Nagare sent ice chunks towards the Ogre's face, sending her stumbling back and with the sweep of the ice dragon's tail, the Ogre crashed to the ground. Nagare then saw how Ada was faring...

The Hushabye opened up on the Minotaur with a spinning attack with her tail, knocking away the stone hammer from the bull monster's hands. With her agility, she clung to the side of the Minotaur to deliver a painful bite but before she could do so, she felt something stab into her. Ada was watching the Lizardman but she did not anticipate the lizard monster's speed. Once she jumped onto the Minotaur, the Lizardman took advantage of the opening and jabbed a sword unto the Hushabye.

However, Ada saw that she did not bleed, nor was she wounded. The blade inside her seemed to simply phase past her flesh. Still, she felt strength flowing out of her 'wound' and she dropped from the Minotaur. The Lizardman pulled out her magic sword out of the Hushabye, still no wound visible, to finish her off with a horizontal slash.

As the Ogre recovered, the Minotaur picked up her stone hammer and attacked Nagare. Her hammer was raised high and would come crashing down on the ice dragon if Nagare didn't do anything quick.

Ditzy charged back at the two Orcs and the Salamander. He managed to successfully clotheslined the two pig monsters before heading straight to the fiery monster.

The Salamander saw what happened and her grin became wider as her tail began to roar with flame. Drawing her sword, the fiery monster first spun at Ditzy which sent a wave of fire at the male Hobgoblin. She expected Ditzy to survive it and would soon follow up with slashed from her blade.

Should anyone be looking, Sir Reed would be fighting the two Orcs. He danced around the pig monsters' attacks but any hit he delivered upon them did seemingly nothing, his attacks were being absorbed.

"Neil! We need to talk! There's something you need to know about that dastard Ian."
Vară Riemsianne


Your sudden entrance back into the treasury chamber startled Neil who was in the middle of inspecting the corners of the room. "Whoa, V-Vară?" It appeared he had not made any headway in his investigation. Not that it mattered anymore, you had a pretty good guess on who the culprit was. "You're back. Did you get anything from the witnesses? What's up with Ian?"

Before you could reply, though, another figure entered the room. A familiar one. "Hey, dude and dudette! How's the detective work going?" He asked with a carefree tone. There was no trace of guilt in his act. A consummate liar, this armored one was.

"Oh, hey Mister Ian. Speak of the devil."

"How does lasagna and cake sound?"
Vivian Altissima


"...and we can provide you with a little bit of alraune nectar, as long as you promise to use it somewhere else. Believe me, if you use it here, we'll be able to tell, it is our nectar after all,"
Sylvia Altissima


"Oooh! That sounds tasty!" The little monster group had stars on their eyes and saliva dripping from their mouths. Although, "...What's lasagna?"

"...What are we gonna do with the Alraune nectar? Are we gonna mix it with food and it'll taste better?" The captive Giant Mouse asked the Altissima sisters, still dangling from the vines. "And can you let me down now? My head's feeling funny..."

"A-And what're we gonna do while they're cooking?" One of the Devil Bugs asked. The question sparked a discussion in the group, the voices and chatter of the little monsters filled the kitchen. It made it hard for the Liliraune to hear what was the dominating suggestion in this sudden meeting. Fortunately, their captive Giant Mouse continued to be helpful.

"Hmmm, it looks like they want to explore more of the guild." She said. Would that be a good idea? The Altissima sisters will need to speak up if they do not want that happening.

"You know, you'd be doing everyone here a huge favor if you cut this shit out and just give us the goods!"
Kira Gigas


The lady knight did not register the Beelzebub's words before receiving a wind-infused punch from the monster which sent her flying. Alas, she missed the approaching Yang and crashed into some of her troops. She quickly recovered but decided not to engage the two guild members. Instead, she began cutting down the rebels. All those who fought her was easily dispatched, and the caravan forces were rallying around her.

Two footmen in chainmail armor with spears and shields charged at Yang, yelling with their war cries as the caravan began to fight back against the ambush. Meanwhile, Kira narrowly dodged an arrow that whizzed past her. She then found a unit of four archers taking aim at her. Their arrows probably won't damage the Beelzebub, but they would likely still hurt.

The sounds of battle cries and yells and steel hitting steel drowned all other noise as battle raged. Casualties were mounting on both sides.
@Rune_Alchemist

Ohhh, I see. I should probably change it anyway and have Nick just walk into the tent without Donovan being there.

I also don't know what Mie looks like exactly other than her being a kitsune girl sooo...
The Journey Begins


~ Dawn ~


Interacted with: @Rune_Alchemist, @Guy0fV4lor


Nick eventually returned to Dawn where there seemed to be more of the horned humans like Haruno than the last time he was there. He also saw what appeared to be an oversized weasel with white-gray hair being restrained by the horned guys. He asked them where he could find Donovan and he was pointed to Lady Mie's tent. He also found out that they were called 'Oni', the same word for demons or ogres that the Japanese back in Earth used. That had Nick wondering, how did this alien world had so much in common with Earth?.

Putting these thoughts aside, Nick made his way to Mie's tent and slowly lifted the flaps to let himself inside. "Err, sorry to intrude, but I'm looking for a man named Donovan?" Within the tent was a blue-haired, fair-skinned child fully decked out in leather and steel armor. There was also a woman with dog or fox ears. Probably fox, though, since she had the tail of one.

No sign of Donovan, though.

Nick's eyes fell on the fox lady. He did not know who she was exactly but seeing that this was Lady Mie's tent and she appeared like she owned it, it was safe to assume that she was Lady Mie herself. "Err, sorry for barging in like this. Uhh, pleased to meet you, Lady Mie?"
The Great Horizons 3
~@13org (FYR)~

You ran and ran, following Haley and Samuel swept in the torrent of the river. Soon you spot a single tree branch that hung over the river, as if it grew over the water just for this moment. It was even wide enough to support your entire body and low enough for you to grab any of Haley or Samuel's limbs.

Climbing atop and reaching out your hand, Haley immediately extended her wet, indigo-feathered wing for you to grasp. You grab hold, and instantly felt the pull of the river. The torrent was strong, strong enough to pull you off the branch had you not firmly hooked your body on the wood. The river's surprising strength was probably because you were supporting not only Haley, but also Samuel who was still holding on to the Siren's leg.

Before you could think of another plan or even pull up Haley for a little, you hear the branch you were on cracking and breaking. The sudden shock when you grabbed Haley had weakened it and now the strain was becoming too much for the wood. You see Haley's face contorted into horror, it appeared she heard the branch breaking as well. The cracks became louder and you were running out of time. You must--

"RAAAH!"

Haley cried as she kicked Samuel off her leg. The mad man was no match for the monster's strength and he was swept away by the river, leaving behind his coat still within the Siren's talons. "Pull me up, Freyr! Hurry!" With the load lightened, you easily pull Haley off the river and throw her into dry land. You leap off the breaking branch before it finally snapped off and taken away by the river as well.

It all happened fast, but now you and Haley were safe. The same could not be said, though, for Samuel. Haley sat on the grass, drenched all the way with river water, panting from the ordeal.
@LiverisGood

No problem. Good luck!

Interacted with: @VitaVitaAR


Jarde's investigation yielded some interesting discoveries. The lifeless body had a tattoo on its left shoulder, a boar with golden tusks and red eyes. A mark of membership, Jarde was sure. Still, he did not recognize the emblem but it was certain that this was no Thaln soldier. The young knight went over to the other corpses and found the same tattoos, but the oldest-looking bodies had clean shoulders which probably meant they were the Thaln defenders, long killed before Alette's arrival.

"... Search... search the bodies, everyone,"
Fanilly Danbalion


The other Iron Roses went ahead and investigated, and yielded the same results. But unlike Jarde, they recognized the boar emblem and confirmed that a mass infiltration took place. One that Alette and her forces so rudely interrupted. Jarde was kind of impressed at these boar mercenaries for theamount of effort and care they put to kill and replace an entire fort's worth of soldiers. Still, that begs the question: Why?

While the other Iron Rose Knights talked to Alette the Shark, Jarde approached Captain Fanilly while watching Sir Fleuri head deeper into the fort. "While we're still not sure what Sharky's here for, we do know that these boar guys she killed are up to no good since it looks like they tried to replace the troops stationed here." He gave his thoughts on the matter. "As to why they would do this," He sighed before continuing. "All the possibilities I can think of are... pretty bad." With Fort Daelantine directly connected to the capital, Jarde feared the worst-case scenario.

"What're your next orders, Captain?"

"How can you be Reed? You're human, not plant. But how you'll be knighty at Otry? Is there a test? How does one become a knight? Can Ditzy become one too?"
Ditzy Bethlehem


"Yeah well, you're Ditzy, aren't you? Are you a ditz, then?" Reed then thought about it and added. "...You know what? Forget it."

"The knight order I'm trying to join is a special one. It's an esteemed one and they don't take just anybody. It'll be hard to get in, and even harder to stay, but I think I'll be alright." Sir Reed began to answer the seond question. "Sorry, Ditzy, but I don't think they accept monsters. They only accept humans, male ones at that. It's uhh, pretty exclusive, I admit, but..."

-

"Very well. If it so pleases you, my friend and I will take on a couple of your troupe's members. If we win or if your impressed by what you see, we request to be accepted as members! I'm sorry Ada, but things are about to get rough. Would you mind helping me out here for a bit?"
Nagare


"Hahahahaha! Just a couple? Why not all of us then?" Before Nagare could reply, the Ogre suddenly tackled the ice dragon with surprising speed. With an evil grin on her face, the Ogre clenched a fist and raised it high. The mighty punch was clearly aimed at Nagare's face, but fortunately it was slow enough for the Dragon to react.

Meanwhile, the troupe of warrior monsters brought out their weapons and engaged the guild squad. A tall Minotaur woman wielding a crude, stone hammer came at Ada, swinging her crude but powerful weapon down at the Hushabye. Besides that, a Lizardman was quickly approaching to help the Minotaur take Ada down.

"Ah, s***! Ditzy, get ready!" Sir Reed unsheathed his blade and rushed to his guildmates' aid. Alas, the rest of the monster troupe charged forward consisting of two chubby but strong Orcs wielding one-handed hammers and a Salamander with a jagged sword who was already burning up in excitement for battle.

"Hail there denizens! You are addressed by none other than the noble demon Vară Riemsianne, who requires your cooperation today! I'm here on an investigation involving stolen goods from the city hall, and the perpetrator seems to have broken in last night. If any of you've seen or heard anything that would aid the investigation, I demand that you speak now!"
Vară Riemsianne


The Dhampir was the first to speak, and she began with a laugh. "Hahaha! You got moxie, Demon! I'll give you that." She then gave her account. "Well, I was hanging around the town hall when the robbery happened. Uhh, don't ask me why I'm there in the middle of the night. You're probably expecting that I heard something, but that's thing: I didn't hear a single thing! You'd think there'd be some sort of weird noise in a break-in right? Like, doors being broken open, yeah?"

The old man was the next to speak. "If that was so, then I'd say I definitely saw a suspicious figure darting away from the town hall during the incident." He said. "I live pretty near the town hall and when I was out doing some night business, I saw a figure darting out of the hall and into darkness. It was night, though, so I could not get a good look at the suspect."

"Meanwhile I, heard something in the town hall." The middle-aged man spoke up. "But it wasn't of doors or walls breaking down, it was the sound of jingling armor. Like a knight running at full speed. I didn't see anything, but it was a distinct sound. It made me wonder what armored person did urgent business in the night."

Their accounts have been given and if Vară was perceptive, she could narrow down the culprit with these.

"Sure, call them out, and we promise not to attack unless we're attacked first,"
Sylvia Altissima


"Try anything funny, and..."
Vivian Altissima


"O-Okay! Okay, please don't hurt me!"

The Giant Mouse called out to her companions, saying that the Liliraune had no intention of harming them and only wanted to talk. At first, nothing happened but the rodent monster kept calling out and promised, with pinky fingers, that it was no trap and no harm would befall the group and that the sisters simply wanted to negotiate. Soon, ears and antennae poked out of the edges of the walls and doorways in the Altissima sisters' sights. The captured Giant Mouse continued to coax out her friends with promises and reassurances until the group slowly and cautiously assembled.

There were about a dozen of the Devil Bugs and Giant Mice that formed in front of the Liliraune, still keeping a bit of distance as caution. "Don't worry, everyone! This Liliraune is really, really, kind. They're willing to negotiate about what we can have in exchange for us leaving." The captured Giant Mouse said to the group, still dangling from the Altissimas' vines.

"But we don't wanna leave! It's great here!" A Devil Bug protested.

"W-Well, the Liliraune said there are powerful warriors in this place so if we stay, we might get hurt!" The captured monster replied. "They're not here right now, of course, but the Liliraune said they could chase us down if we get really stubborn." She was making stuff up to convince the group, but it appeared to work.

"Can we have food, then? Lots of food for all of us?" One of the Giant Mice asked. The rest of the dozen loudly agreed with her. "You can make food, right? Yeah, make us food!"

"Can we... can we have a man, too?" A rather timid Devil Bug made quite the demand. "Just one, though. We're not greedy, one will be enough. Even for just one night?"

"Which man, though?" The captive Giant Mouse asked.

The group looked at each other, pondering for a moment, before nodding at each other. "We want the brown-haired plain boy!" They all answered, almost in unison.

Bart was nowhere to be seen, nor were there signs of him returning to help the Altissima sisters on this conundrum. They will have to resolve this by themselves.

"YANG, NOW!"
Kira Gigas


The lady knight was confused for a moment until she realized that Kira was a distraction for an ambush. Her hand went to her sword's hilt as she turned around and watched Yang leap high into the air and landed right into the middle of the Order caravan. The monk began knocking out Order soldiers left and right as she advanced towards the lady knight.

A loud war cry soon followed and the Varjan rebels descended from the cliffs and began the ambush in earnest. The Order caravan rallied and the knights in horseback charged towards the attacking rebels, lancing a few of them down. Arrows and projectiles were exchanged before the two belligerent groups clashed against each other. One of the horseback knights blocked off Yang and thrust his long spear at the monk.

"I should've known!" The lady knight drew her blade and began swinging at Kira, starting with horizontal slashes.
Hey all, I wanted to get the update out before I fly but it looks like I am unable to. The update will still be coming but it'll be delayed for a day or two.

Really sorry for the inconvenience.

Hey, Rune. I'm preparing for a flight this week so I probably won't be able to post this round.

Sorry.

"Where are we going to meet after we are done with our tasks? What should Ibun and you do in the meantime? Wu says he knows how to handle generators. Are you also going to look around the facility with us or will you be helping Wu with the radio comms?"
Radiant


"We'll meet in the comms room after everyone has done their recon. But just in case anything... weird happens, we'll begin searching for anyone missing after about fifteen to twenty minutes. That's enough time for everyone to do their jobs, right?" Blizzard answered Radiant. "Me and Ibon will start looking into the radio equipment with Wu. Is there power in this place?"

"Technically, yes. But the generator's dead so we'll have to take a look at that too." Wu answered. "I'll go take a look at that myself while you handle the radioes."

"Alright, then. I believe that's all, let's move out."

---
~RADIANT~

You took the flight of stairs in the facility down to the underground bunker. Your first sight was a corridor made purely of stone and rock. However, it did not appear there were any windows to this area so it was in complete darkness save for the light coming out of the open door. Looks like you will have to--

* FLASH *

The light suddenly came on, as if it awaited your arrival. "I turned on the generator, guys! But it looks like it's just emergency power!" You hear the faint yells of Wu from the generator room.

With the lightbulbs on the ceiling turned on, you now see a corridor that stretched towards a pair of double doors at the end. On the left side were three doors evenly spaced from each other while on the right were two doors. Investigating the doors on either side, you will see a small, personal living quarters consisting of a bed, a desk, a cabinet and a sink with a mirror. The double doors at the end lead to a sizable public shower with a pair of toilets hidden in the corner.

As you investigated, however, you caught a faint whiff of a familiar scent. It came from the last door on the right, inside the cabinet of that room. Opening the wooden container revealed small, plastic pouches of plant seeds. But you recognize these seeds, these are of the same species as the ones you planted in your ecospheres back in Haynek Institute.

Quite the coincidence?

~MEDIVAC~

You took a look at the front entrance of the radio facility, a set of large double doors that lead to the main corridor as well as the back entrance, a single door that lead directly into the facility's kitchen. The doors had simple knobs on them as well as an extra lock for a slight increase in security. This place sure had a cheap budget although if one can get away with cheap, why not right? Regardless, the doors look like they could be reinforced with some boards and nails.

Taking a peek outside, you notice that there were some activity by the forest edge. You see a pack of infected dogs or wolves fighting a large Acid Orignium Slug. The snail monster spat its acid at the black-furred canines, some having its flesh dissolved by the potent liquid. However, the pack eventually overwhelmed the slug as members took opportune bites at the snail's neck.

The infected dogs were about to enjoy their meal when they noticed Medivac looking at them. Surprisingly, they made no attempt at hostility and fled immediately to the forest.
