I knew your power was gun--

Um okay one second. . .

[obviously it's gun]

Just be quick.

[NICE OKAY

with Aides and Perci's lights, and Chronos' . . .fire. . .wow that sure is a nice suspicious bunch of light! Blossom herds the lights together in a nice diversion, and then is then immediately yanking at the leashes like LETS GO LETS GO LET GO

Cuz as they do advance, a black, shadowy mass seems to roll out of no where, crushing dead logs and bushes, trying to pinpoint their presence. It's not the wolf king, but the mass has several heads--most wolves, some sheep, some other animals, some. Humanoid? Hm.

But it throws itself on the gathering of lights, snapping at nothing, and howling at the fire, and being generally confused. At least a couple wolves do break off from it though, spotting them.

And those are rapidly approaching.]

( ... hm!

perci takes a few quick jumps forward, near meeting with the wolves -

and in a burst of lily petals, he disappears! he reappears in another burst of flower petals, intent on leading them farther and father away from the group. he still has the handle gripped, but he is making sure they're going away rather than towards them anyhow. )

[FIREBALL???? CAN HE CAST FIREBALL??????]

We really don't have time for this, so let's make it quick.

[he does have his gun, but honestly he is just going to plant himself between the wolves and the rest of the group as a first line of defense in case any of them get close! if any of them do he is simply going to punch a wolf in the face since he knows that works.]

[ when the wolves follow perci he is going to freeze the ground slick under their lil paws so they go slippy slide ]

[ ACTIVATES ARM BLADES!!!

you would think this means he lets go of the baby leash, but Scarab just generates a tether to wrap around the handle for him

but suddenly there are adults in his way and he is regretting being tethered like this ]

[he does have his gun in hand and said gun has a silencer, but he's mostly waiting to see if people are in actual trouble before pulling the trigger. WE GOT A LOT OF FIGHTER TYPES IN THIS GROUP?]

[ His gun is out, but he's not firing unless or until a wolf actually gets too close to anyone. ]

[ALL YALL SO READY TO MURDER.

The shadow wolves are instantly distracted by the smell of the lilies, snapping at Perci and following his trail, only to go slippin' cartoonishly when Aides creates the sheet of ice under them. woowoowoowoo there they go

Though, in the brief instance Perci has to let go of the leash before returning, something happens. First, Perci, while brief, experience EXACTLY why he should never let go of his tether. He's close enough to poof back to the group and rejoin, but as soon as he does--]

I see prey. Is it you?

[where did this massive floating shadowy skeleton like wolf come from. Well, it's over head now. It raises a massive paw. . .

and strikes the ground.

There's a rumbling of earth as they seem to be suddenly falling downward. Like down a hill or a cliff, it's hard to tell. On the plus side, the lilies are still sprouting! Hooray, you're falling to uncertain doom in the right direction!

On the other hand there's a giant skeletal wolf flying down after you, maybe do something about that before you hit the ground.]

[TIME NO JUTSU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He divine pulses the earth so it's back to normal and they're no longer falling into the earth. Does the skele-wolf get no-clipped.]

[I

WELL, THE EARTH BEGINS TO REFORM ITSELF, WHILE ALSO CONVENIENTLY BRINGING THEM TO SAFETY AND STEADIER GROUND

THE SKELETAL WOLF HOWEVER, WAS DIVING DOWN SO,

THERE'S NOW HALF A WOLF STICKING OUT??? OF THE EARTH?? it does not seem to know what to do in this situation and kicks its massive feet.

Good. good job.

. . .

Okay that happened we are LEAVING THE WOLVES ALONE NOW GOODBYE

[BACK DOWN THE HILL THE LILIES WERE SPROUTING?? I GUESS

tugging at everyone's leashes MOVE BEFORE THE OTHER WOLVES ARE LIKE ??? WHY IS HALF OF A WOLF IN THE GROUND]

[ YEP LET'S GO LET'S GO ]

( ........... alright he's just gonna stick to healing from now on

hurrying after her. )

[ HEY

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT

LILY WHAT ABILITIES ARE YOU HIDING IN THIS FLOCK???? ]

[ YEAH THIS SEEMS LIKE A GREAT TIME TO LEAVE

taking up the rear again!! ]

[YEP OKAY WE'RE GOING that was a great way to save on time good job team]

[damn. SMACKING CHRONOS ON THE BACK AS HE GOES. GJ.]

[ uwu hehe]

[SO THAT HAPPENED

ANYWAY

They continue on for a while, at least an hour or more, trying to be as stealthy as possible, when finally. FINALLY. The lilies stop sprouting.

The mist is strangely thinner in this area. It looks to be something like a garden, full of rosebushes, and overgrown vines and foliage. It might be quite beautiful if it wasn't, y'know. All ashen and grey and dead.

Well, not all of it is completely dead. In the center of the garden is a defunct fountain, overrun with brittle vines, and dead leaves decorating its dry basins. Most interesting is what sits atop the fountain though. A brilliant, sparkling, golden statue. . .of Charon.]

Lovely, isn't it?

[a voice rings out. Some sort of demon sits a bit away on her patio, sipping at some tea.

What's up.]

[ girl demon ]

[ VIBRATES OUT OF HIS SKIN SO FAST NO ONE CAN SEE IT ]

. . . I dunno, your taste seems a little off.

[not the demon they expected, but it is a demon. activates his Teacher skill for Lily + Minuet so everyone can now SENSE EACH OTHER'S MOVEMENTS AND INTENTIONS so there is no alarm if someone suddenly decides to do a thing]

Excuse me, ma'am, but you have something that belongs to us.
