Compass Chronicles [PG-16][First Boss Battle~][Advanced >_>;][Started]

Dominic shivered slightly. He didn't want to shift into a lycan, his fur would get wet and things would be worse. "I don't know. You could always fly away you know." He sat near Ara, hoping that her Phoenix form would be able to warm the room slightly. He stabbed his sword into the ground, sat back, and waited.

[Master Red]

He curled up a little and wrapped his wings around him, sheltering himslef from the cold. Sure he was more resistant to cold and wind than normal humans, but since he was a half-breed it was lacking comparing to harpies, bird- and crow-men. Using the wings as a kind of blanket was working a little since he started to feel warmer. 'good' he thought and smiled, closing his eyes a little.

[Naimo]

Arabella got Dom's hint and very gladly changed back. She didn't fly, but stayed on the floor instead, the heat radiating from her body. She didn't mind touching it in phoenix form, she was going to get her feet dirty anyway. It was only in human form she minded - even a small stain on her dress spelt trouble in the form of a likely punishment on the careless servent in question.

[fenrir]

Dominic gave a sigh of relief, laying his head back against the rock wall. It was nice sitting down; especially with some warmth. He could of slept, but there was a chance he would slide to the ground, possibly touch Ara. He wanted to be on good terms with everyone, and he knew how touchy Royalty was.

[Aesirson]

"Finally the temperature is the right..." Hugin said and sat down on a rock and looked around the cave. He raised his arm, which was, as well as his hand, the only parts of his body that wasn't covered by feathers, instead he had them equipped with leather gloves.

"I could make a fire using magic, but I don't know if it would lure more goblins here or.."

He awaited response from the others.

[Wuu.]

"No, the goblins are too foul to try anything against a magician, by the way their numbers should've worn thin through all the killing, go ahead." Ysiros replied and sat down, closing his eyes, "now if someone could wake me up before leaving i'll take a nap." He fell into a rather deep slumber.

[Aesirson]

Hugin nodded and picked some wood of the ground and placed it in a stack and then laid it's hand on it.

"Eld!" He said, and the stack started to burn as he quickly removed his hand.

"There, we have some fire, and light, now." He then proceded to enshroud himself in his wings again, and fell asleep.

 

OoC. The word "Eld" is a word of Hugin's native tongue, which is based on a real life language.

[fenrir]

Above the dwelling two large black crows sat. They seemed to hop and scuttle around the small opening, peering in.

 

"Hmm hmm, I spotted the Lycan Prince." One piped up, his feathers a tinge of blue.

 

"As did I brother." The other shot in. His feathers had green tinge.

 

"Did you see the Phoenix?" Blue asked, his head tilting.

 

"No, but I spotted that Naga." Green replied, hopping once.

 

"I'll go tell the others." Blue concluded, flapping once and flying off.

 

----

 

An hour or so passed, and most of the group was asleep. Dom was in a complete state of peace, his chest heaved once or twice every couple of seconds. The others were in different areas of the large dwelling. A single Goblin scurried inside, his head looking left and right. He wasn't wearing a pan, simple cloth. In his hand was a knife, which to him was more of a sword.

 

----

 

Near the spikes containing Goblins, a Viking-esqued boat floated inward. It's passengers hidden in the shadows of the large spikes. Blue and Green had landed on two tall rocks near the cave. They were chatting with each other, as if they hadn't noticed the boat.

 

((Guys, don't wake up to this. >_>))

[Aesirson]

OoC: Is the crows speaking human language? And if they don't, would Hugin be able to understand them since he's half-crow?

 

The surrounding area was all snowy and cold. He was all alone on the cold fields with several corpses of his tribesmen and women spread around. He looked at them with fear, as he saw a familiar face among them.

"Munin!" He yelled and fell on knees in front of a crowoman's corpse. It was his sister, Munin. "No... NO!"

His screams sounded through the valleys, and the only answer he got was his own echo. Suddenly a piercing howl could be heard from the distance.

Hugin then woke up and spread his wings and got ready for combat as he heard the sound of the boat.

"Wake up, we've got company."

[Wuu.]

Ysiros heard some flappering and woke up "Keep it down, a Dwarf is stubborn when he hasn't have a good nap!" He took a small rock piece and threw it towards Hugin "What makes you think you could wake me?" hi curled up a bit and tried to continue his sleep.

[Master Red]

OOC: Eld is the Swedish word for fire! (Y) Är du från Sverige Kuroda? :D

babelfish: Are you from Sweden Kuroda?

in case you're not :P

 

Aeris was a very light sleeper and had heard someone entering the cave. At first he thought that it might've been one of the others who'd gone out, but he heard it was someone entering. He let his wings uncover a small piece of his face and he opened an eye, scouting the darkness. It was one of those goblins he was sure, he drew a dagger very silently as he uncovered himself from his wings and looked around. "Now where is that creep?" he though as he scouted the cave.

[Wuu.]

Ysiros was again interupted by some flappering and decide to wake up "For the love of my ancestors! Can't..." Through all his paranoid-like behaviour he didn't notice that a goblin had invaded their resting place "Goblin!" He shouted and ran towards the beast ready to knock him down.

[Aesirson]

"Sorry..." Hugin said as the stone hitted him in the head. "But I think I heard something."

He slowly moved closer to the entrance, and he indeed heard low noises comming from the outside.

"I am sorry, son of the mountains, you can go back to sleep, but be aware that I may wake you up again if the situation tells me so."

 

OoC: Ja jag är från Sverige. (Yes, I'm from Sweden) And The crowmen's native tongue is very similar to scandinavian languages, so you'll be seeing a lot of Norse words when Hugin is throwing spells.

[fenrir]

((Guys, read my last post. Jeeze I swear, I can't get any plot important points in without guys guys running to kill it. >_>))

 

Blue and Green seemed to stop chattering as a platoon of Viking clad warriors dismissed themselves from the ship. They wore everything a Viking wore, only with additional metal armor. One thing was different about them. Was it the odd stench of death that wafted from their foul furs? Or maybe it was the stained blood that stained pretty much everything.

 

No. It was the fact that they were skeletons.

 

Blue gave a quick chuckle. "Skeletal Vikings always brighten my day up."

 

"Don't they? You have to love the smell of Death they bring."

[Horologia]

Shade was sleeping, enyoing the heat coming from the fire and also from the phoenix girl. Now she wake up when Ysiro starts yelling. "Humm...?" She rubbed her eyes, still feeling all the wounds. Hope they wont become infected... She wont have the time to withstand a wound fever. "Whats going on...? It was a long and crazy day, so would you please..." Than she spottet the goblin, but theres only one of them, so she closes her eyes again. "Please try to be silent enough so i can sleep a little bit..." While falling into sleep once again, she transformed into her naga-form, curling together like a sleeping snake.

[Master Red]

Ooc: coolt då är vi tre svenskar i samma rollspel :)

 

Aeris heard the dwarf running at the Goblin and he removed his hand from the dagger. The Dwarf was apparently easily annoyed when he aws woken up, he made a mental not to remember that. He looked around, making sure there were no other goblins in there, or something else for that matter. He couldn't see anything though, so he focused on falling asleep again.

[Aesirson]

OoC: Who's the third one?

 

Hugin saw that most of the others had gone back to sleep, so he kept himself awake as he could hear faint footsteps from the surface, he grabbed his glaives, but eh did not yet unsheet them. He slowly backed into the shadows to prepare an ambush, in case the newcommers was not of the friendly kind.

[Master Red]

Ooc: .:Abarai Renji:.

 

He heard footsteps in the distance and got up again, looking around. He saw the crow-man in the corner of the cave. He took this as a sign to prepare for battle so he drew three daggers and walked over to the crow man in the corner. 'trouble?' he asked, as he turned to the entrance of the cave.

[Aesirson]

OoC: Okay.

 

Hugin looked at him, and even though he had a beak he smiled a bit.

"Shh... I hear footsteps from above, either it's our salvation, more goblins or something worse, so stay quiet and get ready in case they aren't friendly."

He now unsheated his glaives, kneeled and camouflaged hismelf with his own wings. Since his feathers was pitch-balck he was very hard to detect in the darkness.

[Horologia]

Shina fell almost into sleep... when she scent somebody with her serpent tounge (yeah ^^ Snakes use their tounge to smell!). She saw that crow-man and that guy with the tree daggers, listening to something. She looked around in the cave. 'It´s not getting booring, or' she thougth, before she concentrate in her ears. Looks like these two guys got better ears than her, cause she couldnt hear something, but her scent never let her down. "Whats now?" she whispers at them, gliding up to them as quite as possible

[Master Red]

He nodded and kneeled down at the floor and covered himself with his wings. He didnt blend as well as hugin but he wasnt as visible as he had been earlier.

[fenrir]

The vikings had now surrounded the cave. They each had a two handed sword about as tall as themselves. Blue and Green were still on the same rock as before. They took no interest no flying down to annoy the skeletons, where was the point in that? There would be bloodshed tonight, that's for sure.

[Master Red]

The footsteps had stopped, which according to him wasn't a good sign. Whoever or Whatever they were they had surrounded the cave, and that could never be a godd thing. He had a feeling this would end badly, he didn't know for which side or for whom though. He swallowed hard and kept himself hidden. he looked at his hands, they were shaking a little, from fear or from cold? he didn't know.

[.:Abarai Renji:.]

"Damn bloody mess I got in..." grumbled Ramashka, as he wandered through the drizzling rain. He had somehow fallen unconscious when the ship crashed upon this island, or whatever it could be called, and when he had heard a strange noise that sounded like a whale nearby, he decided it was better to move away than to see where the noise came from. He was cold, tired, and not in his best mood. When he saw the shades of several creatures near a make-shift cave, he thought it was his comrades. But as he listened carefully, he heard the rattles of bones. It wasn't them. He ducked behind a rock and continued listening to the noises.

[fenrir]

If Blue could grin, he would.

 

This 'group' was surrounded. If was their bad luck that they had crashed into this island. After all, had they been drifting, they wouldn't have come to this. Green seemed to be agitated, as if soemthing was wrong. "Brother, I think we might have overlooked something."

 

Blue cawed. "What?"

 

Green hopped once, and pointed his beak towards a low rock. Obviously hiding something.

 

Blue looked carefully, his head tilting to the right slightly.
