Temple of Salamander The Temple of Salamander houses a sect of pacifist fire-worshipers. These clerics of fire harbor a magic of healing and protection, and offensive fire spells are strictly prohibited within the fold. The Temple is constructed of fire-baked adobe, and the spires are designed to resemble an open flame. Inside is a common eating area, a main place of worship, several rooms for the clerics, and an inner garden.

Skidding to a halt on the street in front of the temple of Salamander, a white van stopped, shaking slightly back and forth until it came to a complete halt on the side of the street.
The back doors swung open, and Team RAIF was on the scene.
[ Insert theme music. ]
"Okay, let's get this s**t on the road." James shouted, hopping out of the back of the van in his traditional black overcoat; though carrying with him two black briefcases, one in each hand.
"We'll head south, and take the high ground."
At that, he pointed to the tall tower in the distance, from where they would be able to see throughout the city.

Abel jumped out of the back, a slight hiss of steam as he bent his knees. Calmly he stood up and held his hands behind his back.
"Where ever you say." He smiled.

Behind the van came the horse and rider, both clad in gleaming plate armor, the rider's lance bobbing with every motion of the gallop. Bred for endurance and strength, Yves was only slightly winded when the van came to a stop.
Visor up, Anna nodded to Josh, then made sure that the radio she bore was secure in the harness she'd constructed at the last minute. A check of shield, sword and lance, and she was set.

"Yes Sir!" Sey said, eagerly hopping out of the van, staff in hand. Kissing her medalion and staring up at the heavens, Sey closed her eyes for a moment, praying to Falis for his protection and guidance over her Teammates.
"James," She said quickly, dropping her medalion against her chest and walking over to him quckly, grabbing him by the arm and turning him around.
"Don't leave with out this."
Kissing him on the forehead, Sey blessed him, and would be able to know if he was hurt or being attacked immediately. Going back down to her normal height, Sey turned to each and every member of team RAIF and pressed her lips against their foreheads in turn, blessing them and beaming brightly.
"May Falis watch over us all." eek

The motorcycle was right behind the van. Alber dismounted his bike and set his helmet down. He walked up to James and looked in the direction of the building. "Sounds like a good idea."

Abel received the blessing.
"Why thank you," Perhaps his smugness was offesting his new teammates. I mean they only knew him for less than an hour.

Alber got a kiss the moment he had joined the group. He blushed a little, seeing as Sey had begun growing on him. "Thank you for the blessing," he said with a nod, mostly to hide the blushing.

Sey "James," She said quickly, dropping her medalion against her chest and walking over to him quckly, grabbing him by the arm and turning him around.
"Don't leave with out this."
Kissing him on the forehead, Sey blessed him, and would be able to know if he was hurt or being attacked immediately.
Before she parted, he wrapped one arm around her waist and pulled her up, kissing her on the lips after she had kissed him on the forehead.
"Okay! Let's get to that tower and find these damn destructo bots!"
James jumped back into the van, ready to leave as soon as everyone else was in, if they were coming.

Stryphe, after receiving his kiss from Sey, surveyed the area around them. He knew there were others being drawn to the city, others like them. Who they were and why he would never be able to tell.
And wether they were friends or not? Well, Stryphe and his companions would have to find out.
"Thanks, Sey," He said, shouldering his halberd.
He hopped back into the van.

Anna would be the last of RAIF to be blessed, having to lift the diminuative Sey onto Yves' back to be reached for the kiss. She smiled again at the Priestess, then turned back to James.
"High ground it is." She waited for Sey to be secure before wheeling Yves around to head south.

Alber returned to his motorcycle, still idling, and put his helmet on. He waited for the van to move again.

"Thanks Anna!" Sey said, holding onto Anna and her staff.
"Let's MOVE!" blaugh
