The sounds of footsteps coming up from his side made Kaze turn with one mighty fist cocked back. An aura of doom surrounded him when Vani observed him and the potential oncoming strike. But the elf spoke, which got a puff of vapor from the lizardmans nose. [color=crimson]"Fine, try to keep up."[/color] He said, this wasn't a fun situation, this was a serious time so it required him to be very serious.

More footsteps, but the armored elf intervened, kicking the mace wielding soldier before stabbing him in the chest. Well that's what a longsword was designed for after all, thrusting through armor. A flick of Kaze's foot got the mace up into his palm before he launched it down the street, pelting some poor fool in the back with the chunk of metal and wood. But now the pair was off, Vani with his electrically charged shield, and Kaze lowering his shoulder, becoming a living battering ram.

Vani's charge seemed to explode on impact with someone, sending them flying. Kaze's own shoulder knocked aside a beefy half-orc in field plate armor. Sending the green-skin tumbling into rubble as they moved. As the moved he heard a softer pitter patter of feet behind, well that was where most of his armor was so he wasn't particularly worried.

They did come to a crossroads though, getting him to skid to a stop. Left, mercenaries out for blood. Right, Imperial soldiers out for blood. Center, a big ol' church that was a potential ambush. Behind, confused adventurer's possibly out for blood and a small martial arts girl judging by her build and clothes. Inhaling deeply he centered himself. [color=crimson]"Iron Body. Tranquil Mind."[/color] He said, a glow engulfed him before his body gleamed with a rainbow of colors that were just barely visible on his white hide. His eyes had a strange purple sheen to them instead of that dull gray.

Iron Body had doubled his physical defenses, a basic ability that had done him wonders in the past. Tranquil Mind had made it so low level psionic spells wouldn't work, and higher leveled ones effects were shorter. He had chosen the center path, the church. With his small preparations set he plowed ahead into the gaping cavern that was the church's main entrance. He was fully expecting to be pepper with spells or arrows or something, which is why he went first.
