Fire Emblem: The Slumbering Goddess

---

Well that was harrowing. He had not even realized he had launched himself into that audacious rearguard action until he was already knee deep in bandit blood, and a bit of his own too. His frame shook just a bit, but he also felt very alive and relieved. He would make sure to thank Kellen, Clarissa, and Imogen later once this business was done. That was a fight he wouldn't soon forget, and the team fell back in good order after the bandits were slain or sent packing. Kayden trotted back with them, and saw his professor examining him with a look of annoyance. The Prince hadn't expected that, considering he had just risked his life to keep the team from being overwhelmed by a flanking attack, but he supposed having to explain to the king why his son was killed in a small bandit attack wouldn't look good for the institution. That and Professor Tomai just had a certain manner about him so he wouldn't hold it against him. What's more, he was given a boost from magic and a tonic to drink!

"Thank you, professor." He said breathlessly, truly grateful as he took a long swig of it. He was bleeding sweat and sweating blood at this point, but he could still fight. Wait, did Tomai give him a little something extra in this drink? He'd thank him later.

It looked as if he would get just that when the smoke of the ruined village was cleared and the biggest man he had ever seen stepped into view, hefting an axe Kayden likely couldn't begin to pick up himself. Everything happened so fast, he had to run to catch up. By that point, it didn't look like the big one was going down anytime soon. He caught a thrown spear, blocked arrows, and kept the others at bay. Kayden wanted nothing more than to stand with his fellow team leaders, but he also understood the strategy of going after the mages that would finish their ritual any moment.

"Damn..." He muttered, unable to make the decision for a brief second. The second he needed, he would later recall. As the Prince hesitated, he turned to survey the field of battle and caught glimpse of the slightest movement lurking among the shadows. The gleam of an unsheathed blade glinted in the light of the day, and his breath caught when he saw the bandit was moving toward's a distracted Kaira!

Goddess let me make it in time, he told himself. He made for the two of them, sword unsheathed and now held in both hands. Were it not for Tomai's magics, he might have been too slow. His lungs were on fire and his muscles ached like nothing else. But as the blade descended to lop off Kaira's head, Kayden's own blade leaped up to meet it before it bit into her skin. The clash was likekly jarring and loud in Kaira's ears, Kayden's arm shivering from the impact as his heart thundered from the close call.

"Kaira! Keep doing what you have to. I'll get rid of this knave!" He told her, eyes still fixed on the bandit. With that, Kayden pushed him back and began to attempt a riposte, only to find the man blocked his strike. The bandit and the prince traded blows with their weapons, the fellow now wide eyed and worried after he lost the element of surprise. Kayden wasn't at his best anymore, but he had a fire in his eyes. He lunged forward, redirecting the next swing of the bandit's sword and running the man through with a wet squelch of blood. He could feel the bone against his blade. Kayden had a hand at his throat for a brief second as the bandit attempted to take him down with him, but he weakened rapidly and slid off Kayden's sword, dead.

@Penny

Caber never played a trick he didn't see through. He came to get Barley out and that's what he was going to do! The rhyming in his mind was unintended, that happened sometimes with Fae. He began to- aha, he saw a shiny thing. Caber plucked up the lens immediately, realizing it came from these fool's unfortunate leader but that was the extent of his knowledge. He would examine it more later, but as of now he had to make it to Barley and continue to confuse the Order. Briefly he closed his fingers upon his nose to block the airways and blew into it, making a 'pop' that suddenly have Caber vanish!

In reality, the Fae was now a squirrel. One that was ducking and dodging throughout the crowd so he could make it to Barley and the girl. He hoped no one stepped on him.

Hider

He uses one of his three magic powers to shape change into a squirrel so he can sneakily get to Barley

@Decimate@Hellion You're both still welcome to make sheets!

Blades of the Blood Coast

Hey, still waiting on a few more people!

Blades of the Blood Coast

This weekend I'll be at the beach, so hopefully everyone finishes their sheets before then so I can give post #1!

@LostDestiny I am trying not to look at the sheets, but just so you know, a 6 foot 7 dark elf is...impossible. I admit some fault because I didn't mention the exact height (even though I swore I did, but I did not) like with Dwarves, but I did say this with High Elves.

Namely, High Elves tend to be the tallest Elves, close to human height.

5'6-5'7 is the usual range for Elves. A tall elf is like...5'9.

STREETRATS UNITE!

Gold & Glory: AU thread

As the sun descended, the coast looked clear as the saying went. The Sea Drake faded into obscurity before evening, try as she might. Markus couldn't have planned it better, because hadn't planned it. Oh the escape, yes. He and crew orchestrated that well enough. But he had the notion the Sea Drake was days or even weeks ahead of them on their journey, and now he knew Von Robert's was behind them rather than before. It was a stroke of luck, one of the few they had garnered since the voyage began.

Now, as evening fell, he let Morgan take the wheel and he walked down the steps to the maindeck. The men hadn't doled out drinks yet, but they were celebrating. Fernando made lewd gestures as he told a joke of a Tilean Courtesan and an Estalian Carpenter, sending Eckart in a fit of laughter that almost had him rolling off the ship. Brod snorted and smiled when he saw Markus, waving to the Captain as he was just about to walk past.

"Cap'n! I had to tell you something but..." He rubbed his unshaven chin, his paunch floating just above his belt, swaying with the ship as he contemplated. "Oh! Yeah, you asked for the witch to be brought up and grab some drinks, but when the lads went to your room it was locked. No answer either. Better go check on it."

Markus snickered. "Aye, got it." He said, taking out one of the jingling keys at his belt. He had wanted to bring Emmaline topside so they could all toast before the crew dispersed into the night, and then he was going to navigate the best course before dawn came. Perhaps she was taking a nap. He knew how much magic could drain someone, so the rakish swordsman stepped down below decks and made his way to his cabin. Slowly he inserted the key into the doorknob and opened the door, taking off his jacket without so much as a word so as not to disturb the sleeping woman. But as he turned and saw her stark naked on the table, he jumped in surprise. Just at that moment, the ship swayed. The captain's surprise along with the ship sent Emmaline tumbling end over end off the table to hit the floor.

"Em!" He called, rushing over to her. "Sink me, are you ok?"
