Age of Frost [RP]
( we got mysterious figure called ansclem and he refused to give the answer. then he attacked blitz )
While Blitz tries to weave through the snowballs, it's to little effect as they begin to close in on their target. However, before they impact and potentially cause major injury, the fireballs sent by Felicia to counter hit their target, turning the snowballs into watery mush incapable of harming anyone. Iris's and Felicia's attacks miss by a large margin, but Blitz's spectral arrows hit, sinking into Anschelm's upper chest and through the area where the collarbone is.
Anschelm falls dead within just seconds of the initial action.
As you immediately set about pilfering the body while the blood is still warm, you come across something in a robe pocket you didn't notice before while Anschelm was still alive. Inside the ragged and sewn on pocket is a small piece of folded paper, well-worn as if furled and unfurled dozens of times. Otherwise, there's nothing much on Anschelm's corpse.
As you take the robe, which is worn, dirty, and very bloody, another piece of paper falls out from beneath the mask. This one seems newer and hastily shoved away, along with being very crumpled.
The note reads, in frankly very messy handwriting:
Anschelm,
There is a group of investigators currently making their way northwest. Take thirty undead from the army and wipe them out. Himadut wants this done as soon as possible. Remember, the way back to the mainland from the temple is along the frozen river. Just follow that.
-Dreadlord Nikhil
The mask is skull-shaped, and pretty dirty from presumably Anschelm wearing it all the time.
Kari has managed find where everyone else is, along with the Ronrif and Trist, moving behind Iris while she's reading the note and peers over her shoulder to also read the note. The Ronrif is aggressively stomping on Anschelm's corpse as well as sniffing at Felicia in suspicion.
*Blitz stares at the pathetic attempt, sighing.*
- Real nice work. -
*He immediately shoots 2 spectral arrows from his crossbow [15+1], then weaving through the snowballs [11].*
