[color=abcf29]‘Oh, right.’[/color] Viridia blinked but then acknowledged Titania’s mention of healing, walking forward to let herself be healed. [color=abcf29]‘Th-thank you,’[/color] she said, with considerable hesitance.

[color=faf173]‘It was our pleasure!’[/color] Osmund announced proudly to Isolde’s thanks. [color=faf173]‘Keeping this country’s population safe is what Knights like me are for!’[/color] he called, and then there was Aldo’s call and that. Aldo hurried to get past Isolde and Kergin, and then prepared to make a shadowy blow to anyone who came to attack Isolde from the other side.

[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krXv4PMpiFc]Then Kara jumped the wall out of basically nowhere[/url] and went to talk to Titania and declared herself an ally without them having any input. 

[center][i]Kara joined the party![/i][/center]

And then the Fighter that was intending to bash into Isolde and Kergin suddenly got stopped by another wyvern diving down and bruising the Fighter into the ground before throwing him off into the wall of a house. This caused the two Soldiers that were on the way to stagger back and question their own attack-plan, no worries about them for a bit. One of the seemingly enemies then jumped onto the wyvern and then shouted to what the Manakete just had said straight across the rest of the people present. Looks like this guy was an ally as well?

[center][i]Servus joined the party?![/i][/center]

At the very least Osmund and Viridia blinked in surprise to Kara’s appearance, but today seemed to be a wellspring of weirdness for today. They did overhear that Titania had the Fire Emblem. Osmund raised an eyebrow, looking at Titania, while Viridia’s narrowed in shock for a slight while. The thing that Jehanna had invaded Grado for was… so close to her…

Then was Marwood’s call, who asked them for help, then gave his commands, and then finally reassured that he had, in fact, been asking them for help. Osmund’s expression steeled, and a smile crossed his lips. 

[color=faf173]‘You are asking me if I wish to help protect your band? Hoho…’[/color] He clutched his lance, stood proud, and stood straight. [color=faf173]‘I am Knight Osmund of Grado! If I can serve my duty by being your shield, then let me serve! There may be a use for me suiting up in this armour yet!’[/color] So he said, proud and ready.

The girl Soldier, however, was more hesitant, protective in her body-language.

[color=abcf29]‘But I’m-’[/color] she started, but she was interrupted by a large metal hand landing with a heavy hit on her shoulder, startling her.

[color=faf173]‘She’s an honorary Grado militia! I assure you of her reliability!’[/color] Osmund said, smiling widely. She turned and looked at him with a shocked stare, but then looked over Titania, and to Marwood… and she made her decision.

[color=abcf29]‘… Right!’[/color] Not like she had anywhere else to go, did she? She looked rather awkward about this, but she now had a degree of resolution. [color=abcf29]‘I’m Viridia! I won’t disappoint you!’[/color]

[hider=Osmund][b]Name:[/b] Osmund
[b]Appearance:[/b] [url=http://i.imgur.com/SJk02Ve.jpg][img]http://i.imgur.com/SJk02Vel.jpg[/img][/url]
[b]Apparent Age:[/b] Adult man.
[b]Gender:[/b] Male
[b]Nation:[/b] Grado
[b]Class:[/b] Knight
[b]Weapon Mastery:[/b] Lance: E
[b]Level:[/b] 2
[b]Background:[/b] Osmund is an example of how most of the Grado army looks like when Jehanna mercenaries kept stealing all the experience from the actual troops of Grado. Osmund was a proud knight of Grado, willing and desiring to protect his nation. It was never his true calling, so when he returned home he worked part-time on a farm and full-time on his bakery while also serving as a backup knight of Grado for when the need should arise. Thing is, last time Grado needed his services was years ago, and the muscle memory has long since dwindled and disappeared and the basic training rendered a forgotten memory from a long time ago. However, now that Grado is threatened for real, Osmund put on the old armor and he looks as intimidating as ever…
[b]Equipment and Items:[/b] Iron Lance, Vulnerary, Antitoxin
[b]Personality:[/b] Osmund is serious, but not in the kind of way that makes you take him serious. His passive glare and giant size makes any regular person feel intimidated, and he carries himself like the ultimate veteran that nobody could conceivably match. He’s also really loud and proud, and not afraid to shout out challenges or declare (in a dramatic fashion that belongs in fiction) how he’s going to defend those around him and how his enemy could never defeat him and how he’ll fight alongside his allies. This all shields the dufos he really is. Osmund is unbearably clumsy, unskilled and has probably felled the most of his kill-count by falling onto his opponent. Yet he continues trying, willing to try to get over his lack of abilities, for what it is worth. 
[b]Ability Assessment:[/b] His lack of skill is testimony for how long it was since Osmund truly trained or actually fought against anything. His ditzy style looks absolutely dreadful, no hint of a combat skill as far as the eye can see, no speed or capability to wield that lance he’s hefting. … However. Osmund is large, very large, and so is the armor he’s wearing. His intimidating aura emanates like he’s an invincible warrior, his body and his armor so tough that for most enemies he probably is invincible. Also, the strength in those arms are the real thing, should he hit even once with a nicely timed thrust of his lance, whatever he hits is going to suffer a blow of considerable power. The strength in those arms is the real deal, even if he needs to practice actually hitting anything with it.

+Strength
--Skill
-Speed
++Defence

[b]Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other:[/b] Osmund is probably the best chef you’ve ever met. If you let him cook for you, regardless of what ingredients you give him, he’ll most likely be able to provide something that makes you starve for more. Also, when it comes to being a farmer or predicting the weather or handling animals or cleaning a house, Osmund is a know it all. Which is really annoying sometimes due to how extremely incompetent he is with a lance. Still, there should be a multitude of ways to use him, and he will miss less and less as he grows in skill.
There seems to be a secret to why his armour is so sturdy. He’d tell you, but every time he tries he’s interrupted by [i]something[/i].

[hider=Viridia][b]Name:[/b] Viridia
[b]Appearance:[/b] [url=http://i.imgur.com/qbuNkLC.jpg][img]http://i.imgur.com/qbuNkLCl.jpg[/img][/url]
[b]Apparent Age:[/b] Late teenager.
[b]Gender:[/b] Female
[b]Nation:[/b] Jehanna
[b]Class:[/b] Soldier
[b]Weapon Mastery:[/b] Lance: D
[b]Level:[/b] 3
[b]Background:[/b] A soldier of Jehanna eager to attempt to please her family. Because Grado needs so much help so often, it is practically staple to send young warriors to Grado in order to train them, and Viridia being the daughter of a famous hero, she was sent there first to prove her worth. Having spent a couple of years here defending people from monsters with fellow Jehannan soldiers, Viridia took quite the liking to the people of Grado. Which is of course why she now has so much trouble with the orders to subdue the nation. Guilds left and right take this as an offer to attack villages at random, laying waste to the Grado Empire, making Viridia feel more and more conflicted… and then this situation in the town of Grado Keep where she met Osmund and the rest. From here on out, her life would take a new direction.
[b]Equipment and Items:[/b] Iron Lance
[b]Personality:[/b] Straight-faced and serious, yet naïve and righteous. With the weight of being the daughter of a famous mercenary constantly hanging over her head, her father’s overblown stories of might and heroism echoing through her mind Viridia does everything she can to try to match up to this legacy she holds. Because of this, she feels she has to act like a hero at any time she can, to protect citizens from those who are in the wrong and such, regardless of her chance of success when doing so. She can be stubborn, even act foolish even when she’s intelligent enough to know that she is acting foolishly, but it is all to fit the individual whom she has formed as her ideal within her mind, and she does not want to stop striving for that ideal…!
[b]Ability Assessment:[/b] Skilled, steady and noticeably strong, she is the soldier that soldiers should be. Her palate of abilities, from her defense to her skill to her strength, is well balanced and leaves no particular gaps as she does exactly as she’s trained to do in a fight. … Which leads to her greatest weakness. Viridia learned everything by the book, she has no natural skill to speak of. She is inexperienced, and the entity of her style is borrowed. This means that her style of combat is the archetypical fighting style of soldiers which even amateurs might find noticeably predictable. This may change as she gains experience, but as it is she’s a really, really predictable fighter.

+Jack-Of-All-Trades
-Predictable

[b]Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other:[/b] Having been born and raised in a desert nation, Viridia is absolutely taken with flowers. Green things, snowy mountains, living things. When confronted by nature’s beauty, she becomes dazed, blushing beautifully and has been known to stumble and become weak in her legs from merely smelling a wonderful flower. Things of beauty was limited to humans and architecture in Jehanna, so these wonders work wonders on Viridia, even now that she’s experienced them for a while. Viridia is also known for doing a rather excessive amount of strength-training and challenging those she considers stronger than herself in order to grow in strength to be able to one day match her father.
Also, like… the Fire Emblem is RIGHT THERE! What if Sion’s right? This could be her golden opportunity… But no! These people saved her, and Jehanna’s terrible! She can’t betray them! But, oooh… … … So, she will never [i]actually[/i] betray you all (unless PCs encourage her), but these thoughts keep her up at night occasionally.

[color=607196]‘Right. I’ll remind we need to get out of here,’[/color] Aldo said with a bit of a frown. It got a bunch more crowded all of a sudden.

So. The scenery is relatively the same as last post, but a bunch more units to play with. Conversation and commands are free to give, actions cost more.
