"Well, we do come from different backgrounds, different roles. I am a soldier, a specialized one, but still a soldier. A lot of my skills revolve around those duties." Tarentek commented as he observed Onyx's process for making the garment.

Seeing Onyx work reminded Tarentek of the equipment he was missing, though in his case, it was armor instead of clothing. "Now that I think about it, I need to gather up materials whenever I can. I wouldn't choose to wear a robe going into a fight. I had a set of armor, made from a few layers of leather with metal plates attached on top, something light enough to move in, but tough enough to provide some protection. It wouldn't protect against bullets, but it could stop a blade, and sometimes arrows. Unfortunately, the attack on Amman was so sudden, I didn't have time to get into my armor. It will take forever for me to get enough materials to make another set like it."

Once Harriet had finished with any business she desired to get through for the day, Meesei, Lorag, and the new guards headed with her to her room. It seemed natural enough to allow Harriet to sleep in her own bed, especially with the number of guards she now had, so Meesei doubted that it raised any particular suspicions with her.

Since she knew what to look for, Meesei could locate the hidden compartment, but she refrained from doing so just yet. Instead, she and the others started to go through the process of preparing for the night. They set up places for everyone to sleep, then spent over half an hour discussing their plan for the night. Meesei set up a schedule for who would be keeping watch, and when. She discussed with the others what to do if someone was found approaching the room depending upon how they were approaching. If they were simply walking up directly, the first reaction would simply be to tell them politely to move on their way and not to disturb Harriet. However, Meesei warned them not to let anyone get too close to them, as they might quickly draw a weapon. If someone approached with weapons drawn, or any other way that strongly suggested hostility, the plan would be to shout out and wake everyone as fast as possible. From there, Meesei could take over leading Harriet's defense, if she was not awake already.

It was only after finishing their planning that Meesei started to focus on the true reason she was present. She looked around the room, allowing a slight amount of curiosity to show on her face. "Actually, before we head to sleep, I believe I would like to look around for a few minutes." Meesei stated.

Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

It seemed that Ssarak's plan had not worked exactly as intended. Alaira had seemingly ignored his initial warning about the incoming attack, as she had not joined them in fighting the feral vampires. As such, she was now searching for the same foe Ssarak was trying to find. Fortunately, Darius seemed to have fared well against the ferals, which was not too surprising, considering that they were essentially behaving as mindless beasts. However, while the one Ssarak was searching for did not reveal himself so easily, he did have a clear line of sight from above on the feral that had set its sights on Alaira. He could have swept down down to eliminate it, but Alaira could deal with it just as well; she only needed a warning.

"Alaira, there is one behind you!" Ssarak shouted down to her before immediately shifting his focus back to his search. Visually, he could not locate his target, so he reached out with his mind instead. With a wide-area telepathy spell, he could feel the wards of his foe, and he could feel that they were wavering. Evidently, his use of his magic was taking a toll. Seeing an opportunity, Ssarak pressured the wards with stronger, more focused telepathy to finally break through. From there, it was a much simpler matter to get a sense of his direction by reading his thoughts. Ssarak could not exactly pinpoint him with his magic alone, but he did not need to. Once he had a direction, Ssarak banked towards it, then scanned the ground until he finally spotted his quary, or rather, the disturbances he was making in the grass. Now, since the invisibility was not completely perfect, Ssarak could see the distortions, giving him a definite spot to target.

Ssarak swept down low, gaining as much speed as he could without risking hurting himself upon landing. His target was starting to head into the forest, but Ssarak was able to catch up before the trees grew too dense to force a landing. Ssarak hit his target like a boulder, smashing him into the ground hard enough to give him a concussion at the very minimum, without needing to use his weapon. His invisibility wore off immediately, which allowed him to finally be seen clearly. He seemed to be entirely incapacitated, but even so, Ssarak was taking no chances. He kicked him over onto his back, then quickly patted him down for anything he might be carrying, like weapons, bags, pouches, and so on. Anything he found, he moved a safe distance to the side, then positioned himself between the man and his belongings. Ssarak hovered his weapon inches above the man's head with the spike on the end pointing towards his skull. He looked the man over carefully to see if he was even still alive, ready to jam the weapon into his skull at a moment's notice.

Wait, I just realized an error in my calculations. One moment while I recalculate.

Edit: Nevermind, the number was accurate. I got confused because I saw a different number (.3%) for 3 standard deviations, but that is for 3 above and below.

Your character is equivalent to someone being 6'4". Take that for what you will. I also just realized that I miscalculated when I chose my own character's height. She lies 2 standard deviations from average, though that is equivalent to someone being 6'1". I personally know people around those heights. Though, attending a military college, my sample distribution may be skewed.

Star Wars - Scum and Villainy

Approximately 0.135% of the population lies above three standard deviations. Not impossible, but very rare. With a large enough population, you would expect to see a few individuals with those characteristics, but they would be regarded as exceptional among the species. If that is something you want (and Sep is fine with), then I'll not say anything.

It is far from the worst I've seen. I know of one character in a different RP whose height falls above 5 standard deviations.

Star Wars - Scum and Villainy

Indeed, if you assume a natural variation similar to Humans for Trandoshan heights, he would be above three standard deviations of the population for height.

Mass Effect: The Face of Injustice

Yes, but the hallways that each door leads to are not directly connected. If they are outside one, they cannot quickly transition to the other. They have to double back and go through a different hallway.

Yes, but outside of which door?

Given all that had happened in the last few hours, Meesei was glad to have found a group willing to work with her, and more importantly, with each other. Since they were all in the service of different lieutenants, their testimony, taken together, would not be easily refuted if they were witness to something important for the trial. And, if one of them attempted to fabricate a story for the benefit of his or her lieutenant, the other three would be able to disprove it. Of course, Meesei was not going to tell them explicitly about their roles as witnesses.

"Thank you all for agreeing to help me in this. In times as tough as these, it is good to know that there are those willing to do all they can to help. I would like all of you, in addition to myself and one of my pack, to help in keeping Harriet safe until her trial. Until she has been officially charged with the crime of which she has been accused, I do not wish for any harm to come to her, and she is one of the most likely targets for violence in the clan. Even if she is charged, I intend to determine if she was acting under her own free will before doing anything else. As I am sure you have noticed, each of you come from packs under each of the lieutenants. I want the people to see that, no matter which whom they are aligned, they should act with fairness." Meesei explained.
