Yang Bethlehem

She ignored Lily childish behaviour for now, more focused on the old woman as she gently covered her wounds.

"Wrapping her would be good but one must also cleanse the body properly first." She hesitate at that part as she hadn't much idea of grave keeper duties. Yang suppose at this point, it doesn't matter but duty and obligation forced her too.

"We lack the funds for a proper funeral or a coffin." She said bitterly, though she recuperate that by pointing what she can do. "I-I can handle the funeral rites, though the coffin might be something we'll have to make by hand."

It doesn't sound that bad, at least, not compared to the time where her master asked her to build an extension of a dojo by hand. Literally, when she had to hammer, cut, and dig everything by hand. It was time consuming process and it was already getting close to dark.
Got some free time, posted.

Yang Bethlehem


Yang breathed in and out slowly, her eyes was bloodshot as she idly searched for a stone around and gripped it tightly. Pure focus, strength and martial poured forward and the stone was turned to dust in her fist as she stood back up.

"You could have at least tried to restrained her." Yang muttered, all thoughts of anger gone as she felt nothing but sorrow and regret in not being able to fulfill this woman last wish.

"She's just someone I met earlier today." She quietly answered, her mind unfocused as she placed a hand over the old lady head, closed her eyes and gave a solemn prayer for her in her local dialect words. A sutra of departure, rest and moving on. That's the least she can do so the old lady spirit doesn't roam the earth forever.

"While I did err in my ways, I certainly know when, where and what to speak properly, little moth." Yang finished as she stood up and remarked to Lili. " Our task has ended, but I'm not going to let the woman body be left alone and exposed."

"You all can go to our requester and collect the payment, I'll...bury her with who she wanted to be." Yang made preparation to transport the corpse for a funeral, she'll do it herself if she have to. Transporting the corpse will be a bit of a problem so she turned to the guards. "Is it possible for one of you to escort me or follow me to cemetery, north of Lymeria? I'm afraid it will create more misunderstanding should I bring the corpse by myself..."

Ditzy Stoneclub

@Lmpkio@PaulHaynek[@Silver arrot] ELD @The Irish Tree Magnus

Ditzy looked at the unfolding scene and smile at it, everyone seemed to be having fun as they played with one another.

He still stuck close to Neil side as he continued observing while twirling his bag, giggling from time to time as he found something funny or amusing.

Then when one of the human grabbed the harpy and pulled her close, he shouted words that he recognized that bandits often used.

Ditzy lose his smile slowly and frown in dislike heavily, he twirled his sandbag even faster now and made sure to stay behind that bad man sight. His back was completely exposed to him since no one bothered to look at him and was too engrossed with the two large dragon ladies.

When the twirling of his sandbag reached the strongest, that wind can be felt from it, Ditzy steadily took his time to aim his sandbag at his knee.

Like a thunderbolt, Ditzy took his heavy sandbag and let it go at its apex of its turn. All the momentum, strength and speed was added as Ditzy followed his father instruction clearly, twisting and turning his hips, legs, and foot all together to the throw.

The sandbag flew like an arrow, and lodged itself right onto the back of the bad man knee. Just in the same moment Titanica tail would swipe the pistol off, unbeknownst to Ditzy.

Its impact would send the leader to his knees and fall down, the damage would not be fatal or wounding but the impact alone was strong to force it to bend forward.
I'm busy this week, quite busy. Prob won't be able to post, sry.

Yang Bethlehem

Yang sighed as she headed back to the old church, the day slowly passed into night and they finally arrived to their destination.

The bonfire was a surprised, and seeing four other figures there, she raised an eyebrow but nonetheless approached them to get to the bottom of things.

That's when she caught something at the corner and looked at it, the old woman laid down on the ground but what got her attention was the immense blood that pooled around her.

Yang froze in her track, and it was like the world stilled for a moment. The heat of the bonfire was gone was the chill in the air felt like a biting frozen wind, she could do nothing but stare at the sight for a while.

"Small moth, be quiet." Yang said to Lily coldly, not even caring about proper ethics as she walked past the guards and knelt over the old lady. Her heart beat furiously, a stark contrast to just how cold she was right now.

Her hand laid on the old lady neck, confirming indeed that she was dead even if the apparent blood loss made it obvious.

She died.

"W-Was she like this when you arrived?" Yang inquired, not to anyone in particular but her eyes twitched fiercely. Every part of her restrained from just lashing out immediately, her focus was at its peak and the cold blood begun to boil within her.

Ditzy Stoneclub

"Haha, yup! But they probably didn't have anyone to play with. My tribe have a few male, so we got plenty of playmates." Ditzy answered honestly as he twirled the sandbag around, occasionally causing him to be carried by its momentum and he followed suit. Leading to a few times of him tumbling to the ground and he got up. "But they're nice, can I play with them next time?"

He asked Neil innocently, since he was the elder one.

Neil probably doesn't want to play, ah well, I'll play with them. Maybe they'll play sandbag with him too!

That was when Ditzy heard the roar, and winced at that as he followed Neil who had moved quickly. It took some effort keeping up but soon, he reached his destination and looked at the guild house for the source.

Oh, that's a tall lady. Ditzy watched in awe as he looked at the large lady with a reptilian tail, he thought it was one of those lizardwomen.

That's when he looked at the house and saw other presences, he lit up with a smile as he excitedly pointed to the roof.

"Look! Look! Is there a party going!?" Ditzy directed their attention to the new figures, more so after the fire breathing display as that got him more worked up. "That's so fun! Come on, let's go and join the fun!"
Yang Bethlehem

"Why did you..do that Miss Yang?"


"I couldn't figure another way, and I tried the other way, my apologies." Yang said with resignation, she herself tried everything and unfortunately, she lacked the oratory skill her master has.

Lily meanwhile was moving herself so she was in front of Maria and Rebecca, Her hand on the hilt of her sword getting ready for a fight. She didn't have to do much fighting because Yang had knocked them all out, "Well it looks like we are in tribulatione, Good job human"


"Yeah, I know, I'll turn myself in after I explained everything to Guild master Bart." Yang echoed her sentiment, her eyebrows lowered alongside with her shoulders. One of her hand rested on her temple as she was hunched over with the troubles she'll be facing.

"Well, Yang," Rebecca started, "The Woman completely vanished. I have been wondering about this, and it might seem crazy, but I have a feeling that the Lady wouldn't mind too much that her husband is dead. In fact, I think she is also dead. I mean, it is awfully queer that an elderly woman wishes to marry a man who died almost one score years ago, in a church that has been derelict for about as long. No thought has been given to wedding preparations, there are no guests..."


Yang bit the lower end of her lips, and closed her eyes. Fist tightened, her muscles tensed and chest beat rapidly.

Then taking a deep breathe and exhaling slowly, she let all of those frustration go and rubbed the back of her head.

"Well, I...I kind of expected it, old woman, no one concerned about her, in an abandoned place and waiting for someone? The signs was there." Yang muttered, it was not the first time she had done exorcism or placating the restless spirit but those were never her forte. It was far more complicated and at times, no real solutions to it.

But, they had a job to do and do it they shall.

"Nevertheless, we have to inform her and hopefully, she accepts it peacefully. I know a few sutra verse and chants to put a spirit to rest but I'm not proficient enough should she...not accept it." Yang shamefully admitted as she tapped her foot anxiously, she had placed physical power first. Now she wished she had paid more attention to some of the more delicate things a monk do.

"What I was taught is to either move her corpse to the same location as the person she seeks, but with the time left, I doubt we can exhume her remains, transport it to Lymeria, and rebury her without suspicion or trouble." Yang motioned her hands as she explained what the modus operandi normally was for her. Instead, she turned to Rebecca for advice as she's unfamiliar with this land tradition and methods. "I'm not sure if that works here, Lady Rebecca, you're the more experienced priestess here. What are your suggestions?"

"I'm not afraid if I have to face the old lady alone and placate her." She firmly said with a thumb pointed to herself.
I'm really not feeling the current arcs. If it were possible to basically drop out and come back in the next IC day, I'd honestly do that.


Maybe you could send your char back? I don't mind continuing the assigned quest on my own.

Yang Bethlehem

She frowned and felt her heart saddened when the woman ran away, along side any hopes she had in convincing the woman as well as the weight of the consequences she would soon face in explaining to guildmaster Bart.

"Well...my bad?" Yang placed a hand on her forehead as she turned to her guildmates, not willing to face or look them in the eyes as she was sure that they would be livid or angry at what she did.

Things was much easier when she stayed at the temple, perhaps she hadn't left at all.

"Yeah, sorry about that." Yang admitted with a disheartened voice when she heard the Bard reprimanding voice as it felt like a splash of cold water on her, uncomfortable and a shock. More so when he continued on to explained and gave them the information that they needed.

She winced at hearing the part that the man passed away was uncomfortable, but it was something that she had expected. The location of his grave however, was a welcomed information.

"North of Lymeria, cemetery, I see, thank you for your help then." Yang inclined to the bard gratefully and politely for his advice and keeping part of the deal despite her failures. "Though I think you should at least try to talk with your wife quickly, I think she'll probably listen."

Hearing the bard words, she idly brushed her hair at that before she curled it around her finger tips. She looked reminiscently at it for a moment before she broke out into a smile as she turned to the bard.

"Nah! I told you already, I'm doing this out of the good of my heart!" She wrapped her arm around the bard shoulders and gave it a pat a few times, knocking his breath out as she unintentionally put a little more force than necessary. It shook him but not enough to do much damage.

"Sides, there's this granny that waited for him for almost all her life...I don't want this to end tragically." She wistfully said to him and her smile faltered but she kept it up with a pat on the back to the bard before she pinched his cheeks playfully. "And you, need to straightened yourself! You won't get a good passerby like me wanting to help your marriage out all the time, you know."

"Well, we'll take your advice and be off then. See ya soon." Yang bid farewell to the bard and joined her companions.

"I'm sorry, I messed that one up severely, let us depart quickly." She apologized with a deep bow of her head to them before she looked up to them and quickly moved out of the town. Not wanting to risk more guards coming to them.

"Wait, why are you here? What happen to the old lady?" She asked after realizing that they should be with the old woman. "Most of all, how're we going to explain to her that the person she's waiting for is dead?"

Ditzy Stoneclub

Ditzy turned his head to the side when he listened to the goblins plan, he didn't understand what game they're wanting to play.

Perhaps they wanted to play tag? He brightened at that, he was good in tag. He was not fun but he can run all day, most of the time he wins when the sun was setting by chasing them until they are slowed.

Then they shifted and with their clubs out, Ditzy had the happiest smile when they realized they wanted to play the game he was best at.

Sandbag! Ditzy quickly unslung the sandbag he carried and slammed it into the ground by accident in his haste and excitement to get it out.

It felt like a large war hammer or immense weight had been driven into the ground, a powerful and large dull thud echoed across the forest as the sandbag had left a deep indent on the ground. Everyone felt the impact as it traveled through the ground, for the goblins, while accustomed to hob-goblin strength, had never seen his before and it was a far cry compared to the female hob-goblins.

The forest, who had the occasional critter or insect sound, went silent for a moment in response to what Ditzy did.

"Oh, sorry." Ditzy apologized as he slowly lifted the sandbag up and more carefully this time before he smiled at them eagerly. "Come on! I don't mind playing with you all!"

Then when he noted Neil started to run, and his words answered the question he asked earlier as he looked at Eilidh.

"Oh, we're going home for dinner? Alright then, see you all." Ditzy despondently said to the goblins as he saw Neil sprinting for it, which got him into another mood for a game. "Oh, is Neil racing us home!? Okay!"

Half dragging the sand bag, Ditzy followed soon after as he ran behind Neil. Though his speed was comparatively a lot slower due to his nature as a hob-goblin, and lack of finesse balance. One that he may or may not trip half-way running.

Yang Bethlehem

Yang groaned, seeing Rebecca approached them. She sighed wearily as nothing is going to plan, that's when she was left with one option.

Guildmaster Bart was going to chew her out heavily on this though, and she can already see the disapproval of her master at Nippon despite the long distance.

"I'm going to help the old woman out, and this one too. Whether they like it or not." Yang said to Rebecca and Maria as she stretched her neck. "So I'm going to be a bit rough."

"Maria, get behind Rebecca." She said to the Mothwoman and gestured to Rebecca to come forward before she moved forward to the guards, ignoring completely their threats.

"I'm kind of in a rush and you're just doing your jobs. So I'll be nice." She changed her tune completely, that sweet voice gone as she cracked her knuckles menacingly. Looking more like a ruffian and rough neck than a polite lady, she was also already in range despite their sword pointed at her. "You all get lost, and no one gets hurt. Or you all come, and get hurt."

Yang doubted they'll take the former, so without a word more, her hands blurred and struck the guard that was threatening her the whole time at his neck with a chop of her hand. Swift and precise that it knocked him unconscious.

With that done, she moved ahead and twisted her hips forward and struck out with her fist at the second guard. Her knuckles colliding with the second one helmet in a crash that sent the shockwave straight to the brain, rattling it like jelly and leaving him unable to move for a moment as he collapsed like a doll that had its string cut off.

Like a scythe among weed, Yang disposed of them as fast and careful as she can. She didn't wanted to injure them but holding herself back was far more immense as she recalled seeing her master making this look easy.

Another strike of a rising back hand to the neck, a precise kick to the temple, a palm strike to the solar plexus with her entire body weight behind it, and holding the last one in a choke-hold with one hand. Her fingers held and cut the blood flow, a move that demand precision, skill and strength all together.

Yang however, was not the top student of the White Tiger temple for nothing, and her skills backed it up.

In the blink of an eye, she had taken down six guards without breaking a sweat and non-lethally. She let out of a breathe that she held in as her concentration abated, her body that was tensed like a spring now relaxed as she looked at the woman.

"Look, Miss. I really meant it when I said I wanted to help, and there's another old woman that needs it as well." She came out clean and rubbed the back of her head in frustration, not really liking what Bart would say and being branded a criminal. She pleaded with her more earnestly and bowed her head to her. "So, please, just...just talk with your husband and sort it out? If he does turn out to be scum, I'll wring his balls myself, for free."


But I'll be damn, I'm not about to turn away from someone that needs my help.
Yang closed one eye in annoyance and resignation, she doubt her guild mate will approved this.

Ditzy stoneclub

@Silver Carrot ELD @PaulHaynek Neil

"Yay! Let's play! Let's play!" Ditzy said excitedly as he joined the goblins for some fun games of tag, or was about to when Neil caught their attention. Ditzy didn't mind, Neil can play with them as well if that's the case.

Hearing Neil unable to react, Ditzy decided to help him out.

"Oh, I'm Ditzy, from the stoneclub tribe. It's somewhere far from here, a week travel or so." Ditzy answered the question as he placed himself next to Neil and the excited goblins. "This is Neil! Member of the guild tribe I joined! Its close, and Neil's a bit shy."

"Ah, this is Eilidh! And she's also part of the guild tribe, and close friends with Neil! So you need to ask her permission before playing with Neil." Ditzy explained further when she made herself known, unwittingly his word of choice gave the impression that Eilidh and Neil are betrothed to one another.

"But I can have sex with you all! But papa said I need to get married to someone I like." Ditzy pouted at that as he recalled his father also asking him to not simple have sex simply, though Mama said the opposite instead. It was confusing.

Nevertheless, Ditzy looked at his two companions and then the time of the sky before he asked them. "Should we be getting back now? Its gonna be dinner soon."

Yang Bethlehem


"We're here on behalf of her husband to sort out their marriage problem," Yang politely said to the guards with a bow of her head to them, calmly explaining what was going. "We don't have any ill intentions whatsoever to her."

Yang eyes then caught a glance of her two other guild mates and an idea formed in her head, so she pretended like she hadn't seen them yet.

"Do you not think it would be tragic if a couple would divorce with one another simply over a misunderstanding that could be solved if they had talked to one another?" She appealed to their senses as she approached the guards closer, her arm close to her body and giving a pleading look to them. One akin to a sad little puppy.

"One chance, and that's it. We'll leave immediately afterwards."

Come on, please work! This usually work in the temple!. Yang inwardly hoped, she felt bad deceiving them but she can't afford to let that old women be disappointed.

@PaulHaynek Neil @Silver Carrot ELD

Ditzy Stoneclub

"No worries! Goblins are nice." He smiled at Neil innocently as he assured him. "I think they'll like you."

"Eilidh too." Ditzy added as he looked at the tall centaur.

With that, the trio went around to find goblins. Wandering around the town, they learned that there was a goblin tribe at Valoras Wood. Well, more Eilidh and Neil. Ditzy had taken numerous times to understand it but he got it only after they went outside the town.

The sun setting made him a bit worried, dad often say its best to go home for dinner. Though Eilidh and Neil hadn't said anything yet, so maybe it was alright for him to go on?

Soon, they arrived at the woods and his eyes caught the fire burning bright in the dark woods. Seeing that it was indeed goblins, Ditzy beamed as he heard Neil question.

"Yup!" Ditzy enthusiastically said as he entered and waved his arms in greetings to the goblins. "Hello! I'm Ditzy from the Stoneclub tribe! Can I play with you all?!"

To the goblins however, they've never heard or even though a male hobgoblin possible. Ditzy looked like a teenager that dressed in a hobgoblin attire, it was only the horns that jut out from the crown of his head that showed proof that he was a hobgoblin. His slightly stouter stature and muscular build also made him stood out as he carried his large backpack like it didn't weighed anything at all.

Though, in their minds, it was more possible that he looked like a deformed hobgoblin as he didn't have their famous assets.
