49,802 | 1,340 | 31 | 653 | 1,095 | Nena led her party into the mine, taking note of the board that claimed Midnight's edge had already made it to the third floor, must have been a bunch of Clearers looking for some Col and exp. And if three was to much for them, she decided to only go there if two turned out to be easy enough.
"Everyone check inventory for health potions and teleport crystals. Dying kind of sucks, so I want you to avoid it" she told her party, before walking up to the nearest skeleton, and hitting it with a Palm Strike. Between her decent strength stat, good weapon, her skills, and the damage bonus from her Set, it exploded into bones on the first strike, and then into pixel-shards, giving her a read-out of col and exp gained for the kill.
"You are not Brook. Stay dead" she told the skeleton that was now nothing but a respawn timer. Then she looked to her party, and gave a nod. "Kill them all!" It was kind of her to delegate, even though she could quite possibly kill them all herself. | Username: BlackRabbit

49,803 | 1,340 | 32 | 2,788 | 1,592 | Excellent Leno exclaimed as he accepted the invite and followed after Nena and Blackrabbit "Name's Leno by the way" He almost walked into the wall several times as he did some inventory management while they walked through the tunnel, his attention returning to the game once they came across the skeletons.
"Kill them all!" The Fox said. Watching as Nena and Rabbit dealt with the first two skeletons Leno just shrugged "No need to waste time" He pulled the bow of his back and rushed a skelly, pulling his dagger out and hooking the thing to swing himself around it and finish it with one of the bladed arms of his bow. Coming out of it with a spin he loaded a scattershot and send it at the last two, the hail enough to kill one and weaken the other. "why you little..." He drew a second arrow and launched it at the surviving skeleton to finish it off.
He put the bow on his back "Handled" | The things with terrible Awesome names are self-crafted.

49,804 | 1,340 | 33 | 2,777 | 4,127 | The first floor minions hardly put up a fight, easily failing to damage the experienced players with their uncoordinated frontal assault. Defense was not even a concept for the poorly armed skeletons of the first floor. These skeletal monsters were only placed to give players an idea of weak points or how brittle they could be, but it served a second point to those smart enough to catch it. The monsters were weak. The later mobs would not be nearly as forgiving a foe. More than one player had met their end in the lower zones for thinking the enemies were easily crushed under heel.
As the last of the skeletons shattered into shards, the floor room and halls were suddenly illuminated with a golden glow. The light revealed a pile of salvageable cloth and chain mail armor and 2 iron nodes. It was a meager amount to gain, but it was a just reward for the effort put in. Some players even farmed the first floor just for tier 2 materials, and sold them for cheap. An easy bit of coin.
Drops from their foes came up with a ping
Leather shoes
Rusted dagger x2
Bone shards x12
Dented helmet
Dented gauntlet
Rusted cleaver
All the items were capable of being broken down into base materials at a forge or with a crafters token.
The sconces lit in a row, one after another, to reveal the exit of the instance or a ladder down to the second floor.
---------------------
The second floor followed the outlines of the first, a series of narrow tunnels twisting around in a spiral before depositing them out into a large open cavern. Nearly 30 feet to the bottom and crawling with skeletons and bats, the floor would force the teams to traverse over narrow pathways and bridges suspended over the pit. To fall meant death on contact.
As the first player enters the dungeon, they will see a single iron ore node. Further into the distance of the mines are the burning red orbs of the patrolling skeletons.
Two such skeletons wield rusty swords but they walk with purpose. They are not mindless and will retreat when combat is made. If not stopped, they will join with the armored mob in the bridge and deny entrance to the third floor. Use caution. | First spot reserved |
49,805 | 1,340 | 34 | 2,788 | 1,592 | Dem skellies died e-z. But, it was to be expected for base floor mobs, pretty much everything died like that. Nena was begining to think the level balancing system was a little off from the players having spent so much time on each floor, but that was a theory for another time. Now, she had loot to go over. Not much at all, really. Some daggers, a cleaver, helmet and gauntlets. It might make her some trinket once broken down, or she could refine it into something worth a dam, but she'd barely get enough to make some daggers out of what she got.
So, after a brief check of her own inventory to confirm multiple health crystals and some teleport crystals - and a couple of firebombs apparently, she had forgot she got them, but they were a reward from that alchemist for gathering some mateirals for him - she headed to the second floor, where she saw monsters and an iron node. Her mining wasn't very high, so there wasn't much chance of getting anything good of it, so she turned to the skeletons that were the skeletons. They looked to have patrolling code, and aggro ranges, which meant that a rapid melee strike followed by a ranged attack would be best at reducing their numbers.
"Archer guy, nock an arrow, and hit the guy I punch in the face, if we take him out before he can retreat, it'll be one less monster we have to contend with at the bridge" She said, before crouching low, and waiting for the icon to appear on her HUD, indicating her Foxes Whispering Forestt skill had been activated. With that, her speed was increased dramatically, and she shot forward, activiating a second Sword Art while in flight, her Bull's Goring Horns, a great synergy between the two.
With the stack of damage buffs she was currently riding, it wouldn't be impossible for the skeleton to blow up in one, but she wanted to make sure the Archer guy was ready in case it got knocked down to the red rather than dying outright. | The things with terrible Awesome names are self-crafted.

49,806 | 1,340 | 35 | 653 | 1,095 | BlackRabbit didn't hasitate to move as he noticed that Leno got into a rather uncomfortable situation. He drew his rapier as he sprinted past Nena, charging at the skeleton from behind. His weapon shimmered slightly as he activated his 'Daring Thrust' sword skill. As it was fully charged he lunged forward to close the distance between him and the skeleton and pierced right through it.
With the skeleton being weaked already the guaranteed critical hit was more than enough to finish it off. After the skeleton disappeared he sheathed his rapier. Thankfully this was one of the weaker mobs. BlackRabbit looked at Leno and gave him a thumbs up with a confident smile on his face "Don't worry, Black Rabbit got your back!" | Username: BlackRabbit

49,807 | 1,340 | 36 | 2,777 | 4,127 | Both skeletons shattered in a shower of rainbow sparks, but the pieces littered the floor. No loot had been awarded as the vivid colors turned a dull grey. The room was clear of patrols and continued on into the walkways. Dozens of them now, swinging with an eerie creak. 5 skeletons armed with bows stood one after the other along the upper ridge, a walkway of stone overlooking the area. Another skeleton armed with heavy armor and a zweihander stood guard at the single doorway leading to the exit or floor 3. Unlike the others, this creature saw the group enter and rushed forward. If they weren't careful, this creature would cut the bridges and have them all fall to the deaths.
As the armored skeletons went on the assault, navigating the bridges with easy despite the rocking, two other skeletons with daggers and molded leather armor climbed over the nearest railing behind the ground and began to attack the archer, buying time for the armored skeleton to advance further with every second.
The archers had not yet seen the party. | First spot reserved |
49,808 | 1,340 | 37 | 653 | 1,095 | Nena took in the situation as the skeletons were dispatched, and when she was done, decided she was the leader of this little guild, and started to give the orders.
"Rabbit! Go help Shiro with the skeletons, I'll hold off the big guy!" she exclaimed, moving forward to the bridge as she did so, and making it impossible for the skeleton to proceed without first going through Nena, and she intended to make going through her a difficult task indeed. Trusting her party members to follow her orders - and really, there was no reason they wouldn't, the command was stratigically sound after all - she began to prepare for the skeleton's arrival. His armour would negate one of her damage skills, since it specified unarmoured, rather than armoured, but she was confident she could take this creature. From the looks of him, it'd be high health, high damage, a tank skelly.
Nena's next move put her in the hands of her party members, as she adopted the form for her Wolf Swallows Moon sword art, to prepare for the impact of the big guy. | Username: BlackRabbit

49,809 | 1,340 | 38 | 2,788 | 1,592 | Leno returned a smile as Rabbit saved him. He turned to see the rest of the skeletons but before he could even ask about their strategy Nena was giving orders and charging off again.
Leno whirled around when Rabbit saved him yet again, he had to make a quick decision. Hope Rabbit could at least fend off the two skeletons and go for the archers, perhaps even help Nena with the armored one, or leave Nena on her own, hopefully not getting spotted by the archers during her fight with the greatsword wielding skeleton and finish off the skeletons with Blackrabbit.
opting for the latter he turned around and nocked and arrow, trying to stay behind Rabbit while lining up shots where he could. | The things with terrible Awesome names are self-crafted.

49,810 | 1,340 | 39 | 2,777 | 4,127 | The armored skeleton wailed a haunting scream as it crossed the distance to its targets, locking onto Nena as the closest threat. Bringing its greatsword into the air the skeleton brought the weapon down in a titanic arc aimed at the smaller foxgirl, the blade began to glow as it gained speed. The creatures attack was uncommon from such enemies and if it connected would likely deal a tremendous amount of damage. Few creatures had displayed the ability to perform a sword skill, those that could were often used as warnings to other players new to the area or the foe. Dodging the sword skill was the only way to prevent its damage.
Both skeletons pushed the advantage of the solitary fighter, alternating between fast swipes and thrusts and flanking the swordsman as his back attention was focused on the other opponent. The result was very few offensive opportunities, while any attack that connected from his opponents resulted in a stacking, though minor, bleed debuff. A few swipes would be negligible but if they applied too many it would be difficult to keep his health bar above the yellow for any period of time.
The saving grace came with the twang of a bow. () The arrow hit a knife wielding skeleton in the side of the skull, shattering the creature into glittering shards as it fell over the side of the railing. The remaining skeleton turned its attention from Black rabbit and made a full sprint at the archer, seemingly determined to cut him down.
It wasn't until it was within striking distance that the trap was sprung.
The two skeletons who had shattered into gray shards at the entrance came running from the entrance the group at come in from, both brandishing their rusted weapons. Caught between the iron dagger wielding foe and the surprise ambush, it seemed the archer was about to be in a desperate fight or flight.
It seemed like the only available options were to make a leap to another walkway, dodge the knife wielding skeleton, or collapse the bridge. | First spot reserved |
49,811 | 1,340 | 40 | 653 | 1,095 | Nenatalev watched the giant creature charge, and couldn't mov,e her sword skill locking her position. It was rare to find something that could use a Sword Skill, and all she could do was stand here and hope, she'd probably be in the red if she got hit by that, with her armour off-level and her defence never that great. The blade connected, and nena could see the little guage that told her the threshhold for breaking shoot up, passing fifty percent with ease. She began to sweat when it got to eighty, and actively panic when it hit ninty. Maybe this was a bad idea. Fortunately, the gods were in, and it slowed to a stop on ninety eight percent. Being - as a friend of hers would say - a raggy little git, she activated her second Sword Skill, Snake Ensnares Earth, reflecting his own Sword Skill back at him, along with her own copious attack power. By herself, she'd neer hope to take it out in any quick fashion, but the skeleton had offered a helping hand, or helping sword.
Being locked up in her own little world, she didn't notice what was going on behind her, but they could handle a few mook mobs while she took on the big guy, no? | Username: BlackRabbit

Floor 4 - Angel's Rest - Lvl 26
A warm breeze swept through the town as people hustled and bustled through the streets, talking and laughing as they explored the still fairly-new town of Angel's Rest. She looked down into the crowds from her perch on the top of a hill just outside of town, smiling fairly as the golden rays of the sun rested on her cheeks. The fourth floor... Finally! It had taken them awhile to make even this much progress, and though she was a bit dismayed at how much effort it had taken, she allowed herself a moment of peace to bask in their new accomplishment. The World Walkers are keeping a steady pace behind the frontrunners. Good. Like this, we'll be able to provide for everyone. And we have the resources...
Over the past few weeks, they had made quite a few connections with vendors and suppliers and the like popping out of the game. Many players had begun to take their businesses seriously as they finally sunk into the reality of the situation. Cinera was still secretly frightened, herself, but a newfound confidence had taken hold of her the more they progressed through the game. They had a couple close calls, but ultimately they had been able to protect everyone in their guild. Delcastle was busier than ever, but Cinera was proud to be part of his team, helping to bring support to the players who needed it. More than anything, he seemed to rely on her more, which made her very happy. A slight crimson appeared on her cheeks as she thought about him, and a pang touched her heart.
I... I need to get back to work. Swiftly, she ran and leapt from the top of the hill, sliding down the side of it on the soles of her shoes. Her orange, tangled hair whipped in the wind behind her as she moved toward the town. Her task today was to check in with the shop owners of the new area, as many of them were new merchants deciding to open up here, permanently. This was a good time to start up networking, to keep bonds between here and the upper floors as they progressed. Some players had already given up on advancing, but they wanted to keep them informed as they moved further into the game. Even more so, the resources from lower floors might differ from those above, so certain items may only be able to be created down here - they needed to have access to all types of items, in case they were needed to progress.
Cinera had returned to town in a flash, now calmly walking into the crowd of people in the streets. Their guild mates were all accomplishing their own feats, but she couldn't help to wonder what had happened to those old men, or the girl with the eyepatch and their team. After completing that quest, they seemed to practically vanished. The oldest gentleman was a guild leader, right? She couldn't help but to think about them in this crucial time, after yet another large achievement. As well as the young man with the jackal, or his friend. But of course, her mind drifted back Delcastle and the task at hand. I'll have to find some time to explore, tonight... | Here it is! I hope I did it right...? ^^"

Far above the once military fortress of the UNSC, the Blade’s Edge, a UNSC Epoch-class Carrier that has recently been enlisted by ONI: SECTION III after receiving a distress call from Horizon, a small colony on the edge of UNSC space. With confirmation of Forerunner technology present, ONI has begun the preparations for a containment investigation.
Across the scared hull of the ship, pelicans and cargo-ships skim the edge and begin to make their way into the hanger bay where hundreds of troopers, all with standard issue armour race from one end of the hanger to the other as warthogs, mammoths and even mantises are loaded into their locking bays, ready for quick assault on hostile territory. Overseeing the entire operation was SPARTAN-W114, or rather known by most as Gravedigger. Standing there with his hands on his hips, he awaits Avalon to inform him that those specially chosen return from shore leave and meet him in the CIC. | Name: William ‘Gravedigger’ Knight

Vanessa stood up making her way over towards the small view port there was Reach below her, her home she grew up in after the Covenant came and attacked Arcadia the first time though she didn't remember since she was an infant back then. Just as the pelican had touched down in the hangar of the Blade's Edge, Vanessa was the first to get off of the pelican then a few marines and other technicians got out as well.

49,817 | 1,341 | 2 | 1,104 | 675 | Attention on deck!
It was only a moment or so after the colonel stepped off that a nearby trooper snapped to attention and offered a proper salute, soon after those around him followed suit in a similar manner. With a dismissive wave of his hand Colonel Morrel returned the action in turn, highly polished boots clicking against the cold, metallic floor of the ship's interior.
The colonel had always hated space travel. From the feel of zero-g pelican flight to the sick sensation one got when they realized that outside these metallic walls there was nothing offering protection from the vast expanse of limitless death, the Colonel had learned that space flight was and always would be a hazardous business. It was a few moments after the colonel stepped off that his staff followed suit, ten in total, these professional soldiers and intel specialists immediately returned to their previous actions: bombarding him with questions about the upcoming missions and the ships overall readiness.
Having been put in nominal command of the operation Morrel was obliged to answer a fair number of their concerns, though he was always wary to separate possibly restricted information such as their destination and total offensive capabilities. Indeed, most of these staff officers who were ONI themselves were not even aware that there were SPARTANS on board.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The walk to the CIC passed quickly as the colonel's aids one by one dropped away to resume their jobs at various points throughout the ship. Coming to a halt outside the CIC main hatchway the colonel's boots again came together in a smart manner, clicking softly as the doors slide open to allow him passage inside. "Avalon, status update.

As the Colonel spoke, a red, silhouette of a man materialised on top of the planning board. Besides the obvious male features, the A.I was completely blank.
“Greetings Colonel, Horizon Colony Command is still unresponsive from their emergency broadcast that we had received. 97% of crew and equipment have been checked in. We are to depart in seven hours and thirty –two minutes.” Avalon explained, his voice surprisingly human; almost like a young male student.
Knight walked in soon after Avalon had finished his explanation, surprised to see the Colonel, Knight was taken aback a bit and gave a quick salute before heading over to his post near the command console so he could explain to the rest of the newly formed Fireteam Quantum what their purpose and objective were.
“Sir, am I to assume that you’ll boots will be touching land during the mission?” Knight asked, his voice brisk but not without respect. | Name: William ‘Gravedigger’ Knight

Colonel Morrel returned the spartan's salute casually and without looking away from the view panel the ship's AI was presenting him. "That's correct Spartan Gravedigger, I'll be stepping off with the rest of the team." Finishing up his work at the panel the colonel closed it with a few shift keystrokes, finally turning to face his companion in full.
What was immediately apparent to any on-looker was not only the age difference between the armored behemoth and the unmodified human, but also their size. Despite Morrel's imposing rank Gravedigger all but towered over him, forcing the good colonel to look upwards when he spoke. "My first command as OIC is that we drop the salutes, formality from here on out is a potential risk. I trust you to lead your team, I'll just be observing for the most part." The colonel's gruff voice held a strong air of authority and seemed to brook no argument: this was the way things were going to be.
"Now, Spartan Gravedigger, assemble your team and prepare for land-based operations as per Avalon's orders. We should be departing shortly and it's likely we won't have much time to act after arrival." | Name: Colonel Alexander Morrel

49,820 | 1,341 | 5 | 1,347 | 749 | "As you wish, sir." Knight replied. Although he wasn't 100% happy that the Colonel was on-board, it did mean that something larger was afoot. And with Avalon working of a Blacklist closed network, he would have to actually be present during the mission.
"The Fireteam has already been called and should, with a bit of luck be on it's way." Knight explained as he called up Avalon who, once again materialised, but this time as a human sized figure who stood next to Knight. "How's Sparky holding up?" He asked. However, Avalon seemed a bit annoyed with the subject in question.
Avalon placed his hands on his virtual hips and shook his head. "He's bloody going round changing everything, he thinks he knows it all. Just a few hours ago he tried to upgrade one of the deck guns with some foreign material." Avalon remarked in an angry manner. But Knight just chuckled. "He's just trying to help, it's a new environment for him, plus he'll be needed for the mission, and he gives Adam company in the lab." | Name: William ‘Gravedigger’ Knight

49,821 | 1,341 | 6 | 832 | 3,727 | Mulgrew huffed to himself as he approached the CIC, a bit late compared to everyone else if he didn't miss his guess. But that was hardly his fault, or so he would like to think. It wasn't as if he had been responsible for the obvious favoritism that had taken over the UNSC defense forces, favoring the Marines over the Army. Sure, the Marines had greater tactical flexibility, and general quality, but that didn't mean the Army was any less deserving. But it seemed that the politicians didn't agree.
Still, he tried to not let things like that cloud his view, especially as he prepared to take part in this operation. It would be a nice change from dodging snipers and dealing with Insurrectionist IED's, now wouldn't it? And he supposed that was the best he could ask for, in the era after the Human-Covenant War.
The halls were bustling with activity, the ship preparing to get on the move for this mission even with the covert nature of it. It just meant that there wasn't any idle chit chat from those passing by, focused on their jobs as they were. A pity, but he'd survive. He was here after all.
He made his way in at a brisk walk, entering the room before saluting. "Thomas Mulgrew, reporting for duty sir," he said firmly, as he had been trained to do. ONI spooks gave him the creeps, and he noted the Spartans, but maintained his composure. If nothing else, he would show them what the Army could do. | Name: Thomas Mulgrew

Turning to clasp his hands behind his back the staff officer once again observed the CIC and was pleased to note that most of the team had assembled as per his request. There were only a few stragglers who had yet to report in.
"Spartan Gravedigger I believe it's about time we got this briefing underway. The sooner the information is dispersed the sooner your men can start selecting their mission tailored load outs." The colonel's words had the subtle effect of putting Knight in charge, leaving the details of the mission explanation and squad organization to him. It was a delicate delegation of the colonel's power and not something he did lightly.

Knight stated as he begun swiping keys across the console until a holographic projection of a planet displayed in the centre of the room.
"Horizon, ladies and gentleman. A very remote colony that sparked the interest of many scientists and aerologists due to it's abundance of Forerunner technology. However a few days ago the colony reported it's biggest ever discovery. An instillation that is almost a perfect match to the Portal Structure in New Mombasa on Earth. However shortly after reporting its discovery the colony referred to the installation as 'Pandora's Box then the colony went dark. That means we lucky few are, for now on a recon mission. We are to go to Horizon and check out what the hell is going on. Once we've established the depth of the situation, we are to investigate this... Pandora's Box and find out its true nature, which our engineer and Forerunner expert, Sparky will help us with. Any questions?" | Name: William ‘Gravedigger’ Knight

Soon a smaller version of him would reappear on top of the planning board. Within moments the blast visors closed around all the windows, sealing off the view of the planet below. This meant that they would soon be spinning up the FTL drive.
“Sir, we will be using the ONI Slip-Gate. I estimate that the time to get to Horizon will be roughly twelve hours. That’s of course if we don’t get ripped to pieces with the new, untested technology first.”
Soon, the engines of the Blade’s Edge hummed their mechanical song of ignition and the vessel slowly began to pull away from Heaven’s Gate and drifted towards a small, semi-circle structure that was guarded by a vast amount of warships.
“Reporting that all crew and cargo are checked in. Slip-space jump authorisation confirmed. Beginning jump in 3…2…1…MARK!” Avalon announced and as he did so the structure lit up with a cracking lighting effect and the Blade’s Edge was travelling through the vast stream of space.

"I see," he replied succinctly, leaving his true feelings unsaid. But there could certainly be something said about the AI not being able to take a nap, or something.
His eyes widened slightly then as he looked over to see a Spartan entering the room, the Corporal still somewhat awed to be here with them. That could hardly be his fault though, given the near mythical status that had been built up about the Spartans during the war. Anyone else without significant contact with them would act the same way.
But there was no more time to dwell on that as the meeting began, and he listened quietly as the plan was explained, before they hit some sort of....'Slip-gate', and were on their way. Well then ONI certainly didn't waste their time, did they? Still, it didn't seem too bad he supposed. Certainly it was a step up from fighting the Innies.
"So what do we do now sir," he asked at that point, now that they were underway. If they had twelve hours to kill, then there was certainly plenty of time to be prepared. | Name: Thomas Mulgrew

The colonel uttered this succinct statement and was rather quickly moving to exit the command room. Although his main priority was indeed ONI's little pet op he did have the entire rest of the ship to run in the mean time.
After exiting the CIC colonel Morrel moved to the staff command room, an adjacent area filled with all manner of view screens and busily bustling officers of all kinds. Brass here ranged from lieutenant all the way up to lieutenant colonel as the various S-shops did their duties. After taking a seat near the back of the room in his command chair the first thing on the list was receiving status reports from the various officers who ran the ship. Most of the stuff was just part of the daily grind of his job, though a couple notables appeared and were resolved with his authority.
As the ship's AI Avalon was practically attached at the hip to Morrel, being given personal access to all files the colonel received. For the most part strong-boxed AI's like Avalon could be trusted with top-level military secrets, especially since this one was classed under ONI's command. Functionally, Avalon was an extension of the colonel's will and because of their collaboration the ship ran that much smoother.

Knight, dismissing the rest of Fireteam Quantum mentioned to Avalon, and the rest of the crew that he would be making his way to the research lab. The doors whipped open and Knight departed.
Traveling through the metallic corridor, Knight's immediate destination was the inboard monorail that would take him to the lab on the bottom deck.
As the doors of the lab opened, an entirely new world of chaos was awaiting inside. Knight carefully sidestepped down a few steps and examined the mess of tools and devices, of who's origin were yet to be determined.
"ADAM?!" William called out, taking his helmet off in the process and placing it down of a table which only had a small free space on it.
There was a ruffle of papers followed by a quite, insecure voice that had been caught off guard.
"Ah, there you are brother! Come, come. Take a look at this!" Adam called out, straightening his glasses and lab coat.
Reluctantly, William moved up towards the small office in which his brother, who was no doubly sleeping from a long, overnight shift.
"Here, take a look at this!" Adam cried out again, pointing towards an odd object that slept on Adam's desk.
William looked down at the object, clearly it was of Forerunner in nature, William couldn't saw much more than that.
"What is it?" He asked, almost scarred to what the answer may result in.
"It's a key of some kind!" Adam replied eccentrically, waving his arms rampantly. "Sparkly was able to repair it!"
William place a hand on his face.
"You need to get out more, Adam." William remarked, but his attention more focused at searching the ceiling above. "Sparky, you can come down from there." William called out.
At first, it would have seemed that William was just calling out into thin air, but after a second or so there was a low, extended cooing sound followed by soft crackling sounds.
After a moment a Huragok descended and floated towards William, tentacles waving in excitement. William patted it on the head with a smile.

Her hand had instinctively gone to the magnum clipped to her thigh when the alarms sounded off and it continued to rest there. After hearing Avalon's announcement, she pulled on her helmet and Iris pulled up the standard HUD on her visor, guiding her through the fastest route to the command room. Several ONI staff gave her interesting looks as she jogged by. "Lieutenant Edwards, you are not fully combat ready. I advise that--" Iris was interrupted by a somewhat irritated Spartan "We're not going into battle Iris, relax."
Angel walked up to the hangar, approaching the door and pressing the button for verification "Edwards, Dominique. Spartan #144 requesting access." The door opened in response and Angel walked in, looking for either the Colonel or this so called Spartan Gravedigger who was in command of the operation. "Iris, systems check." she quickly muttered to the AI, who responded by beginning standard system diagnostics, confirming that each system was completely functional and combat ready. She leaned over the railing, watching as marines prepped various vehicles and waited for any sort of notification as to where her team leader may be.

49,836 | 1,341 | 21 | 1,104 | 675 | Before the ships exit from slipstream space colonel Morrel had moved from his position in the staff room up towards the bridge, relieving the current helmsman to take personal command of the vessel. Despite his anxieties towards space flight and, by extension, space combat he was none-the-less an extremely capable space commander. As soon as the marathon-class heavy cruiser decelerated from FTL speeds the allied battlenet came alive with multiple enemy IFF tags. "Colonel there are multiple covenant ships surrounding the planet." Morrel nodded his response, tone hardened as he gave his next order. "Sound general quarters."
Instantly the lights onboard the ship dimmed, skipping from their usual whites and yellows to dim red in non-essential areas. A warning claxon bellowed throughout the ship, alerting those still in their bunks to the imminent danger. "Attention all crew, prepare for battle stations, several Covenant CSS battle cruisers have been detected. Report to team leaders for further orders. I repeat, general quarters has been sounded." The ships itself became a bed of controlled chaos as crewman rushed to get themselves fitted and moved to their assigned duty stations. It would take a minute or so before the ship was full defensible but until then Morrel fully expected Avalon to be running defense.
"Colonel we're getting a hail from the covenant battlenet, it looks like they might want to talk." "Negative, kill all external comms. There's to be no evidence this ship ever came here. Our relations with the Sangheili are stressed enough without us killing another hundred thousand of them, even if they are 'heretics'." Leaning forward to view the three-dimensional projection of Horizon's battlespace on the display before him Morrel lifted a single hand. "Target their two frigates for MAC shots." The covenant frigate was small enough that a single MAC from a ship as large as the Blade's Edge would probably gut it bow to stern. Unfortunately they were likely to have less luck with the heavier cruisers, best to get the small fry out of the way early.

"Avalon, who authorised those MACs?" Knight demanded as he rushed out the lab and onto the bridge to witness the two Battle Cruisers float helplessly in the space that surrounded them. Avalon appeared on the bridge in full size.
"Sir, the Col-" Avalon began to answer but Knight looked sharply at Avalon who stopped his explanation. Knight then turned back to the inferno with a confused gaze. A single MAC would have done that sort of damage if the shielding was engaged, nor are they in glassing position, so why were the shields deactive?
"Avalon, what's going on here?" Knight asked, hi voice reared with anger.
"Upon coming out of slipspace, these cruisers were detected, however, while I could detect lifeforms on board, the entire vessels systems were off line, a distress call was transmitted to us but the Colonel ordered their destruction." Avalon explained.
"So in short, we murdered a few thousand?" Knight sighed but then his interest perked up. "But what caused their entire ship to be knocked out without any external damage." | Name: William ‘Gravedigger’ Knight

"This is Captain Matthews, sir should I be getting ready to launch down here?" Asked the Spartan as he paused, the monitor showed Covenant ships, out here? That was strange.
This required more than just a call. So the Spartan quickly jogged up to the bridge. He snapped a quick salute. "Captain Matthews, Spartan, pilot, and alien relations specialist.

Eventually ONI selected him for a team sent in to retrieve a missing Sabre.
During the invasion of Earth he was present on Mars arriving along with hundreds of fresh reinforcement with help push the Covenant back letting MAC guns from the ground open fire. Victory on Mars was mostly due to the Covenants full concentration on Earth.
He stayed with ONI for years working with Spartan fire team Knight as a science officer, while not an expert his college major was in alien archaeology. He is able read and speak some of the Covenants language.
After this and a few other select missions Matthews was picked up by Palmer and removed from ONI to join the Spartans. His Fire team was split up to mentor younger Spartans teams. ONI contacted him offering to give him a chance to fly to again and to serve with other Spartans.

I'm going to have Spartan Gravedigger prepare and lead a drop onto the planet surface while I coordinate things up here. Once you've established a foothold I'll follow on later."
Interesting the colonel mentioned nothing about the circumstances of the MAC shots, the ship's combat status, or if they were even actively engaged. Although the bridge crew was currently scrambling between view screens and panels it didn't seem that the ship was currently in any danger, why the rush? "Gravedigger if you'll take it from here."

Walking into the centre of the room, a full display of the planet was projected indicating how far away the Blade's Edge was from Horizon and indicators show an estimate of twelve Covenant ships, all in active along with the UNSC Space Station in Orbit. No external damage can be detected.
"Now, as for the MACs that were fired without my authorisation is questionable, however it did help us discover a very important factor about the mission that could have resulted in the loss of crew." Knight explained, taking a small pause for those in the room to consider what he meant before explaining. The display then zoomed in to a live feed of the planet, which at first glance seemed normal, however as debris from the cruisers hit a certain point they were being pushed back by some type of field.
"There seems to be some kind of protective barrier currently protecting the planet. So Avalon has came up with a idea that has a... well I never like being told the odds on this ship. Avalon."
"Yes, while there is only a 21.74245247825782% percent chance of this working, it is by far the highest of all four thousand simulations I ran. While the shield protecting the planet tough, it doesn't run off the conventional shield system like we know and love. It's much more energy efficient one. Instead of constantly powering a shield all over the planet, a signal beacon of some kind creates a patch of energy that protects and blocks the debris." Avalon mentioned as he brought up a diagram of the Blade's Edge firing a MAC shot and a ODST pod following the shot a few metres behind it.
"Through my simulations and analysis I have came to the conclusion that lightening never strikes twice in the exact same spot twice. In theory anyway. So what we plan is the ship's main cannon will fire a shot, seconds before an ODST hits the barrier, and with any luck, the system would not be able to deploy the shield in the same place within the small time frame.

49,850 | 1,341 | 35 | 2,174 | 163 | Joshua stepped out of the pelican; he was in full armour including his helmet. After all the years he still hadn’t got used to the attention that being part of the Spartan program. He made his way to the CIC hoping that he’d catch the briefing. It seemed that he was not in luck when he realised that there was barely anyone left in there. Luckily he had read through the main briefing on the pelican ride to the shuttle. He went to his quarters and through his clothes down into the room, he called up the ship AI and asked about the journey, it was a 12 hour trip it would take him some time by the looks of things. He found he could never sleep during slip space jumps it was impossible. He went down to the armour room and had his armour unattached, it had been a while since it had been removed but it felt good to finally have it off. He made his way down to mess hall in a cap as he always did, hiding his scarring. He sat alone on a table reading through carnage reports of recent battles.
When the ship exited slipspace it didn’t take long before the ship went into alert. ‘Bloody covenant’ he thought to himself. He got up from his quarters and sprinted to the quartermaster to regain his armour, He called on the ship AI asking about the current state of the ship, and mainly what the hell was going on. Was he was suited up he made his way to the bridge to find out for himself what was going on, as he entered the bridge he received a salute and asked them to be at ease. He picked up on the conversation. "Sorry i'm late," He paused as he saluted "Spartan 029, reporting for duty sir,". He had joined just in time for the brief, "Empty pod sounds good, I'm sure we'd all agree It's better not to spend a life before we've begun." | Name: Joshua-029

Military Classification: Petty Officer Second Class
Service History:
Joshua was conscripted into the SPARTAN-II program in 2517 when he was identified by Dr. Catherine Halsey at age six as a physically and mentally exceptional child. He was brought to Reach and trained alongside the other Spartans. During the Human-Covenant war, he took part in many battles. Joshua’s key role was on reach, His fire team was ordered to take out a covenant cruiser in low orbit above reach. His team were going to use a havoc nuclear warhead to blow the cruiser inside out; they used banshees to get close to the gravity lift were they would release the warhead. The plan went well until the team realised that the nuke’s time had been damaged during flight, Joshua then volunteered to stay behind and fix the timer. As the team left to get to a safe distance Joshua flew up the lift. He reached the bomb and realised he could link it to the firing mechanism of the main plasma launcher After about half an hour of fighting he made it, and wired the nuke up, he knew it wouldn’t be long before the ship started the glassing process and so he ran to the nearest shuttle bay where he found a phantom. He then piloted it to the safe zone just making it. He landed next to the rest of his team; land hopped out just as the main cannon started to light up there was an almighty boom, as the nuke exploded within the ship. The team took the phantom back to the ship where he was commended for his bravery. After that mission he was contacted by the office of naval intelligence, he was being reassigned to a special team of lone operators who would work on eliminating or disrupting key covenant leaders.

The top of his class he went on to become an expert pilot, however his skills as a soldier were needed more and he joined the Air Assault corps. Eventually ONI selected him for a team sent in to retrieve a missing Sabre.
During the invasion of Earth he was present on Mars arriving along with hundreds of fresh reinforcement with help push the Covenant back letting MAC guns from the ground open fire. Victory on Mars was mostly due to the Covenants full concentration on Earth.
He stayed with ONI for years working with Spartan fire team Knight as a science officer, while not an expert his college major was in alien archaeology. He is able read and speak some of the Covenants language.
After this and a few other select missions Matthews was picked up by Palmer and removed from ONI to join the Spartans. His Fire team was split up to mentor younger Spartans teams. ONI contacted him offering to give him a chance to fly to again and to serve with other Spartans.

49,870 | 1,341 | 55 | 1,104 | 675 | Colonel Morrel was currently commanding the Blade's Edge to the best of his ability, issuing orders and disseminating information. When comms arrived that the Spartan team was nearly prepped for dispatch Morrel was quick to delegate his command to a senior subordinate, Lieutenant Colonel Scarborough, before heading down to the armory to equip himself. The resounding clacks of cleared weapons and rustle of secured body armor made the old infantry commander feel right at home.
Unfortunately, as he was not a Spartan, getting the good colonel into a set of powered armor would prove impossible. Instead the older man chose a simple pair of non-descript grey fatigues that had been sterilized of any UNSC logos or insignia. Indeed, the outfit without armor made him appear more like a planetary militiaman than a UNSC commander. Next came the plated body armor, then armaments to include an MA5D, a few grenades, and an M6C. Of note for the last item was the nature of its age. The M6C as a service pistol had been retired for nearly a decade, though, to the colonel it felt as right now as it did nearly twenty years ago when he took his first platoon.
With all of these things done the colonel waited for the Spartans to move to the drop area before accessing the rear of the armory. As most people knew ONI liked to keep its secrets and fail-safes. What the colonel was accessing was one of them. It took only a minute or so to confirm that the item was indeed stowed away on the drop pods as arranged, having been attached to the interior of the colonel's personally. As soon as the team set down his 'deception' would be known, though in the end these too were simply orders.
Closing down to the control panel Morrel moved towards his respective pod, getting inside and securing himself via the restraint harnesses. The automatic tighteners did their work and in an instant he was pulled flush against the pod's rear padding. At his feet the large mystery item remained inert, danger graphics and bio-hazard warnings littering its sides.

Joshua’s key role was on reach, His fire team was ordered to take out a covenant cruiser in low orbit above reach. His team were going to use a havoc nuclear warhead to blow the cruiser inside out; they used banshees to get close to the gravity lift were they would release the warhead. The plan went well until the team realised that the nuke’s time had been damaged during flight, Joshua then volunteered to stay behind and fix the timer. As the team left to get to a safe distance Joshua flew up the lift. He reached the bomb and realised he could link it to the firing mechanism of the main plasma launcher After about half an hour of fighting he made it, and wired the nuke up, he knew it wouldn’t be long before the ship started the glassing process and so he ran to the nearest shuttle bay where he found a phantom. He then piloted it to the safe zone just making it. He landed next to the rest of his team; land hopped out just as the main cannon started to light up there was an almighty boom, as the nuke exploded within the ship. The team took the phantom back to the ship where he was commended for his bravery. After that mission he was contacted by the office of naval intelligence, he was being reassigned to a special team of lone operators who would work on eliminating or disrupting key covenant leaders.

"Head up people, our target is the ONI Research Facility in New Li'maria. there are large, open plains that will be our best chance of safely landing. Bonus points if you hit a Moa." Knight broadcasted.
With his speech over, a small countdown begun from five. And once Zero flashed across the board, the pods were dropped. There was a bit of a knock as the Pod left the artificial gravity of the Blade's Edge and a slight graceful emptiness as the pods glided through empty space. The pods were in a perfectly even formation. It was almost peaceful. That was until several MAC shots skimmed past their pods and Avalon taking remote control over their flight computer so they were literally chasing the shell.

After three attempted communications with the Blade's Edge and no response, Angel assumed they would not have comms with command until some sort of radio way-station was set up.

She looked out the tiny window of her pod, now able to see landscape forms and noticed she was still somewhat on course, whatever that meant.

49,881 | 1,341 | 66 | 1,104 | 675 | Just as the good colonel finished strapping himself in the sensation of the pod's release hit him at full force, his stomach nearly turning inside out. That brief instant of weightlessness before the fall was always the worst and the human closed his eyes against it, muscles tightening as the unfamiliar feeling of tension rushed through his every muscle. The magnetic clamps disengaged and the pod dropped abruptly, dropping the officer and all his disorientation into the atmosphere.
It was a good minute or so from drop to landing and as his pod penetrated the barrier Morrel shuddered at the sensation. No matter how many drops one engaged in it was always the same, you never quite got used to how brutal pod travel was. But just as the ordeal began it was already over. Orbital drops were swift, especially since one was riding in a massive metal crate which accelerated past terminal velocity nigh-instantaneously. As the ground neared the main chute and counter-thrusters activated and again the colonel felt the abuse. The experience was like being in a head-on collusion going three times the speed limit. The interior of the pod lurched against its boltings and the package at the colonel's feet nearly came loose. Hitting the ground was even worse and by the time the restraints disengaged Morrel was seriously wondering if he'd broken anything.
Miraculously the pod's door engaged and with a loud 'hiss' the metal tub opened, ejecting its occupant forward and onto his knees. Morrel stayed there only a second as his mind re-oriented itself to the feeling of level ground and proper gravity. As soon as he was on his feet the colonel secured his weapons from the pod and sent out a all-comm to the team. "Fire team quantum this is colonel Morrel. I've made landfall. I want all of you to form up on my pod as soon as you're able, I've got a little something for the team to take care of." Cutting the transmission the colonel turned to look back at the pod, eyes narrowing as they finally came to rest upon the mystery item. Staring back at the officer with the same lifeless stare was the shell of a HAVOK tactical nuke, ONI's little insurance policy.

"This is joshua reporting in, drop status is green, proceeding to move on to Spartan 144's position now." He popped the casing of his pod and dropped out from the 15ft high tree. He set Angel's pod as a way point and made his way there, He turned on the light on his DMR and made his way to her pod, He was about 1km out from her position. He couldn't see far so he kept on his feet having no clue what could jump out around him. He made his way to her pod without any trouble, "spartan 144 this is Joshua, I'm going to roll your pod over, Stay still, so the door doesn't blow off." with a heave he rolled the pod onto it's back. Upon righting the pod he tried opening the pod door. It tried to fire open but the pistons wouldn't fire. The pod door was damaged beyond relief there was no way it was coming off without some force against it.

Their relationship was meant to be complimentary, not caustic, the officer handling the overall tactical objective, leading and commanding, while the NCO took care of the execution and led the troops in battle. For the moment the relationship between the two, human and Spartan, was holding, though how much longer this strained interaction could last was questionable.
"Good to see you Spartan." Morrel greeted knight as he approached, wasting little time in directing the Spartan towards their surprise package. "It wasn't my choice to bring it along but I agree with the ONI higher-ups. This is something that couldn't be mentioned in the briefing but if this facility falls into enemy hands we're to enact Cole Protocol as is regulation. I'm sure to understand what that means." Even though the Sangheili and most other covenant races knew the location of Earth it didn't mean the UNSC was allowing itself to become an open book. Secret facilities were secret for a reason.

Service History:
Joshua was conscripted into the SPARTAN-II program in 2517 when he was identified by Dr. Catherine Halsey at age six as a physically and mentally exceptional child. He was brought to Reach and trained alongside the other Spartans. During the Human-Covenant war, he took part in many battles. Joshua’s key role was on reach, His fire team was ordered to take out a covenant cruiser in low orbit above reach. His team were going to use a havoc nuclear warhead to blow the cruiser inside out; they used banshees to get close to the gravity lift were they would release the warhead. The plan went well until the team realised that the nuke’s time had been damaged during flight, Joshua then volunteered to stay behind and fix the timer. As the team left to get to a safe distance Joshua flew up the lift. He reached the bomb and realised he could link it to the firing mechanism of the main plasma launcher After about half an hour of fighting he made it, and wired the nuke up, he knew it wouldn’t be long before the ship started the glassing process and so he ran to the nearest shuttle bay where he found a phantom. He then piloted it to the safe zone just making it. He landed next to the rest of his team; land hopped out just as the main cannon started to light up there was an almighty boom, as the nuke exploded within the ship. The team took the phantom back to the ship where he was commended for his bravery. After that mission he was contacted by the office of naval intelligence, he was being reassigned to a special team of lone operators who would work on eliminating or disrupting key covenant leaders.

Angel mumbled to Iris quietly before looking back to the drop pod "Spartan Jones this is Angel, I am at your position and I'm about to move the pod. Stay where you are. Out."
The pod groaned and screeched as she rolled it slowly onto its back, the door now facing upwards. Angel unclipped her Magnum from her hip, pistol whipping the manual release to unjam it, then yanking the door off as it released. She looked down into the pod at Jones, a small smirk growing under her helmet "Wakey wakey, no time for napping." She laughed and offered her hand to Jones. | Name: Dominique Edwards

Gesturing his fingers to the North-East and began the seven mile hike to the facility. Along the way there was no signs of human or alien activity at all, even for a remote location.
Eventually they arrived at the shore line in which a single bridge connected the ONI Research facility to the main land.

Joshua moved on with the squad after the quick briefing by knight. The walk wasn’t too long but it seemed that the rain wasn’t going to let up. It felt strange. Somewhere sent a distress call but upon investigation there were no signs of distress. That was until they reached the research facility. There were signs of blood yet no signs of bodies. He raised is rifle and moved around towards the bridge. Once in the main courtyard Joshua needed to ask knight, “’Sir, what kind of things do they research here, I’d rather not walk into a room full of volatile micro-organisms.” he moved to examine some of the blood on the ground, it wasn’t fresh and it seemed human, the consistency suggested 2 or 3 days but there was no way to be sure.

It wasn't uncommon for her to be quiet, however considering the circumstances it may have been a tad unnerving for the rest of the squad. The weight of the rifle on her back was enough to make the walk feel even longer than it was, but not nearly enough to tire her out significantly. She gripped the pistol firmly, scanning their surroundings for any movement, keeping an eye on the motion detector in the upper right hand corner of her HUD.
As they crested the hill that would put the ONI facility into view, Iris chimed up with a rather grim message for the current situation, sound a bit too happy to see the building in such a state "Welcome to ONI Research Facility: Horizon Lieutenant."
Angel scanned the facility for movement or other signs of life from 200m back down the scope of her rifle, waving the all clear to the rest of the squad "No movement, we're clear to move in."

49,899 | 1,342 | 0 | 1,583 | 2,197 | Today was Tuesday -- the second Tuesday in Summer, in fact -- and what a beautiful Tuesday it was. White puffy clouds scudded softly across the blue sky like cottony tortoises floating on their backs. Sunlight gleamed and twinkled on the gold and blue gilding of the village clock tower, which ticked and tocked and bonged nine times for the morning.
The wide open village square was full of wooden carts with baskets of unusually bright fruits, and bunches of flowers, and fresh-caught fish, and polished trinkets from the far end of the Long Road. A gaggle of children ran laughing through the square trailing a long-tailed kite in the sky above them, happily disturbing the customers of the Glass Key Cafe, who sat outside at little tables with their blueberry pancakes and apricot tea.
The mayor, this morning, was doing just that. Mayor Thistlecatch poured strawberry syrup on her pancakes and ate while she listened to the Pooths' latest security report.
The Pooths stood on the mayor's little wooden table in the square, huddled together and jabbering, while Boo Pooth cleared his throat. "Miss Agatha's feline companion was reported missing at five o-eight in the evening yesterday," Boo recited. "At five-fifteen we split up and commenced a search of the village for signs of Miss Agatha's feline companion. At ten-forty we reconvened and declared Miss Agatha's feline companion to have gone missing without a trace."
"That's the fourth one since last week," the mayor mused, and she took a thoughtful bite of blueberry pancake. "Has there been any activity at the watchmaker's shop?"
"No movement has been sighted or reported since Mister Skilton was last seen at the Glass Key Cafe on Sunday last week at eight o-five in the evening according to Miss Lark." Boo stood straight and solemn before his siblings, who tittered and fidgeted behind him.
"Well, keep an eye on the shop for me, will you? Thank you for the update." The mayor bowed her head with a smile, and the Pooths saluted her and clambered their way off the table, their little bells jingling.
Mayor Thistlecatch opened to the last page of her sketchbook and resumed work on her drawing of the clock tower. The days were clear and peaceful -- and if the only problems plaguing the village lay in missing cats and a reclusive watchmaker, there was little for the mayor to do but to watch and to listen to the hum of the village. | art by Geoffrey Renault
Characters
Mayor Rune Thistlecatch
art by Lena Richards
The Thistlecatches have passed down the title of Mayor of Winding for generations. They are a proud and well-respected family whose ancestry reaches back to the the kings and queens of the time of giants. There is a legend that the Thistlecatches of old had been dragon-tamers, and so their family crest is a dragon wound around a thistle flower.
Rune Thistlecatch has occupied the role of Mayor of Winding since her father, Ambrose Thistlecatch, disappeared in the marsh six months ago. She takes her position very seriously, and is known to be a firm and honest voice among the village council.
At fourteen, she is the second-youngest Mayor of Winding (the first being her great-great-grandfather, Thimble Thistlecatch, who became mayor at the age of eight) and one of the most competent.
The Pooths
art by Robert Kondo
The Pooth siblings are known throughout the village as a collective; they are very rarely seen apart from one another, and so are usually only referred to as the Pooths. Their names are Roo, Loo, Moo, Soo, Boo and Woo Pooth.
The Pooths are very small and easily stepped on, so they carry little bells on their heads that tinkle when they walk. Roo, Loo, Moo, Soo and Woo don't speak much except for small jabberings that seem unintelligible to most folks, but they let Boo speak articulately on their behalf. His is the loudest voice, after all.
They live in a tree outside the watchmaker's shop, where they are employed with watching for thieves and tricky business.
Miss Agatha
art by Vyacheslav Safronov
Miss Agatha is a warm and constant presence in Winding. She is quick with a story and is a fantastic listener -- so much so that many in the village will come to her with their troubles, eager for her guidance. She is an avid reader and the most frequent patron of the village library, but she is most known for her shop, her magic, and her tea.
The Curiosity Shop is the ground floor of Miss Agatha's home, and it is filled with antiques and trinkets and otherworldly novelties brought to the village from faraway lands or dug up out of the bottomless Dragon Marsh. Each item has a unique story, which she will tell upon request. Miss Agatha's personal knowledge on matters of history, magic and cultures is known as the finest in the village, her fortune telling as hauntingly accurate, and her tea as the most exquisite ever tasted.
Of all the stories she has told, not one has ever been about herself. She arrived in Winding with a trade caravan six years ago, and that is all anyone knows. |
49,900 | 1,342 | 1 | 332 | 130 | Nich's Niche Needs stood on a fairly busy road. Any passersby would see the owner's latest creations on display in the window, along with a little placard naming the device, but offering no description as to it's purpose. Nich didn't feel such detail was necessary, though, as he thought the names spoke for themselves. After all, there were only so many things that "spring boots" could do. Nich sat in the back room with his toolbox open, tinkering on his latest contraption. He wasn't sure what it did yet, but it wound up and had some moving bits, so there was that. Most people walking by would think the shop was empty; Nich liked to keep the backroom door closed so nobody could steal his ideas, but once a customer came in...
The door opened. The top of the door pulled on a wire running along the wall of the shop and into the back room. The force of the wire sent some tiny gears in motion, and they caused an iron strip to rattle around inside a brass dome, making a loud ringing sound. In a matter of seconds, the jovial rat scurried out from the back with a bright grin on his face. "Welcome! Welcome! What brings you here on this beautiful summer day?"
The customer reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a pocket watch. "It seems to have stopped working," he said. "I wind it, but I don't hear anything. Perhaps you could take a look at it?"
Nich's entire body seemed to droop a bit upon seeing the watch. "Yes. I can look at it. I can fix it too. But, please, while I'm working, do take a look around. There are so many more interesting things than watches!"
The customer gave a cordial smile. "It certainly looks like it, but I'm afraid I'm in a bit of a hurry. May I drop the watch off and pick it up later."
Nich tried to hide his dejected sigh. "Yes. It'll be done tomorrow. Let me just take your information..." And so he filled out a ticket, and put the watch under the counter on a shelf labeled "later." The customer tipped his hat and went about his business, and then Nich shook his head, looking at the stack of five watch pickups he was expecting today. It was a strange turn of events, that watchmaker's disappearance. Nich had never considered himself a competitor with the old man. He didn't sell watches; he sold everything else. Unfortunately, with the watchmaker's shop closed, people came to him as their next resort. New customers were always good, and he couldn't complain about the boost in profits. But fixing watches every day? Bah! Where was the fun in that? | Name

Race
Humanoid Dung Beetle
Occupation
Guard
Appearance
Anzo has the characteristics of an insect, more specifically a dung beetle. Standing a little over 8 feet tall in addition to boasting a large, brawny build, this bug is a rather intimidating sight. Barely noticeable due to the onyx black color of his body, his dark eyes decorate his rather plain head. He's completely hairless and the only thing on his body that differs in color are the 3 white scarabs adorning his back. The beetle always sports a sort of natural armor in the form of his shell-like exterior. The only noticeable thing he carries around is a sack full of balls of dung, lots 'n' lots of dung balls, and the bag itself also has many holsters and pockets on the exterior for weapons plus his telescope.
Personality
He possesses perhaps the worst trait for a guard, laziness. It isn't that the bug doesn't care about the villagers, he definitely does; it is just that guarding can get so boorrriiiinnnnngggggg. If not napping at his post, Anzo will probably be off cracking jokes and eating food with said inhabitants of Winding that he loves so much, and being quick to make friends, he has plenty of people to do ignore his duties with. He's impulsive and ultimately humble, knowing damn well how crappy a guard he can be and how good sandwiches taste.

49,901 | 1,342 | 2 | 1,063 | 170 | Father Mortain had risen early, as was his custom, to jaunt through the fields and wilderland beyond the village. Men his age had to make an effort to remain in even passable physical condition. He only had to remember the graybeard elders of the seminary to convince himself that such was necessary. Sallow skin, sunken cheeks. It was enough to make Mortain shudder. It was no way for a man to go out, if he could help it.
And if, while on his morning trek, he happened to keep an eye out for the watchmaker, more's the good. Unfortunately, the good Father had spotted neither hide nor hair of the man since he disappeared last week. Naram willing, he would turn up soon, and unharmed. Perhaps he had taken a trip out of town, and had merely neglected to tell anyone? Skilton seemed like the forgetful type, and frankly that suggestion seemed more and more likely as Mortain considered it.
He breathed deeply as he passed alongside a barley field. Whatever small matters troubled the people of Winding, it remained the loveliest bit of country in all the land, and he was glad to be its priest.
In time, Mortain came to the high wooden tower from which Anzo, a most unusual guard, generally kept watch. Generally, that is, unless he was busy doing something else. Which he often seemed to be. The bug meant well, he supposed, but couldn't help but wonder that perhaps he was a touch... Unqualified.
In the spirit of brotherhood, the priest considered waving up to Anzo as he passed. As he could not actually see him up there, he quickly decided against it.
He's always going to and fro. You'll have a chance to greet him later, he thought.
Fair enough.
His bare feet sounding softly on the paving stones, Mortain made way toward the shops near the center of town. His ongoing collection effort was not going terribly well. His parishioners gave generously enough- that was true. No one could deny that. But fixing the shrine's roof looked to be an expensive proposition. Certainly more expensive than he had hoped. Unless he was going to request funds from the Archpriest, which was not a thought he relished at all, he would have to reach out to the local business community. To call upon their sense of charity and decency. Oh, and the Mayor. He would have to ask her, as well.
He wasn't particularly looking forward to that, either. Not that she was unreasonable. For such a young mayor, she had actually proved to be both unusually competent and unusually reasonable. He suspected that her father would have been very proud of her performance thus far. Even so, he hated the idea of asking someone who was for all her ability still just a young girl for help. It seemed like an unnecessary burden for him to place on her.
Well, he thought, a thin smile playing across his lips, if the shopkeepers are sufficiently forthcoming, I won't even have to ask the Mayor.
He came to the door of Nich's Niche Needs, a shop that was as fascinating as its name was difficult to say quickly. Though he had visited many times, he had trouble recalling a time when he had actually purchased anything there. With any luck Nich wouldn't mind. Business went rather well for him, did it not?
Pushing the door open, Mortain passed within, his eyes slowly adjusting to the change in lighting. He glanced about, seeing the shopkeeper nowhere in evidence. The fellow was in the back, he supposed, clearing his throat.
“Nich?” he called, peering briefly at some oddity nearby.
“Are you in? I was hoping to have a word with you.” | Name: Father Mortain Greenfield, Priest of Naram, at your service.
Age: Fifty-two, if you really must know.
Gender: Male of course. I suppose my title would be 'Mother,' otherwise.
Sexuality: Celibate, and that's all I will say on the matter.
Appearance: Well, take a look-
Father Mortain is a fair-skinned human of average height. His hair, although almost totally gray, has yet to thin appreciably. His eyes are brown. Though his youth has long since departed, he is still in good health for a man his age, and makes a point of regular exercise to keep it that way. He is most typically seen wearing a simple brown cassock on his body and nothing on his feet, when the weather allows it. Around his neck he wears the sacred symbol of his order, an emblem depicting a balanced set of scales, cast in silver.
Personality: Well, for one thing I've never much cared for the attitude- prevalent in my order, you understand- that harsh regimentation is the best way to guide a flock. I just don't think that would fly in this village.
I always try to speak kindly, even to strangers and non-believers. Especially to them, in fact. Behaving justly is easily the best way to win converts. Not to mention it's the right thing to do, of course.
Skills: I was trained as a seminarian in the finer points of rhetoric and theology, and received rudimentary instruction in the healing arts. As a boy I was also taught to read and write, to manipulate sums, and I managed to pick up a little bit of herblore as well.
Drawbacks: Might be I'm a little too trusting. I've been called gullible before, after all. I'm a little overfond of imbibing on festive occasions, for which I must do proper penance.
Brief bio: Not much to say, really. I was born here, as any old-timer could tell you. My father worked a plot outside of town, just as his father did, and his grandfather, and so on. My brother and his family work the plot now. And do a fine job of it, I might add.
After reaching adulthood I went off to train for the priesthood in the big city, and spent several years wandering afterward, as is traditional. When my traveling was finished, I was dispatched at my own request back to Winding. Our previous priest in residence- Naram keep him- had died several months earlier, leaving the post open.
I've been tending the shrine to Naram ever since.
I am taking up a collection to repair the roof, if you're feeling generous. Surely you noticed the drip pans in the narthex? |
