okay, watched the first episode of goblin slayer, not nearly as bad as what it was made out to be. Still a bit depressing but hey, saved 2 of 4 rookies, coulda been worse.

So i figured out, as much as id love the equivalent of an anime doom guy slaying goblins, i dont like seeing the lovely anime chicas catch a case of the mutilation.

Bio



Why hello, you little stalker. As you can see above I have recorded your visit for potential future stalking purposes. In that list you may find some other recent stalking victims. You may wonder, "Oh no! I've been caught! Whatever shall I do! What will become of me!" Well... I can assure you nothing....as in really...nothing. Except the fact that you may have wasted a precious few moments of your life with this bio. In this, I can say for every person that reads this, I have stolen that moment in your life that you could have been doing something else. Anything really.....Are you still here? Shouldn't you...I don't know, be posting in one of your RPs? I'm sure somebody is waiting for your response, it might even be me. You are procrastinating aren't you? I know I am. At the very moment I typed this I was supposed to be writing papers for class. See? Now I've been wasting time on both our accounts. Look what you made me do.

Ok, that is enough stalking...

...

There really isn't anything else here...

...

I'm gonna call the police...

Delmina saw the incoming sludge and saw it best to avoid trying to guard it. Maybe if she had a larger shield, she could take it, but right now, even if she guarded, she would still get him by some of it. Instead, she dodged the projectile and quickly took stock of her surroundings before activating her veil. She wanted to make sure nothing was close to her when she prepared this, so only f the coast was clear, would she finish charging and plunging her ivy veil into the ground, and wit not even a second later, dozens of blades burst forth from the ground, erupting beneath the Grime and impaling it through its entirety. Though this may not kill it like it would lost thrall, it should hopefully disrupt the flow of the bile inside the creature enough to keep it from launching another attack.


Allard did seem to calm down after hearing what the explosion was about. Neev circled him a couple times trying to think about what to do and where to best administer what to the man. He was an absolute wreck. He should be dead. And from the scars the man had on him, He should have been dead before. What were these Vaurk men made out of anyway? Neev was worried that he might be too injured for her to heal him properly, her magic low once more and she only had so much mana potions left. It honestly wasn't healthy to fluctuate your mana back and forth between full and near exhausted repeatedly. It could cause mana sickness, and while it wasn't normally fatal in most stages, it doesn't do the body well. Neev, however, in her mind, saw it as a small price to pay to be able to make sure these people could continue with their lives.

Mana sickness generally showed as blue veiny markings growing across the body, usually concentrated around the person's flow of mana. Using too much magic, more than what a person is capable of containing, can cause this. Normally this happens when a mage burns too much mana, however, mana potions can restore a mage's mana back to the top, allowing their body to continue. However, if a mage repeats this process too many times within a certain period, their mana capacity starts to break down anyway. A mana potion will seem less effective as their body is unable to contain as much mana. Some mages during war time have been known to completely destroy the mana networks in their bodies due to overuse, rending them of their ability to use magic, with only a few of them able to restore it while still never to the same extent as they were previously. If mana hits what is known as 'critical zero' meaning that there is zero percentage of mana in the body, the person will die. The blue mana vein markings start to show when a mage is around a quarter of their mana.

When Neev finally saw Maeve starting to work her magic, that was when her tired mind finally clicked that she was an Isoli. Her ears flicked up, "An Isoli!" she said airily. "My prayers couldn't have been answered any better," she said as she approached Maeve. Neev was about a whole head and shoulders shorter than the Isoli, and if Maeve had an eye for detail, she may notice the starts of mana sickness on the young mage. It was slowly creeping up the sides of her cheeks, but most her concentration of man was in her hands, which were covered in the large vein-like marks. Neev noticed that Maeve was only using a minor healing spell, so he pulled out her spell book and held it out to her. "I see you don't know much healing magic, but this is fine! Not to worry, I have a book you may use. Concentrate your mana on my book, and the enchanted contents will lift themselves from it and to you, this should help you more than just here, but maybe later too." She had a weak smile, she was obviously at her wits end and glad that someone with the ability to do some real help finally arrived, but she was couldn't stop until all that could be taken care of was seen. Even if she didn't have the mana for magic, she could still operate.

Sahale looked inquisitively to Sev and Maeve, "local? No, not in the slightest. Neither of you have heard of Lord Calibris? Hmmm, I guess that is possible, if neither of you have left your kingdoms before recently, especially you," he added looking towards Sev. "Tundral is not too much better with communicating with the outside either. Anyways, he is a lord in the kingdom of Portea, on of the four major families, and unarguably the most powerful and wealthy of the families."

"May Kalaja take him...," Vog hissed as he stayed focused on his position but listening to their conversation. It wasn't a very Red Saints thing to say, being the fact that Kalaja is the lord of death, but he couldn't help it. Calabris was the source of many a people's anguish, especially in Portea. Even this situation, now that things were settling down, had Vog on edge. He was worried his companion would stretch herself to thin to the point of hurting herself, but she privately gave him quite the earful and decided to honor her wishes to push herself as hard as she was, even though he disagreed with it. Not that it was quite private, there were no real doors on the temple to enhance air flow and just about everyone there heard her rebuttal. "He is nothing but a plague to what could be a great city, and should be cut out...," he added irritably.

"Well put," Sahale remarked, looking to the drake beastman. Even Sahale's face turned a bit somber to it all before he cleared his throat, "Anyway, I'm sure the chief will want to know what has happened here, but after this, I think I should stay here for the rest of the night, just in case. I will head out to see how I can help the others in the morning." Sahale looked between the small group of people before a look of shock came to him. "I'm sorry, where are my manners? I don't believe I introduced myself. My name is Sahale, it's a pleasure to meet you, especially you," he finished to Maeve with a theatrical bow and a wink.







As if by instinct, Bidzil's legs went up when the blade was lowered on him, feet clamping Allanon's wrist in between the soles of his boots. It would have been a last ditch effort to manipulate the opponent's wrist to disarm or injure the wrist, and though Bidzil wouldn't try to do such a thing, Allanon speaking up snapped him back out of his fighting mindset, his eyes now much softer and seeing that he was bested. Bidzil sighed as his legs flopped back to the ground. "Aw, fine. You make a good point," he said, smirking at his own joke, however cliché it was. Bidzil put his arms above his head, resting the knuckles against the ground as he pulled his legs in once more and pushed off with his arms, flexing his back with it to hop back up to his feet quickly, weapons still in hand before sheathing on and once again holding his left arm out, weapon in hand for the customary knuckle bump.

"Hopefully I do a bit better then than I did now," he said with a light laugh. Once the formality was reciprocated, Bidzil sheathed the other weapon and went closer to where some of the people stuck around to watch, including Hilde and Chihiro, plopping down on the ground and crossing his legs. He started to put his jacket back over his shoulders and put his arms through, shaking out sand here and there. He then looked up to Chihiro, "I wouldn't mind sparing again, but Allanon is probably right about saving energy..." Bidzil looked down to his hand and flexed it a couple times. It had been weeks since he had last sparred with anyone, his hand was still slightly shaking with the excitement. He thought himself sloppy. He was downed in no time flat. The spar with Allanon raised the bar to Bidzil, and though he didn't know the caliber of the swordsman he sparred with just now, he promised himself to strive to be better than him one day. After all, he would have to if he were to run into whatever destroyed his town. Those Selna guards never stood a chance... Thinking of that brought him to his next dilemma, real battles. Sure there was some getting rough with people in town when keeping the peace, but it was never a battle with real bloodshed. "I, uh... guess this isn't the best thing to bring up at a time like this but... I've never actually seen real combat before," he admitted ashamedly. "Trantis...well... it was never really the focus of anyone's ire when it came to warfare. Most I've dealt with were common criminal types, not bandits or soldiers."

Hilde listened as the young man sat down. Growing up in Kalla, seeing men fight to the death to protect the town was unfortunately not so uncommon an experience. Even Hilde had helped fend off a small bandit raid or two, but it was never anything big. "It is brave of you to want to help, and you shouldn't sell yourself short. But it is a very serious decision you made coming here. These men will be fighting to kill, and struggle for life, rarely do they give up like a common theif. Skill is one thing, heart is another," Hilde told him. She then looked to Chihiro, "I guess I could spar with you if you want, then. Though, I probably don't have enough skill to be a challenge to you," Hilde offered.




Two lost approaching from behind, one giant grime creature. If they take out the lost first, they can focus their efforts on the larger creature, thus, the lost were her current primary target. When Delmina saw the creature preparing to spit out its ghastly fluids, she prepared her own ability. She used Fleet of Foot, upping her evasion so that she could leap backwards more effectively when it finally spewed. Now, however, she was in range of the two lost. One of the lost raised it's blade seeing her approach with her backstep, however, already planning for this, she has ended her leap by pivoting on her back leg and putting her bodyweight into a backhand with the shield, knocking him to the side making him roll a good way. He wasn't dead, yet. However the other one wouldn't fare to much better either, with Delmina drawing her light automatic and unloading on the other lost till it collapsed full of holes. At this short distance, it didn't stand a chance. Then, before the first one could get back up, she dashed towards it and landing a crushing blow to its head with her shield. When she moved back from the creature, she felt herself com back to back with Diamond as she had unloaded her own light automatic into another lost.

"These two are down," Delmina calmly said as she adjusted her attention to the giant grime as she prepared to attack it as well, bringing her shield up, placing herself between the grime and Diamond to give Diamond one less side to worry about for a moment. She had started to fire off at the monster this time when she noticed Bridget in the fray as well. Using a heavy weapon, she may do well with an evasion boost as well, and would use a bit more ichor to give her the boost as well. She could feel her ichor was about a third to a half full, she would need to drain this monster some when she thinks there is an opening, but for now, she wanted to study it's patterns a bit before making a foolish move. Using one's veil could leave them wide open if not timed correctly.

Delmina nodded to Diamond's response, a smile under her mask only noticeable due to the rise in her cheeks. She watched as the other two checked the bodies for any that may still be living. Lost had a knack for playing dead after all. She would watch, hanging back slightly just to keep an eye for any that may surprise them, even looking above for any that were hanging in wait for them to be so unlucky as to pass under.

Delmina's attention was then brought to the shining red light as well, though she was unsure about it. She heard of a thing called a vestige, and to never touch them, however, being this far away from it she could not quite make out what it was yet. Diamond tossed a rock towards it to see if whatever the object was had been used as a point for an ambush. Delmina tensed up, preparing for something to come at them, should that be the case.




Delmina seemed happy at least one of them wasn't so stand-offish. She nodded to Diamond, trying to ignore what the other had to say about her and focusing on the more productive conversation. "I also found some gauze and bandages, if you want them. There were some worn out tools as well, but those won't be any use until we can fix them. I'm Delmina by the way," she said as she retrieved the bandages and gauze, offering them to her. Delmina then heard Bridget go on about staying out of her way. Which did she want? A meat shield or for people to stay away? She was certainly doing well if she wished for the later. "Oh, I don't believe we will have any trouble with that...," she responded.

Delmina went ahead and broke two more, making three for her light, with two left for emergency light. They only had three hours, so she wasn't afraid of them fading too soon, but it would be nice to have a couple for later, maybe even another day, just in case. As they continued, Delmina would lash the lights to the right side of her belt, as putting them on the left would be mostly covered by her shield as she kept it at the ready, just in case. She didn't draw her firearm though. With darkness like this, it would most likely be close quarters if they had to fight. She only hoped it wouldn't be dark the whole time.




Delmina decided that what she found was well worth keeping for later. She picked up the bandages and gauze, as well as the worn tools, and placed them in a pouch. As for the box of chem lights, she picked it up and withdrew a bundle of five yellow sticks and took the rest to the group, deactivating her veil in the process. She cracked one of the yellow chem lights, which may have gotten their attention. "I found something that might help. It's not the strongest light, but it should last us while we are here," she said as she held out the box to the others. She would hold on to any not taken. "Breaking five should be enough to light for each person, which luckily seems just enough."




Delmina silently stood up from where she was resting and started to follow the others, now with a new piece of gear strapped to her chest. It was.... admittedly uncomfortable, but She supposed she could make it by with it, as it wasn't really cumbersome. It was tight and didn't rest well given her physique, and she could have sworn the revenant that put it on her was a bit too happy to be the one to do so. Though she wasn't sure, she seemed to blame herself that these things were even on them. They weren't there when she had last escaped. She had gotten a fair distance before being recaptured, and she had learned later that someone that she had confided in, one of the only ones she really talked to, had turned his back on her after hearing her plans to escape. In exchange for some more blood, he sold her out to the revnants, telling them her plans and what direction she had headed. He had also been one of the first to try to carefully tamper with the bombs when they brought them out. He was turned to ash before Delmina ever became conscious.

"I will do my best to keep you alive should you become injured..." Delmina responded to the first girl. After that, she was half listening to the catty bickering back and forth between the other two revenants. The second girl seemed to answer the first girl's last question as if being a volunteer to take the position as the 'ass' of the group. To what end would someone act so bitter? She could only guess that that was some odd way that they found their own joy. But... that one comment that she could have sworn to be directed at her, and only confirmed when the other looked to her as well. Her face flushed a bit, mostly but not all hidden under the mask, though it may have been too dark to see it. S-she wasn't fat, she believed herself to be quite fit, what did she mean by-.... oh.... B-but, that wasn't her fault!

She closed her eyes as she let out a soft sigh and turned towards where she remembered a door. Maybe there would be something to use inside it. As the others seem to slowly wake away, she quickly made her way to the door, her shield at the ready, her other weapon not yet drawn. With her free hand, she opened the door. When opened and from behind her shield, she readied her veil in case she needed an immediate counter attack, and to use as a makeshift light to see inside the door if there were any useful things inside.

- Restorative Offering: drain one's own health to give to another.

Gear:
- Heavy Shield

Memories:
Delmina could feel herself being carried, barely able to stay conscious. She had never thought that she would be captured again so quickly, after all that time and planning, she had finally escaped the revenants that forced her to go on such dangerous expaditions in search for blood beads, little of which they shared. She could barely remember her past, or how she got here. She hade a vague mental picure of her family, but her past and the cherished memories she once had of her family seemed to be harder to hold on to ever since she had become a revenant herself. She only held on to her first name because she remembered them saying it, and would repeat it to herself constantly. She wasn't even sure exactly how she got the scar on her face, but she didn't remember it being there before becoming this loathsome and ever thirsting creature she saw herself as. Delmina was kept on just enough blood to keep her sanity. enough to keep her from turning so that she could go and find more. However, this balancing act slowly caused what she held dear to slip away, her memories, fading one by one, until there was little more than focusing on survival, quenching her thirst, and keeping her head down.

She felt herself roughly tossed down onto the ground, a man grumbling about another escape attempt this week, and not her only one. She could feel now a pool of warm wetness forming around few spots, and the sound of others scrambling to her. It was the other thralls, like her, moving to try to tend to her wounds that were inflicted on her by her captors. A man shouted something, incoherent to Delmina, that made the others back off. But that was the last thing she remembered before blacking out.

The man would then let the other thralls run to help her, and maybe within a day or two, she may be sent out again.

Other:
Has a knack for art and music. She can't remember when she learned it, but she seems to be rather good at both.
