Natural Enmity (Alternative View)

Travel through the Mitaji Mountains was tough and unkind. In the week and a half since they've fled from the Order's keep, the group had only made it halfway to Ogouri. The only real clue that they were at least getting close was the now-constant cloud of ash in the sky to the northwest. It still too far away to leave the grayish-white powder on the landscape, but the knowledge of traveling straight to the base of a volcano was getting mighty hard to deny.

Travel was slowed due to the need to stop and hunt on a regular basis now that the provisions they had brought with them from the Mitaji House of the Order of Ozain had been completely used. Rabbit, even without ale to bast them in, was a welcome change from the fish that the Order had preferred due to their dietary restrictions. However, even those had been scarce the last couple of days due to the increasing lack of woodlands as they followed the trail up the sides of a few mountains.

As rabbits became rare, they were replaced by ibex, a smallish mountain goat, and the larger chamois, a cross between a goat and a sheep. The nimble creatures were still no match for Iryna's fiery daggers. At least the ibex weren't. She had yet to mange to pierce the thick combination of wool and hide that covered the chamois. Waste of a good dagger, that was.



Iryna focused on the ibex she had just taken down and was planning on field dressing to take it back to camp. She ran a hand reverently over its silky side, saying a small prayer of thanks as was the custom of her people. Doing so felt more natural than any of the litanies that Father Donatello had insisted be learned before proper healing techniques. Organized religion made her feel itchy, as had staying in one place so long. This, the open air, was where a gypsy belonged. Not cooped up in a stone fortress. Only after burying the goat's heart did Iryna look back up to her companions.

Ella's blue eyes were steady and unclouded. Moonbeam must be here at the moment. 'Strange,' Iryna thought. While at the Order House, the girl had drifted in and out of lucidity, her powerful mind working against her. Since leaving, the little psychic had almost always been present.

Ella did look a bit green at the moment from the blood. Iryna bit back a laugh. A mighty warrior on the battlefield was queasy due to animal blood. Furor, on the other hand, looked fit to burst with questions.

"So let's get this back to camp then," Iryna declared before the boy could speak. "Furor, do you still have that stick I handed you earlier?" The boy nodded and handed it over.

"What was that you said, Mama?"

"I thanked the beast for her life which will nourish us," Iryna replied as she slipped the stick through the ibex's bound legs. The mountain goat was a bit on the small size, but still Iryna was certain that she wouldn't be able to lift it herself. "And don't call me 'Mama', kiddo. I ain't near old enough for that, like I've been telling ya. 'Aunt' or 'sis' is fine."

"But if Korin is 'papa', then who's mama?"

"Dunno," Iryna admitted as Ella shouldered the other side of the pole and they lifted together. "Have you asked Korin?"

"Yeah," the child necromancer said with such dejection that Iryna felt a twinge of her heartstrings. It didn't slow the pace they were using to return to camp. "He never answers though. Just changes the subject. Brother says that he's avoiding the topic."

"Well, he might be," Ella said. The white-haired girl gave a little grunt as she almost collided with a rock in their path. They were making good time, even with their burden. "We don't know much about Korin's past. He could have had a special somebody."

"What do you mean? Like his own skeleton?" Furor looked confused. They walked into the area they had chosen near a mountain creek and a straggly strand of trees. "But Papa doesn't like bones being used that way." The pair of girls set down their burden besides the fire pit just as Furor decided to remind them of something that he felt was rather important. "He made me bury the bones, remember?"

"hey I see a fine catch there," kuro said trying to get the conversation away from what he could only guess was once again furor asking about moms and the drawfs dislikeing of bones.

kuro stood up and went over to help anyway he could.

'That boy hangs on to topics best left dropped like a dog and a bone,' the stoic dwarf humphed as he went about making sure their temporary shelter was up to par.

"Kuro couldn't be mom.... he is more like loveable pet..." Furor said in a pondering way as he walked beside Iryna, "Ella is indeed sister...., Iryna then would be aunty if she cannot be momma...." Furor said not muttering to himself as he pulled Ruin out of his pouch. Petting the skeleton cat he grinned at it. "Maybe we should let you hunt... I bet these things wouldn't stand a chance if you went after them..." Furor told Ruin as he lifted the cat up to kiss it on its forehead.

"So how much longer do we travel like this... isn't there at least a nice graveyard we could rest in for the night. I mean sure sleeping outside is great and all... but there is nothing like the smell of freshly turned dirt," As this was stated the voice of Tumult was echoing about within Furor's head as he could not stop laughing.

kuro looked at Iryna and asked, "can I help you with that?" master launched into a tierade of yelling over the pet fact and kuro just laughed quitely to him self.

Abby's eyes twinkled seeing everyone so lively in the conversation. As she carefully measured out what spices were left and selected some sparingly to put with the goat. "Bring it over here. We need to section some off for tonight and some for a morning soup." Abby said cheer in her voice.

kuro walked to away from the group for a moment. figureing that noone would care to much if he had a sec to laugh out loud.

"I can help remove the bones." Furor offered, "You know if you let my new pets hunt they could find more to eat..." he said to the girls about him. "They wouldn't tire out as easily, and there are more of them to find their pray easier," he stated with a grin.

"New pets?" Iryna questioned distractedly as worked on butchering her kill. Abby took the first two sections and spitted them to start dinner cooking. Ella already started building another fire for smoking some of the meat. "Don't need much help with the processin', kiddo, but if you could have your minions work on destroying that wooden wall that Korin created earlier, we could use some more wood." She finished with a jerk of her head toward the half demolished wall at the edge of their campsite opposite of where the dwarf was working on his summoned stone 'house'.

'Furor's new... pets?' the dwarf thought as he overheard the last of the conversation pass around the rest of their group before the realization hit him of what they were talking about.

"FUROR!" he bellowed from the doorway of their temporarry stone structure "DONT YOU REMEMBER WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT THE OTHER NIGHT WHEN YOU SHOWED ME THOSE! NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR 'EM!"

Abby laughed enjoying the family atmosphere. Seeing Korin round on Furror, cutting the meat and dividing it up with Iryna. Seeing Ella dancing around talking so alive and Kuro laughing aloud. This was the finest part of life.

kuro headed back to join the rest of the group getting ready for dinner.

A small army of Skeletons appeared as they began to hack away at the wooden wall so they could carry it to the fire. "I know not to bring them out.... Sister Ella is there and you said not to scare her with the pets unless we need to... but they could help more.."

The dwarf's face softened as he called out again "I understand you think they might, but it's not worth it lad."

With one last look over his shoulder he walked out to the fire pit.

Furor sat near the fire his hands cupped as he stared down into them. "Soft is the creatures that play, creatures that are cast offs of us you see, little little pets of mine, one day one day we shall play a part that is divine, then others shall see that even the cast off things of the light are a wonder to behold when call by me, my little pets of darkness make, come come to me to play upon the moments dates," he whispered into his hands before seeming to stretch out to watch the skeletons at work. "Even you carry our new pets. Every one carries our new pets. yet they fear them. why," the boy said trying to ponder this fact out.

Just then, the wind shifted from coming down the mountain to coming out of the forested area opposite. Instead of crisp pine and fir, the breeze brought a foul smell similar to unwashed bodies and spoiled blood. Iryna straightened automatically from her task. Her dark eyes were fixed on the woods even as her hand shifted its grip upon her bloodied dagger.

"Korin, guys," she called softly, "we've got company."

Korin's head snapped up from the flames at that exclamation and he cave a tentative sniff of the air, he'd know that rancid stench anywhere...

"Orcs." he Growled as he shifted his stance and readied his twin greatswords.

"No not dogs, please don't be afraid of what comes to me this night. But I am going to use what ever I can to make sure we live." Looking down towards the ground for a moment the boy gave a rather wicked grin. "Arise my friends and come to our aid from the darkness you where born from my soul you have came. Slither forth from the cracks of the land and bring your weapons to bear upon the enemies at hand."

As Furor spoke these words shades began to form close to him their images starting to take upon a rather solid form. Six flickering forms began to take shape between Furor and the enemies while a seventh began to take shape right before Furor. "These are my new pets, please don't be afraid of them, unless your the enemy," the boy said laughing softly as the skeletons that had been handling the firewood seemed to vanish where they once had stood.

Furor begins to bring 7 shades into being.

kuro steps forward, putting himself infront of everybody else, and says lightly under his breath, "this might hurt."

The leaves on the trees shifted in a breeze. The shadows of the trees were darkly oppressive. The foul scent of the barbarians continued to dance from within that sheltering shade, but that was the only hint that there were enemies in vicinity of their camp.

'That fool of a boy!' the dwarf thought angrily shifting his grip on his dual blades slightly 'I told him not to use them in her presence unless absolutely necessary!'

"Come on out you ruddy brutes" the dwarf bellowed toward the trees before his volume dropped and his voice took on a gravelly tone "Come to your deaths."

"Oh, yes," agreed Iryna as she slinked her way around the fire pit to get closer to the forest's edge. The gypsy briefly touched Abby's arm as she passed the girl. "Lurking in the shadows like you are is the work of a coward."

There was a rustling of movement just beyond what she could see properly. However, the angry stampede she had been expected didn't happen. She blinked in surprise. Usually orcs were easy to provoke into action. The gypsy warrior risked a glance back at the dwarf to share her confusion. Korin's stony face gave nothing away though.

unknowingly thinking along the same lines as Iryna , Korin made what some may have called a foolish snap decision... He charged blindly into the forest with the only light guiding him being that coming off his twin swords. Striking the first creature he came across once past the treeline the flash of his strike briefly illuminated the forest around him as he cleaved through the orcish warrior.

'd20' : 9, 10, 7, 3

There was a scuffle from the woods, followed by sharp sounds of pain. There were flashes of light from Korin and Iryna's weapons as they attacked. The goblins paid no mind to the fates of their orcish comrades, marching out to surround the party like some kind of demented pack of wolves.

Abby seeing Ella spin turns and sees more orcs approaching from the rear calls out "To the rear." She then moves closer to Ella "Furror keep close there are more out there."
=========================================================
Abby move 5 feet toward Ella.

Furor turns, and glares at the enemies behind him. "Shades watch over my back, so I say let us fight this day." With a thought he wondered over something, "Should I create a wall to guard us on some side?" he said as he cast two Dark Attack spells. As this was said the shades moved to watch over their master.
