3rd Crystal: [Voice]

[The sound of Golbez clearing his throat is heard.]

Citizens of Luceti, if I might have your attention for a moment.

On Friday at approximately 1530 hours, the main town of Luceti was attacked by one of it's own inhabitants.  This demon, whom I am told goes by the name "Vocal", had no real motive behind his assault other than destruction and slaughter for it's own sake.

Naturally, opposition arose in the form of a man named Lute, who is an enemy of Vocal's from his own world.  Lute and the allies he managed to gather, including myself, halted his attack as quickly as we could, and I am pleased to say that Vocal has been neutralized as a threat, at least for the moment.

On behalf of the entire defense group, I, Golbez, extend my apologies for any inconvenience caused by the battle.  I assure you that we only fought in order to protect the village at large.

If you have any questions, I will take them now.

[OOC:  I still don't know who exactly was supposed to die from the battle, so Golbez's responses about any casualties will be delayed until the others let me know.

Update:  Rolo, Vocal, and Lute were the casualties.  Golbez won't mention this unless directly asked, though.]

And I managed to miss this?

I'm not entirely certain how.

I guess it took longer for me to get dressed then I thought.

...it's finally over?

I-is Lute alright?

[Voice]

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

... I'm sorry. Sir Lute was... slain in combat.

[OOC: Very, very sorry for the delay on this thread.]

((It's fine ^^))

So it took you and several others to stop one man? But since you got the job done, at least it sounds like we have a defense group we can rely on.

I honestly can't say whether all of us were needed. But in the interest of efficiency, one can't deny it helped. [We are ignoring your implications of us being weak, little girl.]

[peaceofthesoul.livejournal.com]

A tactical move. Could he have been so troublesome though? From what I heard, our powers are practically cut by half here.

The loud demon was stopped? Wonderful! I say we celebrate!

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

So, in place of a noisy demon, you'd like to have a noisy party? [He chuckles a little.]

I...heard shouting, but, I had no idea....

.....

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Not to worry, Cecil. Everything has been taken care of.

[aero-dienamic.livejournal.com]

You... helped them?

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

I apologize that you were pulled into a conflict so soon after arriving, Sir Golbez. Such incidents are usually rare among residents.

[voice]

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

No need. I participated in the battle of my own accord.

[alliance-marine.livejournal.com]

So you ended up killing him?

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

We attempted to take him alive, but it proved impossible.

[bigbluehat.livejournal.com]

This is not the first time such a thing has happened, Sir Golbez.

I did my best to ensure the damage to civilian areas was minimal at best. You all fought bravely.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Your assistance is appreciated. I haven't had much chance to check around, but I hope noncombatant casualties were kept to a minimum.

[ooc:VOCAL. ROLO. LUTE. Death toll, update plz]

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Thank you.]

[minaeclipse.livejournal.com]

...Is everyone but the demon alive?

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Regrettably, no. Sir Lute gave his own life in the battle, and a young man with brown hair and purple eyes was slain by the demon.
