Dead Nightmares

With a simple point backwards to the man I... well... to put simply, crushed most of his internal organs. "He is, but I doubt you'll go outa your way for him... Pretty out of your element here in the shadow forets huh?" I ask the cleric woman... she.. didn't look much like a cleric now that i saw her... "..yea sure your a cleric of Sarenrea? Ones I see are more fotne in chain mail then not... and knee deep in undead."
 
She gives a wry smile. "Yes, I have walked a slightly different path in my service to my Goddess. I started out as a simple monk, but had a revelation one day, a wonderful moment that changed things for me forever. I became a cleric of Sarenrae shortly thereafter, but I still retain my martial skills to fight with my hands."
 
The guard is shaking inside the wagon and he starts to talk, the closest town I think is...Himinister if im correct
 
"Well at least you're useful for something," Hedric said as he put his chin on his hand. He looked over back at the bard who seemed to be really enjoying himself as he continued eating his meal. "Hurry up so we can head to Himinister."
 
"I see... I am no cleric myself, I took the path of a ranger. mainly because... I..." the last part was abit of a mumble... it was embarrassing to admit my love of trapmaking... it came so easily to me, and the thought of your enemy dangling humiliatingly from a snare... it was just... wonderful... not to mention you could beat them senseless while they hung upsidedown, but that was an after thought.


"My, my family comes from a long line of clerics... I should be more prideful of that fact... but it causes me a great deal of trouble... as you can see."
 
Andarra laughs. "I don't even know where we are, let alone any rumors about it. I have a feeling that I am far from home. Why don't you tell us what you know?"
 
"w-well...they say that creatures of darkness appear in the light here! that's why we came on a cloudy day, but you can feel it can you? the feeling your being watched?"
 
Hedric looked towards the guard as he spoke. The way he described the woods they were in was vaguely familiar. He felt like he knew the name put he couldn't quite pinpoint it. "Do you know where we are relative to direction?" he asked.
 
The cleric looks down at the guard. "You obviously did not come out here from a city 100 miles away. Where were you coming from?"
 
Hedric contemplates this for a moment when suddenly he realized a contradiction in his speech. "You said that the closest town was Himinister and now you're saying there's a city 100 miles North. How close is Himinister?" he asked as he gave a questioning look to the guard.
 
Andarra frowns. "You've been traveling over a hundred miles to bring us here in order to kill us? Is there no closer place that would work to end our lives, or is there something special about these woods that brought you here?"
 
"And so I see... How do we know that you won't have comrades waiting for us in the nearby town? For all we know you could be leading us into a trap," Hedric said, his suspicions surfacing once more.
 
"I swear!! we use messaging hawks and the fact that im out numbered and out powered means I have nothing to gain from hurting you guys! I just wan't to see me family again!!" he says crying
 
(welp five pages, could be worse I guess. I will timeskip a few bits starting out back at when I told everybody to leave then started eating.)


I look at the stranger sitting down next to me, he was the one firing the magic missiles if I was correct. He looks rather average (i have no idea how you look so i go by your character decription), but he is quite ballsy wearing a robe with such embroideries freely.


"Nihil." I answer his first question shortly, then laugh at his second statement. It takes a while for me to calm down but as I do my face freezes.


"I would be careful with that statement, listen to another song and judge again if my art is fit to be called 'lovely' " With that much said I stand up and walk to the carriage. No one is making any attempt to get going just yet . . . *So they completely ignored me . . . Unpleasant, but I guess it is common, these guys seem like decent fighters, the independent type.* I sigh, I really looked forward to get my hands on henchman. *Can't have everything*


_______________________________


I waited by the carriage, watching the actions unfold with a smile. The strange crow had surprised me, but only stirred up my interests in this place even more. For now I would leave, but I had a feeling I would return sooner than expected.


As the fighter approached the carriage himself I tell him, not quite friendly: "So you guys also realized this is not the time to be chatting huh. About time." Looking at the rest of the party, as well as the still timid and shaking prisoners, I turn slightly angry again (how dare you ignore me completely xD ) "GET YOUR ASSES MOVING!" And with that said I take a seat inside the prison carriage, claiming and entire part for myself (i sit with my back to the riders). Yet again, it took them forever to get moving . . .


*They fight well, but they seem to suck at everything else . . . I shall give them some more time before hastily deciding. . . *


________________________________


Slowly but surely we get ready to depart. From listening I seem to have gotten some insight on everybody. The woman was some sorta warpriest as it seemed, follower of Sarenrae . . . *so she must be a devoted healer . . . that could be a very useful tool indeed.* as for her goddess, I didn't mind. Sarenrae and my Queen were no friends, but they had no further quarrel either. They simply ignored each other.


Aiden on the other hand. . . . being a worshiper of Calistra . . . .wow. I smile, getting the feeling that he and I should have a conversation later on.


As for the goblin and the average looking fella . . . Not much they said about themselves, but the bearded male seemed to be a mage, now that I recalled his magic missile seemed to carry some unique properties, not to mention the number of missile he summoned proofed that he was quite skilled. As for the Goblin, it was surprising indeed that her face was so much nicer to look at, as than usually with her kind of people. She still acted weird thou . . . But, flying a dire bat and that tool she used before . . . she might be promising as well. The rest of the prisoners had not done much so far. They probably were commoners, folk that had been in the wrong place at the wrong time. If it were up to me, I would leave all of them here, they were useless, but it had already been made obvious that my words held no power.


I sigh as slowly everybody takes their seat. "Asmodeus' shit itself be praised, you guys made it. Now let's go already, even I am getting goosebumps out here.

Sooo . . . for now I shall ignore Techys' IG comment about me hurrying up, as I was sleeping and unable to even go slowly as simply being afk. *glares at you all xD *


@Orikanyo don't forget you made a knowledge geography check and know where we are.
 
As the last of the prisoners finally boarded on the wagon, Hedric turned towards Aiden. "Well, I guess you can start moving now," he said as he opened his backpack and took out his waterskin. He put the container to his mouth as he greedily began to drink, his dehydration slowly going away. The coolness of the liquid washed down his throat and the dryness went away, leaving a satisfied taste in his mouth despite water not even having flavor.. He had never been so thirsty in his life. Then again, he had never been in a prison carriage before. A first time for everything I guess...


Putting his water skin into his lap, he turned his head to look up at the sky as the darkness seemed to swallow him, along with the ominous trees that had surrounded them. Judging by high the moon was, he could safely guess that it was well deep in the night. With this, he turned his head towards the cleric. "So Andarra, still nothing coming to mind about how and why you got here? Cause I sure hell remember why I'm here," he said as he took another swig of his water skin. The moonlight slightly illuminated the worn out path but it didn't allow them much view of what was ahead, maybe only a few feet.


Suddenly realizing that they needed better lighting for the dark road, Hedric mentally slapped himself and set down his water skin. He touched his wand as he casted Light, causing it to illuminate the area. "My bad, I forgot you didn't have much light. Now you can really start moving this thing," he said, turning to look at the hulking man with a sheepish smile. He was sure someone else could've done it but he was the one who told Aiden to start moving in the first place. To say the least it was slightly embarrassing. After making a brief apology, he turned his attention back to the cleric to receive her response.

I reach into my back pack and take out a map and a compass, placing them beside me for ease of use. "Keep a hand on those, I will be focusing on keeping us on the road, we'll keep going until we break out of this forest, and then we will head towards the nearest town." i say to the Cleric... and pretty much everyone else. "lets go.. Yah!" I snap the reigns, causing the horses to go forward as the reigns made a satisfying whistling sound through the movements... I truely wish my mind didn't head back to the whip lessons my mother and auntie gifted me so long ago...
