Xiao Shan


Xiao Shan rubbed the back of her head, tilted to the sides. Looks like she was quite literal in her understanding.

Though when she mentions a challenge, that had her stood straight and arms crossed. Ears perked up as Xiao Shan resisted the urge to twitch when Yuying reached into her pockets. Especially so when it's three small jars, and one fit for throwing despite the string wrapping around the thick waxed paper at the top.

Seeing her juggle them quickly before a quick toss towards her, Xiao Shan caught it gently and catching the top part instead of the body of the jar.

This was the worst kind of challenge, one of wit rather than force.

Well, for a Tang, she supposes this was par for the course.

After all, it's possible that she just passed her the poison one. That's the obvious move, but what if it's the one without poison? That was also a possibility.

For all she knows, all of it could be poisoned and she wouldn't know better. More so since it's highly likely Yuying has the antidote. Yet she also seems honest, in her own way. Otherwise why even pose the challenge in the first place?

Well, only way to go forward.

Xiao Shan unwrap, took a sniff, gulped and bottoms up the liquid contents of the jar down her gullet. Taking an exaggerated swig as she used her training to drink it all down in one singular gulp.

Though her other free arm rested behind her body and out of Yuying sight, Xiao Shan focused on every skin pore and qi she had. Ready to expunge the liquid she just drunk if it was poison.

After all, Yuying said to drink it all but never said she can't purge it right away. It's within the spirit of the challenge.

Gunthar

Gunthar dragging the cart halted when he heard his name mentioned, his actual name and not the number assigned to him.

Turning towards it and seeing Talia, Dante and Fenn, asking if it's okay for them to follow. Gunthar shrugged and nodded.

"Okay." His deep voice echoed out and continued to place the fully filled cart, took new ones, return and showed the way. Once close enough, he gestured to them with a wave and a good distance away from the end of it. Their light barely able to see it and Gunthar showing them so they know how fast they needed to stay away."Here, I work."

"Pick any you want. I break fast, so no worry." He said, it wasn't exactly his job to find the correct minerals or ores anyway. His job was to break things apart so he usually just leave it to the others to sort it out.

That done, Gunthar went back and continued his endless work of boring fresh tunnels. His pickaxe gouging and biting deep into the rocks and walls, the thunderous sound echoing and ringing as he rent his way.

Perhaps he might dig into something interesting, another cave perhaps? That was fun, but rare. Breaks the monotony.

Xiao Shan


Well, this is odd. Xiao Shan thought to herself as she rubbed the back of her head, ruffling her wild hair as she looked at the spectacle unfolding in front of her.

Tang Yuying is certainly living up her name as the mad woman as she glanced to the people gathered and used for whatever she intended. That she noticed her appearance despite being a first-time meeting also demonstrated this was no simpleton, there was skill behind that madness or eccentricity.

What kind of techniques does she use though? Perhaps poison? Or something far more insidious-?

Ah, she's going off-course. Xiao Shan cleared her throat and spoke in a much more reserved tone.

"There's a poster requesting that you're to be found and brought in." Xiao Shan said before letting parting her arms wide. "So here I am."

"So follow me and let me bring you in." She bluntly stated to Tang Yuying and thumbed back to where the Golden River Inn was. "You can run afterward."

Honestly, it was the best arrangement, she gets paid, Tang Yuying doesn't waste energy and focus more on running while still having a chance to escape. A win win scenario in Xiao Shan opinion.

Skarsneek of the Red Hill

Hissing as his attack was bat aside, Skarsneek continued his assault nonetheless. He cannot afford to let up the pressure, otherwise-!

A spear being thrown towards him at a speed faster than it should, Skarsneek didn't even had the time to evade and swung both of his weapon to intercept it. At this point, he moved with pure instinct and caught the spear. Yet such was the speed that he barely glanced it away and it cut his arm instead.

Gritting his teeth, Skarsneek used the momentum to spun around and combined both club into his quarterstaff in one smooth motion before thrusting outwards.

From Kalaj perspective, it was like Skarsneek's club had extended forward into a blur as it was aimed squarely to the chest. The blow struck directly at his armor. Most of all, he took special care to avoid any head on clashes with his flaming sword.

Now with an additional reach, Skarsneek utilized it to the fullest by striking Kalaj wrist and fingers. Even with armor, it'll break or disable his sword arm, especially since despite goblins small stature, they possess a grand amount of strength to lift clubs that are usually as big as their body.

Hopefully, Kerry might get another weapon or intervene.

Gringor of the Ironhide tribe

"Youz the underboss, and this is your scrap." Gringor pointed out the obvious with a raised brow, despite his behavior, Gringor was ultimately here for the fights, and not to command. That was Takeshi's job, he has to get his opinion first before doing his own thing. He was not a savage after all. "I won't mind if you make me underboss."

"Well, youz gonna miss a fun scrapping then. I'll save some for youz if you do come." Gringor uttered in a mangled zipangese as he watched Takeshi left to go for the mad boi.

It wasn't to his taste but he was not one to judge. Some people like to stick in crazy.

Eyes turned to where the Alice general direction of where she was headed, Gringor then got onto all fours like a dog and sniffed the ground exactly like one. Taking a sniff of the air, the scent of the Alice was finally picked out. It was a day old, which meant it was the old track.

Shrugging and rolling his shoulders as he stood back up, he gave a meaty whack to his neck. Seems like it'll be a tough scrap. The technique itself was a secondary concern, no, his focus was purely the opponent that shall meet him on the way.

Gringor slammed his fist together as he trudged fearlessly, grinning from ear to ear.

This was exactly what he lived for then.

Got the character to rest at least, so there's that.
@PaulHaynek@Enkryption

Gringor of the Ironhide tribe.

Looking at the weird boy leaving after that, he supposed that it can't be helped. Those are really the weird boys and he can't be bothered to work out the inner working of one.

Well, at least she is going back to town for a rest. Maybe finally gotten too tired. Gringor thought, getting rested for another scrap was good. No fun if they can't really enjoy it to the fullest.

Turning to Takeshi, he gestured to him.

"So what youz planning to do now?" Gringor pointed to where the weird boy Alice would've went. "Continue?"

"Or go back to the others?" He then thumbed towards the town where no doubt, the spider, rabbit and not dead girl went instead. Gringor wasn't particularly picky at the moment, as he had a fight, won, and gotten the body warmed up for another.

He'll even call it a good day with how things are going right now.
Gunthar

Moving his shoulder, Gunthar moved forward as he picked the specially made hammer for him. One end blunt and the other sharpened like a pick. A normal human would've struggled to lift it alone by himself, Gunthar picked it up like it weighed nothing as he pulled the cart behind him, with no else needed as he headed deep into the mines.

Reaching his area, Gunthar hefted his tool and struck into the rocks. Not to mine but to tear and gouge. Easily cracking stones in his path as he continued a steady rhythm, break the stones, dig through with the other and shovel the rest into the cart. Barely half an hour before he was already moving back out with cart in hand to dispose of the earth and obtain a new one.

So on and on it goes. Strike at the wall, break the large ones into smaller pieces, shovel them into the cart, move them at the end, repeat and repeat.

Gunthar felt his blood boil at times, he wasn't the smartest and there's food but it wasn't enough.

He wanted to see more, the fabled mountains of where the ogres once came from. Outside of this camp, anywhere besides this place.

So with that, he swung and worked his frustration out at the mountain. Carving stones, earth and even sometimes the precious mineral as he bore down with his hammer relentlessly. It reached a point where he had to stopped as he found the debris at shin length, forcing him to stop and shovel all of it while taking multiple carts.

@Saiyan@EmmaZ

On his way out, covered in dust and dirt, his eyes met with the trio again and nodded out of habit to them as he carried the cart loaded with soil and dirt behind to dispose off. Only grunting deeply as he focused on his job.

Skarsneek of the Red Hill

Skarsneek grinned as he kept the distance at a close as he kneed, slammed and struck the warrior mages as fast as he can. They had to lower the number differences otherwise they'll get the advantage in the long run.

So with a powerful kick, Skarsneek got rid of the Immortals assigned to him. He was about to aid Kerry before a new presence made themselves known, walking out in blue and gold armor. Flicking his hands to the sides as the warriors created a sword from thin air, which then began to spark and erupted into a flaming.

A warlock from the scarce legion? Then again, this invasion was already poised for the entirety of Zipangu, of course they'll bring all the heavy hitters that they can.

Seeing the warlock gestured to them, Skarsneek spat to the sides as Kerry approached him for a plan.

"Overwhelm him." Skarsneek kept it simple, looking around for any objects that he can utilized. The net was done, so all that's left are baskets, oars, and maybe dried fishing baits.

He'll have to improvise from what he got then, Skarsneek thought as he twirled his club before thrusting it out, then swung upwards. Catching a straw basket handle and sending it flying, doubting it'll be any use of a distraction as he snapped to the left, hoping that Kerry will follow up to the right.

Skarsneek feinted a few times before striking low at the knee caps, wary of the fiery sword and avoiding it at all cost but continued to close in beyond common sense. He had to, bringing it to this close range where he can't swing that sword effectively or use any spells was paramount to their victory.

Though if that failed, as Skarsneek continued in a flurry of attacks. He can hope to drive the warlock far enough to shove him into the river. Then once that's done, they might have a chance.

@Enkryption

Gringor of the Ironhide tribe

Seeing the weird boy suddenly continued their brawl had taken him off-guard for a moment. Was this really the time when they're on the job?

Not that he was complaining, but there's a war to be won. They can do it later when they're resting and not mid-journey.

So when she stopped and talked to Takeshi underboss, Gringor didn't hesitate.

Flinging his foot forward, it landed squarely on her chest but not to damage, his intent was to push and off-balance her enough before he slammed her down to the ground as gently as he can.

Swinging once, his axe was inches away from her neck and gave him near control over her as he shifted his foot to kept her pinned down. He had no time to waste on exercises like this.

"You lost, means you follow what I say." He declared before lifting his weapon away from her neck

"So where you going?" Gringor didn't really paid attention to what she was searching but he figured if it was important enough that she had to go back despite bashing so many heads in, it has to be worth something.

Once he did received his answer, Gringor would lift his foot and let Alice lead the way. Letting Takeshi ahead as well for now.
