Acting without thought, Piao Ling released soulfire from his legs, a shimmering white aura enveloping them as he twisted away from the grasping undead.
Retreating calmly, he took stock of the situation. While it appeared that the villagers were terrified of this woman and her dark arts, they had neither asked Piao Ling for assistance, nor did they seem willing to act themselves. Or perhaps they were simply unable to…
Regardless, in this way, Piao Ling saw no reason to intervene on their behalf. As an intruder onto the situation, he could understand why this necromancer attacked him, and bore her no ill will.
"It appears I am unwelcome here, so I shall take my leave," Piao Ling said. The soulfire fully enveloped his body, warding off the undead as he swiftly left the small village behind. Once safely away, the soulfire dissipated naturally.
Gazing up at Innistrad's moon, his wandering journey continued.
Recognizing the uselessness of persuasion, Luna decided to let the anger of the crowd be their demise. She'd done nothing wrong to cause such hasty accusations and threats. Harnessing a quick gust of wind that kicked up the surrounding dust, reducing everyone's visibility... She and her friendly werewolf ran through the crowd, accidentally bumping one of the members into another member... Then they all started blindly swinging. When the dust settled, the damage had been done and Luna and company were long gone.
Backing away, Timon began playing his harp and singing. He was singing about a sentient cat from his home plane who had befriended a member of the Steel League and protected them from a spirit who was wrongfully attacking the member. After the cat died, its ghost came back and began to stand guard over the local graveyard so that no other spirit would come back for the wrong reasons.
As Timon continued to to sing, the spirit advancing on him began to slow down. A few tears ran down its face as it got an expression of peace. By the time Timon had finished the ballad, it had vanished back into the moorland, placated perhaps by the magic or just the song itself.
It has been nearly 3 weeks since the last challenge, and I'd really like to move on with this, so I'm going to give @OhWyrm until Wednesday to get their entry in, at which point we will be moving on regardless of if they have given a submission.
I'm not one to rush people, but maybe a heads up would be nice if life is tough or something @OhWyrm. I'd hate for a contest to die due to life happening.
Ok, Wednesday has come and gone, and still no word from @OhWyrm, so we'll be continuing the competition without them. Expect the next challenge to be out in the next few days.
