Meh, sure, why not. It's not that much of a stretch to say that another person could've managed to escape in the middle of all the chaos, or otherwise survived for long enough to heal himself through the aid of potions or whatever. Maybe the monsters, assuming that everyone was dead, chased after the sole moving target (AKA: Lily)?
As far as how close the party was; I figured at least Lily only joined just for this thing, although she'd obviously knew who was who. As for how close Kenneth was to the rest, you're free to fill in that yourself.
So... I know the Guild is pretty unstable at the moment, and that it's a pretty busy time of the year, but is anyone else going to post? I'm sort of reluctant to post right now, seeing as I was one of the last people to post before the new event happened, and I'd prefer to have other people post first. Plus, Lily likely won't be the first person to attack, considering her current mental/emotional state.
Well, at least GM was happy now, which made it less likely that the guy would kill anyone in the nearby future. Hopefully, this would include Leon too.
"Regeneration sounds like as good an idea as any, especially when they'll operate in packs. That way, whenever one gets hurt, the others can cover him until he heals. As a result, the only way to beat them would be to take all of them out in one fell swoop. You.. probably don't want to make them truly immortal though; If there's anything that we can learn from stories, it's that making immortal and unstoppable beings never ends well for the creator in question. " Or for anyone in their surroundings, for that matter, which logically was quite a bit more important as far as Leon cared. Which brought him to another question that he had to ask, even if it was very likely that he wouldn't like the answer. "...By the way. I hm, I get the feeling that I don't really want to know this, but uhm... what do you mean when you say 'Beta test them'?"
Merk.... Sorry about not posting yesterday. Blame it on the Guild being down for almost the entire evening (local time). Luckily I managed to make a note-to-self on another site, allowing me to simply copy-paste this thing, but yeah.
The positive news quickly cheered Lily up. "Thanks!," she chirped, a wide smile appearing on her face -- which was instantly replaced by a flustered expression when the warrior names Billy asked for her name. "Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't want to be rude, especially not after you all saved my life and everything. I mean, uhm... My name's Lily, Lily Rhine!," she ranted, shaking his hand the entire time.

After this somewhat bizarre greeting, Lily turned around to face the other two people in her savior's party. "Uhm... Can we go that way first?," the Sprite spoke up, pointing in the direction she wanted to go. "Like I said, I lost my bag when those beasts attacked us. I'd like to see if there's anything still salvageable." She didn't make any illusions about her comrades still being alive...
"Hmm, I guess so," Leon nodded in response to GM's latest suggestion, sitting down on the bed behind GM, his legs folded under him. "I mean, wolves do hunt in packs in nature. A single wolf may be taken down by a trained man, but nobody would stand a chance if you throw a whole pack at them, even if the wolves in question aren't in perfect health anymore." Leon knew better than to fool himself on that point; if Rin had been in any decent shape, or if there was more than one of them, he simply wouldn't be standing here at this moment.
"As for your suggestion about wings, I don't know. I mean, sure, it might look cool, but won't they get in the way more often than not? Never mind that it would make for an obvious target when the wolf in question is flying. Alternative idea: judging by what you have shown before, isn't there a way you can make them fly without the need of wings? If nothing else, it surprises anyone who thinks they can get away from them by simply climbing. And we both know how much surprise can hinder logical though, right?"
It was strange; where Leon couldn't stand the idea of someone dying just so that he could survive before, he was having very little trouble with the same thing now.
Maybe it had something to do with the other persons being faceless numbers instead of someone he'd actually met in person? Or maybe he'd just gone past that last tipping point now... A rueful smle forced its way onto Leon's face -- which, considering the timing, could easily be interpreted as having something to do with his earlier comment about surprise hindering logical thought instead.
"I don't know," the Sprite answered Gabriel as the latter helped her out of the water, making sure to grab his hand in such a way that the webbing in beteen her fingers wouldn't get in the way. Of course, as she'd proven moments ago, she could've easily gotten out herself, but Lily figured that it would be rude to ignore one of the persons who pretty much just saved your life. "Monsters attack adventurers all the time, right? I wouldn't know the reasoning of a beast. As far as I know, they just wanted to eat me. They... likely did the same with the others already..." Thomas. Carl. Maria. Roy. All of them, dead, torn apart by the monsters. The memory caused Lily to fall silent, bting the inside of her cheeks. She had no choice; she had to go along with these people. Even if she didn't know them at all, the only alternative she had was to stay stuck here. The list one of the group's members rattled off made the non-choice even easier.
"Uhm...," she started again, nervously shuffling in place. "Can I come with you guys? I promise I won't be a burden."
I'll post a response tomorrow.
[/i]...Great. Now what do I do?[i]
From the bottom of the small stream, the Sprite was pondering about the situation she'd managed to get herself into, and more importantly, how to get out of it again. Although the monsters could not reach her were she was now, neither could she leave this place. The one blessing she had was that,seeing as she didn't have to eat and could 'breathe' underwater, she could stay down here as long as she wanted. The bad news; it seemed like the monsters weren't planning on leaving anytime soon either. Those damned beasts... They were over Lily and her party so fast, half of them were dead before they even knew what had happened to them. And with the party so swiftly decimated, the remainder didn't stand a chance either. The only reason she was still alive was luck; if this stream had been even a few more metres away, the beasts would've likely caught up to her and torn her to shreds. The memory caused a shiver to go up Lily's spine. As far as she could remember, she'd never been this close to actually dying before. And the screams... She could still hear the screams of battle, echoing in her mind.
..Wait a minute. Those voices... Those weren't the voices of her comrades! But that meant... Did another group of adventurers stumble upon her watery prison? Maybe she could finally get out of this place now! Quickly but carefully, Lily made her way to the surface, ever so slightly peeking her head up the surface to see what was going on.
It was indeed as she had hoped; other adventurers had crossed her path, drawing the attention of the monsters that had pinned her down, the later of which now had their backs turned to her. Not wanting to let this chance go to waste, Lily shot out of the water, drawing several globs of water up with her, which she then shot at one of the monsters from behind. As it turns out, water moving at high speed and forced into a small package can do a lot of damage.

In he end, the battle went by about as quickly as the one that had cost her previous party their lives; only this time the roles were reversed. With all danger now a thing of the past, Lily swam towards the edge of the water. "Thank you!" the Sprite said. "If you hadn't come along, I fear I might've never gotten out of there..."
Okay, cool ^_^. Now to write an intro post...
