This is a RP about a world terrorized by undead fiends.... But with a dark twist.
In a world set in the dark ages of the Salem witch trials, a small village called Darkwood is terrorized by the Hallowed, a horrifying illness that transforms people and creatures into beastly creatures. While the nearby kingdom of the Holy Church does very little to aid Darkwood in these hard times, a group of hunters, raised from childbirth to be killers, have journeyed to the town in search for the Moonlight Crucible, a mystic tool of myth that is said to be able to heal any infliction. However, a tool of such power can only be found in the grove that cages Darkwood, The Hallow's Grove. Defend the town from monsters, make enemies with the Holy Church, find the Moonlight Crucible, and discover secrets behind the lore of the world, as well as other otherworldly presences.
Rules
*Up to Ten Players
*You can have as many characters as you want, but your main character needs to be a hunter with a reason for seeking the Moonlight Crucible.
*Magic is allowed, but you will probably be prosecuted by the Holy Church and accused of witchcraft.
*Character sheets for all of your characters :D
Enjoy, and let the hunt begin...

-
((Alright!, looks like we've got enough hunters to start! More people can join in if they want, also. Let the hunt begin...)
"Burn the witch!" Cried an angry voice as a crowd of flurries wearing mangy clothing who were gathered at the center of town. Welding pitchforks and torches, they circled around a young, beautiful rabbit girl in a blue dress who was tied up on a wooden stake. She looked unconscious.
The town the villagers were in was very old, being made up of shaggy buildings and dirt roads. However, the one building that looked remotely nice looking was the church, which had a quote engraved above the front door that read, "Fear the Hallow"
"One bad apple." A voice suddenly spoke, silencing the crowd of angry villagers, "One bad apple it all that it takes to ruin an entire barrel!"
It was the voice of an old raccoon, with gray fur and sunken eyes. He wore black church clothing and, like the rest of the village, had yellow teeth. He held an old, moldy apple on his hand, in which he dropped onto the ground and stomped on it with a growl. "This child has demonstrated witchcraft, and has again brought sin upon our humble town! In the name of our sacred Lord, his child must be punished! Sacrificed to the Hallow!"
With that, the town began to hear as their preacher spoke. As he spoke though, the preacher was looking up at the large clock that was on the church, and grinned as it approached midnight...
-
She could feel the heavy weight of the iron cross collar she wore around her neck, the symbol of her purity in this dark time, grow heavy. This town, and many like it, had been overcome by the witch-hunting craze.
Fear... she knew it too well. When she walked in to the church for the first time in her youth, the pastor and priests reeked of it. She moved through the angry mob, her brimmed had tight over her head, her armored overcoat resting over her form. As she got up to the front she saw the young rabbit, terror in her eyes. She saw no wickedness in her... yet. She needed to know for herself.
"And pray, Father," she shouted above the fervor as she stepped out of the crowd. "Is this child's sin? What witchcraft has she wrought?" she said, the trappings of a Hunter clear on her clothing.
-
The crowd was stunned by the fox, while the preacher leisurely turned around and grinned. "Do you question the commands of our Lord?" He asked, pulling his book out from his sleeve, "This child was caught demonstrating witchcraft, an act influenced only by the wickedness of the Hallow! And now, she will pay for this sin by being sacrificed the very thing she was worshiping!"
The crowd cheered from the preacher's words, in which one woman cried out, "Witches are the offspring of the Hallow!"
-
She grinned, stepping closer to the old raccoon.
"For rebellion is as the sin of divination, and insubordination is as iniquity and idolatry..." she said, quoting the scriptures of the book he held. "Tell me Father, as wise a leader as you, for what crime has she commited? What branch of witchcraft hast she used? Or has she been pulled forth for no reason other being in the wrong place at the wrong time, as many are."
She grinned, still hiding her deformities by her cloak and hat, waiting to drop her trump card on this mass if necessary. She felt the handle of her crossbow under the cloak... just in case...
"If this child had indeed committed sin, and is irredeemable, then I will put her down to myself and you can have your orgy of hatred and death."
-
The Doc was wandering around town when the bruning was taking place..This sadden him to see someone die..and worse yet, he can't use the corspe for his medical research. Now as he walked to the hoard of mindless fur's he saw the precher preach once more...however someone is fighting this...
Interresting..maybe now is a good time to try and help...but it would be good to watch and see were this takes, before action happens..
-
The preacher was silent as his smile dropped. As a sliver of sweat came down his forehead, he looked onto the crowd and saw confused faces. Would their all-knowing father give this stranger an answer? Suddenly, the preacher's thoughts were interrupted when the bunny girl began to speak through her tears.
"I... Just wanted to..." She said, whimpering, "To... s-save him..... my brother... H-he was so sick, and the preacher wasn't h-helping him."
"SILENCE, SINNER!!!" The preacher screamed in rage, pointing his boney finger at her. He looked up at the clock to see that it was almost at midnight, and grinned.
"The beast will be here, soon." He suddenly said with a twisted grin, throwing the crowd into a panic.
-
Dr.Zed wasn't going to let this happen..since this time he has help...or at least he hoped so..Soo tappeing his cane as he walked next to his smart girl and flicked his trench coat while his voice was muffed and had a german accsent..
"I must agree, as a man of medicine I understand what is witchcraft and what is nature.." He grinned under his mask as he took a glance at this preacher...
-
She frowned, noting the preacher's fear, stepping up on the platform with him.
"The beast?" she said cautiously, going on a hunch. "What beast? What kind of creature have you brought here, preacher. You lead the crowd to a frenzy right at midnight... to have a human sacrifice." she muttered under her breath, glaring at him, then turned to the crowd.
"WHICH OF YOU KNOW THIS CHILD'S WRONGDOING? SPEAK, FOR YOUR PREACHER WHO YOU TURN TO HAS LOST HIS VOICE. IF YOU CANNOT, THEN BY MY ANCIENT ORDER THAT HUNTS THE DARKNESS, WE WILL HAVE A FAIR TRIAL. LET IT BE THAT NO INNOCENT WILL DIE WHILE THE REDEEMER HAS COME." she boomed out to the masses. It was flashy, she knew, but the only way to know anything for certain would be in a calm, collected, environment. This mob mentality would just get people killed.
-
She was met by silence, for the crowd, other than the belief of "witchcraft" being associated with the Hallow, had no clue that the bunny girl had done.
"P-people!" the preacher then called in a faintly panicked tone, stepping in front of the huntress, "The Lord is testing us! For seven months, we have protected this town from the Hallow, and from the beast that plagues us, by presenting a sinner as a sacrifice. And now, this woman insists on abandoning our duties and put ourselves at the mercy of the beast!"
-
The doctor couldn't help but snicker at this display and suprised by the wise words of this fur..Soo he tought that to add salt to the wound, though he couldn't since after wards he'll most likely put a herb on the wound, but nevermind that..
He took a couple of steps forward and cleared his throat.."Dear preacher, I respect your beliefs..But tell me this...When we have a pest. We remove it.. When he have a problem..we deal with it, instead oh letting it grow..So to let people be in fear of a beast, instead of removing it jsut seems unwise and foolish.." He said in his calm and relaxed voice..
Even though he perfer a bit of blood shed, but now isn't the time or place for such..
-
Though the newcomer spoke true, she frowned, now knowing what the preacher had intended. Stepping to his side, she hefted out her book, a large metal and leather bundle, strapped to her side by chains.
"And he burned his son as an offering and used fortune-telling and omens and dealt with mediums and with necromancers. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking him to anger." she read, looking to the preacher.
"Or has your village elder forgotten, human sacrifice to appease any being is a sin in the eyes of our Lord." she looked to the book again, reading: "You shall not worship the Lord your God in that way, for every abominable thing that the Lord hates they have done for their gods, for they even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods."
She snapped the book shut at the last word and turned to the preacher, righteousness in her eyes.
"Would thou condemn your soul and the souls of your flock to the appeasement of some dark creature? Would thou condemn your souls to the fires of hell for all eternity? No. I will not have that, not when you may be redeemed, old one. I was once redeemed for the heresy of existing. If that is the case, I know too this child and your flock, and yes even you yourself Father, can be redeemed."
She pulled off her hat, her horns, the birth defects they were, showing now in the firelight. "My name is Inquisitor Rhosyn Ilwynog, condemned and brought forth from the darkness, slayer of the night's minions. Perhaps you have heard of me?" she said grinning.
That one was always a crowd pleaser.
((Yay, I love Lawful Good!! :D ))
-
Ray smiled after Rhosyn's speech, and nodded. "Well spoken, Inquisitor. Couldn't have said it better myself." He watched the child that was to be sacrificed, and his paw tensed about his rapier hilt.
-
((Sorry about the wait DX. Btw, +2 for being awesome, Rhosyn :D))
The preacher looked at the doctor, then at the unworldly fox with eyes that screamed outrage. The villagers though, gazed at the fox with eyes of awe. From her deep cutting words, many broke into tears, while two walked to the girl and began to untie her. While that was happening, the villagers were crowding around the fox and reached our their arms to feel her arms. She was the very thing the preacher had convinced them to fear, and now, she was a messenger to them.
As the bunny girl was gently placed down by the two villagers, exhausted and shaken up, the preacher looked up at the clock and said, "Damn you all!", running back to the church and locking the door behind him.
-
Rhosyn crossed herself. "May the Lord have pity on you, Father."
She turned to the little girl, and crouched down to her level. "Now, little one, what has everyone in a tizzy? You spoke of your brother, and something you did. If you are willing to allow me to assist you, perhaps we can find a way of healing him." she looked up at the one who called himself a doctor, and smiled. "I believe there is hope yet. Would you kindly tell me what you did?"
-
"I... tried a spell that my mother used to heal the sick..." The girl responded, wiping her eyes, "She taught me how to use it... I tried to use it to heal my brother; he's very sick. My mother couldn't heal him because." She then gazed at the stake she was tied up to, and bursted into tears. As she cried, the church bell began to ring a eerie tone, as the villages began to retreat back to their homes, boarding their doors and windows with wooden planks, and arming themselves with knives, farming tools, and guns.
-
Rhosyn flicked an ear at the villagers, watching the movement of the villagers.
"Can you take me to him? We may be able to heal him." looking up she saw the other two who had spoken out against the preacher.
"Doctor, is it? And you, with the blade. Your assistance may be needed. Let's see what darkness plagues this town."
She looked back to the girl. "I promise you will not be condemned for trying to heal the sick, whatever means you used. There is darkness afoot and any light within it is welcome. You can trust me."
-
The bunny girl hugged the fox as she then said, tears still running down her cheeks, "Thank you... for saving me."
SCREEEEEEEEEACH!!!!!
A loud, almost unworldly screeched boomed from the forest, causing birds to scatter and wildlife to flee. Judging on how loud the screech was, the beast was about a mile and a half away. The girl's arched arched up and her face streaked of horror as she then ran to a nearby shed and hid inside.
(we should wait for the others)
-
Ray drew a silver plated flintlock pistol, which were more-or-less rifles that were cut down to pistol size, and tensed. "Something wicked this way comes."
-
((Wheep wheep wheep! Random encounter time!))
Rhosyn stood, marking in her mind where the bunny girl ran off to, and faced the direction of the sound.
"By the pricking of my thumbs..." she murmered and smiled, pulling off her cloak and lifting the heavy crossbow from her side. It was a mammoth machine, built especially for her four arms to handle, the large barrel drum of bolts fastened tightly. It could fire fast, but was a jerk to reload. Two huge crosses adorned the sides, and the sides of the bow doubled as blades. She whispered a prayer under her breath.
Under the cloak, all four of her arms, covered in leather armor clasps, were visible. Her body armor fully covering her in leather and metal, adorned with pages of scripture and holy symbols. On her back was a two handed mace, for those up close and personal moments. Torches and two small wooden barrels of bolts were attached to her back. Her book still hung loose at her side, dangling on a pair of chains.
"I assume the two of you have fought the darkness before. Come, lets see if this will be the end of our light, or the dawn of another tomorrow."
-
((should we wait for Rasha?))
-
(What has happened so far?)
-
((Sure, I think Rasha needs to be part of this.
Talia, basically a mob was going to burn a girl at the stake, but we stopped it and now everyone is running and arming due to some monstrosity on it's way to us))
-
A small shape moved in the darkness watching the scene unfold.
-
(Ok, sorry I fell asleep on my desktop XD )
Dr.Zed was bursting in a almost a madman like laughter as he jumped back and slid out a long and slender blade out oh his cane and flipped it around and made it hit the ground cuaseing sparks as his masks eyes glows in that creepy red.."I belive the beast of burden will meet it's final fight and be my newest play thing, and it's blood will be my power, and it's flech my newest master piece!"
He kept luaghing until he realised that he was getting odd looks and as almost like a switch he get's back in his calm and relaxed sane figure as he flicks his cape as waits for this beast.."And yes, healing is something I do. However I need resouces, which I have, but perfer not to damaged soo.." He takes his medical sackle off and lays it on the floor next to a house..
-
((Ayyy! Welcome back :D))
A bone-chilling silence swept the town, a faint prayers were being made within the houses. The grown shook as the beast approached the down, hidden within the woods. Suddenly, a massive mass leaped from the forest and landed on the church, peering it's head around the church tower as it held onto it. It was a beast beyond words....
It glared down at the hunters with it's lifeless eyes, wondering if they were the sacrifices the town presented to it.
((The beast looks like this http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/bloodborne/images/1/1a/Cleric_beast_concept_art.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140921062528 (http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/bloodborne/images/1/1a/Cleric_beast_concept_art.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140921062528) ))
-
((Ooooooh its pretty :D also, great evil doctor RP there Rasha. Quick OOC knowlege question, what is that thing? Is it something one of us may have seen before?))
"I believe your herbs may be needed for more than just the child's brother..."
She looked at the monster coldly, calculating the strategy needed to take it down. It wouldn't do to keep it up there... they needed to keep it on the ground where it didn't have a height advantage. If it had some ranged attack, it was in a great position to pelt them from on high. Depending on what it's last meal was, if the preacher indeed had been feeding it sacrifice, would depend on it's power level...
"Friends, we need to get that thing down here. Fan out so we can give it more than one target to focus on. We may be able to widdle it down, but I want as few collateral casualties as possible." she took a step back, fanning the ground with her tail, muscles relaxed but ready to spring into action.
-
The beast had it's eyes glued onto the hunters as it stood atop of the church, as if it was waiting for one of the hunters to make the first move. After what seemed to be an eternity of silence, the beast made another ear-piercing screech and grabbed the church bell. It then flung it at the three with it's larger arm.
-
"Incoming!" she shouted, moving out of the way of the bell, still waiting to fire her crossbow until there was a better shot. Hopefully the creature would come down instead of just throwing bits of the church at them. It would be easier to tackle on the ground than in on the higher vantage point.
"Creature of darkness!" she shouted "I command thee to come down! If thou needest sacrifice, ye will find it harder to manage this night! Come! Take your prize!"
Her mentor had told her once never to goad the darkness in pride, for it would lead to a swift death, but she wasn't doing it to boast. A memory of her arguing with her mentor about strategic boasting flickered in the back of her head, a happy memory in a death filled world.
It was a gamble, but hopefully a well placed one.
-
The Doc mobed with speed and sytle as he jumped to his left and slides away from the bell and jumped up to sipn around.."Releash!" Then his sword cane, turns into a metal whip as he spon so when he lands it turns into the whip and makes a arther flashy show..."Hello fonda." >:3
-
"Incoming!" she shouted, moving out of the way of the bell, still waiting to fire her crossbow until there was a better shot. Hopefully the creature would come down instead of just throwing bits of the church at them. It would be easier to tackle on the ground than in on the higher vantage point.
"Creature of darkness!" she shouted "I command thee to come down! If thou needest sacrifice, ye will find it harder to manage this night! Come! Take your prize!"

It was a gamble, but hopefully a well placed one.
The beast made another screech as it then, used it's larger arm, smacked the church tower out of the way with little effort and leapt down from the church to claim what it thought was it's sacrifices. An arrogate choice that will cost it's life.
-
'Yes,' she thought. 'It fell for it. Perhaps more bestial than human intelligence.'
"Surround it, lets work with it. Doctor, flank right, swordsman, left." she called, raising her crossbow and whispering a soft prayer under her breath, blessing the arrows.
"May your bolts fly true, and find their marks."
With that she tugged on the trigger and the repeating crossbow let out a hail of small bolts at the creature, peppering it with shots. They were custom bolts, one's she had made herself, with iron tips, small cross shapes on it, and blessed by a priest from another town over. She hoped the creature would be affected by iron as a side effect, but if not the metal barbs should do the trick to distract the creature until her comrades could start their attacks.
-
The doc nodded and quickly move to it's right and slid under its arm as he stood up and flipped the sword whip and stuck once, twice and the thrid before making a roll to dodge the beasts strikes..
(When a beast comes along, You must whip it! When preachers take to long..You must whip it!..Whip it good! XD )
-
As the beast snarled in a mindless rage as it swatted at the doctor, It felt two arrows pierce it's skin. One arrow had landed on its knee while the other one landed on it's shoulder. The beast stopped attacking to doctor to pull out the arrows. Villagers from within their homes watch the fight, shocked to see that the hunters were surviving this long.
This would be the perfect time for the hunters to land a good assault on the distracted beast.

(The RP has been quiet... Too quiet XD))
-
(Everything happens when I'm at school. D:
The shadows came alive under the beasts feet as black tendrils wrapped around its legs. A pair of red eyes glow from the bushes.
-
((Sorry I didn't see the update!!))
Rhosyn fires the last bolts out of her drum, then charges the distracted beast, whipping her huge warhammer out and slamming it down on the creature's head with a cry.
-
Ray sheathed his rapier, and started rapidly firing his flintlocks at the beast, hoping to kill it.
-
The beast screeched as it felt the tentacles wrap around it's legs, and began to pull and rip them off while it tried to block the incoming bullets with it's smaller arm. When it looked back up, it's head was slamed against the ground by the large hammer. Although dazed for a moment, it then tried to slam it's larger arm onto the demon fox.
-
More tentacles wrapped around the beast in order to restrict its movements. Where these tentacles were coming wasn't obvious but the red eyes seemed to be glowing even brighter as they attacked.
-
Rhosyn leapt back from the beast's lunge, knowing it couldn't go far with it's legs entangled, and swung again, aiming for the head.
"Down beast! Down!"
-
The beast, as it was being beaten by the great hammer, continued to try and swat at the fox. With it's boy bounded together and it's head low enough, the hunters could focus all of their strength on the beast's head.
-
(Wheeeeeee smashy time!)
She went into a zealous fervor, slamming the hammer home over and over, trying to put down this beast for good.
-
((Ima gonna wait for the others, so that they can get in on the fun XD))
-
((Fine with me, no rush ^^))
-
Ray drew his rapier, and charged into the fray.
-
The beast's eyes suddenly erupted with red energy as it then, with much of it's strength, ripped it's way out of the tentacles again and began to violently slam and pound it's fists onto the hunters, trying to hit them. It's head was badly beaten, but the beast still had some fight left.
-
The Doc had be shatted earlier and had be sliding on the floor, until he got up and moved quickly while slaming his whip on the ground to once again, make it back into it's sword form and stuck at the beast's ankles. Which he saw that his sackle of herbs was almost smashed so he stuck his cane blade into it's leg and ran..
He ran dodgeing or avoiding his teammates attacks or the beasts mindless rage and finally with a mighty leap, he got to his sackle as picked it up and tried to find a good place to set it as the battle raged on..
-
Ray stabbed at the beast's eye, hoping to get some form of damage on it.
-
The beast screeched in rage as it became overwhelmed by the countless attacks, and turned around to make an attempt to retreat back into the forest.
-
She couldn't let a superb research moment like this slip by her, so she charged forward, aiming her blows at the creatures legs, aiming to immobilize it.
-
Zed was not going to let his flesh pund get away, and even more so since it has his cane blade stuck in its leg. So letting the sackle drop he quickly charged forth and held on the handle to try and pull it out while his team mate tried to stop it's movement.
-
The arrows penetrated the beast's legs and caused it to nearly trip over. Turing around with a violent snarl, it pulled the cane sword from it's knee and charged straight at the fox with it's horns aimed straight at her. However, she saw that in a small spot on the beast's head, there was a patch of short fur and visible skin.
-
She grinned. She loved moments like this. With a twist of the handle, the bottom of the large two handed hammer turned into a long spike. As it got closer, she leapt up, swinging the point directly into the bald patch, praying under her breath for protection and that her aim would be true.
-
It's screech was silenced at the great beast went limp and fell to the ground before the fox. Black goo came out of its head as the beast that tormented this town for seven months, was finally slain. The preacher saw this from with the church, peering through the window, and said under his breath, "No!"
-
The doctor got his cane sword back and turned around to take off his madk from others eyes and lick the goo oh his fallen foe then quickly puts it back on and slides the cane blade back into it's ho,der and walked to the corspe and chuckled..
"No one is useing this right?"
-
Standing there, she yanked her hammer out of the creature, wiping off the spike with a cloth.
"There we are... another creature banished back to the darkness from whence it came." she frowned looking over it, and turned towards the townsfolk hidden away.
"This, my friends, is the face of your enemy, slain before your eyes. Together, you can accomplish great things, even if you feel yourself to be small and few. The Lord rewards those who do good for the righteous and protection of all!" she raised her hammer over her head, it's decorations and trappings of the holy origin of it's forging gleaming in the firelight.
"There is a terrible darkness descending on this land, and we shall not see it ended in our lifetimes. Therefor, my friends, kin, children... brothers and sisters in this world, the blindfold has fallen from your eyes. A fire is lit: is it a lamp perched over the inscription upon an ancient blade? Or a roaring conflagration consuming the house in which the howling fiends wait?
Things will never be the same after this. Fight back the shadows. You can hide away from it and let it consume you, or you can be like the Lord has taught us, and light the torch against the darkness. It can, and it will be defeated, so take faith in the Lord, your brother and sister next to you, and the torch in your hands!"
-
The townsfolk slowly creeped out of their homes and walked up to the dead monster to get a closer look at it. Then, with teary eyes and hope-filled hearts, they began to cheer, raising their weapons up.
"This calls for a celebration!" One of the villagers cheered, "Let us hang the beast's head over the church and have a feast of ages!!!"
As the crowd continued to cheer and look at the dead monster, the preacher slowly came out of the church and tried to sneak away from everyone, heading towards the horse stables.
-
((Would my character notice the priest leaving? I don't want to metagame))
-
((Your character can notice him if you want, but it's up to her on how she reacts and what she says/does))
-
The doctor was a bit a shamed when he toke notice of the cheer and praise, but he went to it's corpse and pet it's coat..."ugh...Sometimes I just want to be a beast myself...The blood, the sweet taste of victory...no...I must not crave....but I do....errrr....now is not the time...evil must be punished and wounds must be patched..." He wispered to himself while entering his own world and zoned out the world around him..
-
Rhosyn turned, and noticed the priest moving through the crowd. She pushed through it, her hammer still out by her side, and grabs the priest with her two right hands, lifting him up.
"Running away are we, Father. I think you and I need to chat first." she said, growling. "Tell me... what do you know of this creature."
-
The preacher yelped from being lifted up and said as his legs squirmed, "I-I was just trying to protect this town from the sinister forces of the Hallow! It was the Lord's command that a sacrifice was to be given to the Hallow, was you only way to please it! and then you... children of Perdition, came into our town and poisoned our privacy. We're all doomed i tell you, DOOMED!!!"
The preachers words confused the villagers, much to the preacher's dismay. It was obvious that he was hiding something.
-
((Question, I believe I'm currently holding the preacher, but if not I understand))
-
((Oh crap! sorry about that XD. At the very moment I posted it said that you posted at the same time. Want me to edit my post?))
-
((it would make sense, I would appreciate it :D))
-
((It's fixed :D))
-
The doctor kept talking to himself and petted the corpse some more not even caring about the preacher and his words of lies..
-
"Privacy to sacrifice the innocent to the darkness? The Lord does not command ever to succumb to the darkness in such a way."
A sadness fell on her face. "Father, I am a Zealot of the holy church, an Inquisitor. You can tell me what has happened. What force convinced you of this need to sacrifice the pure of blood and heart. Your sins will be redeemed."
She lowers him to the ground, hand still on his collar but no longer holding him aloft. "What vision of our Lord told you of this, Father? What darkness clouds your mind. Had we not come along, that beast would have killed another, and continued to do so for many more months, if not years. Privacy in this sense is the breeding ground of the Dark one's work. I can promise you that I am not of this Perdition you speak of. Tell me, Father. Why do you speak of doom and destruction, one follower of the path to another?"

The raccoon's face was twisted in rage, but then he gave in as finally said, lowering her head, "It was on the night when the beast first attacked our town. It braught a force beyond any storm, any drought we've endured, and left behind a path of death. My wife... Was one of the many it cut down. And on that same night... A woman in red, visited my home."
-
I stop wispering to myself to focous on that this preacher had to say since it now might be truth, so I tapped my cane and walked over to this wise worded gal..
-
"Your grief is worthy, Father, and your choices speak of that grief and suffering. Please. Continue. This specter in red?"
She looked sorrowful, but merciful, looking the father in the eyes and holding his gaze softly.
-
She was young, and beautiful," he continued, "Almost like a specter, she came out of nowhere. When she spoke to me, she said that... Dark times were aprotching, and that the Holy Church wouldn't protect us forever. She also told me that the Lord has abandoned us... And that the Hallow demanded blood... oceanic amounts of it, if I recall. Before she left, she told me her name, and to remember it..."
-
She felt the fur on the back of her neck rise.
"The Lord has not abandoned you. My quest links with yours, and the Lord worked it so that I... and it seems these other heroes... are here to bring your town from the darkness. What was the specter's name?"
-
"She called herself... Bloody Marry..." He replied. His voice has gone soft from saying the woman's name, as if he felt an unworldly chill just by thinking about the red dress she wore upon entering his home that night.
-
Rhosyn grimaced. She had heard rumor's of that creature in other cities and villages. It had eluded her, but it was most certainly known to her.
"You speak truth, Father. Please, stay. I know your fear is deep, but trust me when I say we can deliver this place from the Hallow."
She smiled. "You have done as your concious has told you, and though your actions are misguided, you did the best as you thought for your people. There is honor in that. However your sin is great. It will be time and honest deeds that will absolve you of that sin."
She looked grim. "Father, are you willing to absolve yourself of this sin of human sacrifice by any means necessary?"
-
After a pause, the preacher finally said with his voice low, "Yes, I am."
-
She smiled, hope in her eyes.
"Then rise again Father. I deputize you as a holy warrior in this town. If you impress in my eyes, and in the eyes of our Lord, you and your loved ones will be spared from the darkness you have wrought yourself. Loose that faith, and I will drag you kicking and screaming into the abyss myself."
She reached into her coat and pulled out a small Iron holy symbol, pinning it on the father's chest. "Your duty is to your people. They are the ones you must apologize to first. Redeem yourself in their eyes father. That is the only way."
-
"Yes..." Was all the preacher said as he grabbed the iron symbol. His eyes were gazing off into the sky as he then slowly make his ay back to the chuch silently, gently closing the door behind him.
The townsfolk had already decapitated the beast's corpse and were in the prosess of turing it into an ornament. The bunny girl peeked from we hiding place and, eyes widening, saw the beast's dead body.
-
Rhosyn knelt down to the girl.
"It is safe, child. You may come out now." she said, a weariness showing slightly on her features.
"Doctor, would you come here please? There is much work to be done."
-
"Th-thank you... for everything..." She replied, whipping her eyes from realizing that the nightmare that tormented her home, the sacrifices that took her mother, had finally ended.
"M-my brother is just over here." She then said, waiting for the doctor to fallow.
-
Ray sheathed his rapier, and shook his head. "What's next?"
-
(What happened?)
-
((Right now we are waiting for the doctor, but we smashed the beastie, all thanks you you talia :D ))
-
((Indeed! :D))
-
(Never fight my character at night since her powers are based on shadow. )
The red eyes had disappeared when the beast fell but minutes later a black Silivan girl came into view down the path. She was known to townsfolk as Reyela, a girl who lived with her mother in a forest cabin not to far from the town. Her mother was an alchemists
"Is everything alright!? What...what is that?" She said with fear in her voice as she pointed at the beast.
-
Zed took one good look at the beast and licked his beak .."It's blood tastes or fruit and sugar..And yes...I'll go.." He turned around to flick his clothes and walked with one hand behind his back.
-
"Yeah, the Hunters killed it!" One of the villagers called over to the Silivan girl, "We're handing it's head up over at the church!"
The bunny girl led the two to her home, which was a small cottage made of planks of wood and clay. She let the hunters enter her home, and led them to her brother, who lay in his bed with a warm cloth over his head.
"He's really sick." The said, sitting down at a nearby chair, "I've tried to use healing magic on him, but mine isn't strong enough. And I don't have any medicine..."
-
The doc was quite but went over to him and poked his skin and rubbed his arms and after a while of watching and thinking. Then he takes a root and breaks it to have it's juices pour on his skin and places a rose leaf onto a wound with the root juice.."This..may sting, but at least it will make copeing easier.."
-
The bunny girl's brother moaned for a moment, then calmed down as the root juice did it's work on the wound on his arm.
"W-what it that?" The bunny girl asked.
-
The doc looks back and takes a container of blood.."It's a Gunger root..helps with pain and stress and the leaf closes wounds..now what color is your brothers blood?" He looks back at him and rubbed his head.."What is wrong with your brother?"
-
((I'm back :D. Had to start a batch of sauce for dinner)
"His blood is red." She replied with a raised eyebrow, "A-and he was out on the pastors collecting corn when he scratched his arm on a rusty scythe. He's been bed ridden since then, w-with a fever."
-
(I understand.)
I nod as I look back and feel like a dummy for not seeing this before..all he needed was a bite of Day bloom flower and some rest..Soo I took a bowl and mashed up a Day bloom flower and set the mush in a glass I got from the closeest cabnet..
"Ok miss, feed this to your brother, and in the moring he will be healed, but not in working condtion.. Soo he need to be easy going for a cuople of days. But he'll be fine."
-
Rhosyn smiled. "Thank you doctor. You are indeed helping."
She took a look around and found a small chair, setting herself down in it gently. She loved the thrill of the fight, but it took a toll on her body some times. Smiling sweetly at the girl, she asked. "Do you by any chance have a glass of water? I'm rather parched..."
-
"Th-thank you." She replied, going to a cabinet to grab a spoon and the sitting on the edge of her brother bed to feed him. She then grabbed a glass from another cabinet and, from an old sink, poured Rhosyn a glass of water and gave it to her.
She then looked back at the hunters and said, "My name is Susy, and my brother is Tobby." After giving her brother a spoon full of the medicine, she put the bowl aside and then said, "I'm happy that the Lord sent you people to this village to save us... I feel a lot better knowing that the sacrifices have been put to an end."
-
Rhosyn drank and felt her energy return to her slowly.
"You did well. The lord sees the suffering and sends His agents to heal that which is dying or lost. Like the father." she ruffled the bunnies hair affectionately.
"It is a dark time we live in, but if we all work together, we can keep the light held aloft."
-
Suso chuckles as the huntress ruffles her hair, but her ears then pick up when she hears a new voice from outside.
"What on earth!?" The voice yelled, as if shocked from seeing something.
-
Rhosyn stood up.
"What did you hear child?"
-
Susy went over to the door and looked out side to see a skunk dressed in a fancy white and red uniform, gazing at the beast's corpse as the townsfolk had finished putting its head on the church. The skunk road on a horse and carried a brown bag around his shoulder.
-
Rhosyn looked over her shoulder and stepped outside to see the rider.
((Do I know what uniform they are wearing?))
-
(( It's like this, but the coat/pants are white and the shirt is red http://bloodborne.wiki.fextralife.com/file/view/student_uniform.jpg/545542684/student_uniform.jpg (http://bloodborne.wiki.fextralife.com/file/view/student_uniform.jpg/545542684/student_uniform.jpg) ))
The messenger the pulled a scroll from the bag and red it out loud, adjusting his glasses, "The Holy Church has called out to its hunters to gather at the Cathedral for an important meeting. The meeting will begin shortly, and it is vital that the hunters who serve the Holy Church attend to this meeting."
-
The dcotor slowly walked by and rubbed his head.
-
((I was wondering if this was a Bloodborne esque RP XD ))
Rhosyn looked to Susy.
"Better get inside and tend to your brother, child. This looks important."
She hooked her hammer on her back again, stepping outside. She wondered what the newest threat to the world was.
-
((It is, in fact XD))
The messages noticed Aegisthus and asked, "O-oh! I asume that you are a huntress?"
-
The doctor chuckled as he took his time walking to the messager and watched him and his team mate as he did take notice how much being a hunter meant and how it felt to be a beast and a savour..Ahhh to think oh what the world would be like without him.. Now ether way he had to be careful with this and the allys around him, since he doesn't want to lose their trust..after all.. He perfer that they are not his next medical tests...
-
Rhosyn nodded.
"Yes indeed. What is the meaning of this meeting?"
-
"The Holy Church has announced that they made a revolutionary discovery, and that the meeting will revoke around this discovery." The messenger said, putting the scroll away as he then said to Rhosyn, "I don't know about you, but this could be a big deal. Do you have any method of transportation?"
-
The doc tapped his foot, knowing the answer, at least for him was his two featherly legs but maybe this girl has more then words..
-
(Times zones are kicking me right now. I am having trouble keeping up with all this. :S)
-
Rhosyn nodded. "I have a steed. How far is the church? In these dark times it would be safer to get a convoy there."
-
"True, but unfortunately none were available." The messenger replied, "But I know a quick way to return to the Holy Church."
-
There was a knock on the door.
-
Ray took a seat on a nearby bench, and sighed. He began the slow and methodical process of reloading his pistols.
-
"Are you ready, ma'am?" the messenger then asked, "You'll get in trouble with the church if you don't attend to this meeting."
-
The doc tapped his cane.."What sbout me fonda?"
-
The messenger looked over and asked, "Are you a strong hunter like Rhosyn?"
-
Zed couldn't help but smile under his mask.. Which he flicked his coat and tapped his caned."Oh course..I'm Doctor Zed, slayer of evil and healer of life. Plus I helped deafeat that monster in the town. Did I not?"
-
"Ah, very good!" The messenger said with a smile, then calling out, "If there are any other hunters in this town, you are welcome to come!"
-
Rhosyn looked around to the town. Celebration was high, the priest, hopefully, had learned his lesson, and after the meeting she would swing by and check up on them. She had faith that everything would be okay.
"Yes, messenger, I am prepared. I will gather my steed and I will meet you here."
She turned back to the cottage, going to Susy.
"Child, I will be gone for a time, but I trust this doctor's word and I will be checking in on you and your village again. If anything goes wrong, I will be the the cathedral ((insert direction of cathedral here)). Send help there if you need it, and I will be here as fast as the Lord's wings can take me."
-
"Thank you," Susy said with a hopeful smile, "May the Lord guide you, good huntress."
"Come on!" The snobby messenger said, "Let's leave already! These deathly woods are sending chills down my spine."
-
The docotor looked at his wise worded friend.."Would you like me to stay behind or go with?"
-
"This sounds very important. For the sake of all here, I think any able bodied fighter should come."
She looked around at the celebrating villagers.
"Give me a moment..."
She walked up to the celebrating crowd, putting herself on the platform the bunny was going to be torched on, looking over the crowd, waiting for it to be a little quieter.
-
((Are you planing to form a.... Hunting Party!? :D))
The crowd noticed the huntress stepping onto the platform and took a moment off of their celebrating to see what she wanted to say.
-
The doc was silent but plotted his thoughts on how this could be turned into his favor as he stood next to the stage and held his cane like a classy gentle bird.
-
((You could say that :D INCOMING SPEECH))
"Ladies, Gentlemen, young and old, the Church is calling me away for a meeting of great import, and in these dark times, we need as many able bodied men, women, and furs as we can find to combat the darkness. Those who have families, please stay to defend the hearth, but to those who wish to fight the darkness at it's font, I offer an invitation to come with me. There will be those who can train you to fight, and perhaps some day become hunters yourselves. Whether to defend your family, hunt for the glory of proving yourself, or for your faith in the Lord above, I offer this path. If you wish to come, gather a horse or transportation, say your goodbyes, and meet me in the northern part of town in two hours. We shall set off then."
She stepped off the platform and turned to the messenger.
"You have your answer. We will be ready in two hours. Rest your steed and we will be there soon."
-
I walk to my wise worderd fellow.."Wonderful display..It's a shame that the prize may be fought over.." He chuckles as he starts to talk to himself and stare at his cane..
-
The crowd cheered from her words, as most of the men and women went to gather their old farming tools, guns, and weapons and began to prepare them as the farmers went to gather as much food as they could carry for the trip. As fast as the meeting had ended, the whole town was busy.
The messenger got off os his steed and grinned at such a sight, swiping an apple from a farmer walking boy to casual enjoy it. Susy walked up to Rhosyn and commented, "I've never seen this town so active."
-
Rhosyn saw the messenger stealing the apple and shot him an icy cold gaze.
She turned to Susy. "It's hope, child. Hope is a powerful force, and once these people have it, it will light against the deepest darkness." she smiled warmly. Not long ago she would have given anything to see the village that was going to hang her for her deformities turn so quickly. She was glad this village was different.
-
((I'll be back in a little bit. This is getting good!!!)

Not long ago she would have given anything to see the village that was going to hang her for her deformities turn so quickly. She was glad this village was different.
As the townsfolk went to work preparing, the messenger walked up the dead, headless beast to analyze it's body. "A rather powerful creature indeed." He commented, taking a bite out of his apple, "I guess doing like this is to be expected from a Class A hunter of the Holy Church. Very impressive, I must admit."
-
"Indeed... so astute for the foot lackey of said church, that preys on the weak and defenseless." she said coldly.
-
(I unfortunately may have to leave this rp. I don't want to cause I thinks it's cool but I keep falling behind because of school and timezones.)
-
((Oh no! But if you ever wanna join the RP again, you'll always be welcomed back :)))
-
(Ok but I doubt i could come back, unless there is a long period where I don't have school.)
-
"Indeed... so astute for the foot lackey of said church, that preys on the weak and defenseless." she said coldly.
The messenger made a frown, as he then took another bite of the apple and then threw it into the woods. "And that church you speak of," He the said with a smile, "Tis the Holy Church. So i'd watch your tongue if I were you, good huntress."
As he made his way back to his horse, about eighteen people had begun to gather to Rhosyn with their weapons and gear ready and their horses fed.
"We're ready."

(Ok but I doubt i could come back, unless there is a long period where I don't have school.)
((I understand, and I hope things go easy for you though ;)))
-
Rhosyn nodded, pulling her white horse from it's space, and getting astride it.
"Very well, all who will follow, adventure awaits!"
((Sorry its been a busy day. Running around a ton))
-
And as the crowd cheered, the messenger led the hunting party into the woods and on a dirt path. For two hours, they road through the woods, frightened by haunting gazes from the dark and bone chilling noises. Eventually, they came out of the forest and towards the shoreline, where they were met with a large gate that connected to a bridge that led into the ocean and to a large island, where the Holy Church had build their city and Cathedral.
The gate itself was very impressive, with four guards guarding the front while two manned gating turrets patrolled on top of the two towers that there on either side of the gate.
"State your business!" The guards ordered, holding flintlock rifles.
The messenger stopped his horse and got off, pulling a scroll from his bag as he then said, "As messenger of the Holy Church, I was ordered to gather hunters for the crisis in hand."
Crisis? The messenger never said anything about a crisis...
-
Rhosyn shifted on her seat. It was always a crisis with the Church... something would come up, they would be frightened of whatever the darkness had thrown at them this time, and would call it a "crisis". She knew better. Hopefully this was just the council being paranoid and not worse than most...
She looked to her allies, and smiled warmly. "It will be all right. This town is a bastion against the darkness. A light against the night. We will be safe, and I will make sure you are trained."
-
(I'm sorry for being gone. Got a seasonal job DX))
With that, the gates opened and the hunting party was allowed to cross the long bridge and into the city of the Holy Church. The city had great, gothic styled buildings and small shops at every corner. People and horses crowded the streets as the hunting party advanded. From the looks the townsfolk were giving, they had never been in a city like the Holy Church before.
-
Rhosyn smiled wide.
"Welcome, brothers and sisters, to the city of the Holy Church. There are few like it."
She looked to the messenger. "Say, lad, where is this meeting being held? I want to see if I can get my friends here some lodgings and ground under their feet before heading there."
((Yeah, Life to live XD I hear you))
-
((What have I missed? I got really far behind.))
-
((Rhosyn formed a hunting party and is now in the City of the Holy Church))
"Well, theres plenty of room for them to settle in this city, as well as markets and shops." The messenger replied with a shrug, "I don't think the council would be fond with having an entire group come to the meeting, so it would be best if you and the strongest hunters you have came, while your men settled down."
-
The doc had nodded and watched everyone with a silent and almost spooky gaze as his mask eyes lit up. Then under his breath he was plotting how to murder everyone he saw. Since he didn't trust a single soul. Not even his own...
-
She nodded.
"You still have not answered where the meeting is taking place. I will pick the most skilled hunters and meet you there. I'm sure the council can wait for one of it's members for a few moments." she said smiling.
-
The doc watched the messager and folds his arms. "Does anyone have need of medical help?"
-
She nodded.
"You still have not answered where the meeting is taking place. I will pick the most skilled hunters and meet you there. I'm sure the council can wait for one of it's members for a few moments." she said smiling.
"At the Cathedral." the messenger then said, "It's at the highest point in the city."
He then road off, leaving the hunting part behind. The Cathedral was arguably the most important building of the Holy Church that contained many secrets. Only Church members were allowed to enter the building, but it seemed that they were allowing hunters to enter the sacred building.
-
Rhosyn frowned. Not a good sign, to start with.
She looked to the hunting party.
"Come friends, follow me. I will take you to the church where I was taught. Sister Teysa will teach you the things you need to fight."
She motioned for them to follow to a nearby, smaller, local church.
((Do you mind if I do that? Or is that Meta=gaming too much. Will edit if it is))
-
The doc went back to talking with himself and fallowed the wise worded gal and stared at his cane.
-
Rhosyn frowned. Not a good sign, to start with.
She looked to the hunting party.
"Come friends, follow me. I will take you to the church where I was taught. Sister Teysa will teach you the things you need to fight."
She motioned for them to follow to a nearby, smaller, local church.
((Do you mind if I do that? Or is that Meta=gaming too much. Will edit if it is))
((I don't mind :). Could I play as another nun in the local church?))
-
((Sure! I was thinking with my character's backstory that she was abandoned at the church due to her deformities, the nun took her in, defended her when the inquisitors came knocking, Rhosyn proved herself, and now the church is kind of like the place she sends people to become hunters since the nun who took her in teaches those skills.))
-
((Sure! :D. I could make another nun who works at the church with Teysa if you want :D))
-
((Sounds good :3 go for it))
-
"Lady Teysa!" A brown cat woman in nun clothing knocked on her room door, "We have visitors!"
The cat woman was carrying an infant in her arms, cradling it as called for Teysa.
-
Rhosyn smiled warmly. She led the party to the church and dismounted from her horse.
Teysa, the cat, looked to the younger nun, still cradling the child.
"Thank you sister, who is it that graces our halls?" she said, smiling softly, believing to know the answer already.
-
"It's Rhosyn!" The younger nun replied, "And she's brought a group of people with her! Sh-should I prepare drinks for them?"
-
Tesya nodded.
"See them into the courtyard and prepare drinks. I'm assuming Rhosyn has brought another group of initiates. Must be important..." she looked off, deep in thought. Placing the babe back down in it's cradle, she gathered her robes and followed.
-
The doc fallowed behind and listened carefully to every word spoken.
-
"Yes ma'am!" With that, the younger nun rushed to the kitchen to prepare drinks. After finally preparing all of the drinks, she came to the front door and welcomed the group.
"W-welcome!" She said with a smile and open arms.
-
The doc took a bow and smiled under his mask while his tail feathers wiggled.."Hello their fo dah...Well I'm Dr.Zed and it is a pleasure to be here." He got up and tapped his cane as he walked inside like a eager puppy to get it's food..
-
"Sister! It's a pleasure to see you. You look well." Rhosyn said, beaming. "I have some new recruits for the order. Tell me, what news is there from the town? My time is short unfortunately, but does everything go well?"
-
It's a pleasure to meet you! My name is Rin." The younger nun replied, putting her hand out for a handshake, "Sickness is spreading through the city, infecting children and young adults. The Holy Church has been giving out special healing medicines and blessing people at the Cathedral."
-
Rhosyn frowned. "Illness you say? Is it Plague?"
She looked worried. Plague wasn't a monster one could fight, but there had to be a source.
"Rin, would you kindly see to these souls here? If this is the reason the council has called us, I must see to them quickly. Give my regards to Teysa as well. Send anyone who, after being cared for, would like to join us in the meeting up to the main Cathedral."
-
"I will," Rin said, leading the townsfolk into the church to tend to them. It was now time for our hunters to head to the highest point of the city.
-
((Should we wait for everyone before continuing?))
-
((Yeah, we should))
-
Ray had been in the midst of the party, remaining silent for most of the journey. He spoke up, at the mention of 'Plague'. "What's this? Something about a plague?"
-
((are you asking Rhosyn?))
-
((Ray is, yes.))
-
((Ah, kk. Let us wait for her, then :)))
-
((Just got in today, hold on))
Rhosyn frowned and looked to Ray. "It sounds like this might be why the church brought us here. Do you know something of the plague?" she said.
-
((Should we just continue?))
-
Ray shook his head. "I know nothing of this plague." He sighed. "I hunt witches, not cure illness."
-
((Sorry about being gone for so long DX))
Eventually, the hunters made their way to the gates to the cathedral, which were guarded by a pair of eight foot, pale faced canines. They had blank expressions, and had no fur and no eyes. The hunters have never seen such beings in their lives and were curious if they would let them enter the cathedral or not. The strange guards also welded large staffs amd wore bells around their necks.
((They look like this, but are canines http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/bloodborne/images/2/25/Art-bloodborne-screen-c08b.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/90?cb=20150428053016 (http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/bloodborne/images/2/25/Art-bloodborne-screen-c08b.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/90?cb=20150428053016) ))
-
((Oh dear.))
-
((Hey Kyle! Sorry was super sick and gone since last thurs. Back now!!!))
-
((Nice! I'm glad you're feeling better!))
-
((What did I miss o.o))
-
((Not much XD. the hunters are at the cathedral gates and are guarded by two strange beings that your character has never scene before))
-
Rhosyn sniffed the air around these creatures. They didn't feel... holy... yet they were guarding the main cathedral. A little concerned, she stepped up to the guardians.
"My name is Rhosyn Ilwynog, hunter for the Order. I request entrance on the invitation I received earlier this day."
-
After staring blankly at her for what seemed to be an eternity, they being lifted their sticks up and opened the gate to let the hunters enter.
-
She nodded to the creatures, the hair on the back of her neck raising slightly, and motioned for the party to enter the cathedral.
(creepy)
-
The cathedral, much to Rhosyn's shock, look a lot grimmer and lifeless than the last time she was here. The towers and monasteries had an eerie aura to them, and the one lively parks and sacred shrines and graveyards looked as if they were haunted. The area was void of nuns and children who would visit the Cathedral to play, as the strange beings like the ones at the gate walked aimlessly around, carrying lanterns and sticks. Something was obviously wrong.
-
"Friends, keep your wits about you. This is not the cathedral as I remember it..." she murmured to the party, quietly.
She kept her head held high, moving through the courtyard towards where she assumed the meeting would take place.
-
Eventually the gang came to the main building, which was a massive, gothic themed cathedral with angel statues by the entrance. Unlike the rest of the area, lights were lit from the windows, and hunters could be scene entering the building.
-
Rhosyn relaxed a little. Seeing fellow hunters enter the building she knew at least if there was something wrong here, they could either take it out, or at least have a fighting chance.
-
((should we wait for the others?))
-
((DX))
The hunters were gathered at a large table with fancy, gothic walls. They looked to be waiting for someone.
-
((Yeah this RP is dying a little already :( which is lame ))
Rhosyn stood with the other hunters, waiting to see what would happen.
-
((Maybe this could just be an RP between us, then :D))
As the hunters got into their seats, a pair of doors opened as a white fox dressed in an elegant suit made his way to his seat, with two pale beings be his side. Upon sitting down, the white fox then says, "Welcome, good hunters and huntresses. My name is Edward Grendham, and I thank you all for attending to this meeting."
-
((I just got left behind. I am interested in this, I just...yeah, got left behind.))
-
((Dude, I gave you days to catch up XD))
-
((ITS ON!))
Rhosyn settled in the back row, standing still and cooly, waiting for this Edward to continue.
-
"As you all may know, changes were made to the Cathedral Ward due to the sickness that is spreading through this city." Edward said with dull looking eyes, "Civilians are being turned into crazed undead and, unless we act now, beasts will soon roam the streets. This sickness, from what our researchers think, came from the Hallow."
-
((Alright, I did my homework. I'm all caught up now.))
Ray kept a cloth doused in lavender in paw. "You mean to tell me, you've kept the ill inside?"
-
Rhosyn frowned. It was a good idea to keep the illness quarantined, but still... from the Hallow? That's new. Biological warfare was not something they were known for.
-
"We were able to quarantine a large section of the city to kill off the infected. But even now, its spreading to other parts of the city." Edward continued, "In fact, we had to replace all of our guards because they all got infected. The reason why The Church has called all of you, is because we may have found a way to cure this infliction and rid the Lord's land from the Hallow."
-
"And what" Rhosyn stated flatly, "Could that be?"
-
"We need a group of hunters to travel into the Hallow's Grove." Edward said flatly, causing the other hunters to call out in outrage.
-
Ray sighed, and raised his paw. "I will go."
-
Rhosyn had a chill run up her spine.
"And what good would going to the den of the Hallows do for us? How will that cure this plague?"
