As Shaa waits for the reply, the hooded figure loads another bolt into a well crafted cross bow. The figure appears to be a young human male, maybe in his early twenties. He is clean shaven with steely eyes and a deep scar on his pointed chin. He starts to move towards the camp but continues to face the large Minotaur.
I don’t owe you anything beast man. The hooded figure sneers. You thought you were going to be clever and catch us unawares. You have no idea who you are messing with. If I were you, I would just turn around and go back to town. Pretend like this never even happened. Shaa spits some loose arrow bits on the ground. Boy, I have pastries older than you. If you think for one minute you are intimidating me, you are mistaken. The figure clapped back. I may be young but I’m the one with the cross bow. So unless you want to look like you fell into a prickly plant, I suggest you back off. At this range, I could close my eyes and hit you. Shaa had been shot with a cross bow before, more than once actually. He was not looking repeat that.
Well, your ammo isn’t infinite young one. You might get off one, maybe two shots max before I can get to you. Then, there is also my buddy over there. Shaa points his thumb in Gilders direction. You might not get anything off at all. The cloaked man looks a bit more nervous. Now put that thing down before I make you eat it. The man pulls something out of his pocket and tosses it on the ground. Suddenly plumes of black smoke appear covering the field. This isn’t going to help you! Shaa calls out.
From the smoke, two skeleton warriors emerge, one holding a saber and the other holding a large pike. The hooded man is nowhere to be seen. The warrior with the saber rushes at Shaa, saber held high in the air. Friggen undead. He grumbles under his breath. When the warrior swings the sword down, he grabs the blade and uses his other hand to punch the skeleton’s head off his shoulders. He shifts his weight into the headless fighter, knocking him to the ground. As he turns, the second fighter arcs the pike, trying to lodge the side into his head. Using his horns, he deflects the blow and recenters to the pikeman.

Javal nods in agreement that Shaa shouldn't traveling alone, a bit angered by his impatience to stop and care about Shaa like any honorable man should have suggested as Leandros did. He was glad that they had Gilder to follow the minotaur fellow to cover the man if he needed it although just by looking at Shaa he could tell the man was strong and most likely could hold his own. Javal quickly runs behind Leandros and his steed as fast as he can to try to keep up, and thanks to his effort he can trail behind the knightly man.
He glances at the area ahead where the vorrapedes slink and rampage underneath the ground moving in almost rhythmic movements. He stops as the verdades screech the ground shaking with their wild charges he quickly grabs his sheathed blade from his waist with his right hand and slashes forward as he takes it out.
One Vorrapede quickly tackles him to the ground and receives a small cut thanks to Javal’s opening slash while the other tries to tackle Leandros.Javal quickly opens his mouth sending out a cone of frost breath (1. Ice Drake Gland)into the beast’s head as it goes to chomp off the fellblood’s head.
The vorrapedde quickly jerks its body back in shock giving the fellblood enough time to slip out of its grasp and roll towards its right side.
He then taps his red-colored cuirass and feels a hot sensation coming from his chest to his throat and opens his mouth again this time spewing a cone of fire breath (2. Red Dragon Plate) at the vorrapede’s face.

Byrr and Leandros handle the rumbling terrain[1] easily enough as he pulls the reins to the left to dodge the vorrapede. The second bug dives over its companion to try and flatten Leandros while the other fights Javal. The knight manages to get his shield up in time, tossing the beast back[2] and allowing him a moment to clear out from underneath it.
Leandros circles back holding his halberd out towards it, "Come and face me yourself bug, one on one if you have any honor!"[3]
The vorrapede seems more than willing to take the challenge as it makes for the knight. Leandros similarly charges, dodging past its lunge to cut into its side. The thick plates of the vorrapede cause the halberd to just glance off, a gouge left behind in its armor but no damage to the creature beneath.
In the forest with Shaa, Gilder fires an arrow straight for the pikeman. The arrow whistles with holy fire as it pierces the skull. The head of the skeleton disintegrates[4] as the rest of the bones clatter to the floor. A second arrow is fired at the skull of the second skeleton to prevent it from reanimating.
"You can focus on the creep, I'll clean up the scraps." Gilder could quickly see the similarities betwenn the Bull and the Lion. It made adjusting to the fight much easier, like with his lord he can provide support for the big bruiser.

Shaa smiles and salutes to his archer from the skies. Not wanting to waste any more time, he bolts through the cloud of smoke, in pursuit of the mysterious assailant. The smoke is thick but the determined Minotaur’s other senses are keen. He manages avoiding running into trees and other objects and eventually finds himself on the other side of the miasma. There are no more skeletons in sight but neither is the elusive archer. Where in the heck did he go?
Shaa could feel the time roll by like weighted sandbags on his mind. The other group was counting on him flanking whatever it was back at camp. The longer that he took messing with this guy, the more likely the other group would be in trouble. But what was the connection between the archer and the Vorrapedes? Was he just another hunter after the bounty? Or was it something more sinister?
From the side, Shaa hears a whizzing sound and then a second close behind it. He is fast enough to dodge the first bolt but the second one slams directly into his shoulder. He is pretty sure that it has hit bone. Ughhh you grubby Gnoll licker…. Imma gonna hit you so hard, your mom is gonna feel it. Another wizzing sound is heard but Shaa is ready for it, moving quickly behind a nearby tree. He starts to calm down and breathe deeply as he can feel the blood running in a small stream down his muscular arm. That third one came from a different direction….he’s moving. He thought to himself coolly. If I stay here, it will only be a matter of time before he gets an angle on me. Well, no reason to make it easy for him.
Shaa focuses on the earth around him a a giant patch of thorns spring up from the ground, spreading out all around him. Quickly and quietly the vines and thorns spread out in a giant patch surrounding the fighter. Owtch! Was that you bull man? Using nature against me? That’s not very friendly. You will have to forgive me. This projectile jutting out of shoulder seems to have robbed me of my sense of propriety. Well they are incredibly inconvenient but nothing I can’t deal with. I’ll be there to finish you shortly. I’ll throw myself off a cliff before I let a pup like you do me. I didn’t get to be all old and everything without a few moves in the bag. Oh I’m sure, I’m sure. But you aren’t the only one with a trick up his sleeve. Suddenly, Shaa can smell smoke. Not the same kind of smoke from earlier. This time, something was burning.
Shaa couldn’t barely contain his laughter. Seriously? You are going to try to burn me out? Me?? Buddy , you really REALLY do not understand who you are messing with. To your point, I’m not currently not the pin cushion who’s bleeding out in the forest so I think you do not know who you are messing with. Guess we’ll find out. Guess so. Shaa starts the count. 5 He reaches down and grabs some of the burning vines. 4 Focusing on the heat, he pulls the heat within his own body, adding stacks of conflagration. 3 To the side, he can hear the crunch of the dead vines under the archers footsteps. 2 The archers cross bow cocks and is ready to fire. He can hear him behind the tree. 1
Shaa slams his good hand into the tree. As he does, the entire tree bursts into flames. Not quite done, he summons a tornado with the burning tree at its center. The archer panics and tries to run away but gets sucked into the flaming tornado and gets pinned against the burning tree. Soon his clothes, crossbow and everything else burst into flames. The blood loss gets to Shaa and he has to cut off the spells early as he throws up on the ground. The cost of so many spells in succession has taken a toll on his body. Ugh that sucked. He crawls around the side of the ashen tree. The remains of the archer are still smoldering in an dark crispy pile as the Minotaur finally collapses to the smoky forest floor. Guess I was right.

The vorrapede that Javal was currently locked in combat with manages to turn its body to avoid getting hit by the fellblood’s fire breath but it still shrieks in pain as it feels its back get burnt.
“Have it thee evil beast”, the man says as he picks himself back up, katana in hand facing down the towering insect as it looms over him furiously circling him.
The creature bashes its head straight into the fellblood as hard as it can in fury hoping to just crush him straight up. Javal hurriedly tapped his feet together and closed his eyes, placing the image into his mind of becoming the ocean. How one flows and ebbs through the waves, all part of a greater sea, as he does so his body melts into water (1)and falls to the floor under him causing the vorrapede’s headbutt to phase through him before he wraps his liquid snake form around the beasts head and slithers along its back before reforming back to his normal fellblood form as the beasts raise their head from the ground even more enraged now that pest was on its body. It thrashes around trying to shake off the small worm on it's body but Javal holds on as tight as he can onto it's scale trying not to fall.

Gilder does what he can to keep the ever rising number of skeleton wards at bay. They are weak and the magic holding them together frail, most likely a tactic to keep him busy while the hooded man took on Shaa directly. Though from what he's seen and heard of the minotaur, the hooded man might be better off just taking a quick arrow to the heart.
The fire was certainly not something Gilder was thrilled to see. Thankfully fall hasn't fully settled in so there isn't too much fuel for the fire, but still. He follows the sounds of flames and fists until he can find the main part of the battle already over. Without a word, Gilder offers over a minor healing potion from Apogee to the minotaur.
"I can still hear them fighting. Take a moment to recover before we rejoin them." Gilder starts to collect what arrows he can.
Back at the vorrapedes, Leandros has laid several large gouges into the beast's side, but none reach deep enough to slow it down. He is going to have to switch up his tactics if he wanted the upperhand. He turned Byrr oncce more for another charge.
As they gallop forward, before they meet the knight uses his halberd to vault into the air[1] and land atop the vorrapede as Byrr peels off to the side, rocks bouncing off his horse armor.
"LET'S FINISH OUR FIGHT JAVAL WE CAN'T LET SHAA THINK WE ARE TAKING IT EASY." He calls over the raucous thrashing of the vorrapede.[2]
Counter to his own advice, Leandros aims to pierce through the chitinous hide. There are gaps in the armor if you hit hard enough and he wants to do just that. Leandros pulls his halberd back and drives down with all of his incredible might to puncture the exoskeleton.[3] As it thrashes and tries to toss him off, the blade gives off a glow before firing holy energy through the vorrapede[4] slowly burning a hole through it as it grows angrier, but slower.

Shaa takes the minor healing potion with his good arm, opens the top with his teeth and roughly spits the cork out onto the forest floor. Here’s to you. He says as he downs the viscus potion in a single gulp. Allowing the effects of the potion to take hold, he quickly grabs the bolt lodged deeply in his arm and yanks it out with a small but pointed grunt. He breathes deeply for a moment and can feel pain in his arm slowly ebb away. He knows that the potion wouldn’t fully heal his arm but it was enough to stop the bleeding, for now. Tossing the blood stained bolt off to the side into a pile of blackened leaves, he takes a moment to assess things in his mind.
What was it that the hooded man said? You thought you were going to be clever and catch us unawares. He said “us”. Who was us? The skeletons weren’t an us. And he was definitely headed for the camp. An empty camp full of clever Vorrapedes. Not exactly a nice vacation spot. Were the Vorrapedes the us! Like they were his pets or something? The guy had known magic, was definitely skilled. Was it outside the possibility he was a beast tamer as well? Shaa got a bad feeling about this whole mess. And it wasn’t about a couple of over excited bugs either.
Pulling a needle and thread from his minor medical kit, his practiced hands sew the the slightly oozing wound in his arm closed. Satisfied with the patch job, he pushes himself against the still smoldering tree to give himself some balance. still a bit wobbly from all the consecutive magic, he tries to shake off the fatigue. Man I could go for a muffin. Us. This was going to bug him. No pun intended.
Shaa looks over at Gilder gathering the arrows around the site. The smoke and skeletons were all mostly dissipated so finding them was not too much trouble. Hey man, thanks for the assist. You are pretty handy with the archery. Not that I needed it. He said laughing sarcastically, looking around at his bloody arm and charred forest. In all seriousness, I appreciate it. But we have messed around here too much. Let’s head over to the camp. I’ll feel better if we are moving.
Pushing himself off the tree with some effort, he stretches his neck a bit with a couple of pops and starts towards the camp. He had lucked out with the bolt and he knew it. Had it been laced with something, he would have been in a much worse spot. For now, it was just a sore reminder of the cost of being careless. As a fighter who didn’t wear armor or carry weapons, he relied heavily on the extreme conditioning he had put his body through to keep going. In truth, he got shot at, had daggers thrown at him, been stabbed at etc all the time. And most of the time, he can deflect, dodge or even grab pretty much anything anyone throws at him. But no defense is perfect. There is a chink in every armor. You survive with your brains, not with carrying the bigger stick. He had proved it himself a thousand times. He should have seen it coming, kept under cover. Stupid and careless.
It doesn’t take them long, but soon they can hear the sounds of fighting in the distance, towards the direction of the camp. Hey I can hear them up ahead. Man can’t leave those guys alone for a minute. Let’s go save….ahhh of course.
From out of trees, a second robed figure emerges. What is up with you guys? He says with exasperation. Was there like a sale going on or something for kitschy cultware? You might as well have a bard following you around going DA NA NAAAA. all the time, like really cliche man. We aren’t cultists, nothing quite so noble. Well awesome for you. If you were a cultist, I would have to twist your arm off on principle. They make my life way more interesting than it should be. You are very chatty for a Minotaur. Most Minotaur I have met tend to be a bit more…basic. Umm thanks…I guess? So, I don’t suppose you would like to tell us your evil plan in a convenient monologue or such? What? Never mind. No, I’m just going to kill you. If for no other reason than to shut you up. Goodbye my locuatious monster. Now he was peeved. I’m not a friggen monster!
From out of the trees emerges one of the biggest owl bears that Shaa had ever seen. He could tell that it walked cleanly and purposefully, not the amble of a wild animal. This thing was wasn’t just a regular beast, it was trained. The hooded man smiles wickedly and whistles at the gargantuan animal. Baba he says pointing to Shaa and Gilder. Kill.

Javal held on tightly to the beast’s scaly head as it wriggled around wildly trying to shake off the pest.
He hears Leandros voice and grins yelling back, “YOU’RE DAMNED RIGHT MY FRIEND LETS SHAA WHAT HE'S MISSING OUT ON'' struggling to hold his grasp on the beast’s head scale.
As he stays rigid in his grip he looks down into the armor itself trying to look for a good place to strike it and end this insect madness. He is glad to find some small gaps between the scaled armor and he then grips the scale with his arm and takes out his hand raising it to the air collecting the water around him shaping it into his hand into cold energy before cupping his hand with the magic. A large ice spear (1) appears in his hand he then pulls back his arm holding it before yelling, “Take this vile beast”, and stabs into the space without armor on the Vorrapede’s head.
He smiles with delight as he then hears a loud blood-curdling shriek come from it before suddenly he gets thrown off by the beasts. As he falls to the air below he taps his chest plate summoning a pair of red drake wings (2) to his back at the last minute catching his fall.
He floated for a second before glancing over at the vorrapede he was facing, still having the ice spear lodged in its head and glaring at the fellblood, he then matched the glare back as he raised his katana at him.

"I'll leave the big one to you." Gilder doesn't wait for confirmation as he fires a few warning shots towards the hooded figure. As expected, the man dodges them easily, but Gilder starts to close the distance and keep the pressure on.
A beast is only as good as its beast master he figures. Granted an owlbear is always going to be a problem, but if it doesn't have something directing it then it makes it all the easier for Shaa to fight. He just had to trust Shaa could keep its attention, his lord put a lot of trust in the minotaur so the scout would do the same.
As the next pair of arrows whistle towards him, the figure pulls out a pair of short swords cutting the missiles from the air. In his flourish, Gilder disappeared into the brush.
"Hiding already? Not so good without your arrows are you?"
Rather than respond with words, Gilder dropped from the trees with tonfas ready. He swings down, but is blocked just in time by the swords. It's enough to send the beast master stumbling allowing Gilder to stay close and keep him on the back pedal.
Back at the vorrapedes, the knight continues to work on trying to end these bug's life. He drives the halberd into the wound he just created causing another wail of pain. Leandros yanked the blade like a ship's rudder trying to steer the vorrapede around.
Javal had magic and some nice area attacks. Perhaps Lee could create an opening for the both of them. With one hand on the shaft of his halberd, the other reaches forward to grab hold of one of the tendrils. Surprisingly, it is very difficult to steer a creature that does not want to be steered.
It does start to work though as the vorrapede starts to thrash in that direction. The massive bodies collide into each other creating a vorrapede pile as they struggle and fight each other.
"Hit them both with whatever you can muster Javal, worry not about me, I doubt you'll get through the armor." He grins at the fellblood flying in the air.

Shaa looks at the Owlbear and then at Gilder incredulously. Oh gee golly mister, thanks! He snarks with heavy sarcasm. He had already overextended himself with his magic. He had been shot with a crossbow. He didn’t even remember the last time he had eaten. Now, a trained Owlbear with, yup fitted steal claws, wanted to tear into him like a warm muffin. All of this nonsense and he hadn’t even seen a Vorrapede. What he wouldn’t give to be punching a big bug right now.
As Gilder attacks the Owlbear’s master, the beast looks torn for a moment but refocuses on its instructions, kill them. Shaa would be impressed at the level of training if the friggen thing wasn’t going to try an eat him. The Owlbear roars loudly and bounds quickly at the Minotaur, intent on slashing him to pieces. Running out of options quickly, hungry, exhausted, in a rare moment, Shaa kind of loses his mind.
RRRRRAAARRRR Right back at you Gnoll Licker! In a uncharacteristic fury, Shaa rushes to meet the giant Owlbear head on with blinding speed. The beast hears the Minotaurs cry and for the first time in its life, hesitates for a moment as mortal fear starts to grip it. It had not expected its prey to counterattack him. His training had been to hunt and kill, not be the hunted. What was happening? In its terror, it’s giant paws go limp, unable to attack.
Shaa’s years have training keep his mind together as his body and instincts take over. His eyes focus on the beast, marking it for death. That was the only thing that mattered now. He was the black cloak. He was the fallen snow. In that moment, he was death.
He couldn’t feel any pain anymore. He could only feel the blood racing through his body as he leaps at the Owlbear’s stunned face. Gripping his hands together, he smashes downward with all his speed and all his might. His mark magically enhances the strike even further, doubling its impact again. As his hands come own on the beast’s head, he can feel the bones in its thick skull crumple under the force of the impact. Its eyes bulge a bit as it’s brain crushed, it’s head spiked gruffly into the ground below it. In just a moment, it’s over.
The beast master looks over in utter disbelief. Baba nooo! Gilder now sees his chance.

Javal looked up in amazement as he saw Leandros ride the Vorrepede’s head steering himself with his halberd. He was even more excited as he saw the man drive the beast into its friend and make them squirm and crash against each other in agitation.
“Darn it, I should have tried harder to stay on the Vorrapede with my Ice spike, I could’ve gotten the chance to help conduct this big bug crash”, he chuckles to himself under his breath.
Javal grins as he hears Leandros’s words of guidance rushing forward as fast as his feet could carry him yelling, “Don’t worry friend Leandros, I’ll give this last move all I got”, he then touches his arm where a large gash had emerge from his fall and sprung up a small dagger of blood (1). He then rhythmically swings his katana charging its momentum before driving his foot forward swinging his blue and white glowing blade at the bug wreck diagonally (2) then twisting his grip to slash a second time before driving his scarlet dagger into the area he’d slash causing the beast to erupt in anger as Javal left a large hole through it’s midsection.

If Gilder had thought himself capable of taking down the owlbear on his own, he would have, but he will settle for taking deservedly sarcastic comments from the minotaur. The sounds of punches and bones breaking confirmed the scout had made the right choice Now it was just about pinning the robed guy down.
The lacquered wood clashed with the steel of the short swords over and over. For every blow the the shoulder or body, Gilder took an equal wound. It was clear Gilder was much worse up close than at a distance, but he didn't have a choice.
That split moment when he looks away to check on his owlbear is decisive, the carnage unfortunately the last thing he'd see before on uppercut to the chin. For once Gilder created a crunching sound and the man collapsed, immediately knocked out on the floor.
"Are we bothering to keep him alive?" He looks over to the very tired minotaur.
Back at the bug fight, the vorrapedes seem to be losing their steam. With large gaping wounds and viscera escaping faster than they'd like, the giant bugs are barely moving. Leandros frees his blade from the back of the vorrapede and heads to the head. One last heavy strike down into the brain to finish the creature off.
The knight lets out a breath of relief once it stops twitching and climbs off the bug. His armor shows a few scratches and the shield is dented, but once more the armor proves hard to penetrate.
"I fear we may not have long to celebrate, if Shaa isn't already here that must mean something serious has happened."

As the effects of the Berzerker rage ebb from the Minotaur’s beleaguered body, he manages to amble his way over to the mysterious man. The man, still beaten and distraught from watching his giant pet get hammered into the dirt like a road spike, grimaced as Shaa grabs him by the throat. Kill him? Oh no, he’s not getting out of this that easy. I have been through TOO MUCH CRAP in the last hour. Oh no no no. Imma gonna get… Shaa shudders a bit and takes a breath. Hang on a second. His eyes close slightly as he vomits off to the side. The mysterious man catches the smell and almost loses it himself if he wasn’t having such a hard time breathing.
Ok, I’m a good. Where was I? Oh yeah. Imma gonna get some friggen answers. So, because I’m tired, we are going to play a fun little game called “Oops, I broke it” Gies like this. Let go of me you monster! Shhhh I’m explaining the rules. So, I ask you a question, and then you answer the question. If you refuse to answer or I don’t like your answer aka you are lying to me then.. OOPS I BROKE IT. Shaa looks at the man dead in the eyes. By it I mean you. Look we’ll use this tree. Shaa drags the man to a nearby sturdy tree. K first question, are you the ones controlling the bugs?
The man grits his teeth and does his best to spit in Shaa’s face as he continues to struggle under his grasp. Ughh wrong answer….and gross. Shaa grabs the man by his nose with his free hand and twists hard until he hears a sharp click. Red strings pour down the man’s face as he tries to process what happened.ugh my nose! I know right. You lost that round but it only gets worse. Why are you attacking the caravans? The mam hesitates. Shaa starts to reach for him again and he panics. Fine fine, you win, I’ll tell. You. Shaa pins him to the tree roughly. Wanna see a neat party trick? I can actually pick which tooth I can knock out with your mouth still closed. Between you and me I’ve had lots of practice. I said I’ll tell you! Girls like scars man, really imma do you a favor. We are looking for someone ok! It’s not about the money or crazy bugs. We are looking for someone. Who? Shaa’s eyes widen at the answer.

Javal glances over at the damage that the duo had done to these villainous vorrapedes.
He looks at the one that had fought over the course of the fight and walks straight towards him as it tries to squirm and headbutt him he drops his blood blade to the ground pulls back his katana and swings it straight at its head. Causing the vorrapede’s head to get cleaved off from its body and fall to the floor behind it.
He stands still holding his hands together and bows before the deceased beasts and says, “Thank you for the great battle dear fiends, although you are wicked and cruel you stood tall and gave it your all. I can respect tthat and you gave me and my friend an incredible fight, rest in peace”.
He then separates his hands and takes a deep breath before stretching his body out feeling fairly fatigued but satisfied from their battle.
He nods in agreement as Leandros mentions having to head to Shaa and says, “Yes you’re right let’s go post haste where could he be?".
After hearing Leandros wise response he follows the knightly man intently jogging after his lead although at a slower pass than before thanks his tiredness from the battle.

"Be lucky its just the nose and not the spine...though at the rate you're answering." Gilder slips his fighting sticks back into their holsters on his lower back. Shaa seemed to have it handled so there was no need to play good guard, bad guard. Plus it seemed in this case, Shaa was bad guard and Gilder wasn't exactly great at being good.
He crosses his arms as he waits for the answer, keeping an eye out to the others.
Leandros brims with a smile, seemingly fair from exhausted as he whistles for Byrr. The warhorse was not far from his rider, the two quickly reuniting. The knight is able to grab hold of a rein and swing himself up to mount the horse as it gallops by.
"Shaa cannot be far, he took to the other path. If he caught whoever is behind this, then I imagine they weren't too far from the vorrapedes."
Byrr hustled them in the direction of the minotaur and scout. The noise of a fully armored knight and his armored warhorse were very hard to miss, even in the distance.
