The Eerie Downs was so called due to the perpetual mist that covered it. Filled with large flat areas of marshland it was a dangerouse and wild habitat and many in the Empire would not dare to venture forth into it's quiet shroud. That was where it had led her, and she had followed. Her dwelling was nothing more than a hut, cobbled together by some long gone occupant. Far from the grand halls of her former study. The comfort of a fresh straw filled matress. She huddled by the simple fire and listened to the screech of the wild creatures of the Down's.

"They will find you here" the voice crooned. "Soon it will be time, stay here and die or leave and take your rightfull place in the world. You know I can take you there." It tormented her oozing it's treacle thick promises over and over.

"Don't make me hit you to something hard again. Like a rock!" Naomi says grumpy.
"I followed you, and see where you led me, to a lonely hut with a grass matress in a bog. I don't want to be here anymore. I want to go somewhere fun!" She says annoyed.

She looks into the fire and think for a while in silence.

"Besides, all you have to do is say please."

[Talon Lord Othrim]

"We could go to Mordheim!" it's voice almost seemed excited for the first time in a long while. "what do you say my dear. The city is in turmoil, chaos on every corner. Yes, yes! We should go there. Please please" it's voice eager.

[CattyVixen]

"I don't know. What would I do there? Why would I go there?
Sure you just not trying to get free?" she asks, still irritated over that he led her straight into a marshland.

"But you asked nice, so I will listen to you this time." She says with a smile, suddenly really happy over that he said please!

[Talon Lord Othrim]

"You could always stay here if you would rather?," it teased. "Surly there is more mushrooms and fungus to eat."

[CattyVixen]

"If you're not nice I can burn you over the fire until you remember why you are where you are!" she teases back.

"Lead the way?"

[Talon Lord Othrim]

She can't help but gaze to the south west and her mind tugs, a sort of excited longing to go. That was the direction it wanted her to go. Gathering her things she began the crossing of the downs once again. But why had it brought her all the way out here to this miserable place for the past months only to now suggest a more suitable holding? The question played on her mind.

[spoiler=ooc]I would now like you to post an awareness roll. Title the spoiler Awarness and type /roll@1d100 but put a space instead of the @. I set difficulties at 25 easy, 50 normal, 75 hard. Your roll has to be above the difficulty I set but you won't know till I inform you if you pass or not, always think higher the better.[/spoiler]

In the gloom of the ever present mist she can make out movement. The shadowy form moves closer. Hunched and searching the ground a giant rat. She noticed that not only was this the largest rat she had ever seen but it actually walked upright using it's large ropelike tail for balance. It also wore rudimentary clothing. Realisation gripped her "SKAVEN"

[CattyVixen]

When Naomi sees the Skaven she smiles a dangerous smile.
*Oh, a plaything!* she thinks to herself.
Now she just had to make the disgusting lunch want to play with her...

"Are you looking for something?" She calls out with a voice equally playful and dangerous.
Naomi walks forth to stand a couple of meters from the Skaven.
"Can I help?" she says while tilting her head slightly with a teasing smile playing on her lips.

She wasn't stupid. She knew that the Skavens were really dangerous. She just wanted to know how the overgrown rat would react.
And in the case that it was stupid enough to react violently, she prepared to use her 'gifts'.

[Talon Lord Othrim]

Instantly it's black beady eyes were focused upon her. Quickly it looked about. Humans very rearly traveled alone and this, it sniffed, female surely could not be out here unguarded. But it was! it's lips curled with maliciouse intent exposing long chisel like front teeth stained with who knows what. It's small fured paws slid archaic metal from it's belt shieths. A short sword and dagger. It sniffed once more. She was deffinatly alone, good. With a shriek it leaped at her.

When the Skaven rushed at her, shrieking as it came, Naomi lost her concentration and could not muster the willpower she needed to control her powers. It pounced at her, landing hard and driving her to the ground. She screamed out in pain as the dagger pierced her shoulder, jutting out of her back, stabbing the ground beneath her.
Naomi's staff flew from her hand, and landed a couple of meters beside them. The Skaven hissed at her, using its body weight to keep her down. Naomi didn't know what was worse. That the Skaven sat on her, the unspeakable pain, or the horrible stench from the beast..

[spoiler=ooc]Just ask Iron, dice dont llike him either.[/spoiler]

From on top of her the ratkin's tongue licked the rancid saliva from its lips. Shifting its weight it aimed to drive the dagger in once more.

As the Skaven shifted its weight to stab her again, Naomi squirmed desperately, and managed to throw her attacker off. Rolling to the side, Naomi managed to get a hold on her staff again.

Moaning softly from the pain in the shoulder after her roll, she thought:
*This plaything in not very nice! Not very nice at all!*
Not wanting to have the rat-creature on top of her again, she mustered her willpower, willing the water in the ground and fog to gather together, and shoot out in a solid jet of water to shoot at the Skaven, hoping that it would give her some distance to the thing.

She forgot her lessons, in a moment of adrenalin she had put too much of herself into the conjuration. The spell erupted from her and the bolt of water slammed into the Skaven shreding fur, clothing and skin with it's pressure. It was knocked back nearly 20ft and landed hard. Still alive the creature tried to right it'self. Her legs felt weak. "A few more of those my dear and you won't have to worry about me anymore" the voice clearly enjoying her predicament.

[CattyVixen]

"Oh, shut up or I'll give you to a Giant as a toothpick!" She says as she's getting up to her feet again.
When she's certain that her legs can carry her, she walks towards the soaked Skaven.

She puts a hand to her wounded shoulder and look at the blood.
"You made me bleed... NOW BLEED FOR ME! Please?"

As Naomi shouts, she thrust forward her bloody hand, calling upon her powers again, but more careful this time. Now she aimed it at the Skaven, wanting to see blood!

Desperate and in pain the Ratkin whips out with its tail. It's blood begins to ooze from several areas of it's body, eyes, ears, mouth and nose. It thrashes on the ground manikly.

Do I have to roll 2 more times for the concentrating, or is it like sustained so I can do other magical stuff?
[/spoiler]

Satisfied that it bled for her, she noted that it had, as so many before it, underestimated her. She might not be tall, big or have the strength that they were use to hide from, but she had the power of will and the gift of magic.

[Talon Lord Othrim]

[spoiler=ooc] After the spell has worked, you can then work other magic, however as this is a sustained spell I'll 'assume' you are still consentrating on it's effects till the duraton ends or you tell me otherwise (end it sooner). There may be times that your target or someone else attacks you while you are doing so and I will test you to see if your consentration is broken or holds. That help?[/spoiler]

In a last desperate attempt to survive the Skaven lashes out with it's short sword.

Naomi was caught by surprise by the sudden desperate attack of the Skaven. But the animal was to wounded now, and she could easily step aside from the strike.

Naomi swept out with her staff. More out of disgust, than a killing attack.
