Seraphi

Ares walks down the passage, using air to press on the floor in front of the group in case of further pitfalls.

Ares tells the guards to watch the hole, and stop anybody from coming onto the plaza in case it collapses in more places. He then climbs down the rope and follows Rocco through the crack.

Yeah, I noticed it, but I'm not sure I want to play another hegemony style game right now. Too much stuff to do. Monster Hunter, Dragon Quest IX, Dorf fortress, Minecraft and all... Also, Rocco, dwarf fortress can be altered to use a graphics pack if you don't like ASCII, but since it is, for all intents and purposes, no longer a roguelike but a genre unto itself, it needs to be downloaded.

One of my dwarves is starving to death in a hallway and I think he has a concussion. He's not allowing anyone to help him. He sort of wakes up, goes to get food, then drops it in the hallway and faints again ... Yeah, he's dead now. And I have a hallway full of spilt food.

Ares continues manipulating the pressure to stop the monsters movements from above.

What can I say, I like Hellsing. Still waiting for them to bring out the next episode.

Hm? What do you mean by that? I've had the same avatar and signature since like, two years ago :rolleyes:

Ugh, Gaia. I never really liked that game to be honest. Speaking of MMOs though, I saw this game called TERA online, and it looks almost exactly the same as Monster Hunter, combat wise. Might look into it. As well as FF XIV.

But you gain a higher chance of healing yourself due to the mechanics, thus making it abuse, and actually lowering the chance of further injury. Assuming Retech even lets you do it.

I think that's system abuse. "I shoot at the dragon, and if I don't hit it, I shoot it again until I do."

Ares attempts to use pressure to impede the swamp monsters movement, giving Rocco and Theros a chance to strike.

Ares instructs the civilians to go climb up the rope, before ascending himself and explaining about the druid to the town guards.

Ares shouts up the hole to any guards which may be within hearing distance. "Hello, we could use a rope down here! There are around 15 of us down here, and I assume most wish to not be down here! My companions and I are going to check it out, but some rope or a ladder would be greatly appreciated!"

Ares drops down the hole, using air magic to soften the landing and rolling at the same time.

Ares tries to climb onto a nearby building to get a vantage point in case anything comes out of the hole, and tries to get a clear view. He tries to use wind to push people away from the whole while they are running away.

Ares quickly runs and jumps to the side, where the ground is more stable, before yelling at those nearest him to do the same.

Ares heads to said festival.

Ares goes and asks Kemios if there is anything that needs doing, gathering magical ingredients, etc, being unable to deal with the druid for the time being.

Ares grabs a piece of blank paper from nearby, folds it into an Aeroplane, goes outside, and tries to keep it aloft to try out his newfound knowledge.

"An excellent idea, given the news I have to report. After thourough investigation of the Falconers house, I have come to the conclusion that a werewolf, or some other lycanthrope is somewhere in or around the city. I've been told to talk to a druid about it, but something about this seems a little off. If these druids haven't been around for long, and the falconer has suddenly gone missing... What if this druid, or druids, are behind it?" He also notes that he'd like to study another few magic tomes, especially if they focus on air and pressure manipulation, since he may need to defend himself from threats soon.

"Very well then. I shall try to get to the bottom of this" Ares returns to the house in the old quarter to check if Kemios had returned yet

"Maybe it holds some kind of grudge against the falconer? Can you think of any reason anybody would have for not liking him?" "I'd heard there was a druid nearby somewhere, though I am hesitant to take the case to them, in case they are the werewolf, or the one controlling whatever ferocious creature attacked the falconer."

Edit: Disregard.

"I have been looking around the house, and given the evidence there, I think that what you have on your hands is no necromancer, but a werewolf." He calms down, closes his eyes for a second, opens them, and then starts explaining. "Think about it, chunks of flesh torn away by claws, the falcons have all been eaten, or taken, but they're gone is the main point. If it was a necromancer, why would he take the falcons? Then I found claw marks on the floor, roughly the size of a human hand, and in roughly the same shape as well, and then it clicked; What you are facing is, I suspect, a werewolf. I'm not going to pretend I'm an expert, and it would be a good idea to get a wizard or some knowlegable figure to confirm it, but I believe there is a lyincathrope hidden in the town or the surrounding lands somewhere"

Ares goes outside the house, and tries to find the march of soldiers quickly, before jumping in front of them and shouting that they have it all wrong.
