Scout

Far From Home

Fitch raised an eyebrow as Kenshin's voice approached them and he began to ramble. He covered his mouth as he smiled and Yari just nudged him and gave him a stern look, turning to Kenshin. "It's okay, Kenshii," She said, having quickly adopted the petname for him, mostly to tease him. "Fitch and Suto did the same thing without telling the rest of us... We know you like to push yourself, just be careful," She commanded sternly, resisting the urge to smile. The girl huffed, thinking, before Fitch stepped into the conversation.

"Orcskin is a basic material for the very earliest of gloves... You probably remember we got some on the second floor, near the middle of the floor, but it was a bit rarer back then. I'm positive that that's just a basic tier, though, because there are orcs on slightly higher floors that drop things like 'orchide' - which is just a little bit better, to be honest, but it is different - and orcscales, which one might think are scales off of the orc, but they're pieces of scale armour made out of this... orc metal stuff... It's a pretty good metal - it makes some of the weapons and armour with a really high durability; however, it's not very keen on strength. It's heavy and... Yeah, I'm rambling, sorry. The scrapmetal only for selling, as far as the beta testers found... and plain stone is a cheap thrown weapon. Pretty good idea to hold onto - they stack and you can use them to get the aggro on a mob by dealing the first hit if you just throw them. They're a basic, though pretty heavy, thrown weapon. Really weak, but more of a tool than damage-dealer," he explained without much hesitation. Yari looked at him, perplexed, it was like he was a walking database of items on these early floors. He knew more about the items than the descriptions might provide and he didn't even have to rack his brain.

She merely laughed and shook her head, "Guess that's that, then huh? Keep your money, Kenshin. These two are going to - we all make our fair share. We don't need to do the math to split it all, if anybody needs something, then we'll figure out funding," The girl chirped, She then turned to see the tower in the distance, a small flicker of adventure alight on her face. To others, it was daunting and part of the trap of the game, but she couldn't help that sense of curiosity. With that thought, she stood up, clapped her hands together and nodded, "Alright, let's gear up and go, okay, guys? I know you three just got back, but we already agreed to go out today, all together, so come on, you're not getting any more of a break. You'll be fine until tonight, anyway," She said firmly, placing a hand on her hip and opening her window. Different parts of her body flashed as light metal equipment began to appear over her topped by a basic double-ended spear of a brilliant silvery steel followed finally by a similar tiara with a bright blue gem in the middle. She didn't like how flashy it was, but it gave her a small DEX boost and she didn't want to give that up until something better came.

"The field boss is bound to be attacked tomorrow, I'm pretty sure the meeting is tonight, if you guys are interested. Apart from that, we've got the jungle for the rest of the day with whatever hunting parties are out, so where do you guys want to start?"

Of Deceptive Intentions

This thread is a continuation of the original Of Deceptive Intentions, wiped by the move to the new site. But it's all good, we're back and better than ever!! Without further adieu, I'll give you a small rundown of what you've missed.

To any who are not familiar with out roleplay here, it features anthropomorphic characters, so if that makes you uncomfortable, please read no farther.

Of Deceptive Intentions

Lykos Shar, a colonel and powerful sorcerer in the Army of Tunay'ruk, had a small regiment of men under his sole command. The countries of Tunay'ruk and Riverslade, separated by a small nation of Gaira. However, as the undiscovered territory to the East was in the process of exploration by the two nations, war broke out at the dividing line, both Riverslade and Tunay'ruk wanting every millimeter of land they could win. Ciscera, a white tigress from Riverslade, marched on Shar's regiment, killing or capturing all of his soldiers. Riverslade, being highly anti-magic, writes off the practice as dishonourable and kills the two magicians under Shar's command and captures him after he challenged Ciscera to a head-to-head battle. While the brawl was fairly even, Shar finally came out on top. However, just when he was sure to win, something turned the tide of the fight between the two... As Shar was to take his victory over the killer of his uncle and his direct enemy, both were transported somewhere strange...

On a celestial plane, the two wandered with naught but basic clothing as Ciscera claimed that Shar was using trickery and creating illusions. They were faced with mysterious beings who showed them a display of what they were told was their world, many years ago. The warning was that history was to repeat itself. The land they were conquering was once plentiful and peaceful; a uptopia, truly. A world without war or famine, without loss or death. However, in mountains to the far East, a mining operation dug far more deeply than they'd ever gone before. A great beast awakened... Creatures of all shapes and sizes burst forth alongside the behemoth, terrorizing... destroying everything in its wake. The world was wiped clean... As though being reset. However, soon, there would be a victor in the war for the East and an extremely quick expansion. The beings did not merely predict, they prophesied that it would happen again. Not to the utopia of a world in the past, but with the extremely fast expansion, they would soon find and take from the mountain. It would return and bring terror and darkness to the world once more.

After returning to the fight, Shar and Ciscera were in the same place they had been when leaving, but in their surprise, Ciscera overtook the colonel and claimed that the prophecy was false claims and a sorcerer's trick. The remainder of the soldiers were taken to Riverslade's capital and locked away. During the trip, we found that Lykos has the ability to walk between dreams; He has such control over his mind that he can not only create his own, but travel to another's and alter it. It was because of this, he discovered that Ciscera had inconspicuously murdered one of her officers in his sleep due to his talk of possible mutiny. Back in the capital, Shar would be driven to the edge of his life before being forced into a torturous interrogation room with Ciscera. However, during the interrogation, more mystery pops up as Lykos appears possessed by a creature who again warns Ciscera of her pride and the danger of the future if the two did not come together. She is told that she was to be arrested and killed, as her identity had been stolen and replaced by an imposter. After she had taken victory over Shar, she had begun wearing his family's cloak; a very well-known heirloom. However, this was interpreted as defection by the one who charged her, whoever it was, and then revealed to be a type of conspiracy against her. The murder of her officer, however, was found to be truth, and the pair had to run. They fought their way up to a room, where Ciscera quickly dispatched two nobles of the castle and they used the room to rest. Or rather, Shar did, and they found food. After resting, Shar recovered and let Ciscera take a turn sleeping. He left the room to see if he could get some coin and returned for Ciscera, then the two left.

As they left, somebody recognized one of them, as Ciscera's appearance is very well known and white tigresses are quite rare. A dangerous scene ensued and Shar kciked up a massive smoke screen, then incapacited a few guards with magic, rendering him even weaker. The pair found the only location that would completely hide them, much to Lykos' dismay. It was a brothel. Ciscera and he shared a room but they had to choose a "slave" to stay with them. They chose a young girl named Iris Argyris, who was once the daughter of a chieftan in Gaira of a small, nomadic tribe. She was captured and her family slaughtered by her captors.

And that's all of it! Seems we're ready to start and first post shall be mine. ^_^

“Sir, we have visual,” A voice spoke quietly into the radio. Silence returned and sixty seconds passed. “Command, I repeat, we have visual. Do we advance?”

Greg cleared his throat and placed a hand on the other man’s shoulder, “Sarge. I think we need to get moving – we’ve got no signal out here, we either need to get to higher ground or you make the call.”

There was a sharp cut which followed, “I don’t believe I asked your advice, Staff Sergeant. Get back to your post,” The Sergeant Firce Class snapped before turning his gaze back to the sight on his rifle. The small squad of six had dug into the woods of the mountains and had eyes on a surprisingly extravagant house, waiting for nightfall to move in.

The Staff Sergeant looked to his brother skeptically and shook his head, lowering his voice as their squad leader called into his radio again, “I don’t like this, Tommy… Something’s wrong here…”

“What the fuck?!” Came another voice suddenly. This one lowered the binoculars from his face, “What the hell is that..?” He held out the equipment for their head, who snatched it up.

“Quiet down, corporal,” He said sharply, gazing into it, “What the hell are those things?”

The binoculars made it around to Greg who moved up and furrowed his brow. What he saw were the most grotesque things he’d ever seen. Their skins were of greens and their noses and ears were large and pointed. They were stouter than the average person, but they also carried things like axes and blunt boards… How many were there? A quick head count estimated about twenty and they were just running up the mountain at the house, expertly weaving through the trees of the mountain. Greg lowered the binoculars and passed them to Tom, bewildered.

“Sergeant, what do we do?” He asked, eyes wide as he adjusted his rifle to his shoulder, clicking it to automatic from semi-automatic.

“Nothing… Let’s see what happens…” He said before holding his radio again, “Command, this is Sergeant First Class Wellington, come in. We have eyes on… I don’t know what they are, but they’re not normal… Something is attacking the target, we need orders.”

Finally, a response came, “Wellington, you and your squad are going to be in the dark. Something’s happening here – we have no time. No evac is available, no time to explain, just get the fuck out of there.”

“Colonel Briggs, what the fuck is going on?”

“I said no time, sergeant. Get out of there, we can’t evac you either, the base is falling… This is the end. Godspeed, Delta Force... Do not engage – whatever it is you see, we don’t know what it is. GET OUT.” There was a loud whirling sound in the background as the transmission cut out. The man had thrown aside the radio as he reached the end of its cord and burst from the room he’d been in, headed for the only black hawk left, already powering up. He’d never make it – like he’d said: there was no time. There were shouts and screams, snarls and gunfire riddled in the background of the radio.

“Colonel? Briggs? What… What the fuck?!” Wellington tried vainly to get the device working again, but the fault was not on their end and it seemed they had lost all contact…

The whole squad looked to him for answers and he had none… Gunshots rang out across the mountain as the people in the house began to fight back. They didn’t last long.

I've been so worried, you guys <3

Anyway, Scout is reporting for duty!
