[12:04am] • BraveBlade walks with the war party, spear resting over his shoulder, keeping his eyes and ears opened
[12:05am] • Bryna sticks close to Braveblade, eyes alert, watching those around her and trying her best to stay out of the way.
[12:05am] • SeriouslyNoBull stays at the walk, his shotgun slung against his shoulder.
[12:06am] • Farid keeps to his homid form for the time being, if only because he'd be *that* much larger otherwise. He sticks to the center of the formation for now, the FAL casually slung yet ready to holster at moment's notice.
[12:06am] • Wren seems to stay near the rear of the group, eyes front and ears twitching wildly in all directions for trouble. Small strings of drool seem to hang from his maw as he psyches himself for battle.
[12:07am] Fayth: <<>>The woods would thicken with brambles and ragged undergrowth as they gradually neared the clearing. (fast traveling the actual walking distance). Trees become dark hunched over twisted forms that seem to dance and move in the dark gloom. Not a sound can be heard, no crickets, no birds...the silence seeming to offer their sounds back to them in deafening chorus. Up head it can be seen that the woods thin, the moons light shining down in welcome silvery beams that seemed -just- out of reach as they had to still traverse at least 20 yards of the murky hell.<<>>
[12:08am] Jason`: "this is not nice"
[12:09am] • BraveBlade moves foreward cautiously, skin itchiny and twitching, readying for battle... and readying to shift, spear held in a ready posture, point lowered ahead of himself
[12:10am] • Farid signals to BraveBlade, his hands pointing to the rest. "You can coordinate wolves better. I'm ready to shift upward."
[12:10am] • Wren lays his ears back, waiting for a threat to show. He hunches down and moves slowly in a position ready for a pouncing attack.
[12:12am] • Bryna absently rubs her pendant between her finger and thumb, her other hand cluctching tightly to her satchel of supplies. She can feel her skin bristling as they move ahead.
[12:13am] • BraveBlade speaks firmly, but soft enough to not carry,"Wren, Bryna.. stay back slightly, behind myself, Jason and Ekko... supplement our attack.. Farid will be engaging in his own tactics... Gaia be with you.", he says, shifting fluidly to crinos, fur a glossy black, spear smaller compared to his current size but still deadly looking... those paying enough attention would not Brave
[12:13am] • BraveBlade lacks a tail
[12:14am] • Wren growls lightly, annoyed sounding.

[12:14am] • Jason` unhinges the grenade launche rundersluing to the M5 and loads it
[12:16am] Fayth: <<>>Branches reach out like skeletal fingertips seeming to reach out to tangle into hair and clothes almost like it was impede their movement. They'd manage to make the clearing without incident. On first sight it seems normal the only difference being the silence and the overwhelming sense of 'wrong'. The energy here was decidedly off of norm and had an undercurrent of anger...almost malicious anger<<>>
[12:16am] • Bryna nods, slipping her satchel from her shoulder and finding a low branch to hang it from.
[12:16am] • SeriouslyNoBull unshoulders and readies his shotgun.
[12:17am] • Farid shifts upward into...a giant armored lizard-being straight out of some primal nightmare of forgotten evolution. Standing almost one-and-a-half times the size of the tailless crinos, even when attempting to hunch-forward, the massive lizardman looks ponderous and ungazing...in spite of this all, the rifle still existed in his hand like a toy pistol, as he still had opposable
[12:17am] • Farid thumbs with the means to wield one.
[12:18am] • BraveBlade narrows his eyes, ears pinning back, slipping into the clearing slightly, spear readied..also ready to drop it if claws are needed
[12:18am] • Jason` shifts to crinos
[12:19am] • Wren seems to remain in hispo, feeling more comfortable in this form than crinos.
[12:21am] Fayth: <<>>The shadows seem to shift and move and the edges of the clearing, undulating like a living force. Each shift and move seems to mimic their own hearts and breathing patterns....were the shadows playing with them? Or was something darker lurking in its depths? The wind shifts bringing a fetid stench so vile it makes Kaia's earlier aroma as pleasant as lavender in comparison. (roll stamina difficulty 7)<<>>
[12:23am] • Farid is now a hulking hurler...and not of the type that tosses objects around! He feels his stomach heave, and that's not a pretty thing to witness in a giant lizard.
[12:23am] • SeriouslyNoBull takes this moment to activate Resist Toxin.
[12:24am] • Wren growls lightly and grits his teeth, the stench is overbearing but he resists the urge to vomit.
[12:25am] • Bryna blinks, covering her mouth quickly, but her stomach disagrees. She falls to her knees, retching from the smell.
[12:26am] • BraveBlade grunts and twitches violently, glad noone is in mental contact with him as anger sweeps through him like a wildfire, stepping further into the clearing, snarling faintly, ears pinned back still, upper lip curled away from his teeth, shifting his spear, ready to lash out with it

[9:54pm] Fayth: <<>>Recap: The opposing element are on the farside of the clearing and shuffling closer. This translates to about 150' away (50 yards). These things have yet to be identified much beyond twisted dark creatures, at least one of them making a mad gibbering sound, like some insane thing long gone to rot. The clearing seems to darken further, even the moon's beams struggling to penetrate it<<>>

[10:13pm] Jason-cr-21r2: "light em up"

[10:16pm] • Farid2RP1 advances head-on, his rifle at the hip as he plays the role of walking gun emplacement.
[10:20pm] • BB_Cr26R4 moves himself forward, balanced and poised, his spear leading as he hurls it towards the gibbering form ahead of the group, snarling
[10:21pm] • Wren-Hispo-16R2 lowers himself, ready to pounce at a nearby enemy. He looks rather silly in his massive wolfen form, especially since the enemies are not close.
[10:25pm] Farid2RP1 is now known as Farid12P1.
[10:26pm] • BB_Cr26R4 growls as his spear deflects off the creature harmlessly
[10:26pm] • Farid12P1 starts clicking his teeth and a small chant starts building up at the base of his draconic throat...

[10:29pm] Ekko12R2 is now known as Ekko13R2.
[10:30pm] Rushica joined the chat room.
[10:35pm] • Jason-cr-21r2 takes a knee and draws a bead on the gibbering on, he gentyl squeezes the trigger and the stillnessof the night is shattered by the barking RIIIP and flash of an automatic weapon
[10:37pm] • Wren-Hispo-16R2 continues to growl low and feral, holding his position and awaiting an order. He looks less than thrilled about his order to "stay back".
[10:38pm] • BB_Cr26R4 did say, stay behind him and attack as able...not stay way back
[10:41pm] Fayth: <<>>The night seems to shudder sickeningly, the gibbering creature squawks in indignation at the hurled weapon its nightmarish sounds growing even louder. Its companions scattering spreading around the group bringing them even closer. The distance revealing the misshapen forms to be horribly mishapen....they might have been human at one point but that was in the distant past. The gibbering ones skin is a murky midnight black its humanoid form covered in a thousand fanged mouths that all seem to speak at once. The one to its right is of a similar color this one a shiny black mucous maybe? covers it, dripping slowly as it moves closer. To the left of the mouth covered one is a creature that looks much like a twisted zombie, heavy fetid breath with claws that drip something that hisses on impact with the earth. The one on the far left of the group looks much the same as the one next to it though rotted and bloated, like a carcass dragged from the lake to be left rotting two days in the sun.<<>>
[10:59pm] Fayth: <<>>The one dripping foul liquid from its claws plants itself firmly and roars out a deep preternatural sound that ends in a piercing shriek like nails on a chalk board. All the mouths on the dark skinned on begin to chatter all at once, a nightmarish miasma flowing from it but not yet effecting anyone<<>>
[10:59pm] • SNB-14 shoots the guy that roared at Siezes.
[11:01pm] • Jason-cr-21r2 drops the m-4 and flees, something in him snapping and he panics
[11:06pm] • SNB-14 manages to get a bullet in on roar-guy... bruising him.
[11:15pm] • Ekko13R2 moves forwards to the right and slashes at the bad guy close to her, claws swiping through and hitting well but her claws slice through only slightly
[11:15pm] • Ekko13R2 yanks back and growls <g> "Im stuck!"
[11:19pm] • Farid12P1 focuses...and an aura of light illuminates the battlefield, leaving the monstrous forms mostly clear-as-the-day. Somewhere, the words had slipped past his memory.
[11:31pm] Fayth: <<>>The dark oozing thing Ekko is stuck to rears back to back hand her as hard it can, not doing any damage but becoming stuck on her face and hair. The fetid creature on the far left of the group starts to heave violently, rears back like its going to spew something and swallows it instead.<<>>
[11:34pm] • Bryna-CR-9 shakes her head, clearing the anger for a moment. She takes note of Braveblade's injury and quickly steps to his side. Her paw gently brushes the wound, healing it.
[11:34pm] • BB_Cr26R4 didn't have a single visible wound
[11:37pm] • Wren-Hispo-16R2 howls and speeds forward on all fours, leaping at the muckus and tearing into the creature with his jaws. He chews a large portion of its face off but is stuck to the creature and continually growling./

[11:48pm] • Wren-Hispo-16R1 growls loudly and snarls as best he can with a stuck maw. His left paw swiping at the muck creature and ripping out some of the...flesh? But getting stuck there as well. He flais about with hand and mouth stuck.
[11:51pm] Fayth: <<>>The gibbering creature shrieks out in terror, screaming from all its mouths at Brave Blade, vibrating in its wrath as its struck. The tar baby Wren is glued to shudders from his assault falling to its knees as it is pierced by his claws bleeding out a fetid noxious ooze<<>>

[12:00am] • Ekko13R2 slashes at the one shes stuck to with her free hand, slicing through it easily with deadly claws

[12:03am] • BB_Cr26R2 rips his claws out and spins, bringing his other hand around in a backhand slash at the gibbering nightmare
[12:05am] Fayth: <<>>The one Ekko slashes into shudders violent then explodes outwards in thick sticky ropes covering everything in a fifteen foot radius. They are now free to move but move at half speed for the next round. The one draka attacks begins to vibrate, shrieking in a loud high pitched wail as it finally falls, twitching violently, those with heightened senses active or are in lupus/hispo need to roll stamina to see if their hearing is damaged<<>>
[12:11am] Bryna-CR-9 left the chat room.
[12:13am] • Wren-Hispo-16R1 howls with rage as he is freed, leaping toward the creature vomitting. His jaws clamps down on the creature shoulder and his body follows the momentum from his pounce and he stands snarling behind where he attacked.

[12:20am] Ekko13R2 is now known as Ekko13R1.
[12:21am] Fayth: <<>>The creature he bites looses a foul stench as his fangs sink in. Ekko's follow up attack has it trembling in rage as it shrieks. The other remaining enemy is sliced and diced quite neatly, falling limply to the ground where its blood hisses, eating into its own body and the plant life bleow.<<>>

[12:39am] Fayth: <<>>The ground begins to shake as something huge pads with ponderous steps from a seeming nothing in front of them. One massive paw slamming into the earth at a time as it steps through the umbral tear. Their eyes slowly take it in....a. monstrous bear, easily larger then a draft horse with ragged rotting fur roars out into their group, snarling viciously<<>>
[12:43am] • Farid12P1 looks at the bear, and immediately he has his trepidation at slaying one of bear's children...he looks to the Rite of Cleansing he had prepared prior to this mission...and advances towards the umbral ursid.
[12:48am] • Farid12P1 moves towards the bear, and basically gets as close as possible to it before pressing a button. *Click* The effect is basically taking the Rite of Cleansing that he had been performing before they had headed out for the mission, and insta-performing it at moment of playback.
[12:49am] • Wren-H-15R2 leaps at the bear, trying in vain to bite its shoulder but his teeth never penetrate.

[01:27am] • SNB-13-r2 shifts around to slash at the bear's side.

[01:31am] Ekko13R1 is now known as Ekko.
[01:32am] • Ekko looks around at the carnage, the blood in her fur the same color as it so its hard to tell how splattered she is but the goo drips and mats her fur, she sees Jason and hurries to him to place hands on him for healing
[01:33am] Fayth: <<>>The bear shudders, slumping hard into the earth. It starts to fade, its forming going fainter, more mist like with every passing moment<<>>
[01:35am] • BB_Cr20R1 blinks,<g>"It's a Bane...", he says, before stepping forward to stick his claws into the fading figure, beginning to absorb its Gnosis,"I will need a Cleansing after this... desperately so."
[01:36am] • Farid12P1 looks to BraveBlade, as he states "I can perform the rite should we have any water to spare." He's still in dinoman form.
[01:36am] • Ekko heals Jason up so he's almost good as new <g> "Do you need more or are you okay?"

[01:39am] Fayth: <<>>The glade seems to be slowly returning to normal. The fomori's tainted blood seeping into the earth<<>>
[01:41am] • BraveBlade shudders and gags slightly, absrbing the Bane's Gnosis to destroy it, upper lip curling up from his teeth,<g>"Someone tell Farid I'm ready to be cleansed... might as well hit the whole glade."

[10:16pm] • Farid2RP1 advances head-on, his rifle at the hip as he plays the role of walking gun emplacement.
[10:20pm] • BB_Cr26R4 moves himself forward, balanced and poised, his spear leading as he hurls it towards the gibbering form ahead of the group, snarling
[10:21pm] • Wren-Hispo-16R2 lowers himself, ready to pounce at a nearby enemy. He looks rather silly in his massive wolfen form, especially since the enemies are not close.
[10:25pm] Farid2RP1 is now known as Farid12P1.
[10:26pm] • BB_Cr26R4 growls as his spear deflects off the creature harmlessly
[10:26pm] • Farid12P1 starts clicking his teeth and a small chant starts building up at the base of his draconic throat...

[10:35pm] • Jason-cr-21r2 takes a knee and draws a bead on the gibbering on, he gentyl squeezes the trigger and the stillnessof the night is shattered by the barking RIIIP and flash of an automatic weapon
[10:37pm] • Wren-Hispo-16R2 continues to growl low and feral, holding his position and awaiting an order. He looks less than thrilled about his order to "stay back".
[10:38pm] • BB_Cr26R4 did say, stay behind him and attack as able...not stay way back
[10:41pm] Fayth: <<>>The night seems to shudder sickeningly, the gibbering creature squawks in indignation at the hurled weapon its nightmarish sounds growing even louder. Its companions scattering spreading around the group bringing them even closer. The distance revealing the misshapen forms to be horribly mishapen....they might have been human at one point but that was in the distant past. The gibbering ones skin is a murky midnight black its humanoid form covered in a thousand fanged mouths that all seem to speak at once. The one to its right is of a similar color this one a shiny black mucous maybe? covers it, dripping slowly as it moves closer. To the left of the mouth covered one is a creature that looks much like a twisted zombie, heavy fetid breath with claws that drip something that hisses on impact with the earth. The one on the far left of the group looks much the same as the one next to it though rotted and bloated, like a carcass dragged from the lake to be left rotting two days in the sun.<<>>
[10:59pm] Fayth: <<>>The one dripping foul liquid from its claws plants itself firmly and roars out a deep preternatural sound that ends in a piercing shriek like nails on a chalk board. All the mouths on the dark skinned on begin to chatter all at once, a nightmarish miasma flowing from it but not yet effecting anyone<<>>
[10:59pm] • SNB-14 shoots the guy that roared at Siezes.
[11:01pm] • Jason-cr-21r2 drops the m-4 and flees, something in him snapping and he panics
[11:06pm] • SNB-14 manages to get a bullet in on roar-guy... bruising him.
[11:15pm] • Ekko13R2 moves forwards to the right and slashes at the bad guy close to her, claws swiping through and hitting well but her claws slice through only slightly
[11:15pm] • Ekko13R2 yanks back and growls <g> "Im stuck!"
[11:19pm] • Farid12P1 focuses...and an aura of light illuminates the battlefield, leaving the monstrous forms mostly clear-as-the-day. Somewhere, the words had slipped past his memory.
[11:31pm] Fayth: <<>>The dark oozing thing Ekko is stuck to rears back to back hand her as hard it can, not doing any damage but becoming stuck on her face and hair. The fetid creature on the far left of the group starts to heave violently, rears back like its going to spew something and swallows it instead.<<>>
[11:34pm] • Bryna-CR-9 shakes her head, clearing the anger for a moment. She takes note of Braveblade's injury and quickly steps to his side. Her paw gently brushes the wound, healing it.
[11:34pm] • BB_Cr26R4 didn't have a single visible wound
[11:37pm] • Wren-Hispo-16R2 howls and speeds forward on all fours, leaping at the muckus and tearing into the creature with his jaws. He chews a large portion of its face off but is stuck to the creature and continually growling./

[11:47pm] Wren-Hispo-16R2 is now known as Wren-Hispo-16R1.
[11:48pm] • Wren-Hispo-16R1 growls loudly and snarls as best he can with a stuck maw. His left paw swiping at the muck creature and ripping out some of the...flesh? But getting stuck there as well. He flais about with hand and mouth stuck.
[11:51pm] Fayth: <<>>The gibbering creature shrieks out in terror, screaming from all its mouths at Brave Blade, vibrating in its wrath as its struck. The tar baby Wren is glued to shudders from his assault falling to its knees as it is pierced by his claws bleeding out a fetid noxious ooze<<>>

[12:00am] • Ekko13R2 slashes at the one shes stuck to with her free hand, slicing through it easily with deadly claws

[12:03am] • BB_Cr26R2 rips his claws out and spins, bringing his other hand around in a backhand slash at the gibbering nightmare
[12:05am] Fayth: <<>>The one Ekko slashes into shudders violent then explodes outwards in thick sticky ropes covering everything in a fifteen foot radius. They are now free to move but move at half speed for the next round. The one draka attacks begins to vibrate, shrieking in a loud high pitched wail as it finally falls, twitching violently, those with heightened senses active or are in lupus/hispo need to roll stamina to see if their hearing is damaged<<>>
[12:11am] Bryna-CR-9 left the chat room.
[12:13am] • Wren-Hispo-16R1 howls with rage as he is freed, leaping toward the creature vomitting. His jaws clamps down on the creature shoulder and his body follows the momentum from his pounce and he stands snarling behind where he attacked.

[12:16am] • Ekko13R2 moves forwards feeling..well..gooey, she slashes at the vomiter after Wren bites it, her claws slash through it easily
[12:19am] • BB_Cr26R2 rounds onto the roaring one with acid dripping claws, lashing out with right claws, then left, shredding through the monstrosity like tissue paper, blood spurting and spraying as the corpse falls, fur bristled out
[12:19am] • Wren shakes his head a few times, the horrible taste in his mouth causing him to gag and spit.
[12:20am] Ekko13R2 is now known as Ekko13R1.
[12:21am] Fayth: <<>>The creature he bites looses a foul stench as his fangs sink in. Ekko's follow up attack has it trembling in rage as it shrieks. The other remaining enemy is sliced and diced quite neatly, falling limply to the ground where its blood hisses, eating into its own body and the plant life bleow.<<>>

[12:39am] Fayth: <<>>The ground begins to shake as something huge pads with ponderous steps from a seeming nothing in front of them. One massive paw slamming into the earth at a time as it steps through the umbral tear. Their eyes slowly take it in....a. monstrous bear, easily larger then a draft horse with ragged rotting fur roars out into their group, snarling viciously<<>>
[12:43am] • Farid12P1 looks at the bear, and immediately he has his trepidation at slaying one of bear's children...he looks to the Rite of Cleansing he had prepared prior to this mission...and advances towards the umbral ursid.
[12:48am] • Farid12P1 moves towards the bear, and basically gets as close as possible to it before pressing a button. *Click* The effect is basically taking the Rite of Cleansing that he had been performing before they had headed out for the mission, and insta-performing it at moment of playback.
[12:49am] • Wren-H-15R2 leaps at the bear, trying in vain to bite its shoulder but his teeth never penetrate.
[12:51am] • Ekko13R1 jumps forwards and slashes at the great beast, slicing through it like a knive through butter
[12:52am] • SNB-13-r2 rushes forward to claw at the bearthing.

[01:18am] • BB_Cr20R1 twitches, Rage coursing through the normally calm and collected BraveBlade, claws flashing out to tear into the large corrupted looking bear
[01:20am] • Jason-cr-21r2 bursts out of the woods, in crinos, his steel fur glinting in the moonlight as he leaps atthe creature, to bury his claws in its face.....onlyto be backhanded into a large tree
[01:24am] • Ekko13R1 roars and jumps, she slashes down the front of the mangy bear
[01:27am] • SNB-13-r2 shifts around to slash at the bear's side.
[01:31am] • SNB-13-r2 gets a good slash in there... one that barely nicks the bear after all is said and done... but what a nick.
[01:31am] Ekko13R1 is now known as Ekko.
[01:32am] • Ekko looks around at the carnage, the blood in her fur the same color as it so its hard to tell how splattered she is but the goo drips and mats her fur, she sees Jason and hurries to him to place hands on him for healing
[01:33am] Fayth: <<>>The bear shudders, slumping hard into the earth. It starts to fade, its forming going fainter, more mist like with every passing moment<<>>
[01:35am] • BB_Cr20R1 blinks,<g>"It's a Bane...", he says, before stepping forward to stick his claws into the fading figure, beginning to absorb its Gnosis,"I will need a Cleansing after this... desperately so."
[01:36am] • Farid12P1 looks to BraveBlade, as he states "I can perform the rite should we have any water to spare." He's still in dinoman form.
[01:36am] • Ekko heals Jason up so he's almost good as new <g> "Do you need more or are you okay?"

[01:39am] Fayth: <<>>The glade seems to be slowly returning to normal. The fomori's tainted blood seeping into the earth<<>>
[01:41am] • BraveBlade shudders and gags slightly, absrbing the Bane's Gnosis to destroy it, upper lip curling up from his teeth,<g>"Someone tell Farid I'm ready to be cleansed... might as well hit the whole glade."
