[h2][color=cyan]Leith Calder[/color] [i]Lyn's Hunt[/i][/h2]

Leith sighed as his attack was blocked by the other Paich, but at least that meant it wasn't trying to dig him a grave. Screaming started echoing through the forest. He looked over at Summer as she started growing a weed towards him. He grabbed ahold of the weed and then transformed his sword back into the trinket sized item. After a few moments, Leith was finally out of the pit that had been dug around him, but the screaming had stopped. They might have been too late to help whoever was screaming. Dread filled Leith as he looked towards the smoke. That was where the screaming had come from, but it was not in the direction of the meadow. He decided to take Meirin's advice and turned to Summer.

[color=cyan]”We need to go, now!"[/color] He said as he turned and sprinted in the direction of the smoke, keeping an eye out for any holes made by the Paich. Thankfully, there were none and he continued his sprint towards the smoke. He made it in time to see a man in  full armour loading a crossbow and a Naga coiling her tail around the vampire girl he hadn't gotten a chance to introduce himself to and leaning in to bite her. The man had loaded his crossbow and was now aiming it at the girl. He looked at Summer and pointed at the Naga. He could deal with the man. 

He picked up a nearby stone of the ground, and tested its weight in his left hand. It had some weight to it. He passed it to his right hand and threw it as hard as he could at the back of the man's helmeted head. [color=cyan][i]Alright, I guess now would be a good to time to ask about these people. Anything I should know about who I'm facing?[/i][/color] He mentally asked the ring that had warned him about these people as he attempted to hide the fact that he was out of breath from the run.

[h2][color=#C19A6B]Darius Jura[/color] [i]Catacombs[/i] [/h2]

Darius watched as the insane man and his demon took out quite a few ridge hounds. The stupid part was how much this man put himself at risk to kill just a few ridge hounds. Sure enough, there were more ridge hounds on their way. He had stopped creating motes of air as it was starting to tire him out, however, he was not too tired that he couldn't take on a few ridge hounds. One ridge hound lunged at him, but Darius side-stepped it and chopped his sword into its neck, nearly decapitating it. He wrenched his sword out and turned around in time to be bowled over by another ridge hound. He lost his hold on his sword and dropped it.

The creature was snapping its jaws at Darius' face, but he held it off. He unsheathed his dagger and slammed the blade into abdomen of the ridge hound. It yelped and tried shying away from the dagger, but Darius used that to his advantage an pushed the hound off of him. He pulled the dagger out and stomped the hound's head in. The sound of crashing rock jarred Darius' attention away from the current fight. He could just make out dust rising from the corridor ahead. Whatever it was, it didn't seem to want to attack the group, so Darius put it out of mind and went back to killing ridge hounds.

It wasn't until the elf girl started yelling about killing the Naga that Darius looked back towards the corridor. The shouting had come from the direction of the crash, but the girl wasn't in that direction. She was next to him. Darius frowned, something was going on, and he wasn't sure if he was going to like it.
