*Wade shakes his head and sighs*
DP: You'll get there, bud. But just sayin', it's a ton of fun.

*Santiago shrugs at the lack of people*
S: Just us for now, it looks like.

*Kara heads out for a small walk outside the room, because it's better than sitting in her room all day*

*Jake shrugs.*
Jake: You ready when you are ready... Wade is just perverted.
*Keeps looking around for threats.*

---
*A group of figures in yellow watch the trio from a distance.*
*They all appear to be in yellow trench coats.*

---
*The dual sworded figure watches Tala surface, and kill the fish.*
Figure(In a gruff tone): Excuse me!
*Watches her go under, and sighs.*

---
*Flagg sighs, and pats Maggie's snout.*
Flagg: It's okay.. we will fix this.

*Gharn frowns*
Gharn: Yes he is...
*He can't smell anything cause he's still in humani form*

*Wade keeps leading the group forwards, coincidentally heading towards the yellow figures*
DP: We'll find something soon. Then it'll be "say hello, to my leetle friend."

*Kara finds her way towards Daveth's camp, and stumbles upon Kade*
Kade: Can I have a word with you, miss?
*He smiles at her, and Kara frowns*
Kara: I suppose. But what about?

*Tala surfaces again without a fish, and rests her head on the bank*
*Splashes some water around, then pulls herself up out of the water*

~

*Joalia shrugs, and looks around*
Tail: Kitchen maybe?

*Maggie's tail flicks from side to side*

*She lay's their breathing*

*After about 40 mins a crack can be heard*

*Maggie lets out a pained whine and she starts shifting to her human form*

*Jake smiles at Deadpool, and nods in agreement.*
Jake: I am sure we will, have no fear of that... I have a habit of drawing trouble.
*Realizes how real that statement is and kinda gets down from it.*

*Figures in yellow, start to walk towards the trio.*
*They all walk with eerie calmness.*

---
*Figure walks over to Tala, and frowns.*
Figure: Can you speak?
*Examines her, and retains his frown.*
Figure: Never seen a being like you before..

---
*Flagg watches silently, as Maggie shifts.*

*Tala's jaw clenches the moment she hears the figure, and she turns to look at him*
I can... What do you want, human?
*Can't spark up cause wetness from water*
*Backs away towards the dead fish*

*Gharn shrugs*
Gharn: So do I. Let's just hope what trouble we find doesn't prove too.. troublesome

*Maggie finishes shifting and sits there panting*

Maggie: O-owwww...

*Maggie stays curled up on the floor but smiles up at Flagg*

*Wade frowns slightly*
DP: Don't even trip, yo. You know how to shoot the gak out of the trouble that you find. Boom headshot!
*giggles slightly*

*Santiago nods and picks Joalia up again and heads into the kitchen*
S: Hello?

*Kade takes Kara over to the treeline of the forest*
Kade: I'll keep this brief, don't worry. I'm sure you have things that you'd like to do.
*as Kade speaks, he runs a hand along his staff, cutting his thumb on a small spike near the tip of the staff. Kara doesn't notice, and shrugs*
Kara: So, what is it that you need?
*Kade smiles at her*
Kade: Why, I just wanted to talk to you, Herald.
*Kade's eyes have specks of red, and he jabs the staff towards Kara. A red substance surrounds her, forcing her to take a knee, and binding her in place*
*Kara stares at Kade and struggles against the bindings, her arm's veins glowing violently*
Kara: Why?

*Jake nods in agreement, then finally notices a pair of the yellow trench coats walking towards them.*
Jake: That is probably trouble...
*Yellow coats all draw strange looking weapons of many types.*
Jake: Yep. Trouble.

---
*Flagg smiles back.*
Flagg: You okay?

---
*Figure sighs, makes sure his hands are shown, and open.*
Figure: Not a human.. witcher. Just wanted to know where I am.
*Stands back from her, and keeps arms up.*
Figure: Mean you no harm..

*Gharn sighs and grumbles as he shifts and charges*
Gharn: And I did so like this shirt...
*He pounces towards the one farthest to the right with a roar*

*Maggie nods to Flagg*

Maggie: I-I'm alright. But I couldn't stop myself changing... Feth I really hate Gaunter...

*Maggie starts standing up*

*Wade nods and draws his magnums*
DP: Oh boy, now we're talking. Anyone know these fethers, or are they just Randy's?
*smiles at the Coats*
DP: You boys got a name? Oh, nevermind. Kitty swings first.
*starts firing at the figures*

*Kara glares at Kade and struggles more, but doesn't make any progress*
Kara: Blood magic.
*Kade ignores the comment and steps towards Kara, keeping his staff leveled at her (and therefore keeping the magic going)*
*several green skinned figures step out of the treeline, distancing themselves from Kade, but Kara's eyes widen when she recognizes them*
Kade: I'll admit, I was expecting more than this from you, Herald. Perhaps the Watchman was wrong in picking you. But it isn't my place to criticise the words of the divine.

*Tala snarls slightly, then jerks her head in the direction of the room*
That way.
*Looks over the figure, and continues growling*
*Stops just in front of the fish, then leans down to pick it up*
*Bites into it while staring at the figure, and his weapons*

~

*Joalia shrugs(with her tail) at no-one being around, then writes in the ground*
Tail: Our nest, then?

*Santiago nods*
S: Might as well. No one's out, and we get some privacy.
*smiles and kisses Joalia's nose whole walking back towards the dome*

*The figures (Darkspawn) step towards Kara, and Kade steps aside for them*
Kade: I'll be seeing you later, Herald. When the Watchman wills it, of course.
*As the Darkspawn grab Kara, her veins glow even brighter. A small wave of Fade energy erupts from Kara, and she struggles even more against her bindings. The Darkspawn and Kade are thrown from their feet (ending the binding spell on Kara), and Kara staggers backwards. Kade quickly regains his composure and strides towards Kara, albeit with scorch marks on his robes and skin*
Kade: The Watchman will not be denied so easily.

*Jake and Deadpools gun fire at the yellow coats, dropping a group of them.*
Jake: Low men... Taheen freaks. Just kill him
*Still smoking his cigarette.*
*The yellow coats scream, and fire wildly at Gharn before being pounced on. They begin to open fire with laser guns of all sorts.*

---
*The witcher frowns at Tala, and then sighs.*
Witcher: "That way" isn't very descriptive of where I am.
*He goes through his bag, pulls out some cooked chicken half wrapped in buckthorn.*
Witcher: You hungry? Here I'm full..
*Throws her the chicken, and steps back.*

---
*Flagg sighs.*
Flagg: Yep... coulda told you that..
*He helps her stand up.*
Flagg: Now take it easy..

*Maggie nods*

Maggie: I guess now would be a good time for that plan...

*Maggie smiles weakly and hugs Flagg*

*Leo pokes Amy*

Leo: I have another idea! Can I shrink you again?

*Gharn gets hit in the arm and shoulder before crushing two of the men underneath him*
*He turns and makes someone preform the classic lion tamers head-in-mouth trick, then bites down*
*He tosses the headless body aside and rakes his claws across a 4th man's chest while chewing*

*Looks at the chicken, then at her fish*
That is the direction of people who can tell you where you are. All I can tell you now is that you are in the forest. By a lake. Though I am sure you can see that.
*Looks at the chicken again*
I assume it is poisoned?

~

*Joal snuggles against Santiago with her cheek*

~

*Amy nods, then sits up*

*Wade nods*
DP: Sounds good to me.
*keeps shooting at the Taheen*
DP: Y'know, Taheen sounds like a spicy food. I'd eat the feth out of a Taheen wrap, if I got offered one.

*Kara shudders and her nightmares flash through her mind, prominently the one ending with her in the cave, and she goes berserk*
*hurdles herself at Kade, who thrusts his staff into Kara's gut, causing blood to splash onto the grass*
Kade: You're lucky the Watchman needs you alive, Herald.
*Kara doesn't respond and lunges at Kade again, pushing the staff deeper into her, but manages to wrap her arms around Kade's throat. Kade starts to siphon blood from Kara in an attempt to save his own life, but the Qunari crushes his windpipe in her grip*

*Malcoy senses something fethed up happened to his master, and immediately follows after her scent. Malcoy finds Kara in a pool of blood, with her hands still wrapped around Kade's throat. The Mabari bites down on the back of Kara's shirt and starts dragging her back to the room, causing more blood to spill out in the process*

*Santiago lays down with Joalia and kisses her forehead*
*smiles at her and cuddles*

*Cal and Morri walk into the kitchen and get food while chatting with Iris*
*Morri's still pretty down in the dumps but Cal is doing his best to keep her cheered up*

*Leo pulls out the resizer*

Leo: I'm going to hide you in a box. Then just walk out of the room. No way that will fail.

*Leo laughs awkwardly*

Leo: (Is this really the best I could come up with?)

*Malcoy drags Kara into the main room and starts barking and howling, trying to get someone's attention*

*The Taheen quickly fall back at the viscous attacks from the trio.*
Jake: Let us pursue them.. figure out where they are coming from.
*Looks at the pair.*
Jake: Anyone hurt.

---

*The witcher sighs, and shakes head.*
Witcher: No plans to poison you.. Just some chicken. Thank you for the information.
*He starts walking towards the room, then looks back.*
Witcher: What is your name?

---
*Flagg shakes his head.*
Flagg: You need to rest... Gaunter has cursed you as he has cursed me.
*He grits his teeth.*
Flagg: you don't know how fethed we are.

*Maggie sits down and nods*

Maggie: And its all my fault... But no point dwelling on that now... What do you think Gaunter has planned for us?..

*Gharn flexes his arm and winces from the wound in his bicep and shoulder*
Gharn: I'll be fine... Who where those humans?
*He wipes away some blood with scraps of cloth from the deceased*


*Iris, Morri and Cal check on Malcoy*
Iris: Malcoy? What-*gasp!* Kara! Cal we need you!
*Cal runs over and gets Kara medical treatment, then helps take her back to her room*
Cal: It's a stab wound, dull ended. Possibly a staff or the handle to a broom or something.
*They talk for a bit, make sure Kara's okay and Iris goes off to try to find Maiev*

*Stare's at the witcher for a bit, then picks up the chicken*
Tala. My name is Tala.
*Watches him again, for a bit longer*
What... Is your name...Witcher?

~

*Amy rolls her eyes then waits for Leo to zap her*

*Jake sighs.*
Jake: Thugs pretty much.. with high tech laser guns. You alright by the way?
*Lights up another cigarette.*

---

*The witcher's walks slows slightly.*
Witcher: Hello Tala, I am Brunor. Enjoy the chicken.

---
*Flagg shrugs.*
Flagg: I have no clue... but I assume something bad.
