@VitaVitaAR - Are we free to post those of us who split up? And will you be responding with what they find or see as they work separately?

@harinezumikouken: Yes to all of that. Feel free to control the guards a little though, but leave the six conspirators to me.

For reference, Tyaethe's "charge straight ahead" thing means she's somewhere in front of the rescue-first group. xD

Oh, cool.

Hm, I won't do much with the guards. They'll all just be cannon fodder. Should I wait to see who else wants to join the rescue group?

Hmm, waiting's up to you, since I imagine anyone who wants to accompany them will just follow.

Status update from Suku. She's dealing with some life problems right now, so she'll be gone for a few more days.

Name: Dante Louise Virmire

Age: 23

Gender: Female

Race: Human

Appearance:

Black hair, green eyes (not like in the picture), and stands 5'11
Personality: Headstrong and a bit cocky. She welcomes alies with gusto and with her enemies she is ruthless. Aruna tends to put the weight of the world on her own shoulders. She attempts to prove people wrong, even if it is a danger to her. She is protective and kind to those junior to her and she tries to be respectful of those above her, but some people she just feels... Don't deserve her respect.
Brief Backstory: Dante is from a noble family, The family Virmire, that lives in the south of Thaln. The Virmire family takes pride in having bred some of the best warriors in Southern Thaln. The entire family is built on the foundation of being a warrior. Everything from schooling to eating is all about how to beat the enemy.

Dantes father had been a Virmire warrior, and this made her want to be one of the 'famed' Virmire Warriors who could make a sword duel look like a dance, archery look like an art, and tactics look like philosophy. But her parents knew what happened in the training and they forbade her to go.

Dante never was good at following rules. So when the annual Virmire training test, or the 'Toddler Tourney', where all of the members of the Virmire family come to enter their children into training. Dante snuck her way into the test and took it alongside the other children. Months of secret training in the cellars of her home had their effect, and Dante made it into the training. But now her true test would begin.

The training was grueling. And yet, Dante seemed to be progressing. She was second in her swords training class, she was doing well in her studies, her archery was excellent, and her tactics, while often very strange, amazed students and instructors alike.

At the Virmire Training Camps there is a system for eating, those who do poorly, eat at the back of the table and have dry bread and water. Those who do best, sit at the front and eat fine food. This method kept the children wanting to move up, to get the next seat, to see what the food tasted like at the front. By the end of her third year, Dante was at the front of the table.

Then the accident happened. At one of their training matches A male she was sparring with cheated and snuck in a real sword. Dante ended up losing her right arm up to just before her elbow. There was hope of getting the Limb re-attached by magic, but the only healer who was capable was more than a week's ride away. And so she lost her arm. Instead of quitting the training like she was told to, Dante waited a week, then took some straps from the stable and fashioned a large piece of stone to the end or her arm with it and demanded a rematch.

Dante insisted that the male who had cheated use the same sword he had used to beat her before. She used only a large training shield and the stone strapped to her arm. In the end, Dante pinned the male's sword with her shield and broke his sword in two with the stone on her arm. It was not the last sword she would break, and after that fight she sat at the head of the table for the remainder of her time in training.

After she was released from training, the Virmire family realized how useful she could be, so they had an actual 'Battle Gauntlet' built for her. With her new weapon she set out on every mission and quest given to her by the Virmire family, eventually earning the nickname the 'Iron Dragon' after the styalized grey dragon on her family's crest as well as her unique style.

After running into some Iron Rose Knights in the field, Dante had her heart set on becoming one of them. After petitioning her family Dante was given permission to attempt and join the Iron Rose Knights. She now is on her way to attempt admission into their ranks.

Equipment: one large kite shield with her family's dragon crest on it, as well as her own Battle gauntlet (dubbed sword eater by Dante) which is as long as her own arm and made of steel. It is also etched with a stylized dragon, (and a few self-scratched in roses) Dante also has a full set of light plate armor (though she usually wears heavy armor, she figured lighter was easier for travel.)

Skills:Dante is well practices with her shield and battle gauntlet combination, though be cause of her lost arm, it's about all she can use. Before the accident she was also proficient with a bow and sword. Dante is also used to living on the road while going from mission to mission, so she knows a few things about how to take care of herself without help.

@chukklehed: I was wondering what had happened. I'm glad to know things are looking up, at least.

@Zetsuko: Okay, um... remember, no-one outside of the Iron Roses as of now knows Tyaethe is actually undead, and sapient undead are not considered an abomination like mindless undead. Though there is prejudice to some extent that varies by region in this case no so much.

@Araby264: I'd like to make it clear that this setting is much more egalitarian then real medieval Europe, as demonstrated by all the female knights and famed female warrior Saints and stuff. So... really there'd not be much reason she'd be mocked or anything like that.

There is of course favoritism towards mini cute warriors.

Okay, final thing is that with the setting's healing magic a noble family's child probably could get an arm reattached if it was a clean cut(or the "acceptable" necromancy was used to keep it fresh) since they'd probably get a fast response.

Basically if you want a magical prothestic make sure there's no in-setting way for an alternative.

The prosthetic isn't magic though, it's literally just steel, but I can fix the issue with the setting. What if there was no one near by who was proficient enough to re-attach the limb. Would that suffice?

If it took too long to get assistance, that would work.

Is this acceptable?
