Harry looked over towards the old man and much younger woman that accompanied him. He had had guns pointed at him before, but never in a situation like this. He turned away from the smoke further into the forest to face the unlikely duo. What were they anyways? Father and daughter seemed the most likely answer. Why were they out here? Probably the same reasons as everyone else. No sufficient cause for suspicion.

"I'd appreciate it if you'd aim your weapon away from me." His cop instincts were ablaze to use a more forceful approach to the situation, but they were all civilians now, and he didn't quite have the force of the law behind him anymore. Brandishing a weapon at an officer wasn't quite so heinous a deed when the officer in question had dropped the job some time ago. Dangerous position he was in aside, he was confronted with a question from the senior citizen, but seeing how he had no authority over Harry nor any incentive to comply, the detective had no reason to answer him. Aside from the gun. But the old man didn't seem inclined to use it, and Harry had a gun as well.

Nor

Location: Tower
Interacting with:Door

"Uh. Er. Yer welcome." Nor looked at Keystone like he was nuts as he thanked him for stabbing the now (hopefully) deceased armor. He didn't do anything particularly noteworthy. Nobody was in mortal danger; if worst came to worst, the bear would have just swung its big paw again and killed the damned thing anyways. The tall folk were so weird.

There was a lot more standing around discussing what to do next and not enough doing. Clearly nobody was making any move to get that door open, so he marched ahead to the door.

"If this door be trapped, best if I be the one tae take it." Nor was rather confident in his stamina, and encased in armor as he was, he was the one best equipped to take a hit if there was such a thing rigged to the door. The dwarf planted his stout foot onto the door and shoved his weight into a solid push kick. It didn't quite give, but the door caved inward with a loud cracking noise. By his estimation, another big impact and it would probably be broken enough to stop being an obstacle.

I'm still alive. Was waiting for redbaron to post, but that clearly isn't happening anytime soon. I'll try to get a post up within the next few days.

Early on Mali stopped really listening to anything Wayne was saying. It would be one thing if he were going somewhere with all these stories, but it rapidly became apparent that there was no end goal, just hopping around from one topic to the next. It was like he was trying to avoid any form of silence from existing in his life. Maybe this was some sign of deeper psychological issues, she mused as she idly reacted to Wayne as if she was paying attention to him.

Maybe he has a lot of existentialist fears, and they start to creep into the corners of his mind when he's not occupied with something else. Or perhaps it's not even that well articulated; cosmic dread could just spill from the bottom of his gut without enough ambient noise to drown it out. Or he could just really like the sound of his own voice. Mali stopped her musing to take in the magic he had managed to work in such a short amount of time.

"I'd ask you how you got so good with your hands, but an explanation would just ruin some of the magic. We're doing the actual styling last? Then how about we move on to the massage next, Zoie?" Mali looked away from the mirror back towards her "partner" for an affirmation or rejection to the idea. If she had known that the styling of her hair would be the last thing done at the spa, she probably would have put that at the end rather than the first item on the list. Hindsight is 20/20.

Harry continued his note taking with a bored vigor. After all, that was the only thing for him to do other than let his mind drift onto completely unrelated topics; the last thing he'd want to do when it came to gathering evidence for his current case.

• More teenage flirting (be sure to avoid accidentally sitting in on a pre-marital fling)
• Admittance to heavy cannabis use
• Uninspired Scooby-Doo references (isn't that too old for them to be using? Then again there were those awful movies a few years ago)
• Using a dog to try tracking down Riley? (probably not the right kind of dog for that)
• What's that smell?

Wait. What was that smell? It was as if the entire forest had passed gas without a sound. Harry put away his pen and phone and looked up, deeper into the forest. Smoke. Smoke meant fire. A wildfire? Perhaps. But a wildfire didn't smell of sulfur. The part of his mind in charge of keeping him intact said to not go towards the smoke, but his intuition told him something important was in that direction. The kids weren't really that high on his priority list. He could afford to leave them behind. Notebook still in hand, and set off in the direction of the sulfurous smell.

Mali just relaxed as best as she could (not the easiest task for her) and let Wayne work. He knew way more about this than she ever would, so she wouldn't try being helpful or anything cute like that. With these types of things, trying to help only made things take longer or created mistakes where there wouldn't normally be any. The deep subconscious dredged up a long forgotten memory of her mother cutting off more hair than expected due a sudden fidget, resulting in her having to have the rest sheared so everything would be evened out. For weeks after that all the kids in her class said she looked like a boy. In hindsight, maybe that moment had a bigger impact on the course of her life than it appeared at the time.

When it was time to move stations again, Mali grabbed as much hair below the neckline as she could fit in her fist and loosely held it off when she moved to the throne as Wayne put it. She didn't want any of the leftover water to soak into the robe and be a slight irritant for the next 10 minutes. Yes, it was something incredibly minor, but incredibly minor things tended to poke the edges of your mind the hardest. Like when you put on a sock rotated slightly too far to the right so that the heel was place slightly off-center and your toes were squished together as a very slight angle. Trying to go on with the rest of your day with your sock on like that would be madness, so you took off that sock and put it back on again. Same principle.

Nor

Location: Tower
Interacting with:A4

So this time there were only two of the tin can bastards to deal with, unless there were more hiding out of sight. Not an event that'd be all that likely considering their lack of any sort of grace or dexterity, but something like that couldn't be entirely ruled out. The boy actually did something useful for once and fried one of the undead on the spot. At first Nor was content with sitting back and letting the wild animal and the bear take care of the second undead, but then he noticed that the big guy was stuck in one place. Maybe he accidentally activated some hidden paralyzation trap. Mages were tricky like that.

Being the closest to the bag of bones, the task of putting the dead thing to rest fell to him. Twirling his knife into a reverse grip he took a large step forward and plunged the blade down into one of the newly widened gaps of the armor. The lack of any real resistance as the blade slid in to the base was a sign that he picked a good spot, free of any pesky bones to stop the weapon prematurely. And like that, the undead collapsed like an unstable tunnel.

Nor planted his foot on the collapsed body, and with a single, full body heave freed his knife from the cadaver, ready to stab once again. If he needed to of course.

Cyne

Location: Tower
Interacting with:A2

The real tricky part about traversing the tower was figuring out how to climb the stairs as a bear. The paws were too big to fit on the steps properly and claws got in the way; however, black bears were natural climbers and with some brain racking, she made her way to the top without taking too much time to do so. Oh yeah, and there were also more animated armors waiting for them at the top: right next to her in fact was one.

Cyne completely expected there to be something much scarier further in. The last battle went similarly as this one, starting out with simple foes, and then suddenly exploding skeletons everywhere and then that weird blood mist thing. This was likely the necromancer's house so she didn't expect that again, but certainly something far more deadly yet to be seen.

The bear galloped forward and swung at the armor with its large paw, forcing it to take a few steps back, bearly able to keep itself upright. That it even managed that much was pretty impressive. Many people wouldn't be able to remain moving after taking a direct blow from a bear. That said, she fully expected it to be finished off by the next person to make a move, probably Keystone.
