Location: Human Village [@Psyker Landshark][@VitaVitaAR] [hr] “...I will keep your words in mind, but if she continues to help with healing I may not be able to take that decision lightly.” Giles replied with a frown. “But if you intend to head out, I’ll have a room prepared for the three of you. If you’re looking for your companions, I’d suggest Julene’s. Her home is…well, it stands out. Close to the waterfront. Looks heavily fortified.” Giles wouldn’t stop the two of them from leaving, shaking his head with a bit of exasperation. An eventful day he’d need to mull over. For now, though, he’d see about preparing a room for the three of the guests. Julene’s place wasn’t terribly difficult to find. Near the waterfront, and heavily fortified. The stories that rose above the others were stacked with barrels and what obviously were sniper nests, and from within they could already and easily hear the voices of their companions… Location: Human Village, Riverside [@Pyromania99][@Click This][@Asuras][@Psyker Landshark][@VitaVitaAR] [hr] “Make yourself at home. I already told ye ya could.” Julene shrugged, taking her blade into her abode shortly following behind Akyasha. “Other settlements? Mhm, there’s a few…though we’re definitely the largest.” She’d respond to Giselle as she’d lean her blade against the forge, motioning for the rest of them to come inside and finish talking. “Don’t have a quick and easy way to contact them, though. We often use runners to run messages, lamp signals. light carries really well out here. Only for emergencies though, some beasts are…smart.” The human leaned against the wall, folding her arms across her chest. “The beasts have been rearin’ their ugly faces since before I was born, but the vampire is news to me. If it is the source of these beasts, well…guess there’s nothing I can do. I’m good to fight if I hafta, but I’m not a reckless dumbass that’s gonna jump against something that can kill me with a flick of their pinky.” She’d grunt. “Undead are new though. In the past…mhm, thirty lamp lightnings. Dunno where they’re comin’ from, likely the ocean. Ain’t too far, but that place ain’t no place for people. Undead crawling all over it and there’s something there that sleeps in the water.” Julene shrugged. “Not much else to say. I doubt you wanna hear about the food problems…ah?” Julene turned her head towards the entryway. “...More of you? At this point I’m startin’ to think people are just’ dropping from the heavens.” She’d sigh. “...or crawlin up outta the demon pits. Come in, make yourself at home. Those three already have. Julene.” Location: Forest of Beasts [@crimson Paladin] [hr] “Eheheh, aren’t you a most agreeable vampire. Excellent, excellent.” The witch would produce an admittedly large flask and handing it to him. “Fill it in whatever way you want. Now lets see…” The witch would pull her journal from her pocket once more. Now that Argus could get a good look at it…it was far too ornately decorated and well made for someone like the witch to possess naturally. “Hmhm…what can you tell me about the ocean, little book…? Go on, wake up! I’ve not all of this long night, ehehe!” With a drop of the vampire's blood from her ring onto the pages, the book would slowly start turning its pages by itself, the seemingly blank pages filling with text. Briefly, he could see the words ‘Good tidings, Lady Charlotte’ at the top before she’d manually flip through some more. “‘Thiefs End’ or ‘Graveyard of Refugees.’ I’ve come to the conclusion that in the old days people tried to flee across the seas only to be destroyed by a demon…a god? Or something from beyond the stars. Apparently a vampire was put to rest there, too! Too long ago to say but they say the dead there were cursed with grudges and hate…hm, no no not that. Further on. What is the ship?” The book would flip through another few pages. “The ship…and the force that commands them. I can’t say what beast lurks in the depths, but that ship is…mhm, it’s been floating out there ever since the death of the world. I believe some creatures have taken up residence in it. They worship whatever that thing below the waters are.” She’d conclude, swiping the now filled flask of blood before he could do anything else. “Can’t say much more than that. Eheheeh, I hope you’re not too disappointed?” The witch, apparently named Charlotte, turned to Argus with a smile. “That said…I’ve a particular interest in that ship as well. Specifically something those cultists have. Its the entire reason I’m out here, you see. Perhaps, if you intend to go at some point, Mr. Vampire…remember little old me out here. I could and would be more than happy to assist. In the meantime…I could perhaps try gathering more information about it if I get something in return for such work, too.”
