[center][COLOR=FIREBRICK][H3]KATALMACH[/H3][/COLOR] [img]https://i.imgur.com/05YsBEX.png[/img][/center] Katalmach merely snorted as Rairsun came out of his tent and insulted Katalmach. [color=firebrick]"Bah. Yer die by next morning if ya eat any of his chow. He cooks and shits in dat helmet of his. Rotten Crapshield."[/color] Katalmach turned his nose to Raisun and continued serving his curry. He looked to the pink haired girl. She had a smart mouth and a smart eye. [color=firebrick]"Aye lassie, ya right dere. Dis food might be on da house right now, but unless ya want slop from stumpy over dere, ta get more of my grub yer gunna have ta earn it."[/color] A distinguished gentleman came up, speaking to Katalmach respectfully as the orc served the priest some curry. Nodding to him Katalmach made a grand sweeping motion. [color=firebrick]"Da Camp, as you can see, is a shit hole. Crumbing buildings, no fortification, just tents and prayers. Not to mention dat mysterious cave dere wot kills almost everything that goes in. Cept me of course. Still, da stuff in dere ain't stuff ya want outta dere, so if ye don't want ta be some monster's midnight snack, ye gunna want to make sure you have a nice lil abode to be in when everything inevitably goes down hill."[/color] Katalmach put a lid on his pot and locked it to ensure no one could get seconds. [color=firebrick]"Unlike Charity McRunty dere, wot's mine ez mine and if I think yer gunna get me killed you're bait. But pull your weight and be a contributin member of dis lil family, and I got ya back. Or run off into da forest and hope you don't get killed by tainted watered, diseased bugs, or lassie-eaten beasties. Don't matter much ta me."[/color] Kat crossed his arms and looked to everyone to gauge and see their reactions. If they weren't still confused and gobsmacked by the absurdity of their situation, then Katalmach will get started in dividing responsibilities. [center][color=forestgreen][H3]EBONY[/H3][/color] [img]https://i.imgur.com/uNbC6Wf.png[/img][/center] Ebony simply smiled as Rairsun and Katalmach had their little spat. Like a couple of love rivals, those two. As Kat was chatting up the pinkette and the priest, Ebony decided to saunter over to some of the other newcomers and bring them up to speed. First she went up to the loud one. [color=forestgreen]"Hey there big guy, no need to make such a fuss. Things around here can be confusing, and they aren't going to make any more sense anytime soon. This is... Well, the camp. We haven't really given it a name yet. We're here to explore this cave for it's riches and dangers. But the cave isn't the only thing we have to worry about. This forest is filled with wild monsters and dangers of it's own. Yet at the same time, it has plenty of bounty for anyone willing to find it. As for how you got here, I don't know either. Frankly this is the first time I've ever seen this happen, but I'm not surprised. Regardless,"[/color] Ebony tapped the big man's chest. [color=forestgreen]"My name is Ebony. I'm not much for roughing it in the wilds, but I'm always up for a little tumble in the dark, if you know what I mean."[/color] Just in case this guy didn't know what she meant, she pointed her thumb towards the big cave there were suppose to be treasure and dangers. Then she points to the big, black, thick obelisk near the huge gaping hole. [color=forestgreen]"That thing over there has some strange language on it, but from what I can read if you're an outsider and want to go back home, you need to kill some demon. Maybe it's a demon in the cave or the great Demon Lord himself, but either way you'll going to want to be prepared when you go inside. There are weapons and armor scattered about the camp if you need it, though you may want to consider upgrading with whatever you find inside the cave, or do it yourself if you're good for it."[/color] Ebony was pointedly ignoring Azarell. [center][COLOR=YELLOWGREEN][H3]XIA[/H3][/COLOR] [img]https://i.imgur.com/veXDcq1.png[/img][/center] Xia quietly ate the curry as she watched all the chaos around her. This place was certainly boisterous. But from what she was hearing it was legitimately dangerous. This made Xia tremble. She's sparred against others before and she knows some self-defense stuff, but she's not a fighter. Do they really expect her to go dungeon delving against the sort of monsters you'd find in fantasy and fairy tales? Because Xia has read some of those stories. A lot of people will die and, depending on how dark, get raped. It made Xia put her bowl down and shiver. [color=yellowgreen]"That's... Wow. That's a lot to take in..."[/color] Xia needed to distract herself. She saw a cute looking cat girl messing with some book by the obelisk. She seemed innocent enough. So Xia went over to her as the cat girl was loading up on weapons. [color=yellowgreen]"H-Hello! Xia. I mean, my name is Xia. You came from those portals too right? I... I'm guessing you've already accepted this weird quest to go into that cave and fight whatever is in there so... Um..."[/color] Xia noticed the book and picked it up. Maybe she could read it so she opened up it's pages and looked through it. [color=yellowgreen]"Is this your book? Did you find anything important inside of it?"[/color]
