A Country Divided (Redux) • RP Thread

"Those skilled in survival, coordinate to get us a battle line all around the city, those who can clear space and lift well, follow their lead, for those who are skilled in neither, help the villagers prepare!" Vera ordered, sliding right into coordinating to give orders
Arriving to the villagers, Caitlin would say, "There's an attack about to arrive. Prepare any barricades you can to reinforce your houses and shacks. Take the animals back at the shelter." looking at each resident, "My comrades have what it takes to defend you all, we need only your cooperation for your own safety..."
 
Nigredo took note of the detail of Rass' map, her eyes squinting beneath the darkness of her cloak. She didn't... understand it consciously. But at the back of her mind, she instinctively knew where to go... her intuition tempered over years of battle allowing her to unconsciously memorize Rass' map.

"Ahh..." She murmured to herself, before turning away from the piece of paper. "Aaaaa... a. A. Ah. Uh. A. Uh..."

She began walking off away from the group, having no particular direction in mind... If she was not stopped or brought back to reality, she would walk directly into a nearby tree, bonking her forehead on it.
 
Kaminos soon got back to work, helping lift the things that needed to be carried. It didn't prove to difficult for him, though.

"Nigredo!" Palaria said quickly since she didn't have much better to do with her relative physical Frailty, quickly, she tried to touch the smaller Individual, bringing up a safety forcefield just in case though

"Yer going ta have to get the makings for Arrows and Crossbow Bolts for that one." A large main said, wiping sweat from his brow as he held a particularly strange hammer over his shoulder, the color unlike any metal Caitlin had seen before, with all fo the villagers clamoring to defend themselves... there was a lot of willpower going around here.

Rubedo began simply following Rassilon, observing what he was doing with twin rubies for eyes and a dead silence as she watched the vampire hunter work...

Vera made strides, using one of her Katanas to cut all the way through a small tree, which she then picked up and began to travel towards the village with...
 
"Shit...shit shit shit shit shit!"

A lanky figure could be seen sprinting towards the group in the distance, his boots impacting lightly onto the grass beneath his feet. His elaborate cloak, marked with skull emblems, trailed behind him, the dark fabric flailing freely in the wind as he rapidly approached. His face was obscured...a decorative mask covering much of his features, but it was obvious even from a distance that he was practically panting from exertion. Behind him...trailing against the ground, was what seemed to be a MASSIVE scythe, easily larger than the already tall man carrying it, the decorative pattern on its blade flashing in the sunlight.

He didn't seem to be one of the enemies the queen had referred to, but he was a...rather peculiar site, nonetheless.
 
Nigredo!" Palaria said quickly since she didn't have much better to do with her relative physical Frailty, quickly, she tried to touch the smaller Individual, bringing up a safety forcefield just in case though
"Huh? Huh? Huh? Huhhhhh???" Nigredo froze up once it felt Palaria's fingers against it, it's neck twisting almost in a... uncanny way, to turn to look at Palaria.

"Huh. Huh... huhhh..."

"....hi."

"Santiago! You're late!" Vera called out, recognizing the man immediately, she personally thought he was a bit of an idiot from the reports oh him, but he could be useful at least...

"Huh. Huh... huhhh..."

"....hi."
"Hey... you were going to walk into a tree..." Palaria said quietly, a little unnerved by the unnatural Twisting of Cain's neck...
 
Rassilon turned his head, he had finished fortifying an area until he noticed the presence of this individual due to how agitated he was moving and after Vera call him

"Uh, another one? do you know him from somewhere?" Rassilon ask Vera

A large main said, wiping sweat from his brow as he held a particularly strange hammer over his shoulder, the color unlike any metal Caitlin had seen before, with all fo the villagers clamoring to defend themselves... there was a lot of willpower going around here.
"Understood." Caitlin nodded. "Anything else you need?" she asked politely.
 
Hey... you were going to walk into a tree..." Palaria said quietly, a little unnerved by the unnatural Twisting of Cain's neck...
"Ter... eeee... trrrr... eeeeee...." Nigredo said nonchalantly, their head gently swaying from side to side beneath their marred cloak.

"Trrr..." trrr...

"eeeeeee...." eeeeeee....

"Pal. Pal tree. Tree pal. Tree amazing." Nigredo said, turning back to the tree which she was about to walk into before, now in awe of its... treeness. It's treedom.
 
"Understood." Caitlin nodded. "Anything else you need?" she asked politely.
"Seems you have a Survivalist, so no." The large man responded, getting ready to craft what was needed if any wood came in some time that century
Rassilon turned his head, he had finished fortifying an area until he noticed the presence of this individual due to how agitated he was moving and after Vera call him

"Uh, another one? do you know him from somewhere?" Rassilon ask Vera
"Not personally!" Vera called out
"Ter... eeee... trrrr... eeeeee...." Nigredo said nonchalantly, their head gently swaying from side to side beneath their marred cloak.

"Trrr..." trrr...

"eeeeeee...." eeeeeee....

"Pal. Pal tree. Tree pal. Tree amazing." Nigredo said, turning back to the tree which she was about to walk into before, now in awe of its... treeness. It's treedom.
"Indeed..." Palaria said, still being friendly to Nigredo, even with the caution she took to touching her and the uneasiness of her neck Twisting like that
 
"Santiago! You're late!" Vera called out, recognizing the man immediately, she personally thought he was a bit of an idiot from the reports oh him, but he could be useful at least...
Santiago stumbled in front of the woman, putting his hands on his knees.

"Oi....Oi...d-don't...j-just shout my r-real name...like that..." He said tiredly, taking a heavy breath. He straightened himself, gingerly hefting his scythe onto his back.

"Ahem. Death Dealer. At thy service." The man said, his voice...notably lower than before.

"I'll shout whatever information about you as is necessary, or desired." Vera bluntly responded as she moved to stroll into the village with an entire tree on her back

Rubedo looked over at Santiago, her gaze could be seen as unnerving as she just... stared.
 
"Indeed..." Palaria said, still being friendly to Nigredo, even with the caution she took to touching her and the uneasiness of her neck Twisting like that
Indeed. Very much indeed. Everything she said was right. Everything. Cats were amazing. Trees were amazing. Living was amazing. Absolutely amaŻZ'ZZZZHahahahahaAAAAAAzzzing.

"Amazing. So amazing. Amazing. Amazing."

Nigredo began wandering around once more, with a bit more awareness of her surroundings. She observed the local plant life of the area, pointing out each little thing as "amazing" to her. She picked up random flowers and growths from the ground, then shoved them into her cloak... somewhere.

Palaria simply followed Nigredo, commenting on each plant she picked up, and even going as far as to name the uses for the plants she recognized!

Rubedo looked over at Santiago, her gaze could be seen as unnerving as she just... stared.
Death Dealer...or Santiago, as the woman had called him, breathed out, slowly rubbing his neck. He looked up wearily at the tree the woman was carrying, taking a step away to give her a wide berth. His eyes shifted to Rubedo for a moment, his grip on his scythe tightening somewhat, in a manner visible enough to portray a willingness to use it.

"Anyway...what did I miss, stranger? Is the boss arrivin' soon?" The man said, moving to the side of Vera.

Rassilon sighed before returning to work, this place will not improve itself, Rass as if moving like lightning, he continued building and reorganizing the surroundings.
 
Nigredo would have continued picking flowers, but noticed that the group was beginning to shift into the nearby village. Why? She didn't know. Picking flowers was a much more entertaining activity then going into a place with... people. People. The bane of her very existence.

And now, there were more people here. Another insect, buzzing in her ear. While she picked flowers and other miscellaneous plant life... she muttered to herself...

"Skull mask man... kill him...? Kill him... kill him in his sleep... kill him... kill him... kill... kill..."

(the message from Thalia was anonymous lol)

"The Boss- the queen- has come and went, we're defending this village from a Shadow attack, and we're reuniting Baharuth." Vera responded "Oh, and I'm the leader of this operation, so make youself useful."

Caitlin would nod along and proceed to help. (I genuinely don't know what to do, so... just say she's helping with the defending of... The village — my dementia makes me unable to remember)
 
"The Boss- the queen- has come and went, we're defending this village from a Shadow attack, and we're reuniting Baharuth." Vera responded "Oh, and I'm the leader of this operation, so make youself useful."
".........." Santiago stared at the woman blankly for a moment.

"......." And another moment.

"......." His walking slowed suddenly, his scythe lowering to drag across the ground.

"Queen...you...you don't mean queen Thailia...right?" The man whispered.

(Had this response up days ago but it didn't send? sorry)

"I do, failed assassin. Court Mage Albus was with her along with yours truly..." Vera said with a smirk

Santiago would have been...quite indignant, at that first part had he not currently been processing the more important information in her message.

"...damn....DAMN. I'm in over my head this time." The man thought. Awkwardly, adjusted his mask with a hand, his eyes scanning the nearby landscape.

"...Oi. How many people have we got here? I..." He lowered his voice, his tall, lankly frame crouching down to whisper to her.

"...I ain't exactly a frontliner, if you catch my drift."

"Ten, not counting you. Don't worry, I'll be the one keeping your dumbass alive, probably." Vera said
 
"Ten, not counting you. Don't worry, I'll be the one keeping your dumbass alive, probably." Vera said
Santiago breathed out, slowly straightening himself. He slowly hefted his large scythe back on his shoulder, a feat which took...a visible amount of effort for the lanky young man.

"I just need y'all distract 'em enough to keep their claws outta my chest." The man said.

"And aye. I don't know what you know, or what the queen knows, about my whole...situation. But...keep it to yourself, alright? Gotta reputation to upkeep."

"Yes, I wonder how your reputation would do if a healer was doing more damage then you in a fight." Vera said, before walking off and delivering the tree to it's destination for usage by the village
 
Santiago watched the woman as she departed, before turning away.

"...Ain't exactly a charmer is she." The man muttered. Gingerly, he leaned against one of the trees in the forest, allowing his scythe to fall to his feet below.

"Still...the situation could be worse. Queen's probably hired some serious muscle. Just gotta let them get dirty and reap the rewards once it's over..." The man thought, cocking his head.

"...Should at least try to pull my weight though. Especially with her breathing down my neck..." He muttered. Hestiating for a few moments, he grasped his scythe from the ground, before heading into the village, looking to see if anyone needed help.

"He should know how to make Arrows and whatnot." Santiago could hear Vera's voice talking to a large and muscular guy with a large hammer, who nodded "you will need to know how to do so as well, so stick around. Plus, you're probably the best healer here, so you can deal with any pre-battle injuries." He said, surprisingly making Vera go quiet, as if he'd hit a bit of a nerve of Vera's
Rassilon sighed before returning to work, this place will not improve itself, Rass as if moving like lightning, he continued building and reorganizing the surroundings.
"Do you trust 'Santiago'?" Rubedo simply asked, watching Rassilon work

Santiago absentmindedly glanced at the muscular man as he walked, stopping a few feet away.

"Y'all folks need some arrows?" The man said. He adjusted his mask slightly, ensuring the muscular man wouldn't be able to see his face.
 
"Cairne Village, huh...? Hmm... yeah, looks like we're on the right path."

A traveler stared down at an old, dusty map that she had "borrowed" from a local shopkeep from one of the towns she'd visited a few days prior. She promised she'd give it back, totally.

She stood on a cliff from a couple of miles away from the village entrance, looking off into the horizon. Beneath her mask, which weirdly had no holes or openings in it, she squinted...

"Yep, that's the place. Off we go."

The drifting traveler casually hopped off the cliff on which they stood, landing on the ground with a thud that made their bones violently rattle. Not only did they wear a heavy orange jacket, at their back was a... frankly enormous bag of "goodies", as she called it, that weighed more than someone who stood at barely 5 feet tall should've been carrying.

Anyways, with a snap of her fingers, the map she was holding disappeared and was transferred back into her bag. She adjusted the giant package a bit so it didn't fall off her shoulders(as it had several times before), and began moving.

It took the traveler... more than just a few minutes to make it to the entrance of the village. But without taking any breaks or stops to "relieve themselves", they made it to the entrance of Cairne Village without any issues.

She sighed, "Looks a lot smaller in person. Oh, well."

The traveler snapped their fingers, and summoned something from their bag- A pouch of coin appeared in their hand, which they then began counting. "Should be enough to stay a few nights at an inn... and if it isn't... sleeping in ditches isn't so bad..."
"No kill, befriend..." Palaria said to Nigredo with a smile
"Uhhhhhhhhhh..." Nigredo tilted it's head, "O.... Okay... Okay... Okay. So... mutilate? Severely... injure... instead...?"
 
Santiago absentmindedly glanced at the muscular man as he walked, stopping a few feet away.

"Y'all folks need some arrows?" The man said. He adjusted his mask slightly, ensuring the muscular man wouldn't be able to see his face.
"Not every village has an endless supply of arrows, in case you thought I carry trees aroune for fun." Vera curtly said to Santiago, using what he said to escape the conversation

"I assume you at least have the knowledge of how to make them?" The Muscular man asked, a thick brow raising as the entire village was stirring with people either working or getting their shelters ready...

"crappy place to stick around! Unless that sack has some weapons to defend yourself with!" Vera called out to the traveler, since she was facing the entrance to the village anyway and this person was clearly not from around there
"Uhhhhhhhhhh..." Nigredo tilted it's head, "O.... Okay... Okay... Okay. So... mutilate? Severely... injure... instead...?"
"No... befriend, like I'm trying to do with you. That, or just tolerate- or 'allow to exist'." Palaria said gently, with just as gentle of a smile on her face
