Fury of the Twilight Clan

[Serendipity82]

Myriana and Swift - Telredor

Feeling put out that Arbennig upstaged him, Swift trotted into the inn to see if he could beg some food off of Myri.

The huntress was well ahead of Swift and had already order food for both him and Tirrae. Her pets taken care of, Myri listened to Yvenne as she ate. "Do you know how many are in the party?" she asked, figuring knowing how many they were up against was a thing to know.

Senisra - Zangarmarsh

Arms crossed, Senisra stated "One was mine and somehow someone helped her escape. I want her back. The other helped her escape after I had almost captured her again, he needs to be punished. I will tell you about the group she travels with if you let me retain some of them for...'questioning'".


((WOOOOTT PAGE 400!! I WIN!))

[Kamalia]

Karzix and Glix - Razor Hill

Karzix let out a startled yelp at his two "attackers", jumping back and stopping short as his back thudded into the town's outer wall. He paused and blinked in bewilderment, hearing Glix let out a cackle. "... Razil?"

((Page 400! :O))

Yvene - Telredor

"I cannot say for sure." Yvene answered, obviously unhappy with that fact. "Rough estimates put their numbers at somewhere between eight and fifteen."

White and Bloodfrenzy - Zangarmarsh

White was quiet for a while after Senisra finished talking, thinking what to do, how to respond. Before she could speak, another figure slipped out from underneath one of the mushrooms, landing on the soft, spongy ground with a thump. The Other fel-orcs saluted and stood aside, White bowed. Bloodfrenzy stepped out from underneath the shadows and gave Senisra a smile, lightly toying with a crystal attached to a leather cord.
"You mean torture." She stated simply. "You have some damned grudge against a goat and an orc, and you want the Weeping Blade to help you. Our needing these bastards dead is merely coincidence. Well, I was never one to say no to a bit of torture, especially if one of them happens to be a stuck up light-goat. Start talking about this group, give us numbers, general tactics, relative strength. Then we'll see if it's worth the risk of capturing your little toys for a long-term 'questioning' session."

[Serendipity82]

Senisra - Zangarmarsh

"Precisely." Senisra nodded to Bloodfrenzy, a smile playing at the corner of her mouth. She already liked this leader better than that damned troll any day of the week. The mage launched into a description of the group and how they had been ambushing the cult pretty regularly and any other details she could think of. The did admit that the goat deathknight and the paladin were new, so she didn't have much information on them, other than they seemed to traveling with the adventures. An evil glint had started to rise in the elf's eyes. If this group was as effective as they looked, she didn't think she'd be returning to the cult any time soon. Senisra finished and looked at Bloodfrenzy right in the eye, not intimidated by the orc one bit. "What do you say?" she asked.

Myriana and Swift - Zangarmarsh

Myri frowned. Only 15 orcs taking out whole settlements? They must be a well established group indeed. "So there is no pattern to their attacks that you can see? Nothing that will tell you where they will strike next?" She looked over to Asli to see what the other huntress thought.

[Moonlost]

((Blargh. I keep spelling Bloodfrenzy's name wrong. >.< ))

Bloodfrenzy and the Weeping Blade ((Which sounds like the name of a deathmetal band)) - Zangarmarsh

Bloodfrenzy listened to the details she was given, nodding every once and a while. The group sounded at least as clever as the Vindicators, but that wasn't saying much. It shouldn't take too much to divide and conquer, nor to lead them into various traps.
"Phantom," She said after a while. "Go find one of of the towns we helped to 'evacuate'. Out of the way and one that's been well searched over by our Vindicator friends."
The gangly rogue nodded, then jumped up into the mushrooms and ran off.
"No offence." Bloodfrenzy shrugged to Senisra. "We like to keep mobile and it sounds like you and your super best friends will want a more stable playhouse, where you'll have fun for days and days. Now, let's see if we can figure out how to set up the surprise party."

She knelt down to the ground and quickly etched out a basic map of the terrain, placing crosses in spots where her group had set up traps.
"Most of the group is ranged, if our elf is to be believed." She spoke. "Hunters and two spellcasters, but they have a few melee as well. We'll need to take out as many of those ranged as possible first in an initial strike, then we can lead the others into our little gauntlet. White, you make the first strike, mind control their mage. Once we're sure he's under our control, Skullcrush, Farsight and Ashwrought will attack the Shaman and the Paladin. That should hopefully bring him down. With the others distracted, White will get their mage him to polymorph the orc. Elf, you take care of your huntress. We'll cart them away as soon as they're nice and wooly. Depending on how the rest of the fight goes, we'll either scatter then and there, or we'll kill the rest."

[Serendipity82]

Senisra - Zangarmarsh

Senisra nodded. "Naturally. I appreciate your consideration." she replied to Bloodfrenzy. She continued to listen to the plan, nodding and growing to like this orc more and more. Oh this one was efficient. There was no way this plan could go wrong "Excellent. I hope you don't mind uh..one more request of me. I would like the mage too. He should prove..interesting...to toy with." Senisra smiled maliciously. A thought occurred to her. "Watch out for the Fox, the Warpstalker, and the 2 headed dog. They have some extra abilities that may make them more troublesome than normal animals." She quickly gave the orc a run down of each pet, "I say either we kill them or tie them up and scatter them through the marsh. That way the others will try to find them first before they come looking for me."

[Kira]

Asliasa and Akiralios
Telredor

Asli stayed quiet for a few minutes as she thought about it. She tapped the fingers of her free hand against her thigh and frowned as she glanced up. "So these traps, they make them from whatever they have around?"
"Pfft, just do the same." Akira said with a yawn as she leaned back in the chair she had taken.
Asli kicked out at her sister and nearly knocked her to the floor before she turned around. "I hate to admit it but she's got a bit of a point. Setting up little traps of your own might help, even if it slows them down for a few seconds while they avoid them."

Tyran pouted at the other pets and then hung his head as he moved to settle by the door. He crouched down to rest his legs a bit, his tail now rested down as he let out an almost yawn.

[Moonlost]

((I just read back, and realise I completely missed Kozri getting out of the future timeline. Sorry >.< Here I was expecting some sort of great, epic fight happening in Stratholme, but nope. XD ))

Reladormi - CoT

The elder dragon spiralled down from the ceiling, followed closely by eleven other bronze dragons of various ages. Most of them were whelplings, but a few drakes and dragons soared along as well. They landed in the sand before the group, looking curiously down towards the mortals.
"I hope you realise now what it is you are fighting for." Rela said. "Not just just for your lives, but the lives of everyone else on this planet, for the planet itself."

Lesari - Durotar

The night elf rose to her feet and shook her head, hating the strange, muddy feeling inside her head. She wondered if the priest or one of the other healers could fix that. She pushed Umbra off of her, then staggered forward, looking for Cori. Only to see her Death knight in the Clothhead's clutches again. Shit.
She strode forward with intent, worried despite herself. The Death Knight was a fine dancer, yet neither of them had had the chance to duel one another at full strength, And now she was being drained by damned ignorant, arrogant clothheads. Damn, she needed to do something, even if it involved killing the clothheads herself. A paycheck wasn't worth loosing a dancer like that one for.
She needed to wait until the draining ritual was over. Then she'd... She didn't know just yet. Get Umbra to recharge the death knight with shadow, she supposed.

Yvene - Telredor

"They like to attack non-combatants and will generally strike at villages first. But that is no guarantee, they tend to mix things up when we think they have settled into routine. We will set up a trap for them, only to discover they decided to attack one of our patrol groups. Or the Horde. or that they're not attacking at all" Yvene responded to Myri, then turned to look at Asli and Akira. "The problem with setting up traps is that they have been remarkably useless. They either see though our traps, avoid them entirely or use them against us. Or they attack and kill us as we are setting them up. That is the one thing you lot will have an advantage with I suspect. You are new, they will want to see how you work before they attack."

Bloodfrenzy - Zangarmarsh

"We will have White use him to carry one of your sheep, also use him as a bargaining chip if things get shitty." The warlord responded. "Hopefully they'll think twice about rescuing their group if we have the mage hold a knife up to his throat. If they don't, he is of no big loss to us."
She scratched at her chin as she thought about the animal problem. "We'll set up this ambush close to a Stinger nest, get Farsight to stir them up once we can. Hopefully a few dozen angry wasps should be enough to distract the pets, and a few of the people too."

[Serendipity82]

Myriana - Telredor

"What about luring them out? Not that I know how we would do that, but if we could, that would set the fight to our terms." she said aloud, looking to Thren and Zaruuk to see if they had any input.


Senisra - Zangarmarsh

The mage nodded. "Good enough." she hoped that somehow the mage would make it into her hands. The more the elf thought about him, the more she wanted him. Almost as much as her little hunter. Senisra stared ahead, briefly imagining what she would do to him, before a red glint caught her eye. Finally noticing the red gem at the orc's throat, the mage flicked her eyes to White. Well, that explained that little mystery. The little goat priest must be pretty smart if the orc let her run things. Senisra tucked that little bit of information away, just in case.

Senisra thought of one other thing. "I need some rope, if you have any to spare." She was low on hers and needed to restock. Maybe if these orcs asked nicely, she'd make them some too. A smug smile played on lips.

[Moonlost]

Yvene and Zaruuk - Telredor

"I know how we could lure them out," Yvene shrugged. "But I refuse to do it. They've shown a remarkable fondness for attacking refugees and non-combatants. So long as you make it look convincing, you could probably lure them out with the promise of a bit of free bloodshed. But that means putting a lot of good, innocent people in very serious danger, and I cannot justify doing that."
Zaruuk listened along silently, and idea starting to form. He wanted to listen along to anything anyone else had to say first though.

Bloodfrenzy and the Weeping Blade - Zangarmarsh

"Farsight, see if you can find any serviceable stinger nests. Doesn't matter if they're close to any of our murder runs, although if there is, then all the better. While you're out, pick the elf up some rope from our storage cache." Bloodfrenzy said, making idle scratch-marks in the ground as she planned. The hunter nodded, then too bounded away.

[Serendipity82]

Myriana and Swift - Teldredor

Finished eating, the fox bounded back outside to see if Inaara would play with him.

Myri pursed her lips, thinking. "What if we posed as refugees? That would be tempting for them would it not?" she suggested.


Senisra - Zangarmarsh

The mage nodded, satisfied. She idly watched as the orc continued to make scratches on the ground, apparently still plotting. "They are probably plotting something against us as we speak." She mused. Stupid adventurers. But after today, hopefully there wouldn't be any left.

[Saturo]

Cori - Camp

Cori, noticing that the warrior looked beat up and wanting to do something other than torture the death knight for a bit, decided to do some friendly healing instead. She cast a quick Chastise at the death knight, causing her to double over in pain as she turned to the warrior and started channelling the same heals into her.

[Azunara]

((Oh hey, page 400, and no, Moon. Sorry! D:))

Kozri
Caverns of Time

Kozri returned a bit later, a young drake following. She looked at the group warily, bowed her head respectfully at Reladormi, and set to work making the portal runes for Dalaran in the sand. Kozri looked up at Reladormi, and then at the others.

---

Azunara
Durotar

Azunara jolted a bit when there was a clamor as Karzix was surprised, but otherwise stayed by her spot, one ear pricked in an attempt to try and pay some attention to everything. For the Light's sake, she'd be more beneficial to the group if she stuck with the Cult then them. At least she wouldn't get the others hurt or in trouble.

[Moonlost]

Lesari - Durotar

"You. Leaders." Lesari snapped, hand resting lightly on her sheathed sword. "I want this one. I want her healed, then brought to me in a wide field for one last fight. What happens after that fight, I don't care. And if she breaks the terms I set for the fight, she's free game. But I need this. I refuse to have such a magnificent fighter die in such a degrading manner; on her hands and knees, pathetically."
She nodded thankfully to Cori, not ungrateful for the healing, before returning to glare at the cult leaders as a whole.

[Saturo]

Cori - Camp

Finishing the healing, Cori turned to look at Batlek inquisitively.

[Lupis]

Batlek, Durotar

Batlek did not like the tone that the elf was using. He turned to gaze coldly at her, the mist condensing into flame to smolder around the elf. "And you think such a tone will get your wish granted?" he asked. If she continued with her disrespectful attitude, he looked forward to killing her.

[Moonlost]

Lesari - Durotar

"Saying please and thank you just wastes air, sir, and doesn't change the message in any meaningful way." She replied with a shrug. "Gold, however, is a much better means of making you feel good about yourself. I am willing to relinquish all future wages you will owe me for continuing to aid your army in return for this one fight. A combatant like this shows up only once in a lifetime, and night elves life long lives."

[Lupis]

Batlek and Lightfur, Durotar

Batlek snorted. "Gold is as worthless as honor. Very well, you can have your fight." The draining was just about finished anyway. Besides, both elves would die at the end.
Lightfur nodded as he listened in, approaching the pentacles. He began healing the death knight, speaking to a cultist simultaneously. "Return her weapons." The cultist trotted off to find the swords.

[Saturo]

Decay - Camp

Decay perked up as Batlek condoned the battle, glancing over at Lesari. "Would you prefer a quick death at my hands, or a slow one at his?", she asked, noticing that the troll didn't seem too pleased with the warrior's insubordination.

[Moonlost]

Lesari - Durotar

"I want a wide circle, more than enough room for us to dance." Lesari started, idly checking to make sure her armour was fitted well enough. "Perimeter to be surrounded with cultists if possible, ready to kill her if she tried to escape her fate. She is allowed to attack myself and only myself. Terrain is okay. I want her at peak condition, no outside interference. Umbra..."
The night elf paused to look at the nightsabre. She had no clue what to do with the cat, should she loose. Not that she would, of course. A magnificent dance this would be, but she was a master of her craft. Still, never hurted to be prepared.
"Should I fall, drain the cat and let her go free. Any possessions in my bags will go to the cult. Crescent Oath is to be melted down, thrown into the ocean or jammed in some rock never to be pulled out again."
She doubted any of these things would actually be done if she dies, but again, it didn't hurt. Who knew? Perhaps one of these clothheads was more honourable than the rest. She turned to look at Decay.
"I should think the answer is obvious, oh opponent of mine." She answered.
