Stalkerkain

Magna Sigyl "Reinforcements? More like Nobunaga did all the work," Magna grumbled. Her attention turned more to the remains of the battlefield, looking to desecrate some corpses for her benefit. Lifting her scythe in the air, she began to twirl it slowly, as it started to pick up speed. Souls began to rise from the remains of the battlefield, and absorb itself into Magna and her minions. To her, it appeared as a spectacle of lights rising from the corpses, but the others probably wouldn't be able to discern the light of the souls. At the same time, the remaining officer and two dragon too

Magna Sigyl (9/39 HP) Res: 3 (5 vs. magic attacks) Magna let out a groan, as her vessel was starting to give way. It reacted too slowly to defend, after receiving damage. She steadied herself with her scythe and looked up into the sky, wondering if Abraham would come pick her up after she died? She chuckled, knowing there was no judgement to the heavens or hell, at least for the undead. She had already had her second chance. Vengeful Curse activated!

Magna Sigyl (13/39 HP) Res: 3 (5 vs. magic attacks) "Rest well, faithful beast. Try to be something tougher in your next life," she said, letting out a sigh. The last of her skeletal beasts had left her, as she ensured the souls were sent to the afterlife properly. She turned over at her newly raised minion. It was in poor taste to be manipulating the remains of your enemy, but now was not the time to be debating ethics. There was a battle to be won. Vengeful Curse is active!

Magna Sigyl (29/39 HP) Res: 3 (5 vs. magic attacks) "Whew, that felt like a close one," she sighed with relief. Magna lamented how fragile her minions were, wishing they were still around to do her bidding. Her remaining skeletal beasts gave a roar, indicating it's readiness to fight. "Atta' boy. It's just you and me now, but you'll have a friend soon enough." Vengeful Curse is active! Officer C will revive at the start of Turn 4 with 10 HP!

Magna Sigyl (14/39 HP) (pending healing) Res: 3 (5 vs. magic attacks) Magna could feel her vessel deteriorating from the damage dealt to it. If nothing is done, she herself would perish. She really wish she had something to hide behind. Nevertheless, she sent her skeletal beasts for another round at the mage.

Magna Sigyl (39/39 HP) Res: 3 (5 vs. magic attacks) "Looks like they have our castle locked down tight," Magna said with a whistle. With the massive welcoming party sitting right on their doorstep, it would be rude not to go and greet them. "Figure the remaining people in the castle are still holed up in there?"

"Well, who am I to argue with two mages, right?" Rosalvya said with a shrug. She'll believe it when she sees it. Ghost or not, so long as it didn't start haunting them in the midst of battle, it could probably wait. "Once this fight is over, we can go investigate this 'ghost' to your heart's content all right, Klaren? Even Terrin will come along for the journey, isn't that right?" she said, shooting Terrin a look for encouraging Klaren while they were fighting the enemy.

"Um, Klaren? Is the heat possibly getting to your head?" His claim was bordering lunacy, even for Klaren's standards. "If you're not feeling well, you're welcome to take a breather, maybe drink some water. Mayanna shouldn't be too far either, if you'd like to go and see her." Rosalvya, not wanting to belittle Klaren, took a moment to look around for Klaren's ghost, before refocusing her attention on the fighter. "I was near the house while your were looking inside, but I didn't see any ghost passing through walls."

The overbearing heat of the sun was starting to take it's toil on Rosalvya, as she moved towards the house to seek shade. She noticed Klaren run out of the house in rather of a hurry, and couldn't help being curious. "You're energetic, even despite this heat," said Rosalvya, as she leaned against the wall of the house. Which was a terrible idea, as the stone was just as hot as everything else in the desert. She eyed the fighter standing nearby with care, not making the first move. The fact that he had not moved even when the previous mage had moved forward perhaps indicated that hi

Seeing Hoshiko take the lead against the mage, Rosalvya followed up to ensure no one else would be harmed by his magic. Forever. "Wrong move, mage," she said. "You should've aimed for me." Move to J5, equip Iron Sword, attack Mage 1

As Rosalvya shielded her eyes from the sunlight, she could see a wyvern begin to barrel towards her. Attempting to grasp the first strike, Rosalvya swung out at the wyvern rider, only to be knocked off her feet by the wyvern's momentum. Fortunately for that, the rider's attack had only met air. She sprung to her feet, preparing for a second encounter, only to see the rider retreating over the wall from whence he came. With a balled up fist, she shook her hand in the air, bellowing her discomfort the only way she knew how. "Friggen' wyverns!" Move to K6, activate Leaf on

"This heat sure is something," She exhaled, focusing on the task at hand. Rosalvya surveyed the blockade in front of them, looking for any gaps in their defense. Unfortunately, it would not seem that the Dragao army would be that careless. There were guards posted as far as the eye could see, and force was the only option for their little group. But between the heavily armed forces to the east, and the lone guard to the west, she knew the obvious path to take. She moved forward through the sand, noting the difficulty of movement she'll have. With her target in sight, she moved forth.

"The best in the city? No wonder that you're out of stock then. I would have loved to see your work." Rosalvya frowned, making no effort to hide her displeasure. They would have to look elsewhere for Radburn's sheathe. "My companion was hoping to find a sheathe for his weapon, but I supposed it can't be helped if you don't have anything. Is there another smithy in town you'd recommend to buy one?" "As for me, I was wondering if I could at least have my sword repaired." Rosalvya took out the iron sword at her side for the blacksmith to inspect. From the outside, the sheathe was badl

Rosalvya looked over at the displays, baffled. She looked at the shop owner, and then back to shop name, wondering if the man back at the linen store had played some sort of elaborate prank on them. She gave a troubled look to Radburn, before going up to address the shopkeeper. "Pardon the nature of my next question, but, this is The Pink Sword, right?" Rosalvya said, as she stared at the empty displays. "The man who owned the clothing shop just up the street told us we could find a smithy here."

"Thanks for the information. We'll pay a visit there." Rosalvya turned and gave a little wave, as she exited the shop. The few words she caught Radburn saying as she rejoined the two were enough to cue her in on what they were talking about. She thought it would be a sore subject, given how many times she imagined people brought it up. But nothing seemed to perturb that bravado of his. Klaren's recent purchase seemed to make him more chipper than usual. "Come on you two, what are you standing around for? Daylight's wasting! The smithy is just down the street!"

"My, it seems like you've come to a decision already," she said, as she walked over to the both of them. She looked over to the thread that the shopkeeper was offering to Klaren. Rosalvya's eyes glazed over as she couldn't really tell the difference in quality from any other thread. So long as Klaren liked it, and the shopkeeper didn't charge them an arm for it, she had no qualms about purchasing it. As the two continued chatting, Rosalvya's eyes lit up again at the mention of a blacksmith. "Did your mother set up shop in Hearthlight? My companion and I have some business with a blacksmith, an

"There's a store that might have what you're looking for," she said as she pointed to the man dancing without a care. "Excuse me, I was wondering if you carried any golden thread-" She was about to ask, when she started to hear Radburn's exasperated breaths as he raggedly caught up to them. She gave him a strange look, before she laughed at his disheveled appearance. "If that's all that takes to wind the great Radburn, then we have to start improving your stamina," she said smugly, hiding the fact that she had plenty of time to catch her breath. "Anyways, you have good timing, as w

Rosalvya let out a small sigh. Perhaps she was overreacting a little. "A head start won't help you, Klaren," she grinned, as she ran after Klaren. She overtook Klaren with relative ease, but didn't run too far ahead of him to avoid losing him in the crowd. She ducked and weaved past the citizens, bewildered by the two figures dashing through the city. Eventually, the streets began to blend into the market, with stalls lining the sides. She slowed down to a halt and waited for Klaren to catch up, as well as catch her breath. "Klaren, about earlier..." she paused. "Sorry if I sounded

"Hm, maybe I shouldn't have been so concerned for you after all. Besides, that lady was just trying to do her job," Rosalvya said, as she half-halfheartedly scolded Klaren. Her mind was elsewhere, hoping that the others won't find themselves in trouble. "Though, I wonder if we still have the luxury of being so casual, with all the commotion that's going around. Let's be quick about what we have to buy, and keep an eye out for Ecquis and Mayanna. I'd also like to visit a blacksmith, if time allows for it."

"Luka, before you leave, would you mind telling Saf- I mean, the others to meet us back at the statue when the sun begins to set? That way everyone will known where to meet up. If any of you run into Dash, Mayanna, or Ecquis, make sure to tell them the same," said Rosalvya. The circumstances couldn't be helped, and she'd hope that none of their descriptions were leaked to their pursuers. She turned over to the now pouting Klaren, and gave him a little tug on his robe. "Come on, let's go look for some golden thread you were after, hm? The sun isn't going to be up forever." She waved

"T-the king?" Rosalvya said nervously. That wasn't good news. At worst, someone from the king's escort might identify Saffron. "Um, what exactly draws his visit here?" While she waited for the tour guide to respond, she quietly whispered to her group. "S-should we be worried? Maybe someone should go warn Safforn."
