Cloaked Mystery

@jonas @loopylin @rae

Ben Gunn and Flare – Rooftop gang

“Stay down you dirty bird,” Ben said as the last guard fell to the ground. He looked around, “Where did Felic… oh, whatever her name is go?”

“I don’t know,” Flare was panting, “I told them that they should leave to keep the kid safe.”

Ben nodded, “Makes sense. Should we try to find her?”

this is long, sorry

Brea– Elderstrand, Rooftop team

Brea gave a surprised shout as someone landed in front of her and knocked down the two men holding her. She stumbled back and tripped, landing in the mud. Another figure jumped over her while she was down and attacked the third man. Brea recognized the white hair i…[Read more]

It might help to get the first part of Group 1 (wounded, non-fighters, etc) to the river so we aren’t scrabbling to get everyone there after this side mission.

Ben Gunn and Flare – Elderstrand, Rooftop team

Ben and Flare looked at each other, Flare nodded. Ben gave a shout, “Tallyho!” Both leaped from the roof into the crowded street. Ben rushed to the last guard; their swords clashed with sparks.

Flare ran to the girl, “How are you lass? Hold still while I just…” *clank* F…[Read more]

Baron (Brutus) and Jenna—Elderstrand, Rooftop Team

Brutus caught sight of the girl, and the wind that whipped about him grew stronger. He helped Jenna the last bit to the rooftop, before acting. There was a blur as he rushed down to the guards, punching one in the chin, and kicking the other in the stomach.

I’ll…[Read more]

Felicity– Elderstrand, rooftop team

“Felicity.” She paused, looking carefully at each person with her. They were all complete strangers, yet they had blindly followed her into danger to help someone they had never met. Why?

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.”

@jonas @loopylin @rae

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.”

That’s your fault. You haven’t been doing them.

@jonas @ellette-giselle @hybridlore @grcr

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]
