The leader of the pilgrims shakes his head in what Gib registers as worn resignation, "We have traveled far, lost most of our supplies and a third of our number. They come at night—the restless ones. They never stop. They never tire."He stops, and his gaunt face fixes as he stares into nothingness, "As bad as they are, the laughers are so much worse. They are cunning and merciless." He glances towards Kith. "And they seek the fairer sex... we have lost brothers, but all of our sisters were taken by them."
A snort escapes the cat, then, more derisive than the last and Gib can't help but wonder if the very sight of the Khazari warrior will set the poor priests off again. "Let them come," Ch'dau snarls, "I grow weary of this endless slogging and would welcome a battle!" As would I, my friend, Gib acknowledges silently.
Midge moves forward and loudly states, "I'm not a priest who can heal your ails, however even I know that morale is a critical factor. I can do nothing for the weather, but most men feel better if they are clean. Perhaps that will lighten your step enough that you can take time to tell us of the trouble behind you."
The halfling wizard moves closer to the traveler obviously intent on making good on his offering. Gib immediately recalls the magical cleaning and mending that his small friend has blessed them with throughout these past weeks and feels a generally kindness towards the little man for being so gracious.
The pilgrim shakes his head as Midge approaches from the middle of the adventurer's group, "We have tarried too long!" he wails. "We must go, with haste! The Blue Lady's blessings be on you all."
Disconcerting doesn't begin to cover the reception the Priest of Therassor has to his counterpart's words. They come at night—the restless ones. They never stop. They never tire. Dark words with a specific meaning veiled in the enigmatic telling that truly offers no insight relegating the battle priest to imaginative pondering. Blinking away the creeping feeling across his damp flesh, Priest Enderedre responds to the well-wishes with an instinctive prayer, "And may the Battle Lord guide your hand."
As the bedraggled contingent of Lysoran clergy shamble past, Gib turns about to meet the expressions of his fellows. Already burdened with an educated guess as to what the harried priest was referring to, he can only hope that they are prepared.
"This mist brings darkness to us early, my friends," Gib takes his gloved right hand and wipes it under his hooked nose to alleviate a tickle. "And from the report we just received, it would seem the undead travel with it. I know not what the laughing one could be but the others sound like the walking dead to me. Should the Honored General grant it, I may be able to turn some of their numbers away providing less that we need deal with until ready... if we are bese—"
The tattered group is perhaps thirty yards or so down the road when the giggling starts, interrupting the long-winded warrior priest and drawing his eyes past his companions. Curious, Gib frowns. Are the Laughing Ones infectious? Have the victims now become the very foe we must concern ourselves with? But he then realizes that the horrible cackle is, in fact, coming from beyond the Lysoran contingent; further into the mists that still grow.
"The cowards mock us," Ch'dau growls softly and tears the hood away from his head with one hand as the other, still gripping the hilt of his falcata, begins to tug the blade free of its sheath. The Cat is already moving forward when Gib calls out, "I do not think it them, fierce Kazari!" Whether it is the priest's correction or self-realization that draws the Silver Cat up, Gib is unsure, but Ch'dau does stop his vengeful pursuit.
Now comes the moans—first, the moans of fear from the pilgrims, then the moans of several figures emerging from the dusk...Zombies, of that Gib is certain.
"It can't be" Aranwen mumbles from her position on Gib's right as the first shadows close in on the pilgrim group. Startled by the bladesinger's sudden leap forward and the drawing of her longsword, the black-haired priest jerks to the side and drops his hand to the grip of his mace. No... a sword will better serve here, the priest of Therassor corrects his action and draws his own blade.
The pilgrims scream in panic. Their leader cries out, "Lysora save us, they have come!"
At that, a dark shape rushes from among the emerging figures, darting in amongst the scattering pilgrims who scream in terror.
"Lysora be damned," the Kazari roared tearing the sickle-bladed falcata free and charging into the blooming fray, "it is Rrowl you need!!!"
Pressing his lips together in frustration at having immediately lost their two warriors in an unorganized charge, Gib calls to his Solanis counterpart, "Cedric, stay with Midge and Atharis and see if the God of Light can lessen the press of those zombies!"
Rushing after his warrior friends, sword and shield in hand, Gib also calls to the halfling wizard, "Cold will have no effect on these creatures, Midge!" He knows not whether the little man was planning on using any cold-based magic, but he thought it best to enlighten the mage before he finds out for himself that it is ineffective.
By some far-off God's grace, the approaching group turned out to only be a ragtag group of human men. Kithran kept her guard up, but let out a small sigh of relief.
The leader of the group--a man bearing a stringy, dirty beard--called out as they approached. "Block not our path! We cannot tarry here, not with what stalks this road at night. We seek the blessed shrine of Lysora in the Taverton wood; we dare not stop, lest we never reach it." His voice sounded as though he gargled glass. Kithran wondered when the last time this man and his companions had had water was, but he fixed the group with a baleful gaze and continued: "You would do well to be off this road come nightfall. They are coming. They never rest!"
The collective groan that went up sent the hairs that had begun to settle on the back of Kithran's neck standing up again. What monstrosities waited for nightfall? Surely the man's warning had something to do with the sounds, the shadows, the unease the mist had brought with it. It couldn't be merely coincidence.
Gib spoke up: "Sir. Kind sir. Who are They and pray tell, what has befallen you? What should we be prepared for? Please, stop and share your knowledge with us that we may not fall prey to the unknown of which you infer."
Kithran didn't expect the man to reply, so she was surprised when the scraggly human actually answered. "As bad as they are, the laughers are so much worse. They are cunning, and merciless." For a brief moment, his eyes met Kithran's. Instinctively, her hands grasped her weapons. "And they seek the fairer sex... we have lost brothers, but all of our sisters were taken by them."
Comforting. It seemed that whatever peril lied after nightfall would have particular interest in her. Despite wanting to appear as collected as ever, Kithran took a small step in Ch'dau's direction. She could defend herself, but it wouldn't hurt to have her monstrous companion at her back should trouble arise.
The pilgrim shook his head and announced their departure, his group continuing their way away. Kithran's eyes were trained on their retreating forms. A giggle broke the mist and was quickly followed by more. Her hands tightened now and Kithran pulled her blades free when the screaming began. "Lysora save us, they have come!"
Whatever the pilgrims had encountered, it seemed to be ripping them apart. Kithran's knuckles were white as she scanned their figures, looking for the cause. There. A shape, dark and unknown, darted amongst the pilgrims. They scattered in terror, continuing to scream. As Kithran moved to step closer to her companions, Ch'dau let out a roar. "Lysora be damned, it is Rrowl you need!" And with that, whatever protection Kithran might have wished for from him was gone as the kazari went charging towards the apparent battle. Aranwen was alongside him, both focused on whatever was attacking the pilgrims.
Kithran swore. There went Gib, charging to combat as well. Could they have not at least spoken a handful of words of strategy? The pilgrims warning still echoed in her mind as she hovered with the casters for a moment, deciding. Then she gripped her daggers tighter and darted forward, worries be damned.
"Remember their warning!" Kithran hissed loudly, falling into step behind their front line. "I am not ready to be snatched away just yet."
She tried to get exact eyes on their enemy, determining how many and which posed the most risk to herself. Ideally, Kithran intended to strike in tandem with whichever of her companions engaged in combat closest to her. She did not have the raw strength the others may possess, but if one of her companions went high and distracted their enemy, it would give Kithran a chance to go low and attack from the flank.
Atharis does his damndest to hide his fright, clenching his fist as he holds fast beside Midge."What ghoulish terror could this be to cause such fear in so many men…."His eyes can't help but wander towards the sound of the screaming pilgrims, he begins to ponder spells and useful magic, summoning a ball of flame into his hand his stands ready for whatever terror may come.
I do not know friend Atharis, [with a little laugh] but apparently our pet monster does! He said, "No cold magic" and that's a little disturbing. See if you can't use that little flame to make a larger one - I can use that later. Best to prepare a defense now though.
[Quietly Chanting, and boldly thrusting his hand, palm forward, in the direction of the screams] Between thee and me, a shield there be! {Shield v3p808 - 1 mana}
[He then drops a few round river stones to the ground around him and grips his sling-staff in both hands - lacross style!. Now ready to attack with it, or let go to cast his next spell as the situation develops]
Hopefully, they have gotten used to how weak these refugees are and our martial friends will be a big suprise. It would be nice to reverse the initiative and get the drop on them!
After the attack, Cedric wants to try turning undead if he is close enough. Move closer if needed.
Cedric is horrified at the carnage. "By the Radiant Father, what is it?"
[Also, try to use undead knowlege to identify the creatures.]
Cedric readies his staff.
Ch'dau and Aranwen rush forward, both deftly sidestepping the fleeing forms of the half-starved pilgrims. Fortunately, it seems that the attackers are, if possible, even less spry than the travel-weary pilgrims. For a moment or two, it looks as if the Lysorans may be able to break free. As they frontline fighters of the party slip past the first few pilgrims, the mist opens momentarily.
Revealing a scene from a nightmare.
The flesh of the attackers is a pale, greenish-gray - where it still remains whole. In many places, skin and flesh alike hang loose or are missing entirely, revealing bone underneath. The eyes are wide and empty, staring vacantly (provided that the eyes are not missing altogether); yet somehow, you instinctively know that these abominations can see quite clearly. Two of them have firm grasps on wailing pilgrims, and wordlessly, the kazari and the bladsinger split up to save the afflicted.
Then, the true terror reveals itself.
One creature seems to be in much better physical condition than the others. Where the majority seem to be slow, awkward, animated corpses shuffling along... this one is different. It appears to be a twisted mockery of a human, but it does not seem to be in the same state of decay as the others. It grins broadly, revealing a mouth full of crooked fangs, then begins giggling in a maniacal fashion as it leaps among the terrified pilgrims. It rends about with claw and fang, and every person it touches either falls to the damp ground or freezes in their tracks altogether.As the melee is joined, you find yourselves outnumbered - there are a solid dozen of the creatures that Gib correctly recognizes as zombies.
Initially, these provide little resistace; Ch'dau drivs one falcata through the chest of a zombie and sweeps his second blade across its throat, nearly decapitating it. Aranwen, now fully in battle trance, sings her wordless melody as she dances among the carnage. The bladesinger easily sidesteps a clumsy swipe from a walking corpse, then ripostes and drives her blade through the creature's rotting brains.
Gib raises his blade aloft, and calls out to Therassor to come to the aid of the party, to drive these undead from the field. When he does so, a few of the creatures do turn and run.
Kith takes her opportunity to flank a zombie threatening Ch'dau, driving both of her blades deeply into its flesh. Midge finishes an incantation, creating a physical wall of worce betwen himself and any would-be attackers.
And then, the press of numbers begins to work in the favor of the undead. A blow bounces off of Gib's shield, but another strikes him from behind. Aranwen deflects the attack of another - at the loss of its hand. Kith pulls back from a grasping attack, only to find herself ironically flanked as she is struck hard from behind.
Ch'dau fends off an attack, rending another zombie nearly in two, but hears the gigling too late as teeth and fangs sink into his forearm. Instantaneously, the kazari can feel a dank, unholy chill creep into his very bones - then suddenly, he is unable to move or act!
Initially, Cedric has hung back with the spellcasters, but as he sees the tide beginning to turn, he moves forward. Holding his holy symbol aloft, he cries out for Solanis to turn the undead from their course - and the Lord of Light sees fit to drive several more from the field.
Aranwen fights her way towards the immobilized form of Ch'dau, and rakes his blade along the flank of the giggling monstrosity. The strike spins the creature around, and it fixes the bladesinger with yellow eyes and flicks its tongue at her. It leaps, raking its claws along her forearm, then rushes away into the mist. The sylvari feels the unhaoly chill enter her own body, but it is a passing distraction at most; the pain of the filthy claws is far worse than the old coldness, and she is able to continue the fight without difficulty.
One of the zombies shambles after the fleeing pilgrims, presenting the spellcasters with a shot. Midge is deadly accurate with a bullet from his sling, and an instant later, a pair of energy bolts fly from the fingertips of Atharis, where they bury themselves into the damaged zombie, causing it to topple to the ground.
Meanwhile, Aranwen, Gib, and Kithran are able to cut down the remaining attackers, and suddenly, the only noises left are those of the moans of the wounded pilgrims.
The fight is over.
Breathing heavily from both the effort and the pain inflicted upon him, Gib's gaze rolls across the field assessing the situation and determining that the enemy has been defeated or forced into retreat. How many zombies were sent scurrying? he wonders, concerned about their return as he attempts to determine what damage has been done that he might treat or implore the Mighty General for a miracle of healing upon. Wiping the ichor from the battle off his blade onto the wet grasses, he uses his cloak to then dry the weapon before sheathing it.
"Keep an eye out for any that might think better of their retreat and return for more, if you will," Gib calls to Midge and Atharis.
His fellows are well enough despite the great cat's inability to move. Some small injuries, it would seem, but the priest is leary nonetheless. He is well aware that some undead can cause disease with a touch or inflict curses and other maladies, so his concern isn't complete abated yet.
Gib makes his way back to where he dropped his pack and winces as he scoops it by a strap to return to his shoulder. I will definitely have to ask Cedric to look at that and see if it is just bruising or if there is more to concern myself with. Turning his attention to the Lysorans, Gib moves among them applying what aid he can. Reading the Rites of the Dead is the purview of the shepherds for this flock, unless there are none remaining alive. If that's the case, the warrior priest feels such rites better left to his counterpart as there was no battle given by these poor pilgrims and they would not find a place within Therassor's Halls even if Gib performed the rite.
Once he has finished assisting what Lysorans that he can, Gib turns his attention to his friends. If Cedric has not yet done so, the cleric moves to inspect Kith, Ch'dau, and Aranwen.
"I realize that these past days have been stale," he begins as he approaches his warrior friends, "but, perhaps, in the future, we might at least strategize a little before rushing into battle. Like we did when bringing justice to those bandits? That would be most appreciated."
Gib has found that it is best not tread upon warrior's pride when chastising them.
"Now," the cleric clips once he finishes inspecting his companion's wounds and focuses on the last remaining Lysorans. "How far is it to your destination and will you truly be safe there?"
Would we as well? Rest is going to be needed sooner rather than later, he wonders.
The kazari beast leapt into battle and, while exceedingly pleased to be free of the endless monotony of the march, also, regretted his boredom fueled impetuousness almost instantly. As he sidestepped the scattering Lysoran's and waded into fight the mists parted and revealed the true horror of what he faced…
These dead are… already dead, he realized with no small amount of shock even as he drove a blade through the gut of one of them and, simultaneously, relieved it of it's head, What sorcery is this?!
…He flicked the remains of that first vanquished foe from his blades even as he set upon the next but, even as he closed on the monstrosity of twice-dead meat, couldn't help but recall the horrors he'd seen in Sendria and, given their proximity to that vile place, couldn't help but think that that closeness must have something to do with the corrupted corpses he now found himself facing. It was in this moment that he realized that, in his battle-lust, he had forgotten about his dear Kith. Even as his closed on his next target, he let his gaze flick away to search for the girl, the tip of his tail flicking in a fractional instant of happiness and relief as he spots her gutting another of the unholy terrors that had sought to flank him. Praise the claws of Rrowl, he thought, as he forced his gaze to let her go and return to the next rotting horror descending upon him, I should never forgive myself were they to take you, little kitten.
With another roar, driven by battle-frenzy and anger at himself for not having assured the thief's safety by charging off so rashly, he fends off the damned creature's attack and, in retribution, hews the thing in two with the next swipe of his blade. Knowing that Kith was close, now, the snarling cat was set to turn on the next rotting foe, then, but had made the mistake of losing sight of the chitterer, only to realize, too late, that the thing was already upon him. A sharp pain shot up his arm where tooth and claw had sunk into his flesh and, a scant breath later, a malevolent, fusty chill spread as quickly through his body as had his bloodlust only moments ago. He tried to fight it, of course, but, the more he did, the quicker it seemed to spread and, in an impossibly short time, the big kazari found himself unable to blink, let alone move or fight. He was frozen stiff in the heat of battle and it both terrified and infuriated him. Rrowl was not the sort of deity to respond to pleas for protection on the field and so, as Ch'dau fought against the unnatural immobility inflicted upon him, he sent a silent prayer out to his war-god that his companions fight honorably and their blades strike true… And, should it look futile, Kithran, you run and think nothing of how I might be prone say it will dishonor you.
As futile as he knows prayers to his god to be, and as frustrated as it made him to bear still witness to the end of the battle raging about him, the Silver Cat cannot help but be relieved that the encounter ended in his party's favor. Between the battle prowess of his martially inclined companions and the spells available to those of less war-like vocation, the rotting soldiers and their giggling leader are quickly enough vanquished. He still fought against the strange stiffness that had befallen him but, at the same time, took some bit of peace in the knowledge that Kith was safe and his other friends, too, had come through the fray with little more than scratches and bruises. Still immobile but able to feel the cursed rigidity, slowly seeping from him, Ch'dau watched as Gib and Cedric tended the Lysoran wounded, fighting all the while to hurry along his return to this damnable stone-state… I've not felt this helpless since I was but a cub at my dam's teat, he growled behind an unmovable jaw, I dislike it!
Soon enough, the rigor afflicting the Capashan beast's body begins to diminish and, though it aches and pains to do so, Ch'dau forces himself to move, snarling in frustration and, perhaps, some bit of pain as he, at last, manages enough range of motion to flick away the gore that still clung to his blades. A rumbling, angry growl follows as the kazari manages to lift a foot and bring it down hard on the head of the half-rotted corpse nearest him, grunting with some petty satisfaction as the skull crumpled and cracked under his toes. Growling at the effort it takes to do so, he wipes his blades off on the tattered remnants of his fallen enemy's clothes before sheathing them. As he rose stiffly to his feet, he great blinking eyes sought out Kithran and, again, the tip of his tail flicked happily at seeing that she was well. Any words he might have been prepared to speak to her, though, were set aside when Gib's admonition reached his ears…
… "Quite," Ch'dau answered, dipping his head by way of acknowledging the mistake he'd made, "My apologies, friend Gib. I should have known better."
Thumbing the blood from the scratches and punctures on his arm, then, the kazari's eyes find the party's rouge, and his feet aren't far behind in getting the big cat to her side. He licks the blood from his paws before resting them on her lithe shoulders and pulling her closer in something akin to an embrace. "I'll not leave you at such a disadvantage, again, either, little kitten," he purred softly enough for only her to have heard, "I owe you more than this, yes?"
((OOC: Room here for anything from Kith, be it a short conversation or a simple rolling of the eyes, a playful swat, and a "stupid kitty!" Up to the Princess.
Assuming that anything following this brief interaction between Kith and Ch'dau coincides with Gib asking the Lysoran's about their destination, etc… Ch'dau will stick close to his little thiefy buddy and, otherwise, follow whatever orders are given/decided upon between Aranwen and Gib. Backposts and such as necessary of course.))
After the battle ends, Gib seeks out the leader of the pilgrims. The bearded man is staggering; if you had to hazard a guess, you would suspect that he has at least a couple of broken ribs. He fares better than several of his companiions, however - two own deep gouges in their flesh, thanks to the claws of the giggling monstrosity, and three more lie dead. Only a half dozen pilgrims still live... if one could call their half-starved, shambling existence "life". "How far is it to your destination," the claric of Therassor asks, "and will you truly be safe there?" The bearded pilgrim shakes his head. "The Shrine is perhaps three days' journey from here. Will we be safe? Only the gods can say. This is good country, the roads under King Jarom's rule have always been safe. But in these times? Who can say? The road ahead must be safer than the road behind us. All we can do is have faith... and keep moving."The fixed gazes of the three bodies on the ground stare into the dusky sky and mock the simplicity of the holy man's words.
After dispatching the last of the zombies, Aranwen takes in the carnage surrounding her. Rotting corpes are strewn about the battlefield, mostly the fallen zombies, but a few of the pilgrim victims are among them. She frowns at the senseless waste of life, wishing she had been faster, holding herself responsible for their deaths.
Aranwen sees Gib helping the surviving pilgrims, and she is satified that the warrior priest has things in hand. Turning her attention to Ch'dau, whose body was rigid from the touch of that laughing fiend, a worried look turns to relief as she sees that the big cat has only sustained a few superficial wounds. And the paralysis seems to be slowly leaving him, as Aranwen notices a slight movement and a growl of effort escape from her friend's lips. Placing a reassuring hand on Ch'dau's shoulder, Aranwen smiles and says "Don't worry, my friend, together we will battle this evil that has come forth. We will find that laughing demon and end him!"
With that, Ch'dau begins freeing himself more and more from the grip of paralysis. Gib, apparently satisfied with the condition of the remaining pilgrims, comes over and says "I realize that these past days have been stale, but, perhaps, in the future, we might at least strategize a little before rushing into battle. Like we did when bringing justice to those bandits? That would be most appreciated."
Ch'dau now moving about more and more, answers "Quite. My apologies, friend Gib. I should have known better."
Aranwen's face takes on a more serious look "I am sorry, my friend. But there was no time to discuss tactics in this situation!" She points to the three fallen pilgrims near them "As it was, I was not fast enough to save THEM. How many more would lie dead if we had delayed when the time came for action?" The serious look on her face softens as Aranwen sighs and says "But you are right, rushing headlong into danger could have gotten one of us killed. We were lucky to have escaped relatively unscathed."
Gib begins inspecting the wounds on his companions, cleaning and bandaging them as needed. Then, addressing the pilgrim leader, he asks "How far is it to your destination, and will you truly be safe there?" The bearded pilgrim shakes his head. "The Shrine is perhaps three days' journey from here. Will we be safe? Only the gods can say. This is good country, the roads under King Jarom's rule have always been safe. But in these times? Who can say? The road ahead must be safer than the road behind us. All we can do is have faith... and keep moving."
Addressing the pilgrim leader, Aranwen asks "How long has it been since these fiends first started attacking? Have you any idea where they may have come from or what could have provoked these attacks? Perhaps something strange occurred just before the attacks started?"
Atharis stands in dismay at the sight of the destruction, his ears ringning with the sounds of the recently deceased.He looks to his companions and is reassured to know that everyone is relatively unscathed.
Gib approches and shouts "Keep an eye out for any that might think better of their retreat and return for more, if you will," , Atharis looks to Midge with a nod and begins to walk to perimeter of the battlefield, squiting his gaze past the mist to ensure the partys safety.
Atharis speaks to Midge in a somber tone, "One can only hope we never have to see such malign horrors again, I dread this may only be the beginning of something far worse."
The unsightly shells of the dead strewn about the road and the near lifeless eyes of the few living pilgrims tell Atharis that dark and iniquitous forces are at power here, he envys Gib's abillity to remain so about his wits in the wake of such wicked horror.
Addressing the pilgrim leader, Aranwen asks "How long has it been since these fiends first started attacking? Have you any idea where they may have come from or what could have provoked these attacks? Perhaps something strange occurred just before the attacks started?"The bearded man blinks three times, his gaze unfocused. He takes so longer to asnwer that the bladesinger begins to worry that he has perhaps lost conciousness, yet remained on his feet. But answer he does, in a choked voice. "We have endured this for four nights, now. Once, twice a night. They come, they kill, they take." A sob escapes his gaunt frame. "What provoked this, I cannot say. We had hoped that reaching Crandel would end this, but it seems as bad here as it did on the road to the west."The pilgrim leader is shaking with emotion. "We are simple folk! We seek only to honor the Blue Lady! We have harmed no one, taken nothing, done nothing unsuual at all! We stick to the road, camp at night, eat the food we brought with us. Why would these monsters trouble our path?"Another sob escapes him. "You will excuse us now, please. We thank you for your aid, truly. But we must pray over our fallen.. and Lysora forgive us, we must leave them. We have not the strength to dig holes or gather stones, and hve learned the cruelty of or enemy - if we tarry to dig, we may as well lie down in the holes with them, for our doom is sealed. We will not survive another attack. Our only chance is to get as close to the Shrine as we can, and hope that their attention is diverted for long enough for us to escape their notice."
He moved away from the party, and the survivin pilgrims move to pray over their dead comrades.
Cedric asks, "Is anyone hurt that could use the ministratations of a cleric?"
Cedric is horrified at the carnage and calls on the Solanis to steady himself.
"Was anyone take by the creatures? I think these people need our help."
Cedric moved from person to person checking for injuries.
"Are these creatures following these people? Or is it a local phenomena?"
His apologies rendered, Ch'dau releases Kith from his grip and allows his attentions to turn back to the others. As expected, Gib, Cedric, and Aranwen are moving among the pilgrims, tending the wounded and asking questions of their leader…
"How far is your destination," Gib's voice reached the kazari's ears first, "and will you truly be safe there?"
"The shrine is perhaps three days from here," the pilgrim's leader replied, continuing on with no small amount of ambiguity as to his party's potential safety. "The road ahead must be safer than the road behind us," he surmised in the end, "All we can do is have faith… and keep moving."
Aranwen followed up the cleric of Therassor's inquiries with her own, then; "How long has it been since these fiends first started attacking? Have you any idea where they may have come from or what could have provoked these attacks? Perhaps something strange occurred just before the attacks started?"
The bladesinger's line of questioning seems to pluck at the frail priest's emotions more than Gib's had. "We have endured this for four nights, now," he began in a choked voice, continuing on to summarize the assaults he and his followers had endured. By the end of his reply, the pathetic wretch was shaking and his sobs were scarcely controllable; "We are simple folk! We seek only to honor the Blue Lady! We have harmed no one, taken nothing, done nothing unusual at all! We stick to the road, camp at night, eat the food we brought with us. Why would these monsters trouble our path?"
Because you are weak, the Silver Cat managed not to snarl aloud, and the weak are easy prey! Unable to stomach much more of the moans and groans that ululated from the Lysorans, Ch'dau turned away, a low growl trapped somewhere between his chest and throat, and pulled his hood back over his head as he stalked a few paces up the road, leaving the sniveling priest's final words at his back...
((OOC: I'm assuming there will be some discussion amongst our own party, here, as to what aid we might/will provide them. Ch'dau will skulk silently on the edges of that particular conversation, however it unfolds, until… ))
"…I think these people need our help," Cedric stressed.
"Let them help themselves," Ch'dau rumbled, the repressed growl tinging his words as he swipes a paw dismissively in the direction of the disheveled group of priests, "They haven't the courage or honor to bury their own dead and they flee from battle like scared rabbits! Even if we were to escort them, should another attack come, they'd likely skitter right into the jaws of their doom!"
The kazari's growling had risen along with his irritation and, in that instant, very nearly escaped from behind his pointed teeth… but not quite… Instead, it came out as yet another derisive snort as the big cat's eyes tore away from the sobbing adherents of the Blue Lady. "Besides," he added, trying to tamp down his frustration as he gestured in the direction of the party's mages, "Atharis and the little one are expected in Crandel by their order… In hours, not days… That is where our duty lies."
When the battle did begin, Kithran did her best to stay within reach of her companions. The odds were not favorable, but some luck was on their side: their foes were slow, seemingly driven by simple desires rather than deep thought and strategy. But then the mists seemed to clear slightly and her eyes fell on the source of the hideous laughter. Kithran noted the fangs, the superior condition when compared to its companions. Those crooked fangs parted as it continued its giggling and Kithran tightened her grip on her weapons as time resumed its proper rythm.
As the battle commenced, Kithran did her best to avoid attacks and stay with the others. At one point, she watched one of the shambling zombies move to strike Ch'dau and she seized her opporotunity. The cut of her daggers through rotten flesh released an unpleasant odor, but she gritted her teeth and continued the fight. She nodded to Ch'dau, the hint of a smile on her face, before she moved to continue the fight.
In the heat of battle, her focus on her companions proved a bit too forefront. One of the zombies lunged for her and Kithran managed to pull away, realizing too late some of the creature's companions had flanked her. One of them struck her, hard, and Kithran let out a quiet curse. She regained her composure and managed to slay her attackers, losing herself to the rush of combat. A flurry of movement draw her eye and Kithran saw, too late, the giggling fiend attack Ch'dau and Aranwen move to deal with the creature. Momentarily forgetting her strategy to fall back and strike with the others, Kithran dove into combat. Her anger at watching her friend fall victim to that monstrosity and being unable to stop it drove her blades home. She was able to cut down the rest of the shambling enemies, her strikes finding purchase in their rotted flesh.
Before she really realized what was happening, the last zombie was slain and the giggling had ceased. The party was alone with the pilgrims (or at least, what lived of the pilgrims) once more.
Gib and Cedric approached in time, but Kithran brushed off their concerns. She was sore and no doubt the flesh of her back where the foe's blow had landed was mottled and ugly, but no real damage had been done. When they did step aside to tend to the others, her dark eyes searched for the familiar looming furry figure only to meet his. Kithran flashed another ghost of a smile as Gib spoke up.
"I realize that these past days have been stale," he began as he approaches his warrior friends, "but, perhaps, in the future, we might at least strategize a little before rushing into battle. Like we did when bringing justice to those bandits? That would be most appreciated."
Ch'dau and Aranwen's apologies followed quickly, Kithran keeping her own response to herself. The dull throbbing in her back might sharpen her words unnecessarily and bickering would do no one any good. Kithran again looked to her kazari companion as he came to her side. She stiffened slightly when he reached for her, but allowed the strange embrace. Had one of the others tried, they might have been able to see just how sharp she kept her blade, but Kithran had a soft side for Ch'dau. "I'll not leave you at such a disadvantage, again, either, little kitten," he purred softly enough for only her to have heard, "I owe you more than this, yes?"
"It was not so terrible," Kithran shook her head at his concern. "I'll have a nasty bruise, but I am here, yes? I should worry more for you. That creature's attack..." She trailed off and her gaze fell to his injured arm. A deep scowl came over her features. Kithran said no more on the subject as she felt uncomfortable expressing her worry when their other companions could overhear, but her expression remained troubled.
"I am glad the effects were not permanent."
At this, she turned her attention back to the pilgrims and the leader's conversation with Gib. Three days' travel. Kithran doubted they would make it, given the extent of their injuries and their three dead companions in the dust. Aranwen took up the questioning from there, pressing the pilgrim leader for more answers. Kithran was not surprised when the man began to lose his composure. Uncomfortable with the sobbing, Kithran was suddenly very interested cleaning her blades. She caught Ch'dau's departure and considered distancing herself, but remained as she knew what would come next.
"These men will die without blades to protect them," Kithran noted, her voice flat. The words held no disgust or worry; rather, she stated it as fact. "They have already died."
She replaced her daggers in their holsters and folded her arms across her chest, her eyes slowly sliding over each of her companions before cutting in the direction Ch'dau had stormed off in. "There will be guilt if we allow them to leave without protection."
((OOC: I also assume there will be some discussion. Kith has said about all she will unless directly addressed.))


text: (Bloomberg) -- Turkey's economy showed signs of adjusting after months of overheating, sending the lira to its strongest level since mid-August..A gauge of manufacturing in September contracted the most since the global financial crisis a decade ago, while Turkish exporters shipped more goods than ever for the month. The lira bucked a drop in most emerging-market currencies, gaining to near a key psychological level against the dollar, as optimism spread over the potential for Turkey's detente with its western allies.."The pace of rebalancing accelerated steadily, which suggests that the economic activity slowed down very rapidly during the third quarter," QNB Finansbank economist Deniz Cicek said in emailed comments. "We expect further deceleration in growth and rebalancing" in trade "in the upcoming period.".Helped by a slump in imports of consumer goods that were made more expensive by the lira's decline, Turkey's trade deficit narrowed by 77 percent from a year earlier. That's a relief for investors who've grown alarmed about the size of the country's current-account gap, driven wider mainly by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's pursuit of growth at all costs..With the economy now at risk of a hard landing, Turkey is redressing some of the imbalances in foreign trade that plunged it into a currency crisis. The lira has lost more than a third of its value this year as monetary and fiscal policy remained too loose, leaving the nation's assets vulnerable against a resurgent dollar..Following a move by the central bank to raise interest rates aggressively last month in a bid to support the currency, investors are now waiting for an end to a diplomatic spat with the U.S. to see if pressures will ease further..Currency Rally.The lira gained as much as 2.5 percent to 5.9088 per dollar on Monday. While it's been testing the 6 level over the past few sessions, the "missing element" for a decisive break is an improvement in relations between the U.S. and Turkey, said Piotr Matys, a currency strategist at Rabobank. The next target is the Aug. 16 low at 5.6968, he said..Erdogan met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel last week, a sign he's trying to patch up rocky relations with the European Union. Some investors are also hoping that a jailed American pastor will be released at a hearing on Oct. 12 to end a diplomatic standoff that saw the U.S. impose sanctions against its NATO ally Turkey..The most recent run on the currency began with the announcement of U.S. sanctions mid-August, leaving exporters struggling to adjust to the volatility and resulting in a drop in sales abroad. The turnaround seen in last month's trade data indicates that exports will remain strong going forward while imports continue to drop because of weak domestic demand, according to Muammer Komurcuoglu, an economist at IS Investment in Istanbul..Manufacturing, Trade.The country's September purchasing manufacturing index fell to 42.7 from 46.4 in August, the lowest reading since March 2009. Exports rose 22.6 percent in September from a year earlier while imports declined 18.1 percent, bringing the trade deficit to $1.9 billion from $8.2 billion..Turkey is experiencing "a sudden stop and a sharp external adjustment, something which in isolation is a lira positive and possibly can explain some of the outperformance in the lira this morning," Henrik Gullberg, a strategist at Nomura Plc in London, said in emailed comments after the data..To contact the reporters on this story: Constantine Courcoulas in Istanbul at email@example.com;Onur Ant in Ankara at email@example.com contact the editors responsible for this story: Ven Ram at firstname.lastname@example.com, Paul Abelsky, Lin Noueihed.©2018 Bloomberg L.P.

Product Description
Skimming, filtering and aerating a saltwater aquarium without power consumption is impossible. But, no unit uses less current than TUNZE® DOC Skimmer 9410. At a power consumption of only 11 W (15 W), the new DOC Skimmer has equivalent performance to much larger skimmers consuming more than twice as much power. In addition, no settings are required; it is extremely silent; it is easy to operate and it is nice to look at.
To view a video of the Tunze 9410 Protein Skimmer, click on the link below (a new window will open taking you to the Tunze website):
Skimmer cup (diam. 160 mm (6.2 in.)) with large capacity; also contains the foam reactor; can be removed easily.
The booster ring permits a fine adjustment of the performance, thus adapting the water level inside the skimmer as required for the production of somewhat wetter foam, for example.
The removable post-filter at the outlet of the skimmer permits perfect mechanical filtration through 150 µm acrylic wadding fibres with little biological action. This ensures that no unwanted nutrient and nitrate sources develop in case of longer cleaning intervals. The filter can be filled with other filter media, such as activated carbon or phosphate absorber.
Stable base which also reduces the water velocity in the lower zone of the skimmer.
TUNZE® Hydrofoamer Silence 9410.04 is a pump specifically developed for protein skimmers. The Hydrofoamer generates large volumes of fine air bubbles with a diameter of between 0.1 to 0.3 mm (.0039 to .011 in.). It has an energy consumption of only 11W (15W) at an air output of 600 l/h (158 USgal./h) which places this air generator at the top of its product class. At a water flow of 900 l/h (1,000 l/h) (237 USgal./h / 264 USgal./h), it is also used to supply the aquarium water to the skimmer
The mixing chamber with flow distributor binds an especially high amount of organic material
Intermediate chamber with phase water: The patented Anti-Overfoaming System® prevents an overfoaming of the skimmer and regulates the skimming action according to surface tension of the aquarium water and water level. The skimmer operates independently and automatically sets its best efficiency
Nipple for ozone connection. Ozone improves the skimming process and at the same time removes any yellowing matter in the aquarium water
Recommended for aquariums up to 1,000 litres (264 USgal.) of salt water.
Immersion depth from 140 mm (5.5 in.) to 240 mm (9.4 in.),
Dimensions without post-filter: L250 x W113 x H418 mm (L9.8 x W4.4 x H16.4 in.)

Students at Exeter, Pembroke, and St. Catherine's have expressed disapproval over OUSU's decision to demonstrate against Marine Le Pen's talk last Thursday.
Pembroke's JCR passed the motion, "This JCR resolves to condemn the disruptive actions of these protesters." It criticised OUSU for not protecting the welfare and rights of students, arguing that extremism and intolerance is best countered by free debate and not through disruptive protests. However, they reaffirmed their support for peaceful demonstration.
Ryan Tang, who proposed the motion, told Cherwell, "I decided to propose my motion because it seemed that a lot of Pembroke students were not happy at the way OUSU is politicising itself and supporting disruptive protests without consultation. They all say that we elected them into office, but the reality is that it's nearly impossible for us to keep tabs on what they decide and attending OUSU Council is not something that appeals to 99 per cent of Oxford students.
"By passing this motion, hopefully we can send a message to OUSU that they need to consult students a bit more when taking political stances instead of just listening to a handful of activists."
Exeter College's JCR also passed a motion strongly disapproving of OUSU's stand, which they believe "took a party political standpoint against Marine Le Pen's appearance at the Oxford Union and the Front National, an action that should not be in the remit of OUSU regardless of the popularity and validity of the party political views protested against." They also expressed their disapproval of OUSU mandating the president to send out an email to all Oxford students about the protest.
Exeter JCR president Tutku Bektas told Cherwell, "We came to university to hear and engage with a plurality of views, even those which we may vehemently disagree with. After OUSU passed a motion that condemned Marine Le Pen's appearance at the Oxford Union, we thought it important to send the message that there are still students that value free speech."
St. Catherine's JCR's OUSU Representative, Christopher Casson, expressed his anger at OUSU's actions in a blog post entitled 'I now hate OUSU. Here's why.' He said, "We voted to condemn an organisation whose sole purpose is to encourage free speech and debate, for literally doing their job. It isn't our [OUSU's] place to start attempting to censor things that go on in the Union. We're meant to be representing students, sure, but that includes the students that want to hear her talk."
When asked if St Catz had any plans to disaffiliate, Casson stressed, "We do think that it's important to be part of the organisation so that we can fight for the changes we want from the inside."
Nikhil Venkatesh, who proposed the motion to OUSU, said, "I would encourage all common rooms to stick with OUSU. In a democratic system, there will always be some decisions some members disagree with, but the beauty o f OUSU is that anyone from any common room can get involved and change it. I don't apologise for my motion, or for my participation in the protest. I feel it's important to point out that the motion was not a motion of 'no platform'."
Analysis: Pembroke student Carl Gergs argues that our right to listen should not be threatened
The protesters last Thursday night had every right to challenge a figure who is intolerant against certain individuals and denies them personal freedom concerning religion and opinion. In that sense, Le Pen should not be left unchallenged. However, physically attempting to prevent and intimidate those wishing to listen to such a speaker and condemning not just the Union, but also those curious to challenge Le Pen themselves does not seem right.
The question here is not why protesters felt the need to demonstrate against the views of Marine Le Pen. The question is why the protesters felt the need to condemn her in the way that they did – drawing attention to themselves rather than to the potential slips of the speaker and frightening those both inside and outside the Union.
The atmosphere of intimidation which they fostered almost placed them on the same level as Le Pen – at least when it comes to freedom of speech and tolerance, which are ironically the grounds on which we condemned Marine Le Pen in the first place.
The protesters are ill-informed to believe that the majority – if not all – of the students inside the Union chamber did not condemn Marine Le Pen's politics. The tough questions with which she found herself faced surely prove that.
Their demands that the Union prevent Le Pen from speaking made us all look like hypocrites. Those protesters kept us from effectively challenging the person we were supposed to. Instead, we ended up at each other's throats; students against students; OUSU against the Oxford Union. It was supposed to be Oxford against Marine Le Pen. Instead, people entering the debating chamber to vent their anger in an actual discussion, were shamed as "Nazis" and "Fascists".
What would have happened had there not been protests and, moreover, if those protests had not been spurred by the OUSU motion? Attention would not have been drawn away from what Le Pen actually said – painting her as a martyr for freedom of speech, the entrance to the chamber wouldn't have been blocked, and more students would have had the opportunity to publicly "challenge Le Pen. We could have debated with a politician whom we all condemn, rather than wasting time debating each other.
One should also question how much blame OUSU has to take for the protests getting out of hand. There will always be chaotic radicals at demonstrations like this. Regardless, protesters, OUSU, and all of us need to learn a lesson from this. Publicly condemning a politician like Marine Le Pen is our right, some might even argue it is our duty. However, turning public outrage against the platform that allows us to challenge politicians like her is unwise. This is not a defense of the Union; it is a defense of the students who actually wanted to show the world how wrong Le Pen is.

Interesting. Sounds like if you buy an item that's <$1.25 each time, it's basically free..?
7-Eleven sell some cheap snacks like char siu bao and stuff as well. Think I might do that hahaha.
Hang on - do you even need to purchase something..?
edit: Just found the specific deal page. Will report to get it updated to this. And according to T&Cs, a purchase is required
Ok this deal link doesn't "work". All the details of all the offers on 7-Eleven have the same link. You have to go here then select the specific deal you want to see the details of. Will not report then..
Updated for purchase requirement… Free snacks if you'd like to put it at that :p
- +1 vote
Just tried doing this.
Heads up to anyone else in this position - best to check if the 7-Eleven has enough cash to do cash out. Just ask the cashier - at least that way you save yourself some time (lining up/looking for an item) in case they don't have enough cash. Just happened to me lol.

As part of golf's current crop of fast-rising talent, Justin Thomas of the United States understands the importance of expanding his international horizons. No doubt, though, there's an underlying reason behind adding the Open de France to this year's summer schedule.
It's a scouting trip.
In three months, Le Golf National, site of this week's Open, will enjoy an even bigger spotlight as host of just the second Ryder Cup to be played in continental Europe. Unlike European pros who can tee it up at Le Golf National's Albatros course outside of Paris every year, Thomas is taking advantage of a rare chance to get an early look.
"I'm excited to see the course," said Thomas in a statement, now back to No. 2 in the world rankings after recently spending four weeks atop the chart. "It's not like a Ryder Cup or a Presidents Cup in the States where we can just pop over and play when we want. I'm hoping to get some good vibes from it."
Just how many other Americans might endeavor a sneak peek remains to be seen. Jim Furyk, the captain of the United States team, is putting the finishing touches on an outing next month for his Ryder Cup hopefuls, though attendance is optional.
As it stands, perhaps only Thomas will have seen the Albatros under tournament conditions since the course got a Ryder Cup tweak two years ago. As the Americans seek to win on European soil for the first time in a quarter-century, course familiarity could be a factor.
"We love this golf course," said the European captain Thomas Bjorn. "I believe we could win on any golf course in the world, but there is a home advantage in the sense that we know the golf course very well."
Le Golf National has been part of the European Tour schedule since 1991, and since then has hosted every edition of the Open but two. As such, this week's event doesn't necessarily represent a test run for September.
[READ MORE: A Golfer's Debate: To Play, or not to Play]
The event's list of winners includes such standouts as Graeme McDowell, Colin Montgomerie, Martin Kaymer and the defending champion Tommy Fleetwood.
It's a prime example of the contrast in how the two sides embrace their host venues. The Americans gravitate to sites with major championship pedigree — Hazeltine National, Medinah, Oakland Hills — that offer an iconic backdrop but require players on both sides to get familiar with the layout.
Europe, on the other hand, almost always taps into its top tour destinations.
Gleneagles in Scotland, site of the 2014 matches, was the host of the Johnnie Walker Championship for 15 years. The K Club (2006) in Ireland staged 12 editions of the European Open. Valderrama in Spain was the site of the Volvo Masters for a decade before the Ryder Cup arrived in 1997.
"One thing that Europe's done very well is they play on courses where they hold European Tour events," Furyk said. "Most of their players have access to courses that our players haven't seen before. They have a home-field advantage, which is very wise, and here they picked a venue that their players like."
Le Golf National, sculpted from farmland southwest of Paris near Versailles, was designed with the purpose of becoming a hub for French golf. The Albatros is the showpiece among three courses, flanked by the Aigle and the nine-hole Oiselet layout.
[READ MORE: A French Golfer Takes a Hard Look at Golf in France]
"It's made for the Ryder Cup," Kaymer said. "It's great for spectators, especially the last five holes."
Water plays a prominent role in the finishing stretch, and spectator mounds help create a feel not unlike T.P.C. Sawgrass and the Players Championship.
"You have to hit the ball straight," Furyk said. "You have to be accurate. Coming down the stretch, you've got a lot of water, almost a stadium-like atmosphere around holes 15 through 18. I think it's going to be a great venue."
For all the approving reviews, though, the Open de France has drawn few American entrants in recent editions. Of the players projected to contend for a Ryder Cup roster spot this fall, only the two-time United States Open champion Brooks Koepka and Matt Kuchar have played Le Golf National in the past five years.
That isn't to say Americans haven't produced good finishes. Peter Uihlein, a member of both the PGA and European Tours, was runner-up last year behind Fleetwood. Kevin Stadler tied for second four years ago.
Furyk might want to consider a captain's pick for Brendan Steele, winner of last fall's Safeway Open who owns three top-10 finishes at Le Golf National since 2011.
But of the likely top 15 players in Europe's pool, all but four have taken on Le Golf National sometime in the past two years.
"We're playing on a golf course that they know and they love," Furyk said.
It's why Furyk hopes a number of players will take him up on an invitation to check out Le Golf National on the weekend before the British Open. After two days of getting a feel for the Albatros, the group would travel to Carnoustie for the year's third major.
However, he's quick to note several may be involved in the Scottish Open or John Deere Classic ahead of Carnoustie.
"We seem to have a bunch of players that hang out together, and I would love to see them make a trip," Furyk said.
"Now I realize everyone's different," he added. "We all have obligations and we have events that we may want to play. I would love to see some of them come, but it's not going to be a requirement. I think it's going to be an ask and an invite, and I would hope to see some of those players."
Once the final putt falls Sunday, work will begin to convert the Albatros layout from a mere tournament site into one that can handle Ryder Cup crowds expected to approach 65,000.
Among the changes will be a new first-tee grandstand, allowing some 6,500 spectators to take in — and contribute to — one of the most electric atmospheres in golf. The grandstand will be configured to also provide views of the 18th green.
By contrast, the grandstand in 2016 around Hazeltine National's first tee held 1,668 fans; Gleneagles (2014) had a grandstand seating of 2,148.
In a statement, Edward Kitson, the Ryder Cup match director, summed up the expectations for the larger crowd and the tournament over all.
"There's no doubt the atmosphere will be incredible."

Augean has announced the renewal and extension of the Group's banking facilities and also that it has paid all outstanding and disputed HMRC Landfill Tax assessments totalling £40.4m, including accrued interest. Management reaffirms it will continue to robustly challenge all HMRC assessments based on legal advice that the Group has correctly collected and paid appropriate landfill tax. The HMRC payment allows management to focus on the strategic development of the Group and provides investors with a much cleaner basis for valuation.

Zytronic's FY19 results (to September) are in line with expectations, confirming a customary improvement in H2 activity. As highlighted previously, a decline in Gaming volumes was the key driver of a 10% decline in Group revenue during the year. There is some near term caution in the statement with trading in the first two months behind the prior year. Our FY20 PBT forecast reduces by 29% as a result. Nevertheless, the pipeline is substantially higher than last year, underpinning medium term confidence. The dividend will no doubt be a focus for investors. This was maintained at 22.8p for the full year (11.8% yield), and the future policy is under consideration by the Board. On our revised forecasts, the shares are trading on 14.5x P/E with £13m net cash.

In the process of upgrading its group-wide ERP system, XP Power suffered some short-term disruptions to shipments from mid-October to mid-November. While shipments have returned to normal levels, the company expects a revenue shortfall of c £6m for FY19, with a consequent impact on earnings. We have revised our FY19 forecasts resulting in a 10.7% reduction in our normalised EPS forecast. As order intake has been robust so far this quarter, we maintain our FY20 estimates.
Companies: XP Power
Driver delivered PBT of £3.0m in FY19 (FY18: £3.8m). Whilst this is a decrease on the prior year, the Group delivered a strong improvement in half on half earnings, with PBT of £2.2m in H2 vs. £0.8m in H1. This improvement was primarily a result of cost savings throughout the second half which should benefit FY20. Importantly, the positive momentum in H2 has continued into the new financial year, with two months of strong trading already achieved. We maintain our FY20 PBT forecast at £3.7m and we would expect a more even H1/H2 weighting. We also introduce an FY21 forecast, which implies continued earnings growth. The balance sheet remains strong (net cash of £5.4m) and, with a promising business pipeline, we expect a return to growth in FY20.
Companies: Driver Group
discoverIE's H1 results confirm it is making continued good progress with its strategy to build its design and manufacturing (D&M) business. Underlying organic group revenue growth of 5% was boosted by higher margin acquisitions and the group is fast approaching its mid-term operating margin target. Targeting higher growth markets within D&M and focusing on efficiency in Custom Supply supports ongoing growth in revenues and profitability.
Companies: Discoverie Group
The organic growth rate and progress seen in the interim period is underpinned by the meaningful contracts signed over the last couple of years. The stock price rise is beginning to discount this growing momentum and we see further upside potential for the share price from multiple expansion and continued organic earnings growth.

After the recent H1 trading update included the comment that "the pipeline for acquisitive expansion also remains strong", Gateley has announced the acquisition of T-three Group. T-three is a human capital consultancy business focused on leadership development and looks highly synergistic with Kiddy & Partners, the leadership consultancy bought in July 2018, as well as with Gateley's core legal services activities in the employment area. The sum being paid (initial £3.17m plus a maximum £0.9m contingent on results to 30 September 2021, all amounts being 50% cash, 50% shares) and the pro-forma results achieved by T-three in the year to 30 September 2019 (Revenue of £4.2m and EBITDA of £0.7m) indicate a modest but immediate earnings enhancement. At this stage however we are not amending our estimates. We note that the initial payment includes c.£0.7m for excess working capital, such that the maximum total consideration on a zero cash, zero debt, normalised level of working capital basis is £3.4m.

Following continued delays of a Brexit agreement, few sectors within the UK market have remained attractive to investors despite low valuations. One sector which has continued to outperform despite the political drama has been the UK video gaming sector (henceforth UK gaming), which we are fans of. We believe a combination of sector-leading growth, strong cash conversion and timely cyclical positioning support our positive view on the UK video gaming sector.

Solid State delivered an 11% pro forma increase in group revenues and a 60% jump in adjusted profit before tax during H120. While some of this increase was attributable to factors such as favourable forex, which management expects will reverse in H220, the group is showing a sustainable benefit from the acquisition of Pacer in November 2018 and a drive to higher margin added-value activities in the Manufacturing division. Management is confident of meeting consensus expectations for the year, which are broadly unchanged since the September upgrade. The shares continue to trade at a substantial discount to peers for prospective P/E.
Companies: Solid State
Augean has reorganised its business and now enjoys a strong competitive position in its key markets, allowing it to capture underlying market growth and significantly improve profitability. The H119 results and recent trading update suggest this trend is set to continue. Augean's market rating, even allowing for the outstanding tax liability with HMRC, appears very modest for a company with significant growth potential.
