Group A

Sana rolled her eyes at Tobias and resisted the urge to smack him upside the back of the head, she had more important things to tend to than the ravings of someone that gutted someone and then had the lack of thought to chastise her for killing someone who had tried to either kill or enslave them. Following Lob she made sure to make the ride as easy as possible since she didn’t know how much the person behind her had actually ridden; those that tended not to have a mount tended not to know how to ride. Hearing Vaeri speak made Sana swallow hard and she let out a long sigh.

“I’m trying not to,” she said as they continued on their way. Taking a breath as the thought of Hugh injured coming to her mind. “I went overboard I know that,” she added in a remorseful voice, not for killing the man but for the brutality of it all. “Seeing Hugh like that… It made me snap. The man has been through more in his life than I would even wish on people like these slavers,” she added trying to explain why she had snapped the way she did. “He saved my life, has taken care of me, watched over me and it was my fault he nearly got himself killed. If I hadn’t called for him, that stab wound wouldn’t have happened, the thought of losing him…” Sana said as she tried to speak more but found herself choking back tears. She had more to say but she couldn’t continue and she rode the rest of the way in silence.

Lob led the way from the town and Sana kept pace a little bit behind him, weaving Rodger from the road and through the woods. He wasn’t as agile as Epona was but he was a good horse and was doing well. There was not a lot of underbrush to worry about thankfully. A smell started to emanate from the woods and Sana found herself having to struggle to keep from gagging. She had never smelt anything so horrific in her life; something on the wind smelt like rotting flesh, fire, death and other things too horrible to speak of. Just what was causing it she was afraid to find out but whatever it was Lob seemed to be following it.

Small streams of smoke came into view as they got closer to the camp and Sana could hear dogs barking. Oh joy, she thought to herself, just one more thing they didn’t need. Slavers were enough to deal with but dogs on top of it was not something she had counted on; granted she hadn’t counted on anything since she wasn’t thinking clearly from earlier and now because of the smell. Another thing she hadn’t counted on was the sight that came quickly into view and Sana pulled back on the reins of the draft horse and brought him to a sudden halt as the camp came fully into view and she gasped in horror. “Oh my god…” she whispered as she looked over to the others that were with her. It was worse than she had ever expected.

The camp seemed to be set up as a holding position for the slavers. There was a wagon that was full of men and women that looked like they had been locked up in it for weeks nearly starved to death and at least a couple from what she could see that were already dead and being stood on top of. There were several cages hanging from the trees with individuals in that looked to be in even worse shape. One man was tied to a post who had his back torn open by what it looked to be whip marks barely holding onto to life and a woman who had been hung from a tree; how long she had been dead was anyone’s’ guess.

There were several horses tied up around the camp that looked to be far better taken care of than the captives and more than a dozen dogs with teeth bared looking like they were ready to rip her and her companions throats out. There were only a little more than half a dozen of the slaves party there and the rest where nowhere to be seen but there were horse tracks that led out of the encampment and Sana worried that they were headed back to the village to finish the job off. She wanted to turn around and head straight back out of worry for Hugh and the rest but she knew she couldn’t turn back now.

The part of the slavers group that remained was armored up in chainmail and had their weapons drawn. Three carried twin blades, one with a bow, one with a whip and two with axes. The one with the whip looked at the group and smirked as he began to release the dogs and commanded them to kill. Sana jumped down and drew her bow quickly. “Make it fast, kill them quick,” she said to the group before she drew an arrow from her quiver and took aim. She wanted this over fast; one to get back to town as quickly as possible and two to get these poor people out of their confinement.

K, everything is looking good so far for the set up for the next fight.

Right now this is where we stand:

Group A is waiting on Lob to lead the way to the encampment.

Group B is waiting on Mel (who I think is holding post until Hanzo has a post up) and Wits.

@Horrid@Luminosity How I picture Dizzak saying hi to Fiona as he sits there

Cinder Sickness - A DnD style classic RP

@Dragoknighte@Horrid@Billsomething@Melkor@Kronshi@Luminosity@Penultimate_Pi@TheWizardLizard@Warrior In The Shadows@knighthawk

Group A - Mount up - We are moving out - Knighthawk, I will be pming you will layout to get to the camp.

Group B - You are on your own for now. Bodies need to be cleaned up, villagers will not help, they are staying locked up. The people running in the inn will provide food and a place to clean up.

Posting rotation will be as follows

Group A - you need to get ready to move out. Vaeri will be riding with Sana on the draft horse. Fiona and Drizzak on Fionas horse. Lob should be plenty big enough to keep good pace to lead up to the camp. (Once a post is made for Lob, Vaeri and Fiona is made we can move ahead. I know Horrid can keep up with the post since we don't need anything huge just yet.)

Group B - Posting rotation isn't a huge thing for your group yet but it will be come my next post. Please let me know if you will skip this rotation so I know when to post incoming on you all. Other wise Group B is free to post in what ever order and how ever much you want, just make sure at the end of any post you are ready for the attack. (Once I get 1 post from each in group B I will start your attack.)

Sana

Sana nodded towards those that had agreed to come along with her; seeming the only ones willing to go where the women and the two that most of the world looked at as monsters. Perhaps they were but right then Sana didn’t care. With what happened to Hugh she wasn’t thinking or acting like her usual self, the fact that it had been slavers that had brought this on only made matters so much worse. Turning as she heard Hugh she ran over to him wondering what was going on. She had never seen him like this and had no idea what had caused the sudden change in his demeanor.

Resting down on her knees next to him, reaching up and trying to cup his face in her hands but his hands were covering his face and in his hair. The way he was acting was frightening her and as best as she could she couldn’t make any sense of the words he was uttering, the only thing that made any sense was him apologizing for not being good enough but even that didn’t sound right. He had done fine today, had gotten hurt and scared her but he lived and she lived. Was it something from his past? One of those horrors he had mentioned to her in passing but refused to speak about?

“Hugh,” she whispered as she tried to get his attention. “Look at me Hugh,” she said in a soft voice, “come on look at me.” As he seemed to calm down she sighed deeply, he seemed to look exhausted from whatever had just happened. She wanted to know what it was but she wasn’t going to push for answers, not now. She was afraid it would trigger something else. Instead she reached out and wrapped her arms around him, pulling him close; resting her head against his. “It’s okay,” she said in a loving voice, “I’m here, everything is alright.” Running her fingers down his cheek she pulled back and tried to smile at him. “You stay here and rest. I’ll be back soon, I promise.” Leaning in she kissed him softly. ‘You’re gear is right there,” she said pointing to the items she had brought down from there room earlier, they were only a few feet from them.

As Tobias went on his rant Sanas eyes narrowed as she looked towards him and rose from her place; fingers trailing off Hugh as she stood there. A look coming over her features, one that Hugh would know well and perhaps Drizzak would remember. It was the same look that came over her when a certain former associate of theirs snapped over keeping a Lich alive, a lich that had just tried to kill each of the party they had been with at the time.

“There are monsters in this world and most of them take the form of humans,” Sana growled as she stood there. “Have you ever dealt with these people before? Any of them? Do you know why they did what they did? No, anymore than we know why you have done what you have done to get by in this world. So fine, stay behind, tuck your fucking tail and run from it. Let them stay out there and turn a blind eye. That’s your choice but you tell me this. With more of these monsters in the area, you really think there will be any orphans left to save when we get back? Or what will happen to them once they are healed?” Sana snapped in a cruel tone that rarely ever left her lips.

“Yeah, he’s dead and you know what he won’t ever get to imprison another child, another son or daughter, another mother or father, another friend or loved one,” she added before rubbing her temples and began to throw as much stuff off Hughs horse Rodger as she could as quickly as she could. “Anyone coming with me, get your horse, we ride out now,” she said as she swung up into the saddle on draft horses back and held her hand out towards Vaeri. “You ride with me,” she said waiting to help Vaeri up and to settle down behind her. “Drizzak, you’re with her,” she said pointing over towards Fiona.

“Alright Lob,” she said turning her attention to the half orc. “Find the pack,” she said, waiting for Lob to lead the way.

Sister Agnes

Sister Agnes leaned against the post where she had last thrown up near and sighed as she took a deep breath. She watched the thief tear into almost everyone there, seeming to direct most of his attack towards Sana personally. She understood his anger and she couldn’t fault him for it but when Sana tore back into him she wasn’t surprised. Watching Sana mount up on the large horse she took a deep breath and stepped over to her.

“Be careful, these are cruel people. I have dealt with them before. They have kidnapped many in the area and…. We have found bodies in the forest and along the road of those they have taken that did not survive…” she added as she looked at the five that had decided to hunt down the rest of the slavers. She couldn’t condone what they had done or what perhaps they had planned to do but she wouldn’t try to stop them either. It was bad enough to lose children to an illness they couldn’t cure but to lose them to what Sana referred to as monsters was far worse.

Sana nodded towards the sister and looked over towards Lob, waiting for him to lead the way before she kicked her heels and pushed Rodger forward to keep up with Lob. She just hoped with all the yelling and fighting between the group and only being five of them it would be enough and that not too much time would have passed to let the slavers regroup.
