Oct 10, 2022 11:36 am

You begin the days long journey back to Castle Refuge, hurrying to get back and relay what you've seen. You ride through forests and around small group of hills. Then, in the distance, you see a village, smoke rising from it.

Cass swears, and guns her hover bike. The impetuous Cyber Knight is prone to rushing headlong into danger, and she repeats her mantra to herself.

"Valor - Exhibit courage in word and deed. Defend the weak and innocent. Fight for an ideal, like freedom. Fight with honor. Avenge the wronged. Never abandon a friend, ally, or noble cause."

Adatahl pulled up alongside the jetbikes, a shockwave of clouds under his wings carrying him at an even pace. Part of him regretted not taking his own jetbike, despite how small they were in comparison. Perhaps looking a little goofy might be worth the hours of concentration that maintaining the spell was costing him.

But dignity was an important weapon. He couldn't afford others to lose confidence in him just because he was uncomfortable.

At the sight of the plume of smoke, he pivoted towards it almost reflexively, before realizing he had a full wing of comrades. He motioned to the others with a free hand, pointing over. The least they could do was have a look

You ride up to the village. It seems like it would be a peaceful place, if not for the burning buildings. There are children screaming, and people tending to the wounded. A pile of bodies lies on the outskirts of town, as well as the body of a monstrous creature with laser wounds all over it. Several men and women with laser rifles patrol the area, and one rushes up to you. "Halt! He says. "Who are you, and what's your business here?"

"I'm Cyber-Knight Cassiopeia Canon, and we are from Castle Refuge. We saw the smoke and came to lend what assistance we might. Were you attacked, is the battle still going, or did you drive them off?" Her eyes fall on the smoking hulk.

The man, who looks a little older, balding, with a salt and pepper beard, says "There was a fight yeah. A group of demons showed up and we had to fight them off. We killed this one and the rest ran away."

Cassiopeia and Lanval, you both recognize the "demon" laying dead before you is actual a creature called a Deevil. It's an ugly, fanged humanoid, with a large muzzle like mouth and a wide pig like nose. It has small serpent like yellow eyes, bushy eyebrows, a large pair of ram's horns crowning its forehead, and a shaggy black mane of hair. The upper body is that of a muscular male, but the arms, shoulders, chest and back are covered in short black hair. It's fingertips have long claw like nails. The lower body is that of a goat, with cloven hooves and a devil's tail.

There are fires to put out, and injured to tend to. What do you all do?

Sun Li gets off the back of the bike (I am assuming someone lets him ride on the back. Trying to drive and be psychic at the same time ain't a great combination.). Stepping down into the village properly, Sun Li looks over the village carefully and begins to ascertain the resources necessary to help and whether it was worth his time. He had the ability to mind flesh, twisting it back together with biokinesis, but it was draining on the mind melter.

"I am...sorry for the harm you suffered. How many casualties did you suffer? Which direction did they go?" Sun Li asks the grizzled man.

Adatahl keeps a safe distance from the others. In Coalition territory, creatures such as he are cause for trouble. Wordlessly, he approaches one of the burning buildings, passing fearlessly by the armed sentry. He spread his wings wide, his hands performing a silent mudra, gathering a cool, damp mist, a gray fog that passed over one of the structures, seeping the raging heat and leaving embers smoldering among damp fuel. Best to act and prove his intent.

Cass chews on her idea to chase the demons and bang them back into whatever rift from which they sprang, but her companions give a calming influence. "Let's help them get these fires out, then we'll be on our way. If the Deevils come back before then, then they'll have us to reckon with." She knows her companions have many skills, but she has only a few. One of those is leading.

She joins the fire brigade and quickly uses her charisma and firm hand to reorganize them as best she can.

The old man says to Sun Li "They fled to the northwest. Not sure we really scared them off so much as they went in search of easier prey." He then directs Sun Li and Lanval to the wounded.

Adatahl and Cass, between your efforts you are able to snuff out the fires before they spread any further. There is significant damage to some of the homes, but you've prevented the flames from spreading throughout the entire village.

The four of you work hard over the next several hours, helping restore some peace to the people. The sun is low in the sky when you've come to a place you feel good stopping, when the wounded have been treated and tended and the fires are completely out.

Adatahl and Cass, as the afternoon wore on you each collected a little gaggle of children around you. They were smart enough to stay out of your way as you fought the fires, and stared at you both in awe. When the day is ending, one of them approaches Cassiopeia and asks "Are you really a Cyber-Knight?"

"Being a Cyber-Knight is serious business, children. A lifetime of dedication to the ideals of justice and fairness. I was trained by Lord Coake the greatest of us, and taught the lessons. To live one's life so that it is worthy of respect and honor. Live for freedom, justice, and all that is good.

Once the debris had been cleared and the wounded had been salved, so much as they were capable, Adatahl waited for his companions near where they had landed. Presumably, they would return to discuss the situation. With two arms folded, leaned against a tree, he let his opinion be known.

"We should stay the night. Our journey is already paused, and the beasts may return in the night for revenge." He motioned to the wreckage.

A peal of thunder sounded, as the Lyn-Srial arced into the air, propelled by a snap of his wings that rattled the windowpanes and fuelled by a mystical wind. In a streak of gold, shimmering pale in the moonlight, he descended among the beasts, talons-first, a powerful foot gripping a deevil by its face and dragging it to the ground.

Catapulting to his feet and flipping behind the line of battle, drawing two shining white blades from thin air, he adopted a straight-backed fencing pose, silently challenging the beasts with the point of his sword, the other held behind his back in a cheeky salute.

Eyes widened, belying the concentration behind the display that was made to look almost effortless, as his four hands grasped and turned their lunging arms, throwing them effortlessly into the woods behind him, dedicating each hand to a display of defensive martial arts that turned his attackers into a stumbling whirl of uncoordinated bodies.

"You know... you are permitted to withdraw..." he suggested, giving a sympathetic shrug.

Clearly, they were not convinced. He had hoped cowardice would prevail - he had little hope for negotiation. But if force was what they comprehended, force was the language he would speak.

As the beasts lunged, he caught one by the forehead, full-stop, fingers woven through its gnarled horns. With a lunge he slammed it back through a tree, and slamming it once to the ground beyond, with enough force to embed it in the dirt with a spray of dust and loam.

She claps the draconid on the shoulder, maybe a bit too hard. "A rush is what that was. But I wish we could have slaughtered them and sent them all back to hell. They were beaten back twice now and we'd be fools to think what drives them won't make it once more."

Chapter 02 The Way Back

The townspeople emerge from their homes, and you are greeted with cheers and grateful thanks. The older man who spoke to you before says. "We're indebted to you. We've not seen creatures like this before. You handled them easily. I wonder if you might be willing to stay a while in case they come back again."

She looks at the others. "We have an urgent matter, a message to attend to. Once we deliver it, I will return and help defend your town from this threat."

"Fear is a powerful force in beings driven by hunger and malice." Adatahl folded his arms, beak clenching as he glanced towards the woods, where the creatures had fled to. "Having been beaten twice, they may move on. It's a stupid coyote that lets itself be pricked by a porcupine three times." Adatahl nodded at his own words, to reassure the headman.

He glanced towards Cass, a little nonplussed. He did not relish the killing as much as the fighting, even against beasts as these. "The Bastion may have pressing business for us. But we will be assured they know what happened here."

Lanval nods in agreement. "It is as my companions say. We are needed elsewhere. But, perhaps before we go, we can give your defenders some plans to follow and suggestions to bolster your defenses."

Chapter 02 The Way Back

The townsfolk are incredibly grateful. You all mount up and continue on your way. It's another days travel at high speeds through light forest and rolling hills. In the end, you return to Castle Refuge, home of the Tomorrow Legion. The towers gleam in the morning sun.

You pull into the courtyard. Attending dwarves rush to see to your vehicles, and a paige runs up to you. "Lady Canon, Adatahl, Mr. Lanval, thank goodness you've all returned. Lord Coake is assembling all available Legionnaires in the main hall for a briefing."

Chapter 02 The Way Back

Cass shakes out her legs from the long ride, and secretly was going for a bath and maybe a long stretch. "Of course. I know the way."

She unhooks her travel bag from the hover bike and waits for the others before they head in.

Lanval also manages to hide his disappointment at the immediate summons but it must be something important for a general summons like this. Lanval grabs his backpack and falls in next to Cass. "No rest from the wicked it seems."
