Mistihkoman crept closer and closer to Logan, his short, stout form hunched over to leave him low to the ground. Oh he's going to get the man, and there is almost nothing anyone can do about that. Well unless someone plays to the Native man's sense of helping others. That dark look on his face fades as he straightens and sees that Barnabus seems to be in danger. Mistihkoman for a moment weighs his options. But soon he's turning and with a purposeful dangerous stride starts towards the man and the pair of goons attacking him.

Ah but it's not that easy, for another of their group had flanked the Native Scout while he was stalking Logan. And as Mistihkoman prepares his arm, he feels two heavy arms wrap around him from behind and a smoke burned voice cry out, "I've got the redskin! Someone help me!"

Oh he's not going to let that happen so easily. With a push all his weight and every ounce of strength in his back Big Knife kicks at the floor driving himself and his grappler back bang into the wall. For a moment the arms holding him are free. Mistihkoman raises the arm holding his tomahawk, above his head then down and forward releasing his grip, the hand axe almost buzzing as it flips end over end through the air...

Mistihkoman feels arms lock back around him but his eyes are on the tomahawk, it flips past several men who dive out of the way and...that wet sound of skin, fabric and bone part. As the axe bites into the cyclops' back just left of the spine, so close if just a fingers width to the right it would have paralyzed the man. So close. Mistihkoman shouts to Barnabus, "Use this time moniyew! Use my tomahawk even!" Then he feels arms close back around him fully. Locked in the embrace from behind.

As usual there is a steady sound from the smithy that Koglan Ironweaver works out of. It'd been three months now since he had laid with Siwa and given her his part to her litter. And a few times since then she'd returned. Much to his quiet amusement. He admits that she's interesting company. On top of that her idea to start fashioning rings, necklaces and bracelets has paid fruit. Those strange coins that the humans use for currency he believes the word is, had come in, for his work he got a small amount of them and had learned that they could be used in trade. Which confused him to no end. It sounded like the humans could use them to buy goods and services, unlike with the goblins where all were welcome to their good and fortune as long as they put in the work. It didn't quite make sense to him, not really.

But from those fruits borne from making adornments he'd increased his iron supply and his ten few steel ingots had growned to nineteen, good strong steel to be used when the right time came. At the moment he's working on a knife, a good long curved blade, something at scout or hunter might use.

As he works heating the weapon billet he looks out the window to his forge and sees someone he was not expecting. That looks like Siwa. And he's really not sure why she'd be here at his forge any. He hums and places the knife billet on the edge of the furnace and uses a rag to dry and wipe his hands clean. Then walks towards the door to his forge. Waiting and watching the young gobliness approach, arching a brow curiously, "Hello there, young goblin." He starts then quirks his head to the side, "What brings you here? Are you okay Siwa?" He looked her over and her obviously gravid state. He hums softly curious for her reasons.

So I see. I've been busy most of the day, I'll try and get in a post asap I swear.

Final Fantasy 7 Redone

Wasteland growled and was getting closer right up until she saw that shard of rock lancing towards her, she dug claws into earth slowed abit then hurled herself to the side. At the same time Lex had fired a few more shots into the smoke when he heard a sound he hated. He dropped to one knee as the return fire came at him. He ducked his head to weather the return fire. By the time he lifted it most of the smoke had cleared, he swore rather loudly, something about fornication. Then teared towards the jeep they had left, he whistled as he raced over, shoving people aside as he ran, not stopping to see if they were hurt. He couldn't just leave it be right now not after this got started. As he vaulted the hood of the jeep Wasteland is right behind him, he jumps into his side of the jeep, kicks open the door for his dog, who then closes the door behind her. Yep, using those big jaws of hers.

All the adrenaline in his system allows him to get the jeep started in record time, and they tear out of the little shadowy spot they had found, in pursuit of the bikes and chopper. He dug for his cellphone and rang up the first person he could think of, after abit he said, "Mr. Tseng? Sir? I'm following the target and two others on bikes right now with a chopper above us too, who's in that? Sir?" He swerves around a slower car in the road, "Who ever is in there sir, I hope they got some skills, the target has magic abilities, tore up the ground at my feet to throw off my aim." He swerves around a large truck in the road, still in pursuit, "Anyway I'm in pursuit sir. I'm not losing this target."

Cool. Looking forward to reading it.

Academy of Noble Arms - The Golden Generation

Oli Cinter and Jordan Quinn

Jordan came thumping into the gym, and up to the office spotting Oscar and Henry. He slows abit then resumes his jog, waving to them as he comes closer. He puffs and comes to a stop beside the other two, "Oscar Helgrem and Henry Durand right? I'm Jordan Quinn, any idea what is going on? It's kinda strange." Jordan knows of the other two, he's seen them at a distance, and kind of knows what their Noble Arms can do. He looks between them then scratches his head, "What the hell is this all about exactly? Why would the three of us be called here?"

Another of the doors opens as he's finishing the last few words of his last bit of speaking, Oli strides in, "How about I answer that folks." He grins brightly, smoothing a hand through his grey beard. He smiles, "Thank you all for coming. I'm quite happy you all showed up." He walks up to them and smiles, one hand in the pocket of his coat, "Our Director is making waves across the nation, both good and bad. Things like this are good for the school and for the people in general, it shows we're taking steps to expand and to promote new ideas. As you may surmise this has gotten the attention of governments and other notables, not just organizations but people too. And we have two of those people coming in later today." He looks the three over, "Oscar Hegrem, Noble Arm, The Sword of Truth, silvered, gilded with gold, can only hit the target you want to hit, and will not harm the person who you're not attacking, about right?" He chuckles, "I'm a gym and math teacher..." He laughs softly at himself, "Ahem anyway, Henry Durand, Noble Arm Jahreszeiten Wechseln, a fellow fist weapon user." Oli holds up his own fist respectively, "Always nice to see others." Finally he turns to Jordan, "And Jordan Quinn, Noble Arm La Longue Carabine, a musket type long rifle, long range energy attacks." The teacher nods slowly, "You three represent a very interesting team. And the Director put your names forward for this."

Oli comes right out with it, "We have two members of the Filipino Senate coming in later today. Paolo Benigno Aguirre Aquino IV better known as Bam Aquino, and the other Samira Ali Gutoc-Tomawis. Important members of the government and community. And during their visit we'd like to keep them as safe as possible. So the director put forth that you three be their bodyguards while they are on their visit." Oli looks the three over, "As much as I'd like to say you have the time to think this over, this event is going to happen today no matter what, and we need your answer post haste. So, I can go back to the director, directly and tell him whether or not you all agreed. So, what do you say? Will you take this oppurtunity up and watch over the two senators when they arrive later today?"

It's quite a serious thing to ask of them. Jordan taking a moment after all that, looking at Coach Cinter, and then at Henry and Oscar, trying and likely failing to read what they might think. Jordan nods, "Okay, that's alot of responsibility. Protecting visitors, but then this is kinda like what we are training for right? As daunting as this feels, and as scary as having the lives of two people set on my shoulders, I'm willing to take that chance." Jordan nods, "I'll take up this chance. I and La Longue Carabine will happily help to defend these two senators." Jordan nods confidently in that moment, "I'll do it."

Oli smiles. Thinking to himself, That's one, can we go for all three?

I just want to be ready is all you know?

♠ Showdowns & Saddles ♠

I got the impression Mistihkoman was sitting next to Mr Logan.

@Landain

I actually never said, and originally figured Mistihkoman was across the table from Logan. But hey I don't mind if he was sitting right beside Logan instead. Don't matter to me either way.

@Aristocles
