Whoops, my bad. I'll go ahead and fix that.

Edit: Sorry, much shorter post this time around D:
The dogs are a lil too fast for bows, and I've got to deal with LOSING HALF MY HEALTH RIGHT AT THE START OF THE FIGHT AUGH. I think the spear will do the job though, since the heavy attack does more than half their health and I can follow up with a few more stabs and chug my Estus.

I should invest in Endurance so I can get heavier armor and still be able to move. DAMN THIS LEATHER!
Yeah, Kali loved that bit :p

And... I totally forgot a whole part of that post. Gonna go edit it.
Before the Saurian even had a chance to speak, a Griffon landed on the dock next to Kali with a fish in her beak and proceeded to slowly slice it open without any regard for passersby. Where most others would have turned away in disgust, Kali was overjoyed. Her work involved watching manticores hunt, and quarry eels lying in wait for a meal, but she was never standing mere meters away from them while they ate. She managed to rein in her excitement and just made a soft 'squee' noise. She watched in interest, then slight disgust which quickly reverted to interest. The griffon suddenly stopped, as if realizing she had made some big mistake and turned to smile at her, which Kali had to admit was a little unsettling.

"I'm sorry, my friend, I just got a little carried away there... Um, you said you were looking for the Explorer's League ship?" the griffon asked. Kali nodded. "Well, you found it. The Swamp Witch's Pride. A beauty, don't you think? Let's see, Armand up there's the captain of this fine vessel, and me, well, my full title is Lt. Commander Red, but please, just call me Rosie. I'm in the Royal Guard; Twilight sent me to keep everyone safe from nasty beasties and the like... Anyway, you're the first of the civilians to arrive at the ship, and there'll be plenty of time for introductions once the whole group has assembled." Rosie flapped her wings, in the process splashing a bit of blood on Kali's coat, though she didn't seem to notice.

"Oh, perfect! Just... Try not to be too aggressive with the 'beasties'. That's why I'm here!" She exclaimed, pushing off the ground to stand on the tips of her hooves for a moment. She made an odd face, then chuckled. "I mean, I'm not here to be aggressive to them, I study them. That my thing. The more dangerous the better!" Kali grinned like a maniac. "Anyways, my name is Kali, expert on creatures of all sorts, but especially the predators!" she said, puffing out her chest and holding a hoof to it proudly. "I imagine there will be plenty of that type of thing where we're heading."
I'm doing pretty mmmk I suppose. I was waiting for Arget, but I'll type up a post and if doesn't have something up by tomorrow I'll post it.

Also finally got back to continuing Dark Souls. Still in Lower Undead Burg >.> Should've gone into that fight with a spear, I went up on the arch to fight the dogs and my sword kept hitting the wall so I couldn't get the dogs. Well, here's to hoping I don't die on the way back.
Naw, you're good. I was kinda leaving it up to whoever felt like getting bumped into. *shrug*
Kali dragged her suitcase back along the ground, her hooves and the suitcase's wheels kicking up sand. She let go of the handle in her mouth and sighed. Who would design something so you couldn't look where you were going? Surely there was an easier way of doing this. She tried pushing it in front of her for a bit, but controlling the case proved impossible as it decided to twist this way and that. After a few more tries, Kali gave up and continued dragging it backwards. So, this is Horseshoe Harbor? she thought, looking around. No, Horseshoe BAY, she corrected herself. She stopped, suddenly realizing she had no idea where she was supposed to be heading. She stopped and pulled a scroll from her bag and unfurled it on the ground with her hooves. The scroll was her official letter of acceptance into the Equestrian Explorer's League, and instructions of where she would find a boat captain by the name of... Armand? He would be her captain for the duration of this particular journey, and she'd also meet other members of the League. She was excited, but at this particular moment she was frustrated by confusing directions and the design of her suitcase. This must be why they have ponies pushing around those big carts of suitcases all the time.

"Gosh, this is so... Augh. Why can't they just give me a map or something?" Kali muttered. Kali's voice almost completely lacked the distinct accent that most zebras had. Evidence of her upraising among ponies. She sighed again and rolled up the scroll. Soon enough she'd be able to go off into the wild unknown, cataloging the strange beasts in the uncharted parts of the world! But first she'd have to find the boat. Kali grabbed the handle of the suitcase once again and walked backwards in the direction of what she thought was the docks. After 5 minutes of constantly checking over her shoulder and countless "'scuse me"'s Kali finally made it to the docks, and she looked up and down the road. What was the name of that boat? She sighed once again and began rolling down the road, hopefully towards the ship. Sure enough. After a few minutes of walking she finally stopped to ask for directions. She turned to face a ship where a saurian was standing on the deck.

"'Scuse me sir, but you wouldn't happen to know where the Equestrian Explorer's League ship is? I'm afraid I've forgotten the name of the ship, but there were probably a bunch of ponies headed that way?" she asked, cocking her head to the side.
Julia watched the ensuing battle in interest.

"Ouch, this guy is done for," Pete said, watching as one of the ships opened up on the side, releasing a pair of fighters.

"Jeez, should we help the poor guy out?" Julia asked. Pete shrugged in his ship.

"I say let him get blown up. He should've known not to mess with a guy like that in his s***** starter ship," he replied the game automatically bleeping out the offending word. They watched the fight continue, before an alert suddenly popped up on Julia's ship.

William has invited you to join his clan!
[Accept] [Decline]


Julia looked at the floating dialogue box on her ship's dashboard curiously before pressing [Decline] with her finger, then set her eyes on the fighters circling the command ship. "I think this guy needs the help, I'm going in." She said, pulling back a lever on the control panel. Her ship blasted forwards towards the losing ship that she presumed belong to this "William" fellow and turned up sharply, towards one of the fighters from the other ship, letting loose a barrage of laser fire in their direction. She hailed William.

"Hey, they call me Lazarus. Ready to make these losers bleed?" She said, putting on her famous maniac grin.
Ok, I have a post but I wrote it under the assumption that somebody else would have posted. Gonna go edit it a bit then I'll throw it up.
I'm fine with or without a posting order, but Raddums wait for one or two other people to post works for me.

I probably will barely be on for the rest of the weekend, but I'll be able to post on Monday. Here's my character though!
Name: Kali

Race: Zebra

Appearance: Kali has has a very light gray coat adorned with dark gray (though not quite black) stripes, primarily on her back and legs. Her mane alternates between coal black and snow white and is spiked, though it bends forwards and is cut short at the back. Her tail is longish and tapers to a point. Compared to other Zebra's, Kali is small though she makes up for it with her agility (all the better for avoiding being eaten by a subject!). Her glyph is a sort of Y symbol, though with a third line in the middle that makes it resemble a claw. She wears a simple saddlebag filled with books on all sorts of dangerous creatures throughout the known world and a necklace adorned with multi-colored feathers. On her left foreleg she wears a set of bands made of iron.

Age: 27

Personality: Kali is very curious about EVERYTHING, possibly to the point of it being dangerous (especially with her area of expertise). Unfortunately, she also misses finer details and tends to run into trouble head first. She talks fast and gets overexcited, though other times she is very mellow and is more able to focus on the task at hand, whatever it may be.

Reason for joining the League: To find all manner of dangerous beasts across the world! And hopefully write a book on them.

Bio: Kali was born to a pair of immigrant zebra researchers in a small pony town in the middle of nowhere, Equestria. Her parents seemed to always be busy with work, though her father always found time to tell her stories about their more active life before Kali's birth. They traveled the world, discovering things thought to be long lost and researching the flora and fauna of the world. Kali spent her days daydreaming about traveling the world, and lived on a steady diet of books about the more exotic locales of Equestria and beyond as well as plenty of adventure novels like Daring Do. This eventually led to multiple incidents of her running off to go explore whatever seemed interesting at the time, which brought about some story-worthy moments.
In her teenage years, her parents made a decision: they would be moving to a city. The city in fact. At first, Kali was excited at the prospect of living in Manehattan, but when she actually came to the city she found she found the skyscrapers and constant bustle claustrophobic in a way. When she finished her schooling, she left home and followed her dream of traveling... At least to places that she could reach by train. Unfortunately, she wasn't the most well off economically. She found herself in Ponyville, home of the infamous Everfree Forest, and she was amazed. Animals had always intrigued her, but in the Everfree she found beasts like manticores, cockatrices, and timberwolves that were so... Majestic! She observed them, at a distance at first, and collected her knowledge in a journal as well as studying the books of others who had done research on these beasts and many others. Soon enough, she was a self-proclaimed "expert" on all sorts of creatures, both dangerous and not. She heard about the League and that it was her duty as an "expert" to join on this trip and document whatever creatures they met along the way.
@Imperfectionist: Yes, I suppose Griffons do count as dangerous, and Rosie seems to be especially so...
