(Adventure) A Merry Chase *Judge: Uriel

[Thels]

OOC: Sorry for being inactive. It seems like on the long run, I'm unable to spend enough time on En World to stay up to date on all the games I'm in. I had to bail out on the majority of my games, because I was becoming a bother to the other players. Hopefully, by sticking to a small amount of games, I'll be able to stay up to date.

OOC2: Zoe was kind of waiting for a confirmation on an Evil Aura upon the creature after it's death.

Zoe looks around, frustrated that she can't see any of the townsfolk or noting any presence of evil aura's. Evil creatures running loose. This is what I was trained for all these years, but now what am I doing? Sitting here on my horse and waiting! "Persephone, Rinaldo, Princess?" she names her comrades in a questioning tone, "Does it not strike you as odd that none of the other townsfolk is to be seen? Surely there has been enough tumult by now to wake most of them! It seems like either they fled, or that we came to late and they all ...", suddenly remembering the young boy, Zoe halted her speech, albeit likely too late.

 

[Manzanita]

OOc:Are we in a town? I was thinking we were near an isolated farmhouse.

 

[Kahuna Burger]

ooc - to clarify, yes, you are out in the boonies, but there are other farm houses about - the dark and empty one was the only one you have passed directly by, but you can sees a couple maybe a half mile away by their lights. There are no close neighbors, but there are others who may be in danger or may just be cowering...

the princess says quietly, "this is the outskirts of the realm still - and any standing soldiers or guardsmen have probably been called out to hunt for us in the hills... other common folk have likely gone to ground hoping to avoid whatever the trouble is. Earling doesn't grow heroes such as yourself in its sheepholds..." She is using her mature voice again and has remained still and quiet other than to respond to Zoe's question.

From inside the house the laughter rises again, and the boy seizes Persephone's hand "Please, miss, please if its still hurting them!" He looks almost as if he would charge into the house himself in a moment.

 

[Manzanita]

Persephone

"Yes, let's go." Crossbow loaded, she approaches the door, though hoping one of the others will take the lead.

 

[Velmont]

"Princess, Child, stay behind, me and Zoe will be in front, so no harm will be made to you." And on these word, Rinaldo lead the group, with Zoe at his side if she want...

 

[Kahuna Burger]

OOC: sorry, was waiting for a position from thels, but I'll auto zoe to move this night on...

Leaving the princess on the horse and boosting the child up with her, Zoe enters the house beside Rinaldo, with Persephone close behind. Inside is a hideous creature, large as a man but squat and strangely bulky. Its arms are chitenous and oddly jointed, looking like insect legs stuck on a huge furry body. As you watch it from behind, it laughs again and swipes into the cabinet its facing. A broken broom handle wards off its advances from inside - it seems the creature could kill whoever is hiding there with ease but is enjoying the game more for the moment.

As they step in the creature hears and turns toward the group, revealing bulging insectoid eyes and two giant wicked fangs.

Persephone is up first...

 

[Velmont]

"I really should have made the militia training..." Rialdo put hiimself on guard, his buckler in frot, his rapier ready to strike. On his actio he will move foward and try to strike. If he can do it on the same turn, he will feint before. If there is only enough place for one person on the font line, he will let Zoe take the place and try to find a way around.

 

[Manzanita]

Persephone

"Yuck - how gross!" Persephone gasps, but not before snapping & sweeping her fingers in the motion for a daze spell.

 

[Kahuna Burger]

"Yuck - how gross!" Persephone gasps, but not before snapping & sweeping her fingers in the motion for a daze spell.

The creature shakes it ugly head and seems to throw off the effect.

(Rinaldo, big ugly then zoe)

 

[Velmont]

OOC: Is there enough place to figth the creature two side by side?
