[Flying Dice]

Mina

You point out the obvious superiority and impartiality of judgement from a Paladin Court.

[3]

The officer responds simply, "The closest I know of is far to the East in their island fortress. I don't think there's a messenger alive today that could make it that far without dying."
____

Lei

Donning your pince-nez, you look around, surveying the cloaked figures, the soldiers, and one of the corpses.

[3]

A haze of some sort surrounds the four cloaked individuals. It appears to center on the tallest one.

[3]

Looking over the soldiers, you see a cloud of mixed, indistinct images.

[5]

As you look over the corpse, you briefly see an image of the young man smiling, his arms around a woman his age and a young child. A moment later, a broadsword joins the image, half-polished as if to indicate that he had as-yet undeveloped potential as a swordsman. Several seconds later, both shatter, leaving nothing more than a grey fog.
____

Talendir

Yawning, you move towards the now-crowded ramp, stopping near the collapsed tent. You sit back on your heels, glancing at the weapon of one of the fallen crossbowmen. You notice several his still-living comrades watching you carefully.
____

Derm

You continue to berate the Greenhaven soldiers, demanding an explanation for their actions.

[3]

One responds simply and crudely, "Fuck off, buddy."

Turning to the cloaked people, you ask them what business they have here.

[5]

The tallest answers in a tired voice, explaining that he and his apprentices had rented space in the tower from the lord of this land until two years ago, when Greenhaven forces attacked, forcing them out. He came here to observe the negotiations for the return of the tower and lands to their proper owners.
____

Aero

You try to look intimidating [3], but only manage 'constipated'.
____

Hedric

You accept the Greenhaven soldier's offer.

[5]

He hands you a zweihander and you slide it into the sheath on his back.

"Thanks, buddy. I pulled something a few minutes ago and can't raise my arms high enough to do that myself, and it was getting sort of awkward just standing around with a bare blade when the killing is done. Hey, if you're ever around Greenhaven again, stop by the barracks and go whoring or drinking with us some time." He tosses you a goldpiece with a jaunty grin.

Gain: 1 gold crown.
((Lose: Your self-respect.))
____

Sinterous

Taking out the scroll with the cornflower-blue rune seal, you start to examine it.

[4]

You recognize the rune! It roughly translates to "Mist-Veiled Senses". You think you can unseal it safely.
____

((What did you think I was talking about?  ))

[Tiruin]

* Tiruin is now relieved that the situation didn't present itself in an overtly...yeah...manner.

*Looks at Title*

[Dermonster]

"Lesse, two groups want the tower, and the holders managed to piss me off. Just what I was hoping to hear." With a snap of his fingers, Derm grinned malevolently.

"Congratulations, you managed to make me lose any sense of mercy I had. Negotiations over."

Engulf the Greenhaven soldiers in a cloud of localized Carbon Monoxide.


HP: 26/30
MP: 28/41

[Tiruin]

((C-carbon Monoxide?!

You can do that?! 

Hello slow and unnoticeable death. Unless you can hold it for long.  ))

[Skyrunner]

"I have a very very minor and outlandish suspicious that that ^_dumb wizard will be the death of us all," says Mina, and tries to look not scared at all as the wizard tries something lethal, going by his expression.

[Dermonster]

((I am a SORCEROR, thank you very much!))

[Caellath]

Talendir keeps watching the scene from a safe distance. Nothing important to do.

If needed, hold breath and move to a more windy place if/when carbon monoxide goes wild.

Spoiler: Talendir Exomedil - Soldier (click to show/hide)

Name: Talendir Exomedil
Stats:
-HP: 64/75
-MP: 0/0
-EXP: 41
Inventory:
-Broadsword
-Slightly Dented Heater Shield
-Chainmail (soaks 12 damage from mundane attacks, adds +4 damage to electrical effects on you)

Age: 20
Gender: Male
Description: Slightly tanned skin, honey-colored eyes and pitch-black hair in a ponytail, tied with a small tattered dark red ribbon which can get him some weird looks from anyone who notices it. Tall and strong, with well-defined although not exaggerated muscles. On top of his chainmail he usually wears a long-sleeved black jacket with an equally black vest and brown long-sleeved shirt underneath, plus an extra shirt under the chainmail. His pants are black and so are his resilient boots. Under his clothing, the skin over large areas of his body is riddled with scars, varying in size and shape. His hands are covered in bandages.
Class: Soldier
-Hardened: You take -3 damage from all physical attacks.
-Great Strength: You can use heavy weapons without penalty or increased danger from failures.
-Few Words: You aren’t much for talking with strangers, and are less likely to convince people you don’t know. (-1 to speech/persuasion rolls for strangers)
-Brother/Sisterhood: You bond closely with those around you, and are willing to risk yourself to defend them. (+1 to rolls in which you are acting to protect another party member)
Skills:
-Weaponmaster: You have an incredible depth of knowledge on weaponry, and gain +3 damage to all successful attacks with melee weapons.
-Squire History: You were once a squire for a knight, and can make small repairs to damaged weapons and armor. (+1 to repair rolls for medieval weapons/armor)
Background: Talendir was born to a simple family which desired a better future for its children. Turning into a knight meant having a shot at brighter days by renting your sword and skill to a lord, and because of that their small boy was sent to be a squire at a castle. He learned how to perform repairs in weaponry and armor as well as how to ride a horse, the last one as a hidden activity. The lord of the castle did not care for lowborn assistants nor was willing to allow the knight assigned to Talendir to teach the boy anything but the skills needed to keep the older man's armor clean and his weapons sharp.

Even in an environment were all opportunities seemed to be denied to him, he still strived to fulfill his and his parents' dream, working during the day and practicing whilst all the souls inside the property slept, focusing on melee after getting his ranged warfare capabilities up to a reasonable standard. His abilities grew exponentially as the result of dedication and training, and his self-inflicted crucible to become a knight finally ended at the young age of 16, when his skills with close-combat weaponry had become so unnervingly obvious he managed to soundly defeat a knight and was granted full knighthood by the lord of the castle by sheer interest in using him as a tool for war.

Talendir became known for his ease in wielding extremely weighty weaponry as it was no more complicated than swinging a dagger around, and capitalized on that fame with his heavy set of armor and weapons, usually carrying an enchanted Horseslayer greatlance and a very large steel round shield, both of which had part of his smithing efforts. His happiness would not last long, and he was expelled from knighthood at the age of 17 for reasons unknown during his first campaign. The events of that time caused him to take on a sour and occasionally jaded attitude as well as becoming hostile towards paladins.

He started to work as a mercenary soldier to survive, gaining experience through a couple of years before being attracted by the call for adventurers.

[Skyrunner]

((Well, they do say sorcerers are just wizards with low INT scores... :3 //referring to D&D))

[Dermonster]

>:/

[Caellath]

((Well, they do say sorcerers are just wizards with low INT scores... :3 //referring to D&D))

((Yeah.))

[Spinal_Taper]

Aero takes out the spear and takes out anyone going after Derm.

[Maxinum McDreich]

(Oh, I LOVE these Pince Nez. Also, wow, did my headcanon of Hedric nearly get REALLY warped XD)

Lei knelt down, holding onto the staff as she went. Her mind was hazy, she could barely think. She saw Derm start something, and it was hard for Lei to take the sides of the defenders anymore. They refused to explain their side of the story, they took these lands from the red soldiers, and they killed a young man with a young family.
''This is wrong. So very wrong. I was told to fight monsters... not see people kill people.'' She shook, involuntarily, from her tears, unable to hold them back. Whatever was to happen was to happen. Lei knew she could no longer influence the outcome.

Then she saw a Green soldier get Hedric to sheath his sword.
''Mister Derm, wait!'' She managed to shout. ''Some of them don't want to fight anymore!'' Lei pointed to the soldier in question, not just for Derm to see either.

[Dermonster]

"Well if he doesn't want to fight, he should run, or should have answered my question. By the by, hold your breath."

[Flying Dice]

Derm

You attempt to generate a localized cloud of carbon monoxide around the Greenhaven soldiers.

[2]

Several awkward moments pass as nothing happens. One of the longbowmen laughs at you.
____

Mina

You try to not look scared of Derm.

[6]

It isn't very difficult, considering the expression on his face. You smirk, trying to suppress laughter.
____

Talendir

Bored with the whole affair, you sit and watch.

Hefting your spear, you prepare to take down anyone attacking Derm.

((5... 4... 3... 2...))

[Dermonster]

"... Uh... give it a moment."

*Cough*

"Oh there we go! Hold on, wait oh dammit gimme a sec. I hit the wrong leyline."
