Lotus and the Cobra [IC]

[National Acrobat]

Mira sprints to safety, ignoring attacks as long as she can in order to safely carry the yogi's body to a place that is secure.

 

[Mirth]

Zhangyong, Yudhistra, and Gutpa

Making your way through some thick elephant grass and a corpse of trees, you sight the hut. The smell of rotting flesh is faint in the air. Ahead you see Adus and a aminalistic man talking, a small form at their feet. About 30 feet away from them, the body of a badly decomposing elephant can be see.

"The boy!" Zhangyong shouts then releases a high-pitched chatter and bounds towards the form. The vanara looks at the stranger and shouts, "What have you done to him?"

 

[Tonguez]

Mira sprints to safety, ignoring attacks as long as she can in order to safely carry the yogi's body to a place that is secure.

Arjay can feel the rage building within him as he leaps amongst the Babboons his Kukri 'Great Fang' whirling and striking Babboon flesh. He waits till he is confident that Mira is far enough away and then leaps over to the body of the Yogi Sarkuman and lifting him up begins to run...


(ooc Can I use Speed of Thought and Hustle whilst Raging? If not then no rage - speed is the key here!)

" Sanjit has done nothing to the village-boy Vanara... Sanjit is but a humble spirit in his humble home." Sanjit glances at the elephant corpse "Some cruel creature has done this here, some evil devata of the jungle... Sanjit must indeed be a terrifyng creature to behold!" With a sudden look of realization, Sanjit's snout begins to shorten as his posture straightens slightly. His paws elongate into hands and before you stands a thin man with the hint of a mustache and beard (only a few whiskers really) and beady eyes that dart from the large man with the bow, to the frantic humanoid ape in front of him. "You see now... Sanjit is a powerful Swami, but he would not harm the people of the village, who treat him with respect..."

 

[Byrons_Ghost]

Yudhistra glances at Adus, as if for confirmation of the swami's story. Seeing no disagreement, he asks "Can you tell us what happened here, swami?"

 

[Robbert Raets]

"'I apologise for speaking out of turn, Kshatriya, but should we not return the boy to the village first?""

 

[Yellow Sign]

Mira, Ayjay

Mira with the burden of Jval's body over her shoulder runs threw the gap in the hostile baboons. Dodging and weaving she evades the attack of one of them. Ayjay seeing her start to move away summons his inner strength to lift the hermit's body and run after her. (yes you can rage). With superhuman strength and speed, Ayjay catches up with Mira, the baboons giving chase. After running a few hundred yards with the apes in pursuit, the ground infront of you gives way to a cliff. Down below some 30 feet a waterfall spills into a stream. You turn and see the baboons in a tight circle advance towards you blocking any retreat. Their red eyes glaring and what seems to be a horrid mocking laugh escapes their throats.

 

[Tonguez]

Gazing down at the waterfall and stream bleow then back at the advancing baboons. Arjay growls as he tries to assess the relative risk - stay and fight the remaining Baboons or jump and leave his fate in the hands of the spirits.

He quickly looks across at Mira
"do we jump?" he asks having made up his mind to do so "I am willing!"

(ooc plus rage and catfall should help)

 

[Mirth]

Hearing Sanjit's explanation, Zhangyong ignores him and places all of his attention on the boy. After checking over the boy's body, the brahmin will try and spontaneously cast any healing he needs to in order to help the boy recover. "You are correct, Adus," the vanara says without looking up, "he should be returned to the village post-haste. I can fly him back quite quickly. The rest of you should stay here and examine the elephant. I will return as soon as possible."

 

[Hob Marshmallowfoot]

"Oh good Brahmin, Sanjit thinks that this boy may have seen the creature that left the elephant in front of his humble home... perhaps he can tell Sanjit where to find this devata, so that he may scold it for playing pranks."
