"What? Got tired of brooding around?"
She pulls out one of her massive pistols and fires off a rail spike sized round. A joker corpse was beginning to bloat up and the rest started to run off while the still dead body started to laugh.
"Good god that's creepy.."

[b]The Berserker phased through it, forming in front of Ama. Hamilton swung downwards with his hammer, and the dark Knight crumpled down to his knees. His body slowly faded from view, along with the Vikings and card corpses. Suddenly, they exploded into small white lights, drifting upwards into the sky. [/b] [b][i][u]Chapter Four: A Night To Remember[/u][/i][/b] [b]Hamilton took a sigh of relief as a head count occurred. [/b] "It would seem as though 20 cards were eliminated. We must reclaim their souls."

"Once we figure out how to break the magic barrier we could probably get Ash to take care of that. If anyone's going to be able to get someone back from wherever they go I'd probably place my bets on her"
-
"Of course... For now we must continue on our path."
-
"Yeah, let's make sure not to get jumped again. Keep your eyes out. If you see something, even if it's just mildly out of place, give us a heads up" A few knights grunted while the aces agreed.
-
[b]And so, the group continued through the city streets, winding up in a large Plaza earning looks from what seemed to be a guard [/b] https://imgur.com/cZcVqHb [b]The Knights were all around the plaza, but weren't doing anything hostile at the moment. Hamilton pointed towards a large towers deeper in the city [/b] "That's where we're headed."
-
"Huh, so it's not just all dark roads. Still, keep your eyes out." "[u]those knights, who are they for?[/u]"
-
"[b]Hamilton looked around the plaza, eyeing the Knights [/b] "The wandering souls of what once made up this city's guard I'm assuming."
-
"Huh, doubt were going through peacefully. I mean we could try but don't be surprised when sh_t hits the fan"
-
"I do not believe these Knights are with Kross. If they were, they surely would have attacked by now..." >Move through the plaza peacefully >Move through the plaza using force
-
"We'll try to see if they won't bother us but just be ready to take them out if they get out of hand"
-
"Agreed." https://imgur.com/1lYIyjW [b]Hamilton went through the plaza to the other side, entering what appeared to be a two way street [/b]
-
"Well so far so good." She says keeping an eye on her surroundings as she walks through. "At least the place looks like it was nice before all this."
-
"Yeah... At least." [b]The rest of the journey was simple, no one Tried anything on the ground and some civilians were even seen, or at least lost civilians. https://imgur.com/ZqnAaDM They reached a large archway that led into the inner city, but Hamilton stopped in front of it, looking In[/b] "It's not safe."
-
"Hmm? What up?" Her eyepatch begins scanning, trying to see what was going on.
-
"It does not feel right. Having such a simple path to what could be Kross..."
-
"I figured, that's why I had Chesh run around and keep an eye out. He may be annoying but at least he's good at staying out of sight even if he can't teleport around in here."
-
"Where is Miss Ash? Perhaps she can determine if there is anything here."
-
"Shes been sitting back trying to make that marble of hers work, whatever that means." Ash was in fact within the crowd of cards looking at the black marble of hers knowing it was of little use in this place.
-
"Is she... Lost in thought? '
-
"Shes been like that for a while, I guess she can see her ghosts and whatever but can't. I can go check on her but I'm not too good with all this magic and sorcery stuff"
-
"Hmm... Perhaps you should try speaking with her. I'll go with you if you need."
-
"Hmm" Amari walks over to Ash "Hey snap out of it for a sec" "[u]huh? Oh sorry[/u]" "What's with you? You've been acting all spacey since the operation." "[u]sorry, there's just so many souls that need help. It's a bit hazy wandering throughout this place.[/u]" "Huh, well I guess I can see that. Don't worry we can give this place a second comb over to save souls or whatever it is you do" "[u]thank you... but please, focus on what needs to be done first[/u]" Amari nods and checks to see if any progress was being made on what could have Hamilton spooked. "Anything we wouldn't be able to see Ash?"
-
"Yeah. Do you see anything? The air feels off for myself."
-
"Hmm" Ash looks about with her unusual eyes suited for seeing paranormal activity.
-
[b]Indeed, there was something. A soild watched the group from a rooftop some ways down. Before she could tell anyone however, a singular arrow fizzed through the air and found itself Buried into Ash's stomach. Hamilton turned almost immediately, getting her behind cover as a second arrow found itself buried in the chest of a card [/b]
