Description: There are always negatives when attempting a summoning and using the dark arts of the past without understanding all of the symbols. Yet, when one mistakes, the rune for “friend” with the rune for “undead” you start to wonder about the idiots in the world.
Minimum Number of Players: 1
Minimum Word Count: 2000 per person
Location: Aries Garse
NPC Information: Idiot Cultists are running around the outskirts of Aries Garse screaming for help. They’re wearing suspicious dark purple robes and need to be arrested for the fact that they unleashed monsters on the population.
Enemies: Ghouls x 6 per player
Ghouls are fleshy boney golems that walk on four legs. They charge at whoever nears them because they have a strong sense of smell and have intermediate health while dealing intermediate damage.
Special Conditions: Defeat the ghouls and arrest the cultists.
Fuu found herself standing at the entrance of Aries Garse this night. Apparently, there was a report of cultist activity...and ghouls?
Whoever these cultists are, they were not the brightest as they apparently summoned and let loose a bunch of strange creatures onto this poor town by mistake, and the dwarf was among the two that was called in to handle this situation...
"This couldn't have waited until the morning...?" Fuu groaned to herself before yawning, not running on that much sleep. "Why do cultists always have to do their cult shit in the dead of night?" She then leaned against a nearby tree with her arms crossed. Ever since what happened to Artemis and her revelation with Waylynn, Fuu has been taking more initiative, training more, and doing more jobs to better herself. She made it clear to her superiors that she'd be available at all times...but now she was regretting that.
Residents of this town have been informed to remain in their homes or other secured buildings so that these monsters won't get them, and to not let in any of the cultists who are still at large within this place.
The earth mage looked back towards the path she came from to get here, her tired eyes scanning the area in search of someone. "Where the hell is that weirdo?" Fuu scoffed, blowing a strand of hair impatiently away from her face. It was rare to see Fuu actually be the first to a job, usually coming in carelessly late, but again she has been trying to better herself which also means being punctual...no matter how much she hates it...
"Probably still off sleeping in his bed....Must be reaaallll freakin nice..." Fuu sighed before standing up from the tree, looking once again at the town's entrance. She could hear faint, ghoulish moans, causing the earth mage to shake her head. "I should just go in myself..." she muttered, cracking her knuckles.

[break][break] It's been about a month since the last time Kreig had gone out on a mission. His thumbs were twiddling with joy to get back out in the field. The mission prior he was tasked out to defeat the Witch Hat for a second time. Since then the mage had been on a long yet lonely vacation. Though he was truly a nice guy he wasn't one to make many friends. In fact Kreig had no friends whatsoever and the time alone gave him plenty of opportunity to dwell on the reasons as to why. The only point in which he could ponder up was that the gods had not made plans for him to have a true comrade. [break][break] Well today was going to be his first day back in performing his magic knight duties. The lightning mage was truly excited about the opportunity to serve his kingdom once more. His goals were to one day become the captain of the Azure Deer squad and lead them to be as coveted as the Golden Dawn. However, in order to do so he would need merit. That meant taking one must be ready and willing to take on any duty and perform the duty to the best on their abilities. The knight must stand out among all other knights attempting to jot their names down in the history of the Clover Kingdom. [break][break] Hmmm, A Summoning Gone Wrong. Kreig though to himself as he began to read over the missions details.
My beloved knights of the kingdom I love so dear. It has come to my attention that perhaps something is stirring within the Aries Garse region. I have not much details of the matter other than some cultist and ghouls. For this is why I am reaching out to you Kreig of the Rosenthal family. I've heard that you have been performing rather well as of last. Therefore I believe in heart of hearts you are the right man for the task. I ask of you to head down to the village and find out what exactly is going on and put an end to it. But beware, their may be some people with evil intentions. [break][break] P.S. I also tasked out another of your fellow knights to assist you in achieving this goal. I believe you two have met once before. Join with them tonight near the Aries Garse entrance and make a plan before entering. [break][break]
Wizard King
[break] Kreig the closed the mission scroll and was perhaps even before exited that previous to reading it. I wonder who I will be working with this time around? Hopefully it's someone nice that I could make friend with. [break][break] Later That Night: [break][break] Fast forward throughout the day and the time now was dusk. Not quite night as of yet, but late enough that all shops were either closed or closing. Kreig was closing in on the location just outside of the Aries Garse village. He wasn't sure but in the distance he could see a figure standing along as if they were awaiting on the arrival of another. Cheerio! Cheerio! He waved to get the attention of the figure in the distance. A colleague for I am looking, state yourself if you please. the lightning mage would continue to walk toward the figure. [break][break] As soon as Kreig had gotten close enough to see; it was to his surprise his comrade was the young lady of whom went on the adventure with him in the Eldritch Home. Good day ye fellow confidant. Be it that ye sentiment is an adequate one don't you say? The Azure Deer had not known the young lady's actual name. Weird that they had an entire mission and never thought to ask the other of any information. I take it as given a letter of confidentiality you received? Shan't this be unchallenging, one still needs a proposition. Kreig gazed into the young lads face as he prepared to continue. With the use of the dark side of the art it would seem a cultist group are up to no good. Kreig then gave a quick glance across what he could see. The town appears to be pretty speechless In this darkness of night. [break] @morty [break]

Growing impatient, Fuu was just about ready to just dive right into town to try and handle this situation herself...until she had heard the sound of that familiar voice, making her wince a bit.
"Ch-cheerio...?" she repeated under her breath. "Don't tell me..." The dwarf turned around, her tired eyes setting upon that familiar blue-haired male. Looks like the lightning mage had made it after all, but Fuu was still debating to herself if that is a good thing or not. With arms crossed, Fuu looked up at the taller man as he started talking about colleagues and stating themselves. "Ehhh, don't you ever get tired of ya know...talking?" Fuu asked once the man got close enough. She was mostly referring to the way he speaks instead of talking in general...but the girl didn't really care enough to elaborate.
"Letter?" Fuu tilted her head a bit, but raised an eyebrow, just now remembering. "You mean the job thingy? Ah, I just skimmed through it and ripped it up...Idiot cultists and ghouls were all I needed to know." The girl shrugged before walking towards the town's entrance. "A shame we have ta arrest the cultists...Kinda wanted to thrash em along with those monsters."
Placing her hands on her hips, Fuu looked over the town while the lightning mage made his little comment on it. "Pretty sure the townspeople were also asked to stay indoors until this stuff blows over." Saying this, a wicked grin had appeared on the earth mage's face as she started to walk into town. "Which means, I get to let loose...heh."
The lightning mage wasn't wrong, however. The town was eerily quiet now with only the footsteps of herself and presumably her teammates, but the girl didn't seem concerned. Having gone through a spooky ass mansion twice will kinda have that effect on some people.
So far nothing has happened....then something dark had quickly darted into an alleyway the earth mage was about to come up upon. "There!" Fuu yelled out before running towards that direction, her grimoire floating up beside her. She was ready to whoop some ass...not caring whose ass it was!
Darting into the same alley, Fuu came across the dark figure in a corner looking around frantically for a way out. "Gotcha! Hope ya said your prayers, gho-" As Fuu walked up to it, she paused. It wasn't a ghoul but rather one of those cultists, a female, appearing a few years older than the dwarf, cowering in fear. "Please don't eat m-Wait..." the cultist peeked up to look at the confused earth mage. "Oh...you're not one of them..." The cultist said, with a sigh of relief. "Well you're going to wish I was if ya don't start talkin!" Fuu grabbed a hold of the girl's shirt, sending the cultist into a bit of a panic again.
"I-I'm sorry! I didn't...we didn't know that it would summon those things!" The cultist claimed only causing Fuu's grip on her to tighten. "How many more cultists are here? What about the ghouls?" Fuu was now gritting her teeth. "F-four! They are around the town, h-hiding from them!"
Before Fuu could continue with her harsh interrogation, unholy groans and moans could be heard coming from the entrance to the alley. "A-Ahhhhhhh! Th-th-they're here!" Turning around, they would see three of those freaky looking ghouls slowly approaching the alley. A challenging grin had formed the earth mages face. "Finally, something ta punch!" She then glanced over to the cultist. "Well, something else that is..." With that, the young noble punched the cultist clean in the face, knocking her out before standing up. "We can restrain her later." Fuu's grimoire started to glow now. "Gaia's Protection." A brownish aura was now surrounding the girl, paired with earth crafted gauntlets and boots.
Wasting no time, Fuu rushed to one of the ghouls with her aura flaring and punched a hole right through one of the ghoul's chest, putting a swift end to it! As that ghoul turned to dust, one of the other two had placed its freakish hand on the dwarf's head, but before it could do anything else, Fuu grabbed onto the ghoul's wrist with both hands and used her reinforced strength to lift it over her shoulders with ease, throwing it out of the alley and against a building! Marching over to the ghoul with a sadistic look in her eyes, Fuu brought a fist up and rammed it down on the ghoul's face, smashing it in. While it turned to dust, Fuu turned her attention back to the third ghoul, wondering if the lightning mage was handling it...but then she heard a shout!
"Eh?" From a distance, Fuu could see two more cultists who appeared to be in the middle of getting chased by two more of those ghouls! "Found some more!"

EARTH SHATTERING NOTES & SPELLS
WC - 848 TWC - 1,172
Item: Magic Knight Mantle
(Killed 2/12 of the Ghouls. Caught 1/5 of the cultists.)
This spell takes the form of a pair of earth armor fingerless gauntlets and armor like toeless boots that reach just below the user's knees. These pieces of earthen form a brownish aura around the user that not only boosts their physical strength, but the aura also acts as a defensive shield for the user to protect them from incoming attacks. Once every five posts, the user is also protected from the extra effects of damaging spells (courtesy of Tenacious Body).
[break][break] Kreig had just finished greeting himself and even added that the two should come up with a plan. His words carried little weight and just as before the young lady refused to listen to Kreig's babble. Instead of allowing the senior to devise a plan for the two she went on about the matter in her own way. Pretty sure the townspeople were also asked to stay indoors until this stuff blows over. Which means, I get to let loose...heh. Kreig would then just nod his head in disbelief and begin to explain. A deliberate scheme foremost and first one should take a glance. Afterword he began to scape out his place for the young lady but was interrupted by a figure that had taken her attention away. [break][break] There! The mantis mage yelled before darting out into the shadows. Oh my my my. Looks like this is going to be another doozy in the making. Kreig had hoped this time around that he and the young lady could get to learn of one another. It wasn't everyday that he was given the opportunity to venture with someone that he had met previously. Hmmm, you know what? It is quite odd that I do not even know of her name. Maybe if I can get her to calm just a tad bit could I be possible that I get it out of her? Though now was not the correct time to exactly be making friends, he couldn't pass on the fact that this could be the perfect opportunity. [break][break] Kreig watched the young lady as she would follow behind the figure. She was so anxious to get down and dirty that you can feel the presence coursing through her veins. Kreig himself would opt to take an alternate route. Instead of chasing down behind what currently an unknown the lightning mage decided to climb himself along top of a nearby building. From there the Azure Deer would take a knee and look over the entire landscape to properly make a plan. Astonishing. The mage thought to himself. In total I count twelve ghouls along side five members of the cult. His focus then would shift over to the Green Mantis mage as she had gotten into a bit of a spat with one of the cultist. [break][break] Form the looks of things the member of the cult group appeared to be a young lady about the same age as Kreig himself. It would appear that the woman was in a frantic state of mind. One would think that she apart of an evil and was up to no good. That wasn't the case this time it seems. Kreig could tell by the woman's body language that she meant no harm to the magic knights and was rather relieved upon seeing one in the town. However it would seem that luck wasn't in her favor. Maybe things would have been better if Kreig had stumbled upon her first. "A-Ahhhhhhh! Th-th-they're here! Possible the biggest mistake the woman could have made. Sure the scream would cast the attention away from her for the moment but the mantis mage wasn't one to let things go so lightly. Before turning her attention to what was three ghouls prepared to attack the knight punched the cultist in the face knocking her out cold. [break][break] I'll just keep the high ground while my comrade handle things down below. I'll take position as somewhat of a support this time around. From here I can be the eyes we need and besides I'm the one better equip for sensing others. The first step of Kreig plan was now underway. As he snapped out of his thoughts and refocused on what was going on it would seem like his teammate had the situation under control. Well at least until the time Kreig noticed an extra few cultist running about being followed by ghouls. They too were also frightened of the beast. It was then Kreig realized that maybe the group of cultist were just a bunch of knucklehead that bit off a bit more than they could chew. Dear god; what have they gotten themselves into? Kreig had no choice but to help sooner rather than later. [break][break] The lightning mage then rose to his feet and allowed his grimoire to float at his side. The book then swiftly flipped page after page with a bright golden hue. Something of such beauty should not have gone unnoticed but it seems the ghouls and cultist were both unaware. The first spell was unleashed. Lightning Storm V.2!!! Much like the god of thunder Kreig posed with a hand above his head with an open fist. From the skies a dark cloud would form above the them all. From and the crackling of a build up of electricity until two bolts were form simultaneously. Suddenly, like a flash they both darted out from the heavens at blazing speed targeting the two ghouls chasing the newcomers into the alley and striking them down. He'd then gloat but only to assure their was no need to fear. Fear not for I am ye savoir that harbors the competency of the gods? His eyes which were at the moment glowing a bright white would simmer down until they were back bluish in color. Mantis!!! Kreig said with a little authority. Scrape the grounds for all and one monstrosity you catch sight. From the upper atmosphere I'll keep sight and lend thy hand. With that the lightning mage relayed his plans to accomplish the mission effectively. [break] @morty [break]

Fuu was about to run down after the two ghouls she spotted along with those cultists, but then she realized...
"Wait a second..." She looked behind her, green eyes darting left and right. "Wha-The hell did that weirdo go?" she had just noticed that the lightning mage wasn't with her. She'd try shouting out for him, but then the young noble noticed that the one ghoul she let live was limping itself slowly her way. The dwarf didn't look at all worried with the creature because of how slow it was moving and simply crossed her arms, tilting her head slightly as the ghoul grunted. "Hmph, guess he decided to bail." Fuu claimed before annoyingly blowing a strand of hair from her face. She then ran at the beast, appearing as if she were going to run past it. Once she got close enough, the earth mage would extend her arm out to her side and have it collide with the ghoul's stomach with enough force to ram it to the ground, leaving it as nothing but dust.
"Heh..." Fuu was now wiping her palms together with a smirk, but then she focused back on the alley she had come out of. She couldn't have just let that cultist stay there unconscious even if she does intend on coming back...which she'd most likely forget about. What if she wakes up and runs off? There's also the possibility that another ghoul could get her. With an annoyed sigh, Fuu marched back into the alley and crouched down at the cultist, still out cold. Using her raw earth magic, Fuu placed the cultist's hands together and placed some half-ass earth cuffs on her. It's weak, but it should be enough to keep her hands bound. The earth mage then lifted her up by the back of her collar and started to drag the criminal out of the alley, intending on bringing her. "This is dumb."
As Fuu walked down a sidewalk, looking for more ghouls, her head perked up at the sound of those familiar, desperate screams. Once again, the dwarf had caught up with those two fleeing cultists and their ghoulish pursuers, who all were coming her way!
"Bout time!" The girl yelled out with a hint of eagerness. She dropped the cultist she was carrying and started to crack her knuckles. "Nghh..." The impact had caused the cultist to wake, her face a little scrunched up in pain before she finally opened her eyes, blurry at first but when they focused, the first thing she saw was the dwarf walking away, towards the others.
Fuu was ready to...rock, but before she could do anything, she heard a familiar voice, yelling out a spell. Stopping in her tracks, Fuu looked up to see clouds forming in the sky followed by two lightning bolts striking down those two ghouls as if they were a deity smiting them! But Fuu knew better...She looked up at one of the nearby buildings as did the other two cultists who were now trying to catch their breaths.
"Fear not for I am ye savoir that harbors the competency of the gods?"
The two cultists looked relieved, but Fuu on the other hand was not impressed. "Oi, I thought you died or some shit!" She yelled out before rolling her eyes. "Tch and they say I'm full of myself..." she muttered. The lightning mage was now barking orders at Fuu, causing the girl to place her hands on her hips with an eyebrow raised. "Yeah sure. You can stay up there all ya want, and be a baby. That just leaves more of those bastards for me!" she said, boldly cocking her hips before turning her head to face the two cultists. "By the way, you guys are under arrest." the dwarf added, almost casually. The cultists on the other hand...had decided to bolt off once again, this time from the law!
"Oh boy..." With a huff, Fuu looked down at the cultist she previously caught. The woman wasn't even trying to break free and looked like she was still trying to process everything. The woman's eyes met with Fuu's, quickly giving the dwarf a devious idea, and a smile to match....
Hey, are they chasing us!?" one of the running cultists yelled out to the second. "A-are you crazy!? I'm not looking back! You do it!" the second one claimed. With a sigh, the first runner turned his head back, and his eyes fully popped opened, a look of shock and regret on his face! Fuu in fact was chasing after them...but she had the female cultist held up over her head with both hands thanks to her reinforcement spell! Fuu still had that devious grin on her face while the cultist she was carrying had started to scream, all with a rather comically fearful look on her face! The second one worked up the courage to look behind him as well...and was instantly regretting it.
"EHHHHHHHH!?!?!"
They both yelled in unison...
Thankfully these guys were still a bit winded from running previously so it wasn't hard to catch up. Once she believed she was close enough, the rowdy earth mage threw her captive at the running cultists, knocking them both down on impact! The girl cultist was now laying on top of the two males, all three of them groaning in pain. Fuu then walked up to them and proudly placed her foot on the back of the woman. "You have the right to remain...grounded." She said it...and she was proud of it.
Three cultists down, two more to go...but there was still another matter that needed to be attended to.
More groans could be heard from the distance, ghoulish groans to be exact....
Looking forward, Fuu noticed that there were about.... seven of those creatures coming her way, alerted by all of the noise the dwarf was making. If what the cultist lady said earlier was true, then these are the remaining ones. Fuu looked a bit surprised at first, but then she started to snicker. "This makes things a whole lot easier then..."

[break][break] So far everything was going on as planned. Kreig stood atop above all the chaos going on below. He figured that by doing such that he could stay out of harms way yet be close enough to lend a helping hand if situation need be. So far as he was upon the rooftop he was able to take out multiple summoned creatures with virtually no interference. The looks on the cultist faces below gave a sigh of relief. It was if they'd rather be captured by the magic knights and face being punished by the kingdom than allow the summoned creature maim them. Either way it didn't matter much both punishments had come with just about the same cost. [break][break] The words that you speak of are what youngling? Kreig may have missed a bit of what she had muttered but from his experience of working with the mage, he had a hunch that the statement probably wasn't a good one. After all her attitude was quite malleable. She is young after all and it's quite possible that she was unmentored. This seemed to be a common trait shared within a mage of the Green Mantis. Nevertheless Kreig held no ill will toward the young lady. In fact he had grown a bit of a soft spot for her. He felt the she had taken a liking into as well, at least more so than any others that he had met. On your toes mantis! Don't remove ye eye from the apprehended! A quick warning the two of the cultist were trying to make an escape. [break][break] From that point he'd watch the young knight chase down and try render the cultist once more. He'd notice that maybe staying upon top of a build probably wasn't the most exciting way to handle the mission even though it could be effective. He was becoming bored that he's not had any physical confrontation yet so far. It seemed like the young lady that was accompany him was having all of the real fun. Is that was the lightning mage really wanted though? Though he was no stranger in hand to hand physical combat, it was always his role to be somewhat of a support for his team. The Azure Deer after all were the squad of information and espionage. [break][break] Screw it. The lightning mage had determined that he would take some initiative and move this fight onto the grounds along side his comrade. With that he remained along the rooftops hopping from building to building just enough to stay in the relevant to his teammate. He shadowed the young lady from above and couldn't help but notice how much she had grown since the last time they were aquatinted. It was like watching a caterpillar evolve into a butterfly. The young mantis was really coming into her own; at least on the combative level that is. She still needed to learn more about being an exceptional teammate and learning how to lead. Maybe a bit of work also should go into her toning down that attitude. You have the right to remain...grounded. She had finally stopped the cultist from escaping her grasp. It was nice that she had captured them but the real task was about to begin. [break][break] Suddenly a loud moan from within the distance could be heard drawing near. Kreig looked up to see that he could could out seven ghouls and neither of them gave off the impression that they were in a good mood. They were all headed in the direction of the earth mage and Kreig sensed nothing but malice within them. This feeling would alert the knight that maybe showing himself right away wasn't going to be the best of ideas. Instead he would warn his partner and take precaution. Ahoy!! Be heavy set in ye foot and stand firm! Ye be blessed with thy mana so fear not! Firm! Stand firm! Kreig then realized that it was maybe better for him to stay put and cast support for afar. The young lady was a much better combatant up close than himself. He should stick to his own strengths and cast a spell that would support them both in the mean time. He the went hiding back into the shadows. Lightning Creation: Lightning Vanishing v.2!!! With this spell at the very least I could give us both some cover as long as she doesn't go outside of it's range. That should be much of a problem since most of the surrounding are enclosed. This spell is kind of a double edged sword however. It will for sure support the young lady in combat up in return her mana will be drained more quickly. [break] @morty

Fuu used her earth element to make two more makeshift "cuffs" around the other two cultists before turning her attention back to the approaching ghouls. The earth mage did not look the least bit worried about them, and instead was grinning that devious grin of hers. The girl cracked her knuckles and started to walk up to them, only to stop as she heard the lightning mage's encouraging words from the rooftop.
They were so nice, so thoughtful, and caring....
But how did Fuu react? "Oi, can it with the sappy talk will ya!?" She yelled, now pointing up annoyingly at the blue-haired man. "Or I'll plant my foot FIRMLY up your behind!" The girl threatened....before suddenly getting smacked to the side by one of the ghouls!
Karma at its finest....
The girl fell to the ground, sliding a bit on the surface. If it wasn't for the defensive portion of her spell, the earth mage would've been feeling the pain, but all the attack did was just rattle her a bit. The girl slowly got up and took notice of the ghouls nearly surrounding her now. Another was just about to strike at the girl until she rolled out of the way, getting away from those zombies through a small opening. The heiress stood back on her bare feet and remained firm...as the lightning mage told her to do. The ghouls turned their attention to Fuu once more and were approaching her...until the lightning mage chanted another spell.
Lightning Creation: Lightning Vanishing v.2!!!
"Eh?" Fuu looked up momentarily at the guy again...or where he used to be. It was that invisible spell again. Fuu started to grit her teeth at the realization and exhaled annoyingly out of her nose. "Seriously, you're hiding again? Pfft, what a pansy." the girl claimed before placing her hands on her hips. But there was more to it...
Looking back at her opponents, Fuu noticed that they weren't chasing after her any more and were looking around. "Huh....?" She started to look at herself and started to wonder...if she's invisible too? She also felt her mana being siphoned a bit and looked back up at where she last saw the guy. "Sensory mages..." Fuu muttered to herself. She wasn't really fond of them due to her own weaknesses...but at least she wasn't on the opposing end of one this time. "Stone Hammer." Activating another spell of her own, Fuu summoned a hammer formed from her element and gripped it in her hand.
Not wasting any more time, Fuu took advantage of her invisibility to run at the ghouls and strike! The girl bashed the hammer through the stomach of one of the ghouls, penetrating through and rendering it as nothing but dust. She swung the hammer at another one's knees to bring it down so she could swing her reinforced fist at its face, having it meet the same fate as the ghoul before it! With the remaining ghouls not knowing what's going on, Fuu continued to swing her fist and hammer at the remaining five, undead limbs flying everywhere until they were gone...all turned to dust.
Breathing heavily, Fuu rested her hammer on her shoulder and looked around. There was nothing left but those three captured cultists. "Well that was all fine and dandy, but where the hell are those last two cult crappers at!?"
Little did she know that the final two cultists were hiding up on one of the nearby roofs, too afraid to even look down at the carnage.

Had some mana siphoned and turned invisible thanks to Krieg.
This spell takes the form of a pair of earth armor fingerless gauntlets and armor like toeless boots that reach just below the user's knees. These pieces of earthen form a brownish aura around the user that not only boosts their physical strength, but the aura also acts as a defensive shield for the user to protect them from incoming attacks. Once every five posts, the user is also protected from the extra effects of damaging spells (courtesy of Tenacious Body).
The user summons a two meters tall hammer formed of stone for attacking purposes. The user can either wield the construct in their hands or manipulate with their mana for ranged strikes. Once a target is hit by the hammer, the spell will leave behind particles of dust on the target that can temporarily blind the target (for one post) if hit in the face along with sapping away at their ability to regen mana as long as the user can keep it sustained. Additional hammers can be summoned following the ammo/control rules.
[break][break] So far everything seemed to be going well. Kreig was still holding on to the spell he had cast just a bit earlier. The lightning mages plan was working down to the tee. Kreig had made himself and the young earth mage lady both invisible to the enemies. By doing this it would allow Kreig to continuously make sneak attacks from above as the girl savagely defeat the ghouls below. I really hope that I get a good recommendation from one of the cultist for this. Kreig was really anticipating a promotion after said mission and the only way to get that done was to successfully complete it without negative remarks. [break][break] After a while the lightning decided to look over the edge and take a peak at what was happening below. The Green Mantis mage had seem to have everything under control. she thoroughly beat each ghoul one by one leaving only but two cultist left for completion. Upon the ground would you glimpse of the remaining wonder cultist? I have not the slightest sight of such, please excuse the plunder. Lend me a hand why don't cha. The earth mage had no clue Kreig was trying to get her attention. She was gasping for oxygen with a large hammer thrown across her shoulder. You know if you'd just make a spell that was more compact to fit your size and weight gasping for air wouldn't be a problem. A thought that he'd possible have to recommend to her later when the time right. [break][break] Luckily out of the peripheral Kreig just narrowly caught sight of the final two cultist. They much like the others too were trying to hide from the very ghouls they summoned. You would think for one to summon to beast would a plan in case things didn't go their way. How foolish is it to not have a contingency. The cultist had not notice Kreig but that possibly from the fact that he had his spell cast making himself invisible. The knight felt that it was possibly best for him to stay invisible in order to sneak up on the two and capture while their guard was down. They were only one building over and the leap seems reasonable enough for a knight to Kreig's caliber to easily jump across. [break][break] After a running start the lighting mage leaped across the ledge and performed a tuck and roll landing. Luckily his spell didn't only cancel the ability to see but also any sound that the knight would make. Both of the cultist were clearly afraid. They were tightly wound up upon one another shivering and one was whispering to the other. I don't want to this anymore. Make it stop. Please make it stop. The sight of seeing them in fear gave the lighting mage a slight chuckle. Not that he was getting off by the cowering to one another but the clear stupidity to take part in such action. Seems like decent people, but anyways wrong it wrong and these two shall be punished. With that in mind the mage instantly released his spell. [break][break] Pardon me madam. Fear not of the ghoul but the kingdoms might hand. The apprehended as of now you are part. Lack of the motion now I do plead. Trouble free why don't we make. He would then release his grimoire and let it levitate waist high. Fair game to those whom shan't be attentive. The lightning mage then gave off a slight smirk and peaked over his should to his comrade. You there below! By the blessed powers within me, success be thy name. Once more the gods be with thy whom is loved so dearly. If not a matter a conclusion we shall come, be on with this and by our way. He finished off with giving the young lady a head nod in respect. After she rounds things up the mission will be complete. [break] @morty [break]

Deactivating both her spells, Fuu started to stretch a bit before turning her attention to the three captured cultists. "Alright, morons. Hope you all learned your lessons...or whatever. Now..." The dwarf marched up to one of them and grabbed the terrified cultist by the shirt. "Where are the last two hiding!?" the earth mage yelled in a demanding tone. Quickly growing impatient, Fuu was just about to punch the living daylights out of this cultist...until she heard the lightning mage's voice.
"Eh?" Looking up, Fuu would see that Krieg was successful in catching and detaining the last two irritating cultists, truly putting an end to this job. "Oh." The girl said before dropping one of the cultists, making them groan a bit. "Good job, bolt brains." She said as she crossed her arms and looked over at the three cultists down with her once again. "Now I can finally get the hell outta here! This town sucks..." The dwarf claimed, mumbling the last part.
Assuming that the lightning mage will carry those two cultists with him, Fuu grabbed two of the cultists with here with one hand, and the third one with her other by the collar of their shirts and just started to drag them. "Gonna take you all to a nice warm jail cell." The noble claimed, snickering deviously. "Ow, hey! Are you really planning on dragging us all the way? Ouch!" One of the cultists complained while the other two continued to grunt in pain. "Ehhh tempting...but a carriage should be waiting for us at the entrance...." Fuu said, making the cultists mutter little sounds of relief. "...with a nice trunk to throw all your asses in!" The girl started to laugh as the relieved looks on those cultists' faces faltered. Of course, Fuu was only...partially joking. It was honestly surprising that someone like Fuu would think ahead like this....Perhaps she's growing up after all.
"Oh." Fuu stopped to look over at Krieg. "I guess you can come along too. Should be enough room on the carriage...Plus we need to get them all to the same jail anyway."
With that, whether the lightning mage decides to tag along or not, Fuu would head on to the carriage while dragging those cultists and soon head off from town so that she could turn these idiots in and report the job back at her base. The dwarf did not get to let loose as much as she wanted...but punching down zombies and scaring the shit out of some cultists was still fun.
