(I'm feeling like concentrated ass right now so I won't be responding for at least the rest of the day)

"Simple. We'll win." Caitlin replied."Would you be willing to wager about which you think will happen with this upcoming battle?" She said.
The Drifter didn't find anything of particular interest in the village. Though, that might have been particularly because she didn't have the funds to do anything worthwhile... merely walking around and seeing the sights was the most she could do."Haha... alright, Mr. 'Death Dealer'. Good luck with... carving wood." The Drifter said dismissively, glancing at Santiago from underneath her mask. She broke her gaze a few short moments later, before walking off, exploring the village and hoping to find a place to chill for the next bit before she booked it.
"Mines...?" She stopped in her tracks, "You're setting up mines? Near a village...?"Rassilon after finishing went to look for someone's opinion (he appears in the place of anyone who wants to respond)
"Hey, guys, should I try a mine to see if it works correctly or leave it to chance? I really don't want to lose a charge of gunpowder, much less have to refill the hole that it left, however, if it doesn't detonate it would be frustrating."
"Not exactly that close, but what do you see in every corner of the town? I put it more than 50 meters away, the explosives are low power, so it is more to relatilize any attempt to go around the edges, however go for the main entries you wouldn't have to worry about it exploding in your face""Mines...?" She stopped in her tracks, "You're setting up mines? Near a village...?"
"If their far away, I guess that works out..." She said, "Anyways... I can check them out, if you want. You wouldnt have to detonate any of them... hopefully, but i am very thorough so there shouldnt be a need for any unnecessary explosions.""Not exactly that close, but what do you see in every corner of the town?

"great, thanks for the help""If their far away, I guess that works out..." She said, "Anyways... I can check them out, if you want. You wouldnt have to detonate any of them... hopefully, but i am very thorough so there shouldnt be a need for any unnecessary explosions."
"I know that feeling, well as the saying goes, if you can't find something to do, build something to do.""Not really a problem. Walking around here with nothing to do is boring me out out of my mind..."
"Sure" he shrugs while walk to the minefields, eventually when they arrived he would point out where the mines were."I can't exactly say that I've heard of that saying..." The Drifter said, "Irregardless, mind leading me to those minefields of yours?"
"Sure, why no? Just be careful" Rassilon acceptThe Drifter dug up one of the mines, making her movements carefully to ensure that she didn't accidentally set it off, assuming it could be set off. She then began examining the weapon...
"Hm... if you made them all like this, then it's unlikely they'll go off like you want it. Mind if I do a few modifications? I can decrease the chance of duds."
"Got it." The Drifter was clearly a person of few words when they were not needed, and carried out her work. With nimble fingers, which due to her large gloves it was quite surprising she could maintain such precision, she dismantled the mine down to its base components, and when her work was done she put it back together in even shorter time and turned to Rassilon."Sure, why no? Just be careful" Rassilon accept
Rassilon took out a detonation switch from his pocket, it had 3 buttons each of a different color, plus a magic crystal at the end, being the power source."Got it." The Drifter was clearly a person of few words when they were not needed, and carried out her work. With nimble fingers, which due to her large gloves it was quite surprising she could maintain such precision, she dismantled the mine down to its base components, and when her work was done she put it back together in even shorter time and turned to Rassilon.
"You have the detonation switch, right? Like a button or trigger."
"you curse us with bad luck after say that, you know?" He joke a bit"Ah. Well... maybe we shouldn't test it, then." The Drifter said, not wanting to set off every single mine within a certain range.
"Still, it should work as intended with about 99.999% accuracy now. Don't worry about that 0.001 percent."
"Sure, i fine doing whatever while wait for the fight""Oh. I... suppose I did?" The Drifter did not particularly believe in superstition like jinxes or non-magical curses, but either way it rattled her.
"Anyways- I'll need to work on the rest of them... I can show you the process, if you want to help."
"Look like that, still don't understand how powerful is the enemy but eh""Oh, right. Fight. You guys were serious about the whole... monster attack, or whatever?"
"Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?" hUh? Huh? HUH? huh? What was happening? Everything. No, something specific... An attack? Probably. The creature could... sense it. Enemies were coming. Enemies. LOTs and L0000000000000000000000000000Ts...And so Palaria's eyes snapped open "Nigredo, we have to pull back, we can't be caught out without backup!" Palaria said quickly, her voice hushed and quiet as she looked worried, as this would be her first time in actual combat that wasn't an exercise.
"[FLY]!" Palaria said quickly, flying after Nigredo, falling a little behind the thing as they rushed through the forest"Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?" hUh? Huh? HUH? huh? What was happening? Everything. No, something specific... An attack? Probably. The creature could... sense it. Enemies were coming. Enemies. LOTs and L0000000000000000000000000000Ts...
"Uh huh. Fight. Let's go." Nigredo nodded swiftly, before dashing off to the village at in(peak)human speeds.
In a distance, Caitlin would sense Palaria and the thing chasing after them, looking at Kuni..."[FLY]!" Palaria said quickly, flying after Nigredo, falling a little behind the thing as they rushed through the forest
Rubedo immediately spotted Palaria and Nigredo, moving to walk over to their approach with a blank expression
Santiago had remained with Vera and the rest of the workers as they broke the trees down and carved them into arrows. Unlike Vera...he didn't seem to have much difficulty, a rather surprising show of competence from the 'famous assassin'. He ran a lithe finger across the shaft of one of the arrows, as if testing its smoothness.Vera was working hard to get arrows right, being guided by Shaitan, and while she struggled, she was getting it done...
"Ooh, I guess it's time to test our luck!" Kumi said.In a distance, Caitlin would sense Palaria and the thing chasing after them, looking at Kuni...
@ZoroNotZolo
...and saying, "About time."
"Ts'hūeūto" = Orc for "what"
(Poke.)"Good question. I'm curious as well." Morgan said looking around to see if there was anyone else approaching.
"Tou..." Caitlin muttered an ethereal glow that would manifest from the behest mana as a ghastly apparition.Fog rolled in and the sky darkened, the party was beginning...
"Get everyone ready! The attack is early!" Palaria caterwaled, her voice clearly not used to shouting like that... and it made some villagers panic and others get ready, and within the village was mayhem! Feet scuffling around, yells of orders given, and if wasn't long until everyone was in place...
And stumbled upon the frontlines, seeing people whom Vera would call."We have flankers people! Palaria, Nigredo, and Kaminos, on me!" Vera called out, pulling half of The Order of Reunification to guard the rear while the majority of the power players and scouts took the front "If you can't run to me for healing, get one of the villagers to perform first aid!"
"I split us up this way for a reason Caitlin! The frontline is without a healer so they need all the forces they can get, now go!" Vera immediately snapped upon seeing Caitlin approach"Tou..." Caitlin muttered an ethereal glow that would manifest from the behest mana as a ghastly apparition.
"WhAaaaAaAaaATtt?" asked the spirit.
"Go and help." she said, "Thanks."
"OooOOOooooOKkkaaAaaay"
And stumbled upon the frontlines, seeing people whom Vera would call.
"Oh..."
She was unsheathing her sword with her left arm and readying.
"I apologize if I'm not the person that you summoned."
"I've sent Tou Mou over to the location you said, Miss Vera. Her strength is as capable as mine..." she tried to insist but slowly walks to the same direction."I split us up this way for a reason Caitlin! The frontline is without a healer so they need all the forces they can get, now go!" Vera immediately snapped upon seeing Caitlin approach
"And we'll have our best mage, some of our frontline, and our healer over here, if you mop up the front fast enough, you can help us with the flank." Vera called out"I've sent Tou Mou over to the location you said, Miss Vera. Her strength is as capable as mine..." she tried to insist but slowly walks to the same direction.
The woman would nod and be there in a heartbeat, carried by Tou Mou as she flew up into the sky."And we'll have our best mage, some of our frontline, and our healer over here, if you mop up the front fast enough, you can help us with the flank." Vera called out

Unlike Vera...he didn't seem to have much difficulty, a rather surprising show of competence from the 'famous assassin'. He ran a lithe finger across the shaft of one of the arrows, as if testing its smoothness.
"Like I said earlier, these ain't top shelf tools or nothin. But give it to a half-decent archer and it should hit its mark." He said. He let out a soft sigh, adjusting his mask with his free hand.
"...Eh? s-so soon???" Santiago said. His voice wavered for a moment, before the man quickly shook his head, inwardly glad his mask hid his visibly panicked expression."We have flankers people! Palaria, Nigredo, and Kaminos, on me!" Vera called out, pulling half of The Order of Reunification to guard the rear while the majority of the power players and scouts took the front "If you can't run to me for healing, get one of the villagers to perform first aid!"
