[Mafia] Witch Trip

[Kennifer]

"Ow... Is everybody okay?"

...

"... oh god."

Supernatural? Just an accident? Yeah she wasn't going to think about that right now because OH MY GOD CORPSE.

[Cutegirl920fire]

After taking a few deep breaths to calm herself down, Abigail pulled out her medkit from her backpack. While her enhanced durability saved her, she knew others wouldn't be as lucky, as seen with the hiking instructor.
"I have a medkit! Who needs help?!" She shouted, searching for whoever was in need.

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

I... I'm fine. I've taken worse. I think.

[PointMaid]

...

It could've just overheated.

[Zanreo]

"Oof... Seeming like real hurt" says the cyborg with a purple cloak and impressively tall hair, as he puts away the strange futuristic-looking snacks he had been eating.

[Kennifer]

"I think I'll be okay. Scraped my elbow, other than that I think it's mostly bruises. Nothing feels broken or sprained, at any rate."

[Florien]

WOO! HERE WE GO VELS YEAH! ...Oh yeah the hiking guy.
...Shit did we remind them not to get too attached? He always dies. Even in the iteration without the witch he died.

You shot him.

Okay, but I was trying to hit a deer, because SOMEONE gave away all our packed supplies trying to buy a massive bloc that iteration.

Fair. Anyway, we're here! Time to initiate the PLAN!

They then high-five with a clank of armor, completely ignoring the mess and chaos around them.

[Cutegirl920fire]

Abigail sighed a breath of relief. She supposed that the hiking instructor was unlucky, or the Blackmore Witch killed him to set an example. She then notices the cyborg man.
"Hey, who are you?" She asked, haven't really seen him before.

[Zanreo]

"Oh, guess forgetting to set up the introduce? he says. "Name being CATS. Nice of meet you!"

[Cutegirl920fire]

"Oh, guess forgetting to set up the introduce? he says. "Name being CATS. Nice of meet you!"

"Okay, my name is Abigail, I don't mind being called Abby or Abbie for short," Abigail said. "Nice to meet you as well."

From how CATS spoke, Abigail assumed that he might be ESL but decided to not say anything about it in order to not come off as rude.

[PopcornPie]

Quinarva was tumbling and laughing the entire way down, breaking her antlers.

"That was fun! Can we do it again, Mr.-" She saw the corpse and turned pale.

[Cutegirl920fire]

"Alright, since the Instructor is dead and we're most likely in Blackmore Forest, I suggest that we set up camp for now. I'll set up the campfire." Abigail suggested.
She then heads out for some wood for the campfire.
> Search for wood for campfire.

[PopcornPie]

"Right. Looks like we have to wait for someone to rescue us. Well, rescue you, anyway." Quinarva said cheerily. "Unfortunately, with my antlers broken, I won't be able to scrape the bark off trees. I can forage for food, though!"

> Look for edible plants

[PointMaid]

...We'd better prepare to spend the night or more, since we can't call for help, yeah. Unless anyone else has a cellphone that hasn't exploded and has signal. I'll come.

> Also helps find and gather wood

[Kennifer]

"Ah, I can help with a campfire!" Delilah nods.

[Florien]

Oh, fine, we'll set up the base of operations this time.

>ADVANCED MILITARY CAMPING SKILLS GO (basically just make an extremely functional campsite.)

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

You all decide to make your way through the woods and find yourselves in the same forest that you saw before that hard fall. But it's a lot more.... off than that view you had earlier. Sure, the trees were all leafy green. But the nature life isn't as fruitful as you had seen earlier. In fact, all you can sense is death. The stench of something here that died entrenches you noses. You all look around and the trees themselves look old and dead. Looking at the ground, you see the bones of various creatures embedded into the ground. Birds, wolves, bears, among others. And you even see human remains. Even the sky, which was a beautiful blue, is now significantly darkened. Not enough where you need lights, but it's dark enough to add to the mood of dread you all suddenly feel. And if that weren't enough, as you venture further into the forest, you feel intense heat behind you all. You turn around and see these walls of flame going all around the forest. And suddenly... you all hear a voice. A deep, but snooty voice of an adult woman. You all look around to see who's talking, but no one to be found. But everyone here can hear the voice quite clearly.

Ahh, new victims brought fourth for my pleasure. Everyone of you has a purpose here. It is to die and suffer. with no means of escape. And let it be known that death will not come swiftly for you all.

The voice descends into maniacal laughter as you all find what appears to be several beings that appear to be ghosts rise out of the ground. They fly upwards and ring of ghosts that each circle around for a good several seconds before they drift off. They all fly into each and every one of you here.

You know what you have to do, the voice said, only this time inside the heads of everyone here, and the message echoes inside of you, getting dimmer, before it's replaced with the sound of screaming. The horrific screams of various people who sound like they are in a great deal of pain, quickly begging for death, dying horribly. The screams get louder and louder, assaulting your eardrums. You're not sure if you're all about to go insane or deaf, perhaps even both. But just as you all think you're on the verge of going either, the screams stop. Not sure you know what to do, you just look around and find yourselves in the northern side of Blackmoon Forest. Separated by a river with more to explore on the other side. You can find a way to cross the river, if you choose to find a way.

And as for actions...

> Search for wood for campfire. (Abby)

Plenty of firewood everywhere, all spread-out from the dead trees here. You can't go wrong.

> Look for edible plants (Quinarva)

You manage to find some near a few bushes.

> Also helps find and gather wood (Taira)

Like Abby, you find plenty to go around.

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

.. Um... Let me see what I can do...

Naomi... >pulls out a cell phone and tries to get a signal

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

>ADVANCED MILITARY CAMPING SKILLS GO (basically just make an extremely functional campsite.) (Fentiriss and Lukanios)

Your camping skills failed to conjure anything up

[PointMaid]

...BRENNA! Good lord, if that's you out there trying to spook me and everyone else here, I swear...

Taira is pleased to find plenty of firewood, though.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

And as Naomi attempts to reach contact with her cell phone, her phone too explodes.

You are all fools if you think any of your electronic devices can save you.

[Kennifer]

"Okay, this shit's getting real now... that or someone slipped everyone something, we all hit our heads, or we wandered onto a very convincing horror movie set. But... yeah, not looking so good, are those legends really true then?"

Delilah pauses, shivering a bit.

"Let me know when you're ready for that fire. I can start it when you are."

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

Well. This is a problem. And...

Naomi looks at the river...

I... Can't swim. I think.

>find some wood and make a river bridge

[Florien]

I'm just going to straight up walk across the river in my brigandine and all, and you can't stop me. I'm not fucking with trees and shit to make a bridge this time.

Fentiriss >Walks across the river.

Meanwhile, Lukanios looks at the phone situation.

I believe that once around, one of you made a "sam sing galaxy note seven" joke at the communication thing situation. I too now make that joke.

[PopcornPie]

Despite circling back to the group with plants in hand, Quinarva's cheer was totally gone at the sight of the dead trees. "Loggers?! Why..." She snorted and pawed the ground with her foot. Totally prepared to charge at whoever killed this beautiful forest, she was nearly burned by the wall of flame. It just made her angrier at that presence taunting her. "I will not be killed, Σκρόφα! Leave us at once!"

When the ghosts entered their bodies, she put on a flair for the dramatic. She clutched her waist and bent to the ground, snarling quietly while her face contorted in a pure chill. After all was said and done, she remained in that position, stunned and helpless.

Just dramatics...right?
