"Noted! Let us go forth and enjoy this wonderful party, or atleast, get something to eat." He says, nodding as everyone took off, rushing to keep up the pace and laughing to himself.

This day was getting better and better. Who knew how it was going to end, but with any luck, it would be a peaceful ending, and not one of great annoyance with something terrible happening... Hopefully.

[Deamonbane]

The creature snarled. It could feel darkness in solid for approaching. He had been seen. That wasn't good. That was twice now, that creatures of magic had spotted him. That just wasn't good for business.

Fuck that, he was in for a good fight anyway.

He smelled them first. The deep stench of souls that should have been in heaven or hell, depending on their lives, were here, in the control of a creature of darkness. Haldor was a creature of darkness. Made sense that they could feel him. He now saw them, stepping out of the underbrush, the powerful runes on their bones hurting his eyes. His muscles tensed, and a deep growl erupted from his throat. His poison would have been useless against against these creatures, but his powerful, crushing strength should do the trick.

He jumped easily to a tree, twenty feet up. The creatures looked up, but it was gone again, hammering down on one of the undead, pulverizing the skull. The creature just got back up. An irritated growl, and a deep bite out of the rest of the creature. It dropped, dead. Again.

Well, that was one. The creature looked up, and saw dozens more. Dammit.

Ashley filled a plate with foods of all types, and ordered a lamb to be brought for Maruk. The ceremony still in the back of her mind, she smiled when she spotted Adelaine, Alex, and Seraphina in the crowd. "Adelaine! Alex! Seraphina! Might I have words with the three of you?"

[Airiose]

The blue-runed skeletons were not phased by the destruction of one of their comrades. More would come soon, and there were still thirteen that had cleared the treeline.

The first four charged at the beast, their jaws hanging loose and an eerie, banshee like scream echoed from their empty rib cages. They raised rusted swords or heavy wooden clubs, and several of them had half-rotten shields with strips of leather clinging to it.

One of them stood back, he appeared to be their unofficial commander, and it was the heaviest armored, with ancient paladin-like plate mail made of tarnished silver. He carried a large longbow, which he drew back an arrow while shouting into the forest with a magically enhanced and echoing voice in a language long dead but understood by his rotting brethren, "Rah hishba es nu ferrack." It called, letting loose and arrow and gripping with bone white fingers at another.

Within moments, Adelaine was surrounded by lights and sounds, bright orange lamps and hearty laughter. Alocreies towered over the festivities, a daunting presence that caused some to stare up in awe, and ensured that no one got in the group's way; dragons were hard to miss. The small girl smiled, looking around for the source of that delicious smell, when she heard a commanding but cheerful voice not far away.

"Adelaine! Alex! Seraphina! Might I have words with the two of you?"

As she glanced over toward Ashley, the rider remembered something very important. Maybe I should ask about that Necromagi, and the Koerso Dyvern...

I'd say that's a good idea, little Adelaine. The dragon turned her attention toward Maruk, lowered her head in greeting. At the very least, we should see if they have a plan. Adelaine taking a moment to smile back at her other companions and wave them along, Alocreies huffing and puffing in order to clear a path, the two made their way through the festival.

[Ericnox]

Alex smiled as he walked, his arms behind his back and smile upon his face, enjoying the sights and smells of the festival. Then the voice came, a woman's voice calling out to the group, suddenly perking up his mind.

Looking to the woman, he started towards her, still not saying very much at all but wondering what she would want of them at this point, perhaps she needed a task done or wanted them to say something, who knows?

[Seraphina]

Sera heard her name called before she saw who called them and sighed, her stomach grumbling in protest but smiled at her mentor and joined the pair in finding out her request. Sere nodded her head in respect for Ashley and waited for Izotz to catch on they would be making a detour. Izotz growled slightly but followed up the rear behind the three till they stopped; his jaw coming down to rest on her shoulder and his eyes watching Ashley as he let out a huff of cold air. 'You wanted us Ashley, Maruk?' She asked, taking the lead slightly and throwing a sheepish grin at the other two.

[HunterHornwen]

"Ah, good, all three of you! I'm glad to see that you're here enjoying the party! Come, I'm going to treat you to dinner and ask a favor of you." Ashley smiled and headed toward the nearest food vender, pulling out a heavy bag of coins, her pay from the castle. She really had no need for such riches, so she would just as soon spend it on other people. "Get whatever you like, money is no issue here."

She waited patiently for the three to get their food, handed the required payment to the happy merchant, and found an empty table for the four of them to sit at. When they were comfortably seated, she spoke again. "I'm not sure if you three are aware or not, but I'm in charge of the ceremony tomorrow and I need some help. Any chance I might get you guys to help me out?"
