Terrin looked about curiously; his allies all appeared to be heading towards the enemy leader and the last remaining soldier. The mage was confident they would finish the job before he could join up with them. Indeed, it's unlikely he could even investigate the houses before the foes were done with. He instead looked off to the east and noticed that of the duo Ecquis had gone to aid, one of them still remained. He ran as close as he could- Not that close given the mountains in the way -and yelled over at the man in question. "Hey, I noticed Ecquis came and helped you and your friend. Are you okay here? If you didn't follow them due to an injury, I might have a vulnerary..." The mage rather loudly yelled at the man as he fumbled around to find it, not realising he was in fact in perfect health. Apart from the obvious, that is, which Terrin also failed to notice because of the relative distance between the two of them. Regardless though, better to stay and ensure this man's safety than run forward and accomplish nothing while his allies finished off their foes. Move to T20

"Hey, new girl, Luka. I uhh... Would really appreciate your guys' help on this if I end up taking an axe to the face. Or even if I don't, really." Terrin just ahrugged, thinking back to how wary he had been of approaching the jailer in their first major combat together. His face hadn't beckme particularly more axe resistant since then, but he was a fair bit more powerful, at least. Perhaps enough ao that he wouldn't need to worry about how axe resistant his face was. He put on a faux-confident smirk before running beside Luka. "Y'know, I think I heard something too, but no idea where it come from..." Terrin remarked, rather akin to how he had acted when mockng Hoshiko in the battle against Maris, to the dancer. Almost by habit of his last foray into comedic mockery, Terrin even struck a heroic pose before his spell was cast. MOVE to P19 and BRING DOWN ELECTRICKY JUDGEMENT PREFERABLY WITHOUT MISSING on Burt.

"Wow, you're... A lot more handy with that tome of yours than I'd expected." Terrin mused as he watched Serene defeat one of the archers with her flames. "We need to stop recruiting talented mages, I'm starting to look bad." He joked lightly, before turning to his own target. MOVE to Q20 and ATTACK Archer 3

Tfw everybody noticed and discussed Ame's plot reveal about saying goodbye to someone in her announcement, but when I hid a similarly interesting plot reveal in my most recent announcement like one person picked up on it and there was no discussion. feelsbadman

"Thanks Luka!" Terrin smiled, glad that the dancer hadn't been hurt before he could redeem himself and kill the creature. "I'm gonna backup Ecquis and the new girl and go after that other knight. Between those two and the four of us, we should have no problem saving the strangers over there. I trust you three to have my back if things get dicey." He said with a nod before rushing forward to be near Ecquis & Serene's position and flung open his tome once more. "You two need a hand?" He asked with a smirk, before staring down the knight before him. MOVE to P21 and ATTACK Knight 3

I swear to god, if Terrin misses again it will be so incredibly embarassing.

Despite her not defeating the creature, Saffron's incredible show of skill made Terrin look oast his earlier cowardice and failure, invigorating and inspiring him to keep on the offensive. "That was incredible, Saffron! I've got your back, I won't miss this time!" Terrin announced with vigor as he approached to finish off the knight she had weakened. He purposefully put himself in range of the other knight and one of the archers to the east, in case Luka chose to revitalise him again. Even if not, if he could draw the knight away from Ecquis, the rider's chances would be a lot better, given both archers would almost certainly target him. "Meet your end, foul creature!" The mage roared as he flung his tome open. MOVE to L20 and ATTACK Knight 6

Ahem. FUCK that woman and her bullshit false promise of a Gengar. That said, if it's to do with getting the megaring, Steven ir Mr. Stone are both reasonable options as people have suggested, but also worth considering Korrina & Gurkinn could fill that role too (although less likely given they'd need to be spritd and all). Then again, the cameo could be completely unrelated to Mega evolution. Time will tell.

I want it to be AZ, just so I can see how Ame sprites freakishly tall, tbh

I thought NPC's were only allowed to get brought back from 0 hp one time, not 2? So I guess we failed the optional objective? Plus fatal usually means fatal... Rip Radburn. At least Luka is fine, which is better than I was expecting for this phase

​"It, uhh... Looks like only one of them can reach you. I don't think you'll need a miracle but... Well, you may need a lot of bandages. Dammit, if I had've managed to kill that thing..." Terrin cursed, he certainly didn't feel good about hiding behind the dancer but if it was that or die himself, he couldn't afford to make the wrong decision. "Sorry." He said simply as he shook his head, this was his fault for rushing in and then messing up his attack, and now Luka was probavly going to seriously get hurt because of him.

"Well uh... As much as I'd like to try again and redeem myself, if I stay here I think, uhh..." Terrin mumbled to Luka as he looked around at the proximity of all the knights. "I'm pretty sure I'm gonna end up on the wrong end of three knights' lances which would probably be just slightly fatal..." He murmured nervously as he tried to gauge the correct position to run awa- umm, retreat to. TACTICALLY RETREAT to J21 and pray that Terrin didn't just save his own bacon by sacrificing Luka's.

"Knights, huh..." Terrin murmured to himself as he looked over at the nearest group of enemies. Those things were strong, and the idea of being hit by one was somewhat worrying, but they were usually very slow, not to mention naturally lacking any real resistance to his magic. "Perhaps if I was able to run away in the event of things not going quite right..." The mage pondered, before glancing over at Luka. "I really wish I was wearing my old armour right now but... Now is not the time for cowardice." He sighed gently, hoping nothing went wrong as he ran towards the nearest knight. MOVE to J18 and ATTACK Knight 5

"Hey, you gonna need any backup?" Terrin called out as he followed Ecquis' flight path with his eyes, shortly before following it with his feet. He knew Wyverns couldn't take magic very well. Admittedly, mages couldn't take lances to the face very well either, but who knows how resilient these... Things were. Better safe than sorry, and Terrin could usually shrug off magical assaults rather easily. MOVE to H20 and ATTACK Mage 3 (If it survived Ecquis' attack)

Geez, Klaren and Ecquis are pretty low on health, did Maya not heal them up between chapters?

Apologies again for the rarity and lack of quality to my posts, I'm not gonna have wi fi for another 2ish weeks it seems, which sucks, but I'll keep on trying to post consistently and keep up with stuff (don't wanna stall the battle or miss out on supports), just hope you guys can bare with my posts not looking great till then, phones n' stuff are annoying.

Terrin raised his eyebrows at the events unfolding, and turned to Feri. "Klaren, and now this girl... Am I missing something here, or are all mages except us just a little bit... Odd?" He whispered, before just shaking his head. "I would suggest you try to blow out these flames with your magic, but I get the feeling our new friend here might take issue with that course of action." The mage just sighed once more, hanging back for now. He kept his eyes trained on this new woman, curious as to whether she would divulge any information about herself beyond her name.

Terrin had stayed more or less silent during the discussion of where to head, listening to what everyone had to say before finally speaking up. "It seems most of us are pretty set on Caelum, then." The mage remarked with a small sigh. "I should be able to help us if and when we deal with any lesser noble families. I'm not the most well-liked noble in Caelum, but people trust me. They trust my family, my mother. If nothing else, I should be able to get us audiences with anyone we need, I would hope. We may only be one of the lesser noble families, but there was a time my mother was famed as the the most beautiful woman in Caelum and... Well, I have a lot of siblings. We're a very large family." Terrin just shook his head and cringed at the general implications of what he had been saying, folding his arms a bit as he began pacing around. "My brothers and sisters don't much like me, but they're all good men and women, if we can get in contact with any of them, they'd likely be willing to offer whatever aid they can. The nobility of Caelum can be prickly, and difficult to deal with, but if Saffron was able to convince the Misguided Children with her passion and honesty, I think we could make many allies in the same way." Terrin explained reassuringly. He was, in truth, a little nervous about the possibility of reuniting with his family. The siblings who had no love for him but trusted and would protect him almost unconditionally, the mother who adored him but was shrewd and practical enough that getting her to throw her weight behind Saffron would be a far greater task. Even some old friends and acquaintances of Terrin's could easily be met. And while he had hoped to not meet all these people again for a while yet if his connections and name could help their cause, he was glad to do so.

Apologies I've not been active these last few days, won't have proper internet for a while so it's being a bit of a hassle. Gonna have Terrin actually contribute ti the IC but won't be able to do the portrait and to coloured text until I finally have internet sorted out, sorry abiut the delay on this.

"Ah, I see, umm, well Klaren, that's..." Terrin babbled a bit as he was somewhat put off by the way the monk had been feeling his shoulders. He shook his head and cleared his throat as he began to process what Klaren had just said. "Wait, is that really all it takes, just having faith in the Goddess? Huh." Terrin folded his arms a bit as he thought. "So I guess most acolytes can pick up the magic quite easily? I have to say though... You're far unlike any holy man I've ever met before, Klaren. I, uhh.." Terrin paused a bit as he thought more on all the strange mannerisms. Towards anyone else, Terrin would have meant that as a compliment, but he still wasn't quite sure about how Klaren's strangeness made him feel. "I guess the order accepts acolytes of all sorts, huh?" The mage decided to close with, scratching one of his shoulders slightly uncomfortably, before looking between Feri and Klaren.

Sorry, I was just sorta waiting for Feri but Terrin can reply to Klaren too, whoops
