					<div class="bbWrapper">Hello and welcome, this thread is a part of the Isekai Hell community, if you are interested in joining, click on the OOC link above or join our discord. We look forward to meeting you!<br>
<br>
In the previous thread Thief's Wonderland <a href="https://www.rpnation.com/threads/isekai-hell-thiefs-wonderland.506213/page-2" class="link link--internal" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rpnation.com%2Fthreads%2Fisekai-hell-thiefs-wonderland.506213%2Fpage-2&amp;hash=7979f50e3d165a384911e1323b92dd56">Fantasy - [Isekai Hell] Thief's Wonderland</a> a plot of thievery has been told since the beginning, characters meet and form alliances, seeds of deceit have been planted. Untrust builds in a group. Many are after this stolen artifact known as The Seeing Stone. But a couple of mysteries remains, <b>why</b> does someone want this Stone? And <b>who</b> wants this Seeing Stone?<br>
<br>
In a city of crime, debauchery, and murder, a lot of organizations are after this stone, war and fighting has taken to the streets. Looking for this Stone to get a large prize out of it. But while there is murder in almost every alleyway, something beneath lingers. Something else is slowly making its way to the surface of this Underbelly. After this seeing stone. Strange sightings have been noticed or weirdly hooded men in black robes, caked in tattoos and symbols. Whatever it is, good luck on your travels, and beware The Twisted Underbelly.<br>
<br>
<b><i>Within the Underbelly there is lawlessness...</i></b><br>

Arthur Verg stared down his target, Clover, the thief cloaked in white. Having her mask up over her face holding her chain and kunai, her bag on her side was notable for Arthur, while he couldn't see her face features, he did memorize her clothing, bag, and weapon. The bandits were staying to the wall with their hands up, having one of their own dying on the ground in a mess of his own blood by some unknown strange weapon that made loud noises. " <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Rowan. Trap the thief. </span>" Arthur commanded.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1641080299733-png.960103/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/897/897233-fcf109f400f17486e59ed34d5493c1f7.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1641080299733.png" title="1641080299733.png" width="100" height="136" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
At this, the bandits behind the thief, teacher and Rudy attacked. One hit Rudy on his cheek with a cocked back fist, another attacked Francois, hitting the older man in the back with a entwined fist. Arthur knew of Francois, but did not bat a eye. His weapon had disappeared and Arthur's ghostly appendage glowed, the runes glowed a icy white. " <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Spirits of those dead. Serve me.</span> " He whispered <b>Summon: Acidic Spirits - F (1 Post cooldown.) </b>Strange formless Spirits appeared around Arthur, floating around him and whispering quietly in a formless and dead language. They leaked some sort of ectoplasm that dripped onto the ground below them that sizzled the surface.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/2390698-hsc00001-7-jpg.960119/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/897/897249-4c45ea33b39568b8413008d42c5d4b0c.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="2390698-HSC00001-7.jpg" title="2390698-HSC00001-7.jpg" width="100" height="130" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
Clover pulled her chain from Rudy as he was dealing with one of the bandits, she swung it in the air, twirling it. She then used the momentum and threw it at Arthur, Rowan and Baxtor. Arthur moved out of the way just as one of his spirits got caught into it and dissipated away. The other four then caught wind of this and floated towards the woman whispering.<br>
<br>
A couple of the bandits tried to run but a couple of the spirits ended up merging into their faces and absorbed into them. Acid began to melt their faces away as the bandits fell screaming and crying as their faces were no longer a thing, only skulls and flesh were. Eyes melted away as well. It was a terrible scene. But Arthur did not care.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/56eeca2d5af92cda32d78dc04792a8f6-jpg.960121/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/897/897251-78017636617d12de8a3e6e7290314eaf.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="56eeca2d5af92cda32d78dc04792a8f6.jpg" title="56eeca2d5af92cda32d78dc04792a8f6.jpg" width="100" height="142" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
Clover witnessed this and was pretty disgusted to say, she had not expected this. She pulled her chain back and caught the kunai. " <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Baxtor. What can you do to help?</span> " Arthur asked, while he didn't trust the man, they were on the same side and needed to get what was stolen back.<br>

Baxtor had enough of being treated like scum on earth and he was going to be damned angry if it happened again, His new ryken family noticed he was odd from the outset petty grievances repaid in full and the abnormal maturity for a child. They had excluded him from the inheritance because of these signs figuring it was another mischief by god. Baxtor didn't care he was at least on good terms with his family learning the Family swordplay, as Baxtor sidestepped the chain, then scoffed at Arthur's comment while drawing his sword. Baxtor would rather fight the bandits then the thief's party, getting into stance he angle toward a bandit on the outside while pulling back his shortsword "Let frost begin! Glacial Stab!" Baxtor invoked the only skill he had aiming for the bandit's body.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Rowan took it all in with surprising amount of grace- the quick finding of the thief, the arrival of a new member of their party, the excess amount of bandits. She had known from the beginning that taking this job would be more than what she was used to. It was a crash course mixed with intense field experience- and she sure was getting a lot of it. Why a thief decided to wear all-white in a place like this was beyond Rowan- unless it was for branding purposes. Though white was a terrible color for branding. Made you stand out, made you look like a highly robbable priest or something, or like a rich person who stumbled into the wrong place at the wrong time. <br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"><br>
"We are in the middle of battle, but hopefully we'll be able to introduce ourselves later."</span> Rowan replied to  Baxtor quickly, telling him in her own way that she wasn't ignoring him- there was just a fight going on and they had to survive that first before getting through pleasantries like names. She could network with him later. She was used to being relatively polite to others upon first meeting- unless they were disgusting pigs like Setzen. Then, she was allowed to be rude and aggressive, as weakness for someone like her would lead to  others gunning after her. Baxtor may have been inappropriately dressed for the occasion, but the noble's clothing he wore was better branding than almost anything else-although it did paint a large target on his back that she wasn't sure would be worth having. His choice, she supposed. <br>
<br>
Being with Arthur this whole time had seemed to give her the practice she needed- as she could feel managed flowing through her, allowing her to do more with her magic. Whatever happened, being around Arthur really was helping her develop her abilities. <br>
<br>
 The chain hurtled towards her, causing her to react quickly. She cast <b>Basic Barrier- Grade F-Multiple Post Cooldown</b>, using it to deflect the chain so it bounced harmlessly off her barrier instead of whacking her in the face. <br>
<br>
<br>
Well, Arthur had said to capture her- and capturing her seemed better than the alternative-melting a man's face off. IT made her uncomfortable- maybe it was the pot calling the kettle black for suffocating the bandits earlier, but making someone suffer like that, in pain...well at least the bandits lost consciousness after not being in too much pain. Her hands wove themselves in a net pattern as she cast <b>Net Barrier- D Grade-1 Post Cooldown</b> at the white-clothed thief. IF she was captured in it, she would be dropped to the floor as an aerated barrier weighed on top of her, pinning her to the ground while still allowing her to breathe. <br>
<br>
She focused on Clover, not sure what to do with the older man and the one who had held the thief's chain. They hadn't done anything to her yet, so didn't deserve to be attacked. Besides, she had to focus on defense- protecting Arthur, Baxtor, and herself were priority over fighting them. Their lives were more important than the stupid rock that everyone seemed to be salivating over. <br>
<br>
"<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">Please give him the stone. It's not worth dying over the stone. He won't hesitate to kill you."</span> Rowan asked the thief while point to Arthur,  using her kindest and most honest  voice possible in the situation. Bloodshed was likely in this scenario, but she had to try diplomacy. IF this woman or any of her companions came after her, she would retaliate with a vengeance. But in this scenario, she was trying to keep the murder to a minimum. It was unlikely that this would all end without any casualties, but she would be able to live with herself at the end of the day.</div>

Francois found himself in an incredibly volatile situation. The remains of the bandits on one side and the Academy's "hunters" on the other. He recognized the two boys but not the girl. He had not met them but the higher ups had told him to keep an eye on Arthur, and the Everfrost's boy was due for a meeting. The girl however was a little rough looking for an academy student though Francois certainly hadn't memorized everyone. A local perhaps? Hired help potentially. Francois' eyes narrowed, he had been seen with the thief while not that dire it would be troublesome should they consider him an accomplice to the theft. Though in a way he supposes he was. He didn't doubt that Arthur knew of him he seemed the clever sort. Though what he would do with this information was the question. <b>(Insight F)</b><br>
<br>
Pain interrupted his pondering. The pain was familiar but more intense than before. <span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">"Always the back..."</span></span> he mused as he calmly turned and broke the club still in his hands on the bandits head. The bandit had been surprised he had reacted with little more than a stumble, and while it had been quite painful Francois wasn't the type who broke poker face easily. The dangers were mounting, and were growing more exhilarating. He moved to finish off the bandit until one of Arthur's spirits got to the man. Francois watched as the man writhed and screamed as his flesh melted and fell off the bone. He smirked. Fascinating. He turned back to the Academy group. Watching them. Arthur coldly stared back at him as the bandits around died in the fighting, Mr.Everfrost was joining the fight with his families telltale magic as well. The girl with them did a maneuver with her hands most likely magic. Francois wondered if it would be directed at him, only for it to seemingly fall upon the thief some kind of trap meant to capture her though he could not see what held her other than an almost imperceptible shimmer.<br>
<br>
Francois narrowed his eyes. He sidled up to Rudolph. <span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">"The thief, she stole something from the Academy a rather prestigious school of magic and knowledge. These three are here to capture her and take back the item in question for her transgressions against them." </span></span>Francois quietly spoke this into Rudolphs ear. <span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">"You may continue to aid her, you are a rather loyal sort I can tell so you may feel you owe her. However, this would put you in contention with the Academy and the law of the city above. In addition you would have to get through these three and you'll find the man leading them is going to take offense to such a decision."</span></span> Francois eyes gained an intense glint to them as he placed his hand in a comforting gesture on Rudolphs shoulder. <span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">"Or, you could leave her to her fate this is the consequences of her actions after all. Technically speaking you don't owe her your life. You could seek asylum leave this dreadful place and return home. Your decision is your own, whatever you decide I will help. You deserve that much." <b>(Persuasion C) </b></span></span><span style="font-family: 'arial'">Francois stepped back content. The bandits were few in number and should the situation escalate further... He fingered the gun in his coat. Francois looked back to Arthur looking him directly in the eye, and smiled. </span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: 22px"><span style="font-family: 'Lora';"><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Dayle Keller</span></span></span>​</div><div style="max-width:100%; height:400px; padding:5px; overflow:auto; border: 1px solid;"><br>
Dayle ran along the streets of the underbelly with his four goons, unsure if the others had already beaten him to the punch. The people along the way gave him strange looks, but kept their gaze once they realized he was part of the more violent people of the Underbelly, even though he wasn't an Underbelly dweller. He sent out two of his men to scout ahead, and one of them came back to lead him to the other's current location. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">What's happenin down there?</span>" Dayle asked, sweat dripping from his brow. "<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">I don't know boss, I just immediately ran back after we found them. Zeke's stayin to get a better read so he could tell us the whole story after we get there.</span>" The goon leading him replied. As he ran, he took some time to marvel at the place, realizing how big the world truly is. Who would've thought that something like this would exist under Ryken? The slums were a given, sure, but a sprawling lawless undercity? Not in Dayle's biggest dreams. Though, this place wasn't exactly what he likes. It being lawless meant it was even more unforgiving than the slums above, and because he had no connections here, it was simply a giant maw that would eventually swallow Dayle if he's not careful. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">The hell is this place?</span>" One of his men shrugged "<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Beats me, boss.</span>" He wondered if he should extend his reach down under in the future, but pushed it to the back of his thoughts for now. Not that he has much influence anyways.<br>
<br>
Dayle arrived at the location, a mess of a marketplace, spotting Zeke standing behind stall about 50 feet away from the commotion. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Zeke!</span>" He called, and the man turned around to beckon them without making a sound. Dayle and the rest of his crew nodded and carefully made their way to Zeke. "<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Welcome back boss.</span>" Zeke greeted Dayle as his boss approached him. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">What's the situation?</span>" Dayle asked, and Zeke replied with his eyes back at the commotion "<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Not really sure boss. The guys with the thing disappeared into the alleyway.</span>" Dayle observed the situation, and what he saw was a mess. There were dead bodies on the floor, the area was roughed up as if a fight have happened, and people are keeping away from an alleyway. The scene was already fucked, so it wasn't a good idea for Dayle to come swooping in without some kind of plan or clarification. Zeke suddenly tapped Dayle with the back of his hand "<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Boss, from what I saw, those guys are bad news. I even heard-</span>"<br>
<br>
<i><b>AAAAAAGGGHHH!</b></i><br>
<br>
Shrill cries of pain and agony caused Dayle and his crew to reflexively look back at the entrance to the alleyway, before Zeke continued his words "<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">...terrible noises.</span>" The crowd around the marketplace were terrified judging from their expression, none bothered to pursue it any further. Dayle's expression hardened, unable to imagine the horrors going on that alleyway. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">What the fuck...</span>" He had his fair shares of beating people up, humiliating them, or just generally causing pain, but he has never heard any of his enemies scream in such a horrific way. Except for that one time he crushed someone's family jewels, and he was sorry for that even. The scream made Dayle even more unwilling to go in without any information. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Zeke, got anything else?</span>" Zeke shrugged as he answered "<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">To be honest boss, I didn't really wanna risk it, so that's the only things I can say.</span>" Dayle held his chin in contemplation, before addressing three of his men. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">You three, find a guy from the people here. We're going to squeeze info outta them.</span>" """<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">On it boss!</span>""" They went off to find an unlucky fool, and came back after a few seconds dragging somebody. "<span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">Hey! What in the goddamn-</span>" "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Shut the fuck up.</span>" Dayle interrupted him as he was presented and restrained in front of him. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Tell us what you know about the shit that happened here.</span>" The man gulped, before asking hesitantly "<span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">W-what's in it for me?</span>" Dayle replied by making the man feel what's it like to be near a burning furnace. <span style="font-family: 'Lora';">(CD | 0) [F] <u>Hot Stuff</u></span><br>
<br>
The man spilled out what he knew, and when he started sputtering after being pushed for more, Dayle let him go as he scrambled away from the marketplace. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">We didn't get much, but there are three points that we need to keep in mind.</span>" Dayle started to say as he adjusted the chains on his right arm. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">One, there are three parties in here. One is probably trying to retrieve the stone, another is the thief's group, and the other are people who also want some.</span>" He then raised his hand to point to fingers up. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Two, at least one or two of those people are big trouble. By big, I mean, <i>real </i>big.</span>" He lowered his hand and looked around. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Third, Red Star isn't making a move, we haven't seen any of their men.</span>" Dayle's crew looked around as well and found no one bearing the Red Star's insignia. "<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Boss you're right!</span>" One of them quipped "<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Boss, doesn't that we ain't stayin anymore? We got things checked out, like the 'request' told us to do.</span>" another asked. Dayle roughly scratched his head, ruffling his hair, before answering "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">We can't go back for now. The bastards won't let us off the hook unless we bring something back.</span>" One of his men wearily looked at the entrance of the alleyway "<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">But Boss, we don't even know what them's doing there.</span>" "<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Yeah boss.</span>" another one added "<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">You're hands are even injured.</span>" Dayle scoffed "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Old Man Bartins said it ain't serious. It just needs a few days of rest. Besides, I can still use my chainz.</span>" he slapped has arm and shook it, letting the sound of clanking fill the silence between his crew. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Too bad we have to do this though. First priority is getting information from the actual people, second is getting the thing." </span>Dayle continued<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> "But we're gonna have to do something to increase our chances.</span>" He looked around the marketplace, and he smiled as he saw the broken stalls and fresh materials lying about for him to use. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">And I think I have a plan.</span>"<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">To say that things were bullshit was to greatly underestimate the situation he was in. To say that this was a horrible day was just as large of an understatement. How long ago was it that he was shoveling snow and chopping wood? How much of a fool was he to think things sucked then? Where was safe and dry and nobody was trying to kill him at every third step he took? But this place... it certainly put everything in perspective.<br>
<br>
Even then, fighting a couple bandits was not as bad as seeing a new group of thugs coming charging in and one of them beginning to shoot the place up. With... a gun? It seem like any gun he knew. It looked like one. Shot like one. But it disappeared with some ghostly fuckery as the bandits felled. The bandits. Better the bandits than them. But a gun? Everything he seen down here has been some sort of fantasy medieval screwery with swords and magical stuff and all them kind of things. Then this guy comes in with not just a gun, but a recognizable shotgun.<br>
<br>
"<b>Who the fuck are you and why do you have gun?</b>" He was able to spit out before heck broke loose all over again as he began spewing out spirits. Clover was a bit trigger happy, he didn't blame her one bit however. It did take out a spirit at least. That was all well and good, as he was assuming you couldn't touch them. And apparently that assumption still held true as the charging bandits melted at their embraced. That was absolutely disgusting. As well as horrifying. Most importantly, it was quite dangerous. Despite the stomach churning display, there was the pressing matter of already being in life or death situation. Another of the newcomers was just as quick to attack. Again, the bandits. Better than them. But it came very clear that these folks had come to kill too. It was probably only a matter of time before they decided to turn on himself, Clover, and Francois.<br>
<br>
At least the third person did not seem to have such a violent streak...  the girl with them seemed to have no such goals. Either that or she was the one bossing them around. Didn't matter as he wasn't about to complain at one of the few people here not trying kill everything. So immediately she became his favorite of the newcomers. Even if she was doing some wierd magic stuff. <br>
<br>
Then the words she said sunk in, and his face turned rather red. A pretty angry shade of red too.  "<b>A stone! This is all about a stupid little damnable ROCK!"</b> He exclaimed in a shout that concluded with his voice cracking in furious incredulity. That's it. They were mad. They were all absolutely mad. Since he came here he had been running for his life because some idiots wanted some rock. Killing over it.<br>
<br>
As one of them was attempting to do now, taking full advantage of Rudolph's stunned lack of attention. Reminding him that he was indeed in a fight. The his smacked into his head and made him see stars as his awteness drifted back to the problem at hand.  That people were trying to kill him. He wasn't sure how he forgot. There was pain... funny... he could taste blood, but it didn't hurt like he had expected. He really was growing stronger. Tougher. All the better for him. All the worse for them.<br>
<br>
Rudolph planted a foot, and reared back his arm to release a hearty haymaker to the man's jaw. Slugging him back and adding in that extra bit of vitriol that he was feeling right now. <br>
<br>
Then came the words of the old man. He didn't mind this fellow. Another one of the rare few who wasn't seeming to want to kill him in sight. This was nice. What wasn't nice was apparently the news he had to say.<br>
Clover stole something. Gun man was crazy. Risking life for a rock.<br>
<br>
"<b>We wouldn't want to offend anyone. Now would we?</b>" He said with bitter sarcasm through gritted teeth. Not that he felt bitter towards Franky. Just the situation, his eyes fell on the nearby bandit waiting his turn at making Rudolph die. <br>
<br>
Rudolph immediately squared himself up against the threat, "<b>I didn't carry her bratty ass halfway across the scumhole just to leave her to die here</b>." He said without thought. The trouble she had drug him into...because of a stupid stone. Still... Francois did have merits to what he was saying. So far the others were just attacking the bandits. The woman seemed diplomatic enough... of all the options maybe diplomacy had a better shot... could always fight later if needed. Plus, it really did feel better that at least one person would be on his side.<br>
<br>
<b>"I dont care about the rock. I'll hand it over to them myself if I got to. But I'll be damned before I let us die down here. Alive and out of here. Thats the priority. All three of us. Whether she likes it or not... and especially if she doesn't.</b>"<br>
<br>
<br>
This was shit. It was the culmination of all of it so far. And there was no way it could get much worse than this... anyway... he had already talked to much and the bandits were about to wait forever surely... with a sudden step forward, Rudolph swung his opposite leg around and extended it as a kick from the side at the gut of other bandit.<br>
<br>
<br>
He had to get over to Clover. One way or the other. Certainly before anyone else did. <br>
<br>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/515e8d0343ecc7b6191df4d8ff2ab14f-jpg.961770/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/898/898900-52c43ca87aacfbafeab4101d98d0a9d0.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="515e8d0343ecc7b6191df4d8ff2ab14f.jpg" title="515e8d0343ecc7b6191df4d8ff2ab14f.jpg" width="178" height="100" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
Quickly the bandits were apprehended, Baxtor's attack on the bandit worked while they were distracted with his dying gang, quickly two had been dissolved before him. A sharp and icy stab went through this bandit. They didn't have words as they stared at Baxtor, their eyes said enough. Life quickly faded from his eyes and replaced with death, slowly falling onto the ground, ice surrounded his wound, frozen blood stayed on Baxtor's blade as it was pulled out. <br>
<br>
Rowan's use of barriers still impressed Arthur, easily Rowan deflected the kunair attack which made the blade ricochet back in a random direction, canceling the attack, but also shattering Rowan's shield in the process. It seemed that this white clothed thief had power in her attacks. Just a little bit. While she was recovering from the attack, she did not see the net coming from above. It was already too late and she got caught in it falling to the ground. " <b>No! Gods no! </b>" She cried. A barrier appearing above her to prevent her from getting back up. Leaving Clover in a hunched state while trapped. These new pursuers of the stone were very capable. <br>
<br>
To Francois, his insight of Arthur would show a cold and determined man, he had just killed a couple of bandits without batting a eye, his angry amber eyes stared into Francois', there was no doubt that he knew of the professor, but he was not an threat to the old man, but to those who opposed him. Arthur had a rep at the academy for outcasting himself from everyone, being rude and cold to those he did not like, and being a rather diligent student surprisingly for someone as brutal as he was. But Francois was slammed in the back by the bandit who was laughing at the old man, about to say something snarky when one of those spirits that Arthur had summoned came to his aid, running straight towards Francois but jumped up over him and landed on the man's face. Spitting acid as they fell over, blood began to flood the area of his head as he was screaming. It soon turned to gurgling and nonsense. It would seem Arthur saw Francois and his new weapon, but still did not say anything, only thing Francois would get was his look of acknowledgement. <br>
<br>
Rudolph would have seen what transpired before him, Arthur would have acknowledged Rudy's question but ultimately gave no answer but only a stern look. His anger did not help either when he yelled out about the stone, this actually spark a reaction from Arthur who looked like he was about to say something but he was attacked by one of the remaining bandits, knocking him down. When the bandit raised his weapon high into the air, he received a punch from Rudy which knocked the man back, making him take a few steps backwards to hold his nose. He dropped his weapon. Groaning in pain looking at Rudy with disdain, but that disdain became ruin when he saw his brothers. His entire gang, gone, each were killed. He being the last remaining one. And he only suffered a broken nose. The thief, Clover, was caught in a net. And these three newcomers were the victors. <br>
<br>
Over by where Dayle and his crew of outcasts from the over city of Ryken, a couple of men with sheathed weapons ran by through thr market, heading straight for where the commotion he and his gang was scouting. Soon enough, Dayle would see another one. Then another one. Hell footsteps could be heard on the rooftops above him, looking up he would see small gangs, hired mercs, well prepared mercs, a knight, a weird troll with some sort of human leg for a weapon, and even a gang of midgets, smaller than dwarfs running by. It was almost as if everyone was hired or told to get involved. What were they after that was so gods damn important? <br>
<br>
Arthur stared at the scene before him, they had won easily. The thief was caught, one of his academy teachers was involved and this third guy who looked tough as nails was alone. Shouldnt be too hard to deal with, even in his anger he still cared for this thief, saying he didn't care about the risks of death but that they were getting out of here. Arthur smirked a little, a pretty naive thing to say, although he was unaware that he just met this thief today. Arthur's arm glowed for a moment and he whispered something quietly. " <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">I gather you, spirits. You shall come forth and form my weapon.</span> " sticking his hand out, glowing light appeared as strange mist moved towards the lights and swirled into it. The light faded and formed a firearm. Similar to that of a regular 9mm pistol. <b>Spiritual Ordnance: Basic - E - 1 Post Cooldown. </b>Arthur then held this purple ethereal weapon Rudy. " <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Give me the damn stone, then, and I'll let you walk out of here alive.</span> " Arthur spoke to Rudy. Showing no emotion in his eyes. <br>
<br>
But before anyone could react, there would be the stampeding of footsteps and the sound of people nearing, Arthur actually turned his head and would see that small gangs began to now surround them, even on rooftops, smaller gangs formed up there. Strange leather knights appeared above the two main groups closest to the trapped Clover, who herself looked terrified. Strange cloaked one-eyed men with no hair appeared on the other roof and stared down the leather knights. Tensions were growing. One by one each of these different and complex groups showed up. Wanting to get their hands on this stone, unaware of what it was or if they were aware either didn't care or wanted that money.<br>
<br>
Each of these gangs different than the next. Each their own syndicate of criminality. There was whispering and talks of what would happen next. Each of then did not like the other, people stared others down. There was almost no way out of this. Everyone was surrounded by someone, and each had their own bone to pick with someone. <br>
<br>
Arthur sighed, " <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Well fuck.</span> " He mumbled. " <b>Oi! Ghlanesh! </b>" A random man yelled across the opening, a silence fell over everyone besides these two that would talk. " <b>What?</b> " A woman called back. " <b>Your mother's nothing but a whore I had my way with, you mumce! </b>" The man called. " <b>Oh ye?</b> " the woman called. " <b>Yea! </b>" The man yelled. " <b>Your brother has a better way of fondling a woman than you do with your baby hands! </b>" The woman yelled back. " <b>WHAT!?</b> " The man yelled then roared as they charged each other, this then caused a large battle to ensue with each of these groups jumping off rooftops or jumping across rooftops to fight. There was nothing but yelling and screaming, the sound of metal clashing and blood slipping. <br>
<br>
Arthur lost sight of almost his entire crew within seconds of the fighting. Quickly he fired his gun into people around. <b>BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!</b> Easily, people went down but it did not matter, people were too busy fighting each other to realize what was happening. <br>
<br>
Quickly, Clover used her mistforming ability to move through the net and escape, materializing again and seeing the blood and fighting. Blood spilled onto her from a troll and knight fighting. Quickly she began to move through the crowd, a couple of people noticing her as she ran through the crowd. <br>
<br>
Arthur growled as he dodged attacks and moved through the crowd. " <b>Rowan!</b> " he called, as he fired his ethereal gun into the crowd of fighting idiots. Taking a couple down as he moved to find his half-paid mercenary. <br>
<br>
Dayle and his gang would see a white clothed woman run out of the crowd, covered in blood. With a bag on her hip, she wielded a kunai and chain that was also covered in blood. She looked tired and exhausted, a couple of people running from the clusterfuck tried to pursue her, as tired as she was, she could still fight. She used her kunai as a leathered man approached with a iron sword, swinging it. The woman easily sidestepped and brought her weapon up, stabbing the man through the jaw into the brain from below once the sword swung down. Pulling it out, the next attacker was a strange half naked man with tattoos all over his upper body. He wielded a spear and tried to charge Clover, but she only threw her weapon forward on its chain and slammed the kunai through the eye socket of the warrior. Who immediately fell. The woman sighed of relief for a moment of rest. <br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">How many times can one say this is a bad day? The thought seemed to roll through Rudolph's had at least every ten seconds. Just in case he somehow forgot about all the stuff that was going on around him. When everything was going wrong, you just had to grit your teeth and plow through best you could. Though it did come as some relief when the other bandits fell leaving the last one to wisely flee.<br>
<br>
With a brief respite, he took a deep breath. Now that was done with... that left the other problem. Crazy gun man, the ice fellow, and the magic girl. They wanted something.  Seemed willing to kill as they were to talk. There was little doubt in Rudolph's mind that talking was by far the superior path to take here. But he wasn't so stupid as to assume it was going to be that easy.<br>
<br>
Sure, the gun man called back his spirits, though that wouldn't count for much if he brought out his gun again. So it was then that Rudolph took advantage of this moment to reach his foot out under the weapon the fleeing bandit had dropped, and kick it up enough so that he could grab it out of the air.<br>
<br>
It was a but of an awkward catch, but he let him keep his eyes on the gun man. Who was summoning a gun at the same time. Now, Rudolph never held a sword in his life. It felt weighty and awkward, and he was under no disillusion that he could hurt himself as easily as an opponent. However, Rudolph was pulling his weight pretty well so far... and he had seen enough to know that the pointy end goes into bad guy. The sharp edge went into bad guy to. Stab, slash, chop. Whatever worked. In all honesty, Rudolph would have preferred sticking with his fists, he was familiar with those. And since he couldn't have himself a gun too, bringing a sword to a gunfight was marginally better than bringing his bare hands to a gunfight. Better than nothing.<br>
<br>
Despite his inexperience, Rudy didn't feel helpless. Even with the awkward weight of the blade, he felt he could swing it with ease. He could FEEL how much stronger he was. How much faster he had become. Even with all this exertion he still was not out of breath, as if he could do this all day. Whatever this world was doing to him, it was certainly a blessing in disguise.<br>
<br>
So now, he was staring down the barrel of a gun. Throwing out threats when he could have just said please... And with only a sword to work with, he had to ask himself what else could go wrong. Cosmic humor dictated he did not have to wait long for an answer as rather suddenly they were surrounded. Things had went from bad to worse in a heartbeat.<br>
<br>
Lovely.<br>
<br>
Luck was one their side... as whatever prize these gangs were seeking, they were willing to fight over it. This normally would have been fine by Rudy... if he wasn't stuck in the dead center of it.<br>
<br>
The crowd swarmed. And Rudolph prepared himself. Welp... the decision was made for him. Fight his way out. The direction? That was made clear by the escaping figure in white. Clover found a way out before he could get to her. Good on her. That was a good a direction as any.  "<b>Francois, this way!"</b> He shouted, to be heard of the yells and clangs of battle. Rudolph charged forward.<br>
<br>
<br>
He didn't need skill with a sword to know what he needed to do. With as many people as were around, any swing of the sword would hit somebody, and odds are he wouldn't hit a friend. Rudolph swung when he needed to swing, hacked when he needed to hack. Shoving aside those he could that weren't paying attention to him Charging forth to batter a way through towards Clover. Trying to clear a way for himself and Francois before the gangs decided to turn their sights on them.<br>
<br>
<br>
Just as he neared the edge of the crowd, he met the eyes of probably the first of these gang members that was ready to fight him one on one. It was a tiny thing. A dwarf? A garden gnome came to life? Didn't matter... for it was in his way and would kill him given half the chance.<br>
<br>
Rudolph did not slow his charge. No... Rudolph sped up. And with the angry and determined look on Rudolph's face, that midget knew exactly what was coming for him.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Clover may not have even have had a a chance to take two breaths over the dead body of the tattooed man before she saw a tiny package of a midget soaring out of the crowd like a wayward soccer ball. Rolling to a stop and scampering out of the way the boy who broken free from melee. He certainly did not look in a state to be messed with. His sword was bloodied, and his face red with sprays of blood that wasn't his save for a cut on his lip. He was still soaking wet from his dip in the pool, and his clothing bore various cuts and gashes from near misses.<br>
<br>
He lowered his sword as he was running towards her. "<b>Get your ass in gear, girl! Or do i have to carry you across this shithole all over again!</b>" He shouted. "<b>I can't believe you pulled me into this mess over a fucking rock. I'll have words for you later. Now move it</b>!" Oh he had words for her alright. And first chance he got he was going to turn over that stone so they could get out of this mess with their skins intact. And if Clover thought she was better off without Rudolph, the only person who seemed to be on her side... well she was stupider than he had given her credit for.<br>
<br>
But first, they needed to get out of danger.<br>

As Baxtor stood up his face cleared showing the deadpan expression he usually has straightening his suit cuffs and slapping a nearby wall to shake the frozen blood off before wiping it with a cloth and cleaning it, as he did these he watched the surroundings even the thief making off through the crowd. Baxtor was clearly not intending on following alone as in this kind of crowd that would be suicidal instead he just memorized the direction she went carefully. As Baxtor sheathed his sword finally he slowly made his way through the ground to a high ground where his group could see him, as the gangs were fighting they had no interest in a obvious noble clearly ignoring him. Baxtor laughed lightly as he enjoyed this situation "Ah being a noble is so easy... maybe I ought to raise my status..." Baxtor muttered as he finally arrived at the high ground standing out so arthur and the others can find him as he lit another self-rolled cigarette and watched the fighting with some amusement.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: 22px"><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><span style="font-family: 'Lora';">Dayle Keller</span></span></span>​</div><br>
<div style="max-width:100%; height:400px; padding:5px; overflow:auto; border: 1px solid;"><br>
Dayle had a bright idea. Take the stalls apart, or what is already broken anyway, and take whatever they can. Boards, planks, anything they can to use to turn into a makeshift shield or weapon. Take the ropes that hold them together and stitch it up with the boards. They would make a barricade of some sorts. We their set of skills, it would've been sloppy work, but Dayle would be damned if he didn't make it work.<br>
<br>
As Dayle and his gang were "acquiring" materials, leisurely crafting, and shooing away the poor folks who wanted their stalls intact, Dayle paused as he held a wooden board in his hands. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Do you guys hear that?</span>" The rest of his gang also stopped, only to find out that a number of people have started to gather towards their general area. Mercenaries, hired swords, outcasts, and even midgets have appeared. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Shit! My plan!</span>" Knowing that there would be an eventual scuffle, the gang hastened their efforts, but only managed to create a shoddy wooden board that acts like a shield. A terrible one at that too. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Well, fuck.</span>"  Although he knew that there would be others just like him, he didn't expect it to be so many. If that's the case, thin this artifact must be a really big deal. However, none of them are even from Red Star. There was a growing bad premonition inside his heart, and he can't help but start to wonder if everything's going to be worth it by the end of all of this.<br>
<br>
Dayle threw the board towards Zeke and exclaimed "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Take it Zeke! You're on guard duty!</span>" Zeke nodded with determination and stood in front. Frankly, it barely covered his upper body and will most likely only protect his arm. They then prepared for battle, only to notice the shields of those mercenaries. Compared to their own, it was incomparably better in every way. "<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Uh... Boss?</span>" "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Not a fucking word.</span>" Before any of them could even do anything, the groups of society's filth started to argue with each other. Dayle and his crew looked at each other, and then a fight suddenly broke out between the scums. The gang was taken aback, but realized this was the inevitable conclusion. Hired people of differing views and factions is bound to cause problems, more on between themselves than the actual target. Although they were thankfully some distance away from the infighting, a few stragglers managed to find their way to them. Thinking about the infighting made Dayle pride at the loyalty of his gang.<br>
<br>
"<span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)">Whatcha looking at- oof!</span>" One of the stragglers was immediately clocked in the jaw, and stomped on by five different sets of feet until the edge of life. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Take his shit.</span>" Dayle commanded, before the rest of his crew stripped him of his equipment. They only useful stuff they could get without wasting time was a crappy sword. Just as Dayle was trying to think of a plan, one of his goons called out "<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Boss! The white guy ova' there!</span>" Dayle's head whipped towards the direction his goon was pointing at "<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Them's part of the group!</span>" On the edge of battles was a person clad in white robe, who has just recently been joined with another guy. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Shit! No time to think, after them!</span>" With that prompt, Dayle and his crew began charging towards them. Zeke kept on the side to guard their flank, and whenever someone gets near their path, they would be clotheslined by one of Dayle's men. There would be some people who'd block their way, either unwillingly or otherwise, but they were soon met with pain of steel lashing at their body. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Get out of the fucking way!</span>" Dayle exclaimed, shoulder checking a guy in the process and throwing them back into the battle.<br>
<br>
The entire situation was frantic, but Dayle had no way of calmly dealing with it now. It's now or never, and he knew he would lose sight of the targets if he did not chase now. His face hardened as he neared the white robed thief and their presumed comrade.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Everything had gone according to plan. The thief had been captured, they had a decent chance of making it out alive because it was a 3 on 3 battle- things had been looking good. Until the thief turned into mist and escaped her net, along with roving bands of gangs all after the god-forsaken stone. Though if she was being honest, things had been going too smoothly. At least a wrench thrown into the plans made it feel less like a weirdly elaborate trap. <br>
<br>
The thief clad in white had been gone from view-having taken the chance to escape in the wild confusion...until her companion raced through the crowd, leaving her a surprisingly large opening as he charged through the dense crowd. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Cover me!"</span> Rowan exclaimed at Arthur and Baxtor, seeing her chance. She slipped through the opening the man gave her, weaving around fighting midgets and gangs all gunning for each other to chase after the damned stone.  Baxtor...was taking the time to have a cigar? Goddamn it, she had just met the guy, but that seemed careless, considering they were in the throes of probably one of the largest gang wars the Underbelly had seen. Hopefully he would actually back her up- or at least back Arthur up in the absolute chaos of this battle. She didn't know the man well, but it didn't bode well for their health if he needed a smoke break after killing one person- during an all-out-brawl.<br>
<br>
More than a few times, she would have gotten hit from a stray punch, an errant slash of a sword, if not for the new quickness of her casting. She managed to throw up a shield (Basic Shield-Grade F-Multiple Post Cooldown), using it to take the brunt of the weaker attacks. <br>
Finally, she made it to the other side, spotting the thief with her...accomplice? No, he wasn't anything of that sort- he seemed to be yelling at  her, not having known she was holding the bullshit magic stone. <br>
<br>
Amour molded over her skin (Mage Armor- Grade E-0 Post Cooldown), giving her an extra layer of protection in case someone tried to attack her. She had been closer to the pair than most of the new groups of gangs were, so she had a few precious moments alone with the thief and this man clearly determined to protect her. She would try diplomacy again- at least until someone truly came after her.<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"> "I don't know who you work for, and frankly I don't care. All I'm going to tell you is that almost everyone in the Underbelly is going to be gunning for you- and you look quite distinctive. Everyone's seen your face, and your clothes are bright white. Even if your companions defend you, it's us, and every gang in the Underbelly coming after you. I hope your life is worth more to you than that stone- because they won't try to talk to you first before going for your throat- and turning into a mist won't save you then. You get to walk away without a word if you hand over the stone. No tricks, no backstabbing." </span><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)">Rowan tried once again-hoping it would also reach her companion's ears as well. He didn't seem to like the stone as well. </span><br>
<br>
Fuck- there was a gang coming towards them- leaving her at a severe disadvantage. IT seemed like they weren't focused on gang rivalries, but on the stone as well.  IF both the gang and the thief came at her...well she wasn't sure how many she could take with her. If Arthur and Baxtor had been with her, she would have a chance of getting out of this...but the odds were really stacked against her here. Hopefully they wouldn't leave her out to dry. If they did...well, that was a situation she didn't want to contemplate. She was ready to use her magic on everyone here- but only if it truly came to that. <br>

It was astonishing the rate at which things just. Kept. Escalating. If Francois was a more religious man he would have said God was testing them. He wasn't vain enough to think God would be particularly interested in him, he considered himself rather unremarkable. Perhaps that boy caught the attention of some deity. He seemed the their type. However, Francois didn't have the luxury to pursue frivolous thoughts at the moment. <br>
<br>
He ran after Rudolph doing his utmost to stay on the heels of the thief girl. He had told Rudolph he would honor his decision and despite the danger and potential risk to his livelihood by going against the Academy like this he stay true to his words. It was strange Francois had long since realized any handle he once had on the situation had long since slipped from his grasp, he had been prepared to abandon Rudolph and Clover. Yet, even now he couldn't bring himself to leave them... This was just too entertaining! He turned back to their myriad of pursuers weaving through the chaotic battle around them. He had hoped he could save this a little longer but necessity demanded its use. Francois pulled the gun from his coat feeling the cool metals weight in his hands. As they moved Rudolph cut down enemies in their way with a seized sword while Francois gunned down those who broke through his onslaught. He caught sight of all sorts of different groups with all sorts of justifications for their intervention. Unfortunately or fortunately by his standards someone more focused was chasing after them. The girl who had been with Arthur and the Everfrost boy was quite close to them. The same magic she had used to attempt to capture Clover with shimmered slightly across her body as barreled through obstacles like a storm. <br>
<br>
She was oddly enough still trying to appeal to their good nature. Opting for a "peaceful" solution of surrender. Francois found it humorous. Rudolph had conveyed his position to continue to support Clover despite her mistreatment of him and the danger had had been shoved into. He cared very little for her mission however, and the Academies Seeing Stone was still on her person. Francois wondered if he would give it up in favor of escape though he knew the thief would not allow that meekly. He eyed Rudolphs fierce form hefting his bloody sword. He brought up his gun and aimed he could shoot her, the invisible armor she possessed must have a limit and this weapon hadn't come to him cheap he knew it stronger than it looked surely a few well placed shots would be enough. He pulled the trigger shooting the roving gangs approaching them. He would leave the decision to Rudolph his purpose was to merely support him for now. He had to admit he was feeling some kinship with the boy one cannot fight together and risk life and limb with another without forming some kind of bond. Even a monster such as he. Though it certainly wasn't one of affection, it was more akin to respect if it could be called as such. The boy struggled desperately and so long as that maintained Francois interest and served his desires then he would help.  </span></span></div>

Throughout the chaos of this war that took to the streets, fire began, whoever started it was now either gone, dead or wounded. This was getting out of hand now. Buildings were catching flame, people were catching on fire too, some didn't even know and were too distracted by one another and their hatred for others. The ones that sought space and 'safety' from what was happening ran through the crowd where collateral damage was more than likely, intentional or not. Making his way through the crowd, Rudy would be hacking and slashing his path into this cesspit of degenerates and criminals. While he swung, a unintentional swing came from his right, he would see it for a moment but would have no time to react, a large mace would come his way and hammer him in his head, above his right eye, blood splattered into the air and he would be dazed for a moment. But he would move forward, almost as if he would not remember the hit but gods be damned he could feel the pain, blood would be running down the right side of his face. Clover would have noticed Rudy, her head whipped around seeing the man, now bloodied. <br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1646114965506-png.962920/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/900/900050-f21fda5f3a25ce745fb436786fde930e.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1646114965506.png" title="1646114965506.png" width="100" height="142" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
Rowan, making her way through the field after telling Arthur to cover her got what she needed, as shots rang out, a few bullets struck their marks taking down a few of these miscreants. Giving Rowan enough time to cast herself some mage armor, luckily for her her armor blocked a few hits that seemed to have been weaker than her shield strength, but each hit cracked it a little. Eventually just as she got out of the warring crowd, she would have gotten hit by a large sword that sent her flying forward, breaking her shield. Luckily she was protected but the force of the swing would still hurt. Upon getting up, Rowan would see Clover ad Rudy meet, Rudy looking worst for ware, behind Clover a gang was approaching her quickly. Clover's head whipped around where she saw the gang coming. Spinning around once, her kunai came flying from the side, her blade had looked like it grew in size as it was covered in sharp frozen ice to extend her range and slice deeper. She spun around and sliced one of the members that got too close, she then pulled the kunai back and stood there in a defensive stance with her weapon swinging, this woman in white looked like she was a caged animal. Wild, scared and desperate, luckily being blinded by her emotions she only was able to permanently blind one of the Red Star member's eyes. Taking one as a unintentional warning rather than a kill. " <b>Shit... More of them.</b> " She said out loud, sounding like she was meant to say that internally.<br>
<br>
For the teacher of Ryken, this had gotten out of hand, especially being the only remaining teacher that got this far and even this close to the Seeing Stone. This was almost too much to bear, people were dying left and right, fires began to burn up, sounds of battle and murder. Clover taking off as soon as the fighting began really showed where her priorities were at, Rudolph chasing her should also show where his priorities were at. Right through the crowd, Francois would see Rudy taking a bad hit, so bad that it was like he didn't even notice the hit and kept running, luckily for Francois he would have been able tog et through without any damage, besides getting constantly bumped and pushed by fighting parties. Arriving to the scene, Francois would see that Clover blinded one of a new gang that came to take the prize from Clover, hoping to get a easy steal and kill probably. Clover's eyes turned around as she breathed hard, seeing that Francois was pointing a weapon similar to that of the one-armed man. But it got pointed pass her and to this new gang, Clover quickly moved out of the way of where he pointed at.<br>
<br>
<br>
But in the distance, there would be faint moving and a weird shadowed figure in the distance, something long and skinny heading their way. Eventually what they would see was a strange looking bug that was actually taller the closer it got. It made a strange noise as it moved closer, it's head quickly whipping around, it's bones could be heard moving and cracking. The large stinger on it's head moved in then out, almost like it was sniffing the air, a passerby that ran by it immediately got stomped on, a foot stabbing through the man's body where they laid now, lifeless. It made another noise as it folded down, now close to the ground. It looked at the body and looked like it was sniffing the body, but it must have not been interested as it then folded back up and now stood tall, it had to be around forty feet tall as it overlooked everyone. It moved rather slowly at the moment.<br>
<br>

Being the smug noble that Baxtor was, he looked down over the consuming crowd of fighting and murder. Nor Arthur or Rowan would see the half dragon kin, each busy with their own situations. Even having the audacity of lighting a cigarette in this gang war, he would have no one notice him as he then made his way down from where he stood. Too many distractions to see one noble looking down on all them, ironic and almost poetic. As he made his way down, just leaving the large warring party, Baxtor would hear a call from behind. " <b>Hey, Noble.</b> " Upon looking back, he would see a couple of warriors, covered in blood but it wasn't theirs, their voices sounding like they were from another country, very eastern. " <b>You reek of dragon's blood, Dargon. </b>" One spoke, " <b>We were originally paid to retrieve some stone but that will have to wait. This takes priority. </b>" The other spoke, his voice having the same accent but was much deeper. " <b>By the Dictate of Scales, you, Dargon, are sentenced to die. </b>" They both spoke then moved away from each other to separate themselves away from each other to make it harder to fight them. <br>

<br>
Arthur was fighting tooth and nail in this crowd, fighting random people he came across or that came cross him. His eyes looked over to see if he could find Rowan, that dragon guy, the thief or even Francois. He was surprised to see that old man down here originally, he didn't seem the type to be here, he also wasn't sure if he had actually battle skills besides that gun he just saw earlier. But the old man even being with the thief was sort of strange to him, either he was in on the thief stealing the Seeing Stone or he was just that good at getting involved in situations this serious, but Arthur himself never really heard much of Francois besides he was just a normal old man. Although, Arthur wasn't too sure about that, Francois seemed normal but his normal was strange, almsot Nova-strange...<br>
<br>
Getting knocked out of his thoughts by a hard punch, Arthur would feel blood spill from his lip, whoever struck him got grabbed and pulled into the mix. Arthur saw Rowan, thanks to her strange shimmering armor, Arthur pushed his way through the crowd, he could taste his blood and oh man, it tasted good, it was far too long he has been able to taste his own blood. Exiting the gang war, he would come across some tall and skinny... Bug? Coming their way, his eyes looked over the scene and he saw Baxtor, that strange dragon noble taking on two strong looking warriors. "<b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"> Rowan! Help the helpless dragon! </span></b>" Arthur called as he walked forward, his ghost arm glowing faintly. His eyes looked at all that was already at the scene, the white clothed thief, scared looking and she should be. Her strong looking guy friend who took a massive hit in the head. Francois, having a gun, which he approved. The tall bug stepping and killing people, and finally the gang that arrived, Red Star. Arthur knew of them, he studied his gangs before coming down here. <br>
<br>
Luckily for him, they weren't the strongest gang nor the biggest but that didn't mean they were weak by all means, these guys had to be lackeys. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Hey, Red Star goons! You best get out of here, whatever your little gang is paying you is not worth this. Especially since one of you just lost a eye. </span>" His eyes moved over to Rudy, " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">And you, you'd best get that Seeing Stone from your little scared girlfriend over there. Lest she gets killed or that wound gets worst. </span>" Arthur had blood on him, he was covered in it, and even was bleeding himself from wounds. <br>

</div></div>Jason didn't quite know exactly what he was expecting when he came to the underbelly. He was informed that there was a massive bug that lived there, so he decided he wanted to go see it. However, upon arriving, he was taken aback by the site of gang violence and a war going on. Looking around at the chaos that was spreading throughout this place, he wondered what exactly was going on. Seeing the massive bug that he was looking for walking around and killing people was a bit shocking to say the least. Despite this, he didn't think that it was the bug that was causing the chaos. If it had already lived there, there would be no need for chaos. It would just be something that people are used to. Ergo, something else was going on. Of course, he didn't really care either way. In fact, he was simply looking at the Scorpion fly that had landed on his finger, a smile of joy upon it as he examined the perfect specimen of insect. The 15 battle ready insects just standing around him, looking around and skittering about without getting more than 10 ft away from him. They were loyal and he appreciated that.<br>
<br>
As the chaos and destruction spread, Jason had decided that he was done with this. He started down the street. Each one of his insects taking a very specific role in travel. The Crypticrawlers skittered forward quickly to make sure that nothing was in his way and stopped to wait for him to catch up. Repeating this action as they walked. The Vilpincer's trudged along at his side, their tails swaying above them as they moved. The Caustic Spitters lumbered behind him, clicking their jaws and making sure that they covered his flank well. They moved as though he was the king of this small hive. Of course, that was exactly who he was to them.<br>
<br>
Small varieties of common insects crawled about his clothing and flew around him. Of course, normal insects had always done this. He didn't mind at all, but of course, there were people who avoided him on a regular basis because of this fact. Other people simply couldn't understand the beauty of the common insect. Jason was not like them. He understood that insects were a powerful and wondrous thing. By comparison to other things its size, insects were stronger and more capable than any other species on the planet. He envied them and was in all of their capability despite being so small and so frail.<br>
<br>
After a moment of walking he stopped. A random conversation in the middle of this all out War caught his attention. Something about a stone? Seemed like a bit of a weird conversation to be having in the middle of a battle. Unless, that was what this battle was about. He turned his head and looked upon the group that he could see was talking about this. Granted, despite how odd that seemed, he knew that they would think he was the odd one. A person standing so calmly in the middle of a battle with insects swarming about him. However, he turned and started to walk towards them. A smile on his face as the scarred, black eye on his left side seemed to stare into their soul "<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">You all are incredibly strange. Here we are, in the middle of a total war and you all are talking about a stone? Interesting. So, which one of you should I consider speaking with at the moment?</span>" The battle ready insects around him each started to chitter and move in an erratic nature. They could instinctively tell that Jason was about to tell them to do something. Probably to attack someone. Their bodies started to shake slightly as the chittering noises of anticipation filled the air "<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">Speak now or I will choose at random whom I will feed to my hive.</span>" With the way he had his arms placed in front of his body, each hand hidden inside the other sleeve and the smile upon his face, it wasn't like he was threatening anybody. Rather, it was as though he was just speaking pure facts. It was common knowledge that insects were able to devour a lot compared to their relatively small body size. One can only imagine how much insects that size could eat. Jason was a creature of curiosity. Now, it was only a hunch that these people knew exactly what was going on, but he was going to follow that hunch.<br>

<br>
<i>Scylla</i><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The underbelly, a crude place for all who desired to live a life of crime, and the perfect hideout for those who chose a path inacceptable to the buzzing organized society above. Murky streets, alleys that reeked of urine and miscreants just waiting to rob unaware passerbys. If you wanted to call them that. It was less than homely for Scylla, who had come down to a part of the Underbelly, notorious for pickpocketing, where the act had become a sport of sorts. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">“No one is innocent when stealing from thieves.”</span> The witch says confidently to a local as she slides him a few coins for information. She had only recently arrived and wasted no time in conducting her business at the marketplace tavern, it wasn't the place to linger but her need had greatly outweighed the risk. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">“Now, tell me what you know about this, wizard..”</span> The hood of her cloak casting a dark shade, concealing her face from the candle lit table, revealing only her amber orbs. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">“..say I was trying to free a prisoner. If I could get him in, could he undo a spellbound lock?”</span> A vile smirk forming on her black painted lips wouldn't even get a moment's notice from the informant as a loud commotion fulminated outside. Everyone in the tavern would cry out in panic as they started towards the exit to see what had transpired.<br>
<br>
As explosions and fire began to erupt outside, the informant, already incredibly anxious about the meeting, would vanish to somewhere unknown. Scylla's frustration exploded in equal measure as she angrily stood while slamming her fists upon the shoddy table. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">“Damn it!”</span><br>
Seemed like negotiations had failed, a bitter thought that clouded her even tempered mind as she started towards the exit pushing past the ragged, smelly, scared but drunk spectators.<br>
<br>
They wouldn't really begin to run until a massive stampede of criminals and thugs stormed the wide streets, firing bullets, swinging swords, screaming, leaving a trail of gore, fluids, broken swords and dying criminals on the cobbled path. As she appraised the situation she immediately noticed multiple fires had already begun to set ablaze the poorly laid out slums. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">“Brilliant. Another war.</span>” She said with bitter sarcasm, as she set out of the now burning tavern, looking over her shoulder at once to notice the owner helplessly attempting to put out the fire.<br>
 She didn't wish to get involved in this war, considering it wasn't her fight, much less a place she cared about, a decision she quickly reconsidered as a rugged ruffian manicaly charged at her. The witches' staff would swiftly produce a shadowy mist-like stream through her body and into her opposite hand under her cloak before blasting the gang member with a Spectral Blast spell. She’d attempt to search for a way out or through the chaos. But her steps would come to a halt upon noticing the sudden quaking of the ground which echoed and rumbled beneath her feet. The rickity surrounding buildings would tremble as they shook off rotting parts of roofing material. She began to search for its source, stepping on the fallen criminal to get a boost. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"You're much too kind." </span>She'd say mockingly at the cold corpse sizzling from the witches blast beneath her boots, discovering the colossal insect-like creature approaching.<br>
<br>
As more and more criminals seemed to join in on the battle and now a colossal insect, Scylla found herself stuck between two sinister fates. She’d sigh in frustration, gritting her teeth as she fastened the brooch of her cloak. Perhaps there was something for her to gain through her involvement, but she didn't count on it. It all seemed like pure madness. Her assumption was that everyone would turn to the massive bug, but what if it's in league with some kind of other faction, or group? She would attempt to conceal herself as best as she could with her magic (control environment F) as she started through the shadows towards the massive bug approaching. Perhaps she would pass by others who were more closely affiliated with the reasons behind this mess.<br>

Dayle was charging just at the fringes of the chaotic war, towards the white robed thief and her presumed companions. On his head was something he believed he didn't currently have—time. The entire situation was frantic, and the flames of war have started to literally destroy their environment. However, just as he was about to reach them...<br>
<br>
"<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Aaaagh! Boss, they got me!</span>"<br>
<br>
A voice from his men stopped him in his tracks. The thief had unleashed an attack against them, slicing the eyes of one of them. Without delay, Dayle grabbed his injured men and pulled him back, before giving him to Zeke and stepping in front to protect him. The rest of his crew also positioned themselves around, on high alert and cautiously watching the rest of the people that have gathered. One of the people was pointing a suspicious looking device, and his instincts told him that it could harm or worse—kill him. His chains have already unfurled, dragging cross the ground as he readied himself.<br>
<br>
One of his men was injured to the point of crippling his eyes, and although many gang leaders would've brushed it off, these guys were priceless people to Dayle. They might be a little academically slow, but their loyalty and quick responses were traits no one can just buy. Even if only one of them dies, it won't be something Dayle can just easily recover from. He had to get them out of here. It's his duty as their leader.<br>
<br>
One of the people arrived later than the rest, but his words turn Dayle's expression sour. He couldn't blame the guy for mistaking him as Red Star's lackeys, but it still left a bitter taste in his mouth. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">What do you know, cripple?</span>" He retorted, looking at his glowing arm "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Or freak, more like it.</span>" With every word he spoke, his eyes were darting around, soaking up information from the situation around him. On one side, an all-out war was happening and it was very unlikely to get past that. On another, a tall bug-looking creature thing was slowly making its way towards their location. On the calmer sides were people who were also after the artifact, and they seemed more reasonable than the rest of the other sides. There were three grouped together, the man with a glowing arm was approaching them, and a woman—who heard was negotiating with them—was on a small distance away from them.<br>
<br>
"<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Boss, that's almost all of them.</span>" Zeke whispered from behind him, holding his injured comrade. "<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">The last one's a guy with white hair, and a moody lookin' face.</span>" Dayl turned his head to search for the man, to find him surrounded by two well-equipped people. He had never seen their outfits before, so he assumed them to be foreign force. It's either that, or they are an exclusively underbelly force. Well, he has no intention of helping him. He's already in a severe disadvantage as is, he would have no time for caring about anything else.<br>
<br>
"<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Look, It's getting dicey and I'm not going to die here. I wanted that shit ya'll been hunkerin to get. But! That ain't happenin' now.</span>" His accent was slipping in, so Dayle paused to recollect himself. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">So instead, a compromise. Tell me what the fuck this—</span>" Dayle waved his hand around "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">—is all about, and I'll stay off.</span>" He offered, his eyes getting shiftier the more time was spent negotiating. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">If I were you, I'd—</span>"<br>
<br>
Dayle was cut short when a newcomer calmly walked their way towards them with an off-putting demeanor. Does he not know what's happening around here? Dayle was about to open his mouth, but the newcomer was faster as he asked all of them for their leader, else they get fed to the insects. A vein bulged on Dayle's head as he faced the newcomer "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Haaaaah? Ya pickin' a fight, ya lil' shit? Think ya can patter over like some kind of fuckin' hotshot, talkin' to me like that huh?</span>" Dayle lashed out, spitting on the ground afterwards. Stress has finally burst his bubble, and he couldn't help but explode in anger from the ridiculousness of it all. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Goddamn hoogies skitterin' around like them's the shit. Ya want to talk? I'll give ya the talk!</span>" Dayle was ready to throw down, but was held back by his men. "<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Boss, this ain't the time!</span>" One said "<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Boss, calm down! Thing's ain't lookin' good, but explodin' now ain't better!</span>" Unfortunately, his mouth continued to throw curses, flailing his chains around and threatening the newcomer.<br>
<br>
"<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Zeke, what the fuck is going on?</span>" said the injured goon, still holding his eyes from the pain. "<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">I have no idea.</span>" Not even Zeke—with his functioning eyes—could truly grasp the situation.<br>

Baxtor's current thoughts were 'Dragon hunters? now? the fuck? are you kidding me?' he stepped back out of the hidden view of the wall at the same time shit started picking up again with all the bugs and ghosts and monsters. Baxtor saw each new addition to the chaos as an eyesore he was growing increasingly exasperated not to mention he wasn't sure if he could hand tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum on his own. Baxtor sighed long and exaggeratedly as he straightened his collar and cuffs before gripping his sword. "well boys... I don't think i need to teach you what a noble is... but don't think that i'm just gonna roll over and play day like some lower beast." Baxtor uttered as he shifted into a defensive stance "I haven't slept in fourteen years due to nobilities underhanded schemes and you think you intimidate me? I think your enjoyable as you don't hide your intentions behind a polite smile." Baxtor began to grin twistedly he had spoke the truth as from the day his second brother was born he had to dodge assassins' and poison by never sleeping, never trusting, and always cooking his own food. Baxtor was saddened by the fact he had had to depened on others again but had no choice but wait for rowan or arthur.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Rudolph really had been hoping to just run. It would have been best. It really would have. Having thrown his lot in with Clover was probably not the brightest idea he had ever had, but he was far too stubborn to just let it go now that he invested his own skin in trying to keep her alive. On top of it all, now there wqs a giant bug roaming around. What the hell was he supposed to do now?? Stupid Rudolph. Stupid stupid stupid. He should have just fled from everyone in this hell hole until he found the surface. Then fled a bit more until he could gather his bearings. Then again, how was he to know she was some thief? How was he supposed to know this entire city would be gunning for her?<br>
<br>
Speaking of gunning... that little group that found him... the blonde chick had caught up with them. And there she went trying to talk some sense into Clover. Rudolph himself needed no convincing, he was already sold on handing over the stone. Unless it was some world ending super weapon. Then he'd just pocket that himself because there was cleary no shortage of crazy and violent psychopaths around who should not have it. <br>
<br>
<br>
Speaking of psychopaths. There was a gang approaching. Some eyepatchy fucker charging straight at them. Rowan was more than right... everybody really was after Clover. Well, not in his watch. Brandishing his crappy sword, Rudolph moved closer to Clover, ready to defend her as needed. She was already attacking, getting one of them fuckers in the eyes. Well he was about ready to throw himself into the mix... or would have if the injuring of that man didn't bring them to halt to take care of downed thug. Unexpected. But nice. At least someone around here wasn't a complete asshole.<br>
<br>
<br>
Speaking of assholes. The man with the gun had to rain in on their parade. Arthur. Rudolph wasn't sure if he should groan, or be glad. For at least Arthur seemed to be interested in keeping this new gang at bay. Rudolph could get behind that. Sliding up between Clover and Arthur, the young man wiped at the blood that was stinging his eye. Only to feel more drip from his brow... maybe he hadn't come out of that fight as unscathed as he thought after all...<br>
<br>
"<b>I'm working on it</b>!" Rudolph snapped. "<b>And when exactly do you expect me to make negotiations? After we get killed by that giant bug or between getting stabbed repeatedly by gangs on lunatics</b>?"<br>
<br>
<br>
With a growl, he turned to look at the white clad thief. "<b>Clover, I'm trying to keep you alive here. Fuck knows if it is even possible at this point. And fuck knows you sure as hell ain't making it easy. I'm on your side here. I'm trying to be. But with everything this place is throwing at us, we are running out of choices save to work with those we don't want to. That stone won't be worth anything to you dead, but that doesn't mean we can't salvage this situation to get something out of it. Work with me, girl</b>," Rudolph extended a hand out to her, looking her in the eyes. <b>"I mean to get you out of this alive, so help me help you. Let me carry the rock. If you can't get you at least something out of this, I'll give it back and leave you alone. I promise. Either way we have a better shot of making it out of here working together</b>." <br>
<br>
Rudolph was sincere too. He wasnt on anybodies side. But if he hadn't shown by now that he was trying to help keep her alive... then nothing would show it. As he spoke, he shot a glance at Arthur. As if to say <i>'work with me here, man</i>'. Surely Arthur was in some position to make an offer that would sweeten the deal aside from 'I won't kill you'. "<b>Together. We can get out of here together. Then when this shitstorm is behind us. We can hash this out in a way that benefits all of us</b>." Surely Arthur could see some value to that. Even if he were a madman. He at least seemed to be a pragmatic. <br>
<br>
Speaking of madman. Now entered some man who was crawling with bugs and like. Seriously. Like seriously what the fuck. Rudolph would have much rather dealt with the one eyed gang leader. Dayle at least had sense enough to be as confused about all this as Rudolph was. And right now, Rudolph was in complete agreement with him, even if Rudy was ready to go toe to toe with him just a moment ago.<br>
<br>
Rudolph turned his sword from Dayle to Jason. "<b>What he said, get fucking bent. Can't you see we are trying to kill each other in peace? Or not kill each, as I would prefer</b>." What the fuck? Like what? On top of everything else now some new bloke was coming in making threats. "<b>If you are in the mood for killing, go kill those fuckers</b>." He said angrily, pointing over towards the two goons squaring off against Baxter. "<b>If you want to talk, then wait your fucking turn or go say hello to that giant ass mosquito thing for me. Otherwise, can you just not throw fuel in this already blazing fire?</b>"<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Mechanical summary:<br>
<br>
Rudolph is trying to convince Clover to hand over the stone to Rudolph<br>
<br>
Intelligence B, if that matters.<br>
<br>
Spending a Luck point to ensure a positive outcome.<br>
<br>
<br>
May effect Arthur as well, as he is trying to negotiate an good deal for both parties too.<br>

Chaos and fighting. Everything spiraling and people snapping at him. All this death and destruction and threats, but Jason wasn't even slightly disturbed or bothered by it. He simply listened and sighed. Clearly they wouldn't be talking to him right now. Which was not ideal. Looking to Dayle, who was a bit more than Jason cared to deal with "<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">Well, you are quite ornery.</span>" He then turned his Rudolph.<br>
<br>
Jason rolled his eyes at the man. That one was vulgar and rude. Of course he didn't understand why everybody was freaking out anyways. It was just a little chaos. Of course, he understood that he wouldn't get the answer that he was looking for so long as they were tied up in this situation they found themselves in. With that in mind, he decided to do something about it. He turned a bit, facing the two dragon hunters that were engaged with Baxtor "<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">Fine then. Just keep calm.</span>"<br>
<br>
Nonchalantly, he started to take steps towards the Dragon hunters. The insects following suit. He looked down at his precious bugs and knew that he had to get things going. When his eyes returned to them, a smile formed on his lips "<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">Distract them for me. Only attack when you have an opening. Other than that, scatter.</span>" He glanced to the Caustic Spitters behind him "<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">Lay down fire for them.</span>"<br>
<br>
With a swift motion he pointed and the insects started. The Vilpincer's and Crypticrawler's dashed and skittered towards the two dragon hunters, weaving in and out like a well oiled pack. The Caustic Spitters spread out on either side of Jason, preparing a bit before each one started to fire their biochemical bullets at them. All the while Jason continued to walk towards them.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Rowan's shields were pretty good, but they couldn't block out every hit that she got. The accidental hit she had received  caused Rowan's body to ache, but it was a pain she could shake off. She had work to do anyway- protecting Arthur, and now the Dragon Noble. Arthur's call had caused her to turn her head- spotting Baxtor, alone and looking like he needed help. She wasn't sure why he had separated himself from the group, but she had to help him, especially on Arthur's orders. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Will do."</span> Rowan said to Arthur, a flash of annoyance at having to turn her attention away from the thief and her companion. She seemed to like digging holes for herself, as she made herself another enemy by slashing the eye of one of those gang members- attacking him first out of nowhere. Her companion didn't seem as absolutely nuts as the thief- Clover, her companion called her- seemed just as tired of her shit as everyone else was, and wanted to live. He seemed much more reasonable than Clover, which meant maybe, if needed, they could work together. <br>
<br>
The stone seemed to attract all sorts of types, because a man who looked to be controlling more than ten bugs appeared- not to mention a giant-ass bug that would probably make the bug man swoon or something. Though if she could summon bugs herself, she supposed she too would love to control the giant-ass behemoth squashing people, that looked to be possibly heading towards them. At least the man with the gun was helping out, and hadn't decided to shoot her at the moment. She wouldn't be surprised if other people went to look for Clover and the crap stone that had sent what seemed like the whole of the Underbelly into chaos over it. Judging from the enormous bug, it was a shit stone that didn't keep out monsters that well, if the ginormous bug was anything to go by. He seemed to threaten them, but it it seemed to lack a little bit of bite, as Bug Man...turned to give cover fire to Baxtor. A surprise for sure, but a welcome one. She didn't like creepy crawlies all that much, but this was an exception, considering he seemed to be on Team Academic's side for now. <br>
<br>
The man with the bugs was laying down cover fire, enough to give her the opening she desperately needed. Rowan gave the bug man a nod of appreciation before slipping away- using the distraction to get as close to Baxtor as she needed to work her magic. Luckily for him, she was close enough to this newcomer, the bugs he so evidently commanded, Baxtor, and those random assholes threatening Baxtor- making sure they were all close enough before she worked her magic. Until he proved himself to be a threat, he would receive the benefits that came with helping out. If he decided to turn on her...that was a thought that would come later.<br>
<br>
She summoned her shields (Mage Armor E, 0 Post Cooldown), wrapping them around herself and four other allies. Baxtor (or Dragon Noble, as they hadn't exchanged names yet), Jason (or as he hadn't introduced himself, Bug Man), herself, and the closet two bugs that were giving her cover fire were wrapped in her barrier magic. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Dragon! Let's go! It's time to go!"</span> Rowan called out to him, hoping Baxtor would get the hint and get his ass over to her and Arthur- where he wouldn't be so vulnerable.<br>
<br>
<br>
On top of the Bug Man giving Baxtor cover, Rowan cast the only offensive magic she knew. Two shields wrapped around the dragon hunters' heads, (Mass Blackout, Grade D, 1 Post Cooldown), pressing against their face like a plastic bag being thrown over their heads, causing them to suffocate- an equally effective distraction as the one Jason was doing with his bugs.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><b>Lin Beaurgarde</b><br>​</div>Lin definitely took a wrong turn somewhere.<br>
<br>
He was currently in an underground city, searching for information. But everything had a cost here, and he seems to have misplaced his wallet. So Lin was forced to keep an ear out for a way out of here, and also any info about The Dragon. All he was hearing though, were whispers about some sort of stone that had been stolen.<br>
<br>
And now, whispers that the one who stole this stone had been found, and there was a gang war going on for possession of the stone. In fact, two people whispering about this had just run off. Together. In the same direction others were running off. <i><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">'Definitely not suspicious at all.'</span></i> Lin thought, before discreetly following.<br>
<br>
Eventually, he found a absolute sea of people, hacking and slashing and burning each other. The smell was nauseating. Wait... It wasn't the smell that was making him sick, it was the presence of some huge concentration of mana. He was already nearby, his eyes scanned the surrounding area before he pinpointed where it was coming from. Up the street and around the corner, roughly 35-50 feet away.<br>
<br>
But in order to get there, he'd have to fight through part of the crowd.<br>
<br>
Lin donned his mask, and conjured his <b>Mana Blade - Grade E</b>, the blade of shimmering starlight hovering in front of him, ready to be directed. He dove into the crowd, his blade following behind him. Any attacks made against him he blocked or dodged, not that there were many of them. People were to focused on fighting out old grudges than to deal with someone they didn't know and didn't care about.<br>
<br>
Finally Lin made it to the mana concentration. As he approach the group he held his hands up in what he hoped was a friendly manner, Mana Blade lowered to the ground. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Hey there. Mind telling me what that one has on her that is giving off such powerful mana?"</span> Lin asked the group, nodding towards the white clothed girl.<br>

He could smell it, feel it, death, everywhere.<span style="font-size: 15px"> It felt familiar, yet he felt something else as well. Danger. It was dangerous for him to be here! Vasumir was once without match and now even something as mundane as a criminal undergorund posed a threat to him. Truly how he had fallen, all for the chance of living once more. Yet he had to come to this place, to visit inspite of the threats it posed, he knew, there would be nothing that would decide his success in the future more, than what he could only truly seek here: Information about this world. Even if he had to risk his live, he had to gather more information about this world, for there was nothing of greater value to possess than knowledge, that he was certain of. <br>
<br>
If he truly wished to once more reach or even surpass his former heights, he just had to do it and risk it all, he couldn't wait, he knew this world had seen an influx of creatures with seemingly limitless potential, even ones that arrived before him. These creatures and their growth posed by far a greater threat than anything else he could possible imagine in this world, so he had no choice. And fate, oddly enough, seemed to agree. As much as he believed his actions to be right, he knew his search for informations was in essence a desperate act, he wasn't certain what he looked for after all, but it all became clear once he had entered underground completely.<br>
<br>
Whispers. Rumours. A stone had been stolen. One, that evidently was believed to possess abilities grand enough, to create a bloodbath. With each step he took, with each step he went deeper into the underground, the number of corpses increased. And with each passing step, the wounds on the corpses became more and more brutal, some of them had what seemed to be bitemarks, did they go as far as to bite each other? While others were almost beyond recognition, their limbs laying dismembered all over the place, he even saw one or two, whose face was missing! Whatever this stone could do, it definitely made most beings go crazy. <br>
<br>
Was that all the work of the greed of all these sentient beings? Or was it the stone itself? Was fate even guiding him to the stone, or would the stone just be a start for something else? So many questions, yet not a single answer that could be provided at this moment. But he would find, what he was seeking, he just had to keep going.<br>
<br>
And indeed, he had found his destination for now:</span><br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><span style="font-size: 15px">"Hey there. Mind telling me what that one has on her that is giving off such powerful mana?"</span></span><br>
<br>
Just a step more and... he could see it, no, them. A group of people, and, oh my, quite a diverse bunch at that. All of them clearly not common thugs, no, they clearly seemed more capable.<br>
And they had it! So the stone truly had value, beyond it's reputation. Value so great, it was difficult to not feel it seep out. The mana truly felt tremendous compared to most sources he had felt since his arrival, and while that had not been long, it was clear to him, that this concentration of mana was not common in these lands.<br>
<br>
He would have to make a good impression, if he wished to be able to follow what he deemed the strings of fate. Vasumir put on the best of his smiles, for what they were worth, and bowed once, to show respect.<br>
<span style="color: rgb(61, 142, 185)">"</span><span style="color: rgb(84, 172, 210)">Good day, it is truly a pleasure to meet the ones, who fate has guided me too. Am I correct to assume, that the source of which the young sir had asked before about, is the rumoured stone, so many beings have being going crazy about? Pardon me, for asking so brashly."</span><br>
<br>
<b>Impress - Grade E -  Post Cooldown: 1</b><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 15px">Fate had not deceived him, or did it? Only time would truly show him, whether his decision would lead him to eternal rest once more, or allow his ascent to greater heights.</span><br>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1646887324083-png.965586/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/902/902716-fcf109f400f17486e59ed34d5493c1f7.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1646887324083.png" title="1646887324083.png" width="100" height="136" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
The one armed man stared at the ensuing chaos around him, more and more people were popping up around him while a city burned, smoke rising up into the air. Bodies hit the floor all around them, the smell of blood and burning bodies filled his nostrils, a smell he was too familiar with unfortunately. This brought him back to those days he would follow commands like a <i>dog</i>. His eyes stared at this group of men, he didn't know any of them but the leader of them, Dayle. His eyes began to see the faces of people Arthur reaved. For a moment in his vision, ethereal faces appeared with the murders he had carried out. He could still see his target, but these faces appearing was new to him, why was this happening now. He could hear gurgled voices silently trying to make words he wasn't to understand, they finally died down and the faces disappeared. <br>
<br>
Arthur stared at Dayle, yeah Arthur knew Dayle as well as the organization he was a part of. Red Star. Freak? Was that all that the man had? " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">You amateur, freak? Is that what you're going to go with?</span> " Arthur asked, while he didn't want to make the situation worst, Arthur could not help but just be shocked by this insult if you could even call it that, even moving his arm around to show he had control of his arm. Clenching it into a fist. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Dayle. A freak is the correct term for someone such as me. You are in the same as me if not worst. You're the bastard dog of Red Star, or better yet, Red Star's Bastard Dog. I would have hoped you could give a better retort that isn't so... Miniscule compared to what I am staring at. </span>" Arthur's cold amber eyes were locked on Dayle, he knew who he was. Even as the ground shook with the incoming Long Legs in the distance. Screaming and yells were still filling the air. With this strange insect bug man entering the picture and picking a fight with this Red Star bastard amused Arthur a little bit. Especially with their criminal history and very dodgy tactics, they weren't very trustworthy. This insect guy had balls, Arthur had to admit, getting his arm ready to summon his pistol.<br>
<br>
Arthur considered himself a good shot so with these weird insects appearing, Arthur could take out most of the bugs or even summon his spirits to help dissolve the bugs. But that wouldn't hold much merit as that brash man with the thief and Dayle deterred him to go help that damn stuck up dragon noble out with his situation. Hopefully with Rowan over there they could take out those mooks. Arthur would rather not have people in the academy die in his presence as he would be held responsible for it. Die on your own time and not on Arthur's. His eyes moved to the brash man that was involved with the thief, his look showed Arthur that he wanted out of this and the stone out of her reach. Arthur let his hands down, while still having his cold looking eyes he spoke to the thief. " Look, we don't want to hurt you, we just want the stone. That is the cause of all this. If you want to be safe, give him the stone. " While Arthur did want to get the stone away from her, especially with her type of powers that allow her to get away so easily. She looked scared, that was good, she was more likely to comply. But that wasn't necessarily a good thing, she could easily act out and even attack people just like she just blinded one of those Red Star goons. <br>
<br>
But then a couple new faces appeared, " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Are you fucking kidding me... </span>" Arthur muttered under his breath, that caused the white-clothed girl to spin around while whipping her blade towards them, in her scared state she ended up missing but it showed her paranoia and recklessness. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">You two, get the fuck out of here!</span> " Arthur called, these two did not look capable of much to the former hitman. (Lin and Vasumir) " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Does this look safe to you! </span>" Arthur questioned, especially with a gang war happening behind him and in front of him was Long Legs who was in the distance, approaching them , being attracted by the noises the gangs were creating. Arthur could care less for their well-being, he just didn't want more people around to create a bigger mess. <br>

<br>
Clover was freaking out, she was being surrounded. Surrounded! There was so many people after her! After the stone, the Seeing Stone! She needed it, she needed it for her next dinner! This was survival, her life was worth this stone. She felt dizzy, her anxiety getting to her as she lashed out at a group of people approaching, flicking her kunai and chain. Actually taking one of their eyes. This wasn't getting better, hell a couple new people approached her from behind and she lashed out again, her breathing was getting intense, flicking her chain the other way but she ended up missing (Lin and Vasumir). She looked like a caged up animal, a cornered beast. She was ready to attack anything, until she heard Rudy's voice, the only one she was beginning to trust. <br>
<br>
Her eyes looked intense, exhausted, scared. A wild animal, she had been running constantly since the early hours of the same day. Now it was the late afternoon, the Underbelly was getting more and more twisted by the second, it was getting worst, people dying, bodies burning, Long Legs the infamous last Tunneling Strider was now roaming around. Clover stared at Rudy, she pulled her mask down to properly breath, staring at him as he explained that he wanted to help her by taking the Seeing Stone. No... No. NO! She couldn't give it away, this was her survival at stake, her ante. But, she felt very compelled to and trusting of Rudy, with shaky hands, her hand slipped into her bag where she then pulled out the strange smokey black stone. It looked similar to a glass sphere, it's mana was overwhelming. She then placed it in Rudy's hand with shaky and tired hands. She then dropped her knees breathing heavily. <br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1646891982858-png.965607/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/902/902737-47d3187867602545c5fbb4c6983249e8.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1646891982858.png" title="1646891982858.png" width="100" height="125" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
But this... This would be a big mistake. The Stone has been<b> revealed. </b><br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/blue-viscera-zealot-jpg.965608/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/902/902738-4391a6331ddb9d6920f59f84b086da59.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Blue Viscera Zealot.jpg" title="Blue Viscera Zealot.jpg" width="155" height="100" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
In a instant, a face appeared beside Rudy, standing behind him with his head over Rudy's shoulder, staring at the stone in his hand with deadly purple eyes, the eyes of a maniac. " <b><span style="color: rgb(40, 50, 78)">It's so much more beautiful up close.</span></b> " The voice whispered, his attention focused fully on the stone. His voice sounded sickly and strained. The eyes looked up at Rudy. "<b><span style="color: rgb(40, 50, 78)"> Don't you think so, stranger?</span></b> " He asked with a smile, teeth yellow, breath stank of rot and death. The man breathed heavily, his breath was disorienting. Almost in a unnatural way. A dagger would be pressed up to Rudy's neck, with intense pressure. " <b><span style="color: rgb(40, 50, 78)">Thank you, kid, for revealing it. The True Despot will appreciate it.</span></b> " The man whispered. In the corner of Rudy's eyes he would see hooded figures appear from the shadows. Dayle and his gang would see the black cloaked with dark red linings along the edges of each seam. Something would elude to that the red wasn't just dye. He stood behind Rudy while these weird men followed the hooded figures, half naked and dual wielding zealots that couldn't speak, stained blood was seen where their mouths were. Their traumatized eyes stared at whatever living thing that wasn't them with hatred. They probably had much to say but no actual way to speak, but show they could through actions, the actions of their knives. <br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/blue-viscera-slug-jpg.965613/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/902/902743-59c1fb0ace26659ddb80a4559eeb1994.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Blue Viscera Slug.jpg" title="Blue Viscera Slug.jpg" width="100" height="142" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
Around Dayle, one of his Red Star minions was grabbed, the one that had just been blinded was snatched by strong hands of these weird fanatics, with his screams came the stabbings, a couple more of the similar dressed men came running over and began to stab this newly-blinded man. Blood poured all over the ground as insides hit the ground, the body was unrecognizable in a instant with these sharp and wicked knives. Their hoods lifted to showed deformed faces, dropping their knives they began to scoop gore into their hands and scuff them into their mouths. Their faces looked like they had been through a meatgrinder, when their mouths opened, their tongues were missing. They enjoyed their feast. The groans and growls of enjoyment from the flesh of the Red Star sacrifice.<br>
<br>

<br>
The two dragon hunters both scoffed at his remark of nobles. "<b> Do we look like we care, Dargon? A dragon is still a dragon, noble or not, we do not care. Your blood and scales are property by the Dictate of Scales.</b> " They both moved with deadly intent, their movements sharp and swift. But they were not expecting Rowan to appear along with a insect master. When Jason's insects appeared, they backed up seeing they were quickly outnumbered. " Well this situation immediately became a turntable. " The polearm hunter spoke, he attained a stance holding his polearm towards the bugs that came forth, slamming it on the ground as they came near, showing his readiness.<br>
<br>
The swordsman that held a a strange glowing amulet watched the bugs approach, he began whispering quietly as his amulet glowed, two golden runes appeared below both the swordsman and the polearm wielder. These runes glowed brightly as they were surrounded, a vision of a shield appeared before the two for a moment before dissipating. It looked like they were safe for a moment until. <b>Mass Blackout</b>. Both of their heads were surrounded by a shield, pressing against their faces as the spell broke and fell, they dropped their weapons, panicking now. It was clear they were unexperienced and never probably have been in a situation like this. Jason's smaller companions would see their opening and quickly overwhelm their prey thanks to Rowan's help. These two prejudice hunters would meet a grisly fate down here in the Underbelly where no one would know of their deaths. <br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1646895566249-png.965629/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/902/902759-b64f04fee2c5f0d31be531d5bb0d2395.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1646895566249.png" title="1646895566249.png" width="136" height="100" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
Long Legs could be heard crying out, in the distance, ever approaching closely. But at the revelation of the Seeing Stone, there was a loud screeching call, the at the feeling of the earth moving for a moment. while these strange people made their presence, there was loud and rough rumbling underneath everyone's feet. Rudy would feel the knife pull off his neck for a moment, the the hooded figure quickly moved away, in front of Rudy he would see a large mass pop out of the ground, it was Long Legs, he had tunneled through the ground to find the Seeing Stone, whatever the Seeing Stone was, it was revealing a lot of mana into their air, so much that this strange people appeared and Long Legs appeared and even was acting aggressive. Rudy would have to put it away to stop it's effects. Long Legs began slamming it's legs all around itself, impaling these half naked people and hooded figures. <br>
<br>
One of Dayle's men were impaled by the random legs, and he quickly disappeared in the dust that was now thrown into the air. Blinding people momentarily. Arthur ended up moving away quickly, Long Legs, uh, legs prevented him from moving to either Rowan or Rudy. His hand grabbed Lin and Vasumir and pulled them out of the dust and preventing them from earning a quick or painful death from Long Legs, Vasumir would note that Arthur's ghostly appendage that glowed purple was cold as death. While pulling Lin and Vasumir, Arthur would get the two to whatever safety was left, which he ended up running into Scylla in her concealment thanks to all the dust in the air. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Fucking hell... great, three new people. </span>" Arthur moved away from the three and in his ghostly appendage a pistol would conjure out of thin air. <b>Spiritual Ordnance: Basic - E - 2 Post Cooldown. </b>He pointed at the three, while using his hand to wipe dust from his eyes. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Don't you two or three fucking move. I will shoot you and make sure you don't walk out of this shitty city again. </span>" Arthur threatened, he couldn't see well but he could make out their figures. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Who the are you three and why the hell are you here for? That damn Seeing Stone everyone wants it for?</span> " He asked.<br>
<br>
Rudy and Clover would be forced to move towards Dayle and away from Long Legs, the maniacal people were chasing after Clover and Rudy but would quickly be picked up by Long Legs in a quick and stabby fashion. While one was closing in on them, Clover used her kunai and chain to swing her blade around and slice their achilles. Causing them to fall and become quick work of Long Legs luckily. Clover would then push Dayle out of her way, " <b>Move! I ain't dying here to a damn bug!</b> " She would rush into the more downtown area of the Underbelly, their only option besides Long Legs, uh, legs.<br>
<br>
Rowan, Baxtor and Jason would be able to see Long Legs frenzy from not that far away, they didn't get hit by the dust cloud she created but they could see that her legs would stab anyone moving around in her pretty large vicinity. The only place for them to go would be into a more secluded area where homes and houses were at. Their only option that isn't long Legs frenzy, Jason would feel her pain, but it was a more rageful pain. A frenzy, it was that Stone that had everyone on a spree. It needed to be rid of here in order to make sure Long Legs was safe and no longer in pain.<br>

Dayle kept on throwing insults after insults even when the insect boy had left to help somewhere else, there was no stopping his mouth. His attention was only caught, when he heard the glowing-armed man made a remark from his insult. He faced him, and his eyes were already shooting glares at him. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">The fuck did ya say?</span>" Red Star's Bastard Dog? "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">YA FUCKIN' WHAT?!</span>" "<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Boss</span>!" "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">YA CALLIN' ME A FUCKIN'-</span>" "<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">BOSS!</span>" Dayle felt a fist crash against his jaw. "<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Get a grip already!</span>" Zeke pulled Dayle, and straightened him up. "<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Situation's bad enough already boss, cool it!</span>" Dayle blankly looked at his own men, who were already uneasy with everything that's happening, and his own sudden outburst didn't make it any better. Dayle felt as if cold water washed over him. His nerves tightened, and his vision wasn't red anymore. He took a deep breath, collected himself, and uttered with a small voice. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Sorry 'bout that. My bad.</span>" His crew nodded at him in understanding. Dayle sent a glare to Arthur's way, crossed his arms, and spat on the ground.<br>
<br>
They were starting to negotiate with the thief, but then two more newcomers came unannounced. Although he despised Arthur, he had to agree with his words. They were causing more ruckus than its worth. His blood pressure was once again rising, but he managed to restrain himself this time. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Okay, listen you goddamn bozos. I don't know if you know what the fuck's happening, but you lil' shits doing all this greeting stuff is really doin jackshit!</span>" He spat out, his voice already starting to rise. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">You guys are either fuckin' blind, or-</span>" suddenly, men with black robes and their entourage of half-naked executioners straight out of a horror tale appeared. He and his crew was almost instantly on high alert, but it was too late as one of his men, the blinded one, were dragged and stabbed to death. Too shocked to react, all of them had to see their brother be devoured before the information managed to process inside Dayle's mind. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">YA FUCKIN' BITCHES!</span>" Dayle unfurled his chains, and just as he was about to attack, he felt tremors. Strong tremors. He steadied himself, his thoughts once again scrambling from the continuous sudden turn of events. What the hell is happening? That's when he remembered. The screech. The fucking bug.<br>
<br>
<b><i>BOOM!</i></b><br>
<br>
The ground near Dayle suddenly burst out, an eruption of rubble and dust filling the air and taking Dayle aback. All of them coughed, the dust making it harder to breath and see. Then one of his men was impaled with a sickening squelch, and his eyes locked with Dayle's for a moment before he was pulled into the air and away from their sights. "<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Boo<span style="font-size: 12px">ooo</span><span style="font-size: 10px">oss</span><span style="font-size: 9px">ss</span>!</span>" The scream echoed inside Dayle's head, his hand subconsciously reaching out. The his eyes darted at the... thing before him. The bug has essentially separated the group, and only three of his men was left. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">God fucking damnit!</span>" There was no fighting this thing, even Dayle would die just from one stab of that thing. His head was swarming with thoughts, only to be jostled by a sudden bump. It was the thief, pushing him aside as she darted away and proclaimed to survive. Her running immediately kickstarted the gears in his head, and he looked at the man holding the stone. The dust still impaired his vision, but knew where he stood relative to where he was. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">What the fuck you waiting for?! Get a move on!</span>" Dayle followed with whirling his chains into a chaotic cyclone, before whipping it like a snake slithering to its prey, the chains aiming at the other man. (<b>Catch 'em Lackin [E] - 1 Post CD</b>)<br>
<br>
He then turned to dash to the thief's direction, his remaining three men following after him. He ran with gritted teeth, indignant from the events that has happened so fast. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Those fucking bastards... they sent me to death!</span>" The Red Star. What did they gain by sending him here? Dayle had a faint idea, and he'd need to get answers from these people if what he thought was true. But before that...<br>
<br>
Number 1 priority: survive.<br>
<br>
"<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Zeke!</span>" "<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Yeah boss?</span>" Dayle ran beside him "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Lead the way!</span>" "<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">On it boss!</span>" Zeke took the front, while Dayle took the back and his remaining two men took to the flanks. One had the shoddy sword that didn't seem like it would help, while Zeke still had the terrible shield in front of him. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Slow down!</span>" Dayle yelled at the running thief. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">I can see that you're already at your limit! You're better off grouping up with us and your guy!</span>" Although he didn't know these two people, his best chance at survival was grouping up against the common enemies; namely those robed fuckers, the big long thing, and the others who are still after the artifact. At this point, he was not going to risk it for some artifact that caused all of this mess. It wasn't worth it at all. He'd rather throw it down a cliff if he had the choice, but it seemed like those upper people after it won't let him be if he did that. So for now, he was going to cooperate. It's the only way. If anything was going to be in his way, his chains were ready to lash out. He made sure to be in decent speed so if the other guy with the stone ever needs help, he has enough leeway to stop himself and throw aid his way.<br>

<br>
First, he had asked an innocent question, then some random person piggybacked off his observation in order to look impressive. Then, the object in question was revealed, causing some insane cultist wannabes to appear, stab, and devour someone. Then! A giant bug appeared and started rampaging, someone had grabbed Lin and that person who was trying to look impressive, bumped into another, pointed a gun at his face, and here we are!<br>
<br>
Lin sighed, and took off his mask, storing it in his jacket, shaking out his blonde hair. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Look, I got lost and ended up down here, and then I sensed an abnormally large concentration of mana over where everyone was."</span> Lin said with tired eyes, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"I'm assuming that's that stone? I don't even know what that thing is, I've heard whispers of about it, but I don't know what it does or anything. I just wanted to know cause anything with that high of mana concentration?

	</div></div></div>The situation was escalating, and at what an atsonishing speed. It started, when he was assaulted as a response to his greetings. Oddly enough, it just... missed, no need to even dodge. Strange. He had gauged, that based on the initial form and movement of the attack, it should have hit him without active intervention. But it did not. Her initial form did not persist, it changed into something, more resembling of an animal franticly lashing out. Was that a sign of fear? Was his appearance that hideous? His thoughts were soon disturbed by a voice: <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"You two, get the fuck out of here!" </span>Another response from the group, from a seemingly young man with what appeared were orange eyes. At least he didn't attack on first sight.. <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"Does this look safe to you!"</span><br>
<br>
Vasumir couldn't respond. Not, because of the man's words. No. It was because of what happened behind the young man. What had unfolded before his eyes. Absolute madness. It was even greater madness, than anything else he had witnessed so far.<br>
<br>
Hooded beings showed themselves, covered in blood. He felt it from their gaze, all these beings desired, was to destroy. These beings first victim was a man close by. Not long after the man had been grabbed, even more of these hooded beings appeared, all showing the same eagerness to kill. And murder, they did, even going far and beyond that. For they stabbed at their entrapped target, and stabbed, and stabbed. Flesh, intestines, blood, all was forced out by the assault. And once the beings had enough, once their target was beyond recognition, they went even further. They removed any remains of the man, not by carrying it away, no, by eating, whatever had been left. They devoured, what had been their target.<br>
<br>
Vasumir however had no time to be shocked. Tremors. And then it appeared. A giant animal, it's legs several times greater than any of it's other body parts combined. An animal, resembling an overgrown bug. He had heard, that creatures commonly found in ones one world, were quite often far bigger here if they called this world their home as well. He had not expected for there to be such a huge discrepancy, to see such a gigantic bug. And soon after it's appearance, the bug showed that it was neither friendly nor that it's size was just for show. It impaled several of the hooded beings. It's enormous mass, caused the dust all around to be forced into the air, strongly impairing Vasumir's vision.<br>
<br>
The young man pulled his arm. His and that of the young sir who he had met not long ago. The man's hands were corpse like, it felt, as if they held not a kindling of warmth in them. But while Vasumir was occupied with these thoughts, it suddenly came to a halt. <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"Fucking hell... great, three new people."</span> The young man had run into another outsider, as it seemed.<br>
<br>
In spite of that he seemed to quickly regain his composure, moving away from Vasumir and conjuring something in his hands. Something mechanic, unkown to Vasumir, what was htat? The man pointed with it, at him and the two other newcomers. So it was a weapon? <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"Don't you two, No, three fucking move. I will shoot you and make sure you don't walk out of this shitty city again."</span> Shoot? So that thing was a wand? Vasumir could not continue his thoughts however, for they were interrupted by questions from the young man: <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"Who the fuck are you three, and what the hell are ya here for? It's that damn Seeing Stone everyone wants, isn't it?"</span><br>
<br>
<i>That was certainly a reaonable assumption to make</i>. Vasumir would have to tread carefully, otherwise he just might come to experience what the wand of this young man was capable of. And that was at least in his current situation, not something Vasumir would have liked to.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(61, 142, 185)">"My apologize, first, let me introduce myself as Vasumir."</span> He bowed once more. <span style="color: rgb(61, 142, 185)">"Now to answer your question, I am not here for the Stone you spoke of, No. I only heard about it once I had entered this place myself. As for why I am truly here, I can only disclose to you, that my original purpose was to gather information. But as coincidence or fate dictated, I came to stumble upon your little group. Now you need not believe my words. What you however already may have rightfully concluded, is that I am at least in my current state, no threat to you whatsoever."</span> Now it was all up to whether the man believed him. Or at least whether the man decided that a fight with him, would be a poor decision.</div>

</div></div>In this chaos, in this panic, it was hard for Jason to distinguish emotions on a normal basis. However, there wasn't anything he didn't know about insects. He spent his entire life understanding them. So, when a jolt of pure misunderstanding, confusion and rage entered his head, he new immediately it was coming from an insect. He stopped, allowing his minions to continue distracting and fighting. His focus was now entirely on the inward self. What was this rage? He had never felt something like this. Especially coming from an insect. What was happening? It was different. Something about magic? He could sense the confusion. What was causing the confusion? He turned his head, stopping when he saw Long Legs, in pain and in a frenzy.<br>
<br>
It hurt him. Seeing this magnificent creature in so much pain. Feeling the pain that this creature was going through. It broke his heart. He could tell enough that there was some sort of strange manna going on that he couldn't comprehend. He didn't have the skills to comprehend such things, so all he got was what he could feel through the the almost primal insect. He wanted to help, but what could he do. He couldn't track or tell what was causing such pain in this creature. Why was he so weak? Yet again, the insects had more control over their lives than he could. They were stronger than him.<br>
<br>
He grit his teeth and turned away, angry and confused, sharing the pain of such a wonderful creature. It boiled his blood and made him so enraged. Lifting his head to watch as his insects scattered about and continued to fire down on the two dragon hunters. With a wave of his hand, the insects attack pattern changed. Taking on a much more aggressive Style. The faster Crypticrawlers skittered about in a frenzy, taking the opportunity to swipe at their legs when there was an opening, a sort of hit-and-run strategy. The Vilpincer's raised there tail, jumping back and forth as they snapped the pincer on their tail at the hunters. The Caustic Spitters limiting the hunters movements with near constant bombardment. Jason himself glared angrily at them. In his frustration, they would be taking the brunt of his fury.<br>

Baxtor watched dumbfounded scratching his head, he totally expected to get his ass handed to him but unexpectedly they became bug chow. He shrugged then turned to Rowan before speaking "well I suppose we better hoof it before we become casualties." After he finished speaking he went towards the houses in his fastest pace yet, a bit of a jog run, making sure rowan would be able to keep up with him. Baxtor went through his pockets before pulling a  bit of hard black bread biscuits and chewing on one as he ran. He looked around best he could to try to get his bearing while also sticking close to rowan not wanting to be singled out again.</div>

<br>
<i>Scylla</i><br>
<br>
<br>
As the witch went about the crowds concealed in shadow she’d stride through where the corpses were much more dense, as there was hardly any fighting in these areas. One of the half slain brigands would suddenly latch onto her boot.<br>
Scylla barely flinched, as her amber orbs slowly turned to the ground to behold the gruesome sight before her.<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“D-dont let me die! I don't want to die!” </span>He’d gurgle with entrails pulsing on the cobbled street.<br>
An empty expression came over Scyllas face.<br>
<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">“Should have thought of death before going to war.” </span>A ghostly essence silently flowed again through her staff.<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“P-please..”</span><br>
<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">“But, I'll take pity on you.” </span>Finally splattering the criminal's face with wrathful necrotic force.<br>
Scylla sighed and looked ahead, as she kicked away the corpse's hands enveloped about her feet. It was quite the scene, as she inspected those involved in the blood shed, there appeared to be many varieties of groups after someone, or something. A woman was seemingly surrounded by pleading faces. The dark mage would start once again silently as the war raged on, finally stopping when the white clothed woman revealed something in her possession.<br>
<br>
Scylla would feel a sudden pull, the mana in her body seemed to resonate with the black orb. It wasn't a feeling she was used to, but she assumed it was this powerful item, perhaps it was a weapon. Considering this orb had many suitors after it, she deemed it a fool's errand to claim it for herself. A wise thought equally matched by ambition, as she imagined what could be should this item be hers. If it was indeed a weapon.<br>
<br>
It was then that the giant creature in the distance began to tunnel beneath the Underbelly, sending disorienting tremors through the ground as it split through the dense bed rock of the Underbelly. A few damaged buildings collapsed in its wake as people screamed to their inevitable doom onto the cobbled street. Some would lose their footing while Scylla managed to keep her posture by leaning on her staff. It was as if the gigantic insect was crazed by the orb. The creature then had all but exploded onto the surface preceding the white robed woman and the man next to her sending volumes of dust and debris into the air.<br>
<br>
Scylla began to cough, as the plume enveloped everything in its path, covering her face with the bottom of her cloak. The witch muttered a spell as she began to retreat catching glimpses of impaled bodies flying through the air. A horrid sight which Scylla seemed to not be very surprised about. After all, it was the scummy Underbelly, and death was common along with its varied methods. It was difficult to see through the dense dust, as the witch did her best to cover her face. Finally determined to make an escape, she started towards the nearest alleyway but her course was quickly interrupted as someone unknown crashed into her. She let out a squeal before staggering and regaining her posture. She’d scowl at the man.<br>
<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">“ Who the hell do you think you are?!”</span> An instinctual, and catty remark as a result of the sudden shove. Almost even tempted to shove him back, but before she could consider it, Scylla realized she was with two others, she’d turn to look at them then back at the amber eyed man, who piqued her interest as his arm glowed with a ghostly hue, before suddenly finding herself staring down the barrel of a gun. She hadn't noticed but the hood of her cloak had fallen back, exposing her silky silver hair to the environment. She resisted any thoughts of intimidation. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">“I just so happened to stumble upon this mess.” </span>She’d cross her arms and look at him dead in the eyes. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">“Seeing stone? Is that what this is all about?” </span>She said as she twirled her index finger referring to all the fighting and death. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">“You outlaws could fight over just about anything.”</span>  She wanted to seem uninterested, considering he came off as very stressed and on edge. Noticing the many bullet holes in the corpses before, she assumed it was probably him.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Being that close to the hunters enabled Rowan to hear what was going on- that he was being harassed by idiots who were spouting nonsense. With Jason's help, she was exceptionally pleased to be able to help Baxtor, to ward off these idiots mentioning something about a "Dictate of Scales." Sounded to her like some cult crap. She was able to save Baxtor, no matter how weirdly stuffy and surprisingly uncaring he was about the whole situation. <br>
<br>
It wasn't that hard to notice the fact that Jason was getting angry at...something. Something she had to address, to keep the unity of the group intact. An angry person didn't think straight, and Jason looked like he was becoming enraged. She wasn't about to have him turn against them so soon. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Hey, I don't know what's wrong, but whatever's pissing you off, we can help with that when we're in a safer spot. Come on."</span> Rowan said to Jason with kindness in her voice, not entirely sure why he was getting upset. Something had caused it, but this wasn't the time to address feelings. This was a time for action, and for getting back to the group. Strength in numbers was important in a free-for-all like this. She couldn't help but sigh at the sight of the noble dragon jogging and eating as if they had time for this. He really had to pick and choose the times he took things seriously, as if he wasn't paying attention, he would be squashed. He really seemed to not care what was going on, that his life was in danger as much as theirs was, that if Jason and her hadn't been there, he could have been killed. She really wasn't sure what was up with the nobility, if that was the case. <br>
<br>
At least she had accomplished her mission, saving Baxtor, and now it was time to bring Jason and Baxtor back to Arthur and the Stone. She kept herself in between Jason and Baxtor, jogging along with them so her shields could be kept up for the three of them. <br>
She would use her barrier (Magic Barrier F, Multiple Post Cooldown) to bat aside people, a basic barrier to remove some obstacles in the way as they took the long way around. When her shields eventually gave out, she would cast (Mage Armour E, 0 Post Cooldown), to keep  their armor up for as long as possible. Jason would hopefully provide cover for them to get through safely with his gun bugs. <br>
<br>
 The trio hugged the sides of the houses, trying to avoid the GIANT ASS BUG that could squash them dead, even with her shields up, which could protect them within reason. Rowan's goal was to take the long way around to get to the duo, as he had been receptive to the idea of giving them the stone. Then, the stone would be delivered to Arthur. But first, they had to catch up to Rudy. From this distance, it wasn't hard to see that more assholes had shown up out of nowhere- people wanting this goddamn stone. She would desperately want to destroy the stone- if she didn't have money and an Academy potential acceptance on the line while also not knowing the full consequence of what the stone's absence would do. <br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">More and more people lining up to stick their noses in where it wasn't wanted. This had to be amongst the most ridiculous days he ever had. With everybody and their mother butting in. But thankfully it was made all the better when he felt the cool weight of the orb in his hand. His fingers wrapped around it as Clover pulled her trembling hands away. <br>
<br>
This... everyone was after this. He did not know if it was his imagination or not, if it was from this stone or not... but he could practically feel it vibrating his very being. Now, Rudolph had no idea what mana was. Or what it felt like. Or looked like. But while holding this thing... and someone told them this was a powerful object, which they had, then he would believe them. Everything felt heavy around him. How could you explain that you could feel something imperceptible? That was impossible. But what was impossible at this point?<br>
<br>
He let out a breath he didn't even know he had been holding. He had it...no more running around now. No more convincing. He could negotiate a way out of this and get him and Clover out of this mess. "<b>Alright... now, let's get ou-</b>"<br>
<br>
Then he saw the man. And everything seemed to stop as the cold edge of a dagger was pressed up against his neck. How? How did he get so close? Arthur had been there. Trigger happy Arthur who would shoot a mouse if it got too close. How did this man just appear? And others too... more of them. Maybe something like what Clover could do... why was he even thinking about it? How wouldn't change the fact that he was about to get his throat slit wide open. And just like that, he felt the edge move away and the dark man's body move away.<br>
<br>
It had long since passed when Rudolph had thought to himself it couldn't get any worse. Even now. Even all that was going on, he was sure as shit that it would get worse. Even if he was having his throat slit, he was sure something would somehow make it worse. So when he was freed, he could only ponder in that fraction of a second "now what?". <br>
<br>
The cynicism was validated, as no sooner did he take a half a step away from the man, did the ground nearby erupt. The gargantuan bug with its murderous legs. Legs that rained down like spikes to impale those mysterious figures around him. How he managed to avoid them was beyond him. In this moment his mind didn't care how. All his brain called for was frantic scrambling away from this thing. He had just enough time to pull Clover to her feet before their location was compromised by a giant spike of a chitinous death. <br>
<br>
In moments, they were fleeing for their lives with the robed and nakey men in hot pursuit. Somehow having fallen in step with the eye-patched fellow. Well fuck this. Clover was already being Clover and Dayle was apparently being Dayle. "<b>Quit your bitchin and run!</b>" He called. But he wasn't wrong. He knew Clover had long sense been running. He had no doubt that she would collapse soon if this kept up. Even he couldn't keep up indefinitely. Especially if he ended up having to carry her because of it. <br>
<br>
"<b>Clover! Stay with us! I can't keep you alive if you run off and keel over in the arms of them bastards!"</b> He called to her. He was sure he could keep up with her. But this dude with them, well he could swing a weapon, so a good a person to keep with as any. <br>
<br>
Now all that was left was this.stupid stone... everywhere they turned these folk were finding them. And it had to be this stone. Everything was Homing in on this stupid stone.  It had to be. He tried shoving it in his pocket. But he didn't think that would help much. "<b>Clover! The bag! Give me the bag! We can hide it again!</b>" That had worked before right? So maybe it would work again. The sooner he could get the bag from her the sooner he could shove it in there. Maybe that will keep them from following as easily.<br>

<br>
Through the actions of both Dayle and Rudy telling the white clothes thief, Clover, to slow down due to her exhaustion, the thief listened either out of exhaustion or trust. Most likely exhaustion. Her eyes looked to both Rudy and Dayle, tired eyes. Her legs looked like they were going to buckle with how shaky they were, but she complied. Clover took a deep breath and stood up straight, twirling her kunai and chain. She saw more hooded figures coming their way along with their half naked berserkers, they were chasing after the group, most likely wanting that Stone they held. "<b> Gods damn it. </b>" Clover mumbled as she stepped forward, ready to help fight them off, holding the chain with both hands and pulled her hand along the chain, ice forming where her hand stroked over, mist gliding off the newly formed icicles.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1647407659838-png.967212/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/904/904342-5ad0098cd8f04d9548e2d11ce1e7c311.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1647407659838.png" title="1647407659838.png" width="100" height="142" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
But as Clover was getting ready when Rudy told the thief to hand him the bag, Clover looked over at her confused for a moment thanks to her exhaustion but realized what he was trying to do. Clover let her weapon go for it to hang from one hand as she pulled her bag off her person and tossed it over to Rudy for him to catch then walked over to Dayle and his people to help. But soon realizing that there was more than cultists coming than there was that they had, which was five. Clover witnessed Dayle slice down a cult member with his bladed chains, the chains razor their way across the bloodthirsty man's chest, face and neck. Cutting deep.<br>
<br>
Blood gushed out of his wounds, immediately creating a pool of blood, one of his eyes fell onto the ground staring up at Dayle as the body fell on top of said eye. Dayle would turn to see Clover having come back but she had stopped in her place, "<b> There's too many, we need to get to a place with better defenses or just need to escape them in general.</b> " Clover explained.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1647407674042-png.967213/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/904/904343-47d3187867602545c5fbb4c6983249e8.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1647407674042.png" title="1647407674042.png" width="100" height="125" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
A cult member attacked Zeke, slamming two rusty and broken daggers into the shield, laughing manically, without a tongue to use so it was only gargling as wide and crazed eyes stared at Zeke. The cultist kept slamming knives into said shield as the shield was getting pulled down with each slam. With more coming behind the attacking berserker, they had only so much time.<br>
<br>
Rudy was able to get the artifact into the bag, within moments of closing the bag, the influx of mana stopped or at least calmed down. Mana would barely be felt now upon it being covered with this strange bag that felt like a box with straps. But no time to think about that, they had cultists to worry about, behind Rudy he would see a market place alley for them to head down, it was their only choice unless they wanted to fight the incoming cultists that had the numbers and definitely the cruelty.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/bazaar-or-something-jpg.967203/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/904/904333-56ebc7900f5e2a15ce9828770c0a11ef.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="bazaar or something.jpg" title="bazaar or something.jpg" width="137" height="100" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
Within this marketplace, it would be worst looking than the last one they were running through earlier when Rudy had picked up Clover and slung her over his shoulder. There was still panicking people and civilians fighting each other over idiotic stuff or specific reasons equally as stupid with what is going on. Each kiosk was rundown and pathetic looking, it was a miracle that they stood up. This would be a good way to get away, hopefully.<br>

<br>
 Jason would feel what Long Legs was feeling, thanks to his close relation to bugs. Long Legs would be able to pull Jason into her mind, he would be blind thanks to the amount of powerful mana in the air, Jason would share her feelings of rage, confusion and terror. Rage for how much mana was being produced into the air, thanks to her sensitivity to mana. Her confusion of what was causing this much mana to be produced and where it was coming from, Jason would see from her perspective for a moment that she was blinded by it, not being able to move or see clearly, her only option was to attack where she thought it was coming from. Terror from not being to tell what was what and if she was being attacked, any lone animal, especially the last of their race, would think they were being attacked.<br>
<br>
What felt like years within a moment would throw Jason back into his own body, these emotions filling his body as well for a moment before they would wear off thanks to now being in his own body, but her sensitivity was worst than other being's were. Almost hyper sensitive. Then, she would begin to calm down, the mass influx of mana was diminishing thanks to another source covering whatever was causing this or it disappearing. Jason would feel Long Legs begin to calm down but still on the attack, the mana was still in the air but she would be okay in time, she needed her space and it was probably best to leave while they still could.<br>
<br>
Jason's bugs attacked the down Dragon Hunters from this so called Dictate of Scales, having Jason's anger in them, his minions would attack and continue to attack the Hunters, sounds of pain and screaming came from the two, blood, bone, gore and skin were all over the ground now. But a strange light would envelope the two then they, their insides, blood and gore would all begin to disappear then they dissipated into mist and ash.<br>
<br>
A decoy! Rowan would know this magic well from her experience as a mercenary, a basic spell in illusionary so that spell that swordsman casted was a spell to either get information on their enemies or to deceive them and make a retreat upon seeing their numbers to gain another vantage point. Either way, these two were still alive, and now on the Hunt. By the look of the spell, these dragon hunters weren't just Hunters but mercs like her if they used that type of spell. It would be basic but at the same time a bit more advanced since the spell was able to create two decoys while the real two got away.<br>
<br>

<br>
Making their way through the abandoned homes and neighborhoods, they would quietly hearing fighting in the distance, screaming that was faint and others that were close by. It seemed the warring has spread here too. The group of three plus bugs would down a few abandoned homes a smaller cloaked figure running through a wore down door.<br>
<br>
Colliding with the door, falling onto the ground with the door. The figure quickly got up and continued racing, seeing the group of three plus bugs, she ran towards Baxtor, Rowan and Jason. The doorway where she thrashed through had a couple of figures run out of it and after the cloaked figure. " <b>Hurry! Grab her!</b> " One yelled at the other. Both of them wore black leather armor, they were mean looking as well as gross looking.<br>
<br>
A evil look in their eyes. Just as the cloaked figure raised a hand, through a alleyway, a third ran into her, grabbing the figure and slamming them on the ground, the figures hood fell revealing them to be a young female, barely the age of 16 by the looks of her. " <b>No! No! Get off me! Let me go!</b> " She screamed and failed as the man got on top of her and pinned her. The other two catching up.<br>
<br>
" <b>Nice job, Geste! Let's take the bitch somewhere more private now. </b>" The two came up smiling, the young girl was darker tone of skin, hair to her shoulders with green eyes. She struggled against her captors, looking to the group, she tried reaching for them, " <b>Help me! Please!</b> " she cried desperately, fear and defiance in her eyes. The group would have to wary of the Dragon Hunters here too. While this may not have been a trap, it didn't mean they wouldn't use sneaky tactics.<br>
<br>
A fourth and fifth came out of the same house the girl broke through, " <b>Oi, you got her? Nice job, boys. </b>" The fourth called as he came walking over, laughing. This place was twisted.<br>

Arthur sighed deeply as they stood in a alleyway away from the impending chaos, staring at these now three interlopers, each having their own quirk, which seemed to be a running theme at this point. His cold amber eyes landed on this so-called Lin, who have revealed his face and even shook his hair out, which to Arthur seemed kind of douchy, then again, Arthur didn't much like people and saw most as problematic. But to Arthur, what seemed most peculiar to the former-hitman was that he said that he felt the large concentration of mana, which could only be that artifact that was stolen, he was hoping Rowan was able to obtain it or even able to get close to it. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Sure. As you say.</span> " Arthur scoffed.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1647485184025-png.967550/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/904/904680-fcf109f400f17486e59ed34d5493c1f7.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1647485184025.png" title="1647485184025.png" width="100" height="136" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
But he wasn't able to see where she went when that large bug went on a rampage from the orb being revealed, which to Arthur now seemed strange, he was beginning to connect dots on that but he shook it off. There was bigger things at the moment, this Lin was most likely sensitive to mana to a certain extent, maybe he could be a fine addition to the Academy. Then he spoke of it possibly being the stone which Arthur just thought of, so it most likely was that answer. Besides, if Arthur is to take Lin's word of him hearing talks of it and just getting lost, that would be one hell of a coincidence. But it could true. By this time, Lin would feel the mana he originally felt now begin to disperse and grow weak, as if something was keeping it away or it had a cover over it to prevent the mana from spilling into the air.<br>
<br>
Now onto this Vasumir, a albino looking man, seemed to be a very regal and proper man compared to Arthur, who wasn't. This honestly surprised Arthur, considering where they were located at, the Underbelly, So Vasumir didn't really fit down here where it was evil and degenerate. Although he spoke of gathering information for his reasons and his reasons alone, Arthur did narrow his eyes at this and pointed his gun at him a lot closer. Again, hallucinations of faces he knew appeared in his vision, Arthur took a deep breath and lowered his gun just barely, showing he wasn't going to shoot him, but didn't mean Arthur wasn't suspicious. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Explaining yourself and not telling me anything would earn yourself a bullet in your leg or between your eyes. </span>" Arthur spoke coldly, " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">On that note, you don't belong here, especially with that speech of yours. Noble-like or proper if you would.</span> "<br>
<br>
Moving onto this rather attractive woman, which earned a look up and down from Arthur before he then focused on her, not taking his eyes off Scylla's. First impression Arthur got from Scylla was snarky, especially with her very independent attitude. Arthur even noticed she almost stepped forward to do something but she didn't, she was smart, that would have earned her a bullet in her gut. She may be eye candy but that didn't mean that Arthur wasn't above shooting someone that would attempt harm on him, didn't matter if it was a attack or a push, Arthur wouldn't have known which it would be. But enough of that, Scylla explained that she happened to stumbled into this mess, which Arthur had doubts about, the next thing she would say gave Arthur suspicions too. Again, in Arthur's visions, more faces of his list of victims appeared, hearing their whispers of last words to Arthur managed to push Arthur away from violence.<br>
<br>
He sighed and fully let his gun down, letting the firearm go, upon doing that it dissipated into thin air like a ghost would, his eyes stared at each of them with his cold eyes. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Alright. I choose to believe you three.</span> " Arthur didn't want to but something was telling Arthur that these three weren't as bad as he was thinking they were, as suspicious as he was. He could offer these three a deal to ensure they wouldn't betray him, by Arthur's way of thinking and how he taught growing up, if you can offer a man a deal too good to be true and they accept it, they'll stay loyal, as long as you can top the next bigger deal.<br>
<br>
" <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">And to ensure you I will not harm you, I offer you three a deal then. In return you will not harm me, but help me instead. </span>" Arthur wouldn't betray them as he was in a pretty terrible situation, especially with Arthur now being separated from Rowan, the only person he could trust... And Baxtor, who Arthur didn't like thanks to his snobby nature. "<span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"> It occurs to me that one of you are sensitive to mana, another one of you looks like a witch and you just scream magic capable. </span>" Arthur pointed at Vasumir with his ghastly appendage. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Help me recover that stone and I can ensure you a spot within the Ryken Academy.</span> " Arthur offered, the Ryken Academy was a pretty high leveled magic school where they allow most magics. Even some dark arts, which is why Arthur is able to use his ghostly abilities.<br>
<br>
Of course before the three could answer Arthur's offer, there was running just behind Arthur, who quickly turned around to see a bloody group of exhausted fighters. Weapons covered in blood and covered in wounds themselves, breathing heavily as they were retreating from battle, fire was beginning to rise over the buildings they were in and now lit up the dark alleyway they were in. Which gained the attention of these bandits. " <b>Oi. We got more of them. </b>" There was about six bandits here, each of them at a different level of exhausted, they each had a scared look in their eye, most likely they were still in a fight or flight mode and saw the four as enemies. Arthur sighed. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Great. Think about my offer, or run off away from these fools. I'll know who isn't interested in my proposal. </span>"<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1647486450206-png.967559/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/904/904689-8dccbdcea09631136a915ebffaa35c36.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1647486450206.png" title="1647486450206.png" width="100" height="100" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
The six bandits got ready and made a line against the four of them, with Arthur in front of the other three, his ghostly arm glowing slightly with strange wisps moving off it, emitting a cold aura. Each of these bandits had a different weapon, a couple had shortswords and shields, another had a greataxe, one held a spear and buckler, the fifth had a whip with nails through it and the final bandit held a assortment of kunai in his hands attached to strings. The good thing was these six looked tired and wounded. It could end badly for the four if they didn't think about this or tried to help each other.<br>

<i>Scylla</i><br>
<br>
As Arthur interrogated the other two, Scylla became a bit uneasy at the sounds that erupted about their surroundings. People were jumping to their fates from burning buildings, and splattered gore among many other things were seen at the end of the alleyway.  She was tempted to run, her amber eyes betraying her uneasiness as she scanned the other two as Arthur spoke. She had only caught their names, but had tuned out the formalities as she took in the violent atmosphere. Her attention then turned as she tilted her head slightly with intrigue at the mana sensitive one, the other seemed to speak colorfully but she wondered how capable he was in this hostile environment. War seemed to spur into motion many things, including unlikely individuals into such orcs' pit of places. Arthur’s gaze finally reached her, she shook her head disapprovingly as he seemed to gawk at her for a moment and scoffed in annoyance.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"What?" </span>she snapped.<br>
<br>
Arthur's eyes seemed to burn through Scylla, his gaze carrying the weight of a killer, but she stood firmly with her arms crossed, unshaken as her weight shifted to the side. The witch quickly found herself in a stare down of sorts but quickly noticed a peculiar detail as apparitions around the silhouette of the witch's figure reflected in Arthurs irises and pupils. They seemed to have signaled something within him that forced him to break his gaze. Scylla was intrigued, exhibited by her expression as it softened from menacing to a bit more on the curious side.<br>
<br>
At Arthurs mention of Scylla as magic capable she nodded slowly, then upon hearing his offer she almost refused outright. She was not keenly fond of taking risks, much less hired or struck deals for such things. Yet, considering her plans were spoiled by the conflict with the lock wizard only moments before and was probably dead by now the witch quietly evaluated her position.<br>
<br>
Upon hearing Arthurs proposal to the fancy looking human Vasumir, Scylla would look past the mana mage towards him.<br>
<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">“Brilliant..”</span> She said sarcastically as she leaned on her staff. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">“..risk your life and if you live, you get to spend it in prison.”</span> Scylla’s ghostly chuckle would quickly cease as her attention was brought upwards. The fires had caught up to their location as hints of the thick billowing smoke reached her pale nose. Then upon hearing the voices clamoring into position her gaze shot towards the end of the alley. She seemed to ease into the idea of helping Arthur, but not because of the academy - although the idea of furthering her magical prowess was definitely on her mind. At this moment her goals were oriented around the story behind the stone, recalling the pull she felt when it was revealed had distrubed her. If it was within her means she’d at least try to make sure that it remained in safe hands, at the very least.<br>
<br>
As the six ruffians approached the party, Scylla would step away from the others steering towards Arthurs left side behind him. The shadowy staff in her hands began to wisp of hazy white and black cloudlike streams, concentrating them into her free open hand. She would mutter an incantation as the concentrated magic enveloped her as pitch black shadows spun above her, magical wind blowing through her silvery white hair . Taking aim, she’d fire the necrotic forces towards the foremost ruffian and the one nearest to herself dousing them in shadowy acid.<br>

</div></div>Interestingly enough, Jason wasn't exactly perturbed by the amount of rage and confusion that he felt being pulled into long legs mind. Rather, as he returned to his body, he looked up at the massive and powerful creature and felt a sense of kinship. His eyes softened a little bit. It wasn't right what was happening to it. Rage and confusion still flooded his mind as he watched her. He didn't seem to notice the situation with the dragon hunters. No, his rage fueled the attack. Once they disappeared, so to did his drive to kill them. Now he and his insects stood, stewing in fury and confusion.<br>
<br>
Something snapped him out of his daze. No..... someone. His head turned and landed upon a young girl, but she wasn't what caught his attention. No, it was her screaming that drew it, but it was the men that caught his gaze. He grit his teeth. Already angry and loathing the world, now the true face of humanity showed it's horrible head. The half scarred face of the insect man scowled. His anger seeming to stir the massive insects around them. His hive and colony. These men were disgusting. A blight on the earth. They should become sustenance for the collective. They did not deserve mercy. Luckily, insects knew nothing of mercy.<br>
<br>
He knew he needed to keep an eye out for any more of those Hunters. With a single motion of his hand, the caustic spitters took strategic points around him. His hand reached out "<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">Rip off their filthy manhood's. Feed on their flesh. Leave the girl unharmed.</span>" Without hesitation and filled with unbridled rage, the Crypticrawlers and Vilpincer's dashed towards the group of men, ignoring the girl completely and each choosing a target. The group of ten bugs leaped and started their vicious assault. Crypticrawler's stabbing and Vilpincer's attempting to remove family jewels. Vicious and brutal as Jason stood and watched with a smirk of satisfaction on his face.<br>

Mechanics: <br>

As baxtor jogged he thought alot about his strength and the fact that dragonhunters came out of nowhere, Dragonhunters it seemed were a recurring faction in every world it seemed. When baxtor noticed the evil taking place he was furious, he hated rapists and women abusers most of all. but after his previous experience with the dragonhunters he was hesitant to attack on his own. but where hesitated and gritted his teeth jason had already moved, not one to be out done baxtor grabbed his short sword and immediately targeted the closet bandit to lessen the burden. "Let the frost punish you Glacial stab!!" baxtor plunged toward the bandit nearest to him.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Rowan cursed as she recognized that this was a goddamn illusion- which meant these bunch were mercenaries as well. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Baxtor, those Dragon Hunters are mercenaries who have the ability to cast reasonably powerful illusion spells. Someone may have paid them to murder you. They wouldn't just be on your trail without a reason. I would ask around to see who has it out for you, when this is done."</span> Rowan informed Baxtor as they ran, not about to keep information like that to herself. <br>
<br>
Jason's fiery rage and Baxtor's wrath would be a contrast to Rowan's cold fury at the sight of what would happen before them, if they didn't react in time. Any life in her expression- the easygoing nature, the calmness shut down, leaving a blank expression on her face devoid of anything. These bunch wouldn't live to see the next few minutes, never mind living to see tomorrow. <br>
<br>
Usually when using her suffocation technique she felt uncomfortable, but those feelings left the building the moment she had realized what those men had been about to do to the young girl. Before she could suffocate with unholy vengeance, a thought came to her. She had to get the girl out of there first. She  could deal with the scum after that. While Jason and Baxtor attacked, she would hang back- to get the girl out safely, while also watching their backs, as those Hunters would most likely continue to be an annoyance. If the Dragon Hunters or the men were to come at them or break through Baxtor and Jason's attacks, she would react harshly. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Hurry! Now is the time to run! GO!"</span> Rowan hollered the girl the moment the men were distracted with the reality of the loss of their gonads- and most likely their lives. She desperately wanted to see the bunch claw at their faces, fear shining through their eyes, but someone had to be lookout, to make sure the girl got away. The fact that the three men on top of her weren't too concerned with girl as much gave Rowan the opportunity to use her magic. She cast her shields (Mage Armour-E- 0 post Cooldown), keeping the shields up on Jason, Baxtor, herself, and more importantly, the girl. <br>
<br>
She got close to the girl, pointing to the rusted chain-link fence that blocked off the abandoned houses in the area from the rest of the Underbelly- seven to eight feet tall, but still surprisingly massive  IT would be difficult to climb quickly- but Rowan had a way of making that easier than usual. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"I'll give you a boost up. Start climbing, and don't stop running until you're sure you're safe."</span> Rowan whispered to the girl, before waving her hands, casting magic towards the fence. About ten feet away, there were two platforms (Basic Stairs- F- Multiple Post Cooldown) - the first three feet from the ground, the second three feet above the first platform. IF the girl were to choose to climb the platforms, she would hopefully be able to scale the fence with ease- she could climb down once she reached the other side and disappear into the night- hopefully to somewhere safer than here. Rowan would keep eyes on the girl until she disappeared from view- her attention soon split on the disgusting low-lifes and the area around them- in case they got ambushed. <br>

Through the actions of both Dayle and Rudy telling the white clothes thief, Clover, to slow down due to her exhaustion, the thief listened either out of exhaustion or trust. Most likely exhaustion. Her eyes looked to both Rudy and Dayle, tired eyes. Her legs looked like they were going to buckle with how shaky they were, but she complied. Clover took a deep breath and stood up straight, twirling her kunai and chain. She saw more hooded figures coming their way along with their half naked berserkers, they were chasing after the group, most likely wanting that Stone they held. "<b> Gods damn it. </b>" Clover mumbled as she stepped forward, ready to help fight them off, holding the chain with both hands and pulled her hand along the chain, ice forming where her hand stroked over, mist gliding off the newly formed icicles.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/967212/" target="_blank">View attachment 967212</a><br>
<br>
But as Clover was getting ready when Rudy told the thief to hand him the bag, Clover looked over at her confused for a moment thanks to her exhaustion but realized what he was trying to do. Clover let her weapon go for it to hang from one hand as she pulled her bag off her person and tossed it over to Rudy for him to catch then walked over to Dayle and his people to help. But soon realizing that there was more than cultists coming than there was that they had, which was five. Clover witnessed Dayle slice down a cult member with his bladed chains, the chains razor their way across the bloodthirsty man's chest, face and neck. Cutting deep.<br>
<br>
Blood gushed out of his wounds, immediately creating a pool of blood, one of his eyes fell onto the ground staring up at Dayle as the body fell on top of said eye. Dayle would turn to see Clover having come back but she had stopped in her place, "<b> There's too many, we need to get to a place with better defenses or just need to escape them in general.</b> " Clover explained.<br>
<br>

<br>
A cult member attacked Zeke, slamming two rusty and broken daggers into the shield, laughing manically, without a tongue to use so it was only gargling as wide and crazed eyes stared at Zeke. The cultist kept slamming knives into said shield as the shield was getting pulled down with each slam. With more coming behind the attacking berserker, they had only so much time.<br>
<br>
Rudy was able to get the artifact into the bag, within moments of closing the bag, the influx of mana stopped or at least calmed down. Mana would barely be felt now upon it being covered with this strange bag that felt like a box with straps. But no time to think about that, they had cultists to worry about, behind Rudy he would see a market place alley for them to head down, it was their only choice unless they wanted to fight the incoming cultists that had the numbers and definitely the cruelty.<br>
<br>

<br>
Within this marketplace, it would be worst looking than the last one they were running through earlier when Rudy had picked up Clover and slung her over his shoulder. There was still panicking people and civilians fighting each other over idiotic stuff or specific reasons equally as stupid with what is going on. Each kiosk was rundown and pathetic looking, it was a miracle that they stood up. This would be a good way to get away, hopefully.<br>

Though Rudolph could have run much faster, instead he slowed his pace down to match Clovers. It went beyond that they stood a better chance together. And yes that included Dayle and his cohorts. He wasnt about to leave her behind. With or without the stone. Not in this place. It was something he set his mind to. How he kept finding himself in the need to take care of people, he had no idea. Clearly a bad and unhealthy habit. <br>
<br>
It wasn't hard to see her desperation. That she was on her last leg, giving what she had now just stay alive. All the more reason he would need to stay close...<br>
<br>
<br>
Thankfully she didn't argue when it came to handing over the bag. As soon as the pouch changed hands, and while the Clover and Dayle dealt with the approaching lunatics, Rudy plunged that stupid orb into the bag and immediately that... feeling... went away. He tied that fucker up as tightly as he could manage and shoved it into his hoodies pocket.<br>
<br>
Now he had to think of a way out. Turning around he saw the marketplace. Now that brought back some unwelcome memories of how he got into this mess, and he wasn't even sure if it was the same or different market. Though the atmosphere of the place was spot on. Complete chaos and hellish obstacle to wade through. Yet it seemed the best way to lose these cultist. <br>
<br>
<br>
Turning back around, he noticed the predicament that Zeke was in at trying to keep the cultist. Well fuck... he couldn't just focus on helping only Clover now. Dayles goons were in the same boat, like it or not. And that meant needing to help protect them too. Fuck, indeed.<br>
<br>
Drawing back the sword he held, Rudolph charged forward and thrust that crappy sword he had been using. Using his full strength to try and shove it into the chest of the dagger wielding cultist harrowing Zeke. Knowing full well that the sword wouldn't survive the strike.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
"<b>You</b>!" He said to Zeke, "<b>I'm gonna need that shield. Gonna plow us a way through that market</b>." <br>
<br>
That wasn't much of a plan... but given the anarchy of the market, bulldozing a way through was probably about a good idea there was. Maybe it would start a riot? If the place wasn't already rioting... hard to tell, really.<br>
<br>
"<b>And you</b>!" He pointed to Clover. God she looked so tired... "<b>Stay close behind me. If you're too tired, ill haul you on my back. You could guide me through the crowd. If gangster here can fight off the crazies while I push us forward. We can't afford to get split up</b>."<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Would he get the shield? Yes or no, it wouldn't matter... if he did, he would raise up and charge into the market. Using it to help push aside whom he needed to.<br>
<br>
 If not? If not then he would just have to go charge forward as is, and maybe find something useful once inside.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Mechanical Summary<br>
<br>
Attacking cultist that is attacking Zeke.<br>
<br>
Strength B. Sword F.<br>
<br>
Using full value of Str+Sword(B+F) to strike. At the cost of destroying the sword in the process. <br>

<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"Ah fuck!"</span> Yelled Zeke as he tried his damnedest to hold unto the shield for dear life. He was about to crumble, but he felt pressure lift away from him as Rudy took care of the lunatic. Using that time when the lunatic was most distracted, one of Dayle's men threw a haymaker at them, intending to concuss him if ever the bastard survives somehow. And if that wasn't enough, Dayle would be right next to them to deliver a strike from his chains. The others took position near each other, protecting each other's flanks as they look on ahead on the oncoming cultists. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"You got—<i>huff—</i>my thanks!"</span> Zeke said, the earlier attack taking out a fair bit of air from him. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"This shit's getting real ugly!"</span> Dayle declared, eliciting nods from his men.<br>
<br>
Dayle's temple was covered in sweat as he assessed his situation. It wasn't looking good. He searched for a way out, and he found the same thing as the other guy, a marketplace. His thoughts were already jogging when the other guy made a suggestion. He thought about it, but with the options they had in hand, the only way was forward. Although the guy looked a bit weak, he was anything but that. He saw the guy come out of a chaotic battle with a wound on his head, and it barely did anything to him. He was either tough as balls, or his fortitude is just that strong. Either way, he would be a great vanguard. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Fuck! No choice! Zeke!"</span> Zeke nodded and handed that chipped down shield to Rudy. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"I don't know what to tell you, but this one's not that good. Don't angle it wrong, it <i>will</i> break."</span> he warned before readying up. He positioned himself near the others as well, giving each other fists bumps. Their eyes were full of vigilance, and they ensured not a side is unwatched.<br>
<br>
Dayle looked behind them, and despite the onslaught of enemies, his mind was calm. This was what was missing from his first steps in this accursed place. The smell of an incoming battle, and the visage of the bastards who dared mess with them. Too bad he can't fight all of them now. There were far too many of them. For now, he will have to make do with stalling them. He will have vengeance, but it will not be any time soon. He took his position at the back, intending to protect the rear once all of them start running. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Buckle up, everyone! The usual drill! Cover the flanks..."</span> he ordered, his tone heated and commanding for the first time ever since he came to the Underbelly. His was expression full of hatred, and his teeth was bared against the enemies. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"... and beat the fuckers down!"</span> <br>

<b><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1648071102900-png.969506/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/906/906636-003b44c6a5476c45cf09d5bde6ec29eb.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1648071102900.png" title="1648071102900.png" width="100" height="268" loading="lazy"></a></b><br>
</span>The man choose the wise option, for now. Fate had yet to betray Vasumir. On top of that, it seemed to pull him. The man's proposal seemed to scream to be a chance fabricated by fate. But Vasumir knew, not to always tempt it. Adding on that, his interest to be bound to a institution was at least for now almost nonexistent, since he had yet to acquire any substantial amount of knowledge of this world, which included the standing, power and intricacies of the different institution, it would be rash to just join the one fate offered him first. Yet the value of this chance offer, was still quite high, Vasumir couldn't decide just yet on his final decision, he would have to observe this young man and his companion's first, to gauge what kind of faction he would align himself with if he were to accept the offer.<br>
<br>
Regardless of that, even if Vasumir decided to refuse this instant, it was in his eyes clear, that instead of fleeing holding the ground was superior to increase his own survival chances.<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"It seems we will have to resume this conversation at a later date. Now, I will have to remind, that I barely pose any real threat to anything in my current state. So one should not expect me to damage these fiends greatly. For that, I apologize."</span><br>
<br>
Vasumir's Options were limited. He had only one real way to attack, to use his magic directly and push it into one of these obstacles. Luckily the fiends seemed exhausted, so with a bit of luck, his current magical energy would suffice to at least knock one of them out.<br>
Additionally, the girl which was questioned as well stepped forward and started conjuring up a spell, a perfect moment for him to approach the fiends directly. Whatever kind of spell she would cast, it should draw hopefully enough attention for him to reach anyone of the fiends and push his own maigcal energy into him <b>(Magic Affinity E)</b> before his other friends could react. Even if it did not, he was hopeful that he would survive an onslaught, since at least his reflexes were still somewhat intact. But to find out, there was only one true way, and that was to execute this less than well crafted plan. As such he started moving towards the group of fiends, hoping one of them would find themselves somewhat isolated.</div>

While the Underbelly burned, a figured stepped out to watch the show, screaming and yells could be heard everywhere. The figure standing there in armor watched and smiled under his helmet, then he faded back into the shadows. "<b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"> It is still here.</span></b> "<br>
<br>
---<br>
<br>
<i><b>The Marketplace...</b></i><br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1648094612371-png.969629/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/906/906759-d4fd66120db75662a773ceb8eb1c1940.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1648094612371.png" title="1648094612371.png" width="137" height="100" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
More and more cultists kept on showing up, seemingly out of nowhere, following after the groups, Clover was barely able to keep up, only moving on instinct and the will to survive, she was useless at this point but that was the least of their concerns, to Clover she wanted the orb back and to be able to deliver it to her contact. She looked back and saw one hooded cultist get pass everyone and come for her, she flicked her kunai and chain out of her sleeve, swinging it up with a flimsy flick of her arm, it did manage to come up and slash across the cultist's neck and eye in a vertical slash, the man stopped and backed off holding neck while yelling pain, Clover couldn't even finish them off as she continued running.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1648096063804-png.969632/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/906/906762-5ad0098cd8f04d9548e2d11ce1e7c311.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1648096063804.png" title="1648096063804.png" width="100" height="142" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
The cultist with knives was able to push the shield down far enough to meet Zeke face to face, with jaw agape and breath reeking of human flesh and blood, their previous companion that was devoured before them just minutes ago. The jaw that Zeke stared into was a terrifying maw, teeth sharpened by crude tools and yellow as a bloating corpse, tongue missing that looked like it had been cut out with a dull blade by how the wound looked. As he was about to take a nasty bite out of Zeke's face that would have most likely kill him, one of Dayle's remaining men had the balls to protect his fellow man.<br>
<br>
A punch slammed into the head of the cultist that made the berserker stop for a moment, like the punch only stunned him than did damage, the eyes looked cloudy for a moment before the head turned with jaw agape and pulling a knife out of Zeke's shield, ready to attack when he raised it up. Before the jagged dagger was slammed into flesh and bone, Rudy came through with a rusty and worn sword, driving it through the chest of the cultist, driving them back, this broke the sword upon use, but the cultist was killed upon impact. (Rolled 8 out of 8.)<br>
<br>
Zeke was able to give Rudy the shield that was rickety at best, when Rudy grabbed the shield, he would see Clover defend herself against the hooded cultist that stopped attacking upon losing an eye and getting their throat slightly slashed. Clover was safe, even as exhausted as she was, she would not stop defending herself. Rudy would begin to move through the market, the shield helping Rudy get through anyone in their path, there wasn't many crazy people, mainly panicking civilians that only wanted to live and escape, Rudy would push himself through this neutral territory, Rudy being unaware of this. Dayle having the rear guard with his men and a trying Clover trying to keep up with Rudy, mainly wanting the orb. <br>
<br>
Upon getting about a quarter way through the marketplace, a large shadow jumped off the rooftops above them and in front of Rudy, unfortunately for Rudy, he wasn't able to stop in time, but a long arm with strong hand was placed out to stop the rampaging Rudy, the hand slammed through the shield with ease, mainly due to Rudy's speed and strength. The hand slammed into Rudy's chest, knocking him into the ground as the shield broke into pieces, knocking the wind out of Rudy. Before Rudy would stand a large.... Chest? Treasure chest? With long arms and legs? <br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/mim-the-mimic-knight-jpg.969636/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/906/906766-851d589d5c225f4de20e3756351741ac.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="MIM! The Mimic Knight.jpg" title="MIM! The Mimic Knight.jpg" width="100" height="137" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
This chest leaned into Rudy, and he would see it fully, it's one eye. It was a mimic! But instead of attacking Rudy, to just observed him before moving away. " <b>A weird looking human.</b> " The mimic spoke with a deep voice that sounded knightly. The large eye looked up from Rudy and to the incoming group that was running from the strange group of half-naked men and hooded cultists chasing them, even attacking bystanders, which it did not like seeing. " <b>Animals... Savages!</b> " It spoke loudly with anger in it's one eye. It hopped over Rudy with extreme ease and even over Dayle and his gang, a cape flowing after the flying chest until it landed between the cultists and Rudy's group. The cultists stopped in their tracks staring at this 5-foot chest standing before them with an eye of malice. <br>
<br>
"<b> You have desecrated this neutral ground and slaughter civilians that want out of the fighting. Disgusting. </b>" The Mimic grew in foot of size as it began to try and spit something out, then it released, spitting out two swords into the air that it caught with ease. " <b>I am Mim, the Mimic Knight! And you will taste my wrath, fanatical scum! </b>" He announced to the world, then he dashed forward, twirling like a tornado of death as his arms followed after him, slicing through bodies with ease and brutality, raining blood and gore all around him while more eyes grew all over the chest to see where he was going. Eventually he stopped twirling and jumped up, the swords disappearing into his skin as he spat a warhammer into the air, taking both hands to the handle, he slammed it down on one cultist that ended up splattering gore and guts all around the body, blood splattering making a sickening sound along with bones being crushed. This Mim had it under control it seemed, this could be a perfect opportunity to either escape or help the self-proclaimed knight that seemed to have it under control, the cultists were stopped in their tracks immediately by his onslaught.<br>

The five leather armored men were dealing with the girl, while two had her held down, the other three were reveling in their victory of catching the quick and uncatchable girl. While Rowan's group made their way towards the group, she was able to cast a spell of shielding to attempt to protect her fellow group members, the spell was a success. Then... Bugs. Jason's crypticrawlers were the first to make their attack on the unaware men, one that wasn't holding the girl down looked over at the group coming with the same cocky smile he was holding towards the girl, but it quickly turned to fear as they were immediately attacked, the first one that was aware was the closest to the group, and was immediately jumped on by two of the crypticrawlers, screaming as they began to dig into the man with malice. Now the group was aware, letting the girl go as they got ready unsheathing weapons. (Crypticrawlers got a 5 out of 5 on roll, crit.) Jason's next group of Vilpincers swept through and began attacking more members of this small group, tasking on two more of them, taking them to the ground and beginning their feast of terror. (Get this, also a 5 out of 5, also another crit, nice!) <br>
<br>
What would happen next would turn the tide for possibly the worst, Baxtor charged forward to one of the last two remaining warriors, the warrior was wielding a large mace as he was shocked by what was happening, this leather covered warrior stepped away from the feast he was witnessing, looking confused. Looking to the side he saw a strange pale skinned figure coming for, unable to move in time, Baxtor was a little sloppy and stabbed through the larger man's should with his Glacial Stab, the man yelled in pain, feeling the ice cold blade rupture through his shoulder and feel the ice spread. (4 out of 6 plus blight which is critical in what happens next.) But this wasn't enough to stop the warrior as he was able to raise the mace up into the air with malice intent, due to the ice blight, the warrior wasn't able to strike precisely which would have been Baxtor's head, but instead slammed his mace down with incredible strength into Baxtor's shoulder, breaking through Rowan's shield which didn't help in the slightest, the mace slammed into his sword shoulder, shattering nearly every bone in his shoulder and upper arm. Making his arm useless now. (Rolled 6 of 6 in retaliation, yikes.) <br>
<br>
The man did back away with a look of surprise that he wasn't able to crush Baxtor's head like a grape but instead got his shoulder, thanks to the blight that Glacial Stab caused, it saved Baxtor's life, though he would be feeling excruciating pain and wouldn't be able to use the arm anymore, he was useless for the rest of this fight thanks to the pain and loss of one arm. The girl saw the opportunity to run while Rowan beckoned her over to where they were, as she made her way over, Rowan would summon steps for her as the girl now ran up the steps and onto a fence before jumping up onto a rooftop, looking down at the impending fight, looking unfazed now. Not even a look of gratitude. <br>
<br>
The remaining two men, one injured due to Baxtor and another that wasn't attacked, began backing away as Jason's friends crept forward. " <b>Backup! We need backup!</b> " The uninjured one roared with holding an iron sword, having one hand at his mouth to echo his voice further into the world. Hoping someone would hear them. "<b> Fucking bastard...! </b>" The injured mace wielding man pulled Baxtor's sword from his shoulder and threw behind him on the ground like it was trash since it would still be stuck and Baxtor wasn't able to pull it out. "<b> He fucked my arm up, but i got him good!</b> " He cackled in his small victory; pretty sure he was about to die due to these large bugs while he did not have enough strength to fight back while carrying such a huge weapon while to blight was kicking in.<br>

Arthur heard Scylla call the academy a prison which made the man scoff, " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Whatever you want to believe, woman, keep your eyes on the prize. </span>" He saw these men begin to try and round around them, while Scylla backed off and Arthur took a step forward, he heard Vasimur speak of them continuing their conversation another time, which Arthur gave a slight grunt to as they had bigger things to focus on. He let out his ghastly arm away from him as a weapon was summoned into his hand, in the form of a Lupara (Shotgun, <b>Spiritual Ordnance: Basic - E - 2 PC.</b>), Arthur pulled it back to him while holding it in one hand. These bandits were moving towards them while Arthur wasn't one to back down, especially to another gang. He learned that back in his world, never back down to a rival gang. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">We really going to do </span><span style="color: #f37934">this.</span> " He stared at the group of bandits, as fire roared over the building that illuminated the area. Their eyes gone and almost dead.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1648100975950-png.969660/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/906/906790-fcf109f400f17486e59ed34d5493c1f7.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1648100975950.png" title="1648100975950.png" width="100" height="136" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
Before Arthur could react, Scylla already attacked first, shadows moved pass him to the two closest bandits, too tired these bandits were to notice at first, but now noticing it was too late. Shadows melted the bandit in front of Arthur to nothing but blood and gore, Arthur wasn't too shocked, not expecting such quickness of an attack mainly but he was impressed. Nearly giving Scylla a look back but that would have been suicide. In the corner of his eye, he saw a bandit that was close to Scylla meet the same fate as well. (Rolled 9 of 10, since these bandits were already tired and injured, they are dead.) Now following this attack, the rest of the bandits were all aware and awake now, they didn't even notice Vasimur get close to the nearest one which worried Arthur as he didn't need this man's death on his hands. <br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1648100996554-png.969661/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/906/906791-8dccbdcea09631136a915ebffaa35c36.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1648100996554.png" title="1648100996554.png" width="100" height="100" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
But instead, this fellow surprised Arthur who began to push magic into the nearest bandit as they stood in shock of their comrades turning into masses of glob and gore, He was bloated in mana that he almost stunk of it Vasimur was able to cause this man to turn into a ball of mana that looked incredibly painful. Arthur quickly had an idea, his real hand moved in quick to grab Vasimur by his shoulder and pull him back, while he made his way backwards with the albino looking man, Arthur pointed his Lupara at the mana bloated vagabond making sure they were far away enough before the others knew what was happening. Arthur got his target in sight, seeing hallucinations of faces that belonged to people that Arthur killed in his past, then pulled the trigger. Firing spectral shots that flew in the direction of the man. Penetrating the man, causing an explosion of mana and blood (Rolled a 6 of 6, nice). Pushing Arthur, Vasimur and Scylla away having them hit the ground, Arthur having Vasimur behind him to protect him if needed which it wasn't. The group of bandits weren't so lucky, taking the main explosion which wiped them out, causing certain parts of the body to be missing afterwards. One was dead while the other two were alive but missing their legs. <br>
<br>
Arthur was the first up with a groan, he wasn't expecting it to be over so quickly. But that was damn good thinking on Vasimur's part. Turning to his new group, Arthur let his gun go with dissipated into the air like a ghost, he moved forward, having a splatter of blood across his face, he offered a hand to each fallen companion., without saying a word.<br>

Baxtor skid back after catching a blow to his shoulder, clutching his shoulder baxtor was currently in alot of pain as he back up enough to rest his back against a nearby wall. "fucking hell!" baxtor cussed clearly displeased at being maimed, "Fucking Hell! of all goddamn places to get maimed it had to be a place where i need to be willing to lose a kidney to survive...' baxtor looked up at the cavern ceiling clearly wanting back topside but also out of luck in that regard. baxtor sat down as he hissed in pain accidently knocking his limp right arm against the ground. baxtor had a dark look in his eye's clearly dousing flames of hatred the had burst aflame in his heart. he was sick and tired of being walked all over by both worlds, he wanted power, not just any power but power that was undeniable he had legend's of god-like adventurer's roaming the lands. taking time to rip at his suit to bind his arm to his side with the rag's produced using his left hand and teeth to tie a knot in the makeshift sling, he had to completely tear his overcoat so he only had his white tee he had underneath on with a baby blue tie loosened and his top two button's undone. baxtor stood up finishing his work then looked at what was left of the conflict gauging the situation, and the danger in retrieving his shortsword.</div>

<br>
After Scylla produced the shadows, horrible screams emitted from the band of criminals that approached. The witch seemed to revel in their pain as she lightly grinned with pleasure as the two were reduced to slightly more than puddles of blood. It was then that she saw the well dressed pale human step forward - dangerously close. Instead of calling out to him, she emphasized her actions to the remaining criminals' as they stood shocked of their comrades being turned to nothing more than meat matter. Scylla hoped to keep their attention long enough for Arthur to do something.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">“Filthy vermin!” She’d exclaim coldly. “I’m just getting started!” </span><br>
 <br>
It was then that Vasumir appeared to stuff a criminal with impressive amounts of mana to which Scylla recoiled. Partly in disgust of the man, who’s body appeared to be on the verge of bursting and impressed by the seemingly harmless but well dressed pale companion.<br>
<br>
Scylla had quickly figured out what Arthur was doing as he pulled Vasumir away and aimed his weapon at the bewilderingly mana stuffed individual. The witch would quickly take a few steps back as the inside of her arm shielded her face, but she wasn’t far enough away to avoid the force of the explosion.<br>
<br>
Scylla would lose her footing as the burst of mana caused her to fall on her back, her staff following suit next to her as she yelped. The blast of energy would soon dissipate, she looked towards where the six ruffians had been before only to see even more gore and very disoriented criminals breathing their last few breaths as they struggled to make sense of their missing limbs. All that was heard was their agonizing groans.<br>
<br>
She’d been wiping her face of the carnage that had taken place when Arthur offered his hand. Scylla looked up at Arthur for a moment then taking his hand used his weight to pull herself up.<br>
<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">“Hmph.. thanks..” </span>She started as she removed what looked like pieces of skin, gooey blood, and chunks of arteries from her cloak. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">" I hate this place.” </span><br>
She’d pick up her staff and observed Arthur sternly, crossing her arms.<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"> “Fine. I'll help you. Look I don't care about claiming your precious orb, all I know is that when it was taken out of its satchel I felt something I never want to experience again.</span>” She was clearly disturbed by the orb's energetic pull. It made her feel out of control. It didn't help she still didn't know very much about it, so it seemed this was as good time as any to find out. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">“What is it anyway? A weapon?” </span><br>
<br>
She'd turn to Vasumir before Arthur could speak, nodding in approval at him making due with the abilities he currently has.<br>

</div></div>Jason was unsure of what to think. Still lost in his own rage, but he had calmed a bit. However, his insects were in a feeding frenzy. Jason slowly walked forward with his caustic spitters lumbering with him. He could hear it. Screams of pain, the sounds of the feasting colony. Flying insects swarmed around him. Stopping at the three still living men. They were weak and almost dead, unable to do much more than struggle a little against the massive insects.<br>
<br>
Jason turned and looked down at the men, smiling pleasantly as he watched. His Crypticrawler's finding random sections of the bodies to chew on. Watching the blood seep from the wounds as their maws ripped off massive chunks of flesh. Bones snapping as they sucked the marrow. The Vilpincer's used their tail to cut up the body. Small pieces, cutting off the arm at the elbow. One of the men who is still conscious screamed and pain as the massive insects started to eat his arm right in front of him. Organs ripped out as the bugs go for the liver, the most nutritious organ in the body.<br>
<br>
Jason heard the skittering next to him. Looking down he could see the Caustic Spitters excitedly shaking and waiting for their turn. He smiles and reaches down to pet them "<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">Go eat my lovelies.</span>" The Caustic Spitters wasted no time in lumbering over to them, choosing to go after their favorite part on the bodies. Using their Superior leg strength, they took the time to crush each man's head, leaving nothing. The head completely demolished and the cost of spitters going for the brain and stem. Jason smiled happily as even the little insects that followed him decided to go get some protein from these sickening men. He was happy that at least in death they could contribute something to other people.<br>
<br>
Suddenly, the cheerful look on his face turned to one of disgust and anger. He gave the surviving men a sideways glance, showing just how upset and ready to kill he was as the sounds of insects feasting upon the three corpses filled the air. The men would see that just behind him the ravenous insects, large and small, help to themselves to the corpses of their dead friends. Wasting nothing, sucking the marrow from the bones and silencing them and their sickening ways. Jason growled a bit, his scarred face staring down these wastes of flesh "<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">You sicken me. You'll be the main course for my beloved insects.</span>" The insects buzzed around him. He looked like the living embodiment of an infestation. His massive bugs continuing their meal, only once they were satisfied did they turn their attention to the surviving members of this group. Ready to attack once more and ready to do their Master's bidding.<br>

Dayle flailed his chains around, keeping the cultists away from him and the others. Luckily, he didn't have to stall them for long.<br>
<br>
A certain figure jumped down from the roofs, breaking Rudy's momentum and putting Dayle to a stop. He warily eyed the newcomer, but was relieved when the... chest thing revealed its allegiance. He was a protector of some sorts, probably of this marketplace, and so did not concern itself with Dayle and the rest. What did catch its attention was the cultists behind him, and Dayle gladly made way for the thing to pass by him. An extra hand against these bastards would be of great help, and it looked very strong as well. He wanted a chance for revenge, and now he got it. He wouldn't let this opportunity go. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Reinforce!"</span> Dayle commanded, which his men nodded to and readied themselves before making a defense line behind the chest thing. Dayle took the center, and his men formed around in front of him.  His group intended to support the chest thing in the sidelines, with full intention on killing the bastards.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Both of you!"</span> He said, while looking forward without sparing a glance at Rudolph and Clover. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"They have strength in numbers, but from what I can see, them bastards ain't that much."</span> He pulled his chains taught and flourished it <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"And I've got a bone to pick with 'em."</span> He turned his head to look at them. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"You either help us and risk death.</span>" He then looked forward again. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Or run away and also risk death. Pick your poison."</span><br>
<br>
From his point of view, both in rational and personal reasons, to stay was the best option for him. He'd believe that standing ground as a group would potentially ward off the cultist attacks, and they'd be temporarily safe and get some rest. The few bouts he'd had the with the cultist basically confirmed that they were weak individually, as he could probably take on two or three by himself, and his men could take on one per person. All that remained would be about five or six cultists, which would then be further culled by the chest thing in front of him. That was good odds, better than scrambling around blind when he doesn't know where to go. Besides, the vivid image of one of his men being gruesomely devoured was still fresh in his mind. He'd be damned if he doesn't drag them across the ground. Of course he could become mortally wounded, but he was confident in his ability to survive. He didn't come this far being a coward, and he won't die as one.<br>
<br>
On the other hand, the chest thing distracting them would probably enough to shake off a few of them, but the thief was at her limits. It was already clear that the guy is not leaving the thief, and if he was going to protect her, he'd have to carry her away. That in itself poses a problem; the guy would be defenseless in many ways. He'd have to run for quite a bit, and even he would eventually exhaust himself. By then he would've probably escaped the cultists, but he'd be in an unfamiliar environment. If he or the thief had any semblance of knowledge about this place, they wouldn't be in this mess. Part of Dayle wondered how someone as oblivious as the thief could steal what he assumed to be a priceless treasure, while being severely unprepared when dealing with the underbelly.<br>
<br>
But those thoughts are for later. For now, Dayle and his gang needs all of their focus on whittling down the cultists. <br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Rowan looked back for a moment, making sure the girl left the area. Rowan didn't expect any gratitude from a girl who lived in the Underbelly- she just expected the girl to save her own ass, the opportunity  having so nicely presented itself. When she saw that the girl was simply watching, she shrugged. Locking eyes with the girl, she called up to the girl- <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"stay back,"</span> a warning.  Whether the girl wanted to see their demise or not wasn't her problem. As long as she stayed out of the way, she could watch the carnage all she wished. Though hopefully she didn't do something stupid like interfere. She couldn't guarantee the girl's safety- one reason she got the girl out asap. She wasn't too sure if Jason could hold back if the little girl  was in the line of fire, considering how angry he was.<br>
<br>
Finally, it was time to focus on the leftover surviving scum of the group. Oh, it was her time to shine, and she would have fun with these bunch. She gazed at them, displeasure clear on her face that there were still alive.<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"None of that now."</span> Rowan said harshly, using her magic on the scum before her. Any of the men still alive would have their heads encased in a shield (Mass Blackout-D Grade-1 Post Cooldown) that would cut off their air supply in an instant. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"He'll live, and eventually heal up- but you all won't." </span>She addressed the cackling man, the part of her that loved retribution coming out in full force. They had been  about to harm that girl- and she wanted to see their faces mirror the fear that had been in the girl's eyes. Her ability usually made her feel uncomfortable, but today it gave her dark satisfaction to see it used on assholes like these. If the others came- well, she would use her magic on them as well. Jason and herself could take on these disgusting pigs, make them pay for their crimes. Maybe a nicer person wouldn't stand for what she was doing, but frankly, these men didn't deserve to live.<br>
<br>
It was a tough break for Baxtor, his sword arm breaking because of the frankly unlucky turn of events.<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"> "Baxtor, over here."</span> Rowan called to him, urging him to get out of Jason's line of fire, to head over towards her. They could heal a broken arm- but bringing someone back to life was costly indeed. For every negative thought she may have thought of the man, he had shit luck, and she wouldn't let him die for that. She re-put up their shields on the three of them and the girl if she was within range(Mage Armor-E Grade-0 Post Cooldown). Even if they broke, they were the difference between life and death- lessening a deathly blow to a more livable blow. <br>

It had worked very well. Better than he had hoped. The man's quick thinking certainly had helped. He initially had at best hoped to eliminate one of the fiends, but to use his raw magic as firewood for a magical explosion, was quite a good plan to come up with on such short notice. Yet it was suspicious, fate had never treated him so nicely, something had to be wrong, but even if his presumption held true, what could he do about it? Especially now, there was just no time to think, he had to concentrate and survive through his current ordeal.<br>
<br>
But first, he had to check whether he received any injuries after the explosion. A few scratches here and there, nothing too agregious, but the worst ones, were those which lied hidden before the eye. His body felt fine, at least not as if it was internally bleeding, so that was good. He finally however did have a moment of rest. Yet he could not properly use it, the explosion had reminded him. He had truly fallen from grace. His current state was truly pathetic compared to his former power, without the man's help, without the woman's help, he certainly would have failed to win against these fiends. And that despite their clear exhaustion! He had to regain his composure. These thoughts were actively harmful, and being an even bigger burden, was not his goal. At least the woman didn't seem to mind his near powerlessness. He quickly stood up, being painfully made aware, that his hand got scratched quite severely. It would heal with time, the pain would however still remain for quite some time.<br>
<br>

He did not know what to call them yet, and it seemed, as if he might just have the pleasure of staying with them for an indefinite amount of time. Getting more familiar with his temporary companions should therefore prove useful, hopefully. <br>

While the Underbelly burned, a figured stepped out to watch the show, screaming and yells could be heard everywhere. The figure standing there in armor watched and smiled under his helmet, then he faded back into the shadows. "<b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"> It is still here.</span></b> "<br>

More and more cultists kept on showing up, seemingly out of nowhere, following after the groups, Clover was barely able to keep up, only moving on instinct and the will to survive, she was useless at this point but that was the least of their concerns, to Clover she wanted the orb back and to be able to deliver it to her contact. She looked back and saw one hooded cultist get pass everyone and come for her, she flicked her kunai and chain out of her sleeve, swinging it up with a flimsy flick of her arm, it did manage to come up and slash across the cultist's neck and eye in a vertical slash, the man stopped and backed off holding neck while yelling pain, Clover couldn't even finish them off as she continued running.<br>

<br>
The cultist with knives was able to push the shield down far enough to meet Zeke face to face, with jaw agape and breath reeking of human flesh and blood, their previous companion that was devoured before them just minutes ago. The jaw that Zeke stared into was a terrifying maw, teeth sharpened by crude tools and yellow as a bloating corpse, tongue missing that looked like it had been cut out with a dull blade by how the wound looked. As he was about to take a nasty bite out of Zeke's face that would have most likely kill him, one of Dayle's remaining men had the balls to protect his fellow man.<br>
<br>
A punch slammed into the head of the cultist that made the berserker stop for a moment, like the punch only stunned him than did damage, the eyes looked cloudy for a moment before the head turned with jaw agape and pulling a knife out of Zeke's shield, ready to attack when he raised it up. Before the jagged dagger was slammed into flesh and bone, Rudy came through with a rusty and worn sword, driving it through the chest of the cultist, driving them back, this broke the sword upon use, but the cultist was killed upon impact. (Rolled 8 out of 8.)<br>
<br>
Zeke was able to give Rudy the shield that was rickety at best, when Rudy grabbed the shield, he would see Clover defend herself against the hooded cultist that stopped attacking upon losing an eye and getting their throat slightly slashed. Clover was safe, even as exhausted as she was, she would not stop defending herself. Rudy would begin to move through the market, the shield helping Rudy get through anyone in their path, there wasn't many crazy people, mainly panicking civilians that only wanted to live and escape, Rudy would push himself through this neutral territory, Rudy being unaware of this. Dayle having the rear guard with his men and a trying Clover trying to keep up with Rudy, mainly wanting the orb.<br>
<br>
Upon getting about a quarter way through the marketplace, a large shadow jumped off the rooftops above them and in front of Rudy, unfortunately for Rudy, he wasn't able to stop in time, but a long arm with strong hand was placed out to stop the rampaging Rudy, the hand slammed through the shield with ease, mainly due to Rudy's speed and strength. The hand slammed into Rudy's chest, knocking him into the ground as the shield broke into pieces, knocking the wind out of Rudy. Before Rudy would stand a large.... Chest? Treasure chest? With long arms and legs?<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/969636/" target="_blank">View attachment 969636</a><br>
<br>
This chest leaned into Rudy, and he would see it fully, it's one eye. It was a mimic! But instead of attacking Rudy, to just observed him before moving away. " <b>A weird looking human.</b> " The mimic spoke with a deep voice that sounded knightly. The large eye looked up from Rudy and to the incoming group that was running from the strange group of half-naked men and hooded cultists chasing them, even attacking bystanders, which it did not like seeing. " <b>Animals... Savages!</b> " It spoke loudly with anger in it's one eye. It hopped over Rudy with extreme ease and even over Dayle and his gang, a cape flowing after the flying chest until it landed between the cultists and Rudy's group. The cultists stopped in their tracks staring at this 5-foot chest standing before them with an eye of malice.<br>
<br>
"<b> You have desecrated this neutral ground and slaughter civilians that want out of the fighting. Disgusting. </b>" The Mimic grew in foot of size as it began to try and spit something out, then it released, spitting out two swords into the air that it caught with ease. " <b>I am Mim, the Mimic Knight! And you will taste my wrath, fanatical scum! </b>" He announced to the world, then he dashed forward, twirling like a tornado of death as his arms followed after him, slicing through bodies with ease and brutality, raining blood and gore all around him while more eyes grew all over the chest to see where he was going. Eventually he stopped twirling and jumped up, the swords disappearing into his skin as he spat a warhammer into the air, taking both hands to the handle, he slammed it down on one cultist that ended up splattering gore and guts all around the body, blood splattering making a sickening sound along with bones being crushed. This Mim had it under control it seemed, this could be a perfect opportunity to either escape or help the self-proclaimed knight that seemed to have it under control, the cultists were stopped in their tracks immediately by his onslaught.<br>

Rampaging was a rather harsh word. It wasn't like he was kicking children or flipping over ox carts or something. I mean... not exactly. He couldn't have been adding to much to the chaos that was already happening. Pushing his way through the crowd as he was. Still, he was making pretty good time he figured. With a good distance covered, it only stood to reason that something would have to fuck it all up.<br>
<br>
That something was indeed a "something", an aberrant mass of thing that hopped int front of him and thrust outward to stop Rudolph in his tracks.<br>
<br>
Flimsy shield or not, it was probably what had kept him from having his chest cavity caved in rather than just having the wind knocked out of him as he landed on his back. Small miracles. <br>
<br>
But what even was it? Should he even stop and question such things any more in a world like this? Rolling over onto his elbows, and gasping for breath he looked up to see this Mim make his proclamations and begin fighting the cultists that were hot on their tails... well... doesn't that beat all? What the hell was wrong with this world?<br>
<br>
"Yes..." Rudy breathed... "...I'm a wierd looking human..." wrangling his breathing under control did help keep the sarcasm out of his voice... but then again... he probably was quite wierd looking compared to what seemed 'normal here. But screw that... this Mim was fighting the cultists now. And an enemy of my enemy is my friend, right? <br>
<br>
<br>
Rudolph took a moment to check and make sure the orb was safe and secure before pushing himself off the ground and wipe some more of the blood from his face. The scalp wounds loose coagulation having broken open again from the impact.<br>
<br>
Time to reassess the plan. Dayle and his dudes were already charging in to take the fight to the cultists. And after a moment of consideration, this was probably the best course of action. If they could take out the following cultists, they could more easily flee. With this Mim helping them, they might stand a chance. And the cultists friends would have a hard time finding and reinforcing the present cultists this deep in the market crowd. Theoretically. <br>
<br>
He didn't have a weapon though.... but he knew who did. <br>
<br>
"<b>Clover</b>." He said softly, looking over at her. She was looking worse for ware by the moment... and he didn't know how much further she could keep on at this pace. Since he met her. She hadn't had a minutes rest. That was in addition to how much running and fighting she did before.<br>
<br>
"<b>Once we deal with these cultists, we will get out of here. I'll handle this.... catch your breath. Rest for a second. I'm going to go help eye-patch guy, stay where I can see you in case there is trouble. Maybe see if you recognize where we are at.</b>"<br>
<br>
He put his hand out and laid them gently on the chain, not to take it. "<b>I'm going to need this though... you rest. I'll give back when I'm done."</b> In her state, well, it was pretty obvious that he could make a more effective use of it than she right now. <br>
<br>
He didn't pull it away from her until she agreed, and only then would he tighten his grip and take it jnto his possession. <br>
<br>
<br>
Rudolph had sort of used it once... before then he never used a weapon before. And this one was... magic? Or maybe it was her magic... as he looked down on it... and pondered what it was... something odd happened.<br>
<br>
It was as if a screen popped to life in the air. He almost dropped the Sickle then and there. Grade C... mithral.... ice Affinity D? Stats? He didn't know they meant. But there was more... his own. B... B... B... B... B? Well... that sounded pretty good, right? Maybe this was related to how he felt stronger and faster and tougher here. <br>
<br>
Unfortunately there was little time to consider this. Something to explore later perhaps.<br>
<br>
For now... he steeled himself for something he really did not want to do... to fight. Everything in him screamed to run... but no... this time he needed to stand and fight if they wanted to get away. Now was their chance.<br>
<br>
<br>
Grabbing the chain and kunai in one hand, and in the other he held the kama, he held it at the ready and charge in after Dayle. Ready to attack the nearest cultist and defend himself where needed. <br>

Clover was in a real bad state of exhaustion, she could barely stand up, she couldn't even stand properly and had to resort to leaning against a half standing kiosk stand, it ended up crumbling and Clover ended up falling down with it. She gave a painful groan as she went with it, falling into the rubble with a whimper. She sat up leaning against a piece of rubble, holding her side taking deep breathes, her eyes looked tired and exhausted as she stared ahead of her, not even noticing the things happening around her. When Rudy came up to her, she didn't notice the man until he had to get her attention, even then she almost couldn't listen. But she understood. She didn't want to give her only means of a weapon up to Rudy, she felt naked without it. "<b> I want... I want in return... The bag. </b>" Clover pointed to the bag with the stone that Rudy had. " <b>Collateral. </b>" She muttered<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1649145052152-png.973449/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/910/910579-5ad0098cd8f04d9548e2d11ce1e7c311.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1649145052152.png" title="1649145052152.png" width="100" height="142" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
Rudy would have to comply if he wanted her weapon, eventually he would give up the bag with the stone, Clover had a weak smile on her hand as she placed it next to her side and held it close, almost like a teddy bear. She then weakly put her hand up to Rudy where her kunai and chain dangled. Upon Rudy taking the chain, Clover's hand would fall with a limp as her eyes closed, snoring loudly, she needed rest and rest she would. Clutching onto the bag with the stone within.<br>
<br>
Mim lead the charge against the cultists that weren't retreating just yet, instead they stood their ground. Mim absorbed the hammer into his arm as a cultist came at him with a large axe. Mim caught the axe in one hand then stabbed the cultist through the chest with another hand. Mim then lifted the man up into the air and proceeded to throw them into his large maw, quickly devouring the man, then quickly growing a face of disgust. " <b>Ack- tainted. You lot are disgusting.</b> " Mim commented as he spat up a scimitar and caught it in one hand. <br>
<br>

There were few cultists left as Dayle helped the Mimic Knight push them back, then again having a large tank that could create weapons on the fly would be discouraging to fight up against. Dayle and his group of Red Stars would start pushing the cultists back, slicing and cutting them down, there was less than ten cultists left. One got too close to Dayle, but he was able to use his chains to tear them apart. Rudy's entry into the fight solidified their victory, the braggart saved one of Dayle's men from being stabbed multiple times and devoured. Ahead of the group of cultists near an alleyway, the group would two of these hooded figures pulling an older man out, it was Francois! Who had been separated when Long Legs attacked and went on her rampage.<br>
<br>
The cultists knew they have been thwarted with this newcomer entering the fight, they began retreating when the group had assembled their full force. One of the cultists holding Francois down raised a wicked dagger up, ready to stab down into the old man, Mim had spat up a crossbow once he saw the old man. He caught the weapon with ease and pointed it at the cultists, using his 360 vision, even on the crossbow, fired two bolts in quick succession. The crossbow reloading itself. The bolts looked somewhat alive as they flew through the air, quickly they made their marks into the cultists, but the bolts didn't just stop the two fanatics, they bore into their bodies like parasites, the cultists fell over screaming in pain as whatever they were show with moved through their bodies. Blood was coughed up and eventually they stopped moving. The rest of the fanatic zealots ran away, knowing they had been defeated.<br>
<br>
Mim would make his way over to the old man, "<b> You are alright now, ser, Mim the Mimic Knight will keep you safe. </b>" A long arm would help Francois up before he was picked up and taken back to the group, setting him down before Rudy and Dayle, " <b>Take care of this man if you could. I am glad to have you lot help me, it takes a lot of courage to do so in a place like this. </b>" The self proclaimed knight stated with a very hardy voice. Very knightly, " <b>Now, you lot of brigands, what are you doing here? I hear a gang war has started up over some stone? You lot are coming from that direction. </b>" He stated. From behind Mim those same bolts he had fired, crawled across the ground back to him, they had eyes and mouths on them. Mimic Arrows they were!

<br>
The injured black leathered man pushed the smaller man away with the last of his strength, "<b> Get out of here kid. These fools have thwarted our plans.</b> " The injured man stared at incoming bugs, " <b>You are all making a mistake, you fools. </b>" The man tried lifting his arm up that held the mace but his arm was beginning to freeze, so he switched arms to hold the mace, staring at this group before them. A injured dragon noble who thought he'd get a easy kill, a man that had many bugs on his side that looked quite concerning, and a woman who was trying to protect her teammates but doing a terrible job at it. The smaller and younger bandit began to run away, calling for backup as he did.<br>
<br>
Baxtor would begin to wrap his arm crudely with his own clothing as he tore it apart somehow. Although this would prove to be ineffective as it would fall into pieces, becoming useless. But he would now look the part, somewhat, with his ripped up clothing. "<b> Stupid nobles, your kind doesn't belong down here. If I could, I would crush that skull of yours, useless halfwit. </b>" The man cackled, "<b> Can't even wrap your arm properly, you didn't think it would be that easy, eh? What is a fool like you doing down here anyways? Shouldn't you be commanding your slaves around in your own little castle? </b>" The injured man taunted while he chuckled before hissing in pain holding his arm as it continued to freeze over, Baxtor would see his shortsword about fourteen feet behind the man. <br>
<br>
The injured man's eyes moved to Jason who was having his bugs eat and devour his previous allies who were just alive moments ago. His face showed disgust on it as their heads were crushed and squashed like grapes, brains and gore flying into the air, he didn't look surprised but only disgusted. " <b>Your kind belong down here, none of you look like you would be down here. </b>" The man commented, almost taunting him, even in the face of death he didn't look afraid. Even when threatened to be bug chow, he didn't look afraid, " <b>That's what it appears to look like. </b>" He dropped his heavy mace on the ground staring at his fate. " <b>But you are barking up the wrong tree you, halfwits, You have no idea who you are messing with, this is Leatherguard territory. We own this area, all these abandoned homes and such. Our leader will be sure to kill you all. Even that girl you saved, she isn't just some defenseless little girl, she is a murderer and thief herself.</b> " The man explained with a shrug and a cocky smile. " <b>Boss wanted her, she killed his son. </b>" <br>
<br>
Before he could explain further, Rowan's Mass Blackout would take effect, surrounding the man's head with her barrier, his hands moved up to the barrier, attempting to break it or remove it but none worked. He tried reaching for the mace but wasn't able to find it, his other arm was useless now being completely frozen thanks to Baxtor's attack. But before Jason would be able to attack the man with his smaller allies, there was the sound of magic being casted then four arrows made of blue light stabbed through the man's chest from above them. The man fell over while spitting up blood, red liquid seeping out from the barrier where his neck was as he fell onto his back. <br>
<br>
The girl from before was standing there, holding a blue ethereal bow made from magic, staring at her target. She looked down at the people that had just saved her quietly, observing them before she jumped down, landing before them, looking at each of them. " <b>I suppose I should thank you each for saving me from those Leatherguards. They rule this area and are a very cruel group. I very much appreciate it.</b> " Although she didn't sound very appreciative of their help, she sounded very monotoned. " <b>You all don't look like you belong here, what are you doing here? </b>" She asked, the strange blue bow dissipated into the air.<br>

<br>
Arthur looked at each of the two before him, he was beginning to trust the two a little bit more, he turned his head to where the group came from, he could still hear the screams and cries of people in the distance, the fires rising above the building was too revealing of their location, Arthur didn't like being here especially away from his group of people. But for now, he was stuck with these two, they were capable of themselves it seemed. Scylla especially, she was able to take care of herself, she rendered two of them herself, turning them into pieces of flesh and gore. Vasimur was very witty, similar to a tactician, Arthur was still impressed with his trick of bloating one up with mana to turn them into a bloated bomb. <br>
<br>
Arthur looked to the strange looking woman and the albino man, " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Come you two, it's unsafe here. We're better moving than staying in one place, especially when we got gangs fighting over their own squabbles like the blockheads they are.</span> " Arthur lead the group deeper into the alleys, into the more dark and veiled parts, to keep attention away from them. As they walked through the alleys, he heard Scylla's question on what was the stone, Arthur being Arthur he didn't give a straight answer. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">It's a artifact as far as I know. It apparently causes wars.</span> " Arthur brushed the question off, even he wasn't exactly sure what it was, he was given a pretty vague answer himself. <br>
<br>
Looking to Vasimur upon hearing his question, Arthur debated on giving his actual name or giving him a fake name to use. This has happened to Arthur in the past where he has been asked his name and gave a fake name since giving his real one placed him in dire situations. But this world was different to his and this man was different, imposing was the word Arthur was looking for. And they had made a deal, so Arthur had to be more cordial now. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Arthur. Arthur Verg is my name.</span> " The one armed man spoke, still sounding cold, moving through the alleyways, there would be longer way that lead to the streets where they would witness people fighting and dying. In the alleyway they would see two men fighting with thick sticks, beating each other with them, blood flying into the air with each slap. They were groaning in pain as they fought, one got on top of the other once they were taken to the ground, pushing the stick into the man who was crying out in pain, trying to hold the stick back. <br>
<br>
The stick being stabbed through his neck slowly even with his hands trying to push it back. Arthur saw this bloody fight and stopped to watch, looking at the two as the man cried out for help weakly, " <b>H-Help...! Please...! Anyone...! </b>" The two were not easily identified due to being in the dark alleyways, but the group had a opportunity to help this man who would be in a weakened state if they saved him. "<b> No one is going to help you, Croven, you will die here in this alley alone! </b>" The other growled as he continued to push this stick into the man, painfully. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">What do you two want to do?</span> " Arthur asked.<br>

Things had become rather unpleasant. Shortly after the chaos grew to a fever pitch Francois had become separated from the group. It was rather embarrassing really, no sooner had he turned to gun down some overzealous pursuers Rudy and Clover had disappeared. He had been... irritated to lose sight of the object of his interest. They were an riveting lot and who knew when he'd have such an opportunity again! Besides this situation was one an man well up in his years had little hope of surviving alone. He had wandered briefly trying to follow their path and going where the fighting was at its worst, as no doubt that boy would be in the center of it. <br>
<br>
Then he felt it. To preface Francois isn't much of a mage. In fact his magical talent is all but nonexistent he can barely manipulate the mana within his body let alone the mana in the atmosphere or the elements.  He had no super senses, special abilities, or bloodlines and the like. In a world of magic and fantasy he was a rather unremarkable man. In fact one of his fellow staff members a magical teacher of some renown was almost fascinated by the sheer ineptitude Francois had for the magical arts. Why, he could barely tell when magic was in use outside of a lightshow and his innate magical resistance was lower than the average citizen. Now this is all being said to illustrate the gravity of what happened next. A vast source of mana so deep and grand in its scope that even he could feel it down to his bones. It was a feeling he had never had before but he was under no illusion as to what it was. For a brief moment he paused in his pursuit and he turned his head towards the wellspring of energy and power a rare look of awe and surprise on his face. That, had been unwise. Which leads us to the current situation. Subdued and captured by cultists. Certainly not his finest moment. The fanatics were a wildcard they were either laughably easy to manipulate or almost impossible to sway in their single minded zeal. The moment he had tried to so much as twitch they had beat him black and blue a busted lip and a black eye now marring his roughish old man charm. While torture and possible ritual sacrifice were not preferable Francois did not struggle or rage. He merely waited for his opportunity. He would die, just not today certainly not to them.<br>
<br>
As he was led to a most likely a literally god forsaken place by equally unscrupulous men his chance arrived in a surprising package, or rather chest. A creature resembling an animated monstrous treasure chest appeared and shot his captors. Francois was taken aback by the appearance of his rescuer and looked on in fascination as the the men the monster had shot were eaten and ripped apart from the inside by the arrows it had fired. Truly interesting. He gave a grin and a gesture of appreciation to the creature. He rifled through the pockets of a dying cultist and retrieved his hand gun. He topped off his rescue by shooting the remaining cultist of the group. Francois turned his eyes meeting the tired and haggard forms of Rudolph and Clover. His own battered face matching theirs. He smirked and stepped over a corpse. <span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman'">"Young man. How fortunate that we have found our way back together. I see a lot has transpired in my absence."</span></span> Francois took note of the presence of Dayle and his men <span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">"And quite the company you have taken too."</span></span> His eyes narrowed slightly as he addressed Dayle <span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">"I am grateful for you aiding of my young companions. And I praise how magnanimous you are in looking past our first encounter. Rather messy that was, unfortunate that in the chaos we killed a few of your men my condolences."</span></span> Francois words appeared earnest and even apologetic, but the smirk never left his face and any true remorse never showed on his face. Even beaten as he was he looked at Dayle not with the eyes of a man but a scheming monster. Then it was gone. He turned back to Rudy <span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">"Now we best be on our way while our monstrous friend deals with the rest of them you can fill me in on the situation in the meantime."</span></span> He eyed the bag which surely contained the stone a pensive expression on his bruised face.  </span></div>

<i>Scylla Vixen</i><br>
<br>
Scylla looked out beyond whatever living carnage remained only to observe as the flames continued to consume everything in their path. Scylla nodded at Arthurs suggestion to move on as she coughed with a hand over her mouth and nose. The stench was horrid as all manner of debris from the slums turned to smoke which included all manner of waste and burning flesh. It was a frantic scene, as screaming was heard throughout the area.<br>
Scylla followed closely, her light boots tapping about the wet cobbled alleyways. She’d look over her shoulder, making sure no one had spotted them. She wasn't used to moving among groups, she’d been mostly alone until now. Part of her felt uneasy, she didn't know where she was going and with the Underbelly in such a state of turmoil really added to her concern. She damned her luck.<br>
<br>
Upon hearing Arthur's response to her question, it was almost expected. Whether secrecy or ignorance it was impossible to tell, Arthur seemed very calculated in his words. Yet, suspicion didn't cross the young witch mind, after all why would he go out of his way to offer compensation and survival if his intentions were malignant? Reason suggested trust. At least for now.<br>
<br>
As she followed, Vasumirs bold question seemed to snap her out of her deepening inner thought patterns. She waited for Arthur to go first, as Scylla was not the most trusting of others. Down here it almost seemed as if you gave your name, you gave your life. A rule that her mind would need to overturn at this time, since working together to survive was generally more important now. And considering that they all just contributed to the death of six assailants, it seemed only fair to cooperate.<br>
Looking at the pale one as they moved through the shadows of the alleyways. Her features were hidden from sight holding her staff behind her back as she began.<br>
<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">“I am Scylla, Scylla Vixen…”</span> She’d look over her shoulder once more before looking back at him. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">“...what about yours?” </span>She asked as her eyes determined his attire. She had questions of her own to ask, but decided against them considering the circumstances.<br>
<br>
As they approached another part of the maze-like alleyways dotted about the Underbellies cityscape she noticed Arthur stopped to look back at Vasumir and herself. Scylla was amazed at the amount of fighting that had ensued, puzzled further at Arthur for stopping to consider the losing fighters life. <i>Was he trying to see what she would do?</i> Upon first sight it simply looked like just another fight among the many fights which had broken out hours before. Upon further observation though, Scylla's frozen heart seemed to thaw for the one about to die. Surely, she understood the cycles of life, death and undeath. However, the ideology that the strong preyed and destroyed the weak didn't sit too well with Scylla. It was impossible to determine if that was the case though, a thought the witch pondered as she crossed her arms in her usual way.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">“It’s unfortunate, but most fitting we do nothing..”</span> She began as she observed how the wooden stake made the man gurgle in his blood. Her expressionless face was cold as usual. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">“..yet somehow, strange as it may be, I say we save him to die another day.”</span> Scylla's mind recalled her mentors lessons on upholding the balance of life and death. She wasn’t used to feeling much sympathy.<br>

</div></div>So much has happened in this sort of time. Jason stood in a daze, still contemplating his own anger and confusion. He knew full well that it wasn't his anger and his confusion, but he also knew that it was something he could not stand. He wasn't going to simply lose his mind. No. This was something he could handle. Yes, part of him wanted to endure with his anger and kill everything in this path. However, he knew that that would make him no better than the people he despised the most on this planet. He stood up straight, leaning his shoulders back as he took a very deep and calming breath. He released it in a long exhale. He and the bugs became more calm as a result. Well, less angry that is. Jason decided that there was no point in making sure that the other people died. Rather, it was much more effective use of his time to make sure that his bugs were properly fed. He looked around and noticed that there was still a lot of corpses lying around.<br>
<br>
A smile formed on his face as he looked to his bugs "<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">Eat up.</span>" Each of his insects took off, not leaving too far from his side, but finding as many bodies as they could. It became a massive feeding frenzy all around him. Both his large, battle ready insects and the swarm of normal insects that followed him started to feast upon the flesh of all the corpses. Sounds of snapping bone and slurping of meat filled the air. Jason stood with his eyes closed, taking in the sounds of the feast. While the bugs were eating he turned his attention to the woman who stopped him from killing the rest of the group. Wondering what her deal was.<br>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1649374190400-png.974240/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/911/911370-003b44c6a5476c45cf09d5bde6ec29eb.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1649374190400.png" title="1649374190400.png" width="100" height="268" loading="lazy"></a><br>
Arthur Verg. Vasumir would remember that. He felt like someone who had potential, certainly someone worth remembering, even after this was over. Though for that, Vasumir would have to first overcome his current ordeal. The woman however showed clear signs of hesitation, while answering and after. Maybe he sould have formulated his question better? Yes, he should have asked what to call them, to lessen the apparent burden, but what had been done could rarely be reversed, this still held true in this case. But still, he would remember the name Scylla Vixen as well. It did pique his interest, that she had evidently not heard his former introduction, a mistake on Vasumir's part certainly, he should have assumed such, since the distance she had strayed, from the place where he had introduced himself, was most likely to great to assume she could have heard it. As such, he had to redeem his mistakes.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">"Vasumir. And pardon me, I had falsely assumed you.."</span><br>
<br>
 A plea. A man was crying out for help. Not htat it had been anything special, there had been many, he had seen since he had wlaked with the other two. Arthur oddly enough however, had made a halt. Just for this man. Even stranger was his question. Put aside that Arthur didn't seem like someone who would care for the man, he could have done at any other occasion, so why now? A test to determine Vasumir's character and morals? No, that would be foolish. It was impossible however to determine his intentions, he would have to ask him later. Ah! Maybe that was it? A reason for Vasumir to talk with Arthur later? A way to pique his interest? To increase the chance of him joing this academy? Truly most interesting, if that had been Arthur's intention.<br>
<br>
Scylla took however all the attention he had laid on Arthur's attention away. Her sudden shift, to be more exact. One moment she dismissed the man's pleas, the moment following that, she advocated to help. Truly most curious. Vasumir shared the same thoughts as she had initially. There was not much to be gained to rid this world from the assailant nor to save the victimized man. But then again, while Arthur seemed to had shown knowledge and experience with traversing the underbelly, it felt as if, this man could provide even greater help, not to mention, that Vasumir could test something with the assailant.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">"While I am most curious why you asked such an odd question now Sir Arthur, let me respond with actions first and inquire you about that later."</span><br>
<br>
A fight was practically unavoidable the moment Scylla voiced her intention, and Vasumir already determined that there was benefit in intervening. One of the benefits, was that he could once more refine what he had just recently acquired and used. As such, he stepped in and closer to the man, as soon as he touched him he started. Trying to let mana flow into the assailants body, but this time, he tried to control it better, to use less, to spread it out all over the body, trying to overhelm him, but not let him die from overflowing, just enough to incapitate him. After all, if the assaulted man was to die, at least the assailant could prove to be a useful source of information, and even if it failed, it should help Vasumir refine his fine control as well as increasing the chance for the next time, he had to make someone pass out instead of outright killing them.<br>

<br>
Dayle's blood boiled as he slashed and whipped the bastards down. His chains would weave and rattle, and the sickening sound of flesh tearing and being battered rang throughout his ears. His enemies would nearly get some shots in, but the help of his men and the rest of the group ensured that there was no further casualties on their side. This time, they were going to massacre those toothless fucks.<br>
<br>
Dayle didn't even know how much time has passed before he realized that the last of the opposition was beginning to retreat. He looked down to see a corpse of a lunatic beneath his foot, and the blood that flowed on the metal to his hand dripped and dropped to its face. It was lifeless, yet it was full of malice. There was abhorrence and disgust in Dayle's face as he kicked it away.<br>
<br>
Dayle stood, blood splattered all over his clothes, and his hateful gaze gone. He looked at the dead bodies scattered in the marketplace, as an emotion welled up within him. Exhaustion, not from the fight, but from the constant blows to his psyche. So much happened a short amount of time, things that would never happen in his wildest dreams. He could care less about the corpses of the bastards that tried to kill him and his men, but the fact that he cannot take two of his people back was a sudden realization for him. He had never thought that it would go this way. This was supposed to be some kind of recon mission, but instead he lost a lot without gaining anything significant. He let out a breath as he scratched his head.<br>
<br>
Hearing the mimic's question, he looked at the sleeping woman and the guy. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"It's better if you hear it from them."</span> He replied as he wrapped his chains back to his arm again. He still had some reservations against the chest mimic in front of him, but at the very least it doesn't seem hostile to them. Although he could solidify that he stood with the thief's group, they were also the culprit for the stolen stone. He'd rather let the man take the heat, and if things get worse, he can help cool it down later. Besides, he wasn't here at the start of the whole thing.<br>
<br>
He shifted his focus to the old man as he talked with a grin, but he had no mental energy to spare. He could've cursed and threw a punch, but instead he let the old man's words sink into him. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Magnanimous, huh."</span> he said as he looked at his men, who were recuperating with banter. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"I'd rather be with people who are interested in the same things as me."</span> He looked back at the old man to continue <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"In this case, we didn't like those fuckers, so I helped."</span> He hacked and spat at a lunatic corpse nearby.<br>
<br>
Finally, he looked at the man who helped him fend off the lunatics. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Hey."</span> he called, nodding at his direction. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Thanks."</span> He said, gratitude clear in his eyes. He saw what he did, and so it was only right to acknowledge him sincerely.<br>
<br>
He winded his arm as he walked towards his men, and they welcomed their boss with glad expressions in their faces.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Rowan considered the girl for a moment, deciding to tell the truth, as word had spread down in the Underbelly quite quickly. She herself probably knew about it, considering how goddamn fast the chaos had started. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Got separated from my boss when the chaos started. We're doing as everyone else is doing- looking for the stupid rock."</span> She was staunchly ignoring the bugs that were feeding on the corpses- an unfortunate reality that she had to compartmentalize, along with the other shit she had seen as a merc. Though, they didn't have much time- the man was probably coming back with reinforcements. <br>
<br>
Rowan walked over to the house the girl was at, using slow, measured steps to not startle her. Not that they couldn't take her, but it would be such a wasted effort to get her out of danger to kill her again from provocation. Then, seeing how close the houses were, she had an idea on how to loose themselves in the city- and hopefully find a way to get to the Seeing Stone, and back to Arthur. <br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"If we have company, they won't expect us to leave by the rooftops." </span>Rowan said calmly to Baxtor and Jason, using her magic (Advanced Barrier Stairs-E-0 Post Cooldown) to create a set of five stairs that led to the roof of the building, not quite next to the girl, but close enough so they could talk. She would hold the stairs up long enough so Baxtor and Jason could climb onto the roof with them.<br>
<br>
  <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"He can protect us,"</span> Rowan gestured to Jason and his sentry bugs, his little minions doing a fine job of protecting them thus far. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">" While I can provide an alternative escape route. Most gaps in the buildings can be crossed with my stairs, and I can keep making them. That man said you killed their leader's kid. I personally don't know why, and don't care why. As long as you're not going to act shady and betray people who saved your life. Even if you get one of us, well...you've seen what we can do."</span> Rowan paused, to give a little more weight to her words, as she didn't need to threaten the girl. She didn't seem stupid enough to go against them, even with Baxtor being injured, but it was best to give her a hint that it wouldn't be so pleasant to turn on them. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"My name is Rowan, and I'm offering a deal of sorts. We're looking for my boss at the moment. If ya want to come with us, maybe get a job and build a life for yourself aboveground, then by all means come with us. Bonus points if you know where the exit is and can lead us to it. If you come with us, fine. If not, it's no sweat off my back. It's not charity work, as you seem capable. Though, they're probably coming back soon, and your chances are better with a group than by yourself, even if only for a short while." </span><br>
<br>
Whatever happened, Rowan would use her Advanced Barrier Stairs to get them across the gaps in the houses, leading them away to go find Arthur and the cursed stone. Or at the very least, she would let someone else lead, who knew what they were doing.  If she needed an  extra stair or two, she would use her Basic Barrier Stair-F-Multiple Post Cooldown to aid in getting them across, combining it with Advanced Barrier Stair to lengthen the distance she could go, or at the very least, give everyone a railing so they wouldn't fall off if they became  unbalanced.</div>

Baxtor sighed heavily decidedly ignoring the soon to be dead man's words as he stared frustrated at his inability to wrap his own broken arm. Finally deciding to ignore fixing it at current he walked behind the dead bandit where his sword was picking ut up with his left hand careful not to move the broken right arm at any time, when he picked up his short sword he sheathed it before slowly walking over to Rowan and the others silently. When the bugs began to eat he turned his head away disinterested in it entirely. As rowan began to speak baxtor nodded at certain things but was clearly distracted by his pain and injury, once the adrenaline died down it started hurting heavily causing baxtor to clench his teeth doing his best to endure the pain. Baxtor may not be looking forward to it but he knew he must make a sacrifice to survive down here since there was no "Decent" doctors only organ merchants.</div>

Mim, the Mimic Knight, looked happy to have these companions reunited, they seemed to know one another. Although there was something biting at him, and he wanted to say what he was thinking. " <b>Hold there you lot.</b> " Mim proclaimed, walking up to the small group of survivors that have made it through this terrible day for the Underbelly. Just another day honestly. " <b>I can sense a power coming from you few.</b> " He pointed at the down and sleeping Clover, clutching her bag with the Seeing Stone inside. "<b> That she holds, whatever she has caused all this chaos, that made these gangs fight one another and killed innocents. </b>" Mim explained looking at the sleeping woman, his large eye then looked to the few of them left.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1649998372187-png.976312/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/913/913442-751ead748c3ccc20be524e35ff7288ff.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1649998372187.png" title="1649998372187.png" width="100" height="137" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
 "<b> I should just eat you all, not like you'd be able to stop me. </b>" Mim spat out a tower shield about six feet tall with spikes on the front about seven inches long, then alongside with it, Mim also spat out a large scimitar, catching both with his long arms, holding the shield on the ground and resting his sword on his shoulder looking at them all. Ready to slaughter them all... But. Mim felt different, this wasn't completely their fault, they couldn't have known about whatever they were carrying to cause all of this, to summon cultists and that Long Legs he has heard so much about. " <b>But I won't kill you lot.</b> " Mim sighed, like it was a very difficult decision. " <b>Behind you go further into the marketplace, you'll see a couple of armed civilians, tell them Mim sent you. They'll take you to an evacuation crew that are headed to the city of Ryken. </b>" The Knight explained, he was about to explain more when there was a loud deep breath behind Mim. The Mimic stopped and chuckled instead, thanks to his 360 Vision, he was able to see what was coming and turned his body around.<br>
<br>
Behind Mim, the Mimic Knight, stood that same hooded figure that had a dagger to Rudy's neck, smiling with his eyes glowing purple as he stared at his prey. He exhaled deeply while hands were placed behind his back, slowly he pulled out two long and wicked looking daggers, jagged and sharp. Almost like they were broken, he watched the group and stepped forward. "<b> <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">You all will make great slaves for the First Rulers when they return. Once I convert you and show you the true way.</span> </b>" He proclaimed, "<b> This entire Twisted Underbelly will see the true extent of the First Rulers, especially with the Academy's Prototype. We will show you all the true way.</b> " He continued. " <b>Scavengers and vermin, the lot that you are. Become true and ideal. Hail the return of the Tyrant Siblings. </b>" He chuckled evilly.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1650000918508-png.976313/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/913/913443-af4d2f7a8ab0579c0ca241a164f123b5.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1650000918508.png" title="1650000918508.png" width="155" height="100" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
Mim gave a low laugh, " <b>A casted away scum that turns innocents into walking brainless abominations, your end is here.</b> " Mim announced, an eye appeared on his back to stare at the group. "<b> You lot, best get out of here, take the woman and that stone as well, gangs and wars are the least of your worries, cults are the priority. Keep it out of their clutches, find the evacuation crew and they will get you out. Hurry. </b>" Mim then closed his eye as he moved forward to face this mysterious foe. Both opponents stared at one another, they charged and clashed with each other. Loud clings and clangs echoes into the air, moving fast with their attacks, they pushed each other back. This would be the time to move while Mim had this cultist occupied.<br>
<br>
When the gang was able to pick up Clover and her stone, they headed on their way further down the marketplace, finding dead bodies of civilians that were ripped and torn apart with wicked looking weapons. Kiosks broken and turning, strange symbols were drawn on the ground with blood and insides, heads were placed on each corner of these symbols with gouged out eyes, broken jaws and ripped out tongues. Ahead were the bodies of dead cultists on the ground, killed with quick and precise strikes. Slashes across necks, stab wounds through hearts and stomachs or entrails ripped out. After that were three bloodied guards covered in plate and leather, holding weapons that were covered in the same blood. They were fighting off a few cultists, blocking attacks and striking back at these cultists. This had to be the evacuation crew, they had too advanced of armors and weapons to be regular thugs. "<b> You there! </b>" One of them called, holding one hooded cultist back with a arm as the cultist had their hood raised up, trying to bite at the man.<br>
<br>
"<b> We need help! You aren't with these...! Things! Help us! </b>" He called, finally pushing the thug back and stabbing the cultist through their neck and twisting it just to pull out with a sickening slice. Only for more to approach from an alleyway. There was about six more that came out of the alleyway, seeing the group they turned on them, drooling and growling. Having no tongues, they only made grunts and disgusting growls. Almost communicating with each other, they moved forward and spread out, this was their last trial before finally getting to freedom.<br>

<br>
The girl the three had saved and got themselves injured for stared at each of them. "<b> You guys aren't very organized. </b>" She spoke, her voice sounding like silk, but it had a hint of coldness to it, seeing the bugs devour the dead Leatherguard in front of her, she didn't flinch at the sight of watching a person be torn apart by these hungry bugs. In fact she smiled a little. Looking up at each of these colorful characters, she sighed. "<b> Alright... I want to make a deal, I am looking for safe passage out of the Underbelly, I know the way out but I can't reach it on my own.</b> " The girl stared at each of them, " <b>But since I am alone and it looks like you fools want to leave as well, especially his<i> royal highness </i>over there. I just need a group to leave and you few want out. I'd say it's a good deal.</b> "<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1650086232980-png.976645/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/913/913775-8ba81d2994a7c5f8e7e84b5fb86a4c1e.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1650086232980.png" title="1650086232980.png" width="100" height="180" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
Now as she gave them a proclamation to consider, one more Leatherguard came running out of the nearest alleyway with a large smile on his face, stopping in his tracks seeing the sight before him, he was some young kid, younger than the girl they have saved. " <b>You guys get her!? The boss is expecting her-</b> " His smile soon turned to shock and doom. Seeing his friends being devoured by bugs and the murderers standing above them, he didn't have words at first, looking up at each of them then saw the girl. " <b>Oh no.</b> " He whispered, only for a magical arrow to find it's way through his chest, the kid spat up blood and took a step back, looking down at the magical arrow through his chest, his eyes looked back up at the girl the group had saved, holding a magical blue bow in her hand readying another arrow.<br>
<br>
With tears in his eyes, his hands were shaky, " <b>W-Wait Aelsha-</b> " He spoke as if he was familiar with the girl, but an arrow flew through his eyeball and into the back of his head. The child soldier then fell to his knees and fell forward on the ground. The girl, Aelsha, had let the arrow go, having no emotion in her eyes, " <b>Never thought you would have betrayed me. Shame.</b> " She then released the magic as the bow dissipated into the air. Looking to the group again, she shrugged, now staring at Rowan upon hearing her deal. " <b>Actually, I'll take that deal.</b> " Aelsha stated coldly,<b> " Your stairs will be very helpful in getting away from these fools, I know the way out of here, I hear there is a Evacuation crew by the marketplace, these homes lead to that part over there. </b>" The girl explained. " <b>Well, your boss should be capable of himself if you're capable. He'll be there or he won't. Depends on if he is strong, if he isn't he will be dead, but that's no sweat off my back.</b> " She was very smarty even with a cold expression.<br>
<br>
She followed Rowan up onto the roofs then began to lead the group over the rooftops with Rowan's ability at hand, as they moved, they would see Leatherguard members moving through the alleyways below them, they were moving back to wherever in a quick manner. But then new people would come into the territory, hooded figures carrying daggers that looked broken then molded. "<b> Interesting... Never seen them before... </b>" the girl whispered, looking ahead of them on the rooftops, they would see a Leatherguard laying against a chimney, bloodied and torn up. Letting out whimpers and groans of pain. "<b> Damn those beasts... </b>" He muttered quietly, trying to cling to life. Seeing the group he groaned. " <b>Who are you lot? </b>" He asked but then saw Aelsha, " <b>Ah, never mind, didn't expect you to be saved.</b> " The man groaned, barely able to move. He was torn up, his body was covered in slashes and deep gashes, his face was more messed up, half his face was flayed off but his eye was still intact, his other eye on his intact face was ripped out. " <b>You finally leaving, are you? Well you best get going before those beasts get you. </b>" He chuckled a little but then groaned in pain from laughing. <br>
<br>
Aelsha stopped and faced the man, crouching down, " <b>Hello, father, I didn't think I'd find you in this state. What did this to you? </b>" She still sounded cold and unconcerning. The man groaned, " <b>That new group of savages that came to the Underbelly not that long ago, they are moving into our territory, the ones that praise some blue something. They have more dimwits in their cult than we realized.</b> " He hissed in pain. <br>

<br>
Watching the two unknown men fight each other, Arthur had respect for them, he could see how badly wounded they were and through the sounds they were making, the desperate noises, these men were fighting with all they had. But one had the upper hand over the other. Hearing Scylla and Vasimur's opinions, Arthur nodded, about to take a step forward, Vasimur was already ahead of him. Arthur didn't say a word and followed after the albino mage, ready to activate his ability if needed. Vasimur using his mana flowing powers, bloated the man full of mana, letting the man Croven go, falling backwards with cries of pain. Not like the man could do anything when weak as he was, Arthur then turned to the down man that almost lost his fight and life. "<b> Oh gods thank you!</b> " The man let out a heavy sigh, sweaty and bloody, he held a hand up. Arthur took his hand and pulled him up to his feet. Croven then leaned against the wall catching his breath. "<b> Thank you... </b>"<br>
<br>
Arthur stared at the man as he caught his breath, looking to Vasimur and the man he held under imprisonment, "<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> Good use of your abilities, Vasimuir. </span>" He looked to the exhausted man who finally caught his breath and stood up straight staring at his three saviors, he then looked and stared at Arthur. " <b>You. "</b> He exhaled. " <b>You. I heard of you, you were the one that beat that old elf up, Setzen. </b>" Arthur thought for a moment before replying. "<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> Yes I did. And I would again.</span> " Arthur admitted. Croven laughed before he held his side in pain. " <b>Yeah, I'm glad someone did. We can't touch him. </b>" The man groaned, " <b>He's in our gang, one of the top member's uncles. Loves to talk his shit and think he owns us all. None of us could do anything so I am glad he got his face beaten in.</b> " Croven laughed, "<b> You are a friend to us, the Divees. Our gang knows of you, we will help with anything.</b> " Before Arthur could speak, he heard members walking into the alleyway, " <b>Gods I hope Croven is alive! He got dragged away from our fight!</b> " <br>
<br>
There was a small group of gang members, wearing chainmail mixed with scales. " <b>Oi! He's with those fools over there!</b> " The group was spotted before getting ran up on. But Croven waved a hand " <b>WAIT! </b>" He screeched until the small group stopped in their tracks, holding broken and worn-down weapons. " <b>This is the guy that beat Setzen up, he put his foot in his mouth.</b> " Croven explained. The group of gangmembers that were about to attack them immediately changed their attitude. " <b>You did us all a favor! That dumbass has had it coming! </b>" " <b>Yeah! That damn old elf thinks he can run the gang from the back!</b> " " <b>Yeah! Fuck him! </b>" The small group all chimed in, showing their approval of Arthur. Arthur didn't look too amused, he knew what to do. " <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">I am glad to have helped, but I am more concerned with getting these two out of here. Will you please help us? </span>" Arthur asked. The group all looked at each other then back at Arthur, "<b> Of course we will.</b> " It was Croven that spoke up. "<b> You helped us shut that elf up, we will get you to the marketplace, a few of our gang are there helping the Evacuation Crew with civilians. The Divees remember their friends, even though our higher ups don't like you, us grunts do. We will head there now before you get found out.</b> " Arthur felt relieved, thankfully this terrible situation has turned in their favor. <br>
<br>
"<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> What about him?</span> " Arthur asked, pointing at the man that Vasimur held down. Croven picked up his stick and limped on over, " <b>Waitwaitwait! Please-! </b>" Croven stabbed the stick through the downed man's jugular before moving on, " <b>Bastard tries to kill me and thinks he can plea for his life. </b>" One of his gang members began helping Croven move. Arthur sighed as he followed after the small gang that would lead them to their freedom from this terrible place, the smell of burning bodies and blood filled the air. As the group moved through into the open city, corpses filled the streets, large piles of bodies were being burned. Blood would fill nostrils mixed with the stink of death and burning bodies. The more they walked, the more corpses would be seen. Everywhere, the streets barely could be seen, so many people died and for what? Nothing. Eventually the group would make their way up to where the marketplace was where they would find dead hooded figures with disformed faces and half naked corpses with black sacks over their heads, many of their corpses covered the ground. They would see armed guards fighting off these strange, clothed people that wielded jagged and sharp weapons, they had no armor so were cut down easily. " <b>You there! Come help us! </b>" They called. There were a few of these strange enemies that turned on the ground and charged at them, wielding jagged daggers. <br>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1650157501800-png.976807/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/913/913937-003b44c6a5476c45cf09d5bde6ec29eb.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1650157501800.png" title="1650157501800.png" width="100" height="268" loading="lazy"></a><br>
Coincidence after Coincidence. Fateful Encounter after fateful encounter. One after another. It was clear, these events, they had to be orchestrated, to be manipulated, by another entity. Another force. Hmm. But why did it matter? His thoughts, his decison was to follow fate, or whatever he wished to call the puppetier, all while questioning whether it was the right decision. Yet neither felt right. Neither questioning nor following, was what he wished. Wished? No. Wanted. It just felt... odd. These feelings, they were new, yet they felt, nostalgic. And his thoughts, certainly were just as seperated from his feelings, as he was from his previous position. Yes. Previous position. There was it. His past self, that was the source of his confusion, if that even was the right word.<br>
<br>
But no time to think. Wait. Was he trying to surpress his thoughts? Was it even important to listen to what Arthur had done? Was it important, to gauge the intention of these newly appeared goons? Yes. As a distraction. Although the smell of corpses certainly provided a great amount of distraction as well. And then there was the sound of weapons clashing at each other. More adversaries came into his sight. Held back by armed men. Hadn't been long since he had encountered them last. Folk who were more capable, or at least more resilient. Resilient enough, that he did not believe, he would be able to come out unharmed, if even alive.<br>
<br>
But they had the advantage. Wrong. We had the advantage. In numbers at least. Vasumir had to adept, that he was at least currently working together with others. But there was something else he had to adept to. Something he hadn't expected. So unwelcome and yet so helpful. Fear? No. Hesitation.<br>
Ah. His body tensed up. Now he understood.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(61, 142, 185)">"Hahaahhahahahah."</span><br>
<br>
Vasumir just couldn't control himself any more. No, he had tried so hard and did it too much, yet he had at the same time failed to control himself. So paradox. Yet so clear. His damn logic, and his damn instincts, both had not accustomed, had not changed. Vasumir realized it, both still acted as if he stood in his previous world, as if his life had to be preserved, as if he still had to fulfill an important goal. It was truly harrowing, just how much he had actually failed, to accustome properly. Why didn't he realize it sooner? All the contradictions...<br>
He had forgotten where his life once had begun. He had forgotten, that he once felt just as he did right now, and how these feelings, brought him to where he once was.<br>
<br>
His instincts and logic, tried to preserve him. Both remained stuck. He slapped his cheek.<br>
<i>Wake up! <br>
...<br>
Yes.</i><br>
<br>
His memories resurfaced, saving him once more.<br>
His childhood days, trying to survive, yet also, acting without hesitation, without worry. No foolish self questioning, just doing, what he thought to be right. He cared to much for the potential outcome. To much about his future, about this future. He knew nothing of this world, yet he had tried to project his old one onto it.<br>
<br>
<i>So foolish</i>. He shook his head.<br>
<br>
He had already succeeded in his task before, he didn't have to care nor change this world in any way. Just life in this world, once more, just life as he wished.<br>
Just like old times...<br>
<br>
What did it matter if he perished? It didn't!<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(61, 142, 185)">"Pardon my... outburst."</span> Vasumir smiled, as genuinely as he hadn't done in a long time.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(61, 142, 185)">"I just had realized, how amusing life can be. Now, Sir Arthur, since there seem to be more adversaries standing directly in our way, I assume a fight will break out? I do not care particularly care for the life of the assaulted, nonetheless, these creatures seem to be a problem wish shouldn't be delayed. But I digress. I would have to ask you for your direct assistance once more, for I did not suddenly acquire new abilities. And while I do enjoy our talk, I fear, delaying the inevitable any longer, will most likely require me to have another realization." </span><br>
<br>
If he so much as spent even a second on overthinking his coming actions... He would probably hesitate again, stop his actions, and then regret having done so. <br>
<span style="color: rgb(61, 142, 185)">"So, I hope for my own well-being that yours truly, is ready to intervene. This instance."</span><br>
<br>
It was stupid, rash, foolish and a thousand other negative things. Yet, necessary. Such an opportunity of high danger while accompanying relative safety. He couldn't assume for it to come again. Neither any time soon, nor even ever again. He just had to rush, to act in extrem dissonance and confrontation with his very being. If he didn't change, his survival was worthless. That was, what he felt this very instance. He felt his heart pump.<br>
Faster and faster and faster. Increasing with every step, every meter he came closer to the enemy, to his opportunity and his potential death. Did he felt excited?<br>
<br>
... Hah. How long had it been. He had forgotten, how nice it felt, to not think everything over, to just act. To just throw yourself in to a mess. Would he succeeded in grabbing these creatures and pumping them full? Would it even be effective against them? Did he have enough steam, to fill up even more than one? All these question, he usually would have thought about, not this time. This time, only time and chance would tell, whether he succeeded and whether he would even come out as more than another corpse.<br>

<i>Scylla</i><br>
<br>
Scylla followed slowly behind Arthur, immediately noticing Vasumir once again perform his mana trick. Surprisingly it kept working, to which Scylla nodded in approval as she crossed her arms. Her cold eyes staring at the painful bloating as the man slithered in affliction. She thought about her early days learning about magic, harnessing it, twisting it to her will. Savoring every second of agony she instilled upon her coven's prisoners.<br>
Still somewhat in disbelief at her decision to spare the losing fighter, it was not in her nature to reveal sympathy. She suddenly felt vulnerable. Weak. Exposed. She hated feeling mercy. In such a cruel, crude place there was no room for a bleeding heart. But it seemed that’s what it would take to escape this hellish place.<br>
<br>
Her gaze turned towards the one they saved as he began to laugh. It seemed Arthur had a reputation within the Underbelly. She wondered just how deep his connections went in this horrid place. Not out of suspicion but out of self interest. Perhaps, he could be persuaded to join her cause. She wondered, as her amber eyes glowed within the hood of her cloak.<br>
<br>
Arthur and Croven exchanged words, most of which was common praise. To which Scylla assumed would have its repercussions down the line. Beating up a reputable thug could spur into action all manner of vengefulness. But for now, it seemed this Croven was on their side, and really at this moment that’s all that mattered.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">“We should move on.”</span> She said with a tinge of restlessness in her voice.<br>
<br>
But before anyone else could speak, a voice and many footsteps could be heard down the alley. Chain mail, rusty iron and many rugged smirks revealed a group of ruffians approaching. Scylla's face contorted in disgust as she prepared for a fight, her wispy magic once again manifesting as the raw necrotic energy was summoned to her will. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">“Right on time.”</span> She remarked bitterly, Yet, before she could utter a spell Croven threw himself in front of her with a loud shout.<br>
<br>
Upon Crovens’ explanation, Scylla blinked with surprise as the gang began to shout all manner of approving vitriol and less than savory praise towards Arthur. She glanced back at him confused as her magic neutralized and returned to her usual state. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"><i>What the hell is going on here?</i></span> She thought as she returned her gaze towards the gang who had agreed to help them. More than a few returning her gaze in lust, murmuring and mumbling inaudible suggestive comments.<br>
<br>
Scylla scowled as her arms crossed, surely they could find a way out without this gang. But strength in numbers was always a reassuring reason to follow through with the plan that was unfolding. Even if the company was unsavory.<br>
<br>
She had moved to stand next to Vasumir as Croven limped towards the swollen opponent at her feet. Not thinking twice about piercing his face with the very same stick he’d be killed with. The witch smiled. A cold reality ran through Scylla's spine reminding her of the aggressive nature of people. Even the most civilized, if faced with hardship, wouldn't hesitate to kill. Mercy was an exception, never the rule.<br>
<br>
As the gang set the pace out of this vile place, walking past giant piles of burning bodies, gore filled streets and numerous wounded bystanders. The waterways were stained with crimson and entrails were scattered about the cobbled roads. Scylla followed at some distance next to Vasumir covering her nose with her cloak - the smell was overwhelming. Hearing him laugh all of a sudden made her head tilt in confusion. Then slapping himself made her roll her eyes. He seemed composed until now, but she assumed it was all beginning to tax his mind. He appeared anxious, or nervous.. maybe both as he explained his defenseless situation. To which Scylla was sympathetic as she placed a cold, porcelain hand on Vasumir's shoulder. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">“Don’t be afraid..” </span>She started <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">“..stay close, I’ll look after you.”</span> Soon they arrived at the marketplace, the area looked like a grueling battle had ensued. Suddenly a few of the strange clothed fiends charged at them, Scylla looked on with spite as she prepared for battle.<br>
<br>
The staff in Scylla's hands awakened at her beckon, black shades and white spirits encircled the witches figure as she made the incantation, taking careful aim she’d focus the spectral magic at her command at the rampaging dagger wielding cultists. [Spectral Blast]<br>

<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"This is the last stretch boys!"</span> Dayle declared as he ran with his group <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Show 'em hell!"</span> With a flourish from his chains, he attacked the nearest cultist with a colder hatred than before. The presence of more allied forces caused Dayle and his men to form a tighter formation and covered their flanks as they advanced. It wasn't a rush of attacks, but rather a steady pace of attacking and defending trying to conserve their stamina as they got closer to the allied forces. His men would bob and weave between the chains, covering their backs as well as having clear view to punch anyone close.<br>
<br>
For a single moment, Dayle felt relief from the sight of the evacuation team, but his eyes immediately focused again once he saw a few more cultists coming in to join to fray. There were six, but the team were already busy dealing with the rest of them. It was going to be tough, but Dayle steeled himself. The way out's right there, and there's no way in hell he will let it go. He planted his foot forward, and whipped his chains as it struck like a coiled snake at the incoming cultists (<b>Catch 'em Lackin</b>). The rest of his men took positions around Dayle and would provide him with cover if needed.<br>
<br>
He and his men were getting exhausted from everything that's happening. It would be best for them if they could end this skirmish soon and get out of the hellhole known as the Twisted Underbelly.<br>

Baxtor scoffed at the women's comment of "his highness" and decided he would stay silent for now seeing as though he was horrifically unprepared for this trip to the underbelly and make sure his next steps were more careful once he got back topside. As he followed he nodded silently to himself at the death of the betrayer, but made no further gesture. When they arrived at the wounded man he was quite surprised at her cold and unfeeling addressal of him even though he was dying and giving advice but then again he did not know their circumstances nor their background. Baxtor idled close making sure to stick close to the group incase anything happened but was otherwise thinking on things in his head.</div>

Rowan heard the girl's name being called, and she turned her head to see the girl, Aelsha, shoot the boy in the chest, killing him. It took a few seconds to process what happened, but how fucked up it really was made her stomach drop. On one hand, it hurt to see a child be killed. On the other hand, he was old enough to understand that in betraying Aelsha, he had sentenced her to death and torture. She didn't say anything- she didn't need to. Betrayal wasn't something that could be taken lightly, and she had the right to kill the boy. Didn't feel good, but betrayal never felt good. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Let's go, everyone."</span> Was all she could say before they set off, not about to let this cloud the ultimate goals- escaping, finding Arthur, and finding the godforsaken stone. <br>
<br>
Her job was to focus on the path before them, and she focused on that, making sure everyone moved safely across the rooftops. Though in her opinion, the cold and unconcerned act seemed a bit forced. Maybe it was real, maybe it was fake, or it could be a mix of both and living down in the underground. <br>
<br>
Somehow, they came across Aelsha's father, who seemed to be dying. Rowan had done enough merc work to know that he was dying- and he probably wasn't going to live from his wounds. Sure, Rowan didn't know jack about her father, or how  her relationship was to him. She could still offer her courtesy. Though, Rowan had enough power to allow herself to be warm to Aelsha, considering her father was dying and someone she had trusted betrayed her. Though, it would be against the girl's best interest to consider that kindness to be weakness. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"> "Do any last rites you want. We don't have much time." </span><br>
<span style="color: rgb(239, 239, 239)">Either way, Rowan would use her powers to get them away, keeping them out of harm's way the best she could. </span></div>

Baxtor cracked his neck clearly disinterested by any funeral rites said man would have. baxtor was more concerned they could catch up to arthur and the stupid rock before they fell too far behind. baxtor looked from aelsha to her father but sighed before speaking "As if the god here cared about such small things" in baxtor's opinion the god's mass reincarnation he was pulling off was done because fixing the world more directly was beyond his means already which was why he was entrusting everything to a massive group of strangers who didn't even know of each other. baxtor scrowled thinking of the fact that the Everfrost family didn't think the same skipping over himself and choosing his brother all because baxtor himself was another worlder. sighing sadly baxtor looked at the underbelly ceiling clearly distraught at his family and circumstances of both worlds. After a brief self pity moment baxtor once again spoke " Although it would be nice to do some long ceremony i don't think arthur will wait for us considering my impression of him but maybe he's just a super serious person i don't know the academy didn't give me much information about the others... whatever i just hope he got that stupid thing and is ready to leave this god's forsaken place."</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Breathless. Chest heaving with the exertion of the fighting, Rudolph finally lowered Clovers weapon as the last of the cultists ran. How he managed it... he could only account to his newfound strength in this world. And this weapon of Clovers. He was alive though... they were alive. And that counted most. Counted more than having killed some people. Something to worry about later.<br>
<br>
Francois was back. Good, the old man survived. Rudolph acknowledged him and his help with a nod. It was good to see some friendly faces here. Like Franky. Like this Dayle, fellow who seemed to be proving a good ally in this so far.<br>
<br>
Unlike this abominable chest monster. Save them only to think about eating them.   Could Rudolph stop the thing? Maybe? Maybe not... though if Rudolph was going to be destined to go down a monsters gullet, he'd damm sure do all in his power to make sure the monster choked on him.<br>
<br>
At least he didn't have to find out.<br>
<br>
<br>
"<b>I hate this place</b>..." he grumbled under his breath. Madness after madness, it seemed. Somehow getting blame for this mess was somehow adding salt to the wound. But no sooner could he explain himself than an all too familiar figures appeared. A madman to add to all this madness. Not ideal. So much for having lost the cultists in the market place... they should have kept running....<br>
<br>
<br>
Rudolph was already back with Clover. Still konked out. How to get her out of here and fight.... that was easier said than done as they weren't out of the woods yet. Not by a longshot, and if their luck kept coming up like this, then they would probably never get out. Be hounded by these freaks u til they keeled over from exhaustion and stabbed with some rusty knife. Or eaten. Or fall to their deaths. Or stepped on by a giant bug. Or caught in a fire. Or some magic thing blows up. Or shot by someone with their guns. Yeah...<br>
<br>
"<b>I'll give you the full run down once we get out of this place. But I am sure glad to see you... I was worried you might have died back there. Sorry we couldn't have slowed down to check. But yeah... let's book it.." </b><br>
<br>
There was no time to get creative... hurrying as he could, he reached his arms under Clover and lifted her up. With one arm supporting her back, and his other holding up her legs. Standing back up and making sure that he had a good grip on her. He wasnt about to leave her behind in this. No.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
With Clover in his arms, Rudolph gave a respectful nod to Dayle, and followed after him. The sooner the better. The sooner they could get out of her. But even as that mimic knigjt was covering their escape.... even then the cursed luck of the Underbelly reared its ugly head.<br>
<br>
<br>
The scene they entered was yet another one tainted by violence and murder. Bloody carnage.. Death and cultists. These guards, the first guards Rudy thinks he has seen this entire time here, were not faring so well against them... so much for having a nice escort out of here.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Dayle didn't need to be told twice of what needed to be done. He was already getting into position.<br>
<br>
Almost moving of their own accord, Rudolph stepped forward to help clear a way through... but stopped. He had Clover. And he could set her down... not with the cultists... not with that sibling freak leader. If he set her or the stone down... they could lose both. He wasmt about to let that happen... yet something in him really hated the thought he wasn't helping.<br>
<br>
"<b>We'll push forward and get out of here together</b>!" Rudolph told the guards. "<b>Mim sent us. If we can get this girl out of here, then this entire shitstorm down here should calm down. We can't let these freaks get her.</b>"</div>

Arthur shook his head as he walked towards these figures, the smell of burning bodies wasn't enough, he could smell the disgusting cultists as they neared, they smelled of death, blood, and gross body fluids. They looked like wild madmen, wielding jagged and almost broken daggers. They were putting their lives at risk, yet they kept coming at them, even with no armor they weren't afraid to die. Arthur groaned a little, getting sick of all this fighting, yes Arthur was getting sick of fighting. He just wanted the day to be over, the hallucinations of the people Arthur had killed in his previous life appeared within his vision, their whisperings quiet. The former hitman saw both Vasimur pass by him, something completely out of character for him, at least to Arthur who had met this man earlier and he seemed very calm and collective.<br>
<br>
Arthur didn't really know what got into his head, but the hitman inside him didn't mind seeing Vasimur act out. He groaned as his purple arm began to glow, pushing his arm out and grasped onto a weapon that manifested before him. (<b>Spiritual Ordnance: Basic - E - 1 PC) </b> "<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> To the grave you all will go.</span> " Arthur growled with hateful malice, before him Arthur saw the faces of those he has killed, but they did not matter, what mattered was helping these people out of here. He felt like these two strangers were his responsibility, or at least he wanted to help them out of this terrible place. In Arthur's hand conjured a 9mm pistol, twelve round magazine, semi-auto. Arthur felt the weapon in his hand and smiled, walking in front of Vasimur and Scylla, "<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> Keep yourselves safe, let me be the one to get hurt.</span> " Arthur said coldly pointing the gun up at the first cultist, he fired. <b><i>BOOM!</i></b> Arthur watched his bullet make it's connection into a cultist's head, instantly taking them down. They were still human, that meant they could easily be killed.<br>
<br>
Scylla's Spectral Blast would tear apart a rampaging cultist that came closer, giving no regard for their own life nor caring for one another's. Her blast would slice one cultist into pieces of gore and limbs, The Divees gang members moved on ahead and began battling the cultists, "<b> Go! We got these fools! They won't kill us! We'll see you soon!</b> " One yelled as they fought these fools. Arthur looked to Scylla and Vasimur, "<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> Let's go. We need to keep moving.</span> " Arthur told the two, grabbing Vasimur and pushing him forward then looking to Scylla, giving her a nod, he wasn't going to touch her but she would know what to do. Moving ahead, there would be more cultists fighting the rest of the mercenaries that were hired to make sure everyone that wasn't hostile made it out of the Underbelly. Arthur pointed his pistol at the closest cultist and fired, a bullet flew through the head of one cultist that was about seven feet from the approaching three.<br>
<br>
The scaled armor mercenaries were doing their best on defending their position, cutting cultists down with extreme ease, their armor now that they grew closer had an eagle on their chest, these men were a serious group of fighters, able to hold their own against this overwhelming force of crazed individuals. Arthur would be able to see the group from earlier, Francois, that thief being carried by her boyfriend, and the Red Star Bastard with his remaining gang. Arthur was a little relieved, they had the stone secured, this was good. Eventually the cultists would all be extinguished, luckily, they were routed and easily dispatched. Eventually they met with one man who had a silver eagle on his shoulder. "<b> Hail.</b> " He looked tired, his sword and armor covered in cultist blood, his eyes looked steel and determined, the eyes of someone who has seen war. Arthur faced the man still holding his own weapon, that being an ethereal 9mm. " <b>Are you here for the evacuation? </b>" The man asked.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1650679317114-png.978446/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/915/915576-abfbb2072acd39e93f1587f65b30cc66.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1650679317114.png" title="1650679317114.png" width="100" height="170" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
Arthur looked over the corpses that had been just dispatched, then back to this mercenary captain, "<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> Yes, these two need to go. </span>" Arthur pointed his hand to both Scylla and Vasimur, " I am staying behind for a time, I need to find a few of my allies. " Arthur walked pass both Scylla and Vasimur, " <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Get going you two.</span> " Arthur moved onto the next group that had just killed cultists, the group with the stone, Arthur wasn't afraid of being outnumbered one to over three. " <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">You were able to survive, I'm glad and impressed. </span>" The former hitman looked at each of them, but his eyes stayed on Rudy. " I need that stone back, in return I will give you an opportunity to join the Ryken Academy, a magic school. You seem very capable. But I will need that stone, to return it back to its home. " Arthur wasn't going to take no for an answer, this was going to go two ways, give the stone and accept the reward or to refuse and be attacked, Arthur still held his ethereal gun, showing he was armed and not kidding around.<br>
<br>
Eventually a deal was cut, and Arthur would offer them an opportunity to join the Academy, the most he could do but this was a large thing, especially with Francois there to confirm that. The stone was handed over in the bag and Arthur threw it on, the group would continue to the evacuation crew as Arthur stayed where he was to wait for Rowan and Baxtor, the two he had to care for. One he paid and the other being a dumbass that he had to make sure was still alive by the end of this.<br>

<b><i>Abandoned Home Complex, Leatherguard Territory</i></b><br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1650512265263-png.977915/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/915/915045-2fb06a735b03f0df8991ec7a4030a782.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1650512265263.png" title="1650512265263.png" width="178" height="100" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
Aelsha looked at her father who didn't look like he held any regrets, she stood up hearing what Baxtor and Rowan had to say, she turned her head to Baxtor and stared at his arm. "<b> Big talk from someone who got themselves crippled. So quiet down while I talk with my father. </b>" Aelsha turned to her father and conjured her bow out of thin air, pointing it at her downed father who still stared at his daughter. "<b> Any last words, father?</b> " She asked, the man chuckled before spitting blood on the rooftop. "<b> Yea, i got words. You won't be able to escape the Leatherguard. They'll hunt you down. You killed the Leader's son, you ain't gonna get away with it. But I don't wanna watch my own daughter die. So I will help you escape. There is a evacuation crew near the marketplace, Leatherguard were suppose to go help but we got pushed back and eventually completely shut down by those fiends. As you can tell.</b> " The man laughed a little before he groaned in pain. " <b>Take care, daughter. Do as you must. </b>" The girl did not hesitate to fire a bow into her father's skull. " <b>Goodbye father.</b> " Her bow dissipated and she moved on to their next destination. She knew where the marketplace was at and this would be her opportunity to leave.<br>
<br>
As the group moved, they would see that these strange hooded and half naked people were becoming more apparent and eventually began leaving, they would luckily never come across any in a fight, but they would see them. The group would see bodies of innocent people, mercenaries, these cultists, and even of children. Finally, they would reach a point where they would see a large mimic with arms and legs holding weapons fighting a hooded man with red markings on his robes while holding two long jagged daggers, weapons clashed as both fought with ferocity. The large mimic looked like he was enjoying the fight, being on even ground with this cultist leader. Before long, the mimic was able to bring down his scimitar onto the man's shoulder, slicing it through the man's chest. Mim then grabbed the arm and flung him away like a ragdoll. The knight laughed almost evilly in an unnatural way. His eye turned to where the new group appeared. Seeing the four along with bugs, the mimic cleared his throat before moving towards the group.<br>
<br>
" <b>You here for the evacuation? Keep going up the road, don't be alarmed! I'm here to help!</b> " Mim gave a smile, but it instead looked very sinister since he was a mimic, " <b>Farewell and stay safe! Let the evacuation crew Mim, the Mimic Knight sent you! </b>" Mim moved on pass the group as cultists came up the road, Mim used his weapons and began to attack, quickly taking them out before moving on. Going up the road, the group would see Arthur standing there holding his gun, he sighed of relief when he saw Rowan and Baxtor. Walking towards them his pistol dissipated. " <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Good, you both made it.</span> " Arthur still sounded cold, " <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">I was able to retrieve the stone back, we best get going. Our mission is complete. </span>" His eyes looked at Baxtor and his useless arm, not saying a word, he walked off to where the mercenaries were at. Reaching the mercenaries Rowan would notice the eagle marked warriors, they were from a great Merc group called the Talons of the Eagle. They were a powerful group that was ever growing, they were notorious for taking on any job. This must have been one of them.<br>
<br>
The mercs were sitting down, having their rest, being covered in blood and wounds, they were keeping a lookout for any enemies, seeing the new group lead by Arthur, they nodded their head up the road. Arthur would lead the group up the road to where more Talons of the Eagle were at, more corpses of other mercenary groups and cultists were cut down on the ground. The rest of the two groups would be waiting for passage to Ryken, where a ladder that led to the over city awaited for them. When Arthur approached, they would be next, after people were siphoned up the ladder and Baxtor was helped up, they would reach the night sky of Ryken, they were in the slums where many innocent people made camps, waiting for everything to blow over. Arthur sighed, looking to the people he had promised for the academy. Looking to Rowan, Arthur pulled a small sack of Ryken gold out of his small bag and handed it to her. " <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Paid in full. Your other reward will be ready in the morning.</span> " Arthur then left to go give back the stone to the academy.<br>
<br>
Out of all this chaos, all this insanity. One question remained, who wanted the stone?<br>
<br>
<b><i>Back in the Underbelly...</i></b><br>
<br>
Footsteps walked over corpses, wielding a large hammer that was stained with old blood. " <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">Excellent. Finally, peace, law and order can come to this cesspool of depravity and filth.</span> " A older voice chuckled. " <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">All this blood will be for the better future of Ryken. </span>" The voice laughed as a large knight walked through the alleyways.<br>
<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="font-size: 26px">Isekai Hell RP Grade</span></b><br>​</div>The Twisted Underbelly... A simple idea that flourished into a large-scale RP and even a place that can start future rps, this particular rp had a lot happening, especially offscreen. Seeing characters get split up, adapt and get used to their new allies and deal with their environments. Each character went through their own trials, NPCs have been established and met. A lot has happened, a possible conspiracy in the works.<br>
<br>
Other than the context of the RP itself, there was a lot of bumpy parts, whether it be on my part of not posting in a timely matter or rushing my replies like with the end, people not posting, others dropping out then joining back again. A lesson has been learned in this and that is to set a limit for people to join, makes the RP sail smoothly and faster. Other than that, it was good for the most part, a lot of lore has been explored in the process. Again, i want to thank you all for joining in this RP that flourished into what it is now.<br>
