Inser decides to practice using daggers. He spends the whole day practicing.
(Add "Daggers (?)" to skills)
Aile:
"In the meantime...wait, they're using my people's temple as your base?!"
"
We got permission!" says the soldier defensively.
Salden meanwhile leaves and finds his way back to the namu. He focuses and
using no power, makes the namu sink into the ground until only two spans of it is sticking above the surface.
He then wanders around the woods, calling out.
He finds no-one.
Mier explains.
The alchemist claps Mier on the shoulder and says, "
Well, I suppose there's nothing left to do but move to a place with friendlier skies, and markets!"
He then bustles around packing his stuff. He tells Mier that if he wants to follow, he should be here by tomorrow morning.
Mier heads towards the temple, and notices the rather unmissable legion of soldiers, and the confrontation at the entrance to the building. The two men, of the red scale squad, seem to be both cringing and scowling at the other person, presumably the leader of the blue squad and who has a slim form, short-cropped hair that has an unnatural pale blue color.
The men of the red scales finally stand aside, and the woman marches in.
Shortly afterwards, some red scale men are evicted by the looks of their faces, heading towards the east exit of the forest.
Trendam raises a palm. The man looks shifty, not meeting Trendam's eyes, and not acknowledging him either. He hesitates, then with a cry runs away.
Thoki talks to one of the new soldiers, with a blue bolt breaking another blue bolt on each of their shields. The man glares straight ahead, rigid, and barks,
"
We Are Relieving The Red Dragon Squad Of Their Operations And Otherwise Taking Over, Sir!"
Kaelan overhears another man asking a soldier, who barks an answer that everyone in the square could surely hear.
