A Medieval Roleplay: The Demon War of Kurn

It was a black rose not amulet.... The black rose is what had magical properties.

Hotaru frowned at first as she heard the words the witch had spoken towards the paladin. How rude of her to behave that way. She shouldn't be too surprised though seeing as there was always a difference between a witch and sorcerer. Both could be evil but at least Sorcerers had more class and had manners as well. Well most of them anyways. The ones she meet had great manners. She couldn't however let them stay in the back unprotected and with that she picked the best thing. She had to lean the staff against her shoulder for a second while her hands performed some magic. What she did was remove from the palm of her hand a black rose stem first. When she was read she knew the witch would likely be reluctant to hold onto it and looked to Kyalia. "Here,... this shall protect you from any magic the demons throw at you, if they catch up with us that is." She said. She then ran up beside Ishmael once more her staff in its rightful place. He was doing something with his helmet and she was about to say he shouldn't drink that but suddenly he performed some sort of purification method that she never saw before. He then passed it to a woman in the crowd telling her to drink and to pass the helmet around and make sure everyone got a drink from it. Then he looked to her and greeted her with his name. "My name is Hotaru,.. pleased to meet you Ishmael." She said happily.

Nova had her eyes forward but something at the corner of her eye caught her attention. The object was a dark elf whose name she did not know. She was helping the people by leading them out and remembered her at the sewer entrance. Cassandra was her name, she knew about her very well from her betters in the elven city. She was gesturing over to her and finally yelled out "Hey I need your help for a second." Nova rolled her eyes and decided to see what the drow wanted . "What is it you need help with?"

Captain my captain... lol Nice to see posts from you again.

A Medieval Roleplay: The Demon War of Kurn

Nova took it upon her to dismiss her weapons and instead summon a orb of light which she kept in the palm of her hand using it to create some light for the people to see. She looked to floor below and noticed that there were a few rats down here and they were heading the same way they were going. They did not really enjoy the presence of the beings above them either. She just hoped the demons would not follow them down here. Here it was a bottle neck making this a turkey chute. Elendil and Dorian held torches in their hands and positioned themselves in certain spots with the survivors so that light was distributed well. They had to take it easy from here on out. One hand holding the torches and the other resting upon the hilt of their swords.

Hotaru figured she was the best defense right now seeing as her pedals did a great job on those things. Then she noticed the light created by the elves and she rose a eyebrow. She turned around and decided to cast a globe of darkness behind them so that if any demons did come down here they would see no sources of light down here. She then rushed over to keep up with the group. She made it to Ishmael as he offered to carry Fenn. She decided to wait with them.

Hotaru did not take the news to well that they would have to retreat ,but she figured that it was necessary. She could not kill all the demons nor save everyone in the city. However, she could at least save all that she could. He mentioned that the sewers would be the only way out now and that they were located in the market district. She wished the kind people there had escaped through them already. The fire storm made matters worse for she could not do anything about the balls of fire raining down on them. She could already hear the screams from those within one building as they her engulfed in flames.

Nova, Elendil and Dorian the remaining three elves here in the city,... well they were the three remaining ones. I suppose now that you think about it Kyalia was a elf too. She did not like the news she was given. Avalon and Ariol died for nothing it would seem but she did vow to her self that she would get vengeance for their deaths. The demons of the mountain will suffer her wrath someday. Maybe not today but someday they will.

Nova turned around in a flash as she noticed the pedals flying around them and past them. What she saw at its source was not what she expected. A young girl with a black dress trimmed in red held a large staff about four inches taller then the girl wielding it stood. Pedals circling around her, as she stood there. Who was this girl? She asked her self but looked to the other two women and then looked to Kyoto who was dumbfounded as to who to go help. Right now though the two were struggling to kill one of the retrievers. It was resisting the witch's spells as hard as it could. She decided to giver own help aiming her hand which still clenched the flame sword within it. She then called out. "Flame arrow!!" And a arrow of flames shot out striking the beast dead. It only worked for they had weakened it pretty good as it was. She then looked to Kyoto and then back to Kyalia and Fenn and then towards the new girl. " Come with us and quick. Don't stop moving for a second. We must regroup with Ishmael." She said. Avalon and the other our elves all looked about quizzically at the new girl, especially Avalon who was covered in the blood of the beast that had been slayed.
Avalon then continued to lead them onwards and they finally had sight of the tower and Ishmael above on the wall fighting on of the retrievers as another made its way the paladin's direction. He cursed and charged forward hoping to get there before the other one caught Ishmael by suprise but as he did so another Retriever came running in slamming its body and weight into Avalon, slamming the man to the ground. The thing looked to have a dozen arrows in it. The thing then began swinging its forearms down towards him. He rolled about the cobble stone road trying his best to avoid each hit. He did good for the first three strikes but the fourth strike nailed him impaling him through the chest. He died instantly.
Ariol screamed as Avalon gave his last breath. She could not accept it one bit and charged forward launching a arrow at it which skidded off its nose cutting it a little bit causing the Retriever to wince and then turn its attention on her. It came at her in rage swiping cross ways at her. She ducked but it was prepared swinging with its other forearm using its other four legs to support it as the second cleaver slammed into her sending her flying off the ground to bounce off it. She had mortal wound caused from the attack. The cleaver had entered about half way across her midsection. She quickly began to bleed to death. The retriever did not even give her the luxury of a quick death and proceeded towards Dorian and Elendil who decided to stand guard on this one.

Hotaru gave chase following the group keeping up with them the best she could and as they spotted the eastern tower where the paladin was. She noticed him before from time to time. He was at a dire moment and she could easily help him but then she noticed their open problem. A retriever intercepted Avalon and caused the elf's demise killing him. It the then turned and killed the elf woman Ariol. The other two decided to play it smart but it wasn't going to wait. It would attack. So she decided to use another spell. She aimed her hand towards it and yelled out . "Black Curse!!" the spell cast its effects on the beast making it blind and depth. It reacted quickly to this and stopped its approach on them trying to shake off the spell but it would not be that easy. She then turned her staff around and pointed at the creature. "A thousand pedals...." She said and the pedals appeared again circling around her and the shot forward cutting it into ribbons. "I know you would like to mourn for your friends but that can wait." She then shot black roses from her hand they stabbed into the two bodies. "That will protect the bodies from mutilation." She said and took the lead firing her pedals towards the other retriever on the wall that went after Ishmael doing to it the same as the others.

As Avalon moved ever closer to the tower he saw one of the Retrievers moving from around the corner. A woman in its mouth, he drew a arrow from its quiver took aim with his bow and fired. The arrow lodged itself in it's eye right eye causing it's head to fly back in pain and drop the lifeless woman. In anger it lunged out with his left forearm its giant cleaver like foot coming down at him. He had to duck quickly to dodge the blow. He then tossed his bow aside drawing out his swords and dived underneath it and slashed at its underbelly. While he did this the creature tried its best slamming down its other feet in attempt to kill him but Ariol took advantage of this and fired another shot at it. The arrow did not hit a weak spot though and bounced of its tough hide. "Damn this thing!...." She yelled.

Dorian decided his bow would do no better and tossed it aside drawing out his own blades. He began to look at it trying to spot any weaknesses. This was going to be a hard one. Nova however, took the initiative coming forth with her flame swords and swung them at one of the legs. It's hot surface made it easier to cut taking off one of its six legs.

Hotaru felt the need to get out there and help and she looked to Cassandra. "I'm sorry but I can't stay here, I am needed outside." She said and moved to the door unlocking it and exited. She ran as fast as she could while carrying her staff. What she came upon was a witch and a elven rogue fighting spiders it would look like while the elves fought a Retriever. She saw that they were having a tough time with it to and she moved to the side to get a clear view of it and then turned to see the same demon spiders that were bothering the two women coming for her. She closed her eyes and yelled out "A Thousand Pedals!!!!" and out of this air a thousan black rose pedals appeared circling around her. The pedals cut up the spiders that lunged, shredding them into tiny pieces. Her hair dancing within the wind. She then turned her attention to the Retriever and thrust her staff forward and the pedals shot out moving around the elves and cutting the Retriever shredding every bit of it. Avalon would suddenly start to feel the things demonic blood pour down on him as the pedals cut it open.

Avalon turned around to face Kyalia and Fenn and was going to detest their assistance, especially the witch. However, the loud scream outside caused him to look towards the door and he grimaced. He then looked to Fenn and Kyalia and sighed. "Fine, just don't make me regret accepting your help." He said. He already regretted it but they did need all the help they could get. He then looked to his kinsmen and gestured once more for them to proceed. "Sounds like the attack has already started...." Funny part is they were witch hunters and they were accepting the help of one. He smirked at that thought. "Corellon forgive me." He said mostly to himself as he stood out side and looked towards the eastern section but he did not have to, to spot the enemy. Large demonic like spiders known as Retrievers were upon the walls devastating the ranks of the knights. Only one thing he could do now before he completely left the tavern. He glanced over at the bartender. "Lock the doors when we leave,... everyone who is not well enough to fight stay inside." He ordered and then removed his bow from his back . With that last set of words he turned back around to face one of the walls and proceeded to make way to it until he remembered where Ishmael was. The paladin may have needed help, their help. He changed direction making way for the eastern tower.

Nova, Ariol, Elendil and Dorian all followed him. The four elves drew their weapons. Only Ariol, Elendil, and Dorian had weapons on their backs to draw out. Nova conjured up her own weapons. Dual flame swords that seemed to not burn her hands. They all followed their leader Avalon as they made for the eastern tower. There was no walking involved but running. They just hoped they got to Ishmael before the demons killed him.

Hotaru heard the scream as well as Cassandra. The scream was unnatural and evil. Hotaru knew it and felt their lives threatened by what it came from. What was it they were supposed to do anyways? She would have to use her magic to protect them and she looked to Cassandra moving closer to her as the dark elf was already doing. She then aimed her hand towards the door and mumbled a few words. "Black Rose". Then a black rose shot from her hand its stem digging into the wall and it's effect activated. That should protect them for awhile. However, she felt hiding in here was not good for them. They should be out their helping the people fight the evil that had come. Her thousand pedals would make this evil think twice.
