Cilda takes one look at the area. She squats down to get a closer look.
"Let's see if these footprints are easier to track than yesterday's. Where did that guy say they were again?"
" 'Merry women'? Really?" Cilda sighs. Do not smack his head around, he was only joking. Do not smack his head around, he was only joking. Do not smack his head around... "In any case, I'm ready to go check this stuff out," she says, readying her trusty lucrene hammer.
Cilda just watches the captain as he comes over to the group. She doesn't say anything as Sinque strikes up a conversation with him; let the smooth-talker deal with these guys.
Cilda is finishing the process of putting her armor on as she walks in towards the group. "I think you mean 'a lot of PUBLIC death and bloodshed', Uldu. The secret type is probably still happening a lot," she says as the last bits of her hide armor fit into place. "And I slept fine. Had a bite to eat from some food I carried with me. But I'm still not happy about how little we know about all of this."
Cilda glances around. Despite her best efforts, she could not find anything new. She sighed and said down to Sinque, "I won't mind. We'll probably get more done tomorrow with some rest." She begins to climb down the building.
"OH COME ON! Cilda shouts. She angrily throws the rope up at the roof again.
"Finally," she mutters, and slowly begins to climb the rope.
"Excellent." Cilda takes the rope and tries to throw it up onto the roof.
"If you guys found some tracks, I think I can give it a try. It'll be different from doing it through a forest, but shouldn't be too hard. Up on the roof, right?"
Cilda makes her way to the tracks and peers down to try and examine them.
"We go to find the dead guy's brother, and you two seem to get all the interesting stuff. Come on, fill us in,"Cilda says.
Cilda takes the money. "Yeah, you are in no shape to be by yourself, Lydia. And since I don't even know this guy here, I'll just stay and make sure the job is finished, if that's alright." The first moment she gets when Wilnan isn't looking, she whispers to Georgette, "You realize you aren't getting that five gold back, right?"
"Listen, we have literally just come from seeing your brother's body lying dead in the street. Lydia here is still......squeamish from having seen it. Do you have any idea how long it took me to convince her that she should even come here? She wouldn't stop crying about how much she loved that guy. We just want to talk. That's all."
Cilda holds in whatever she might be thinking of Georgette's performance and keeps up an appearance of stoicness. "We were hoping that we could at least stay here for a while. She's been going on like this ever since she found out, and is worried that she might be next. Hence why she hired me."
Cilda sighs as she sees Georgette starting to fake crying. "Is all that really necessary?"
Cilda I say we play nice and diplomatic and if that doesn't work then I'll use my friend Dagger here to loosen his tounge Georgette answers. "That's boring, isn't it?" Cilda replies. "But, if it works, I won't complain."
As Cilda and Georgette walk to Wilnan's, Cilda starts to feel more comfortable as they move away from the crowded city streets and into the open fields. Less of a chance for someone to try and jump them. "Alright then, Georgette. So, how do think we should approach this guy? You want to most of the talking, or should I try to ask the questions?"
Cilda impatiently motions for Georgette to hurry up. "Let's go, alright? Hopefully we might be able to finish this whole thing fast enough to get some sort of...compensation for our hard work."
"He's some noble, isn't he? That bodes badly by itself," Cilda says in response to Sinque. She checks that she has all her gear and prepares to head out. "Sinque, why don't you stay here and try to get the woman to talk. The rest of us can have a chat with this...Wilnan person."
The only reason I use the dice online rolling thing is to make sure that I'm being honest. I'd just be too tempted to say I got better rolls than I actually did otherwise. On the downside, it means that you can't actually get good rolls when you have crappy ones. Boo hiss.
"Damn it," Cilda says aloud. The hooded man has fled too far for her to catch up, but he's definately picked up some wounds that should make finding him easier. Cilda comes back to Uldumastie and the injured woman. "So, what's her story, Blondie?" she asks Uldumastie.
"Come on, damn it, just one shot," Cilda mutters to herself in time to notch one last arrow at the fleeing man.
Cilda soon reaches the corner that the fleeing man has turned. She's starting to get a bit tired from chasing him, but she's trying her best to ignore it. Instead, she draws her longbow and locks onto the fleeing man, hoping to hit him hard enough to take him down.
Cilda looks from the body of the bleeding woman that Uldumastie is attempting to healing to the fleeing hooded man and quickly makes a decision. She rushes after Caeradan and the man, attempting to catch up with them.
Cilda reaches the door as well, trying to check the outside with Sinque.
Cilda hears the sceam and grabs her things at her feet. "Move it, move, out of my way," she tells people roughly as she makes her way to the door and outside.
Cilda remains quiet throughout. She doesn't feel entirely comfortable surrounded by so many people that she doesn't know. The crowded building starts to make her just the tiniest bit paranoid. She maintains a look of "casual lack-of-intrest" while still looking around to be sure.
Cilda hangs out around C12. She isn't drinking anything, but occasionally looks around the room. She winces at Sinque's playing. "If you're going to play that, at least play something that sounds good," she calls over to him.
Oh, awesome. Thanks Connor!
Oh....nuts. Can't believe I overlooked that. Oops. Welp! Back to work then! Disregard this character I guess.
Alright, got a character set up. Hopefully she works well in this group. Can't wait to get it started!
Be sure to let me know too! Might be able to squeeze the time in somehow.
Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to continue on with the group. Things are getting ABSURDLY busy for me right now, so unfortunately I'll have to pass on continuing. It's been a lot of fun playing with you guys though!
Fortunately for Cilda, the spear does not appear to have done a large amount of damage. She just seems to shrug it off in her enraged state. She's still bleeding, but what pain she feels just has her want to destroy this alchemist even more.
Cilda only hears Maus say "Take out the controller." The bomb hits Cilda and makes everything feel cold. Growing up in Numeria, she's not too upset at this. She completely ignores the second zombie and rushes at the alchemist, fully intending to bring him down.
Cilda doesn't hear Maus's words of caution. She's gone into that single minded focus of destroying everything that stands in her way. Which right now means these two zombies. She lets loose a powerful swing of her hammer on the one that came from the alcove.
Well, alright then. Unfortunate that we won't get the whole experience, but at least we'll be finishing this. Can't wait to see what happens!
"This door will still be here when we get back,"Cilda says, backing away from it. Somethig about the star on the door just didn't sit right with her. "Let's keep moving."
Cilda waits a moment before entering the hallway. "Fine. Maus, I apologize. Just don't let it happen again." In the hallway, Cilda can't help but stare at the door. She whistles and says [b]"Damn. What in the world is behind this thing?"[b] She puts her hand on it, knocking it a few times with her open palm.
Must not kill Natty. Must not kill Natty. He makes a good distraction for people trying to kill us. Must not kill Natty. Cilda just keeps that thought rotating through her mind as she waits for everyone to make it to the other side. "First hands, then dog....things, now a snake. Anyone want to make bets what the next undead freak we'll find next will be?" she asks the group. She picks up the arrow she fired earlier and puts it back in its quiver. Cilda also notices Maus looking like he just came out of a daze and staring confusedly in front of him. "Were you not paying attention?" she says, responding to his question. "We got jumped by some kind of bone snake. Did you just stare off in the opposite direction the whole time or something?"
I've got 670, but I doubt it's that big of a deal.
Cilda leaps across to face the skeletal beast. She lets out a primal scream and slams down on the creature. It may not have felt that arrow she loosed, but it should feel THIS.
However, in her anger, she alerts the beast to quickly dodge, and Cilda unfortunately swings at empty air.
