Rude Welcoming

As Damien and Hephaestus casually had their dinner and Egwene was focused on her fire pit, they did not foresee the upcoming attack. Without a signal of any kind, boulders began to rain down from the sky. It was possible Shadow and Egwene had noticed something was peculiar as large shadows began to be casted onto the field. Large boulders of heavy mass impacted the field and the farmer's house!

Some of the boulders in the field exploded once contact was made on the surface; their broken parts scattered in all directions. Egwegen and Shadow possibly were hit by the scatter shot of some of the boulders. The field's area was trashed with craters and chunks of rocks. The sound of boulders hitting dirt was heavy and alarming.

One massive boulder managed to crash through the living room of the farmer's house. It left a huge gaping hole in the roof; the ceiling began to crumble while sending dust to its floor. Most of the furniture was destroyed and had burst into tiny splinters and pieces of wood. The dinner party might have been grazed by the after effect.

"Shit! They're here! I apologize; I should have checked the time!" The farmer immediately climbed up from his seat. Pieces of wood had struck him, but he managed to still stand. "I don't trust this house to be great cover for a meteor shower," Ezekiel commented. Snatching his shotgun, he ushered everyone to leave. "Let's hurry and get out of here! Safest place is out in the fields! At least we'll have the chance of evasion!"

The farmer glanced at one of the kitchen windows. After giving out a sudden cry, he charged straight forward. His shoulder smashed the glass as he jumped outside. Ezekiel landed on the dirt with a thud and a few bruises. "C'mon, guys. Your turn..." he whined.

The scarecrow had been struck by an independent rock that had broke out from its larger mass. His left arm was beginning to fall apart save for a few threads keeping it together. Straw had poured out onto the floor as he hissed aggressively. "How did they- was it Castle?" He asked himself. "Show yourself, Castle!"

The scarecrow looked around the destroyed field for answers. He could not find the man responsible for the attack. "This doesn't make sense. How was he able to pull this shit off?" Shadow then became distracted by the boulder striking down the house. "No! Ezekiel! Your guys can handle themselves, right?" His hoarse voice was directed towards Egwene.

"Damn, and I actually liked that house. It was really something," a cocky voice had spoken out loud. Shadow spun around to the source of the voice. The straw monster was drew his breath sharply and gripped his hanging arm tightly. "The time has come. Like I said, everything and everyone will be gone."

As the sun was beginning to be hidden away by the hills, the bandits had made their stand. They had half of the red sun as their background. The bandits stood in unison with condescending expression. Their eyes were clearly void of sympathy and instead were filled by chaotic rage. By simple counting, there were 12 outlaws readied to remodel the land in their ugly fashion.

The man in the middle of the line was no doubt the leader. He placed his hips at his side and googled at the fox girl. "Ooh, what's this?" The leader slapped his knee in amusement. "Don't tell me the farmer actually hired you! That is killer! Scary, I guess you couldn't have done this yourself, huh?" The leader laughed which caused his entire line to chime in.

"Castle..." the scarecrow grunted.

"Listen, girly. You can either run like hell, join us, or die. I don't care," Castle loudly shouted. He threw his arm out from his body and gestured a thumbs down. "Go nuts, boys!" Nine of the bandits on the hills simultaneously cried out; they lifted their swords and ran down the hill. They were prepared to begin striking down the fox girl and the scarecrow.

Well that sounds interesting. Good thing I already got plans for Damien's next abilities. Do I need to post them somewhere or anything?

@Scarifar

Probably in your last post and character information.

I Died & Reincarnated Into- What Is Up With This World!?

@Leaves I'm not really sure what to do with that skill point. There's no info in the first ooc post about it or anything.

@Scarifar

You basically get a new skill for right now. So your character would have a gift and one "spell." I realize where I've messed up; I've been naming it a skill when it's a spell. My bad.

I'll probably be adding more to the front page as I have added more information regarding other things.

I Died & Reincarnated Into- What Is Up With This World!?

@NarayanK@Scarifar@KabenSaal

I'll be posting the start of battle with the bandits later today, yay!

Scarifar, Damien acquired a skill point toward a new skill for reading the journal. Not sure if you have anything in mind on what you want.

Putting That Work In

The interior inside Grandma Ginny's house was very tight squeezed. It was obvious how many rooms resided in the house. By first inspection, the room walking in was the living room. It had a worn couch; its cushions were in bad shape as fluff was beginning to pour out. The rug looked stained and probably could tell the history of the room from ten years ago. The bookcase did not look sturdy and was covered in dust.

A door led to an opened bedroom. On the bed was a mountain of clothes and an ironing board set up to the side. Not much else could be seen from the front door.

Adjacent to the living room was the kitchen area. The area had an opened wall to enter and the living room was in the same shape. The tiles on the floor were coming off and the place smelled like burned cooking. Inside was a black cauldron sitting warmly on the stove. It bubbled rapidly.

Grandma Ginny turned off the heat and began coughing roughly. "Who? What?" She turned around and smiled creepily at Orion. Her smile turned immediately to a unimpressed expression. "Huh, I was expecting more of a muscle-bound type of guy. I guess this is what I get from posting on the board. I can't be too picky." She cackled.

Grandma Ginny looked frail and old. Her wrinkles on arms and face were clear as day. She had a long blouse on along with a jacket overneath. She had fuzzy slippers on her feet and her hair stretched down to her shoulders. She had some color in her atleast.

"Alright, so my soup tastes like shit," she said bluntly. She grabbed a ladel on her table and proceeded to dunk it inside the cauldron. "Don't believe me? Try it for yourself." She handed the ladel over to Orion. Grandma Ginny then fished her hand out of her pocket to take out a folded piece of paper. The paper seemed to have a peculiar glow to it that only Orion could see. "Here's a few items I need to get. You might want to do it before sundown," she warned.

---

The man with the ax stopped hitting the trees. "I'm sorry; I can't." He then began striking down the bark again. "You didn't say please..." He commented. The man with the ax began laughing with every swing. He had to stop chopping wood to catch his breath. "Okay, I'm just kidding. But yeah, you should work on your mannerisms though."

The man with the ax elbowed Regina in the shoulder in a joking manner. "There's a lot of you today, huh? Well, you just want to keep heading that way," he pointed north. "At the center of this forest is a village. Head there and you'll be good." He gripped both hands on his ax and prepared to swing at the tree again.

"I would lead you there myself, but I really have to make my quota." The man with the ax was going to swing, but stopped mid-way. "Oh, and try getting there before dark, alright?" He chucked his ax immediately after and continued his work.

The slower goblin was not able to catch the dog. It had completely slipped past him and was no match in speed. The leader goblin was too preoccupied with trying to get the others that he did not see the dog coming at him. He expected the dog was just an ordinary mutt and had no ulterior motives.

The leader goblin fell straight through the hole from the push landing among the other trapped goblins. The slower goblin was enraged that his party was fooled by this dog. Aiming carefully, he chucked his dagger at the Hiraku. Pulling out another right after, he darted towards the dog and enabled a war cry. "You stupid dog!"

I Died & Reincarnated Into- What Is Up With This World!?

Dragon Rayo

Rayo had not been in his new body for long and already he made a new "friend." He wasn't sure if he was good at reading at people back then, but he was able to read the beast-man's intentions. The luchador acknowledged the beast wanted a fight due to his mannerisms. The tightened fists and the severity of his gaze made it all clear that the beast was not a reasonable person, or had at least no thoughts toward consequences.

Rayo patted himself on his chest. This was a reminder to himself that he wasn't a weakling anymore. He accomplished his dream of becoming a luchador and luchadors don't back down. Cracking his knuckles, he prepared himself for the worst. The staff the beast had in his possession made him slightly worried. A staff isn't necessarily an item an individual would take to a beach.

"Let's not do anything irrational. I will-" Rayo stopped his banter when the blonde woman grabbed his arm. She was rushing the both of them toward the wooden path. Scratching his mask, Dragon Rayo could not make sense of what was going on. Could this be an effect of the drugs? The woman did seem worried about something.

"Are you sick? I figure with these type of parties there should be a rehabilitation tent around here somewhere. Maybe there is one-" Rayo stopped talking. His attention was caught by a loud slam. The electronic dance music that normally invaded his eardrums had abruptly halted and was replaced by screams. Turning his head, he noticed a blonde woman had crashed into the DJ's table. This had caused a stampeded of people beginning to rush toward the wooden path. Rayo's ears twitched when he heard the beast man speak.

"I'm going to go help. You stay safe,Senorita." Rayo told the woman. "Be careful with the..." The luchador then sighed. "Listen, feo. You're brave enough than me to throw the first punch, but know that I will be throwing the last one. Until another time."

The luchador then began to sprint towards the stage.

Beach:

@Seravee@Zamokra41

It Comes From the Ocean

Once Dragon had climbed up the stage, he had noticed he was too late. The woman was dead; a huge gash was on her head and her body was in worse shape. The turntable threw sparks and skipped. The DJ was mumbling nonsense to himself that was irrelevant to the situation. As Dragon Rayo stood, he had a good view of the crowd and the beach.

---

Emerging from the beach was a horde of decayed monsters They almost resembled humans, but had too many deformities to make a connection. Their skeleton interior was showing and they were covered in algae; they immediately attacked any living being in their line of sights. They appeared to have no control and acted solely on primitive rage. Clawing and biting, they were causing severe damage to the unprepared party-goers. Dwarves, elfs, humans, and beast-folk were having their flesh bit off and being thrown around like rag dolls. Crimson liquid was beginning to stain the sand. Just as the music stopped, it'd be expected there would be silence. The dance music was heavenly compared to the ghoulish screams of the water monsters and the agonized yells of the civilians. One particular being had arisen from the ocean, but was different from the decayed monsters.

The being was more tamed and well-mannered. Resembling more like a fish than a person, he held a jagged staff in his right arm. His skin was bright with neon colors. There was a sense of trouble coming off of him. The fish appeared to be observing the carnage and the horde of decayed monsters were avoiding his presense.

Jemma and Tarum would have trouble reaching the wooden path due to the stampede of party-goers and the water creature invasion.

Samuel's Letters, Now It's A Chicken Salad

The book kept its glow as Damien turned the cover to view its content. Once the book was fully opened, the glow had turn to an immediate flash and had vanished. Inside the book was a collection of letters between Ezekiel and a possible companion. Throughout the letters is a discovery of new location regarding great findings and probable danger.

First Letter

Dear Ezekiel,

I apologize for what had happened earlier. I had thought we were on the road to success. I know you have your family to think about; however, I have nothing to risk. This is why I'm out doing this stupid shit. I know your predicament and you know of mine; we need this! I won't stop and I hope you won't stop either. I know those bandits are not going to leave you alone...it is only a matter of time.

I'll keep looking. Just have faith in me. I don't have anyone else-well, I don't know anyone else who would tag along. I need you to stay committed to this.
-Samuel

Second Letter

Ezekiel,

I think I may have found an answer to our problems! I am being completely serious this time! I have not been more certain in all my life! We have finally found a solution to our problems! Please respond to this letter! I know I messed up last time, but this is different!

You might be hesitant, but listen! There is a cave- a couple miles over the hills! It's not a far journey and I am well-informed about this cave! I've heard rumors about this cave inside Munitam and they all check out. I was told the cave could not be seen by human eyes- the entrance is blocked by an illusion! I spent a whole fucking day looking for this shit and I found it! The cave's entrance is disguised as a cliff's wall!

The rumors about the illusion and the location are true! I'm telling you this cave is genuine! There is a catch...There is talk about treasure and great findings in this cavern, but also danger. I think this is a real deal, Ezekiel. I can't do it alone. If we do this, I can say goodbye to poverty and you can say goodbye to the bandits. Please respond to this letter. I'm tired of the silent treatment.
-Samuel

Third Letter

Ezekiel,

I guess I deserve this much. I know you are still mad about last time. I don't blame you. The cave I mentioned earlier, if you read my last letter, I'm going to claim that treasure this week. I have prepared myself with the appropriate supplies and gathered any information I could gather from Munitam.

I am not fully confident in my abilities, but I believe I can do this. I'll make it back and show you that dreams come true. Even though you're not coming with me, I'll still give you a share. I can't have you suffering from those bastard bandits. Maybe I'll find something of great power? You've helped me of too much to deny you of any treasure.

I just have to state one thing. If I don't happen to make it back, just keep loving your family. I don't have anyone close to me, but you. You're the closest thing I had to a brother. Not sure why I'm getting sentimental- I guess since this is the first time I've went by myself? Eh, you've taught me not to get into trouble. Anyways, love ya, Zeke. I always wanted to go spelunking.
-Samuel

Damien has acquired a new spell point and information regarding a new quest! Samuel's Letters has been added in “Miscellaneous Information.”

The farmer looked up and he couldn't find the right words to describe what his eyes were seeing. “How does a metallic man make a metal chair so quickly,” Ezekiel thought to himself. There was a hint of envy radiating from the farmer. Most of his furniture had taken some time to complete and was beginning to worn down; the metal man had made a chair in a matter of seconds.

While chopping vegetables the farmer place his knife down and looked at the metal mage. “That gift you have is real something. Where were you when I was making furniture?” The farmer laughed at his own joke. Ezekiel collected all the cut vegetables and poured them into a bowl. The bowl was a mixture of cut carrots, sliced tomatoes, diced lettuce, and other edible elements.

“Lucky for me, the chicken has already been cut before,” he commented. Opening the fridge once more, he pulled out a bag of thin strips of chicken and added them to the salad. “And now it's a chicken salad,” he slammed the bowl on the center of the table. From the cupboards, he placed smaller bowls, tongs, and utensils on the table. “Dig in, guys. Dine like it's your last meal!”

Center Forest

The goblins were immediately spooked by the sudden roars. “What is that?” One of the goblins spoke up; its voice was high-pitched and could be heard by the talking dog. A certain goblin told his party to stay put; the sound did not seem threatening at all.

As they waited, the roars were gaining volume. They disobeyed their friend's advice and proceeded to flee. “It's coming closer,” one of them yelled. Three goblins bolted from their position and toward the direction of the trap that was set. One goblin was slower than the others and had trouble running along the two others. In a matter of seconds, two of the goblins and collapsed into the dug up hole. After a loud thud, they began moaning in pain.

The goblin from before walked up to the hole with curiosity. “What the hell? You idiots! This is a set-up!” The slowpoke goblin scratched his noggin and was stricken with confusion. “This hole was made to trap us! Who could have done this? The roars don't even seem real!”

The slowpoke goblin pointed a firm finger at Hiraku. “What about that dog? Dogs dig hole.” The goblin that resembled mostly as the leader had taken a quick glance at the dog. His eyes stayed glued to the mutt; he was beginning to question the reason of the dog's presence.

“I don't know. Just go skin it. I'll try to see if I can help the others,” the leader goblin stated. He laid down on the floor and tried reaching a hand to the two others. The slower goblin pulled out a short dagger and began approaching the dog slowly.

“Here, little doggie. Here.”

Upon entering the west district of Center Forest, Aidan could see a row of houses lined up. None of them were uniquely made as they all seemed to have been built to be uniformed. There were minor differences between the houses; one house had potted plants out in front and another had a garden. It was about the most someone could get from being creative with their homes.

The homes themselves were small which says a lot for Center Forest.

Aidan tried finding the quest giver and could see a middle-aged woman standing outside her house. She had a mean look about her. The woman was aggressively smoking a cigarette.

Regina woke up next to a young man chopping wood in the forest.

Quiet Cooked Dinner, Battle Approaching

Ezekiel had led the both willingly companions into his noble home. He was unsure of their capabilities, but he acknowledged their uniqueness. It was a strange sight to seem a man of metal yet another man turn into a demonic being. There would have been a barrage of questions he would have led onto the two, but he had other matters.

The farmer was struck back by the question by the metallic man. He found it odd the individual had no clue of his whereabouts. "Do you really have no idea?" Ezekiel stroked his mutton chops. "You're on the outskirts Munitam ," he answered. "Not much you'll find here, but maybe some hunting game and..." The farmer paused and opened the screen door of his house. "Bandits."

The interior of the home was in great condition. It looked fairly modern and seemed reasonable for family to settle down in. Most of the furniture and staircases were made of wood. The front door opened to the view of living room. The living room was an ordinary lounge area with two love seats and a lengthy sofa. Four bookcases stood tall on the walls; each one was well-equipped with literature of this world. One particular book's spine was glowing brightly-emanating a light that only the two players could see.

Adjacent to the living room was the kitchen. The cooking area had a worn stove and tile floors. There had been a lot of elbow grease put into this room from the condition of it. It was obvious to see there was always effort put into the cooking. The dining table and cooking prep tables had stains and a few crumbs present.

The living room and kitchen had a hallway leading to a staircase and several other rooms. There was a locked panel on the floor that must have led to the basement.

The farmer quickly opened up the fridge and began pulling out some vegetables. Opening up the cupboards, he began pulling out some cutting material. "I'll have to work fast. Everyone okay with a chicken salad?"

The scarecrow stared at the pit and the fox girl. His gaze never left her.

The party was too focused on the new settlement and the odd jobs that they did not see the disappearance of Sonia.

Hikaru followed the directions given on the wall; the paper request was precise with its location as Hikaru did find his objective. The goblins that were mentioned in the wanted sign were present. They were huddled around a tree and appeared to be scheming mischievous activities. There were four of them and they were not alarmed by the strag dog roaming around.

---

Orion was introduced by a row of small houses. The village was fairly small and so were the houses. They were exactly the same in style and size with slight differences. The particular house Orion was looking for was not difficult to spot. He figured he would have to do some cooking of some type considering the ingredients wish. He noticed one house with a broken window and black smoke coming out. The smoke was followed by yelling of obscenities.
