The guards let you by and so does Larina, with a hand on the hell hound.

The fire wall is opaque so you can't see through it. Kev: You avoid the miasma and find an opening to push on the front gate. They don't budge then you have to quickly retreat.
Round 105 (Free Trip if hit)
She drops her first target with a devastating sweeping kick. Then pummels another one with her other strikes. As the first one stands up and with the help of Quince he likely is dropped.

She charges up a bit slower and comes up on the other side of the bear... Round 2
She rides her huge mount of a hell hound through the main street as it is the only one that would allow for Ash's size. Reaching the Southern gate she yells, but can't be heard over all the noise. She dismounts and heads up the stairs. Once she finds Saren or Quince she asks, "Do you want me to come around with Ash from one of the other gates? Or protect the next gate?"
She would follow along to the building site of the tower. Bringing with her mount and one that could easily provide fire in most ways as Ash is a Nessian Warhound. ---
Outside she goes to the cave and whistles for Ash. Within a moment the hell hound was standing and ready to be ridden. She was glad that the exotic saddle had a seat belt to help keep her in the saddle. She fumbles with it as the servants are too terrified to get near the cave let along the hell hound.
Her first sentence seems like to it should explain it all but continues, "Well he is a hell hound. He doesn't fit in well with everything we have been trying to do and accomplish. If I am not with him he sets lots of things on fire."
"Things are not as I wished, Ash here I fear will have to seperate from me. Perhaps Sulvanii will be able to take care of him better. I am happy in my marriage and all the perks that come with it." She relays with a heavy heart.
"Once we know you are safe and in the castle, I will be joining them. Blue signal whistle please." She states to Quince and then asks Krazok and her guards which signal whistle to use.
She shadowed Quince, not letting him out of her sight. She relaxed a bit as they collected the four guards assigned to her and Quince.
She looked over at her love and offered her hand as the foreboding news hit the Wardens. She acted quickly after Saren and helped secure the bear.
She gets more and more excited and involved in her wedding plans. She had sent out all the invitations and her parents should be here any day. Flowers provided by Katrina who bloomed blue flowers in the cathedral for the wedding. The catering was all agreed upon and the staff of the kitchen of the cathedral would be well compensated. Her gown was being finished in Restov, she would go get it with her parents. She is talking with Katrina a lot for many reasons.
"I would have napped if I could, this took one more trip and the night of work. The island still gives off an eerie feeling but like Sulvanii told me, a consecration of the land and it should be good. Especially with the wisps dealt with and the tower repurposed." She says with a bit of disdain.
She smiles at the suggestion and offers a hand to Sulvanii, like he needs it. At the island she seems as unnerved as most and stays on Ash until getting to the tower proper.
She focuses a bit much on any sound that comes from the area.
She is likely the last one to get to the stables on her hell hound Ash.
She stands and walks beside Katrina trying to help her walk and she says, "I will make a sacrifice too."
Military Council "My opinion is that this whole deal has radically gotten out of control. Like Quince said, use the truth. If you need more blunt instruments just point me in the right direction." She offers.
Month 14 wishes
Larina is not used to such attention and blushes but she puts her glass up with the rest of you and lets it all out, "Huzzah! Thank you all for being here tonight and with such good company and food we should a wonderful meal!"
"Oh yeah! People have been flocking to our little country, in almost every house there is an additional family! I have found some families in lean-tos at night. I have made sure they had enough blankets to stay warm. Maybe I should have said something, I thought we knew about our population booming." She replies to Tristan and joins you to see if there is a place she can lend a hand.
Hearing about the squatters she asks Tristan, "Anything I need to enforce?! Where were they squatting anyways?" Most of the time she would be working with the guards and the soldiers. She trains and acts as one of the captains in the military but her time to shine is when the two groups need coordination as they all know her well. Luckily it has not been needed but she does drills on them to keep them in ready shape for any threats.
Round 2 She steps back to be 5 feet away from Saren.
Round 2
She saves and lets Saren go steping back slowly. "It would have been better if you just hugged her like me..."
She is not hostile, compared to two hot heads I see. H3CK if she was doing anything hostile I would have went after her first. I was expecting the drain and sorry for missing her putting her hands all over you. XP I am surprised you didn't move away in the first place as the door opened. I was SHOCKED!
Hey! Lorina went after Saren! And grappled him!!!
She looks to Selena, and states, "I will hold Saren!" She charges in and tumbles at the last second just in case then tackles him.
She allows the magic to flow through her as it drains her of some ability. She loses 2 Strength and 2 Wisdom.
She looks to Tristan, "What do you think?!"
She apparently doesnt like the situation and looks to Quince, "Your orders Quince?!"
She stops as well and sits down to meditate.
She holds onto Tristan, hugging him from behind as they ride. At the blinding beacon she dismounts with a side flip.
She covers her eyes shielding them from the light and asks, "Are you sure Katrina, I don't think I can see?!"
"Yes, it looks to be to the North a few miles out of town. There is a great light where it landed." She relays.
She stands and asks Tristan, "Should we go up to the tallest turret to get an eagle's eye view on the area should it already of fallen?!"
"Oh I know what you mean, planning this wedding has been fun but also exhausting. This will be a nice get away. Restov was nice but I didn't get to punch anything." She agrees with Katrina with equal exuberance. She looks around and asks, "Where is your hubby? Oh there I see him still with the horses. I swear if Tristan is late again I am going to punch him. Hey where is Quince? Who else is coming?" She explodes with questions. Cleo: The hell hound surprisingly is gentle as it takes the jerky from your hand. Then it moves towards you as you pat it.
Soon enough the two of you are on Ash and he begins to gallop around. Then Larina asks, "He is warmed up, you ready to go to Restov?" With a yes she taps his right shoulder and after he begins to run you shift to the ethereal plane. Everything seems to take on a foggy look and is a dark scale. Within a few hours Ash slows down and leaves the plane behind. You see the gates of Restov only a few hundred feet away. Larina says, "We would go closer but they can't believe I have control over him. I can stay or come pick you up in a few days?"
Cleo: "He is surprisingly a smoother ride than most horses," she says as she pats the large mount. With a mischievous smile she adds excitedly, [b]"There are other secrets too. Come here and feed him some jerkyJerry. She pulls out a large swath of jerky, handing it out to you.
Cleo: She turns and smiles at you, a bit excited she says, "Yes, and yes it is for my mount and your ride ASH! Ash firebeather!" At the mention of his name a flame scorches the door a little before bursting from the mostly fire resistant stable.
Cleo:
As you likely track her down to a large barn made of soil and rocks behind Tristan's folks place. The two large wooden doors are scorched with flames.
You actually catch her walking to the 'barn'. The 2nd of the next month arrives and she is all packed ready to hit the exploration with the group. Her mount waits elsewhere but she walks the castle courtyards waiting for the others. She stops and smiles as Katrina comes for her and hugs her back.
Tristan: Larina quickly tracks you down and asks, "Should we give Cleo a hand and do some wedding shopping?"
To use later:
She gives you a big hug and a kiss, then whispers, "not tonight dear, I need to get that scene out of my mind. I am going for a run with Ash."
Uh hmm, she mumbles out in Tristan's arms.
She smiles at Tristan's attention and places her hands on his sides. She answers his question, "Yes, that was the cult. I was there. It was a massacre. I could do little to stop it."
Cleo: "Okay," is the only word that she says not sure what to say or to do about the situation. Clearly a bit distraught.
She is in no mood to go in the tavern herself. Once Cleo leaves she slowly walks back home. She goes to the stone barn and hugs Ash, curling up beside him for the night.
Cleo: Seeing you pop you head out of the alley way makes her slow her step and then comes to you. "Well I did have to get that scene all wrapped up before I could get away. You..." she begins to say before sighing and rolling her eyes a little. "Did you take care of the bodies? Or will there be a call for a slasher tomorrow?" [ooc]With the obvious given she grabs her chin and thinks on the situation. "At least you are effective. With the cult gone my work is done, well maybe your work is done. Oh I don't know, too many bodies for my tastes, at least of commoners. I am not going to say innocent for why else would you join that cult." You can tell she is thinking as she is spewing other thoughts out. "You need to clean up, come to my house and we can figure out what to do there."
It happens Tristan, thanks for checking in! Cleo: "Well taking it another step an routing the cult should work. Please finish the work before you and I will see you at the tavern." She says rather confidently she offers her hand before they go their seperate ways for now.
Cleo: "Thank you," are the words that finally come to her mouth, as before she was wordless. She nods to the woman and heads out of the house. Once Cleo is done she finds Larina waiting outside, "I am Larina Loren, one of the captains of the guard, and you are?" Once formalities are done she asks a few more questions, "Any that need to be arrested, I assume they have all been handled with then? Well I should probably go check with Stalker and have him deal with that mess. You fine checking on those other names and then we can meet at the tavern?"
Oh! Do I need to roll HP? Also anything special I need to plan for Cleonora's introduction? Cleonora:
Larina will do her part and try and get recruited by the cult so we can find out what's going on. Supposedly a cult of angry women have been collecting together.
That is it in a nut shell. Though honestly coming in as an associate of Bearik. Friend of mine. Or some other connection would be better. Maybe you are hunting a particular woman for evil rituals. What do you think? The others have technically only been away for a day. It will take me three days to find them and get pulled into the cult. As a scaled Fist I could fight my way out at any moment but I want to learn about everything first and keep notes on them.
She looks a bit puzzled but then nods. She lets him dip her a bit and kisses him back with passion and a bit of need. "Love you too. You know I won't. Will do, see you soon."
She smiles at her being brought up, she takes a few moments to think it over and nods thoughtfully, "I will do my best, a women's touch might be easier to get close to him."
Very quietly she whispers in Tristan's ear, "Killing him in front of the townsfolk would be the worst. Of course my dear." hours later she finds out that it is mostly just rumors. Nothing concrete and no easy leads. Some of the folk said that pained women are the most likely to join such a cult. There are 6 women named but there could be more.
