Comments

for Nobbu - Quest #1 - Out of the City - Fight

[futhark]

[ While it feels strange to being untrained in the realms of magic, the knowledge and skill he had no longer applicable no longer working- at least there is one particular skill that was not lost in the trip to Geardagas. The skill is, of course, bashing heads in a conventional way.

Hand-to-hand combat preferred? Good. Magic can do more harm than good? It's not like he knows much about local magic anyway.

An experienced witch offered assistance and said assistance included providing two sets of gloves and facemask. He's told to wait for someone else who has also signed to assist with the problem and so witch shushes him away. What the problem is though? ]

Rats... [ The building is in a poor state but it works as a granary, or rather did until infected rats showed up. ] We're going to be killing rats today.

[ Caster says as he hears someone approach (his partner in this job he assumes ]

[atsumoribiito]

BANG!

[Instead of offering a greeting or anything of the sort, Nobunaga fires off a round from the lone gun she somehow managed to bring to the realm with her. The squeak that follow confirms that she hit her mark, somewhere in the gloom nearby, but her eyes are already on the much more alive figure nearby. ]

If they wanted to give us target practice, they could have at least found faster rats.

[Yes, this is her only issue with the job so far. If nothing else, she can offer a grin to a familiar face.]

Or did you already get all the good ones before I could get here?

[futhark]

[ Things that one could expect to hear in such a run-down building? NOT A GUNSHOT. It does startle Caster but when he turns around it's to see a familiar face. He offers a lopsided grin and throws an unopened pack featuring "gloves and facemask" ]

There's plenty left for you- I think that rat was the one evacuating from what lies ahead. [ A strange sound that follows his words seems to give credibility to this theory. It is also coming from the ceiling

Surprise! A large, Cwyld-infected rat drops down in space between them- it's movement erratic and both size and form strange and partially twisted. Caster bludgeons it with the heavy head of his staff, and it stills (is it really dead tho?) ]

You're on your own here? Or did the coughing one got dragged into as well?

[atsumoribiito]

[If it isn't dead, maybe they'll find out while Nobunaga's poking at it with the end of her sword. She's more than a little curious about this infection the locals seem so afraid of.]

If she's made it here too, I haven't heard one of those coughing fits yet.

[Her tone is perfectly conversational while leaning over the still form of the rat at their feet. Hm. Well whatever this is, it sure isn't pretty.]

Nobukatsu's here, though. But I wouldn't expect to find him outside the walls anytime soon.

[futhark]

｢ ooc: sorry for late reply, hiatused, vacationed, couldn't really tag ｣

[ Outside of the walls isn't for everyone true. Caster is drawn to the forest even despite its dangers, or maybe because of it? ]

Always merrier with a family, eh? [ If someone of his was here, there would probably be more dangerous adventures he could sign himself to. He unfastens a pouch from his belt, it's filled with smelly local herbs that are said to work as a rodent repellent, but to work best they might need a bit of magic. ] Were you granted spells here, Demon King? Or—?

[ Are you on the opposite end of this world's balance scale? ]
