What's Happened So far...

DO NOT POST IN THIS TOPIC!

Here, I will post what has happened so far in our roleplay, so that new members will not have to read all of the previous posts in order to catch up with the story. I will post them based on what has happened each day.

Day 1

Our story starts out with Willow (innkeeper; shapeshifter) sitting in a tree. She climbs down because it's getting late and runs into Cyra (werewolf) who was watching from the trees.
Willow explains that they should seek shelter in her inn, and then runs inside; Cyra follows.
Once inside, they meet two other characters: Suika (oni) and Bartheyamus (vampire). Willow wonders briefly why there are so many guests so suddenly.
After a while, the group gets talking, and then two new guests stumble in: Rachel (human) and Seamus (human). Willow serves them drinks and then they go up to their respective rooms.

After the two leave, the rest of them keep talking and then another guest knocks at the door: Sayomi (half-angel) They pull her in, and calm her down; but her entrance is followed by yet another guest: Suwako (demi-god).

Now officially assembled, the group decides to hold watch that night. Bartheyamus volunteers because he doesn't sleep anyway (he's a vampire, duh). Then, he creates a force spell and Willow hangs it just above the front entrance. Suwako also pitches in and places a small jewel on the paper to enhance the spell's power.

Willow starts wiping down tables; she passes by the window and sees a pair of red eyes, that soon dissappear. Startled, she falls back, and gains the attention of the other guests.

Just to be safe now, Bartheyamus creates small watchdogs out of paper and sends them outside to scout, while Suwako sends out some of her frog minions to help out as well.

Wanting to understand more about each other and the inn, the group gathers and starts to discuss their weaknesses/strengths/abilities. (though nothing really important is said)

~In Blackthorn Hollow (the town), an enemy appears, and senses Bartheyamus' dogs who are scouting the area. Without a second thought, he kills them off~
Bartheyamus feels this, and goes to the Hollow to fight the enemy; everyone follow except Willow, who says behind to guard the inn.

The group (excluding Willow) then proceeds to Blackthorn Hollow and confronts their enemy, Valter (hollow). He tells them that they will all die soon, and then dissappears.

Day 2

On the second day, eveyone returns to the inn. Bartheyamus is still angry from the previous night, and it shows. Willow comes out acknowledge the group, but instead sits at the front desk and begins drawing pictures.

The group begins to talk about what happened the previous night with the hollow, and then decides to talk about their weaknesses once again, since nothing really got said the first time. Willow doesn't want to do this, and whines; Bartheyamus gets mad again.

Finally Willow explains that she can't really remember what happened in Blackthorn Hollow to make everyone dissappear; though they don't really believe her. Bartheyamus gets mad again. (even kicked a stool across the room, dangit)

Willow continues drawing; she then shows them a picture of a burning woman, saying that it's important. The others examine it, puzzled. Bartheyamus asks if there were any burnings in Ireland. Willow tells them that there weren't. Bartheyamus goes up into his room to meditate, obviously not please with Willow's answer.

The group goes on without him. Willow goes to her desk and checks the collection of newspapers that her mother once kept. She finally finds a newspaper with a heading that reads: Man Charged With Hanging Escapes; Kills Guards
The group is satisfied with this information, but are soon discouraged when they can't find the date on the paper.

To looks for more clues, the group goes back to Blackthorn Hollow (without Bartheyamus). Once there, they hear eerie singing and are confronted by Rumia (demon) who wants to kill them (duh).
Once seeing the girl's red eyes, Willow goes a little crazy and faints after attacking herself with a rock.

A new character comes: Roga (demon). He watches the soon-to-be-battle from a distance, but Rumia soon appears on top of the building beside him, asking to play.

Meanwhile, Willow wakes up (sort of) and turns into a black snake; then sets of to attack her own companions. She targets Cyra, who has to turn back into a human from her wolf form in order to defend herself. But after deciding that these foes are uninteresting, the not-so Willow turns on Rumia and begins to attack.

Rumia, by now, has stolen Suwako's abilities, and launches a horde of frogs on the snake, who easily avoids the attack. It bits all of the frogs and they turn into black mist. But Rumia uses the mist against the snake and makes it very dense. The snike gets out of the mist, and then turns into a small sparrow, who then turns back into Willow.

Eladriel (elf; elemental) then comes and decides to help the group. But Rumia dissappears, and so they all go back to the inn.
Roga, follows the group to the inn, hoping to thank them for their help.

Once back at the inn, Willow asks Eladriel what he is there for. He says that he is investigation the reason everyone dissappeared from Blackthorn Hollow. Bartheyamus greets Eladriel and they talk quietly while the others worry about Suwako, who was injured by Rumia.

Roga comes into the inn, and Willow gives him a room. Sayomi tries to help Suwako, but things end up getting worse. Roga goes to the graveyard to confront Rumia and ask for a cure. He end of giving up his body in return for a vial of holy water, and instead takes the body of an adder (which he replaces later with the dead body of another person) He returns and gives the cure to Suwako who drinks it and heals.

They get a new guest; Ruby (dragon/human). Willow gets her a room.

Then, a new guest: Finn (half-demon) comes into the inn and steals Willow's keys. Rachel confronts him and he returns them shamelessly. After getting her keys back, and putting them safely in her pocket, she falls asleep (it is getting late).

Finn talks briefly with Cyra, and finds out a little of what happened the previous day. He then spots some of the minion frogs trying to carry water up to Suwako's room, and helps them up the stairs. Once in Suwako's room, he finds her as she is getting ready to leave. When asked where she is going, Suwako says she is going to ask Rumia a few questions.

Finn is excited by the thought of adventure, so he goes with her into Blackthorn Forest and they confront Rumia. She tells Suwako that she has taken her powers and that she is pretty much useless now. Saddened, she returns to the inn with Finn, who isn't very helpful.

At the inn, the others ask Suwako what is wrong, but she doesn't want to tell them. She goes up to her room.

Finn then asks the group what has gone on. Willow decides to only tell him a little of what has actually happened.

Day 3:

Gabriella Wolflin & Damek Wolflin (bother; sister. demi-werewolves) arrive at the inn. Suwako greets them at the door, since she was practicing her water techniques outside, but to no avail.

Damek goes inside to get the both of them a room. Willow wakes up and goes down to the lobby to see what's going on; she gets them a room. She also gets a room for Lucas-Alexander and Eloise (brother; sister. Half-vamire half-angel)

Rachel comes downstairs; asks Willow if anything needs to be done. Willow tells her to start a fire since it's cold. They realize that there's no wood left. Suwako and Finn volunteer to go and chop a tree down for wood. They leave for the forest.
