Tales of the Hunt ((Open RP))

[Azunara]

Azunara and Kozri
WPL

Azunara had shifted forms, scowling. A blast of energy changed the dagger's path, and it sunk into the ground. Azunara looked slightly pleased. Elune had never listened to her cries for the moon's power before. She returned to her cat form, looking at the devilsaur. She gave a quiet whine, tilting her head. What if the battle ended differently? That could be Kozri dead and her or Decay or Indi or Luare or anyone of them being tortured.

Azunara glanced at her sleep companion, giving a quiet whine. She carefully walked over to the gnome, looking afraid. "Uhm...We should stop." She said, then added carefully, "If the lightning wolf is close, I could've smelled him. He's nowhere nearby. She's telling the truth. At least let her check on her companion." She finished, looking at the group with an expression of mild terror. The gnome
-scared- her, and the last thing she wanted was to be lit on fire.

[Saturo]

Saturo - Field

"Druid, go away. Now.", she said simply, glaring at the ranger with contempt. "This is your last chance, ranger. Where is Faron?"

[Azunara]

Azunara and Kozri
WPL

Azunara coughed, then gave a quiet snarl, "No. We should stop. We're not the bad guys, they are. Her pet could be dying, for all we know. Just because they wouldn't show us mercy doesn't mean we shouldn't either. And it's getting nowhere. She doesn't know, I can't smell him. Lightning Wolf isn't here." She replied stubbornly, trying to keep the look of terror off her face. Stupid scary gnomes.

((Aw, this can't end well for Azu. xD))

[Saturo]

Saturo - Field

A wall of fel fire erupted between the druid and the warlock. "Go. Away."

[Azunara]

Azunara and Kozri
WPL

Azunara bared her teeth, tail lashing. She stalked off to the devilsaur, and looking back at the gnome with a glare, shapeshifted. She planted a seed, flowers growing. Stealing the energy from them, she healed the dinosaur's various wounds, muttering quietly to the Light and Elune that it was still alive. She shifted to her cat form and looked defiantly at the gnome.

[Lupis]

((YES! I can post on this computer!))

Faron, Western Plaguelands

Faron blinked open his eyes. The trees and sky above him swam in his vision. Something large and blue was thrashing around in the air, making a loud noise that made his head hurt. The trees and the sky slowly stopping their movement as his head cleared. The blue shape revealed itself to be the wyvern, flapping and roaring fearfully. As soon as he could see clearly, he shifted, trying to get to his paws.

It didn't work as he intended. His front right leg gave out with a splitting pain and he collapsed with a yelp, gasping and snarling as his body remembered that it was in pain. A lot of pain. Instinctively he reached for the troll's presence, finding it in his mind and leading him over. The troll knelt, putting his hands on the damaged leg. It was bent the wrong way. Most likely he had landed on it when the wyvern had freaked out.

Both troll and wolf snarled in pain as the troll began shifting the bones, setting them in the correct position. Healing energy flowed into the limb, but a broken leg was a lot to heal. It was going to be slow. He lashed his tail, listening for Rose or Dalinda, but he could hear neither of them. The air was full of only the scents of plague. How far away had that idiot wyvern gotten? However far, it worried him. Rose and Dalinda were alone in the fight. He really didn't want them hurt...

Dalinda, Field - Undercity

Dalinda observed for a moment from her save haven in invisibility. Too many of them, too risky. She shrugged, moving a fair bit away before unfading and creating a portal. The image of the Undercity shone through and she disappeared into it, intending to go back to testing her newer poisons.

[TygerDarkstorm]

Rosaliah--Field

Rose cowered before the gnome. She was shaken and upset. She didn't have a mental link to Faron, she didn't know where he was, but she hoped he was okay. She was surprised by the druid's actions. Rose had known very little kindness in her short life and her bond to her pets was one she treasured.

Fed up with the gnome, she turned around and crawled up to Tyrant's massive head, tears running down her face. As she cradled the devilsaur's head, she felt him give a small snort of breath into her hand. Her eyes widened and she looked over to Alarial. "Please priest, can you help him?" ((Rose is young by elfen standards.))

The priestess looked over to the person who had been trying to kill them. Alarial saw how pathetic the hunter looked with her pet lying there helpless and she couldn't help but to feel bad. She nodded and walked over to the devilsaur, kneeling next to him and beginning to heal him.

[Saturo]

Saturo & Decay - Field

A wicked grin spread over the gnome's face as she walked up to the ranger. Raising her sword, before quickly swinging it in a decapitating strike, she smiled. The blow was parried by a quick death knight, however, the burning blade colliding with the icy one in a poof of steam. "Don't.", the death knight said simply, before shoving the gnome back. Saturo, not about to accept that, launched a blast of fel fire, her grin turning into a frown as the death knight deflected it into the ground, near the unconscious Korwen. "Don't."

[Lupis]

Luare, Western Plaguelands

Luare had started searching for the Mage when the fight began. Now her nose led her to a portal, which was fading. It looked like it led to the same place they had just been. Had the mage escaped through it? She frowned, then sniffed the air more. She couldn't smell the lightning wolf, or otherwise she would have assumed he had escaped as well. Frowning, she ran back to the others.
"I found a portal... Heads back to that city. But I only smelled the mage, not the lightning wolf, or the troll." She gave Saturo a disapproving look. "Will you cut it out?" she asked irritably.

[Azunara]

Azunara and Kozri
WPL

Defiantly, the druid snapped at the gnome, "See? No wolf. The elf is telling the truth." She shifted to her elven form, and pooled energy into healing the huntress and her devilsaur, sitting down besides her. "My cousin works with animals too. And I'd feel the same way if Kozri got hurt. He's family to me." She said, tiredly.

[TygerDarkstorm]

Rosaliah--Field

Rose had watched the gnome's actions with wide, fearful eyes. She was amazed the the death knight that had been questioning her previously was now defending her and her injured pet. The people that she had formerly tried to kill were now protecting her from her former boss. "Th--thank you," she managed to stutter.

Rose made a vow to herself never to try and attack these people again, no matter how big the bounty. She nodded at Azu, and attempted a small smile.

Indigosa, Alarial, Lahzuli, and Julianne--Field

As Indi watched Saturo go crazy, she realized that before the battle, that was what she was starting to look like with her unfair treatment of Lahzuli and Julianne. She felt ashamed of herself for thinking ill of them.

Julianne walked carefully over to Indi and crouched down in front of the death knight with a smile. "You going to be okay?" she asked Indi. "Your lucky that hunk o' dinosaur didn't break your back."

Indi smiled at the huntress. "I'll manage and thank Mal--the gods for my plate armor." The death knight looked sheepish. "I'm sorry for the way I treated you and Lahzuli before."

Julianne shook her head. "Don't worry about it. At least you're not acting like that gnome." Indi grinned before letting herself fall asleep.

Alarial fell, sweating and exhausted, to the ground. "That's all I can heal him for now. He's going to need lots of rest," she said to Rose.

[Azunara]

Azunara and Kozri
WPL

The druid grinned. She flicked her attention to the gnome, and her grin shifted into a snarl as she got ready to strike. She mentally poked Kozri to try and get him up, but he didn't seem like he wanted to. She scowled. He always had to get so tired when things got exciting. As a precaution, she carefully moved in the way of Kozri, just in case the gnome tried to attack him. She didn't trust her one bit.

[TygerDarkstorm]

Lahzuli and Julianne--Field

Lahzuli shifted into her bear form and went and plopped herself down in front of Rose and the devilsaur, much to the hunter's surprise.

Julianne walked over to the others, curious as to why the gnome was suddenly turning on them. "Look," she started, "no one knows where this...Faron is. The druids can't smell him and the hunter lost him at some point between when they were flying and she landed. I got a shot off on that wyvern and Azu managed to scare it pretty bad; there's a good chance he crash landed a ways away from here."

[Azunara]

Azunara and Kozri
WPL

Azunara nodded, and ensured they had an eye on the gnome, nudged Kozri awake. He blinked as he noticed the huntress awake, instinctively pulling out his daggers and staggered to a fighting position. Azunara coughed, poking him with a claw, "It's okay. She's not so much a threat anymore. It's the gnome I'm worried about." Kozri blinked, muttering something irritably in draconic, and moved over by Rose and Tyrant. He winced. Looks like he did some bad stuff to the poor dinosaur. He stood guard as well, stiffly, and Azunara crept closer, ready to attack the gnome.

[TygerDarkstorm]

Rosaliah--Field

Grateful for the help of the others, Rose began murmuring quietly to Tyrant in an effort to make the devilsaur feel better.

[Azunara]

Azunara and Kozri
WPL

Azunara said quietly, "I don't like the gnome...I think she should go..." She lashed her tail, the look of fear crossing her face again. Old fears made her wary, and she had seen Saturo's power. It scared her.

[TygerDarkstorm]

Indigosa--Field

As Indi slept, she twitched from her dreams. At first everything was black, then fog and a dim light appeared. Indi felt as if she were rooted to where she stood, not sure what was happening. As the mist cleared, a face she recognized walked through it. "Son of Neltharion!" Indi hissed, trying to back up and failing.

The worgen had a mixed look on his face; a little bit of anger, sadness, and smugness. "You have been avoiding me something fierce, Ms. Indigosa," he said calmly to the death knight as he approached her. "Do I embarrass you?"

Indi looked away, ashamed. "No..."

The worgen frowned. He reached out gently with a claw and turned Indi's face toward his. "Then what? Did you leave me for dead and forget about me?"

The words stung Indi and tears began to run down her face. She glared up at the worgen. "I have not forgotten you, Kethtaz. I never have. It...It KILLED me to leave you behind in Silverpine."

Kethtaz smiled and brushed away Indi's tears. "Good because I have not forgotten the kind hearted death knight that tried so valiantly to save me." Indi gave a weak grin. "So...what happened in Stormwind then?" Kethtaz asked.

Indi winced. "I...I was ashamed. You found me while I was drunk. I made a fool of myself."

"You also left with some rather unkind words."

"Yeah...I've been...having really bad mood swings lately. Telling you I'm sorry doesn't feel like enough..."

"You don't need to, I can see it in your eyes, Indigosa."

A silence fell over them and Kethtaz let his hand fall away from Indi's face. "I should be getting back to the others," Indi said softly, looking away.

Kethtaz frowned. "Something is wrong?"

"Yeah...we were attacked by our usual enemies. Nothing too terrible. If it weren't for my plate armor I would have been crushed by a devilsaur."

The worgen frowned. "Do you need my help?"

Indi chuckled. "Silly Kethtaz. You don't even know where we are. We'll be fine. We've won...for now."

Kethtaz growled slightly. "You may see me sooner than you think." With that he disappeared, leaving Indi to blackness once more.

Indi startled herself awake. She immediately cursed herself for it as waves of pain wracked through her body and she screamed. She quickly covered her mouth in embarrassment.

((Sorry for the long posts. I really enjoy writing and I have fun doing this RP. >_<))

[Azunara]

((It -is- the point of an RP. Writing and having fun. Thereby, I see your long post and retaliate with my own!))

Azunara and Kozri
WPL

While watching and listening, Azunara mentally struck up a conversation with Kozri. "You were having nightmares again," She casually said, and the human glanced at her, blinking slowly. "Yeah. Didn't take the potion, was too tired. Funny enough, having things explode in your face and carrying a rather heavy elf to the Undercity can be tiring."

Azunara grinned slightly at Kozri, before switching her attention back to the gnome. "What was it about? The nightmare, I mean." There was a pause from the drake, and Azunara winced. She should not have asked that? She was about to apologize when he replied.

"The same as usual. That...day. The scouting mission where everything went wrong. We didn't know, Salizdormi, Arkdormu and I. There were barely any traces. The Infinite weren't supposed to be tampering with that timeline. But they were...and there were a lot of them. They...killed the others, Azu. Left me to live." Despite the fighting, Azunara crept over to Kozri's side, watching Saturo carefully.

"It's okay." She whispered. Kozri shook his head. "They figured they could use me. Against my own Flight. They would've, too, Zu. If it weren't for you, I'd be one of them. Killing my own brothers and sisters." Azunara whined softly, nudging him. "I'll keep you safe from 'em, okay?" She said, smiling weakly. Kozri nodded, smiling a bit at that statement. "Okay." Azunara bounded over to Decay, standing rigid and on guard once more, tail flicking.
