[color=00f1ff][b]Location: [/b][/color]The Fog Beast's Lair
[color=00f1ff][b]Interactions [/b][/color]The Fuckwit Brigade and Corporal Yiffenheimer

All through the fog, Isolde remained quiet and on edge. Between the near silent footsteps of Menzai and the rest of the group, and the weight of her spear in her hands, it was a completely different world from Gaurav. When you trained like they had in such a place for months at a time, it was easy to realize just how loud a forest actually was; trees swayed with the wind, birds fluttered through leaves, and insects chittered when the sun started to set. There were always a thousand different things someone could pay attention to when alone in the middle of the woods. This, though? Their footsteps felt practically choked by the fog, and Isolde had to strain to even see trees.

She definitely didn't have to strain when she saw the kiruoth. The [i]dead[/i] kiruoth. Isolde had read a thing or two about them in the village's books. Large insect predators of the same caliber as fucking basilisks. Seeing one up close was a shock, she was honestly expecting this to be a trick that Menzai was pulling to reveal that [i]he[/i] was the Fog Beast who knew all their combat methods. But something in this fog had killed the beast, and Menzai's sudden stiffness wasn't lost on her. 

[color=00f1ff]"Something's not r-"[/color] And then [i]it[/i] showed up.

A monster more massive than the hills, vaguely human shaped, was staring them down from what could have been thousands of feet or merely hundreds, she sure as hell couldn't put it to words. It spoke like it was out of breath, and by now, Isolde was feeling close to breathless as well. For a split second, Isolde felt like blasting it was the best option, but that was before Dante, arguably the best fighter, was dropped to the ground. Isolde could feel it, the air pushing down on them, making them heavier. She leaned into her spear to stand upright, trying not to fall. Darius ran for Dante, and Menzai did the stupidest thing she ever saw someone do, he ran right at it, telling them to run.

Isolde had been training to fend for herself since she was dropped through the ground alongside these people, and now it came down to doing the exact opposite of that, or die. Seeing Menzai put up some kind of fight made her want to drag his scruffy ass away, but this was his village, his entire world. If he knew something about this that they didn't it was showing in the fact that he showed an actual emotion for the first time in months. She hauled on Dante with Darius to get him off the ground, and she ran as fast as she could with them, not even thinking about what was behind them.
