Warden Keep's Training Camp August 20-23

Day One - Thursday 20

[17:44] Tief just gives jace a farily skeptical look. She reaches up and taps her horns with one finger. "Cor laddie, did you get raised inna barrel? Prettiest horns on tha island, ruby eyes ... Tiefling, laddie. After bein' called 'hey, you, Tiefling' all me life I decided to make it me own." For the rest, she just let out a slow and level sigh. "Fine ... c'mere laddie." She pointed to the gate. first, you know how tha' isle is made right? Three terraces each one above tha other, tha only way betweenone an' another save for flyin' are those stairs. Now imagine your a whole lot of bad guys. You are gonna be coming up those stairs. Think. There's not even a turnpike to stop them. And this here ... set at the back of the village? What, that is tha strategy 'sacrifice tha town?' Tha' never was a good one in my book. What it means is that while you are in his nice fort - tha Guard are stuck tryin' to hold tha top of tha stairs. An tha' laddi, will be a bloody meatgrindin' fight."

[17:46] Kynaston Chasin exits out of the near by impossing building after taking a short break, to tend to whatever one might do in their breif moments of spare time. He moves back out to the main area of the keep- down the path to find two others had gathered. While he was approaching he hardly caught any of Tief's words, but he did reconize her from a few breif glimpses throughout town over the course of a month or so. "Greetings," he stated the two- his voice a deep earthen tone.

[17:54] Tief [[waits for Jace]]

[17:55] Second Life: Items successfully shared.

[17:56] Jace Blackwell: "Well where I come from, not a whole lot of...racial variety. Actually I've been learning about some of the new types of people I've come across since coming to Valesk lately. Like just recently about AAsimar, and I guess they're pretty common. I thought at first I was in the presence of angel." Jace would then look over to the gate, imagining the path to the town beyond nodding his head as Tief spoke replying "Well the plan isn't so much to sacrifice the town as to have a stable location with which they can come seeking aid. The wardens, patrol out and about as well. More often than not, in the wilderness, seeking those in need or any demons and shadelings that might be about. We also go into town quite often, offering our help as well....but in town is a bit of a gray area you might say. That's the Aberwyth Guard's domain, and they don't always take too kindly to us....you might say trespassing on their territory. So far we have a workable agreement, they generally stick to the town, we

[17:56] Jace Blackwell: the wilderness, and work together in between as needed. Although, with the new captain, perhaps another agreement might be reached. I suppose that would be up to the Harbinger and the new Captain to discuss. Or would it be more of a whole town council kinda thing? I'm really not to good with the politics and such." He would then hear an unfamiliar voice as the man approached, turning to greet him friendly as ever. "Hello there. Jace. Jace Blackwell. Pleasure to meet you. Anything I can help with?"

[18:01] Tief shook her head, "Well laddie, tha reason your tummy is rumblin' prolly ain't lack of food." The tieflings shoulders rise and fall. "But nay worries, tha disturbin' aasimar do tha same to me. Bloody spook an' creepy like. Fair is fair an alls well in tha world." To the new comer she just raises a brow. "Hoi ... an fair evenin' laddie. Or at tha least it seems to be so. Even if it nay be a crowded evenin' so it seems."

[18:04] Kynaston Chasin had clearly walked in on the midst of some political discussion but without knowing the start he wasn't particularly sure about what all it entailed. He was seeking to follow along from the moment he came into audiable distance, but Jace's sudden pause and sticking his name so near to a greeting had Cynric pausing- appearing a bit dumbfounded, before smiling and exhaling a cuaght breath. "Ah. I am Cynric. Simply Cynric when refered to by such a name. And actually I am rather here to help." He chuckles. "So it so seems we are both here to help. The Harbinger will not be able to make it this day, so it will be up to the two of us." He smiled to Jace, before turning back to Tief, "If I am not mistaken the reason for its longer duration of four days was actually to create more of a personalized smalled crowd. I am going to assume that you are not a demon, and only have the misfortune of holding one in your family line." He narrowed his eyes marginally at her. "I have seen you moving about town

[18:04] Kynaston Chasin: could only hope this is the case."

[18:13] Jace Blackwell: "Ha, yea the Harbinger does seem to be awfully busy as of late. Well then, I'm sure the two of us can manage. Maybe more will arrive as well. So...Cynric eh? I met someone awhile back, Mei'lin. She was came to the keep looking for you. I Helped her as best I could at the time, tried to guide her in the right direction with some incident she had. Did she ever find you? I've been meaning to check in on her, see how things have been." He would then turn his attention back to the tiefling replying "Really? The Aasimar make your stomach feel funny? I admit, I'm curious. I didn't feel anything of the sort in their presence. Actually they seemed rather nice. We got to talking a bit...well with the one in the guard I talked a bit. The other, her name's Tyri. I've spent a great deal more time with her as of late. She's...well amazing really. Besides I still daresay part Divine in lineage...she's studying to be a healer, she's very kind, stunning, has an innocent nature about her. Truly, a

[18:13] Jace Blackwell: remarkable girl..woman...aasimar." Jace stammered, tripping over his tongue toward the end awkwardly as he began to rub the back of his head perhaps a little nervously.

[18:16] Tief shrugged her shoulders at that. "Tain't my afult one of me great great great granmas had a ... hoi how to say politely ... led a more than usual life. As for me, I cannae even turn any one into a marmoset. I'd make a right terrible demon." She stretched and lacing her fingers together and cracking her knuckles with a pop-pop-pop-pop. "Besides, they been tha cause of half me troubles all me life. Kinda logical I got nae much nice to be thinkin' about them. As fer me, actually I'm teachin' the day after next; so I came to see what manner of instructors yah got."

[18:21] Kynaston Chasin dips his head in assent. "Her job is an important one that I am sure keeps her up late at night, but always a busy one. I am sure we will see her sporadicaly throughout the training. I was not truly aware she had came so far to seek me out. I do believe I have met her, or at least they said there name was Mei. I do not quite recall Mei'lin, but I am not so popular that I would assume there would be two Mei's seeking me out. I am glad you were able to help her as much as you could without formal knowledge to who I am." He shakes his head , "I have not had much dealings with the guards, only the guards of particular establishments. Though I had met a man a week back or so that called himself Captian." He grins at Teif's reassurance, and for now he simply nods. "It is only unfortant that there is no real good way to varify and know if one is demon or simply a tiefling, even if they themselves felt that they would make a terrible demon. We have a hard time seeing that, factionally. On paper. A

[18:21] Kynaston Chasin: manner of instructors we have.. well I am primarily an archer, though I do have some knowledge of magic and sword play."

[18:27] Jace Blackwell: "I'm a bit of a swordsman and archer. I wouldn't say i'm a master or anything but skilled enough to hold my own, and to defend those in need. Though hopefully soon, once I can finalize arrangements with Emm'Esta, I may be learning how to use magic as well. Anyway, nice to meet you both but if you'll excuse me, I really should go gather my armor and bow, and of course prepare for this event. I'm sure I'll see you both soon yea?" Jace commented, turning to head for the keep interior.

[18:30] Tiefchuckles quietly. "Find any priest, laddie. I look them in tha eye, ask' em what manner o' soul i got, and they all go into an apolectic fit trying not to admit mine is human.' She smiled at that "One of the fe ways I can have fun with them, actually. secn, ask anyon out in tha duck.. Sure I got a sharp tongu, but they ain't never seen me draw steel or take a poke at someone for just pokin's sake. When folks look at yah like a demon, you cannae affod to give them any reason to back tha' up with your own actions." She then ugged at one of her ibbons, gentle. shoulders rising and falling. "I donnae know anything about mage craft except if you give a mage a chance to cast a spell its your on bloody fault. Archers are a pain in tha bakside unless yah have a shield an can see them, which is nae what any smart archer wants yah to do. I'm just your tiefling-next-door guard lass. Steel is my trade. Donna matter how long, short or if its tied to the end of a wooden stick."

[18:32] Kynaston Chasin nods to Tief, "Well that is a good thing to know at least, that others would say that about you. And you seem quite a nice lass indeed, though a strong one I would not want to take for granted. I bet you will be a great addition to the camp this weekend." He seemed excited enough to speak more on the camp and what he knew. "I spent a bit talking with the Harbinger about the camp, and the primary focus is to be loose and flexible to specifically tailor what is being taught, and how it is being taught to the individuals. The longer time frame of the camp was to help get people to trickle in slowly over the days, as opposed to showing up all at once. Depending on group sizes, and needs of the individual, we have an array of formats. From teching on a more class like lecturing perferably with a sort of tell, show, do style, Demonstrations, Just doing question and answers on a more one on one centric manner, to target training and lastly sparring to help others improve their skills. We have a b

[18:32] Kynaston Chasin: He gestures to it, "that holds a variety of different weapons that can be borrowed out through the training session. We also have some specific potions that can be used to help those that simply want to see what being better at such and such feels like. Or to try out something different entirely." He dips himself into a bow before Jace, "Indeed, it sounds as though we will see you about."

[18:39] Ella 'Armisael' Moraeu heads to the Warden's keep, hoping NPC Randy had passed on her written note to the Harbinger, nevertheless, it always made sense to check personally. Noticing the usual sentinel at the gate, she greets them and walks in to see a few folk milling about nodding politely as she greeted everyone with a polite "Good Day!". as golden eyes surveyed the grounds of the Keep readying itself for the training sessions to be held over the weekend.

[18:41] Tief [[did we lose jace?]]

[18:41] Cynric (jens.ixchel): ((he had to leave for a bit I assumed.))

[18:47] Vincent Keene (vincent3342): /m e had walked into the Wardens walls a couple of scrolls in his hand as he looked around making visual notes about the things within, his brows furrowed slightly as he turned to start towards the keeps smithy, humming softly making note of the cages and other things that were strewn about specially the glowing rock thing, that was really interesting, as he hummed a little softly.

[18:51] Tief watched as the stockade started to fill, curious to see who entered. She smiled as a familiar figure came in, an a brow raising at another. She kept her distance from the other and waved to the former. "Hoi ... Knife, we are just chatting here - waitin' to see this camp begin."

[18:53] Kynaston Chasin noticed Ella's arrival about the time Jace slipped off. "Ella, welcome. I figured as much in love with sparing as you are that this event could hardly keep you away. Even if the main focus is not sparring, I believe we can all agree that sparring is a good source of hands on learning and practicing." Having his attention turned towards the gate, he catches sight of Vincent, whom he only remembers from his quick response to Emm's cries for help- and the bird. He would even try to see if he could spot the bird form here. At Tief's words he brings his hands together, "I think all it is in need of is someone in wants to learn, participate, or otherwise, as it seems we have enough people here to teach any of the three catagories."

[18:54] Talura (talura.coorara) comes in with a few others and makes her way over to the woman calling her name. Her face is calm with a slight smile and she gives a brief wave to Tief as she makes her way over. She looks over at Kynaston with light curiosity as she takes a position near Tief.

[18:54] Knife comes in with a few others and makes her way over to the woman calling her name. Her face is calm with a slight smile and she gives a brief wave to Tief as she makes her way over. She looks over at Kynaston with light curiosity as she takes a position near Tief.

[18:59] Tief looks back and wrinkles her nose. "You know, there's a reason why Knife and I keep a set of wooden swords back at our camp. Sparrin' is one of those two edged kind of things, aye? Spar with steel, an you either have to choreograph your attacks or holdback - both of which teach bad habits, aye? Or yah just donnae like your partner and go all out and someone ends up at tha' infirmiry." Again she tugged at a ribbon, "Unless of course your really good. But then, you be woking on things beyond pracice ... its one of those conundrums."

[19:02] Tief nods to the wood elf. "Like me an' Knife, polishing up her use of tha' big glaive of hers."

[19:07] Tief blinks, laughs and smiles and looks to Jace, "Hoi ... so thats where yah went laddie. Come out with real armor now, dindn't yah, So. then, come over here, will yah?"

[19:16] Jace Blackwell: Emerged from the keep, armored up since his disappearance, bow and shield added to his person as well. Upon hearing Tief he glanced over shrugging as he spoke. "Yea, had to go get suited up and all." He would approach as bidden, raising an eyebrow unsure what she had in mind.

[19:17] Kynaston Chasin nods in agreeement, "I would have to agree with that Tief. Most of the spars I have been in have been unarmed to avoid that very thing. Not that you can not seriously injur someone unarmed, but they are at least likely to recover well enough without you having to pull your punchs or train into bad habits. But this is also why we have the target training games. So that people can use real steel, and real arrowes or bolts at targets. I have to agree though, keep to weapons without a sharpened end at least." He chuckles, "But yes, anyways each area, Melee, Ranged, and Combat Magic has a slightly different 'game' like set up for how to use it as target practice. If anyone would be interested, I would be more than happy to explain the rules." He welcomes Jace back with a wave.

[19:20] Knife watches Jace approach and nods to him as he comes close to her sword-sister. She says in a voice that is not loud, but exceptionally clear, "While that is true, and Tief and I do possess wooden swords and move so slowly we might be meditating, there are times we also use the real thing. Because, well, because we just know each other that well." With that, she begins to unstrap her glaive from her back, her fingers working the bindings with ease.

[19:23] Tief smiles as jace comes to life. The Tiefling nods to the wild elf behind her. "Hoi ... Knife. This laddie in the fine armor, this be Jace. He's new to the wardens, so we;ll start easy." She crossed her arms, looking between the two. "Now he's definitely a hero type, look at him, walkin' out into the melee likein a minstrel's tale. Now, lets say you and he are facing each other. Got two questions for you knife ... that's the steel you are facing. what is his biggest strength and biggest weakness he brings to the field." She then spun and turned her attention to Jace, "Next laddie, the important question for you. What did you forget to bring and why is it important?"

[19:26] Bradock (katarr) has the wooden gates of Warden's Keep part for him as he enters the grounds of the Keep. The man's lips soon part to reveal a rather broad yawn that he, surprisingly, has the manners to cover with a cupped hand moving towards his mouth. That very hand then falls limply at his side. "Hey! Am I too late for the training? I'm itching to go toe to toe with someone!" His voice calls out to no one in particular. As the colorless eyes scan the small crowd before him, they particularly fall onto a being to his right. Any advancement he had upon the group halts as his eyes widen in surprise. "Whoa, what are you?!" Abandoning all thought of what he was previously doing, he wanders towards the elementals side. "Are you a spirit, an elemental?" An index finger extends as it draws ever nearer towards Asi in an attempt to poke a small portion of exposed skin of his arm.

[19:29] Kynaston Chasin speaks to Knife, "It is good that true swords of steel are taken from time to time otherwise the mind and body grow accustomed to swinging a lighter weapon and becomes over exerted from the weight difference of real steel, and how differently the weight shifts. I however am not a sword fighter myself, not specifically. I only have minor training in it, but it was not really my thing, to say the least." He smiled as Tief launches into a lecture, demonstration, or something of the sort and he gives them a light bow before slipping off the rocken path to the other side. He did not stray far, however, as it was clear he was curious. When the gates open again he catchs sight of Bradock entering. "Welcome!" He proclaimed, "Actually you are right in time for it! I saw Elle a little bit ago, but I lost sight of her but I am sure she will be back around." But it would seem Bradock's path deviated immensely, which only brought Cynric's gaze towards Asi too.

[19:30] Jace Blackwell: Smiles, offering a nod toward knife, glancing toward her pole arm of a weapon briefly before his attention was brought back to Tief with her question. He would just raise both eyebrows shrugging slightly responding with "Not really sure? Don't think I forgot anything?" He would then glance over offering a friendly nod toward Braddock, noticing then the strange creature he had approached, once more a look of surprise appeared on his youthful features.

[19:33] Asi had simply been doing what it did best in silently observing the goings on of mortals and providing bodily support by numbers to his mage. Oh, in short, lurking like a creeper. So absorbed in the task of creeper lurker that it took him a fell three seconds to register at all somebody had come over to him, which confused him for a for an additional two seconds before he thought to bow at the well dressed man. "I am a pond, yes. You are astute pleasantly symmetrical entity presumed male." Poking would not be deterred, it had no boundaries, and the feel of his skin was likely something akin to the odd film gelatin got when not wrapped properly. Feigned self contained shell, and the like, clearly mad of water.

[19:35] Knife waves to Kynaston as he steps aside and replies to him, "Indeed.. one must learn to conquer the natural fear of being swung at by real weapons." In answer to Tief's question she looks Jace up and down. She nods back to him amicably and says, "Well-armored. Slightly top-heavy. Tall. No shield. His biggest strength is that he is well armored. Very well armored. And his sword looks to be serious. I would be very wary of facing him head on." She pauses a moment looking at him with a critical eye. "His biggest weakness is his cloak. Followed next by his lack of peripheral vision."

[19:37] Knife: :amends. "slightly impeded peripheral vision."

[19:41] Jace (harutotokishima): ((I do have a shield actually, just for some reason rests on my back until I use it ))

[19:41] Tief shakes her head. "just so you know, jace. I'm treating you like you are good at what you do, aye? You know how to use that sword of yours. So my task ... is to teach you how to use it better. But that als means letting you know when you aint at your bst." The tiefling then nodded, "Both of you, get into your engarde position, aye?" She then laughed. "Knife Bunnybane, you need to learn when to shut up, aye? You got it in one." She turned her attention to Jace. "She's right, where's your bloody shield? That's a hand an' haf sword, which means aye, you can go single handed, but tha's usually from horseback or if you forgot your shield." Then, she tugs Knife forward by the glaive, until its point is at Jace's chest. "See this Jace? look at that reach. She can poke you and you still got to take two steps forward to even touch her. This means she gets to hit you first, And what do you have to parry with? the same thing you attack with an you cannae do two things at once. it gets wose ..."

[19:41] Knife: (( okay, strike that part. and cool! )

[19:42] Knife: (( I just didn't notice it, sorry ))

[19:42] Anitya: EEEPS! I thought it was uour over extended Gorget.!

[19:42] Anitya: I NEED to repost

[19:44] Second Life: Items successfully shared.

[19:48] Anitya: shakes her head. "just so you know, jace. I'm treating you like you are good at what you do, aye? You know how to use that sword of yours. So my task ... is to teach you how to use it better. But that als means letting you know when you aint at your best." The tiefling then nodded, "Both of you, get into your engarde position, aye?" She then adjusted adjusted the wild elf's position so that the point of her glaive was at the front of Jace's shield. "You biggest strength, laddie, is that you remembered to bring your shield. best tool a fighter has got. The downside is she's got you right now. You still got to take two steps forward to even hope of hitting her. It's a small thing, but in thiscase your sword is too long. Against a polearm you want to be in her face; so get in some practice with a shortsword, aye? Right now there's a space of about three feet where she can kill you and you cannae do a bloody thing about it. Jace, your job is to cross that distance without being killed ... Knife ...

[19:48] Tief shakes her head. "just so you know, jace. I'm treating you like you are good at what you do, aye? You know how to use that sword of yours. So my task ... is to teach you how to use it better. But that als means letting you know when you aint at your best." The tiefling then nodded, "Both of you, get into your engarde position, aye?" She then adjusted adjusted the wild elf's position so that the point of her glaive was at the front of Jace's shield. "You biggest strength, laddie, is that you remembered to bring your shield. best tool a fighter has got. The downside is she's got you right now. You still got to take two steps forward to even hope of hitting her. It's a small thing, but in thiscase your sword is too long. Against a polearm you want to be in her face; so get in some practice with a shortsword, aye? Right now there's a space of about three feet where she can kill you and you cannae do a bloody thing about it. Jace, your job is to cross that distance without being killed ... Knife ...

[19:49] Tief ... Knife, your job is to never let him gets past that point. What does it mean to the fight and what can you do to better your ods, each of you?"

[19:50] Bradock (katarr) feels his finger sink in somewhat to the skin of the creature he was poking, eyes broadening ever more. "Wow. You're a pond?" It takes a moment to digest to what the creature may of meant by such a statement. Until donged on him he was likely being -literal- not figurative. "I've never met an elemental before stay here, I have tons of questions to ask you, later." Bradock would then turn to join the group only to turn back towards the elemental. "I mean, not -here- as in this spot. You can leave. I meant in this realm. What I mean is..." There is a small silence from him as the dark haired male tries to find the words best to describe what he meant. "Just, don't get banished, okay?" After wards, he jogs towards the larger group of people. "Was Ella here earlier? I think she went to the bathhouse to clean up. You know how women are with their hair washing." A playful grin is shot towards Kynaston before nodding in greeting to Jace. "So, what're the plans tonight?" He asks of, again, no one in particular.

[19:50] Bradock (katarr): Though, his gaze falls particularly onto Tief.

[19:54] Kynaston Chasin grins at Knife's words, only because other thoughts went through his mind. "It is good to conquer ones fear." He comments all to knowingly, nodding at her as she launches into speaking of Jace's strengths and disadvantages. "And it always does help to be so perceptive to ones surroundings." Though Jace certaintly was a bit of a Tank. He paused for a moment to hear Tief's words. He definitely had to admire the lass for her knowledge in her craft. He watched the three with interest, though his gaze deviates to Bradock specifically for the moment. His brow arched a bit at Bradock's seeming command towards Asi. Only to smile when he justified himself and clarified what he meant. "Thrice we have been near one another and exchanged words, and thrice now has your name failed to each my ears. I do not even recall if Ella has spoken anything that could have remotely be your name. As of right now it seems that the woman with the horns seeks to utilize her friend to preform a demonstration that is me

[19:54] Kynaston Chasin: Jace's fighting abilities from where they already are. Is there anything in particular you seek to learn?" His gaze deviates from Bradock over to Asi for the moment, before back to the man.

[19:54] Jace (harutotokishima): ((brb re log before i post, lag killing me T.T))

[20:01] Ella (maiacalhoun): (( so sorry about a while back earlier. my internet conked out on me ))

[20:01] Cynric (jens.ixchel): ((welcome back ella!))

[20:02] Asi canted it's head at the easily impressed seemingly man, watery head tendrils excitedly wavering about the more Bradock chattered. Just liked the man's excitably, really, in spite of not actually replying beyond, "If you wish," or smiling or so. Once the presumed human runs off to join the others, he simply resumes background lurking, but may awkwardly wriggle it's claws at Kynaston if the mage kept looking his way.

[20:06] Jace Blackwell: Would move his right leg back, stepping sideways to present a small target, bending his knees into a slight crouch, his shield raising before him in a ready position for defense. His Sword drawn, was held waist high, ready for a strike if one would be needed. He would then keep his head slightly ducked behind both his shield and right pauldron for head protection since he didn't exactly bring a helmet. He kept his attention on Knife while speaking to Tief. "This about right? He asked, eyeing knife's weapon once more.

[20:11] Tief my turn to crash

[20:11] Ella (maiacalhoun): (( wb ))

[20:12] Knife: :flashes her teeth at Jace. "Good, very good. This one has potential, Tief." she grins. Eying Jace, she takes a half step backward and to his left (if he is holding the shield in his left hand), such that he would need to look slightly further of his left shoulder than would be comfortable and choosing an area of his swing slightly past its natural arc. "To answer your question Tief, it would be to stay mobile and control the distance. Like I am doing now."

[20:17] Tyri Lhinneth: as she enters the gate to the wardens keep, she wonders whats going on, hoping not to interrupt anything that is going on. she shyly says "greetings"

[20:20] Ella 'Armisael' Moraeu once again walks into the Keep, golden eyes easily recognizing most of the faces around, though some she did not know, seeing a bit of the scene transpiring ahead, she quirks her eyebrow and walks towards the direction of her husband, looking somewhat weary as well, and she still had no idea if the Harbinger was around and had gotten her message. She enters nodding politely at everyone who might recognize her or not, with a well mannered greeting "Good Eve all!" and Stopping beside Bradock, she nudges him with her elbow and asks softly "What is going on? Is the Harbinger around? I had no luck with finding a good carpenter.. looks like you will have to take the hammer up yourself!", she smirks, it would seem that finally they had moved out of the inn into a home.

[20:25] Tief looks back to Braddock, over the elf's glaive. "No. What about ladies and their hair." She then added a nod to Knife. "Aye. have to admit, this is your worst nightmare; an agressive sword and shield who has a good defensive stance. the correct answer, Knife , should have been, find someone with a shield to stand behind." The tiefling then circled jace, rubbing her chin. "That's classic .... this is better." And slowly she took his sword arm and guided it. "Stay in ths stance." bending his arm until the sword almost lay straight down behind his back,wrist almost touching his pauldron ... and mostly hidden by th shield. "Now ... knife has a problem. Its hard to block a blow when you cannase see your opponents sword. And for you ... you punch." And for Jace she guided his arm ou, then, showing him the apttern of the attack. A straight forward punch, towards Knife's chest, At almost full extension sh stopped. "Now you draw it back as hard as you can - its a bloody snap."

[20:26] Bradock (katarr) stops himself a respectable distance from the ongoing fighting. His head turns towards Kynaston for a moment and arches his eyebrow. At the mention of it, he wasn't sure of -his- name either. "My name's Bradock good to, uhhh, -officially- meet you." Preforming a genuine smile and nod towards the man, he glances back towards the ongoings in front of him, watching the two position themselves in front of the Tiefling. "Demonstration. Nice." As to Kynaston's next question, there was some hesitation before he properly answers, either so that he could observe the pair longer or to think more on the issue. "I suppose I wouldn't mind learning a bit more defensive magic to use in battle. The school of Thaumaturgy of Summoning is always something I've been meaning to learn more of." The man briefly glances back towards Kynaston then before a foreign voice enters the area. "Welcome to Warden's Keep!" Is called towards Tyri. A familiar voice soon follows this, drawing his attention onto the familiar sight of Ella.

[20:26] Bradock (katarr): "Oh there you are! We were just wondering where you had run off to. I haven't seen The Harbinger yet, no." The inside reference concerning a hammer is met with a long sigh of apprehension that eventually turns into an over exaggerated groan in protest.

[20:29] Kynaston Chasin did keep watching Asi long enoiugh to see the wriggling of a claw. Cynric tilted his head down and a way, shifting his gaze back to Asi- wondering by the elemental stayed so far away. It wasn't like him at all. He shakes his head at Ella, "As far as I am aware, she held no intentions on showing up this evening... but she still might end up surprising us after all, as it is growing closer to towards the hour I generally see her about when I do. " He steps over towards Bradock and Ella, and would give Asi a summoning over gesture - where two fingers curl inward. "And it is indeed a pleasure to meet you, officially, Bradock. I fear we only have the means at present for offensive magic, but perhaps throughout the week someone can work with you on your defensive ones, or if one here decides they would like to try out offensive spells agaisnt you?" As Tyri enters he gives her a wave, "Welcome! Is there an area of combat you are seeking to gain more knowledge in?"

[20:30] Tief She moved both sword and wrst and arm, "Heres your fulcrum, you are rotating the sword about it, aye?" The hard lever action would snap the blade forwards powerfully. Showing how the steel would end at knife's neck. "And here is the return .... no blow is done until it starts tha next ..." returning it to the engarde position. "Now laddie, heres the trick. You get good at this? All it takes is the slightest tilt of your wrist, and the sword's targt changes. head, chest, arm, leg. It's a last minte adjustment - making it really hard to block." She then turned to Knife. "You see one using this Knights Snap agaisnt you? You cot yo intercept his wrist hard with your haft and stop it short. because by the time you see where the swird is going, its too late or you be dependin' on reflex an' luck."

[20:36] Asi is definitely being like himself, just at a distance rather then in his summoner's bidniz. All the silence and observation, all his hard work ruined instantaneously by a beckoning gesture from Kynaston. To which, of course, he abides with only the tiniest bit of evident annoyance, choosing to stand behind the mage to resume his silence and observation. But closer and more HD.

[20:41] Second Life: Items successfully shared.

[20:43] Jace Blackwell: Jace watches as Tief moves his arm and blade, following through with the technique before repeating it a few times himself, a bit unsure of the new strike he'd just learned. "I think I got....maybe a bit more practice. I admit, I've never been shown this particular technique before. Actually some in the past favored edging forward, likely leading off with a shield bash. I've had a few people show me some things as they came and went. Some were Wardens even!" He would then catch sight of Tyri, his attention shifting likewise and he began to grin like an idiot, trying to wave at her, his shield moving back and fourth like some kind of awkward banner or something. "Hey, come to learn how to fight have you?" He called out to her curiously.

[20:47] Knife narrows her eyes as Jace is distracted by the arrivable of Tyri. She flips her glaive around and takes her ease. "If this were combat then THIS is the moment I'd take to strike. Never, ever take your eyes off your foe unless you absolutely have to." She nods to Tief. "If I encounter someone using the Knight's Snap like this, I'll rely on my greater reach and go for the legs or the head, and keep them circling."

[20:52] Misty (mistypeterson): looking over to the man that greeted her as she entered she says"at the moment i am furthering my healing career, so i can heal people in need." she looks over to Jace grins as she waves at him. she says" you better pay attention to what they are teaching. I dont want you to get hurt when something bad comes along"

[20:53] Tief reaches out and playfully swats jace's neckguard. "Knife gots you there. Never ever turn your back on an opponent. you ever see one a bloke pull a full circle with a greatsword? take a step away and thn clock him in tha back whn he ain't turned to you." She then nodded. "You got the just of the blow. Find a pell, practice. Most importantly, donnae just throw tha blow. Watch your sword move, see where it pivots, the punch out, the pull back. once you realize how tha blow works you can start adding power .. an that starts in your legs, to your hips an finally your arm." She then took a stp back. "An tha's enough for a night, aye?"

[20:53] Ella 'Armisael' Moraeu 's eyes impressively watched as Tief taught the duo, remembering having met her in the tavern where she had declared for herself to be the one with the prettiest horns in all of the isle. Far enough to not feel any discomfort around her, Ella keeps one eye on the ensuing duel and turns and smiles at Cynric with a sigh "Ah I see.. well I shall leave her another written message then!", she nods at him and then turns to notice the figure he was beckoning at whom approaches them closer, while Bradock explains as to what he wished to train on, she speaks to both him and Cynric "Hmmm I do think I can help with demonstrating basic Evocation and some useful Thaumaturgy... Are we asking the people that are interested to sign up on a notice or just show up over the days that the training is offered? I do hope we have enough people to cover security when the training and demonstration duels go on.. wouldn't want a fight to break out and get out of hand...", Bradock's groan is met with a coy sm

[20:53] Ella 'Armisael' Moraeu: eyes and lowers her voice for only him to hear "What is it going to take you? Barely half a sundown? Besides you do need to ensure the house is protected... ", she turns to take note of Tyri and nods at her in greeting as well, the smirk not leaving her face as she -advises- Jace.

[20:54] Tief looks at the time and eeks .. midnight, east coast, and work tomorrow, tieflings must sleep!

[20:55] Bradock (katarr) nods somewhat at the mention of noone knowing the schools ofm agic that he wished to advance in. "That's too bad. Guess I'll just have to keep swinging my sword around until I find someone that knows the arts until then. If anyone wants to chuck fireballs at me, I could probably use the Mage Shield practice regardless." The beckoning gesture given to the Elemental forces Bradock to turn to see just who he was motioning. Until that too donged on him. "Oh, is The Pond bound to you?" To anyone who wasn't there for that brief conversation, the question must of sounded absolutely bizarre. "But not her-" A thumb points over his shoulder to Ella. "She cheats in spars." Obviously, Bradock was still sore about the last outcome of their fight. Turning back to Ella, it is with a playful grin on his face. Rather suddenly, the male bends at his waist in an attempt to place a kiss along her cheek. "When we go home after this I'll work on the warding, promise."

[20:57] Knife gives Jace a salute with her glaive before strapping it back in place. "It was a good lesson.. thank you, both." She straightens up and smiles.

[20:57] Ella 'Armisael' Moraeu wishes tieflings good night! ))

[20:57] Knife: (( goodnight everyone.. heading home with sword-sister ))

[20:58] Misty (mistypeterson): ((have a goodnight))

[20:59] Jace (harutotokishima): (sleep well))

[21:01] Jace Blackwell: Jace just glances between the two, a smirk on his face as he replies "Hey, we're not in a real fight here. Just some practice, it's all good." He then turned his gaze back to Tyri calling to her "It's just a bit of practice. Worry not, I'll be fine if something really does happen..." His voice trailed off as Tief saluted him preparing to leave. He would return it prompltly, fist to chest as he bowed slightly, then turning to see who all was still about, slowly creeping over to where the pink haired one stood.

[21:03] Kynaston Chasin seemed satisfied enough by Asi's general approach and closer-erness. As Jace loses concentration to welcome in the new arrival and Tief calls it, he gives a well deserved round of aplauds- to Tief, Knife, and Jace himself. "Well done, well done. Yes, that was percisely it. That was fantastic! All we need is that sort of stuff for the remainder of the days, as well as encourage people to try out the target practicing games to test their skills, than advance on to a spar if all parties are interested." He turns back to Ella, "Speaking of writen messages, do you know anything on the Wyvern Hunter Sister, like.. is this a wyvern, or a sister of someone that hunts wyverns, specifically that is what I am asking. Otherwise we are just asking people to show up during the scheduled times. It is why nothing in specific is planned, so that we may tailor it to suit the individual needs. We do have a sparring platform for magic though." He motions towards the wooden circular stage that had the monolith

[21:03] Kynaston Chasin: type of combat style has its own area.. stall.. if you will. While we can take multiple people target practicing at once, we will need to limit the amount of spars taking place." He sifts slightly as Bradock outrights asks him about Asi. And atlast he slipped an arm around Asi and drew him in closer. "That assumption would be correct, Bradock."

[21:03] Tyri Lhinneth: walking over to Jace, she says"well i am glad to hear it. I didnt want to say it but you looked funny and made me laugh."

[21:14] Misty (mistypeterson): ((well you guys have a goodnight i am going to log off.))

[21:14] Bird Ix'Chirp (jaden.tyles): ((Nini Misty))

[21:14] Ella (maiacalhoun): (( Oh i missed Tyris post! Sorry for the delay! Nite Misty! ))

[21:15] Ella 'Armisael' Moraeu narrows her eyes, not clearly understanding what Bradock meant but notices the way the elemental is spoken to by Cynric. She mock punches Bradock on his arm, "Don't you dare! I won that fair and square! -YOU- are the one that steals peoples muffins.", she jests and returns the kiss to the cheek and nods "Aye.. we need to do that at the earliest... I am not sure I like the neighborhood much", she sighs and then focuses on Cynric's next words "Wyvern Hunter Sister huh? Why have I not heard of this? What is it that you have heard? I am sorry I do not know of anything such.", she seems thoughtful but looks at the platform set for magical combat and nods "That will serve well for demonstrations!", as Jace approaches after the practice session to stand beside the healer, she nods at him as well.

[21:18] Asi helpfully contributes to the scene by existing, not much more than that as involvement would take away from blatantly staring down the spar that had been taking place. As there was a distinct lack of injury, blood, and dramatics the whole process was as confusing as it was intriguing. "They behaved better than you and 'Baker'," he notes to Kynaston as the man pulls him in even closer with Bradock's question and so signals the end to the staring party. Bradock, given the punch from Ella, now seemed to be in a spar as well, and so warranted more staring whilst he idly attempts osmosis on his mage by way of slowly bending and reshaping his form around the man.

[21:19] Bradock (katarr) lets his eyes drift between Asi and Kynaston as he wraps an arm around Asi. His head tilts curiously to one side ever so slightly. "Great! One day you'll have to teach me how to summon a pond." If at the very least, Bradock appears genuine in his interest to learn more regarding the magical arts. Once the demonstration with Jace seems to have ended, a mirror of Kynaston's applause is given towards him at the departing pair, though a skeptical glance is given to the Tiefling as she departs. "Good work, Jace." The punch in his arm causes a narrowing of his eyes as he reaches across his chest to clutch the area Ella had punched, feigning an injury despite the armor decoration adorning it. "Ow. Yeah, I'll get it done. Don't worry your pretty little head. Wyvern Hunter, that sounds familiar? Didn't Jace mention her once?"

[21:19] Jace Blackwell: Jace nodded to Ella first, still grinning like an idiot, then to Braddock before glancing back to the keep, then to Tyri. "I'll see you soon I hope? I've a few things to take care of first." He then returned his gaze to the married couple replying "If you'll both excuse me.. I've some things to tend to. perhaps I'll catch up with you two later at some point?" He asked, before turning to head toward the keep once more.

[21:23] Kynaston Chasin perked a brow at Ella's physical treatment towards Bradock. "Must have been some nice muffins someone had in those baskets than." He smirked a bit. "Actually that is primarily all there is to it, is if anyone has any information on the death of the Wyvern Huntress Sister. But I was curious if this was a thing or a name, if this is a wyvern, or a huntress... or wyvern that was a huntress. See its unclear. So I was seeking information out on clarification." He chuckles. "Aye, Baker and I.. well I believe both of us were seeking to prove something and we both hit hard enough to damage.. so it was unavoidable for there to be some.. injuries.. even from an unarmed spar." Speaking back to Bradock, "I am sure there will be pleanty more time to speak on those things then." After Jace annouces his departure, he speaks back to the two beside him," For now I fear I grow tired as well, and shall be departing. But I will be back here tomorrow, of course."

[21:28] Ella 'Armisael' Moraeu blinks as her memory SLOWLY jogs into action "Oh! Her! the one with the javelins?? She did come seeking for able bodies to avenge her sister.. whom I believe is laid to rest hereabouts...from that fateful day.. why do you ask?.. ", she grins "If by Baker you mean Gerald? That man is a mountain.. I had much difficulty in a spar with him as well", she shakes her head and smirks "Aye.. his muffins are very good indeed... the ones that Bradock stole!", she chuckles and nods at Jace "Indeed... we shall meet soon I'm sure! Maybe a proper spar as well is due! I do wish to train my reflexes... my weapon is cumbersome and leaves me rather slow..."

[21:32] Jace Blackwell: Would stop over hearing something about wyvern hunting, javelins and a sister. He would look over to the group, an eyebrow raised. "Are you all talking about Helen Sonne, "The Javelin Woman"? I remember her, we met awhile back. She was seeking vengeance for the death of her sister, a fellow warden as I recall. Esme Sonne. As I gather, it all happened during that attack on the keep the night it was burned down. Has she been back recently?" he asked curiously.

[21:32] Bradock (katarr) raises a hand so that he could wave towards Jace during his departure. "See you around ,Jace." The mention of the Wyvern Hunter and her dead sister seems to ring a bell,e especially as Ella fully reminds him of the situation - a Javelin thrower hiding in the tree above Warden's Keep. "Oh right, her. I can't imagine hunting Wyverns with just javelins." A faked glare is swiftly shot to Ella when the topic of delictable pastries arises once more. "I did not eat yor muffins, you wouldn't share them with you. Plus, you cheated in our duel, punch me in the shower then -lie- to our colleagues about me. You are such a -terrible- wife." This all said in a tongue in cheek tone.

[21:38] Kynaston Chasin nods, "Ah, so it is an actual person and not a wyvern. Well this is good to know though does prove that I know nothing on it. Just that there was a note on the bultain board," He gestures towards the one by the gate, "That said that were seeking information. But it seems that you only know of the woman seeking the information, and not the information to which she seeks. It simply appears it is still unresolved. But You both seem to know more than I did." He grins, nodding to the name Gerald. "Aye, he was a bit rough with me when the two of us sparred. I was rough back! But it makes senese the muffins were his if they were worth stelling. And sure Ella, we will spar soon." He bows to them all, before seeking to slip off.

[21:40] Jace (harutotokishima): ((mmm blueberry muffin ))

[21:44] Ella 'Armisael' Moraeu nods and looks in the direction of the bulletin board "Oh that is new.. but good for those like me with a bit of a sluggish memory! Well we do not exactly know what she was seeking for, but for revenge... on whom personally she did not say.. but I do have some information on who is supposedly behind it, leading the pack as well I am assuming, I will write it all down and give it to Randy maybe, so he can send it to the Harbinger when she is around.. ", she narrows her eyes once more at Bradock "I -did- not- cheat-", she sighs and shakes her head, throwing her hands up in the air, "Never mind.. you will never accept.. such a wonderful husband you are!", she nods then at Cynric who seemed to be departing "Well then Cynric.. we must indeed duel.. and have a good night!", she nods at the elemental as well.

[21:47] Bradock (katarr) shakes his head from side to side. "Nope, you cheated... somehow!" His pride too great to admit she had beaten him. So, he was absolutely adamant that she had cheated somehow. Kynaston slipping away is met with a waving of his hand towards the man, and the elemental that accompanied him as well. "Seems the Keep is clearing out. You ready to head home, or was there some place you wanted to stop by first?" he asks of the light haired woman to his side.

[21:48] Jace (harutotokishima): ((ty for the rp, imma log for now))

[21:49] Ella (maiacalhoun): (( You too!! nini ))

[21:49] Bird Ix'Chirp (jaden.tyles): ((TC Jace!))

[21:51] Asi stops trying to absorb the mage as the man takes to being more animated and so renders that task impossible. The whole walking away thing and all. Pond critter would naturally follow after once it's reshaped better humanoid again, and of course after bowing to Bradock and the lovely spar happy non cheating Ella.

[21:53] Kynaston Chasin paused for a moment within his departure, giving a thankful bow to Ella. "Yes, see when I first read the note I was curious because I happened to over heard some people speaking about having killed a Wyvern. But I should have known my luck was too poor to happen to over hear anything that the Warden's would find to such value. But I see now that it relates to your task you spoke of, if this sister of her's was Indeed killed during the fires. Than it is more than likely the wolves are the ones to inquire the information from but they seem to be a tricky lot. But yes, I am sure that any information you have would be of value." He gives a shrug, as he wasn't in the -know- about which information would be important or already known about the case. He brushes a finger over the shoulder of the chittering Asi as he catches up, before continuing on out the gates.

[21:54] Ella 'Armisael' Moraeu shakes her head "I DID NOT CHEAT!", she huffs and actually stomps her spar happy boot clad feet in a totally ungainly manner for a warden. Sheesh. She then nods at the departing mage and his elemental and looks at Bradock, fake upset and muttering "No.. nowhere... lead the way... and just you wait.. I am dumping a whole load of nails and a hammer on you once we get home!"
