Bittersweet Candy Bowl

Raised eyebrows. I like your style, kid. Like a younger version of myself, but without as much smartass.

I’ve got some wine in my sack if you really want to have some fun.

(Awww gotta go auto now T-T. Keep my tactics the same as before. Defend Delilah, use knives and rapier, takes orders from Makar, Delilah and Lieselotte. Keep the stuff sexy for me when I get back ;D. Just don’t leave too much text for me to read )

(Oh and please make sure Dave doesn’t get me drunk and sleep with me okay 0_o)

Er….I was going to check on our wounded comrade.

Walks off to find Lily.

(haha you don’t have to worry about Dave doing that.)

Dave, when you’re as seasoned a drinker as I, you end up being able to bring a small brewery worth of spirits around with you. Wanna get smashed?

You read my mind entirely Hannibal…lets get hammered!

((Anyone that wants to join in on wacky, debauched antics feel free!))

Hannibal opens up his seemingly unlimited stash of drinks.

To good fortunes and adventure!

(For the record, I retrieved my blade before walking off.)

Not the best time to get drunk…We should get moving soon, I’m certain Reinhild has sent more goons by now.

(Going into Auto for a bit: Keeps an eye out for trouble and tries to find Lily.)

(Why do I feel that this won’t end well?)

I’ll drink to that!

Dave grabs a bottle and begins to drink

Hannibal begins to drink, gaining:

***SPECIAL ABILITY: Drunken fighter!***

((lol, This isn’t meant to be taken seriously, but it’s an idea I came up with before the SAG started. Let me know if it’s too god-moddy-ish. If not, I think I could use all the buffs I can get thanks to that idiot getting me cursed.))

((Ahhh fudgems. Auto mode. Get me drunk enough to enjoy myself but still a capable fighter. If trouble hits, I protect high value individuals, but with more self preservation than last time. I follow orders primarily from the Lord, the Lady, and the Princess; in that order. And if you guys feel like throwing some action my way, I wouldn’t mind at all&hellip)

(I’ll have to stand in automode for an hour or two. I already said how Lord Makar will act in the mean time.)

(tl;dr, what has happened?)

“BANDITS!” Carter rushed towards the group, the smoke from the fire leading his way. “Bandits were here!” he pant with his hands on his knees in from of Makar and Lucy.

(Screw it.)

As he wakes up, the paladin notes the time.

*Shit, I overslept!!*

Guys, what’s going on? Wait, what about bandits?

Dave puts down the bottle

Are you sure about this jester?

((Ugh, I come back and I’m totally confused. Are we actually under attack or what? As far as I know, Lieselotte has been at the river cleaning up))

(I think Carter is refering to the swords Hannibal took from him while he was asleep.)

Damn… If I only had been a lot earlier… they had the chance to rest…

No matter, I should still be able to delay them… they must not arrive my lair before I am fully healed.

Thinks while floating above the party once again.

Her leg has not healed yet, but it has stopped bleeding.

She puts her hands together and begins casting a summoning spell.

Lord Makar felt something weird during his way to the river and decided to run faster.
Something is about to happen… I must reach Lady Lieselotte before it!

Notices something moving fast through the woods.

Where could he be going with such a hurry?

Following his apparent path with her eyes, she notices that Lieselotte is alone by the river.

Ah… the vampire… hehehe. The two of them won’t stand a chance. I better start off by eliminating them.

Turns around and continues summoning in the direction of Makar and Lieselotte.

Arriving the river, Makar grabbed Lieselotte’s hand.
I explain later! Something is going to happen and we must reach the others before the worst!

((sorry about not getting on yesterday, but when I finally got home the internet was going off and on for some reason, but if I did it would’ve just been: Follow group, watch them fight bandits, commandeer cave from a bear, sleep))
As Kriegsherr awoke from his rather long sleep in a commandeered bear cave, he realized how late it was. He then immediately hopped up and gathered his stuff, along with a piece of the bear’s meat wrapped in rather worn out rag, and walked towards the camp
Their fire appears to still be going, perhaps they’re still there? …Then again they don’t really seem like the kind who’d wait this long before moving.
Kriegsherr begins sprinting extremely fast right next to the river, due to the lack of trees to dodge

Having cleaned up, she sits beside the river to dry. She enjoyed her short time alone, humming as she listened to the sounds of the forest, and smelled the sweet scents that permeated the woods.

((This occurred before Lord Makar’s post))

(You may want to edit your post, Makar is trying to take you away.

Ok, what do you do now in response to Makar’s actions?)

(disregard)

(Damn… I really need Lieselotte’s response in order to know what to do next. If there’s no response, I’m gonna assume she didn’t listen and remained by the river.)

Snapped out of her happy little moment she glares at Lord Makar.
You had better be right about the urgency of this event. I was have a pleasant morning believe it or not.

((Sorry, managing multiple things at once))

(Well then I guess I should explain myself. It is as Herald says.)

“Who else would steal the blades from that guy?” Carter explained. “I’ll bet they took it while I was dreaming of… dreaming.” He shook his head, trying to remember what he dreamed about. Weird… it wasn’t Lucy…

He’s taking her away! Damn! No matter, the summoning is finished. I might possibly attack them once before the rest of them join.

Come forth my creature of darkness! Slay these fools who dare to defy me!

She shouts, revealing her location. A big black portal forms at the river, and a loud growling can be heard from within. Those that turn and look into it, notice a pair of big yellow eyes opening.

(Note: Battle still hasn’t started)

(ARE WE REALLY GONNA FIGHT AGAIN? I’M ABOUT TO LEAVE. )

(First boss fight!! DX)
He looked up for a second to notice Reinhild, but charged up to the camp when he jeard a loud roar coming from the river.
Hurry, Lieselotte!!

(But why? Its only 8 PM there, you must defend Lucy! D=)

The paladin hears the growling with his fairly acute hearing.

What was that?! I’m going to investigate, but I refuse to go alone. Who is coming with me?

Dave puts the bottle down and stands up

That sounded bad I will aid you Icarus. Lord Makar and Lieselott could be in danger.

I was wondering when you were going to show up…Lets see you block this.

Pulls out longbow and after enchanting an arrow with lightning, plans on shooting her the first chance he gets.

I’m right behind you!

The dark figure of a dragon steps out, of the portal, and seeing Lieselotte and Makar fleeing, roars once again.

Opening its mouth wide, it launches flames from its mouth aimed at the two of them.

Reinhild is far away enough to see the arrow coming. Dodging it easily, she laughs and flees the scene.

COWARD!

Hearing the roar.

…That doesn’t sound good.

Kriegsherr skid to a sudden halt in the partially wet sand and mud, turned and dove behind a conveniently placed boulder just within the edges of the forest. He scrambled up the boulder a little to peek his head out, and as soon as he notices the dragon he takes a fair sized rock off the boulder and puts it on his head
Better to have a little bit of camouflage rather than none, cause that thing looks really friggin’ scary!

The sleeping dancer jolts awake from her sleep at the sound of a loud roar. Rubbing the sleep from her eyes, she looks around, trying to figure out what woke her up. Hearing the pattering of feet and seeing people dashing off, she gets up, still wearing her clothing from the previous day, all wrinked up from her sleeping.

Hey, what’s going on? Are we in danger? *she looks around, trying to spot anything around the camp, not knowing what is going on at all*

Into the river, quick!
She screams at Makar as she grabs his hand and pulls with her unnatural strength, heading straight for the river while ducking the broiling flames.

(nvm.)

Carter’s eyes bulge out, giving him an even more creeped-out feel.

“It’ him!” He shrieks. “This thing was in my nightmare last night!” Carter shivers and hides behind the nearest person to him.

[Battle start]

(Makar and Lieselotte already took first action.)

So has Carter - he’ll try to hide from the dragon behind someone else, or cover, if there is any nearby.

(Don’t their actions kind of… contradict each other?)

Me? Well, I’m only gonna take one action: Hide in cover if it’s available, hide near someone else if it isn’t.
