Fury of the Twilight Clan

[TygerDarkstorm]

Indigosa--Dalaran

Indi giggled at Zaruuk's comment before her eyes narrowed to slits at the mention of Senisra and the little ordeal over Umbra. Having overheard Decay say something about Thuderbluff, she ground out, "Portal. Mulgore. Now." Remembering Bloodletter was still upstairs, she dashed back up to her room and grabbed the axe, slipping it into the holders on her back. She then dashed back down the stairs to the others.

She turned to Umbra as she waited for a portal to be made. "Come Shadow Cat. We will avenge your former mistress. The havoc and pain we bring shall be glorious. That mage will die."

[Kamalia]

Glix and Karzix - Dalaran

"See?" Glix chuckled, reaching out to fondle the shadowy cat's ears. She looked up at Thren as he spoke, her brow furrowing. "Inaara?"
"I think she's that othah draenei woman's daughtah." Karzix quietly explained, casting a glance at Zaruuk and Thren. "Seems like she's related tah those two as well - they seem awful worried fahr 'er." Glix nodded silently, her eyes wide. She stepped away from Umbra as Indi spoke to the cat and she cast the death knight a quick glance.
"Right. Er - one sec..." She darted toward the staircase, blinking and running. She returned a few moments later, her pack gripped in her hands. She dug into the pockets as she returned back to the others, pulling out a runestone. "Zaruuk, could you give me a hand?" She called as she tossed it to the ground, screeching to a halt and starting the spell. She didn't even bother taking a few more steps to get the portal outside - this was an emergency, after all.

Myriana - Dalaran

Myri lowered her bow at Glix's words, but otherwise said nothing. The huntress stood close to Thren and gave Zar a knowing look as he swore. "We need to hurry!" she said a bit desperately, afraid for the young priestess. "But...I do not feel as if we should go rushing headlong into Mulgore without some idea of what to expect..." she trailed off uncertainly, waiting for the others to tell her she was stupid for being cautious.

[Azunara]

Azunara and Kozri
Dalaran

Azunara had wandered back in, catching Indi's words. "We're moving! Great! Finally!" She said enthuastically, then her face fell as she remembered how she would be stuck on the sidelines. If anyone else had threatened her, she wouldn't care. But, while she would never tell Decay, the death knight terrified her. If anyone would be good at hurting her, it would be Decay. She was so...scary and strategic and always knew what to do.

Kozri looked up, stifling a yawn and getting up. "Yeah. I have a score to settle with the mage anyways. She's a real bastard in the future, by the way." He paused as he listened to Myri, adding, "Right. Plan. Let's see. If I can sneak into camp, I can take out one of the leaders.

Tara
Mulgore

The mage moved towards the pentacle, quickly going through the Infusion process and stepping out, looking satisfied at the charred, burnt ground below her and the flames flickering and sputtering off of her.

[Moonlost]

Threnaad, Zaruuk and Umbra - Dalaran

"Hold it," Zaruuk said, feeling like an ass for saying it. "We cannot just rush in there blind."
"Zar, they have Inaara." Thren responded, voice tense. "You can't be seriously saying we should wait."
"Wait? No, but we need a plan. This could easily be a trap for us. What if they are redirecting portals again?"
"They have my daughter! I can't stand around while that bitch of a mage is-"
"And she had me before then!" Zar snapped, the knife edge in his voice returning, eyes flashing fel-green. "And Myri, Tirrae and Magna too."
He stepped back and looked away, trying to will himself calm. Emotions were getting a little tense, it was hard to keep the demon on his shoulder at bay.
"Listen, she has been gone for a while now. If they were going to do something to her, it would have been done by now. Rushing in blind is not going to help anybody. We need a plan, even a basic one will do."

Umbra rumbled in response to Indi, then looked over her shoulder to Faron. She didn't want to go unless her new master was going, as much as she liked this undead.

[Serendipity82]

Myriana and Pets - Dalaran

Myri put a hand on Thren's shoulder to try and steady him. "Threnaad, Zaruuk is right. Senisra.."the huntress shuttered and she couldn't help that her voice shook as she continued, echoing Zaruuk's words. "That mage does not waste any time. If she had planned to do something to her, it has been done already. Trust me, I know. " Myri grimaced as she remembered, before straightening. Right. Thren had been there for her and now she needed to be there for him. She gave the hand she was still holding a squeeze and repeated "We will get her back. And everything will be ok. I promise." Myri also promised herself that she was going to be the one to kill that bitch of a mage. The others could try, but she would be the one to deal the killing blow. The huntress turned to Zaruuk, but said loudly enough for everyone to hear "So, does anyone have any ideas?"

[Kamalia]

Glix and Karzix - Dalaran

Glix faltered in her spellcasting, pausing and glancing uncertainly at each of the people gathered around. She bent down and swiped the runestone up off of the ground, deciding to hold onto it until they had reached a proper decision. She took a step back until she was out of the way, studying Threnaad and Zaruuk as the two argued. She blinked at Zaruuk's mention of how he himself had to deal with the mage. She cast Karzix a confused look, but he looked just as clueless as she did.
"...Did something happen after we split up into groups?" She murmured hesitantly. "Did you hear anything?"
"No, nothin'. At least, nothin' like this." Karzix shook his head, watching Zaruuk carefully as he caught the bizzare flash of green coming from the mage's eyes.
"Are we going to aim for a stealth mission? Get in, get Inaara, and get out?" Glix questioned. "Or are we going to try for a more direct approach? We have more men to try and pull that off with now, but then again, if worst comes to worst, we'll need as many people to back us up... especially now that it sounds like they've been through most, if not all, of the camps. We might not want to pull out the big guns just yet."

[Azunara]

Azunara and Kozri
Dalaran

"Well," Azunara said, "Koz and Karzix can sap Batlek and Sen, I guess. That takes care of the really important guys. Do we have explosives left over? Or fireworks, we could buy some and distract them with those. And then, we can get in, do what we need, get out, like Glix said." She looked pleased with herself. The idea seemed pretty sound to her.

[Lupis]

Cult, Mulgore

Lightfur was up for infusion next. He turned his head to Inaara and Cori. "I will return shortly. Keep a close eye on the child, Senisra may try to steal her away." He stood, running towards the pentacle. He shifted back to his tauren form when he arrived, and the infusion started.

Batlek nodded. Just his own infusion to go - then they could finally do something. Then... Regroup. More elemental cultists had been made, he knew - they would bounce from city to city, region to region, and destroy what they came across, teleporting away before there could be a counter attack. No more stalling with infusions.

Faron, Dalaran

"Unfortunately, I've never been to the Mulgore camp. I can't say where it is or how well defended it is - though in such a low population area, I'd guess not very."
((He's wrong. >.> They're building up for an attack, so they've got plenty of troops, so to speak.))

[Saturo]

Cori - Mulgore

"Of course.", Cori replied, shooting a look at the kid. Still eating cookies. Ah well, that was safe enough. She wondered if she'd get another infusion as well, Lord Batlek seemed to be forgetting her a lot.

Saturo - Mulgore

This camp was ugly and it smelled weird. No reason not to be prepared, though. The troll was standing a bit further down, he'd be easy enough to keep track of.

Decay - Dalaran

"I've got specs on the camp.", Decay said simply, holding the book up. "As well as a quite genius strategy to take it down, if I may say so myself, which I just did."

[Moonlost]

Zaruuk and Threnaad - Dalaran

Thren sunk his shoulders, knowing they were right. Still, he really didn't like the thought of not going there right away and making sure Ina was safe. He held tightly onto Myri's hand as he listened to what they were going to do.

"Honestly, I would like to end this once and for all." Zaruuk responded with a snort. "The sooner we stop this, the sooner we do not have to worry any more about cultists kidnapping family members and loved ones."
He turned to Decay and nodded, indicating he'd like to hear this plan of hers.

~

Inaara - Mulgore

Ina silently watched Lightfur walk away towards the rest of the camp. She looked over to Cori.
"Could I have some tea, please?" She asked.

[Magnakilro]

Magna-Dalaran

Magna sighed. He really sucked at planning.

Arbennig growled at thoughts of the cult.

[Lupis]

Cult, Mulgore

Lightfur's infusion was completed. If he looked like a walking plant before, now he looked like a walking greenhouse. All of his fur was in fact fine grass, his horns ironwood. He headed back to Cori and nodded at her. "Your turn. I'll keep an ear on the child."

[Lupis]

((Doublepost, ignore.))

[Serendipity82]

Myriana - Dalaran

Myri inwardly winced as Thren's grip hurt her hand, but did her best to ignore it. Instead, she nodded in agreement with Zaruuk. "I agree. The sooner this ends, the sooner we can all sleep peacefully." With that she turned to Decay, waiting to see what the Deathknight had to say.

[TygerDarkstorm]

Indigosa--Dalaran

Indi gave Decay a pained look. "Quickly," she muttered through grit teeth. "Control. Slipping." She figured fewer words were better when her vision and head were starting to swim.

Putting her hands to her head, the death knight saw Umbra between her fingers and an idea occurred to her. She turned her red-tinged gaze to Faron. "Can you transfer Shadow Cat's bond to me?" she asked the wolf.

[Litlemouse]

Little Mouse and Moony - Dalaran

Little Mouse nodded, glad to see that Elevander was going to be alright, and then went over to sit on a hovering bench and just enjoy the sunlight. Pretty soon though, Little Mouse heard a loud commotion and wandered around the corner to see a troop of Draenei Vindicators. Scratching her head, wondering why they were here, she perked her ears at the mention of "kidnap". "What's going on?" she asked, not too loudly. They seemed pretty upset, and she didn't want to intrude. "Who got kidnapped?"


Moony's pelt bristled at the large group of Draenei. What were they doing here? He lifted his head to show he wasn't scared. After several moments of being ignored, Moony decided they weren't any threat, as long as they didn't wake him up when he wanted to nap.

((Also, what are they gonna think when they find Ina having cookies and tea? O.o))

[BrickWall]

((Urg. I guess I need to sleep less or something.))

Elevander - Dalaran

"Yes Squires can be... a handful." Elevander replied to Rose, watching the undead gryphon. "Yet I've never seen a horse... or a mount for that matter like him. I've seen the other paladins with their mounts and that seems as far as it goes. The relationship between Squires and myself seems closer to your own relationship with your sporebat... hat, or Myri and Swift, Little Mouse and her cat... and now I've talked too much. My pardon Mi'lady if I've bored you."

Elevander followed the group back into the tavern once he had finished reattatching the pauldron and vambraces of his armour. Taking a seat not too far from Zaruuk, Elevander could feel or sense something different about the mage. He didn't know what to make of it yet.
When he heard about the kidnapping of Threnaad's daughter, he felt the sudden need to... do something that Squires would approve of, but he saw the wisdom in what Zaruuk said.
"We shouldn't rush into this... at least not yet." He said then shuddered. "I think I just said a cardinal sin. Rushing in blindly is a paladin job desription, I believe."
"I dont think we can avoid this trap, but we could spring on our terms, not theirs."

[Litlemouse]

((I need to sleep more, it's 3am here :O Trade? Just joking XD))

Little Mouse - Dalaran

Little Mouse listened to the conversation that was going on, picking up pieces of it and putting them together. A young... girl, had been kidnapped by... Sen? Little Mouse bit her lip, trying to figure out what that meant. Well, Sen was obviously the kidnapper, and it sounded like the group was about to go rescue her. Little Mouse kept listening, trying to make sure she understood.

[Saturo]

Cori - Mulgore

"Sure.", Cori said, pouring up a cup for the draenei. "I guess he's gearing up, huh?", she remarked to Lightfur as she walked down towards the camp, receiving her own infusion.

Decay - Dalaran

"According to the book, they would already be infused by now, and about to start a war.", Decay said, holding the page up for the others to see. "They hit Camp Bloodhoof first, which is where I suggest we strike. They won't expect a well geared, numerous gang such as us.", she said, before whistling to call in the reinforcements already there. "Now, here's my plan. We have dragons, who are good at taking out large crowds, and we have death knights, who are skilled at taking down casters. The majority of the cultists seem to be casters, and they number in the hundreds, which means that the dragons and the death knights together should be capable of dealing with them. We also have paladins. Paladins are good at taking down melee, which we don't have a lot of. The poison cultist is a threat, and I believe the vindicators and Elevander could deal with her on their own. At the same time, we have all the caster-leader cultists, including two healers, a druid and a priest. My suggestion is to have me, Akiralios and Steve take care of the druid, while the rest of you focus down the priest. Mages, you polymorph the rest of them until we're ready to deal with them, in other words, when the healers are dead. As for the rest of you... Help wherever it's necessary. Send any pets you have at the troll, we need to keep him distracted, and the pets can probably evade his attacks easily enough.", she said, pointing at the various groups as they came up, before turning to Azunara. "Azunara? Go with Kozri and the dragons, and try to cause a distraction to keep them safe. Preserve your energy."
