Salt stopped in her tracks. “Im sorry what!? They defeated the witherlord like the…” they sped up a bit to catch ribbon. “How?! I tried- i mean… HOW?”

"Well, more specifically, the guardian defeated Malevolence, who summoned and became the Witherlord. But still, Malevolence is strong. Much stronger than myself."

"Alright," Kevin shrugged. "If it's evil, I'll try to figure it out. Any other cryptic clues, or is this the point where I head off and almost immediately get ambushed?"

"I'm supposed to tell you that you need to find an adventurer to join you. Good for the soul, I suppose."

She nodded “regardless, maybe we could talk it out yes?”

Eli just stayed silent and her and Levi shared a look. 

Elinore nodded and followed 

There were some buildings around, so Ennalee started towards the first one she saw- it looked like a kind of food stand. Pulling a single coin from her pocket, she purchased an apple. "So," she said to the stand owner. "Do you know anywhere we can go to clean up?" The stand owner snorted, then extended his hand, palm up. Ennalee dropped another coin into it, and he pointed to a building off to the side. "The local inn," he said, not elaborating more. 

"Thank you!" Ennalee said, then gestured for the others to follow her as they walked towards the inn.

Kevin chuckled. "That figures. I guess I'll go find a tavern. Or chaos. Both seem very good at attracting adventurers."

He hesitates, then blurts out, "Thank you very much!" before staring down at his feet, beginning to work out teleportation.

"Talk it out with the soulless Guardian of the Plotblade?" She shook her head. "I don't know if I've ever seen that guy talk."

Rirrom sighed, then accelerated Kevin's teleportation and sent him zipping off.

Kevin yelled as he vanished, reappearing next to a flaming inn. Well, that can happen. He looked at the inn. People were yelling. And I suppose this is both a tavern and chaos.

Glancing around him, he walked towards the blaze, wincing at the heat. The ceiling popped and cracked under the fire, but most people seemed to have had the sense to evacuate already, despite the several people passed out in a drunken stupor. 

Thank you very much! Do I continue with this scene until it overlaps with someone else's? Apologise for all the questions; I'm trying to figure out Thread etiquette.

Salt nodded. “Well i mean… ive been told i get people to talk.” She said and beamed.

They followed. Kevin stayed silent, Levi and Eli spoke softly between themselves.

"I don't know if the guardian necessarily counts as 'people'..."

A midsized figure in plated armor burst out of the front door, coughing and holding a large sword make of cloudy black glass in their left hand. A man, his clothes smoldering and clutching a wound on his shoulder, stumbled out after him, holding a dagger. He moved as if to attack the armored figure, who turned around and batted the blade from his hand and stared, expression hidden but body language firm. The would-be killer ran off. 
It basically is a sandbox with really only the rule of “don’t be a jerk”. In the end, you really can’t kill someone else’s character unless they accept it, and things mostly work themselves out

"Do you think he'll just give up the blade by talking?" Ribbon asked, "although I do like the approach of not fighting."

“Probably not but it’s worth a try.”

"I'm worried." Ribbon whispered, suddenly dropping her voice. "I'm just really worried."

Just now, Aeoryi said:

"I'm worried." Ribbon whispered, suddenly dropping her voice. "I'm just really worried."

Salt slowed a bit and grabbed her hand. She looked up (as she was likely not as tall as ribbon.) “itll be alright in the end.” She patted her hand. “We just need to… uhm. Trust..”

"Thank you." Ribbon whispered. "I'm worried that it'll all fall apart ... I don't know of any other way to even harm the Witherlord, I guess. I'm super afraid of screwing this up."

Ennalee paused in the street for a moment. "Skylight? Are you coming with us?"

Alright, thank you very much!!!!!

Kevin stared at the scene for a moment, frozen, then ran up to the armoured figure, mostly because they seemed less likely to stab someone. "Hey! Are you alright? Is anyone still in the inn? What happened?"

Someone with a burned arm and possibly a hangover glared at him, muttering about the loudness.

She paused at the mention of Rebus. "Rebus... I respect him and his authority, but I do wonder what his motives are. I do owe a fair bit of respect to the man, though."

She shrugged. “I understand that. He can be a bit.. rough but in the end he knows if the thread is destroyed he will be to so that counts for something.”

"Unless, of course, he escapes. Rebus knows a lot more than we do." Ribbon sighed. "and that's a scary advantage."

She nodded. “True, it does worry me as well but.. i find its better to think people have some form of good inside them, even if you they are evil through and through. Because it’s human to have some form of light, human, not in a sense of physically, but human as in the way you think, act and feel. Humanity is something everyone can have.”

"That's deep." Ribbon commented, "I don't necessarily have that strong morality."

Okay, I'm gonna ask one more time

@Through The Living Grub
