Crystal Hearts - A D&D PbP Campaign <3

[Sanaki]

Flinching from the noises coming from the darkness Marisa looked down at the floor, what could they do? they had no idea what this creature behind them was, how were they suppose to know what to do?

A idea popped into Marisa's head as she spotted a single rock laying on the cave floor, picking it up and examining she smiled it was a perfect shape and size for her plans, casting light on the stone she squinted her eyes surprised at the intense ball of light she created, slowly inching to where Ol'gerr was she brought her arm back before launching the stone forward.

Gari was in the front of the group, her lantern held up in one hand, her other holding onto her sword, not wanting to be caught off guard. She looked at every nook and cranny that there was that they couldn't fit into in case monsters lurked there, "Hopefully we don't have to worry about getting lost in here." She said, muttering somewhat to herself.

[Meep Meepersons]

Everyone Looking: As the lit up rock flies into the darkness, a small child, shorter even then the half-ling becomes visible to you. The child is naked save for a loincloth, and is dragging what can only be discribed as a log the size of Gari's arm behind it. The child reels back and starts to snarl, ruffling it's nose and exposing it's sharp teeth. The child appears human in all aspects save for the black streaks in her messy orange hair. On her back is a makeshift sling of a pack made from animal hides, same as her loincloth. Her lips have a bit of blood on them, probably from eating the snake raw.

Kitty: YOU ALMOST SHOT A CHILD! WHATS WRONG WITH YOU!?

[TCELESBHSUP]

Even if it was a child, Kathryn remained on her guard. However, her visage softened slightly, her grip weakening a little on her sword. Sure, the child was an utter savage, managing to grab and tear apart a snake with its teeth before the snake could even become aware of its exact presence, but she had something of a weakness when it came to children. Call it some kind of maternal instinct, buried deep inside of her. "... A child?" She murmured, quickly glancing to her right and straight at Ol'gerr. She didn't know what to do here. She couldn't exactly think properly. Needed guidance.

Drak had turned around cringing at the same time, and saw what had killed his best friend gave it a glare and did a hand gesture to cast produce flame and hurled it at the girl with no remorse.

[Kittykitty501]

"well.. that was.. rather unexpected to say the least.."

She blinks a few times to make sure she was seeing what everyone else was seeing and with a giggle she knelt down and aimed the bow down a little. was it really just a child and what was up with her? some savage human child gone wrong? she looked up to Kath and tilted her head shrugging her shoulders in shock more than anything. Her elf eyes turned back to the childs still curious about its razor sharp teeth and like eyes.

"well.. what do we do?"

she was clueless about it to behonest and she felt a little guilt thinking about how close she was to firing her arrow at the child. she finally smiled a little at the child and pulled out a bit of bread from her back pack and offered it to her but quickly squeaked as the fire ball flew past her head, toasting the bread a little as it went for the kid.

"nooo you fucking fool!"

[That_One_Guy]

Gari saw Drak produce the fireball and saw it hit, she was about to yell at Drak about what he had done before it suddenly lunged at Drak to attack him. Gari then put away his sword and lunged at the girl herself, attempting to grapple and subdue her in order to calm her down.

[Goryokaku]

Kal looked at the child intrigued, she was still at the furthest point from everyone else.

[Motoko]

/me watches as the rock flies, revealing the child, he would cock his head curiously "What manner of youth is this?" he asked to no one in particular, running the coin around atop his finger in thought, Seeing Drak hurl the fireba;; at the child he quickly moved to action as fast as his legs could take him, rushing towards the feral looking child in an effort to throw her out of the way "She didn't know any better!" he would shout to drak as he moved hoping to either reach the girl or get in the way of the blast.

[Meep Meepersons]

dndman: Your rage fuels your magic, and the flame grows to it's maximum possible size, and you throw it. The flam sores passed your allies, and hits the child in the face, directly. The flame burns the flesh and causes the child to reel and grab it's face. As soon as it's done though, it growls and bares it's teeth to the group. The flesh that was burnt simply falls away and heals almost instantly. You curse under your breath as you realize your attack did virtually nothing.

Child: The child lunges forward and jumps a surprisingly great distance. The child passes everyone, and lands right in front of Drak, the roars at him. A sudden fear hits you, but your rage easily overcomes it. It seems this child is not what she seems.

[dndman997]

Drak with sudden reaction back stepped a bit and tried another spell as he lifted his shield up to protect him bashing the child if need be, the spell he tried to cast was something to slow it down, Entangle, the spell failed before in the village but maybe here there were some deep roots he could use to slow the child down.

[Kittykitty501]

she watched almost in slow motion as the child lept over her and the others, landing before DRak and she shook her head a little, he deserved a good punch in the arm for attacking the poor child and now it could be over for him. She should've trusted her instincts and forced her team mates to leave the room but nope they didn't listen but at least everyone was quick to try and stop the child. Her markings looked rather familiar but she didn't know where she had seen them before. She raised her bow and aimed at the child again but knew if she fired now, someone might be hit.

"for the love... why did you attack the child you maniac!"

[TCELESBHSUP]

Turning on her heel, Kath would promptly run over to Drak and Garian, looking very much irritated. And people thought that she was untrustworthy for attacking an adult. Valiant effort on Sasha's part, at least, trying to get the girl out of the way. "You damn idiot!" Even she wouldn't respond so harshly when it came to a child! Obviously the girl had raised herself, and likely knew nothing of druids. Then again, Kathryn hardly did either. She didn't know what was so special about that snake, other than the fact that he'd trained it or some such.

[Motoko]

Sasha shakes his head as the child jumps over not only her head but most everyone else's as well. He really couldn't believe his eyes, he also couldn't believe that he had yet another thing to add to his increasingly long list of failures since this quest had began. Just perfect.

[Meep Meepersons]

dndman: Your spell fizzles, there appear to be no roots here. Just how far down have you gone?

ToG: With a mild struggle, you manage to grab and pin the child underneath you. She is VERY strong! Too strong for a normal child! You end up having to kneel on her shoulders to prevent her from getting away. As you do, you notice a pair of cat like ears atop her head, which makes you wonder what she really is. You can also feel something lightly batting against your back, your immediate guess is a tail, but do not look back as your focused on holding the child.

Moko: You attempted to stop the flame and save the child but are not fast enough. The child seems to be fine, but then leaps over your head, much to your surprise. *for your previous post* At least the child was fine, that fills you with a bit of relief, though now you are not sure it being fine is a good thing.

Child: The child struggled viciously, gnashing her teeth in attempts to bite the one who threw fire at her, stopping when she realized she could not move. Her face is beat red, likely flush with rage and humiliation. There are no scars on her face, nor wounds.

[TCELESBHSUP]

As a bystander, Kath certainly noticed the ears and tails with her close proximity. And it was obvious that Garian was struggling- sheathing her greatsword, Kathryn would move to aid the much larger woman in keeping the girl restrained, though she wasn't being particularly rough. "Can you speak?" She asked the girl soon enough, looking directly into her eyes. And making sure she was also between Drak and the apparently cat-like child.

[Taria]

Praedy picks up the glowing rock from the ground and slides it into her crotch, creating a thin slit as it gets sucked into her body. "Now I'm shiny!" She giggles.

[Goryokaku]

Kal sighed, watching the child leap into action was interesting she wondered if blind rage had made the druid act so stupidly, "The childs not human, if it was human it wouldn't be carrying such a large club or it wouldn't have eaten a viper raw with out being effected by the posion. She certainly wouldn't have survived down here with out being dragged off to where all the other villagers are." Kal wasn't sure what the girl was she needed to move, and move fast cause the only thing between her and the child with abnormal and some what chillig abilities was the Druid who idiotically attacked her. But watching Garian tackler her and in the girl down and the struggling stop Kal walked round the druid and got down close to the girl she opened up her pack and pulled out some of her rations and proceeded to attempt to feed the pinned child. "Now girl, Aunty Kal's here so eat your dinner and think on the bad thing you did, eating a viper like that raw, don't you know it's bad for the stomach, and you don't know where it might have been, come on if your hungry eat some of Aunty Kal's supplies."

[Motoko]

Sasha watches for a moment before striding forward, his daggers sheathed now as he moves past everyone, eyeing the child with interest as she's held down, he produces the coin, using his most enduring smile as he offers it to her deciding it might be worth the risk to talk to the child. "Hey there girly, I think you might of dropped something" he says, completely ignoring draks obvious fuming he chuckles lightly, such a nice shiny right? he asks her in a calming tone. It didn't really matter rather or not she could understand common but he supposed she would be able to tell he wasn't hostile by his tone.

[Kittykitty501]

Ol'gerr sighed a little and munched upon her rather toasted peice of bread before kneeling down next to the others, scanning the child who looked so helpless under the druids arms. It was a shame, she was probaly more curious about us that anything else. she shared a little cold stare with the druid and then looked back to the girl and smiled a little.

"poor child must've followed us here.. now she has a face full of burns and by the looks of her.. she humiliated.. maybe guys.. in the future.. be cautious hmm? you could've killed the poor girl"

she took a bit of her cloth as kal tried to feed her and wiped away some of the black markings from the fire blast.
