Peregrine silently strung his bow and knocked an arrow to the string.

Deimos looked back at the creature, his night vision in use, it stood stock still, a faint rasping sound coming from the center. Suddenly it advanced towards them. Deimos drew his sword 'Bring it on' One of the tentacle whipped through the air and smashed a large stone into dust. Deimos faltered 'Okay, screw this, run!'

Peregrine heard Deimos yelling behind him.
Oh great. He thought sarcastically. Wonderful, that's all I need.

(cbf changing accounts)
Khalida pushed Deimos further down the tunnel before turning around and shooting a ball of energy at the creature. She sent it flying backwards.... but that wasn't going to stop it. "Run", she said before picking up her feet and dragging Deimos behind her. "That'll buy us some time before we're out of the tunnels." She looked at him seriously. "If you have any tricks up your sleeves... now would be a good time to use them".

Deimos saw the creature get up, and stagger towards him. Deimos loaded a long bolt into his bow and took aim. He fired directly at the creatures chest. The bolt pierced through flesh and pinned the creature into the wall. The bolts hooks extended at both ends so the creature could not slide out easily. Deimos stood still and sniffed the air, a fresh breeze came from his right. 'This way' He whispered He saw a ladder and slowly climbed up, opened the manhole Deimos slowly stuck his head out and looked around. A tavern. He slowly got out and moved his crossbow around the room, looking for targets. The tavern was wrecked, tabled overturned, shattered glasses, and cobwebs everywhere. 'Clear' He whispered

Khalida jumped up threw the hole and was promtly shot in the back by an arrow. "Clear you say?" she muttered before turning around. It was one of the kings men... "You son of a.." She cut herself short as she jumped at him. She bit into his neck... over powering him. She let him drop to the floor dead and took up his bow. She walked out of the tavern. "Lets go".

Deimos stared at the body in confusion and turned to Khalida 'Maybe the Tyrant King is giving Las Plagas money?'

"I would doubt that he would trouble himself with a few deranged fanatics", Khalida said as she checked the street. She stopped still when she saw movement. "Umm... Deimos", she called out as she started to move backwards down the street. "We've got company..." Khalida spun around and ran for it. This was definatly not good.

Deimos ran after after her and looked behind him. Villagers, lots of them. He caught up to Khalida 'The church, lets head there, see if we can find out more'

Around at the campfire, the people had brought a young woman to the from of the fire. Her hands were tied behind her back and she seemed to be struggling. The chanting began. Peregrine struggled tosee the girl's face, but couldn't get a clear view. The girl was clearly screaming at the top of her lungs. One of the villagers moved and Peregrine at last saw her face. He drew in a sharp breathe. "It was his cousin Diana Alexander, only twelve years old. Now he heard what the villagers were chanting. It was, "Witch burn! Witch burn! Witch burn!" He felt as if he might fall out of his saddle. He drew back the string his bow and prepared to fire.

"Are you crazy.... we were just there", Khalida shouted as she ran. She thought about all other possiblities to lay low for awhile. "The old cemetry.... on the hill. Not even the Las Plagas would enter it.... rumours say it's haunted. We'll stay there until it's safe enough to go to the church again".

The arrow flew from his bow, and in one swift movement, Peregrine flipped his bow back over his shoulder and drew his sword, then he charged into the circle.

Immediately the people headed straight for him. They riased their axes and pitch forks and attempted to impale both horse and rider with them. With a yell of anger Peregrine shot a jet of flame at the ropes that bound his cousin. The people were enraged. Vollo reared up on his hind legs. When he cam back down to earth. His hooves collided fatally with two of them.

Khalida led the way but she skidded to a halt at the gate. Her jaw almost dropped open at the site... the graves... "They've been dug up", she gasped walking forward. "Who or what would do this?" She jumped into a grave and threw open the coffine. "It's empty".
