Arriving to the villagers, Caitlin would say, "There's an attack about to arrive. Prepare any barricades you can to reinforce your houses and shacks. Take the animals back at the shelter." looking at each resident, "My comrades have what it takes to defend you all, we need only your cooperation for your own safety..."
"Nigredo!" Palaria said quickly since she didn't have much better to do with her relative physical Frailty, quickly, she tried to touch the smaller Individual, bringing up a safety forcefield just in case though
"Yer going ta have to get the makings for Arrows and Crossbow Bolts for that one." A large main said, wiping sweat from his brow as he held a particularly strange hammer over his shoulder, the color unlike any metal Caitlin had seen before, with all fo the villagers clamoring to defend themselves... there was a lot of willpower going around here.
"Huh? Huh? Huh? Huhhhhh???" Nigredo froze up once it felt Palaria's fingers against it, it's neck twisting almost in a... uncanny way, to turn to look at Palaria.
"Santiago! You're late!" Vera called out, recognizing the man immediately, she personally thought he was a bit of an idiot from the reports oh him, but he could be useful at least...
"Hey... you were going to walk into a tree..." Palaria said quietly, a little unnerved by the unnatural Twisting of Cain's neck...
"Understood." Caitlin nodded. "Anything else you need?" she asked politely.
"Ter... eeee... trrrr... eeeeee...." Nigredo said nonchalantly, their head gently swaying from side to side beneath their marred cloak.
"Seems you have a Survivalist, so no." The large man responded, getting ready to craft what was needed if any wood came in some time that century
"Not personally!" Vera called out
"Indeed..." Palaria said, still being friendly to Nigredo, even with the caution she took to touching her and the uneasiness of her neck Twisting like that
Santiago stumbled in front of the woman, putting his hands on his knees.
"I'll shout whatever information about you as is necessary, or desired." Vera bluntly responded as she moved to stroll into the village with an entire tree on her back
Indeed. Very much indeed. Everything she said was right. Everything. Cats were amazing. Trees were amazing. Living was amazing. Absolutely amaŻZ'ZZZZHahahahahaAAAAAAzzzing.
Palaria simply followed Nigredo, commenting on each plant she picked up, and even going as far as to name the uses for the plants she recognized!
Death Dealer...or Santiago, as the woman had called him, breathed out, slowly rubbing his neck. He looked up wearily at the tree the woman was carrying, taking a step away to give her a wide berth. His eyes shifted to Rubedo for a moment, his grip on his scythe tightening somewhat, in a manner visible enough to portray a willingness to use it.
(the message from Thalia was anonymous lol)

"The Boss- the queen- has come and went, we're defending this village from a Shadow attack, and we're reuniting Baharuth." Vera responded "Oh, and I'm the leader of this operation, so make youself useful."
"No kill, befriend..." Palaria said to Nigredo with a smile
Caitlin would nod along and proceed to help. (I genuinely don't know what to do, so... just say she's helping with the defending of... The village — my dementia makes me unable to remember)
".........." Santiago stared at the woman blankly for a moment.
"I do, failed assassin. Court Mage Albus was with her along with yours truly..." Vera said with a smirk
Santiago would have been...quite indignant, at that first part had he not currently been processing the more important information in her message.
"Ten, not counting you. Don't worry, I'll be the one keeping your dumbass alive, probably." Vera said
Santiago breathed out, slowly straightening himself. He slowly hefted his large scythe back on his shoulder, a feat which took...a visible amount of effort for the lanky young man.
"Yes, I wonder how your reputation would do if a healer was doing more damage then you in a fight." Vera said, before walking off and delivering the tree to it's destination for usage by the village
"He should know how to make Arrows and whatnot." Santiago could hear Vera's voice talking to a large and muscular guy with a large hammer, who nodded "you will need to know how to do so as well, so stick around. Plus, you're probably the best healer here, so you can deal with any pre-battle injuries." He said, surprisingly making Vera go quiet, as if he'd hit a bit of a nerve of Vera's
"Do you trust 'Santiago'?" Rubedo simply asked, watching Rassilon work
(Hmmm)
(Funny thing is I don't have anything either, thats why I didn't respond)
Santiago absentmindedly glanced at the muscular man as he walked, stopping a few feet away.
"Uhhhhhhhhhh..." Nigredo tilted it's head, "O.... Okay... Okay... Okay. So... mutilate? Severely... injure... instead...?"
"Not every village has an endless supply of arrows, in case you thought I carry trees aroune for fun." Vera curtly said to Santiago, using what he said to escape the conversation
"crappy place to stick around! Unless that sack has some weapons to defend yourself with!" Vera called out to the traveler, since she was facing the entrance to the village anyway and this person was clearly not from around there
"No... befriend, like I'm trying to do with you. That, or just tolerate- or 'allow to exist'." Palaria said gently, with just as gentle of a smile on her face
