It does little good however, as drugs send her straight to the ground with a soft thump.<br> <br>Cedric coughs through the smoke, and is about to trace some air math before the sharp pain of the drugged dart hits him. His vision blurs and he drops his hand, unable to focus on the math before passing out.<br> <br>Ictus blinks at the gas and grunts as he sheathes his daggers to cover his nose with an arm, lacking anything else to really help, "Damnit..." he coughs a bit as everyone else goes down and winces as he feels a pinch in his neck, "Gah, creators... Damn you..." then he slumps to the ground, out like a light<br> <br>It must be a few hours later, as the storm is raging by now. Angus and Rixo find themselves on the pavement of the square, soaking wet by now, but safe otherwise. There are no signs of the others anywhere to be seen! |
| + | |||
| + | The rest, Mirana, Ictus, Cedric, and Bite would be found somewhere underground, and in far worse shape. Mira is still out cold and in a very bland robe, no ear rings, no charms at all, not even her house seal! Everyone would find themselves devoid of anything but a simple robe, though most should soon be waking. Not even their soul pendants are to be found.... "Careful now, even without their charms and weapons, they have their Sacred abilites, don't look directly at them, don't listen to them, if you have to move them, do so carefully." comes a voice.<br> <br>Angus groans as he starts to wake up, his fur plastered to his form from the rain. "Dammit...what just happened." He grumbled groggily as he stood up, shivering lightly thanks to laying on the cold hard pavement. "...Mira, Ictus....Cedric, Bite?...." He blinked as he looked around, seeing only the prone form of Rixo near him....and no one else. "Damn...."<br> <br>With a grunt, Rixo pushes herself into a sitting position, even taking the time to yawn. "What happened?" She looks around, seeing only Angus. "Did the others already leave? If they were taken, why did we get left?" After rising to her feet, she takes a moment to wring out her hood, for all the good it will do.<br> <br>Meanwhile, underground! Cedric starts to stir awake, groggy from the effects of the drug, and feeling an uncomfortable void from being separated from his soul pendant. He groans as his eyes start to open, and wearily looks around to try and figure out where he is, though his vision is still very blurry. "What... where?" is all he manages to get out.<br> <br>Ictus groans as he slowly wakes and quickly looks around before falling back dizzily, "Huh? What happened?" he blinks as he realizes he is unarmed and grunts, "Damnit..." then his eyes go wide as he realizes he's without his soul pendant, "Oh fuck... Not good." that being very quiet<br> <br>Mirana starts to wake up herself, but it doesn't take mer much to figure out the reason for her drained sensations. She keeps her dark eyes closed, it isn't well known that she is a soul blessed, and she'd rather keep it that way. Still not opening her eyes she starts to raise up, "Where are we Ictus?" she asks recognising his voice. But she is soon taken to the ground by a sharp punch, "Stay down!" comes a grough voice." as she is struck accorss the muzzle. "Don't move and you all will live." Says a coyote, who struck Mira. The room is square, and bricked with torches hanging everywhere, and quite large. Only one door, with bars and the coyote is there with a tocan and a rhino. They all have odd black robes on, and carry swords and crossbows "Just stay here will we are ready for you, and ... little harm will come to you." Mira spits out some blood and finally opens her blank eyes. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Outside Angus and Rixo have nothing to go on at the moment besides the fact that they are being rained on.<br> <br>"Damn,damn,damn." Mutter Angus as he started to look around the area, trying to see if there were any clues, any signs that could help him find the others. "Why didn't I pay attention, should of known someone would be watching..." Unlike Rixo he didn't even try to wring out his cloak, considering it was just soaked beyond that beling able to help, and he sighs. "You okay..." He asked the Panda, turning around to give her a curious look. As he tried to think of anything that could help...<br> <br>Rixo nods, folding her arms. "Yes, I am okay. I'm more worried about the others. I am sort of new here, so I am less aware of the situation than you are, I'm sure. Where do you think they were taken?" Her eyes scan the area, lending her help in looking for signs or clues. "What about you? Are you injured?"<br> <br>Cedric groans again, looking around and wincing at the sound of the vixen being struck by the coyote guard. He sits up a little, looking at the crude, weird robe they put him in while he was unconscious. "Ugh... don't put weird things on me." he says in a daze, staring over at the coyote and company as he tears the robe off of himself and sets it aside. They took him here, so they must know what he is. He's betting they wouldn't actually maim him unless they were prepared for what comes with that. At least he'll try to make them uncomfortable with his nudity!<br> <br>Ictus blinks at Mira and shakes his head, "I don't know..." he blinks as his cousin is hit and growls impotently, "Hey!" as he starts to sit up, "You want to take it out on somebody, take it out on me!" he growls more as he tries to take a swing at the one who struck Mirana<br> <br>Mirana groans a bit as she sits up slightly, "And.. what do you have planned for us?" she asks looking at the trio with her blank eyes. She holds her head as a dull throb comes to her. "And, why should we trust that we won't be killed?" She says and that earns her a backhand, "Quiet!" Quips the coyote. The Rhino walks up to Ictus and points his sword at him, "If I were you, I'd not be asking for trouble." he says, and that is when Cedric removes his robs, getting a gawk from everyone. The tocan says, "Badger.. put that back on, or I'll remove any parts I don't like." She says. Bite is still sleeping on the ground. | ||
| + | |||
| + | As they search around Angus and Rixo find a good trail! It leads out toward the Mange Square! The rain pours down harder, threatening to desolve the little trail they have, another flash of lighting brightening the night sky.<br> <br>Bite stretches and yawns, letting out a "Mmm" as she reaches to her side and attempts to hug something that clearly isn't there, falling on her face when she tries to hug and pull them close. She wakes up with a start and hisses "Ariella?" as she looks around and throws her robe off as though it were a blanket. She stands rather dumbfounded for a second before turning away from the room and covering herself with her tail and hands.<br> <br>"Only a few bruises I picked up before all this happened, honestly I'm more annoyed then really hurt." Angus responded as he looked around once more, his eyes skirting over the trail for a second before he finally notices it. "I don't know where yet, but I'm about to find out." He glares sharply at the trail, before he looks up at the weather, knowing that it wouldn't last long and that they needed to act fast. "Seems that they weren't as stealthy as they thought." He chuckled, pulling his hood back up before he draws his daggers. Following the trail to see if they can find the kidnappers. | ||

The posters are everywhere, 'Beings taken in the dead of the night or in broad daylight' 'Secure your children, keep everyone safe.' While the recent epidemic of abductions has been limited only to those who show the signs of a Sacred Family, all are cautioned to be on the alart. It is a warm evening as Mirana looks about, reading a poster, this one with a reward, "Something needs to be done, but where to even start looking?" she asks no one in particular. A storm brews overhead, with the promise of a rain filled night, and Mira shivers a bit, a parasal in her pack.
Bite sways down the street as she examines the posters, giggling at one as she produces a simple spark, nodding contently. Storms are no fun, but they are wet, and this makes her almost as happy as lighting her enemies on fire. She stops and looks to Mirana s she passes her on the street, giggling and smiling. "Hello there sssweetie." she hisses and waves to her, not at all subtle or quiet about her activities. She doesn't seem worried about the posters at all, although her tentacles are notpresent on her form for the time being, likely a precaution.
Angus hurried down the street to catch up with Mira as he tightened his weapons belt and threw his pack over his back. "Oh, hey Bite." He manages to force out as he skids to a stop next to his sister. "What are you doing here?" He asked in all honesty, he looked once more to the sky and it's promise of rain as he frowns, pulling up his hood. "We could start looking at the last abduction sight, it might help Mira." He shrugged, his twin tails still visible as he glances at the poster once more.
Rixo shuffles along the street at the leisurely pace of one with no destination in mind, and no business to tend to. She slows to a stop as her eyes catch the small gathering around the poster. Not wishing to intrude, she remains silent, but keeps her ears open. Maybe they'd mention something useful to her own search.
It's a lovely evening, ripe with the potential for a lovely storm. And even though he's not a huge fan of lightning, the badger does enjoy a good rainfall. Cedric is out in his everyday clothing, no suit of armor tonight, just waiting for it to rain as he takes a leisurely stroll through the streets of Firmament. He has no destination in particular; merely wandering, as he happens upon the gathering crowd with a smile, not having noticed the posters just yet. "Evening everyone." he says in a jovial tone, more sociable than his personality when encased in his usual armor.
Eyeing a nearby poster as well, Ictus looks over at the group and blinks, "Hey." he wanders over as he eyes the sky, "Just had to start raining today..." he shrugs and hmms as his tails swish, "Would be nice if they could give more information though..."
Mirana looks to Bite and hugs tightly, "Miss Bite, good to see you, very good to see you, how are you doing?" A flash of lightning foretells the storm about to begin, and makes Mira look up at the sky. "Do, you like storms as much as the ocean water?" She asks, and smiles. Then Angus arrives, followed by Cedric and Ictus. She nods, "Yes, someone should do something about this, and that is my plan. Now, any suggestions? I have some ideas, but I'd like to hear from you all first." It seems Mira is just fine now, back to her usual self, but if someone were to look closely, it is obvious that something is bothering her. SHe doesn't notice Rixo, at least not yet.
Bite giggles and returns the hug eagerly, tilting her head. "I'm fine sssweetie, taking a walk and seeing some posters." she hissse and smiles. "Not really, the ocean is the best, but storms are okay." she adds as she looks to Angus and offers a wave to them and then Cedric and Ictus, not seeing Rixo. "We could always bait them out, they couldn't take all of us if we worked together."
Angus noticed that Mira seemed a little anxious, but he didn't make a comment about it. "Sounds like a good plan. Anyone have any suggestions?" Both Ictus and Cedric recieve a nod of greeting from the fox, but when he notices Rixo he quirks an eyebrow. "Oh, hello there Miss." He smiled, giving a slight bow to the strange panada as he stands there. "What brings you here?"
Rixo tugs her own hood up, glancing at the sky for a moment before looking back to the group, smiling to Angus. "I am just looking around. I heard there were problems with abductions, and I was hoping to lend a hand. If you are planning on hunting them and would like an extra pair of hands, I would be more than happy to help." She stands up straight and dips into a polite bow of her own.
Cedric puts his waving hand down and nods. "Hrm..? Abductions?" he asks, looking around and noticing the posters. He walks over to examine them, his features going from neutral to concerned as he looks them over. "Ah... that's troubling. Yeah, I'll lend a hand if I can be of any use." he says, looking to the others. "Should probably try to find some clues... unless we already know where these beings were taken to?" the badger inquires, though he doubts that's the case, or they'd be home by now.
Ictus hmms a bit and nods at that suggestion, "Sounds like a plan... But it doesn't seem like it'll be that easy... I mean, they've been taken in broad daylight too." he looks at Bite and nods in agreement before he blinks at Rixo, "Ah, hello there." he smiles
Mirana nods to Bite, "Bait sounds like a plan, but, who and where? Any ideas on that?" she asks and looks over as Rixo comes up and her headtilts a bit, "Oh?! Who do we have here, Lady Mirana Solacious is my name." She says with a curtsey. then over to Angus and back to Ictus, "Yes, the 'bait' would have to be kept safe somehow, and, beings that can take others in broad daylight, that won't be easy." Finally to Cedric, "Yes, clues would be helpful, but, so far no one has found anything." A few sprinkles and Mira takes out her parasal, protecting her from the incoming rains.
As Bite was about to give an idea a dart flies over and into the scerpent's neck! She looks to stagger a bit, as the poisons it was coated in work quickly causing her to fall forward. Mira quickly tries to catch her and hold her up, but looks to be struggling to do so, not the most athletic fox about, as she starts looking around, head swarving from side to side.
Angus is taken by surprise when Bite is dropped by something, possibly a dart but he didn't know. "Take cover!" He manages to yell before he ducks down, looking for the nearest spot that their unknown attacker could be hiding at, not to mention a place to hide and seek shelter from the darts as he draws his Rapier.
Rixo drops down into a low stance, frowning. "Do you think it is them?" She nods at Mirana. "I am Rix, it looks like proper introductions will have to wait." Her hands wraps around the hilt of the concealed dagger, but she does not draw it yet.
Cedric gets down to the ground after the dark flies past, looking rather shocked about this! He looks around for the source of the throwing dart, but isn't quite able to spot anyone.
Ictus nods to Mira and hmms a bit, "Well, I suppose-" the Bite is struck! He unsheathes his daggers and looks around for the assailant, "Creators... What was that about?" as he takes cover with the others, searching for the dart thrower still
A bag is dropped into the square the area quickly filling up with gas! "SMOKE BOMB!" Mira shouts out and starts caughing and hacking, eyes burning. She starts to try and whip up some air math to blow it all away, but, alas, focusing on mathmagic because very diffacult when you can't breath and your eyes are watering. She just about has it figured out when she feels a sharp pain on her neck, and her world goes black. Soon, everyone feels a similar pain, the drugs quickly taking effect!
Angus lets out a muffled curse as Mira proclaims that it is a smoke bomb, his cloak going over his muzzle to try and help shield him from the gas. "Where are they!" he yells, putting his blade away as he looks around, clearly not able to see anything. He actually started debating on using his own air magic before he was hit with a sharp pain before he started to fall, the darts agent taking effect.
Rixo coughs as the smoke fills the area, bringing her arm up to try to protect herself. It does little good however, as drugs send her straight to the ground with a soft thump.
Cedric coughs through the smoke, and is about to trace some air math before the sharp pain of the drugged dart hits him. His vision blurs and he drops his hand, unable to focus on the math before passing out.
Ictus blinks at the gas and grunts as he sheathes his daggers to cover his nose with an arm, lacking anything else to really help, "Damnit..." he coughs a bit as everyone else goes down and winces as he feels a pinch in his neck, "Gah, creators... Damn you..." then he slumps to the ground, out like a light
It must be a few hours later, as the storm is raging by now. Angus and Rixo find themselves on the pavement of the square, soaking wet by now, but safe otherwise. There are no signs of the others anywhere to be seen!
The rest, Mirana, Ictus, Cedric, and Bite would be found somewhere underground, and in far worse shape. Mira is still out cold and in a very bland robe, no ear rings, no charms at all, not even her house seal! Everyone would find themselves devoid of anything but a simple robe, though most should soon be waking. Not even their soul pendants are to be found.... "Careful now, even without their charms and weapons, they have their Sacred abilites, don't look directly at them, don't listen to them, if you have to move them, do so carefully." comes a voice.
Angus groans as he starts to wake up, his fur plastered to his form from the rain. "Dammit...what just happened." He grumbled groggily as he stood up, shivering lightly thanks to laying on the cold hard pavement. "...Mira, Ictus....Cedric, Bite?...." He blinked as he looked around, seeing only the prone form of Rixo near him....and no one else. "Damn...."
With a grunt, Rixo pushes herself into a sitting position, even taking the time to yawn. "What happened?" She looks around, seeing only Angus. "Did the others already leave? If they were taken, why did we get left?" After rising to her feet, she takes a moment to wring out her hood, for all the good it will do.
Meanwhile, underground! Cedric starts to stir awake, groggy from the effects of the drug, and feeling an uncomfortable void from being separated from his soul pendant. He groans as his eyes start to open, and wearily looks around to try and figure out where he is, though his vision is still very blurry. "What... where?" is all he manages to get out.
Ictus groans as he slowly wakes and quickly looks around before falling back dizzily, "Huh? What happened?" he blinks as he realizes he is unarmed and grunts, "Damnit..." then his eyes go wide as he realizes he's without his soul pendant, "Oh fuck... Not good." that being very quiet
Mirana starts to wake up herself, but it doesn't take mer much to figure out the reason for her drained sensations. She keeps her dark eyes closed, it isn't well known that she is a soul blessed, and she'd rather keep it that way. Still not opening her eyes she starts to raise up, "Where are we Ictus?" she asks recognising his voice. But she is soon taken to the ground by a sharp punch, "Stay down!" comes a grough voice." as she is struck accorss the muzzle. "Don't move and you all will live." Says a coyote, who struck Mira. The room is square, and bricked with torches hanging everywhere, and quite large. Only one door, with bars and the coyote is there with a tocan and a rhino. They all have odd black robes on, and carry swords and crossbows "Just stay here will we are ready for you, and ... little harm will come to you." Mira spits out some blood and finally opens her blank eyes.
Outside Angus and Rixo have nothing to go on at the moment besides the fact that they are being rained on.
"Damn,damn,damn." Mutter Angus as he started to look around the area, trying to see if there were any clues, any signs that could help him find the others. "Why didn't I pay attention, should of known someone would be watching..." Unlike Rixo he didn't even try to wring out his cloak, considering it was just soaked beyond that beling able to help, and he sighs. "You okay..." He asked the Panda, turning around to give her a curious look. As he tried to think of anything that could help...
Rixo nods, folding her arms. "Yes, I am okay. I'm more worried about the others. I am sort of new here, so I am less aware of the situation than you are, I'm sure. Where do you think they were taken?" Her eyes scan the area, lending her help in looking for signs or clues. "What about you? Are you injured?"
Cedric groans again, looking around and wincing at the sound of the vixen being struck by the coyote guard. He sits up a little, looking at the crude, weird robe they put him in while he was unconscious. "Ugh... don't put weird things on me." he says in a daze, staring over at the coyote and company as he tears the robe off of himself and sets it aside. They took him here, so they must know what he is. He's betting they wouldn't actually maim him unless they were prepared for what comes with that. At least he'll try to make them uncomfortable with his nudity!
Ictus blinks at Mira and shakes his head, "I don't know..." he blinks as his cousin is hit and growls impotently, "Hey!" as he starts to sit up, "You want to take it out on somebody, take it out on me!" he growls more as he tries to take a swing at the one who struck Mirana
Mirana groans a bit as she sits up slightly, "And.. what do you have planned for us?" she asks looking at the trio with her blank eyes. She holds her head as a dull throb comes to her. "And, why should we trust that we won't be killed?" She says and that earns her a backhand, "Quiet!" Quips the coyote. The Rhino walks up to Ictus and points his sword at him, "If I were you, I'd not be asking for trouble." he says, and that is when Cedric removes his robs, getting a gawk from everyone. The tocan says, "Badger.. put that back on, or I'll remove any parts I don't like." She says. Bite is still sleeping on the ground.
As they search around Angus and Rixo find a good trail! It leads out toward the Mange Square! The rain pours down harder, threatening to desolve the little trail they have, another flash of lighting brightening the night sky.
Bite stretches and yawns, letting out a "Mmm" as she reaches to her side and attempts to hug something that clearly isn't there, falling on her face when she tries to hug and pull them close. She wakes up with a start and hisses "Ariella?" as she looks around and throws her robe off as though it were a blanket. She stands rather dumbfounded for a second before turning away from the room and covering herself with her tail and hands.
"Only a few bruises I picked up before all this happened, honestly I'm more annoyed then really hurt." Angus responded as he looked around once more, his eyes skirting over the trail for a second before he finally notices it. "I don't know where yet, but I'm about to find out." He glares sharply at the trail, before he looks up at the weather, knowing that it wouldn't last long and that they needed to act fast. "Seems that they weren't as stealthy as they thought." He chuckled, pulling his hood back up before he draws his daggers. Following the trail to see if they can find the kidnappers.
