[Open Quest] Day of the Jackal

[Mabari]

OPEN TO 1

A small quest following up a previous Thread. This is open to anyone, don't hesitate to join. Looking at killing off some Goblins and Orcs, a camp of them to be exact, and saving all of the slavers. If it all goes good and well, then perhaps 50 rupees reward? Maybe more.


He had left Thoven three days ago, and since then had been running circles across the Eldin Province plains, sleeping and eating whenever he could. He had been tracking three Goblins whom since that night had been chasing after two slaves. They lost them though, and Mabari had a good feeling that they were going to lead him straight to a camp of these Slaving bastards.

The Dog was well fed, energized, and had just rationed off a decently portioned deer. As the day had pressed on, he soon found that the Goblins did indeed lead him to a camp. The smoke from the fire trailed into the sky, and the tents and cages could be seen from the distance; it was a plain after all.

He was about 300 Meters out from the site, and when nightfell in awhile he would make his attack.

Délie-toi, Délie-toi!

Her steps were meaningless : just wandering tapping sounds on the earth, the echoes running shallowly. In fact, she was small, and couldn't effect much could she. She was a special sort of girl : small and unique, her green hair was flying in the wind. The white dress flowing along her body fit her well : she was still thankful. But in the end, it was just a spoil of the road : something to find in this adventure of hers. She had been lost for days, and avoided several things : her instincts as a hunter were still sharp, as her fingers curled lightly, and that fanged smile flash. Her steps stopped, as she noted a furtive figure : the animals had been scarce as of late, and even though she was primarily a meat eater, she had been able to get by on fruits and bugs. Because bugs were still abundant everywhere of course. And it didn't matter : Ziva wanted to see the figure that was there, in the area.

She came closer, and saw a camp with cages : the smoke of flames was swirling up. Something about it grated her nerves : someone was obviously picking on the weak. And she, although very unusual, defended those that couldn't. That green gaze narrowed, as she saw what exactly the figure she had been seeing was. ''Oh a puppy.'' she said, grinning again and approaching. Surely, she wasn't afraid of the dog, as she came relatively close, about a three feet or so away. ''Hello. What is a fine canine like you doing here?'' she said softly, knowing that the animal would understand her : all animals did, no matter which one. Because she was one with nature, more or less, as that gaze was observing, calmly waiting for an answer. After all, he would suffer none of her distaste, her hate. He wasn't one of those humans after all.

And she liked that, did the little Kokiri.

Mabari looked to the figure and listened to her words. He understood the human language as well, although she probably wouldn't be able to know that within finding a way to communicate with him mentally. His nose wrinkled and he looked back at the small camp. "You can...? Nevermind, not enough time for that. Slavers, down there at the camp. I've been tracking them for days now." He stared at the camp, stepping forth. Perhaps he was going to have some help with this task after all, even though Thoven completely proved useless a few days before hand.

Scanning the area, he noticed the original three Goblins he injured, tending to their wounds. Their were 8 Slaves in two large cages, and several other Goblins led by four Orcs. They all moved about, eating and tending to Campsite responsibilities as the slaves slept on, torn and dirtied from the travelling. Each Orc had a hog tied to a tree, and all were well armed. He was going to need help.

The dog seemed surprised at first, but more concerned about it's duty. Of course, that's how they were : loyal to their ideals, as the girl slid now, much closer then before. The girl looked over and smiled, almost creepily, as she extended her hands. ''I see. They're bad things, aren't they? I don't like bad things. Particularly when picking on the weak.'' her voice was darker now, almost dangerous, as the girl smiled, cracking her fingers. ''What's your name, pup?'' her voice was soft still, that dagger's edge as she closed her eyes, slowly unfurling her wings. Green, almost transparent feathers, oddly reminiscent of fairy wings, but not quite, as she spread them, sighing softly. She would take to the skies, and attack from that : that was her obvious tactic, as she looked over at the dog.

''I can take the skies, and speak to the hogs to get them to help us. I just hope you don't mind a few dead green men, do you?'' she said, watching the camp a bit longer. To her, she just had to help the weak, even if they were disgusting humans : but those that took advantage of their strength to pick on the weak were worse then that, as the girl was nearly brimming with the need for combat. This dog friend of hers just had to tell her where, and when. The girl could easily get in, and drag one or two off before they noticed, or something like that. Pick on those that aren't in the main area : that seemed like a good play to say the least.

That's how she hunted packs at home.. so it should work here as well.

Right?

Mabari shifted his gaze, attempting to focus fully on the camp. "Mabari." He was uneasy; this female was rather....strange. She wasn't exactly the normal type, but then again, the last normal type he came across ditched him at dangers site.

"Watch out for Arrows."

The last encounter he had resulted in two dead Orcs, and three injured Goblins whom carries Bows. The Goblins always seemed to carry bows, and there were more Goblins down below then there were Orcs. If she could get the Hogs to help, that would be the most useful. The distraction would prove vital fro saving the Slaves.

"If you can get those Hogs on our side, go for it. Saving the Slaves is my main goal." He had no real reason why. He just....it was wrong. He had been a slave before in one way or another. He knew what it was like.

The girl gave a giggle, and nodded, before looking up at the sky, and then turning her head to the pup. ''Cute name. Ziva.'' she said, as he seemed to answer her question without really answering it, as her green wings shivered, with anticipation and eagerness to say the least, a glow in those eyes of hers. Arrows, hm? Of course, they would be no match for the surprises that she could conjure, as a grin touched the edge of her face, the pup seemingly focused on the humans more then anything else. ''Slaves are slaves : the hogs are just as slaved as the humans.'' the green haired girl said softly, before those wings beat once, making her float and the dress began to whirl, as she moved, now gliding into the sky. Preying on the weak.. how despicable, as the girl moved swiftly, showing a practiced ease with those wings.

Within moments, she was above the camp, her hair moving in the wind, as she saw a spot in which she could get down. With a glide, the girl circled, judged, and then dived : should anyone notice her, she'd make a great distraction, as the knives she had jumped to her hands. She was dropping behind a hog, and intended to release it the moment she landed, with a swift cut of the knife. ''Run, cause problems : take revenge. Just move.'' she would say to the hog, if she managed to get that far. Of course, she needed to get there first, didn't she.

As she took off, Mabari followed her plan on foot. She reached the hogs without confrontation, but that surely wouldn't last long. Once several of them realized what she was up to and that she was even actually there, they drew their weaponry and prepared to fire upon the female. All the Goblins drew their bows as quickly as possible, two groups of them surrounding her on both sides. Meanwhile the Orcs drew their weaponry and prepared for a battle.

Mabari decided he would hit the group closest to him. Charging the Goblins from the back, he let out a Crushing Howl, which dealt heavy damage to all four Goblins. Luckily, they were the ones still tending to their wounds, so they were greatly injured by this move.

With only three now aiming arrows at Ziva, the Orcs were preparing to attack. However, the Hogs had at least caused a distraction. Charging the orcs, they were met by surprise. It gained Mabari and Ziva some time to deal with the Goblins, but not much.

The hogs took her words to heart. With fury they charged, as she felt her blood rush, her wings flaring : her canine companion had dealt with those injured. They wouldn't be bothering them soon, as arrows seemed to be point at her. Her hands had already switched out for a flute, as the hogs had charged : without warning, a melody began to play from a bone flute, as the girl had started walking towards the three that were aiming arrows. She was truly a devious child : there was a strange gleam in her eyes, as she prepared her magic for anything else she would need. It was almost unearthly : the very sound itself was beautiful and elegant, almost haunting in nature, deathly in it's beauty. That was the hidden nature of Ziva, as she was beautiful, the dress like shirt perfect for her body, as her long green hair seemed perfect for the green wings that were flowing behind her. She seemed perfectly strange and arranged, her eyes sparking with intensity. The bind wouldn't hold them long, but it would be enough for whatever the canine planned, to say the least. She was no leader, was Ziva.

This was going to be the fun part.

Mabari took his advantage; as her melodies had its full effect and brought a sleepy illness over the bodies of the Orcs and Goblins, they stumbled in lethargic motions. Moving forth, in a single motion he bit down on the first Goblins neck, killing it instantly. The second one directly beside the first also fell victim to his strike, killing it immediately. As both of them fell to the ground, he charged for the gates of the slaves, his fire consumed paws leaving a track of smoking deal leaves and grass behind him.

As he made his way to, he realized the Hogs were not falling victim to the melodies, and continues their rampage, stomping over the group of Goblins, but not yet killing any of them.
