[quote=@Deide] [color=00a99d]"that said, Engelbert idea has merit. We are gonna rely on each other for the foreseeable future, so knowing what we can do is the least we should do. Let me reintroduce myself, i am Forbann Spiser,and if my height didn't give me away, i am an Oni"[/color] Deciding a demonstration would be best for the next part, he put an hand foward,and he Shaped his gauntlet, the metal rising in a stalk and petal blossoming in his best approximation of a rose,glittering in the flames and sometime lighting itself with the sickly glow of the curse residing within it. [color=00a99d]"I am a ferromancer,able to shape metal however i see fit.Unlike most ferromancer, i specialized in Cursed metal, and before you worry, it's harmless to anyone i don't wish harm to as long as i'm touching it[/color] Reshaping the metal rose back into the gauntlet, he continued [color=00a99d]"Much like Engelbard,i would do best when in the thick of it, though i'm more specialized for attrition fights than fast ones. Furthermore, i know curses and how to deal with them, even if i must admit my methods are...brutish, to say the least.[/color] [/quote] [quote=@Randomness] “I’ll say again, my name’s Fia. My specialty is sorcery. I am just in love with those who are born with the power to make the world however they want on a whim. So much so, I’ve made their power my own.” Fia chuckled, “I can do a little of everything, but my true specialty lies in the elements.” Fia let down the hand she was using to wave, so it lay horizontal with her palm up. From the center of her palm a pillar of fire erupted, almost touching the ceiling. It lasted only a moment before it was replaced with a ball of water, that froze. Finally the ball collapsed into itself forming a small black void, and then it disappeared all together. “Though, if I need to, I am pretty good with a rapier.” Fia finished her introduction. [/quote] [quote=@Remuri v2] Nanashi went back from the party with a different appearance. He is wearing an elegant black kimono perfectly match with his handsome facial feature along and a pony tail hairstyle. The bathroom is ready for other to use and he did clean it after his turn. [color=8493ca]"The house guardian wouldn't mind to use the house as long we maintain clean this shelter. It a bit angry to the elven woman for prying their stuff without it's permission. I too have guilt for going through the window but the spirit and I had already settle. Anyway. Who's turn for the bath? I prepared a hot water for the bath tub and will boil some water again for the other's turn."[/color] [/quote] [quote=@Izurich] With her part of the introduction done, Eve huffed as she went over to the trinkets that Roxas brought down. [color=d62524][i]Hmm...[/i][/color] Methodically, she performed a scrying spell on each of the items. [color=d62524][i]I see...[/i][/color] Nodding to herself, she made quick mental notes of her findings before turning toward the group. She'd wait until whoever was currently on the spotlight to finish their introduction before speaking, [color=d62524][b]"Everyone, please excuse my impudence, but may I take a moment of your time?"[/b][/color] She paused to let her words sink in before continuing, [color=d62524][b]"I've gathered what I could from these items, let me relay them to you."[/b][/color] First, Evelyn picked up the elven blade, [color=d62524][b]"This sword is part of a twin pair alongside that one above the fireplace. It's enchanted with runes to reinforce its durability, explaining its pristine state even after decades of abandonment. The traces of dried blood revealed that the wielder was an elven man who was three decades old by the time the blood was spilled."[/b][/color] She finished as she put the sword down. Second, she procured the gold brooch with an emerald gem slotted in it, [color=d62524][b]"This is an Arcane Focus, a trinket capable of improving various aspects of spellcasting. This one in particular is attuned to healing spells, enabling the caster to consume around half of the usual mana required for a specific spell. A great boon for any healers out there for certain."[/b][/color] She set the brooch back down before moving to the next item. Third, she held up the crystal-infused lamp, [color=d62524][b]"This, for a lack of better words, is simply a lamp, although powered by mana instead of heat. When infused with mana..."[/b][/color] Evelyn did exactly that to demonstrate, conducting a minor flow of mana from the environment into the lamp, causing it to illuminate, [color=d62524][b]"It'll shine, providing illumination. A simple yet useful item for countless situations."[/b][/color] The redhead shrugged lightly as she deactivated the lamp before returning it on the table. Finally, she gestured lightly to the rest of the items; the dagger, quiver, hairpin, and pendant, [color=d62524][b]"The rest are mundane objects, nothing outwardly notable about them, aside from any sentimental values, that is."[/b][/color] And thus concluded her reports. [/quote] [quote=@Visyn] After Evelyn scryed the items, she scooped them back up. She paused at the bottom of the stairs, jaw clenching and unclenching. Loud enough for everyone to hear, before she disappeared; [color=7bcdc8]"Roxas. Healer."[/color] She then moved upstairs to put everything back. Damin might have been right, why did she bring herself on this expedition. Once upstairs, she put the chest items back, the flier on the desk and put the pendant, draft and picture back in the bedroom. She didn't come back downstairs. [/quote] A lively lot, this little group. There's so many directions one's attention could be pulled to, if Engelbert wasn't used to splitting focus he'd probably be overwhelmed. On one side the tall ironclad showed a magnificent show of fine control, something he'd imagine would be a great boon for runic enchantment. A more competitive part of Engelbert wondered how'd he fare against the taller warrior, quickly coming to the conclusion that the matchup would be unfavorable without taking extreme measures. But there's no need for that, yes? Following after Forbann was the latest addition, a full-time sorceress with pretty decent power output backed by formidable flexibility. Well above the average mage, this one will fill the hole in their formation pretty nicely. Priority protection, then. Right after Gray and Vesemir. But there's no need to specifically mention that, part of him felt like this Fia Blackfire - Engelbert internally chuckled at the name - would be rather insufferable if he did. Right around then the foreigner came back out, clad in a set of exotic robe with steam still rising from his flushed skin. His pronounciation was awkward at times, but the fact that he speak the language at all was admirable. And... apparently the plumbing and bath was still operational? And in good shape, even. Engelbert himself wasn't interested much, but he could see a few faces perking up from the idea of a hot bath. [b][color=#4269E2]"With you by my side, Ser Forbann, we could take on an entire army! Pleased to work with you."[/color][/b] He offered an appreciative nod, moving on to the next soon after. [b][color=#4269E2]"And Lady Fia, why, you reminds me of an old friend. We'll be relying on you on all matter arcane, I was slightly worried for our lack of proper arcanist in our rank. This is shaping into an exciting adventure!"[/color][/b] The good mood continued a bit further, the youngest of the party confidently explaining about the discovered trinkets. She could even tell who that blood belonged to! Admittedly, some of the trinkets would actually be useful but knowing who the items belonged to... let's just say Engelbert was glad that it's being returned to where it belong despite the awkward silence left in the wake of Roxas' departure. The grumpy elf wouldn't break or throw it away out of spite, would she? [b][color=#4269E2]"Ahem. I suppose that could've went better. Thank you for the examination, Lady Evelyn. That was most enlightening."[/color][/b] Engelbert broke the silence, glancing around to find another distraction. He didn't have to look far, settling on the foreigner who seemed content watching everything unfold. [b][color=#4269E2]"Right, my good man, I dont believe I have caught your name? Do introduce yourself, we dont bite."[/color][/b] Another glance spotted a whole bunch of drenched hair and shirt and everything. Engelbert himself had largely dried, the enchantment of the armor repelled unwanted dirt and moisture in equal measure. [b][color=#4269E2]"Ah, you prepared the bath did you not? I believe some of us could make use of it. Thank you."[/color][/b] His gaze settled on, out of all people, Fia. Between the covered carriage and reaching shelter early enough, the initial group wasn't drenched nearly as bad as the sorceress who looked like she had waded through the river to get here. Must've gotten soggy all the way to the core, the poor lass. Magic or not, you could still get sick all the same.
