Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific
Soon enough the group was back in the rangers district as the whole area seemed far more alert and on their feet. While some training still continued, the numbers of trainees was far more sparse!
As soon they arrived seemingly out of nowhere a girl with a dark green cloak landed near them "This way." she'd utter as if expecting them. It would be a brief walk and soon enough the group was lead what seemed to be the headquarters of the rangers.
Brilliant wood carvings of elven heroines littered either side of the fairly large hunting hall. Between the earthen colors from the wood and the green silk banners scattered throughout the hall was quite homely, albeit extremely neat and carefully organised.
Following the carpet their guide would step aside and allow them all to approach a trio of quite adorned and veteran looking rangers, their eyes and attired clearly hinting at fair accomplishments "You're the one that brought back Ranna?" the elven leader was there as well, as she was the one who spoke up.
"Mhm." Riley nodded with a casual smile, clearly none too intimidated by the council "What of the others?" the woman added "I'm sorry... Ranna was the only girl unchanged." the trickster looked down briefly and then to them, as the ranger council glanced to one another.
"Ranna said you came from Evergreen, what was your business there?" "What do you mean 'unchanged'?" the questions seemed to be keen to mount up as Riley raised both hands subtly in a stopping manner and smiled sheepishly "Calm down... sit down and I'll tell you everything." the trickster looked to Jenny, Grace and Sir, beckoning them over....
Riley would elaborate a bit more of what she saw as everyone listened, seemed it was her plan to tell the story to everyone in one go instead of repeating themselves.
Seemed the trickster went into the city in search of an object, a specific rune stone that sounded familiar to Jenny for some reason... as well as an item the ranger leaders clearly recognised. Though it seemed the girls progress was paused by "They seemed to be... corpses animated by some sort of mechanisms in them." Riley explained with a subtle wince at the memory, she explained that she saw atleast a good dozen of such abominations and Ranna was under attack by them.
"How did survive attacks from creatures that defeated our lieutenant?" one of the elves raised an eyebrow at Riley, who'd only smile confidently "I'm just that good... and I..." she'd pause and look back to Jenny, fixing her error "We've experience dealing with similar creatures."
