[@PaulHaynek][@AzureKnight][@Crowvette] [color=ed145b][b]Skarsneek of the Red Hill[/b][/color] [color=ed145b]"Hmm, feeling a lot better now."[/color] Skarsneek said as the fairy strained herself to do a final spell for the benefit of everyone. Not exactly wise since it'll just make her vulnerable. Still, that it managed to affect the villagers was something he certainly isn't going to deny that it was helpful. Support was at least on their side for now. Scooping the fairy gingerly with both of his hands before passing her to Shizuka. [color=ed145b]"Here, she wanted you to carry her."[/color] Skarsneek nonplussed said as he packed his weapons together. "Well, if you want to decorate using Varjan corpses, do it in front of their base. Scares and rattle them, after all, that's what they all say about us monsters anyways. So might as well take advantage of it." He placed a hand on Io shoulder at her comment. [color=ed145b]"Just don't do it too often, otherwise they'll stop surrendering and start fighting to the death."[/color] Skarsneek pointed out after a moment of thought. As they walked back, Skarsneek looked towards a certain direction for a moment before deciding against it. He just wants to go home. --- Once he was back with everyone, Skarsneek waved lazily as towards Takeshi and...another person. [color=ed145b]"Hey, you betcha! We took care of all the Varjan. Even bag this guy called Na'Kratz or something."[/color] Skarsneek played it off with a smile and a thumbs-up. "Ports open, and we can put the refugees over there. If they want to." Hearing the back and forth, Skarsneek inclined his head at the sentiment of rest. [color=ed145b]"Yea, we'll need some time to rest. Sharpen ourselves and get some final preparations. Don't worry, if the Varjans didn't kill him on the spot, they won't be killing him anytime soon."[/color] [color=ed145b]"Probably wanted to 'convince' him to join the Varjans. Not standard tactics but there's precedence. That's how they managed to grow so fast over the years too. So we got some time, they'll need to reorganized too since they lost the momentum."[/color] Skarsneek extrapolated further to Takeshi, giving him a slight insight to their enemies and calming him down. Granted, he left out the details they might stop being sweet and start being really mean if Takeshi father kept being stubborn in resisting them. Skarsneek however stopped one foot away from Reveul, looking at the man as he studied him up and down. [color=ed145b]"Also, who [i]are[/i] you?"[/color] Skarsneek asked with a raised brow, he don't recall meeting this person before. Afterall, he definitely would've remembered. Considering this was a Varjan. --- [color=f7941d][b]Gringor of the Ironhide Tribe[/b][/color] [color=f7941d][b]Patient.[/b][/color] Gringor said in between strikes, missing the air as he slowly figured out what's going on. [color=f7941d]"Don't worry, you get joke soon."[/color] Gringor swung his weapon once, then twice. Well, as that monk said, does what he do best. At the last moment once he got closed, Gringor swung his weapon horizontally in an obvious manner. Only with one major difference, he let go at its apex. The axe spun wildly, forcing the mercenary to either dodge or deflect. That was a distraction, as Gringor swiftly charged forward and tackled the man in a crushing bear hug. Dragging the two down into the mud for a fistfight even as he landed a few jabs into the liver before landing into the solid ground. Once there, Gringor tightened his grip and raised the mercenary in his grasp before slamming the latter down into the ground again. On and on, he would continue the process until either the man succumbs or pass out.
