Unnatural

[Faiyloe]

OOC: She doesn't like calling it magic either.

[The Skarzs]

After a moment of pondering the matter, Haenrok shrugged. "Well, I suppose taking a chance finding a place that is potentially nonexistent wouldn't be the worst thing to have happened in the past few days."

[Faiyloe]

"Ah kin shoot lightning from my paws, Rocky here can turn into a living statue, You kin... do what ever that was you did back there... whose to say some legend of a Child's tail ain't true?" Allarie said She looked around at the others just wandering around along the beach.

"I think we should stick together and get off this beach... it is to exposed and in the open. Then once we find some cover we can have a good talk and figure out whose who and whats up," she said. Then without waiting for the others to agree she went over to the group that was wandering around looking for food and said

"Come on we need to get out of the open. See if we can't climb up this cliff and find a place to camp in the forest up there. One of us squirrels can climb up with a rope and secure it for the rest of us to follow." She said going back to the ship and getting a long length of spare rope.

"Oh and we should probably take what we can from the ship and either sink it of hide it, if possible, It's a dead giveaway,"

 As the doomed beasts approached the execution site, a silence seemed to hang in the air. Even the soldiers didn't speak-- many of them had relatives among the to-be-executed.

Erich rose from his seat and stood next to Archel. "We will start the executions at your command, sir," he said.

[Faiyloe]

Archel steeped forward, The royal family where seated in comfortable chairs on a raised dais prepared for the occasion, He bowed to them before turning to the crowd and braking the silence he spoke.

"This is indeed a grim day, but not because of what must take place her, but because of what these beasts allowed to happen. There is a threat growing in this land. The things this magic can do... Conjure ice and lightning and fire, These creatures are inborn weapons waiting to strike. Just yesterday two creatures where found dead on the road to the city, killed by magic. These are the criminals that these creatures have chosen to aide, and by so doing prolonged the threat, to our friends and family, mothers and children. This is why this must happen here today...  to secure the safety of our children. So they may grow up in a world without fear... " Near the end of his speech everyone could hear the passion in his voice as his thoughts turned his daughter... she deserved better than this... He took a deep breath and straitened himself before continuing taking up the scroll that the servant standing by held out to him.

"These men and women have been convicted of treason and the aiding of magic users and are sentenced to hang by the neck until dead," His voice was strong and clear though some of the creatures standing nearest could have sworn they heard his voice waver. This was not there fault... but they prolonged the danger. Allowed the enemy to roam freely for one more day. He looked out at the convicted as they where lead up to the gallows, and sat down... what kind of a world was this... was this the world her wanted for his daughter...

Adal was not always certain that Scath knew what he was doing, being run out of town for stealing for the eighth time only served to aid this suspicion. It had started off fairly well, their robbery of the bakery had gone off without a hitch, Adal was fairly sure that their next target, a large tavern, was the greatest choice. He had distracted the barman while Scath had crept down into the cellar which would have been a good plan, were it not for the fact that in the cellar, just next to the stairs, there had apparently been a drinking competition going on. Scath had burst out of the cellar holding on to a few bottles of drink, grabbed Adal by the collar and propelled him ahead while they were chased out of town by several drunk, angry beasts throwing bottles and stones at them. They had just lost their pursuers when Adal tripped on a root, crashed into Scath and the two cats went tumbling down a hill to land amid a group of young creatures by the river. "Oh... hello," Adal said with an awkward smile.

Sven swallowed slowly as the noose tightened around his neck. A air of panic gripped him and he struggled at the chains that held his paws. He ducked and dodged franticly as the executioner pulled a black hood over his face. He could not get away, this was the end, his thoughts turned to the shrew he had been trying to help him and now he was to die for it.

Sven had faced death more then once, but those times he had a chance to fight back. Here he could do nothing.

A dull clunk of wood sounded and Sven felt the floor give out under his feet. His neck broke from the sudden stop, his feet kicked monetarily before he hung still dead.


                           --------------------------------------------

Arron nodded in agreement, they needed to get rid of the ship but he wasn't sure if the big sea otter would be willing to go along with it. Stepping forward he dropped the onions pilled in his arms. About to speak when two more creatures turned up.

He turned annoyed but stayed quiet waiting for the others to decide what to do.

[Faiyloe]

"What!" Allarie jumped almost dropping the rope as the two cats came tumbling into their group. She was just about ready to attack them without warning but thought better of it and restrained herself "Explain yourself afore I give you a bloody nose and a jolt!" She said angrily just about fed up with all this.

[Jetthebinturong]

Scath got to his feet "Explain ourselves? Really? Because we tripped over and fell into your little gathering we have to explain ourselves? Thanks for that by the way Adal." His last sentence dripped with sarcasm
"You're welcome Scath," Adal replied, with an equal amount of sarcasm. He turned to the squirrel "We made some guys angry, and I tripped over as we were running from them and crashed into Scath and then we landed in your... thing."
"I had expected my implication that we weren't going to tell them anything to be enough, clearly it wasn't."
"Correct."

[The Skarzs]

OOC: @Sandpaw: Well. . . okay. Wasn't really expecting you to have Sven die.

BIC: Haenrok recovered from his surprise at the two cats suddenly bumble into their midst, and he folded his arms to show he meant no nonsense.

"And were you followed by said angry mob? We would prefer not to get into any more trouble ourselves." He looked back up the hill as if he were to suddenly find the pursuers.

[Izeroth]

 Erich bowed his head as the last doomed beast, a rat, stiffened and died. The execution had gone remarkably well, and the lieutenant was impressed.

A light rain was beginning to fall now, and the crowd had cleared away. Only the high officers, a few soldiers and the executioner now remained.

[Faiyloe]

Archel stood and bowed as the royal family departed under tarps held by servants in uniform. Several others carted way the dead to be burned. He looked around with a solemn face... he felt as if nothing had been accomplished here. Nothing at all. An odd rat came up to him wearing a funny cap and he immediately recognized him as his gardener.  "What is it Rorch?" He said for the rat had an urgent way about him witch was odd behavior for the old man.

"The missus sent me, your needed home at once, she said Marissas fallen ill, a'right bad spot," The gardener said. Archel did not wait for him to say any more he started off for home as fast as he could calling back over his shoulder to Erich, "Your in charge here!" before disappearing around the corner.

[Cornflower MM]

OOC: BLUE! I can't really post without you!

[BlueRose]

OOC: Whups, sorry.

BIC: Selva sat away from the rest of the group, mentally cursing every stroke of bad luck that landed her in this situation. The appearance of yet another set of strangers phased her little. Sighing, she unwrapped her bandage, wrapped it neatly over her good eye, and laid back with her eyes open, but both completely in the dark.

[Izeroth]

OOC: Revive?
