Go on.

Talk to Nez'gol. Answer him honestly. Be ready for combat if the need to fight arises.

[WunderKatze]

Nayrous spreads his spindly arms into the air like a prophet with fingers spread and his dusty runic adornments flowing. He tries to feel a wind that would indicate an exit. If he suceeds take the exit.

"Gentle winds show us your blessed path. Gratia."

Upgrade my INT. ((I'm interested in other stats too (for better or worse ), but that tasty +1 parry on my sword is sitting there.))

[_DivideByZero_]

Disappointed.

Cyfraith decides to stalk the werewolves from the treetops, gliding from tree to tree. In the process, she attempts to mask the sounds of her movement by creating a void around herself. She doesn't need to breath, anyway.

...or does she?

The reason for why I couldn't post in the last two days was because I had to learn for a bunch of tests at school. But since that's over with, I should be able to post normally at least until the end of the week.

@Crimson Oh... um... I forgot to mention that cooldowns end at the end of your turn (after using up all your major actions) didn't I? Well, sorry. *nervous laugh*

I'd like to ask all the players, except for _DivideByZero_, to post the backstories of their characters in a spoiler at the end of their post. If your character doesn't have one, then feel free to ignore this message.

Mercenary 1

You inspect both chests in all the ways you know, trying to find any signs of traps that could trigger if you try to open them. You don't really find anything like that, or perhaps the chests are simply not trapped physically, so you proceed to open one of them, starting with...

(Roll for randomness: 1)

The left one. It seems to be unlocked, and the inside is filled with... nothing more than a seemingly impenetrable shadow. As you try to pierce the darkness and see if there was anything else inside, you feel something shift behind you. Your raise your head and look around, only to see that you were in a completely different place now: there were no walls or ceiling or anything, just numerous streaks of red and purple running round in chaotic patterns on a background formed of pure blackness. You were no longer sitting on the transparent floor of the Hall of Ceremonies, instead it was replaced with a misty grey substance which streched almost infinitely into the darkness. Nevertheless, as you continue staring in all directions, you don't notice as a tiny imp appears in front of you.
"Oh? I didn't know we had a new arrival." it says with a mocking tone. You notice that it's skin was tinted with various dark colors. "Anyway, you're a skeleton, so you must be sent here by Azygos, righ?" the imp remarks, studying you closely.

Mercenary 2

You decide to increase your intelligence further because you realize this would give you both a boost to both offense and defense. In your warrior form, at least. Anyway, you raise both of your bare arms into the air, with fingers spread, almost resembling a prophet. Or a summoner. Either way, you feel the wind blowing through both paths, although it was slightly stronger in the right one, so you go to the supposed exit. Rhunon only shrugs to himself before quietly following you. Going through an opening you quickly realize from a quick glance around why the wind was blowing from both paths: it was because they actually led to different parts of the same room, which were separated by the endless abyss you saw a few times earlier. Although, looking down, you can faintly make out their rock bottom. You also notice a bunch of holes on the walls around. Anyway, you go further down the path stretching ahead of you, careful to not fall off the edges to your death, and not after long you come across wider ground. Looking around you see a small depression filled with a frozen liquid, a few small stalagmites strewn around and... a dead girl with light blue hair sitting in a puddle of dried blood behind one of them. You can see a bunch of stab wounds and gashes on her chest and arms.
"Human. She was probably killed while trying to escape." your companion remarks before turning towards you. "So, what do you want to do with her?" he then asks. You glance forward that the path continued up to a giant stalagmite going far up into the ceiling with orange crystals growing around it, but didn't go any further.

"Oh, it's just that... well..." Nez'gol fidgeted a little before clearing his throat. "Well, since I was little, I always wanted to explore. At first I was satisfied with just the Marrowin Woods, but now... Well, let's just say it is not enough for me anymore." the lizardman explained then took a few seconds to compose himself. "And, since you're a mercenary, I wanted to ask you if you'd let me join you." he finally added, looking at you expectantly. In the meantime, Sar'nir was staring into the distance.

Mercenary 4

You both go down the south path, which was narrower and thus forced you to go one at a time. Anyway, after a few minutes of walking the path veers to the right into a large room. You don't really have time to look around because the first thing you see is another emerald bassilisk who hisses loudly towards you. Suddenly, behind it appear two more reptile and... a blue three-headed anaconda.
"Well, it looks like we now know from where those other bassilisks came from." Vanina observes before starting to chant...

(Vanina: 5 + 2 + 1 + 3 = 11 vs 9 = 1 + 2 + 2 + 4 Dodge Mature emerald basilisk #1)
(Armor protection: 2 - 1 = 1 damage)
(Vanina: 1 + 2 + 1 + 3 = 7 vs 9 = 1 + 2 + 2 + 4 Dodge Mature emerald basilisk #2)

(Vanina: 1 + 2 + 1 + 3 = 7 vs 6 = 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 Dodge Blue Anaconda)
(Armor protection: 1 - 2 = -1 damage)

Flames erupt like mad from the ground, incinerating one of the basilisk while the rest manage to get away from the fire. Fortunately, this also means that they won't be able to attack you right now.

Empire 1

In response to your words, Carola immediately retaliates towards the orc with two consecutive strikes...

(Carola: 4 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 = 10 vs 12 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 5 Parry Red Orc)

Yet both of her attacks are parried. She frowns as Fenrir casts another shadow fragment.

(Man: 3 + 2 + 1 - 1 - 1 = 4 vs 9 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 Parry Red Orc)

But the enemy easily blocks his spell. He then attempts to deliver another blow towards the girl.

(Red Orc: 4 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 1 = 10 vs 12 = 1 - 1 - 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 6 Parry Carola)

His shortswords only meet the steel of Carola's swords before she pushes him back. In the meantime, you were running towards the elf and nearly reached him, but he manages to cast a spell before you can attack.

(Elf mage: 6 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 3 - 3 - 1 = 6 vs 9 = 1 - 1 - 1 + 2 + 2 + 6 Dodge Mystel)

You dodge his fireball before slashing towards him with your dai-katanas!

(Mystel: 3 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 1 - 1 = 16 vs 2 = 1 - 3 - 3 - 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 4 Dodge Elf mage)
(Electicity damage: +1)

Your blades cut through the mage's flesh like melted butter, creating a massive wound starting from his right shoulder and ending at his lower torso from which blood poured like a river. You then turn around but before you can do anything, a cloaked woman appears before you. She was wielding two dai-katanas just like you, although hers had longer blades and a red mark on each of their hilt.
"Lord Uba is impressed with your capabilities. I am to lead you to him." she said in a smooth tone. Her expression is hidden by the cloak's hood.

Since your body is basically a wooden doll, you don't really need to breathe, so you decide to create a void around yourself, thus muting any sound your movements would make. Since sound can't travel through void and all. Anyway, you proceed to glide from tree to tree, following the werewolves to where they were going. You notice Saraquel coming up just behind you on the ground, his sprint being surprisingly silent. You continue stalking them for a few minutes until the red one suddenly stops and snarls towards the blue one. Well, you know he's snarling because he's showing his teeth, since you can't really hear anything in the void you created around you. You watch them exchange facial expressions, which could be anything from more snarls to growls, until the blue werewolf turns around and continues running. Meanwhile, the other one stays there.

Spoiler: Backstory (click to show/hide)

Nix had the misfortune of being the son of a highly skilled, rather famous warrior. This was misfortune because the demands of being a warrior on retainer to the local lord meant that Nix's father barely spent any time at home with his son. No mother, no siblings, Nix was left on his own much of the time. He'd spend his days absently ignoring the teachings of various two-bit tutors his father hired, picking fights with the neighbourhood toughs, and on the rare occasions where he actually interacted with his father, learning how to handle the sword.

Thus was Nix's life. Seeing that he had no real future other than applied violence much like his old man, Nix enlisted in some petty war or another, he couldn't even remember what it was about. Separatist rebel farmers or something. Nix bled, fought and killed plenty in that war, and found he had a taste for it. The rush of battle, camaraderie with fellow warriors, the strange closeness he felt with the foes he duelled and killed, it was the only connections he ever really knew.

After his father's passing, Nix took the rapier of his old man and set out to become a respected warrior in his own right. Not tied to any one master or place, he challenged strong fighters wherever he went, winning plenty, losing some, but never losing badly enough to risk death. Up until he had the bad luck of running into a wizard who was the brother of a man he'd killed. Caught off guard, the wizard's magic tore the flesh from Nix's bones, and death overcame him. To Nix's surprise, it wasn't the end. The wizard, in his vengeance, raised Nix to be an undead tool and weapon.

Years passed in a hazy, barely remembered dream. Nix knew he must have done some awful things in the service of that bastard, didn't bother him much. Eventually, such a wizard would encounter something he could not overcome, and when Nix finally snapped back to full sapience, he found himself standing around the corpse of the wizard, along with other still moving, but mostly smashed, skeletons. Nix was the last minion to survive. Not wanting to know the circumstances behind his survival, Nix found his father's rapier and took off. Now, an undead mercenary, he shall find his fame, fortune and place in this world one stab, thrust, and cut at a time.

Antaeus laughs.

If thy wish is to join me, I have no complaints. I warn you, though - in my line of work, death is not something that can be avoided. Just make sure it is your foe who dies.

Naturally, I shall give you half of any profit we may make.

I am an outsider - where do you wish to go?

ANTAEUS IS SOOPER MYSTERIOUS OKAY HE DOESN'T NEED A BACKST-

Antaeus is an outsider to this land. He is a wanderer, always on the move. Indeed, in the lands he came from, Antaeus garnered too much fame for his skills with the blade. He was stronger than any mortal man, and his strikes were quicker than lightning. None could stand against him. He left, seeking adventure and a new challenge. That new challenge came to him during a catastrophic accident, where he stumbled upon a rare source of pure dark magic. He lost all of his power and skill, and is now simply waiting for his life to end.

Indeed, when his life ends, it shall only be the beginning.

Antaeus is more than one may think at first - he is a mortal, but was he always one?

"Sorry but that's not something I can easily do."

Switch focus to parrying. In a battle against someone like her, parrying would be preferable over dodging. Once I switch focus, try to get back to my companions without attacking her. However, if she decides to block my way:

"Fenrir!"

I can hope that Fenrir hears me and targets the girl with his magic. During that time, run back to my companions, making sure to have some distance between me and the new girl to minimize the chances of her attacking me.

While going back to my companions, cast Thunder Impulse on the orc if he is still fighting Carola and Fenrir. Don't hesitate to use Thunder Impulse on the new stranger though if she continues to try to block my path.

Spoiler: Backstory (click to show/hide)

The early parts of Mystel's life are actually mired in trouble. For one, the identity of her parents and her original birthplace were completely unknown. Even her name was not know, her current name having been given to her by her foster mother, Leila, who had raised her up since that day.

Originally, Mystel was discovered when Leila and a few warriors went in and dealt with a group of troublesome bandits. While cleaning up the bandit's base, they discovered the extremely young Mystel within the bandit encampment, tucked in thick clothing and sleeping peacefully at one part of th camp. She was slightly malnourished yet was doing relatively well despite the group she was in.

One problem however was that all of the bandits were male and not one of them had any features that resembled the child in any way. As a result, it was concluded that child was likely the victim of the bandit's atrocities, most likely having been kidnapped from her original family during an attack or raid. However, despite being freed from bandits clutches, it was impossible to track the child's original family and as a result, Leila herself took in the responsibility of raising the child whom she now called Mystel.

Mystel was then raised within Tyrine for years with nothing notable happening for most of her life. That was until at the age of 13, Mystel began physical and combat training under her foster mother. Inspired by her mother's skill and deeds, Mystel herself wanted to become a warrior. This life of training continued on for at least a year until one particular moment. A month after Mystel's 14th birthday, Leila left Mystel under the care of the School of Warriors. It was then that Leila left Tyrine and never returned.

When she left, Leila's last words to her adopted daughter was to not search for her, something which the young Mystel did not initially follow. Yet after months of fruitless searching and even with the help of the school, nothing substantial was found other than that Leila had apparently left the territory of the Human Empire before disappearing completely. Mystel eventually decided to settle in her new life, all the while holding conflicted feelings for the mother who had once raised and left her. It was 3 years later that Mystel became a candidate for a certain tournament.

Gee, this is dragging on, Cyfraith thought idly twirling a knife. Without air to slow its weight, it practically swung on its own, hanging from the invisible line.

She stalks the wolf some more. She doesn't plan on killing one as it wouldn't help her find that shrine anyway. But this is too interesting to pass up.

"Yes. The dead.

Our numbers are always on the rise. Beata anima."

Nayrous examines the girl closer. Are these the wounds inflicted by the enemies he has encountered? Or is this room likely home to new threats?

Also shamelessly examine her pocessions. It would be optimistic to imagine she kept a diary.

Spoiler: Backstory! (click to show/hide)

The warriors of Aamon were but a quorum when compared to the armies of neighboring states. Controlled by long standing warrior-nobles, the army refused to fill their ranks with peasants and mercenaries, instead they continued in their traditions of recruiting errant knights and other proven warriors. This small and elite force enjoyed many victories, falsely affirming the arrogant warrior-nobles military policies. However, as time past nearby estates became to organize their more sizable forces, although they still relied on peasants and mercenaries they began to form ranks and formations that proved much harder to route even for the well fed, physically superior and often magically blessed warriors of Aamon. The warriors of Aamon began to suffer serious attrition.

Raioyris, a particularly ambitious errant knight, was offered the prestigious title of Tribunus Militum, Commander of the Knights, on the condition that he helped execute a coup to supplant the current warrior-nobles whose constant defeats had shaken the hold's faith in their strategies and policies. Raioyris accepted.

Born of a strong wild pale mountain people Raioyris enjoyed life as a both fair and strong warrior. His early deeds allowed him to come in possession of a distinctive black suit of armor, with a pluming Galea style helmet with a close helm (renaissance style) like face mask and purple cloths. The suit was of layered plates designed to facilitate rapid movements and contortions. He also came into possession of powerful sword called Animo Feram. It was long and thin, crafted to match Raioyris' rapid fighting style.

Raioyris supported a successful coup and soon assumed the position of Tribunus Militum; however, by this time the army of Aamon had dwindled to but a few exhausted warriors who were to defend the estate of Aamon against the tactically evolved levied armies of neighboring estates. Sworn to the service of his lord and having built a life out of daring and brave deeds, Raioyris maneuvered his knights for one last strike against the closing enemies of Aamon.

His ambushed proved effective; however, foolish as the number of warriors under his command were not enough to achieve an offensive victory. The enemy general dismounted to fight an exhausted and bloodied Raioyris. It was during this grueling match that Raioyris was struck down. The hand full of remaining knights of Aamon appealed to the enemy general asking that they be permitted to take the Tribunus Militum back to the Castle of Aamon to bury him in accordance with the traditions of the estate. The general accepted under the condition that half of the remaining knights surrender as prisoners. And so Raioyris' body and a handful of remaining knights returned to the estate.

The Lord of the estate, who had led the coup, in desperation enlisted a necromancer to resurrect all of the knights buried in the estate. The necromancer agreed under the condition that 200 human souls be paid tribute, under the pressure of the current state of affairs the Lord accepted the shameful deal.

Among the resurrected warriors were Raioyris, now called Nayrous, and three generations of Tribunus Militum all of which rivaled Nayrous in strength. At the completion of the final siege Nayrous and the previous Tribunus Militum were unleashed on the oncoming forces. Nayrous found that he had slowed considerably, he found that his legendary armor had been bound to his very spirit form by seals and incantations. His abilities were, by necessity, heavily augmented by magic, the skeletal body of the dead did not share the natural strength of a living body. Nayrous and his peers fought with great success but could not affect the out come of the siege and instead were repelled into the wilderness.

Nayrous wondered for quite sometime, desperately trying to hold on to his dream like memories. He decided that he must pursue the resurrection of his flesh as this current undead vessel was suited only for servitude, it is far to weak to contain his spirit.

You kneel down and examine the girl's wounds more closely. You see a few stab wounds, one gash and finally numerous... bite marks? The stabs seem to be from the millipuves while the gash was most probably made one the sharp bloodied stone you see nearby, but the bites are certainly from something else. Nevertheless, after observing all this, you proceed to loot her body, finding a bag with a considerable amount of gold, a green ring and finally a small book with leather cover. You quickly place all of theese in your inventory. Meanwhile, Rhuno went towards the giant stalagmite at the of the path and collected a few orange crystals that were more loose.

"Thanks, and yes, I'm used to fighting like that. It was mostly against undead who tried to wander into our forest until now, though." Nez'gol replies with a relieved smile. You keep and eye on Sar'nir, who was now climbing into a nearby tree, trying to gather some Crimson Oranges. "Splitting the rewards seems only fair and as for where we should go... well..." he continues, pulling out the map he picked up in the rogue leader's house. "I just finished reading this map before you came here. It seems to lead from the rogue's camp to a place called the 'Wonder Marsh'. Maybe we could go there?" the lizardman finishes. In the meantime, the other one did an acrobating jump from the tree he climbed on, landing right on top of the pillar next to Nez'gol, which also happens to be the one with the bird nest you saw when you first came here. He picks up an egg and says something to Nez'gol. Your partner's eyes go wide with surprise.

Vanina grunts in response you lunge towards the basilisk closest to you...

(Armor protection: 4 - 1 = 3 damage)

Your blades slice a large wound across the reptile's back. It falls limp on the ground in a pool of it's own blood. In the meantime, the anaconda has slithered up to you and now attempts to bit down on your arm...

(Blue Anaconda: 3 + 3 + 1 + 1 = 8 vs 8 = 1 - 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 5 Parry Geralt)

You barely manage to block off it's jaws with your weapons. Vanina, who was keeping her distance from your fight, shoots two fireballs towards the anaconda.

(Vanina: 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 7 vs 7 = 1 + 1 + 2 + 3 Dodge Blue Anaconda)
(Vanina: 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 5 vs 7 = 1 + 1 + 2 + 3 Dodge Blue Anaconda)

Yet it just manages to dodge both of her attacks. She sighs in frustration.

"You don't really have much of a choice in the matter." the woman replied with slight amusement as you try to get past her. She proves to be surprisingly agile because all of your attempts to get around her fail. You switch your focus on parrying before calling for Fenrir. He takes a second to realize what you wanted him to do and, with a shrug, he casts his spell towards her.

(Fenrir: 3 + 2 + 1 - 1 - 2 = 6 vs 10 = 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 4 ??)

The woman doesn't even react to the shadow fragment, not trying to dodge nor parry it. She only lets out a small chuckle as the bolt impacts with her armor, failing to do any damage whatsoever.
"Amateur." she mutter, glancing towards your ally.

You attempt to run back to your companions while she was distracted, but as you pass her she rushes towards you and grips your arm tightly. You turn around and with your free hand you cast Thunder Impulse on her.

(Mystel: 4 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 - 1 - 1 - 1 = 6 vs 23 = 9 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 3 Dodge ??)

In one fluid motion she lets go of your arm and sidesteps, dodging your discharge of electricity. The woman's lips twitch slightly in annoyance before she gives chase after you. Fortunately, you manage to get back to your companions, just as Carola healed her injuries. (+2 health, -3 pain)
The red orc exploits the fact that she can't retaliate and slashes towards her with his swords surrounded by a fiery aura.

(Red Orc: 5 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 1 = 13 vs 12 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 Parry Carola)

He manages to land a small blow on her right arm, the heat of his blades also inflicting small burns on both of them. You decide to finish off this stupid orc.

(Mystel: 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 = 5 vs 8 = 1 - 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 Parry Red Orc)

Unfortunately, your dai-katanas only meet the steel of your opponent's blades as he parries your attack.

You decide to continue stalking 'the wolf', which would be the red werewolf, as this situation seems pretty interesting to you. Anyway, the canine in question stays still for a few seconds after it's blue frined disappeared into the forest, looking like it was trying really hard to hear something. You see it's ear twitch for a few seconds before it suddenly moved it's jaws, as if uttering words, and a white flash filled your sight. Your body feels disoriented for a few seconds and when you come back to your senses, you realize that the magic keeping the void around you was no more. The werewolf turns it's head towards you.
"Hello, stranger. I sense raw magic around you." it says in a coarse voice. Canine jaws aren't very good at articulating words. "Your scent is odd... smells almost like wood. Who are you?" it suddenly asks. You can make out curiousity in it's tone.

And one more thing: you people seem to roll mainly for the unlikely events.

I can agree with this, assuming my current encounter is from a roll. Those stats and equipment... and two items being legendary to boot. A hopeless boss fight here.

"Sorry Carola, Fenrir, but its best that we retreat now! There's no way we can beat them in our current condition!"

Make sure to disengage from battle and start thinking about the situation. Right now, even with three of us, there's no way we can even injure the new arrival. In that case, retreat is the best option. While I'm pretty sure we can outrun the orc, the mysterious girl might be faster than us so we need to find a way to quickly escape or slow her down.

Now first, what's below the bridge? Is it a high drop towards a river of sorts? Does the river look deep? If all of those are true, then jumping off the bridge might be our best bet of escape. Although risky, its at least the fastest way we can escape. If not however, then escaping through our previous path is the best option.

In that case, is sparkcrystal powder flammable? If it is, throw both of my stock at the burning carriage when unknown girl gets close to it while chasing us, hoping that it can create a big enough flame to stop her for even just for a second.

While we're all retreating, ask Fenrir to use his magic on the mysterious girl if she's still chasing us or if either of my escape plans don't work. Casting magic while running is definitely hard but accuracy doesn't matter right now. What matters is that we escape.
