Skill Seeker [hr] [@Crimson Paladin][@VitaVitaAR] [hr] “...are you certain? How would you-” The beast would turn its gaze towards where the deer had been startled. Its eyes narrowed, it taking a few steps away from the group towards where Novak had pointed. Wind trailed between the beasts antlers, air being sucked in from the world around, coalescing between its horns. “No matter. Stand aside.” Enli would take a few steps away from the deer, obviously not wanting to get caught in whatever the Elder Beast was about to do. The Kyrnith would inhale. And then exhale. A blast of wind would cut through the air - stronger than any natural wind could possibly have been. The gust of wind cut the ground, ripping chunks of rock and earth from their resting places. The trees were not spared either, as the picked up chunks of earth would tear into the trees, foliage, carried right through the foliage and brush where Novak had indicated. There was a shout from somewhere beyond. The force of the wind would ultimately impact a tree, the loud sound of wood splintering as it struck followed shortly by the sound of a loud thud, the tree falling from where the wind had cut deep into its trunk. “Damn it! We’ve been found out!” “Doesn’t matter, we’ll just kill them all here instead!” Voices, obviously hostile intent as three hunters who had barely managed to avoid such a powerful blast of wind would get to their feet. One with a bow, the other two with spears. “I will leave these three to you. I must protect my kin.” Before anything else could be said, the massive dear would begin galloping, bounding in the direction of the three hunters, nearly knocking them over a second time as it would disappear deeper into the forest. The three hunters quickly recovered, one already knocking an arrow and launching it in Nobunaga’s general direction while the other two would start making their way towards the Novak. “Remember, Enli’s our target!” Plant hunting [@PKMNB0Y] [hr] [hider=Goddess Note] Item Received: Plant Material (10lbs) General material from a plant. Can be used in all sorts of things and processing into something more useful with the proper knowledge. (OOC Note: Don’t worry about keeping track of all of it. Its mostly a general estimation.) [/hider] It seemed like this time the deer didn’t want to leave her side, curiously watching what she was doing with some manner of curiosity. Now that they had been better acquainted, it seemed as though it was less cautious around her. She had effectively just saved its life, after all. It would spend the rest of the time Misaki was gathering plants almost seeming like a curious kid, wondering what she was doing and constantly seeming to ask questions. Thinking that she was a bit hungry or something, the deer would start helping pulling the bamboo shoots up after awhile, before handing them to her. It would get a bit confused when she didn’t eat it, but would still help her gather a bit more. It would take a while indeed for her to gather a good chunk of material to use, but she would have quite a good bit of it if she kept at it. After that it would just be her attempting to use it for what she wanted - attempting to make paper. Seemed like she might have a helper now, too, if she could find a use for a deer. A little secret [@Click This][@Crusader Lord] [hr] Lazhira would thank Narkissa for the help, glad to have someone else help her with leannah. “...please don’t call me that.” Lazhira would reply sternly. She would fall silent for a few seconds, not really sure how to respond to what Leannah was saying it seemed at first. Lazhira would eventually sigh, scooting over to Lazhira. “Well...if you don’t know what to do...then just do what comes naturally?” She’d say with a curious tone. “And well, we know he’s doing something bad, right? And up to something. So we just have to stop him, right? So we find one of those orbs and you give it to me. It’ll be safe with me, promise.” Lazhira would give Leannah a quick hug before standing up. “You look like you could use some rest, so...uhm, I’ll leave you here, but if you need anything I’ll be just outside or in the house, okay?” She’d say, giving Leannah a pet on one of her ears before heading out of the room, leaving Leannah alone or with Narkissa if she wanted too. A Traveler [@PaulHaynek] [hr] “Eh? Danger, what are you-” Before she had even managed to finish the sentence, the snow under her began to shift. Just like his dream from before, from the snow beneath them, began rising a number of undead. Ice preserved flesh slowly began shambling to its feet. Thankfully, there wasn’t the absurd number that he had already seen - but it was hard to tell exactly how many there were. They popped out of the snow around them, and it was likely that there were more around the village itself. “Wah! They just popped outta the ground! I don’t think zombies are flowery enough for that!” Either way, Nicholas had just saved Elisette from outright just getting her ankles chomped on by some sort of undead looking thing. “There’s a lot of em too! Is it zombie season or something?!” Elisette would draw her sword, standing between Nicholas and the approaching horde, but there was the very real fact that they were going to slowly be surrounded at this rate. “Nngh, alright we need to get to the village. We can probably hide there! Don’t fight unless you have too!” The nearest one of the undead would lunge towards Elisette, the girl easily sidestepping the slow, clumsy creature as she’d slice its abdomen with her sword, eviscerating it as it would stumble to the ground with a pained groan. One that had crawled out of the ground near Nick was lunging at him. The longer they were out here in the field, the more in danger they likely were. Elisette seemed intent on cutting a path straight to them through the village. Of course, he could always choose to fight the horde. [hr] Send Feet Pics [@Cu Chulainn] [hr] “Hm, like I said, I’m no hunter or fighter. If someone’s after Enli’s life at most I could probably just stall them.” He’d cross his arms, frowning. “But those...Oni, are they called? Of yours are strong - seen a single one lift well over his own weight with just a single arm. Skilled with both blades and guards, from the looks of things. How much would it take to hire ‘em for a few days?” Bolcha would ask up front. This could be a very good change for Nomura to prove himself to Mie, if he still wished to do so. Of course, whether or not it was within his authority to promise something was another matter entirely. As he’d ponder the question, the fox from earlier would make itself known. In a rather odd fashion, it’d seem to...wave at him with its tail? Before quietly hopping out a nearby window. It didn’t...want him to follow it, did it? That was a bit odd for a fox, but he might have assumptions by now it wasn’t exactly a normal fox. [hr] The Builder [@Guy0fV4lor] [hr] Donovan would pray. For the protection of Akando. It was a small prayer, but even such a small prayer may have some effect, or boon, but as far as he could tell, there was nothing special happening from it. Perhaps it was not something he could see, for it was not him asking to be protected. He'd just need to have faith his god would here such a small request. “Hm...alright, fine.” Akando would nod. “I’ll whistle if there’s anything wrong or I find something.” He would set off, and as skilled a hunter as he was, it was easy enough for him to move through the underbrush with no problem whatsoever. It seemed as though, at first, there was nothing particularly wrong here. Donovan could see a few deer running in the distance that seemed like they were spooked by something, but for the most part, it seemed as though everything was peaceful. ...but it would not be long before he could hear a commotion of some sort, coming some distance from the south, back towards the beach, close to where he was incidentally close to where the deer had fled earlier. There was a dull thud followed by a loud crack, as though a tree had fallen. A cold breeze blew past him, but he’d see or hear nothing else after that little outburst. It was quiet, and despite having seen deer earlier, they all seemed to have fled by now.
