It was a cold, wet, and cloudy day as Rocksi began her way up the familiar hill in Trisfal, riding slowly on her trusted purple cloaked skeletal steed, the rain soaking her armor thoroughly. with a slight motion of her hand the undead horse stopped, she needed no reigns for it, it was controlled by her will alone, and thats just how she liked it. dismounting the beast, she sent it to hide in the near bushes as she herself used a grappling hook in her bag to shimmy up a nearby tree, hiding her form behind the thick foilage she gazed up at the building before her. the rain poured on, even now her hair was plastered to her small frame as she cursed slightly to herself and reaching up to her goggles presses a few buttons near the sides and continues to stare off into the distance, at the old scarlet monastery grounds. "Well ah be damned, zey are indeed showing lifesigns in dat old hellhole, so da rumors are true den, dah scahlets are back in business again!" Frowning now as she clicks off the heat vision option on her goggles she presses another button and the lenses shift and become telescopic vision instead
After a few moments of staring moving ever so slightly, she punched the tree trunk she was sitting in, cursing loudly "Fel and damnation, dere ain't any easy way to git in dere, dey got guards at every post now, dey definitely look tougher now too, a full on infiltration would be suicide at dis point. thinking to herself, her hand reaching to her chin she suddenly snapped her fingers and took from her belt a very small satchel hidden there against her right hip, carefully taking it out and covering it from the rain, she focused her attention on it, making the pouch quiver and shake, glowing slightly green it bursts open slightly and a full formed geist appears, the satchel covering most of its head, groaning and moaning it made its footing stable on the tree near the goblin, staring at her feet as it says in its gutteral voice "wwwwhat does missstress dessire...?"
Staring the creature down Rocksi says to it "Ah want ju to get me some surveillance photos of da keep up on dis hill, make sure your not seen, got it, Gervin?" the ghoul nodded and mumbled in its strange garbled tongue, holding out its hand as Rocksi attached a small bracelet to its wrist, an eye staring frozen in place, sits on the back of the geists hand, and then suddenly begins looking every which way, then stopping again. The geist stares at it, and adjusts its slightly before leaping off the branch and making its way silently to the monastery.
Rocksi sat there in the rain and cold, every so often take a drink from her hip flask, the rain didn't bother her any, she considered it a good cover for her deeds, this cold and this wet, anything living would catch their death in this she though, giggling silently to herself at the thought of those foolish humans dying to the weather. Suddenly she hears a hissing sound nearby her, and turns to see that Gervin had returned, after looking around to make sure he wasn't followed, he handed Rocksi back her bracelet and then stand guard making sure nothing gets to his precious Mistress. Rocksi then takes the bracelet, and using a rune from her sword, she extracts the sights that it saw into her own mind, frowning at all the new reinforcements, as well as a strange puzzlement to these strange new martial artists, she is about to give up when she blinks and then grins widely "Welp Gervin, we cahnt make our way into dat place alone sadly" *gervin whimpers slightly* "Bat misssstressss...dose hooomans....dey deserve our gift..." Rocksi gently patted the geists head, "I know dear, and dey will getz it, but first we needs more elp, maybe da grim can...but fur now, we have a good place to git some fun." Gervin hops around excited, "Hoooraaas, misssstresss will make Gervin more friiiiieeeennnnddssss" Giggling to herself Rocksi nods, "Yessir, we willz be getting youz some more friendz."
A graveyard, carefully tucked away from the rest of the complex, at first she thought it was the main graveyard, but then she realized they had a hidden one, near the ocean, built into the cliff itself, there was no need for a guard here, no one would ever know it even existed. Rocksi approached carefully, from the sea using her will and a frost rune to freeze the water, careful to keep a good eye on the cliff's top for anyone watching, they would be sure to send a large guard if they saw a death knight like her approaching their graveyard. Upon reaching the shore she whistled for Gervin to come up from the hiding place, climbing onto his back he made the slow climb up the rocky cliff face to the small cavern opening where the dead were stored.
Rocksi stood in the cave's entrance, using her goggle's organic scanning feature to see just what was buried here, then just staring mouth agape at what she saw, this was not just a graveyard, it was a graveyard where the scarlets buried the abominations they found in their keep, there was creatures of all shapes and sizes buried here. "Loooooook at dem misssstressss, all those sleeeeepy heads! wake them up Missstresss....waaaaake them uuuuuppppppp...." Gervin bounced around the cave leaping from tombstone to tombstone.
Rocksi giggled looking at that there was even a few of those vrykrul like creatures buried here, "ah course Gervin, just need ju to plant dese in the ground for me, and then dey will wake up." Rocksi held out a strange looking device, the top of it looked like a landmine, but it had a shaft sticking down, designed to sit in the ground, almost like a pin. The device was one of her own design, it contained a small energy replication crystal, which when activated, would spread her unholy resurrection spell much further then normal by "copying" it. Rocksi watched as Gervin planted the devices around the cave, then taking out her sword and using one of her unholy runes, she chanted and spread her unholy influence throughout the cave, giggling as the bodies rose for her to command, smiling to herself, she then collapsed her power to turn all the bodies into a fine powder, and carefully placed it into a large satchel which she placed into her bag, before leaving the cave the same way she came in.
Rocksi's visit to the Scarlet graveyard
Re: Rocksi's visit to the Scarlet graveyard
“So” A human voice in the common tongue said, dragging out the word, “You really thought you could break into OUR cemetery and desecrate OUR corpses without US knowing!?” The human spits out the last word with a decent wad of saliva following. “WE ARE THE SCARLET CRUSADE, WE KNOW EVERYTHING THERE IS ABOUT YOU FILTHY UNDEAD THINGS!” The humans spits again, staring down at his feet at something, “Well? What do you have to say for yourself…MAGGOT!?” He then raises his boot and triumphantly squashes the small maggot before him on the ground. Smiling to himself before turning around and near impaling himself on a very sharp bluish tinted sword being held by a goblin. The goblin is grinning ear to ear as she holds the sword up closer to the poor guard, he was stationed all alone by the beach where she had to come up on. “Wwwwhaa-…whatta wwwannttt?” he stammers shaking like a leaf before the goblin in front of him. Grinning even wider, she stares into his eyes and motions him to kneel before her, he begins to speak and she glares at him angrily and thrusts her hand down harder and faster than before obviously angered. “ppplease ddddonttt kkkk- “The guard is now sweating buckets and barely able to make words coherently, crying and praying to his Light. “Are dose really your last words….maggot?” the man’s face pales to ghost white immediately, realizing the irony of the situation he lays his head on the ground with his hands over his neck, rocking back and forth in a fetal position.
A few minutes have passed, and finally the man speaks again, “am I dead then? Iiii thought you were going to kill me goblin.” Rocksi places her sword against his neck and stops him from attempting to rise again, bringing in a new set of shudders on the poor human. “Nu, Not yet anyways, first ah want some information from yahs. What are dey doing with all dese new reinforcements? Ah thought most of the crusade was dead by now.” The man refuses to speak and Rocksi walks up to his head and kicks him square in the teeth “AH ASKED YE A QUESTION WORM, WHERE DID ALL DAH NEW RECRUITS COME FROM!?” Stomping her feet and forcing the man against a nearby tree, her sword against his neck a small trickle of blood coming from both his neck and his mouth as he spits out some blood and a few teeth. “There aren’t any “new” recruits here-“ Suddenly feeling pressure on his throat he closes his eyes thinking she’s killing him but then opens them and see that she’s holding him off the ground, slowly choking him. “Ah asked you a question, nice ahn eazy, why cahnt ya just answer et!?” Throwing the man against the tree hard, he panics once more “They’re not new, I swear it, paletress..she brought some of the dead back-“. His voice suddenly silenced by an arrow piercing through it, he is dropped immediately onto the ground as Rocksi fumes intensely, and you can hear her grip on her sword tightening as the leather hilt creaks gently. “Kai…if that was ju shooting down mah hostage, ahm gonna SKIN YOUR BLUE HIDE AND WEAR IT AS A CLOAK!” Turning around sword glowing faintly, with her eyes raging with fire, and her fist clenched in rage, she searched both high and low for any sign of the Troll hunter only to see her off in the distance. Focusing her goggle’s binoculars to pinpoint the troll woman, she notices that she’s already called her befriended netherdrake to her side and is quite nearly ready to fly away.
Growling to herself over the situation, she kicked her right foot forward and blinked confused as she heard a clank-like sound. She turned her goggles binoculars off, and stared at the source of the sound directly in front of her feet, it was a scarlet guard’s shield. Suddenly recoiling and searching around her, she sees the tree next to her has a body pinned to it with a number of arrows sticking out of it, making this poor guard seem like a pin cushion. Suddenly hearing a second and a third clanking sound, she investigates, only to find a total of 3 hidden soldiers, recently killed and pinned against trees with arrows. “Ah…didn’t know dere were dere at all…ah couldn’t have taken all four of dem on at once…” Just sitting there in shock for a few minutes she gets up, plucks an arrow from one of the bodies and examines it. “Well crafted, silent shot, point had a paralytic poison on it, well ah’ll be damned, dat crazy troll saved mah life-…ahn ah just shouted dat id turn ‘er into ah cloak…fel..” Rocksi drops the arrow, and whistles for her Ebon Gryphon petting her head gently, and then hopping on her saddle. She tells the creature to head north, to find and thank, a friend.
