Well, that was easy. He just sliced the head off the zombie... hopefully he could do that again!
But then he started to feel a little more fatigued than before. He used less magic than earlier, so it wasn't too hard to deal with.
"Phew! That was a close one... Anyways, I am not one to make decisions normally... So you guys wanna continue? I'll follow, but I just don't want to be left alone with those things..."
He sat down next to one of the dead skeletons. He picked up it's head and shivered a bit before talking to it.
Ivy stared at Hex for a moment, watching him talk to the disembered head before she chuckled and turned to Sera. "Its ok. And dont call me miss." Ivy gave the girl a hug. before turning to collect her arrows again. "Im heading down for sure. This is exciting!" Ivy smiled at the other two before she started in the direction the zombies had come from.

Serafynas eyes flicked between the two nervously. "u- uh w- wait for m- m- me miss Ivy!" she called, stumbling after the other girl and nearly tripping over a body in the process.
::The party rounds the corner to find a long corridor that leads further on with a slight downward slope. As they continue on they can hear the sounds of someone ahead in a room that goes off the side of the tunnel.::
"The Dead come to Dance, M'Lord. Ta loo, Ta lay
The Dead come to play, M'Lord. Hip hip, hurray!"
Silent as a shadow on padded feet...
Hex [M:40:1020:][D3v:http://rpgmenagerie.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=cs&thread=483&page=1#17914][b]"As the iron leaves fall, our attack will spring..."[/b]
Hex slowed down and tried to grab the two girls to stop them from continuing on the journey. He stopped and listened for a good thirty seconds, and then whispered to the two women.
"Keep quiet... And listen..."
Hex tried to convince the girls to stay quiet for a few moments so he could hear and concentrate on the chanting. He needed to think of a plan...
"Ivy... Notch an arrow and keep another one ready. Serafyna, stay behind her... I'll go in first..."
Hex manned up and took the lead, moving slowly and quietly closer to the eerie chanting. He stood ready to battle, trying to think of what to use just in case, but he always had Air magic at his disposal.
Serafyna [M:30:350:][D3v:http://rpgmenagerie.com/index.cgi?board=cs&action=display&thread=854]Im so sorry!
Ivy scowled. She hated being told what to do, and the fact he told her to follow? That made her mad. "I know what to do and how to do it." she snapped, "And so does Sera." She glowered at him as she picked up the pace. "I dont take orders from others." She would feel bad about snapping at Hex later, but right now she was mad. But she did get an arrow ready, it would be stupid not to, and she had been planning on it anyways. Sticking a few arrows in her mouth, she nocked an arrow and stalked past her two companions, walking at a rather brisk pace but staying alert.
Ivy raised her eyebrows, getting ready to fire an arrow in she needed to. Not waiting for either Hex or Sera, the latter whom she was determined to protect as much as she could, she hurried to the opened of the room. Unable to speak clearly with the arrows in her mouth, and not wanting Hex to beat her to the start of the fight, Ivy took a deep breath and stepped into the room.
Hex [M:40:1020:][D3v:http://rpgmenagerie.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=cs&thread=483&page=1#17914][b]"As the iron leaves fall, our attack will spring..."[/b]
"You don't have to speak for Sera... She can defend hers-- Goddess flarb it!"
Hex whispered that under his breath as Ivy rushed in front of him. She obviously was deaf, because rushing in when hearing that creepy voice singing... Why would she just totally rush in like that? It's obviously because she has this superiority complex... But in all honesty, she's just being hot headed and rushing in like some little kid who doesn't wanna take nap time.
"Just don't get hurt!" Hex tried to say, whispering as loud as he could without trying to upset the silence. Hex readied his magic, and although the girl was short-tempered, he had some respect for her... Except for the fact that she was going to get herself killed. So, Hex made sure to attune himself to the air around him just in case that he needed to use to to protect Sera or Ivy.
"I'll make sure nothing hurts you, Sera," Hex said to her, smiling, making sure she was in a safe position from his magic.
Serafyna [M:30:350:][D3v:http://rpgmenagerie.com/index.cgi?board=cs&action=display&thread=854]Im so sorry!
A light flush tinged Serafynas cheeks. "O- oh t- th- thankyou s- sir..." she mumbled with a small shy smile. She glanced at the door, hesitated then quickly followed after Ivy. 'Pleasedontlettherebeblood Pleasedontlettherebeblood' she repeated like a mantra in her head, ears lying back and tail tucked between her legs.
::They entered into a dirty forgotten room that appeard to be decorated for a party.
Borken crates were set up to make a table of sorts and bodies were set about it in various states of decay, complete with little party hats.
A ridiculous looking cake set on the table before a space that was occupied by nothing more than a skull with some bits of hair still attached...
Dancing about the room, fixing decorations that had gone askew was what at first appeared to be another zombie, he was so thin and dirty. But the humming and singing coming from him clearly marked him as one of the living...::
"The Dead come to play, M'lord..."
::He spins in his dancing and sees the group enter...::
"Why you are not my children. Have you come for the party?"
Ivy had stopped scowling, but started again when she heard Hex's comment to Sera. Did he think she couldnt take care of her best friend? Her scowl turned into a suspicious, narrowed eyed glance as she looked at the man. "No. Are your childern the dead people?" She was about to tell him the dead people would no longer walk, dead or alive, but she stopped herself. She wanted to hear what this man had to say first.
Hex [M:40:1020:][D3v:http://rpgmenagerie.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=cs&thread=483&page=1#17914][b]"As the iron leaves fall, our attack will spring..."[/b]
Hex caught up to Ivy by walking at a fast pace, and seeing that she hadn't gotten herself killed or a kill, he was glad. He looked into the room and saw this thin, very demented man.
"Woah! Are you okay?! You look as bad as the zombies we just killed..."
In reality, Hex didn't hear what Ivy said to the man, but he didn't ignore her. He nudged her and whispered in her ear.
"I didn't mean it like that. I was just also keeping watch over her as you were."
Serafyna [M:30:350:][D3v:http://rpgmenagerie.com/index.cgi?board=cs&action=display&thread=854]Im so sorry!
Serafynas eyes widened and a hand flew up to her mouth. Oh dear! She tried to calm the likely disastorous situation Hex had just spawned. "W- w- well t- they t- tried t- to e- eat u- us a- a- a- and oh thats a l- lovely cake I- I- I'd love t- to g- g- get the recipe!" she squeeked, waving her hands in front of her slightly erratically and a faint bit of pink touching her cheeks. "W- who's t- the p- p- party f- f- f- for?" she eyed the skull and had a sneaking suspicion it was for.. him?
