Re: Ad Infidium (Roll 278) - Elder Pact
A cover story for the other team. Aucupe and Null found the others, who were tracking Lucida. Lucida was heading for Heartstone, and they all decided they could help each other. They catch Lucida and maybe help save their fellow Heartstoners while they're at it. I'll be acting as if they've come at me before if they get found out. Not perfect, but have them act along with it if they get the chance. > Walk 2S 1W towards the center of the compound. Stash 65 mana in the Taschenblitz.

Re: Ad Infidium (Roll 278) - Elder Pact
"Thanks for greeting us. I must apologize that we're bothering you so late.
We thought you would want to know about what might end up heading this way. There is a rampaging leviathan loose just east of Teleiat - it's fighting some kind of corrupted construct and the Teleiat military, inflicting huge casualties. The city is being evacuated. Magusalto too. It's probably a good idea to have some guards airborne on the lookout for that thing if it heads this way. Luuttiim can't survive a monster of that magnitude; the population will have to flee to Nullam or further if it decides to turn in our direction. I assume the forest is too dangerous to be passable.
My friend and I are trying to get to Nullam to convey the news there. Possibly also to take shelter until the leviathan can be brought down or leaves the region."

Andrew: Alright, relaying. Done.
You stash 65 mana into the Taschenblitz II and then move a bit south, closer to the facility.
Three identical figures move into view. Though too far to make out fine details, you can tell they’re in some form of ornate armor and about your height. The shape of their legs suggest they’re human, instead of chirop.
Andrew: Heads up, there’s a trio of somethings within John’s line of sight, central east of the facility. They’ve got a bizarre reading on ‘em, watch yourself.
Guards seem to be regrouping to the central west, and a few more guards exited one of the buildings. ____________________

Tabi: "The chancellor's house perhaps? I don't know who's in that position right now but the building should be near the center."
It takes a bit of exploring, but the two of you locate a building that looks a lot more put-together than the others. Clean, smooth white stone forming a three-story mansion with numerous windows. There aren't any lights on, but you give the door a few knocks before waiting.
Soon after, the door opens where you're greeted by a chirop in some sort of dress-uniform.
Servant: "Yes?"
She seems polite, and awake, enough, considering the time of night.
"Thanks for greeting us. I must apologize that we're bothering you so late.

With the weaker of the guards being incapable of evading, you finish her off with a crossbow bolt while the blue mage does the same with the remaining chirop, but with a bolt of lightning.

>Well that's one way to make friends i guess. >Looks like horoma didn't take being turned into some bizzare deathmachine too badly either.
The dream changes. You see a man in a decorated red cloak at some sort of fancy party. Horoma's father. He seems to be in a position of power or respect, from the way other people greet him. Women curtsy and men salute, while he returns the gestures to very few others.
Another dream shift. A thin, lanky girl in a cell lying on an old battered mattress. Horoma again. She looks taller, thinner. Her hair is long and messy, her eyes ringed with dark blotches. Though her eyes are closed, you know she's awake, waiting for something.
A different cell. Aucupe is in a corner of the room away from her mattress, lying on a large pile of feathers. Several of the feathers seem to be sticking out of her arms, and she uses her teeth to sharpen the end of another before carefully inserting the pointed base into her skin.
A ghost is in the facility. Not a spirit or a deceased being - something that evades your senses. Children speaking to or looking at an empty space, whatever it is seeming to move.
It doesn’t seem like the ghost is one of the people in charge. It eats with the other girls from what you can tell, and has experiments performed it as well. Other than that, you’re not sure. The only way to tell where it is is by seeing other people react to it, which isn’t often enough to get much detail.
The dream shifts - a medical ward. There are only two people inside, Horoma and the man who conducts the experiments. Horoma is lying on one of the many sterile-white beds, and taller than you expected, somewhere in her teen years. The man is beside the bed, tending to her fresh wounds, and the two of them talk casually, though you’re not sure what about. ____________________

You leave the city and head West, travelling the dark road until you run into an armored figure carrying a load of crates and bags strapped to its back, and a cargo-laden chirop.
Kura: "Hey Vandolf."
Rauha: "Greetings again."
Kura: "How'd your task or whatever go?"
"Went okay, checking to see that someone I know was being evacuated. Need a hand with anything?"
Kura: ”We’ve got everything handled, thanks for offer though.”
You travel with them as they head west. Kura and Rauha are moving a lot slower than you’re capable of, but they’re also bogged down with items.
Kura: ”So Vandolf, got any plans? Somewhere to go, other than ‘away from danger?’ ” ____________________

Before you can move or cast Fast Forward, the three figures vanish in a dim blink of light. You force yourself and Lucida armor to evade the onslaught of near-instant sword swings.
Haste. You should’ve used Haste.
With all the attacks coming at once, you’re unable to keep up your evasion and a majority of the hits land, the air ringing out deafening loud from the impact of artificial matter striking temporary matter.
You can feel that Lucida’s armor is critically low.
Lucida: ”Alright now’s not the time to be playing diplomat! Haul it and kick some ass!”
A momentary pause, along with the light of the rising sun, reveals your enemies - three girls, perhaps young women, in shining silvery armor. Only their eyes are visible under the shade of the helm, which resembles a seahorse. The panels are flat-faced rather than the traditional curves in hand-forged armor, and you can tell that it’s AM. ____________________

The two of you head off, exiting Luttiim and taking a forest path once again.
Nullam is a short distance away compared to Teleiat, and it doesn’t take long to reach the city. It’s closer to Teleiat in terms of appearance and size, and has quite a few people moving up and down the streets in a hurry.
Looks like they’ve heard of what’s going on.

More scenes flash in front of you, other girls being taken care of in a gentle manner.
Horoma seems to be treated differently, though. While the man only speaks a few words to the other girls, he spends minutes to occasionally an hour conversing with Horoma, well after her injuries have been tended to. She would listen with a great deal of focus, scowling, smiling, laughing.
A mechanical sound wakes you from your dreams, and you open your eyes to see your door being slowly pushed open. Tuhota is standing in the doorframe.

"I know it's a bit too close for comfort, but I'd been hoping to venture to Venari for a bit of training."
Kura: ”Yeah that’s way too close for comfort. I wouldn’t feel safe with a mountain range between me and a leviathan, much less a half day’s walk.”
The three of you soon reach Luttiim. It’s a smaller place than Teleiat, lacking in grand towers and more densely packed buildings. The streets are empty and void of any lighting, but the rising sun gently illuminates the streets enough to see.
Rauha: ”A bit further, perhaps. Maybe Nullam.”
Kura: ”I was thinking play it safe and just head all the way to Uniof.”

"Oof. 'Kay, I earned that. Alright ladies, gonna come clean, I'm not here to fight you. I'm here to shut down Heartstone. In fact, I'm kind of specifically here to get you, and any of your friends, out of here safely. Contrary to what you may have heard..." > Open helmet up. "I'm not exactly a berserk construct. We don't have to keep fighting. I really don't want to keep fighting you. I'd prefer you stopped beating me up, and then we talk a bit, then you help me and my friends gather up all the girls here, and everyone goes off to somewhere less awful. There's some of the girls who used to be here, who got out, they're trying to help too. Aucupe and Null, and Horoma and Belua as well."

"... If I'm right, the people here gave you powers, and that armor, right? Did they ever tell you how they got ahold of the powers, and how they could put it into you?"
