"Sounds like foilin' the plan is our next stop... I hope yer lungs are as durable as yer blade Javal." Said the young centaur, who took her bearings and pointed her gleaming spear down the path indicated by the letter. As she was about to go charging down the path, the orb in her hand crackled and glowed briefly.
"Report....Over."
She stared at Javal for a moment, unsure of how to respond. Apparently the voice on the other end wasn't very keen on it either.
"Damn it, Geoffrey, enough of your 'witty' nonsense... report the status of your position or you're facing reprimand.... OVER!" demanded the entity's voice, but there was no one to answer.
Voices could be heard arguing and shouting for a few minutes as if someone had left the orb on, not thinking someone was on the other end.
"That's three teams down... three well paid layers of handling a situation that shouldn't be happening... you're all incompetent!"
"Blithering fools... we should not be dealing with such a minor issue."
"You will face judgement for your failures, and the failures of those you chose as subordinates."
"Y-yes, sir."
There is some muttered cursing before the orb goes cool and quiet once more. She smiled a bit and shook her head.
"They know we're on the way, let's enjoy the party!" She whooped into the night and took off down the path towards those responsible.

Javal tucked the mysterious letter into his coat’s pocket to read later at a later date as well as look at the author’s penmanship, whoever wrote this letter sure had some nice handwriting and Javal was ready to improve his penmanship. He then began stretching his body getting ready to sprint into the forest once more he was begging to get tired and weary from all the running they’d been doing.
“This is some good training to get done at least”, he yells to Nami as he does a couple of small jumps before he is about to sprint towards the path intending to follow Nami.
He almost tripped and fell over in the sand as he suddenly stopped to hear the voice that came from, he then shifted his gaze to the orb in her hands. Javal’s face shifted into one of confusion as he threw his hands up in surprise not knowing what to say.
The fellblood nods his head as he finishes hearing Nami’s response and says, “Well these fiendish fellows seem charming, let's not keep waiting my friend” and jogs after Nami ready for whatever earth-shaking event happens next for the two.

Nami refreshed her defensive spell, charging her body with a fresh coat of arcing electricity1 as they ran. This would be the apex of their hunt, the bosses awaited them in the next clearing. While she loved a good wide open charge, spear at the ready... this was not the situation for charging in recklessly. It was time to finally try her mentor's spell she reckoned.
As the pair were jogging through the woods, A group of strange floating runes2 surrounded the centaur. Each one chained itself to the other with a bolt of electricity as they danced about, hovering in the air around her. She wanted to shout and cheer that she'd managed to cast the spell properly for the first time, but the task at hand demanded full attention. She came to a stop, holding a hand up to signal Javal to stop.
They'd reached another path, forking off to the left or right... If Nami recalled the layout of the crude map they saw earlier, right was back around to the first camp they'd come across, and left was their destination. She carefully tried to survey the area, despite the bright buzzing spell encircling her. It was difficult to see what was going on, as there were large crates stacked in a pile obstructing the view, but she caught a glimpse of one man walking by... a lumbering brute of an orc with a wicked blade and thick spiked plate armor.
"Ye ready? This one's gonna be a tussle but my little ring of lights here should help our odds." She said, beaming with excitement for the coming battle.

Javal continued running a couple of feet behind Nami as the two ran quickly, the fellblood was beginning to lose steam. The running and fighting itself was one of the most stamina-based training he had done ever.
He looked over as Nami was surrounded by some strange runes that floated around her, his eyes grew wide and he said, “Nami what is that spell I’ve never seen before in my time as an adventurer. You have to teach that to me someday”.
He continued to sprint trying to be as quiet as he could as he did only coming to a screeching halt as Nami placed her hand in the air. In his rush, he almost tripped and fell as he slammed his sandals into the floor before straightening himself out.
Javal whispered to his centaur companion, “Now where did that map say to go”, he waited before sneakily walking behind Nami crouching as he walked, placing his hands over his eyes to see better.
He spots two really strange sights as he looks around the area with his eyes, some sort of human fellow with a giant rock arm and a robbed fellow with furry glowing hands.
He then shouts, “Of course my friend, let’s go”, and he charges through the brush and into the battlefield.
He stands before five figures armed with weapons and a large rock shrine where a robbed figure stands on a rock throne twiddling his thumbs.
He hears a large booming voice come from the robbed figure on the throne, “Looks like we have pests in our midsts, high priests crush these interlopers now”.

"A gift from me mentor, an adventurer from afar who went by the nickname 'Socket'. These little sparky guys pack a wallop.." She replied before checking over the area once more. A group of five figures stood in the clearing, each wielding different weapons.
"Looks like we have pests in our midst, High Priests crush these interlopers now." said a hooded figure sitting in the center upon a throne of carved stone. In response, Nami waved her hand forward and commanded the Runes floating about her into action. Each one raced ahead, trailing bright arcs of lightning between the others. Looking like the most bizarre net one might ever encounter, the individual runes attached themselves to one of the warriors.
Each tried to dodge, escape, defend themselves, but the Runes were a relentless spell that rode out their efforts. Lightning danced across the battlefield, sparking off even the smallest bits of metal and electrifying the field. With a wild cry, Nami charged from the brush. Spear in hand, the lass picked a target and ran them down. This was another robed combatant, with claws like some sort of beast tufting out of their sleeves. He shouted and wailed, swatting at the offending net of electricity instead of watching the battle. A moment later, a gleaming spear drove their body into the ground and was torn out by it's wielder's momentum. Now shocked from within as well, the warrior flailed and spasmed on the ground as Nami galloped by. Making a wide circle to the flank, she prepared herself for any response.

Javal shouted, “Here I come evildoers", and sprinted towards the nearest opponent in his sight, which so happened to be the human-looking man with the giant rock arm.
As the fellow saw Javal headed right towards him he smashed his arm towards the floor causing a large earthquake to rattle around them.
Suddenly as the man’s fist stayed in the ground the rest of his body was covered by hard reinforced rock similar to his rock arm at the start. The monster laughed maniacally as it towered over the fellblood in front of him. The man now looking like a huge golem rock monster roared out and slammed his hands where Javal stood.
The fellblood barely had enough time to jump back to avoid it he then opened his mouth wide and sent out a cone of ice towards it before running at it as fast as he could raising his katana over his head as he neared it and whispering, “Javal Style: Descending Slash” and performed a downwards slash at the monster’s chest to its abdomen.
Over with Nami, the furry fellow writhes in pain and ripped off its red robes to reveal a wretched figure, a wererat who let out a loud clicking sound. It coughs blood and holds its hand over the area where Nami injured him; he suddenly makes more loud clicking noises as a swarm of rats surround him and support him. He points at Nami and the horde of rats charging at the centaur intent on entombing her with their small physical size but greater numbers.

With a wild grin, Nami charged at the horde of rats. As the rodents collided with the field of electricity1 surrounding the centaur, they were flung aside by the arcs of lightning that scorched their tiny bodies. The wererat's wild clicking turned desperate as fear washed over his scraggly face. Nami galloped right past the creature, who sagged heavily with relief for a brief second before the Runes2 activated again, pulsing their web of electricity over the battlefield. He twitched for a second as the current overloaded his nerves, then slumped, which detached the rune.
With a sweep of her hand, she commanded the magical effect leap3 to the man sitting on throne as she slid to a halt. A heavy thud slammed into a tree just a few feet away, where a crossbolt bolt struck. Nami would have been about there if she hadn't stopped, and luckily she had. The tree bubbled and oozed a gross, foul smelling liquid as a caustic substance ate away at it. The centaur suddenly looked furious as she spotted the shooter, an Elven woman reloading a heavy crossbow with another bolt that dripped with dark liquid. It had stained much of the weapon's track from constant use.
Nami dashed into the trees, not giving the lass a clear shot as she fired again. This bolt sailed past, slamming into a tree several yards away and making a foul hissing sound as it unleashed it's toxic payload. The centaur rounded a tree, took aim and uttered an arcane word while pointing at the woman. A bolt of electricity4 zoomed across the clearing and slammed into the weapon, zapping it's wielder. The elf staggered, then dropped to a knee, her arms twitching as she fumbled to grip another bolt.

The golem fellow stumbles back as a large chunk of his rock armor breaks off of him as Javal lands on the floor after landing his attack.
He tries to go for another slam of his rock fists but mid-way of moving his fast downward he’s suddenly hit by a large pulse of electricity across his body.
Parts of his rock armor start crumbling and fall from his body and onto the floor around Javal and him. He scowls at the fellblood and shouts, “You think you’re something huh hero? You think you’re some sort of shining knight, well let me show you why our Bishop chose me for the job”, he then shifts the remaining handful of rocks on his body onto a single structure on his right hand and soon it solidifies and forms into a large stone spear.
“Ha take this'', the fellow yells as he thrusts the weapon at Javal, determined to get rid of the adventurer before he causes any more trouble. Javal simply ducks down slides under the long spear and sends a large kick at the man’s right foot causing him to stumble forth and meet Javal’s fist getting quickly knocked back and onto his back.
He looks to the fellow on the throne with pleading eyes as the figure turns his hand at him and the rocks around him quickly all surround the man and entomb him in them.
Javal’s eyes widen at the realization of the figure’s betrayal of his commander and shouts loudly, “You damned evil coward you are so wicked as to even kill one of your own”.
Suddenly he’s met with a quick metal fist to his back as he whips around to find himself facing off some strange automaton creature.

Not one for wasting a moment, Nami hurled her spear with tremendous force at the staggered marksmen. It's gleaming form gave way to another bolt of lightning before punching cleanly through the elf and ending their struggles. A moment later, it returned to her grip as she looked about the battlefield to see only two remaining combatants. Javal was engaged with some sort of mechanical man, and the Bishop seemed less than enthusiastic at the outcome of battles thus far. She heard Javal say something about betrayal...
That's when she noticed the man with the stone armor had been entombed by what had seemed like their own ability. What a terrible way to go, not just getting betrayed by your own leader, but with your own weapon no less. A surge of electricity traveled across the centaur's form as the gravity of the situation processed. Outraged by such a pathetic act, her body crackled and sparked with electricity as she activated the runes once more, commanding them all to attach to the Bishop and scour his very soul from this world.
Hovering in the air around the Bishop, the five magical sigils popped and fizzled with static buzzing before unleashing a web of powerful arcs. A brilliant white-blue light filled the shadowy clearing as each rune discharged immense currents of electricity. Surprised by the sudden appearance of strange magic, the Bishop was slow to react. Enthralled by the fight with the automaton and Javal, they tried to guard against the blast at the last instant, but received several powerful shocks. Avoiding only the truly fatal beams, his body spasmed as he tried to regain composure and face the centaur.

Javal quickly gets pushed a little way in front of where he stood and knocked to his knees before quickly spinning his body and jumping back to his feet. He looked straight to where he felt the fists hit him expecting to see some sort of fellow in large armor only to be surprised to see a large looming metal golem with a red-looking device at its center.
Javal barely had enough time to once more side-step another giant punch to the spot where he stood.
He shook his head in amazement and confusion, “What even are you, I’ve never seen anything like you before fellow”.
The gleaming figure didn’t even respond, raising both of its metal arms in the air before slamming where he stood, Javal quickly sprinted forth narrowly avoiding the blow. Javal quickly neared the metal monster’s legs and sent out a slash against it, spinning around and cutting the monster’s legs and whispering, “Javal Style: Spinning Blade”. It had used the being’s haste and impatience to his advantage.
The being’s legs quickly slid off and tried to get back up but couldn’t quickly the red device in it’s center started to flash bright red before a small greasy green figure popped out and shot up into the air before scurrying into a bush.
Over with the bishop on his throne, he is barely able to shake off the paralyzing feeling that the attack left him with, “How dare these rats try to stop his ascension, he’d have to quickly get this battle over with”, he thought before waving his arm, “Svenrik quickly destroy that centaur woman and then crush that foolish imp”.
Suddenly from in front of his throne a strong-looking fellow in all-black armor moves from his observing position and rushes forward slamming his large ax where she stood.

Watching the ironclad warrior charge, Nami fired a lightning bolt across the meadow. As it zipped past the warrior, the centaur vanished from the spot she'd been standing. A heavy axe smashed into the ground where she'd been a moment before as she appeared where the lightning bolt had been aimed. With a sly smile, she gave her gilded spear a twirl before taking a hopping step and hurling it with tremendous force. Golden metal gave way to white blue lightning, striking the warrior's heavy plate and sending powerful shocks coursing across and through the man.
A moment later the spear appeared in her hand again, ready for another strike as the final burst from her Rune spell fired. A net of powerful electric shocks scorched the throned figure again before the spell faded away. Too bad there hadn't been more time... but whoever this figure was, they were fairly tough to have sustained so many strikes... oh well, deal with that after. She turned her attention back to the warrior, who was working his weapon free from a root it'd been cleaved into. Wrenching it free with a great deal of exertion, he turned and lumbered towards the centaur again. His movements were jittery, and he seemed to be having trouble holding his weapon's heft.

The figure shakes his head in shock as he steps away from the large hole his axe strike left confused as to where that centaur had gone. He glanced around until he saw a bright light in front of him, not even having enough time to react to the lightning strike on his armor.
He shakes and convolves on the floor before stabbing his ax into the ground and pushing himself back to his feet standing up with conviction.
“I won’t let weaklings get in the way of our bishop’s ascension, he has a vision of this world that must come true no matter the cost”.
He struggles to carry his ax as his body is still feeling the effects of Nami’s attacks, “No matter what I can’t just let you trample on our dreams of a better world”, he then swings his ax at Nami once more aiming right for the side of her head intending to end her quickly.
Javal watches this for a second before focusing on helping the battle at hand he quickly opens his mouth and sends out a large cone of ice towards the knight hoping to help Nami out with his distraction. He then throws his blade at the man sitting on the throne only for him to catch it and throw it back at Javal who dodges out of the way and picks up his blade once more.

With a sly grin, Nami utters an arcane word, catching the warrior in a field of powerful sparks as she activates Lightning Armor. His axe stops just inches from it's target, as if caught in a strong magnet. A moment later more powerful shocks turn every metal surface on the man's body into an electrified source of heat and stinging pain. The centaur held little remorse for someone who would do such harm, but she could see that this proud man had his ideals twisted and manipulated. With a heavy heart, she thrust her spear into a gap under his helm and ended his suffering.
"Yer a right bastard, and I can't wait to give me spear to yer heart... or yer face... whichever one happens first." The centaur said as she flicked the gore from her weapon and leveled it at the robed man. She was seething, each fact she learned about this group adding to a growing need to unleash the fury of a thousand storms upon those responsible. Grateful to Javal for his icy distraction a moment ago, she quickly moved to a better position to both watch the robed man and help him with his own battle if need be.

Javal looked on as Nami quickly and efficiently took down and killed the knight with her ferocious lightning power.
He turned his body to face the figure on the throne and shouted cupping his hands over his lips to increase his volume, “Hey evil fiend it’s over your grunts and goons are gone. You are the only one who’s left here to bring to justice”.
The robed figure laughs maniacally as he raises his hand “You think it’s over? Why this has only just begun”, and points towards his armored knight’s corpse, “Rise, Belzel”, the armored figure that Nami had just defeated surrounded by large red light and fire before suddenly being engulfed in darkness. The figure takes off its helmet to reveal a demon’s face with a twisted maniacal grin.
He waves his hand causing the nearby flora to wilt away before chuckling, “Thank you, my lord, for blessing me with this human tribute, I’ll take out these pesky rats dutifily as right-hand and demon”.
He then raised his fingers at Shitakibo and Javal summoned a large firebolt to crash down on them before sprinting forward attempting to hit them with his now blood-red ax.

Seeing the robed man sacrifice someone so loyal so easily only infuriated the young girl further. Noting the demon's attacks, she fired off a lightning bolt in the direction of the throne and it's occupant. One thing she was keenly aware of thanks to her training was the hard link between a summoner and it's summons... even if it served only to weaken the corrupted warrior, it would make a huge difference if it weren't feeding on the mage's mana. Just as the bolt was about to strike, she teleported from the place she'd been standing.
With her spear already raised, she charged the robed man and slammed the gleaming shaft into the point where his neck met his torso. With all the strength she could muster, she drove his body into the ground as she kept pushing forward, impaling the man deep into the ground with her weapon. Without waiting to see how Javal was responding to this new threat, her eyes lit up with powerful energies before she gripped her spear and channeled another Lightning Bolt through it. Half buried in muck, the robed man's body danced and flopped like a fish plucked from the lake before Nami wrenched her spear free from his smoldering form. She'd had enough some time ago, and now a brutally efficient path seemed to clear away all the frustration and indecision. She backed away from the robed man, giving herself space from the others to deal with what came next.
