As Blade cuts down the zombie in front of him, Alia's words reach his ear and for a moment, he freezes. Recalling the last woman he had sworn himself to, a whirlwind of emotions, memories and energy hit him. Everything that made him who he was, what he was now.....because of love? Blade's body shuddered, partially out of fear and surprise, but most from regret, and shame.

Blade forced himself to look over to the woman who had just put her heart out to him.....he hadn't known her that long....well, all things considered, he knew her longer than most people left in his life. Still, with a even heavier tone and weight to his words than usually, Blade asked, ".....why?"

Alfred, mid swing, let’s out a roar of laughter. “If we set up a weed bar for your wedding, I bet it’ll be a huge ‘hit’!”

“A couple that blazes together stays together!”

As Belial waits for her turn, she just looks at Blade, who reacted to Alia's marriage proposal like she just kicked his dog or something. What does she see in him? Out of all of the people she could've given herself to, she chooses the weirdo who hangs out with zombies.

Camilla falls to the floor, laughing at hearing Blade's real name. She's having a hard time breathing.

Alia smiles. "Because. You're brave, and strong, and all those things, but I'm pretty sure I've seen something else. And I want to see more. And I want you to see more of me than just the quiet girl with glowing eyes. Plus..." A sparkle of humor comes into her eyes. "Like I said, it's a family tradition. We survive this, and I'll tell you how my parents got engaged."

“Awkward...” The space cadet’s fighting posture would relax. Though, it wouldn’t take long for her to snort along to Alfred’s quips. “Cheers to that!” Spacey would pull a joint from behind her ear and cheers it up in his direction before she lights it. Then she’d look from Blade to Alia, “I’d hit that.” She takes a haul, nodding in approval.

Blade stared at Alia's glowing eyes, and in a purposeful movement, took off his helmet, taking a knee. He takes her hand and brings it close to his face, speaking with conviction, "You who have opened your heart to me. You who have shown this unworthy soul love and compassion. You, Alia Daltos, have gazed upon this one,........Jeffrey Dawnlight, and asked for his hand. And he, in return, grants it, swearing that as long as he lives, he shall protect you. As long as he breathes, you shall never be alone. As long as my spirit lives....I will love you." Blade then kisses her knuckle, but in a fluid motion, stands up and gives her a kiss on her lips. It isn't a long one though, and quickly, he re-dons his helmet and brings up his sword, stating, "Can we get back to the battle at hand now."

Camilla gets up and takes off her glasses, wiping her eyes with a rag. "Whew!" she exhales, putting her glasses back on. "Wow, that was a good laug- OH **** IT'S FISTBOR--" she shouts and points towards the stairs leading down further below where a small dog with a fist for a face and a burning molten collar is in a mid air launch of an attack.

Jeff make a DC50 DEX save, please.

Fauna claps excitedly to the acceptance before yelping as The Fistiborkus appears. 

Blade's DeX save: 15

ON THE WAY TO WINTERHAVEN
PART ONE - KOBOLD BRIGANDS

Camilla, mostly relived you all didn't murder her, was pleasant and became very interested in everyone, as if long ago, she was once too, part of an adventuring company. The wind was cool and comfortable. As you traveled, you all got to know each other a little bit better. The road beneath your feet was level. An occasional ancient cobblestone peeked through the dirt road, indicating decades of neglect. You soon noticed footprints leading up and down the road, many of which were made by small, clawed feet. Suddenly, as if confident to attack you without surprise, small creatures hiding behind the rocks sprung into view and began to move toward you. With a shriek, the small humanoids rushed to attack! Scaled and rust-colored, they have reptilian heads and tails. Camilla groans loudly, as if recognizing something.

"Kobolds? Again?" she whines, as if the beginning of a similar adventure had begun the same way.

Fauna nods happily and attempts to swat Zombie 3 with her great axe, adding an extra kick just in case.

“I don’t even know what’s going on anymore.”

Alfred just stands there, dumbfounded, when Fistborkus appears. “What the blazes?!  Oh well, I must be see’n things again....”

He then proceeds to take a swipe at Zombie8:

Attack: 14 Damage: 6

The zombies are all slain. At the end of AREA 5 is a stairway down.

Belial gives the newlyweds a moment to make out before pointing down the stairs.
