neb KatanaheartThe duo escapes to the far side of the thunderpath. The monsters don't chase after them now that they are on the light gray stone path. Inside the twoleg nest in front of them is a black cat statue, sitting on the edge of what kittypets call a "window."

"Looks like we're going to have to go in there," Larkwing meowed, her body still ached from the bruises, but she couldn't worry about pain right now.

Brindlemask steps onto one of the hot coals. She bit back a screech. It hurt so much. She step by step, continues farther across the coals.

"Seems so." She sighed. "Well lets get going." The shecat began walking towards the nest, looking for an entrance to the Starclan-forsaken place.

Ilex gritted her teeth, and almost placed her paw on the coals, but felt the smoke, and flinched, "You don't have to do that!" She screeched out, wincing in pain as she watched the cat.

Brindlemask steps onto one of the hot coals. She bit back a screech. It hurt so much. She step by step, continues farther across the coals. The she-cat lets out a small yelp, causing the shadow to twitch. Continuing straight across the coals with no plan isn't a good idea... some coals aren't glowing at all, though. Maybe there's a safe path? |

Katanaheart nebThe two hop onto the fence surrounding the nest. There is a flap in the door that looks flimsy. Any cat can easily get in. The problem is the canine-shaped shadow lying in the yard. It looks up at the two with its white eyes. Its frame suggests that it is rather muscular. Fighting it is a bad idea, but maybe there's a different way to handle this...

Stonestreak glanced over at the shape. "Perhaps we could talk to it!" She meowed, delighted. "Fighting would not give us the upper hand" The she-cat laughed weakly, referring to the recent injuries both suffered on the thunder path.

Brindlemask steps back, her face glowing with embarrassment. "There are some coals that aren't burning. Let's step across those."

"Wait, Brindlemask, two of us can fit, maybe I should go first sense I'm small, and give you some time to cool off. Heavy strike can follow me, but we have to be silence no matter what." Ilex whispered.

It's not like we can sneak by, we don't know this area." Larkwing meowed. |

Ilex nodded, and took a deep breath, "If we go quick, the pain won't be as bad..." she whispered, and stepped on a non burning coal, repeating the process rather quickly but carefully, trying to make her way to Brindlemask.

"Hey you!" Stonestreak called out cheerfully. "Hi I'm Stonestreak! Whats your name?" The shecat looked over to the shape attempting to smile.

Ilex whispered. The coals are scattered around. Ilex's Insight activates![ Sight total of 4 gives a +1 bonus to the next check for everyone.] [ Agility total of 4 allows everyone to pass unharmed. 3 gives minor burns, and 2 wakes up the shadow.] [Ilex can pass the first check if she uses all her focus.] |

Katanaheart nebThe group's Speech is tested...Speech score revealed! Larkwing: No speech score Stonestreak: Speech 1 The canine shadow growls, but settles with shuffling its paws once it realizes it cannot reach the two. "We are Nix," it snarls, deciding to try to talk to this strangely-friendly cat.

"Hi Nix! Its nice to meet you! What do you mean by 'we'?" She asked curiously, still remembering to smile. She kept her tail and head held high, but looked directly at the canine, maintaining eye contact.

Ilex continues and uses all her focus to do so. She sees a path through the hot coals, and tries to step through to the other side. Ilex's Agility is tested...A few coals scorch her pads, but she manages to pass the hot bed of coals. |

Ilex bites the sides of her inner cheek, trying to conceal a shriek of pain, and gasps, once in safety she began to lick the burns to soothe them. She looked up at Heavystrike and nodded, "Go ahead..." she whispered to Brindleask and Heavystrike, resting for a few moments.

She kept her tail and head held high, but looked directly at the canine, maintaining eye contact. Larkwing nodded her head, to show she was at least friendly. It might be better to let someone cheerful like Stonestreak to do all the talking, even if her tongue was dying to ask questions... |

Katanaheart neb"We are Nix. Nothing. Nullified," the canine growls. It looks at them hungrily, but Stonestreak's words have made it more curious than angry. "We seek to become. We seek to be filled."

Heavystrike attempts to follow after Ilex. "Thank you." He whispered, grateful the cats he met so far had been helpful. Aside from a few hot coals that scorch his pads, he keeps to the cooler path. |

Stonestreak looked at Larkwing, confused. "What do you think?" She whispered to her companion, trying not to draw Nix's attention. "Well again, good to meet you! So do you live around here?" The she-cat was attempting to make small talk to buy them a small amount of time. It probably wouldn't be best to just spring on Nix that they want to enter their territory.
