Tales of the Hunt ((Open RP))

[Lupis]

Faron, Cult of the Damned building

Faron snorted, somewhat unimpressed. There were greater powers in the world, yet to be unleashed. Letting the loss of one leader cripple them was weak.
"No reason to only kill initiates. I thought 'heros' swarmed this land. It seemed more lively then Silithus, in any case. Just take out some of those, kill two birds with one stone."

Rassaa, Storm Peaks/Sholizar

Rassaa looked around at the storm giants. They hadn't had any jobs for her, so she was free to head back to her hunting grounds. She didn't feel like flying, though, and Onyxin looked tired, so she dug a compact disk-like contraption out of her bags. She pressed down on the edges of the disk gently, spinning it slowly. After a few seconds it began to hum. It got louder, then started to grow into a roar. As it reached a bellow she threw it away from her, turning her head away, eyes closed tightly. When she looked back, an unstable, wavering hole in the air stood before her, showing quickly moving scenes of several lands. She watched carefully, identifying the pattern, then threw herself through the portal.
The warm, damp air of Sholizar greeted her. Smiling, she looked down, noting with annoyance that she was perched precariously on a very small overhang. Wasps buzzed franticly along below her. Great. Sighing, she began climbing down, taking her time and using her mining pick as a climbing tool. Sprocket unfolded, then dug his legs into the cliff wall and easily scampered down the vertical surface.

[Raydex-of-the-dawn]

Raydex, Deadlock, Epidormi - Near Glimmering Pillar

"Well." The dragon sighed. "This pillar is really, really big, isn't it? I bet they're-"

"Look!" Raydex pointed to a small plant on the ground. "Adder's Tounge! Land here so I can pick it!" The dragon hissed but landed early. Well, at least they'd get to the pillar soon - if the elf didn't get too distracted. After about half a minute of picking, bagging, and searching for any of the elusive Frost Lotus that was sometimes found under the leaves of larger plants, they returned to their flight.

"Honestly, Ray," Deadlock said with the closest a snake could come to a sigh, "I think finding a plant means more to you than actually seeing what Dormi thought she saw. What did it look like?"

"I'm not sure, it was pretty far off, you know."

[Saturo]

((Aww... Had a great attack written up. :( ))

Decay - Scholazar

Decay froze, the ropes dropping to the ground.

Saturo - Cult of the Damned

"I'm sorry, Lord, but we need to keep operations here undercower.", the Cultist said with a bow, before quickly disappearing out the door.

Saturo shrugged, and unsheathed the sword. "These cultists aren't like the ones in the Hammer.", she said, and stuck the sword right trough the bodies in a single stabbing motion. The sword swayed slightly, like some wicked flagpole in a heavy wind. Saturo started chanting a silent, demonic spell. The summoning circle and the runes on her sword started glowing.

[Azunara]

((Awww. *comforts Sat* Don't worry. Kozri still needs a lot to practice.))

Azu and Kozri
Sholazar

The druid looked at the drake and Decay, then took her avian form, leaping into the sky. She noticed something...golden scales. Golden...bronze. Bronze dragon. She dived towards the rest of them, landing near Kozri. "It's one of your Flight members, Koz!" She said, and the dragon shifted to his human form. The bronze would likely see through the disguise, but if it had any sense, it wouldn't say anything.

[Raydex-of-the-dawn]

Raydex-Epidormi-Deadlock

Epidormi tossed her wings back, flailing slightly, upon seeing the druid in midair - she was similar to their old friend Drassil when she went into flightform - but quickly recovered. She proceeded to go lower, eventually stopping to hover above Azu, the disguised Kozri, and Decay.

"Oh, so you're what I saw! Hey, Raydex, see? I told you something was over here!"

"That's very nice," she informed the dragon. "Now would you mind landing?"

[Azunara]

Azunara and Kozri
Sholazar

Azunara said quietly, "I told you so!" Kozri blinked at the other member of his flight. He was briefly surprised at her boldness. He wouldn't think she'd dare show her real form in front of strangers. Nonetheless, he watched the drake carefully, in case it would attack. Azunara seemed rather pleased with herself though, warning the pair before they came.

[Lupis]

Faron, Cult of the Damned building

Faron snorted softly again. "No kidding..." the troll muttered. For a cult with such prestige, they were far too weak. Both stood by Sat's side, Faron sitting with his tail curled around his paws, watching the ritual curiously.

Rassaa, Sholizar

Rassaa fell the last few feet to the ground, swatting at a young wasp that got too close. Sprocket had apparently found a safe way out, as he was waiting for her, waving a claw and whirring.

[TygerDarkstorm]

Indigosa--Sholazar

Indi heard the wingbeats as well and rose to her feet in a fight crouch, weapon unslung. She looked up towards where Azu had seen the other bronze drake and jokingly said, "I can't seem to escape dragons all of a sudden now, can I?"

Alarial--Sholazar

Alarial hated violence and seeing the others tense up made her nervous. She stood up to be better prepared should they be attacked, but she hoped for something they could talk themselves out of.

[Saturo]

Decay - Scholazar

Decay got in a rush upon seeing the other drake. She quickly reeled in the ropes, hiding them under the armor, and packed the blanket down. Wouldn't want a real fight, and dragons tended to be aggressive to people wearing hunting gear.

Saturo - Cult of the Damned building

Saturo drew the sword out of the corpses, and the faint glow from the sword seemed to transfer into them. The corpses opened their eyes, and slowly got up.

"There we go. Fresh Death Knights. Not done EXACTLY as the ritual entails, but any undead should work."

[Raydex-of-the-dawn]

R/E/D

Epidormi hissed and raised herself several more feet in the air. They looked ready to attack, and the last thing the already-completely-pathetic dragon needed was a fight. Sure, she loved fighting...she was just really, really bad at it. Like...absolutely miserable.

Raydex sighed. "Hey!" she yelled. "'Dormi and I aren't going to attack - we'd likely get ourselves killed, from the looks of it. No promises on Deadlock, though." She patted the wind serpent affectionately.

[Lupis]

Faron, Cult of the Damned building

Faron shrugged his blue-furred shoulders, eyeing the 'death knights' curiously. "Looks like the spell worked well. How should we test their strength? Apparently this cult isn't in for attacking enemies."

[Azunara]

Azunara and Kozri
Sholazar

Azunara looked up at them, "Sorry. We just got a bit surprised. Most of the time, dragons tend to try and eat your head off." She remarked, trying to cover for Kozri. Kozri watched them carefully, waiting to see what they'd do.

[Saturo]

Saturo - Cult of the Damned Building

"Hmm... How about you fight them? They're too pathetic to hurt you, anyway."

[TygerDarkstorm]

Indigosa--Sholazar

Indi relaxed her fighting pose, keeping her rune axe casually in one hand and warily watching the night elf, the drake, and the wind serpent.

Alarial--Sholazar

Alarial relaxed, glad to know that these were just curious travelers and that a fight would be avoided. She heard Avalanche squawk and land beside her.

[Raydex-of-the-dawn]

R/E/D

"Understandable, but I believe Epidormi would likely choke," Raydex giggled. The dragon hissed at her but landed, permitting her and Deadlock off onto the ground. Deadlock hissed a thanks before turning to the small group ahead of them. Raydex whispered a sharp "no" at her when she began to spark at the maw.

"Sorry about her. She's a little aggressive."

[Azunara]

Kozri and Azu
Sholazar

Azunara grinned brightly, "That's okay! Some of my cousin's companions were a bit hostile too. I'm Azu!" She said, and flicked her tail at the human, "And that's Kozri, and that's Decay, and that's Indi, and that's Alarial." She added, pointing a paw to each person.

[Lupis]

Faron, CotD building

Faron examined the death knights, then shrugged again. "Sounds like good practice for me. I haven't done enough fighting in this body." He stood, circling the death knights, while Vallrok stayed by Saturo, taking hold on his crossbow and putting in a bolt.

Rassaa, Sholizar

Rassaa had gotten to her camp, and had immediately gotten pounced by a 600-pound Devilsaur. Coming up behind him was a large lynx, a hyena, and two wolves. "Ach! Off ye great oafs! Enough with ye!" she shouted, pushing them away. Sprocket was placed on a box, and Tinder the lynx patted on the back. Absently she put a few bags of engineering supplies in a corner, grabbing a box of bullets and calling for her horse. The black beast ran up, and she mounted. "Coming, Tinder?" She asked the red lynx, then aimed her horse towards the deep forest.

[Raydex-of-the-dawn]

RED

"A cousin who keeps beasts? Intresting!" Raydex grinned. "My old friend - she's like a sister to me - is a druid like you." Deadlock hissed, but more quietly.

"Beasstkeeperss are pretty intressting," the snake agreed.

[Azunara]

Azunara and Kozri
Sholazar

Azunara nodded enthusiastically, "Yeah! Her name is Nalrania, but everyone calls her Firewing." Azu tilted her head. "What's your friend's name?"

[Raydex-of-the-dawn]

RED

"Drassil's her name. She's really into healing...Last I heard from her, she was in Dragonblight, though."
