Skill Seeker [hr] [@Crimson Paladin][@VitaVitaAR] [hr] “Help?” The man would wheeze out. “You’re...not helping...ghk. Stupid outsiders-” That was all he would be able to get out by the time Nobunaga would walk over, ending the little life he had remaining. His body would fall backwards onto the ground, lifeless. That left the man that would quickly be bleeding out as the last one alive, and last one to answer any questions Nobunaga had. Still, there was a look of defiance in the downed hunters eyes, even as she made her threats and responded. “...The Illuminator. There’s a cave near the old sealing grounds. It leads to our hideout.” He’d inhale, giving a pained wheeze as blood would spill from his wounds. “We...protect the seal. The Illuminator has...since the moonless. Someone here is causing it to weaken-ha...” Enli would pull the arrow from his robes, frowning slightly at Nobunaga’s actions, but otherwise not saying anything if he felt strongly about them. "Stupid outsiders...will ruin everything..." “...hm. Do you think we can trust what he said?” He would quietly ask. “I think it would be best if I return you do. I’ll only get in the way if you go deal with the rest of them.” [@PKMNB0Y] [hr] “Oh...I see. Sure, I won’t say anything.” The girl would say with a nod. “Not really sure I follow, but it seems interesting. I’m sure Mie will find a use for it.” She’d sit next to Misaki, quietly for a bit and letting the fox girl work by herself. Misaki, in the interim of working might have noticed something. A few of the hunters were perhaps a bit too curious about the two of them and the deer not far from Misaki. A few of them would start talking at the end of the path at Lazhira’s house towards the village, and though they didn’t seem initially hostile something was clearly a little off from the way they were wearing their armor and hefted both spears, bows, and an axe. “Uhm. Hey, if you don’t mind me asking...what do you think of this village? I kind of find it a bit boring myself...well, Enli’s nice and so are the hunters usually as long as I don't start bothering them or getting in their business, but..its pretty boring just being here all the time I think.” A little secret [@Crusader Lord] [hr] As the fatigue and everything would slowly catch up with her, the cat girl would slowly drift off to sleep. Perhaps she was hoping for comforting words from her goddess, but the sun of the desert was both harsh and cruel at times. Comfort was not something the desert sun would bring. Not easily, at least. Considering her current rather complicated relationship with the sun, maybe she should have kept quiet. [i][color=fff79a]“Why are you asking for my help?”[/color] [/i]Is probably what the goddess would have said here, really. She definitely didn’t seem like the type to be overly helpful. [i][color=fff79a]“I told you to hunt a beast before asking my favor. Still, your audacity still amuses me. I don’t know what is happening where you are, nor do I care...but you entangle yourself with the God of Knowledge. There is likely information you do not have, for he keeps information close to his chest. Seek what you are missing. I can not know what it is, but there is likely some discrepancy in what you have been told. Do not be soft, either. Sometimes force must be used to understand a situation.”[/color][/i] At least, this was a brief conversation Leannah would have in her head. Perhaps she’d sleep as long as she’d need too, now. This information wasn't really anything new to her though, was it? If this was the goddess she was effectively just telling Leannah to be less soft. But if she was missing something...then what was she missing, and where could she learn it from? [@Click This] Finding the remaining tools she’d need was relatively easy. Making the frame though, too was easy if she’d know what she was doing. Just a bit time consuming. First cutting the wood into the correct shape. Making sure it was smooth and as put together as possible, sturdy enough for the use she intended. It would be just about when she was finished with her work that she’d be interrupted again, though by an entirely different person this time - an older man, with greying hair wearing an absolutely ostentatiously colorful outfit. “Oi, lass!” He’d call out, waving a handful of flowers at her. “I got somethin’ i need to ask ye about.” A cane was in his left hand and a flute was strapped to his belt. A Traveler [@PaulHaynek] [hr] “Eh? I don’t need a rest...” Elisette would respond with a small pout. “But alright, sure. If you wanna come with I’m not gonna say no to a cute guy.” “It had already started by the time I arrived.” Viorel would respond with a frown. “It was just the zombies then, and there were less of them. It was easy enough to either simply outrun or cut down...but they slowly started increasing in number.” He sighed. “At night something else now comes...though we don’t know what it is, just that its some spirit that goes to house to house and kills anyone that it finds.” He’d glance over to Cynthia. “The only ones here that can currently wield weapons are yourself...and Cynthia. There might be some things left in the church, but aside from that you’d have to try finding something out there.” His mouth would curl into a small smile. “Worry not about her. She can probably see more than you or I ever could.” “What about this witch you mentioned?” Elisette would question. “She lived in Liven once, but...I don’t know much more than that. You’d have better luck asking one of the residents. Take as long as you need, but either leave tomorrow or before nightfall. Once I put the barrier up, I will not be taking it down until tomorrow morning again.” The maid in question had currently started to sweep the floor near the back wall. Their current questions answered, Elisette would quietly move off to the side, frowning a bit as she’d quietly speak to Nicholas. “...I don’t trust these two.” She’d say. “Move into town shortly before things get bad? And what’s with the zombies keeping people in? That seems pretty weird to me. I'll ask around...you uh, stay cute and don't get into trouble, kay? I'll be here so just shout if something jumps ya." The Roma Mob [@ERode] [hr] “Hard to ignore a compliment such as that.” Sorcha responded with a wry smile. “Unless you have interest in the weapons such as I do, I doubt it. I’m sure Leuca would be happy to see me and Augusta is likely back by now.” She’d sheathe her blade, walking past Isidore. “I’ll decide where we’ll be eating tomorrow evening after I finish dealing with the soldiers here.” Sorcha would head back to the hall where their quarters had been, Isidore free to follow if he desired. [@Pyromania99][@ERode] [hr] “Oh...I don’t know if this is a good idea...ah...” Leuca would frown, seemingly at a loss for words. A quick check with her eye said she was fairly uncomfortable, and was extremely hesitant to accept this for some reason. Perhaps there was something Augusta could do to make her more comfortable...perhaps the reason she was hesitant stemmed from her unease about Octavia. “I-I’ll help where I can I suppose. Uhm. I’m not sure what I can help with...unless its about the Léargas…? I could help with that...everyone of Royal blood has to go through it. I’m not sure someone who isn’t royalty can.” Their conversation would be cut somewhat short by Sorcha opening the door to Leuca’s room, not seeming very surprised to see Augusta there, either. “Leuca!” “Sorcha! Isidore!” The small Sirithen would hop up from the bed, giving Sorcha a quick hug in greeting. “Feeling better?” “Mhm. Uhm. Sorcha? Augusta...w-well...” Perhaps it’d be good for Augusta to explain herself. [hr] Send Feet Pics [@Cu Chulainn] [hr] “That was fast...” Bolcha would say with a bit of surprise as Haruno would walk in. “I was wonderin’ if I could hire you all for some guard work...” “If the price is right, yes. Thank you for informing us Sir Nomura. I’ll take the negotiations from here.” Haruno would say, nodding to Malphas as she’d take over any haggling over their services. Likely was the expected course. He could interject likely wherever though, but now that he was done Mie mentioned something about wanting him to do something else, didn’t he? [hr] The Builder [@Guy0fV4lor] [hr] Thankfully for Donovan, the hunters had already started fleeing, Soyala among them. Akando would grip his spear tightly, glad that he wouldn’t have to kill his fellow man for the moment as they’d retreat. He would turn to face the angry beast, breathing in and ready to flee or help Donovna. Thankfully, the Kyrnith for the moment would hold its wrath. While perhaps, it wasn’t enough to cool the beasts anger...it was enough to get his attention. “Their hideout...you know of it?” Its voice would boom as it would ask. “You continue to show both your arrogance and misplaced bravery in front of me, human. Your desire to save lives is admirable...very well. Lead - but if I deem you a liar I will have my fury satisfied some other way if I must.” It would be a simple matter to lead the deer back to the hideout, now...but how exactly did Donovan wish to approach this situation. Surely the Kyrnith could easily get rid of the rest of the hunters. If he decided to return, he would find both the grove where the seal was and the entrance to the old temple mostly unguarded - the hunters were slowly returning from their hunts it would seem, not suspecting that the Kyrnith would be coming for them.
