Guuuuuuuuys.

The cavaliers were now more confused than anyone else. Asoth rubbed his chin, thinking Einar's explanation over. It took him few seconds.

"It's true that Ashath the Dragonslayer married Eferian princess in exchange for a promise that his father would be lenient to the populace... but I'm not sure about the name. We will escort you to nearest city with Archives, that would it be-"

Eleonore let out a sigh and seemingly regained counsciousness, placing hand on her forehead.

"Tell me it's just a dream..." She mumbled weakly as she lifted herself from Halldora's knee.

_{"Sir, they're behaving strangely and are suspiciously dressed. I suggest we arrest them."}

"_{That's a bit rushed, Olivier. They could be southerners.} Are you people allright? If you have been poisoned or some other ailments are affecting you, my troubadours could heal you. Also, I'm still waiting for your names. I would also want to know where do you come from? The fainted lady looks like one of the priestesses from the Southern Empire. If that's true I will require your travel permit as well."

Cidney and Halldora rushed to score some mad hits on the beasties.

Hit: 94+10-19 = 85
Hit roll: 23, hit!
Damage: 12-2 = 10dmg

Chieftain counters!
Hit: 95-10-19 = 66
Hit roll: 76, miss!

Hit: 107+15+5-12 = 115, autohit!
Damage: 10+1-3 = 8dmg

Then Einar shot at the Chieftain; the arrow hit right in the monster's head. With a pitiful gurgle, the mighty beast fell down.

Hit: 102+15+10-19 = 108, autohit!
Damage: 24-6 = 18dmg

The moment the largest of gargoyles fell down, the rest took into the air and flew away, screeching, squeaking and shrieking in terror and fear of the ones that felled their chieftain.


The horse-stomping came closer. Suddenly, the pair of gargoyles that flew south from Jorund and O'Connor got pincushioned by many arrows!

Soon, an entire cavalry unit ran from around the corner, quickly forming a lengthy line. There was at least ten cavalries, five bowmen on horses, and two horsemen with healing staves. A horseman in cape and decorated armor rode from between the lined cavaliers and looked at Eleonore and her guards.

"Greetings! We have heard the Howl of the Hunt, but I see-" He glanced at the corpse of the gargoyle's leader. "That our intervention wasn't really necessary."

Eleonore stepped forth and looked at the mysterious cavalry leader. She seemingly took great notice of his armor. Then she looked at his face just in the same moment as he looked at her face.

There was a moment of silence as the two stared...

"Thank you kind sir, could you help us? We seem to be a little... lost. First of all, can I have your name?"

"You're speaking with Prince Asoth, praefect of the Western Territories, son of Emperor Horus the Third, ruler of the Northern Rivan Empire!" The horseman at Asoth's right spoke loudly - Eleonore blinked, her mind processing the wording of that introduction.

"_{Thank you Olivier but I could do it myself.} Well, there's that. May I have your name, m'lady?"

"I... I would rather... could you tell us where we are? We have stepped of the road and... got lost..." Eleonore's face turned pale as she touched her head gently. She didn't look well.

"...You're strange one. But I guess I can tell you? These are ruins of Castle Eferia, a kingdom that my venerable ancestors conquered three hundred years ago and- M'lady!"

Eleonore fainted and collapsed to the floor.

Elegance and Presence for new hats.

Thet two gargoyles in the south ganged on Jorund and O'Connor,

Then, the gargoyle chieftain and his 'guards' flew south to wreak havoc on the Eleonore's entourage.

~~Allies Turn!~~

Eleonore stepped toward Cidney and touched him with her staff.

15+6 = Up to 21HP restored

Suddenly, the sound of gallopping horses could be heard. For now it was faint, and was seemingly coming from south west.

Darnit Swordstar. If you'd killed a different Gargoyle, that'd have been nice. Gargoyle H was the only one I could reach. >.>

But you have 6 MOV and ranged weapon, you can easily reach A? v:

Oh just checked. Scavenger's that part of thief family that's lame and doesn't have 6MOV at start.

Your loss
