@DaKaptin @Uriel1339 @Wincent With Etrigen's decission to leave Kaija and Ajax behind, the expidition group was decided. Dr. Kour Arcadia would lead; Etrigen the warrior, Kurin the dark mage, Zamehir the white mage, and Sur'tr the artisan into the Dragon Forest. "With that decide," Archwin'd spoke. "You five will venture out into the wilds and learn the cause of the Bloodtail's behavior and anything else of signifigance. Etrigen, I will honor your decision to keep your children from harm. However..." Next Calypsa spoke up, he face unhappy. "While the gardeners champion, Kythriel's student, and at Two Seers, the Hunter's association is not represented. This effects all of us. I demand a hunter accompany this expedition. I can have a squad supplied and ready in but a moment." A squad consisted on three or four hunters. Each had training in stealth, survival, and first aid. Some squads were larger, some hunted alone, but all began as a team. "We need every hand to keep watch on the river. Feeding and monitoring the Saurids effect us all as well." Archwin'd responded. "Then have some of your Guardians take up post. All they do it seems in abuse their power and help eldery cross the fields." "While that's unaccurate, I do see your point. Maybe Captain Argent just volunteered. Who did you have in mind?" OOC: if you have anything else to ask The Council or the Harlequins feel free to do so. Other than that, prepare for the journey. For we leave at dawn! Next day starts soon.
DalRan listened intently to him, even though the voice of the speaker was ridiculous at times. He looked at the bracelet, it was surprisingly light and small, given what he thought it would do. "Sounds simple enough, watch the doctor and find your gift, how can this one go wrong? Now, where is my equipment?" He got up, most of the pain gone, and only a little sore in some spots.
"Ugh, why does everything have a reason behind it? Im too old for needing a reason anymore. I did what I did, because thats what I wanted to do. So I saved the kid, better question is: why wouldn't I? He never caused any trouble to me and occasionally gave me a conversation. Now why would, uh, Nito? Yes, Nito. The one trying to hide himself. Why was he helping keeping Dalran alive? Is he also going to gain some kind of mystical powers as well?" Dunvel's tone sounded annoyed, but still had the obnoxious excited voice. Revealing he knew about Nito was on purpose, hopefully to remind the Harlequins that they are just Eldar too. No matter what power the laughing god gives to them. He thought it was strange that he never looked to much into the Harlequins kind, Dunvel was always smiling.
<Dr. Kour Arcadia> 'Problematic? He was cooperating, oh the minds of the young ones.' He thought to himself and simply nodded to the man who could have been very easily executed, would it had been not for his performed duties. However. His mind already was on the trip ahead. "We are not in need of additional warriors, hunters, slayers, murderers, combatants, gladiators or however you may call individuals that are good with weapons. We will succeed, so can we just begone with it, or are you not done testing your might, oh almighty captain?" The Doctor challenged Argent, knowing that he is only attempting to play alpha male. A fooolish behavior, even more primitive than the saurids. The provocation alone should be enough to earlier or later send a squad after the expedition anyhow, so they would gain their protection and the small-minded captain would do his duty after all. Jealousy was an ugly disease.
- Kaija As they discussed what was need from them for the coming expidition, Kaija had stormed out of the meeting hall. Her anger towards her father renewed. 'How dare he treat me like that. I'm a full member of our race! Beyond the words or demands of any sire. Ajax is still young, but he is not babe crying in his crib, he hasn't been for a long time. I'm going! With or without his say.' She thought aloud. Walking past a crowed outside the archway. The harlequin from before had either gone or blended into the crowd by this time. Those curious to see who would be going on the voyage. More nosey individuals would have heard the Enraged huntress. Kaija would go blow off some steam at the firing range near the hunter headquarters. - Ajax Unlike his sister, Ajax wasn't quick to anger. He was dissapointed not to go, but he was also aware of the good he could do for the new arrangement with the massing Saurids. Mostly he was worried for Zamehir. He had grown confident and definitely more powerful over the years. But he was still Ajax's friend and he would be missed. Waiting for a chance to speak, Ajax addressed he fellow student. "Zamehir, why are you going? You've never expressed much interest in the Dragons. Why the sudden change?" @PorOborosCain
@Wincent The night would come as it always did. Archwin'd met with Kurin, speaking of what would become of each other while they were apart. Kythriel and Sur'tr are with in the village forge, working with the other artificers on equipped for the coming journey. @E-50_Panzer DalRan was returned his belongings and left with Nito, DJ, and @Xaphen Dunvel to return to the village proper. DalRan would need to speak with Calypsa about joining her hunter squad that would be taking part in the expedition. Interestingly enough, he would find Kaija there for the very same reason. @DaKaptin Captain Argent has received his orders to "supervise" the defense of the river from the encroaching Saurid Bloodtails. They were fed Megadon meat and appeared more willing to accept the Exodite's aid. Naturally they were still suspicious and their leader had yet to show himself, but all would change in time. The Captain however was not pleased. They could fluff up his assignment as much as they wanted, he knew this was beneath him. "Etrigen! This is your doing. Making a fool of me and deceiving the council with your lies! I will have my satisfaction!" Elsewhere, @Uriel1339 Sitting in his residents, preparing in his own way, Dr. Kour would hear a knocking at his door. A familiar face of Praetor stood smiling as he always seemed to be. How he had walked around unnoticed by the councilors or guards was anyone's guess.
<Dr. Kour Arcadia> He rolled his eyes at the sight of the imitator and just let him in, getting back to his packing. As expected from him it was efficient and more lightly than heavy, packing only the necessity but determining what is and what is not... That was the difficulty here. Luckily some devices he could create a new to make more compact versions of them or multiple-in-one tools, such as a recent folding device that had combat knife, syringe and other components together. Surely it would make a good travelling tool. Arcadia acted almost as if Praetor never appeared, letting the child of the laughing god open the act.
