*Aerin is caught off guard by Leo's speed, and the resistance of his sword not cutting through, and gets punched in the jaw which breaks his Quen (sending a wave of energy out in every direction)*

*Woman (Grave Hag) dies*

*Yarl walks over and kicks the body over*
Ugly feind...
*draws a combat blade and takes the head off what remains of the things chest that's probbly pretty trashed*

*walks off with head to see if can be identified and walks back into room *

...

*Maria gets knocked over be energy and rolls after the initial shock*
Gah... *heads off to kitchen*

*Leo gets pushed back by the Quen breaking*

*Leo grins*

Leo: Please make this fun.

*Zoey finishes cleaning her armor, and stretches.*
*Looks over at Scatty and Aoife.*
Zoey: Er.. Do one of you want to spar?

*Scatty and Aoife exchange glances then shrug*
Aoife: Alright.
*Scatty smiles slightly, the tips of her fangs showing*
Scatty: If you think it's a good idea
*They both stand and start heading to the gym*

*Aerin stares at Leo as he holds his sword defensively across his chest*
A: Got a a name for what you are?

*Tala probs still eating or something, idgaf*

~

*Denny sits and eats*

*Yarl holds up the severed grave hag head with probbly a long spilled out toungue* (wiki ftw)

Anyone know what this thing is...
It was skulking out by the graves.

Mutant... Or somthibf worse?
Rest of its in pieces outside.
*pretty casual for holding a severed head*

*Leo flinches*

Leo: No...

*Leo growls and charges Aerin again*

*Aerin sighs as Leo charges again*
A: Not much for a bestiary entry.
*slashes out at Leo again, ineffectually*

*Leo tackles Aerin out a window*

*Aerin keeps fighting Leo, though he's mostly dodging cause silver ain't working*
*fight leads away from the room*

*Zoey frowns at Scatty.*
Zoey: Alright keep the weird smirk to yourself, and I figure you people have some form of practice swords or something.
*Looks down at the tiny Scatty.*
Zoey: Cause you look... delicate.

----
*Brunor keeps eating like mofo.*

---
*Jake eats next to Denny happily.*

*Yarl looks round for brunar as witchers tend to deal in mutants, freaks and monsters*

Bear... I could use information... And I have gold.
*keeps head handy in hand lol*

...

*Maria looks out seeing them fly out room*
Never a quiet day...

*Scatty raises her eyebrows*
Scatty: There's no point in sparring without some element of danger. It wouldn't feel... real. We can use dull blades if you want though
*Aoife looks back over her shoulder*
Aoife: 'Delicate' yes that's The Shadow alright.


*Gharn pauses on his way back from his run as he sees the fight*
Gharn: (What's this?)
*He watches closely, not yet wanting to intervene as he's not particularly invested in either combatant*

*Maria looks over at head Yarl carrying *
That's one ugly thing... Not getting ahead in life this one...

*Yarl nods*
Aye Maria.. Was skulking about.. Been about a day..
So approached found this ugly mug.

*shrugs*
Now just need to know what it is.

*Zoey rolls her eyes.*
Zoey: You don't have to be a arrogant little gaks, you know?
*She sighs, and keeps walking along.*

*Scatty shrugs, not really bothered by it but Aoife frowns*
*Aoife leads the way into the gym and hops into the ring*
Aoife: How are we doing this? Hand to hand? Weapons? What?

*Yarl gives up and takes a large nail and pins head onto wit her board with a note to contact him what it is. Gold offered in return*

*shrugs and signs it off with a name and the hall, *

Someone Il tell sme what this thing is...
Its too ugly keep...

*Denny stretches after eating, then looks over Jake*
D: Gym then shower?

~

*Kaiya explodes and dies in her mech out in the forest far far away*

OOC: Awww, poor Kaiya

Ooc goodbye google translate

Bic.*Maria makes self a drink watching window to see if Leo and the witcher tm return bemused by the random fight out of nowhere.*
*watching Forrest from kitchen*
....


*space wolf taking one of the wall patrols keeeps a better eye out for strange things skulking about*

...

*Yarl unfolds his map and uses information to plot the route thr village raiders may be taking took counting for carts need of a more stable road *

*Leo keeps swinging at Aerin*

Leo: Stop moving!

*Leo pulls a large branch off a tree and starts trying to hit Aerin with it*

Zoey: As I said, we should use practice swords... I am a spartan... I really don't want to kill one of you.
*She gets out of her armor, and stands in her body glove.*

---
*Jake nods.*
Jake: Alright, I may go to the range. Shoot some gak.
*Starts doing his dishes.*

*Scatty goes over to a wall of blades and picks up a longsword that she tosses to her twin then looks at Zoey*
Scatty: See anything you like?
*Gestures to the wall of dulled practice weapons*

*Aoife does a few practice swings getting the sword's weight and balance*
Aoife: If you managed to kill one of us... well then I'd be very surprised, not to disrespect the Spartans, but we've been fighting longer than your program has existed

*Aerin's eyes widen slightly at Leo ripping the branch of the tree, and rolls backwards to avoid it*
*legs get hit by the tree, and he reaches for a Northern Wind bomb while he's on the ground*
A: Why do you kill?

*Trolly smells the dead Grave Hag and dug up remains, and wanders onto the cemetery*
T: Witchy rock boom?

*Yarl heads back to hall leaving thr grave hags head and a note asking for information on the witchers board with a nail through it forehead *

*rather dead as its head nailed to a board lol*
*gold offered *

*dead grave hag took 3 bolter shells to back so probbly not too Intact and missing a head*
...

*Maria goes off to bed*

Ooc night. Too tired.

*Leo grits her teeth*

Leo: I need to kill to survive... I need to eat people. Don't know why, still working on that part...

*She swings at Aerin again*

*Zoey grabs two long swords, and nods.*
Zoey: These will do.
*Zoey rolls her eyes again, and facepalms.*
Zoey: Jesus Christ... Sure I'm impressed, you guys are badass... couldn't even dent a hunter but sure.

*Aerin casts Aard at Leo, which would either send the branch out of her grip or snap it*
A: Ate the wrong person, then. Whole town wants you dead. Big bounty, too.

*Trolly picks up the Hag and sniffs it before dropping it*
T: Bad smell. Humanses good.
*picks up the remains of one of the dug up PDF and bites down on that instead*

*Scatty and Aoife both somber up at the mention of the hunter*
Aoife:... Point taken.
Scatty: We've faced nightmares Zoey, nightmares that would make most humani cower... but I'm not going to pretend we're invincible... Those hunters, those were our counter. We're really not good at countering armor and firearms that powerful...
*Stands ready then when Zoey is attacks with blinding speed and swiftness*
*Scatty watches*


OOC: Be back in a hour

*The branch snaps and the swing misses*

*She growls and drops what remains of the branch*

*She starts walking towards Aerin and makes a ball of fire in her hands*

Leo: Then I guess they are going to be disappointed.

*Aerin finally regains his footing and shakes his head*
A: Doubtful.
*throws the Northern Wind bomb at Leo and immediately dive rolls backwards*

*Leo gets hit by the bomb and freezes in place*

*She ain't happy being frozen*

*Aerin smirks at Leo*
A: Can't take your head yet. Don't want it to shatter.
*quickly closes the gap between himself and Leo, and swings his sword at her right thigh*
A: But I can have fun in the meantime.

*Zoey engages Aoife.*
Zoey: Well live and learn.
*Seems to be utterly calm during the engagement.*

*AOIFE's face is placid as she slashes, cuts and weaves around Zoey's blows, choosing to evade or deflect instead of block the stronger woman's attacks*
*She also keeps up her own assault of fast attacks*

*Scatty watches from a elevated position on one of the exercise machines*



*Gharn leaves Leo and Aerin to fight and heads inside*

*Leo's leg shatters and she falls to floor*

*She starts to heat up and her arms start to lift herself off the ground*

*Leo is defrosting*

*Aerin lashes out at Leo's head with his boot while growling*
A: Give up. It'll make it quicker for you.

*Zoey keeps her calm expression as she parries, and strikes.*
*Also remains quiet as she does this.*

*Red flaming wings burst from Leo's back and one intercepts Aerin's boot*

*Leo laughs quietly and looks at her missing leg*

*The wing that intercepted the boot flicks up (possibly) throwing Aerin on his ass*

*Aoife takes a few steps back and starts circling*
Aoife: You're good... Very good.
*She gives Zoey a approving look as she keeps her guard up*

*Denny nods, and starts helping Jake clean the dishes*
D: Wanna do something?

*Aerin's eyes widen and he gets flipped*
*starts crawling away from Leo, while cursing*

*Zoey simply shrugs, and keeps attacking and parrying.*

---
*Jake shrugs.*
Jake: Shooting range was my plan, but if you have something else in mind I am all ears.

*Leo's wings shift into a crystal shard like form and she fires one of the shards into Aerin's leg*

*She stands using one of her wings to help her walk*

*Shard impales Aerin's leg and he grimaces*
A: What else you got?

Leo: I actually don't know.

*Leo walks up behind Aerin and grabs his impaled leg*

Leo: Now. I need to repay you for the leg. I hope you don't mind.

*Leo bites into Aerin's calf*

*Gharn is sitting with Dria in the lounge happily watching a movie together*


*Aoife keeps a'fighting expertly, her face placid except for a slight furrowing of her eyebrows*
*She keeps swapping fighting styles around from European to Japanese to Chinese to styles older than those countries*

*Freya finally reappears and walks out of her room in full armor*
*walks into the living room and sits down on a couch*

*Dria smiles and waves to Freya*


*Mergoux doesn't look up from where she's sitting reading a old leather bound book*

*Aerin grunts as his leg is bit, and he kicks at Leo with his other leg*
*Black Blood makes Aerin's blood highly toxic*

*Freya waves back at Dria cheerfully*
*begins nibbling on a piece of jerky from her pack*

*Leo rips a chunk of his leg off and mostly ignores the kicking*

*She starts coughing and spluttering from the toxic black blood*

Leo: What *cough* the feth!

*Leo's wings twitch as she convulses*

*Aerin looks down at his leg and hisses*
A: Come back for you.
*casts Quen, and turns and make a break for the woods*

*Dria smiles*
Dria: I haven't seen you around recently!
*Gharn glances over at Freya then goes back to watching the film*


*Mergoux doesn't look up from her book*


*Cal walks into the lounge and sees Mergoux*
Cal: There you are! What did you think you were doing!? Discharging yourself with your ribs in shards!
*Mergoux looks over*
Mergoux: I don't want to spend any time in there. I don't like hospitals... besides, it's not like I'm straining myself. What's the difference between me resting here and me resting there?
*Cal glares but can't help but see her point*
Cal: I- That's not- I mean to say- Fine! Have it your way!
*Turns and storms off*

*Leo vomits up the piece of Aerin's leg then watches him leave*

*Can't talk because her mouth is burning*

*She goes to chase him but looks at her missing leg and decides against it*

*Freya smiles*
I've been a bit busy lately. I finally met my biological father, then I had to return to my comrades to deal with the fallout of our order being sub sumed into the Blackstone Legion.
*face darkens at that*
Let's just say I've left them behind. I'm a Warden now, for better or worse

*Dria smiles*
Dria: Good for you on meeting your father! I.. I can't imagine what it'd be like growing up without a mother or father
*She nods*
Dria: A Warden? Like a Prison type Warden?

*Aerin drinks some Swallow while heading towards the room, and sighs in relief*
A: Still hate Black Blood...

*Freya shakes her head*
No no no. The Wardens are a group of Knights dedicated to the protection of our people. While others fight for glory, for honor, or for wealth and power, Wardens fight to preserve our people. We live by a strict code of honor, an oath we do not take lightly.
*she yawns*
I'm beat, listen, if you want to know more come find me in the morning.
*walks off*

*Denny shrugs*
D: Neh, idgaf. Anything really.

*Leo looks at her kagune(wings)*

Leo: What the hell am I?

*She shuffles over to a tree and props herself up*

*Her wings go from crystal shards to dark red flames*

Leo: Hmmm...

*Aoife eventually comes to a draw with Zoey and bows to her opponent*
*Scatty smiles as Aoife yawns*
Scatty: Bedtime?
Aoife: Yeah... You're one of the best Humani I've faced Zoey, good job
*She gives Zoey a rare smile and then heads off to bed*


*Gharn and Dria go to bed*


*Mergoux sleeps on a sofa again*

*marilania heads out side room and waves cheerfully having had a rather good morning*
Good morning...

*checks a notice board drinking a pun laden mug related to a Princess*
Hey.. Anyone check the local map... Yarls marked off another raided village... *reads the little high gothic anotations*
Yeah... Village. People gone... The loot taken to the west. Attacker unknown.

*looks over at merg*
*quietly to self* we have bedrooms you know...

*Leo climbs a tree after examining her Kagune for a while*

*She sits there and looks at her missing leg*

Leo: (That's going to be a problem...)

*marilania goes off for a swim as I'm busy now *

*swimmy swim swim*

OOC: Wow this place has gotten more elaborate since the last time I was here.

*A small dog wearing a hoodie walks out of the nether realm*
What in Dog's name is happening here...

*Aerin heads to his room to finish patching himself up*

*Kara stands at one edge of a circular room (like a colosseum), a sword held in her arms. Her face shows little to no emotion*
*At the other end is a Hurlock mage, flashing its teeth at Kara in a snarling grin*

*Freya walks into the gym and begins practicing longsword drills in utter silence*

*Zoey bows back.*
Zoey: Thanks for the spar match.
*She then goes to the kitchen.*

---
*Brunor finishes eating, and goes to the witcher board.*
*Looks at the severed head of the grave hag, and frowns.*
Brunor: Strange... that's a grave hag.

---
*Jake nods.*
Jake: Shooting range it is.
*Leads Denny to the shooting range, and starts firing at targets.*

*Yarl walks out and wanders out*
Hey ... Agh bear...

You know what that thing I killed lurking by graves is?
Strange sulking feind ...

Bolter shells work...

...
*marilania walks out with a unzipped track top over bikini top and skirt drying off hair*
Hey folks.... Pools nice today.
*heads off to kitchen to make a snack*

*Mergoux sleeps still on the sofa*


*Morgan and his mother walk to the kitchen*
*Both smile and wave to Maril*
Morri: Morning.
*Both get some breakfast before Morri goes off somewhere and Morgan goes to the workshop*


*Horus, at Iris's request begins packing for a trip to Reinhardt's*

*marilania smiles and waves over*
Morning. Hello.. And goodbye...
*laughs slightly and sings along to radio in kitchen cooking up some pancakes*

*Leo's eyes slowly open and she looks at her leg (stump)*

*Her eyes widen as it is healed far more then she thought it would be*

*She frowns when she notices that she is slightly hungry then jumps down from the tree and hobbles towards the room*

*marilania carries on singing along to radio in kitchen cooking up pancakes*
*start's making a spare plate for Morgan as feeling kind*

...

*Yarl waits for brunar reply near board curious what kind of creature it is*

*thinking about raided village wondering if one of mpre*

*Mergoux sits up and stretches on the sofa then goes to the kitchen for a bite to eat*
*She tests her ribs and still winces as she bends over to touch her toes*
Mergoux: Blast...


*Morgan is repairing Mergoux's armor*


*Quetz hurtles past the lounge in a blur and bursts out of the room and into the sky*
*He doesn't spot Leo as he lets out a roar and twists through the air, his scales a bright yellow*

*Leo watches Quetz shoot into the sky*

Leo: (I wonder whats got into him...)

*Leo leans on the doorway to the room and keeps an eye on Quetz*

*marilania sees Quetzalcoatl hurtle by*
Whoah... He in a hurry.. (or woke up after a long sleep and needed a piss... ) *laughs to self internaly)

*looks over to merg playing up a second plate after finishing hers*
You know we have rooms here. No need to sleep on sofa.
Its hell on ya back.

*marilania runs over to help leo*
Excuse me .. *to merg*
Leo! Jeez.
*helps take weight on one side*
Come on.. Il help you to a chair...

*Mergoux looks over*
Mergoux: Alright, I'll take one. How much?


*Quetz settles down eventually and lands outside the room*
Quetz: Ahhh... That was a nice nap. Needed to stretch...

*marilania shouts over as helping leo*
There free...

No charge for a room. No charge for food.

*Denny keeps shooting with Jake*
*Is much better at shooting now*

~

*Tala is off eating still or something*

~

*Amy is probs doing some gak*

~

*Maiev is getting tortured*

~

*Elise is looking for Daveth*
*Trying to sniff him out via perverted thoughts*

Leo: Do you by chance know where I could get a wheelchair?

*Leo rubs the back of her neck and smiles at Maril*

*Marinlaia*
Il call Maria... We get you ... Rolling anyway.
*quickly calls up Maria who relies with a obvious "only Leo could"

*Maria brings over a wheel chair and helps her down with Marlin*
*maria*
Leo... Seriously you have the worst luck. ..
Like how did you not bleed out.

*marinalia*
Gotta drop off some breakfast. Repay a old favour.
*collects a plate and knocks on workshop door dressed as before* *cannot be bothered to do up track top and comfey after swim*
Hey Morgan... Brought you some breakfast...
You ran by without as much a coffee.

*Freya is still training in the gym*
*she slowly starts getting angrier as the workout goes on as she thinks about the Blackstone Legion*
*with a cry of rage she violently decapitates the training dummy and stands there breathing heavily*

*Leo sits on the seat then looks up at Maria*

Leo: Guess I'm just to stubborn.

*Leo looks away as she has thoughts of food*

Leo: T-thank you Maria. I'll see you around.

*Leo wheels herself into the lounge and starts thinking*

*Maria looks concerned *
But you lost a leg Leo...

I can,t let you wheel about untreated...
That would be downright negligent.
Least let me bandage it it cleanly or somthibf...

*Quetz floats back in lazily and goes towards the lounge*


*Morgan opens the door with pair of welding goggles that make him look bug-eyed with his clothes and face covered in soot*
Morgan: What? Oh! Thank you!
*Smiles slightly and wipes his hands on a cloth before taking the tray*

Small pupper: There is way too much happening in this room... there's a knight, a dude working on armor and some Aztec wind god flying around...

*marinalia smiles *
Your a friend... And while you at it...
*unclasps a small silver necklace with 3 moons and places on tray*
The clasp has a sharp bit... Cam you like smooth it out... Rather annoying, and its sentimental.. So not wanna damage it doing myself.
I got money...

...

*Yarl looks over at puppet and looks down as to space wolf rather small*
That's a pretty normal day... It gets stranger...

*Morgan nods and examines the necklace*
Morgan: Yeah I can do, that. Don't worry about the money though, it's all good.
*Smiles and vanishes back into the workshop*


*Mergoux looks at the pupper*
Mergoux: A talking dog. Now I've seen everything


*Scatty looks over at Freya from where she's doing acrobatics in the gym*
Scatty: Freya? You alright?


OOC: Mergoux is a normal looking woman with long black hair except she wears a helmet that cover most of her face at all times. She speaks with a nordic accent

*marilania*
Thankyou. If I'm not about Il be at pool or on Marias ship. Suite 2 . Just pop by... I don,t bite.
*laughs and heads back to main room*
Night folks... *necklace is probbly pretty soft as in decent silver content, easy to file and work. Also easy to damage*

*teleports up and goes to bed with victor*

...
*yarl waits by board npc style. *
*asks about grave hag etc. Learns about it. Hands over gold and also points to the raided village and bodies about as a potential spot to find more if explain about them liking bodies for feeding*

...

*Maria heads off to bed and npc helps Leo if needed*
*goes to bed*

Ooc night.

Small pupper: I am not just a small talking dog, but one that knows how to roll over.

*Demostrates ability*

Small Pupper: You could say I'm something of a professional.

*Mergoux stares at the dog*
Mergoux: I think talking is more impressive than rolling over. You have a name?

*Aerin is off gathering herbs*

*Daveth is chained up in the cave still, malnourished and bruised up kinda bad*

*Kara stands over the cut up remains of the mage and tilts her head up to the ceiling*
Well done, Herald.

*Small pupper looks at Merg*

Small pupper: The ones who grant pets have graciously awarded me the title of "Cubbie." Probably because I can roll over.

*Mergoux nods*
Mergoux: All right then... I'm Mergoux.
*Kneels down and goes to pet Cubbie*
Mergoux: Where'd you come from?



*Morgan keeps on fixing Mergoux's armor in he workshop*

*Leo looks around and bites her lip*

Leo: (Dammit... I'm getting hungry...)

*Leo wheels herself out into the main room*

*Quetz lies in the main room but looks over at Leo, looking both concerned over her missing leg and slightly relieved she's no longer a dragon*
Quetz: Leo? What has happened while I slumbered!?

*victor teleports down and sees a large Tecnicolour dragon, Leo with one leg and a dog seeming to talk*

*rubs eyes*
Did Mali spike my coffee this morning?

*looks round and blinks*

*Quetz cocks his head at Victor*
Quetz: Who are you?

*victor*
Victor Globus... I'm a close friend of Marilania from schola.
We where in same ... Well squad and team.

She invited me to this crazy place.

*Quetz nods slowly*
Quetz: I am Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent
*Turns back towards Leo*


*Mergoux pets the pupper's head then walks out to the main room and freezes when she sees Quetz*
*Her mouth drops open as she stares up at the massive Dragon*

Hello then Quetzalcoatl.

*victor looks over to merg*

I had same reaction to this morning.
Thought someone had drugged my coffee!

Still not entirely sure that's a no on that....

*Mergoux backs away slowly, then turns and quickly strides to the workshop*


*Quetz frowns*
Quetz: Who was that? How much have I missed?!

*victor*
Well I ain't best to ask... Lemme get someone who is.
*plays on phone and messages people*

*Maria steps out her repressor*
Quetz ... Hey morning. Umm you missed quite abit, *explains including Amy going missing, Leo coming back as a human and not sure why, blue, a new Spartan, gharn and others*

*marilania teleports down and smiles hugging them both*
Hey quetz. Morning.. Quite the nap, I thought I could sleep in *laughs* Oh yeah, rather trusted freind, and more. .
*gestures to victor*

*Quetz looks saddened over Amy and other developments*
Quetz: I see...
*He smiles weakly at Maril*
Quetz: Oh this was rather short. I remember a good sleep I had that lasted a few centuries


*Morgan races from the workshop and grinning, hugs Quetz who looks surprised*
Quetz: What are you- Oh! Morgan!
*He smiles happily and hugs back*

*maria*
There's Benn happier news too.
*explains some of the happier events. *

*marilania*
Aye. Its not all bad.
We also found new folks and such, and old friends.

Few centuries... Ok that's a rather excellent sleep. If your .. I don t even know how old you are!
*holds hands with victor and be,s reasiring in presence of a giant dragon *

Oh..

*victor*
Aye. Not all bad. Everyone seems to mention the negatives first...

*Quetz smiles at Morgan*
Quetz: Where is your sister?
Morgan: Not sure, but I'm sure she'll be glad to see you up again!
*Quetz chuckles good-naturedly at Maril*
Quetz: I cannot fully remember myself. Nearest I could round off would be 345,500


*Morgan stays and chats with folks for a while with Quetz before going to bed*


*Mergoux never got a key so she sleeps on the sofas again*


*After talking with folks Quetz goes for a long flight*

*marilania*
Aye.. But ya still young at heart.

*maria*
See ya big guy.
Victor, your coming with me and marlil for breakfast..
*smiles*

*victor*
If you insist. Company's good.
*marilania smiles and all head off to hall for breakfast*

*marilania leaves a key and a note where merg can see it remembering last night*

*Leo looked at Quetz and sighs*

*Leo watches him leave and wheels herself out of the room*

*Marla walks out her repressor holding a box of rbish and chucks it down a chute'

*notices Leo and does a double take*
Hey Leo....

What the .... *blinks to make sure* what happened?
You seen a doctor at all?

*Leo looks up at Marla and shakes her head*

Leo: No. But the leg is alright. It's even healing up.

*Leo looks at the stump*

Leo: But it's making me really hungry...

*marla*
That's.... That should not happen this quick...

Maria told me... Food...
There's vat grown options... Nothing needs to be hurt, it can even look like regular food for discretion...

Not exactly gonna advertise things...

*Leo sinks*

Leo: Ah... Well... I'm still trying to find out what is wrong with me... But for now. I gotta vacate the room... When I get hungry. I get a little, unstable and dangerous...

*Leo wheels herself towards the forest*

Leo: I'll be back later...

*marla nods*

stay safe out there...
*sighs*

im not going to ask what you going to do... id not like it,,,

*Leo looks back at Marla*

Leo: It's not my safety you should be worried about...

*Leo wheels off into the forest*

*marla watches her wheel off into the tree line*

aye... but still.

*heads inside and jogs off to join Maria, marilania nad Victor at the hall for breakfast*

*Aerin walks into the room and looks around*
A: Empty.
*heads to the kitchen for some food*

*Zoey sits on the couch bored.*
*Drinks her protein drink silently.*

---
*Brunor nods to the Yarl.*
Brunor: Glad to help.
*Returns to the kitchen, and frowns at Aerin.*
Brunor: Where have you been?

---
*Jake keeps shooting at the firing range with Denny.*

*Aerin shrugs*
A: Got another contract, some girl has been eating people. Don't know what she is, exactly.

*Yarl points to a village on a map*

The place there was raided. Still exposed bodies.
I'm thinking if your right about grave hags, they might be higher than average odds of another of those feinds.
*going off description *

Bring a head. Il pay gold if it helps.
Firnds deserve a bounty. And we not want those about....

*heads off to hall*

*Brunor nods to the Yarl before leaving.*
Brunor: Sure, I'll check it out.. Maybe the cat will go.
*He then turns to Aerin.*
Aerin: Another monster? ... Let me go with you, I'd like to look into this. Also just got a contract for a possible grave hag.

*Aerin nods and smirks*
A: The village idiot wasn't smart with his words. "Whatever you want", that's my payment. And a grave hag? Surprised it took so long for a monster to show up, with that big of a cemetery.

*Trolly is still chilling in the cemetery when a pack of ghouls (quadrupedal, and vaguely have human features) approach, but keep their distance from Trolly*

*Brunor shrugs.*
Brunor: Well that was dumb... Overall I want to see this new monster. The grave hag was expected... More necrophages will be here soon.

*Quetz floats after Leo slowly*


*The raided village's Elders are looking for someone to try and deal with the bandits*
*Word is sent out by one family about the woman who rescued their daughter*


*Mergoux comes out of the workshop and looks around for Quetz then goes to the kitchen*

*Marla wanders out *
Hey..*waves over to merg and grabs a snack before warming in microwave*

Seen quetz about?

*Mergoux frowns*
Mergoux: Who?
*Digging into a roast chicken with almost Gharn-esque enthusiasm*

*Aerin nods*
A: She's dangerous, silver doesn't bother her, from what I saw. Had to use Northern Wind and Black Blood.

*marla*
Umm big guy... Dragon like... Floats often.
Brightly coloured.

Hard to miss if you ever saw him.

*nibbles on a snack slightly less agressively*

*Mergoux stops eating and looks over*
Mergoux:... Oh... yeah I saw him... You're friends with a Dragon? How is that possible?

*marla*
Yeah.. .. He a good guy. He a elder technicaly.... Just takes dragon form...

And a great cook... His cookies are just legendary.
He a good egg.

*Mergoux doesn't agree but shrugs*
Mergoux: Alright... if you say so.
*Eats then goes for a walk*

*marla*
We do say so.

*goes off and sota down with a snack later joined by Maria, marilania and victor*

*Brunor nods.*
Brunor: Interesting... Well I'll look into it. You do anything else?

*Leo is wheeling through the forest when she catches the scent of dead bodies*

*She then heads in that direction*

*Aerin shakes his head*
A: Nothing really. What about you? Has the Bear done anything of note?

*Brunor shakes his head as well.*
Brunor: Not really.
*Keeps what he's been doing the last couple days to himself.*
Brunor: Just got this contract.

*Denny eventually finishes shooting, and stretches*
D: Well. That was the opposite of fun. You wanna eat?

~

*Tala doing stuff or something cause Cat + Bear bonding time is special*

~

*Elise still looking for Daveth*

*Aerin nods*
A: What about your friend? Tala, I think you call her.

*all mine go to bed as I got up too early this morning*

*marilania and victor wave. Teleport to ship n cuddle n sleep. *

*maria goes to med bay and does doctor stuff*

*Marla goes off to bed*

*Brunor glares at Aerin.*
Brunor: She is doing well.. why do you ask?

---
*Jake nods.*
Jake: I could eat. You wanna go out?
*He shrugs.*
Jake: Go somewhere or something?

---
*A giant fething ship enters orbit.*

*Aerin shrugs*
A: Just curious, haven't seen her in awhile. No reason to get defensive, Bear. Not like I'm out to kill her or anything.

*Leo rolls up on some of the dead bodies from the raided town*

*Leo the gets off the wheel chair and crawls over to one of the corpses*

*Leo hesitantly starts eating*

Brunor: She's very... free spirited... I'm sure she is sleeping, or eating.
*Low key hopes Tala isn't eating a human.*
Brunor: Let's... go find this girl.

*Aerin nods*
A: Alright. Last I saw of her, she was in the forest without a leg. Couldn't have gotten far, depending on how strong her wings were.

*Quetz had stopped floating after Leo and instead just sits outside thinking*


*Several village people are cowering in the woods from the dragon (Quetz)*


*Mergoux finds the gym and starts using weights*

Brunor: Alright, do you have her scent?
*Starts reviewing his gear.*
Brunor: I should be ready.

*Leo continues eating while also using her aura to speed up the healing process*

*After she's eaten around 4 bodies she stops and looks down at herself*

*He thigh is fully healed and the top her calf is starting to form*

*Aerin nods*
A: I made more Black Blood, too. Hate that I have to use it.
*shrugs and smells the air for Leo*
A: This way. Scent is getting old.
*follows after Leo's scent*

*Quetz is lying on the front lawn, his scales a worried looking blue*
Quetz: (I do wonder what's happened with Leo to make her like this... I shall have to speak with her when she returns...)



*Dria wakes to Morgan leaning in her doorway with a big ol' grin on his face*
Morgan: Hey sis. Grampa Quetz is awake!
*Dria grins and kicks Morgan out to get dressed*

*Denny shrugs*
D: Sure. Sounds like more fun than this.
*Lets Jake lead*

*Remus wakes up and watches Morgan and walks up behind him*

*Nudges him*

*Morgan turns to face Remus and smiles*
Morgan: Hey buddy! What've you been up to? I haven't seen you in a while
*Pets Remus's snout*

*Remus's tail wags as he is pet and he makes a happy sound*

*He lays down to get pet more*

*Brunor follows after Aerin, keeping his sword at the ready.*
Brunor: Black blood isn't too bad...
*Gets his black blood out, and drinks it.*
Brunor: So you think she is some kind of new vamp?

---
*Jake nods to Denny, and kisses her cheek.*
Jake: Let's go to one of the outlining villages, and get some dinner.
*He starts leading them towards one of said villages.*
Jake: Figure we'll be alright.

*Morgan grins and keeps petting*
Morgan: Missed me huh boy?
*Pets intensify*

*Leo crawls back to her wheel chair*

*She is only partly covered in blood*

*Remus's tongue flops out as he has hit pet overload*

*Dria runs out of her room but stops when she sees Remus, smiles and joins Morgan in pets*
Dria: Good boy! Where have you been huh?


*People still be cowering the treeline afraid of Quetz*


*Mergoux is still working out*


*Quetz is still sitting out in front of the room thinking and slowly dozing off*


*Horus and Iris depart for now*

*Aerin shrugs*
A: Not sure. Seemed content to eat all of a human, not just drinking blood. Could've just been starving too.
*stops when he sees Quetz*
A: What the feth.

*Remus gargles happily at all the pets and rolls over*

*Leo sits in her wheelchair thinking that maybe eating corpses would be a good idea for food*

Leo: (Corpses could work... I would still have to find the bodies before I get to hungry...)

*Dria pets Remus for a bit more before going to greet Quetz*


*Morgan keeps petting*
Morgan: Good boy...
*Smiles happily*

*Denny nods, and follows along*
D: If you jinxed it, I'ma not be the happiest Spartan.

*mmarla heads out after kissing milo, followed by fluffy who she grabs a large steak from kitchen*

Hey Morgan... Morgan morning
*throws fluffy a steak who tears into I rather enrhusasticaly*

*smiles *
Return Marlins necklace yet? She said it was in for repair.
Nice, but that's got a rather high silver content. Bit less durable.

*plays abit with the diamond fkeur de lis necklace I forgot she had that's ice blue*
Diamonds are a girls bestfriend.

*Morgan shakes his head*
Morgan: No, not yet. It's done but I've not seen her since I finished it, I'll give it to her when I see her though

*marla*

Normally easier way to get her if you call, she always has a phone handy. Or just visit the ship.
*texts*

*few minutes later marlania walks out a side door*
Hey... Morgan morning. Marla, just had to get dressed.


*fluffy still demolishing a large steak and a crunch of bone in thr joint*

*Morgan nods and pulls a small leather pouch from a pocket*
Morgan: Morning! I finished your necklace up. All smoothed out.
*Smiles and lies back against Remus*

*hugs Morgan and kisses him on cheek in a friendly way*
Thankyou!
I kinda felt strange not wearing it. Least my morning is turning around abit...

*pulls it out and smiles*
Mind if you can help?
*gestures to clasp at back of neck*

*marla smiles*
Handing it over in person gets you a better response.

*Morgan nods, slightly flustered*
Morgan: Uhhh... yeah, yeah sure thing.
*Helps her put on the necklace by fastening it*



*People outside eventually make camp a ways away while they wait for Quetz to leave*


*Quetz falls asleep*

*Remus has fallen asleep on his back*

*Aerin shrugs and keeps going, still following Leo's scent*
A: Wonder how far she got.

*marilania*
*adjusts it so it sits right*

*laughs*
Youl face down people, fight and take on monsters yet that phases you...

*marla*
*smiles in background playing with fluffy *
Ooc got to drop off car, be a few mins.

*Morgan shrugs awkwardly*
Morgan: Well uh.. yeah, kinda.


*Dria lies against Quetz's warm flanks and falls asleep*


*Mergoux finally learns where the keys are, snags one, leaves some gold and goes to sleep*

*marilnalia*
Kinda or yes... I'm going with yes.

You turned bright pink first time so... Improvement...
One day youl be used to me..

...

*space wolf taking over door watch smells smoke on air and mentaly notes it down, makes sure to keep a eye put just incase anything of note*

*just knows smoke not people*

....

*Marla takes fluffy out for a jog waving to Morgan and marinalia*

*Morgan shrugs*
Morgan: Maybe, maybe not.
*He smiles gives her a brief hug then yawns*
Morgan: I'm gonna get some rest, g'night Maril, Aunt Maria.
*Leaves and goes to bed as do I*

*marinlia waves and heads off to a large sunny window to sit and read*

*space wolves fill in for PDF when required on room security until they have chance to rebuild there numbers*

*keep a eye over main doors*

*Brunor keeps following Aerin.*
Brunor: Well.. this is on you.

--
*Jake smiles.*
Jake: I'm sure we'll be fine, don't worry about a thing.
*Wraps a arm around Denny.*
Jake: Lets go have fun.

*Leo looks around still sitting on the wheel chair*

*She looks at the blood on her shirt*

Leo: (I'm disgusting.)

*She rubs her eyes*

*marinalia relclines in a large sunny window reading watching the distant forests sway and in very far distence maybe smoke rose from a outer village miles away*

...

*space wolves keep on patrols*

*Marla and fluffy off jogging*

*Aerin sighs*
A: When she grew wings and started shooting crystals, I thought that a new approach would be best.

*Trolly is looking pretty happy with himself as he's sitting next to several ghoul corpses in the cemetery*
T: Ghoulses good fight.

*Denny watches Jake for a bit, then nods*
D: If you say so. Fun it is.

Brunor: That is... different.
*He shrugs.*
Brunor: We will deal with her.

---
*Jake nods back, and they approach a small village.*
Jake: Come on, this will be fun I assure you.
*Pulls her to one of the restaurants.*

*Gharn goes for a run*


*Dria sits in the lounge scribbling on a drawing pad with colored pencils*


*Mergoux is testing her new armor with Morgan*


*Scatty and Aoife are in the kitchen talking and eating*

*marilania waves over*

Morning Dira.
Your brother. Fearless vs monsters. Beaten by being friendly.
*laughs kindly*

*heads over to kitchen*
You want anything?

...

*Marla jogs back in with fluffy who immediately flops onto a sofa chewing on a large bone resting her head off the arm*

*marla*
Hey.. Anyone seen Leo back?
She rolled off ... To forrest... Not seen her since...

Not exactly the most peaceful place.

*Dria shakes her head*
Dria: No thanks I'm fine... What do you mean about Morgan?
*Frowns up from her drawing*

*Aerin nods*
A: Not sure how well your steel is going to do, but we'll see.

*marilania*
Just a observation.
He fearlessy took on monsters, but when a hugged and kissed on cheek . Suddenly he is thrown off.
Thanking him, fixed my necklace, sharp bit was digging into my neck.

*lieing by a window nearby reading reading enjoying sun*

...

*fluffy lays on spfa chewing on large bone still lazily*

*Trolly stands up as a trio of Rotfiends (humanoid creatures) approach him*
T: This Trolly home!

* a patroling space wolf eyes thr new creatures carefully*
*concerned by number of strange new things of late and calls over Yarl ego joins on wall quietly talking about fact there seems to be new things about.

...

*Marla looks for Leo but not see her *
*worried slightly as outcomes given circumstances are not ideal at all*

*Leo turns away from the corpses then slowly starts wheeling back to the room*

*Her left eye black and red*

*Aerin stops when the ruined village comes into sight and he frowns*
A: Her trail leads to there. Think she did this?
*slowly draws his silver sword and drinks his Black Blood*

*Trolly roars again as the Rotfiends get even closer, and takes several steps towards them*
T: Smelly monsters away-go.
*Rotfiends hiss and gurgle at Trolly and start to circle him*

*Yarl nods and the other space marine rests a heavy scoped rifle against the wall*

The troll seems... Less problematic...
*other wolf nods*
Aye... Plaugue feinds it is...

*fires and at one sneeking directly behind the troll aiming a round at its head to help*

*Brunor shrugs.*
Brunor: I do not know, haven't seen her yet.
*Draws his crossbow, and puts a explosive bolt on it.*
Brunor: Lets just find this girl and be done with it.

*Aerin nods*
A: Agreed.
*casts Quen and moves forwards until his sees Leo in the wheelchair*
A: That's the contract. Covered in blood, too.

*Rotfiend get hit in the head and staggers from the hit before promptly exploding in a shower of blood and bones*
*Trolly looks around for the source of the gunshot*
T: What shooty boom?
*Other two Rotfiends jump onto Trolly's back when he's not looking, biting and clawing at him*

*Yarl shouts*
Gun... Rotten monster dead.

Watch ya back..

*space wolf nods to yarl*
No shot... Over pen likely. .Bit I can get any lurking in trees....

*watched explosion *
That was satisfying...

*Leo's hears Aerin and frowns*

Leo: (Great...)

*She looks down at her leg and sighs*

*Trolly grabs one Rotfiend and throws it over his shoulder before stomping on it*
*Second Rotfiend explodes as well, scratching Trolly with bone fragments*
T: Trolly home! No monster!
*rounds on the third Rotfiend, which had jumped off of Trolly, and promptly starts trying to beat the gak out of it*

*rifle man helps trolly npc style as needed*
Least they explode so ya know there dead!

...

*marinalia waves to Dira and heads to bed*
Night. Sorry I've got a early morning call ..

*teleports up after grabbing her book*

..

*Marla goes to med bay*

...

*fluffy sleeps on sofa*

Ooc night.

*Denny lets herself get pulled into the restaurant, and smiles under her helmet*
D: Sitting is going to be an issue in my armour. I'll take the nearest seat on the ground.

~

*A figure is chilling in the forest doing stuff, such as gathering herbs and plants for reasons*

*Trolly kills the last Rotfiend by ripping its head off, and shoves the body away as it explodes*
T: Bad smell.

*Dria waves to Maril*


*A warparty is marching towards a village*

Jake: That.. is true. Well can't be helped. Figure we both can eat on the ground or something.
*Jake a thug, and manages to get service on the ground like a Japaneses restaurant. Ignores all the looks from people, and sits.*
Jake: This works.

---
*Brunor frowns.*
Brunor: Yes... I know her... Well met her.
*Starts walking towards Leo.*
Brunor: This girl was giving Tala gak for being a "monster." Ironic.

*Denny nods at Jake sitting on the floor, then sits with him*
D: Bruh you gangsta af.
*Clears her throat*
D: Sorry. I'll have what you have.

~

*The figure is still chilling around*

*Aerin smirks*
A: At least Tala is honest about what she is.
*follows after Brunor and calls out to Leo*
A: You made my job a lot harder, taking on this village. Coulda just said you died, and used what was left of your leg as proof.
*shrugs*
A: This works too.

*Trolly heads to a river to clean himself of the Rotfiend gore*

*Leo growls*

Leo: What are you talking about?

*Leo gets out of her wheel chair and uses it to stand upright*

*Brunor shrugs, holding his crossbow at ease.*
Brunor: You don't remember? When you spoke to her in the mainroom... forget it.
*He looks her over.*
Brunor: Did you kill these people?

---
*Jake smiles at Denny, and shrugs.*
Jake: Yes well, figured they'd serve us this way.
*He then orders drinks and foods.*

*Leo looks at Brunor*

Leo: No. They were all dead when I got here. I came here so I wouldn't have to hurt anyone...

*Leo's eye twitches when she looks at Aerin*

*Aerin shakes his head at Leo*
A: You mean to tell me that you didn't kill these people? Next you'll tell me that you're a Pellar.

*Brunor sighs.*
Brunor: Lets hear her out.
*He walks over to Leo, and motions for her to sit.*
Brunor: Just sit for now. What are you?

*Denny nods, and eats slowly*
D: I guess this is nice. Nothing dangerous around.
*Doesn't smile in public cuz she a badass mofo*

~

*Figure is chillin'*

*Several townspeople run into the restaurant*
Townsperson: We're under attack! Get the guards!
*Howling warcries can be heard above screaming townspeople from outside*

*Denny nods and eats slowly*
D: This is fun. Nothing trying to kill us, at least. And decent food. Quite the day.
*Doesn't smile in public cuz she badass mofo*

~

*Figure remains chillin cuz I gotta gtfo*

*Leo hesitates but takes a seat*

*She looks Aerin then Brunor*

Leo: I don't know what I am... All I know is what I have to do to survive... And I don't like it...

Brunor: You either accept what you are or die.
*He shrugs.*
Brunor: You eat humans, is that the only thing you can eat?

---
*Jake nods to Denny, and starts eating.*
Jake: Agreed, def-
*Looks up at the towns person and frowns.*
Jake: Great.

*Several men are scrabbling for swords and shields*
Man: Fight or submit, it's the Circle again!
*Several men run out to fight while others stay behind to protect*

*Orcs on snarling wargs and men on horses ride around cutting people down as men and orcs on foot systematically search the buildings for any wealth or items of value*
*One man in black leather armor stands in the middle of the mass of bandits giving orders to the bandits*

*Leo clenches her fists*

Leo: Yes. I can only eat humans... I've tried other options... Nothing has worked...

*Aerin frowns*
A: You said that you're an assassin. Ever try just eating your targets? Not like they'll be alive for much longer anyway. It's gotta be better than eating some peasant idiot that's got piss in his drawers.

*Leo takes a deep breath*

Leo: I've only need to eat people as of recent... And if I get to hungry, I lose control... I don't know if I could make it to the targets in time before I, lose myself...

*Aerin sighs*
A: How many times do you have to eat in a week? A month?

*marilania teleports down and staggers into main room with blood seeping through shirt and a few cuts on arms*

Can... Get doctor....
*falls over bleeding from a nasty stab wound*

Leo: I don't know!... I have no idea what I am or why...

*Leo looks at Aerin*

Leo: Now are you going to try and kill me or not?

*Mergoux looks over at Maril in surprise then runs over to her, lifts her gently and runs to the medbay where Cal begins to treat her*
*He sends Mergoux to notify Morgan which she does and he comes a'running*

*Aerin raises an eyebrow slightly*
A: If you want me to kill you, I won't hesitate.
*sighs again*
A: This might surprise the Bear, but I don't want every monster that I find to be dead. From what I see, you're better than a lot of the humans that I've had the pleasure of meeting. So, how about a deal?

Leo: What kind of deal?...

*Leo eases up slightly and looks between Brunor and Aerin*

*marlania looks up weakly not quite recognising people as kinda in shock from events*

Family ... Not always popular ....cal....?
Vic... Made me ..*tries to gesture to the white seem less teleport bracelet*
*tries to look round room but rather much in pain *

*has one large stab wound that seems to of been inflicted by someone who knows human anatomy *

*Cal heals her up*
Cal: Easy... easy... why don't you tell me what happened?

*Aerin shrugs*
A: I drop the contract, say that you're dead, and won't come for your head. In return, you try to not get caught when you're hunting. Maybe eat people that won't be missed, might help you live longer. Oh, and don't feth with Witchers. Off the menu, period. Agreed?

*marilania* *still hurting quite abit*

Assassin... One of the schismists... Same scum who killed my grandmother.

One of crew...normal... Suprise.... Me stabbed.
Victor grabbed my arm and forced me to teleport down.
*arm slightly red where someone's grabbed for the bracket in hurry and missed*

So... Not swimming for a few days cal...
*tries to lighten mood terribly despite events*

*Leo thinks it over*

Leo: Was just making sure. I've made bad deals before, very bad deals...

*Leo's eye goes back to normal*

Leo: It's a deal.

*Cal nods and helps Maril sit up*
Cal: Do you know if this person was the only attacker? Or what happened? We need to get in contact with the craft right now
*Morgan busts in, leaving Mergoux standing in the doorway rubbing her jaw with her helmet slightly askew *
Morgan: Maril?! What happened?! Who did this to you!?
*He looks both panicked and furious*

*Aerin nods*
A: One more thing. I'll need something to give to the village idiot. A finger, a hand, something so I have proof. Otherwise he won't be so willing to pay.

*Leo points at the dead bodies*

Leo: Why not use some of those remains and say they're mine?

*Leo's eye twitches as she looks at the corpses*

*marinalia*
*slightly suprised by speed Morgan enters before could answer cal*

Stabbed...asasain... One of crew ship.
Victor made me teleport down... Bracelet.. .. Cal good egg, so merg...

Phone just in my left pocket cal...
Security .. Only authed channels be allowed.

...

*victor runs in closely with blood on clothes, followed by Maria who just got alert looking rather worried *
*victor goes and holds her hand*
Phew.... Someone found you... Damn that was too close

*Maria just looks genuinely worried and looks at cal*
Gonna be ok?

*Morgan swears violently*
Morgan: When I get my hands on them-
*Interrupted by Victor and Maria*

*Cal nods reassuringly to Maria and looks rather worried at Morgan's reaction*
Cal: She'll be alright. Just rest and heal

*Morgan looks at Victor*
Morgan: What happened to the assassin?

*victor* *feels a squeeze and marinalia resting*

Ran... It was catch em or get Mali safe...
Skitari found em trying to escape to a cargo bay...
There in the brig... Stopped em killing themselves by shooting off the arm...

Dark mech....
And this. Maria probbly can read it, same cal.
*holds up a parchment written in blood in old Martian form*

*Maria takes it* *controls anger alot better than Morgan but there*
It was meant for us... Crew don,t know this language...
The dark mech send there regards. General overly dramatic prose about only knowing funerals and having no heirs... They could not hurt my father... So they went for his family.

*Morgan glowers*
Morgan: What are you going to do to the assassin?
Cal: Morgan, that's not something you need to worry about
Morgan: And why the feth n-
*Mergoux speaks up from the doorway interrupting Morgan*
Mergoux: I could take care of them. I'd get any info you need, and make sure they died slowly, and painfully.
*Morgan seems enthused by the idea and nods in agreement as Cal shakes his head*
Cal: No, no no no. We're not monsters, I won't have anything to do with torture.
*All three look at Maria and Victor*

*Maria *
Transfered to Mars... Much as that sounds apt merg...
Its our law Morgan. Sentence before the magi council... And there's far worse punishment than death... A few centuries awake and never resting trapped in a servitor unable to do anything but locked in your own head.

*victor *
I'm not Martian.... Its there laws...
I'm from a backwater world ... I only got into schola as son of a fallen general hero battling the tau empire.

*Morgan growls*
Morgan:...Fine. As long as this donkey-cave is punished for what he did.
*Cal is slightly disturbed by his son's aggressiveness and want for violence almost as much as he is by Mergoux's offer to torture the assassin to death*
Cal: I.. I think that's the best option. Morgan, why don't you go calm down...
*Morgan nods sullenly and grips Maril's hand then looks at Victor*
Morgan: Good on you for getting her out of there.
*He nods to her then goes to play some games to calm himself down*


*Mergoux shrugs and leaves*


*Cal sighs*
Cal: I worry for him... he's got a darkside to him...

*maria*
Aye... He has...
Seems got abit of Horus in him... But also a good side too... He can be a good egg when he wants to.

*smiles weakly at victor*
Think you are more than welcome in our halls and family. *victor nods*
All I aimed for was her being safe...
*stays with her in the med bay and pulls over a Chair next to a sleeping Marinalia*

*Maria *
She,s in safe hands.
Il leave you be. *smiles*

*heads to her office but keeps a eye using the monitoring system*
*worried but glad she got help. *

*Brunor nods.*
Brunor: Do you even need the pay Cat?
*He then turns to Leo.*
Brunor: Try not getting anymore contracts on your head...

---
*Jake keeps eating with Denny.*
*He blasts any of the ork who charge into the restaurant.*

*Denny chill af cause orcs aint any prob to her*
*Drinks and eats like a truck, and lets Jake kill anything that gets close*

*Leo looks at Brunor and nods*

Leo: Thank you... *Sigh* I'm sorry. Those things I said about you and, the zinogre women were... Cruel and incorrect...

*Leo turn and starts wheeling back towards the room*

Leo: Take care... (I had a contract on my head... I was a target of a quest... I am a monster... I'll just have to find a way to live with that...)

*Aerin looks over at Brunor*
A: Why not? It gives the girl a headstart, and the village can afford the pay.

Brunor: Yes, you were wrong about us. Live and learn.
*Watches her go.*
Brunor: Good luck.
*Turns to Aerin.*
Brunor: Leave her alone... let her scavnege from the dead, they won't mind.

---
*Jake returns to his dinner, after laying out any orcs who charge in.*

*Aerin sighs and walks over to a woman's corpse*
A: Necrophages will be swarming this place.
*Casts Igni on the body and lets it burn for awhile before severing its head*
A: And there's a trophy.

*Leo continues wheeling back to the room*

*She now has her full thigh and a third of her calf regrown*

*Aerin sticks the head on a trophy hook and looks over at Brunor*
A: Well, I have a contract to collect on. Don't worry, it won't cost the village a single crown.
*smirks and starts walking off to the village*

*Brunor nods.*
Brunor: Well.. lets go then.. might as well follow you.
*Still keeps his crossbow at the ready.*

*Leo thinks about the best way to manage her hunger and is making sure to keep track of how long it takes her to feel even slightly hungry*

*She continues towards the room*

*Aerin nods and keeps walking*
A: You know, if you want something from the village, they'll probably give it to you.

*Maria watches monitors and keeps a eye whilst working*

..

*marilania rests in med bay and victor managed to fail at at the stay awake part and fallen asleep in chair*

...

*Marla paces outside room talking quickly in Martian trying aramge somthibf and seemingly arguing about the speed of arangements*

...

*space wolves mainly only keeping eye on main door given odd creatures, and villages going quiet*
*one patrols a upper wall with a high calibre rifle and bolter*

*Morgan sits in his room still fuming*
Morgan:...
*He gets up and walks off to find Mergoux and a way up to the ship*


*Several crossbow bolts shoot though the windows cutting down several men inside the restaurant*
*Most of the rest of the town is on fire and the doorway to the restaurant is piled high with corpses of Orcs and Men*

*ships on alert but quiet as most crew in quarters and the whole place is being checked over for anything like bombs*

*still odd shuttle running between unloading and loading suplies*

...
*Marla sat on room steps trying to find a ship headed to Mars nearby for a prisoner transfer*

*Brunor frowns.*
Brunor: I really don't need anything... what do you intend to ask for?

---
*Jake and Denny are sitting on the restaurant floor so bolts miss them utterly.*
Jake: This is getting a tad annoying.
*He blasts another couple of orcs who charge in.*

*One of the men tending to his dying friend glares at Jake*
Man: Annoying!? You sit there eating while our town is burnt and our people slaughtered!


*One man runs up to the bandit leader in his black armor*
Bandit: M'Lord! One of the buildings his holding out!
Leader; What is it?
Bandit: It appears to be a tavern sir!
Leader: Hmm... burn it down.
*The bandit nods and shouts orders to others who toss torches into the building and onto the roof of it*


*Morgan leads Mergoux into one of the crafts going back and forth and both find a hiding spot*
*Mergoux looks at the young man in curiosity as he was able to dodge the people on board and helped her avoid being seen*
Mergoux: Where'd you learn all that?
*Morgan smiles grimly*
Morgan: I was trained by my aunt in fighting and stealth, she's one of the best when it comes to both of those

*shuttle takes off with a bolt and heads up to the ship with a servitor crew beeping and making high pitched sounds audable over the engines*

*not too well heated as cargo hokd*
Just to preserve cargo*

...

*Marla finds a flight in a few days to mars and goes to tell maria*
*sees victor and marlin sleeping holding hands and smiles*

*goes to talk with maria*

*Morgan and Mergoux are pretty cold by the time they get to the cruiser*
*Morgan grabs Mergoux's arm and pulls her along as he sneaks around looking for the brig, ducking into adjacent rooms or closests whenever he sees or hears someone*

OOC: See post below for full post.

OOC: Feth dakka

*ships crew are mostly in there rooms as ship is seached. *
*only real visible crew are patrolling skitari soldiers, carrying rifles, and other mixed weapons*

*guards seem alert and probbly to merg rather creepy being half machine and heavily cyborgs*

...

*heavy tracked combat servitor rumbles by parking up near a set of doors that seem to lead to a more luxury area of ship near the bridge and a large plasma cannon glows in shadows*


...

*Aerin shrugs*
A: Don't have the materials for the Trials of the Grasses, I'm not asking for gold, what else would a Witcher ask for payment?
*smirks slightly*
A: Needs and wants might be different, but who says that a Witcher only has to live off of needs?

*Trolly heads back to the cemetery*

*Denny sighs and stands up*
*Puts on her helmet*
D: This'll only take a moment. Keep the food warm for me.
*Busts through the wall like the Kool-aid Man, and starts bashing the gak out of the orcs*
D: I just *Bash* Wanted *Bash* To fething *Bash* Eat in peace *Bash* You fething Tolkein fangirl witches. *Bash*

*Orcs fight back but ain't good enough to challenge a Spartan II so the main dude orders a retreat and they all gather up loot and start hauling away from the village*

Ooc i posted just above black jack OT.



*patrols carry on patroling the ship as situation subroutines' say*

...

*space wolf above door notes troll about and watches discreetly*

*Marla dat on front steps watching forests*

OOC: Sorry. Didn't see it
BiC:
*Morgan and Mergoux sneak around some more until they find the brig then enter in search of the assassin*
*Mergoux seems fairly calm but Morgan is clenching and unclenching his fists as he looks into the cells*

* main brig cells are solid with heavy metal doors that are solid not barred forged from armour-plate*

*Barred door cells only holding a few drunk crew members*

*brig deck is heavily locked with alarmed doors and several heavy turrets in ceeling inactive*
*built very solidly ernough to give morgans inner engineer a nod*

ooc no worries.
dakka issues hwre going on.

*Morgan curses as he sees the drunk dudes only (I think that's what you're implying Jhe)*
Morgan: Feth! Where is the assassin?!

*on other sideof Brig is a row of armoured hatches with heavy powered locking systems*

*if he exmaines them carefully he will find alarms rigged up And security camera feeds etc*

*coridor has a large heavy bolter turret inactive in the ceeing merely making odd blink of a green lenses*

*Morgan dodges the security feed and ducks under camera*
*He dodges from camera to camera as Mergoux watches confusedly as he messes with one at a time briefly before moving onto the next*
*Finally after messing with the cams he starts to work on the door*
Mergoux:...You'd be a world class burglar that's for sure...
*Morgan ignores her as he systematically disables each alarm*

*main alarms disable after some work but auxiliary and secondary systems keep tryin to activate and risk triggering thr heavy bolter few metres away loaded with not very good for you 25mm explosive ammo*

*if beaten the cell shall open revealing his goal*
*cells are Spartan but self contained and generally jaily and metalic*

*assain is lying with one bandaged amstump where his arm was shot off*
*is defiant and unwilling to give a inch loyal to the dark mech to death*

....

*marilania wakes up and tries to lean up but lies down again*
Oww.... Damn it..
*smiles and sleeping victor and pulls a gakky novel off aide table*
Guess I'm here for abit...

*Morgan grits his teeth as he works delicately finally cracking the thing open*
*He growls and lifts the assassin and lifts him by his collar*
Morgan: Alright you piece of gak, spill! Why'd you attack Maril?!

*assain defiantly *
She is related to the fabricator. Fabricator is of the imperium.
The fabricator is our enemy. So she is a enemy.

I serve the dark mecanicous. I am but a instrument of the dark magis will.

Defiant despite in a rather gakky scenario*

*Morgan glares and smacks the man's stump wound hard*
Morgan: Who sent you!? Who sent you to kill them?!

*assain tries to put up a brave impasive face*

I am a tool... There are many tools.
The dark masters sent me... The black magi, the dark and terrible lords of ruin.

*cackles almost evily*
A friend... Lover even... A another weakness in the house of Olympus mons...

...

*marilania lies back reading gakky novel somewhat lazily but unable to move much yet and sighs*

So.. Wonder of Il get any vistors tonight..
*victor stirs alightly*
Hey Mali... Victors... Well there's only one of me... Must have you on meds. *laughs*

*Morgan raises a fist to strike the man but Mergoux stops him*
Morgan: Hey!
Mergoux: Don't start with the head, if you want information then you start somewhere else.
*She she moves forwards and stamps her heavy boot heel down in the man's toes*
Mergoux: Like a foot
*Morgan nods and shakes the man hard*
Morgan: You tell me where they are and I'll let you escape with a few bones still intact, got it?

*grits teeth and glares back*
The lot of ruin would do far worse if I betrayed them...
Even if I knew id never tell you...

*picks up on somthibf and tries to play morgan as seemed to work last time*
So you do love her huh... Shame there's another on her bed. Shall I describe how I slid my blade into her gut... Slowly... Precisely to cause maximum injury.

*Morgan lowers his head then comes back up grinning evilly*
Morgan: You made such a mistake.
*He slams the man into the wall then tosses him to the floor and looks at Mergoux*
Morgan: He's all yours.
*Mergoux nods once and draws a knife then kneels down next to the man as Morgan walks out and subjects him to professionally practiced torture*
OOC: Be back in a hour or so

Ooc Il be asleep so depending on how you wanna go

*assassin gives up information after much resistance and spills where and who*
*fanatics are hard to break*

*reveals also been working got years to get his chance, slowly, patiently and precisely to get close ernough*
*tries to resist to end*

Ooc or pause but I think the guys pretty fethed lol!

...

*victor smells self and decides he might be confused for a servant of nurgle*

Il be back in morning Mali.. Been dressed like this for 2 days, and still got your .. *looks at bloody t shirt*

*kisses her and heads back up to ship *
*suites now under heavier guard*

*skitari alpha stood perfectly still guarding her door with a acrane looking pistol and sword *
*unervingly still but perfectly alert and atentive*
..

*marilania sleeps peacefully as she can despite the pain obviously effecting her*

*Maria goes to bed unable to stay up longer*
*Marla goes to bed and explains events sadly to milo*

*Leo wheels into the room*

*She looks around and goes into the lounge*

*Mergoux leaves the man alive, but only barely and walks out to Morgan with a good amount of blood spattered on her black woolen shirt*
Mergoux: I've got what you want, but we need to get out of here first.
*Morgan looks to argue but eventually nods and begins sneaking back to catch a ride on a ship or something*


*Morri walks into the lounge with Dria and both wave to Leo*
Morri: Hey Leo!

*Leo waves to Morri and her face sinks slightly*

Leo: How are you doing?

*Leo forces a smile*

*Morri is a little tense around Leo but tries to put past events aside*
Morri: I'm doing alright all things considered... How's your... wait, I thought you were missing more of your leg than that? That's what Cal said at least...
*Dria smiles slightly*

*Figure eventually gets up, and stretches*
*Picks up her gear, and moves away from a misty lake she was inspecting*
*Leaves a dead body in the lake like a boss*

*An Ork looted wagon goes careening through the forest near the lake that the figure is by*
*the commander in the hatch is hurling insults at the driver below*

Leo: Guess I heal really quick then.

*Leo eye's are both normal color*

Leo: I'll be out of this chair faster then I thought.

*Morri nods still surprised*
Morri: There's a difference between healing and fething-
Dria: Mom!
Morri: Sorry, sorry. But there's a difference between healing and regrowing limbs Leo!

*The figure turns towards the noise, and drops her gear*
*Draws a long sword, and her hands and eyes start glowing blue*

*the Looted Wagon narrowly avoids hitting a tree, going briefly onto one set of tracks before slamming back to earth*
*if the figure is close enough she can hear the Ork commander shouting*
I TOLD YA TA NOT PRESS DAT YOU ZOGGIN' SQUIG BRAIN! AND WHA'S THE FIRST TING YA DO? YOU PRESSED DAT!

*Leo sinks*

Leo: I... I should go...

*Leo wheel's past Morri and Dria*

Leo: I'm sorry...

*Leo wheels herself off towards her room*

*Brunor frowns at Aerin.*
Brunor: Wow. Great.
*Facepalms, and debates on what to do.*
Brunor: You know what... feth it. These people keep hiring you, and you keep fething gak up. So sure go ruin some poor girls night, I'm going back to the room.
*Starts walking towards the room.*

---
*Jake gets up, and dusts self off.*
*Watches Denny smash orc faces, and smokes a cigarette. Then watches them run away.*
Jake: Well... hope you enjoyed what little dinner you had.

*The figure tilts her head to the side very discreetly, then encases the entire area in which the voice was coming from in ice*
*Turns, picks up her gear, and goes back to walking*

~

*Denny sighs, and sits on a body*
D: Yeah, it tasted good. fething cosplayers had to ruin it.

~

*Tala is sleeping in the live feed area after having finished the entire stock of live feed*
*Lots and lots of bodies surround her*

*the commander finally notices the ice that is surrounding the area around the tank*
*shouts down into the tank for the krew to blast at the ice*
*it's presumably going to take a while*

*Figure listens to the orks shooting the ice, and picks up speed somewhat*
*Pulls her hood tighter over her head, and keeps going*

WHA' ARE YOU WAITING FOR YOU STUPID GROTS! SHOOT DA ICE!
*a chunk of the ice wall is blown off*
*still got a ways to go*

*Brunor keeps pushing towards the room, feeling a little naked without his silver sword.*

---

*Jake sits next to Denny, and sighs.*
Jake: Yeah.. well at least we ate. Wanna head back?
*Puffs on his cigarette, and looks over the dead.*

*Gharn walks into the live feed area feeling hungry and looks around in shock at the lack of food*
Gharn:...



*Morrigan sighs as she watches Leo walk off*
*Dria looks up at her mother*
Dria: Aunt Leo seemed upset...
*Morrigan nods*
Morrigan: Yeah... I might go talk to her..


*Mergoux and Morgan walk into the main room and Mergoux confers the info she got to him*

*Leo rolls her door but can't reach the handle from while sitting on the wheelchair*

*She frowns and starts getting out of her chair to open the door*

Leo: (...)

*Figure keeps going*

~

*Denny nods, and puts an arm around Jake's shoulders*
D: Yeah, in a bit. Y'know, if we pretend the dead bodies and burning buildings weren't here, this would be pretty romantic.

~

*Tala snores once*

*Gharn looks over at Tala in annoyance from where he's double checking rabbit pens*
*Mutters about greedy scalys*


*Morrigan sighs, hugs her daughter, gets up and walks after Leo*
Morrigan: Leo? Leo can we talk?


*Morgan and Mergoux part ways. Morgan goes to study maps and locations while Mergoux goes to sit outside the room and sharpen her knife*
*She's still covered in blood and looks down at herself*
Mergoux: Hrm.. I'll need to get this washed.
*She pulls another shirt out of her bag, looks around and quickly changes, tossing the bloodied shirt into her bag*

*after a fair bit of time the Looted Wagon finally blasts through the ice wall and begins careening at high speed (for a tank) towards the Room*
