Having finished a short talk with Tia, Coaroo decides to continue further down the road. Looking into a nearby shop, he waves at the owner and holds up two fingers as he smiles. The owner nods back, gathering up some black and spotted cloth. As Coaroo continues walking, he takes off his outer cape and looks at the bag on his side that holds a second.
"Hopefully I wont need two more made, but that's what I pay him for, isn't it?" Coaroo smiles. "Hopefully I wont blow through too many protectives either."
Turning the corner of a building, Coaroo begins to walk the hundred or so feet to the graveyard entrance. Pulling the cape off his back, Coaroo holds it in his left hand instead of his dagger, which is still sheathed on his side. As he nears the entrance, Coaroo smells the air, looking about for anything unusual. Looking over his shoulder, he slowly turns a circle to see if anyone is watching him as he takes deep, even breaths. Coaroo turns his sword in circles in his right hand to loosen his wrist as he looks, and a look of anticipation crosses his face.

Coaroo steps into the graveyard a few steps... a few more... Constantly on edge, but attempting not to look threatening, he holds his sword low to the ground. Finally seeing movement, Coaroo watches the small skeleton rise from the ground, but does not attack it. Still acting in a non-threatening way, Coaroo continues forward, noticing the undead doesn't attack. Coaroo looks forward to see more rising, and he clears his throat, ready to try a voice command on them. Before he can try, though, the skeleton turns and destroys Coaroo's magic armor. Growling at his stupidity at being flanked, Coaroo backs up a step and hits the skeleton twice in succession. The small undead falls as Coaroo looks back to the others. Using the same voice as he has when undead, Coaroo commands them. "Stop. Slay the dead."

Bramus watches from the far side of the graveyard, watching intently what Coaroo is doing. Bramus is on a knee, his sword and hand axe out in front of him. He leans a bit on his axe, and leans forward. Hearing Coaroo's comment he stands and walks toward him. Two skeletons turn toward Bramus and raise there weapons. With a quick and brutal swing of his axe, one skeleton disintegrates and the other is cut in to with a fluid back-hand slash from his sword. Walking just behind Coaroo on his left, Bramus rests his longsword on his shoulder and scans about. His axe is held loosely in his off hand.
"Are you alright Coaroo? I don't mind a occasional run through the graveyard, but..."
Looks into the mist off and the undead moving close.
"You looking for something?"

(Note to Bramus- please watch your timelines. This was said to happen just after the guildhouse and my talk with Tia, which places you as being in at least two if not three places at once now. If you're here, then you can't be in the guildhouse AND talking with Tia in the tavern also. If you want to leave one post to go to another, please post that you are so that timelines aren't posted. That having been said...)
Coaroo turns his head slightly, but doesn't turn his body toward Bramus. "It's a good thing I saw you coming. You should be careful about sneaking up on people." An arrow flies by Coaroo and Bramus, and Coaroo looks up to see a zombie archer reloading. Swiftly, Coaroo tosses his cape into the air and ducks slightly right. The cape slows the arrow enough to prevent it from piercing Coaroo's armor, and with a slight leap forward, Coaroo quickly dispatches the archer.
"I was just seeing if these things may still have an affinity toward me when not in my transform, and I knew it takes time for any greaters to go toward the edge of the graveyard, so I could test this bit alone. It has been confirmed that I hold no sway when in my normal state, so I was just wrapping things up."
Coaroo slowly begins backing up toward the gates. "Thank you for your concern, but I don't think your blade will help much here. The more living, the more we attract... I suggest we get beyond the gates now. They usually wont exceed the graveyard limits unless commanded to."

Coaroo turns to Bramus once beyond the gates. Sighing slightly to himself, he sheaths his sword and looks back to his ruined cape. "I think I'll go have a drink, but first I have to get another new cape. My test here is done, so I wont need to go back in today. Thank you for your assistance."
Coaroo growls as an arrow strikes his back. An archer near the graveyard wall reloads, but ceases fire as Coaroo and Bramus walk further out of range. Pulling the arrow from his armor, Coaroo turns again to Bramus.
"This wont take long to fix... Maybe I will see you back at the tavern." Coaroo looks toward the shops. "My capes should be ready by now. I will see you then."
Coaroo stops by the same shop again on his way back into town. Looking into the shop, the gentleman behind the counter shakes his head. Coaroo waves it off, saying he doesn't need it immediately, and continues to the tavern.

Bramus nods and looks back to the grave yard. He watches Coaroo walk off and makes a mental note. He smirks at a thought and after a final glance, heads toward the tavern.

Bramus branches off and walks toward the tavern, watching Coaroo leave. He stops and watches till he is out of view. He pulls out a paper and making a few notes, puts it back into his tavern. Bramus is almost inside the tavern when he nearly runs into Jaiden.
