The headache medicine that he tried to prepare for himself had been prepared, and Nuawahn was very sure he'd done it right, but it didn't do anything for his head. It didn't make it worse, though: that was apparently the job of the supervising Oban healer. Every time the man looked his way, Nuawahn felt his head spike with pain and the dazzling on the edges of his vision grow worse. It subsided when the man looked away, though Nuawahn's heart did not calm for a while after. The man made Nuawahn nervous, and he knew that one slip up, one mistake, could mean harm for Oggie and the others... that was the promise the Obans had made to him, and already they had shown him they meant to keep it.
Nuawahn, though, wanted to lie down and sleep, where there was only fog and no pain. Things were getting noisier now, lots more shouting and roaring and stomping. It distracted the healer, and Nuawahn took advantage of the distraction to drink more water, which helped as much as it did the first time (not at all)
And then, one shout rose above the others.
NUAWAHHHHHHN
It was unmistakable, hitting the wind healer's head like a battering ram. Confused, hopeful, and afraid, Nuawahn turned to behold his lover crashing through the tent.
”Oggie?!” he squeaked, confused.

Nkole - Prentice Location On the outskirts of camp. Being Sat on by RIshima. Post 4
There was a disturbance back at camp, the sound of the beast rampaging was certainly enough to cause the young man to be distracted. Already on edge his eyes went wide when suddenly a tallish figure came barreling towards him. He went to shout but the wind was knocked out of his lungs as he was tackled to the ground. Disoriented he looked up to see a pale faced native, his weight boring on top of his body he noted as well that he wasn't alone, but had two companions with him.
Despite feeling foolish for being pinned under the enemy he still put on his most defiant face, snarling at the native as he struggled to get out from under him. "You make a grave mistake if you think I would betray my people. I will sound the alarm and bring down the force of the army onto you."
Jerarda : Warrior. Location: With Rishima, Gerraden and Nkole post 6 Slipping out of the tree's she was impressed with the speed on which Rishma acted. Perhaps he had acted on impulse, but the distracted Oban was just too easy to capture it looked. Perhaps this fellow was important but he seemed rather untrained in the art of war. Was he really someone they could gain information from? As he spoke 'brave' words she only rolled her eyes.
"Die hard loyalists.." She managed as she unwrapped some of her hand wrappings and used her teeth to rip the fabric. "We won't learn anything here, its best if we take him back and question him. Less likely we will have him alerting his...'friends'. " Jerarda managed with a sneer as she leaned over the Oban's face and then gagging him so he wouldn't be able to grab any of his comrades in arms.
"There we go...now there will be no surprises from your end." She snickered making sure the gag was on tight.
Gerraden - Swordsman Location:With Rishima, Gerraden and Nkole Post: 6
Gerraden had hung back if only due to the fact Rishima had moved so quickly, and tackled the man they had wanted to capture. He felt little pings of love for his choosen one. Rishima was just so perfect in so many ways. Shaking his head trying to clear his thoughts he moved up to to find Jerarda already gagging the man.
Well they certainly wouldn't learn anything from him with the gag in his mouth. But he understood the necessity of it all. Looking over him he glanced over to where some vines hung, he wanted to be useful and thus moved over to grab several long pieces, before cutting them and looping them into loose coils in his hand.
"I have some makeshift rope we can use.." He managed as he moved over trying to not look too eager to help Rishima, but wanting to feel needed.
Rishima - Amazon/Tale Scout Location: Outskirts of the Oban camp with Jerarda and Gerraden, Leading Nkole Post: 8
A soft sigh escaped from Rishima's lips as the one that he had captured told him that he wouldn't betray his people and that he'd sound the alarm to bring down the force of the army onto them. Giving a shake of his head he said, "Maybe you haven't noticed but your army has more problems on their hands then the loss of one single man." He felt bad saying it, there could very well be people present in the camp that loved this particular man, but as it stood the giant beast that was rampaging was likely of more interest since it was far more of a risk. Giving the best smile he could muster he said, "Reconsider and this might not end up so bad for you."
Lifting his mismatched gaze as Jerarda appeared, gagging the Oban for him, he gave her a nod, "You have my thanks, dear sister." She was always there for him, always helping him, it was something that he could never thank her enough for he thought to himself. With the Oban silenced by the gag that she had put in place they would be able to keep him from making any noise that would draw any attention this way. It also meant that they had a prisoner to question now about what the camp contained. It might be difficult, he had vowed never to betray his people, but that didn't mean that he would never speak. The circumstances might arise that caused him to break his silence after all, circumstances like being brought back to the Tale camp as a prisoner for instance.
Turning his head as Gerraden joined them Rishima gave a smile, reaching out to take the 'rope' from him, "Good find, this will be most useful." He said, using the vines to bind their prisoner's hands together, using the slack as a sort of makeshift leash. Pushing himself to his feet he dragged the Oban up with him, "Come, we should consider falling back for now. We can watch from a distance, see if we can't figure out what is going on inside the camp, and if the rest of the scouts need us we can always tie him to a tree."
While he'd rather not leave the Oban alone but if it turned out that they were needed at some point to do more then just gather information and look after their prisoner he would. He wasn't about to let his allies get taken if he could help it, even those who weren't his sisters. They all needed to work together, Alkidike and Earthling alike, if they were going to deal with the Oban threat. As such they couldn't abandoned those that they came with unless there was no possible way to save them. He didn't like the idea of losing anyone but at the same time he couldn't sacrifice all three of their lives to save one, not when the real battle against the Obans hadn't even started yet.

Senja: Prisoner In ... Quartermaster tents I guess XD Post 9 (1/2 )
Senja was very impressed when Chalcedony just came in an easily picked up his shield. It weighed more than two of her! Or more... Then she wrinkled her nose and looked around. There was chaos everywhere and Chal was with an oban.... "Wait.. how did you get out of the pen? Not that I'm objecting! But... What is going on? Did that ice woman get the escape started?" There was loud sounds in the distance, screaming (angry screaming by the captain) and sounds nearby that sounded like battle. Guess this is it, she thought as Ete zipped to her and patted her face before burrowing into her hair. All this chaos must mean that we can leave without too much chase... hopefully.
"Thank you." She said with a smile at Lerin as she accepted his hand up, "I should be good to make a run for it at least! I may be pregnant but I'm not out of shape. .. Yet anyways." She looked over at Chal, "Um... the oban..?" Were they taking prisoners now as well?

Chalcedony - fortress Location: Moving toward freedom with Senja and Lerin, holding Shalvesta hostage (for her own good?) Post: 10
Chalcedony lifted a hand to scratch at his cheek with one finger, giving a bit of a laugh, "Ahh... haha... would you believe I knocked the gate over?" He asked when Senja asked him how he got out of the pen. Glancing around the area he gave a nod, "Yeah, but I don't think that is all that is going on. There is too much of a commotion from too many directions to be just that... not to mention there was a Shifter archer that was helping that wasn't amongst the prisoners." He said, not exactly certain what was going on but he felt that there was something of a larger scale going on, "Yes, the Zenan woman has taken a hostage from amongst the nobility. She and the others are on the move, hopefully they are on their way toward freedom. I couldn't leave you two behind though."
Turning back to them he gave a smile when the male Shifter asked if Senja needed aid, glad to see that he was willing to help her as well. When she said that she should be good to make a run for it he smiled, "Good, we will need to cover a lot of ground quickly, before they get organized." The more ground they could cover before anyone noticed them the better, but that meant moving sooner then later, before they were able to assemble and get the chaos outside the tent under control.
"The Oban...?" He murmured, glancing over toward the woman who had led him here. He starred at her for a long moment, thinking about it, before he gave a sighing sound, "We can't leave her. I can't say that I trust that Captain of theirs when even the Obans don't seem to." The man was a pervert as well, there was no telling what he might do to the woman if he thought that she had aided him. Who was to say that he wouldn't declare her a traitor just to take advantage? The idea was one that made Chalcedony wrinkle his nose at the thought, "Yeah, leaving her here is a terrible idea. As for you..." He took a step forward, using one fist to cold c**k the Oban guard, letting him drop to the ground unconscious. He felt a bit bad, knocking the poor guy out, but he didn't want to drag anymore people into this then he already had.
Reaching out Chal caught hold of Shalvesta by the wrist, "Alright, all of you, we are leaving." He said to not only the Oban woman but to his fellow Shifters as well.

"I've done nothing to you! No rape, torture or death! At least not before all of this! The Captain seems to think you can all be talked into surrendering, but he's an idiot! My father would have his head!" Of course she wasn't actually sure if her father ranked above the Captain or not. It wasn't something she paid much mind to. Her father was in charge of men, ranked highly, and would kill her when she got home if the savage races didn't do it first.
She wanted to turn and spit in the man's face, but it didn't seem like the best idea at the moment. Instead she curled her lip and glared. "If you plan to keep my friends and I, you may well have to drag me."

Nae refrained from shaking her head. Ichil was too fiery for her own good right now. It made her proud that her friend would act so bold. If only her father could see that as an asset to him, how she's representing her family well. "Ichil, please. Just don't listen to them. Even if they did let us go what do you think the Captain would do? I had a bad feeling about him and he was willing to just sacrifice us! Just think..they'll want to question us obviously, maybe we can convince them! We're not exactly like our superiors so maybe our way will work." It was really the only option. Would she answer their questions if she was asked? What if they didn't take their advice. She knew by saying how she felt about the Captain was somewhat traitorous for their people but she couldn't help it. She just wanted to do what was right. Her eyes refocused on where the Zenan woman was pushing her towards and back on Sebastien who was leading them out of the camp. Why was he doing this? He would be much more of use to her father and their people if he just had stayed in the camp. Maybe he could escape once captured and report back! They would just have to see. "As for you..." She said pointedly at BarAmal. "We have no control over the Captain's men. If you give me the description of the one who took your friend I will search him out and see that he is punished. Give me all their descriptions for that matter. You were all captured but you should have been treated better. Many of us know that but many didn't have what was needed to do anything about it. So get off your high Arwa already." Naevius was obviously getting annoyed and much less noble than she normally was.

Tale Scout: Kiyelt Post 10*
Kiyelt rushed forward to help escort the group through the forest. He eyed the destruction behind him with a mix of dread and lust. Now there was something to see, such a powerful beast and doing so much damage to the camp which was bad for the Obans and good for them. He did feel a little sorry if one or two got stepped on..that would be an awful way to be injured. He shuddered a bit. Then he looked at the captives, wondering if the Obans would launch a similar mission to save their own peoples. Then again these two were only a small percentage of the big hoard overall..so who knew.
Kiyelt wanted to get back to their own camp least he miss that lizardy thing in action. He glanced behind him, having lost Yelena for a short moment.
Ceyede: Post 1/2 Location: Outside the Captured Camp---> Frantically digging away at the hole
Ceyede could hear the commotion in the camp but could scarcely make it out. it would seem that the captured are now taking captives and making their way out of the camp? Or something about giant beasts... No matter. Whatever Achlys found in there it was sure taking some time for her to get back.
Achlys arrived with Kida in tow and began frantically digging to catch up with her masters work. The hole was deep and long enough on the outside, but hardly the case on the inside.
"Lys?" Ceyede called, "You've gotta get out of there.. I don't know what-" She saw the delicate fingers of her sister slip under the fence and placed a hand over them ,"Kida?! How the- Why the-" Ceyede pressed her hands to her face. the world was closing in around her, her chest felt tight, "Dyakida. It's Ceyede... I'll get you out, just... Hang on... The hole out here is much wider and deeper, but I've been having some difficulties digging into the camp because of a massive root... I have to cut it; there's no efficient way around it. I started working from the bottom of it, and i'm about half way through."
As they had been talking Achlys had unearthed part of the root and began gnawing on it.
"No, Lys... Keep digging. I'll work on the root. We'll get you out in no time Dyakida. I swear it." Ceyede returned to hacking away at the root with an arrow head as her companion dug out the opposite side. It wasn't long before lys had the side matched, but the blisters on Ceyede's hands had busted open and began bleeding, making it close to impossible to work on the root.
Pressing her nose to the fence, Achlys could smell the blood of her master and began to whimper. Despite her masters previous commands she continued to gnaw away at the root until it busted in two. with the obstacle cleared Achlys nuzzled through the rest of the dirt and emerged on the other end of the fence.
"Alright, Kida. you should be able to fit now... We should hurry, It's a wonder they haven't found me yet." Aisha be praised for that... Whatever was going on in the camp had their attention elsewhere. Which made this escape possible
DraconicFeline
XD you're doing fine. I'm sorry I've been so absent. Been dealing with pushed off personal issues, and it was my weekend to work in the pharmacy so they had me open to close all weekend then closing monday... It sucked. THEN I had like four massages yesterday and one didnt show up ~_~ buggers. So that brings me to today which is my fluff muffin's birthday~ And I shall post XD
Dyakida – Alkidike Artisan (Prisoner) Oban Camp: Escaping??!! With Achlys
Eventually, she came to the fence: she knew it was the fence because she was able to rest her free hand on it and feel the solid wood that had once been a living Jahuaran tree.
”I can't get through this.” she said quietly to the Radaku, hope fluttering in her breast as she realized that she was still penned in. At least she had a protector – Radaku were fierce.
But then, how had the radaku gotten in? Had it slipped in behind the guards?
Unlikely Radaku were fiarly large.
Had it squeezed through a smaller space – how small a space could a radaku fit through, anyway? ”Achlys... how do I get out? How did you get in?” Then she realized that Achlys was moving, rhythmically, under her hand. She heard an odd scraping sound and crouched, feeling for where the radaku's paws would be. Achlys stopped making the scraping sound as her delicate fingers found an anomaly in the ground.
A depression
She felt it, and it ran under the fence. ”You went under.” she said, realizing.
There was hope after all.
Achlys began his digging again, and Dyakida began to help with her hands as well: she wanted to get out of this place.

BarAmal Captured tents
The nobles around him were pitched and irritating. “No you just came with those who slew a settlement and took prisoners while you all watched like such benevolent overseers.” He nodded at the one he was escorting. “His head, our heads oh yes you and yours have done nothing at all to us.” He gave her a glare of steel that matched the little sass’s own. Did she really think she was so innocent when she was along with these barbarians to help kill his people? “Then I will keep that in mind if you fall.” His tone left no room for argument as he looked at the other with plain skepticism. “So this is not what your superiors are like?” He gave a slight tilt toward the angry woman who was talking of heads rolling a moment ago. She was blood thirsty, angry, and stubborn as a rock. He also doubted that the woman could do anything to help still she was looking at him with different eyes. His own flicked to the side for a moment deciding before he opened his mouth and gave a description of the hybrid and the guard who took her. The others who harmed him he didn’t care about nor even attempt to describe. Saving that girl who had done no wrong other than a wish to see what was rightfully hers mattered. His voice was more subdued as he spoke of the girl his pain inside leaking out for a moment. It was his fault and his idea though he could never have known that kind of guard would come. Inside she was his burden and his heart would not let it go.
Jerarda : Warrior. Location: With Rishima stalking Nkole post 7 Jerarda hated to admit that Gerraden could be useful when he put his mind to it. Though he was still a strange clingy male who really had no right to claim Rishima as his own. Still she sighed as their captive was tied up and scanned the area to see if any one was about. They couldn't risk their cover.
Gerraden of course couldn't help but feel himself puff up in pride. After all he was of use to Rishima and he was happy for that. Though the look he received from Jerarda was hard to interpret. With their captive now bound and gagged he wondered was the next step would be.

Nkole - Prentice Location On the outskirts of camp. Being Sat on by RIshima. Post 5
It was hard to really resist when one was now bound and gagged. He did struggle as best as he was able to, after all his pride wouldn't allow himself to go peacefully. But the cords were strong...for jungle vine and it was very hard for him not to gag on the cloth that was tied around his mouth. It tasted of earth and sweat...it was disgusting.
"Its beautiful." She said looking at the rampaging beastie. "Hmm, what to do, what to do," she tapped a finger against her lip. "Who do you think would have the most impact in killing? Should we provide cover for the others or just look for people to squish?" She scrunched up her face. She didn't like thinking tacticly on the fly.
"Where is the captain Ruelash? Is that him screaming orders in the distance? Wouldn't getting him be the most effective thing to do while we are here and he is conviniently close and not well protected presumably...maybe we caught him in his pajamas."
