At the top of another tree, the girl watched the knights from a distance. The one they called "Koutetsu" was an interesting fellow. If ever the voices left her head, perhaps he might be the first one to help her. She'd have to remember him. At any rate, it was time she had some more traditional nutrition. She casually stabbed and ate into a nearby chromalisk while watching the departing knights.

Well, since I have nothing better to do, maybe I'll follow them. Knights are always doing something interesting.

((Thin and I thought of some way to keep the Finder's feeding more consistant, that being to give suits helpful regenerative effects, in that they have increased blood regeneration rate, about 1 pint for every 4 hours. Any thoughts on this idea?))

((Not sure if Lann and Koutetsu have caught up with us yet ))

"Ok, I don't want to get a Wolver angry."

Leo kept on hand on his sword and decided to avoid unneccisarly loud twigs or leaves.

During their time walking, Koutetsu took the free time he had to hook the vitapod he was given up to his armor. The vitapod was a bit damaged, but it would function fine. Koutetsu, in his rush out of Haven, didn't have time to grab much, including a decent set of armor, weaponry, or medical supplies, including a vitapod. Vitapods had some great regenerative properties, which would no doubt help in their case where they were being seemingly hunted by a vampire.

((Using this post as a mini-bump and a possible lore suggestion on vitapods. Any thoughts?))

This is my character app, so yeah.

Bio/history: The Dicemaker was the son of a renowned scientist studying the effects of dice made with a metal that changed fate.However, as The Dicemaker’s father soon found out, the dice could impact almost every aspect of a living creature. The Dicemaker accidentally rolled an experimental dice that could save Earth from pollution if you rolled right, but The Dicemaker accidentally rolled badly and kick-started the end of the Earth. His father managed to get Dicemaker into a shuttle before it was too late. His father died, but not before he gave Dicemaker all of the dice he had ever made as well as two experimental dice launchers. One of the dice his father accidentally rolled and linked The Dicemaker’s personality to it.
Now lets get rolling! (Couldn’t help it)

If anything is Op, I can change it

Leo stuttered to a halt and rolled his eyes.

"Is this a best or something?"

Hearing some running, Leo looked back and saw Lann approaching.

"Hey! Over here. Watch your step."

(@Sawhero Is my character ok?)

Koutetsu slowly followed Lann, making sure not to touch a twig. Certainly a sticky situation they were in. Maybe the wolvers should have branched out their nesting grounds. As he neared the elevator, he removed his bandages, as the wound had almost fully healed because of the helpful health capsule and vitapod. "Next stop, Moorcroft." Lann had said. Koutetsu punnily enough replied, "I hope this place is moor hospitable!"

All the characters hear a large FABOOSH noise from behind and feel the heat of an explosion from behind. Choose how your characters react.

The shockwave from the explosion not only knocked Armori off of his feet, but destroyed the nest and scattered the wolvers, who ran away in a blind panic.

Turning behind him he says aloud,

"What was that?"

Given the crap that had went down all night so far, Armori was tentative to check it out, but the documentarian in him needed to be assauged, but also accompanied. Armori turned to Leo and said,

"Want to go check it out?"

Not only had Armori triggered the wolvers to become hostile, but an explosion went off as well. "Want to go check it out?". He asked. Koutetsu rested his hand on the hilt of the katana in his sheathe. "I'll stay here and guard the elevator if you want to find out what just happened.". He said.

"Nah, jellies don't do forests or near forests, originally this is where shadow creatures did their hunting," Armori replied to Leo.

The explosion sounded like it came from the clearing behind them, and Armori set off, though Koutetsu was apparently staying to guard the elevator. He threw a bayonet, striking a wayward wolver through the skull, then drew it back out, making sure to have a bloody blade.

"Maybe they'll be scared when they see it," he said in a half attempt at joking with Leo.

He walked into the clearing, looking around, and it didn't take him long to find it.

"In the pond, some kind of pod, must've splashed all the water out too," he told Leo, and ran over to the pond, his inner documentarian giddy with anticipation.

"Leo you're lagging behind," Armori complained.

He had already reached the water's edge, and was staring down at a burnt, but previously black and white pod. Throwing caution to the wind, he stepped down and scrutinized the pod physically, rubbing his hands along the exterior. A button depressed somehow, and the door opened with a hissing noise, and a lot of smoke coming out of it.

Inside, there was a white-haired boy in a lab coat. For some unfathomable reason, he was surrounded by dice.

"Who are you?" Armori asked, trying to keep any apprehension out of his voice. Then, he saw the slow breathing, and that the boy's eyes were closed.

"Oh, he's unconscious," Armori said to Leo.

A chilling, haunting howl echoed through the forest. It could be just wolvers, or it could be...*that* thing.

Orange. Such a disgusting colour. Armori had such distaste for the colour that he almost turned back right then and there. But there was the matter of why his hair turned orange in the first place. Leo had touched one of the dice, and that's when it happened. So rolling the dice changed his hair? Why was that even a thing?

"Let me try," Armori muttered. Grabbing a die, and scrutinizing it to the extreme, he could only see that it was a normal die. Shaking his hand, he rolled it into his other hand ((Online dice roller, go. How bout that? I got a 6)) and got a 6. Looking back at 'Pod Boy', as Armori had started calling him, he said,

"Please change your hair back."

"What was that? Are the Wolvers back?"

Leo didn't even know why or how this dude's hair was changing colors, but they should get moving.

"Alright, let's quit fooling around, let's get this kid outta here."

He reached in again, this time trying carry the kid out of the pod.

"The dice... the dice" Dicemaker starts mumbling quietly. "I need the dice..."

((But seriously, how do you stop dice from moving around? And Colray, I think you meant Armori instead of Armerio dwl. I almost type Armerio or Ares almost all the time myself))

"How do YOU stop a bunch of dice from moving? HMMM?" Came Armori's obnoxious reply. He pulled some old Wolver skin out of his pack and laboriously gathered every die in it.

"This is a shit ton of dice. Why does he even have this many? At least his hair's pink now," Armori mused. By the time Leo had lifted Pod Boy up properly, Armori was tying the skin around the dice VERY tightly. Air wouldn't be able to move in there, let alone the dice.

"I'd offer you help carrying the kid, but it might move his dice around," Armori sneered at Leo, cracking himself up. Then he said,
"But seriously it might. So I hope he isn't heavy."

((Last post before I leave for now))

Wolvers are notorious hunters, but Armori knew better. They were scavengers, they would eat a dead Jelly Mini before eating a wounded, but awake, Chromalisk.

The wolvers scared away by the explosion picked up the scent of the unconscious kid and went haywire. Not caring about previous events, 20 wolvers quickly blocked Leo and Armori's path.

"So, does it still matter if I change his hair or not?" Armori asked, drawing three bayonets. Then he yelled,
"Koutetsu! Wolvers!"

Leo staggered a little, trying to balance the kid on his shoulder and draw the blade from its sheath.

"Scrap it,"

He knelt down and lay the kid on the ground, propped up on a convenient rock. Free from a burden, Leo drew his sword and moved to fight a Wolver. One noticed the new enemy, and snarled then leapt.

Leo ducked the leap, and slashed upwards at the Wolver passing overhead. When it landed behind him, it had a nasty cut in its hide. It growled, and turned to the unconscious kid. Leo ran forward and tackled the Wolver, driving his sword into its hide and keeping it from harming the kid.

He stood up from the dead Wolver and stood defensively over the kid.

Metal met flesh and blood as Koutetsu ran his blade through the body of the wolver. Koutetsu looked back at Leo quickly, seeing him near someone he hadn't seen before. The distraction he made for himself gave a nearby wolver time to make his own arm a bone as it leaped and bit onto his arm. He let out a shout of pain before slashing the beast off with his katana. He turned to meet another wolver and quickly threw an overhead swing upon it.

Koutetsu, wanting to get on the same side as the others, dashed through the wall of wolvers and made sure to not be hit by Armori's bayonets, and he stopped himself right next to the downed child. He took an offensive stance with his sword and asked Leo, "Who's this?"

(Editted to make a little more sense. Should still work after being ninja'd)

At least, there *was* one wounded wolver. In its place was a smattering of blood.

"This kid? I have no idea, he likes dice though, they change his hair." Leo replied, before a wolver came flying at Leo, tackling him. Leo quickly dealt with the affair and stood back up. Koutetsu was mainly a man of fighting, and liked to keep track of how many enemies there were and where they were. He did a quick count, and thought that there should have been 10 wolvers and 2 alpha's, with one wolver wounded, but he noticed that one was missing just as Armori yelled and cursed about it being gone. Backing up a little from the approaching attackers, he took a second to find the missing wolver. He saw the splatter of blood on the ground where the injured beast *should* have been.

After scoffing in disgust at the sight and watching Armori send an alpha running, he took a defensive pose as he saw Armori throw icy bayonets at the beasts.

((Yup, you were the one who summoned the Wolver's, you're free to control them, at least other than the gm.))

Leo darted forward and sunk his sword into a Wolver, with the sudden attack, the Wolver didn't have any time to react, and crumpled to the ground. Leo withdrew his sword and went into a defensive stance, watching the truly of Armori's bayonet barrage.

((7 regular Wolver's, one alpha.))

An alpha started to rush Koutetsu. He responded to the situation by running over to it, jumping, and slamming his blade down through the wolver into the ground, in a somewhat impressive fashion. Seeing only two wolver left, Koutetsu walked up to the unfrozen indecisive one and kicked it, sending the little runt scampering in fear. The fight was done, save the frozen wolver. Not only was Koutetsu happy to have a battle go well for him for once, he could use the fallen wolvers for food and skin, making Koutetsu satisfied. "What should we do with this frozen one?". He inquired, looking at it.
