"Is it likely to be dangerous?" Lukas settled in next to Jake, his eyebrows together and faintly confused, his head cocked to the side as his weapon slipped away, back to the jingling little key around his wrist. He, too, poked the creature with one toe, considering it.

"We should probably take it somewhere it can be...contained." Killed, he thought, but didn't voice. He didn't know how they'd all feel about it.

"We're not too far from base, are we?" Sherry kept a grip on her weapon, not about to be caught off guard. "We ought to be able to drag it back before it wakes up." Surely they could.

"It's probably a good idea to get moving before any more show up. I, uh, found on of their underground lairs, I am fairly certain." With any luck, her lair finding and their enemy arriving was unrelated.

"But yeah, I know some folks who wouldn't mind a specimen to poke." She reached down to grab the horseman's foot. Sherry held no sympathy for the horseman. She was an enemy who would have no sympathy for them, after all. "Come on, we have reports to make."

If you guys make me choose then we roll some more. : D Lukas if fun and we should all rp more ok.

we could just always say this was the end of day one and time skip dropping off the horseman and then roll for tomorrow. >> I just like rp.

"Conscious, yes. Unconscious, well..."
Seriously, this was his first time actually CATCHING one of these things, and he would have agreed with Lukas. Killing it would have been better... if there was a way to actually permanently killing them.
Truth be told, he'd rather just head back and call it a wrap. The horseman alone should have been sufficient in proving the mission was a success, but when Sherry mentioned a lair, he knew he couldn't just leave it at that. It brought back unpleasant memories, the time he was nearly killed in one of those things, but if there was a lair close by, they couldn't just ignore it.

Jake sighed and crossed his arms.
"As much as I'd like this mission to be over with, we probably should check out that lair, or at least keep tabs on it. For now, let's just head back and drop the horseman off, and get some rest. We should be recharged and ready for whatever we might run into tomorrow."


GrnGriff
Sounds good!

You can have time skip and Lukas can roll next post if you'd like xD (I'm terrible at decisions too ahaha sorry)

((I rolled another horseman, but Zoo gave approval for me to reroll so we can have a bit more RP instead. :DDD if someone else does roll another horseman and you guys wanna RP it, maybe we could pull in a PC this time?))

They had taken the horseman in easily enough, had delivered it into care and been reassured about their bonuses -- though, when Lukas had asked when he'd get an opportunity to spend his supposed pay, everyone had suddenly been busy. Alas. No time soon, then, it seemed.

Through the portal again.

And the insects were back.

They blanketed the camp even as the crew reentered, leaving Lukas scowling out, nervously, to watch for a glimpse of dangerous figures through the thick mass of living creatures. Nothing, it seemed, but fluttering wings, and even those disappeared soon enough.

Quote:
11 - 20: An unusually large swarm of insects pass by the camp. They seem to pause and hover, blanketing the camp for several moments before moving on.

"Bugs," Sherry said, looking out at them with a shudder.They were something to be vigilant of. At the very least, they didn't seem to be a sign of an impending attack. She hoped.

"Okay. So the underground base was here," she pointed at a part of the map. He knee itched. It ached, even. She tried to ignore it. "I didn't see anything IN the base, but," she shrugged, "That doesn't mean they weren't out on patrol. Like the one you found." She grinned at Lukas.

And right about then a shadow fell over the window. Not bugs, a figure. It seemed the bugs HAD been an indicator of an attack.

Jake disliked bugs, but they were better than horseman. Marginally. If bugs were all they had to dealt with, Jake would have been happy to have called the mission and wrap and gone home. Of course, it was never that easy. Bugs were always an omen for something bad. Always.

GrnGriff
LOL it was meant to be.

Should we page someone? Or bypass it again? I'm so sorry I have no idea what to do either QQ

((I vote we get a PC!! Umm. I could throw my horseman in, but he's death, so it might not make total sense thematically. Do either of you know a good famine horseman we could pull in? C: ))

Jake's feeling was confirmed when another horseman appeared, much to his displeasure, but it seemed this one differed from the first. While he wasn't TOO familiar with the horsemen, he did understand that there were four clans, and each clan focused on a different apocalypse. Judging from her attire, she didn't seem to be famine, or at least not one that would normally inhabit the Sahara. If he was to make a guess, he would assume death, or war. But considering she lacked wings, death was probably the safer bet.

Why he was even trying to reason what clan she was was beyond him. What mattered now was that there was another horseman, and though they outnumbered her, one could never let down their guard around such a creature.

An entirely useless post, but at least we know who we're fighting now!

TY for volunteering Leev! ; u ;

Leev Post

A simple exercise, a simple mission to the desert with some comrades in Famine. She had come to learn and train; to reacquaint herself with the workings of the world. It was all about experience.

Things had been going smoothly, time quietly passing by. Not any of it time she would have regretted, for it had been challenging and informative. She had actually been enjoying it.

She was still enjoying it.

One scout had failed to report in. And while that could be anything or nothing, Leev hadn't been overly concerned with it. But she'd agreed to keep an eye open for anything of note.

The bugs had caught her attention; they led her straight to the camp. There were three of them. Three little humans. At least three, there could be more, for all she knew.

She stood in the sand and drew her sword. Let them come to her, if they dared.

HP: 40/40

"I don't think this much activity is normal," Sherry said, summoning her weapon. "Do you think there's just the one?"

"We'll have to find out -- " Maybe he was the weakest of them, but still -- Lukas dared to attack the horseman standing in front of a decisive line in the sand, throwing himself at her full force. His weapons drew lines in their wake, red streaks of glowing runes, and he was just grateful he hit. It would be embarrassing, if he hadn't.

Leev Post

And attack they did. Faster than she'd anticipated, harder than she'd been prepared for. He hit her with enough force that she had to step back to keep her feet beneath her.

So she smiled for him, because even if he had surprised her she was going to try and hide it. Besides, one good hit was luck. And Leev was fairly certain even the three of them would need more than luck to survive her.

She countered with short jab of her sword. "Lovely."

It wasn't normal, but then again, this was the Sahara. The location itself was pretty much known for Terrible Things Happening, and as hunters, well, they had their hands full with things that weren't normal.

"Let's just hope it's only one."
Even if they held the advantage in numbers, a single horseman still spelled trouble.
Jake saw that Lukas got a nice clean hit in, and grinned. Already off to a good start. He only hoped he could keep it going.
He summoned his blades and struck as the horseman went for Leev, though he didn't hit as hard as he'd like. Damn.

Sherry Post

Sherry nodded and then followed after Jake, moving into a run. She took one step, then another, and there was a twinge of pain in her knee. She flinched and tried to ignore it. But between the pain and a soft patch of sand, Sherry ended up tumbling forward. She got a mouthful of sand.
