the beasts in the forest (open)

[WolfEnchantress]

Damiebn slammed hard into the wall, knocking the breath out of him. He fell, his sword falling five feet away from him, gasping for air. He was sure his whole body would hurt in the following morning.

He fought against himself and got into a crouching position, surveyind the town as he caught his breath. Everything was in ruins. At least, everything on the street. People were now shufflinf through what usd to be their stands, salvaging what could be saved. He felt bad...in their condition, there was nothing thay could do to help that they couldn't do easily enough themselves.

Damien stood and stumbled before regaining balance, and he retrived his sword. He loked around...Muzz was nowhere to be seen. He hoped she had escaped okay.
"Samuel, you okay? Nothing hit you, did it?" He asked. Wood and stone had gone everywhere during the explosion.

[wompy]

Wompy picked up his bag and began to continue his tromp through the city. He met a few gaurds but they were easy to get rid of. He figured that he needed at least four times this much loot to get ut of here. so taking a detour he went into the residental section of town. picking out an imposing house he set one of his cubes on the door and took a step back wating for the explosion.

[thedookienut]

"I'm fine." He replied, hardly paying attention. Samuel continued to watch Wompy as he stalked across to the houses. He sighed, tensing his muscles and clentching his fists.

"We can't just let him blow everyting up..." He muttered, turning his head away from what was about to explode. He limped over and picked up Damien's sword, passing it to him and offering him a hand.

"Best get you somewhere safe to stay." He said, wincing as he finally heard to houses blow up.

[wompy]

Wompy stepped into the smoking doorway, almost filling the entire door way, with his shinning eyes he looked like a demon from hell. He looked around the house and began taking everything of value. he saw a family huddled against the far wall, seeing them he immedeatley left the house with a tear in his eye.

[WolfEnchantress]

Damien accepted his sword and the help up. his was turning out to be a very long and painful day.

"Get me somewhere to stay? You have the broken leg," Damien replied to him. "I can' just hide somewhere. Still.." He trailed off.
Another explosion rang out and he clenched his fists. "That scum doesn't even deserve to live," Damien muttered, controlling himself.
"Perhaps we should just wai it out, give ourselves time to heal...When we see him again, we can kill him then." He was digusted with the idea of running but didn't see another option that wasn't possibly fatal.

[Derek Corrigan]

((OOC: Hope you guys don't mind me jumping in ^_^))

There was a sudden blast that knocked him back into another stall, hard. Shocked he sat up and blinked as people screamed, He noticed three people in particular. One of them was a Lizard-man, the other two seemed Human. The Lizard-Man grabbed one of the Humans by the neck and it seemed like forever as the two where talking. Suddenly, and without warning the Lizard-man threw the one he grabbed into a wall, hard.

Just after that the Lizard-man disappeared into the crowd and civilians along with shop merchant's began salving their stalls. Still shaken from the blast, Derek Corrigan stood up, his eyes shifted around the ruins. He quickly clutched his right hand shut. He was wearing a black long sleeve top with black pants and boots, or what passed as boots. He was shaking violently as he walked slowly over to his pack. Kneeling down he reached in and smiled. Good, it's still intact. He thought as he pulled out a vial that contained a blue-ish green liquid. Derek opened the cap and took a sip of it. Shortly after he let out a light sigh and sat down, his shaking had stopped.

He turned and looked over at the two people, that had came in with the Lizard looking creature. Then he stood up, grabbing his pack and made way over to the two men. Stopping only feet away from then, hoping not to startle them. "Hey...you two look pretty beat up. I think I can help..." his voice trailed off, he wore a faint smile with an otherwise blank facial expression and his eyes were black down to the iris.

[WolfEnchantress]

Still furious, Damien whirled around. He was surprised to see a man standing before him. His anger dissipated mostly and was replaced with intrigue.

"We look beat up?" He saidm and glanced down. After the explosion, he wasn't sure that they looked any better than the rest of the people in the street, but he was wrong. His brand new clothing was ruined and (again) blood covered from his wound that had ripped open. Small tears flecked the rest of his clothes. His cloak seemed rather intact, just a few blood spots. He looked at Samuel, who was no better. His leg looked better, but still badly hurt and a bit swollen. He also was covered in scatches nd wounds.

Damien turned back to whoever was before him, sighing in irritation at his present state. "You aren't worried about your stall, your products?" He had no idea if this man sold anything. "Who..Who are you?" He asked finally.

[wompy]

Wompy had crwaled to the top of a high tower and was now taking the bomb cubes and throwing them at random into the city laughing with glee. running out of the cubes he took out some spheres, he tossed one of the spheres down it landed in a sticy mess on the base of the tower. soon it exploded making a bigger explosion than the cubes. riding the falling tower till he flew by a building at which he jumped off onto the biulding dropping one of the sphere bombs and stepping back.

[Derek Corrigan]

Derek sighed lightly. "My name is Derek Corrigan, and I've been following you all since the forest." He shrugged, "That was a pretty well fought battle back there. Anyways, I'm an Apothecary. I would gladly help if you guys are heading to the next town..." He looked over his shoulder at the ruins. "I'm pretty sure the guards wouldn't mind three people slipping out after, oh say a day of us helping these people, unless of course you'd like to get out of here now." Derek turned back and faced both of them his eyes changed from black to crimson red then went back to black quickly.

Setting his pack down he opened it and pulled out two viles and offered them to Damien and Samuel. There where more explosions around the town as the gleeful monster continued to ravage the village. "We best get going....now." Derek waited until the two took the viles.

[thedookienut]

Samuel glanced over his shoulder as the man, Derek, approached. He wasn't normally this defensive, but after spending a rather violent day in the forest, he couldn't help but grip his sword tighter. He quickly studied the man, who seemed like he wanted to help, and let his grip down some.

"You've been following us?" He asked, wanting some answers. "Why?" He added in demand. He glared at the man, his bright blue eyes shooting him. "Either way, I agree we should leave soon but I still want answers." He added after a few minutes.

He eyed the vile carefully then took it, not daring to open it. "What is that?" He muttered, his voice shaky.

[Derek Corrigan]

Derek looked at Samuel. "I was pretty much lost in that forest. Decided to keep my distance and let things unfold before I reacted." He noticed Samuels grip tightened on the handle on the sword and then loosen a few minutes later. He nodded lightly as Samuel took the vial, "It's a potion, It should help with the swelling and pain, all while bringing up your stamina, one sip should last a good amount of time and no if your wondering it won't kill you."

"You both can ask all the questions you wish later." He said slipping the second vial back into his pack, he planned to give that to Damien at a later time, preferably when they where out of this town. "Because I know you'll both want more answers." He gave a light smile before picking up his pack.

[WolfEnchantress]

Damien watched as Samuel took the vial and hoped it wouldn'y kill him. Derrek had said it wouldn't, but he didn't know who to trust.
"Careful, Samuel" He muttered under his breath so only he could hear, then turned to Derrek.

"Fine." He said coldly. He didn't trust this person. Since Wompy had blown up the village, he was done with trust. At least for now. He didn't take his hand off of his sword.
"How are we supposed to get out of here?" He asked, carefully portraying no emotion.

[wompy]

Wompy dropped down into the hole that he had made, he looked around seeing a table he sat down and started to sleep.

[Derek Corrigan]

Derek pointed with his left hand to the left, down the street was an entrance. "We can go that way, it's quick and easy. Not to mention hardly any fire." He shouldered his pack and started to move forwards stopping only feet away and looked over his shoulder waiting for the others. He didn't mind leading the way, after all....they weren't in any condition to fight, he was, but he decided against it. That would require to much energy to waste to transform... He thought looking at the others. Besides, these two seem...alright.

[thedookienut]

Samuel nodded his head a little, just to respone in some way. He moved the glass from side to side, watching the liquid splash against the side. He kept a straight face as Damien whispered, placing the vial onto his pack. He'd wait until later before he took a sip out of that.

"I suggest we leave now..." He added to Derek's speach. He glanced behind him, soon beginning to head down the street, limping as he did.
