[quote=@Claw2k11] The Grand Marshal dismisses her. As soon as she leaves the stage, she can see that the guards have already been prepared for her by the Grand Marshal himself. The strong one is naturally a orc armored from head to toe in steel armor. The smart one was a knowledgeable high elf wearing regular magic resistant elven clothing, armed with a elven sword and a bow. The one good with directions was oddly a large gnoll wearing leather armor, armed with two broadswords. The one with good eyesight was a avian(eagle man), wearing leather armor as well and was armed with a longbow and two shortswords. And the recruit was a fresh human knight wearing steel armor and armed with a longsword and shield. "My lady, I believe we should go and search first where she was seen last, in the Death Marshes, if not, we could try and get the info out of the person who saw her last... Sssalivan." The high elf proposes to Maryvale. [/quote] "Examining the Death Marshes would likely be our best course of action. That way, we can also learn of any clues regarding the location of Darkstalker, too, or perhaps even recover the sword entirely. Two birds, one stone, as they say." She then addresses each member individualy. "Orc," she says, "you will be acting as the party's shield and sword - you will work to draw the attention of the enemies we face alongside myself" "Elve," she continues, slightly mispronouncing 'Elf', "you are our observer. You will keep a keen eye over the battle and support when necessary, though directing and advising us as a unit is your top priority." "Gnoll," Maryvale nods, "it will be your duty to guide us to our destinations. In battle, I'd like you to strike in powerful, brutal bursts - steamroller hit-and-run tactics." "Avian," directs Blood, "you will be positioned with the Elve a majority of the time. You will help with observing the battle, whilst also covering with arrow fire. If you deem it necessary, you may also engage up close, though try to keep your presence hidden from the enemy, if possible." "And lastly..." Blood's eyes rest on the recruit. She was shorter than him in stature, though he could feel the strength contained behind her armour. Her eyes, though he can't see them, were piercing into him like needles. "I want you to learn. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity - as our wildcard, you have the power to assign yourself as you see fit in battle. It is the greatest responsibility, so make sure you don't mess it up." Looking over all of them, Maryvale folds her arms. "Finally, I want your names and why you're here."
