Saturday Night

The powerful strike from leo upon the barbarian's head cracked the brute's skull well before he hit the ground and vanished into light like the others had


Mat had just ran over to where chris vanished at starring at the ground for any trace of him

Nothing...nothing but dirt and long dead grass.

Dev meanwhile was freaking out. "Is he dead? Will he respawn? When will this happen?"

Matt turned away, looking stoic despite the sorrow that weighed upon him, he had to focus on surviving right now. He scanned the ground for useful loot

"How can you loot at a time like this?!" Devi cried.

"Dev, I spent the las two years of my life watching friends die in combat." Matthew said appearing calm though he truthfully was tearing himself up inside, he should have helped chris, should have fought through the exhaustion and hit the big bastard with a fieball, she could have saved chris... but he fucked up. "I will mourn chris but this is not the time, we are in the open and we need to make sure we don't end up like that ourselves." he said as he continued looting

Dawn just bows her head solemnly as she looks at the dirt , shield dropping from her hand as she puts it on Dev's shoulder .

"What's the point?" She asked, the fight drained when she felt Dawn's hand on her shoulder.

Dawn's arms gently wrap around her "Devi ....who knows , he might come back" She says though the forced optimism can be hear din her tone.

"You don't know that!" She cried, voice cracking."what if he doesn't? "

Leo meanwhile was sort of staring at the spot where Chris had disappeared,  in denial that it had happened. He'll come back. Yeah. Chris is a survivor. He'll be back.

"Well...well then we mourn...and..and we remember him " She replies , voice shaking as she holds her close .

Chris struggles , trying to claw his way through the air back down , desperate , gasping with exertion as though he can still breath No! No! Slowly he manages to pull away from the dragging force and floats down towards Leo , and the werewolf feels a strange chill on his left cheek as Chris cups it in his spectral hand.

Leo raised his hand to his cheek where Chris was holding it, brows drawing together. Chris?

He smiles a bit , a small feeble bittersweet thing , well at least he can feel me right? He'll know I'm still here , that I didn't leave him , even if it's only this that'll be enough for him. An empty feeling tunnels it's way inside of him though as he ponders such a future for himself , only felt in spectral breaths and the faintest feeling of touch , Leo would know though...right? He would know that if a chill breeze were to blow upon his skin it would be Chris embracing him , that when a soft wind passes by his temple it would be his kiss.

Matt cannot face the other's right now, he is looting to distract himself

Then , oh so suddenly , while in the middle of his dramatic monologue Chris pops back to life in the tavern "HOLY SHIT I"M ALIVE!"

Leo searched the air for any sign of Chris, a fruitless endeavour that caused his heart to ache. The cool feeling against his cheek faded, and his hand lowered in dismay as he wondered if he had felt it at all, or had imagined it in his shock and grief.

matt has all the good loot "let's get back to the taven to take stock and get our bearings." He suggested he intended to distribute the loot fairly and take some time to mourn chris

Chris laughs joyously , dancing a bit around the middle of the bar floor , then a smirk slowly grows on his face , this is gonna be hilarious.

Leo nodded, still slightly in shock, and prepared to do just that. Meanwhile Dev had just forgotten how to function.

Dawn promptly picks Devi up and carries her to the inn.

Matt follows dawn toward the inn

Leo does too.

Chris hides in a broom closet .

Matt walks inside and went over to the inn keeper "We Took care of those bandits" he informed him

"Well if so ,then I suppose I should give you these spellbooks" He replies and hands them over too Matt.
