Quest!! White Balverine Heads

[Griff Trevin]

Griff and Tucker walked up to the entrance of the Balverine's Lair and took in the last of the daylight before entering.
"I guess that Oberon isn't coming?" He thought
They stepped into the cave and kept their eyes peeled for any Balverines.
In the shadows Griff thought that he could see things moving, darting around the cave quickly, but thought his eyes were playing tricks on him and continued deeper into the cave.

[oberon]

Oberon was walking back in forth in the Balverine Cave. He was waiting for a fellow Bandit to arrive. A voice came from the entrance, whoever was talking said his name. Oberon walked towards the other bandit. He had forgotten the other person's name.

"You have arrived," Oberon said sticking his hand out, "if you have forgotten I am Oberon." Beside the other Bandit was a dog. He pulled out a dry biscuit and tossed it to him.

[Griff Trevin]

Tucker snapped up the biscuit quickly and Griff extended his hand
"Good to meet you Oberon, I'm Griff, this is Tucker" he said shaking Oberon's hand.
"So we're in this quest together then, I'll watch your back if you watch mine." Griff said
They stood together in the cave, Griff keeping an eye out. He knew there was something there, Tucker was watching the exact some spot and was growling.
"Over there!" Griff said pointing into the shadows " There has to be something there, I swear it"

[oberon]

Oberon nodded and took his bow out. He had ordered two Iron Katana's, but hadn't arrived yet.
"Griff, go ahead first. I will back you up from here." Oberon took a arrow from his quiver and pulled the string of his bow back. Hopefully, what ever Griff saw was a white Balverine.

[Balverines]

The balverines sensed that fresh meat had entered their lair.
Three of the monsters started to dart up the dark passageway towards where the noise was coming from. The smell of human blood was too good to miss, one sprang at the man with the bow, another at the dog and another at the remaining human, all with their sharp claws in front ready to slice through body.




[Whoever controls the balverines normally feel free to take over, if you do not want to though I will continue for this quest.]

[oberon]

Oberon let his arrow fly hitting the Balverine that charged him between the eyes. He shot another one at the same creature then turned to the one charging at the dog. The arrow hit the Balverine in the left arm.
"Griff, watch out!" The same Balverine he shot twice cept walking forwards. Oberon let another arrow fly at the creature.

[Balverines]

One of the Balverine's howled as the arrows hit it between the eyes and in the chest. It roared in fury before leaping at the human who had shot it and raking it with a claw across his chest.

[Griff Trevin]

"Oberon!!" Griff yelled running to him sword drawn.
"Tucker! Get out of here! Wait outside where its safe!" He yelled
Griff didn't wish for his dog to be hurt in this battle, he may be strong but nowhere near strong enough to fight balverines.
Griff ran at the balverine who had hit Oberon and slashed it across the back with his Katana. It let out a high pitched howl. He spun around to see Tucker leaving the cave, he charged at a balverine with an arrow hanging off its arm, he sliced it twice in the same arm before jumping back to assess the situation.
"You ok Oberon?" he asked "These are just the underlings, we need at least 6 heads of white balverines, not looking forward to fighting them, but I'm not leaving till we have them" He said

[oberon]

Oberon spotted a Balverine about to attack Griff. He shot another arrow hitting it in the head.
"I am okay." Oberon looked at his chest, he was slightly bleeding. with a needle & thread in his pocket, he stitched up his shirt.
"We need to continue deeper into the cave."


((We bandits can have a Will Power too right? Even if our choice of skill isn't Will?))

[Hawk]

Yes, but basic Will only unless you buy more spells

[Griff Trevin]

"How's your wound? I'll cast my healing spell on you" Griff said extending his hand.
His hand glowed with a bright light and healed Oberon's wound.
"There. Let's continue through the cave then" Griff said
They walked further through the cave, down some small passages. Still no sight of white balverines.

[oberon]

"Thank you." Oberon nodded his head as they walked forwards. As they headed deeper into the cave, a low growl came from around the corner. Oberon took another arrow from his quiver and got his Yew bow ready.
"We should of went to the Snowy Pass, I heard there were plenty of White Balverines." he mumbled to himself.

[Griff Trevin]

"Sorry, I was unaware, maybe we should head there now. It would be easier fighting out in the open. I'll leave that choice up to you" Griff said

[oberon]

He looked up at Griff. That was the first time someone had actually heard him mumble something and understood.
"Well, it doesn't matter to me really. It may be easier here since it is narrow and we have to escape route, or be easier in the Snowy Pass it have a wider range to fight." The low growl became luder as they walked.
"What ever is up there doesn't seem happy."

[Griff Trevin]

"Lets just keep moving, the sooner this is over the sooner we can claim our prizes" Griff said
He clutched his Katana in his hand and moved along the narrow passageways into a large room with some rocks scattered throughout. Unfortunately for Griff and Oberon, Balverines could be hiding behind them.
Feeling eager to fight Griff called out
"We know your in here, if you's come out now we promise to make this painless as possible"

[Balverines]

The balverines heared the male voice and attacked. Jumping out of a hole in the roof they surrounded the two intruders. There were three of them, one normal and two white balverines.
They all attacked at the same time trying to slice through them whilst using their knife like teeth to pierce the bandits bodies.

[oberon]

Oberon shot the brown Balverine in the forehead, then again in the heart. He spun around and shot a fireball at a white one.
What was that?! he thought to himself. With a shrug, he threw another one. It made him feel tired, so pulling out another arrow, Oberon shot the white Balverine he had burned.
"Finally, some white Balverines!" he said with a laugh.

[Hobbes]

The Hobbes charged into the cave, attacking and swinging at the Balverines, the humans looked around confused because the Hobbes were assisting them.

[Magpie]

Magpie arrived at the cave, stabbing a White Balverine from behind, who ran off wailing, only to have its head removed by Griff, who picked it up and thanked Magpie for his help. He saluted Griff and the new recruit quickly, and joined the fray.

[Griff Trevin]

"Magpie? God it's good to have you here." Griff said putting the head into his backpack.
Griff charged at the other white balverine that was being attacked by hobbes. Knocking them out of the way he took 3 slashes at the balverine with his katana. It let out a howl and jumped over Griff and ran at Oberon.
