Cabin in the Woods [Job/Ringo]

The sprite zoomed on ahead of Ringo, an advance party to the other side if you will. She release her aura so that it would be visible and serve as a guiding light for Ringo.

"Ringo hurry they are gaining on you!" cried the small sprite.

"What do you think im doing, taking a leisurely walk?" she sped up even more in an attempt to put more distance between her and the ghost, while the bear and the ghouls had already lagged far behind.

"Just a little bit more, im hovering where there bridge ends." shouted the sprite.

Those words were music to her ears, she doubled her speed. And true enough, she was on land again in no time. Sparing no time, she activated Deadly Nightshade then proceeded to kneel down to touch the ground. From the ground erupted various vines, all curled up but ready to pounce once a prey strays too close.

And just in time too for the ghost arrived shortly after. The vines sensing their presence, unfurled and snared the ghost.

"Who knew that would work, I guess this would work too."

Ringo stretched out her arm and her fingers turned to sharp tendrils once again. Piercing them between their eyes.

"Now we just have to wait for the rest to arrive so that we can.."

But before Ringo could even finish creatures appeared out of the water.

The member 'Ringo Noyamano' has done the following action : Dice Rolls

'Monster Dice' :

Ringo and Astral looked at each other.

"Im not even going to ask how that bear got in the water." Ringo told her familiar. As soon as the monsters were near, the vines snared them all and her sharp tendrils finished them off.

"Why didnt you use that trick before?" Astral asked her master.

"Well I didnt think it would work that way, so I figured running from them would be better." she snapped at her familiar.

The remaining undead arrived from the bridge and got snared by the vines. Using her tendrils, she finished them all with her tendrils. They were so busy cleaning up the monsters that they didnt notice the house not too far from them. It was Astral that noticed it first. "Her Ringo, look!"

The red haired mage exclaimed "Its the house! Finally!"

It was the cabin in the woods, the house where her acquaintance fled to escape what ever it was that was she was running from. Though something was strange, how did she even manage to escape the creatures that she herself had a trouble exterminating. She just shrugged her shoulders, worrying about it would be useless, she didn't do all the way there just to back out. With her familiar by her side, Ringo towards the house, not knowing the danger that awaited them inside.

It was a two storey cabin, log cabin. It had a veranda and a chimney as well. It was actually nice, well nice was an understatement. She touched the pillars that supported the roof of the porch. It was made from white hemlock, it was resistant from insects and fungi growth, not to mention fire resistant. It also gave off a pleasant smell akin to pine. Who ever made it sure picked a terrible spot to make a luxury vacation home.

Ringo clunked the creepy door knocker, talk about gothic crossed with demonic.

"Clarissa? Its me Ringo!"

She knocked on the door again only this time the door creaked and opened. The sprite was the first to enter the cabin. Following Astral's lead, she entered the house. What she found made her anxious, most of the stuff inside was in disarray. There were claw marks on the floor and some of the furniture, there were even drops of blood and bits of flesh. Fearing for her friends life Ringo called out to her again.

"Clarissa! Clarissa! Astral go to the second floor, maybe she is there."

The sprite whizzed up the stairs while she looked around the first floor. She was at the kitchen when she heard a loud roar followed by Astral's shriek. "Ringo, help me!!!"

She hurried up the stairs, she was very worried since normally Astral would just phase out to escape danger, something was preventing her from doing that and that meant she was in dire danger. When she reached the second floor, she was greeted by a horrendous sight. A ghoul had Astral cornered, green mist was coming out of its body preventing it from escaping.

"Dont worry, ill save you Astral!" she shouted.

Her voice must have caught the monsters attention for it turned around. When it did, Ringo could feel her heart sink. It was Clarissa, she was now turned into some kind of super ghoul.

"Ringo! Ringo! What the hell are you doing! Do something!" the sprite urged her master.

Her summon was right, she had to snap out of it and do what she must.  To save Astral and to free Clarissa from the curse she's in. She felt a throbbing pain in her chest. "No not now!" she cried out. It seems Clarissa's predicament had triggered something in her. A memory that she doesnt want to  forget. In deep and demonic voice she shrieked. "No one else is getting cursed, not if I can't  do anything about it."

Blood seeped out from her pores which quickly evaporated into the air, forming a red mist that shrouded her. Inside the mist, Ringo began to transform into a plant like creature with parts that resembled those of a rose. The ghoulified Clarissa charged into the mist ramming into the newly transformed Ringo, the mist was after all made from blood and ghouls loved the aroma.

The Clarissa landed on top of Ringo, and tried to take a bite out of her. Her gnarled teeth didnt even sink in, Ringo's tough demon skin proved to be too much for her as some of her teeth dropped off. Ringo who was still under the trance of a terrible memory lashed out at the ghoul who had her pinned. It sent Clarissa flying out the nearby window and crashing down on the front porch. The ghoul let out a blood curdling scream, it didnt sustain any injuries from the fall, but its pride got trampled on and it was really pissed.

Too bad for her Ringo was equally pissed, she was still relieving a horrific memory from her past and sees Clarissa as the demon who was responsible for her contacting the terrible curse she was under. A multitude of vines and tendrils erupted from her body, using them as appendages, she catapulted herself from the second floor all the way to the raging undead. Using her hard body, she tackled Clarissa. But the undead Clarissa proved that she was no push over. She grabbed Ringo by her vines and slammed her on the ground, yanking some of her tendrils free.

The two behemoths exchanged blows, they appeared to be equal in terms of strength. But in terms of defense Ringo, yes she had a tougher exterior, but she could still feel the pain while as the ghoul felt nothing at all.

"Just hit her in the head!" Astral shouted.

Astral's voice brought clarity back to Ringo's mind. Ringo let out her thorny vines again and this time concentrated her attacks to her spine and head. At first it seemed that her attack was not working, so she increased the number of vines and doubled the attack speed. It was like a lighting barrage.

"Ringo! Get out of the way!"

Ringo ceased her attacks and backed away as a huge boulder came down hard and fast on top of the ghoul.

"Its it safe now?" asked Astral.

Ringo looked at the oozing green stuff that came out from under the boulder and nooded.

"Sorry for your loss." said Astral.

Ringo was beginning to revert back to her human form, as she said.

"Death was a way out that I had been denied of. I guess its betters this way."

Ringo fell down on the ground exhausted, she looked at the sky, dawn was fast approaching. She doesnt know why, but she was happy. Yeah it may seem that her quest was a failure since she was not able to retrieve and evacuate Clarissa, but she was still happy that she managed to save her from a life of damnation. Of course she still have to find out how that happened to her, but that was for another time. Right now she just wanted to get out of there so she can catch some sleep.
