>Dyan nods to Daniel, having adopted his own stance in the event he was wrong about this group. He saw no need to be unprotected. Once the other man got closer, Dyan recognized him, and his expression lightened. "Ho, farmer. Or should I say Man-at-Arms?"

[Lugia]

> Once the other group gets close enough, Cynthia sort of shies away, saying "Uh, h-h-hello..." she later added "No, I... I'm not like the others... I... I was kidnapped from my farm, and changed into this thanks to some strange ritual... but, if I do end up attacking you, or even getting too aggressive around you... f-feel free to attack back, s-since that probably means that the THOUGHTS took over,"

By the way, just a thing... I'm going to leave most of the details of Cynthia's past up to @Mae, things like... was she a man or a woman before? What was her name before the change? And does she have any family left, if so, who are they? Would they recognize her?

The reason for this is because she kinda... forgot a lot about her previous life, and I'd like the reveals to be a surprise, even to me, lol.

>> Daniel is clearly weirded out but tries not to show it. "It might not be a good idea to go to the Old Fort, they have a lot of trouble with beastmen and I don't know how they will react to you."

@Lugia( That's pretty cool, I'll start working something out ;D )

As the group sizes each other up, a haunting howl rips through the air. Emerging from the treeline, two bloody eyes stare at you from above a skinless jaws, long gnarled fangs holding back a bestial snarl. The canine lunges towards you from the forest edge, bones jutting out of mangey furs at odd angles. It's lopsided gait doesn't stop it from covering the ground to the road and launching itself at Flint the Farmhand with a savage bite.

Flint silently screams as the creature rips into his chest and takes a bloody chunk out of him.

@Duthguy It's Dan's turn. The beast is beside him. What does he do?

[Duthguy]

@Mae

>> Seeing how the creature attacked Flint Daniel doesn't even consider letting Irene have a chance to catch and tame it. He draws his sword and attacks it "Smith, stay with Flint and Natter unless anyone else wants to keep an eye on them. Irene help me take it down."

@Duthguy The distorted creature jumps back with a snarl, and Dan just misses hitting it.

@ShovelNatters and Flint withdraw as Tendo steps forward. He looks nervously to Buford, hesitates, and then hits the feral beast with his stick. It connects over the creature's skull, and the crushing blow cripples it. The corpse twitches suddenly, and then rests. Tendo looks surprised.

Irene pokes it with her foot. "That ain't normal no sir. These woods be gettin dangerous alright."

[Mae]

Looks like interest is waning. Project closed.

[Lugia]

It's not really that, it's more... we're waiting for whose turn it's supposed to be next.

[Mae]

@Lugia yeah, since this is a forum game though it's unclear if people have moved onto other things from this.

Would you and @Duthguy and anyone else who's still lurking be interested if I moved it to the Free or 1x1x1 section? I'm still very much interested in running itn and I'm slowly getting the hang of bits and pieces.

[Duthguy]

I'm willing to give it a shot at least

[Lugia]

Sure, never been in a 'free' RP before, can't be too hard, though.
