Cloaked Mystery

Ben Gunn and Flare – Elderstrand, Rooftop team

Ben cracked his back, “Sure, since that’s all we ever get to do on this God forsaken world.”

Flare chuckled, “Is there ever a time when you’re not complaining?”

Ben cracked his neck, “A lot of different times, but mostly when I’m asleep.”

Flare snorted and shook his head. “…[Read more]

With Fel’s merry rooftop-leaping band

That is a fantastic name. Sounds like people who steal from the rich, give to the poor, and also play folk music on the side ✨

Felicity — Elderstrand, Rooftop team

Finally Benny stopped and took shelter under a tree. The rain had nearly washed him away so he was barely a smudge on the…[Read more]

Ben Gunn and Flare – Group 1, Rooftop following Fel

“Oh, alright.” Ben turned around and called to the lady in the front of their group. “Hey, miss! Where are we going?”

Baron (Brutus) and Jenna—With Fel’s merry rooftop-leaping band

Brutus did not appear to like Ben’s question. Jenny answered it before he could.

“No, Brutus is just a guy I give hand outs too every once in a while, when he shows up. We don’t know each other that well.”

Ben Gunn and Flare – Group 1, Rooftop following Fel

Ben turned around as Baron came back with a lady. “You have a girl?!” Flare gave him a side eye. “What? It’s a valid question.”

Okay, so the rest of Group 1 has to reach the river, right?

@jonas @beth-torres

Klethen — Elderstrand (w/ Ilahna, Everett, and Rina)

The creatures stepped forward, reduced, in the darkness, to ominous silhouettes. Klethen kept his eyes fixed on the weapon of the foremost one.

“I don’t even have a sword.” He said aloud. Not that it would have made any difference if he had – any armor worth having would h…[Read more]

@jonas @raxforge

I’ll think I’ll add Jenny with Baron.

Baron (Brutus)—with Felicity’s band, Elderstrand

As Brutus lept to another rooftop, his peripheral vision caught movement. He slightly slowed, seeing a braid and the edge of a tan skirt as someone tried to hide behind a corner. He halted, before leaping down…[Read more]

Marcel — Elderstrand (w/Group 1)

The hand motions were a little unfamiliar, but Marcel could guess from Leon’s expression that they weren’t in any immediate danger.

Marcel made the same hand motion. “We’re good.”

He was slightly dissatisfied with the answer, since Felicity and…[Read more]

Leon and Julian — Elderstrand (w/Group 1)

Leon’s expression clouded with worry as Marcel gestured to his ears. He can’t hear!

Marcel’s next words confirmed the suspicion. “Can’t hear. Are they close?”

Leon shook his head and gave Marcel the Imperial Military “a…[Read more]

Marcel — Elderstrand (w/Group 1)

Marcel strained, trying to listen to Leon’s reply. Something was very wrong with his ears. Hopefully it wasn’t permanent. The buzzing had escalated into a high-pitched siren.

“Monsters… Huge…” Then Leon shook his head.

Marcel winced and…[Read more]

Leon and Julian— Elderstrand (wsome of Group 1)

Leon watched as the girl raced off, followed by Ben, Flare, and Brutus. Or, was it Baron. Leon’s brows drew together. Something wasn’t right about him. whatever the case, Leon was secretly glad he was gone. though part…[Read more]

Marcel — Elderstrand (wsome of Group 1)

Felicity said something to him, but her voice sounded like a faint buzz underwater. No matter, she was clearly leaving, and a bunch of the group followed close behind.

Marcel watched the white braids fly off, brow furrowed in worry. He…[Read more]

Ben Gunn and Flare – Group 1, Rooftop following Fel

Flare’s eyes widened in shock, was he really wrong. Well, not he, but the spell… or ability… whatever you want to call it. But the spell was only wrong once, and that was because it was his first time casting it. Flare recalled Baron’s reaction; He’s trying to hide s…[Read more]

Baron (Brutus)—Group 1, about to follow Fel.

“My name isn’t Baron!” Brutus hissed, pushing Flare away. “Whatever you think you saw, you were wrong!”

Brutus’s attention  was then caught by the girl who he was going to follow, He took her “try to keep up” as a little…[Read more]

Felicity

“I don’t have time for a conference!” Everyone in this group seemed so distracted. She was ready to just leave on her own, but the tiniest ghost of a sense of survival made her hesitate a few seconds.

“What… Where are you going?” Marcel was up. Or at least tryin…[Read more]

Marcel — Elderstrand (w/Group 1)

Pain rung in Marcel’s skull; he felt as if something had woken him up, but he couldn’t hear anything. His ears were definitely bleeding, since his rose-colored hair had begun to clump with a darker color.

Everything was numb. Dark, wet, and…[Read more]
