"hmm, crisis averted, we need to find somewhere to rest, the boy won't be able to make any long trips. Druid? could you do us one more favor?"
I climb on top of the stone embankment and look to the old shell of the house, seeing the flash of the knight's chainmail and make a quick decision.
"we need somewhere, safe and natural to rest up, could you maybe send a scout, like a bird or something to have a look around? somewhere unnoticable, but close to the road if you please."

"a bear hmm, he would not mind our presence for a night? maybe longer?"
I fill up all of my empty flasks with the water then wash the gore off of my chest arms, and face.
" how far is it from here? we can carry the boy there correct?"
I then notice the foolish merchant sitting, as though in a classroom, waving a scrap of paper at me, I thought it best to humor the man.
"Thank you Druid, you have been most kind, we need to gather the attention of the warrior, he seems to have strayed off. excuse me a moment."
I walk calmly to the fool and crouch beside him, snatching the scrap from his outstretched hand
"now what do you have for me? hmmm, ahhh. This is good, forgive my previous disposition towards you Laviler, you seem to have your wits about you. I had guessed there was poison involved, but this other information is very useful."
I reach into my cloak and hand him the vials of body parts I had taken from the creature
"If what you say is true, you should guard these with your life. Are you ready to move? excellent, we depart soon."
And with that I stand up, redon my shirt and cloak and proceed back to the boy who seemed to be sturggling with conciousness.

A shock, these beasts were. targeting Eli as they did. I quickly throw a pair of knives at the beast attacking the boy, hitting just hard enough to divert it from destroying the boy's face. A quick look around and he saw the knight finish an alpha, the druid impale a flanker and four more creatures bounding up the road.
Assessing the situation I shout "Merchant! Attend to the boy! Druid! put up a wall around you three! Badtouch! your with me! quickly!"
With that I run forwards and up the stone spire and leap over the approaching creatures, throw a knife at all four, killing two instantly Critical hits! and injuring a third and land behind them, hoping to draw thier attention long enough for thew meatshield to do his job.

"oh, great, were somewhere far away from where we started, thank you for that information. with the sun setting i think we can get another hmmm, 7 miles in before we hit dark, i think we should make the most of it"
I look at the motley crew surrounding me, they all seem worn out from the days adventure, or maybe i just don't care
"badtouch? you got lead, we have made excellent time so we shouldn't have to hide our presence anymore, the peddler can take second, boy? you stay close to the old guy and I'll follow up, maintain your intervals and stay ready, we aren't out of this yet. well? lets go!"

"an interesting idea, but would it stay while you are asleep? and if it did would you wake up fully charged? a divine caster's spells are different, you should know that Paladin. It would save us a lot of trouble, but at what cost?"

the cacophony that resonated through the cave was rather disturbing, the sounds of battle were still present but things were, well, different.
The smell of a trio of brown wolves were added to the fray and the sounds of the the mutants life were dripping away. there was still an unseen watcher though, at she was preparing a deathblow.
again logic was overcome by something, greed, lust, desire, whatever it was it played off my natural caution and cunning. it would not be good if I had to deal with this without a crew.
After carefully concealing the child from most senses I stealthily climb up the small mound to survey the surroundings, a strange sight this battle was.
it appeared that the whole world had decided to rise against us, the peddler was dancing with a trio of wolves directly above the entrance to the cave, rocks and rubble were stewn around the battlegrounds. the bear was pinned and being assaulted by the remaining two shadowhounds, the mutant rat had been dealt with but had inflicted some moderate wounds on the paladin and a werewolf was standing off to the left, despite the appearance it would seem this was the druid.
and out in the treeline, 15 feet from the cave i saw what I was looking for, the bog hag, preparing her spell.
seeing that i was in the best position to deal with her I acted swiftly, running towards the edge I make a running jump out towards her. as I near the treeline (32 on my fantastic leap check) I use a similar tactic to before, but with a slight twist. attached to my first dagger was a small clay jar of a caustic liquid, designed to break on impact. i throw the weapons and (with the critical hit, magical damage plus a substance of fire and wounding) hit the bog witch right in the forehead with the caustic blade, the jar explodes and the vile substance destroys her head without a sound.
her summons disapate as I finish my leap by catching onto one of the branches of a tree and break through the cover, knocking the wind out of me as I fall to a lower branch and suffer several cuts and scrapes

"hmm, we cannot travel far in these conditions, and here is just as well now that the past resident has been-" I look at the large boulder that had fallen "-held up. Druid? the boy is out the back of the cave, hidden i have no doubt that you can find him, peddler? erase the dust trap I left at the entrance, throw some dirt over it to break the enchantment."
I finish the bandage with a sharp tug and turn to the vampire
"Now mistress, what can you tell us."

"well, i certainly have had bette- Whoa"
the change was instantanious, the sound, the smells. the night as bright as day and i could hear a strange thumping and a subtle whisper. now the shadows were truly my playground.
"well, you don't see that everyday." power coursed through my veins, nothing could hide from me!"

A quick look at the faces of my companions told me that this decision was neccessary. "hmm, a fair trade, but you must keep to your promises, no lies and no death."
turning to the druid, i smile and direct him into the cave, indicating where the boy was and walk towards the woman. removing the clasp of my cloak and letting it slide down my back, again revealing the kitsune I enter her grasp.
"behave yourself, or your knowlege will not save you."
Finally, the power was MINE!

"do not worry hag, you won't die quickly, if at all. why the boy? surely anyone of us could be a meal, take the cripple" I say this with a gesture to the injured paladin " And of what do you claim your heritage? surely you do not defile the host of elves with your presence?"
Looking for the first time at her face I am overcome with shock and fear, a sensation so strange to me.
"excuse me nosferatu, i did not truly grasp the situation, I should have known better, my humble apologies, I will do what I can to help you, but. you must answer our questions correctly. understand?"
With that I slowly back away, bowing once and never taking my eyes off her.

"hmmm, noted uji-san. since this is your home, would you do us the favour of taking point? oh, and this-" I shake the flask at Miguel " is for you."
As I toss it to him I quickly cut the bottom out of the leather container, spilling the water all over the ground.
" Remember the price I pay for useless information, half truths and whole lies."
I crouch down to look the startled merchant in the face. 'he dares threaten me?'
"you seem out of touch with the world, the number thirteen is law. keep up merchant, or we'll hmm,ahh, have to lock you up and carry you, the boy has an urgent message and you will not hold him back. Am I clear?"
I stand and turn away from his shudders at my allusions and say with a bow.
"let us away then, if you would uji-san? and sir badtouch can take second, the boy in the centre, then the merchant where I can see him and I'll take vanguard, tu satis?"

" i'll take this one boy, Old man, you are not used to humanity so I will forgive you your ignorance, this forest is well known for its mythical powers, powers I am certain have something to do with your presence. These arte ancient and fearsome beasts that hunt us and we needed to use every trick at our disposal. Not to mention while this is really just an unruly garden it is the fastest path to or destination."
Having settled the issue to my satisfaction I turn to the tattered man fawning over the boy and say,
"what have you got to do with this hmm?"

when I was called I cursed the day the gods make water wet, I then stood up from my stalk no more than fifteen paces away from the pair and said"hold good sir, you do not recognize me?" the warrior shakes his head and before the boy can say anything I reply "excellent. I am Felixe. I was merely wary of a new warrior's arrival at such a fortuitous time. rather late are we not?" I look around the carnage as if for the first time and say whistfully" ahhh, if we had a fine knight such as yourself on the night before, i could have slept in a warm bed."
I start making a large effort in wringing out my cloak turning away from the pair i call over my shoulder" It is somewhat suspicious, good sir, as to why a strong fighter such as yourself would approach this poor boy, a lad that has suffered so much" I turn back to face them "you wouldn't be holding an alterior motive now would you? Sir Badtouch?"

I stand awhile as if in thought, but my desires had already been met, a meat shield and a booty boy, what else could I desire? they seem to be good chaps, this will work. I continue on past the two and call back "so be it, but I do not have time to wait, we humans are now prey and to draw attention to our location would be folly, follow of your own accord Sir Badtouch, but remember, I Do not take kindly to failures. Your will be joining us to boy? lets go then."
With that I break into the trees, always searching for trouble, I like trouble.

"heh, forgive my tongue, it twists itself into trouble it seems, the title I have given to you is merely my consideration of Talien, the slayer and my captor. Is it not understandable that I do not hold her in fair light? but I will abide by your request, for there are few that do not know of the ancients, fewer still that remember the truth. fear not! I will speak only of happy things, I shall entertain and you will hear no heresy from me." and with that I spit into the palm of my left hand and grasp Garrett's wrist. "when shall I start?" I lower my voice to little more than a wisper and leancloser to my new patron "I have heard an interesting rumor about the lakes during my travels, perhaps there? the pierced ones seem to be growing more, "active" in the past few years. an interesting thought do you not think?"
and with that I pull back and take my hand from his wrist, give him another wink and turn back to my new beer with a chuckle.

" of all the luck! good sir" I take the proffered hand and shake it heartily "you are too kind to a poor vagabond such as I, and it is good that you can notice my training, I will gladly tell my tale, but I fear that I must leave at some point, and at that time, surely my unholy huntress will nash at my very heels." I motion to one of the awestruck serving girls to bring me anther drink and turn back to Garrett. " thus it would be unfortunate that I were to leave, as i had arrived, broke. If you could but spare me a slice of your soon to be growing income <of this I guarantee!> I could tell other tales, tales of the anchients, the gods, the adventurer's of yore. While great, and tiring my story was, variety guarantee's a full house" a quick wink at the maid that brought my drink and a smile to Garrett, " and a small uhh, donation could not possibly hurt your swelling purse, I ask only what is fair good master." and with a small flourish of my cloak and a bow I gesture to my fresh tankard " I pray that I am not being to presumptious?"

" good folk, I am Lolith, traveller and loremaster extrordinare!" a flourish of my multihued cloak " I have travelled across this fair country, learning and sharing the tales handed down from the gods themselves! truly no man can match my knowledge of the old masters, that fated race, now departed across the lake! but of all the tales, of all the stories I have, none truly can compare to my on trials, I am not a hero, but I have faced horrors no mere mortal should have to." I reach into my cloak and take out three of my knives and begin to juggle them while still facing the crowd
" and of the gods! how they see to torture me!" a fourth knife joins the others " ohh, how I pray! to the righteous Phaligne, the pious Ellitre, even the beautiful Farouglin! none to hear my plight, Simic, the trickster, Tarl, the strong
or even my matron, Kelepsi, the shining! daughter of truth and knowlege! the dark lords too, give me no sign. I am caught-" I grab one knife and balance another on the point, the next on the pommel of the second, and the fourth upon the pommel of the third for a count of three, then begin juggling them again.
" Know you that I am an orphan, a child unloved by the world" I slowly turn to face away from the eagerly listening crowd. a normal childhood, but when I was but a wee lad they just up and," I snatch the blades out of the air where the watchers can't see, deposit them in my cloak again and turn back to face the crowd with another flourish. "Vanished! leaving me with nothing, no one to comfort me. how cruel a thing! imagine, a child no more than seven, crying, lost in this open world, a quiet home, no longer! I walked, with nothing to my name but a small blanket, from Colmsville, for three years, oh how I walked, begging until I reached the smaal town of whisper, where I had my one respite, " I throw a pinch of powder into the lantern to change the colour to light green "a shimmer of joy in my otherwise dismal existence. A beautiful woman, truly a descendant of the worthy themselves! Meline, my teacher, my comforter, and my friend." I begin to walk down the bar, dancing and skipping " a loremaster, like myself, she taught me all that I know now. we travelled together everywhere, to all points of the map, even far east, across the lake of mist, to see the strange sights, men who walk only upon thier hands "
I stop walking, do a backflip to land on my hands and walk back to my lantern and stand up again. " winds, that could blow a man down the street!" i step back to teeter on the edge of the counter. " but kindness, unlike some folk in this world. upon our return, we wintered in Rockcharge city, home of the delvers, mighty men who craft great works from mere stone."
i get back into the middle of the bar and crouch to look everyone in the eyes, pointing around the room as I look, pointedly not looking at Rod "but as well as it is, there are some that seek only to cause harm, all kindness is invaritably repaid with unkindness. in the deep snows, my master and I spent time in a tavern, entertaining the miners. But one of the populace, a human was unpleased with our demeanor, we never harmed a soul, and we were some of the few the great dwarves welcomed, a stoic and surly people, hearts of gold. but the woman, Talien, a hurtful and vile woman, beautiful, if but for a scar on the back of her hand, thought only of destroying what little happiness I had achieved."
from my crouch I toss some powder into the flame to make it a dark red and do another backflip to lad behind the bar with only my eyes looking along it to my listeners " she caused a riot, a band of bloodseekers to rise from our new friends, she falsely accused us of degrading the great elven image, she labelled us blasphemers! In cold blood she killed my teacher, slaughtered her infront of me." I do a handspring up on top of the bar and land litting with the lamp between my legs, dangling down, a pinch of powder to change the colour to a shimmering dark blue.
"again! I was alone again! the one person I loved, taken from me! surely-" I my elbows on my knees and rest my head on my hands, as though weeping, " certainly, that woman, that poor, cruel woman was jealous, she had no friend as close as I did, she had no skill as my sweet Meline! I was captured, and for one whole week, i was tortured by her and her cronies, cruel and vile people, and no help did I recieve! the dwarves, whom we had entertained, and grown so close in such a short time,they did not question the murder, did not question my disapearance" I look up to the crowd " surely it is suspicious? it is not easy to leave the mines in the deep snows, but leave I did!" I jump up onto the bar and raise my hands to the roof " finally, after much pain, I escaped my bondage, with the aid of a small man, a halfling, he gave me this glorious cloak" flourish" and a few supplies, he freed me! I fled, deep into the snows, without a thing to my name, dessed only in my what I wear, deeper into the falling snow, living off bark and snow, freezing, amazing it was that i made it, to come north, rather than south, for beyond the mountains lies a death worse than any other.
I rushed, through the blizzard, hoping against hope, that I could escape, i know not if that creature of hate still follows me. since this winter, i have travelled here, poor and friendless, telling my stories for a crust and mayhaps a bed in the stable, nothing I had, to trade, or barter, turned away from most as I was deemed a vagrant. until I came here, the first true city I have seen in ages, it is certainly fine that you have recieved me with kindness, instead of swords. i thank you for hearing my tale, It has been good to tell it to someone who truly cares" and with a bow I tumble head first, off the counter, over the lamp simutaniously tossing some powder to make it burn fiercely white, place it on the ground and sit back in my stool.

Returning from my habitual position as scout I find my companions tromping across the open fields we have taken, instead of the much used road. With a sigh I say "your bulk rattles too much Sir Badtouch, it would be wiser for you to keep it down, a blind onelegged thorn deamon would have no trouble finding you." seeing that my slight reference to the beasts from the town startle the boy I turn on him.
"and you boy, how out of shape you are! you blow wind like Nistir, the North! you two are impossible, I would be sorely disapointed if you were to draw unwanted attention to me."
I crouch down and clear a patch of earth and directing thier attentions to the rudimentary map I create.
"now then, if you ignorant lot can get this through your thick skulls, pay attention, it may save your life. I have chosen this path for one excellent reason, up ahead lies the northmost tip of the Darkwoods, this area is surrounded with many myths and legend, it may be one of the most dangerous places on this plane."
I pause to draw our location and our surroundings on the ground.
"you are lucky however that I know the secret of the passage, we must travel only during the day, and cause no harm to the forest or its residents. You must follow me in all that I do, and for the love of Simic be quiet! No whining, no clinking no weezing and absolutely no talking! hand signals will be used. Questions? no? Good, I want to be in the fortest before midday, it won't take long to get through. And mind yourselves, we are being watched, two parties."
and with that I stand up, scratch out the drawing thouroughly and double pace it towards the trees.

The branches of the forest in front of us were so tight knit that the morning sun had trouble penetrating them, the whole atmosphere gave off an aura of gloom, to the untrained eye. To me it was beautiful.
Stopping just outside the edge of the grove I turn once more to my companions, good company, if a little useless. I whisper to them in a conspirational tone, " remember what I said, follow me, stay in sight of each other. I have lead, boy in the middle and sir Badtouch has the vaunted position of Vanguard. be respectful, The watchers are not favorable towards human presence. Now come. And put some dirt on that shirt if you want to live."
And with that I pull up my hood so that my cloak covered my entire body, I walked confidently into the forest, the shifting colors soon hiding me from sight.
"Hurry."

The trees, Beasts? "As I have noticed, but the kitsune won't be caught with his tail between his legs. Yes Boy, tell the people."
I step out from behind the tree that had been set aflame, having snuck out of sight during the proceedings.
" I would certainly like to here all accounts myself"

'so the rumors are true'
At the first appearance of the woodsman I pour the remaining whisky all over myself and leapup into the trees just as the wolves enter the grove. 'excellent timing again'
I call down to the strange plant man " nice to see you uji-san, we are in dire need of assistance, forgive the boy, it was the only way we knew to get your attention."
I climb through the grasping branches, barely avoiding it attempts to restrain me
" we came across that vagrant, we are but poor refugees, we had no manner in which to aid him. we knew tales of your kindness, and we knew that someone as wise in the world could understand this new threat to humanity better than any, help the man and spare the lad his ignorance, we have had trying times!"

"Shhh, boy, not so loud. What do you think I'm doing? i wouldn't leave a poor suffering fool to such a death, I was just about to cut him down you see, what would have happened if I had not come by? wolves, birds beasts, imagine being eaten alive, not a pleasant death"
I sidestep around the body lean forwards and say into his ear "we'll get you down buddy, hold still" then i wisper so only he and I can hear "hmmm ah, if you mess with me, you'll wish for the birds and beasts to devour you before I am done with you, understand Hmmm?"
and with that I step back and throw the knife so it cuts cleanly through the vine folding the body.
"thump!"
" Now what are we to do with him? he needs immediate care that you can't provide him with. I have an Idea but... meh, nevermind."

Pushing my agility and speed to the max I plow through the underbrush, making all effort to not leave a trace (this is what I do, I am very skilled at it). due to me distance ahead of the party I come across the trader first.
'My lucky day, a corpse with some coin.'
I stride up to the body and find that there is still a little life in it.
"hmmm, aahh. Unfortunate for you mmm? that I would be the one to find you. Fool."
I take a knife out and grab the man by his hair and pull his head forward.
"Now then, what to do with you hmmm?"
Using the knife I pin his shirt to the tree so that he is out of my way as I pick up his fallen money, all the while listening to the crash of my followers as they try to find me.
I stand back up after grabbing what could be found and say to the trader.
"mmmm, Don't look at me like that, if you weren't so useless you wouldn't have been in this situation. ah, Now, I have a deal for you! the price you have just paid is more than enough to save you from, hmmmm a long and, painful death of exposure. Heh, I guess I'll just finish you now then."
And just as I pull the knife back out to slit his throat my comrades join me.
'unfortunate'

"not a bad days work, this town seems wealthier than I thought" and with a quick glance around the dingy, dark bar I hurriedly put my money away. the small tavern, while offering a pleasant selection of cheap ale, was not high on the list of finest establishments. A small gathering of labourers were seated at an odd assortment of tables, swilling ale, trading stories or throwing dice. Two men sit upon a table set along the wall, playing a flute and a hammered dulcimer, the music is reminiscent of a person beating a baby with a cat, but the patrons don't seem to mind. "hey mac, give me another beer"
