Yang Bethlehem

While her initial strike was true, it still wasn't enough to bring the warrior down as she managed to recover far faster than Yang expected. A long arc of the axe was narrowly avoided as she ducked downwards, only to have a hidden shield strike follow up.

Raising her own shield, it clashed with the champion with a bang and sharp echo. Yang was strong but the champion was larger and stronger, the impact rocked her arm and shock to her head she briefly lost focus for a moment. That was all it took as the champion continued and sent her tumbling to the ground.

Her axe raised to bissect her, Yang eyes snapped upward to it before someone else prevented it from bearing down on her.

Ozzy, bless her, had interrupted the champion and managed to even enrage her. Though whatever joy she had was quickly silenced when Ozzy was brutally slammed several times and discarded like trash.

That brought fury and rage within Yang as her knuckles and teeth clenched tightly, eyes went bloodshot, and her breathe increased. A fire churned within her and the usual stable Ki energies in her was increased in response to her emotions.

Without hesitation, her muscle coiled and legs sprung forward like a tiger bearing down onto its prey. Letting out a wordless cry, she swung the mace with both hand right to the legs of the champion. Mace met bone and kneecap, as a sickening sound and crunch was heard across the battlefield.

The moment this happened, Yang leapt upwards with a single leg, twist and turn in mid-air before landing a hammer blow with both of her fist dead center of the champion head. The impact shock and force went through the helmet and straight to the brain, then the spine and finally the legs.

And still, she wasn't done as she was right on top of the champion shoulders in an upside down fashion. Her hand was already clenched down on the shoulders, and for the champion, it felt like an iron claw had sunk itself into her flesh.

Utilizing the momentum as they fell forward due to Yang extra weight and one broken leg, Yang managed to land feet-first and then tossed the champion like a sack of potato into the ground shoulder first. Combining weight, momentum and force altogether. She barely halted herself ,as one leg was raised upwards into an axe kick position, in time when the haze lifted from her vision.

Yang hissed and clicked her tongue hard before she ignored the champion and head towards Ozzy, smashing and getting rid of any Varjan knight that stood in their path.

Once she reached Ozzy, Yang quickly examined the harpy for any severe damage.

"You alright?!" She quickly said and gently touched him, not wanting to aggravate any damage done.

Ditzy Stoneclub

While he managed to held Nera down, the Viera was still able to find footing and clawed at him desperately in order to escape.

Ditzy saw it and let one hand free from the grasp to protect his sides by raising a guard against it, confident that he can take it.

It didn't and it resulted in having a claw raking his skin and flesh, which elicited a cry of pain and blood pouring from the wound. This brief window slacked his grip on Nera and she was free to escape from Ditzy grasp.

That usually works against hell boars. He thought to himself but then again, he never really tried to simply hold a hell boar down. Ditzy had often snapped it before it could do anything further, unless the boar was really strong or large. He thought a rabbit would've been easier.

To Ditzy luck, the slashes wasn't as deep to expose the bone and was a shallow one as his physical body was a lot tougher than that. He tested his fingers and it still moved, though he winced as each action had blood slowly spurting from it.

"That hurts." Ditzy only responded in a flat tone, not too pleased and trying to ignore the pain.

Ditzy tightened himself and went low, carefully inching forward to her reach. Ditzy had felt Nera body and muscle, deducing that she was reaching the end of her stamina too. Ditzy eyed the sandbag weapon that laid close to Nera, the scuffle had them rolling and moving around that it was next to her.

An idea hatched in his head and he decided to act on it.

Got to keep her moving, dad often said you got to make sure the prey is always on the run. Ditzy thought and he smiled.

"Hey, hey, let's play tag!" He smiled despite the wound and loss of blood that had slowly stopped itself. Ditzy was very good in tag after all.

That was the only warning Nera got as Ditzy moved forward in an almost insulting speed, or at least, insulting for a Viera standard as he jogged towards her leisurely. It was the most stable run Ditzy can afford to do without falling over as he approached her with his guard up, and if Nera wasn't careful, those arms would soon be around her and this time, much tighter and stronger.

If Nera tries to take a fight, Ditzy would immediately dive into her once again but otherwise, he often move, doubleback his steps and try to head straight to Nera. Inadvertently buying time but also keeping pressure in exhausting Nera. He was lacking in agility and speed but he can make it up with stamina and a burst of speed.

"Gonna catch ya, push ya, and wrestle ya!" Ditzy sung a tune that most goblins in his tribe did whenever they're the catcher. Unaware that Ditzy actual aim was his sandbag weapon as he tried to scare Nera from approaching him, and allowing him to retrieve it.

Once he got his weapon, he can use it as a way to make up for range and continued his game of 'tag'. Only this time, Ditzy had a sandbag that he can fully utilized more with his strength. It won't kill outright but it certainly hurt if it hits.

Yang Bethlehem

After seeing Ozzy coming down and relaying what he saw to them, she nodded as he quickly got him to her side.

@ShwiggityShwah

"Alright then, you seem to have smart thinking." Yang patted his head gently, her face looking like a stone as her focus was already towards preparing herself for combat. "I'll leave it to you on where and how to intervene if needed."

"I'll see if I can take on their leader." With that, no other words was exchanged as Yang waited patiently for their target to reach them. When they did, Yang crouched low enough like a tiger hiding in the foliages.

From there, she sighted her quarry and noted the size as well as weapons. Good thing she decided to borrow some weapons, it'll make things easier and harder for them to track her.

As the battle started, Yang remained in her position for a bit longer. To ensure that the leader doesn't see her instantly.

She took a calm look at the unfolding battlefield and continued her controlled breathing. Her vision was at its widest angle from her position and she was nearly able to see all of the movement.

Now. She thought to herself, dropping herselfs among the chaos. Her movement seems to almost bend around people as she moved past them like a snake.

The moment she's within ten feet of her target, Yang suppressed all thoughts from her head. Going in as if nothing but clear conscious in her and to hide her bloodlust.

Once she was at two feet apart, that's when her entire body sprung into action and the very air whistled as she fell onto her enemy like a panther. Yang aimed a blow straight to female leader head and helmet, with controlled might but unparallel speed.

She didn't aim to kill, but aim to concuss instead. Yang was after all still a monk after all.

Ditzy Stoneclub

Looks like Mister Forest really want us to get Nera. Ditzy idly thought in between as he followed Freyr and Nagare, he was at the tail end of the group but it seem that his surroundings was quite eager in helping him, that he hadn't tripped at all.

Maybe I should be careful next time in how I touch the forest and plants? He wondered if that's possible since stepping on grass kind of hurts them? It makes no sense, the most he can do is to be careful.

After a while, they finally slowed to a stop and Ditzy peered from the sides to see what's going on.

"Is she sleeping?" Ditzy asked as he saw Nera kneeling down with her eyes closed. He wondered if the rest of the other four person is sleeping too, and there's a weird smell in the air.

Isn't that smell when things become bad? Ditzy was too busy wondering about it to notice that there's another barrier forming behind them, and was merely perplexed at this as he looked backward before looking at Nera again.

The kidnapper must been those four, that's what Ditzy deduced until a new voice appeared.

Ditzy frowned heavily and felt immense dislike just by looking at this new person's face, not even Jote prompted this bad of a response to him.

"That's the face of a bad person." Ditzy pointed a finger to the new intruder and promptly looked around for a rock or stone to lob him with. There's no need to discuss things with people like that.

So much so, Ditzy was brought out of his labor only when Nera had jumped onto Freyr, knocking the rabbit man unconscious. When Nera turned to look at them, Ditzy was reminded of how those big boars used to look at him or how mom sometimes looks at dad.

Ditzy dropped the sandbag he carried,spat at both of his hand, rubbed it and widened his stance, lowering himself with arms outstretched.

Ditzy smiled widely at Nera. "Let's play! Let's play!"

He didn't know why, but animals seems to always get more worked up at him when he smiled. Perhaps they understood what he meant?

Ditzy dove forward instead of retreating, catching Nera off-guard and deliver a heavy blow by a headbutt straight into Nera's stomach. His mismatched-horns weren't sharp as Magnus and by comparison, is very dull.

Should Nera be hit:

Ditzy arms wrapped around Nera own arms and body, bringing it into a chokehold as the momentum brought both of them to the ground.

After a rough landing, she was quickly pinned to the ground by Ditzy as he held onto her lower body much how like a child will hold onto their mother.

A Viera was strong, no doubt about it, more so when one's enraged after being fed by strong mana.

That meant little to hob-goblins in a contest of strength, a race that had evolved its strength and physical enhancements so much to the point that their intelligence suffered for it. A race that can contest even Minotaurs and Ogres despite their diminutive size.

And Ditzy, was considered to be a monster even by his own race standards. The latter keeping a quiet face as he focused to only hold her down and not break her spine in half.

Nera finds herself unable to break free at all, evident as despite the immense trashing and furious struggle to break free, Ditzy arms were like a vice clamp. Though Nera legs and foot will able to find purchase on land and stand up, if she recovered quickly.

Nagare was to be left with solving the situation by herself as Ditzy had his hands full.

@PaulHaynek@ShwiggityShwah

Yang Bethlehem

She followed the Sonarrans and their troops, never separating from Ozzy side even as she observed the coat of arms and burning it at the back of her head. Since the majority of their gear looks the same as their enemies.

From the distance, she saw the city of Varjo and frowned at it. It gave off a bad vibe to her senses, a chill went down her spine even as she suppressed it. Still, Yang didn't feel comfortable at all just looking at it so she can't imagine how it'll feel if she actually get inside there.

Yeah, she can understand why Bart doesn't want to tangle with that. She gently ribbed Ozzy sides as she directed his attention to Varjo.

@ShwiggityShwah

"See that? That gives me bad vibes." Yang pointed towards Varjo, trying to restrain her disgust for it. It was completely different from those of her homeland. Sure, there are places where one shouldn't go but none of those places compared to...this. "It makes me sick."

Still, just as their setting up, Felipe approached them and asked what they can. Something that Yang prepared herself.

"Give me a one-handed mace and shield, I'm a fighter. Let me engage their champions, I can defeat or at the very least, stall them out." Yang tapped her fingers, apprehensive since she'll have to restrain herself from using her typical moves but she'll figure a way out.

Yang then turned towards Ozzy, this was his chance to do...whatever he hopes to do.

Ditzy Stoneclub

Ditzy frowned and pouted his mouth at Jote words, but kept quiet to the side as Freyr interacted with her.

Hearing the conclusion of the Jote words, Ditzy crossed his arms in frustration even as he stuck his tongue out. Not liking her at all and feeling quite mad at her for insulting Freyr.

When Freyr seemed to respond in a despondent tone, it just fueled Ditzy more to prove her wrong.

"No, we're gonna show that Freyr was correct!" He hotly said to Freyr, taking the two of them by surprised as the usual happy go lucky Ditzy was actually mad. When asked on how, he pointed a finger to a far distance. "We're gonna bring a Varjo that wants to burn this forest down, and put him in front of her! We'll bring a fat one too if she wants weight!"

Despite having the right intentions, his method was completely in the wrong place.

Though that's when Ditzy felt something, he can't explain what it was but the breeze felt weird to him. The trees, leaves, and branches also gave out a weird vibe to him.

When that was finished, the Jote came out and informing them that Nera was captured. That got his attention since that look reminded him of parents that can't find their children.

"We need to find her then. Ditzy will help." Ditzy said to Freyr urgently.
@PaulHaynek@ShwiggityShwah

Yang Bethlehem

She nodded to Felipe explanation, Yang never really knew the full story except that the Varjans was being bad. Her previous experience had been a sour experience but further information from them made her distaste for them grew. She resisted the urge to tightened her fist and Yang used controlled breathing exercise to calm herself, ensuring her poker mask wasn't broken.

Hearing what was needed to be done, she glanced towards the drink, then to Ozzy, and reached for the mug. She let the bitter alcoholic beverage touched her lips but she mimicked the gulping sound, placed it down and licked her lips.

"Sounds fun, let's do it." Her hand wiping the foam away and a grin on her face present.

While they cheer at her answer, she turned her head towards Ozzy and whispered to him. "This is it. If you can convince them, do it. I'll serve as your bodyguard. Just remember, we're not related to the Guild."

"So what's the plan? We hit their reinforcements? How many we're talking about?" Yang turned her attention back to Felipe for further details on their plan.

Ditzy Stoneclub

Ditzy was having a pleasant time even as he explored around but he slowly walked alongside Freyr as he listened to his side of the story.

"That doesn't seem fair, why boys are seperated from girls? What if they get lost? Then there's no boys to play with the girls!" Ditzy remarked, his eyes wide and then his brow furrowed at what they meant. For Ditzy, born to a goblin and hob-goblin village, everyone stayed together tightly.

It was almost like the opposite of of his own village.

"Maybe Nera wanted to follow you? Nera seem more mad that you didn't ask her to go along your trip." Ditzy postulate as he listened to Freyr as he walked with a skip in his step, his two arms outstretched to balance himself. "I'm sure she'll play with you again if you talk to her!"

Ditzy nodded when Freyr said they needed to look for Jote even if he didn't know who or what a Jote is. Still, he didn't said anything else and just enjoyed the scenery as they moved along.

It was when they arrived to a housing area, that Ditzy got a look at Jote. Ditzy tilted his head at that in curiousity as he looked at the elder bunny rabbit girl. They didn't seem anything like what his father told or described, but maybe it's a different species?

Oh well. Ditzy rolled his shoulders at that and smiled at Jote with a wave of his hand in greetings.

"Freyr came back to tell you about the bad people who wants to do bad things to monster girls!" Ditzy stated obviously, not to mention thequestion of forest abandoning others doesn't really make sense to him. "So that's why we're here! And he's still part of the forest, since he never abandoned it!"

Ditzy was not familiar, and perhaps, would never understand the deeper link of connection between the woods and Freyr species. Such question and understanding is far beyond his comprehension, though he does understand action.

And so far, Freyr hadn't done anything to be warranted to be left behind. He just took a trip outside the forest in Ditzy eyes. Like how he left his village to see the world, that certainly didn't count as abandoning the forest.
I'm so sorry for the late reply, last week was hectic to say the least.

Yang Bethlehem


Yang initially stand in front of Ozzy first when they're met with the warriors, her breathe increased and arms tensed underneath her disguise robes.

A moment passed as she struggled to think of any good excuse that doesn't involve someone being knocked out and saw them moving for their weapons. She nearly swore under her breathe when she saw it happen.

"Just wai-" She said before they changed their tune, laughing at them boisterously as she readied herself for the worst.

Then the next words uttered by them, made her sigh both in relief and exasperation. Entering the town, her nose twitched at the scent, it wasn't the worst but it certainly showed the conditions of the town and its people.

She took a seat across them and bowed politely, her hands moving to the proper respect but she held it halfway to not give her identity up.

"Yes, I heard of him briefly." Yang inclined her head at that, she was part of the rescue team after all. Though its best not to let it on.

"No, we're just wanderers and passer-by." She waved her hands dismissively at that but turned her eyes to Ozzy to help her for the next bit. "But after seeing the state of what Varjo did to others while coming here, I think we should do something to help the people."

She winked at them in good nature with a slight ribbing to Ozzy to help back her on this.

@ShwiggityShwah

Yes, she doesnt even realize male monsters are a thing.

@PaulHaynek@ShwiggityShwah

Yang Bethlehem

She huffed at that even as she felt a headache coming to her head, Bart was not going to like it.

"If you can disguise as a human, better." Yang muttered in between even as she tried and figured what disguise would work best with her.

"Male? Sure, you look a bit tom-boyish and less endowed but I think you'll be fine." Yang muttered without much thought either before lifting her head at her words. "No offense."

"Yeah, we make sure no one see or recognize us." Yang sighed as she readied herself for their trip, putting a bandanna on her hair to sweep it back. Her traditional eastern clothing being swapped to a more generic brown robes wore by travellers and long clothing, and skirt. It'll restrain part of her upper limbs movement but give her enough freedom on her legs.

Ditzy Stoneclub

Hearing what the female Viera had to say, and in a more unkind way made Ditzy puffed his cheeks in annoyance.

"If Freyr abandoned the wood, he'll never come back but Freyr did, so he never abandoned it!" Ditzy was mildly annoyed and angry at the lady harsh words as he crossed his arms. He didn't exactly have a nice impression of her already. Not to mention she was dumb too.

Forest are forest, they can't up and leave. Besides, why would they leave someone as nice as Freyr?

Still, Ditzy pushed his annoyance away as Nera opened the door for them after listening to Freyr explanation. They climbed the wooden stairs for awhile as Ditzy wondered how they made one inside a tree. His father never made something like this before.

When they finally arrived at the village, all his negative feeling was replaced with awe, astonishment, and curiosity as he looked at the surroundings with a wide eye and mouth agape.

Freyr village was so large and huge! With so many people as well that live among the trees that he never knew was possible. It was similar to a treehouse that he saw other goblin built but this was beyond anything he imagined.

He left the stairs and step outwards from it, tripping once in his step before he stumbled a few times, steadied himself with both hands outstreched. All the while, his smile never dropped at all.

"It's such a large treehouse!" Ditzy admired with stars in his eyes, he always wanted to see one and he had the chance to see the biggest treehouse ever in his life! "Oh look, look! There's even a fountain! So cool!"

So engrossed with it, he never cared or paid attention to the looks that others were giving him. More interested in the knowledge that there's a fountain here and trying to figure out how the water got there.

He turned back to Freyr as he explained a wood-warder is. Ditzy nodded along as he tried to understand what it meant and entail before he saw who they're referring to. Without much thought, he waved back at them in greetings in the middle of Freyr explanation.

"But why can't they come back? Isn't it lonely? Won't their mama and papa miss them?" Ditzy asked as he wondered why male Viera can't come back. That sounds...lonely. No wonder Freyr left if that's the case.

"Should we visit the elder first? It's important to do so." Ditzy suggested though he never figured out why, maybe because they're old? No one does it for Ditzy though. "Or we can see your mama and papa first!"
Sorry, was supposed to post by Friday but DMCV came out.
@ShwiggityShwah

Yang Bethlehem.

She was readied for anything, but Yang was briefly taken aback when Ozzy managed to lift her even. Though that ended swiftly as she still maintained a hold on Ozzy and slight adjustment not to strangle him by accident. Ozzy didn't manage to escape from her grip and turned towards speaking instead.

Listening to his reason, Yang nodded at this several times but she sighed at Ozzy insistence to keep on going with thinking he can persuade the Varjo's.

"That's a fine argument, but do you think that'll work alone? Justice without power are simply wishful words. Convincing people who are convinced in their belief that there's no co-existence possible will be akin to convincing a rock." Yang said without hesitation and a more philosophical side she hadn't shown to others. She wasn't tutored officially but she learned from monks who studied scriptures their entire lives. "Sometimes, you have to use force to fight against force. And you have little of that."

@PaulHaynek

Hearing what Haley said simply make Yang shook her shoulders at that.

"I owe Guildmaster Bart and I wish to repay a debt. As part of a guild member. I have responsibilities, much like Talia who handles the smith, or Neil who handles other things." She replied, she was now considered one of the older members since most members like Magnus, Bast, Eilidh, the priest, moth sisters was gone. Someone have to step in and ensure things run well.

"Guildmaster Bart is also a little scrawny for me, and I have seen enough naked muscled men for a life time." Yang waved her hand dismissively over Bart being her interest. Being born and raised in a temple did that for her.

"You still want to take on the quest? You, who barely can break out from me?" Her hand also let go of the hold on Ozzy and into a more friendly hold as she placed a hand on his head instead. Patting him much like an older sister. "I'm not saying that what you believe in is wrong, nor that you shouldn't try. Just that, you have to consider the situation. From my experience, the Varjos are far too gone and volatile for it to happen."

"So I'll ask you one last time, are you sure to take on the quest?" She asked Ozzy one more time with a look.

Ditzy Stoneclub

"Let's go!" Ditzy excitedly said even as he tripped forward, tumbled but quickly got back up to his feet and brush his clothes. His spirits not dampered in the slightest.

He followed Nagare and Freyr closely, listening to Freyr words and advice as they journeyed to his home land.

"Hey, hey, do you think Ditzy can get a bow? Ditzy wanna be like you and shoot good!" Ditzy commented to Freyr in between their journey, he was excited to get a bow that he can play and not break. His father gave up making one and ask him to stick with throwing his sandbag instead.

"Oh, is there any nice beast to play with then?" His memories went to the larger boars that most goblins use as mounts and beast of burden. Those were nice and gentle things.

Hearing more about the forest had Ditzy nodding to each of it, more so when Freyr seemed to be enjoying himself.

So every part of this forest is alive? He'll have to be careful to walk around then, no likes to fall down on them. More so him. Ditzy felt the forest looking the same no matter where he look, which kind of confused his head.

"That doesn't sound nice." Further words on why they vapture Vierans had him frowning in thought. There are different magic? He always thought magic was those flashy, bright things, or his father pulling his fingers apart. Maybe it was like that?

They reached a mist, and that got Ditzy confused. Don't mist normally come out in the morning? He never knew they could exist outside of it.

Ditzy held Freyr hand and followed him closely. A familiar thing as he was lead often as a child by his parents. This brought some good memories back as he reminiscence about it, his thoughts broke when they left the mist.

Ditzy was strucked awe as he looked at the largest tree he came upon, neck upwards and mouth open. He looked at it for a few moments until Freyr took a few steps ahead, that's when he turned around. Ditzy tilted his head at that and noticed Nagare was doing the same, so he turned around as well.

Oh, is that a Viera? Pretty. Ditzy idly thought as he looked at her. Not even registering that she had an arrow nocked on them. When she asked them, Ditzy happily smiled and explained.

"Freyr was feeling sad and lonely! So we accompanied him back here to cheer him up!" Ditzy blurted out their purpose, after all, Freyr did wanted to come back home to visit his village.
