Felicia dutifully sets to bringing in new wood for the fires, just in time to find Ludwig ceremonially placing Yuria's body atop the pyre. She comes to stand beside and places a few logs carefully at the foot - a small symbol of her gratitude - before the pyre is lit. "Thank you for doing that Ludwig - she was a wonderful companion. I hope she's beyond these dark times now." She stares solemnly at the fire for a short time before bowing her head, giving a short salute from her days as a Knight of the Twilight Order and continues about her small duty of helping to build and tend fires.

"Traps! What cowards would not stand and fight!?" Felicia hisses angrily, covered by muck and sweat. This swamp was already wearing on her thin patience. She happily falls back behind Pengaal "Thank you for taking the lead."
Felicia does her best to trudge through the loose earth and water as the group ventures further.
Felicia cracks her neck and gives a thought to Ludwig's musings, "A mad beast perhaps?" She sighs lightly, letting the breath slowly leave her body - it had been a long journey. With a smile and a chuckle she continues - "Maybe the Deep will shock us all with a friendly face and good food?" With that she dons her armor carefully, checking the straps and noting the many nicks it had taken for her. She places her pack on her back, her shield over it all like a large shell and says "Let's continue I suppose - towards the setting sun and into another wonderful adventure."
None here
Barring any objections I'd like to level up twice to 8th level.
Felicia steps to the edge of the pool gazing at the light - it had been so long in this cloying darkness. "Do you suppose it's real?" she asks no one in particular as she imagines the warmth of those lost days.
Felicia steels herself, a small moment of fear running through her, "We have come this far - let us not stop now." She moves towards the door and readies herself for what may lay beyond.

Felicia feels the pain wash through her body once more; her bones rearranging, her muscles aching, her flesh feeling ever more numb to the abyss. A slight haze fills her head, beckoning the darkness, and she considers how good it would feel to just drift away into a hazy dream. With an audible click one of her joints snaps and a fresh wave of pain pulls her back to reality. She gasps for air yet again, realizing she had been holding her breath as the curse wound its way through her once more. "Just one more..." she wheezes, clutching at her shield arm to brace it. Felicia turns to the Hand and begins to run, her heavy legs beating a steady rhythm on the ground. "Just one more...just one more, Just one more, JustonemoreJustonemore!"
With a violent grinding she feels her bones begin to rearrange and pain shoots through her and Felicia gasps as she feels herself slipping further from her humanity. Her mind swims, her vision narrows; it becomes difficult to recognize who's who as the battle swarms around her. She notices a corpse laying at her feet and far off is a man clashing with another, who are they? A slow heartbeat goes by and suddenly her pain and confusion is replaced by her anger. The creature's ichor pools from it's misshapen body and her shield gleams. Felicia sets eyes on the second Kingsman giving her compatriots trouble. "Fall to your knees!" She cries as she raises her shield as she delivers a hearty blow.

She regains her footing and stands against the foul creatures calling out to her comrades "Fear and falter not, for our cause is right and these twisted things shall be cast once more into the darkness!" Staring at the Kings Man that had come so close to falling her, she reels back, and delivers a mighty swing.
As her blows connect Felcia gives a small smile of confidence as she yells "I am Felicia of the Twilight Order, unbowed and unbroken!"
With a cry of pain Felicia staggers from the rain of blows. She positions herself into a favorable position with Ludwig and lets loose a furious onslaught as she feels the adrenaline surge through her.

Charge Action: .

Felicia stares half dazed at the figures as her mind reels back to foggier scraps of memory and teachings. Her eyes linger on the blood pooling beneath the door as she breaths, "We lost..." She grips her Twilight lantern that hangs at her side tightly, seeking any comfort from it's shrouded cold light.
"I was lost for a moment, but no, I don't think so." Felicia says slowly as the slight warmth of the cave starts to work on her.
Felicia feels the cold bite into her once more as she turns back, slowly making her way back to the cave. She raises her lantern high, hoping it will help guide Seigschwert back as well.
Felicia tries desperately to call for the knight as he strides out of sight. She whirls around realizing she can't see much of anything beyond the snow.
Felicia moves to the mouth of the cave, uncovering her Twilight Lamp once more. She moves carefully out of the cave in order to keep sight of Siegshwert.
Felicia wakes up and her eyes widen as Pengaal points towards the entrance. She carefully gets up, grabbing her shield.
Feeling some small amount of warmth Felicia sighs, "I am not so sure that creature shall return any time soon. Pengaal here seems to have dealt quite a blow to it's face. Although should it return it would want blood I'm certain." She squints down into the cave hoping to see what cannot be seen. "We should rest here a while. I can take a first watch and make sure nothing comes of these shadows." She removes a small battered brass lantern from her belt and removes a small shroud from around it allowing it's light to pour over everyone. She clips the lantern back into place and stows the length of cloth shroud into a small pocket.
Felicia moves forward and offers Pengaal an arm to help him to the caves as she raises her shield once more against the battering winds. "HOW IS IT?" She calls out over the wind pointing her chin to his Wounds.
