[Talarion]

Kazen rolled out of his bed, surprised. Next to him, Valkar woke up with a small cry. "It's fine, girl, calm down..." He said to soothe the bird, even though his eyes were wide himself. He raised his arm and whistled through his teeth, causing the well-trained companion to hop off her perch, quickly flapping over to the upraised arm, landing with care on his bare arm, clutching only tight enough to stay there. "There we go..." His eyes narrowed as he picked up his crimson cloak, throwing it over his shoulder, before marching to the door, throwing it open and stepping into the back alley. Valkar immediately took to the skies, giving him freedom of movement, causing him to throw his cloak over his shoulders, clasping it around his neck, but leaving the hood down, for now. He moved forward to the market district, with intent to evacuate civillians.

[Ultimuh]

Cor had been up all night working in his smithy when he suddenly heard a loud noise.
He took a quick look outside and uttered loud curses, something along the lines of Kain's mother.
He grabbed one of the blades hanging along the walls in his smithy, he had no time to check what kind it was or how durable it was. Running as fast as his Dwarven feet could manage he ran towards the market district.

Turn 2 -  Powerful Spirits, Weak Prayers, and Puny Swords
South Gate Barracks, Training Grounds
Sinclair (Sinpwn)
You rush out into the training grounds finding a battle-axe wielding minotaur fighting four guards with three lying on the ground slowly bleeding out. With a flourish you pull the Spirit Scroll from your back pocket, and begin the ritual required to summon forth a soul of the dead. [Power: 10+1 = 11; Control: 5*] Before you a thick black forms, and in matter of seconds forms into the shape of large knight who places his sword against the ground, and says "Master, what be the task you have summoned for?"

Spoiler: Note (click to show/hide)

*Your power roll is insane, and yes it indeed did go over 10, because of your bonus meaning that the spirit standing in front of you is very powerful. If you wish to learn more check his spoiler.

Wellrock Crimson (Tersr)
Drawing your sword you charge forth out into the training grounds, and charge the Minotaur that stands ahead of you hoping to catch it off guard. [Awareness, Minotaur: 2; Accuracy: 5,6,6; Hits: 3x Glancing Hits; Damage: 3 (3x Glancing Hits = 1)] You quickly slash at him leaving three gashes across his arm, and then jump away from the Minotaur before he can manage to get a hold of you.

Mikaya (wolfchild)
You pull open your scroll, and slowly step out into the training grounds, and as your feet touch the ground spiritual power begins to awaken within you as you begin you prayer: [Power: 3; Control: 8] A light floods over each of your allies, and yourself, and shines brightly blinding the Minotaur, and your group before suddenly disappearing leaving behind shrouds of slightly glowing light on each of you companions.

Spoiler: Note (click to show/hide)

*You would have failed altogether, but your control saved your prayer, so now each of your allies in the training ground, and you have Weak Holy Shield on them for the duration of the mission though it won't protect you from the brunt of the damage it may well save your life.

Marketplace

Sonia (SeriousConcentrate)
You stand up, and dash out the door leading out into the alley, and rush down it into the market district, and [Luck: 10] manage to take two bags full of ritual supplies before the small gate protecting the marketplace blasts open, and several figures step through. [Spot: 4, Fail] You try to recognize what they are, but from this distance you can not tell. All you know is that you won't be able to leave without a fight, and you have about five minutes before they find you. You also spot a group of two watchmen leaading around twenty citizens to escape down a different path.

Spoiler: Notes (click to show/hide)

You have one turn to prepare up to three ritual circles before the fight though the spell they regard to will be random since you can't choose a specific spell unless it is imprinted in your mind. The civilians also have two turns until they are spotted, and you can stop them from being seen by attacking the group before then otherwise the civilians may not make it.

Point Gains:
-10 Karma Points (Now passed into the Evil Side of the Karma Meter.)

Kazen
You dash out after the mage who you shared the barracks with, but lose sight of him as you rush out into the marketplace evacuating citizens where you could. [Luck: 3] As the Marketplace gates are blown open you are standing right in front of the east gate, but are luckly thrown back, and over a fruit stand into a spot hidden from the invaders.

Cor Umbar (Ultimuh)
[Luck: 8] You grab a one of your finest Iron Long-swords without knowing it, and dash to the Marketplace in the hope of saving some of the fleeing civilians. You arrive there just after the gates are broken down, and hide behind [Luck: 5] a small produce shop, and realize you have only about ten minutes before they spot you.

[Sinpwn]

The dwarf grins and points to the minotaur. "Slaughter that beast, minion!" He begins making eldritch and obscene gestures, cursing the beast.

[Tersr]

While Sin is doing that run around the beast and strike it in the spine.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Is it possible to make the circles like traps, or glyphs in D&D where they activate when walked over? I'll write my action twice, once assuming that it's so and once assuming that it isn't.

Time to do what I do best, Sonia thought as she drew up two ritual circles and primed them. Once those were ready, she quickly made her way over to the watchmen and attempted to blend into the crowd by pulling her hood up and getting close to the center; the more bodies she had between herself and the invaders the better.

If not...

Sonia used her new materials as quickly as she could, forming three ritual circles on the ground. She immediately found a nearby hiding spot and waited for the targets to get close before activating them; she wasn't sure what the effects would be, but hopefully one of the three spells could stun or damage the invaders.

[Ultimuh]

Cor keeps hiding while trying to come up with some plan.
He have not yet spotted any civilians, but hopes that most have been evacuated already.
He will attempt to move along the alleys, in hopes to lose whoever might be following him.
If discovered too early tough, he will have to come up with another plan, fast.

[adwarf]

Your first assumption is correct, but instead of being walked overs it if they get close enough to it to trigger it.

[SeriousConcentrate]

All right, thanks. ^^^

[adwarf]

Spoiler: Runes (click to show/hide)

Runes are a form of magical trap, but instead of taking the user's Magical Power it takes it from the surrounding environment making it weaker than if you had cast the spell, but in this way you can layout numerous runes in an area, and set up a trap to severely weaken a far superior enemy. There are three types of runes you can make, and they are Destructive, Barrier, and Summoning each requires varying amounts of Ritual Supplies depending upon the strength, and duration of the Rune. Of course you can control neither of those as a Magi Trainee, and true control only comes when you select the Rune-master archetype which will allow you to control the duration, and strength of your spells.

Breakdown of the three types
Destructive -[/b] Destructive Runes are usually made to deal massive amounts of damage with one shot, and either kill, or weaken your opponent to the point where you can kill them. These Runes will require the least amount of Ritual Supplies, but will only be one shot, so if it misses that trap is now useless.

Barrier - Barrier Runes are made to slow down, or block your enemy from taking a specific path, and last for extended periods of time, and any damage they deal is just a bonus on top of its actual purpose. These runes will cost the most ritual supplies, but are the only runes that can be made for use before hand instead of being drawn when needed. but those made before head will require you to supply it some magical energy for it to be able to actually activate. (Don't carry pocketfuls of active Fire Wall Runes that is an easy way to get killed if one of them activates by accident.)

Summoning - Summoning Runes are made to even the odds when you are in a dire situation, and should only be used to save your life for these Runes while the most useful are the most volatile, and dangerous. They will cost about average among all other Runes, but take time to draw, and once activated if the circle is destroyed prematurely the Master of the Rune will receive extensive damage from the backlash of all that built up magical energy.

There you go Serious I thought this might help you since you seemed to really like Runes.

[Talarion]

Just curious, but can I actually communicate with Valkar/Animals, or is it just a primal attraction/understanding?

Kazen hissed slightly as he hit the ground, holding his head with one hand, his eye on Valkar up ahead. 'Good, She's okay for now...' He thought as he rolled into a crouch, and hid behind the fruit stand, absently taking an apple or two while he mulled over what to do now. He initiated a thought directed to Valkar, 'Valk, how many are there? What are they? I need information, and you're in a perfect position to help me out.' He smiled mentally and physically, waiting for the response from his companion and friend.

[adwarf]

You can communicate with  your Companion Animal by a mental link you developed for being together for, so long. So yes you can talk to Valkar through your mind, but with others you have a basic understanding.

[Talarion]

Fair enough. In that case... I pretty much have a flying security camera that can dive at 320 km/h >.> Time to edit my action.

[adwarf]

Fair enough. In that case... I pretty much have a flying security camera that can dive at 320 km/h >.> Time to edit my action.

Yep, but that flying security camera as you put it is very fragile, and has a very weak attack until you get around four, or five companion bonuses, or it Ranks up two to three times.

[Talarion]

Aye, well, I don't need physical power from Valk. She can chase down the runners... cause really, who can escape from a dive of that speed while injured?
