"Those dastards didn't hesitate to make this difficult," Tomoe muttered, gripping her shielded naginata as she surveyed the conditions. Dwarves on one end, and heavily-armored men on the other, the likes of which Tomoe had never seen in her home; both groups were set upon the company that Tomoe was assigned to.

[i]It certainly wouldn't help at all to fail my mission out of the gate,[/i] Tomoe thought. She had to be careful; the many assassins she's deterred over the course of her career do not compare to the scale of these troops.

Tomoe charted out the best method to get through these swaths of enemy units; both sides were fraught in strife, and the dwarven soldiers appeared to be using axes and bows. That being said, their proximity and numbers made it clear (at least to those unfamiliar with the Varjans) that the dwarves were the ones that needed to be cleared out.

Also there were a couple of them moving towards Jarde. Not good.

Tomoe, with both hands, held her naginata so that the shield was slanted diagonally. She decided to enter from the side of the dwarven archers; while their sight was trained upon the fliers, Tomoe could very well at least disrupt them. In addition to that, the wyvern rider appeared to be their target, and it would buy her more time to regain control and land safely if the number of shooters was thinned.

Tomoe ran in, blade drawn and shield forward. She made a quick attempt at eye contact with Taka, then with Roane, hoping this would indicate that she’s no enemy. Then, she swung her naginata around like a door, barging into the dwarven archers. She set her sights upon Prince Jarde, making that connection her first priority. However, she checked to make sure she wouldn't be surrounded; the Guard Naginata only offered such a radius of shielding.
