WHO || Anastacia O'Keefe, Bambi Dalton, Frankie Matera, Helen Magnus, Alaric Saltzman, Alice Lincoln, Edain, Thoster Chatwyn, Hook, Adi Laskaris, Max Rast, Brantley River
WHAT || A team of Knights is tasked with providing transport off the Island for local Shadowkind
WHERE || Andres Isle
WHEN || September 19th, 2014
HOW || Actionspam

[ The two groups responsible for evacuation of Shadowkind travel to the island via stealth boat, which puts their arrival a little behind everyone else's.  They run aground not far from both the woods, and the harbor.   Edain grins out at the sleepy island, dressed in full armor, hand on the hilt of his sword.  Anastacia frowns as she watches the woods, however, clearly more on edge about what they have to do. ]

From here, everything looks so peaceful...

No! [Bluff 13.] I know I’m great. I just think you’re mad at me for fighting with Astrid and now you’re punishing me for it.

[sirsolace]

Keeping you in reserves for those who require quicker healing is hardly a punishment. I should think it would speak very highly of your skill.

[godblessyou]

...oh.

[She squints at him trying to figure out if he's just saying that to appease him but her sense motive is a 7 so I guess it works....]

I guess that's good, then.

[lurings]

[ BAM ABIGAIL BOUNDS BACK ON TO THE BOAT. heeeeeey youuuuuu guuuuuuuuys. ]

There is a shack full of body parts.

[sirsolace]

A what?

[lurings]

A shack. Full of body parts. At the end of the dock. Where that guy was injured.

Leftovers.

[ she still looks a little green and ill at the concept. ]

They sent me back. But in case they all die, I thought you should know.

[godblessyou]

Are we talking food leftovers or creepy experiment leftovers or a mix? Are we going to see the... rest of the leftovers come to attack us?

[lurings]

Probably both, creepy experiment leftovers turning into food leftovers. I don't think its a danger -- the other team was attacked by crabs. Scavenging, I'd bet.

[sirsolace]

It seems this island holds more secrets than we'd feared.

[theminotaur]

Or cannibals.

[ sur...prise?????????? there is no possible way any sentence could ever be delivered with more blandness than how abigail just said that.

cannibals should not be that common.

where is fred to use as her human shield. ]

[sirsolace]

[ this fun conversation interrupted by a text from wynn... that makes solace look remarkably grim. ] Wynn has requested my assistance. I dread to think what may have prompted a personal request.

That means you'll both need to hold position here, and field calls. Sir Timbers should be back soon. Between those of you who remain, come to swift agreement, and send out whoever is most fit for the task. I am certain you can see past your differences to reach an accord in this dangerous time.

[lurings]

[ no.

running down to the other side of the docks is one thing. solace was still within reach, if she screamed loud enough he probably could have heard her.

solace leaving? leaving her alone on an island that is renown in their circle as a hotbed of torture and death is an entirely different thing. if she hadn't been with solace she probably would have backed out at the last second and stayed in england.

and now he is leaving her alone with another squire?

ha.

she pales, eyes widening, but says nothing. her expression is pretty clear -- let everyone else die, stay here please. ]

[ex_noble101]

[Y'all are going to be getting a call shortly ring ring bitches.]

[lurings]

[ SIGH SHE IS RINGING. she packs her emotional trauma away and picks up. ]

How bad is it?

[ yeah, she ain't wasting any time, tone sharp and brusque. does he need a cleric or a medic, basically. ]

[ex_noble101]

I've had worse. A few ... bullet wounds, I believe they're called. [Yeah, that was the word he was looking for right.

But he doesn't know about Han yet so whoever is sent will get a surprise second patient woo. I think those are just bullet wounds also tho.]

Our team is currently holding the guardhouse, though whoever is sent should take care that they aren't spotted on the way here.

[lurings]

Okay. Be there as soon as possible.

[ she ends the call abruptly and turns to taradiddle. ]

Bullet wounds at the guardhouse. Do you want to go or do you want to field the next one?

[godblessyou]

How bad is it? Probably should save the magic for someone who's really badly off. [As much as Tardiddle would like to rush off and save the day, she knows she only has so many spells. Doesn't LIKE it but knows it. So she's being all MATURE blah blah blah and keeping her powers in reserve. Solace better be proud. Also this way I'm not healing myself shhh. Everyone has character development for different reasons.]

[lurings]

He said he'd had worse. [ she shrugs and leans down to heft up her rifle, before her hand darts out to squeeze the other girl's arm in a brief, rare, show of... not quite affection. maybe solidarity. ] Be careful. The people who need the big stuff are going to be in the most danger.

[ and therefore taradiddle would be in danger. she doesn't want to leave the gnome by herself but solace said erky would be coming back soon??? so she sets off quickly. if she hesitated, she just wouldn't go. she's not thinking, just moving. see you later, yo. ]

[sternshield]

[ erky arrives not long after, looking around in surprise ] I'm not sure whether it's a good sight or a bad one that almost all of us are out in the field.

[godblessyou]

Least the rest of 'em are being useful. [And are probably still alive?? She just doesn't know.]

[untethered]

[ maybe not. a text comes through from belle as soon as she says that. ]

We need healers in the Shadow village, as soon as possible. Several Knights are down.

[godblessyou]

Several? [Taradiddle blanches, but stands up.] I guess this one's my cue... [And boy does she ever hope she has it in her. But she's still got all her spells. It's time to use them.]
