    Using discarded spears, banners, and whatever else he can find, Marcus does what he's best at... he gets to work. While the others examine Katrin and Harvey, the metalflesh assembles three litters to carry the bodies of the dead and injured back to Tickle's Hollow. Glancing up at the even paler than usual face of the Winter Queen, Marcus feels a stab of regret as he reflects on how fragile and imperfect even the strongest among them always turn out to be.

    As Rick carefully examines Katrin cold, lifeless body, he notices minute wisps of pink vapor escaping from her mouth and nose as irregular intervals. Rather than being expelled from any sort of respiration, it simply appears to be escaping from her lungs every time she is moved or jostled. Both the Autumn King and the Umbral Courtier might remember seeing hobgoblins deep within the Hedge that spewed similar clouds of poison at their victims. It killed quickly as it filled the unfortunate victims' lungs and clung to its skin.

    Jack finishes his tribute in flesh to Xerxia before calmly walking over to the knot which had formed around Katrin and Harvey. Jack takes a good, long look at them both, being very careful not to actually touch either of them. Engrossed in his examination, the good doctor doesn't even look up as he relates what he finds to the others.

    "Yup, she's dead all right. Been gone maybe an hour, or so."

    Standing up, Jack looks the Sun Banisher in the eyes as he speaks in a gentler tone.

    "Harvey, you need to put her down now. Her skin is impregnated with some sort of corrosive toxin. It's hurting you. Look at your arms."

    However, the ogre doesn't seem to pay any attention to the wizened, and continues to hold onto the corpse of his former queen.

    "It's organic, but I don't think it's a hedge fruit. I've seen something like this once before. There are some hobgoblins that spit clouds of airborne toxins like that mist seeping from her mouth and nose. Nasty stuff, it coats the skin. But if fills the lungs too, so if someone breathes it in they'll suffocate...that's probably how she died." At least it meant she probably hadn't been struck down by betrayal.

    Then he raises his eyes to fix his gaze on the ogre, "Harvey, he's right. You can bear her litter, but Monarchs live to serve and protect their Freehold and their Court. She wouldn't want you putting your life at risk because you refuse to let go of her corpse."

    Al-Adin steps up to join Nightfall. Nightfall will take care of him, Nightfall will get him home. And soon they can go home.
    He looks on as they fuss over Katrin's body. And he feels sad. She wasn't nice, but she did good stuff, and she took care of lots of people. It was sad to see her go.

    Sam nods at Rick's assessment. "Aye, Rick is right on both counts. Harvey, come off her now, an' live ta take yer revenge with the rest of us." Sam gives Harvey the words that sustain the Doomsayer also: "Die ye not in vain." Barkley nods at Marcus. "Who else will bear our fallen from the field?" he asks, looking for volunteers from the survivors. There's a tension evident in his voice, and in his spirit. It must have been at least twenty minutes since he'd murdered anything.

    Seeing one else step up, Al-Adin goes towards Sam. He doesn't say anything, though now sam can hear his mumbling.

    Go home. Go home. Go home.

    Description

    Terri's Mask is that of a petite, cute woman with vibrant red hair that has black streaks throughout. Obviously athletic, her natural demeanour is friendly and she always tends to have a smile on her face.

    Her fae mien is akin to a red squirrel. She has a long bushy tail and ear tufts that poke through her hair. The black streaks are actually black feathers the are a part of her mien now,; a part of her noble order.

    Terri's powerful Mantle initiates itself as the smell of baking bread but brings with it the feeling of the Harvest, that time to take stock of the coming troubles.

    Marcus returns Sam's nod as he walks over to Xerxia's remains. Outwardly solemn as he lifts the dead weight of her body, inwardly, the metalflesh feels a sharp stab of sorrow pierce his otherwise battle-hardened(and numbed) emotions. Xerixa had been a good friend. He had liked the roguish elf. She was brave, and smart... and perhaps a bit too Spring-ish sometimes... but he would miss her, all the same. After gently lowering her onto the litter, Marcus stoically plods back toward Tickle's Hollow.

    Regardless of what words are spoken to him, Harvey doesn't pay any heed to the others. It is almost as if they exist as mere shadows in his world of sorrow and grief. As the Sun Banisher clutches Katrin's corpse even tighter to his chest, some of the skin on his arms tears away, exposing the raw flesh beneath.
