The girl looked down at her chest not sure where the creature called Astrid had gotten that from. "Arrows? I have no arrows in me, only bloody spots where they were. I'm not injured in any way." Molly said an eyebrow cocked at the thought of the small creature giving her sass.
"Nor am I." Horace said looking up for a moment. "It's not wise to veer from the path that we have been given. The snail is not the correct way. It will lead us to places that are not meant to be tamed."
"How do you know that?" Molly asked. She was so confused, what was going on here? Everyone seemed to be fighting without throwing any punches.
"I've been there, though the path they say if not the one I've traveled before. We should stay true to the path, that will take us to the beacon in time." The man said turning at this point and walking away towards the road to their left, the opposite to the snail like rock. Molly was torn between where to go, who to follow...yet over the two strange creatures she wanted to stick with the one she at least know a bit more. She backed up, staring at the two before following Horace her head down.

Astrid shrugged, and then called "Molly, look deeper." As she said that, a veering pain cut deep into your flesh where the bloody spots were, and arrow tips started emerging. "Same to you, Horace."

The girl looked yet saw nothing. Her wounds were healed, the blood long since dried on her armor. "I don't have a clue as to what you are speaking about."
Horace absentmindedly touched his neck which his head was still attached to. "You are wrong, neither of us are still injured. Our real bodies still maybe but these are not. Now if you wish to come with us you may."

(I think I'm gonna back out :/ this isn't that fun anymore. Say that we went different ways, but be free to use my characters)

(They are welcomed to follow them it's just that you kinda made all the rules and the path and what they find at the end. I feel like I really had no say in the matter. I posted a plan on the form page if you want to look at it. Simply I'm trying to get Them back on the path they are to be taking.)

'Go not the easiest path...' a whisper like ghostly voice whispered in the man's ear. 'It will lead you to me all the quicker and leave the fun for all the others. Follow off the beaten path, you will have more fun.' Horace stopped for a moment thinking. He turned then, looking at Molly from inside his helm. "If they aren't going to follow us then we will have to follow them, after all there is six doors."
"Have you seen this? The doors?" Molly asked not sure as to what he meant by this. The man nodded, pushing past her an taking the lead in front of all of them.
"Off to an adventure." He sighed pushing past the two ghostly animals. "This way, and watch your step."
