Lost and Alone }{ Very Open!

[wompy]

"hahahaha oh i just needed to get away from it all for a while, the problem came in when I got lost." "How come your here."

[renkhal]

"Yeah, you can have the skin, Wompy. I have no use for it, myself," Renkhal told the reptilian man before smiling at Twichey.

"Yeah, sure, I wouldn't mind the help. Two sets of eyes are better than one." He looked at Raine, who was starting a conversation with Wompy, and nodded. "I'm sure Wompy will keep an eye on her. And I don't think we'll be too far if something happens."

[wompy]

Wompy lugged the bear over and started at the task os skinning the hide. he only took from the waist up since it was a really big bear. "how long has twitchey been with you guys?" he asked raine

[laraine]

Raine smiled gently. "He just sort of appeared while I was asleep. He told me he was curious about something. Not sure what he meant by that. But he only showed up a few minutes before you did."

[Twichey]

[navy]Twichey shifted to his feet. "Well that wood wont find itself eh Renkhal ?" Twichey looked in his direction then made his way outside. He walked a bit untill he stood near the body of the slain demon. This is what he has questions about.[/navy]

[renkhal]

"No, you're right," Renkhal agreed, following Twichey as they walked off.

He was surprised when they stopped by the demon he had slain earlier, and looked at the halfling in confusion. Is this what he wanted to talk about, this demon? Well, it probably wasn't a usual sight, to see a demon lying in the middle of the forest like this, so it shouldn't surprise Renkhal that anyone would be curious about it.

"Why are we stopping? Is everything all right?" he asked Twichey, come up beside him.

[Twichey]

[navy]"Slaying a demon of this size is no easy task in it self. But why in Uthers name was it after you?" Twichey asked.

He bent down closer and had to hold his nose. The smell coming off of this thing was like a horrid mix of decay and excrement. "Do you know if anymore are coming?" Twichey asked as he backed away from the stinking corps.

"Or would miss Raine know more about that?"[/navy]

[renkhal]

Renkhal frowned. He didn't want to disclose personal information about Raine, especially after she had been so hesitant to tell him. It was really up to her who knew what, not him.

"I don't know if anymore or coming," he answered, ignoring the other questions. "This one seems to be the only one close. There haven't been others as of yet. However, I would definitely keep an eye open and your ears alert. I could be mistaken, and there could be more coming this way."

[Twichey]

[navy]"Right. Then lets get some wood and get that food cooked or smoked before we are all to week from starvation to fight back. Twichey replied.

My best guess of dry wood is under large canopies o trees or if there is some maybe near a cave lip like the one your camp is made of."

"Any other ideas?" He asked.[/navy]

[renkhal]

"That makes as much sense as anything else. Shifting through the undergrowth is a good idea, in case there's some wood hiding beneath the growth. It would provide shelter against rain, for the most part, and after the earlier drizzle it will be harder to find wood that's dry enough for a fire," Renkhal said. He figured that Twichey knew this, but it never hurt to be cautious.

"Should we split up a little? We should stay within hearing distance of each other, but it would be faster and probably more effective that way."

Deciding not to wait for an answer, Renkhal turned and started walking in one direction, making sure to stay close enough to Laraine to hear her if she needed him.

[laraine]

Raine didn't speak anymore as Renkhal went in search of more fire wood.

She stared at the dying embers with a sigh. She looked up at the sky as it began to darken into night.

Suddenly a twig snapped and Raine's head darted to the woods where a demon emerged.

She stood up, still wounded but grasped her wand. It transformed into a crystal sword and she attacked the demon, swinging it as hard as she could. She winced as her wounds began to reopen but she wouldn't let herself die here.

The demon swung his arm into her chest and she cried out.

She hit the ground hard and lost her sword.

[renkhal]

Renkhal heard Raine cry out and dropped everything, running in her direction and drawing his sword. He saw the demon, and immediately swung his sword into the demon's chest.

"Back off!" Renkhal growled at the demon, steadying his stance and preparing to strike again.

"Are you okay?" he asked Laraine before attacking again.

[laraine]

Raine got to her feet, nodding. "I'm fine, thank you Renkhal." She grasped her sword and stood beside him.

Although she said she was fine, the wounds had reopened and were now bleeding.

I have to end this fast...

"Lets do this." Raine attacked the demon and sliced one of its arms off.

"Renkhal! Finish it off!"

[renkhal]

As the demon's arm fell to the ground and Raine yelled for him to finish it off, Renkhal thrust his sword forward and sliced it up from the abdomen and up.

The demon fell to the ground, and Renkhal looked at Raine.

"We need to fix up your wounds before you lose too much blood," he said.

[laraine]

Raine smiled softly and fell to her knees. "I'm okay really, I just need some rest...." She was breathing hard, the blood dripping onto the earth. She fell against him, losing her strength.
