Prisoners Hold Turn 2 [Player Phase] Viola regains 3 HP Cheat Sheet:

"Well this makes things a bit awkward..." Toshiro mutters to himself as almost all the enemies around him are ablaze in chilling blue flames. I guess he'll just have to power through the flames, or maybe he could just stand back and do nothing as the rest of the group deals with them. The latter option becoming more and more appealing as he stared more and more at it. Then he saw a boomstick being tossed to him and he sheathed one of his blades to grab the gun. Toshiro swaps his Iron Knife for the Boomstick He turned back to the arms dealer, "Thanks, this will help out immensely. Now lets see what this baby can do!" With that he dashed forward at great speed and began firing off rounds all at the floating eyes. Move 1 (Free Action): Toshiro uses his Dash Tech to increase his Dex by 1.5 this Round Move 1: Use the Boomstick on Purple Demon Eye B, Demon Eye C, Cataract Demon Eye A & Cataract Demon Eye B for 3d6+Dex[13.5] split between them Move 2: Use the Boomstick on Purple Demon Eye B, Demon Eye C, Cataract Demon Eye A & Cataract Demon Eye B for 3d6+Dex[13.5] split between them Move 3: Use the Boomstick on Purple Demon Eye B, Demon Eye C, Cataract Demon Eye A & Cataract Demon Eye B for 3d6+Dex[13.5] split between them Conditional: If any one of the enemies die, add Servants of Cthulhu(x3) to the target list.

Lyle's plate was filled with an overabundance of meat. Granted there were some vegetables, but they were buried under all the juicy protein. Lyle stabs a decent sized chuck on meat with his fork lifting the piece towards his mouth. "Lyla you shouldn't be analyzing the food." He then shoved the succulent piece of meat into his mouth, chewed it for a bit, and swallowed before he continued. "I know you want to be a master cook but you still can enjoy food without trying to pick apart everything you put in your mouth."

After Madante went on his way Belros remembered about the armor he stole from the manor. He had no idea what the exact value of it was or if it did anything special but it seemed worth it enough to take. Plus there just so happens to be a merchant who should know a thing or two about goods. Without wasting anymore time Belros went and grabbed the sack the armor was stored in and brought it up to Keanna. "Excuse me, and sorry to interrupt but I wanted to get your opinion on some goods I... 'acquired' from the manor." Belros spoke inserting himself into the conversation. He opened up the bag to show the armor, "What would you say the value of this armor to be and is there anything special to it? Many knights at the manor wore something like this and it seemed to grant very good protection at least."

"I have a feeling she's bound to beat the crap out of me at some point, besides, my reputation has already gone down the crapper anyways so I'd gladly tarnish it a bit more to help you out. Though, if you really don't want to go with the plan I won't stop you and I'll leave you two alone seeing as I won't be doing any wing manning anytime soon. Just make sure you don't back out and tell me how it goes, ya hear?" The spy said encouraging his commander. He held out his right hand clenched in a fist, wanting to give Madante a fist bump before he headed out.

"I see, I will say it wasn't what I expected." The spy said a bit disappointed. He was hoping the story would be a bit more grand. "Anyways, I guess I could tell you my plan since I'm such a nice guy." Belros spoke before leaning in towards Madante's ear to whisper the plan. "So my plan was for you to go talk to Myrdwyn, she's probably drinking somewhere under in the hold. Offer to talk over a couple of drinks and make sure to speak with confidence. Then while you two are chatting I'd join in and start making a scene. Then you come up and give me a good punch across the face. After which Myrdwyn would have so much greater respect for you that she'd want to spend more time with the strong 'take not shit' commander. Plus, no one would even know this was planned they'd all think 'Oh, it's just Belros being a jerk again'. It's the perfect plan I'm telling ya!"

"Ey, the deal was I would never speak about that ever again. So I'll leave the details to your imagination. That is, unless you WANT me to your wing man." The spy chuckled. "But what I'm more interested in are these special set of circumstances. Don't think YOU can just gloss over that without anymore explanation. I want the juicy details, a blade like that isn't given to just anybody." It seems like things have come full circle, funny how things work out like that.

"Yea, yea, still got knocked on my ass though..." Belros spoke begrudgingly taking Madante's hand, picking himself back up. "A deals a deal I suppose and I really wanted to see what would happen between you and Myrdwyn. However I must say, that's quite a blade you've got there. How on earth were you able to acquire one such as that?" The spy spoke examining the sword Madante had used during their battle.

"Hmph fine, then you've forced my hand..." Belros then draws out one of his knives and points it at Madante, "How about we have ourselves a little wager, hmmmm? If I win my rematch then you'll have to take me as your wing man at least once, and if I loose I'll never speak of this again. Does that seem pretty fair to you or do ya wanna raise the steaks even more? Or maybe you don't have the guts to do it." There was a cheeky grin plaster on his face.

"Well, these past few moments have certainly been... interesting..." The fishman thought to himself as he float down the river laying on the water's surface. All this talk about world saving from was quite hard to take in all at once, but in a way this is just one giant job offer that may or may not ever end. "So, going off what the doctor said I need to help the first people I see, shouldn't be too hard. Lets see what we can find..." He poked his head up from the river to notice a group of people preparing to fight a swarm of floating eye creatures. An eager grin grew across his face, "Well, that was a lot easier than expected and it looks like they're already in combat. Good, just what I like." He emerged from the water, clothes and blades dripping as he made his approach. Toshiro jumps forward and slashes at the purple Eyeball with his katana. (Move 1) He turns back to the group showing them his three piercing red eyes, "The name's Toshiro and apparently I've been called over here to help you guys out. Sorry to rush this, but lets save introductions until after all these eye creatures are dead yea?" After which he continues to strike at the same eye, he'd never let a challenge like this slip by him. Moves: 1. Rending Strike on Purple Demon Eye A dealing (2d6+Dex[9]+1d4) damage 2. Skewering Blade on Purple Demon Eye A dealing (2d6+Dex[9]+[1d2 Pure Damage])*2 damage 3. Skewering Blade on Purple Demon Eye A dealing (2d6+Dex[9]+[1d2 Pure Damage])*2 damage Conditional: If Purple Demon Eye A is dead, Attack Purple Demon Eye B with Rending Strike Loadout:

"Well, I guess you're right about that." The spy grew big smile before jumping up in-front of Madante. "I guess there's only one thing we can do about this situation. Madante, YOU are gonna get a date before our adventure is over and I'LL be your amazing wing man!" Belros said heroically, pointing at Madante as his cloak flowed in the air with the ocean breeze.

"Honestly I don't really know. I'm not going to sell it, that's for sure." The man shrugs, "I'll just keep it as a memento for now. Who knows, maybe it'll find some use, probably not though." Belros chuckles. Well, at least he knows not to get his hopes up anymore. Fate is a cruel mistress indeed. "So, what about you Madante? Anyone in our party catches your eye so far? I spilled my heart out so it's only fair you do the same." The spy teased wondering what his response would be.

"You really can't take a hint can you." Belros sighs placing his right palm to his face while he shakes his head. "Look, I was thinking about proposing to Leona. There I said it, ya happy? Though, even if I wanted to I can't anymore seeing as she's no longer among the living and all." He paused for a moment, "What? You really think anyone here would be interested in me? Cadence would kill me, Myrdwyn would break my arm... and probably the rest of my body, Helena would roast me alive, I'm pretty sure Rayne doesn't even know I exist, I hardly even know Clarisse or that new girl Selia, and Emilee is searching for her prince charming which I don't think I qualify for."

Right on time lord Coel. At least they won't be going off on some wild adventure now. Though the thought of Lyla going on a date with this man did not sit well with him. "Yea... nice is one way to put it."

"Actually, until recently I've been saving up for a diamond ring. I actually bought it and still have it. It costed almost all I had saved up but I never got a chance to use it before..." He stayed silent. Who would've thought this would be brought up. "A-anyways, enough about me. How's about instead of flailing your sword in the air you find yourself a sparring partner? So how about a rematch between us? Besides, I still need to pay you back for last time." Belros began cracking his knuckles after he said that. Hopefully this time he won't get taken out in one hit if the man does decide to accept his challenge.

Mercadier finishes off the swordsman with one final strike from his lance. Cheat Sheet:

"Well back when I was still part of the guild, when everyone wasn't stuffing their faces or getting drunk, a lot of us played cards. Stuff like poker or black jack, and you wouldn't believe how many fights were had when people gambled too much of their money away." Reminiscing about the good times at the guild made his smile grow bigger, too bad he'll never experience it again. "Not to brag but I was pretty good. Made quite the amount of money just from that alone."

"So, back to training eh?" The spy spoke walking up to his commander. He leaned his back on the guardrails and crossed his arms. He was feeling a bit more chipper today, and a lot better than yesterday. How long this will last, who knows? He wanted to keep his mood up and decided to speak with the Madante. Plus, talking about their travels thus far to Karik's mother didn't seem too appealing either. "Is this what you usually do with your free time? Just swinging that blade in the air over and over again."

Fish Boy Sheet Merit Record Toshiro Ren

"Alright! Now that that's out of the way, shall we get going? I'm just dying to see what you have to show us." He really wasn't. They really shouldn't be snooping around where they don't belong. Secrets are secrets for a reason, plus the dinner is going to start soon. Oh well, he'll just tag along so Gaven doesn't try anything funny on Lyla. Who knows, maybe he'll prove him wrong.

Jade looks down at his arms as the glow blue and start sparkling with electricity. With this new glow he felt nimbler and powerful, "Awww yea! This is happenin'!" The man spoke with excitement, his voice seemed to echo on its own. He then took aim at the last one in the air, hopefully with this surge he'll be able take it down with one more shot. He's sure on of their group members can take out the one that's bleeding out. Aim to Kill (Basic Attack) on Bel Lahmu C for 3d6+13 damage, 18%+Fluxcharge% Crit Chance, 16%+Fluxcharge% Dodge Chance Jade's Stats

Mercdier swoops down and pierces the swordsman with his lance but the swordsman is still able to strike the pegasus rider on his way back up. Cheat Sheet:

"Either way, lets just call this an 'I owe you' and leave it at that. Because I'll be tagging along either way, whether you like it or not." He speaks bluntly having enough of these shenanigans. Lyle then faces his sister with a big frown, "B-because if I don't come we can't spend time together Lyla and If that happens I'll be all alone and then I'll be SAAAAAAAD." This was obviously a farce to try to get Lyla on his side. Hopefully she'll throw him a bone.

Lyle grit his teeth, now this boy has the gall to ask to trade something with him? Worse, it seems like he already has his slimy finger wrapped around Lyla. Fine, if she's so curious about the secrets of this place he might as well come to protect her. Now what could he offer the boy...how about not getting a face full of gauntlet? "Alright then, how about a nice pony ride on the hills or a friendly sparring match? Any of those sound quaint to you? Unless you want to have some of my cooking. I heard I'm a great sandwich maker, or maybe you have something else in mind. I'm open to suggestions." He said with a hint of rage sprinkled in his voice.
