Cihas [ - ] = -
> "Your guess is as good as mine to where we are."

You follow Isaac and Feiar as they head to one of the domes and peek inside the window.

It looks like someone's house, except with rather large furniture. In the room you can see, there's a table that is at least 5 feet above the ground, and no chairs. There are wooden plates with scraps of food here and there.

Feiar: "I think this is a lupus town."

She loads her crossbow with a poison quill while looking around nervously.

Conditions :
- Burned Face
- Missing Eyebrows

An explosion hits you in the side, stumbling you slightly.

Paradox Mist [ 3 + 2 ] = 5
> Getting back to your feet, you dodge a fist coming into the ground and slash at the closest smasher with a kineticaly-empowered strike, disembowling the hulk.

Another runs at you, stops just in time to avoid your attack, and follows up with a punch to your chest. It merely knocks you back, but the smasher rushes to close the distance.

A shadow looms over you, and you see the giant drake about to crush you in its jaws before a blur of light slams into it from the side, pushing it away.

> "I don't have any other curiosities. Seems about time to report back, anyway."

Koa stuffs the Species Born from Corruption book in her inventory and gives a nod.

Koa: "Alright, let's get back quickly."

In a short amount of time, your trio makes its way up and out of the museum and back to the spire.

Upon arriving at the entrance, you find it oddly empty, and a messaged carved into the stone floor.

Evacuated to Magusalto
beware hostile we

From behind a pillar across the room, a figure in a white hooded cloak leaps out. Under the cloak is shining, perfectly lustrous, and a familiar matching white rapier whirling in hand.

Two crystaline swords, identical in shape to the rapier, dance around the figure, refracting rainbows of light as if they were made of diamond.

Blizzard: "Get OUT!"

Both crystaline blades snap to face you before shooting forward like arrows.

Conditions :

"I totally love danger guys."

The three of you carefully head deeper into the town, passing empty houses in various states of damage. There are blood smears on the grounds and walls here and there, but no bodies.

Until you come upon what looks like a giant armored wolf the size of a horse lying on the side of the road in a large pool of dark liquid.

The beast is lying on its side with a large chunk of its abdomen missing, though Feiar nudges its leg with her foot just so make sure it's dead.

Aucupe is driving it back with a barrage of light-speed slashes, but the monster's scales seem almost impervious to damage. The drake stands up on its hind legs and begins taking a deep breath in.

(Nighthawk)
Kyros Deiimor [ 4 + 2 + 2 ] = 8
> You power up your legs and leap to the left while Ettiin grabs Koa and jumps out the gate.

The crystaline swords swerve upward above your original position and shatter into a cloud of glittering dust when they reach a blur from above. A figure drops down where you once stood with a loud crack as the floor cracks and breaks from the impact.

A human with flowing light-blonde hair and sky-blue eyes set in a pale face. She's wearing a button-down sleeved white shirt and simple black pants, along with an ornate helm with the hooked visor slid up and thunderbolt-shaped spikes above the ears that shoot up and back.

On the women's legs are some of the beefiest greaves you've ever seen, completely covering the lower leg, knee, and foot. The shin is a 90 degree angle that looks like it's meant to be bashed into armor, and the knee covering is a sturdy, powerful spike. A longsword with a pale orange blade is in her right hand.

She shifts her eyes back and forth between you and the incoming Blizzard, her body crouching low as if about to pounce.

Cihas [ - ] = -
> Isaac: "Well. This, I didn't expect."

You leave Isaac to inspect the corpse while you walk around the area searching for loot.

There's the occasional piece of armor here or abandonded weapon there, but all the equipment seems absurdly large, one being a greatsword that's as long as you are tall, and impractical for your feeble human arms to swing.

Conditions :
- Burned Face
- Missing Eyebrows

John Freemaneth [ 6 + 2 ] = 8
> "Aucupe! Switch off!"

Aucupe disappears for a moment and then reappears close to your location, the smasher and two casters in between you and the Drake emitting a flash of light before falling to the ground in pieces. In less than a second, she blinks over to the final caster, this time choosing to hack it apart without the use of Lucida's haste.

Mist launches himself under the Drake, lashing at its legs, causing it to stumble back on all fours.

Dashing towards the beast, you form a powerful blade of air that extends a good yard past Whirlwind's tip. Then, with an explosion of air, Rasantbrise yourself a straight passing shot under the Drake. Right before you reach the lizard, you hold Whirlwind firmly upward with one arm and hold your other arm out to the side.

"Let's see what your INSIDES LOOK LIKE!"

In one fluid motion, you zip under the Drake, Whirlwind's air blade slicing into the belly of the beast at the perfect angle, and catch Mist with your arm held outward, carrying the both of you out from under the Drake as its torso splits and spills its innards onto the ground with a messy splash.

Your landing is much less elegant, the two of you hitting the ground while still moving forward, resulting in a long awkward tumble and then roll, eventually coming to a stop some distance away from the Drake.

Mist stands up, looking at the Drake lying in a pile of its own bloody guts, while Aucupe uses Lucida to prod at the slain beast.

Aucupe: "We think it has a crystal thing in it."

- Whirlwind Armor (+2 Physical Actions)

(Roast Veg)
Paradox Mist [ 1 + 2 ] = 3
> You dash under the Drake, hacking at its legs and getting it to drop back on all fours, with you still being under it.

John: "Let's see what your INSIDES LOOK LIKE!"

There's an explosion behind you (in front of the Drake) and then a whoosh of air as something slams into you and launches you out from under the drake. Your entanglement with John combined with high velocity causes you to hit the ground in a violent tumble and then roll, eventually stopping some distance away from the drake.

When you get back on your feet, the drake is now lying on top of a mushed pile of its own innards, with Aucupe prodding it using Lucida.

Aucupe: "We think it has a crystal thing in it."

(Nighthawk)
Kyros Deiimor [ 6 ] = 6
> You raise your sword defensively.

"Name yourself!"

Blizzard: "It does not speak!"

The women whips the orange blade towards you, sending out a glowing yellow cutting wave that you easily side step. There's a blast of dust and stone as she kicks off and bolts towards Blizzard, meeting him in the center of the room. Turning into a blur, the women lets out a barrage of blows with her blade and two greaves, each attack solidly blocked by Blizzard's blazingly fast yet seemingly fragile rapier.

Ettiin rushes back into the spire, stopping just past the entrance to survey the scene.

Ettiin: "Who's on our side!?"

Conditions :
(None)




(Harzipan)
Isaac [ - ] = -
> "Well. This, I didn't expect."

Cihas heads off, walking around the area while you kneel by the lupus corpse, inspecting it for anything unusual.

Cause of death appears to be removal of abdomen via sharp and/or crushy means. The armor is covered with dents, scratches, blood, and patches of skin/fur.

There aren't any weapons in the immediate area, so perhaps they were looted or the lupus was unarmed when it died. No shield either.

The edges of the armor around the messing chunk of abdomen is a jagged zig-zag-like outline, like something you'd see left over after Jaws too a bite out of your boat.

Your investigation is interrupted by Feiar nudging your arm -

Feiar: "... I hear something deeper in town."
