Bout time this was put up. Internet went out, so I finished up the turn and went off to do other things. And upon coming back, its back up, so here it is!
Also, finally a bit of action! But, not too much speech this time around.
And, once again, any changes that should be in your sheets, or shouldn't be, let me know!
Turn 20
Group 1: Flat, Astor, Xix, Gaweir, Abronychus, Zak
Flat: I will bring one other person with me to the village, if someone wants. If possible, Xix, Zak, or Abronychus; since Xix knows more about what to do, Zak has cool boots, and Abronychus has the best Riding skill.
Astor: I head to the local well to get some water for the meal, looking north at whatever that sound was. If it is anything important, I will drop everything and look at it.
Xix: Follow the list!
Gaweir: Well I suppose...Flat was it? Is taking my meal over to where I am, and since I don't want to trek all the way over to the well, boil the water, and wait for it to cool down (unless its some sort of magic well?!) I'll just drink from my waterskin. Then eat. After a quick meal, I'll get back to work.
Abronychus: I go investigate the noise, afterwords, conversation!
Zak: I take some quick swigs from a canteen and go to investigate the noise from the top of a roof near the noise. I make sure not to be seen by whatever made the noise.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Entering the blacksmith's workshop, Flat noticed Gaweir, still hard at work.
"Squawk!"
Gaweir looked up from the now partially dented, hot piece of metal lying before him to look at Flat, who was holding a bowl of soup in his beak.
"Thanks."
Gaweir took the bowl from Flat, and began to eat, taking an occasional drink from his waterskin as he ate. Flat, meanwhile, left the hut and flew over to the HQ, where Abronychus, Astor, and Zak were moving to the north, where the sound was heard. While moving, Zak took a few drinks from his waterskin. While they went somewhat cautiously towards the north, Xix began to ponder on what was going on. How could everything connect? The government had something to do with what happened, and she could still connect to the internet, thus they couldn't be off the original world, could they? It made little sense that the internet could reach this place, but nothing else. She then took out her camera, with the picture of the purple sky. Examining the moon and stars, she realized it was the same sky as her world as well. However, it was misplaced. Mapping out what stars were present in the picture, Xix went online and got what tools she could. Looking through some she had, she found the perfect one: a program which gave a three-dimensional representation of the sky. Lining her picture up with the sky, and determining its perspective relative to the ground, she was able to pinpoint her location. It was the location she should be at, according to latitude and longitude, but on the internet there were no maps of her world, only of some strange, alien one. Using it in correspondence with her star chart, however, it stated she was in the middle of a desert.
Then something came to her. The internet held a completely alien world and people, talking of far different things from where she originated. Except, however, for the government. A completely different internet came to her position, aside from the single government site. This, however, made absolutely no sense, considering how the internet functions. What could explain that?
Astor stopped for a moment at the well, lowering the attached bucket to retrieve a quick drink, while Zak, Abronychus, and Flat waited, looking around, especially towards the north. Astor brought the bucket back up, now filled with water, and took a drink, before the four continued forward. Zak went to the east side of the large hut, and went up the crude ladder to the top of the hut, where he looked north, while the other three went to the west of the hut, and cautiously moved forward. And rightfully so.
With little warning, two Rahn inya ambushers jumped out from the tree line, armed with large daggers. Flat, with quick reflexes, managed to grab the first with his beak before it landed a single blow, and threw it with great force into the large hut's outer wall. The second, leaping at Astor, was met in the face with his sandal, and sent backwards as well. Figuring it a good a time as ever to practice, Astor brought his hands to the front of him, palms open, and began to concentrate. The Rahn inya he had kicked got up, staggering slightly, but regained his posture and rushed again at Astor. However, as small bolts of energy went between his fingers, he stopped the creature once again, a small bolt crackling forward and striking it in the upper left shoulder.
Whipping out his trident, Abronychus approached the other ambusher that Flat had thrown. It was also staggering, but was not regaining its composure as quickly. With ease, as the creature accidentally fell back again against the wall, Abronychus impaled it in the chest, quickly ending its life. The other Rahn inya, who had dropped its dagger from the shock, but was otherwise still fit to fight, was quickly grabbed again by Flat, who, still feeling a bit hungry, stomped him to the ground a few times to kill him, then ate him.
"So, did a few Rahn inya get lost, or do they have no sense of tactics?"
"They have a sense of tactics alright! It was a diversion!"
The four looked over to the west, where they saw the lines holding the pans had been cut and disarmed, and a large force was moving into the village. Zak promptly leaped off the building, landing on his feet and rolling with ease, and following the other three, who moved towards them, realizing Xix was alone. The hut to the far north west had been set afire, but the flames were far too large to put out by this point. Many villagers were also running to the east, to the blacksmiths, and especially to the large hut. A few were not so lucky, and had already been killed.
Xix continued to research on the internet, until a notice came up. Her search for the site's password was complete, and had found the correct password! Xix grinned and opened up the site's page, and typed in the password. However, moments away from hitting the enter key, she found herself at the south side of the hut, crashed just below the shelf, and quite dizzy. Looking towards the door in a slight daze, she saw a Rahn inya, but one unlike any she had seen before. It was far larger, over Zak's 6', possibly 7', or even 8. It also had far larger muscles, but kept the same, aggressive, enraged face. It held in its hand a large metal club, studded on its round cylindrical head.
Thinking quickly, Xix lifted her staff and attempted to force the new threat out the door. However, it was far too heavy, even without the mace. She tried a second time as it approached, this time trying to blast away its weapon, however its grip was too strong. Xix took out her scimitar and swiped at the beast, but it easily parried and bashed her left hand, forcing her to release it. It then grabbed her staff and whipped it away as well. He raised his mace, and prepared to strike her head one last time, but a voice called from behind it.
"Grak! Glan tegul anasien!"
A Rahn inya came through the doorway, looking similar to the shaman that was killed before. The beast lowered its mace, and instead gave Xix a "light" punch in her stomach, winding her, and then gave her another in the head, knocking her unconscious. The last thing she saw was the beast dragging her out the western window into the jungle, and the shaman close behind, grinning.
Gaweir, meanwhile, had made great progress with the knob and hinges. He had finished one hinge, although it was very slightly dented, and quite crude, and was working on the nail needed for it. However, he put away his hammer as he heard screaming from outside, and rushed out to see what was happening. Instantly, an arrow went straight for his head, but he managed to dive forward and roll before it hit him. Getting back up, and lifting his shield forward, he rushed in, sword drawn.
At a glance, the force consisted of 6 armed with bows and 6 armed with swords, as well a 2 or 3 ambushers behind the tree line. There was also, behind a few of the sword Rahn inya, another of the large, brutish mace wielders.
