I pull an arrow from my quiver and knock it onto my bowstring. Then I proceed to move as swiftly as possible while being fairly silent following the woman off in the direction of the scream. All this being done in the shadows and looking for anything out of the ordinary with my low-light vision.

I look at the cloth a few seconds longer wandering what has takin place and whether the person who had been wearing the cloth was still alive. I grip my long sword even tighter and head off at a full sprint with out care of the noise I make for I know that the beast already knows of my presence. Without saying anything to the skeletons or the woman I motion for them to follow. I follow the tracks of the creature as best I can with my low light vision in hopes of reaching the girl before it is too late.

Seeing her leave I shift myself into the shadows awaiting what may come and ready to fight or run away. My hand stays close to my daggers since my trusty bow is not here. I scan the room to make sure no trouble brews near me.

draconia: As you go to kick him in the abdomen, he quickly grabs your foot, and makes you fall on to the ground on your butt, and he takes out a dagger and goes to stick you with it in your gut.

JrEye: Watching the woman run out and you look around as you creep into the shadows to keep yourself safe, you notice there is no danger in the tavern, it's what's outside in those woods where the danger lies. The scream, such a painful scream.

Nighthawk: You run off following the woman, and you notice she picks up her pace, and you can sense something has her worried. She quickly takes a left turn, and as you follow along, keeping up with her the best you can, but trying to keep silent, as you rush through the mud and rain, you notice a figure standing in the rain looking down at the ground, but the woman keep running past it, through the woods, and then she jumps over some brushes, and as you go on through them, you feel something hit you in the back of the head, making you fall forward on to the ground in the mud. As you look up you see the woman glaring down at you with angry blue eyes. She kicks you over on to your back and stands hovering over you.

"Leave now! And don't follow me! Or..." Her voice trails off as you both hear an agonizing howl. "It is not safe here." She replies and runs off leaving you on the ground, the rain drops falling upon your face gently, and you see lightening flash trhough the night sky making it look almost daylight.

Cenerae: As you hide and watch the man in the dark, you see him motion you to follow. Confused at first as to how he saw you, and then as you look up you see the same four skeletons you saw with that man with the scythe. The bag of bones gave your presance away.

leanos: After motioning the woman and skeletons to follow, you go off through the mud and rain. While going along, you follow the foot prints, or at least what's left of them from the rain, you come to a mountain, but no opening.

Socaddict: As you lie in your bed you hear a howl outside in the distance. You can hear the wind whispering as well, and some murmurs down stairs of uneasiness.

Jagoda: After speaking with your skeletons and you speak to the woman she sits down across from you and lets out a depressing sigh.
"It's sad really. Two months ago a little girl went missing...A girl who is special to this place. Some say a certain man lead her to the forbidden paths. It's a place where people go mad. Some even die from it. There's been so much greif here ever since...I honestly think the reason why our Lady wants her back is...*whispers* is because I think she may be related to her in some way." She replies and nods her head solomnly. "But that's my thought. I am not sure. The girl's parents died trying to find her. And her grandfather...Sal the bar tender, is worried as well, but he doesn't wish to go look. I think he may have a part in the disappearance...He seems to calm all the time..." She goes to say something else but gets cut off by a man.

"Chasity, get back to work!" You hear a man say and she jumps a little and smiles. "Well..I best be off." She replies and walks off towards the bar.

I hop to my feet rubbing my head. I pick my treasured bow out of the mud and knock the arrow back onto the string. I scan the area around me and find the tracks of the woman heading off into the darkness. If I dont see anything interesting when I scan the area I will head off following the woman's tracks again this time more aware of my surroundings.

I disolve into the shadows and make way in the shadow world towards the scream. I emerge into the shadows of the forest and grab my bow, I look around to see what lies in the night. With my bow at the ready I pray for what may decide to cross my path tonight.

It could be possible this one had just arrived on the scene, she conceded to herself. Closing her eyes and whispering a quiet prayer to Lady Luck, she followed, though choosing to keep to the shadows, and staying a short distance behind this man. She hated skeletons...

I stop when I reach the mountain. I look at the mountain in disbelief. "How could something that large have just up and vanished that quickly. I search the mountain thouroughly looking for any sign of where the monster could have went to. If I find a path or place where the monster could have gone I will proceed through as silently as i can and very cautiously, sword at the ready.

He nods his head from under his hood as he listens to the cute little girls story then all stops as his deathly stare lock onto the man that interupted the girls story. He softly spoke an erre chant bairly audible but maby to those close at hand. Though heard but most undistinguisable as He sat there in his chair chanting the verse three times. The man begins to Choak and gasp for air and grabbing as if there were some one standing there choaking him. The Dark robed man looked back to the girl.

"Pleassse child finisssh your ssstory tell me all that plaguesss thisss town."

Letting the man choak on his own harsh words feeding him a terror and vision of My undead minions tortureing him to his own dispicable life then raising him back from the dead and only to tourture him to death again. The vision so shocking and breath takeing that he must gasp for air from the fearfull Illusions

draconia: As you grab his knife hand and try fighting to take it out from his grasp, at the same time trying to cast your spells, but you can't concentrate long enough with this man that is on you. You hear your wife let out a growl, and you see her kick the man on the side of his head, and his hood falls back letting you see his face, and as you look up at him you notice it is the construction worker from the tavern that was sitting next to the woman at the bar.

"DAMN YOU WOMAN!" He screams, and as he pushes down more on you with one hand, he reaches up with his other and grabs your wife's leg, and pulls it out from underneath her making her fall to the ground with a *thump* You feel his strength give up some as he reacts to your wife.

Nighthawk: After getting up and following the tracks again of the woman, you see a man standing looking at a wall of a mountain, and the tracks seem to have disappeared and no sign of a woman anywhere. It was as though she disappeared into thin air.

leanos: While looking at the mountain in disbelief, and you begin searching it, you notice a man out of the corner of your eye standing to the left of you. His boots muddy from the dirt and rain.

Cenerae: With every step you take the skeletons follow you from close behind. And every time you stop they stop as well. Their bones making noise as they walk your pace from behind.
After a few moments, you notice you and this stranger are now face to face with a mountain and no sign of anything. No girl, no monster, no blood. Just rain and mud, and another stranger, that you recognize a bit from the brush. He was the one hiding in the bushes. Could he have been spying on you? Is he following you? Why was he hiding in the brush, and why is he here again? Perhaps coincidense, or is it?

JrEye: You successfully go through the shadow world, everything looking black and white and a bit creepy as you see trees that look dead, and a mountain that spits fire. After coming out of the shadow world, and emerging into the forest, you see three people standing near a mountain. Two men and a woman, and four skeletons that were in the tavern with that awkward looking man at the table. But where is that man? Ah yes, you remember he is at the tavern still.
As your eyes roam around the area, you spot something sticking out of the mountain side slightly. You can't tell what it is really, put from where you are standing it looks like to be some sort of lever...but very small.

Jagoda: As the woman goes to walk away and you cast your spell upon the man behind the bar and you speak out to her she jumps slightly, and a look of fear glistens in her eyes. She slowly turns around and walks back towards your table and sits down. Her eyes looking about frantically, and as the man chokes behind the bar, you see some people run to him jumping over the bar, and when the woman goes to speak again, she gets interrupted, five men stand up and begin walking towards you.

"He is the one who did it. I knew he was trouble the moment he arrived here." One of them replies, his stomach bigger than his legs, and his hair greasy and matted looking.

"I say we take him out and teach him a lesson." Another one says in a deeper tone, his physique well sculptuered, and his face scruffy looking with the stubs on his chin. The other three just nod and agree, and they hover over your table. The girl quickly gets up and runs away from the table and the men now circle you at your table near the window. You see lightening flash again outside, and the men glare at you.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

so far as i said i'll do one of the following actions.

so if you mentioned that casting a spell was not recomended i would not have done..

thats the hole point of stating a list of actions i chould do. exsept you take the first one every time and fail to advice which in you appon would be best suited.

so when i gave my list of posable options my third sould of been picked or my first yet you just dont seam to pick the best and most fitting one which is what shold happon you pick the one that make least sence.

i'm know to this game, and so far that being used against me.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

if my leg is free i'll knee him in the groin. if it is not i will not bother.

as casting spells is not an option i'll not bother.(though why you could not have said this in an OOC is beond me.)

so i'll grab his knife in both hands and press my own attack by using his own knife against him. by forcing into his own throut.

She turned to glare balefully at the skeletons dogging her footsteps. As an elf, even a halfblood, she still felt deep roots in the life cycle. Undead were perversions of that cycle, thus this explained why she took from under her cloak her holy symbol, shaped much like a gold coin, with etchings of a woman's face in the surface, and yelled "Begone!" at them. The brief burst of brilliant white light that shot forth from the symbol dazzled her for a moment, and she blinked back spots of black from her vision while hoping it had worked. They were mere skeletons, after all...she hoped.

He beconed her with his boned arm as he siped his wine glass with his fleshed arm.
