[center][color=fff79a]Catarina La'Spada[/color][/center] There was a sting in Catarina's side. It wasn't the most painful feeling; this mercenary was no stranger to a blade going into her gut. but the numbing sensation that followed shortly after wasn't good. She figured these gnolls would poison their blades, and unfortunately of all the magical supplies they brought Cataraina did not have any cure poisons. She did have anti-toxins, which hopefully would let Cataraina rest out the effects of the poison. Hopefully. In a mix of anger and pragmatism, Cataraina made sure to cut off the gnoll's head, just in case anyone had any idea of turning him into a zombie out here. She'd do the same for everyone else, but looking back towards the group it seemed like Vivian had some explaining to do. So the fighter stumbled her way over, listening as everyone spoke. Alexander did the knightly thing and talk about how he couldn't turn over Vivian for reasons of chivalry and all that, but Cataraina was much less honorable. [color=fff79a]"Those gnolls had a job, and so do we. Raiding that ruin. Can't do that without you Vivian, and unless they dropped 50,000 gold right at our feet, I wasn't going to let them just walk away with you. That being said, anyone else here want to drop their disguises?!"[/color] Cataraina yelled rather loudly. The poison was making her rather antsy. [color=fff79a]"Really now... Once we get somewhere to rest... You and I are going to have some words."[/color] Cataraina looked at Vivian before getting back onto the wagon, popping an anti-toxin to numb the effects of the poison. [hr] [center][color=brown]Parum[/color][/center] By the time Parum got up it looked like the battle was over. Malkai came over to cover for her but that didn't seem necessary. [color=brown]"Thanks big guy. Didn't have too much trouble there did you?"[/color] Parum joked with Malkai before it looked like a scene was starting. Vivian apologized to the group, Alexander defended her actions, but Cataraina seemed a bit peeved. She loudly asked if anyone else had a disguise, but of course no one was going to drop it. Unless Malkai was as dumb as most orcs. Parum at least had no intentions of revealing her motives. [color=brown]"Hey, come on now, I'm sure we all have our own ghosts from the past. Let's not let it ruin our partnership together. Like she said, how about we all get to that village, find a place to rest for the night, and then maybe we can use that chance to get to know one another, yeah? Sure, maybe none of you are looking for friends, but no sense in being enemies, right?"[/color] Parum also climbed into the wagon, taking her seat back at the reins. [color=brown]"See if those gnolls have anything else with them that could help us. Potions, money, maybe even notes."[/color]
