Creature Profile: Scruffies
Creature: Scruffies
Life: Very low. Possibly the weakest opponent.
Attack Strength: Weak. They attack with little lobster-like claws, pinching an opponent. An attack does little damage, but does have some effect. Scruffies aren't particularly dangerous, except to a weakened character...
Frequency: Tend to attack in groups or pairs, often more than three.
Description: Small, often less than twenty pounds in weight, and short, Scruffies are furry animals, with four legs, a small tail, and two pinchers. They are often pink or red in color, but are also known to be blue.

I draw the daggar as one of them attacks, catching my right foot in its pincher and clamping down on my big toe. I kick it away, then lunge, striking it in the back. Its legs curl above its head as it twitches, then becomes still. Another attacks, this one just missing my left foot, then retreating as the last hops forward to pinch at me, this one aiming for my leg. It catches me just below the knees, causing me to recoil from the pinch.
Likke shits! I think. Then lash out at the laast to attack, slicing into its back. It hobbles backward, but stops next to the other one, still alive. THe unwounded one rushes me again, missing again. I lunge at it, stabbing it as I had the first one, and watching it curl up as the first had. THe wounded one wanders off into the grass again, moving slowly.
Whew, I think. The little shits did a number on me. I decide to hurry off before more come my way.
OOC: I don't know if that's what you want out of the battles. I wasn't sure how to do "real time" battle in a RPG. I faked it. Let me know if it's alright. Also, I added the profile so we could reuse the creatures. I also hope it was weak enough for a beginner character...

Koa saw the men dissappear through some brush ahead of him and sped up before he lost them. As he neared the bushes at top speed he heard " Whats going on here" It was to late Koa shot through the bushes and ran into the Man in front of him landing them all into a heap in the clearing....

I hurry along the path, slightly favoring my right foot after the first Scruffy attack. I see more movement in the grass and that keeps my momentum up. THey were only mild wounds, that would heal without difficulty, But I was only armed with a daggar. Best not fight unless I had to.
As I rounded the hill, I could see the gates to the town. The streets were busy with people and the gates to town wide open.
I hurried down the hill toward the entranceway...

Ashwin the Wanderer
As the two others crashed on top of Ashwin, he sprawled to the side, but quickly acted instinctively, taking the momentum of his roll to perform a tidy stand up, drawing his weapon in one fluid motion. The double-bladed sword gleamed in his hand. Before any of the other three could move, he raised the weapon as if to strike.
"FREEZE!" Ashwin yelled. "Will someone PLEASE tell me what in the world is going on here?" he asked, still maintaining his pose, ready to strike if one of them tried to do anything tricky.

"Owww my head" Koa rubbed his head. Koa started to get up when he heard "FREEZE" He instinctivly reached for one of his knives then looked up at the man who spoke the words with his sword poised to strike and thought better of it."Will someone PLEASE tell me what is going on here ?" The man asked. "uggg "koa rubbed his head again as a little bit of blood trickled down the side of his face. " I would gladly tell you if I knew myself...."Koa got up a little wobbley from the hit to his head." I just was chasing after this guy to see what was up with that dead soldier ask em yourself " He poked one of the men in the side with his boot. " When they wake up that is..."

The town looked even larger from up close. I made it to the gates just as they were about to close them.
"Wait!" I shouted to the guards, hurrying up to them. "I need to go in there."
There were two of them, one tall and skinny, the other short and fat.
Fat guard: "Let you in? But the day is over. Wait until tomorrow..."
Fusion: "What?"
Skinny guard: "C'mon, let the kid in..."
The fat guard looked at the skinny one with a face that was quickly getting red. He shook his fist at him, then shook his head and looked down.
"Alright," he said, "But if you come in, you have to stay the night. And DON'T get in ANY TROUBLE!!!"

Ashwin the Wanderer
Ashwin relaxed a moment, looking down at the two unconcious figures, then at the one who stood beside him.
"So... what is your name?" Ashwin asked, putting his weapon away, sensing that this man meant no harm.
"Koa, and yourself?"
"I am Ashwin, and it is good to meet you." he said, sitting down on a nearby rock. "So you don't know these two? And what was that you said about a dead soldier?"

"Haha!" I said triumphantly as I reached the two unconscious men. "Finally caught up to you. Thanks for waiting" I said. "Who are you?" said a voice to my right. I turned, there were two men staring at me. One of them had a sword unsheathed. "I'm Tempest. This rogue" I said gesturing to the unconscious half-elf," has one of my personal effects. And if you don't mind telling me, what the hell is going on here?"

Ashwin the Wanderer
"This is turning out to be one weird day..." Ashwin thought to himself as he looked the newcomer up and down.
As the man asked what was going on, Ashwin gave a laugh. "That's what all of us have been saying. Now, explain yourself, before I gut you like a pig." he said, standing up, wielding his blade, and looking very menacing.

"Gut me like a pig? That's not very corteous" I said drawing my swords. I didn't like bigshots. "And what make's you think you could gut me like a pig?" I said shifting the blades together for effect. "Hold on you two!" said the other man. "Let's not let anything get out of hand" he said coming between us. I looked at him. He seemed like a nice guy. Even though I was skilled with my swords, I didn't feel like a confrontation, and besides, I didn't know how skilled the guy with the sword was.
"You're right" I said, replacing my katanas. "I am Tempest Ballast, of the former Bakka tribe, I'm was just passing through when I dropped my father's dagger. This elf must have seen it and picked it up. It holds great sentimental value to me, so I've been chasing him" I said. "Now, who are you two?"

I was inside, but a lot of good it did me. I had little time, especially considering the fact tht I had to find somewhere to rest for the night.
I weaved among those around me. The streets were incredibly busy.
I saw the shop ahead and to the right of me, and quickly made my way there. The shopkeeper saw me coming and quickly tried to close the door.
I pushed against the door, saying, "Wait!"
"I don't want you damned kids stealing anything else today!" He replied.
"But I don't want to steal anything, I want to buy something!"
He stopped pushing then, "Buy?"
"Yes," I replied.
He took a quick step backward, letting the door fall closed and causing me to fall on the floor at his feet.
"Oh," he began, "Well, why didn't you say so. Come on in."
He walked around behind the counter and stuck his pipe between his lips. I got o my feet and pulled my money pouch from my belt.
"So, what can i get for you?"
"I need potions," I said, "Healing potions...Oh, and can you tell me where I can find a weapons store?"

Ashwin the Wanderer
OOC: Whoops, sorry. Somewhere along the line we've messed ourselves up with the number of people in the clearing, and I have a sneaking suspicion it's my fault. So, just to make sure, the people in the clearing are:
Ashwin (Me)
Koa
Tempest
Kamatian (Unconcious)
Is that right? God, I don't wanna screw up again.
IC: Ashwin sat down and laughed, putting his weapon back in its sheath.
"God, none of us know what's going on, do we?" he said with a grin. The shakes of the heads from Koa and Tempest were enough to tell him they thought so too.
"My name is Ashwin; I am an outcast, a wanderer." Ashwin said, bending down to pick up the half-elf, who was still lying unconcious on the floor.
"Wakey wakey, little man." Ashwin said, gently shaking the half-elf.

"It is nice to meet you Ashwin, and while you're there, I believe the half-elf has a dagger on him somewhere, could you hand it to me?"

OOC: Sorry if I misunderstood Rayv, but I wasn't in the first RPG. In my discription of you, I'm using your picture...hope it's arlright...if not, i can always edit.
IC: I stepped back when i saw him. Huge, a creature that towered over me. I reached for my daggar, but stopped then, realizing it would do me no good. I caught my breath, making sense of the situation. In this town, if he were a true foe, I wouldn't be the only one alarmed.
I stepped inside and inched my way up to the counter.
"I'm looking to purchase a more effective weapon," I began, "But I wanted to trade in my old one, if that's possible. What do you say?"

"Sir!"
John looke dup from behind his desk, interested in what the soldier had to say.
"We have around twenty or so (innocent) renegades locked up in the basement of this building, with tight security around all the intire complex. So far no one is talking, but they are all scared."
He began thinking for a bit, "Kill off three in the morning, and then see if the rest will talk."
"Aye sir. There is something else. The unconscious soldier finally awoke, and he talked of his other two scouting party members, both dead outside the city gates. He also gave a good description of the man who did it."
"Excellent," he stood up, "Get a sketch of this man out to the entire city, and promise a big reward. Also, bring in Tartarus, I want him to bodyguard the prisoners...."
The soldier nodded, and ran off.
"One more thing, send around ten soldiers or so out to retrive the bodies, and kill anyone who looks like they had anything to do with it."
"Yes sir.
The city gates opened, and ten soldiers ran off to the forest.
(let's see. Tartarus is a level 10 monster. (I'm assuming you're all level seven since we're just starting)
A two legged bull animal, with a double edged axe as his weapon. He's into fire type magic.
Oh, and the soldiers aren't too much of a problem. I'm sure the four of you can handle them. Oh, just a small thing though, don't kill them all in a few posts, I'm going to put a little plot twist in the end, so leave on or two standin, k?)

Ashwin the Wanderer
Ashwin looked inside Kamatian's clothes, quickly finding the dagger Tempest wanted.
"Is this it?" he asked, showing it to the other man. Tempest nodded, quickly grabbing the dagger and tucking it away.
"So, do you know anything about those dead soldiers?" he asked Tempest.
"Ah, yeah..." Tempest said, surprised. "Why, you're not their friends are you...?" he asked.
Ashwin noted his defensive answer, before shaking his head to the question. Koa did the same. Tempest seemed to relax a little.
"Why, what do you know?" Koa asked Tempest.
"Well, I was kind of the one that killed them." he said, rubbing the back of his head. Ashwin's eyebrows went up.
"Wow, you managed to beat one of them on your own?" he asked.
"Well, not exactly..." Tempest said, grinning. "Two."
Ashwin's brow knitted in confusion. "But, I heard there was only one dead...?" he asked, looking at Koa, who looked confused as well.
"Well, yeah, I left one unconcious..."
Before he could finish, Ashwin flared up in anger. "What were you thinking!?!?!?!?!? I hope you know, the entire army will be after you now! He'll tell 'em all!"

" I know that!" I shouted. "It was self-defense. Four of them were after me and I fell out of my hiding place; I had to fight" I said, slightly embarrassed about the falling out of my hiding place bit. "I don't even know why they were after me... Anyway, I have to get to Tula" I said. "People there will be getting killed if they are thought to be connected with the deaths. You two can help me, or you can try to turn me in. But I won't go down without a fight"

Komoa got off the cart, nodding towards the other troops.
"He was found near here, begin a wide search."
In less than ten minutes someone came back with the news. Komoa looked down at the meadow next to the forest. There laid the dead body, with four or so people surrounding it.
"Ok, seven of you attack from the front, I'll take two more and go around back. Go..."
The other ones went around through the back, as the seven made themselves known to the group
"Attention! Halt, by order of the newly appointed mayor of Tula. You will all be attained and questioned for the death of this honorable soldier."
The seven were getting edgy, their hands on their weapons, "Come quietly, or face the consequences."
