RP:The Wraith Pyoshia kidnaps two orphans
A terrible day at the Shelter for Younglings
(Setting - The Shelter for Younglings 16 Oct 2011)
The classroom of the Orphanage also serves as the dining hall, and as a general playroom outside of lesson, there are no desk, but an number of kids of various races are sat or on the case of a centaur lad stood around the long dining table, working at their lessons. It seems they are drawing some simple maps to help them learn geography. There are several huge boxes of coloured pencils. Sophie is praising and encouraging her pupils and correcting their mistakes.
Pyoshia had found the orphanage! Her small little form to be outside of the building, peaking through windows yet to no avail. She didn't want to be found, unfortunately, and as such she needed a disguise! The vines along her body would assist her in getting to the roof. Once there, her mind reached out for the insects around the orphanage, each ones mind to be taken over, controlled, by the evil dryad, as she forced it to do Pyo's bidding. The insects were then set inside as scouts, each to explore and search out the various people inside.
As well as Sophie's class of nine pupils, the little insect spies will be able to discover, several children palying in other rooms, or out in the yard, and one boy with a bad cold still upstairs in bed. The teacher continues to help the children produce their colourful maps, it makes her sad to see that one child has drawn elves in Sage Forest, and she explains that all the treeborn elves are now living in the refugee camp in Frostmaw. It will be doing the children no favours, in Sophie's opinion to hide such harsh realities of life from them, though others might chose to shelter youngsters from such.
Pyoshia looked over the side of the building to those outside, much easier prey then those inside! Well, minus perhaps the one upstairs. Once the insects had surveyed the area, the ties with them were quickly broken and Pyo's mind would scour for something of a greater size. A wolf perhaps, or a large wolverine, either animal would be needed. She would leave temporarily, unknownst that she had ever been there and when she finally returned a short while later it was with that of three wolves. Each for the intent and purpose of capturing a single child and fleeing into the night! Pyo to bit sitting upon the largest ones back.
Three wolves
Wolves were perhaps a bad choice on the part of the would be abductor since the at present geography teacher, Sophie, is often a wolf herself , having contracted lycanthrophy some years previously. In her elven form her senses are less sharp, but even so her nostrils flare and the hairs on the back of her neck stand up. She is on her way to check on the safety of the kids in the yard, but sadly gets delayed by having to break up a fight between two boys just outside the orphanage door.
Pyoshia departed off the back of the creature as they neared, unaway of the lycanthropy ways of the orphanage owner. The wolves approached silently, low to the ground as they stalked their pray, until they would see an opening with the children outside. Once one appeared, the three charged forth, jaws open, as they attempted to bite down on the backs of the childrens clothing and run away!
Two of the wolves successfully grab a girl and a boy and begin to drag them off. The third intended victim is more fortunate as his shirt tears and he begins to run screaming in terror. Many other terrified, high pitched children's screams fill the air. Their teacher responds rather strangely, while running in the direction of the boy with the torn shirt and the beast chasing him, she pulls at her clothing to loosen it, then she suddenly collapses onto the baked clay floor of the yard. The woman is crying out, pulling off her clothes and writhing in agony as her snout lengthens, her bones and muscles morph, thick silver hair sprouts all over her body. Once the painful transformation is complete, the she wolf will leap upon the nearest wolf, who has just once more grabbed the boys torn shirt in his jaws.
Make that four wolves including Sophie
The two wolves that had grabbed victims quickly ran for it! The attempt to keep their victims entirely more important then that of the third member of the pack, though that might usually be different their curropted minds had told them so. The final wolf was suddenly tackled however, right after it's maw had once more latched down upon the child's shirt. His teeth released from the boy, the child assumingly to flee with great haste! And the wolf to have to attempt and defeat Sophie! It strugged with Sophie who seemingly had pinned it underneath, it's jaw to bite down at whatever it might grasp, it's curroptive presence to leave behind a nasty surprise. The teeth if they sank in would leave behind a darkness that forced the wounds to remain open, something of holy power needed to allow them to heal once more.
Sophie howls in pain as the unholy corrrupted creature's fangs dig deep into her shoulder, under normal circumstances this might be enough to make the cautious Sophie flee, but not in this case. She is a mother wolf defending pups! With a vicious snarl that might shock most of those who know the gentle healer, she will herself attempt to bite the other wolf's back, her intention is not to kill, but to injure it badly enough that it must flee, she hopes she my then have chance to chase the other two, but she fears she may be too late.
Pyoshia released the mind of the third wolf, it's fate now it's own, as the two wolves came back towards her and they would attempt to flee. The children would be wrapped up in her vines, like a spider traps it's pray, still able to breath but their limbs to be bound. (I figure they couldn't put up much of a fight :/) THe third wolf left behind was swiftly bit upon it's back, the poor thing to attempt and flee wounded! Yet, it's fate was no longer really it's own, while it mind may now be it's own, it's fate was now up to Sophie.
The third wolf, once the terrible corrupting Wraith's influence has left's its mind turns to flee with its tail between its legs like the terrified wounded animal it is. Sophie, after a quick glance to ensure that it has no intention of attacking the children again, ignores it. Other staff memebers are ushering the remaining kids inside, Sophie begins to run after the fleeing wolves with their captives, hoping to catch them before the trail gets cold, after all, they are encumbered which surely must slow them somewhat.
The trees themsleves turn on a druid
Pyoshia had the children once more inside the wolves mouths, unable to fight or struggle against the two creatures they quickly began to flee. Pyo had succesfully completed her missioN! It was clear she would make it away with little hassle at all! Until, behind her in the distance it seemed that Sophie happened to be closing in on them! Pyoshia's mind went to work once again, the forestry to act against the lycan, as small roots from the trees would rise to trip any who followed.
Sophie is a druid, though she has few druid skills when in wolf form. Nonetheless she feels sick to the stomach when the living trees themselves begin to attack her, it just seems so unnatural, so -wrong - The panting, running wolf is indeed tripped. and while she is down. the corrupted, tendril like root takes the opportunity to wrap itself firmly around her right hindleg. The wolf Sophie will be able to chew herself free in time but not until her quarry have made good their escape with their unfortunate victims.
Pyoshia watched as the root bound itself to Sophie, giving the dryad plentiful time to make her escape. The kids would be held hostage, some far distance away.. Perhaps in larket with all the curropted animals that Pyoshia had set up as a base with. Soon though, her notice would go out to the public, a child for a person, if they wanted the kids back they would have to stop Pyoshia first!
