Unlike most of the rank and file and even Shor and his men, these guards seem very professional. Using your real world knowledge, Shor and his men are FBI, these guards are more like CIA. They seem to know exactly what they found and have a vested interest in making sure no one else gets involved. Whether that's a good or a bad thing, you can't tell, but you definitely know they know what they're doing.

Donny took his rope, cutting off a length of it to tie the splint to his leg and brace it. He stood up and winced. It hurt, but hopefully it won’t break. ”Yeah. I can move. As for an underground, I know this building is connected to a parking lot. Might be some supplies to scavenge there and if nothing else, pretty sure it’s a stones throw away from a metro. As for the mutant... Yeah let’s just get out of here.”

Without being chased by the mutant, Cat and Donny would be able to move at a brisk but calm pace. Though you both were wise enough to be aware of ambush or other threats. Donny lagged slightly behind you despite trying to keep pace due to his bruised leg. Soon however you’d come across a gristly sight: corpses. They look relatively new, considering that they aren’t rotten bones not covered in snow. It looked like it was three people who were unfortunate enough to get too close to the Pseudogiant.

”Poor bastards.” Donny picked up one of their guns. The weapon itself was as good as broken but Donny still took out the magazine, seeing a few bullets left. He cleared the chamber and slung the wrecked weapon over his shoulder as he checked the other bodies for anything valuable. While he did so you would notice something partially buried in the snow. It’s glint caught your eye: a severed arm with a silver watch. Your keen senses could even hear faint ticking from it. A watch that works was rare in this world.

It's a cool template. Very thematic, and it pops too so you can distinguish it from the chatting.

@Mae Here's what I'll do.

- Type Of Contact: Faction
- Who Exactly: Feast of Birds

- Description/Background -
Following Cthylla's advice, Darc intends to pursue an alliance with the Feast of Birds. He knows that they're going to be able to provide him the feast he needs to grow, and in turn he believes he can be of use to the Feast of Birds. He'll show off some of the trophies he's obtained from the adventures he's slain and let them know he's aware that the Holy Order is looking for them. He proposes that he and his fellow Dungeon Lords can prey on villagers away from the forest and divide the Holy Order's attention from them.

- What For: In exchange, Darc wishes to devour what the Feast has to offer. He needs to eat more in order to grow stronger and more advanced. Additionally allying with the Feast of Birds will presumably mean they themselves will be able to open new doors for the dungeon lords to greater allies.

Yo. What do you think of playing?

Frozen Darkness

Donny needed a few steps to build moment. A few steps too many. As he jumped, the beast caught up to him and clipped his leg. His jump was thrown off but he did catch your hand, his massive weight nearly pulling you off your feet. Fortunately Donny caught himself on the ledge and was able to pull himself up. As for the mutant, its momentum was too great for it to slow down and crashed into the wall out of sight, the sound of cement and glass shattering bring the only indicator of its fate.

Donny crawled away from the ledge and tried to stand up. However then he stumbled; his foot had barely grazed the pseudogiant but that alone was enough to bruise him. ”Goddamn. Fuck. Ow.” He said with heavy breaths as he looked around for something solid. There was the rotted remains of a wooden bench which he broke down until he got a straight stick and turned to you. ”Can I have my rope back?”

It wouldn’t be hard for Cat to catch up to Donny thanks to her agility, as well as the fact Donny was trying to enter doors that were locked or blocked off. If he wasn’t in immediate peril he might have time to break through but alas, every second would count. The pseudogiant was indeed sluggish to climb the rules, but what it lacked in finesse it more than made up in sheer brutality. Cat and Donny would hear it leap from the bottom floor to their floor, tearing apart the walls and floor of the hospital to reach them. “Oh fuck.”

Eventually the two would cross the hall where the giant must’ve broken through. The mutant itself was barreling down the hall, giving both only a few seconds to brace themselves. But Donny had an idea seeing as you decided to follow him. He cupped his hands together and lowered himself to the ground. “I’ll throw you across! Then you help me jump the hole! Hurry!” Donny said as the monster continued to roar and build speed.

The guards seemed to glance at each other. "We're going to have a look around the wagon." They said as they started looking through the contents of the wagon. Notably, they took certain items out and set them aside. Small vials containing a murky white liquid and ceremonial looking daggers. Eventually one of the guardsmen goes to you. "You two may leave now. We'll watch over this cart and speak to the owner when she comes back. Stay out of trouble you two." Buddy looks over to you, his expressionless face conveying no message but you could tell thanks to your link with him that he finds this whole situation strange and uncomfortable.
