, it didn't burn for long, nor did it burn well. Even though this part of the swamp was less drenched in water as the prevoius parts, it was by no means dry and the threes were old and sturdy, so it was clear they'd need to make use Clarice's five clay containers of oil to really get a fire going. It also looked like Kesh's contraption was good for one more shot, as it was creaking heavily when pulled back. <br>
<br>
Cayde, assumedly with Kesh riding him, made his way to behind Baharius and prepared some of his flasks. <br>

Taking Scylla's advice, Kalina nodded. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Alright. I'll take this along and make my way to the north-east of here.”</b></span> She took one of the clay containers with oil and some torches, before sneaking away (Stealth B) to the north-east. <br>
<br>
However, around the same time she managed to stealth away, the rest of the group would see their suspect tree start to move. Whatever image they had of Ents, this one was particularly large and twisted. Some decaying corpses could be seen hanging from between its roots and branches.<br>

<span style="color: #008B8B"><b>“You know I can hear you, little ones, do you not?”</b></span> It turned out their decision to prepare and discuss these things on arrival, after moving even closer and without trying to whisper or use stealth, might not have been the most tactical. Even Baharius, trying to keep some distance, had underestimate how close the Ent had been and how easily their conversation carried through the forest. They could blame the foul smell of corpses for it, or lack of sleep from the past night. Either way, the Ent had spotted their group, as well as the burning tree that pretty much flared up their location and warned the Ent of their plans.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #008B8B"><b>“Another group of fools trying to burn me down?”</b></span> The creature gave out a sigh that sounded more like branching rustling in the wind. <span style="color: #008B8B"><b>“Why don't we go through the normal deal instead? Present to me a sacrifice and I shall grant you one of my fruits. If you're out here to hunt me, you should know how valuable those are. I'm feeling particularly generous today, so I'll exchange it on a favourable one to one rate.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
(<i><span style="color: red">OOC:</span> I'll leave it up to you how much each character would know about the fruits of an Ent, although skill-wise, Cayde would know the most, if not all of it.</i>) The fruits of an Ent were quite legendary, as they were said to be able to revitalise someone, bringing back their youth and vitality. Considering even most high levels of healing magic were not capable of stopping  the ageing process (S-rank would be almost unheard of), the fruits were extremely valuable, both to the insanely wealthy wishing to eat them and to the scientific minds wishing to study their properties. However, a fruit took considerable amounts of mana to produce, which is why most Ents rarely grew them. One way to circumvent that, was to use mana from other sources. The many rotting corpses would be one such a source, assuming they'd been alive and sipped dry before reaching their current state of decay. Someone with magic in their veins, or a lot of vitality, could probably be used to grown an additional fruit...<br>

<span style="color: #F08080"><b>“Don't you dare assume any of them would take your offer, you foul beast!”</b></span> Abha yelled out. She was clearly holding herself back from storming straight at the Ent. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“Tell me who you gave your roots to in order to curse our city!”</b></span> She yelled. However, the Ent didn't seem to be interested in answering her in the slightest. Instead, he awaited an answer to his offer. He did, however, keep a close eye on their movements. Were they to start reaching for their oil, torches or weapons, they'd be taking a considerable risk. <br>
<br>
(<span style="color: red">OOC:</span> A few context notes: There are (yet again) Corpse Beetles around, although they are mostly skittering about along the very edges of the map/area, staying away from the Ent himself. The bright green parts of the map (to the east) turned out to be pretty soggy ground, as Kalina had to be very careful and slow about going through it without leaving a clear trail through the soggy soil. Although it might be a trick of the mind, in their peripherals, it was like they saw a bit more moving than just the Ent itself, especially near the other trees and shrubs.)</div>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/oip-10-jpg.1026626/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/963/963756-2a0b8391ae7057c7376b54449901ca55.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--left" style="" alt="OIP (10).jpg" title="OIP (10).jpg" width="100" height="145" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
<span style="font-size: 15px">Nissa, in her mind, thought the only useful one was Clarice in this whole party; she didn't trust a single one. Though that wasn't to say she trusted Clarice either, it was more of an interest in a person. Her mind control ability was interesting enough that Nissa would accept more of a risk. With the group now back together, she continued to walk as they searched the swamp further. Glancing over toward kate as she is heard her speak and noticed the glare. To which she simply glared back at the woman. Out of all the people here, she trusted her the least, and that was saying a lot compared to one of the other group members who tried to attack her openly. <br>
<br>
Besides surprise, the whole part of her stabbing the rabbit and Kate seemingly unphased didn't sit well with her. Compared to how Kate had acted when the group first met up there was fear after that not so much. Again it didn't sit well and was probably something she would bring up after the group had dispersed and she could confront the girl in a more private manner. Now that wasn't to say she was looking for a fight. But she was going to speak her mind regardless though her thoughts were interrupted as the witch mentioned something smelling. To which Nissa stopped and sniffed the air, it was the smell of rotting bodies she was sure of that. Though she couldn't tell where it was coming from. <br>
<br>
She then moved north two squares and started to look around the trees. To which she found the bodies in the roots of the trees. <span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Well, I think we found the source of the smell or at least a cause of it. Though I think we are getting close to this monster." </span>She spoke not looking back over at the others as she started to scan her surroundings to see if she could spot anything through the trees. <span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Are you stupid? You want to split up? That is the worst thing to do right now, we have no idea what is out here, and you want to split up?" </span>Nissa chided the witch before she poked one of the bodies. </span><br>
<br>
Now with the ent in front of them offering gits Nissa scoffed at the idea, she knew they were valuable but really would anyone be stupid enough to do it? She wouldn't be surprised if the rabbit turned on them to get the information she sought. Anyone would do anything if they were enticed enough to which Nissa made sure to keep the rabbit within her sight. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Hey treebeard you want to skip the part where you try to entice us with offering and just skip to the part we just cut you down?" </span>Nissa inquired as she grew tired of these games she didn't care for the paladin's quest nor the answers she sought. If the rabbit dropped dead it wouldn't make a difference to her and if this ent killed the rabbit who was she to say it wasn't her time to go. <br>

With the ent finally making its appearance, Cayde gulped, wishing <i>he</i> was the one who had some subtlety. But, sadly, it'd hardly mattered now - the monster had heard everything, and its alluring deal was the only thing stopping it from attacking. A deal that immediately roused the latent alchemist within him. He'd only read about it in dusty, esoteric journals, but the fruit of an ent had supernaturally powerful healing capabilities. It was their <i>other</i> use that left him stunned, however. Ent fruit was supposedly an ingredient for the legendary <i>Panacea. </i>The 'chicken soup of mortality,' as Zane would say, and one of the pieces required for the <i>Magnum Opus.</i><br>
<br>
For a moment, contemplation flashed on Cayde's face. Up to this point, he'd never even considered chasing that fabled stone, but one of the ingredients necessary was <i>right here, </i>offered to him. All he had to do was say yes, give up one of his allies, and it'd be his! It all sounded so straightforward, so quick, and so incredibly foolish. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b><i>"Yeah, nice try, tree," </i></b></span>Cayde thought, removing his mask and attaching it back to his hip. As the stench poured into his nostrils, he immediately regretted doing so, but his decision still hadn't wavered. <i>No one</i> would be sacrificed to this ent, Not Kesh, Baharius, Kate, Scylla, Clarice, Abha, or even Nissa. The <i>Magnum Opus</i> and its stupid Philosopher's Stone could wait another day. He needed to get them all out of here <i>alive</i>. <br>
<br>
So, when Nissa antagonized the Ent, Cayde tried his best to look surprised, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Hey! Calm down! Let's hear him out, alright?" </b></span>He knew there'd be no way they could fight the ent from out here, and if they did, whatever was hiding in his peripherals would surely join the fray. They'd have to get closer, and Cayde was starting to think of how. Using <b>[Deception] </b>and <b>[Persuasion]</b>, he addressed the monster before him, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Look, we all got off on the wrong foot. Excuse us. We never expected you to be so generous with your offer. Thank you for that," </b></span>He said, raising his hands in surrender, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Some of us might've been a bit harsh, myself included, but I assure you, <i>now</i> you've got my attention." </b></span><br>
<br>
Praying his facade would work, Cayde slowly advanced <b>(18, F)</b>, but not before giving a furtive wink to the others, hopefully, his <b>[Deception] </b>covering it.<b> <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I can't say my entire party'll be happy, but I'm sure most of us can come to a swift agreement. We all just need to talk it out." </span></b>He said, utilizing <b>[Bestiary Bookworm] </b>as his eyes scanned over the monster, trying to recall enough information about this monster before he turned to address the group as a whole. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"So, are you any of volunteering? Or do you wanna come up here and <i>talk?" </i></b></span><br>

As the alchemist presented his case, Baharius nodded in approval. Admittedly he was a little bit disappointed that he wouldn't be able to wield a flaming sword, but nonetheless he also wouldn't want oil running down his hands if nobody had the magic capabilities. Best he could do was utilize a flaming potion for everyone to wield and chuck at their tree opponent. They certainly need to figure out any other additional weaknesses in the ent's defenses, if brute force and fire alone won't do the trick. But the general was willing to do whatever it takes, save for having the bunny turning into the creature they all had miraculously been able to keep at bay for the time being.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Fair enough."</span></b> the saurian responded as he stashed the potion in his sack, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"In that case all we need to do now is~"</span></b><br>
<br>
The sudden woosh of a crossbow firing, followed by the<i> fwoosh</i> of flames igniting, caused Baharius to swivel directly at Kesh; having fired upon a tree prematurely. His eyes widened with a guttural hiss, as Cayde would attempt to quiet and subdue the ratkin from doing anymore damage. While the burning was brief, due to the moisture of the surrounding area, he could see the weapon already looking as if it was about to break at any moment. He could only hope that the next, or last, shot would hit home before its immediate destruction. Was this a simple case of butterfingers or her mounting impatience? Either was bad, but he surely hoped it wasn't the latter.<br>
<br>
And then, just as he was about to continue talking about the plan, that's when the Ent <b>spoke</b>.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"><b>"Ughh, so it IS intelligent..."</b></span> a frustrated Baharius grumbled as he readied his giant blade, plunging into the muck with peeved force. He was sick of his plans not turning out the way they were before even having a chance to execute them out in the field. His teeth chattered impatiently as the great tree-being offered them his "forbidden fruit" in exchange for a sacrifice. Abha's reaction certainly made it evident of her utter disdain towards him, as present when she spoke of her backstory. Nissa's reaction, for once, mirrored Baharius' reaction in wanting to cut this thing down. The general was already getting real tired of negotiating with these unruly folk, but seeing as how they were going up against an incredibly mighty, even ancient, foe they had to force themselves to quell their rage for just a moment longer.<br>
<br>
Curiously, Cayde would proceed to initiate the negotiations, causing Baharius to pause and gave a cautious, if not slightly unnerved, look towards him. They literally tried this with the "shaman" yesterday and were presented with his own face getting obliterated; to make such a deal to a giant ancient and deceptively sentient ent seemed like it was going to be ripe for failure. And to <i>offer</i> one of them to come up and present themselves as THE sacrifice? It seemed utterly absurd! He wanted to speak his mind in protest, but considering Cayde seemed to be the more sensible of the group, the saurian general simply held his breath and awaited for what could possibly come out from this. <br>
<br>
For the moment he stood his ground, blade clenched in his hand, as he awaited the next move.</div>

Scylla, looking at the others waited expectedly, perhaps hoping they’d come together and better plan their approach. But it was more of the same this time as well. The witch sighed, looking at the others make their way forward, without much as a word.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Uhhhh.. ok?”</span> she muttered, then flinched with a shrill gasp when Kesh suddenly lit a tree ablaze.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Welp, there goes our element of surprise. Bleh! Who needs it anyway.” </span>She shrugged, then observed the flames as an awestruck child watching fireworks.<br>
<br>
Just as she was about to make her way out, her attention is pulled toward Nissa going on about the plan she just suggested. Pouting and crossing her arms, she stomps a foot on the ground. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“I’m not stupid! Ok?! You silly weirdo! I was hoping we would come together to figure this out, but nooooo.. lets call Scylla stupid! STUPID! hmph! Why, i ought to-” </span>She suddenly huffs. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Well, maybe it was a dumb idea..” </span>she shrugs, before the booming echo of the Ents voice fills the air.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Whoa..” </span>She exclaims, a bit surprised at how learned and apparrently intilligent this tree folk seemed. Then he mentioned the bit about sacrificing one of their allies in exchange for a fruit with the power of eternal rejuvination.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..oh, i bet its tasty fruit!”</span> She clears her throat,<span style="color: #9365b8"> “.. in all seriouslness I’ve dabbled in trying to forever avoid the appearance of wrinkles on my face, i thought this ingredient was impossible to ever find. And.. well, here we are, heh.. how enticing!” </span>She scratched her golden head a bit,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “I’d give up Nissa, but.. if i were to suggest it i’ll never hear her say something nice to me. Forever and ever.”</span> She then shakes her head, and makes her way forward towards Cayde. (A,25)<br>
<br>
Then reffering to the Ent she speaks her bit,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Excuse me! Hi! Looks like we need a few minutes please.” </span><br>
<br>
If the others were to come together she’d whisper.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “If no one volunteers..”</span> She pulls out of the huddle to look at the Ent, and frowns nervously,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..I’ll volunteer. We need to get close. B-b-but.. only if no one else does. Okay?”  </span></div>

<br>
Nissa was as lovely and uncontroversial in her rhetoric as always. Sadly (or perhaps luckily) enough, the Ent seemed to ignor her insults like nothing other than background noise. <br>
<br>
Although Cayde was a little late for getting Kalina and Nissa out 'alive' in the most literal manner, his resolve to deceive the Ent paid off. The Ent watched him move closer without attacking. His Bestiary Bookworm gave him a few pointers, but not too much. This Ent seemed a bit different from the regular Ents, yet even the regular ones weren't common. However, it looked like the creature would suffer if put on fire, although it didn't look like it'd burn well on its own. In other words, once they'd get it burning, it'd do a lot, but it'd take more than just some fire arrows or torches to really get a fire going. It also looked like it was not the fastest, as it moved rather slow, but in turn, it was large enough to have a lot of weight and strength behind it, were it to try hitting them or stomping down on them. Most alarming, however, were vines that Cayde would notice going through the entire Ent, down onto the ground and from there, they seemed to spread out in various directions. It was possible that the main 'body' they saw wasn't all of the Ent. <br>
<br>
Baharius stood his ground as intended.<br>
<br>
Scylla moved towards where Cayde was previously, then called out to the Ent. The large creature didn't seem particularly eager to reply to her. As she suggested she'd volunteer, however, something happened..<br>

Cayde hadn't been the only one deceiving others. From the start, the Ent intended to take down all of them. After all, it was very clear they hadn't actually prepared someone to offer to him and they'd been discussing how to bring him down just moments ago. Although the Alchemist had sounded convincing, the others had not, so it'd proceeded with its original plan. It just needed to buy some time to get its roots in place to try catching them off guard. Although he noticed that some of them had their eyes on the tree-lines, where he'd been spreading his roots, only the man who'd moved forwards had moved a fair distance away from the trees he'd been hiding his roots in. <br>
<br>
In an instant, the vines launched at all members of the group.  <br>
(<i>&gt;14 DC to save getting entangled, roll on Discord + speed.</i>) <br>
<br>
As the vines lashed out at Nissa, they reached her almost instantly as she was close to the treelines. However, she still managed to easily dodge them (17+1 (speed) = 18). <br>
<br>
Kesh, being close to the same tree, was a lot less fortunate (4+1=5), as she was too late to react to the vines suddenly lashing out from being hidden among the tree's roots to dodge them. They quickly wrapped around her arms, chest and legs and would start to tighten almost instantly.<br>
<br>
Baharius, being further off from the trees, had enough time to dodge them with ease (16+1=17).<br>
<br>
Scylla, on the other hand, made it look even easier, as she instinctively an gracefully dodged the vines like a billionaire dodges taxes. (Natural 20). <br>
<br>
The same couldn't be said for Abha, as the poor bunny got completely surprised (2 + ? =&lt; 14). The sudden and full entanglement clearly caused her considerable stress, but not enough for her to turn. At least not yet.  <br>
<br>
The vines also lashed at Cayde. He'd been the most alert by far (early notice + bestiary bookworm) and was also a fair bit away from the tree. Sadly enough, in his attempt to dodge, he tripped and a single vine managed to wrap around his leg. (Partial entanglement, all the right actions made, yet critical fail on the roll.) <br>
<br>
Clarice, meanwhile, suffered the same fate as Kesh and Abha. Caught relatively unaware, the vines quickly managed to wrap themselves around her legs, arms and torso and would soon start to tighten around her. <br>
<br>
That left online Kalina, who'd been able to stealth off earlier after Scylla's suggestion to split up. Luckily enough, she'd managed to go unnoticed. On the other hand, she hadn't noticed the rest of her group getting attacked by vines yet, as she was completely focussed on staying out of sight of the Ent, as she made her way further to the north-east. <br>
<br>
After the initial shock, two things were clear. The Ent wouldn't be able to launch his vines like that again immediately, as the vines that missed were laying on the ground without movement. Whatever he'd used either was 'up' or on 'cooldown' or something, but it was unclear for how long that would last. Secondarily, those entangled would feel their vitality being intruded upon. They weren't losing any of it at the moment, but it was clear that if they didn't get these things off immediately (in the next post), they'd start losing it until they'd pass out. <br>
<br>
The Ent didn't seem to happy with the results, looking at how many of them were still free. <br>
<span style="color: #008B8B"><b>“Say your prayers, little alchemist.”</b></span> The Ent said [Intimidate D] at Cayde, as he very slowly started to make his way towards Cayde. With vines still running from him towards the ground and into the other trees/shrubs, he was very slow, but he'd be there soon if Cayde wouldn't manage to get up again and get himself loose from the vines some. It was also pretty clear what the Ent intended to do; namely to stomp down upon Cayde with his full weight. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: red">OOC:</span> Quick reminder of the combat rules I'll stick with. <br>
<br>
Three actions per post. (Attack, ability usage, move, lengthy speech, etc.)<br>
<br>
A [move] action gives you up too 10 squares per action (moving 2 or less squares is free). <br>
<br>
Using special items (like oil) along with an attack or ability counts as part of the same action (like dipping arrows in oil), but using them separately counts as a stand-alone action (like splashing the Ent with oil from a jar). <br>
<br>
Also a quick note/hint: The entanglement vines can be cut or burned/torn off, but depending on the actions/tools used and the manner in which it is done, it may take up more than one action to complete. Those fully entangled (Abha, Kesh, Clarice) are least likely to get out on their own. If attempting to keep getting someone loose leads to a post having more than 3 actions, the last ones will be ignored, which can mean someone fails to entangle during the round and would have to continue trying in the next round.)</div>

Scylla had closed her eyes, as she began to speak her suggestion, with a lecturing finger mentioning she’d only volunteer if no one else did. Yet when she opened her eyes, most of the people she was speaking to were on the ground, wrapped totally or partially by strange vines.<br>
<br>
Just as a billionaire evades taxes, (???) Scylla dodged the vines coming towards her, for an instant feeling like a politicians bratty daughter, pretending to sign some kind of crooked document. <span style="color: #9365b8">“Oops! Nice try, no way I'm paying THAT much, hah! It would be such a crime!!”</span> She giggled. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"I may just <i>buy</i> this entire forest, just look at all that lumber!"</span> She shook her head, shutting her eyes tightly as this strange feeling dissipated.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Ok, what in Niv-Mizzet's name did I just say?"</span> She mumbled, still a bit disoriented.<br>
<br>
It seemed this Ent was no longer trying to make any negotiations, evidently clear as her eyes rested upon those that weren’t so lucky.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Oh dear..” </span>She muttered. Dashing towards Abha, she examined the vines, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Alright.. its going to have to be fire.” </span>She stated, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Hang on little bunny..”</span> She said softly as she tried to pull the vines loose before channeling the elemental fire into her hands, effectively burning through the wrappings. <i><b>[Action 1] </b></i><br>
<br>
Then headed towards Kesh, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Uhm, might not have been the brightest plan miss mousey..”</span> The witch would tug at the vines, then instead placed her hands on the vines surface. Considering the ratkin was nearly naked, she didnt want to risk burning her. Finally igniting the vines as well. <i><b>[Action 2]</b></i><br>
<br>
The witches face, clearly expressing impatience and worry, was tempted to join the fray, but instead dashed further back towards Clarice, igniting the vines on fire. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“I.. well, dont mention it Collegue.” </span>She said with a comforting look on her face.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“That was.. alot of vines..”</span> She said out loud. She could only attempt to rally the others at this point,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “I love trees! But this one must go! DESTROY IT!” </span>She exclaimed as loud as she could.</div>

The plan fell through, just as the saurian general expected. The ent was already well aware of their true intentions and proceeded to ensnare the party with his massive vines the lunged from the trees adjacent to them. Quickly noting the approaching tendrils, Baharius whipped his body away from them and snarled at the massive tree-figure. But while he and a couple others were able to dodge them, a good number would not. Cayde looked as if he was going to easily dodge out of the way with ease, but tripped at the last moment to allow a vine wrap around his ankle.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"><b>"Cayde!"</b></span> Baharius roared as he readied his blade. Yet looking behind him, he'd also see Kesh, Abha, and Clarice ensnared in the Ent's clutches. Scylla would be the only one she'd see not entangled by this mess. There wasn't much time. Instinctually, the saurian's gaze struck the witch's with gritted determination. He was about to ask her to free the others, but she was already one step ahead of him. Nodding approvingly, the great beast turned towards Cayde's position and hauled himself to the frontlines with all of his might. The time for talk has passed; it was now time for immediate action.<br>
<br>
Dragging his gargantuan blade alongside him, barely a few inches off the ground, Baharius turned the corner and <u><b>sprinted towards the towering ent</b></u><b>*</b> with furious intent. Despite its immense size, dwarfing the spinosaurian by a very significant margin, the saurian general was not deterred. With adrenaline now pumping through his veins, after being denied a fight of something a great as this, his thirst for a real challenge was already at its apex. For the sake of his friends and his honor, he will not see himself lose to this vile monstrosity!<br>
<br>
Getting closer, he took a moment to glance over and nod at the fallen Cayde, before focusing his attention back on the quarry at hand. Nearing striking range, Baharius grasped the oil jar with his spare hand and tossed it into the air. Its trajectory was more vertical in tone, seeming to lack much power or range to really make an effort to reach the ent. However, with surprising accuracy, the saurian reeled his blade back over his shoulder and attempted to hit the oil jar with a <b><u>downward strike</u></b>, attempting to cover his blade in fiery flames and cut through the Ent's rooty appendages on its way down with ease. He would then strike forth with a sweeping <b><u>Broad Dune Swipe</u></b> wanting to cut through his tough wooden hide like butter and to give the alchemist a chance to quickly free himself while he held the ent off.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"><b>"You should've answered the paladin's question, parasite!" </b></span>Baharius roared in a more gravelly and hardened tone as he continued with his ferocious onslaught.<br>

Cayde was glad his lie had managed to work, though not so much when the ent's happened to work, too. Fortunately, he was quick enough to spot the monster's tendrils emerging from the tree closest to him, but that's where his luck had out. Before he could dodge, Cayde felt himself tumble to the ground, a rouge vine wrapping itself around his leg. His heart flushed with fear, and the ent's foreboding words didn't help to ease him either, kickstarting his fight-or-flight response. <i>Flight</i> seemed to be the most rational option, so he unsheathed his knife, attempted to create tension by pulling his tangled leg to him, and began cutting through the long end of the tendril as one would do to rope, using <b>[Steady Hands] </b>to keep himself steady and his shakiness in check. However, that hadn't stopped the concerning thoughts from creeping in, Cayde starting to worry if the others had also been ensnared. <br>
<br>
Thankfully, Baharius was not one of them. Cayde felt a surge of relief wash over him at the sight of the towering lizardman, though that did not stop his attempt to free himself. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Baharius! Thank God!" </b></span>He exclaimed, his eyes still occupied with the vine, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"The trees! We've gotta get away from the trees!" </b></span>His observations had led him to believe the ent had some control of the local plants via those vines. If they stayed here, surrounded by trees, there'd only be more tendrils coming to get them. He needed to move to some more open ground, and assuming he'd freed himself, Cayde was already scrounging through his pack, throwing together and utilizing his <b>[Rogue's Remedy]. </b>A potion made to emulate his apprentice's invisibility, and hopefully, the only way to get him around the ent undetected. <br>
<br>
Watching himself go invisible was always an interesting experience, and so was the tingly feeling as he felt the beverage course through him, hastening his already adrenaline-pumped system. Nevertheless, he waited for after Baharius' swipe to make his move, skirting around him and the ent and sprinting some distance away <b>[L - 12]. </b>Mentally praising Kesh for the recipe, he'd also try to keep an eye out for Kate. While he wasn't sure where she was right now, he thought maybe they could divert attention away from the group. It would give them some much-needed wiggle room and, he hoped, some much-needed torching room too. <br>

Nissa ignored the witches comment as she didn't really care what their opinions were at the matter. There were more important things to do in the matter. Nissa looked up as the vines lashed out towards her jumping back out of the way she quickly moved away from the trees moving to B24.<br>
<br>
She was really ready to cut down this tree now that it seemed like it was going to attack them. At this point she was going to stand back and see how the ent was going to fight. She didn't want to go in blind and she didn't mind staying back and watch the others fight. <br>

The Ratkin probably shouldn't have taken the dust she just inhaled, she wouldn't be able to move out of the vines in time as she would be ensnared in wrapped vines all over her body, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Hey! </span></b>" Kesh came back to, "<b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"> I don't like where these vines are trying to touch me at! </span></b>" She complained trying to get out of the clutches. Kesh ended up dropping her makeshift crossbow as she would need her hands and claws to get out of this. Using her slender body to try and muster herself free, Kesh was able to use her Ratkin abilities to get out of the trap she was in <b>[Acrobatics E]</b>. Able to get her arm free of the crushing vines, Kesh was able to use her claws to start slashing through the vines that had trapped her. Kesh was a bit scared of what was happening with this large tree coming for them. It was going for Cayde and Kesh was worried for the alchemist. Kesh was able to finally get the vines off her as she had vine juices all over her claws. The Ratkin looked behind her and saw that both Clarice and Abha were also ensnared by the vines. <br>
<br>
Kesh bit her lip, trying to figure out what she should do next. Kesh heard Baharius run after Cayde with his large body moving and the swamp water splashing around. Kesh picked up her makeshift crossbow looking a bit scared and unsure of what she should do. Kesh looked at Abha and saw she was close enough to move and free her before the Ent did anything, Kesh looked at Abha and quickly moved towards the rabbit paladin <b>(B, 27.) </b>The Ratkin moved to her side and smiled nervously, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Hi, rabbit!</span></b> " Kesh petted the rabbit quickly to try and calm her own nerves, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Soft-cushiony...</span></b> " Kesh then began clawing her way through the vines of the rabbit to help Abha escape. "<b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"> I help-assist!</span></b> " Kesh said as he was doing his best to free Abha, thinking the rabbit would be the best one to free at the moment. Once Abha was free, Kesh turned to look at the tree, gulping deeply as she held her makeshift crossbow, "<b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"> Master Clyde.... Please be safe-unhurt...</span></b> " Kesh was a nervous wreck, she was scared, way over her head. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Rabbit-bunny what can we do?</span></b> " Kesh asked Abha. <br>
<br>
Actions: 1. Acrobatics E to get untangled, 2. used Claws F to free herself of vines, moved to B,27 (free because it's two steps) 3. helped free Abha with her claws.</div>

Scylla decided not to risk burning her allies by sending fire-bolts trying to get rid of the vines, but instead burned through them using a touched-based fire attack. (First usage would be an E ability, Magic E + Fire Affinity F + Energised E – 0 Cooldown.) Thanks to her magic power, she was able to burn through the vines tying up Abha before they could drain the bunny's vitality. <br>
<br>
She then made it over to Kesh, where she was able to free the ratkin with a less powerful version, as the Kesh had already partially freed herself and only needed to be burned free of the remaining vines. (Magic F + Fire Affinity F + Energised E – 0 Cooldown – 2 usages per post.) <br>
<br>
Having freed the two, Scylla would spent of the rest of her time on reaching Clarice (move action).  <br>
<br>
Baharius made his way in front of the Ent, where he used one of the containers of oil to coat his weapon in oil by slashing through with with a downwards strike that continued its path into the leg Ent, as the Ent got his leg intercepted by the oiled-up sword before it could stomp down onto Cayde. Thanks the the Saurian's strength, the blade managed to penetrate fairly deep into the leg, although the withering mass of vines, branches and occasional rotting corpse didn't seem particularly hurt by it. However, a considerable amount of oil was left behind in the wound, ready for ignition... <span style="color: purple">Currently 4/5 containers of oil are left, 1 with Kalina, 3 with Clarice</span>. His follow-up Broad Dune Swipe managed to do even more more damage, to the leg, yet not enough to cut it off. Worse, however, was that Baharius could see that some of the leg was starting to grow back together short after his slash. The attacks did successfully prevent the Ent  from going after Cayde.<br>
<br>
Cayde, meanwhile, managed to keep his hands steady despite being intimidated. Thanks to Baharius buying him time, he was able to cut through the vine that was wrapped around his legs. Also, as it was only a single vine, it wouldn't take him long (single action). It left him with enough time to quickly consume his Rogue's Remedy and run off. The hill in front of him was climbable, but it took him a bit more effort and made it so he didn't get quite as far as he'd hoped to get, even with the added speed. Luckily enough, the Ent had been too preoccupied and hadn't spotted him thanks to the potion. <br>
<br>
Nissa moved a bit closer, but didn't bother trying to help out any of the still entangled folk (just Clarice by now). She didn't bother to attack the Ent either, for better or worse.<br>
<br>
Kesh, able to contort her body a fair bit, had already loosed the vines and freed one hand. Thanks to Scylla burning off the rest, she was able to get out with a single action and before her vitality would suffer from the vines. She rushed off towards Abha and for some reason, the proud paladin melted like butter upon being pet by the ratkin, as her stress levels decreased considerably. Kesh asked what to do, which was a good question. Abha herself wasn't too sure. <br>

Kalina, meanwhile, noticed that the Ent had gone on the attack. She wasn't sure what was going on on the other side of the trees, but it definitely didn't look good. She was about to <br>
attack when she heard Cayde yell to get away from the trees. Although she didn't know why exactly, she decided to take his advise to heart. Taking 2 movement actions, she managed to sneak around the trees in front of her and move towards a more open area. Considering she was going past the Ent fairly closely, it was pretty darn terrifying even at her level of stealth. Luckily, the creature was preoccupied by Baharius.<br>
<br>
That said, where she arrived, it was very difficult to utilise stealth in the relatively open terrain, so she wasn't sure how long her stealth would hold. It's why she decided to set-up for attacking, now that the Ent's attention wasn't on her, using her third action to put down the jar of oil, and to plant at torch in the ground besides her and ignite it. The plan was simple, as she was hoping to start dipping arrows in oil and to ignite them in the burning torch before firing them at the Ent. That said, the sneaking around and properly setting up had taken her more time than she'd like to admit. <br>

<br>
On the other hand, did see a way to help out. Baharius was currently facing off against the Ent alone and didn't look like he'd stand a chance for long, so Abha quickly chanted a few words, as a light started to form around her hand. She stopped her chanting and shot a bolt of light at Baharius. Upon impact, he'd feel his strength and vitality increase by a fair bit (both to B grade for the next 2 posts). However, after casting, the rabbit starting coughing heavily.  <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“Ugh...

Clarice, being the only one that wasn't able to escape the vines or be freed, would feel her vitality decrease (F to G) as the vines started to drain her. <br>

The Ent itself, was properly enraged when Baharius intercepting him from being able to finish off Cayde. The Saurian's words only further enraged him. <span style="color: #008B8B"><b>“Very well, then let these roots taste your corpse before the alchemist's.”</b></span> The Ent knew the alchemist was dangerous to let roam, but he'd lost him out of his sight for some reason. As frustrating as it was, he chose to focus on the target in front of him instead. <br>
<br>
[Action 1] First, he brought down his leg. Although it was wounded by Baharius' earlier attacks, he was still able to push down with it, as he hoped to squash Baharius like he first intended to do with Cayde. (B-grade physical blunt attack from above.) However, he noticed the others were getting rid of the vines that had enwrapped them with far too much ease. <br>
<br>
[Action 2] Luckily enough, they were all standing relatively closely together. If it had a mouth, it would display a wicked grin as he threw what looked to be some sort of bulb towards the group, aimed to land upon the Rabbit in particular. It would come down at them in an arch and it was clear that whatever that was, they likely wouldn't want to wait and find out. <br>
<br>
[Action 3] Finally, it noticed a torch flare up somewhere behind it from its peripherals. Although it wasn't sure who or what it was, it decided to prepare in advance, using his third action to grow a thicker layer of bark on his back to provide him extra protection.</div>

Sure enough, sapping Clarice's vitality seems to have snapped her out of her ill-timed reverie.  Despite her foul mood, she doesn't waste her time or energy lambasting her party members or thrashing futilely against the vines that have ensnared her.  Instead...<br>
<br>
<b>[Action 1: Clarice uses Investigation (F), Telekinesis (F), and Magic Range (F) to loot gear from the corpses.]<br>
<br>
[Action 2: Clarice uses Mind Control (F) on herself to access her </b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hysterical_strength" target="_blank" class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FHysterical_strength&amp;hash=61574ca7d5bc23f226ea00a071be94b1" rel="nofollow ugc noopener"><b>hysterical strength</b></a><b>.]<br>
<br>
[Action 3: Clarice attacks the vines with the looted gear or her (ungraded) knife.]</b><br>
<br>
Yeah, Clarice really can't do much until she gets rid of the vines grappling her (and until the combat rework is made official, she lacks direct offensive capabilities).  Nevertheless, she doesn't deem her situation dire enough to use an oil pot to free herself - though it would save her two Actions.  Given that there are three healers in the group that are adept at treating physical damage, her physical condition isn't the limiting resource here: the availability of incendiary weaponry is.<br>
<br>
But maybe...<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041">I have a plan, but it will only work if we come together as a team.  We need to hit this thing hard at the same time from multiple angles.  Baharius and Nissa could escort Scylla and Abha into range while Cayde and Kesh flank.  I'll see if I can scrounge up any reinforcements from outside of this thing's range.  I could use a bit of healing, but I'll manage without if you can move into position right now.</span><br>
<br>
Scrapes and bruises serve as physical indicators of Clarice's decreased vitality, though it isn't immediately clear why such wounds exist.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041">Focus on slashing attacks.  Strip the bark away - it doesn't burn as well.  The Ent is cumbersome and heavy - it should have difficulty traversing muddy areas.  Use its weight against it.  Strike low, topple it, and gravity will do work.  Once it's down, hack into its center of mass and light up its interior.<br>
<br>
If you can deliver my kit to Cayde, you might convince him to upgrade it.  I bet he has the components.<br>
<br>
On a similar note, if any of you can think of a use for the gem we found yesterday, take it.  It isn't doing me any good right now and necromancy isn't my strong suit.<br>
<br>
And if you can stay clear of any reinforcements I send, do it.  You know why.</span></div>

<br>​</div><hr><br>
Baharius felt a rush of excitement as he watched his massive blade pierce deep into the ent's wooden exterior with burning oil seeping deep into the cut. He'd hear Cayde behind him, thanking his intervention, as it gave the alchemist enough time to break free and retreat. Yet while the saurian would fail in cutting straight through the tree-creature's limb, his blade would unfortunately not catch on fire. His mild disappointment would sully further as he noticed the ent attempting to regenerate and heal the damage through the rapid binding of its fibers. While not entirely unexpected, Baharius knew he'd have to focus his efforts quickly on severing these limbs before they can fully regenerate. And the more oil thrown upon it, the more susceptible it will be to proper fire damage.<br>
<br>
For now, the saurian had to face the giant sentient tree as the rest attempted to formulate last-second plans. He had to admit, in the state he was in now, he wasn't going to last super long against this massive mound of wood and root by his lonesome. And so, as the ent roared at Baharius' challenging statement, he would move his massive leg in an attempt to squash him. And so its foot descended and made contact with the scaly general's hide, no doubt expecting to feel the satisfying feeling of red-paste underneath its rooted toes if not hear the cracking of saurian bones.<br>
<br>
However, the ent wouldn't feel this satisfaction. For just moments before, the saurian would feel something penetrate his backside followed by a surge of overpowering might of the likes he'd never felt before. His body burned with bouncing adrenaline, sparking about through his large muscles and coursing through his blood. This was a good burn; a VERY good burn in fact. While he didn't feel like a god, he certainly felt much more capably determined to allow himself a fighting chance. And so, moments before the ent's foot would impact his scaly form, the Saurian issued a <a href="https://youtu.be/9UQE7N7O6q8?t=14" target="_blank" class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2F9UQE7N7O6q8%3Ft%3D14&amp;hash=39b083a280be4051b07ba4224cc4e542" rel="nofollow ugc noopener"><b><u>bellowing roar</u></b></a><b> before</b> <b>plunging his great-sword straight up the creature's foot with as much might as he could muster</b>. It wasn't so much as to cause significant damage as it was to ward impending doom from collapsing onto him.<br>
<br>
And Baharius certainly wasn't going to let this newfound strength and vigor go to waste.<br>
<br>
Using this momentary opening to his advantage, Baharius' powerful tail would smash against the ground <b>(adding [Superstrength F]) and have the saurian leap and climb upon the ent's gnarled leg</b>, digging his hooked-claws in with considerable grip. Within that same timeframe, he attempts to maneuver his way towards the giant tree's behind in a sweeping motion before<b> plunging his jagged blade deep into the beast's backside and starting sawing into him with quick powerful thrusts.</b> He was going to be a massive thorn in this tree-man's back, hopefully allowing just enough time and distraction to have his party go with whatever plans they have up their sleeves.</div>

Climbing up the hill was more strenuous than Cayde expected, though he still managed to distance himself and the ent. With the potion's effects subsiding and the prospect of a gruesome death still not too distant, Cayde figured it was a great time to start making preparations. In the distance, he saw that Kate was already starting hers and offered her a casual wave. He realized it was a useless gesture, but it was nice to see she hadn't gotten tangled up in those vines. But <i>he </i>would if he kept dilly-dallying, so Cayde went to work, igniting a torch of his own, flasks of the alcohol-mixed kerosene clinking listlessly on his side. The sound brought his attention to them, and an idea immediately popped into his head.<br>
<br>
He'd only glazed past it in entry-level alchemy journals and only seen it in action during Ryken's numerous barfights, but there <i>was</i> a recipe he could make with these. An improvised 'potion' that'd surely help against a giant, <i>flammable</i> tree. If it worked, that is, Cayde wasn't sure if he could rely on the ingenuity of a drunkard. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b><i>"Well, better now than never," </i></b></span>He thought, soaking a cloth in alcohol and sealing it into the neck of the flask. The end-product was crude compared to his usual crafts, but hopefully, it'd be enough to get a good fire going. <br>
<br>
But not with Baharius hacking into the ent. And especially not with that extra layer of wood covering it up. He'd have to get into a better position in the meantime. So, with the torch in hand, Cayde did, taking a few cautious steps north. <b>(G-13). </b>Although the nearest trees were some distance away, Cayde kept an eye out for creeping vines from them or the ent. <b>[Perception]</b>. It was already terrifying enough to get a leg caught in one; his whole body would be a nightmare he wasn't even sure his knife could fix.</div>

Scylla ran towards Clarice, panting, she finally arrived to her side, although a bit late as upon a closer look realized the vines had cast some kind of affliction upon her.<br>
<br>
“Clarice! Hang in there, let me just..” the witch would tug on the vines just as she did with the previous two, and channeling the elemental fire affinity into her hands. [Magic D-  Fire Affinity F - Energised E – 0 Cooldown] [Action 1]<br>
<br>
Once loose, she’d do her best to clean her up, and get her to stand. “How do you feel?” She asked concerned, obviously noticing the effects of whatever the vines had put her through. “I’m sorry, I was so slow!” She rolled her eyes annoyed, before she noticed the ground shake a bit from the massive ents stomping. “Uhm, maybe you should wait here Clarice. I’ll see what I can do up ahead.”<br>
Dashing forward she came within range of the ent. [Action 2]<br>
<br>
Wincing as the tree creature roared and made battle with Baharius. “Here we go!” She exclaimed confidently as the witch channeled her fiery magic, igniting her staff in elemental flames. “Fire arrows!” She muttered, before glowing fiery arrows made themselves manifest, launching all five of them at the Ent folk, focused straight under its head at the upper chest area. [Action 3]</div>

(<span style="color: red">OOC:</span><i>Unless the rules changed, Clarice would also need Magic E to use Magic Range F, as it is an augmenter to abilities using Magic. It'd also ensure she doesn't use two F grade abilities in one turn without energised, as Mind Control counts for F Grade ability CD's.</i>) With some effort and a touch of telekinesis, Clarice managed to draw in the blade of a broken-off sword. It was a bit rusted, but part of it was still sharp (F grade blade). Although the hysterical strength didn't actually buff her strength up like [bolster strength] would, it did cause a whole lot of adrenaline to rush through her veins and act as if her life was at stake. The latter aided her in ignoring any pain and discomforted she received from holding the blade in bare hands and struggling against the veins until she started to manage cutting them more and more loose. She didn't manage to finish off cutting them altogether, but she did regain enough movability to cut the last bits off (<i>in a single action in the next turn</i>) soon enough. As she was doing so, she managed to state her plans and ideas. It didn't take long before Scylla arrived to burn the last remnants of vines off of her with ease, thanks to Clarice being mostly free already (<i>E ability, energised, 0 post CD</i>).<br>
<br>
Baharius, meanwhile, was fighting directly on the front-lines. Backed with some extra strength, the Saurian's sword would enter the incoming foot deeply, enough to split it into two parts, one crashing down on either side of him. With effort, the Ent managed to remain standing, but it was clearly hurt a fair bit. Whilst Baharius got some scraps and bruises in the process, it was nothing serious and far from being squashed altogether (F grade superficial wounds, primary along his arms). Although Baharius did not particularly excel at any mobility skills, the Ent was large enough and with enough vines for holding-onto for Baharius for him to climb along and towards his back. However, he'd encounter the very bark the Ent grew to protect itself against attacks from behind only moments ago. Whilst Baharius, with his newfound strength, was able to strip away a large chunk of that bark, even his newfound strength wasn't enough to penetrate straight through it and into the inner vines themselves. <br>
<br>
As Cayde prepared his molotovs and got into position, his perceptive eyes would spot something far more intriguing than just the vines. The vines were actively piercing into corpses and reducing them in size, as if using them as fertiliser. Were he to follow them along towards the Ent, he'd see them run into the Ent's leg, which started to already regenerate from the damage Baharius had done to it. From there, the alchemist would like be capable of putting two and two together, having spotted one of their opponent's most dangerous strengths. <br>
<br>
Nissa, deciding she'd had enough of just watching the show, decided to face the Ent. With the Ent preoccupied by Baharius, it was a relatively easy task for her to stab him with a Draining Strike. The Ent would immediately feel part of its strength drained, unable to use it to its fullest (<i>1 post strength debuff = this post's counterattacks</i>). <br>
<br>
Scylla was quick to use her fire magic to burn free Clarice, but her advice to stay there was considerably dangerous. The bulb heading for them went ignored, as she instead chose to fire at the Ent (<i>D ability, energised, 1 post CD</i>) and with results. The Ents face caught flame as the fire-bolts hit him, eating away a fair bit into the vines and even reaching some of the corpses rotting away between those. It was clear that Scylla was the most valuable fighter in a battle against this creature.<br>
<br>
That said... nobody managed or cared to stop the odd bulb the Ent had thrown from flying straight at the bunny and those around her. It'd impact the ground soon enough.<br>

Without a weapon, Abha had no clue how to defend her allies or herself from the incoming danger. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“Watch out!”</b></span> She yelled, as she tried to get away and attempted to push the nearest person (Kesh) out of harm's way while at it. That bulb clearly wasn't meant to just bonk her on the head, after all. In turn, she got hit in the back by the full brunt of the bulb's true purpose... The moment the bulb landed where Abha stood previously, thorns shot out in a (purple) area around it. Kesh managed to be pushed out of range, but Abha's back got pierced by a full load of them. Oddly enough, having seen it coming, she at least didn't receive too much stress from it. However, her back was pierced severely by the many thorns (C grade injury) and wouldn't easily regenerate.  <br>
<br>
The same thorns made their way to Scylla and Clarice, although with the way they were standing now, Clarice would be mostly shielded by Scylla. The latter had turned around to fire at the Ent, only to see the bulb land and the thorns shoot out. Having ignored or missed the bulb, having Clarice directly behind her and having just used her fire magic to attack, she was out of options to effectively defend herself. The thorns would shred into her entire body, ripping holes in her clothes and causing her to bleed from multiple wounds. The only benefit was that she was a little more on the outskirts of the impact area compared to Abha, but she'd still suffer considerable (D grade injury) pain from the thorns ripping through her flesh. With Clarice standing almost entirely behind her, she'd only be injured by a few stray thorns that made their way past Scylla (E injury), which only injured her in a somewhat considerable degree due to her reduced vitality.<br>

Kalina, on the other hand, had been awaiting an opportunity. Baharius prevented the perfect one. As the Saurian tore away the bark that protected the Ent's backside, she quick dipped her bolts in oil, lit them and carefully aimed. She trusted herself to be a good enough shot to hit past her ally, but even so...  <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Don't climb up further!”</b></span> She yelled at Baharius, to ensure he wouldn't get into her line of sight, as she saw him slide down a bit after tearing down the Ent's bark-armour. [Action 1] As was her MO, she fired her strongest shot first. Considering the Ent hadn't turned around, she knew she could hit it hard; and so she did. The bolt managed to pierce through the vines, along the torn-off armour and into the Ent, where it start to make some of the vines around it smoulder. [Action 2] The next bolt was slightly less powerful, but all the more accurate and dangerous, as she used her Precision Strikes to land the best hit. This too, penetrated deep into the Ent and further made him smoulder. For her final attack, she decided to take a big risk. Although Baharius was still on the Ent, he wasn't that close to the Ent's leg, so she shot at the Ent's leg, particularly where he'd wounded the Ent with an oiled-up blade previously. The effect was immediately, as the oil was set ablaze and burned away at the Ent's leg before it could regenerate, causing the giant to start falling...<br>

Things were looking very bad for the Ent, as he was now burning severely in two places and a little in one. His head was burning from Scylla's fire-bolts, his leg from Bahariu's oil and Kalina's last bolt and his chest from her earlier two bolts. It knew it was in trouble if something didn't change soon, especially as as it started falling due to missing the support of one of his legs...<br>
<br>
That's when an unexpected ally arrived for the Ent, as a blast of water hit him in the face and managed to put out the fire caused by Scylla. A blast of water to his leg followed. Once they'd look in the direction of the bolts, they'd see the origin. <br>

The Ent didn't have to be told that twice, as it used his first action to get up again and compose himself, whilst shaking off and shoving away Baharius. Thanks to the fire no longer burning, his leg was already regenerating again, enough so to stand upon, albeit unsteady. That said, Cayde would notice the amount of corpses in the shrubs and even in the Ent itself had shrunk considerably. Kesh would notice the scent of death was decreasing rapidly as well. It wouldn't be able to keep this regeneration up for long. <br>
<br>
The Ent knew that as well, so he wanted to take care of the most dangerous opponents first. He'd be too slow to get to Scylla by foot, so instead, he threw another bulb at her. This one was a lot smaller than the first, although it had thorns on the outside that'd likely hurt a lot if they'd hit her. It wasn't thrown in an arch like the first, but instead in a more direct path towards Scylla, like a baseball from a pitcher. Scylla (or those between Scylla and the Ent that'd try to defend her) would still have time to react, dodge or defend (or come up with another manner), but she'd have to think and act on it quickly, as this next attack might knock her out due to her earlier injuries. <br>
<br>
For his third action, he turned around and headed towards his second source of concern; Kalina. However, Baharius was still between them. Ignoring the rest, the Ent tried to garner some speed, hoping to crash into Baharius to bring down the smaller creature and reach Kalina. <br>
<br>
That said, the party wasn't over yet, as an arrow suddenly flew narrowly passed the recently arrived Nixie. <span style="color: #00FA9A"><b>“Focus on the Ent, I'll handle this one!”</b></span> The recently arrived <span style="color: #00FA9A">Scylla</span> called out. Whatever their intention was, they seemed to be on the same side? It wasn't entirely clear, but with that final member here, the full crew had shown up to settle scores, new or old.</div>

 (Nissa)</b><br>
<br>​</div><hr><br>
Even with his increased strength in sawing down the tree like a lumberjack, Baharius would find that even with his enhanced strength, it would only help in tearing away a chunk of bark from the ent's hide. Still, he wasn't able to completely pierce straight through the creature's body and down to its fibers and cause greater damage. His body continued tensing as he continued desperately to hack away, while still trying to hold on for dear life with his spare hand. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Why... won't... you... just... TIMBER?!"</span></b> Baharius growled in line with the beat of his brutal hacking. Just what was it going to take to completely take this big tree-thing down? He felt like he needed to reach the thing's head, hopefully still having his buff to try and decapitate the ent.<br>
<br>
As the saurian began slowly climbing up the beast's back, using his blade as a makeshift pick, he'd suddenly hear Chandra from afar telling him to cease from climbing further up. Sounded like she had a plan. Baharius glanced back roughly in her direction and nodded, even as his immense weight against his blade jerked him downwards just a bit. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Do it!"</span></b> the beast roared urgently, not even caring if he was going to be caught in the crossfire. So long as it damaged the tree, he would fully understand. Kalina's would fire accurately twice upon the ent's exposed armor, ripping into its fibril insides and causing him to smolder. It seemed to be working!<br>
<br>
The final strike would hit the leg where Baharius' oil was applied, quickly catching fire and burning away at the limb. The saurian was wrenched sideways, with the trunk-like leg now beginning to give way, causing the ent to lean dangerously to one side. The saurian even noticed the ent's face now catching fire, no doubt coming from Scylla's efforts from just the other side. He hoped they've been doing their best as well, the end was just in sight! Just a bit more and the creature would be down and immobilized!<br>
<br>
But when Baharius heard a brush of steam putting out the flame, followed by a bit of mist trickling down his snout, his heart sank. Someone was trying to put out the fire! And with it all of their efforts are now literally going up in smoke. The saurian growled as he began searching around for the possible culprit, before hearing an unknown feminine voice call out to the ent. The voice seemed new, but Baharius instantly picked up on its "haughty" attitude; connecting it to the shaman they failed to kill yesterday. And the fact it utilized water abilities? He wondered if this the same thing that caused his mouth to explode? The saurian gritted his teeth. The coincidences were certainly there, but it was something Baharius wouldn't have time to contemplate further, as he felt rocked against the ent's shaking body.<br>
<br>
The force was enough to shove the saurian general off the ent's body, causing him to slide into the mud with sword in grasp. Baharius spat the damp mud from his mouth and shook his head as he rose back up to his clawed feet. He could still feel Abha's buff coursing through him, wanting to channel a violent release, but it was feeling like it could deplete at any moment. There wasn't much time now; he had to make this count. As the saurian eyed the ent, now turning towards both Chandra and his directions, he gave a glance back at the woman with a determined look.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"I hope you aren't finished yet!"</span></b> Baharius called out in quick, raspy breaths. His voice could be easily heard from where Cayde was as well, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Give it your all! No need to wait for me to get out of the way."</span></b><br>
<br>
The ent was now beginning to charge towards their location, its sights fixed on Chandra. The saurian snorted as he extended his great-sword to his side and at the ready.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"I can <i>take</i> it."</span></b><br>
<br>
And with that, utilizing all of his available strength and channeling the buff through his entire body, Baharius would start <b><u>sprinting</u></b> towards the great tree ent. He ran for as fast as his legs could carry him; gripping onto his sword as hard as his knuckles could; and gazing into the beast as focused to not even blink. He was going in for the decisive blow and he knew exactly where he'd hit. He focused on the heavily damaged leg and using all of his available might <b>[+ Super Strength F]</b>, he lifted his blade as far he could and attempted to <b><u>Broad Dune Swipe the weakened leg</u></b> to topple this tree down. Lastly, he'd attempt to stab straight into the ent's chest with a <b><u>Lunging Pierce,</u></b> doing everything in his physical capabilities to halt it in his tracks; even extending his open arm out - scratched up as it was from earlier - as if he was pushing against it.<br>
<br>
And with a deep breath, Baharius attempted to call everyone to arms, almost as if echoing across the entire marsh itself, and gave a single order to all who'd hear.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"NOW! HIT IT WITH EVERYTHING YOU GOT!"</span></b><br>
<br>
He didn't even notice the imposter Scylla arrive to take care of the tiny water creature he pondered briefly about~</div>

Cayde's perceptive eyes didn't pick up on any vines creeping on him, but they saw something equally interesting. The ent was utilizing the nearby corpses to regenerate the damage done by Baharius', Scylla's, Nissa's, and Kate's brutal attacks. It was a disgusting trick, but one that it wouldn't be able to pull off for very long. There were two reasons why, and Baharius had already yelled out one. Cayde didn't need to be told twice. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"OI, You said you were looking for me, yeah?"</span> </b>He called out to the ent, lighting the Molotov's cloth with his torch's flame, <b>"<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">Well, go on, get a good look at </span><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">this!"</span> </i></b>The bottle left his hand in a throw aimed at the decaying corpses lodged within the ent's body. However, that alone wouldn't take it down, so Cayde immediately rushed to craft another. There were plenty more where that came from.<br>
<br>
After finishing the mixture, he heard two familiar voices behind him—one that undoubtedly belonged to Scylla and another that clearly labeled itself as the ent's ally. So, two more things to worry about. Cayde sighed, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Guys, the <i>fake </i>Scylla's back again!" </b></span>Why? He still hadn't the slightest clue, but 'Scylla' seemed more focused on taking out the other newcomer than interfering with the battle. The reason behind that was just as puzzling, but he wasn't in the position to ponder that right now. Following Baharius' orders took priority. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Ah, forget it. We'll deal with it later!" </b></span>He'd set another bottle ablaze and tossed it towards the ent's body before retreating a few steps north. <b>(H, 12)</b></div>

Scylla, had just finished launching the fire arrows, when the bulb she failed to notice exploded, sending thorns slashing through her body.

Ow.. ow.. ow.."</span> she added sarcastically, as she commanded her wounded body to stand back up, groaning and struggling as the fresh cuts began to bleed more by the seconds.<br>

It was then she noticed the fire that she inflicted upon the ent had subsided by the sight of steam rising from its frame.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Dammit.. of course he has helpers." </span>She groaned, but before she could think about following up with another fiery spell, the witch's awareness spiked at the sight of another bulb, this one much more direct and intentional heading her way.<br>

Managing to lift her staff, she channeled her ability to manipulate the air with all of her might<b><i> [Wind Affinity F + Magic Range E 30ft + Spell Duration F + Control Environment</i></b>], manipulating the air around the bulb as it comes into range to divert it from its trajectory and far into the trees.

Limping and tripping she dropped her staff, picking it back up quickly before making her way forward, occasionally falling to her knees as her body would tremor and then wince with agony, Scylla managed to catch up to Abha who wasn't doing any better. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"C-can.. you stand?"</span> she asked weakly as she helped the bunny up to her feet,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "We.. we can't give up.. the others.. <i>ugh</i>.. need our help." </span><span style="color: rgb(239, 239, 239)">Looking at Kesh, the witch beckoned her to follow. </span><span style="color: #9365b8">"If you can help me, </span><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">I'd</span><span style="color: #9365b8">..

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1665031074664-png.1028652/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/965/965782-cb1c386a8cbfae7ed1289952dbff9697.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1665031074664.png" title="1665031074664.png" width="100" height="114" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Kesh shook her head coming out off another high, it looked like the world had changed again like the drugs were making her skip in time or mess with her memory of remembrance. She would feel something push her away as the Ratkin stumbled to the side, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Wh-What happened?</span></b> " She would hear something strike the swamp and the sound of whizzing arrows fly, Kesh coward at the sound and turned her head to see what happened, only for Abha to be pierced by these spikes. The Ratkin's eyes widen a bit seeing this, although the scent of death smelled like it was being lifted. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">The death smell-scent is going away!</span></b> " Kesh called. She was able to actually breath properly finally. <br>
<br>
Kesh heard the cries and turned to see Scylla pierced by thorns, she was wearing clothes so it was going to be worst. Kesh's mind moved elsewhere as she thought of home. The Colony. People she saw get hurt there, all of it her fault. The Ratkin pulled herself back and made her way to the bleeding witch that asked for help. (Since Scylla is next to Abha, free action.) Kesh moved to the bleeding witch, Kesh was trying to think as she held her crossbow in one hand. Looking at Scylla's wounds, the Ratkin winced in pain. She then gently held the witch's arm, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Let me Heal-mend you! </span></b>" Kesh called as her ring lit up and tried to heal Scylla's wounds. [Magic Heal Cut Ache! E] (Action 1, attempting to heal Scylla's wounds) Kesh had a scared and worried look on her face as she just wanted to go home. But then she thought of something. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Stella! Keep shooting tree-root with fire-hot! It feeds off death-dead and the smell-scent is going away-away!</span></b> " Kesh explained rapidly, when she got nervous she would make multiple synonyms in her words.<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul"><b><i>Magic Heal Cut-Ache! Yes! </i>- Magic Affinity E, Healing F:</b> Kesh is able to use her magic to help heal minor cuts, aches and bruises. Has to be in touching range. (1 Post Cooldown)</li>
</ul><br>
Kesh then decided maybe she should help out, looking to Scylla and Abha "<b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"> I have idea-plan! </span></b>" Kesh stated looking to the tree, Kesh held her nearly falling apart crossbow and began running towards the Ent. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Keep burn-hotting it! </span></b>" Kesh called. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">The death is dying!</span></b> " Kesh pointed at the tree as she ran. She knew of something putting out the fires and Kesh wanted to deal with it, as she had her final bolt prepared. The Ratkin stopped behind Nissa (F,20) and aimed her weapon before firing her final flaming torch at the Ent, aiming for the canopy of leaves on its head. " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Burn-hot-maim!</span></i></b> " Kesh called as her contraption would fall apart in her hands. (Kesh moved to F,20 then fired her fire arrow at the Ent, looking for the origin of the water that put him out.) Actions 2 and 3</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">As the Swamp Ent’s thorn-filled bulb detonates in Clarice's vicinity, she raises her arms to protect her face, principally her eyes, from the shrapnel.  Had she the opportunity, she would have dropped prone with her feet facing the bulb to minimize her exposure to the shrapnel and protect all of her vital organs, but the vines that had constricted her severely limited her ability to improvise.  Moreover, she half-expected the bulb to belch poison or spray acid all over the affected area.  It seems Lady Luck, stingy though she was, had dissuaded Mother Nature from arming her adversary with chemical weaponry, much to Clarice’s pleasure.<br>
<br>
Nevertheless, the unconventional grenade wounded Clarice, Scylla, and Abha.  That was more than apparent after Clarice absorbed the impact.  She got lucky, escaping with a score or two of thorns embedding in her arms and legs, but the other two did not fare so well.  Clarice spotted the blood streaming down Scylla’s side and the holes peppering Abha’s armor.  In comparison, her wounds were trivial, and though she felt weak and useless, she steeled herself for a counteroffensive.  The Swamp Ent was targeting their back line, but if she could split off and draw its fire -<br>
<br>
That was when Clarice spotted the second bulb shooting toward Scylla.  Having sized up the situation, she made a split second decision.  Her body began to move as if of its own accord.<br>
<br>
Scylla is important to Clarice.  What’s more, Clarice recognizes that Scylla is marked by destiny.  She has the power to change the world for the better if the cruelties of this world do not prove her undoing.<br>
<br>
Clarice is fairly ambivalent about Abha.  She understands that Abha has good intentions, but her means and methods are wholly deficient.  Like Lord Byron, she seeks glory - or perhaps redemption - through death.  She is foolhardy, not brave, and her mission is of little consequence to Clarice.  Still, her survival is crucial to the party’s survival as both Scylla and Abha are capable combatants.<br>
<br>
And in truth, they stand to lose considerably more than she does if the party loses this fight.<br>
<br>
This logic, cold and brutal, drives Clarice forward like the hammer of a revolver when the trigger is pressed.<br>
<br>
[Action 1 - Movement + Feature: Thought Process Acceleration]  If Scylla’s gust does not alter the bulb’s course, Clarice will launch herself at the bulb with grim determination, attempting to wedge it between her torso and the mucky earth.  With any luck, her backpack, littered with random items, will not permit any shrapnel to escape.<br>
<br>
If she miraculously survives, Clarice will pick herself up, spare a glance toward the heavens (as if searching for some guardian angel), nod, and run toward the nearest animal (within 10 feet if possible) or, lacking that, in the direction she last saw animals.</div>

Baharius, with no concern for his own safety, gave Kalina the go-ahead to go all out. It wasn't like she hadn't done so already, but at least it was consensual now. Baharius would only have to take two steps before being back at the end, barely enough to start sprinting, as the Ent had already moved in Baharius' direction as well. It was in for a nasty surprise. Targetting the weakened leg with a buffed up Broad Dune Swipe worked well enough in toppling the giant tree, as it crashed down and missed Cayde by an inch. The Saurian managed to follow things up by a Lunging Pierce into the Ent's chest, but it didn't seem to harm the Ent too much, as whilst it tore through vines and corpses stuck inside of it, it didn't sever anything vital.<br>
<br>
One the one hand, Cayde would've gotten the scare of his life. On the other, the toppled-down Ent made it very easy for Cayde to throw a Molotov directly at the corpses lodged into the Ent's body. That was doing a lot more than the sword had done, as the the sounds of snapping vines and breaking twigs was hurt from them being burn through. With the corpses themselves aflame, the Ent was losing his materials to regenerate as well, making it all the more dangerous. The second bottle was tossed with less care, only hitting the Ent's hand. Although it caught fire, the effect wasn't nearly as strong as that of the first throw. <br>
<br>
Scylla's wind affinity (along with other spells) managed to divert the trajectory somewhat, but the affinity wasn't strong enough to alter its course drastically. Without noticing that she hadn't been able to change its course well enough to avoid it, Scylla was about to step forwards when Clarice suddenly jumped past her and managed to barely shield Scylla from the projectile with her own body. That said, Clarice would realise that this bulb was different than the first. It wasn't an exploding one, but one that was thrown to incapacitate through the force at which it was thrown alone. With her reduced vitality, it meant that the thorns on its outside easily made their way through cloth and skin alike, burying themselves deeply into her body. The force also knocked the air out of her lungs and cracked two of her ribs while at it. Although she survived the impact, she'd be in too much pain to move and her sight would be a fair bit blurry. A few of her organs had been punctured, but the gods above had somehow been on her side, as they didn't puncture anything that'd instantly kill her. [Conscious, but mostly incapacitated. Can make 1 more action (that doesn't rely on physical strength) next round before passing out.] <br>
<br>
Meanwhile, delirious from blood-loss, pain and panic, Scylla had made her way onwards towards Abha and Kesh. Kesh managed to heal a fair share of the wounds on Scylla, but those were all the lesser cuts and bruises. In the end, two major wounds remained that were very dangerous. Both were from the earlier hail of thorns; one in her upper-left leg and one in right side just above the waist. The two wounds, other than still bleeding badly and hurting a lot, had the additional problem that the thorns had wedged themselves deep into Scylla's flesh while she was moving around. It was clear that if those thorns weren't removed and the wounds wouldn't be held under pressure, seared shut, healed or closed somehow, she'd first lose conscious from the blood loss (<i>the next turn</i>) and risk further harm from the thorns inside of her.  <br>
<br>
After healing up Scylla a little bit, Kesh turned to towards the Ent instead, as she stopped directly behind Nissa. The fallen giant made for a very easy target to shoot at, which Kesh did with the last torch, before the contraption gave out on her. It hit the Ent in the head, where it managed to start smouldering and eventually burn. <br>

Abha was in serious pain, but watching the bleeding Scylla stumble past her and seeing Clarice be hit in what seemed to be a fatal manner through her own blurry eyes was a lot to take in and sent a shock through her system. Luckily enough, she kept her breathing steady. If she'd lose herself, they'd only be off worse. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“I'll live... it should start to heal...”</b></span> Abha uttered, making sure they would concern themselves more with those that'd need her aid a lot more. She looked around, trying to make sense of the situation. The Ent had fallen and was burning, which was good. Clarice might be dead. Scylla looked dying. She couldn't spot Kalina or Cayde, but she noticed Baharius was fighting the Ent. Nissa and Kesh were also on it... what could she do? She didn't have her weapon and she was in no condition to use her magic right now... That's when she noticed the Nixie that had put out the fire on the Ent before. The little trickster spirit was fighting it out with the other 'Scylla', but neither seemed to be winning. That's where she could help.  <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“Now!”</b></span> She shouted towards <span style="color: #00FA9A">Scylla</span> as she used a simple light spell to surround the Nixie in a bright light.<br>

Luck had saved the Nixie from being hit by <span style="color: #00FA9A">Scylla</span>'s first arrow, but agility had saved her from the next two. Sadly enough, her own water bolts weren't doing much to her opponent either. They'd fought themselves to a stalemate. That's when she saw the Ent topple and set on fire. She knew she had to put him out soon, if she wanted him to kill the nasty folk that ruined her fun, so she prepared to fire another water bolt at him, only to suddenly hear someone shout 'now' and to be blinded by a strange light. <span style="color: #00FA9A">Scylla</span> immediately took her chance, finally being able to shoot an arrow at a target not ready to dodge. It hit its mark, piercing the tiny Nixie and sending the little body to crash into the ground. The Nixie was still alive, but barely so. At this point, it was safe to say only her inherent magic was keeping her going, for however long that'd be, as her body was clearly in dire states from being hit by the projectile and crashing into the grounds afterwards. <br>

With Cayde managing to burn the Ent from within after Baharius toppled it, Kalina could see the creature was really, really close to being defeated. They just needed that little extra push. Sadly enough, she couldn't do much in the current situation. She sent three more bolts, oiled up and set ablaze, into the Ent, hitting its remaining leg. [Attack x3] The three attacks combined managed to get it to smoulder and eventually burn, which brought a smile to her face. It shouldn't be much longer now...<br>

The Ent was absolutely furious. Using what little corpses he could still reach through his vines or in his body, he generated his burning right arm. If he was to die here, he'd take as many of them with him as he could. With his burning hand, he suddenly grabbed Baharius, who'd been close to the Ent and fire with little regard for his own safety. Vines from within the hand were trying to encircle Baharius, trying to tie him up further, but the fire burned them as quickly as the Ent could produce them. However, that same fire would burn Baharius' skin all over, getting (E-grade] burn wounds yet again, but this time across all of his body, not just his face. If he wouldn't retreat soon, those burn wounds would get even more serious, as whilst the Ent's hand was burning a lot, it didn't seem to be burning up just yet.<br>
<br>
With the Ent's other arm, he lashed out at Cayde. The alchemist might end up being the death of the Ent, so he was desperately furious to at least try to crush him as well. Cayde would have to attempt to defend or dodge a C-grade heavy pummel attack coming at him, as whilst the Ent was laying down, it wasn't able to exert its full force, but still a considerable amount of it.<br>
<br>
As the Ent was burning, he tried to use the vines again, but failed. Too much fire. In a desperate attempt, he tried growing more bark armour to slow down the fire or to cut the burning inside of him off from oxygen. The latter worked somewhat, as it saved his life for now, but he was still burning in many places and hadn't been able to get up. At least he was hoping to bring some others down with him...</div>

 (Nissa)</b>​</div><br>
Keeping his bulwark stance against the staggered ent, Baharius braced himself as the rest of the available party proceeded to unleash everything they had against their mighty foe. A number more molotovs from Cayde and Kalina would be thrown and shattered across the sheer broad of the giant, burning oil seeping further into the crevices within his bark and engulfing it in sheer flame and smoke. The former alchemist would cause the creature's right hand to severe. Even a lobbed fiery stake from the crossbow, launched by Kesh, would make true with its mark before the makeshift contraption would brake apart from the stress. It was a worthy sacrifice for such a glorious moment. The tree-beast's furious moans in its desperate attempts to rid itself of the blazing inferno raging around him was music to the saurian's ears; encapsulating the fact that they were finally getting close to finishing it off.<br>
<br>
Even so, Baharius felt as if he was expecting a bit more from this final assault. Where was Scylla in all this? He thought she would be around to produce several more fire vortexes upon the ent and quicken its death, sundering its already charred form to ash. If only had he known of the plight the witch endured and the injuries that caused her to fall incapacitated. Nonetheless, it seemed as their efforts were just short from achieving an immediate TKO. All they needed now one final hard push to finish this long brutal fight. They weren't willing to give up now; the stakes were just too high.<br>
<br>
And that's when the ent would initiate one last ditch effort of its own; not wanting to go down alone. Regenerating the right arm that Cayde had helped lobbed and sucking the last bits of the fibrous lashes attempting to wrap around his entire body and limbs, wanting to take him down with them in utter desperation. He even felt them trying to hogtie his tail. Yet all of it would be in vain; for the rushing, roaring fire would soon burn them to ash as quickly as they formed. But they wouldn't be fast enough to spare berserk general from going aflame himself. Once again, the blazing flames licked and lashed upon Baharius' entire hide, as visions of his initial strife on the day prior flashed before his very eyes.<br>
<br>
But this time, the general was prepared... no, he expected this.<br>
<br>
That didn't mean he was in hellish pain, not at all. Baharius could feel himself roasting alive in a pain far greater than when it was just concentrated on his head. He snarled through the utter agony that coursed through his flesh, with thick dark smoke now bellowing from his back. He wanted so desperately to roar as loud as he could - to scream, to cry - to have any kind of relief against the hellfire that once again brought ruin to his body. It was purely unbearable; but his determination outweighed the consequences of his actions. And yet, he wasn't foolish. This wasn't intended to be a self-sacrificing moment. It was too soon for that.<br>
<br>
Baharius' schedule had no room for a deathly departure... not here; not now.<br>
<br>
If he didn't get out now, he would be a smoldering carcass at best, and a charcoaled skeleton at worst.<br>
<br>
But before the general would make such an effort, he took one last look at the ent's seething head. It was his last shot; his final chance to deal the killing blow. Shrugging off the burnt sinews from the vines, Baharius approached the ent's head with purpose; locking eyes with his opponent's with loathsome ire.<br>
<br>
He did not say a word.<br>
<br>
And with one final primal screech, the saurian winded up his great-sword <b>[Super Strength F]</b> and brutally<b> swiped at the ent's eyes</b>, attempting to hook the sharp end with the farthest right orifice and rip through the other. Regardless of the results, Baharius' next course of action was to high tail out of there and head for higher ground. There was no time for anything further dramatics; not that they needed to be at this point. Escaping the inferno behind him, <b>he clamored out a short distance away* </b>before collapsing on the ground in both pain and exhaustion, watching the scene unfold.<br>
<br>
He hoped this was enough... for the sake of he and everyone within this party.<br>
<br>

Cayde could only describe the scene before him as exhilarating and terrifying. Watching the ent burst into flames was satisfying, and so was the knowledge that its defeat was right around the corner. But on the contrary, Baharius' swing nearly gave Cayde a heart attack, and the fact the ent chose <i>him</i> as its final target was equally frightening. One last <i>screw you</i> before it finally kicked the bucket. <b><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Of course, you would!"</span> </i></b>He mumbled indignantly, turning and attempting to run out of the way of the ent's attack <b>(C,12). </b>It was only a matter of time before he could call this a victory - there was no room for dying.<br>
<br>
However, as his sprint stopped next to the tree, Cayde realized he couldn't say that for everybody. The newcomer, which he could vaguely describe as some pixie, was lying hidden in the shrubbery before him, struck down with an arrow. 'Scylla' had got them, and he didn't know how to feel. He should've been thankful, but wasn't this the impostor? The one who'd duped him into doing its dirty work? The same impostor that damn-near blew Baharius' face off? Or was this fairy the impostor? But then, why was that <i>other </i>impostor posing as Scylla and... Cayde shook his head, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b><i>"Don't. You're going to get an aneurysm trying to figure this out." </i></b></span>Or just by being in this swamp for any longer. Revelations and '<i>wishes'</i> could come later; all he wanted now was a soft bed and a nice cup of raspberry tea. <br>
<br>
Maybe <i>after</i> killing the ent, though. It'd pulled so many tricks before, and Cayde felt it had yet another up its sleeve. Or, perhaps that was just his paranoia talking, but he'd already turned around, his last Molotov in hand. At this rate, chucking the liquid alone probably would've hastened the ent's burning. Nevertheless, he held fast, awaiting the monster's next move. If it had one, he couldn't be sure of a<i>nything</i> in this god-forsaken swamp.</div>

Fairly quickly Scylla, realized she couldnt manage to divert the bulbs trajectory. Her staff would fall to the ground as she loosened her grip upon it. She closed her eyes, and extended her arms at her sides. It seemed she had given up, and in the final seconds before impact she could only think of being back home. Eating. Delicious. Cake.<br>
<br>
Then a breeze seemed to suddenly brush her face, opening her eyes she saw Clarice on the ground.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “C-clarice?”</span> She stuttered, her eyes welling, as she collapsed to her knees from not just physical pain but emotional now as well. Holding Clarice’s head on her lap, she brought her close, as tears came streaming from her eyes.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “No.. no.. why.. how could you-“ </span>Her tears blurred eyes as she looked over Clarices wounds,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..how am i supposed to make you feel better..”</span> her voice breaking,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..when you're doing hero stuff like this?!” </span><br>
<br>
Scylla, starting to feel the effects of blood loss, would lay down Clarice’s head gently, before making her way to Kesh for her healing. Although, alot of the wounds inflicted were recovered, she still carried two gashes that continued to bleed quite profusely. Weakly sitting back down on the ground, the witch recalled some basic information on closing wounds. She pushed back her hat full of holes, from her face. Although she never thought it would ever be necessary, and since she didn’t carry anything in the form of thread and needle. It left her with the last possible action.<br>
<br>
Looking at Abha and Kesh she was beginning to struggle to keep her eyes open,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “I.. need one of you to.. help me with.. something..” </span>She’d then lay on her side, pulling up her shirt ripped shirt revealing the bloody gash.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “I.. must.. help Clarice.. theres a thorn.. in this wound.. take it out.. no matter how much of a cry baby i am about it..”</span> A groan would escape her.</div>

<br>
Jumping up at the creature she would strike it with her sword using draining strike once again as she quickly followed up with another strike of her sword. With the creature extinguishing some of the flames that the party had started she smirked as he could tell it was only a matter of time now. She was eager to leave the swamp and never return and this creature was one of the few things keeping her in this place before she could leave.<br>

Kesh wasn't able to hear Scylla's pleas as she had raced away already, looking up at the Ent, or she ignored her when Clarice was mentioned. With Kesh's contraption falling apart in her hands, Kesh saw her fire had started again which caused the Ratkin to hop in the air in excitement and joy. Although she saw Baharius get wrapped by the Ent, Kesh's eyes widen in fear as fire enveloped the vines, burning the Saurian. Kesh felt a bit guilty and began to race her way over to the large reptilian beast that was able to free itself. "<b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"> Balthazar! </span></b>" Kesh called, the Ratkin raced over to him, <b>(N,14. 1 action) </b>The Ratkin hopped in front of Baharius and looked over his charred and mangled body, feeling bad for the reptile, she knew she couldn't heal his burns, but his arms looked good enough for her to heal. " Arm-things! I can heal-mend arm-things! " Kesh stated as she hopped onto his body and used her ring that glowed. " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Heal-Ache!</span></i></b> " She called as an aura enveloped his arms to heal them. <b>[Heal-Ache! F]</b><br>

<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul"><b><i>Heal-Ache!</i> - F - Healing F:</b> Using her knowledge, Kesh is able to help heal minor aches and cuts. (0 Post Cooldown)</li>
</ul>Afterwards, Kesh smiled, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Help-assist I want to!</span></b> " Kesh had a hand on her hip with her other in a thumbs up pointed at Baharius, showing her need for approval and camaraderie. The Ratkin looked around and saw Cayde, her heart fluttered as she was happy her master was still alive! Kesh looked up at the Ent, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">I want the fruit on tree-canopy! </span></b>" Kesh called at the Ent. She then raced at the tree hopping up onto the tree bark, she wanted to get the fruit for her master Cayde. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">For Master Clyde! </span></b>" She called attempting to climb up with her claws. She seemed to disregard her own safety as she wanted to fulfill her own master's wishes.</div>

If someone didn't know better, they might be inclined to think they saw an arch-demon march. Baharius, thanks to his super-strength and Nissa's draining strike, was able to drag himself to the Ent's head even with the Ent's hand still wrapped around him. He was a walking blaze, as the burn wounds got even more severe (C-grade by now) due to them burning deep into the underlying flesh to the point he even lost some feeling due to it burning through the underlying nerves. However, in turn, his attack at the Ent's head wasn't just a sword, but all the fire he dragged along with him burned into the Ent's head as he slashed through the tree's eyes. Only then did he manage to break free and indeed collapsed onto the ground. He probably would need to try using his last energy to roll and tumble get the last few flames out that were licking away at his flesh. <br>
<br>
Cayde didn't get off scoff free either. He managed to turn away fast enough to be flattened, but he could still feel a branch from the Ent's hand scratch across his back, leaving a deep and nasty cut (E-grade) from top to bottom. <br>
<br>
Scylla suddenly snapped back and realised what had occurred to Clarice, but managed to keep herself together well enough to know what to focus on and instead asked to be helped in geteting rid of the thorns.<br>
<br>
Nissa, meanwhile, decided to attack again as well. Her decision to jump on top the Ent meant that some of the flames burned her skin (E-Grade burns) as the flames were spreading faster through the Ent than it could extinguish them. Her draining strike aided Baharius in fighting the Ent's grip, but her regular attacks didn't do anything considerable to the Ent. <br>
<br>
Kesh managed to heal some of the wounds on Baharius, managing to get the cuts and bruises as well as some of the lesser burn wounds on his arm (although the major ones would remain). Kesh too, however, would receive considerable burn wounds (E-Grade) as well upon climbing across the Ent to look for a fruit that didn't exist. <br>

With Nissa and Kesh still upon him, the dying Ent desperately tried to summon his force to go out with a last bang, to get this vermin desecrating his body before he'd even perished, but he was fresh out of options. Except... realising he was going to die anyhow, he figured he might as well try to burn those upon him along with him. With his last strength, he summoned all his vines towards him, trying to restrict Nissa and Kesh into the burning pile that was his corpse. Although he persisted soon after, Nissa and Kesh would have to figure out how to get out of the blazing Ent's remains as soon as possible whilst burning vines had been pulled up all around them to block them as best as possible from getting away from his burning corpse.<br>

Kalina witnessed the Ent parish, but was shocked to see Kesh and Nissa climb onto him. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Get away from there!”</b></span> She yelled, trying to figure out how she could help them... She gritted her teeth. They really needed a lot of water, but they didn't have any. The best she could do was to risk her own well-being, it seemed, so she did just that. Rushing at the Ent, she made her way through the blaze and tried to hack away vines to give Kesh and Nissa an easier time breaking free. As the flames licked at her skin, she didn't even notice the pain and wounds were eating away at her Alternate Identity and that she accidentally ended up dropping it in the process.<br>

<span style="color: #800000"><b>“Over here!”</b></span> She called out at Kesh and Nissa, upon having managed to open up a way through the vines. She was fairly burned herself as well, by now, (E-grade burn wounds). It looked like nobody was going to get out of this unscathed.<br>

Abha was finally starting to regenerate a little, as her back started to slowly recover from the many thorns that had riddled it. She was still bleeding a fair bit, but she'd recover. A little woozy, she looked around and checked herself realising that'd be the worst of it. The rest wasn't as well-off. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“Oh....”</b></span> She mumbled. Worst off was Scylla, directly in front of her. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“Alright. I'll try.”</b></span> Abha said. She couldn't use healing magic, but she could try to get those thorns out. She didn't really have any great tools though, so in the end... the best she could find was a fork. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“I'm sorry in advance...”</b></span> She said, taking a piece cloth that'd been torn off from her clothes and handing it to Scylla. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“Bit down on this.”</b></span> The girl would need it, as Abha set to work. She quickly used a torch across the handle of the fork as a make-shift way to sterilise and then stuck it into the wound in Scylla's leg. As one might expect, that action hurt a lot. The hot fork did manage to sear shut a bit of the wound, but not before the bunny, with surprisingly [Steady Hands] managed to wiggle out the thorn. She managed to repeat the procedure with the second wound. She then proceeded to tear off some more of her clothes to use as make-shift bandages. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“If this can't stop the bleeding, you'll have to try using your fire magic to try sear it shut.”</b></span> It wasn't ideal, but that'd be their second-best option. For now, Scylla's bleeding hat stopped and she'd stay conscious, although the wounds caused her considerable pain.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, the other <span style="color: #00FA9A">Scylla</span> was having a lot of fun. <span style="color: #00FA9A"><b>“Hahaha! Burn you big bastard!”</b></span> She laughed at the corpse of the burning Ent. <span style="color: #00FA9A"><b>“I thought that rabbit would be the one to finally slay you, but here you get burned by these folk! May you rest in hell!”</b></span> For as odd and unsociable as <span style="color: #00FA9A">Scylla</span> was, she was nice enough to check out on those that made it possible. <span style="color: #00FA9A"><b>“That's a nasty gash, mate.”</b></span> She said to Cayde, spotting the cut on his back. <span style="color: #00FA9A"><b>“It'll fix itself though, if you keep it clean. Oh, for all of the crispy ones, there's a fair bit of Frog's Fountain growing over there. It'll sooth the burns quite well.”</b></span> She told the Alchemist, assuming he'd know what she was talking about (he would). <span style="color: #00FA9A"><b>“I'm sorry for misunderstanding, by the way~ I totally thought you were going to ritualistically sacrifice the bunny when you nearly killed her and I really hoped she'd lay this fucker to rest, but I guess I was wrong!”</b></span> Unless Cayde (or anyone else) would stop her, she'd head towards the fallen Nixie and put the dying creature in her pocket, turning back around to yell <span style="color: #00FA9A"><b>“Bye~”</b></span> at them, before vanishing into the swamp again.<br>
<br>
<i><span style="color: red">OOC:</span> Combat is over. Actions are no longer limited, movement is free (except for those wishing to move out of the scene altogether, that'd be too far in a single post). This round will be spent on giving everyone a chance to patch up and recollect themselves, as well as for Kesh and Nissa to get out the fire. Unless more drama ensure between the PC's, we'll have a few (perhaps two) more rounds afterwards to wrap things up with the final reveal of this RP.</i></div>

 (Nissa)</b>​</div><br>
Still feeling several embers and flames upon him, Baharius proceeded to quickly roll through the damp mud that acted as a cooling dampener to cover his scorched hide from the utter agony racking through him. He could hardly hold his grueling concentration, let alone his sanity, growling and snarling to keep his mind occupied and in control. His eyes - rendered bloodshot and tearing up feverishly - could hardly see through his blurry surroundings, and his ears rang constantly with a droning that would make any person go mad if it was to persist for even an hour. Every movement; every twitch of his muscles; even the very act of breathing, became a significantly laborious task. Only a few places on the saurian's body, the nerves being so badly burnt that they were, would be numb to any sort of feeling at all. He had certainly been through hell; hell that was of his conscious making.<br>
<br>
He did not regret it.<br>
<br>
While the ent burned in the distance, Baharius rolled back onto his belly and gave a sigh of relief. A toothy smile emerged from his swollen lips. The fight was exhilarating. The general hadn't felt this animated since his younger primer days, leaping and slashing away like the legendary raptor packs back home. Had it not been for Abha's buff, this fight would've most certainly have gone a whole lot differently. The hulking saurian was already strong in his own right, but this was just the boost needed to ensure victory and reclaim his lost honor as a truly mighty force to behold. He'll surely gain a few new additional scars, no doubt some burn marks staying permanent even once he gets fully healed, but each told a story... a story of many things. Some spoke the marks of strength, some of courage and perseverance, and some bore of loss. But these wounds, like most upon Baharius' war-torn body, would be known as true marks of triumph.<br>
<br>
 And he couldn't have done it without the help of everyone within this party, despite their rocky beginnings.<br>
<br>
As Baharius continued laying in the mud, his glance would fall within Cayde's direction, where he'd see the familiar visage of Scylla conversing with the alchemist. Though the fact that she seemed unscathed and more chipper than usual in this moment immediately told the general that this had to have been the imposter. He could barely hear their conversation, but their movements and muffled tones seemed to indicate that she was not here to cause trouble. He was catch something about a "Frog Fountain" that could heal their burns. He'd especially love that. But just as the figure was about to leave the premises, the saurian rose his body with his wobbling arms in her direction. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"WAIT!"</span></b> the saurian bellowed, nearly losing his balance. Regaining his composure, his struggled gaze shifted straight at the imposter witch and asked, <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"><b>"Just... Just who are you?"</b></span><br>
<br>
Upon gaining this closure, his arms would give out and he'd collapse to the ground with a thud.<br>
<br>
Just then a familiar rat-kin would once again come to the general's aid. While he was too weak to raise his head considerably for the moment, Kesh's voice was unmistakable. An audible groaned chuckle beckoned from Baharius throat, as he welcomed her presence. <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"><b>"Ah... Kesh."</b></span> the saurian groaned weakly with a smile, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"You don't need to..."</span></b>. He tried to pull himself up with his scarred arms once again - riddled with burns and cuts - before falling again. This would be the second time she would heal him, and while it wasn't strong enough to heal his burns, the saurian would feel the lashes and minor burns on his arm begin to heal and soothe with a soothing sensation. A smidge of energy would also begin bubbling in his arms. She had done already so much for him, as Baharius nearly found himself hating her unrelenting kindness. Nonetheless, Kesh told the beast her brief reasoning and gave a thumbs up; a sentiment approved similarly by the generals own thumbs up.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Please... you must rest too..."</span></b> the saurian asked the rat-kin, still concerned for her overall health and safety. But before he would have a chance to finish, she rushed off to continue her duties - rushing towards Cayde in ecstatic joy. Their reunion would be short-lived, as he then saw the ratkin rushing back to the burning ent to retrieve one of its fruits. Baharius' heart sank, his eyes widening as he tried unsuccessfully to reclaim his strength. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"No! Kesh!"</span></b> he bellowed helplessly, before slumping back on the ground. Both Kesh and Nissa - being still atop the blazing tree beast - would be victim to one last-ditch effort by the dastardly foe to restrict both of them to burn with him. Yet it would be Chandra who, in the nick of time, would attempt to save the two from becoming casualties of the flame. As his vision began slowly returning to normal, he swore that the mysterious' woman was beginning to change form... dawning an appearance unbeknownst to him<br>
<br>
The saurian general could only hold his breath for their safety.</div>

<span style="font-size: 15px">Nissa felt the fire leave burns on her skin, grincing in pain as she could tell the fight was almost at its end. What she didn't expect was the Ent doing his last-ditch effort. As the vines wrapped around her as she heard the familiar voice of Kate from the other side of the flames. She started to hack away at the vines before the woman arrived and cut a path by herself through the flames. <span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"You look different now Kate," </span>Nissa replied as she didn't linger too much on it. Once Nissa was free she quickly moved away from the fire before she could get stuck in the flames. <br>
<br>
<i><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Tch saved by that women, well but that change in looks is strange a disguise I suppose? </span></i><span style="color: null">She thought to herself looking down at the burns that were on her skin. She moved behind a some cover that wasn't on fire before setting the pack down on the ground. Pulling out one of the jars of blood, she opened the top, no doubt those with a sense of smell would be able to smell blood, though she wasn't sure if the smell of burnt flesh would mask it. <br>
<br>
Opening the jar she downed one of the jars knowing that that blood would heal her wounds over time, though she didn't want to let the wounds fester. Though she was already undead but, she didn't like open wounds. It was a clear give away if she didn't want to give them more things than she already had. </span><br>

<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Wait..”</span> She hesitated, as the bunny lady pulled out a fork, but quickly took the rag and with trembling hands bit down, the witch nodded, before a series of high pitched shrieks exploded from her muffled mouth. Resisting the tendency to recoil and squirm, which only made the pain worse. However, there was no other way but to go through the excutiating pain. The bunny paladin Abha, was very quick in her hand movements, and very precise which she silently appreciated in between her screaming.<br>
<br>
After the first wound was done, the procedure would continue on for the second one at her side.<br>
<br>
Once it was over, she was no longer into the idea of going through any more pain. Panting, weak and exhausted, her gaze rested upon Abha,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “T-thank you.. Abha.. please dont let me take you.. the others might need you..”</span> once she felt a bit more able, she wouldn’t dare push her luck further too rashly and slowly made her way to Clarice.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Clarice? Can you hear me?” </span>She asked, poking her shoulder, albeit with bloody hands.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “I dont know how much my minor healing spell could help.. but i’ll do so anyway..”</span> A bit delirious, she’d place her hand on Clarice’s forehead, casting a healing spell. <i>[Mending Stream]</i><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“I’m going to find help..”</span> getting up she winced, her wounds were still fresh but now with the thorny shards out, it wasn’t as excutiating and no longer losing her vitals. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“..uhm.. just wait right there.”</span><br>
<br>
She managed to get closer to the others, her eyes with astonishment at the sight of the fallen Ent. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Y-you guys did it!”</span> She exclaimed, albeit weakly. But quickly she realized they were in quite the bit of trouble, as Kesh and Nissa were now within the clutches of the treefolks snare. She would move as quickly as she could, limping a bit. But not before Chandra ripped through the debris and got to them as best she could, suffering from fiery afflictions herself.<br>
<br>
She was about to call out, when the sight of someone who wasn’t Chandra revealed herself. Nonetheless, she got closer, casting<i> [Mending Stream]</i> on each of them, making her rounds to the injured party. When she got to Nissa, she felt a little weird, as the witch probably reeked of blood and well, vampires at least the ones she read about became uneasy around it.<br>
<br>
Then coming around to Kalina, she froze for a moment, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"So.. clearly.. if you're not Kate, w-who are you then?" </span>She hesitated but casted her healing on her as well, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"..and how do I know this if this is the real Kate?"</span><br>
<br>

As he watched the ent combust in the distance, Cayde felt the adrenaline rush of a well-fought victory course through his veins. They did it! They'd finally defeated the ent! With a smile, he inched forwards, already forming a list of what to do next: check up on the others, question the fake 'Scylla,' and get rid of this terrible itching on his back. <b><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Something probably bit me,"</span> </i></b>He thought dismissively, reaching back to prod at the supposed bug bite. When his hand came back into view, slick in a sticky, scarlet substance, Cayde realized it wasn't just an insect that got him. Red, searing hot talons of agony tore at his nerves in confirmation, and his legs wobbled uncontrollably. His lips tried to form the word <i>help</i>, but his knees had already buckled, and soon enough, the alchemist collapsed.<br>
<br>
Cayde heard '<i>Scylla'</i> say something beside him, but he was too busy controlling his breathing to reply. Although he found their chipperness not so infectious, the knowledge of <i>Frog's Fountain </i>growing nearby eased him just a bit. He could use that, especially if there were <i>crispy</i> ones. Unfortunately, the impostor was long gone before he could give pained <i>thanks</i>, so he slowly rolled onto his side, attempting to witness the full damage done to his team. The act alone had already sent jolts of pain soaring through his body - the sight made his heart drop.<br>
<br>
Baharius looked like a complete mess, riddled with burns and cuts all over his body. Scylla was just as cut up, though much to Cayde's relief, she wasn't covered with burns. In the distance, he could see that Abha appeared relatively okay, but Clarice was out cold. He'd seen Nissa run off somewhere, but there was no sign of Kate, only a vaguely familiar form silhouetted against the flames. Kesh was nowhere to be seen either.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b><i>"She's just invisible somewhere," </i></b></span>Cayde assured himself, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b><i>"Just get up." </i></b></span>He tried and failed, his back searing in protest. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"<i>Just. Get. Up." </i></b></span>He'd heard Kesh's voice just a few minutes ago; she couldn't have gotten far. He swore the ent hadn't seen her, but she'd yelled about <i>fruit </i>earlier, which could only mean she - <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b><i>"Getupgetupgetupgetupgetup-"</i> </b></span><br>
<br>
Miraculously, he did. Whether it was because of another burst of adrenaline or the effects of Scylla's healing hadn't dawned on him, but Cayde was already at the nearest <i>Frog Foutain </i>plant, gathering as much as he could <b>[Harvest]</b>. He rushed over to Baharius first, produced another flask of his painkiller, and mixed the slimy liquid with a good helping of powdered aloe vera in another. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"You've taken way more than your fair share of hits for us, Baharius," </b></span>He smeared the soothing concoction on the saurial's most severe wounds and handed over the nerve-numbing medicine, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Just please take it easy, okay?" </b></span><br>
<br>
Time was of the essence, so Cayde hurried up to Scylla, another flask of his medicine in hand. His face was already contorted in horror, and seeing the blood staining her hands sent more chills down his spine. Still, he urgently pushed the painkiller into her hand, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Scylla! That'll help with the pain," </span></b>A remorseful sigh left his haggard face, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"I should've never left you guys back there! Now you're all cut, and Clarice is..." </b></span>His words trailed off as his gaze lingered on Clarice's unconscious form. There was no point in barraging Scylla with sorrow and apologies - those wouldn't revive her companion. And neither would it get him closer to finding his. Cayde looked back to Scylla, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Clarice is going to be okay, I promise. I just need to take a look at her!" </b></span><br>
<br>
Brushing past her, Cayde rushed over to Clarice's side. His finger went to her neck, and despite her grievous wounds, he felt the faint semblance of a pulse. But, sadly, that was the only relief he'd be able to get. The cuts and thorns adorning her were far too severe for his mundane potions to treat. That still hadn't deterred him, however. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Abha, come here!" </span></b>He called out, rummaging through his pack to craft a substitute for smelling salts as well as two more bottles of painkillers, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Hold this under her nose, and when she wakes, <i>don't</i> let her move. Give her some painkillers when she wakes, and take some yourself." </span></b>He did his best to stem any bleeding and bandage whatever wound he could, but Cayde knew it wouldn't be up to him to decide Clarice's fate. <br>
<br>
Finally, he jogged up near the stranger, but their similarities to Kate hadn't stopped him from gazing despondently into the roaring flames ahead. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Have you seen Kesh?" </b></span>He pleaded, not even realizing his hands were gripping his head, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Oh, God, please tell me she's not in there. Please, please, please, <i>please..." </i></b></span>His knees felt wobbly again, and his heart threatened to beat out of his chest. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"KESH! Please! For the love of God, get out of there!"</b></span><br>

Kesh would grit her teeth as she cried painfully as she was burned while being constricted, her fur was singed away and burned through Cayde's jacket as the Ratkin had to retreat, looking defeated as this wanted this nonexistent fruit. She could hear Nissa nearby but ignored her as she was rude and she didn't like rude people. Although a new figure appeared, coming for her wearing a strange new attire while wearing a hat. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">What the heck is that!? </span></b>" Kesh yelled through the pain while trying to point at Kalina. She raised a weapon and Kesh's eyes widen just before she tightened them shut, she would feel some sort of movement and the screams of telling her to move and get out. <br>
<br>
Kesh quickly used her claws to slash whatever vines were wrapped around her left and moved out of the vines as she tried moving to escape the Ent. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">The fruit...! I want the fruit-crop! Master Clyde wants it! I'll offer you myself!</span></b> " Kesh called. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Or that Clara!</span></b> " Kesh stumbled out of the fire and fell onto her hands and knees, her body smoldering with burns. Kesh looked up, her entire body was burned, Cayde's jacket was destroyed as Kesh tried to get up, looking at Kalina who had now revealed herself. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Wait. You're that one weird girl...! I knew you were a liar! </span></b>" Kesh smiled weakly as she fell forward and rolled onto her back, hissing in pain as she closed her eyes. Tears rolled down her cheeks as the pain began to settle in. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Skitterer! Please end this pain-hurt! </span></b>" Kesh'd entire body was covered and wrapped in burns, her face luckily wasn't touched but the rest of her body was. It was so bad that she couldnt move as her tears streamed down her cheeks. And with the swamp water around it could lead to infection. Kesh looked up at Kalina " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">help me! Help me heal myself! I don't want Master Clyde seeing me like this. </span></b>" Kesh pleaded to the vampire desperately and a bit pathetically.<br>
<br>
Kesh was still new to this adventuring thing, she hadn't experienced pain like this before.</div>

Just as <span style="color: #00FA9A">Scylla</span> was about to leave, she heard Baharius call after her. <span style="color: #00FA9A"><b>“Who? I'm Stella, of course~”</b></span> She answered, after which she stuck her tongue out and jogged off as intended. With everyone wounded and not really paying too much attention to her otherwise, she'd be able to get away without too much trouble and nobody seemed to care she'd pocketed the near-dead Nixie either. All in all, it was quite a good day for her, as she left the scene humming a little tune. <br>
<br>
Nissa, having considerably less strength than Kalina, would be able to hack away the vines, but were she to try escape before she'd end up burning too much, she'd best cooperate and take the already cut-away route. Either way, she ended up being able to get out of the blaze with considerable burns, of which the blood only healed the more superficial (F-Grade) wounds. Some more severe (D-grade if going by what Kalina cut out, C-grade if trying it alone) burns would remain, covering most of her body. <br>
<br>

Kalina herself, being a lot more sturdy and having been in the fire for less long, managed to get off with (E-Grade) nasty burn-wounds, but nothing too severe. She was tired and hurt, but now that she realised her disguise had failed her, she also realised she could at least stop the act altogether. There was no need to act like she was in any way scared or angered by Nissa's existence. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“It was getting a little hot, so I figured a change of looks was in order.”</b></span> She'd reply to her fellow vampire.<br>

After the emergency operation on Scylla, Abha's hands started to shake a little. She'd kept them very stable up until that point, but right now she gave a big sigh of relief. She'd not really been trained for these acts, after all. That said, she wasn't sure how to help or who to help next. Instead, she figured she'd just try to support Scylla, hoisting Scylla's arm over her shoulder so she could support the witch as she went around to use healing magic on everyone.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="font-size: 18px"><span style="color: #800000">Kalina Chivernu</span><br>

When Scylla stopped in front of Kalina, she wasn't quite sure how to react. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“I'm still just Kate, I only look different. Don't worry, focus on saving Kesh.”</b></span> She said, as she pointed to the Ratkin she'd dragged out of the flames along with Nissa only moments ago. If anything, helping the panicking Ratkin out of the fire had probably caused Kalina herself the most burns, but now that she was looking at Kesh, she felt oddly bad for her. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Just hold still for a bit, alright, we'll have you patched up in no-time.”</b></span> She said. She'd grab Kesh's hand or cover her up, but with all the burn-wounds being in the way, it was best not to do so. After all, with Kesh's already more fragile state (G vitality), she'd suffered the worst from these flames, being left with (B-Grade) burns all over her and having lost the feeling in multiple places, whilst others only hurt all the more. She indeed couldn't move as a result, but laying still was probably the smartest move right now regardless. The only thing Kalina could do was gently pet Kesh' head, the only thing that wasn't covered in blisters and burns.<br>
<br>
Cayde had his work cut-out for him. Harvesting the Frog's Fountain, as it was indeed where <span style="color: #00FA9A">Scylla</span> had pointed him towards. There was easily enough of it to cover everyone, although he might need to make a few trips, especially considering Baharius' size. That said, Cayde's medicine and Scylla's healing did wonders. They couldn't cure the muscle ache and tiredness that most would feel by now, but working together, they healed up the burns well enough to no longer be threatening to their well-being. <br>

Abha, who'd been following along with Scylla, didn't have to come from far upon Cayde's call. She did as instructed by the alchemist, although she didn't take any medicine herself. Instead, she used one paw to hold the smelling salts under Clarice's nose whilst she held the girl down with the other, in case Clarice would otherwise jerk up upon awakening. It'd be enough to get Clarice conscious again, upon which Abha would immediately speak. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“Stay down for now, you're in a rough shape.

Kalina only had to point besides her, as the panicked Alchemist was still staring into the flames. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“I managed to get her out, but she's not in a good shape.”</b></span> That said, with Cayde's medicine and Scylla's healing, even Kesh would mostly recover. She'd still be in some pain yet feel numb where the burns had severed some nerves, predominantly her left leg and the right side of her waist, but if she was careful, she'd be able to get up again. It wouldn't be pretty, but in time, things would be able to heal up fully, if she didn't do anything careless.<br>
<br>
Just as everyone was managing to gather themselves again, at least to some degree, they'd suddenly spot yet another creature of the swamp. She was standing directly in front of the burning Ent, yet try as they might, they hadn't seen her her walk up to there. She just suddenly 'was' there. To make matters worse, there was something about her presence that made it difficult to even move or talk.<br>

As she looked at the Ent's corpse, she raised her staff. She spoke in a language that none of them was able to comprehend fully, although parts of it were similar enough to infernal for Clarice to get at least a few words. <span style="color: #556B2F"><b>“...deal made... body …  price paid … ”</b></span> It sounded a lot like the stereotypical hag deal.<br>
<br>
Upon finishing the words, the fire on the Ent's body died down immediately, yet equally quickly did the Ent's body further rot and wither. In its stead, however, a plethora of herbs and flowers grew. Before the rest could act, the hag walked up and picked a few of them, all plants that would be unknown to even Cayde. Satisfied with only a portion, she'd turned to face the rest. <span style="color: #556B2F"><b>“I have no need of the rest.”</b></span> She declared. Both Scylla and Clarice for their academy as well as Cayde and Kesh would be satisfied by what was left, as there was more than enough rare flora of value to them. They'd just need to figure out how to split it all. (Notably missing was an Ent's Fruit, however, that one had indeed been a lie all along.)<br>
<br>
Just as it looked like the Hag would vanish as quickly as she'd appeared, Abha found the strength to call out to her. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“The Ent's roots... please tell me who took them and cursed my city!”</b></span><br>
<br>
The hag only squinted her eyes at first, but suddenly gave a toothy smile and replied. <span style="color: #556B2F"><b>“Look for a cardinal in the Paizu mountains. He'll have your answers.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
Feeling a little encouraged, Kalina decided to speak up as well. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Please, tell me, how did I come to be this way?”</b></span><br>
<br>
 One again, the hag squinted her eyes. <span style="color: #556B2F"><b>“Find the Countess of the Dead in the north of this continent, or the Hunters of your kind in the south of the other. They'll hold the keys to your past and future.”</b></span><br>
<br>
The Hag looked at the rest. <span style="color: #556B2F"><b>“I tire of this. I shall grant you one more answer for having made it this far, but after that I'll demand a deal in return.”</b></span></div>

 (Nissa)</b><br>​</div>With the combined healing efforts of both Cayde and Scylla respectively, Baharius' burns would once again begin to subside to a far more bearable state. It wasn't enough to fully heal him from his pre-battle state, but it was more than enough for the general to start moving and breathing normally again. He'll have to find additional treatment at the village to fully patch himself up; save for a few torched scars perhaps. He nodded to the both of them graciously, albeit silently. They've already done so much for him and the entire team for him to verbally repeat his thanks for them. Besides, he was already exhausted from this entire ordeal... and he was very much ready to leave this cursed place.<br>
<br>
Prior to his departure, the saurian general would see Chandra - or Kalina/Kate whatever her true name was - emerge from the burning tree-corpse to retrieve both the ratkin and vampire. Both had been considerably burnt, but Kesh no doubt suffered the worst of it. It was horrible. Every part of her body was smoldering and charred, save only for her precious head, to the point where she couldn't even move. It looked to be even worse then what Baharius had suffered, and he was right in the thick of it during the battle. Why did she do it? It was without a doubt a foolish errand to try and enter a flaming wreck to retrieve a false fruit... but he knew her intentions were in the right place. Was it ignorant? Yes. Was it selfish? ...No. No it didn't seem like it. The expressions were all real. A mix of hope, eagerness, fear, and pain... and given all that she had done for not only him but everyone else here.<br>
<br>
He suddenly felt a single tear drip down the scarred side of his scaly face...  followed by a solemn guttural groan.<br>
<br>
When Kesh was presented to her master, Baharius planted his large hand upon the alchemist's shoulder. <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"><b>"Her intentions..."</b></span> the beast hesitated briefly, blinking away another round of <s>crocodile </s>tears, <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"><b>"Seemed to be in the right place."</b></span> He paused to glance at the bonfire beyond before glancing back. <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"She's a gem, that one."</span></b> he finally said again, more sincerely, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"As wild and unpredictable as she can be, I've met very few who're as devoted and pure-hearted like herself. Your bond with her... is quite special. Treasure it. Teach her all that you know. Given time, her experiences will make her a true character; more so then she already is. This... I can assure you."</span></b><br>
<br>
With a pat on Cayde's shoulder, Baharius turns to glance at the rest of the party nearby.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"It has been an honor fighting alongside everyone here."</span></b> he called to everyone in an honest tone, <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"While we certainly had our issues, we were able to make it through his cursed ordeal alive and in one piece. You've all fought valiantly and courageously. I hope everyone here has safe travels... and may we, or may not for some, see each other again."</span></b><br>
<br>
The very first thing Baharius was going do once he gets out of the cursed marshes, perhaps out of the entire Dark Continent itself, was to take some much needed rest and time for himself. His mind lingered on the idea of heading to a spa, a place to cover himself with healing mud as he'd bask in the sun, having not a care for the world for a good couple of hours. He felt like he earned this much before he'd go on his next adventure...<br>
<br>
But before the general  would have the chance to leave right at that moment... a craggily figure silently emerged from the fog to observe the flaming ent. Baharius turned to look, a curious eye creeping over him.<br>
<br>
There she was. The real hag of the Cursed Marshes. Alive and in the flesh.<br>
<br>
Her appearance was wholly unexpected, looking far different compared to the imposter hag they've met in the beginning, but otherwise befitting the image. And to top it all off, she had answers, or the very least the directions to said answers. But she only had room for three... with two already accounted for.<br>
<br>
It was now or never.<br>
<br>
Baharius, glaring at her intently, seized the initiative.<br>

It'd been minutes, and Cayde still hadn't seen Kesh emerge from the fire. He could feel his fingernails digging into his scalp as his eyes frantically searched for the slightest image of her. Cayde didn't understand: Did she get stuck? Did he need to get her himself? Did she get hurt? Kate brought the answer soon enough, and the tears came immediately. He didn't even know if calling the person lying before him his apprentice was possible. Only the head belonged to Kesh. The rest was utterly devastated.<br>
<br>
Even the reassuring hand of Baharius did little to snap him out of it. Cayde had tried so hard to nod at the saurial's sentiments, but how could he? Kesh would've never gotten like this if he had kept her close, away from the temptation of the fruit, away from that ent, and away from that conviction that she needed to impress <i>him. </i>She didn't need to earn his admiration - the fact she'd been by his side through thick and thin was all he ever needed. And it would continue to be. He'd make sure of it.<br>
<br>
Rubbing the tears out of his eyes, Cayde slowly moved over to Kesh and inspected her burns, wincing at the charring flesh. He'd never seen such shocking wounds; not even Baharius' injuries were so grim. But, just like treating the giant lizardman, he'd be able to do <i>something </i>for Kesh too. Preparing some cloth-made bandages, a painkiller, and a generous amount of his <i>Frog's Fountain</i> mixture, Cayde began. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Y'know, Baharius, that was spoken like a true leader," </b></span>He sniffled, covering some wounds here and slathering some medicine there, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"You're right. Kesh might be unpredictable and might be a little crazy too, but she's <i>my</i> apprentice. I'm far from leader material, but I can promise you, with every fiber of my being, I'll make her one of the greatest alchemists you'll ever see. That's the least I could do to thank you." </b></span><br>
<br>
He quickly turned to exchange a thankful nod with everyone in the group, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"As for everyone else, I also give my deepest thanks. I know we all had our ups and downs, <i>me especially,</i> but despite all that, we all pulled through. I don't know if I'll ever see some of you again, but I hope we don't try to kill each other again, yeah?" </span></b>He applied the last bandage with a slight chuckle, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Seriously, I'm gonna miss you guys." </b></span>That said, it was time to dish out the remainder of his medicine. Nissa and Kate looked to need some of his burn treatment, so he'd have to hand them over to those two. <br>
<br>
That is, if his body hadn't suddenly locked up. Or if the <i>real</i> Hag hadn't made her baleful appearance. Cayde noticed she'd brought gifts, shifting the smoldering carcass of the ent into a bounty of exotic herbs. However, as tempting as they were, the plants weren't the only thing that got his heart racing. Scylla and Clarice could take what they needed - ingredients were the last thing he came to this continent for. He was much more interested in listening to what the Hag had to say to Baharius' question.</div>

<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1665545864814-png.1030112/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/967/967242-cb1c386a8cbfae7ed1289952dbff9697.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1665545864814.png" title="1665545864814.png" width="100" height="114" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Kesh stared at this Kate as she patted her head, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">your hand is cold.</span></b> " Kesh stated, complaining a bit but also having this weird smile on her face like she was happy like she had figured something out. Kesh stared at the canopy of trees around them. She could see the towering figure of Baharius close by and she slowly turned her head to look at the large lizard, she heard his compliments as he talked to Cayde and she teared up, blinking rapidly to try and get rid of the tears. Those were nice words. She hasn't had many nice things said to her besides by Cayde really. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">I fought a god and helped beat it. I even jumped on his hand and small a ball!</span></b> " Kesh tried calling to Baharius, she had a smile on her face, a weird claim but she has never been one to lie so far. Kesh was pretty touched by the Saurian's words to say the least.<br>
<br>
Then Cayde appeared and Kesh looked away a bit ashamed in her actions that had lead to this. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Kesh is sorry that she climbed the tree.</span></b> " Kesh tried covering her almost naked body up but it was hard to do it while burned almost everywhere, she couldn't even move really. Kesh had a sad look on her face, she felt like the biggest idiot. She climbed that tree for Cayde, to present him with the fruit. But that ended up with her only hurt and burnt badly. She could hear Cayde's sniffles like he was crying which Kesh turned her head to look at him. He began to speak on how she was his apprentice and he wasn't the best leader but besides that he would help her become the best alchemist. Kesh smiled hearing the words. She tried rising up to her feet but wasn't able to with her hissing in pain. Although Cayde's medicine helped and worked. The Ratkin was able to become limber enough and numb to the pain to touch Cayde's hand. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Master Clyde. I'm sorry I messed up. I wanted that fruit for you. To make my master happy. He helped me and I want to help him.</span></b> " Kesh looked saddened and ashamed again. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">But I got hurt. Kesh is sorry and will improve. I want only Master Clyde as my master. </span></b>" The Ratkin even managed to hug the alchemist, despite her whimpers and cries of pain, she wrapped her arms around Cayde weakly before laying back down with a deep hiss.<br>
<br>
She looked to see the hag appear once more, Kesh turned her head to look at them, they looked different now! " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Old woman!</span></b> " Kesh said almost happily, while everyone was rude. Baharius asked his question just as Kesh was about to. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">No fair! I want to know if I can have the Ent fruit for master Clyde!</span></b> " Kesh called out to the hag. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Can i give Clara to have the fruit for Master Clyde?</span></b> " She ended asking while pointing at Clarice.</div>

<br>
Scylla nodded, when Kalina mentioned to help Kesh, she was much too traumatized at the moment to think clearly, much less begin to question and suspect about anyones identity.<br>
<br>
When noticing Kesh’s injuries, she couldn’t help but gasp a bit, the burns were quite severe, but she wouldn’t hesistate before casting her healing spell<i><b> [Mending Stream]</b></i> on her. It’d feel like a cool almost icy sensation that would begin from her touch and spread all across her body.<br>
<br>
When Cayde walked up to her, she smiled a bit through her pale face.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “It’s.. not as bad.. as it looks.” </span>She said, trying to hide the pain as she winced. Taking the medicine in her hand, she took it right away.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Oh, dont worry about it..”</span> She smiled weakly,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..the important thing is that you helped defeat that.. twisted tree monster. And we’re alive. Well.. barely.” </span><br>
<br>
Then, still supported by Abha, she started off towards Clarice. The bunny, upon being beckoned to assist did so, helping Cayde while the witch managed to get closer on her own while the bunny paladin helped.<br>
<br>
Supporting Clarice’s head on her lap, she brushed her hair a bit with her fingers.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Please, hang on Clarice..”</span> When she’d wake, she’d hold her as still as she could,<span style="color: #9365b8"> “..rise and shine.. Cayde has medicine, come on.. take it. I'll take no stubbornness from you.” </span><br>
<br>
Before Scylla could even chuckle, the Hag, out of seemingly nowhere appeared. The witch gulped, knowing full well they were in no place or condition to fend off yet another opponent, but to her pleasant surprise the old crone had delivered on her agreement.<br>
<br>
Scylla, a bit anxious, took the flowers a bit hastily from her cold hands. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"T-thank you.." </span>a bit taken aback by the sudden turn of events, but then a grateful smile overtook her weakened and pale complexion. While the others spoke among themselves and the hag suggested one more question, Scylla, in an attempt to likely comfort her dear colleague brought the prized herb to her face for Clarice to behold, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"See? Told you we would get what we wanted, wasn't I right?"</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 15px">Nissa looked at the woman for a moment, trying to see if she was serious or not. Letting out a sigh, she drank some more blood out of the jar. Nissa could tell the woman was just like her by a glance. After all, if you are a vampire you probably know how to tell if someone is a vampire at the very least. <span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Well then I suppose that new looks <i>fits </i>you better than your pervious one," </span>She smirked standing up and placing a hand on her hip. She knew that she was going to have to replenish her stock eventually, blood only stayed good for a certain amount of time. <br>
<br>
She watched as the woman walked over to the rat of all people and started to rub its head. <i><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Now that is particularly disgusting, that rat can barely think without drugs. Not to mention the manner in which it speaks is even more tragic. If I had my way simply putting the creature done would be the best option. </span></i><span style="color: null">Nissa thought to herself as she waited at the others were busy doing their own things. <br>
<br>
Looking around she watched as the Hag appeared again, and saw at the ent's body disappeared. </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)"><i>Still so many questions that I have about this place, had I come more prepared I might have stayed in this swamp for a bit longer. Maybe I could find something interesting here but I feel like I'm pushing my luck on that matter. </i></span>She thought to herself putting the blood away. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Since you are granting boons, would it be possible to restock my special supplies?" </span>She inquired waiting for the Hags response as the giant lizard now spoke as she waited for a response. Though she had no desire to run into many of these people again she found them weak and not willing to do what they had to do to survive. Though she kept that to herself. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">Now turning to Cayde she let out a small sigh, </span><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"I make no promises alchimst, though I would remind you to ask others before you act." </span>She replied as she was handed the medicine though she knew it was a waste on her and Kate. Ignoring the others she walked over to Kate whispering to keep her voice low. <span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"If you open the pack on my back you will find something that will help, try not to use it all at once," </span>She concluded. </span><br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Clarice responds poorly to Abha's ministrations.  She wakes, as intended, but she strains against Abha's paws.  So too does she attempt to right herself as Scylla holds her.  Her reasoning goes unstated, though it may have something to do with bacterial infections, the insalubrious environment, and, quite possibly, a general aversion to leeches.<br>
<br>
When Scylla leaves her side to gather herbs, Clarice struggles to her feet.  She stands, haggard and broken, surveying the party's condition.  Slowly, painfully, she discards her swamp water drenched tunic and steadies her breathing.  Although it hurts when she breathes, which isn't a good sign, gentle prodding, accompanied by a grimace and grit teeth, reveals her fractures are not compound.  Clarice understands that Scylla's magic likely staunched any internal bleeding resulting from her injuries, but her physical condition is terrible nonetheless.  Reviewing the extent of her injuries, and her ability to stand, Clarice determines this body will not die from these wounds, at least not immediately.  More worrying is the condition of the party as a whole.<br>
<br>
The failure of her party to work as a cohesive unit - the absolute chaos and dearth of strategy that colored their battle, their willingness to relinquish the advantages the terrain and party composition afforded and, quite literally, toss themselves onto funeral pyres, and their continued antagonism of each other - has earned them a failing grade in her book.  This isn't entirely unexpected; they were coerced into working together under the threat of death, after all, with no promises of pay and life-imperiling risks.  There wasn't even glory in their work, for what they accomplished would quickly be forgotten.  That they would be at each others' throats was a foregone conclusion.  That they were unable to correct this, to think rationally and use their combined strengths to survive their trails, is what troubles her.  She might not be able to complain openly, as she had little to contribute to the conflict, but at least she understood the importance of defending the fire-wielding mage when trying to burn things!<br>
<br>
The party's performance could be likened to Handel's Messiah, namely the song, "All We Like Sheep Have Gone Astray."  Everyone turned to his or her own way.  Ultimately, their battle plan amounted to "hit everything really, really hard."  It worked, but only because Abha had an ace up her sleeve.  An ace she hadn't told anyone about...<br>
<br>
No, their survival is the result of dumb luck, not pluck or guile or skill, and anyone who thinks otherwise should be chucked into the sea!<br>
<br>
With a sweeping motion [Telekinesis (F)] Clarice pulls a bundle of letters from her pack.  As she sorts through the stack, the others might notice that each letter is addressed to one of them.  She takes Kesh's letter and throws it into a fire.  Two of Cayde's letters follows.  Pointedly ignoring the hag (she has had enough of hags for one adventure) Clarice hobbles around distributing the letters.  She doesn't smile or feign any niceties.  She doesn't hide her distrust of these people or her desire to never work with most of them again.<br>
<br>
If Abha opens her letter, she will find a cryptic note regarding how the weretigers of Hermetic Order of the Twilit Wedjat effectively use their power and assurances of additional information if she visits Clarice within the next two months.<br>
<br>
Baharius, Nissa, and Chandra's letters discuss freelance work, at length, and note that, if they are amenable, other agents of Clarice's unnamed patron may reach out to them with job offers in the future.  Chandra's letter contains an extra segment in which Clarice suggests that some of this work may involve countering demonic incursions by disrupting cult operations.<br>
<br>
Scylla's bulky letter contains a pressed flower and the magical gem Clarice recovered earlier.  In a very informal tone, the text of this letter recounts how Clarice purchased the flower prior to their journey so Scylla wouldn't return to empty-handed.  Oddly, Scylla's letter also contains what Scylla might recognize as a key to a teleportation circle, though there is no indication of why she has provided it.<br>
<br>
Cayde's letter would have stated that Clarice cannot, in good faith, offer him a recommendation for the Ryken Academy and, perhaps, offered him something else, but Kesh just had to try to offer her to the hag.  Clarice withdraws her outstretched hand and the letter she grasps and glowers at the prone ratkin.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #e25041">If this creature was not so dear to you, Cayde, I would be obliged to kill her for her attempting to sell me to a hag.  As it stands, I shall simply withhold what I prepared for you, though I would be happy to divest her of her drugs if you'd like a more sober companion until she recovers enough to cook more.  Perhaps you could wean her off of them so she doesn't shoot trees in situations that call for stealthy approaches or leap into fires of her own volition.</span></div>

Baharius' question at the hag was met with a short moment of silence. It was a highly interesting questions, but it had some fatal flaws. Not only was it a yes or no question, it was also a little too specific. Was she responsible in orchestrating this even <i>from the very start</i>?  <span style="color: #556B2F"><b>“No.”</b></span> Her answer was simple. These events started when the Ent decided to leave The See and venture into the Dark Continent, where he'd allow himself to be corrupted in a search for power. She'd only been part of the events after he arrived, so not from the very start. She did take a little bit of pity on the creature, perhaps remnants of her Fae half, so she added just one more line. <span style="color: #556B2F"><b>“Yet these events were not beyond my estimations.”</b></span> She always crafted her deals carefully. She had answered the third question and had no more business with them. Nissa's and Kesh's questions went ignored as a result. Especially as, in the Hag's mind, she was merely sharing scraps, not granting boons. She took two steps away from the Ent's corpse, but just as she was about to take the third step, she was gone as suddenly as she'd arrived. No flashy show or needless words, just a quick trip to cash in on a deal and giving a few answers out of the 'kindness' of her heart. If they wanted to really make a deal with her, they'd likely have to make their way to the centre of the Swamp (which would need magic Affinity B to follow the right threads) to meet her there and prove they had something to offer her, as right now, her impression of them had inspired pity more than anything.<br>

Kalina was a bit caught off-guard when the rest suddenly started to get emotional, starting with Baharius. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Likewise.”</b></span> She hoped at least that, despite her latest 'change', she'd be included in the 'may we' and not the 'may not' part of the seeing each-other again. <br>
<br>
Cayde was a bit different. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“For what it's worth, I personally think you kept yourself together the best, most of the time we've been trying to work together here.”</b></span> She genuinely had started to like the alchemist a lot. Plain as he tasted. Who'd have thought there was something other than taste that'd draw her to someone? She politely declined the burn treatment. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Save it to use on Kesh again later. She'll need a second dose and I'll make do, for reasons you should know by now.”</b></span> Her regeneration would take care of the burn wounds soon enough.<br>
<br>
Kesh was a different case. The ratkin made her sigh. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Yes, the cold hand of a strange and suspicious lady. Although the fire I dragged you out of warmed it up a fair bit~”</b></span> If having been suspicious from the start made the Ratkin this happy, Kalina figure she might as well play along by now.<br>
<br>
Nissa was clearly onto her, but Kalina didn't quite care. She only laughed at the comment abou her new look. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Thanks, I'd been saving it for the right occasion~”</b></span> If felt like quite the relief to no longer have to act so darn serious all the time. However, Nissa's suggestion took her by surprise. She smiled as she whispered back, although she'd make extra sure to guide Nissa away from the sharp-eared rat. Even wounded and on the ground, she was weary of Kesh's ears. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Don't worry, I've had Cayde offer enough to have me last. I'll warn you though, he tastes plain as a raw potato.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
She was a bit surprised when Clarice suddenly handed out letters, despite looking half-past dead. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Thanks?”</b></span> She asked, a bit questioningly. She did have to agree on something. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“I'm not sure how her species is, but I have to agree with Clarice. You might want to get her to lay off on the drugs.”</b></span><br>

Abha was feeling conflicted. She was sent elsewhere yet again, in her quest at finding out what had happened to her city. Oddly enough, the Paizu Mountains weren't even that far from the Holy City of Vegard. Had she travelled all the way to this continent and lost some friends only to learn the answers were kept that close to her home? It was a bitter pill to swallow. On the other hand, there was a lead, even with the Ent himself dead. <br>
<br>
She too, replied to the others becoming more sentimental. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“Thank you all for helping me bring the Ent down.”</b></span> That creature's death was a big relief. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“Once my mission is finished, I'd gladly invite you all to come visit the order of Virtus in the Holy City of Vegard. Well, those that wouldn't have any troublesome things show up at the scanning orbs when they're checked by the bridge guards.”</b></span> She glossed over Nissa, Kalina and Kesh at the latter part, the three most likely of having [monster] or [criminal] titles show up.<br>
<br>
She pocketed her letter for later, figuring Clarice had written them because the nature of its content was private. <span style="color: #F08080"><b>“Thank you.”</b></span> She said, without even knowing what she was thanking her for yet, but assuming the girl hadn't wasted her time penning down insults. <br>
<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="font-size: 18px"><span style="color: PURPLE">Aftermath.</span></span></b>​</div><br>
Baharius stuck to his honour and managed to escort Abha out of the swamp, travelling to the village along with her. The rest was free to tag along if they so desired (especially as Clarice could need someone to support her on the way back and they all could use Scylla's ability to read the threads to get out of there without taking too many detours). Upon making their way back to the village, they were able to split up in their own directions. Abha would set course to the Paizu Mountains. Kalina wanted to take some time off to settle on what clue she'd go after. Clarice and Scylla would have some nice plants to bring back to the Academy. Cayde has some interesting new herbs to experiment with. Baharius would be off to find a place to relax and recover. However... one person didn't make it out of the swamp. Kesh, at some point, had vanished in the swamp, just before it looked as they had found the safety of the village. Try as they might, they wouldn't be able to locate her. <br>

Alright, Marshes was a great RP to be a part of, I felt like pacing was off a lot of the time and this could have been divided into separate rps along the way. Interactions was good and seeing characters at each other's throat was a pretty cool thing to see. Story was okay, at times it felt like, in my opinion, we weren't really getting anywhere but that did help with character interaction. The use of mapping was a huge help to everything and visualization. Thanks Elvario for allowing me in and using Kesh by the way. Now onto the rewards!<br>
