[Open] Send Shivers Down Your Spine
🧙 WHO: Zidane Tribal and You!
⚔️️ WHAT: Catch-all for October feat. Fighting, Quests, and Stealing... not in that order
🕒 WHEN: Throughout October until the next Event
🗺️ WHERE: New Camelot, Ruins of Celliwig, Forest of the Fallen
⚠️ WARNINGS: Violence in fighting, and blood might pop up. Other than that, not going into gory details I don't think.
I. Don't Lose Your
He knew some people came back to the Ruins that were once Celliwig, and he did too. While mainly to check up on them, make sure they had their own food or supplies if they intended on staying, he would then stay around to help recover bodies or build grave markers before heading back to New Camelot.
However, subsequent visits were... tense to put it mildly.
It's not the first time people had been scattered by the sound of hooves pounding against the dirt, the disembodied laughing, and blocking the Headless Horseman's swing as he attempted to behead one of the many visitors to Celliwig. Zidane's daggers hold and he managed to redirect the swing - at which, the horse reared and carried its rider away, but they'll be circling around. He never left after one clash.
Zidane took that moment to look back.
"Go! Hide!"
From fixing fences to building up bunk beds, he's becoming a pretty efficient at building things. It was always just whatever set they needed before and then those small repairs around the hideout, but hey, he didn't mind this. It's a repetitive task maybe, but it's keeping him busy and they were going to be used. Really, he was happy to be able to help out.
"Alright..." He wiped he forehead with a wide grin. "This one's all ready! Let's get to the next one!"
It made sense why the landlord had been tight-lipped about whatever occurred at his house now. Originally, Zidane had dealt with the gang that came to his new home saying he had to pay some 'protection fee'. Well, he said that hadn't been in the contract, had a fight break out, and left them in the dumpster where they belonged. After what happened in Celliwig and Lestari, he'd let refugees move into his home, completely forgetting about the gang before.
Imagine his surprise to see those two-bit wannabe thugs bothering the family he was housing - and then hearing how they did that to the whole neighborhood.
He's not exactly sure about this new gang forming, but at least they wanted to help the refugees. And hell, if it meant killing two birds with one stone - IE, dealing with that cheapass aristocrat that set up this gang for a little illegal tinder on the side, fine with him. Donning a new black cloak and mask, Zidane was gonna see this aristocrat and all his friends deciding to withhold aid were gonna pay their own dues.
[OOC: Open also to people who might be deciding to hustle refugees for protection fees because Zidane's not having that. And people who are Robin Hoods or trying to stop said Robin Hood types, let's go!]
The once Forest of the Felled was pretty much just as they'd left it after the encounter with the Stone Giant: too quiet save for the small fauna and wind. And seeing the Giant sit in slumber again just reminded him how they failed, but he digressed. They weren't here about that; they were here about removing wards that were now rendered pretty much useless.
All was going pretty well until the sun started to go down... and then things began to change. He felt the fur on his tail and hair on his neck rise, and eventually had to stop with his group.
Wait, group? But there'd been so many people moment's ago. How'd they get separated?
But he brought a hand to his dagger and prepared himself, the rotted stench of decay and death reaching his nose faster than whatever had started talking minutes before.
... The hell was that thing approaching them!?

II. Bunker Down

III. A Quest from Locksley (mingled with Suns Out, Guns Out)

IV. Forest of the Fachan
The once Forest of the Felled was pretty much just as they'd left it after the encounter with the Stone Giant: too quiet save for the small fauna and wind. And seeing the Giant sit in slumber again just reminded him how they failed, but he digressed. They weren't here about that; they were here about removing wards that were now rendered pretty much useless.

V. Wildcard

no subject
[With that stench, it'd be hard not to.]
[Searching, he finally draws his daggers when the shadow with one leg finally becomes visible, hopping towards them. One arm, one eyes, and a barbed flail... Oh, it was a monster. Okay, they should've expected that.]
no subject
[ Xiao has the spear at the ready. The flail could cause some problems. However - ]
Can you make shields?
no subject
[Zidane's tail curls. While Xiao thinks the flail is a problem... Zidane's wondering about stealing it.]
I can, but we'll need to loosen up some material I can use.
[Kinetic magic wasn't like Light magic - there's no barriers out of nothing. However, he can do something else, and that's stop the flail's first swing.]
no subject
Is there not plenty of rubble?
[ Though it might not matter. Xiao is going to dash forward regardless of that flail. His spear gives him a bit better range - not needing to get overly close. ]
no subject
[Xiao... but talking about rubble. Meanwhile, their one-legged foe is trying to swing their flail, but it's still being held in the air. Fine, it'll try biting Xiao or his spear once in range.]
[Meanwhile, Zidane draws out a ward and some of the rope they've been collecting.]
no subject
[ Xiao is no fool though. Once he's actually IN THERE, he can wrap his spear around the chain part of the flail. Now it becomes a game of tug o war. ]
no subject
[Something he could probably do, but usually it's better used on things already formed. Clawing at the ground, he clumps up some dirt into a packed ball he can use.]
[Back with Xiao, the flail tangled on a spear means the monster is flailing around on his leg with surprising balance to reel Xiao in. Then again, living one's life with a single leg would improve his balance.]
no subject
If he could access his blood magic the he could root himself here for a moment. ]
Zidane.
[ Come on. Do something. ]
no subject
[It reels, snapping jaws and still trying to swing its flail, but the intention is more on getting Zidane off its face than dragging Xiao anymore. But having his boots planted in the corner of its eyelids might make it difficult if it can't get its one hand free.]
Got it, Xiao!
