Nogard exhaled, leaning on his spear. "Everyone made it out alright?"

Shoe nodded. He seemed alright.

Shoe went back to petting Qodi.

This was what I get for zoning out, he thought.

This is what I get for leaving for an hour, haha.

This is what you get

“Yeah, we’re okay.” Gail didn’t have a scratch on her. Since she was too useless to fight. 

Qodi had a little scratch on her paw. She pressed her paw down onto Gail’s shoulder. The scratch vanished. 

Gail felt a pain in her hand and sighed. Oh well. Sometimes it was much worse.

"Hey, I was under pressure. Give me time instead of starting a fight next time and I can take us to a beach in ubilaM."

"I said not to fight," Zanitar continued grumbling near-silently. "But noooooo, we just had to anger the Council. Why listen to me when you can go do your own thing anyway?"

At that last bit, Qodi looked away and scratched her ear innocently. 

Zanitar looked at Qodi, and raised an eyebrow. That rabbit is not exactly great a subtlety (if I'm assuming this correctly).

Zanitar walked over, and putting his hand on her shoulder (and an extra hand on Qodi, just in case only the pain transfered and not the actual wound), healed the scratch.

Then he walked off, silver blood dripping from his many, many, wounds.

“Thanks,” Gail said. “—Are you okay? Qodi can—“ She cut off as the rabbit tugged her hair.

Wait, my Qodi? Wtesc??

[Through the Living Wrath he/him]

Tull stared at the familiar creature. So this man had created the arachnidishes. He watched the arachnidish tear at the people, and watched one group disappear altogether.

Setting his eyes on the Baron of Wrath, he used his steel to steel push against the armor. Gasping as the man disappeared, he shifted to the right instinctively, and felt the dark blade just barely missing him, instead the light blade just barely nicking him. 

He grinned. He had not revealed his greatest weapon yet. He burnt the zincmind and steelmind in his stomach, watching the world slow down. He burnt his pewtermind, and punched a surprised Baron of Wrath. The died, leaving behind his weapons. Tull picked them up, and felt them. They were the essence of… Plot Twists.

"Was it about the plotblades?" inquired Nogard.

The OA followed him. “I wasn’t planning on fighting either. The others though… I had to get us out of there.”

Nogard glanced up. "Hey, where are you guys going?"

[Bird Furious she/her/un/important]

“Beosta” was the name she gave. A strange name, yes, but the barkeep didn’t tend to ask questions to women with rings like that, shoes like that, hair like that, and a gaze like that. He served what she’d ordered— an incredibly strong concoction made from special grasses— and left her alone. 

Beosta was pleased.

I was gonna save her for later but y’all are being so boringggg

"OA literally played the past conversation for us. Did you not listen? And yes, there was mention of Plotblades. Apparently there are two more, linked, plotblades that are the most dangerous. I find it hard to believe, but the Brave Adventurer seems confident."

Qodi perked up. Plotblades. Talk more about Plotblades. 

also if anyone feels like engaging with the thing i wrote two posts ago, go ahead. On the other hand, i don't care if it gets buried cuz then i can just reintroduce her when i decide i want her to matter. 

All those words to say "do whatever you want"

I talk too much. Ask @Kajsa

Oof, I don't know if I can keep up with this. For now just assume that the guy with the big metal staff is still around, I guess?

@The Aspiring Archivist, since you've been here there's only really been a couple of scenes from Sandy's point of view.

The whole party decided to set off searching for Gail's rabbit. They arrive at the mountain, but then an Important Thing happens with the Brave Adventurers related to new Plotblades. OA feels a disturbance in the force and decides he wants to get in on the action, and everyone else tags along. They walk in on the Brave Adventurers arresting a group under suspicion of being spies. (They also find Gail's rabbit.) Nogard recognizes his brother among them, and a fight breaks out. A dude named The Baron of Wrath shows up with a Plotblade and starts turning people into weird monsters, and then OA teleports everyone out of the Brave Adventurers' HQ and onto a snowy mountain (which is where we are now.)

There was a thump as the door was flung open.

"Greetings, all!" cried Bacon the Bard. "Fear not, for I have come to vanquish boredom!"

He started juggling pianos and playing them at the same time.

"I, uh... I think I caught something about the Great Wizard? They thought my brother was a spy for him, or something."

Beosta pressed her lips together. Her patience allotment for the day was running out. Apparently she'd have to find somewhere better than a tavern  to go through the files. 

Or maybe she could just tune out the noise. 

She reached up and tapped the furry hat of an animal tangled in her loose, dark hair. The stoat quivered, then squeaked, and the noise faded to the background.  

Finally. She pulled out a paper folder and began to flip through it. 

Oop that's post 3000

"Hello!" said Bacon the Bard from three inches in front of her. "Is your name Beosta?"

Nope posts here don't count :P.

Sweet. Goodness knows where that post is then xD 

She jumped out of her chair and closed the folder. "Excuse me?" She growled.

Did Erif escape?

Yeah, he got knocked out. (I forgot to mention it.)

Erif groaned, holding a hand to his forehead as he regained consciousness. He glared at Nogard.

"How is it you always manage to mess things up?"

"I'll take that as a yes! You see, you are a Brand New Character! Which means the thread has a lot of questions about you and your backstory! Can I have a moment of your time to answer some questions?!"
