((https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ke9wtbzGjCI is what I imagine us to be on the recieving end of if we're pitted against a training instructor. Also, Reserti has a distrust for Akras Authority figures after being stabbed.))
((Dexter feels exactly the same way about a certain team member. Not naming names hehe xd))

Do you know of the tactical urban warfare training sets?
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
We head for one of these

Danh shows Amadou how to use the MG on a mount (1XP to mounted arms).

The team breaks in groups of four, and practices movement, concealment and entries.
Once the team formations are reasonably functional, we try to do the same as a squad.



Guided by via radio by Reserti on the air, Ratodx and Vhan practice moving, avoiding detection and setting traps on an area patrolled by the other team members. They do not place actual traps, we're short on time to dismantle them.

The last hour is spent simulating the diplomatic first stage of the plan, then taking positions to assault a narrower passage to simulate the gate.

The team leaves the training centre moving to the airfield transporting as many people as possible on the trike and Reseti's eagle, to see if it can be done or if it'll require two trips.

[Just goes to show what Akras would do in the name of efficiency. No better way to learn than the real thing, after all! Plus they don't give a shit. Be grateful you did not have to learn with R&D. Dr. Vahlen will eat you up and take notes on the taste and texture of you and then run the waste she produced from eating you through a microscopic analyzer.]

Khaiden can be used for targeted demolitions if absolutely necessary, since Entropic magic breaks down, rusts, decays, etc. what its focused on. Nothing big, but still something to think about.

Mainly he'd be launching entropic bolts into enemies or just be a backup gun.

Or his presence could be used as a threat. Soul-eating Necromancer and all. Plus 1 rank in Intimidate.

Same with Dexter when it comes to the Entropic bolts/backup gun.

Between the Trikes and eagles, you've enough space to carry everyone in one go. Ratodx could sit on Rogen's shoulders.

Now's the time you meet your VTOL pilots, they recommend that you scarf down your lunch first.

Now's also the time for the Mechanic girl to introduce herself to her new squad she's getting attached to, since nobody else knows shit about how cars work and they'll need an attached technician to keep things from breaking down all the time.

Not a necromancer, but still uses entropic magic

"Uh... Hello, I'm Amadou Niassé, the current team leader.

Are you going to deploy with the squad? There might be a problem with that unless you can get us another vehicle.
There's a part of the plan where we might have to silently approach the village; it's a bit far so we tested if we could carry everybody at once. As it was, one of the smaller members had to go on the Orc's shoulders, there's no way we could take another person."

Vhan works on traps for the mission and practices with Ratodx on sneaking. Vhan also spends some time practicing with a pistol at the range and hopes to later use it for future missions.

Now's also the time for the Mechanic girl to introduce herself to her new squad she's getting attached to, since nobody else knows shit about how cars work and they'll need an attached technician to keep things from breaking down all the time.

"Hello I'm Vhan the team trapper. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Also Amadou I could sit on someone's shoulders too."

If it comes down to it, and we really need the space, you could just strap me to the top/bottom of the vehicle if need be.

Reviewing Helmet Instructions and cross-referencing the text as it appears in hemlet with the Terran Language primer.

Studying the language primer and even more Terran Science, expanding beyond electricity, first focusing on the Electromagnetic Spectrum, Light, and Lasers. Especially Lasers.

All the things Amadou said plus practice with using VisSpec Light Magic to make Vhan more stealthy and the both of them more stealthy at once.

"Solution. Have an elf sit on Regon's shoulders, Vhan on an elf's shoulders, and me on Danh's shoulders, assuming that you're driving."

"Pleasure to meetcha." Ratodx holds off from more as to hopefully help their new squadie from being overwhelmed in greetings.
