Yay

Our story begins at "Yer old pearls" a tavern in the outskirts of a small fishing village, the smell of the dusty rotting floorboards is only matched by the stench of the usual patrons, the kind of sad sappy suckers you'd find in a tavern in the middle of the afternnon.
The only standout figure is a man in full knight armor sitting cross-armed in one of the corner tables, Lucius taps his fingers staring at the clock on the wall.
"Excuse me, are you here for the job thingy uhh mister?" asks a soft voice behind his shoulder.
"Actually the correct term is sir" replies Lucius as he turns around meeting Elisa's gaze "Are you here to brief me on the mission little girl?"
"Little girl?" Elisa thinks to herself, this guy doesn't look a day older than her, "No, I'll be joining you on this mission sir, pleased to meet ya!".

A few minutes pass by after introductions are exchanged and the clock strikes 6 o'clock, the supposed time of arival, the bartender aproaches the table and leaves a dirty piece of paper on top, it's a rough map, writing "go north untill you see a mountain" could have done the trick.
"Well I guess it's just us two, am I supposed to escort you to this temple or something?" Lucius says as he stands up, suddently the bar goes quiet.

Dethnis enters the room and heads over to the table where Lucius and Elisa are sitting "Holy fuck look at 'er fuckin' honkers" is heard faintly in the distance, she sits down at the table without saying a word, she carries a darkwood staff at her back.
"What kind of mission is this?" Lucius thinks to himself, Elisa cheerfully says "Hello! I'm Elisa and this is Lucius, he's a knight!"
Lucius sits down again as Dethnis stands up "We should get going" she announces.

As the 3 adventurers start heading for the door the bartender aproaches them and says "Ey, the other one's on the back, we couldn't fit 'im thru the door".
The party exits the establishment and head to the backside of the building, a huge mushroom man is sitting on a comically small barstool, in front of him is a table with two axes and several empty beer glasses.
"Hello there friends!" Mar-kh says as he leaves his seat, he stomps his way to the group and stands towering in front of Lucius.
"FOR FUCK'S SAKE WHAT IS THIS SHIT" Lucius thinks to himself, "Uhh hi" he actually says.

"Well I guess everyone's here, the flyer did say for 4 people didn't it?" Lucius says
"Flyer?" Mar-kh ponders.
"As leader of the group I say we leave right now, get this done as quick as possible"
"Leader?" Everyone ponders

"Maybe we should stay in town for tonight, we're going into uncharted territories, the night could be very dangerous!" says Elisa worried about encountering trouble on the road.
"I hate to agree with tin can over here but I'd rather sleep on the dirt than whatever shithole inn this town has to offer" replies Dethnis
"Don't worry tiny girl, whatever's out there I've seen worse" says Mar-kh as he picks up his axes from the table, "Let's go!" he shouts as he marches torwards the the thickenning vegetation in the distance.
"I guess the discussion ends there" says Elisa.

The group follows behind the stomping mushroom, as they follow the path it's clear people don't cross these parts very often, after an hour of walking the path stops altogether.
"So uhhh what are you guys' favourite foods?" Elisa cheerfully asks, this was her latest attempt to start a conversation.
"We mushrooms don't actually eat ya know, we use photosynthesis"
"Eltoques, it's dark elf cuisine, you probably haven't ever tried it"
"I guess everything my mother made" Lucius' answer takes everyone by suprise.
"You said your name is NobleDude right, didn't your dad kill thousands of elves in the lowlands? asks Dethnis
"Nah that was my uncle, I haven't heard from my father in years, god knows what he's up to" he doesn't sound like he's enjoying the conversation.

As the sun sets the group decides it's time to set up camp.
"This place doesn't look very safe" Elisa says, they're currently surrounded by trees.
"Maybe we could go find a more open place to set up" Says Lucius

Oh what a shame! Seems your fear of trees got the better of you and now your surroundings have even more trees!

>>3634604
Lets go back to the slightly less tree infested place then

(Hello everyone, I-ll be running all day today(

The group unanimously decides to look for a safer place to sleep, they walk around for an hour, sunset has long since passed.
"I'm sure we'll find a nice prairie around this corner!" Elise explains
"Should we tell her?" Dethnis asks Mar-kh.
Lucius meanwhile is clutching his sword's hilt, looking around at his surroundings.
"You seen any ghosts yet?" Dethnis teases, Lucius doesn't break his concentration.

The group stops and clears a small area so they can sleep, Lucius gathers a few twigs and after striking a stone with his sowrd manages to light a small campfire.
"This is as big as we can get it without burning the whole place down" He says admiring his creation
Mar-kh stays as far from the fire as he can while still bathing in it's light.

Before the group can get confortable they hear leaves shaking, faint growls and animal footsteps around them, it seems the creatures aren't being too stealthy about their hunt.
"I don't like the sound of this" Elisa says as everyone else stands up to assume a fighting stance, they wait a few minutes but the creatures don't make a move.
"hey're waiting untill we're tired to attack, someone needs to go make the first move"

his axes overhead.
"ARRARRRGHHHGH" He exclaims proudfully.

Mar-kh crosses the treshhold where the conforting light from the fire becomes chilling darkness.
Seeing the huge creature aproaching them the creatures retreat further a few steps, as Mar-kh's eyes grow accustomed to the dark he sees three bloodthirsty direwolves, foaming at the mouth and ready to pounce.

"It's just a buncha angry huge dogs!" Mar-kh yells to the group.

--COMBAT HAS BEGUN--

In combat a character can use a regular attack, use an ability, or you can write in whatever comes to your mind, actions require a d20 roll success is determined by complexity of the action, talking or mundane tasks don't need dice, all four characters (assuming they are able to) get an action per round of combat.

-Abilities:

Lucius:
>Dash: Lucius can close the distance and attack with his sword.
>Parry: Lucius readies a parry that negates the next enemy attack and counters with a powerfull blow.

Dethnis:
>Summon skeleton: Dethnis summons a skeleton to do her bidding.
>Dark bolt: A magic attack that channels dark energy.

Mar-kh:
>Toss: Mar-kh can pick up something and toss it with great strength, can toss one of his axes for a ranged attack.
>Berserk: Mar-kh enters a state of rage where he becomes more powerfull but can't control himself, needs to roll another d20 to calm down.

Elisa
>Healing touch> Elisa's hands glow with a healing light that cures whoever she touches.
>Flare: Elisa casts a ligt spell that can be used to blind enemies, attack or just create light.

Right now Mar-kh is at melee range, all other characters don't have a line of sight yet.

(Oops, cut off the start of the post)

"Let's just send the mushroom" Lucius says
"HEY! that's not very nice, we should discuss ...." Elisa says as Mar-kh is halfway thru a charge holding both his axes overhead.
"ARRARRRGHHHGH" He exclaims proudfully.

Mar-kh stands in front of the three creatures staring atentively, one of the creatures grows impatient and jumps up into the air, it's claws ready to slash the shroomy warrior, Mar-kh flings one of his axes at the leaping wolverine striking him in the face, the creature falls to the ground badly wounded and retreats behind his pack.

Lucius hears the commotion and deduces the positioning of the creatures, he prepares a dash holding his longsword at the ready for an overhead slash, he rushes forward but the sudden shift in lighting disrupts his charge, when he reaches the apex of his dash he pretends he wasn't planning on swinging at all and stands nexto to Mar-kh.

Meanwhile on the backrow Dethnis decides to cast a spell to summon a skeleton, suddently she gets startled "I haven't ever casted a spell on an actual fight haven't I?" her hands get sweaty and she drops her staff mid incantation.
"It's a couple of animals, they can deal with it themselves" she says to save face, she sits by the campfire crossarmed and frustrated.

Elisa notices Dethnis has lost her cool, "She always seems so confident, maybe I'm over my head" she thinks to herself, Elisa gets nervous "I-I'll help them!" she says nervously, she starts walking towards the noice while casting flare to create a light, she was staring at her hands to make sure she casted the spell correctly, staring at a flare spell is not the best idea though, Elisa blinds herself....

(These two d20 are for the wolverine's attacks against Lucius and Mar-kh)

The two unharmed wolverines circle around the two warriors in the front lines, hey suddently attack in tandem

One of the wolverines quickly slashes at Mar-kh's legs and the other pounces at Lucius' chest as he's regaining his footing from the dash.

Lucius pushes the wolverine off himself before sustaining much damage, "Let's get this over with" he shouts at Mar-kh

Elisa is wandering around blinded and Dethnis is sitting at the campfire unwilling to fight.

Mar-kh readies his axe for a powerfull blow at the wolverine still retreating after atacking his leg, "I gotcha now!" he yells as he takes a step forward, it seems his leg had sustained more damage than he anticipated as he loses his balance and falls on the ground.
Elisa still blinded thinks that a tree just got knocked down, "good job guys!" she yells in support.

Lucius glances annoyed at his teamate that just took a tumble, he looks forward again, points his sword forward and thrusts gracefully in the direction of the creature he was just fighting, the tip of his sword pierces the wolverine's chest and with a swift upwards motion he throws the creature up into the air, it looks like a fatal wound, the other two creatures intimidated by the night's swordplay retreat into the darkness of the forest.

Lucius just leveled up!
>choose between learning a new ability or upgrading a previous one

Mar-kh reaches his hand out for help standing up but Lucius just walks back to the campfire with a smug aura of dismissal, Mar-kh hoists himself up as Elisa uses the crackling of the campfire to help herself reach the general sitting area, everyone gathers by the flame burning pityfully much like the group's current spirits.

"Well that was pathetic" Lucius says to break the silence.
"Those dogs were tough, they got me good!" Mar-kh says.
"I'll do better next time I promise, I'll heal your wounds Mar-kh!" Elisa says cheerfully as she extends her arms in the general direction that Mar-kh's voice just came from, her hands start glowing and after she finds Mar-kh's leg the wounds start closing.
"That feels great little girl!" Mar-kh says enthusiastically.
"Well I guess it's expected of someone's first combat scenario, I'll let it slide glowy-hands" Lucius says, Elisa greens from ear to ear from this semi-positive comment, "What's your excuse princess, couldn't bother getting your hands dirty?" he continues in Dethnis' direction.
"Get bent tin boy" she says as she stands up, she wanders away from the camfire-s light and sits down next to a tree.

"She-ll get cold over there, should we go get her?" asks Elisa

>Go get her (Specify who goes)
>Leave her be

(Also if you have any initial comments/questions/whatever about the quest I'd apreciate them!)

>>3637057
>>Go get her (Specify who goes)
send Elisa over, she seems to be more adequate to talk with the other caster about what happened

I'll be going out today, when I get hone in a few hours I'll continue, we still need a vote for Lucius learning a new ability or upgrading an old one btw

Finally got home guys, had a really long day, writing!

(Sorry for not updating last nigh, I was very tired and fell asleep halfway thru writing)

-Lucius gains a new ability
>Chivalry strike> A powerfull attack that only works on ememies that just damaged an allie.

"Well it's your idea you should be the one to do it?" Lucius replies at Elisa's plan, "besides something tels me the elf doesn't like me very much, and the plant here doesn't strike me as the conforting chat type."
"I guess you're right." Elisa stands up and starts walking towards Dethnis who has placed herself just barely outside seeing distnace.

"Umm hi, aren't you cold?" Elisa asks.
"I'm fine, you can go back with the freaks by the fire." Dethnis answers
"I think I'll sleep here, y'know I'm kinda out of my element here, maybe the cold will toughen me uo a bit"
"Fine, do as you like" Dethnis thinks to herself, "Damn, even the fucking pink haired brat's more hardened than me .... I need to get my shit together"
The two girls stay side by side leaning against the tree, after a while they fall asleep.

Meanwhile at the campfire Lucius asks Mar-kh, "Are they seriously sleeping there? Elisa's not the best diplomat"
"HAH ... I didn't really get that" Mar-kh admits.
"Don't worry about it big guy"
"Yer really good with that sword ya know?"
"Thanks"
It seems te conversation wasn't going anywhere so mar-kh stands up and gets further away from the fire, he digs his feet into the ground and closes his eyes "G'night" he says.
"Yeah have fun doing whatever you're doing" Lucius says as he lays on his side.

The first sunrays of the morning wake Lucius up.
"Alright everybody no time to waste!" He cries out.
Dethnis lets out a grumpy groan as she stands up and dusts off her clothes.
"Good morning everyone!" Elisa cheerfully says after a small yawn.
Mar-kh stands from his spot "Aye aye captain, what're we doin"

Lucius thinks for a few moments "Hey Elisa, you brought some food didn't you?"
"Yes but it won't last us for the whole journey"
"Alright everyone, we shouldfind some food before we continue, we should split into groups"
Everyone thinks that Lucius' self claimed leadership isn't as bad as they thought.

"Alright, let's split up, one caster per team" Says Lucius
"I'm with the mushroom" Quickly says Dethnis before walking off, Mar-kh quickly follows after her.
"Good luck guys!" Elisa cheerfully shouts at her companions.

Dethnis and Mar-kh wander around the forest for a while, Mar-kh'kh's thundering footsteps are suddently slightly smothered by his yelling towards Dethnis who walks a few meters ahead of him.
"Hey little girl don't ya ever cheer up?"
"Not really no" she answers.
"I had a friend like ya, he was always pissed off at everyone for no reasson, one day he was carried off by a giant bird and we never saw 'im again"
"Sounds lovely ... wait I think I see something ahead"

The two travelers reach a small clearing where a boar is walking about eating grass, the animal is huge, it's tusks about the size of claymores.Alright how do we wanna

"I got a plan" Mar-kh says as he stands up, he takes one of his axes from his back and grips it with both hands, he hurls the axes with great strength.
The creature sees the object flying thru the air and quickly reacts by starting a charge forward, the axe gets stuck to the ground.
"Well that was my plan, any ideas?"
Dethnis stands up and starts canneling dark lightning on the tip of her staff, she sees te huge creature charging at them and loses focus, she shoots out the bolt but it only grazes the creature.
"This ain't good little lady!

The creature is nearing the adventurers, they still have time to act again.

Dethnis points her staff at the ground and releases a black mist that quickly takes form into a skeleton, she says to her newly made minion "Quick go attack the ..." she's cut off by Mar-kh grabbing the skeleton.
"No time for that little lady" he says as he releases spores from his body infusing them into the skeleton, he holds the skeleton over his head and chucks him into the boar's face as it was seconds away from reaching them.

The boar suffers small damage from the impact but as he tries to take anoter step his legs start shaking violently, the beast falls to the ground paralized, Dethnis is suprised at Mar-kh's cunning tactic.

"Quick let's finish this thing off!" Mar-kh yells moving forward, "alright!" she responds, accidentally showing off her excitement.

Nar'kh runs up to the boar and wraps his arms around the creature, he plants his feet firmly on the ground and starts lifting it up into the air, Mar-kh grunts violently.

Dethnis is shocked at the feat of strength she's witnessing, Mar-kh looks like a god of war on one of her old world history textbooks, suddenly she realizes Mar-kh is having trouble, the paralysing spores are starting to lose effect and the creature is moving her her head to stab Mar-kh with it's horns.

Dethnis reacts and before she knows it she's wacking the wild beast with her staff, she hits the animal in the head and it seems to dizzy him for a second, Mar-kh takes the opportunity to raise the creature more, he hugs the creature as tight as possible and bends his knees, bringing the creature down with a thunderous roar, the sound of the beast's spine shattering is heard as a cloud of dust erupts from beneath them.

Mar-kh stands up as the dust dissipates "hoo boy that was fun!" he gleefully says, Dethnis stands there open- mouthed in shock, her heart pounding like a racehorse, she lift her arm up and gives Mar-kh a thumbs up.

Mar-kh puts her arm around Deathnis' shoulders, hands her his axe and says, "now help me chop off this thing's tasty legs", Deathnis nods as Mar-kh goes to pick up his other axe in the distance.

Mar-kh leveled up!
>Select between learning a new ability or upgrading an old one!
Mar-kh also remembered:
>Spore: Mar-kh shoots a cloud of spores from his body that can be used to poison, paralyze or sleep an enemy.

Dethnis leveled up!
>Select between learning a new ability or upgrading an old one!

Lucius and Elisa stand at the campsite waiting for their companions to come back, Mar-kh's pops out the trees gleefully carrying two huge hunks of meat, Dethnis pops from behind him dragging a third one with both hands.

"Nice, I see you guys had better luck than us!" Elisa says, "we found some rabbits but they started chucking fireballs at us so we noped outta there"
"Yeah it was a piece of cake, you should've seen this one, if the whole dark magic thing doesn't work out you should become a butcher!" Mar-kh tells Dethnis, who giggles much to the surprise of everyone.
"Well let's get eating" Lucius adds as he starts lighting another fire.

Dethnis has learnt Bone Hands!
>Bone hands> Dethnis summons huge hands made of bones from the ground, they can be used for attacking enemies, grabbing enemies, interacting with the environment (or preety much anything a huge bone hand can be used for(


The party sits around the campfire, one of the chunks of meat is roasting on top of the open flame.
Mar-kh stands in a little spot where the sunlight manages to seap unobstructed by the foliage.
"Ah that's the good stuff" he says satisfied bathing in the light.
"The sun uhh taste good over here?" asks Lucius as he starts cutting the meat with a little pocket knife, he sets the pieces on top of a cloth and everyone starts eating.
"Dunno what tastin' something feels like but standin' here it's like every inch of my body is on a summer vacation" Mar-kh responds.
"Can't say I have" says Lucius, Dethnis just shakes her head as to not talk with her mouth full.
"I have! I've actually been to Swihild a few times" Elisa exclaims, everyone looks at her confused so she continues "my father's a diplomat so we travelled a lot, I've been all over the continent"
"Ya went to Duldhir? that's where I'm from" asks Mar-kh.
"No, I stayed at a fishing village in the north of the swamps, can't remember the name I must've been only eight or nine years old"
"Was it Cahile?"
"Yea that's the one!" she shouts in excitement after chomping down on a strip of meat.
"Who came up with those fuckin' names" Lucius snickers to himself.
"They're named after mushroom warriors" Both Elisa and Mar-kh say in unison, Mar-kh says "How'd ya know that little one?"
"One day at the village my older brother took me to the market while father was away, around noon everyone left their stalls and went to the center of town, everyone stood around looking at the sky whilee an old man told the story of the town's namesake, I thought it was so cool that everyone took time off their day to hear their people's tales but now that I think about it they were probably just having supper." Mar-kh laughs.
"How'd the story go?" asks Dethnis
"It was about a warrior that stood against hordes of lizardfolk enemies during some war, he fought for days after the rest of his army had retreated, he bought off enough time for civilians to to leave the town and saved hundreds, they burnt the city with him inside but eventually they rebuilt it and renamed it after him."
"Ha not even I knew that one!" Mar-kh says, "every mushroom boy dreams of having a city named after him"
"Sorry to tell you this but Mar-kh's a shitty name for a town" Dethnis adds.
"Now she's making jokes too?" Lucius thinks to himself

(cont ....)

After breakfast they walk north for an hour or two, the forest gets thicker and thicker, suddently Lucius who-s leading the group finds a tree marked with some kind of sharp object.
"I've got a bad feeling about this" Lucius says, "Could be trouble".
"There ain't no foodsteps anywhere, maybe it's just an animal sharpenning it's claws" says Mar-kh
"That's not such a good thing either" says Dethnis.
"What should we do?" Elisa asks.

>Try to stray off the path.

"Dunno what tastin' something feels like but standin' here it's like every inch of my body is on a summer vacation" Mar-kh responds.
"You guys've never met a mushroom before have ya?"
"Can't say I have" says Lucius, Dethnis just shakes her head as to not talk with her mouth full. (...)

>>3644907
Keep pressing forward. Keeping an eye open as much as possible. I don't want to get attacked and lost. The brush probably favors the thing more than us.

"Yeah the mushroom's probably right, chins up everyone." Says Lucius as he draws his weapon.
The party walks cautiously, chatter is kept to a minimum as they cross the terrain, from time to time they see another tree with similar marks carved into the bark.

Suddently from up in the branches the party hears the rustling of leaves, it sounded like a creature leaping from one branch to the other, "We've got company!" Mar-kh yells as he takes his weapons off his back, Dethnis points her staff upwards and Elisa makes an awkward fighting pose that readies her hands for spellcasting.

The shaking of leaves ensues but now it's coming from several different directions, "I count four of them" Lucius says to his allies, gritting his teeth and clutching his longsword, the group huddles up back to back to be able to see in all directions, a kind of primal battlecry is heard amongst the trees.

"Quick everyone on the defensive!" Lucius yells as he takes a stance ready for countering attacks.
His allies quickly follow his lead, Mar-kh crosses his axes to protect from any attack that might come towards him, Elisa isn't really sure how to defend herself so she just stands behind Mar-kh.

Dethnis summons a bone hand from the ground, she throws her staff towards it and the hand starts casting summon skeleton, a skeleton comes out of the ground "You're a meatshield" she tells her creation, the skeleton looks kinda sad to hear these news.

From the trees the party hears the sound of blowing wind, suddently two darts come from different directions, one comes in the direction of Dethnis and the other towards Lucius, the skeleton jumps in front of Dethnis' dart and takes minimal damage, Lucius isn't quick enough to react to his and gets grazed in the cheek, the wound burns, "I think these things are poisoned!", Lucius takes small damage and is poisoned.

After the ranged attack is over two shadows come falling down from the branches, as they land and the group manaages to get a good look they realize it's two gnols, one man (pic related) and one female, both carrying makeshift spears, Elisa sees the female not wearing anything on her upper body "C-cover yourself up!" she tells the female warrior that looks rather confused at the comment.

And twi final rolls for targetting

Lucius sees the female gnoll drop near Elisa and quickly jumps in front of her, he readies a defensive stance blocking the female gnoll from engaging the rest of the party.

Dethnis aims at the trees in the direction that the one of the darts came from, after the blast flies thru the air only the sound of leaves burning remains, it seems the gnoll had switched position, she looks towards the hand she summoned and sees that another bone minion has been created, the first skeleton takes confidence in his strengthening numbers and faces the male warrior gnoll, he does a menacing pose and clacks his teeth, the gnoll doesn't look very intimidated though.

Mar-kh sees Lucius take action against one of the speared savages and decides to face the other, he lets out a primal scream and enters a berserking state, fueled by rage he jumps towards the male gnoll and attacks him with both his axes, the gnoll barely dodges the attack by rolling to the side and counters swinging his spear, it cuts Mar-kh's chest but it doesn't seem to hurt him at all

Lucius and the female gnoll are in the middle of a fierce staring contest, the gnoll finally gets impatient and starts charging towards Lucius, Elisa notices the knight's face is hurting because of the poison, he seems unfocused and in the split second before the gnoll's attack connects she touches Lucius' cheek with her hand, the burning wound disappears and Lucius snaps out of his pain induced trance, with a swift upwards swing he sends the gnoll's spear flying into the air disarming his foe.

"Thanks" he tells Elisa still staring down the tribal woman in front of him, the sound of a blowdart cuts the air between them barely missing Elisa, she takes a small jump back
Another dart flies towards Dethnis' direction but the new skeleton protects her, the skeleton looks back for approval from it's master, "Uhh good job" Dethnis says.

>Lucius' action
>Dethnis' action
>Elisa's action

>>3648950
>Lucius: take the gnoll hostage and demand the blow darter stand down

>Dethnis makes sure Mar doesn't get ganked

Rolled 6, 8 = 14 (2d20)

>The two skeletons fuse into Skeletor-i mean Skeletron

Rolled 13 (1d20)

I'm writing guys, this roll is for the male gnoll

Mar-kh faces in the direction of the gnoll and savagely swings his axes, the gnoll is still off balance from his last attack, he raises his spear to defend against the strike, the spear snaps in two and the gnoll is violently flung back.

Dethnis steps in front of Mar-kh as a dark bolt of lightning crackles at the tip of her fingers, she points her hand at the trees waiting for any movements, meanwhile her skeletons stand in front of her yo protect their master.
"clak clak clak (we need to combine our power to protect the queen!") says one of the skeletons
The other skeleton looks confused, the first skeleton grabs his partner and pushes him against his body, he doesn't manage to fuse with him but at least they make a pretty sturdy wall, another skeleton pops out of the staff and looks confused at his kind.

Lucius grabs hold of the female gnoll warrior, he holds her at by the arms and places his sword at her neck, "give it up, come down from where you are or her head is coming off!", meanwhile Elisa raises her hands and casts a powerful light at the trees, "W-we're not messing around!" she says trying to sound tough

A moment of silence passes before two makeshift blowguns are tossed from the branches above, two more tribal gnolls leap down with their hands in the air.
"We surrender" one of the tree dwelling gnolls says.

MAR-kh calms down from his berserk, everyone is looking at Lucius with his sword aimed at the female's neck.

Lucius:
>Release the female
>Keep her hostage

>Ask why the gnolls attacked to begin with

>Also keep making skeletons.
>Yes

>>3651598
>release the Gnoll.
Lucius is a chivalrous knight.

>>3651598
>Release

>>3653160
>>3654466
>>3654880

The female gnoll's eyes are tightly shut, she breathes hard, she feels the cold metal just a few centimeters from her skin.
But suddenly the knight's clutch loosens, she opens her eyes and realizes she's completely free, she takes a couple steps forward and looks back at her captor place his sword back on it's hilt, it seems the fight is over.

Lucius has levelled up!
>Choose between learning a new ability or upgrading an old one

Elisa has levelled up!
>Choose between learning a new ability or upgrading an old one

"You better explain yourselves" Lucius says to the tribe.
All the gnolls look back to the one that spoke earlier, it seems like he's the only one that speaks the common tongue.
"Forest is dangerous, we attack all that cross into our land" He explains.
Mar-kh extends his hand to the gnoll he was just trying to savagely attack, he looks distrustful but lets the mushroom help him stand up, "Sorry 'bout your stick", Mar-kh says pointing at the gnoll's broken weapon.

The gnolls exchange some words in their kind primitive language, finally their spokesman says "You invited to spend night at our village, night is dangerous deep into forest"

The group huddles up to discuss the offer "Maybe it could be useful, if we gain their trust they could help us cross the forest" Elisa days.
"it's a waste of time, we're still a few hours away from sundown, plus I wouldn't trust these fucking things to not murder us in our sleep" Lucius says.
"What do you think Dethnis?" Elisa asks her companion that didn't join the reunion, "I don't really care either way" she says as she watches more skeletons be created, there's about six right now.

>Spend the night at the gnoll's village
>Keep walking until sundown.

>>3655627
>Spend the night at the gnoll's village
Sleep in shifts if we feel distrusting, but it's better than the middle of the woods and we could already be dead anyways.
