AND POSTED! Sorry about the delay, life tends to be annoying about every little thing. My work schedule is decent he next few days so I should be able to post pretty reliably until the weekend. Then it gets odd again. But I might still be able to post.

Before getting into too many details with how to handle their situation Ysran mentioned being able to go into town. She liked that idea, and having possible connections would make things easier overall. "We should get going soon, that way we;ll have time to get back to camp before nightfall. I don't like the idea of being outside for that long. Especially when sight is an issue." She was a good fighter, but fighting blind was something that wasn't pleasant for anyone.

At some point during the conversation Caractacus came over to Kathryn to strike up a conversation. Calling her Miss Katheryn? "We can talk yeah, but please don't call em miss. Makes me sound like a maid or something. Or worse, a desk worker..." She followed the socially awkward man to a part of the camp that was more isolated area from the rest of the group. Something was odd. Though Caractacus seemed more nervous them usual. "What's going on? Is someone watching us? IS there a disturbance in your powers that we can't feel?" Kathryn didn't know a lot on magic. For the most part she was able to beat and talk her way out of all of her problems.

Then he started to explain the situation. He was talking about one of their party members coming back the night before covered in blood. Maybe fresh? This made Kathryn uneasy. Kathryn was having trouble placing a name. She had this issue a lot, mostly out of her own denial. "He doesn't seem like a traditional Hunter. Nor does he have any meat here in camp other then fish. That being said that is very odd. And to not say anything makes it worse." Caractacus soon started to apologize for the events that had happened the night before. Mentioning about the lake, and saying that it was still better to have friends and allies then not. "Look, we're good. You and I. Alright? Stuff happens." She looked over to the strange man again. "Now is definitely a good time to have allies. Maybe more then ever. So yes, I could use your help. We need to figure out what happened last night while we were dealing with the lake people and afterwards." She was now nervous again.

They had a more or less safe camp, but if a possible enemy knew where it was and how to find it then there would be problems. "We'll need to talk about this more. But not here. I am not sure who to trust yet. Right now I think you are the only one I can for now. Let's talk more once we get to town alright? That way we can get some space and decide who we can and can't trust with this information. I don't want to find out that everyone here works for the Darklord and get stabbed int he back." She would wait for his response before doing much else.

Before much else could be done, there was an explosion in the distance, a big one. She couldn't even imagine what it was that could have caused it. Part of her didn't want to know. Maybe it was something to do with the raiding party? Or maybe it had nothing to do with their conflict at all. Maybe it was an accident? She would wait for others to respond before making her own choice. She wasn't familiar with the area at all.

I am hoping to get a post up soon, recent events have gotten in the way sadly. My schedule either lets me post like 5 times a day or once a few days... Hopefully I can tomorrow.

So... I know I was supposed to get a post up tonight... and I had set time aside for it. Tonight was... Not sure how to describe it. But for personal reasons I will have to push my posting back a bit. Sorry about the delay. My posting comes in like awkward bursts and then dead moments. Tomorrow and the day after I have awkward shifts but I will see what I can do about getting a post up.

Feel free to react to the artillery fire in the distance.

@Aquanthe

I saw this after I posted, but that is definitely something that Kathryn would react to in a... Mixed feelings from sound alone.

How far away is the blasting supposed to be so we have an idea?

Mornings were not Kathryn's thing. In training they attempted to force that for her. All it did was give her more marks against her overall ranking up process. With that, she had nightmares again. They weren't too bad, but she had a lot on her mind already. She mistook Elyria as someone who used to be close to her, she passed out in six inches of water out of pure fear, and her attempts to make friends failed again. "welp... up now." She grunted as she stood up. Her clothes were still roughed up from getting soaked and being unable to dry properly. She had nothing else to wear unless she wanted to wear only her armor. Not something she was up for doing.

Her Armor was in a pile not far from the pile of sand she slept in. She felt exposed without it. Vulnerable. Weak. Once she was more or less awake she put on the bare minimum for it. Chest plate, and a few bits to protect part of her arms and legs. No chainmail yet, or the extra bits. But the basics, her knife, and her mace. She felt safe enough like this. Now that she was ready for more basic things she walked over to Alberich. He seemed to be organizing the morning events. "What's the plan for today? Are e making plans to find a town or something? I could use some supplies personally" Mostly it was the clothes. She had one outfit due to her situation with her last group of freedom fighters. She had a dark thought of how long it would be before everyone here was dead as well. Sure someday they may defeat the Dark Lord. But how many of them... or of all of them would see it? If any at all. Would she? Or would she be another nameless face lost to history?

She needed to think of something new. Her thoughts were starting to go places she wasn't a fan of. "We may also want to consider how we are going to handle our situation against the Dark Lord. We could attempt to raise a new army and hope they don't get decimated on out way to the final fight. Or we could come up with a more tactical plan for smaller units. It really depends on what we can gather. Or who." She tried to say calmly. But she did worry. Even an army of Hundreds could only go so far before supplies ran out. Or before they took too many casualties to keep fighting.

Alrighty! I am writing a post now, and I should be able to get one up pretty fast. Sorry for not following much on Discord, by the time I get out of work a lot has happened and my time at night is limited. Even more so when I get an afternoon shift.

Book of Aeos (V1)

I've had a long day, and my work schedule for the next couple days is going to be odd. I may not get a post up for a bit. Sorry about my timing.

Having just read the IC: Caractacus is gonna die alone.

@dereken

Why Would you say that? :3
