Viridian Plague: Act II--The Lady of Prophecy & Act III--A Shred of Hope

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Yep--Trayah is making sure that M'ress and Whinoah don't get any taint at all. So far he's done so.)

*The group heads out towards the sounds of battle. And first Whinoah, then the others after her, do see what Rowanne has described. Two of the shadowy panther creatures with the glowing green eyes are fighting against a mixed group of four Feldori and Lacerta...at first glance, but something is wrong with them. Their bodies reek of the scent of corruption. Looking closely, they seem to be covered in calloused chitinous plates, their claws have grown long and sinister, and their eyes glow green with dark malice. Who is winning isn't exactly clear. The cat things have a decent number of scrapes and seem to growl in pain from them, and their green-eyed opponents have some bigger wounds and ignore them as if they don't feel pain anymore. Both sides seem to be healing over time.*

Trayah, Lacerta Shaman

*Trayah shrugs as Rowanne reveals their eyes are indeed green, just like the others, before reluctantly following the group. While they watch the battle, Trayah watches the Feldori and Lacerta closely, as he tries to identify what exactly is wrong with them.*

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Using his finely-honed knowledge of healing, Trayah can determine that the way the Lacerta and Feldori are moving and reacting to blows, they are most likely not alive at all.*

*Just then, one of the panthers roars and rips apart one of the Feldori. The Feldori hisses, as the body falls to the ground in tatters. Seconds later, greasy black smoky mist begins to rise from the body, coalescing into an intangible form with green eyes, which glares balefully at the panther and screeches, spewing inky tendrils of tainted darkness.*

Trayah, Lacerta Shaman

“Hrrmmm, the Feldori and Lacerta no longer appear to be alive, so it seems we have a new kind of foe to challenge us...which seems to survive after the demise of the host,” Trayah remarks apprehensively in hushed tones.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*The panthers don't seem to be able to hurt the risen intangible form, though they do manage to take down two of the other three, releasing similar smoky wisps of darkness and green glowing eyes. At this point, the panthers are injured badly enough that they flee into the trees. The remaining Lacerta and the three incorporeal menaces screech and hiss in anger, and then they turn towards their watchers in the nearby brush and head towards them. The Lacerta has to pick his way through the trees, but the other three just walk through them and thus move much faster, like evil spirits intent on the kill.*

Whinoah beings to assault the ones moving swiftly with her bow, knowing the look of a predator.
