Session 12: Why do we always fight, Why do good people have to die? *sniffles*

YAY YAY YAY!!! Last night or was it two days ago.. I'm not really sure but we were transferred into Horse bodies of our choosing so that we could be brought back to life, and Sawu and I then spent lots of time running and exploring around the forest, and the beaches and the pasture. And I eventually just rand myself out *giggles* It was so freeing.


But today... today was one of sorrows. Eh I will save that for later though, I started out the day trying to assist Miss Mona with teaching Kathy how to act like a proper young lady, trying to tech her to eat with utensils, and cook, and other things. But she just decided to act uncivily <.< to which I tried to correct her >.>  That's when she started swinging at me with a frying pan, and so I decided to run outside,, as Mona dealt with the situation (that of course should have been a warning in my head, for what was to come later. *sighs*)


Going outside, I saw Wu heading off towards the barn, as well as Rupper leaving the porch for it. Polly from the foul smell littering the air I guess, but then again that too was coming from the barn. There on the floor was the hag's body and Thanks to Rhia's father we were able to question it, to get answers. We got some pointless ones, and we got some good ones. In the end all we truly wanted to know was what were the plans of the Fomorians in general, which we got from Tal as she and Ben arrived. (Late I might add which is quite unlike them <.< hehehehe). And apparently the Keepers are actually Fomorians in disguise... And the worst part is the Fomorians brokering deals with different pantheons, and already have the Ice Giants on their side.


This was miserable news indeed, needed time to process. And we were hungry so we ummm, well we went to go eat. Me, Ben, Ruppy, and ol man Mann were greeted at the door by Kathy and we each found that the food was ultimately horrendous, and Manannan and I decided to well make our food disappear (at least I did after I noticed he was doing it himself the old cad x3) Eventually Tal also joined us inside crying, over Rhia. Who had told tal off in the barn as we found out, I and Ben tried our best to console her but it didn't seem to help much, I guess this was going to be a rough patch for everyone. Especially since we found Rhia's mother in the pantry. She was killed and there was a bent frying pan beside her, and Kathy was smiling. 


I... I don't... I don't think she knew what she was doing it was heartbreak for everyone. Ben dragged her outside, was going to kill her. I was told to go tell Rhia and Wu who were already rushing towards the house. I tried to tell her that her mother was dead, that Kathy had done it. That it was all wrong, but she wouldnt believe me she even snapped at me when I tried to get her to listen. All I was trying to do was listen, and tell her the bad news like I was ordered, but I guess everyone hates the messenger of bad news, not like it was even my fault either. When I turned back, Ben had drawn his sword and was going to slice down Kathy. How In the Heck can you just execute someone who doesn't know any better. 


I couldn't take much more as I stumbled towards the scene I broke down, I fell against the house. I don't remember much of what happened next jsut seeing Manannan fly out of the house, Rhia, Kathy and Wu in a field I stumbled towards them again, wanting to help, he was so mad at her, I just I.... I recovered shortly after, we were told to leave the island. One of the others had found a boat by the shore and thats where we headed next, Rhia Kathy and Mann went to the house, Wu stayed in the field. and I just walked away with Ben Tal and Ruppy. At least they apologized, they apologized for yelling and glaring and snapping at me. It actaully made me feel a bit better as we came towards the shore, Wu and RHia caught up from behind. The man at the boat was going to take us to his employer to one of the Loa Gods Kalfu I beliee his name was, can't really remember who the man himself's name was but heh I guess that happens huh? So we passed out our Relics which Rhia had retrieved, and we headed onto the boat.

Sessions 9 & 10 Wild Rides, Giant Wolves, and Witchy Hags; What are we gonna run into next?

So we just escaped from Big Huitzand were circling the globe like a falling star rocketing towards the Earth and I stopped it... (Well Mah told me how to stop it bless her heart but I am the one who did it, even if it was pretty haphazardly. <.<) Anyways Ben went diving after his bird, and Tal stabbed herself, was losing quite a bit of blood which Wu was trying to tend to as we floated over the ocean, the damn litter refusing to listen to me.

Anyways Ruppy suddenly jumps out as well and starts swimming to shore, and we're all conversing about what to do (Rhia, me and Wu) when I suddenly feel the litter moving, pulling itself higher. At which point I tell the other we need to go now, or be brought back to Huitz, and we decide to lower Tal with Sawu's help then bring her to land by water made raft. Which we did more or less >.> since Tal was wrapped in a cocoon (wonder if she'll become a butterfly.. Oh wait she didn't <.<) And we all rode on the raft even across the land, with Wu resupplying it with her cauldron, and me guiding the others towards shore then Ben.

So on the way we hear a gunshot and we find out its an old woman shooting at Ben... So after greeting her ourselves, we find out this woman is actually Rhia's Stepmom o.o, and Manannan has left to go search for us. (What luck right? we wind up on his Horse Farm and hes off searching for us *giggles*) Next thing I know the old lady is serving us stew (which I have to admit was wonderfully delicious... melt in your mouth marvelous) And Rupper was stitching up Tal on the couch and gave her pills. Never knew Ruppy was so good with the medicinal arts, but I guess someone has to be right?

And after we were all nicely talking about things and introducing ourselves the birds came squawking back, An apparent warning that something was wrong, and it turned out to be wolves! Why did it have to be wolves? And not just wolves these wolves turned out to be some of the toughest things I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. (Sooo wish I could've used my own gun, but you know Ghosty and all right? *sighs*) So Ruppy grabbed an axe, and Benji grabbed the lady's gun, and the rest of us just ran outside (like idiots). And then it started after Ruppy started growling and howling at them like a big bad wolfy himself, Half of them started running towards the house. Benji took a shot then growled himself in frustration and decided he wanted rope, he demanded it from Sawu to which we both groaned and gave it to him, we knew it wouldn't work but I am guessing Benji forgot. Though he learned soon enough and flew off in frustration giving me the rifle. I used it myself, as soon as I could and feeling a bit giddy about being in this fight now, fired it at one of the wolf's head but it just glanced off, and without having anymore ammo I kinda felt frustrated myself and went in swinging smacking the wolf on the head with the club. Seemingly at the same time that Ruppy wiggled his fingers in is brain (Wish I had been the one to take the woofy down *pouts*) But after seeing their leader go down the other wolves went and ran away stealing horses more horses than they killed.

And looking at the house I found out that one of the wolfies ran inside, but also found out that Tal had ripped its jaw from its head, killing the poor monster wolf. But she had popped her stitches, and we needed to get her to the couch, and Ruppy needed to redo them, Though she had saved Rhia's mother. Anyways after we got everything cleaned up and Tal back in stitches we settled in back to relaxing and Wu who missed everything because of a case of explosive diarrhea shot out of the bathroom ready to fight *giggles* But another thing happened to which I leaped off the porch, Manannan finally arrived.

So now that Mann is here (to whom I bowed and greeted) we all settled back in questioning him about getting our lives back, but he wanted us to perform a quest to get his prized Stallion back from the wolves... I asked about weaponry but noone answered. And we jus got into a deeper discussion on how we would get our lives back, Manannan would go to Fate, plead our case and we would get new lives. Wewt Right! All we had to do was go save his horsie and not get him killed. So after we all thought we were prepared, (which I just ran outside happy about our new lives, when I should have been trying to get ammo. هذه هي الحياة.

So we get to the woods, Ben flying overhead, having finally let Tal walk with us, and we see the cave. The others deciding that I, Wu, and Ben would be the best to go in, while Ruppy was to distract the lupine guards. So we did, Wu and me sneaking in on the ground, while Ben (still in the air... Soo soo wierd btw) flew in behind us. We were noticed once at the entrance, though the fighting seemed to distract this third wolf and we were able to go deeper. Only to find a pair of mares who were still alive with their own wolfy guard. And as I snuck past this third wolf realizing these two couldnt have been the giant male Wu decided to pick up a rock and attack it... Stupid move when there was someone speaking gaelic around... Someone who had to have been humanoid since these wolves only spoke, well wolf.

Anyways Wu got a deep cut on the wolf but it wasn't enough, and as Ben shot it with some sort of blazing light it stumbled right into me, I fell back on my rear even as the wolf went through me and triggered a cavein that pinned the creature down. (YAY for team efforts ^-^) So we moved on deeper down the tunnels finding what could only have been Enbarr and a hag standing over him ensigiling blue glowing runes with a knife.. Must have been some sort of ritual. And as I questioned the hag, Ben tells Wu to jump in needlessly, and she grabs the dagger from her (prolly without even heeding Ben. The loons) Wu then twists the dagger away and stabs her in the chest. This is likely the point that I would have tried to talk her down, but now we were her enemy we had just stabbed her in the chest, and she was becoming a highly more hideous monster as she turned to face us.

So meanwhile Ben tries to shoot her with the same light and misses, while I look for anything to use on her as a weapon, and find a rock, at least its something material to use in this situation, not like any of my own weapons would have worked... (Why the hell didn't I ask for bullets for that damn rifle of hers. >.<) So while Wu is fighting with the witch over the dagger, and Ben blindfolds himself (to get past her ugliness I am guessing) smacking her with a giant piece of the altar that Enbarr rested upon. Cal flies in wailing, apparently I was right back in Italy Cerberus is back... Cerberus is here, and he wants us, he wants to take us back.

After Ben translates that and throws the rock it smacks the hag in the back of the head and sends her running, carrying Wu right out of the cave and over a pile of dead wolves. Guessing that Ruppy's abilities worked pretty well. While the hag is now running, Rhia and Ruppy are singing the giant Cerberus to sleep, and Tal running around through flaming trees. Ben is flying right above the hag staring her down, and I throw a rock which thankfully impacts right on the back of her knee, knocking both her and Wu to the ground, and drives the knife right through her heart. I killed it, I killed it... *starts gigglefitting as she finishes*

Session 5: When Are We Getting Out of here? Session 6: Where Are We Going to get Our Lives Back?

First off I want to say I am sorry for not writing in here for a long time but I have reasons for that. First I was on acid, then the dark & wild ride down the waterfall to an equally dark cavern, then This wierd dream from Hypnos (damn lil douchy kid.). Errr, let me back up a bit to get a few things straight. First there was the wierdness with Tal's journal that writ upon itself, apparently a dictation by fate. Telling us that Kathy was a Shabti created by Ben, for the greater good to be a Titan Avatar, & that she could still very much be controlled by that Titan. To all of this Tal started acting nuts, like always & prolly feeling more justified she did not want Kathy to come with us. But she was made for the greater good wasn't she? So why not keep her around? I mean what could it really hurt?


Anyways while everyone else was fighting I was snugglin up with Ruppy's, bad idea really the guy doesn't actually care so why am I bothering? Well I did get a good laugh out of it he blew smoke Nymphs and a Satyr that chased them around the others. Making a spectacle that apparently got lost on the group... And then he offered this stamp, which turned out to be acid, but hey I took it anyways and gave one good long lick against the backside. Didn't matter that it came from Ruppy's box. Anything had to be better than the fighting. So I was out of it for the long march back to the Lethe.


After actually making it (apparently the others kept me from wandering off into the underworld). We all paid the ferryman to get on the boat, then Prometheus subsequently set about killing the Ferryman. If it wasn't for Rhia knowing how to drive a gondola I don't know where we'd be right now, prolly still trapped in this accursed underworld. But she did, and we were able to go down the river towards its end... Towards Hypnos' cave and then it was pitch dark, the sound of rocks breaking around us as we fell. I let loose Asan trying to compel him to protect us against being broken upon these rocks, and then I was tied down to the bow of the ship.


Next thing I knew we were on the shores of a lake, with Prommy and Joshua gone. And we went into the castle fought with Hypnos about our memories... Ruppy got him to go stick his head in the Lake which apparently ended the dream. I just... just can't remember most of it. 

___________________________________________________________________________



We then woke up yet again, and back on the same lake shore. Tal was still holding the Lute that she... she pulled out of the dream. And each of us took a string, while Prommy and Joshua (who grew a second head (totally wiierd x.x)) moved this giant boulder blocking our exit. Well I was the first to try swallowing the strings we were given, & while not lucid told the others to do so.


What I experienced... It... It was horrifyingly disturbing. So I warn those faint of heart not to read further...


Something burst out from within my womb, my flesh splitting apart and countless thousands of glass spiders crawling forth, from inside me, just pouring across my body. Blinded by they're crawling across my body able to see, hear, feel nothing but the spiders as they rip apart my flesh, injecting me with their venom, and rebuilding me in a fashion absolutely unbearable and hideously painful. Emerging from the churning mass as someone besides myself, able to feel an absolutely alien mind shared with countless thousand Glass Spiders, that were spawned from my own body. And, Asan draws up around me forming a layer of protective sand like armor, that mixes with the silicon venom, as I see from dozens of blind eyes, admiring my new shiny glass skin. I have become something more than merely mortal, or immortal. Feeling a surge of divinity within my flesh as the spiders crawl everywhere. But I can't move my body, don't know why. Why can't I move? Why?!?!?! The spiders move at my command, doing my bidding, and even move my body if I mentally scream it out to them. But why can't I move by myself? I'm a prisoner within this glass body, unable to do anything for myself, except to command the spiders.


I couldn't stop trembling could barely move just clinging to Rhia upon our exodus of the Underworld, the feeling as we neared the exit putting me into a terrible fright feeling the spiders crawling over me. I wanted to run, from it I wanted to get away.. But I couldn't, I just couldn't, I needed to get out of here to be alive again.And so we burst through the membrane. After which Prommy and Joshua went their own way, Rhias told us we were still dead, but that we were ghosts now, & I heard the howling of dogs... That would haunt me, because after we got to the city I saw something down an alley. I saw glowing eyes, faint yellowish glowing eyes that growled at me from the shadows. It had to have been Cerberus... But noone would believe me.


And though I kept trying to tell them, everyone thought.. nix that every still thinks that I'm crazy. I bet this is what Tal feels like with noone listening to her about Kathy heh. So anyways where was I... Oh ya Wu and Kathy went into a nearby store to find clothes which led to Kathy tipping over displays, and Wu and Rhia going to make out in one of the dressing rooms *giggles knowing it was more than just making out* When all the renewed zaniness was done Tal told us to folow this wierd guy to his place which I thought was wierd, but hey if everyone else is listening to her then why not.


So after we get there we start talking, & we come to the subject that we escaped from the underworld... Which causes him to freak out so Tal threatens him, Rhia uses her powers of persausion over him, & seeing that the poor guy is still quite freaking out, I decided to try and talk him down, to calm him. It worked and we were all able to talk intelligently about how to return us to life. We had a number of options actually finding our bodies and sacrificing others to bring ourselves back to life, to which I completely disagreed. (Which with mine most likely being broken glass now probably wouldn't be possible anyways. *sighs*) There were other options though, creating Shabtis of ourselves to inhabit, or using the book of the dead... My favorite though was Rhia's suggestion to go to her Father for help bringing us back to life. He might at least help her back, and then later maybe she can help us... >.>;;;


But then we heard someone outside seizing on the stairs and Ruppy told us it was a variation of Ancient Greek.  Turns out we may have left the underworld open. <.< Woops....

Session 4: How did We End Up in this Situation?

Ok so we left off where exactly? Oh Right where the man, Joshua's Brother had shot fire out from his eyes and plasma gouted from his mouth <.<...

So that seems to have called Harpies out of the pit and they started to harry us and Wu and Tal went in mirror action pushing off of the rock cliff and their spears together lopped a harpy down. Then I got into the action actually getting pumped from the sight of those two even as I stayed I the safety and comfort of Ruppy's lap, my mind fogging from the passed over smoke. So anyways >.>, I sent Sawu to climb upon the cliffs, giving the little guy a bit of freedom, while I myself aimed for attacking the loud mouthed leader, who had been telling us she was going to eat us. But, the harpies did two things that really pissed me off before I could even let go of my first shot... One they let off a sonic screech that caused a significant headache making me growl, and then they tore Ruppy right out from under me, and made me nearly plant my face on the outcropping. SOO I fired, I fired right through the Damn, Loudmouthed Harpy's Freaking Cheek and out the back of her damn head, and the sight of Sawu simultaneously shooting the same one's face with his webbing caused that inner growl to turn to a giggle, as I finally joined the fray. Luckily for Ruppys Tal was there, swinging in to pull him back towards the cliff face and slicing a Harpy clean through, unfortunatly however another Harpy, the soon to be last of the Swiftlings, tore right through her chain, and they all went tumbling down. Again, Luckily, while the chain threw the swiftlings that had pulled Ruppy into the air went down into the Abyss, entangled so in the chain that they couldn't even flap, Tal had been able to save herself and Ruppy, pulling the Rocker against the cliff. I had to smile I couldn't help myself I was relieved that they were both safe, and that caused me to blush selfconciously.

And I fired again at the Leader wanting to fire right through her other blasted cheek, wanted to make the holes symetrical... but I missed.... I completely missed. Wu meanwhile, had ripped through another two Harpies and was plummeting into the abyss upon the back of one of their backs, before Tal, secure in the fact that Rupper was fines had jumped upon another ripping through her wings with what seemed like the ease of a knife through hot butter. At the same time Wu jumped back up from below and O.O.... Sodomized the lead harpy through the ass with her spear WTF... I couldn't help myself but laugh I couldn't stop and didn't notice as Tal fell into the abyss herself. I just fired upon the harpy again as it flew off from the wall with Wu nestled between her legs. The shot going long after pinging against her armor, but it was enough.. It was enough to allow Wu to actually steer the harpy back towards the rest of us, and pulling her spear free Wu finished off the last of the harpies.

Sawu then jumped down guiding himself through the air upon a strand of sharp glass webbing to land neatly upon my shoulder and told me, in gross detail about how he had reeled in the Swiftling who had caused the chain to fall, and with a squealchy bite had layed in his nasty silicon neurotoxin. And with but a glance, I saw the Harpy turning blue as it hung from the chain in a webbed hogtie, I couldn't help looking away, shuddering at the sight, but I remembered Ruppy was still stoned and hanging from the chains where Tal left him, and then I remembered Ta had fallen into the abyss and I gasped I looked down I threw myself at the edge of the outcropping to look out for Tal, and Ruppy... There was Ruppy and that brought a sigh of relief, especially as I saw Tal resting in Ben's lap, like a real life sleeping beauty. So I climbed down to retrieve Ruppy, and meanwhile up the cliff was talk. Talk about a map and a swamp, and with little discussion and the threatening sound of more harpies flying up from below, we journeyed to climb back up the chains and escape. Rhias turned around, Rhias yelled and spooked the the leader of the new wave of harpies and they all took back off into the pit.

Then we were off, back through the sea of spirits, and towards the light of a fiery river in the distance, always moving towards where the rivers all converged upon the center of the underworld upon the Swamps of the Asphodel. I stopped there watching as the spirits crowded around chewing upon supple flowers and found myself remarking upon the fact, then the man in the pot, who Wuyi had apparently put in there leapt from it and with a gory sight his body started to regenerate intestines pulling back inside and internal organs regrowing.. I... I had to look away, it was too much, and while I couldn't see who but it sounded like someone even hurled. After this unsettling event the man, now proclaimied that Joshua had been lieing to us, and this got us started talking, talk about our mission, or if we really needed to go upon it, what it really meant if these powers and memories weren't really ours. But, Joshua laid our qualms to rest, we were the right ones to have them, they were ours or apparently we would've died, aand his brother.. his brother proclaimed himself to be the Divinity Prometheus, which made Joshua Epimetheus... One who stole flame, the other who was gifted with pandora and her box.. The very men who were said to have made humanity from the mud and gifted them us with fire and hope. I can only say I was rather speechless at this revelation, but the others kept talking about the consequences of it all... especially about our escape the escape of all of us, and Tal and Rhia talked about not wanting to bring Kathy, that she didn't mean any good, and I couldn't blame them I don't much care for her myself as of late.

(STILL WANT TO THROW HER FROM A CLIFF *clenches her fist and looks angrily upon the girl as a vein throbs in her forhead*)

So our escape plan... We're suppossed to go down the Lethe again by boat, and this time to its end, to the cavern of Hypnos (Slumber) and Thanatos (Death)... If the harpies aren't telling on us for freeing Prometheus & Epimetheus, I sure as heck hope the lesser gods whose home we are going to invade don't tell. But hey, on the bright side at least we can try to get all of our memories back.

Session 3: Who is this man? Who is Joshua really?

I will get to the main point of this entry near the end... Let's just say it's a surprise. So we left off at me just recovering my senses at the river last time and the Ferryman had left, and everyone around me was talking. It seemed wierd to me at the time I had'nt quite come completely around but I do remember that Wu bounced off to get Kat, and Rhias jumped back into the river. To which I tried to jump back in and save her myself, though Benji stopped me, said we didn't need me going loopy again. (Which I guess is true, because I still don't quite remember my name though I am coming around to being called Kelly.) We then noticed that Tal was.. was cutting herself, I can't believe she would do such a thing, and in my shock me and Ben both ran over to stop her, then out of genuine curiosity I asked why she was doing it. Though I seem to have hurt her in some way, cuz she grew kinda quiet and had this forlorn look upon her face. I was stopped by Benji from asking further, but then Tal volunteered the information. I wish I hadn't of asked I really do, but I did. C'est la vie.

Anyways after Wu got back from retrieving Kathy, & pulled Rhias from the water Tal gave us some wierd coins, which we in turn handed to the ferrywoman, (yes apparently there is equal oppurtunity in the Underworld who knew *giggles*). And off we went into the foggymists. On the ride Wu and Tal started fighting over Wu snatching a coin for Kathy to come along, Tal called Wu a thief, & Wu called Tal a princess... each of them only exacerbating the fight which Rhia and Ben stepped in to stop. Whereas I was hiding behind Ruppy and even jumped off the ship with him once we hit shore to get away from it. (I get so scared when friends fight with each other... & I don't even know why *sulks a bit*) This of course was before I noticed that we had just waded through a mass of ghosts and were surrounded by them. I SOOO hate the Underworld *Whines*

Then everyone else was on shore, and Tal yelled about footprints being found, and a path to the East. So we headed that way Ruppy and me back pedaling to follow and I bumped into his back. Rupy had suddenly stopped because a ghost was in his way and throwing punches at him, I tried to help, tried to stop the punches but the things arm went right through me making me shudder with the cold. And then it happened all of the ghosts to either side started to mill and mob together surging like a river around us and through us even... It was sooo cold I felt the chill down to my bones and cling tight to Ruppy's side staying huddled to him for warmth as we kept going, all the while growing weary and weak.

Eventually we were guided to the edge of a cliff, the mists breaking just before we fell over it, and we decided how to get down, but Tal's Eagle who had been sent down to check things out got chased back upwards by bird like creatures with these sharp nasty smelling talons (They were the foulest smelling things I had ever whiffed it was horrible.) Then we found ourselves in the middle of a fight ourselves at the fliff, the Harpies flying at us, & the ghosts still milling from behind (which Rhia was doing her best to stop them). So we had Wu go down the chains hanging from above with Kat first, then Cal was struck from the sky having been struck by a Harpy and knocked unconcious as the great eagle fell. Tal threw her spear at the same monster who knocked him down and amazingly Ben jumped off the cliff right after the bird trying to save it (by diving off a cliff without any support O.o I think he might be a bit insane... x.x). So ya I pour out Asan from his container expecting him to help us, and suddenly the second harpy is throwing a boulder straight at us and Asan pulled off his duty well blocking it completely!. (My lil pets can be so useful. ^^) Though it did fall down the cliff almost hitting everyone who had already gone down (or in Ben & Cal's cases fell down <.<). And Ruppy and I finished off the second Harpy with a strike from his chain and my gun blowing its head clean off >.>...

So we all then took off on the chains hanging from the unseen cieling of this chasm and went down. Eventually came upon Joshua & Ben hanging/sitting on a ledge of the cliff and I jumped to sit on a rock near Ben, and we all got a lesson in why Joshua had left, apparently there was a disembowled man hanging from a chain that was Joshua's brother and he required our help to get him down. So while Ruppy me and Ben sat on the ledge Wu went up to get the guy free, and Kat Tal, and Rhias started speaking in Spanish again. >.< God I wish I could understand it better, especially since I think I heard a question about Ruppy being claimed...

And after that I have now come to hate Kathy as much as Tal does, tried to trust her at first, & I don't know why I am feeling this way over Rupert but I just can't help myself...

So while Tal went up to help Wu get the guy down, and Rhias came to have a smoke with Ben & Ruppys, I saw kathy climb down the chains effortlessly and snuggle up to Ruppy. This had the unexpected effect of making me growl and jump into Ruppy's lap. But what's worse is that when Wu and Tal finally broke the chain and the man dropped Joshua caught him and his brother's eyes opened up letting out a light that looked like flickering flames. What the heck is going on? who is this man? & Who is Joshua really? O.O

Session 2: Why don't I remember my Name?

Well, where to start where to start.... I guess right after we left off would prolly be best. So we left off at the ruins right?

So were settling in the clearing my flesh still hurting from the pangs of the burn and I think it was Ben gave me salve for my wounds. Meanwhile, the others were talking about heading back to the village before the Raiders that burned the other village hit, & Wu coaxed Kat (as the Latina woman's name is.. I think <.<). So then Wu decided to run off randomly into the woods, as if that was the greatest idea in the world, & we all tried to call her back even following her in (again bright right?).

So after Rhias realized we were all turned around Tal takes charge and leads us back to the right way out. to which my paranoia notices the grey creatures are getting rid of our footprints (as if they weren't creepy enough right?!?!). After getting back to the eery skeleton that marked the entrance to the path it starts moaning out like it is coming back to life to Which Wu runs off, and I nearly join her, just in time to catch Rhias commenting that it is dead like we are. >.> <.< Are we really dead? I mean how can we be dead? I feel like I'm alive at least.

So ya, moving on we all eventually start heading towards the village with Wu & me in the lead, at least until Tal comes running by like a streak of lightning. At the top of the hill between the forest & the village we see that the Raiders have already struck the village, & some are riding off towards the river, to which Ben decides to stay on the hill and fire on them. The rest of us start sneaking towards the ones in the village through the wheat fields. And, just as Ben shoots his gun off I get spooked and fire my own at the nearest guard, alerting them to our presence. (I am such a scaredy cat x.x, but hey I killed it :D) Thats when the fighting started, Tal jumped into the air throwing her spear & Wu jumped in slashing at another... Rhia on the other hand started off staying in stealth mode and struck with her coral dagger, before Ruppy & Rexxy moved in to strike dead another of these apparently zombified attackers.

By the end of Combat it was Rhias 1(hey she chopped its arm off, but it got back up & hit her with it). Ruppy had 3 kills between him & Rexxy. I got only 1 kill on my own. Though I should've known better than to keep using a gun on zombies, but then again at least I killed the first one with one shot (^_^ proud of myself). Tal  got 1, though I bet she would've killed more if her spear didn't keep getting stuck, though she did seem to have killed it twice O.o. & Wu killed three on her own3, & one in a collaborative kill between her, Ruppy <3, & me stabbing it in the head x3 (though I did misfire on it first <.<).

So after that Tal decided to run off, towards the river (apparently picking up Ben on the way) & Wu took off again with Rhias, & I can't help but wonder where she left Kat at O.O... So Ruppy & me, being unable to keep up with those two, decided to take off on shanghaied horses from the now redead Raiders. I actually figured out we are in Hades & decided to inform Ruppy to which I got no answer.

Now while I don't actually remember the exact course of events after that, I did learn from the others that there was apparently a Ferryman (Charon of course >.>), who took off with Elder Joshua. Then Wu & Rhias jumped in after them, before being thrown into the river. I do remember jumping into the river though to save them, after Ruppies & me showed up, but again things are hazy after that. Because I supposedly went goofy from the water, & even forgot my own name I've been told it's Kelly, but yaaa I don't think thats right... o.o;;;
