[@Hammerman][@AzureKnight][@PaulHaynek] [color=ed145b][b]Skarsneek of the Red Hill[/b][/color] [color=ed145b]"It's totally [i]them[/i], I mean, ain't it obvious?"[/color] Skarsneek said with a shrug of both shoulders together. He absolutely had no idea who she was talking about but whatever floats her boat. [color=ed145b]"Hey now,"[/color] He waved his hand to Yurine when she stated she'll leave them alive so they can suffer longer, giving a feigned hurt look. [color=ed145b]"I'm not that insufferable."[/color] When Yurine said she can help out and explained the details, Skarsneek hummed with a furrowed brow before turning to Atsuha. [color=ed145b]"Want me to go?"[/color] He said but didn't push the issue, this was after all ultimately Atsuha decision. He trusted her to make the decision, the only thing he can do is offer himself. --- [@PaulHaynek][@The Irish Tree][@Crowvette][@Rezod92][@Enkryption] [color=f7941d][b]Gringor of the Ironhide Tribe[/b][/color] Grunting as he tested his fingers and muscles by flexing it, it seems that there was no longer any damage left that could impede his performance. When he turned to Io and stood over her, giving the latter an eyeful of his chest, Gringor nodded in appreciation for her work. Quickly as that came, Gringor walked over to Kerry and past her before collecting back his axe. A quick inspection revealed that nothing major happened to it. Indeed, this was what he was far more used to. A spear is too light, this was just right. Flicking it around and resting it his shoulder as Shizuka explained his shortcoming, he huffed before commenting. [color=f7941d]"Fight the way you train."[/color] For him, this wasn't just a duel, it was training. Nothing better than live fighting, and he already learned a lot. [color=f7941d][i]Still, it wasn't enough.[/i][/color] Gringor's face ticked at that, he needed to find some decent armor and get stronger. With that and being dismissed, he took a quick glance at the disappearing spellwork that was beyond his knowledge and moved ahead. Seemed like not much time passed despite the fact that it felt much longer inside. When Ayu came and asked about their training, Gringor responded curtly.[color=f7941d] "Good. Hard, worth fighting again."[/color] During that interim, another presence made themself known as a woman warrior rode on a horse and let them known that their under-boss was missing. That snapped him into place, Takeshi had a fight coming to him? He had no time to waste, he'll miss it all then. Not caring about the waking Alice, Gringor had his own way to find them. Taking a sniff on the air for a moment before getting onto all four like a dog, Gringor took in the scent. [color=f7941d][i]Sticky, murky, web. Spider lady. [/i][/color] Gringor trudged along, continuing this spectacle despite everyone looking him like a madman. [color=f7941d][i]Decay, slight blood, acrid and murky too. Dead lady.[/i][/color] He moved to the road and continued on. [color=f7941d][i]Paper, ink, herbs. Rabbit lady.[/i][/color] One caught his attention as he stopped for a moment in a growl and spat to the side. [color=f7941d][i]Goblin.[/i][/color] Ignoring that, he finally caught the scent he wanted. Steel, blood, and mushrooms. [color=f7941d][i]Underboss.[/i][/color] Seems like all five traveled together, makes it easier. With that, he went straight from all fours into a light jog, his nose constantly on the lookout for any change. Ayu would've been the only one to note that Gringor was headed the same path that Takeshi and the rest had left since she saw them leave. It was up to Kikyo to follow or continue on with Alice. Gringor was already on the prowl.
