Ivy and Chrome: Chapter 112

[Chaser1]

Ricky apprehensively peers in the direction of the groaning, yet not willing to let someone in need die. Raven mutters something in an arcane tongue and momentarily shimmers. Cassandra turns towards the noise, drawing her twin sabres as she turns.

Seconds later, the silohoette of a slender, yet beautiful female agonizingly crawls from the underbrush into the clearing in front of everyone. She unconsciously rolls over to her back, her hair spawling across her heartshaped face. Her eyes are covered completely by some metal blinder, completely obscuring her eyes. Her clothing leaves much to the imagination, with only a thin, transparent fabric covering her. Her only other clothing are her form fitting thigh high boots and bikini bottoms. Her obnoxiously large breasts are covered by the transparent material and give her skin a tanned, smooth appearance. Then, everyone notices that the transparent cloth has burns scattered throughout her torso, revealing milky skin. Her leg has a cauterized gash; more than likely caused by an energy blade or magical sword. Her left arm is pinned underneath of her back, from rolling over. Yet, her right hand limply clutches a burn wound on her abdomen. What seems most interesting is the bracelet on her wrist, which seems to be some form of wrist blaster. Her knuckles are sliced, more than likely from punching something or someone. Her breathing is shallow. It's possible that she is unconscious.

"I am a hell of a lot better at killing than healing," the honey haired woman in a naval uniform states. Her hand however goes away from her sword being that the danger level seems relatively low. "I can put her in suspended animation and when she wakes up in ten year, she will be fully healed." There is irony in her tone, suggesting that the group likely will not want to wait that long.

OOC: Is this the same woman that Dirk was tracking moving towards the group?
OOC2: Is she wearing an amulet that Tyran might happen to recognize as a duplicate of his?

"Careful," Tyran cautions. "She may be unconscious, but that doesn't guarantee that she isn't dangerous."

Then, contradicting his own words, he kneels down near the woman; using Dirk to keep tabs on the activities occurring around them and in the distance. In a soft voice, he asks in a few different languages "Are you okay? What happened? What's your mission?"

OOC: No, she doesnt have the amulet. And yes, same woman.

"I am a hell of a lot better at killing than healing," says the honey-haired woman in the naval uniform. Her hand, however, leaves her sword as the danger level seems relatively low. "I can put her in suspended animation and when she wakes up in ten years, she will be fully healed." she says, dripping with irony, suggesting that the group likely won't wait that long.

"Careful," Tyran cautions. "She may be unconscious, but that doesn't guarantee that she isn't dangerous." Then, contradicting his own words, he kneels down near the woman; using Dirk to keep tabs on the activities occurring around them and in the distance. In a soft voice, he asks in a few different languages "Are you okay? What happened? What's your mission?"

Upon closer inspection, Cassandra realizes that the armor the woman is wearing is very similar to the armor worn under her own clothing. Mostly see through but quite comfortable.

Raven snorts, "An Altaran from Atlantis. I've only ever met one that I can semi-trust. And that isn't her." The woman lies there, just breathing and not moving. Raven, looks down his nose at her, "Do you know where you are?" Still no answer. He nods over to Cassandra and Tyran, "It's best not to take our eyes off of her, she could be acting." He gives an quick, uneasy glance toward Kila. The faerie flutters back to the group, no walnuts or tarts in her hand, but she grins at Raven. She seems to tilt her head to one side and childishly giggle, "'You are in the wrong place,' she says.

Raven looks startled as he and his belongings begin to glow, he slowly begins to fade from view. "Hey! What are you doing?" He exclaims, now looking fully at the faerie.

Meanwhile, above, Dirk can see the Millennium Tree begin to glow towards the top at the same time as Raven begins to fade.

OOC: KC, Charity, Tim and Ryloc (you all still playing?)

[Kitsune]

ooc: Being that Casandra is something of an expert of Dimensional expert, based on her class, does she know what is happening with Raven?
She will cast 'See Dimensional Anomaly'

[misstiger]

Ricky still keeping her guard up attempts to assess the mysterious woman's wounds. Casting around for plants that may be beneficial to stopping the bleeding, and attempting to bring the woman back to consciousness. Hesitantly touching the woman to find the severity of her wounds.

OOC: Wardo, you really have to ask if I'm still playing, silly Wardo.

[Chaser1]

The faerie gives a slight screech and flies away, obviously frightened.

Cassandra can be heard muttering something in an arcane language, then she seems to focus her gaze on Raven.

Ricky still keeping her guard up attempts to assess the mysterious woman's wounds. She looks around but can't seem to find any plants that would be useful. Upon touching the woman, she realizes that her breathing is quite shallow. She can see the wounds that the woman is covering look to be a cauterized into her abdomen, revealing some of her intestines. She is gravely wounded, the severity is unknown, but it doesn't look good.

Lorianna steps forward, using two fingers to comb back her dark silky hair, revealing her elven ears. Kneels next to Ricky, then nods for a moment, "She needs antibiotics and stitching on her leg and stomach. We need something to disinfect and clean the wounds." She looks at everyone, "I'm not very good at stitching. Do any of you know how?" She holds the Altarain's wrist and frowns, accenting her bright green eyes, "Her pulse is weak."

OOC: running Kila NPC for now until her player returns.

Kila carefully steps forward, reaching her hand towards Raven, as he seems to concentrate hard. The glow slowly fades as his translucency fades with it. He turns to look at Kila, "I..." then stops speaking and just stares, accusingly.

Kila seems genuinely frightened for him, "Raven, what happened?"

He frowns and states, "Nothing..." Then kneels down with Lori, ignoring Kila and Cassandra. "Glad you guys listen to me about being careful. So now we have two people that we need to carry." As if on queue, Jenna's color has fully returned and her eyes flutter awake. She rolls to her side and promptly vomits. Cassandra and Ricky both notice Raven's hands are shaking uncontrollably.

[misstiger]

Ricky quickly gets her sewing needle and some thread from her bag. Looking to the rest of the people in the group she asks, "Can any of you heal? Or can you place her in suspended animation long enough for me to clean and attempt to care for these wounds? Currently with the severity of her wounds, I seriously doubt she will be much of a threat and she will die from them if nothing is done. As I see it, we have two options let her die or heal her, either way I don't want to meet what ever it was she fought.

ooc: I changed my email address and could not post for a few days as a result.

Cassandra states, "Somebody is casting a powerful summoning spell on Raven. With some luck, I might b able to resist it but I cannot stop it from happening. A full fledged temporal raider or a more powerful wizard or warrior could stop it possibly."

Suddenly an inspiration comes to her, "The Tree might be able to stop it as well."

She keeps a sideways eye at the Blind Warrior Woman, wondering if she is a rebel from the Splugorth or a potential enemy.
