"Put that down, Mr. Eric." He said. "She's obviously not a chicken."

Constaniana wrote:"Wait...I think I've heard about that. One time I when I was in Tyrnâth there was this funny little story the inhabitants of this old town called Haraldsholm told people to make sure they kept the communal plumbing system left over from the days of Galllian Empire clean. They said if someone clogged one of the pipes up then a mysterious warrior named The Loo-Man would come punish you," said Richard, before Tristan spoke to him. Turning to look at the Ice Elemental, Richard shook his head.
"No, you don't have to worry about staying here too long. I'd enjoy hanging around to explore an abandoned castle that has an Inferno entrance beneath it, but I figure I've been dragging you lot around with me enough," said the Halvefori, "Besides, I've got stuff of my own to take care of now that the trail I had on those Watchtower crazies has gone cold, and it isn't really interesting stuff to get others involved in.
As to your initial question, no, this most certainly isn't Erilhall, unless Inferno portals now come with some wacky time travel nonsense. My guess is that the portal just sent us near Erilhall, perhaps to give Tenaembra's commanders a chance to properly organize their forces before attacking, and it would be difficult to set an Inferno door up in an urban area like Erilhall without being noticed. Anyway, Erilhall is a major port, so we'd hear a lot of seagulls and people such if we were there," Richard paused as the wind changed directions, taking a few deep sniffs of the air, "Salt. The sea. Well, we're fairly close, I'm sure," He paused again, glancing at the several castle towers still standing, though vines had claimed much of their surface. "I reckon one of those towers gives a good viewpoint. I'll be back in a little bit," Richard strolled over to the base of one of the grey spires, passing through the open doorway and began to ascend the staircase he found.
"I hope this place has less monsters than the last castle we were in," Kroie commented to Charlie as they emerged into the courtyard together, noticing Lisoette completely stop moving, locking eyes with a tiny wee rabbit no bigger than the palm of one's hand.

Agritum wrote:"I hope so, Sir Kroisoto. Even then, it was clearly built over the entrance of the Inferno we just emerged from, and I'd believe that we should keep our eyes alert, unless we want to have an awful surprise the moment we enter that building. Even then, I don't know why someone would build a castle right over an Inferno...maybe to block it? Or maybe as an outpost to eventually make use of it? I'd like to explore it and discover further clues about it, to be honest." Charlie replied, walking towards the castle.

"That's a good guess, certainly. And I'm sure we have enough time to explore a bit before we head out...wherever it is we go next," Kroisoto remarked as he followed Charlie, "Didn't that old book we found in the last castle we explored say something about the ancients being able to venture into the void and fight Tenaembra's forces for the last time? Perhaps this ruin was initially built to carry that idea out? Though if I were in charge of building an entrance for an army to march into Hell with the intent to exterminate the Demons I'd certainly make it bigger than the door we came through..."
The couple stepped into an entryway similar to the one in the castle near Balclyde, and there were even suits of armour on display, though there were less of them, and they were much less antiquated, being forged in styles common from the time of the Witch War. If Aldry had been accompanying them he would have eagerly prattled on about the famous Kiesawvish Lance Guard cuirass used by men like Margrave Leiskeviretz, or the Calainite skirmisher armour, or the utterly gorgeous Raionru plate armour crafted from bamboo, sculpted ivory, ceramic and steel, used by the Grand Duchy's knight caste, as well as the domestic antique suits on display, but for now Charlie and Kroie had the chamber to themselves.
"Has it really only been little over a week that we've been together?" The noble remarked, before his cheeks began to redden, "I mean, er, as travelling companions and such, not in...uh...a romantic sense, obviously. Not that there would be anything objectionable about it of course...um..." Kroisoto abandoned trying to clarify himself, deciding to walk down one of the passageways to spot anything interesting. Coming upon a wide sot of oak doors, Kroie pushed them open, showing a expansive library, with bookshelves covering the walls. Quite a few of the tomes had been left on the desks in the room, open to different pages with various notes scribbled in the margins.

Zarkenis Ultima wrote:Tristan scratched his head some more. Pink slimes? That sounded odd, though he supposed that the blue slimes had the right color to blend in with their surroundings, and if this was a convenient trait for them then it only made sense that they'd have a more appropiate color. Though then again, maybe pink wasn't the best color one way or the other. It was too bright. Tristan gave a mental shrug at all of this, not knowing enough to make an educated guess and not wanting to know, either. Whatever those slime thingies were they probably didn't need to blend in at all anyway. He would've asked some more about them, but Lisoette sure didn't seem to want to keep talking about them, so the Ice Elemental figured that there was no point in making her tell him. His curiosity wasn't enough to warrant pestering her like that, anyway.
Looking in the direction she was pointing, Tristan noticed the man who had apparently gotten scared of him earlier and then later suddenly appeared in the Inferno doing something weird with Natalie. He was apparently trying to wash himself, but he was doing strange things he had only occasionally seen other things do, though said things were animals and not people.
"I think he's a man, but I'm not sure." Tristan admitted. "He was already there when I found the group."

Constaniana wrote:"Oh. He seems strange, and scary, in a different way. At least Eric talks," said Lisoette, laying back on the grass and setting the bunny on her chest, still watching it intently. The fuzzy little thing hopped after a few moments, finding the prospect of nibbling grass more appealing than laying on the strange big rabbit with the funny ears.
"Do you think I should go see if the redhead is okay?" she asked Tristan after several moments of silence between the two.

Tristan merely nodded at Lisoette as she spoke about Ero-San. Indeed, whoever that man was he was a bit scary, what with the number he did on those demons back at the Inferno and everything. He seemed to be tranquil enough when around the group, though, so he hoped that the wild man would keep that up and not try to hurt anyone or anything like that.
Noticing that she had decided to lie on the grass, Tristan himself thought that he might as well get a little bit of rest, after everything he had done at the Inferno, which, much to his disbelief, ammounted to something more than throwing a bunch of ice caltrops and then stabbing something in the leg, depending on one's point of view.
Hearing Lisoette's question, Tristan scratched his head, wondering who she was referring to. Red head? She didn't know who that was. Nobody had a red head in the group, did they? Unless she was referring to their hair, in which case, well, Richard wasn't hurt so- Oh, she meant Aldraniri. After figuring that out, Tristan nodded. "Yeah, probably. I don't think he got someone to treat him before we left the Inferno. He might still be injured." He said, standing up and holding out his hand to help her.
Ameriganastan wrote:"Ah, nature. So nice to get back to it after a bloody encounter with unspeakable monsters."
Eric had meandered off to a random thicket near the castle. Stabbing Belle Lame into the ground, he sat down on a nearby tree stump in a meditative pose.
"One must always meditate after a battle to expel an lingering violent urges."
Oddly enough, he was joined by another voice...or was he?
"I think you just wanted alone time so you could talk to me again."
He looked back at his sword.
"For the record, I don't believe you actually talk to me. I just think I have some mild psychosis that manifests as another voice in my head. I just project it coming from you so I feel less crazy."
"If it's in your head, why do I sound female?"
He had to ponder on that one for a minute.
"I have no idea."

Constaniana wrote:"Quite a fine sword you have," said a stranger, who was suddenly sitting across from Eric, studying him with an interested expression. Eric wouldn't have any recollection of meeting this man, but he seemed familiar, and had the demeanor of a friendly professor. "I like swords. In spite of all the advances metallurgy and weaponry makes over the millennia the sword keeps its basic concept. Something admirable out that, isn't it?" he asked the retired soldier.

Once Lisoette stood up and began heading off into the castle to look for Aldraniri, Tristan dusted himself off and followed her closely, walking through the castle, feeling the apprehension grow ever so slightly. He definitely did not like being in or around castles at all. But either way, they thankfully found Aldraniri soon enough, examining some armor suits or something to that effect. Tristan couldn't understand what the 'red-head' found so interesting about those things, but he decided not to question it, instead waiting for Lisoette to ask him if he was alright.
However, no such thing happened, and despite being otherwise rather ignorant, Tristan was quick to figure out why. She had been the one to injure him, after all. She probably felt bad about it still. Thus, he decided to ask Aldraniri himself.
"Hey, Aldry, are you alright?" He asked the other Elemental.

"Yeah, I think I'll be alright. I don't think that cut was that bad, really, though I'll need to get a different shirt later on, unless I can scrub this one out well enough," he replied, taking a step back from the lancer cuirass. "Is the Daemoness's head still messed up?"
"The Daemoness has a name, you know," Lisoette pouted, "You heard Veganiz shouting it before you set him on fire, didn't you?" She harrumphed and folded her arms over her chest, "But it's Lisoette, in case you forgot. And...sorry, again, about earlier," the Daemoness added apologetically.
"Eh, I suppose there's not much point staying worked up over it..." the Galllian grumbled.

Best not let him know I'm with a group. He might have backup if that's the case.
"And I don't believe in ghosts. Just a bunch of wistful nonsense. Ironic, considering I've seen demons up close."
Let him know I'm not a guy to be messed with.

"Quite a lot, I'd wager. Someone was already in here reading them, although I'd imagine it's been some time since this library was last used," said Kroisoto, running a finger through the accumulation of dust on one of the tables, stopping when he came in contact with an unfurled chart. Kroie picked it up and looked at it, rather interested in what he was seeing. It was an anatomy chart of some sort, but didn't seem to focus on the usual aspects such things were made for. There were two black outlines on the parchment, representing a man and a woman, and lines of coloured ink coursed through the otherwise blank drawings, clumping together in certain spots, like where the heart, hands, feet and other areas were.
"Take a look at this, Charlie," he said, walking over to the Southemen lassie and setting the chart down beside her book, which also seemed to have curious medical knowledge written within it. It was written in modern Galllish, though the wording was very antiquated, discussing Elemental biological differences, such as the blue blood, unique eye colours, and subtly different bone structure and composition. However, the subject of discussion in the book turned to more arcane matters, talking of passageways within the exotic cerulean ichor known as "Mage slots" or "Rune Veins" that assisted the flow of magic that occurred within the body of an Elemental. It was in this section of the page that notes could be seen in the margin, scribbled in a curious pidgin of Galllish and Halvefoi scripts, though they were difficult to understand. All Kroie could make out of them was a poorly spelled "broaden" with an unnecessary accent over the b, and what looked like a garbled "resonance".
"What do you think all this means?" The nobleman asked.

Zarkenis Ultima wrote:Tristan merely stood ack and listened as first Aldraniri and then Lisoette spoke. Thankfully, the Fire Elemental seemed to be fine despite all the blood that the slash had drawn, so he simply relaxed. If he was okay, there was no need to worry. His mention of Lisoette's head being messed up puzzled him a little, though, but he didn't say anything, instead listening to her response. While at it, he finally heard her name. Now he could avoid calling her Lis all the time... But, then again, it was shorter and easier to pronounce for the foreign Ice Elemental, so he figured he might as well keep doing it.
Since those two seemed to be in peace by now, Tristan looked around some more. "Hey, if you need to change, maybe you could take one of those armors. You seem to like them a lot." He suggested.
Agritum wrote:"It's a treatise of anatomy applied to magical theory and physics! Quite interesting, may I say!" Charlie replied, browsing through the book. "I believe we should take it and bring it to the nearest academy or research institution, Sir Kroisoto. That's quite a good study of Elemental physiology, there." she added.
