Jerod Staudinger





Jerod smirked as he withdrew the rapier from the dead bandit's torso, cutting some of the dead man's clothing away to use as a rag, cleaning the blood off his blade before returning it to its sheath. The newcomer swordsman was a deft hand with his blade of choice, he had to acknowledge that much, but with the bandits routing, that pretty much solved this whole problem. The one that the one playing at being a hero caused in the first place by trying to take on an entire bandit group on her own. Shaking his head at the thought, he had nothing else to say for now, regrouping with the others in the meantime. It seemed they would be making a detour to this woman's home, lovely, perhaps she could explain herself there then.




Jerod had found himself a spot to sit that wasn't just a dirty patch while he went about cleaning his sword properly, when Keerin decided to approach both him and this Sordan fellow about the work they did on the bandit group. Raising an eyebrow, he waited for her to say her piece, sighing audibly when she went on about him being a Lord of House Staudinger. No, no, damn it, he would not have her just prancing about, dead panning about him being related to a noble house. "No, none of that Lord nonsense. I'm a sellsword, remember? Jerod, that is it. No Lord Jerod, no of House Staudinger. Just bloody Jerod, got it, dear?"

Besides the throw back to his earlier sarcastic remark towards her when she mouthed off about his rather infamous exploits prior to leaving his family for what he thought was for good, he kept his focus on his blade. Once he held it up to the sunlight and, satisfied with its state for now, pricked his finger on the blade, drawing blood with the weapon before resheathing it. His tone was rather hard to read, but given what he said, his opinion of the swordswoman was fairly low at the moment, any inherent skill aside. "Stopping a war while helping some damn fool playing at hero stop bandits, strictly on the side of course. Hope you lot are quicker on the draw for plans, though, I'm not getting paid to be a tactician yet."

Or is he?
Might as well spare you the wait on the inevitable question, then, eh?
Hmm, I could definitely dig this. Perhaps a Krieg Quartermaster? (Aka, their version of a medic, though taken to the typical level Krieg takes things.) Otherwise, a Krieg line soldier would be fine, or someone else completely, I'm flexible. Lot of interesting stuff to be had from the Guard, sure as sure.
I'm about to teach everyone a valuable lesson about the forces of Chaos :3 (Those that are OUTSIDE of the vehicles, that is.)


A Krieger in danger of dying? Sounds like a perfect time for him.

Jerod had to give credit for the bandit refusing to simply keel over and die, even if he would have much preferred that the axe wielding brute had simply done so. The slow, heavy wide swing the sellsword didn't even bother interfering with, neither to parry or deflect, instead stepping backwards, just enough to avoid its swing, and proceeded to dance forwards again, moving deftly as the bandit attempted to crowd and remove the newcomer to their group from the situation completely. As he crossed the gap, he noted the swordsman had quickly ducked in close, countering a feint and opening up with an attack of his own, which left Jerod with two options really. Peel off, assuming the Bandit was dead, and assist in mop up, or make sure the problem was resolved. There was only one real answer to that, one that was worth pursuing at any rate.

Not bothering with a battlecry, yelling, or generally being loud and boisterous with his own addition to the assault, he thrusted upwards, aiming to pierce the bandit's flesh just below the ribcage and spear upwards. He always found that, when feasible, it was less work to avoid the ribs than it was to brute force between them. Sure, he could do the latter if the need arose, but he preferred to only expend his energy when necessary. That, and the upwards motion would mitigate any potential problem with over penetrating and hitting the other swordsman.
