WHO || Logan, Grimrot, Miles, Nels, Abigail  [Closed]
WHAT || The Knights head to a secluded village to help put an end to a dangerous disease
WHERE ||Falcon's Hollow, Canada and Darkmoon Vale
WHEN || April 21st [back dated]
HOW || Actionspam. Single thread, don't worry about maintaining tagging order.

Perched at the edge of any civilized lands, the small lumber town of Falcon's Hollow has always had to rely on itself to solve its  problems.  Now the hacking coughs of the sick are heard throughout the town.  The plague has come to the Hollow, and the town is ill equipped to stop it on its own, particularly given its resistance to magic.

That's where the Knights come in, sent to assist a local herbalist in putting together enough supplies to mass produce a cure.

[ she stifles another pained noise as he grabs her, looping her good arm around his neck to help him out a little bit. and maybe so she can hide her face against his shoulder. ]

[adamantiumed]

Hold on. [ he yanks them both up, arm muscles bulging, and then helps grab abigail and pull her back up from miles ] How bad is it?

[theminotaur]

[ she takes a moment to dip her hand beneath her parka, fingers pressing against her collarbone and shoulder, not managing to hide the pain that streaks across her face. with a treat injury of 30, she definitely knows what's up, slipping her hand down to cradle her arm gingerly. ] It's dislocated. I have a sling in my first aid stuff, I'll be fine.

[adamantiumed]

Place is probably full of traps like that. We've gotta be careful.

[zwy_il]

Wonderful. [Search 20 to look around for more surprises.]

[adamantiumed]

[ not far from the edge of the forest shrouded lake, just north of where they discovered the pit trap, a fox with large ears and bright orange fur lies bleeding, its hindquarters caught fully in the jaws of a crude iron trap. it's whimpering pathetically, and seems to have hurt itself more struggling against the trap. ]

[cuivre]

Oh geez, poor guy.

[He keeps his distance, but bends his knees to try and look less intimidating.]

Hey buddy. Can we try to get you out of there?

[Handle Animal 16?]

[adamantiumed]

[ the fox stops moving, watching him with wary eyes. he can attempt a str check to pull the jaws open, and everyone can make spot checks in the meantime ]

[theminotaur]

[ abigail continues to be a failure at everything with her spot of 8. she's too busy settling her arm in to a sling and making a mental note to ask logan to help pop it back into socket when they're finished. ]

[grimrot]

[Grimrot, at least, has her eyes decently open (spot 19). She grimaces in sympathy at the creature as Matt tries to help it.]

[cuivre]

[His strength check is a burly 22. Watch dem muscles flex, ladies. Or actually watch what's going on around them that's cool too.]

[adamantiumed]

[ the fox puts up no resistance as miles removes it, whimpering pathetically. it's badly injured, its hindquarters slashed and bleeding.

grimrot notices some movement in the nearby tree line, as if they are being watched... ]

[theminotaur]

[ she can't see the extent of the injuries, but the animal's cries make abigail want to cry. ]

It may be kindest to put it out of it's misery.

[grimrot]

[Grimrot frowns and looks up squinting at the tree lines.] There's something out there. [She touches the handle of her mace anxiously.]

[adamantiumed]

[ logan turns towards where grimrot indicates, sniffing the air. ] There. [ pinpointing where whatever it is is hiding serves to freak out whoever it is, apparently, because an arrow comes whizzing out abruptly right at wolvy's chest. and... bounces off him lmao with a clink. logan looks down and growls in irritation, extending both sets of claws and snapping his head back up at the bushes.

with a snarl, he leaps into the foliage, another arrow whizzing by his head before he snatches up whoever's back there in his grip, raising them out of the brush and over his head so that everyone can see the muscular, gray-skinned creature that peers down at him with tiny, frightened eyes. wolverine brings up his other claws to the creature's neck. ]

[theminotaur]

[ the second logan starts moving, abigail draws one of her knives, moving to stand in front of miles and the fox. that's it though, just moving.

and then what the fuck is that???? abigail does not know (arcane lore check 7) and she's pretty distracted by logan just holding him up by the scruff of his neck like a cat. wow he is strong. ]

Rude! [ YOU CAN'T JUST SHOOT PEOPLE. ]

[zwy_il]

[Nels draws his weapons, and waits, searching the area quickly with a Spot Check 25.]

Does our rude friend have company?

[herebemonsters]

[ "No, no!" it cries. "Only Grung! Don't kill Grung. He is only hunting." he struggles against wolverine's grip but not too hard b/c those claws are pretty fucking scary no lie ]

[grimrot]

Oh dear... [Grimrot rushes over and gives Grung a sympathetic look.] Don't worry, Grung, we won't hurt you. Not if you can... refrain from shooting at us again, anyway. [She looks up at Logan like right, right?] Why were you hunting us? We're hardly good food.

[I mean. Not all of Grimrot's ancestors would agree with that statement. But that's besides the point.]

[herebemonsters]

[ they'd realize now that the monster has a prodigious cleft palate, making some of his words difficult to understand. ] Grung-- Grung just so hungry. Hard to catch food in these woods. Take what he can get.

[theminotaur]

Were you trying to protect your food from us? [ she gestures to the fox. ]

[adamantiumed]

[ logan scowls, dumping the thing down finally but still keeping one hand curled in a fist with claws pointed at him ] More like that was the bait. Wasn't it, bub? [ the creature squirms and doesn't answer, which is... enough of an answer in and of itself ]

[theminotaur]

[ !!!!!!!!!!! ]

You were torturing that poor fox for bait? [ she was going to offer him some of the food in her pack, but fuck that tbh. learn to be a better hunter. ]

[cuivre]

Looks like you got more than you bargained for.

[He didn't really think he could take all of them, did he? Come on now.]

[herebemonsters]

Please, just... let me go, let me go! [ logan's fist moves ever closer to him, and it's clear that he'd rather kill the guy personally ]
