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.

[ "What have you slain? There are many creatures who have infested this place. Darkmantles, a bat swarm, and a spider in the watchtower outside." ]

How big of a spider we talkin' about?

[ the wolf looked between them, tail swishing between its legs. "Big." ]

[zwy_il]

I'm always down for killing spiders.

[adamantiumed]

Where are these bats you're on about?

[ "Follow the hall to the end, and you'll find them infesting the ruins there," it snarls. "Simple tasks for those who could so easily fell my brethren." ]

Fine. We kill them and we get the mushrooms. Deal.

[theminotaur]

[ abigail hesitates, licking her lips and staring at the wolf. (sense motive 26) he's huge. way bigger than the dark mantles. why didn't he just do it himself? or make his pack do it? trust no man. ]

[cuivre]

Oh, yeah. Totally simple.

[No sarcasm there at all. Nope. idek what you're talking about.]

[adamantiumed]

[ abigail gets a VERY BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS. IT MAKES NO SENSE and also that wolf is eyeing them all up like he's oh so hungreh. ]

[theminotaur]

Logan... [ it's just his name, but it's heavily weighted with NOPE THIS IS A BAD PLAN, and she keeps her eyes on greypelt the entire time, fingers twitching against her knife like she will throw it at his face if he so much as takes a deep breath. ]

[grimrot]

[Grimrot is also staring at the wolf, but trying to figure out more about it in a very different way (knowledge arcana(???) 23 IF THAT IS THE RIGHT KNOWLEDGE she knows other kinds of knowledge better).]

[adamantiumed]

[ grimrot knows all about worgs really. logan looks between them all, raising one woolly brow at the worg. ] Maybe I got a better idea. [ snikt goes his claws. ] You just give us those, and we leave without any trouble.

[ his intimidate was only a 14 though so the wolf just starts laughing, which is a horrible noise.

"You're not the only one who has claws. Do you expect me to fear yours?" ]

[grimrot]

[Grimrot steps forward, hands held forward.] Look, we're simply surprised that a Worg would need help hunting. Can you really blame us for suspecting there might be more to the story? [Diplomacy 24.]

[adamantiumed]

[ logan looks annoyed by this attempt at talking it down, HE WAS ALL READY TO FIGHT IT.

"I can't be bothered with such filth. I have better prey to stalk." ]

Yeah, I'll bet you do.

[theminotaur]

[ what if... abigail... throws one of her knives at it. :)

'cause she's gonna, with supreme purpose. (crit atk 26, dmg 18) because of her skills (and the bloodletting feat), if it hits he'll begin bleeding and take 1 additional point of damage per round until the wound is healed because that feat is fucking hella, tbh.

THIS IS NOT A FRIENDLY PUPPY! ]

[cuivre]

[Miles will take that cue, because the thing sure isn't going to keep talking to them with a knife sticking out of it, and he dashes forward to punch the thing in the face. 'Cause that's what he's good at. Cars and punching (atk 22, 8 dmg if it hits).]

[adamantiumed]

[ abigail's knife buries itself in the creature's throat, blood spurting out and matting its fur. before it can recover enough to react, miles is upon it, slamming a fist into its snout, and knocking loose a fang.

veins bulge out of logan's forehead as he goes into a rage, letting out a bestial roar and lunging forward to bury his claws in its side (atk 33, dmg 20). the wolf growls and snaps its jaws as he twists the blades inside of him, but it doesn't appear to be dead yet. ]

[zwy_il]

[Nels would have preferred walking into a trap, over a cowardly sneak attack... But no going back now. He draws his blade and charges, slashing with a mighty 31 (Boosted with cunning insight, and just one shy of a critical. Cruel world.). For 12 damage.]

Roesor, Kal'daka.. (Sorry wolf.)

[theminotaur]

[ abigail darts in to slash at it with her second knife. (atk 22, dmg 7) ]

[adamantiumed]

[ nels cuts a hunk off the worg's other side, and then abigail squeezes in between miles and wolverine to stab it with another knife as it thrashes against them all.

"Cowards!" it hisses, snapping its jaws at abigail (atk 22, dmg 15). it also gets to try to trip her for free without provoking an attack (str 13, opposed by a dex or str check on her part) ]

[grimrot]

[omfg you all this wasn't what Grimrot wanted. She shoots Abigail an annoyed look, drawing her mace and swinging it at the wolf (....crit fail). Her heart really isn't in it.]

[adamantiumed]

[ oh god she accidentally hits abigail, so... roll damage... ]

[grimrot]

[OF COURSE SHE DID at least it's only 4 damage.]

[cuivre]

[Miles is totally oblivious to the friendly fire and he throws another punch into the warg's face (action point says 31 which is also a crit, 19 dmg).]

[adamantiumed]

[ with one final injured dog squeal, the wolf is killed as miles knocks its teeth back into its skull. logan retracts his claws, drawing his arm back and glancing around to make sure nobody else got too fucked up in the brawl.

/init ]

[grimrot]

[Grimrot makes a frustrated noise.] I could have talked to him! It was entirely unneccesary to resort to violence that quickly!

[And then she shoots a guilty look towards Abigail.] ...and I'm sorry I hit you. [That's part of why she didn't want to resort to violence. She's no bloody good at it!]

[theminotaur]

It's fine. [ so whatever. abigail seems ambivalent, tbh, and moves to the pile of mushrooms, immediately scooping them up and shoving them in her backpack with the rest of the supplies. those people in the village are on a timeline, y'all. she's pretty sure it was necessary, but she's not going to bicker about it. she looks up at logan. ] I think we have enough now.

[cuivre]

Yeah, you could have talked to him, and he still would have sent us off killing a bunch of other things. Remember?

[Still, it might just be an excuse. He's had enough of killing things for one day.]

If we've got enough, then let's get the heck out of here.
