"Well, that's one less smoke bomb I have to waste. Run team, to the boat!" OOC: I agree with Dreyrugr's decision. That boat takes more importance than a bunch of mobsters.

OOC: Did someone say And dang it I can only find an AMV of the song! It's either that or a PMV, and I don't want to pull another pony reference after Karie's drunken dancing!

Karie dropped the cart's handle at the sound of the explosion as she watched the crane come down, smashing right in front of her. It was a miracle none of her fellow team members were under it. It was more of a miracle her makeup on her face was still somewhat intact. She cringed at the sign off the mob moving towards them. "Great, just what we need, more unnecessary delays!" She could tell Amorith was getting greedy with the loot. "Amorith, trust the pick pocket, there comes a time in one's life when they realize that their eyes are often hungrier than their stomachs, if you get what I'm sayin'. There will be better loot to come, you just gotta wait for it." Karie fishes out her last smoke bomb. "This is my last one guys! I suggest we make like trees and leave, but that's just me and the boat we gotta get to! Are we going to run again, gang?" OOC: Great, now I suddenly have the urge to go watch Beauty and the Beast again!

Tombstones X X X X X X X X X X X X The party hovers about the same tombstone as they watch another tombstone get painted upon. This time the message reads: "Odds are not in your favour! Give up already!" Which tombstone will the party check next?

OOC: If Jeaux is alright with said decision, than he will take the PL position. I would like to hear his input before I update the stats. And don't worry, I understand.

Karie was still unnerved whenever Nessa did the demonic voice, but in this line of work, she had to pull through. "Majority rules! Here goes nothing!" She tossed the smoke bomb into the mob, hoisted the cart up, and made her way past the crowd. "Remind me after this to get Nessa to a doctor or something."

"We should save those bombs for Fleur. All it take is one minor slip up and the whole scheme goes south. I say we bail, but I want everyone's opinion."

Karie fished out a smoke bomb and prepared to light it. "If you guys wanna dip this fight, we could easily move us and the cart through the mob with a smoke bomb. You guys alright with that?" Battle Order Karie- Smoke Bomb

Karie caught the heads in the makeshift cloth sack, but dropped them the moment they got into her hands. "Dreyrugr, your a stone cold, killer type. Best you take these." She kicked the heads over to Dreyrugr to carry. It seemed as if the town had a vendetta against not getting them to the ship, as an angry mob blocked their path. She noticed Drake make his way forward and address the crowd. Drake, I swear to one of the big guys upstairs, if you screw this up... Karie, realizing an angry mob could easily turn over the cart full of bodies, thought carefully about mob mentality. "We're with you guys, don't worry! We plan on dumping this stuff in the river to show our support for the Cloth guild! The stall was of Hinckwell branding! Down with the Hinckwells!" And all that jazz... Karie though to herself. OOC: Just ensuring our cover isn't blown by the mob overturning our cart.

Tombstones X X X X X X X X X X X X The party continue to investigate the same tombstone from before, tapping it, kicking it, and so forth. Meanwhile the ghosts begin to paint the tombstone they were hiding around and quickly disperse once their master piece is done. When the party look about, they notice a message written on one of the tombstones. "Tick tock, tick tock! Times running out!" Which tombstone will the party investigate next?

Tombstones X X X X X X X X X X X X Red means a desecrated tombstone. The party moves to investigate the chosen tombstone. As they look about it, the ghosts use the party's preoccupation to their advantage and paint on one of the tombstones, giggling as they do so. When the party notices, it's too late. Profanities and smiley faces have been painted onto a tombstone in a strikingly similar colour to the hue used back at the hall. What tombstone will the party investigate next? OOC: Red means that the ghosts have desecrated that grave. You guys can investigate the same tombstone more than once.

Karie rolled her eyes. She couldn't wait until Nessa was in a position where she could complain and torment and badger at hot headed elf constantly. "We still need to get rid of these bodies! If your so excited about doing something, here, help me move these bodies into the cart. We'll toss it into the river, or someone's front lawn or something. I am not, however, touching those headless bodies, eugh, no way! There's still blood coming out of the stumps, and I've gotten enough crude on me already today! We'll cover them up with these pots. Drake, Amorith, Dreyrugr, move the pots out of the way while the two of us load the bodies onto the cart." Karie felt as if the day would just never end. Was it as bad as the Apprentice, or when she was first out on the streets? Maybe not, but today still sucked.

Jeaux watches the ghost for a possible pattern. The ghost's simply floating their, looking about for something. Zoltan walks over to the spook, his metal armor clanging as he does so. The ghost turns around and notices him. "Hello sad soul, do yo-" Before Zoltan can finish introducing himself the ghost rears it's head back and quickly floats away! As Zoltan turns back to the party a painful ringing sound erupts in his helmet, almost deafening his hearing! His ears begin to ring as two ghosts holding metal rods laugh with glee! "Ding dong! Ding dong! It looks like we have a faulty bell! Ding dong, ding dong!" They laugh viciously as they vanish into the night. The tombstones rattle as more high pitched laughter erupts from an unknown source. "If you wanna fight us you're going to have to catch us, first! We're hiding in one of twelve tombstones! Pick a wrong tombstone, and we'll graffiti the one we we're in and move to another one adjacent to the one we left! Let's see if you can catch us before we create masterpieces out of six of the twelve tombstones. Not like it'll ever happen though!" The chorus of laughter rises up again as the party is given a tough decision. Which tombstone does the party wish to investigate first? OOC: The image above is the layout of the tombstones. Just like with the trees, I'll mark the one's that have been vandalized. Adjacent means any of the surrounding tombstones, and like Spike in the trees, the ghosts won't return to a tombstone they've desecrated. Good luck! Tombstones X X X X X X X X X X X X

Before Karie can fish her Dagger for Nessa, she notices Dreyrugr walk over to the two ravens and begin to loop their heads off. Karie looks away in disgust as Dreyrugr gets to work. "You know, you could have taken this into an alley or something! Excuse me, the notion alone is makes me wanna hurl." Karie turns a little green. "Amorith, who ever said we killed him? They'll never know due to the fact he's laced with non-magical, not Bolts of the Raven- Slayer... well... bolts. We dump the body in the river, and they'll be none the wiser! Wait, that's the third time we've had to dispose of bodies today. Well, on the brighter side, the fish'll be happy." Karie gave an uncomfortable laugh after her remark. She tried hard to ignore Nessa's comment, but it was hard not to for her. "Exactly: me! Chin up Nessa, you stick around me and perhaps you'll be able to wear this illustrious pin one of these days too!" She sneers, re-positioning the "Party Leader " pin on her clothes. "Also, will you hold on Nessa, Amoith needs to torch these heads slightly! Then we'll need to find something to transport them in." Karie tries as hard as she can to not look at the decapitated were-raven heads, or their now headless corpses.

Inventory: Potion, Remedy, Grand Potion The party, realizing that sleeping would make them forfeit their task, pack their sleeping bags and head for the Tombstone Row. They stop though and turn around at the sound of Scary's voice. "Oi! Hold on a minute! Before you go, me and the boys here would like to say thank you for saving the cemetery." "We most likely won't see you again, since mornings coming fast. Most of us here in the cemetery take to our crypts in the day, so we wanted to say so now since we won't have the opportunity to do so later. You have my gratitude!" "What they said. Thanks." "Until we meet again! Either in life, or in death!" "Ciao!" "Farewell!" With the skeletons farewells taken care of, the party moves on to their final destination for the night. TOMBSTONE ROW The party makes it to the Tombstone Row, the night's sky lightening up from pitch black to a dark blue, signaling the beginning of a new day. Many of the stars are no longer invisible, and the rain has stopped pouring on the party. The party searches the area diligently until they notice a single spook hovering in the air. It doesn't appear to have noticed the party yet. What does the party wish to do?

Karie wiped the sweat off her head. The fight was finished quicker than she anticipated. She looked at the two imposter, and looked about to ensure the crowd had dispersed. What came to her mind next sickened her stomach. "Well... here comes the gross part. We're going to have to cut their heads off... eugh. Any volunteers?" Loot Distribution Fire Bomb, Potion: Karie Fire Bomb, Smoke Bomb, Remedy: Drake Potion, Smelling Salts: Nessa Fire Bomb, Potion: Amorith Throwing Dagger: Dreyrugr

OOC: Oh well, that's life! Karie stumbled about, not sure what was going on. Her mind spun, spun, spun about. Wait, was she working for the church? The Shadeux? The Wolfgang? Did she steal Nessa's gem? Is she to blame for her insanity? Who was the Apprentice? Did she enjoy being under his thrall? She groans in the agony of her restless mind. "Ah, my head is so full of stuff! Amorith, Drake, take out these two guys! Everyone else take a remedy and a breather!" She stumbled to the back row, pulled a remedy out of her pouch and braced for the worst. She was confused, but she knew that remedies tasted awful. Battle Order >Karie: Remedy on self >Drake: Remedy on self >Nessa: Remedy on self >Amorith: attack Sha Do Ice magic Dreyrugr: attack Da Gi

"If you rest now you'll sleep till morning. If you guys are done hunting those ghosts, go ahead, but if not I'd recommend not resting. Don't worry, you'll be healed up at the end of the job."

OOC: Stats have changed. Look at previous post to check. The church bell rings out again, much to the surprise of the party. DONG! DONG! DONG! "Jeez, three o'clock. It's rather early out. It seems you've been out all night. Surely you must be tired?"

Karie was more than a little unnerved to see Dreyrugr turn on the party so easily. Was... was this what she looked like under the control of... him? "Everyone back! Drake, remedy yourself! Everyone else stick to your targets." Lab rat, lab rat, lab rat.... Karie rushes forward and forcefully makes Dreyrugr drink her remedy. (from the back row!)

When they return to the trio of skeletons they appear to have switched topics yet again, the rain from before has stopped and has diminished to a light sprinkle. "I don't care about them to be honest. The Wolfgang are simply a bunch of hotheaded, wannabe crooks under the facade of a revolutionary cloak." "I've heard the town watch has had more than their fair share of troubles with them. What about those four missing guards. Scary, what's your take on it?" "I couldn't care less, it's the town watch Jerry, their nothing short of money-pinching crooks." "Wait, than who is the good guys if both the town watch and the Wolfgang are corrupt?" The threesome notice the party and begin to applaud as they walk towards them, their skeletal hands clacking together as they do so. "Well done! We heard about the incident from Aldus, who told us that you guys slaughtered whatever was in there!" "Than he ran off in a hurry to find Violet. It was rather rude actually." "Just one more area to go, Tombstone Row! You could also see Mr. Timmins if you're low on consumables." THE EUBRIC CEMETERY 1. The Old Well COMPLETE! A very ominous noise has been emitting from The Old Well, often asking passersby cryptic riddles. Solve its riddle and defeat whatever’s living down there. If the heroes fail the riddle, the area will be lost. 2. The Unmarked Mausoleum COMPLETE! Wealthy individuals get buried in this maze of coffins. Some ominous beings have been spotted inside, and need to be removed from the premise. If the party comes to the entrance of the Mausoleum twice before finding the spooks, the mausoleum will be lost. 3. The Lover’s Grove COMPLETE! The heroes must find where the awful racket is coming from in the trees. Shaking a tree will cause the individual causing the noise to jump to another tree, causing the bats in the one he was in to fly off. If four of the six trees are disturbed, the area will become infested with bats, and will be lost. 4. The Hero’s Monument COMPLETE! A trio of nasty spooks have been hanging around the Hero’s Monument. See what they want and deal with them properly. 5. Tombstone Row A group of skittish ghosts have infested this row of tombstones. Every time the party investigates a tombstone, the ghosts move to a new tombstone, and desecrate the one they were hiding in. Out of the 12 tombstones, if 6 are desecrated, the area is lost. Mr. Timmin's Shack Purchase items and take a breather here. Where does the party wish to go next?

Shadow C- Miss The party quickly scrambles a plan together, and start with Zoltan attempting to strike Shadow A with his Ball and Chain. He is less than successful though, as Shadow A swiftly dodges his attack. Jeaux, still on a quest- spanning roll, strikes all three Shadow's with his trusty bow. However, the Shadow's murky bodies only absorb half the damage! Em takes the turn to heal himself, while Heckz prepares a chilly spell. He isn't quick enough to notice his target swoop in and strike him with his sharp claws! Amma attempts to sweep her target away, but Shadow C manages to move out of the way!

His target continually seems to dodge his every move, which begins to get to his nerves. Jeaux takes a hit from Shadow B, who preoccupation gives Em the window of opportunity he's looking for. He fires an arrow at the creaure, dealing massive amounts of damage. Despite trying as hard as he can, Heckz can't simply hit his target.

Murky Pearl- A mysterious pearl dropped by a Shadow. The inside of the pearl seems to swirl about, giving it it's name. Worth 25 gold. Party Leader, could you please distribute the loot. After vanquishing the Shadows, the mausoleum becomes easier to see in, almost as if the Shadows were controlling the amount of light coming in. A few torches spring back to life as the party stands in the newly lit mausoleum. OOC: Just as a heads up, there's nothing left to do in the mausoleum besides leaving. Once everyone's confirmed their loot, we'll move this along.

Karie shook her head in dismay. "No, use your other bow! The other bow! You won't need to spend a turn swapping it out if you use that other bow you have!"

OOC: No problem, you just left Karie with one less impacting decision, which Nessa will probably complain about later, which is fine. Karie drew Sexy out of her belt. "Well that was unexpected. Once again, stay back unless you are one hundred and one percent sure you can't take a hit. Dreyrugr, take one of the brothers out, Drake, take the other. Amorith, the Hobgoblin's all yours. I've got the Serial Rapist. As well, Nessa, swap weapons, the mob boss didn't want us attacking his men with those arrows!" Karie attempts to plunge her rapier into Jay Walker from the back row.
