HeartOfFerria

Galla backed up another seven feet. The skulls were remaining on high alert now, focused directly on Lukkel. Deep blood rest fog poired from their mouths along with waht appeared to be actual blood. Galla didnt wave them off. “Its F-Fine. One match. But then Ill be returning to my lab.” Her skulls kept chattering and Pang, knowing of Galla’s strengths he was able to see a fresh would open on her neck. Galla had cast a spell. But no damage appeared to be inflicted on anyone else. “Lets hurry along, Ill give Kolm off to you for Guidance. Maybe Ceres will join you as she tends to.” She tends to move off towards the arena, keeping a minimum distance of 7 feet from the others at all times. “Hogarth its good to see you. How has your work been going” Ceres smiled and asked. She shifted her attention towards the tinkerer, happy to give everyone the attention they deserved. She smiled at the mention of Galla.

Serveral of the loaders went alert at the sound of the Lure going off. “What in the hell is that!” Exclaims one “I dont know! But we best check it out maybe someone is here for bosses bounty.” Says a second “Unlikely, the boss is ruthless, he’d gut them in an instant if he found em” says a third “Heh i guess your right” the first chimes back in as they drew close to the crate that now only Tibarn was behind. The rogue could hear the activation of a laser pistol, a charged knife, and the chiming of a chain.

But Galla and Pang arent new...

“My name is Ceres, as to andwer your question, you are in the realm of Haven. A place where thr chosen a brought to elimate ancient evils and the like for the sake of all that is good. I regretably inform you that you have been chosen and thus... you are stuck here sooo you really have no need for that map.” She smiles at him. “There are great benefits to being here though. So worry not new friend”

Galla was Noticably freaking out as her dress was grabbed by Lukkel. She seemed to almost freeze up while the skulls began to chatter at him again, seemingly angered by his actions the smoke that was coming from their mouths seemed to billow further turning different shades of red. Their loud alarm-like chattering persisted. Galla then began to try to pull away from Lukkel. No words, just fear in her eyes.

When it comes to grunts ill say you guys can control them too, just leave named NPCs to me.

Tiki happily nodded. “Yes thats sounds fun. Lets go!” She tugged on Peach’s Dress. “C’mon lets go! Lets go!!”” Tiki was cade excited by the statement and being as childish as expected of her. Lute growled “and Im to assume this essence works on all spell books?” Lute crosses her arms not wanting to be scammed

Thats what i was worried about

Can our characters see them? Or can only Henry see them?

Ceres perked up at the sound of somebody being lost. Always one to happily help, she turned to see Henry realizing he was somebody she had never seen before. Then she had a thought and grabbed hold of someone nearby “pardon me but could you watch for the newcomer from this room for me? Something just came up and i need to attend to it immediatly.” Before the person could respond Ceres moved towards Henry and nervously raised her voice .”U-Um... excuse me... do you know where you are...oh a-as to say... do you need help...no no... ah, Are you lost?” She stumbled her words trying to find the proper line for the situation but at the same time not wishing for Henry to take her question as an insult to his intellect. This resulted in a rather blunt choice of words. The armor clad woman then slowled her approach. She didnt seem to mind the sight of the unusal spirits around Henry.

Galla took several steps away from Lukkel as her skulls flew infront of him and tmade a rather loud chattering noise to keep him away. She once again waved them off as the overly friendly one turned his attention towards Kolm. “You know better than I that some people refuse to leave me in peace and will only calm down and stay away if i get out of my lab a bit more. So i decided to pick up one of the new ones to see if his composition has changed from being pulled here, but you are certainly welcome to take him off my hands if you wish...” she crossed her arms. She was standing about 12 feet from both Pang and Lukkel (and by association Kolm) at this point.

I think it would be best to specify. The nicer one is smaller and seems like a small scouting ship while the bigger one is comparitivly a behemoth of scrap metal and mining tools but its clear it is originally a battle cruiser. The battle cruiser is being loaded while the smaller one is left unattended

Tiki cocks her head, “ but why? That doesnt make sense everybody seems so nice” she smiles as she puts away her dragon stone. Lute stares at the book before she sighs and checks her bag, “how much?” She asked grumpily.

Rising Falls Shala sighed “but there is no...fun..in that...” her eyes fixated on what fell from the portal, she then turned to look at Aurion as if to ask what he thought of the situation. It was unusual, she had expected something...more. Shala, being somewhat cautious, drew her bow, waiting for Aurion to decide their course of action. Palace Valvet sighs, her usual path of action had been shut down by her prince, was she to just wait? “Of course milord, what do you see as our next plan of action then? If we are not to directly locate, arrest, and punish this.. so called council? It seems that it should be our immediatly action.” She remains kneeling, she wouldnt move till she was told otherwise. “A council without action is like a flock of sheep without a shepherd, easily taken care of.”

Finally getting back into Pokemon with Ultra Moon. Its been a while so lets hope i do well

I have a feeling Ceres doesnt/Cant dodge well in all her armor. Also she probably doesnt care much for it at all.

As Pang spoke Galla’s name the skulls directed their attention towards him. Wisps of smoke flowed from their mouths, Galla waved them off and they returned to their rotation. “What can I do for you Tiger?” She grumbled. She never felt comfortable around the Zouyu as she didnt exactly understand his structure or what he was made of. So it was difficult to determine how quickly he could be broken. He was the exception to her rule. A few steps were taken away from Pang before Galla herself turned to face him.

Solomond responded quickly. “Look I dunno what Greyhawks tastes in ship are like. He is a pirate, maybe one of them is stolen, maybe one was pawned off and he just liked it. I dont know. Ships come and go. Ill try to find a way in to meet up with you guys. I havent got much use otherwise.” He then went silent on his end of the link. The loaders began to draw closer to the boxes our heroes were using for cover. Completely unaware of the danger they may be in.

Galla seemed to looked down at the fresh form of flesh that passed through the doorway. Her eyes were cold and tired. Her body was scarred from damage and strain. She didnt look too strong but she let off a sort of frightful presence as if she didnt see a human, but a bag of flesh and bone. “Id be careful who you glare at here.” She says somewhat threateningly “It could be the last person you wver see. Now then you are in Haven... follow me. I have precious work to do and would like to get this little tour done with.” The skulls faced towards Kolm the entire time Galla spoke. She then turned and motioned him to follow. The wounds on her arms now revealed to him as she walked.

Ah ok. Ill wait and see if anything happens with Ceres before i go again

O-o? Who changed what now?

Galla sat in the hall holding one of her three skulls. The one of her master, “why must I have been pulled here? What did I do to get pulled from the comfort of your tower... your study.... your care?” The skull stared back lifelessly. She simply sighed “you are gone... just bone.. and magic... why am I talking to your skull like you live?” She let it go and it returned to its revolutions around her just like the other two. Shd looked at her arm feeling her tendons recover from her last casting of magic. “Why couldnt i have finished your grimoire... i only got through to the skull king. She sighs and stands up heading off to the 79th room for one of the newcomers Ceres was standingby the 142nd room mourning the loss of Isabel. A holy comrad in arms. She held her sheild close waiting for the gate to open. She remember her first time arriving in Haven. Plucked right out of a cart on her way to the winterlands of Windenheim. When she awoke on the floor of her room she lost her lunch almost immediatly but Isabel was waiting on the outside and lead her through, explaining everything that had happened. Without Isabel she would have been afraid and panicked. It was hard to hear she was gone but now she stood there, waiting to see who would take her place.

Lute growls “and that would be?” Tiki shakes her head. “I cant show all the time, only when its very important. But i use this” she holds up her dragon stone.

Im sorry if it sounds pushy but lets go guys come one. We seek progress.

Name: Galla Northcrest Age (optional) 26 Race (optional): Human 

Personality: very calm, often cold. Views death as a part of the cycle and corpses as matter and materials. It is what it is, not anything special. She fears larger folk as she knows they could crush her. She has a fear of being alone. But views her skulls as companions. She can be found speaking to them. She also suffers from Athrophobia and Claustrophobia. This does not apply to things that are already dead. Biography: born into poverty and war, Galla found herself begging on the street for coin as a child. While others fought and protected on the frontlines it was a losing battle. One day while begging a cloaked and hooded man stopped and looked down at her. “Are you comfortable where you are?” He asked as he felt her head. “No...sir..” “You are sick. Come with me. I will make you better” Galla immediatly accepted, what could be worse them being on the streets like this? She was taken to a carriage where she left the town she grew up in with the man. He gave her medicine and food, warm clothes and even tried to teach her to read. It was a strange form of writing but it stated to make sense soon. Eventually after a month of travel they arrived at a dark colored tower surrounded by tomb stones. She was led in by the hand and gently brought up the stairs. The man had made an offer to Galla. If she helped him and took care of him when he grew too feeble, then he would teach her everything he knew. She agreed and was pulled out of her horrid life on the street. She was taught herbology, magic, and even more life skills. However the magic she was taught was dark and tainted. It was death magic. But she didnt seem to mind. It was more than she could ever ask for. Soon she turned from caretaker to apprentice and her master turned ill soon after, urging her to push on and continue learning all she could from the tomes in his study. He didnt seem to want to get better as if he knew the end had come. Galla still tried to help him, eventually turning to the tomes for help but none of thr spells were made for healing. Eventually her master died. His last words being another set of urgings to continue in her studies. She agreed and as was tradition, raised her master as a flaming skull one capable of powerful poison miasma and limited fire magic. She decided to keep it around as she did with he others and continued through her masters books in his study. Raising zombies and skeletons, opening death portals and even using her own life force to raise the power of her magic. After flipping through several of her master’s notes she learned something. A secret left only to her. One that made her leave the tower. While on the road she ran into some trouble forcing her face to face with death. The very thing she became so aquainted with. 
Attributes: Life Burn: As Galla casts spells she slowly burns her life force at the cost of her spells being stronger. This life force can be regained over a long period of time (say 2-4 pages maybe more. So damage is increased at the cost of health) Magic Resistance+ 
Abilities: Death Magic++ Strength Down Defence Down Fire Magic *can only have 4 extra summons on the field at a time, the exception being her primary flaming Skull and The king of skeletons. Weapons: Dagger, Staff 
Signature Move: King of Skeletons Galla calls forth her necrotic powers and creates half of a giant skeleton. Its rib cage surrounding her. She and it cannot move but the skeleton itself and sacrifice its body to create minions for a limited amount of time, thr bigger the minion the more of its body it loses. If it is used aggressivly its physical strength is more then enough to match that of a giant. Afterwards Galla is left helpless. Galla can empower the beast by enveloping it in flame. coin: 900
