Victor Asimov

---

Location: waiting on the recruits >>> At Camp Equinox airstrip

It wasn't long before some of the facility's personnel began making their way onto the VTOL. They didn't seem to say much just put their bags in the middle of the craft with the rest of the sophisticated gear and found a seat. Some talked amongst themselves while others did try to ask him and his leadership cadre questions. Receiving only silence and stern stares in return.

Once all the necessary personnel and equipment was on board the flight crew began their pre-flight inspection. The command cadre found their seats toward the front of the aircraft and stood at attention in front of their seats. Victor stepped up his hands folded neatly behind his back while his eyes drifted over the children and a few of the other facility personnel that would be joining them.

“Your attention please!” waiting for a moment for the children to settle down, “I would like to formally inform you of your acceptance into Special Operations for Applied Sciences, Task Force Golem.” He paused for a moment as he began to slowly pace back and forth in the front of the craft. “My name is Victor Asimov, you will address me as Asimov or Colonel I will be your commanding officer. You will address my command cadre as their last name or Lieutenant.” A short pause, “do you understand!”

He took the time to introduce each of the other officers who in turn stepped forward and then back to their original position. “We will be leaving shortly for Camp Equinox. Like you, this camp is a top secret facility. You are not to disclose your information to the other soldiers at this camp unless ordered too.” The tall man reached up and grabbed a handle as the four massive engines started spinning up. This prompted the man to put some ear muffs on with a mic and instructed the others to do the same.

Resuming with his speech while the VTOL shuttered and groaned with the added weight on takeoff. “The purpose of this move is to give you specialized military training. we will train you in how to hold and conduct yourself in a military manner. We will push you to your limits, we will break you down, and we will see how far you can go before we build you all back up into a respectable fighting force.” Asimov waited for the aircraft to level out before returning to his seat. “My self and the other instructors are not your friends, we are not your scientists. But we will keep you alive, we will make you stronger, we will make you better.” Sitting down and strapping himself in the man had one final comment, “follow your orders and you’ll be fine. The only thing we ask of you, is that you don’t quite.”

/////>>>>--- A few hours later ---<<<<\\\\\

The instructors had sat there quietly observing the kids during the flight. Occasionally whispering something or making some kind of gesture towards the other instructors. This was until the radio crackled to life with the voice of the pilots, “making our final approach now.” With that Que Victor stood and resumed his earlier position while holding onto another pipe above him. “When the cargo bay door opens you are to grab your gear and follow the flashing white lights to the barracks. There are multiple buildings. Those that are housed in barracks Alpha with me are as follows.” A small drop down visor appeared in blue over his left eye. “Trey Anders, Kiki Moondance, Beatrix Tanner, Fiore Alba, and Audra Hannon.” The man moved to the back of the VTOL when it landed and the other instructors called out names.

The Cargo bay door slowly lowered as the rotors slowed to a stop. “Everybody up!” Asimov motioned for them to stand, “now get your shit and get out! Move! Move! Move!” he was yelling at them. The cargo bay door opened up to cool afternoon air on a cloudy day. Thick pine forest expanded out for miles until climbing the steep slopes of tall snow caped mountains. The airstrip was clean but otherwise deserted. Stark concrete and metal structures cropped up to the north of the run way. Several jets and other military aircraft set quietly inside hangers and earthen bunkers on the opposite side of the runway. Flashing white lights guided the Birthed towards their new homes and what looked to be training grounds.

Time Skip

Sorry for the wait. I hope this is satisfactory.

Goblin Gird

Figureing out where to go next with Luz /// Morning - Mid afternoon // Day 3

Gird looked up to the other goblin she seemed to be looking at him funny with two sticks in hand that looked a bit stronger than the ones they had gotten earlier. “What?” he gave her a weird look before looking himself over again. “That rabbit could smell us. It moved before I grabbed it. Now I smell like the forest and blend in a bit better.” He was still a bit curious about the rabbit hole and walked back up to it.

He reached out to grab the new stick only to feel the pain in his side from where he was bruised. He didn’t catch the new stick. Picking it up he moved it around a few times in his hand. “It’s a bit more sturdy and thicker, even looks like a different kind of wood.” He spoke loud enough for her to hear as she wandered off towards some trees. Gird made his way down into the hole finding it rather comfortable. She was right, there were a few stones and some berries at the back of the hole.

Emerging from the rabbit’s home he couldn’t see his friend but he could hear her in the trees. For a moment he was wondering what she was doing but lost interest with the thought of berries. The goblin split the berries equally into two piles he began looking over the stones. A few where rounded and small but a couple had sharp edges and points. Examining the pointed stones he was reminded again of his injury. A small price to pay. Yet, his eyes settled on something past the stone in his hands.

Girds vision had settled on the tree he was crushed against and walked up to it feeling the thick bark on the tree then his own side. The gears in his head began turning again ideas and thoughts of protection diving in and out. With the sharp stone in hand the goblin began working at the bark. Prying it away from the wood in one piece that could cover his bruise. Now that his stomach was full he could focus on other things.

After prying one small piece of bark off he looked back to the other goblin who had come down from the tree with some thin but strong looking vines and began to wrap it around herself. “Clever” he spoke aloud as he walked up next to her and then up at the tree with the ivy. He pondered for a moment how much he would need before climbing the same way she did cutting the strands of ivy he would need. The goblin then set to work weaving the ivy in and out of small holes in the bark. Slowly his creation began to take shape and the goblin finished wrapping the vines around himself. Mimicing his companion. The small pice of bark covering his bruised area. Goblin Gird did one more thing with the rest of the vines. He finished by wrapping his hands with the ivy doubling up the layers around his wrist and knuckles being careful not to make it too tight.

Once he was done he took a moment to look himself over and smiled at her, “so now that that is taken care of. Do you want to keep heading deeper into the forest or do you want to slowly make our way back towards the cave?” he paused for a moment as he looked around. Just because they had finished off the alpha didn’t mean that something wouldn’t be attracted by the smell of fresh blood. “Either way im confident I can find the way home. But I’ll follow you, it’s your turn to choose the path.” He smiled at her again while looking her over with her new stick as something came to mind. “O and if it helps I saw the other goblins with tools back at the cave. If you wanted you could probly strap that horn to the end of that new branch.” He felt more talkative now that he had something to eat too. Either way he would gather his new stick and berries before following her tucking the sharp stone in between the vines and his side.

An Inquisitors Story: The City of Ash and Decay (A High-Casual journey)

The forest was calm and silent. A little too silent for the shaman. He had broken off from the others that marched toward the town. Being a shaman did give him a bit more liberties when it came down to it. The giant half-Orc half-Goliath needed to break away at times, he needed to get a feel for the area. Feel the spirits and their emotions, mostly pain and agony from these lost souls. Subtle foot steppes and growls of a rather large brown bear could be heard as it casually wandered towards the kneeling shaman. The bear and its many runic markings brushed against the shaman as it walked by.

“Did you find anything Artur?” he didn’t have to talk to it vocally, the two were bonded after all. They could just as easily communicate telepathically. However, Genthok has found that the others prefer him to talk normally whenever possible. The bear looked at him for a moment before continuing to circle the shaman. Genthok never could get words out of the bear, just feelings. And right now there were two that his companion was giving off, one said “No” the other was cautious. His instincts were true to the core, this place felt off, like a corruption was spreading through the forest.

The plants he had set out to gather where, strange. Mushrooms, vines, flowers, tree bark, and roots. All could be found here but they looked slightly different. As if mutated, if they were there at all. Whatever was influencing this place seemed to be coming from the direction the others had gone in. he had noticed he had been absent for some time, but he didn’t hear any signs of battle just yet. But, he had nothing left to do here, “I suppose we should head back then, Come on Artur” the bear grunted and followed the shaman back towards the others.

The subtle noise of hollow bone hitting the stone and tattooed runes that littered his body could be heard as he wandered up to Ardur. It seemed that most of the other captains and inquisitors had already gathered at their leader’s side. Such an action can only mean one thing. They were preparing to go into the town.

Then suddenly as if knowing of their intentions, someone or something spoke to their minds. For him it was painful, as he had a slight resistance to it. This telepathy was the same he used when communicating with Artur. He stood there quietly behind the group and listened then began to speak while this thing was talking. Really he was thinking aloud as his mind seemed occupied. “Telepathy?” looking to how the others reacted he could tell it was a new and strange experience for them. To him it always felt… cold.

“Mass telepathy. It’s strong and powerful yet somehow familiar… why?” the half-breed snapped his fingers and looked to Ardur, “War Chief” a name he called Ardur on occasion. “My instincts tell me we could be dealing with a demon or devil of some notion. The corruption that floods the surrounding forest from the town could very well be a hell gate of some kind.” He hoped he was wrong about the gate, he had only dealt with one before and it was only open for a few hours. Not only does it mean someone opened it, but they also sacrificed something grate to do so. Of course there was always the chance he could be wrong The voice ended but was replaced with thunder… no. replaced by an earthquake.

“If I may War Chief. The one who spoke to us all. He seems to have a flare for the dramatic. I can only guess that this city and its people simply bored him. The skeletons on the wall, destruction of the city…” interrupted momentarily by the metal champion that seemed to be the source of the sound. “A champion in metal. We should prepare ourselves for horrors we cannot fathom. May the goddess bless us all.” Again he was cut off by a roar from this champion as it charged at them.

A few of the others took up positions and began to fight the beast, “Artur. Fall back and help River, you won’t be much help with this one. River he’s all yours” his brown bear roared back at the champion before taking position near where River was. The shaman slowly walked up behind the flanks and set his hammer down. The champion was getting very close now and his companions didn’t seem to be in position just yet.

Genthok drew a small bone blade from its place on his shoulder, his eyes began to glow brighter as he spoke, “payment is required in blood!” gripping the blade with his right hand and pulling it from his grasp with his left. “Willingly sacrificed!” Genthok made a fist with his right hand and raised it high. Crimson blood slowly dripping down his arm. The champion was drawing closer. The surrounding men began to question why they were there. Sure, a likely reaction when facing certain doom. “Hold your ground!” running his bloodied hand across his chest the runes began to glow the same color as his eyes.

A ghostly blue enveloped the runes and then his hands. The magic flowed through him, he could feel it in his very core. But, if he held on to this for too long it will consume him. With a great amount of force the half-breed slammed his hands on the ground. It looked like bolts of lightning, but they were running across the ground. The blue light branched out again and again under the feet of the soldiers. Then it bolted out from under them towards the giant. The ground in front of the soldiers began to crack and cave along the lines.

Genthok knew the giant was heavy, it’s metal after all and you can feel every step through the ground. This spell was a simple one all it did was destabilized the ground. He knew that this spell would more than likely not stop it. He only hoped that it would slow the creature down. “Come friends are you to meet death, before your place is taken?” a simple saying, but he said it with a smile on his face. “Today is going to be a good day.”

Goblin Gird

Figureing out where to go next with Luz /// Morning - Mid afternoon // Day 3

Gird tossed the horn to her before snatching a small flexible branch from the tree. The goblin carefully pulled one end of the branch through the fur and then the other through another place. Really all he was doing was getting it secured, so he could wear it sort of like a small cloak. He would need at least one more to replace this loin cloth of his. He wanted the material from the loin cloth to make something he could wear that could store things.

The goblin didn’t waste much time eating the tough meat, “I sure hope that not all of these rabbits are this tough.” Again the goblin smiled at her but his mind did wander back to the fight they just went through. The rabbit stirred and pulled away as he got close. He wasn’t being very loud, and he knew it was still asleep so it didn’t see him. He breathed in deep smelling the blood from their first kill.

Suddenly it came to him, they could smell him. That’s why the horned rabbit was startled and stirred from its slumber. How the hell would he mask that? The thought of mud cropped into his head. Thick, watery, can be used for good camouflage, and best of all smells like dirt. “Hey Luz make sure you check its home before we go for some better stuff. It also looks like we could also sleep in there too if we ever needed a safe place to sleep.” Gird smiled at her for a moment before moving to the outskirts of the small clearing. He was making sure he could remember how to get back here while he rubbed some dirt over him.

From the weakest goblin to the Strongest god

Goblin Gird

after the kill with Luz /// Morning // Day 3

Finally, the dam rabbit gave up, the final blow to its leg seemed to have put it out of commission. Gird was able to lift it up without too much resistance holding its back legs together with one hand. The goblin stared at the rabbit for a moment as the pain in the right side of his chest started again. He would have to be more careful next time, he just hoped the risk was worth the reward.

A slight wiggle in his hand brought him back from his thoughts. The bunny still had a little fight left in him but that was quickly dashed away when Goblin Gird let his anger get the best of him and slammed the rabbits head against the tree. The rabbit’s muscles tensed, a small squeak was heard and then slowly its body went limp. His anger would also be something to work on but for now his hunger was all he cared about.

Ripping into the fur at the rabbits neck with his fingers, Gird found it to be quite easy to pull the fur off the still warm rabbit. Successfully pulling the skin off the bunny he paused before going further looking toward his partner. “So that was intense. Good job though” he paused for a moment and smiled, “so your choice, you want the fur or the horn? Cuse we are splitting the meat.” Again he smiled, “we should check its home for anything useful as well.”
