Plague-Hunters

'Ruby' the Grand-Eagle spread her wings and began to fly, going as high as she could before beginning her reconnaissance. Sapphire would be relayed a mental image of the camp: A dead horse still connected to a carriage, and blood slowly seeping out from the carriages' door. A musket rifle would be on the ground, it must've fell from the carriages' barely open door. You can't tell, but it appears to still be 'loaded'. The fire has shards of glass nearby. It appears to be burning a dead body, and is ready to go out.

Ruby can just smell the scents of viscera, yet thankfully, nothing Plague-like. This was quite recent, at most just scant hours before. The carriage's other door is flung open, and Ruby can barely see a man coming out, carrying something slung over his shoulder. He has an interesting blunderbuss in his right hand and has a large curved scabbard on the same side of his waist, alongside a few Molotov cocktails on his belts' left.

He appears to be wearing Elven armor as well: its' scaled, durable design and dragon-like helmet gives that fact away. He flips down his helmets' visage with a single motion of his neck, covering his face before Ruby can get a good look. He kicks the coach's door behind him, before stowing away his gun to grab and light a Molotov using a magic, then throws it behind him to burn the cart.

He grabs his gun again and begins jogging away from the scene of the crime, the large object he's carrying seems to be a person as Ruby gets a better look.

Well, you have a heavily armed and armored individual kidnapping someone important looking before your very eyes. What shall be your course of action?

Plague-Hunters

Git gud you posted that OC.

Plague-Hunters

Sure thing nano, I shall allow it.

Edit: Pfft... "ruby'.

Plague-Hunters

Alright, just updated the post, hopefully it's to everyone's liking now.

Plague-Hunters

Well post-timeskip it's now the dead of night, 11 P.M. to 1 or 2 A.M. or so. Beforehand, just a bit before noon.

Plague-Hunters

I realized I'm being too beige, y'know, short? Eklispe, would Alex likely help with helping Sapphire do her thing and/or Imgor? I wanna say yes, but just asking. I'll be editing the time-skippy post to be less ambiguous.

Plague-Hunters

Heh, of course, thank you.

Also, timeskip post: git!

Plague-Hunters

The day continued, events blurring into the next in everyones' minds. Imgor got tired of simply waiting in place and hunted down his own Familiar: A Tunneler Mole, a roughly person sized creature that can rapidly make tunnels, while Sapphire nabbed herself a younger Grand-Eagle, even at its' age it should be able to grab her and lift off.

It was an interesting event to say the least. The eagle was first; it flew overhead, and Amaryllis got the clever idea... "If I can't make the eagle come to me, I'll make the rune go to it!". She found a large rock to write on, lightened it some with her Kris, then used her remaining reserves of magical energy to just throw it at the Eagle with her Airburst spell.

Surprisingly, it worked without a hitch, but the Eagle is mad, to say the least. It obviously hurt quite a lot. Alexander helped her by using his Flare to blind it, making it an easier target.

Imgor enlisted the help of the others to track down something. He got the idea he should look for a Tunneler Mole, larger digging animals, able to make tunnels very efficiently. He read a book sometime about these once, and used the knowledge he gained (Mostly where they usually live) to find one, then rouse it out from its' nest.

The main thing the Quartet used was Alexanders' flare spell to light a branch on fire and throw it down in there. Schulze restrained it while Imgor drew the rune, after Amaryllis mustered up one last Airburst to push it out of its' home.

Schulze, sadly, didn't find anything that interested him, yet the quartet of Aspiring Hunters packed their things, after having a nice dinner and dessert; Joshua left the cake with another note saying 'Dig in'. A bit paternal, isn't he? They then used the cover of night to get out of the Silent Forest, go from Oakstown (The guards Imgor met notified him, "You may be a hunter but, we aren't your slaves."), then to the road to Coalstrike! Sadly, no one could afford a carriage ride which would make the trip go much smoother, They'll have to hoof it themselves. Well... Amaryllis could just fly over there herself with her new-found Eagle familiar, but that'd be most rude to her team-mates.

The Quartet would find themselves with Oakstown to their backs on the horizon, and a fire in the distance on the road. Who else would be on the path, and why camp out on it when there's a town right there?

Plague-Hunters

Well, Schulze got a 19 anyway so he won't be getting a familiar. I'll be posting now, also, may I ask if everyone may post a tiny amount more frequently? You can trim your posts down if you must, I'm not going to single anyone out but we've been going slower then I expected and hoped. If you think you've been particularly slow and you don't think you can get any faster, simply notify me, I may do things for you if you'd be fine with that.

Getting a familiar: 1d100 19 < Proof of the roll for Schulze.

Back Alley Shamanism

This sounds pretty neat. Not to derail it purposefully, but may a "MUSCLE WIZARD" sort of setup be doable?
