He turned toward the few remaining players. Many had died or been thrown off (and died) on the way. "I need you all to restrain it for an instant. Even healing or buff skills are fine as long as they stop it. Can you all do it?" Jack requested. They shared uneasy glances before finally nodding. Would this even accomplish anything? They weren't sure, but he had brought them this far. They'd believe. Centaurs X Players (27) vs. One Badass Ephial Madman &…-

"Cut the rope!!" Jack ordered. — Swish! — The Ephials following them instantly crashed down, Moon Moon spitting on them. The pale-faced Centaurs still couldn't believe they owed their survival to this small wolf! A second later, the wolf jumped on the Chief, ready to ride into the sunset as it snuggled next to its master. "T-that was something!" The Centaurs exclaimed, jittery from the height. Their race really wasn't made for climbing. In fact,…

The Centaurs quieted down, overwhelmed by how solemn he seemed. To them this was a miracle victory, but to him everything had gone according to plan, right?! "Leader, what now?" One asked, hopeful. "Now we brave the darkness, something only a fool or a madman would ever do. We need six Centaurs total. Whoever has a death wish, follow me!" Jack gave a self-derisive laugh. Error 404: inspiring speech not found! "SIX?!" Many exclaimed in shock as they stared at the…

"KILLLLL!!" The mighty shout was so powerful that it made the corrupted bluejays twitch so hard in surprise that they lost feathers. Then came the charge, piercing through the dark bluish feathery rain, the entire world seemingly moving aside, not daring to stand in their way! — Woosh! — The Centaurs were suddenly gone. They were so coordinated that they all seemingly blended into one magnificent arrow of death. A second later, they were reaching the…

Now came the core part of the plan… "WHAT?!" A fuming Centaur Chief bellowed. Considering the bomb-level news that Jack had just dropped on him, such a reaction was natural. First, there was the whole "orders" thing, and then the missing young Centaur. "He's stuck there?! Why the hell would you bring him there?!" Amidst the Centaur's rage, there was sorrow and despair. "Because he wanted to save you all." Jack calmly retorted. …

Sure, hiding was super easy, but it was even more so for the enemies! The Ephials' shadow-like bodies allowed them to blend in with the surroundings perfectly. One could be walking only to randomly collide with one, the result obvious. "How do we progress?" The Centaur asked at a loss. He had long gathered himself, his mind focused on the revenge Jack had promised him. Still, this lofty goal obviously wouldn't be any easy. "Oh, going there is a big no. More…

Jack"s party had just avoided a swarm of corrupted Blue Jay. "H-how did you spot them?!" The young Centaur asked, his voice shaking. Had it not been for Jack, they would have been devoured clean! "Watch the clouds. They"re camouflaging as ones. Except their speed is slightly different." He explained. "Anyway, let"s keep going." At this moment, they were spies in enemy territory. They could hear their hearts thumping as they progressed ever so carefully. "Woo!" (Suspicious cloud at front…

Jack didn't hesitate and went straight to the point. "Where are the adults? What happened to them?" The high number of kids was a simple observation, yet it changed everything. The entire Centaur's being suddenly turned sorrowful and solemn as he glanced at the human: this one really was different! Perhaps…he could even help them? "This place, this so-called "Village," used to be a simple outpost full of hunting tents. But it all changed when THEY attacked…." The…

As it grew stronger and stronger, so did the players' restless hearts. Some were already complaining, glancing at the steps they had just come from. "Enemies?! This is BS. Let me out!!" But, as there were pessimists, so were there optimists. "Brother, no need to panic. Perhaps it's a welcome party. After all, someone probably saw us and…." Some agreed, but others' faces turned into a mask of horror. They had been glancing at the sky when they saw it! Dark, long, spiky,…

The Elves' Griffin had left its ancestral home simply for the taste of her cookies. Was there a better achievement than that? Well, perhaps her managing to grab Jack's attention? Either way, the gluttonous bird didn't take long to craft itself a nest…in the exact same tree as the Fairy! The two could be heard bickering about living arrangements. "You birdbrain, this tree's mine! Find yourself a new one, humph!" She'd utter, only for the creature to refuse categorically. …
