Eleniel felt one particular movement, amongst the rest, that had begun to stray away. The life force, or rather the dark force began to travel down, and eventually to the level the group was trapped in. 'One is coming,' she thought, until the undead one had spoken up yet again, explaining further into this "plan". But they were running out of time to prepare, one of the cultists was nearing. She turn on her heels from the bars and moved past the bodies in her way to reach dark part of the cell in the back. The remains of a few bodies before the current occupants, lay scattered. Their flesh had melted and mended into the harsh, stone floor, acting as a decaying glue still holding onto bones. She knelt beside one body, its skull against the wall, and its rib cage exposed,"Amin hireatha mellonamin (Im sorry friend)," she whispered, a small hand holding a rib before jolting a pull, the snap echoing between the damp walls of the cell,"You serve a purpose even after death," she added, before proceeding to break a few more and store them in her waist band. The girl felt naked, and lighter than usual with out her outer layer that served as armor. They left her with thin clothing that kept the armor from chaffing against her skin. At least her boots were still with her, they made her an inch or two taller. It may not be a drastic difference but it did a number on her confidence.


Aside from the collected ribs, she picked up a loose chain, it was about three feet in length, maybe a little less. She coiled it and held it one hand, while the strongest in the bunch moved forward to ambush the stray cultist coming to retrieve them. And that they did. As soon as the cell door opened they attacked. The Usquener (smelly one) was the first to attacked, and once the cultist was assumed dead, he stripped.him of his cloak and mask, revealing a faceless body. How disturbing. The elf grimaced at the sight and wondered what kind of ungodly creature gave birth to that. She didnt recall ever coming across a being like that, in all her years of living. But she had more important things to think about.


They had to get moving, and quickly to catch the others above off their guard if they wanted a chance to escape. The Agaryulnaer (blood sucker) had broken free thanks to the undead man. The two spoke a little. Eleniel was moving past them when she heard the living decaying body label her as "Sugar Blood" and advising the vampire to "save her for later". The petitw elf stopped in her tracks, glaring at them for a second and pulling the chain her hand taught. The clinking serving as a silent threat before rolling her eyes and proceeding to the open door. At last the group was free to move out of the crowded space now, that is until the undead one once again mentioned something about being the bard's prisoners after he approached the demon guitarist. Eleniel raised an eyebrow in a 'youve-got-to-be-kidding-me' fashion. They just broke out and now they were going back into chains, at least temporarily. She rubbed at the marks on her neck again, feeling the tender pain. Then, she rubbed each of her wrists, hoping they would stay free from the pains of chains. In any case she was willing to do what had to be done in order for this to go smoothly, and be free from the group she was stuck with. My did she grow anxious to break away from this unlikely bunch.


Not caring to wait, the elf slipped past the group, ignoring their presence entirely and continued down the corridor. The chain gripped firmly in one hand, she searched for her equipment before an escape route. She could not leave with out her bow, daggers and armor, all forged long ago by her people. It was all she had, and she was either going to reacquire it, or die trying. The light elf sensed another life on the other side of one door, and held the chain in both hands, unaware of who is behind. She was cautious, as usual. When the door opened, she raised her hands to make a move but froze when she noticed it was one of the members of the group. Azure eyes blunked for a moment, wondering how the girl got in there in the first place, but immediately redirected her thoughts back to her belongings. And with the girl already beating her to the location where the prisoner's belongings were being held, she figured she wasnt the only one desperatw for her things. Eleniel squeezed her self between the door way and blind folded woman, sensing dark magic as she walked by.


Eleniel felt more lively as she spotted her things. Her armor and clothing were tossed in a heap, which she was quick to retrieve. She slipped on the pieces, tightened the laces of her boots, and laced the bracers on her arms (see her armor on her CS). Her mask was tucked in the inside chest pocket of armor, then she moved to her quiver hanging on a wooden peg in the wall. The abundance of arrows still accounted for, and packed snugly in their container. She pulled it from the wall and quickly threw the strap over her shoulder and neck. Next were her long daggers that she found among other rusted swords and short blades. She picked them up, the Eldar silver reflecting under the same faint glow. Eleniel gave a quick twirl of the blades, savoring the familiar weight and feel in her hands before returning them to their proper holster in the quiver. She collected the rest of her throwing daggers and placed them in the hidden pockets of her armor: boots, sleeves, waist, chest. At last she snatched her bow, her most prized possesion. It had a history, used in battle by her father, then passed to her when she became the captain of her King's guard. The bow helped her to feel connected with her people. She finished suiting up, and turned to the door again, string her bow on her back like the quiver, with the chain still wrapped in one hand.

"Hahaha! I owe you corpse. I owe you big time." said Ether as he shot up from the ground and treasured the feeling of movement. He had been contained for almost three days. The muscles get incredibly stiff after staying in one position for so damn long. "Ahhhh GODS! The feeling of movement! Oh how I missed you!" Ether was half yelling this. Enough to get his enthusiasm across but quiet enough so that the cultists upstairs didn't hear the commotion. The vampire went about to cracking every joint he possibly could. Freedom of movement. Something nearly every single living thing took for absolute granted. Don't even know how valuable it is until you can't move a single muscle for hours, or in Ether's case, days.


It wasn't long that the other prisoners started to rally and rise. Each making their respecting decisions to stand together with one another, even if it was a very temporary alliance. One prisoner in particular caught his attention. The lycanthrope that sat a ways from him. The incredibly injured one. She seemed to be quite a hand at using shadow magic. She drew upon its power to mend her own wounds though it only heal the minor ones. The smell of her blood was still fresh in his nostrils. She then stood and Ether couldn't help but notice they strange pulses of dark magic coming from her. It took him a solid second and a half for him to realize that Roxii was actually blind! She was using the darkness as some kind of echo location. A brilliant strategy actually. Sight beyond sight. (Easter egg for Necromancer Ether lol) As she exited the chambers, Ether follwed close behind and came to an abrupt halt as the Lythari seemingly phased out of existence. He could still feel her presence before him, due to being a creature of darkness himself, but his physical senses could not detect her. Again, Ether was impressed. He met very, very, VERY few beings that could phase walk as she had.



He felt her presence move beyond the door for a moment. After several more pulses, the door swung open and her physical form was there once more. Multiple scents hit him all at once as the door opened and he noticed that they all belonged to someone within the dungeon. Including his own crimson equipment.
"I'll be damned....nice work wolf. Color me every shade of impressed." The male said genuinely. He gave her a slight tap on the shoulder as thanks and acknowledgement but made sure to make it light. She was still pretty badly injured after all. It took him a moment to track down his own gear and as soon as he did, the crazed hunger resurfaced. "Yes! YES!" Ether exclaimed as he practically dove into the crate that contained his belongings. Within was all beautiful ten vials of blood that Ether always kept on his person, Both for combat and for feeding should he have no other alternative. He had no other alternative....With incredibly shaky hands and quickening, shallow breaths, Ether popped open the vials and guzzled down three of the rather large vials in a matter of twelve seconds. Twelve incredibly messy, bloody seconds.


As the vampire finished the last drop of the third vial, he let out a blood drenched breath of desperate satisfaction.
"Oh...sweet singular god....that....THAT right there. I needed that so badly...... Alright. Ahem. Alright everyone. I'm back to 100%. Not that any of you care but I'm sure it's comforting to know that I'm not going to attack any of you in a blood crazed frenzy anymore right? Ah don't answer that I know I'm right." The elder vampire was genuinely back to his former self before imprisonment. He dawned his scarlet garbs and ebony armor, strapping his dagger and vials across his waist. His rings also found their way back to him along with his enchanted saber. Having his gauntlets back on his person was probably the best thing he felt next to the blood and his amazing sword. "Alright. Ready for battle then but before we go and slaughter these faceless fucks like the mortal cattle they are, who needs their wounds mended? I know a lot of you are injured and I'd rather go into this fight with healthy killers rather than half dead killers. You especially Lycan. You need it more than anyone here." He directed specifically at Roxii. The vampire barely even noticed that the lower half of his face and neck was still slick with fresh blood and his eyes were luminescent. Practically glowing a seemingly dangerous crimson glow. Though it only meant he had recently fed and was relatively happy with that. Of course, a recently fed Ether was also a dangerous Ether.

Daecante chuckled at the melodramatic response by the vampire in their mists, "Glad to know, have a nice day sir" he replied jokingly to the mans unwarranted antics with a small wink of his eye. Then the dead man handed him the robes from the previous cultists, who was revealed to be a mannequin of sorts, and explained to him to act as the previously killed cultist. He took the robes in hand and examined them in close detail. Wearing the robes of a creepy cultist they just murdered in cold blood? Well it wasn't the weirdest thing he has done, after all he is wearing the bones of dead animals. "Very well then, I shall play my part well, but how do we know the res will follow the plan?" the bard inquired of the dead man, he had no problem with him acting as the cultist but what about the others? He was sure that half of them would disregard the plan and would be happier either blindly charging forward or just trying to escape, and ultimately die, by themselves.


Either way he dawned the robes after existing the cell, dismissing his sentient guitar for a later time as to decrease the odds of him being identified as a non-cultist.
"Shall we go then my "prisoners?" he joked towards the others before his eyes catching a few of the others starting to head towards other rooms, he followed behind them and simply watched the two elves and the vampire acquire their gear, the blind assassin enveloping herself in darkness before traversing into the storage room and opening it for the rest of the group.


He chuckled lightly, his sources finally proven to be true, before entering the storage area and grabbing his sheathed bone katana and drawing it.
"Glad to have you back old friend" Daecante whispered to himself before sheathing it once more and placing it under his newly found robes, "borrowed" from their previous owner. He then turned to face the blind assassin and asked her"Peditham hi sui vellyn?" He could sense the suspicion and slight animosity she harbored towards him, and rightfully so, and simply wished to put that at ease.

Darrius looks down at the crumpled form of the cultist and lets go of the chain, which falls to the floor, the chains clinking loudly against the hard stone. He sighs and looks up at the corpse-man with a grin. "Well, brains an' beauty. You're the total package, Gorgeous," he says with a playful wink at the rotting biomancer. He isn't actually interested, of course, the smell alone would turn a skunk away, but he can never help himself when it comes to flirting. He grimaces, though, when the biomancer removes the clothes from the cultist, revealing a featureless thing underneath. Havne. Yeah, that's creepy as fuck... he thinks to himself as the bard is offered the clothes.


The corpse moves over to help out the vampire as the bard dons the robes and Darrius has to slide out of the way of the small blindfolded girl who walks right out the door, ignoring the others. She's followed right behind by the newly freed vampire and the ass-tree elf. Darrius resists the urge to follow, though. As much as he wants to just find the other cultists and bash their skulls in, his last battle and his lack of equipment makes him hesitant to face off with them again, at least by himself. The bard finally finished putting on the robes and heads out into the corridor, Darrius follows behind, albeit a bit hesitantly. For all he knows, any one of the people in this group could be spies for the cultists that was planted to lead them astray.

    _Location_



    Storage Room












Al watches patiently as the whole group executes the plan. The cultist fall down easily, like funny people wearing dark drapes then crumple like rag dolls but with more blood. The music guy gets to wear the stuff as Shitty man continues to be the unspoken leader of the group. Al only looks around, pretty happy the its odd group already knows what to do. So far the Shitty man, the green pretty lady, and the lady elf seems to know what they are doing so it wouldn't mind trusting their decisions.


Al stays silent with only its stomach growling to voice its current mood. A giddy feeling bubbles inside because its never traveled with such a large group before. Maybe they could tell Al all their adventures now that they are stuck with it. The half-avariel watches the wolf sneaky lady presses forward to open a door; it hums at the interesting skill it witnessed. The elf lady goes next when the door swings wide open. Al goes forth seeing that not many people have taken much notice to its presence; it'll introduce itself more appropriately when the rude mask robe people are gone.



Al skips on Light feet, as it enters the room but making sure it doesn't interfere with the other members of the group. Warm air emits from the skill as Al spots its belongings. Luckily for the half avariel, it doesn't carry that much and its gear is not complex. With Light Feet, Al equips its gear while the others are not looking, making sure to cover its burn marks fully. Fellow strangers have said how they disliked Al's appearance so it has taken the cation of being fully covered; it didn't want potential acquaintances to avoid the half avariel. But seeing that a few of the current group look funny- specially Shitty man- they wouldn't mind. The horrid lighting did provide cover for it and probably most of the group.



Equipping the clothes on with Light Feet is like miniature wind pushes but on clothes in Al's mind. The action wasn't a blur but one would have to watch Al for a few seconds to catch the gear being don on. Warm air continues to flow in the room like a weird breeze in the hot moist parts of Landfall. Al finishes in 5 seconds, probably faster that its ever used Light Feet but it helps when movement is reduced to only a tiny portion. Al begins humming the tune the bard was playing back in the cell.

Jezebel watched as the group began to trickle out of the cell, and cast a simple look towards the rotting man before taking calculated footsteps after them. She didn't have much water but as she walked down the corridor she kept it drawn. If need be she could fashion it into something sharp that would slice through bone and brain with one thoughtful glance. She wasn't near as worried as she should have been, considering how everyone was more or less deciding to abandon the stealth mission and take up arms instead. She supposed they could all do wondrous things together. There had been a time when her and Ether worked like a single well-oiled machine and she was sure any of the others could work with whomever they needed to survive.



As she stepped into the room a handful of the group had disappeared into, she first took note of the smell of fresh blood and Ether's appearance. She was disgusted by the way he dirtied himself and quickly turned to someone else. The blind girl. She had been the original one to leave. Jezebel felt a hint of respect creeping up out of her. This girl had powers and strength. She would definitely be useful even with her injuries, especially if she could find their equipment so easily.



Jezebel took to slipping her armor on as she looked over at the man who seemed to wield a katana made of... bone? She supposed she couldn't judge since her weapon was water, but she still found it odd. How could one touch such a horribly infected thing? Bones were... remains, memories, raw and earthy pieces of the living. Jezebel tended to keep her distance from the men she watched die. Rotting corpses turned to bone, and bone was well out of her territory.



She finished putting her armor on, her fingers running across the thin metal. It could block attacks quite well and was lightweight, giving her the advantage of agility. She grabbed her hilt, spinning it around her index finger before letting it fall back in place on her hip, glancing at Ether. She wondered if he would recognize it. She hoped he wouldn't.



She finally pushed her dagger into her shoe. It had been a gift from an old friend, or no, not a friend. A man whom she hated like no other. He had thrown it at her and it had missed. She kept it as a reward, as a reminder to show how easily she could beat the average human. It was a nice blade, rumored to be made of ancient metals. It had managed to last years of her using it for mundane things such as cutting up food and picking dirt away from her armor so she supposed it was made of something worth holding onto.

 
Morgrim was no different from the group, and he had his own personal belongings sitting away gathering dust in an old storeroom. His staff and prized armour were there for the taking, and he wouldn't let anyone else get their grubby hands on his armour and staff. The armour was that something distinctive of a reaper, but the stuff was horrible mundane, and unimpressive thing that looked more akin to a walking stick then a wizards weapon. But as his bony clutches gripped around the staff crackling could be heard coming from the inside of the staff as veins of poison like ivy spread along the material, and it turned a sickly colour as Morgrim's influence was being reflected in the staff, a fabled mirror staff that is usually only held in the hands of an archmage from the few head schools of magic. While Morgrim's headmaster dead it was his for the taking, along with the other few things that didn't get turned to ash in his hometown. This staff could double as a spear though as a sharp narrow pointed blade protruded from the top. Whenever Morgrim's magical reservoir was running low he could jab somebody with the staff and infected him with the magically occurring poisons that run throughout it. Morgrim had to think about himself in the long run, and since they were targeted once, it would happen again.


Some of the people that were once trapped in the room were completely insufferable, but some looked like they could actually handle themselves. The green haired girl was peculiar, but assertive and had a strong voice, if he was going to have to commandeer this group she could make a useful second in command. The wolf elf girl had skills despite her wounds, and she could make a great spy and assassin, but it would be unlikely for him to get on her good side. Wolfkin had sensitive noses, and his smell was that of death, not that he was sure she never smelt such things before. Assassins often leave a trail of bodies behind them before they are run out. The demons and the vampire, the rejects Morgrim quite liked them, they had personality and style, but a darker side hidden underneath them much like him.


Morgrim armed himself, his two prized possessions keeping him well protected, but he had come with many vials of poisons and explosives. Each with a coded symbol that Morgrim had created so he could identify what they are used for, in anyone else's hands they might just lose their hands attempted to use the materials. Everything from black fire, to concoctions that could turn a person's blood to mush from a single drop on the skin he had it. The bottles in has pouch have brought back memories of the first paladin he caught and killed. A young lad with blond hair and blue eyes, something that could be considered a pretty boy, but his vows made him blindly loyal to a tyrant. Morgrim's life was taken from him when he was a child, and he would do the very same if he had too. He remembered testing out all different concoctions on that paladin, until his skin bleed, and his mind abandoned him. Always saving the most potent for last. That paladin may have been the first, but there were hundreds to follow after throughout the years. He conditioned himself to live with all that murder, he found it useful and artistic and developed a set of philosophy about it all. A cruel secret of his that kept him alive, and should it ever leave him it would destroy him.


He shook his head out of it, and joined the side of the she wolf. "You should let the vampire tend to your wounds, you're strong and have skills, but if you collapse on us we may not have the strength to get you out of here. I know you are the lone wolf, and a survivor like me, but we are targets now, and we'll have to stick together until our hunters are dead. Take a moment to yourself, and then we will leave." Morgrim addressed the group now, there wasn't an update on the plan even though they have their gear now, but the idiots seemed to forget that all their gear is exposed. "Cover up your armour and weapons, just because we raided their armory doesn't mean we should look like we did." He grabbed robes hanging from a clothes hook and tossed each of them one depending on size. "Cover yourselves, and fall in line behind Decante, he will lead the way through this place. Wolf elf I want you behind him whispering the directions. I know you can use your shadow sense to guide us past the cultist and to our freedom. I know there is a portal waiting somewhere outside, let me deal with that. I probably know more about this group then any of you, even though it still isn't much. Take a moment to make sure you are ready for this, we can't fail."

The reptile hybrid blinked slowly as the two stopped bickering and the stinking corpse-man released the vampire man from is luminescent confines. Some seemed to notice the green-haired female's presence, but most of them ignored her. With an internal shrug, Wylloh used the wall she was leaning against to rise further and stand fully. It was a slow process due to the damn temperature in the cell, but she managed to do it as the others lashed out at the Cult member that came to the Heroes' cell. His head was bashed in and he was stabbed by one of the others, she couldn't really focus on who did what. Once the Cult member was significantly dead, the corpse told the guitar-bearing demon to put on the robes of the Cultist as a disguise. The one who smelled of wolf disappeared once the door was open, but her scent was still strong, as was the scent of dark magic. Shadow magic, then. So many dark beings in one location. Wylloh marveled to herself before moving slowly, her legs doing as she wished at a much slower pace than intended. Ugh...curse the cold. Wyl thought bitterly as she made it to the door after most of the others had already left.


Torches...thank the Mother. Wylloh grinned slowly when a torch caught her eye. She reached up slowly and raised a hand to the flame, enjoying the warm feeling that spread from her hand to the rest of her cold body. As soon as she absorbed enough warmth to move in a more fluid manner, the female walked at a faster pace than before. When she reached the storage room that held everyone's armor, she made her way past the others and slipped hers on as quickly as she could, keeping her back to the wall to hide her scales. After hiding them for so many years, she was used to getting dressed in under a minute. After she fitted her armor onto her person, she watched the corpse speak a plan.


""Cover yourselves, and fall in line behind Decante, he will lead the way through this place. Wolf elf I want you behind him whispering the directions. I know you can use your shadow sense to guide us past the cultist and to our freedom. I know there is a portal waiting somewhere outside, let me deal with that. I probably know more about this group then any of you, even though it still isn't much. Take a moment to make sure you are ready for this, we can't fail." Rather than hearing him she watched his mouth form the words, then nodded tersely. "Sounds good." She spoke, her voice hoarse and dry, then pulled a robe that would fit her thin frame over her head, covering her armor. She walked to Daecante and stood beside him, determination clear on her pale face.

'Shadow magic then. So many dark beings in one location.' The voice had come from no where, distracting the elf who remained in the room with the belongings. She gasped quietly, turning behind her and seeing it was just her, the blind lass, and the vampire. Neither of them matched the voice. She shook it off, telling herself it was nothing, and went back to rummaging. 'Ugh...curse the cold,' there it was again. Eleniel froze, pointed ears ignored the others in the room with her, picking up on the footsteps coming toward them, her life-sensing radar telling her the others are coming near. Perhaps the voice is just echoing through the hall....she tried to listen again. Her ears picked up nothing, but her head was different,'Torches...thank the Mother," a slight dizziness threw the elf off but she shrugged it off immediately. She brought one hand to pinch the bridge of her nose for a moment, taking in quiet breaths, ignoring everyone else. She had forgotten about the involuntary mind reading. Most Eldar Elves were telepaths, unfortunately Eleniel never came around to controlling the ability, though she can willingly speak to someone's thoughts, she cant hear the thoughts of others on command. And every now and then shed pick up on some, like a stray radio wave. Lucky this time it was just one person, and not a whole crowd. There were only a handful of time the elf managed to take on the thoughts of a large group of people, and it wasnt fun. The brief nausea didnt settle in for once, but a small and tiny headache began to gnaw at her. She looked up, pretending nothing had happened and continued to search for her things.


The last item to be retrieved was her cloak. It was old and tattered at the bottom hem, and fit quite appropriately in this sort of scene. She should have parted with it decades ago but she couldnt bring herself to do it. Now, it served purpose, she thanked the stars she held onto it long after its beauty was overdue. The walking corpe again reitterated the plan and tossed old and ugly robes at each of them. Eleniel stared at him when the cloth was tossed her way and quickly fell to the ground. Who knows where that thing may have been. Besides, her cloak would suffice, when brought over her shoulders it covered her from the neck down, and with its tears, marks of dirt, and ragged edges, it was pretty similar to those flilthy robes. She proceeded to swing the cloak behind her, draping it over her back and tying it around the front of her neck. Once again her hair was kept hidden under, good thing too, in a dark dingey place like this, the petitw elf stood out. Her sliver locks were further buried when the elf pulled up her hood. With her weapons now concealed, the light elf was ready.....eager even. She was ready to get out of this dreadful place and break away from this mix of people.


Her hand suddenly rubbed at the back of her neck, where her birthmark rested. Shes only ever seen it a few times in her life, with the help of mirrors, but often wondered about its perfect shape. The inquiry often floated around the back of her mind but had suddenly made it to the top of her thoughts. Eleniel quickly casted it away, lowering her hand back down to her side, she looked to the corpse under her hood with her big ocean blue eyes, with a heavy lack of enthusiasm. If she were on her own, she could have been long gone by now. In anycase she has to work with the current situation, there was no point in irritating herself with "what couldve been". Eleniel sighed, slipping past the taller bodies that flocked to their items, to form into the line of the bard's "prisoners".

Darrius steps into the storage room behind the others, most of whom are in various stages of dressing or gathering weapons. He stands in place for a moment and looks around, but doesn't see his stuff outright, so he closes his eyes and focuses for a second, following the tether of infernal magic that binds him to his weapon. Normally he could use this tether to call his weapon to him, but right now he uses it to locate the spark of energy in the room that marks where his gear is stashed. "Gotcha!" He says aloud, walking over to a sack that had been tossed haphazardly into the corner. He practically rips the thin rope binding the sack closed and opens it with a grin, pulling out a set of dark armor, a satchel, and a silver chain covered in spikes and demonic runes that glow and spark with brilliant purple energy in response to his touch.


He straightens, stripping out of the ragged clothes that he's currently in, not caring who who might be looking at him as he dons his underclothes and armor (a little slowly because of the various bruises and the headache that's still nagging at the front of his head), finally finishing by wrapping the chain weapon around his waist. "Thank the gods," he sighs, stretching and twisting a bit, making his spine and a few joints pop loudly. He rarely takes off his armor, and his weapon is never out of his sight. While his magic is strong, he doesn't like feeling vulnerable or exposed, especially not against people as strong as these cultists, whoever the fuck they are.



He walks back over to the rest of the group, adjusting the strap of his satchel to a more comfortable place across his chest and snatches the robe that Gorgeous--he doesn't know the guy's name, so a nickname works just as well--tosses to him. He looks down at it for a second and shrugs. Being a smuggler, he's used to having to disguise himself, or at least make himself inconspicuous, to get in and out of places, so he understands the necessity. He puts the robe on over his armor, making sure that it covers anything that would look suspicious to the cultists.



Once he's sure it's all set, he looks at the others again, allowing himself to wonder for a second just why they were all taken, and what they all had in common.
Eh, can worry about that later, he thinks before slipping into the line forming behind the bard, ending up beside the vampire, who, he will admit, isn't that bad on the eyes, despite the blood dripping off his face. Darrius gives him a smirk and a wink.

Back in the cell where the other had left there was a sight atypical sight even in this strange dungeon, missed only because of the darkness in the cell, there was a boy no older then nine, skin holding a faint blue sheen as he slept and had been since long before he was captured. Akio felt as if he was floating in a endless void of bright shinning blue. He found himself confused, he had entered recovery as per usual but this had never happened before as he became confused at the endless, lost sensation as he floated in the nothingness of the light he could see even with his eyes closed. "Where am I?" He thought quietly as he obeyed his first instinct and extended his senses to searching for his sword, feeling its power pulsing faintly a couple rooms away yet his senses were muddled. "Perhaps its time I wake up." He thought to himself before the world faded around him as his thoughts left him.


When he woke up he felt he was in a cold and damp place, the stone was hard underneath him and slick with moss and slime making his entire feel covered in much and grime. He sat up, hair shriveled and grimy as he glanced around, eyes as clear as sky almost seemed to be glowing in the dark when he scanned the area with wide eyes feeling a bit intimidated by his surroundings. "Where am I?" He questioned to himself, his voice a bit shaky in his current state of mind. He had been asleep for sometime and his blade was missing so his power was effectively halfed. He glanced around the room but no one else was in the cell with him and the door was wide open. Strange markings covered the wall and he crawled towards them, reading the markings for several moments as if memorizing all he saw. He came to his feet unsteadily as he tried to catch his bearing in the small cell. His internal clock let him know he had been sleeping for a two months which mean he had been ether taken him while he had been recovering. He looked to the door, thinking of whether he should leave or wait for someone to come for him. However something told him he would need to find some help or at least his blade for what came next. He rubbed his arm, trying to get some of the chilling slime off him to no avail as his hand only seemed to spread it, causing him to shiver from the cool sensation.


He crept carefully to the exit, his body have crouched as he made it to the door as he stumbled to the door as he slowly regained his balance to move with slightly more steadily. He glanced out the door, keeping his body mostly hidden as he glanced left then right as he crept carefully into the hallway but there was no sign of pursuit or alarm, or any sign of live at all. He nearly stepped over a strange body that he could not even consider human. It had human shape, but none of the features that made a person on him. Glancing at the cell walls and corridors with both caution and careful observation that was nearly impossible to see in a boy his age, his eyes seeing clearly into the darkness. Akio crept down the hall way with slow, careful steps, hugging the wall as to try and blend in as much as possible. He didn't think much about what direction he was going, but simply walked while feeling a strange sort of subtle pull and quiet voice telling him which direction he needed to go, growing ever stronger as he closed the distance. He kept his pace slow as not to raise alarm but soon he glanced around the corner, freezing as he saw a colorful collection of characters right in front of where he needed to go. He hid around the corner wondering if they were the ones who captured him in the first place. He found himself looking for a weapon before his eyes realized they to were dressed in rags like he was. Perhaps they were the ones who murdered the faceless man and opened the door, though they hadn't helped him they were likely not hostile to him. He took a breath, part of him wanted to run away or wait for them to leave if they took his blade he would have a very hard time getting it back without noticing.


Stepping away from the corner he observed them for a moment, before suddenly stepping forward as if about to run and suddenly was right behind Elenial and with another seeming act of teleportation ended up right on his back with his arms around her neck. "Hi!" He said with a cheerful smile, a wide smile gracing his face as he hung on her back observing the entire group, some in varying states of undress, focusing on the girls a bit longer then the boys as his bright blue eyes scanned the group as if looking for signs of hostility. "What are we all doing here? I woke up in this cell and now I'm sure I'm lost, where are all of you from? Did you all get taken here to?" He asked, words slipping from his mouth almost as fast as he could say them in a cheerful and excitable tone as if the darkness around them had little affect on him. His arms were around Elenials neck with hanging perhaps a bit lower on her chest then she would like making attacking him even by instinct difficult due to their close proximity as he patiently waited for their responses as he watched them all with a childlike curiosity, inclining his head like a curious bird.

He had remained silent throughout the whole ordeal. Riktos, that was. The Beorning had decided it would be best. He spoke to no one, and he stood alone, his human form lurked in the shadows in the dark corner of the cell with the others. He had been the first to regain consciousness, and he'd like to keep himself in that state. Thank mother earth for the bear, and thank mother earth for helping him control it, albeit in vain.


When the group murdered the man who had come to them, Riktos slowly nodded, but kept the rest of his body rigid, shoulders set squarely, just as he usually was. The bear inside him longed to tear the flesh from the bones of the dead body (nobody else here seemed to want to eat it aside from the vampire), but Riktos hushed it, and soon it calmed down. It was much easier to tame once the group had made it out of visual range of the corpse. But Riktos could still smell the fresh blood, even over the powerful stench of the undead in the little group.


As he donned his gear, shoving his swords into the sheath on his back, checking both sides of his knife and spinning his axe in the air and catching it before thrusting it into his belt, Riktos noticed that a girl near him happened to have scales. The bear snuffled curiously, but Riktos wanted to finish putting on his armor. It was good to have another that held some blood from the wilderness, and Riktos thought she could be an ally, if they weren't that allready after breaking out of the cell and being cohorts in broken bonds.


"Sounds good," the reptilian woman spoke. Riktos then went to partake in his first social interaction that day, given that forcibly ignoring others was not considered interaction. The large beorning reached out his hand and thumped it twice on the womans shoulder reasurringly. Not hard, just enough for her to know he was there, that he admired her confidence and determination. He took his waraxe from his belt, holding it up slightly over his shoulder as a sign to show he was ready. Societyless creatures that belonged in multiple realms, the relms of man, underground, in the forests, possibly even elvish origins, they had to stick together. And aside from the elf with the wolf ears, whom Riktos didn't care for (which isn't saying much, Riktos hardly cared for the majority of people who had previously occupied the cell), she was the only other one who had something in common with him.

[CHARACTER SHEET]






A flicker of disdain rose within her as the vampire patted her shoulder, but the rogue reined in her irritation and stepped to the side to allow the others entrance to the storage room, allowing the prisoners to retrieve their accouterments. She leaned against the wall beside the doorway, out of the way. Her fingers drummed against the hilt of one of her daggers in mild boredom. The rhythm was virtually silent compared to the growing rustling produced from the movement of the others as they geared themselves with their armor, weaponry, and other equipment. Everyone seemed to be slightly more comfortable now that they were reunited with their personal possessions, and the Lythari couldn't blame them. One's weapons and armor tends to become a part of them over time, and being separated from said equipment usually results in feeling empty or incomplete. It was common amongst fighters, warriors, and the like.


The significant difference between Roxii and the other prisoners was that she has been separated from her equipment for a much longer time span. Over two years, to be exact. The night she was captured, the King's Guard immediately confiscated all of her weapons and gear while she was unconscious. The next day, the day of her trial, the wolf-elf had expected to be sentenced to death after one of the men recited a long list of names: names of the people who fell victim to her for varying reasons. The list seemed to go on forever, and it was only then that the sixteen-year-old realized that her hands were heavily bloodied. Much to her dismay and surprise, the judges instead sentenced her to serve thirty-two life sentences in Sanguine Isle—a life sentence for every fifteen or so lives taken. The blind assassin was shipped out immediately, and she arrived to the prison camp about two weeks later where she was stripped from her assassin's clothing and forced into the dirty rags of a Sanguine Isle issued uniform. She had always wondered how many people died wearing the uniform she wore and if her name would ever join the list.



A familiar anger began to bubble inside the elf hybrid. Someone had betrayed her that night, and she had a sneaking suspicion that she knew exactly who. Unfortunately, Roxii had no idea where they'd be by now. The notorious Crimson Shadow always made sure to more around sporadically throughout Landfall—and, under special circumstances, to the Core—in order to remain unknown. They never moved regularly on any set date, either, so no one could plan an ambush. If their location was revealed, they would find out almost immediately via their spies and would disappear without a trace within moments. It's nearly impossible to track them, as they always seem to move separately, silently, and inconspicuously.



But
nearly impossible isn't good enough. The Shadow will find them, and she will gut every single assassin until her thirst for revenge was sated.


"
You especially, Lycan." The anthropomorph's ears swiveled slightly, averting her attention to the blood-sucker. The sweet aroma of blood was emanating strongly off of him, and, after a quick once-over of the prisoners present, deduced that it was a personal supply of the red liquid he had downed. It took the assassin a split second to register what he was talking about. She knew she ought to be healed, and, like most magical beings, vampires had a natural gift for healing. Of course, Roxii possessed said gift, but it was difficult to use given her current state. The male was undeniably in a better condition than she, and the wolf hybrid would be stupid to refuse the offer.


However, the Lythari's pride and natural disdain for vampires tugged at her conscience. She was one of the most renowned killers in all of Landfall, and it would be an insult to her dignity to receive aid from an outsider, a
Nosritrel [1] no less. It has always been natural for a Nosritrein [1] and a Gaurhoth [2] to harbor a hatred for the other, but this one seemed to have no such hatred. He seemed indifferent towards such traditional values. The wolf-elf couldn't help her dislike for vampires. Call it prejudice, but Roxii had come across many Nosritrein within her lifetime that have treated her terribly.


The almost unbearable stench of the
N'Til'Nond Uss [3] intensified as he approached, and the blind rogue listened to his input. She hated to admit it, but the Usquener [4] was right. If she were to escape with this group alive, then she needed to be able to fight when necessary, and the hybrid was in no condition to do so at the moment. The corpse-man continued on as she pondered the decision, further explaining their plan. It was simple enough, but she knew that they ought to be prepared for anything. Anything could happen at this point, and there was no telling how many of these robed beings there were in this forsaken place.


Roxii let out a defeated sigh out through her nose and pushed herself off the wall. A tremor of pain and instability resonated through her weak body, and it further reinforced her decision to accept the vampire's offer. She turned toward the blood-sucker and gave him a nod, giving him permission to approach her and do whatever it is he planned to do in order to heal her.



While the wolf-elf was donning the prisoner rags the
N'Til'Nond Uss handed to her, the magical bard approached her. "Peditham hi sui vellyn?"[5] Roxii was slightly taken aback by the male's knowledge of the elvish language. He didn't smell like elf. However, bard's were known for traveling. There was no telling how old the bard was, so she figured he simply experienced enough to pick up on the language.


The blind assassin finished putting on the clothing over her usual outfit, successfully concealing all of her equipment. "
Nácë..."[6] the young rogue replied hesitantly. Her voice was quiet and hoarse; she hadn't spoken in so long, much less in elvish. She continued, "Ma istanyel?"[7]

1. Nosritrel/Nosritrein Vampire/s


2. Gaurhoth Werewolves


3. N'Til'Nond Uss Undead One

The meat skeleton tells them to put the rags over their own wear for disguise. Because Al's gear is light and thin, it didn't matter when then it throws on the previously discarded prisoner wear. It doesn't carry weapons so this isn't difficult. It tugs at the corners of the cloth to make it look less noticeable. The half avariel then whips its head to glance at the others. Should they act all mopey or something while in line? Isn't that how most prisoners look like?- not that its ever been in a prison, longer than a day. Al could whistle a shanty that it remembers hearing from a criminal in the past. The idea of tricking the rude mask robe people makes it eager. Shows them to mess up its game of hide and seek.


Al follows the others who form a line. It raises an eyebrow at the horned guy who winks at someone from the group. Another guy appears in the store room, the one who didn't stir while they were in the cell. The friendly guy touches the elf lady and Al knew already that this will not end well, especially with the elf who seems to have a stick up her ass since they all first woke up. Al claps its hands twice as a short prayer, similar to how its mother used to do it in the past. The half avariel takes a step back just for extra measure and turns its focus away from the scene. Maybe it'll go in the back of the line when they start making their way out; best not to get caught in the middle of a fire fight.


Its eyes glance at the silent man who hasn't said a peep since they left the cell. Loosing interest right away, Al flicks its gaze to the wolf and bard who are conversing in a familiar language. Its the same language that some of the avariels talk to each other whenever it is important business. Unfortunately for Al, it never got a chance to learn it while its family used to live with its father's kind before being cast out. Its mother didn't bother teaching the language on their travels so the need never arose to learn it.





Al continues to fiddle with the rags that cover its light armor. Having many people in one room feels uncomfortably warm. The smell from Shitty man doesn't help either even with the tiny winds Al tries to direct scent away from its nose.




 
The vampire couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the demonkin who gave him a wink with questionable intentions. He shrugs internally for a moment before deciding 'Ah fuck it.' A playful smirk makes its way onto his blood soaked mouth and Ether returns the wink before returning his attention to the apparent man with simple plans. Morgrim was elaborating his further and telling his fellow cellmates to throw on tattered cloaks to hide their equipment. Again, the vampire couldn't help but shake his head at the ridiculously simple plan and obvious implications. If everyone present had half a brain cell, Ether figured they knew they had to hide their equipment. They didn't get into the cells with them. Why would they leave with their equipment all on their persons. Why would they even still be "captured". At the point, Ether didn't doubt that any one of them could break free from the prison on their own.


The elder vampire merely shakes his head once more and approaches the lythari with some amount of caution. She clearly didn't like him and he figured she felt that way about everyone......at least until the bard asked if they could speak as friends in elvish and she agreed. While he couldn't speak it, Ether did know how to read Elvish and understand it. Given how long he had been wandering the world of LandFall, he picked up the language over the centuries but never bothered to practice enunciating the words. He didn't like the way the elven words rolled off his tongue. The lycan's distaste seemed to be something personal. A previous notion against him....maybe she just didn't like vampires? Regardless, the blood mage approached her and put a hand on her shoulder. He let his senses and sanguine magic scan her thoroughly to identify what her physical ailments were. While they were not grevious, Roxii was moderately injured, starving, dehydrated and quite frankly exhausted. "Oh great..." He groaned aloud. Ether was pretty good at healing himself or others with his craft but it required sacrifice. Ether was certain no one in this room was going to be willing to bleed for the stranger so steels himself for the pain to come. "Ok Lythari. Your life isn't in danger and your wounds aren't severe but you are at a fraction of your full strength. Malnourished, dehydrated, exhausted, and injured a fair amount. I'm not going to ask but I am going to tell you that healing wounds is easy. Repairing damage done to the body over.....many years is going to take a bit effort, to say the least." Ether heaves a great sigh as he pulls his razor sharp dagger from its sheath. The elder holds it thoughtfully in his hands for a moment gripping the Lycan's shoulder a little harder. More for himself than for her. "Well, let's get right to it then, shall we wolf?"





As soon as the last syllable leaves his lips, Ether raises the dagger and plunges it into his chest. He buries the dagger to the hilt in his flesh and a pained hiss leaves his throat along with a few curses in multiple languages. The pain is great but the desired result is achieved. A strong, if not rapid, river of blood flows down his scarlet cloak, covering the hilt of the dagger in rivers of crimson as well as his armor and clothing. Using the pain as a catalyst for focus, the blood mage begins using his craft. The fresh, split blood begins to lift from his clothing and becoming suspended as large droplets in the air. The blood flowing from the wound is drawn into the air as well, almost like if some mischievous god had reversed gravity. It doesn't take Ether a long time before he beings siphoning his flowing blood into the open wounds across the Lythari's back. The suspended droplets rush to join the steady stream of crimson liquid entering the Lycan's body. The magic takes effect immediately and requires little effort on Ether's part. It immediately begins to repair the damaged tissue, sewing it together and using the vampire's blood as a medium to create more skin and tissue. Ether's blood literally begins its change upon contact with target, essentially changing and becoming the target's own flesh and blood. The description itself is rather complicated but the application comes naturally. The tricky part is everything else.


Ether's blood flows throughout the rest of Roxii's small frame, repairing any internal damage that she may not have noticed herself. It takes a large amount of concentration but Ether manages to fuse his own life blood with hers, replacing the lack of nutrients and minerals from days or weeks of starvation. Electrolytes, vitamins, proteins, sugars, and all the necessary elements to a healthy living organism are brought into Roxii's body. This is giving the much needed "refueling" she required and while she will still feel hungry and thirsty, her body has what it needs to operate at near maximum capacity. Factoring in that any internal damage, (like the damage to her stomach lining from the lack of food for such an extended period of time), was healed just as quickly as the external wounds she had. Ether had now explored her body inside and out and he could tell that a good number of her wounds were from lashings. She was flogged countless times. The scar tissue within her also told several tales about her past, though he wasn't going to tell her he knew more about her now than she would like.






"Ok....Ooookay that should be enough." With a pained grunt, Ether stops siphoning his blood after the repairs are complete and returns any excess blood back into his body. He gently pulls the dagger free from his chest and sets to working on his own flesh, which is something he does subconsciously now. The vampire rubs the injury as if someone had simply punched him rather forcefully rather than having steel pierce his flesh. "Well, that's another scar to add to the wonderful artwork that is my body. I swear if you look carefully enough, you could probably make out some sort of picture. My chances with the ladies are diminishing with every injury." He states with an exaggerated sigh but a confident smile remains on his face. "Should be feeling much better now Lythari. Just repay me by not....doing what you do best to me." While this was said with a seemingly harmless expression, the edge in his voice that would only be detected by those with very sharp hearing. He was able to piece together that Roxii was some kind of killer and he hoped she would realize what he was talking about. Then again, she probably did.


With a wince, Ether grabs one of tattered cloaks and tosses it over his person, covering most of his equipment rather easily. He made a mental preparation and kept the wound from healing the assassin open, for the battle coming up. As he fell in line, the reptilian's words reached his ears and Ether couldn't help but groan,
"Relax girl scout. I think all of us here can handle ourselves efficiently and are capable of following a rather simple plan. I don't think you need to show us the way to a line. Though its nice to hear you try very hard." Ether comments with a strong sarcastic tone. The plan was painfully simple as it was. No one needed to be shown how to do something so mind numbingly simple either.

Daecante smiled slightly as the blind wolf-elf hybrid girl hesitantly replied to his Elven inquiry, the girl now openly stating his earlier suspicion of her suspicion of his knowledge of the girl. While the others started to line up, and the unsavory personality that was the vampire doing some sort of healing trick on her involving stabbing himself and creating a rush of blood, he ignored it and began to speak to her once again. "Ni fe I hiz ithie Roxii Sicarius, Yie sili rili ehilisehsh mih zmsi I hels mieshm" the demon bard replied in his puss-in-boots accent as she began to be covered by blood. This did not affect the bards mind at all as he has seen much weirder in his times, although he did find it quite intriguing as he had not yet seen this sort of power take place. He had heard rumors of vampires and blood mages being able to heal with the power of blood, but usually those people who dabbled with blood magic were not to that. They were insane and beyond reasoning, killing anything and everything in sight for power. This he frowned upon; the pointless slaughter of people and innocence. The bard continue the conversation with his conversation, his words now flowing into lyrics as he began to apply different pitches and forming a little upbeat rhythm "Tmi hsiri es Daecante Mephistophiles" he gave a little bow, his magical music sending the vision of his bow to her minds eye, "lsixisehsh fsilv, zmesm risihs sirieris sphith, meih, sisssisseh, sihv ehzissiri sish sisihsh. Asmieshm I miphi msi's hi mi ssisi leshm hiz"he chuckled lightly to his own jest to break the tension and depressive atmosphere, it's bad for your health don't you know? He looked past the blind girl to find everyone else finally lining up cloaked in disguise, alright it is time to move. "Niz miz sifie zi sisiv misi miphisiss shlieph ie i hliivir fihili zi sihehei iel sesi smsi?" Daecante spoke to Roxii once last time, sending another vision of his wink he just did, before slightly leaning to the side to address the rest of the group. "Alright everyone, let's get a move on. I don't feel like becoming the next sacrifice of insane cultists with no faces" he spoke up to a volume where everyone in the present room could hear him before returning straight, returning his attention to the wolf-elf. "Smsiss zi?" Daecante chuckled lightly before turning and walking outside of the room, beginning to lead the group with directions from his seeing-eye dog Roxii. He would follow all directions from her without a doubt in his mind, keeping his own eyes out for anything that might cause them trouble.

"No but I know you. You are more interesting then what I first thought"


"The name is Daecante traveling bard, which means sometimes spy, thief, assassin, and unwelcome tag along. Although I hope that's not the case right now"


"Now how about we lead these hopeless group out to freedom before we continue our little chat?" "shall we?"

Wylloh watched the others enter the room and find their belongings with her bright blue-green eyes, waiting patiently against the wall for the others to finish preparing and begin their departure. The small silvery elf finished getting ready and covered up her silver hair, which was good since it would have stood out among the darkness of the cell. One of the demons was next, removing their clothing promptly to put on their armor, although Wylloh had looked away almost immediately to see who else might be ready. However, the demon joined the group once more after a moment, so he had finished preparing.


However, someone who had gone unnoticed in the cell beforehand appeared out of nowhere and somehow ended up on the back of the light elf.
A child? Wylloh wondered with an eyebrow raised on her pale forehead, the reptilian hybrid confused by the idea that a child could be in such a horrid location. What would these cultists need a child for? Innocence? Wylloh wondered, peering at the hallway. Speaking of which, we need to move before we're noticed. As Wylloh glanced back at the group to open her mouth and voice the importance of their urgency, another person came up to her out of nowhere, and he did not smell as human as he seemed. Did he see my scales..? Wylloh thought with slight concern as she watched him approach her.


The man was much taller and had a rough appearance to him, as if he lived in the wilderness all his life.
He smells of the earth and of an animal... Wylloh's thoughts continued to remain inside her head, her worry increasing about her secret's safety, but with a reassuring pat on her shoulder, the female relaxed and understood he meant her no harm, and in fact respected her. He raised his war axe and held it atop his shoulder, which implied that he was prepared to leave. Wylloh nodded tersely before pursing her lips and looking at the rest of the group with slight irritation. We must leave..


Despite her anxiousness to leave, the hybrid
did understand that some were not well enough to leave - she only hoped the healing process wouldn't take long. Her bright eyes assessed the blood transfer performed by the vampire with curiosity, although she could smell the discomfort between the wolf-elf and the idea of being with a vampire clearly, as if it was a tangible substance. The process did not last long, and was a tad bit repulsive, but Wylloh's face did not betray any emotion in regard to the actions committed by the vampire. The other demon, the one that had a guitar of sorts before, began speaking to the wolf-elf in a tongue Wylloh did not understand, so she averted her gaze to focus on others. A small being she hadn't noticed before remained quiet and followed the rotting man's orders, standing with Wylloh and the man that smelled of wild animal, as well as the musical demon after he finished his conversation with the small blind one.


As the others joined the line, Wylloh's head turned back to the vampire, who had apparently begun speaking to...her?
"Relax girl scout. I think all of us here can handle ourselves efficiently and are capable of following a rather simple plan. I don't think you need to show us the way to a line. Though its nice to hear you try very hard." The vampire spoke with a sarcastic tone, causing Wylloh to narrow her eyes at him in irritation once more. "I did not say anything. I simply told the rotting corpse that what we were to do sounded good. I figured simple mistakes were above you, old man, but it seems I was wrong. I simply want to leave the dungeon as soon as possible, but with how long all of you are taking, I am surprised we haven't been noticed as of yet. Let's get moving, as the bard has already suggested." Wylloh spoke with just as much disdain as the sarcasm used by the vampire. She was cold, irritable, and her emotions were offline, so she really didn't give a damn about the others until they were out of the cells where she could actually move. Then she'd be able to treat the wounds of the others, since the vampire only worked on helping one of their fellow prisoners. She tapped her foot impatiently against the floor and looked towards the hallway, tying her hair up in a tight bun so that her hair would be difficult to see by the cultists while she waited for the others to hurry their asses up.

Still in the Dungeons



It was taking a while for everyone to get situated and reacquainted with their weapons and armor. The light elf waited patiently, keeping her mouth shut and minding her own business. She leaned on one side of her hip, her arms folded over her chest, and her cold stare observed everyone around her. Her stare could be intimidating (if it werent on an elf the size of a dwarf). Through out her years she had been told she had a hard stare, and she never knew why. Maybe it was dark, thick lashes around her eye, that made the deep azure stand out against the whites of her eyes. Maybe it was the seriousness and intense focus on her face that seemed like she was plotting your demise. But she wasnt. Beside her hair, Eleniel's eyes were her next best feature. The sapphire almost seemed luminous in dark places such as this dungeon, some say its because her eyes are an indicator of the light that resides within her. After all, the eyes are the windows to the soul, right? Either way, when ever she had that studious stare, it sometimes made others uneasy.


Before they could move on the agaryulnaer ( or vampire) had offered to tend to any wounds and directed his attention to the elandili (half-elf). With a quick exchange of words the dark being had wounded himself, and blood immediately began to pour from the self induced puncture. Eleniel raised her head, and an eyebrow with it. She had never seen a vampire bleed before. This was strange. The longer she watched, she came to understand why. He was not only a vampire, but a blood mage of some sort. 'How barbaric...' she thought, and grimaced at his performance with manipulated blood. She assumed the only reason he had blood, was because of his ability, a "special" vampire, if you will. "My chances with the ladies are diminishing with every injury," she heard him say. A small scoff came out of Eleniel's nose, and a tiny, easily missed smirk tilted one corner of her lips. That was amusing to hear,'I wasnt aware there were chances in the first place,' she thought to herself, then quickly turned away to get rid of the "smile" after amusing herself.


Eleniel continued to wait, understanding fully well that no one is really in top physical condition so she allowed some patience. Beside her, the bard and lythari proceeded to engage in concersation. Though she was a little surprised, to say the least, when the bard understood and spoke elvish back to the hybrid. She understood everyword, though it sounded a little different to her ears. Eleniel and the elandili were of two different elf races, both still old, so she was happy to hear an old form of Elvish, but the dialect and accent were different. And with the lindar (bard), well, even though he spoke it very well, you could still hear it in his tongue that the language wasnt native to him. The Eldar elf glanced at the vampire near them, and tilted her head slightly when she noticed how he was watch the previous two in their conversation. Could he understand them? Okay, forget the bard, the vampire was a complete shock. "Hopeless group," the bard called them. Eleniel gave a very small shake of her head then turned to face them,"Tirith imlë, lindar. Edhellen cé sinwa na laew." Her eyes darted toward the vampire beside them, gesturing to him, then back to the bard,"Pen cé ecces lín paeth nafaeg," she warned. She wasnt sure if they would completely understand her, with different dialect and all, and since the two spoke the same Elvish, but she was sure theyd pick up on most of it since a majority of the words are the same. The only differences are the accent, some (but few) pronounciations, and different words. After speaking to them, she felt the presence of another approaching. It was big, and moved a little slow, it didnt feel like the cultists above, and it was coming from the direction of the cells, so her guard wasnt exactly up. But she was curious. Out from the shadowy depths of the corridor they had come from, came a large man. She watched him as he passed between her self and the lindar/elandili. He was huge, and compared to him, Eleniel looked like a small child. He meandered to the green girl from before, resting a hand on her shoulder. Were they friends? No, she wouldnt have left him if that were the case. Eleniel didnt even notice him. The green lass spoke up again, even more impatient than the first time,"I simply want to leave the dungeon as soon as possible, but with how long all of you are taking, I am surprised we haven't been noticed as of yet. Let's get moving, as the bard has already suggested."


"I think we would all, like to leave as quickly as possible, girl," Eleniel immediately retorted, irritated slightly by the girl's insensitivity to others,"But many of us arent in the best conditions to be moving quickly. We're tired, battered, many are weak and hungry with rapidly decreasing energy levels. If you want to move along, then I suggest you help those that are slow, other wise have patience," Eleniel's eyebrows pinched together, her youthful features twisting into frustration. Her arms crossed tightly, shortly after letting the girl get an earful from the snarky ice queen. She turned and began to walk away from the heated situation but was quickly stopped when something had pulled at her neck. The elf bent backwards slightly, her balance thrown off by the weight, but she recollected herself. Someone had latched onto her, and she could tell it was someone close to her height by the way the weight was distributed along her back. The hood on her head had fallen back, revealing star-kissed hair once again. It happened so fast, and Eleniel was too busy with the green lass to notice another presence coming toward them, er, toward her. The pouncer had their hands around her neck, and she winced upon initial contact since they pressed on the bruises she recieved when strangled into unconsciousness. Their hands dangled too close to her chest, which would make any woman uncomfortable. Her attacker proceeded with a series of speedy questions, right in her ear, but as soon as they finished, Eleniel snapped. In mere seconds, the elf firmly gripped one wrist of stranger, and twisted it so quickly a sharp pain wiukd cause them to let go. But she wasnt finished, she held on and swung the mystery person around infront of her, then spun them to twist their arm behind their back, while her free hand grabbed a handful of their hair and forced their head to tilt back. This motion of self defense is harder to use on taller opposers, but this time it came in handy. With his back to her, Eleniel noticed her attacker was just a boy. A small boy, in a place like this? Her suspicions raised further when it came to the motives of the cultists. Who were they looking for? What did they want? In any case, he was just a child, and the light elf would never harm a child (not intentionally). Forced to give up her hand, the light elf groaned and pushed the lad forward and away from her as she released him from the hold at her mercy. "Doing something like that can get you killed, boy," she hissed. Eleniel straightened out her clothing/armor, and pulled the hood back up over her hair,"Pe channas hên!"


Translation(s):


"Watch yourself, bard. Elvish may be understood by many."



"Someone may find your words to be offensive."



"Idiot child!"

Riktos turned his attention to the sight of commotion. A she-elf. Restraining a child, the same child that was in the cell with them. Riktos didn't like elves to begin with, and seeing one physically harming a child made his blood boil, even if said child was one of elvish kind as well. Riktos set his jaw squarely, restraining the growling animal inside him that wanted no more but to taste the flesh of man or elf. Cracking his neck, Riktos took several deep breaths.


Reaching out with a well muscled appendage, more of a tree trunk than an arm, Riktos picked up the child with one hand He then spoke for the first time that he'd been captured. "That is a child. Have you no compassion?" His voice rumbled like thunder over the mountains, quiet and distant, yet assertive, and forboding of an impending and violent storm. Grasping the child by his midsection, the beorning's hand easily wrapping around his small torso, Riktos raised the child and placed him on his back. With a pacified glance at the she-elf, he tilted his head so he could see the boy out of the corner of his eye. "Remain silent and calm, small one. I believe we should focus on first escaping this prision before determining the reasons for our inprisionment." Riktos frowned slightly as angry words and bitter tones flew about the room. Wiping his face with disdain, he sighed, shaking his head. He gestured to everyone in the room.


"All of you. Hate and anger towards one another will get us nowhere. Do you not sense the evil that resonates from these stones?" Lightly touching a wall, Riktos continued. "Can individuals, despite many different origins, peacefully combine their strengths and gifts to overcome their opposition? Bickering amoungst one another because of petty afairs will only lead to the death or further inprisionment of us all." Riktos looked at each individual around the room in turn, then seeing as he was already clad in his usual garb, as well as a pitiful excuse for a disguise, he decided that he would wait in this foul place no longer. Wether or not the others were ready, he and the child were leaving. Stepping along with the demon that was called Decante, Riktos gave the man a respectable nod. "Lead the way, friend,"


He said, although he could feel the way out of here with his own powers.


Turning his head at an angle once again to look at the child that clung to his back, Riktos allowed himself a small, friendly smile. This time, his voice was quieter, a low whisper to the boy: "What should I call you, little one?" He asked softly.

Jezebel had watched in silence as more people delved into the room and put on their armor, trying not to pay too much attention to the happenings around her. Her biggest desire was to escape, not to know why she was here or how they had managed to pick her out of every other human being on the planet. She supposed the curiosity could have been there had she not had a strong desire to leave before anything else got out of hand. She looked down at her armor, and supposed it would give her away. She'd stay in the back and hide beneath the shadows. It was lightweight and rather dark anyways so she didn't see it as being something completely noticeable so long as no one was staring for it.



She watched as people lined up, moving to stand as far behind everyone as she possibly could and leaned against the wall in wait, silently observing the bustle of the room though it was rather languid. Everyone was tired and hungry save for the vampire who had managed to drink himself back to a relatively good capacity. Although as he moved to help a girl Jezebel couldn't happen but snort to herself. Not only would that take some energy away but she also didn't seen why he wasting his time on people he didn't know. Why were any of them wasting time on one another? Couldn't they all escape on their own if they so wished?



Jezebel had half a mind to compromise the entire plan and leave. She knew once she made it to the main floor of the building she could pull water towards her at a much quicker rate and her weapon would be strong enough certainly to shed blood if she so wished. As if more in thought, Bell suddenly crouched low and placed her hand on the ground. She had learned a long time ago how to pull water from places most would never think to look. Although it would take a lot of energy out of her she thought maybe she could manage.



She closed her eyes, missing the child's entrance as she felt the movement of water beneath the ground, dripping through the soil below the stone. She carefully attempted to drag it up towards the surface, to give her something to work with, trying to use as little energy as possible as she worked. She could hear the conversations going on around her of being tired, of a little one in their midst, but she only grew annoyed by the sounds and focused harder, beginning to use more energy than she intended. Water was her only weapon. Without it she was weak and helpless and even she had to admit that. But then she heard the mention of letting the bard lead the way, and she opened her eyes, concentration loss. Were they leaving now? Already? She sighed deeply, feeling lightheaded. If only she had held on a bit longer. She tried to stand but stumbled and leaned against the wall once more, huffing and glancing around, hoping no one had seen her wobble, before waiting for the line to start moving.

At this point now that Morgrim was equipped and disguised like the rest there were two things on his mind. The first was that they need to make sure they get out of here safe and sound without anyone dying. The second was who exactly he would be trying to get along with at this point. These misfits weren't even talking together for fifteen minutes, and half of them were already completely bitchy with each other. The reptile hybrid, the wolf hybrid, the vampire and the two demons were on his list of the people he would try to get along with. He doubted that he would get on good terms with them all, but this was his goal. The snarky elves, light bringers and overall bossy people were not the ones he was looking forward to working with. Morg did also have a soft spot for hybrids being half undead himself. His species was probably the most unusual though considering he was not born half undead.


//Now here is me just pushing things along so we can get out of this place.//



Now it was up to all of them, but solely relying on Daecante, Roxii and Morg. Daecante the actor, Roxii the guide, and Morgrim the self appointed leader of the group. These people were taking too long, and he was damn tempted to leave them behind, but anyone left behind would lead them to being sourced out by the cultists. Morgrim took up his spot in third of the line. They pushed on through. The hallways were narrow, and equally damp and slimy as their prison cell, giving the impression that the cultists either did not use this as their main place or really didn't give a single damn about spring cleaning. The cultists were all convening at the alter, which for some symbolic reason was at the top of the tower of this particular dungeon. This was all working in the favour of the champions as they were seriously underestimated. Some tortured and all starved they expected them to be weak and unable to move or fight back, they only thought they needed to send an initiate to collect them all.



They have about five minutes to get out of this place though before they would be put on alert, five minutes to navigate the dungeon in all it's twisted tunnels and dead ends. Seeing that they were all gone even Morgrim was feeling confident with their chances of speeding up, besides with all the hybrids a good sense of smell was on their side for better or worse. Through it all they would make it to the portal in under the allocated amount of time, but there was one problem. A cultist was there, and by the dissimilarity of this one's robes they were a guard or jailer with the intention of making sure no one would leave. Behind that crystal robe wearing freak was a rift gate. A monolith with two stone pillars on either side with a floating sphere of black energy right in the middle. Now the others may have never seen the substance before, but Morgrim has, and has even studied it thoroughly. The Ether, unrefined or tampered magic with no element. It is used by the very few dark magic users that can summon creatures to fight in their aid, a skill that Morgrim had almost mastered in his youth before everything he knew was burned to ash.



The cultist had taken notice now and was aware of each of them, and how this was not where they were suppose to be. In his hand is a spear with metal as black as the night. An artifact weapon clearly by the faint magical signature it gives off. Those well attuned to magic could sense it, but those not would confuse it for any regular weapon. Morgrim was the first to pull out his weapon, the mirror staff and donning it's pointed poison coated blade. Cultists had no respiratory system so poison gasses would be useless, but a good jab or two from his staff and the poison will be coursing through their veins.



//When posting your attacks please follow the rule of no auto hits. The cultists are suppose to be highly tough combatants, so saying you kill them in one or two hits is a no no. Thank you.


A big thanks to Ana for the coding

Al looks around curiously as the group begins to venture through the dark prison. Light colored eyes stare at every detail that interests it: random pathways or doors that lead somewhere into the unknown, large cracks in the walls or flooring, and the group members who walk in front of it. The half avariel did stick to its word with staying at the back of the line. The distance is enough to block the Shitty man's scent and replace it with the other groups body odor which is less nauseating up close. The other smells from the dungeon make Al even more curious- a hint of metal, dirt, and burning flesh.


The tiny hallways are oddly quiet but Al guesses it's because of the wolf lady who does the shadowy stuff. It's like playing another fun game of tag to see if those rude mask robe people would run into them. Unfortunately for the half avariel, it cannot see the front of line because of how tall some of the people are in front. It would lean over left and right just to glance at the line up only to straighten again whenever it thinks the bard is going to do something. The whole scene looks so cool that it reminds Al of the group of thieves it once conversed with at a tavern. Did they also do something similar? Maybe not this organized with a straight line but the thought makes it giddy.


They finally step into a room that looks important and what Al sees amazes it. A very glow-y thing is behind a very shiny looking mask robe guy. The robe looks uncomfortable though, maybe too fancy but that's in Al's opinion. A large pointy black weapon is in the guy's hand, which Al's getting those 'important magical vibes' from; mother used to teach what those were but not enough for Al to remember. The mask robe guy takes note of them so the half avariel takes action. It's twelve versus one so the battle shouldn't be that straining on Al's fellow escapees. Since it's the one that feels like it has a lot of energy, it jumps in first in a big way.


Since its in the back of the line, Al propels past the others with the force of the Air Push, the ground, and unfortunate person who was in front of it (by the side). "Wheeeeeee!" Like a bird gliding past the trees, Al is light on its feet making it to the front with ease despite its grumbling stomach. It doesn't halt there though, going past the others with another Air Push to send it straight towards the pointy stick wielding mask robe guy. The weapon already thrusts forth which Al barley dodges.


Its got the guy's attention for now.


Both hands grab hold of the weapon while Al's still airborne. A sting strikes Al's palms, loosening its grip. The problem with not having brute strength is- Al is sent flying to the side but the half avariel lands on its feet. It blows on its hands and waves it around while letting out a small whine.




 



  • Daecante

    the_deadwoods_minstrel_by_shinjyu-d64vjx9.png


    During the five minutes that took place of them traveling, and taking the directions from Roxii, Daecante began to whistle the tune he had been singing when everyone had first awoken, but he had manipulated his voice to where it was high enough for only animals and those with enhanced hearing (elves) could here him. "I zsis hi lihillehsh i ithie Leshm Esh, ithie sili fleshm ihieshm i hi msixi i fi milviv sei sizs" he spoke to Eleniel from in front of the group, it did not matter how loud he spoke as only few people would be able to hear him speak or whistle, and even fewer still understand him. The prison had many twists and turns, although not being anywhere close to a labrynth or anything similar, and was quite dark and dank. Water dripped commonly throughout the entire prison/dungeon, it begged the question where they were at. Maybe under some sort of water source? It wouldn't be a bad guess, with all the water leaking everywhere. ANother strange thing was that it seemed devoid of life, no vermin or other people. Just the group of misfits, what was that about? So many questions and more, hopefully more would be answered when they escaped.


    "Aphisisheis hil sihith hishsiexi hiisehshs" he continued speaking, this time pointing his speech at both Roxii and Eleniel, as they continued to navigate through this dungeon. Finally they came to what seemed to be the end, a portal of Ether guarded by another Cultist, this one with a spear. Not a normal spear though, it felt magical. An artifact maybe? If it was, he would like to obtain it to send it off for studying; to further develop research of the past. "Your time to shine, be careful friends, that is no ordinary spear" Daecante advised the rest of the group behind him before side stepping off to the side to allow anyone to rush at the cultist, "Work together and have fun, don't get too much blood on your cloaks" he chuckled light-heartedly before summoning his guitar to him and playing a an accoustical pokemon song, sending out his resonating melodies to inspire his allies to fight harder and fight stronger; giving them both my strength and vitality.

She wasn't prepared for this. Adorned in a vertically ribbed green tank top and dark denim shorts, being kidnapped was not on her to-do list. Jenoura touched the walls in disbelief. The rigged and moist texture caused her eyes to widen. This is not a dream... her red brows furrowed with concern then her eyes, the color green of the first spring leaves on a plum tree, looked out past the rusted bars that held her captive. Her hands gripped tightly in discomfort, but without much thought she stepped away from the aged bars and sat with her back against the wall. "I'll wait..." she said to herself.


Hours past and she slept against the cold humid walls without much effort. In tense moments like this, she could easily find herself relax. She heard chatter in a distance. Her eyes fluttered open, exposing irises of deep forest pools. "
I'm free?" air rushed from underneath her, levitating Jen off the ground. With a shrug, she floated quietly out of her cell. She sensed other ahead of her. She wasn't sure if she should catch up to the strangers or slowly creep behind them until they've escorted her out of the dungeon she was forcefully brought to.


She sensed many strange beings before her. They seemed human, but she knew they were not. Some races she were familiar with while others seem completely unidentifiable on her end. She found them intimidating. She simply moved with the wind. Her red hair flowed about angelically as her palms were face up. She took this pose from Jesus' Crucifixion, the god her parents worshiped. Up ahead, they seemed to be in combat. She didn't know who was good, but she intended to be out of sight until she found a clear path safe for escaping.
