(Ah heh heh... Sorry for the lateness... And no worries with team two's village. I'm all over it.)
Emma sighed, "I think I'm going to get depressed if this is how you guys are going to act. All serious and Train like..." Emma said as she nudged Mendoza into action.
"Mathias was it? Earlier Gene had asked Tia more of less how she fights. It is a good thing for us to know while we form strategies. So, how about on the way you share a little?" Emma suggested, starting set the pace for their traveling. It was beyond a trot, but still under full-blast. She didn't want to kill the horses the first day of traveling. Besides, they wouldn't hear Mathias over the thunderous hoof noises.
(I'd say we're ready for the time skip. Either after Raolain posts or he could fill it in afterward.)
Train grumbled a little as Tyrone gestured him onward. He was surprised that he didn't do it himself. Train was sure that Tyrone understood that he and Enyo were not the most sociable people around. Plus he figured Tyrone would rather do it just being used to it.
The village was just about as unimpressive as Train imagined. It consisted mostly of a few huts and about five semi-decent single story buildings. They were really poor to say the least. As the trio approached, several of the residents started to come out of their homes and gazed in awe. Perhaps they wouldn't have to figure out which of the five buildings was the tavern/pub. There was no defenses put up, probably because there wasn't a lot of people and they would likely be torn apart by the fiend.
"This ought to be easy enough." Train cleared his throat for moment. "We are the Team sent by the Hunter Guardian Corps. I am Train Memori, we need information on the fiend before we can get started. Who wants to talk?" Train 'asked' at the end. He looked around a little while they waited. Based on most of their auras they were just nervous. Some were clueless, others, for some reason, angry. "Nobody? How about you? You obviously know something, based on your emotional response." Train said. He was particularly rude, all the time. But it usually resulted in a response of some kind.
(Stoic, I only ask that you design the fiends because I don't know what you had in mind. Plus I have no idea how large or tiny as far as ability goes for our purposes.)
Isaac couldn't help but chuckle when Kiro was reprimanded. It was one of those tee hee moments, but he was smart enough not to actually say 'tee hee.'
Inside the village, Isaac was actually quite surprised at some of the looks he got. Some of surprise, some of snootiness, a few admiring looks. Those were definitely welcome as far as his own thoughts were concerned. He sat in silence, letting William take the lead, not that Isaac would ever try to get it away from him.
Hearing a slight noise from Kiro, he glanced over to witness his action. "Did he just sniff the air?" Isaac thought rather curiously. He decided to take a venture and a whiff himself. It was quick, and he smelled nothing special. He only stared skeptically for a moment, before checking his halberd.

Enyo observed all the townspeople who were watching them as Train called out to them. She watched each person closely, studying them. Her bright piercing eyes seemed to glow in the presence of the shambled town.
"Tell us what we need to know." Enyo persisted right after Train finished heckling the same people.
Tia was spacing out by now, thinking about their previous little conversation. My teammates think I'm wothless, don't they!? Tia thought to herself, looking off into space for a moment.

The guard led the group of Hunters and Guardians through the streets, which were laid out in an orderly array, and to the large cabin like building that stood in the center of the town. The building was plain, other than the fact that it was much larger than the rest. Treated wood and plain glass windows, which were small and spaced infrequently. The guard walked up a short flight of steps to a small porch and walked across it to the simple front door. He knocked and within a few moments the door swung open. Another man holding a spear stood there. He and the man escorting them conversed quietly for a few moments before turning to regard the group.
"This is Vargas. He'll show you to our mayor." Said the guard who had escorted them. After that he simply brushed past them and walked away, back down the streets.
After the guard left William was able to get a better look at Vargas. The man was large, tall and heavily muscled, with broad, powerful looking, shoulders. He wore a trimmed beard and had long hair held back in a neat tail, which framed his boxy, angular, face rather well. He wore rather simple armor, a steel breastplate and a simple armor skirt. The spear he held in his hand was very thick and had a wicked barb at the base of its jagged shaped head. There was also a round shield strapped to his back.
"You'll have to forgive Shep, there. He thinks we should be handling this problem on our own, instead of paying for people we do not know to take care of the matter." Vargas said. "Honestly I think we might be able to do it, though not without losing lives. The problem comes from the damn things spirit. There's no way we could combat that. Damn, look at this, here I am rambling on and I'm supposed to be taking you to the Mayor. Follow me, please." He said.
Vargas then led them all into the building, through several hallways and finally to a door which stood open, showing the interior of a room which was simply decorated, which seemed to be common, based on the rest of the building they had seen. The room sported a few wooden chairs, and a tapestry on one wall. The opposite wall held a round shield like the one Vargas carried with a spear and a sword crossed underneath it. It also contained a desk, behind which sat a man who looked much like Vargas, only older.
"Mayor Giraldi, The team from the HG Corps. is here." Vargas said as he led the group into the room.
"Welcome." Giraldi said as they entered. "I'm glad you made it here safely. Well, shall we get right down it, then? We have a fiend problem and we need you to take care of it." He reached into a drawer in hi desk and brought out a small pouch which, judging by the clinking, was filled with coins. "This is the agreed upon amount. I'll be leaving it here," he set it down on the corner of the desk. "For you for after you've dealt with the monster. Any questions?"

Mathias smiled at and inclined his head to his teammates," Certainly Emma. I was trained mostly by my fathers guards and trainers. I'm mostly trained for infantry and cavalry style fighting with my sword, and using a shield while on foot. Other than that I was schooled extensively in battlefield tactics." He grinned and breathed out a sigh," Oh I can't wait...my first real mission..."

((Alright everyone, here's the deal: SilverGriffin is dropping out from this roleplay, which she was kind enough to inform me of. This will leave an empty space on Team 3's roster. For the sake not having to explain why Yazira is suddenly gone without a trace we are going to say that she never left with Team 3 in the first place. We have a new member, Kittyhufcheez, We are going to say that it was his character Sven, who was with Team 3 this whole time. We'll keep Yazira in the story, but she went on emergency leave or some such thing... in case Griffin ever desires to return.
Kitty, if you read this make your posts in GREEN so that they match Team 3. I'll get a recap for Team 3 posted for you soon so you know what's what.))

((Alright, here it is. For your benefit, Kitty. Your teammates are Matthew and Malkin.
Matthew is a large man who specializes in grappling, he wears somewhat traditional martial arts style pants and shoes which a sash. He doesn't wear any upper clothing other than his breasplate. He also wears gauntlets which blades along the tarsels(the striking part of a fist). He is a pyrokinetic. He is immune to fire and can only control fire that he is in physical contact with.
Malkin is much smaller, average height, and lightweight. He has some skill in medicinal alchemy. He uses a very large sword and is part fiend, which is evidenced by his golden eyes and his curling horns, which he covers under a large hood.
Team 3 is headed to the North-North-East Province of Callivert(There are maps on the first page) to search out and destroy a tortoise fiend. They have found the village, but it appears to have been ravaged and deserted, with many dead villagers in evidence. The team is attempting to discern more information about their target based on the damage it left behind.))

Kiro took small steps wandering around the room. "Yes, I have a question." Kiro began. "Have you seen the fiend yourself? If so, about how tall is it? Do you have a brief description?" Kiro asked quickly, but smoothly so it was easy to understand. Kiro wanted to know as much as he could about this fiend, he was starting to get excited again.

((It's currently somewhere between morning and noon...ish... Also, Storm, your character will still be at the HG Corps. Don't worry though, there is still at least one character there for you to interact with: Kimiko. Other than that, it's all NPCs for the time being.))
"I've only seen it in glances. Vargas and a few of his men have been able to garner a better look at it though, I'm sure. Vargas." Giraldi said and motioned for the other man to speak up.
"I've fought it a few times now, mostly just trying to scare the damned thing off. Anyways, it's about a dozen feet tall, maybe taller. Insect like, green. Walks on four legs, but its still got four more besides, the last four bladed. Its upper body is straight up, so it's head's hard to get to, but the things got big pinching claws around the mouth, and the antennae are long and whip like. Its whole body's hard, like a normal bug, but this one's tough as armor." Vargas said to the assembled HGC members. "That about what you were looking for?"

Kiro nodded. "Just need to jump twelve feet in the air, dodge four blades and two whip-like antennae, and then cut through skin-like steel without getting caught in pincers." Kiro restated what Vargas said but in his own way.
Kiro turned to his group. "Sounds do-able." Kiro said bluntly.

Memories ran wild in the girl's dreams.Memories than were more of nightmares than dreams..
Fayn sat straight upright in her bed,her blue eyes wide open."Ugh.These bad dreams just keep coming.."
The recent graduate of the Calivert Hunter
Guardian Corps muttered,rubbing the sleep out of her eyes as she glanced sleepily towards a mirror
Her red hair stuck out like a porcupine,which made her look as if she was wearing a sea urchin that was dyed red on her head.
The girl rolled off the bed,smoothing down her hair as she removed her bed clothes and pulled on her regular guardian outfit made of light armor and her jeans.
Fayn pushed open the door to the outside,shielding her blue eyes with a hand as sunlight burst through the open door.It was a nice new day..

(( So, since the last post for our team was directed at Yazhira I'll make so as it was intended to me instead, and since I don't have a dog with me I'll take it as if you just directed Matts question over to me. It seemed most the appropriate. Also, Sven is most overjoyed to have Matt and Malkin as his teammembers since they are those that intruige him the most with thier powers/appearance. Matt has gained powers that are almost like his, but also sort of the opposite (fire and ice), and it was through some outside force (the orb). Malkins appearance have changed in sort of the same way as Svens did, and he suspect they are fiendish in nature (which they are, I don't know if the others know, but Sven does not as of yet at least) but he isn't certain. Writing this here because I'd have baked it in into my posts on the trip there, but now it's already over so. ))
"Well, no, I don't know how to track either. I've always had someone else do it for me when I was.." He stoped midsentence when he noticed that Malkin wasn't listening and had already trailed off into the village and instead yelled "Tell us if you find anything!" to him. He then turned to Matt. "We should start looking too I suppose. I'll go over here." and then went into the almost opposite direction of that which Malkin had gone.
