While Hanani had remained silent during the entire exchange, mostly because he knew he would more than likely say something that would diminish Detta's attempt at befriending the creature, the fact that the assistance of a Troll would be great did not allude him. "I could Vanish you to give you a larger element of surprise," he offered to Sigurx, "It will last until you attack something, so it could allow you to get into the middle of them before exacting your own brand of revenge for what they have done to you."

While he waited for the Troll to answer him, he was met with a minor annoyed sound in his mind from Mercy who is simply not for helping the creature. However, he simply ignored her words of protest and brushed off her attempt to push her will against his, the attempt puny at most. "As much as I may not care, how do the rest of you feel about this idea? It will make his distraction far more effective," he told them, turning to his group of comrades. If they liked the idea it would only solidify his resolve to do as such, the Troll agreed to help them so he would at least give the Troll the best chance to act as a distraction to allow the group to get where they needed to go. While he simply viewed the creature as a tool, he knew the importance of ensuring the Tool was used to the fullest extent that it could be, this was the only spell that he could think of that would be useful to Sigurx.

Record: 33 wins 11 loses

Army Registration

Name: The Imperial Legion
Theme: A dominate Samurai arm utilizing Bushi and Shugenja, they rely on magic and futuristic armor/weapons equally. Their style of fighting is focused on the variety of Bushi school techniques and Kata while the Shugenja focus on elemental based magic and no armor due to its limited range of motion.
Units:

Bushi Infantry

Pikeman

First line of infantry defense, armed with spears and heavy armor. Spears are relatively standard though they pole is made of a heat resistant alloy due to the energy focused at the spearhead causing it to glow a soft blue, or green… or any color really.

Death Seekers

Samurai stripped of status due to bringing extreme dishonor to themselves, their Lord and/or their family. RAther than being executed or allowed the right of Seppuku, they are sentenced to fight in battles until such time they regain their honor through death in battle. Their weapons of choice vary.


Matsu Heiku - while she is not a Hero, she is the face of the Death Seekers

General Samurai

The meat of the infantry, this is comprised of various Bushi families and varying styles as well as weapon uses.

Tsuruchi Archer

The best archers of the Kingdom, they utilize a variety of energy bows.

Heavy Cavalry

Comprised of nothing but Utaku Battle Maidens, their Ki-Rin steeds and their Shugenja Travelers. The Battle Maidens often wear light armor or specialized riding armor for easier movement on horseback. The type of Ki-Rin ridden varies, though there are only 4 types, Earth, Fire, Wind and Water.

Mounts

Unlike most horse mounted Cavalry, the Utaku Battle Maidens do not utilize standard horses, instead, they have a close bond with Mythical beings called Ki-Rin. Ki-Rin are elemental spirit horses that have special abilities and magic based off of their element.

Ki-Rin of Fire

These Ki-Rin will burn anyone other than their rider and a Traveler to an extreme extent, initial touch gives 2nd degree burns, longer contact causes worse burns.

Ki-Rin of Earth

This Ki-Rin is the strongest and has Skin as hard as Stone, this causes conventional, non armor weapons to be ineffective against it. It poisons anyone who touches it other than its Rider and a Traveler, the longer the contact the more severe the poisoning.

Ki-Rin of Wind

This Ki-Rin can fly at extreme speeds. It suffocates anyone who touches it other than its Rider and a Traveler, if contact is broken the feeling of suffocation diminishes. It is the only one with 8 legs.

Ki-Rin of Water

This Ki-Rin is the fastest on land. It drowns anyone who touches it other than its Rider and a Traveler. Prolonged contact causes a slow filling of the lungs with water, starting with a hacking cough.

Utaku Battle Maidens

Each Utaku has a bond with her Ki-Rin, making it so only she is able to ride it though any Traveler may touch it, as well as individuals that she and the Ki-Rin give express permission to. No one, no matter if permission is given by the Utaku, is able to ride the Ki-Rin other than the female it bonded with.


Armor is actually purple.

Air Units

The Dragons were born from the primal stuff that existed before the universe was created, born into substance as was all else. Each embodied a concept, and drew its power from the existance of that concept. First among the dragons were those born of the elements:Air,Earth,Fire,Water, and Void. They were the mightiest of all dragonkind, and in their wake followed their sibling Dragon of Thunder, born of the storm and the fire within the hearts of men.

Incase you were wondering, yes… they can use magic and if they really wanted to they could use weapons. But I mean… they’re dragons who can do cool shit, why would they be carrying a katana?

Shugenja

Shugenja were the priests and scribes of Rokugan, as well as the envoys of the fortunes and kami and the keepers of their clans' secrets. They were able to create powerful spells by offering prayers which were written upon scrolls called ofuda.The magic of the shugenja was drawn from one of the five elements: Fire, Air, Water, Earth, and Void. While all Shugenja can use all the elements, with the exception of Void, they all have a specialization.

Kitsu Shugenja

Water Shugenja
The Kitsu Shugenja can learn what an individual’s ancestral history is and use that connection to negate their abilities. They are the anti-mage Shugenja. They have the capability to heal allies, make them faster, slow down the enemy and summon an ancestral spirit which acts as their Yojimbo.

Inferno Guard

Fire Shugenja
The Inferno Guard was the most famous sub-unit of the Firestorm Legion, specialized in using the threat of Fire and its horrifying destructive properties to influence enemy actions. They rarely numbered more than a few dozen shugenja. Only a handful of non-Phoenix shugenja had ever been accepted into the Inferno Guard dojo. They defended positions by creating walls of fire, they protected by immolating archery fire from the sky, and they obscured by filling the skies with thick plumes of smoke.

Soshi Shugenja

Air Shugenja
The Soshi Shugenja school was based on illusions and its very close to the Soshi traditions, and was mainly taught in the Dojo of the Closed Eye. The Soshi traditionally were expert on tejina, but after the War Against Shadow these knowledges were given to Yogo Kakatsu and a new small dojo was created to teach and control the Shadow magic.

Tamori Shugenja

Earth Shugenja
The Tamori Technique allows for greater versatility in the use of spells, extended so far as to allow others to use them in the Tamori’s stead, if proper preparations have been made. The Technique also allows for a dramatic reduction in casting time, but again only if adequate preparation time is provided, making the Tamori particularly deadly in ambush situations.

Isawa Shugenja

Void Shugenja
The Isawa Shugenja were the clansmen for whom the Phoenix Clan was known. They were considered by many to be the most versatile shugenja in the Empire. Unlike most families, whose shugenja schools focused on a single element, the Isawa Shugenja had different teachers who would allow a student to focus on any of the five elements. Void Shugenja specialize in the ability to alter fate, steal info from people’s minds, make people forget and change the fortune of allies and enemies.

Iuchi Shugenja

Traveler Shugenja
The Iuchi Traveler school was amply trained in the use of magic to transcend the usual constraints of space, the Travel Magic. A traveler could make in hours a trip that would take weeks for anyone else. The Ki-rin Travelers counted only the most powerful and senior shugenja. After the Khan's Defiance there were less than a dozen Ki-rin Travelers remaining, though now their ranks have replenished.

Hero Units

Seppun Akari

Daughter of Seppun Kogan, Seppun Akari is not exactly a MockZ, in fact, she is an actual human being who simply joins the Shugenja in battle as their ‘General’. Trained by the Kuni, her forte is Earth Magic, yet thanks to her travels she is able to improvise spells with relative ease, merging elements to create secondary effects.

Akodo Saito

Yojimbo and Love interest of Seppun Akari, Akodo Saito is a fiercly loyal and extremely honorable Lion Clan Bushi. Said by many to be a protege, he is well verse in the ways of his Clan’s Kata and overall Techniques of the Akodo dojo. He has a confidence in his skill that often boarders on Bravado and doesn’t back down from a challenge no matter who his opponent may be. Also, NOT a MockZ and the ‘General’ of the Bushi when in battle.

Utaku Sarnai

The new Emerald Champion of Rokugan, Utaku Sarnai is a well known Battle Maiden whose mount while in battle with her fellow Cavalry members is a Wind Ki’Rin by the name of Kaze who is larger than his fellow Wind Ki’Rin. Fiercely loyal like Akodo Saito, the things that she has witnessed have made her battle hardened and fearful of no man, beast or creature. The ‘General’ of the Cavalry, she leads from the front and joins them in battle whenever they are needed. NOT a MockZ.

"It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both."

As the party left the city they were met by a rather large Tiger at the entrance, the creature prowling the sea floor while wearing what appeared to be an amulet and, oddly enough, a cloak. Upon spotting them the creature ceased all movements and simply stared, it's violet eyes sliding over the group before it before huffing and simply prowling a bit more. However, when Cynthia called it's attention once more it let out a far more annoyed growl and moved over, it's eyes hopping from person to person for a moment before they seemed to settle on the beholder of the group. While she did not move right away it was clear that there was an ounce of recognition in the all to animalistic gaze.

Extending out her claws a bit, the Tiger seemed to kneed the ground for a few moments before she ran at them. It was very clear that she was not able to communicate with them in any verbal manner, but that did not exactly matter as she seemed to shift into a blue finned female who darted straight for Dyn. The action was so fast the beholder did not have any time to react before he found himself locked in a hug with the violet eyed female. “FAR!” she shouted, clearly excited to see the many-eyed creature, “It’s been far too long, when did you get here? Why are you here? Who are they?”

Dyn soon found himself being hugged by what had once been a tiger, but now turned to a somewhat more recognisable shape. It had to be admitted, a tiger with purple eyes and the sigil in the shape of a star on its forehead had very much rang bells in his mind, but only now that she was hanging onto his material body, he could tell for sure. “Far too long indeed, Adrevz…” he muttered, a few of his tentacles finding their way against the merfolk woman’s back and joining the hugging gesture. “As for your questions I could well ask the same from you…”, he continued, the last sentence sounding distinctly like it was missing a word from the end. Dyn spun the syllables in his mouth, not really finding himself ready to pronounce them again after all these years. But eventually he would begrudgingly spit out the word he had nearly omitted: “...child.”

The fact that he seemed to hesitate with the last word greatly amused the woman, it was very like him to hold to his word even if he wasn’t exactly pleased with what he agreed to. “It turns out my studies as a druid eventually lead me here,” she replied with a small shrug while keeping the Beholder trapped in her embrace, “Learned some things about my people, managed to also learn some neat things as a druid even though I’m clearly underwater. I swear I need to learn how to grow gills or something while I’m a tiger, as pretty as the amulet is it is useless to me when I’m not in my wild shape.”

Taking a moment, she peeked around the floating tentacled mass to eyeball the rest of the group, but quickly went back to ignoring them. “Looks like you got yourself a lot of minions this time around,” she commented, “Some of them look kinda weird though.”

The bluish-purple ball of eyes and appendages in her grasp took his turn to speak: “You were brought here by your training, I was by the adventuring business. You know how we always stayed on the move”, he responded, not feeling like telling the whole story of what had led to them climbing the pillar. “But at the end of it, we entered this elemental plane through my magic”, he made a reference to that last point in time he really found important apart from their deal with the theullai, but that could be reserved for when they were further from the potential enemies of said creature. A single tentacle of his wormed its way onto Adre’s head, gently ruffling her hair about. She had liked that when she had been an actual child.

“As for that lot… you would not believe the amount of trouble. I don’t even know half of them yet… there’s been a fair bit of change in them lately”, he turned to whispering, trying to keep his opinions out of the ears of those who would stab him in the back if they heard them, “and that makes me uncomfortable. I cannot tell which I can trust since they. Keep. Changing.” He drew back his tentacles, hoping that would guide her to release him from her hold. “Nonetheless, we were hoping to see if you could join us on this journey to the Verdant stream”, he explained now with normal volume once again.

Heading his movement she released him from the hug and backed up a bit to take in the rest of the group. She was clearly not impressed by the way the group looked, her eyes scrutinizing every individual and drawing small conclusions against each person. The only one she didn’t have an immediate issue with was Jill, but the others just gave her a weird vibe. “Yeah, I can help you,” she responded, “You will have to fill me in on why exactly you are going to the Verdant Stream though, it’s not exactly safe.”

The Beholder made a nodding motion. “I shall……. Child. But not now. It is not for everyone to hear”, he shared with her before raising his volume. “Should we not be on the move now that we have our reinforcements?” he bellowed.

After a moment, Nemiea made a noise and shook her head before turning to Jill and Dyn, "I'm sorry but I can't do this," she told them, "There are certain mannerisms that I can not be around and I fear that I would eventually just lose it and try to do something I will later regret. With your leave Captain I would like to remain at the Inn and simply pass the time as I see fit. I was looking forward to partaking on this adventure with you, but I can just as easily work on earning money for the ship for any communal purchases you may need to make."

The Tabaxi then turned to Cynthia, a questioning look in her eyes, "I do hope you know someone who may be able to take my place in the mission that has been assigned to the crew," she told the woman, "My brand of persuasion is about as effective as a slug with the current people around and I fear that people would see through what I am doing because that seems to be the only thing the females I am around know to do. I apologize in advance for any issues my departure may cause, but I have faith in any connections you may have."

Without really waiting for an answer, other than Dyn telling her that he does not fault her for leaving, the young female simply turned and left towards the inn. Her tolerance had been pushed to its very frayed end and that was that. She would not keep company with individuals that would turn her capabilities into something useless, she rather just dance and earn money at the inn instead.

Nemiea was far from pleased about what had just occurred, her clawed flingers curled into her palms and mismatched eyes narrowed on the figure beside her captain. On top of that the Kobold seemed to be annoying her just as much, which was odd considering the Dragon Sorceress had a rather high tolerance for people. Maybe it was just because the being before them had done the very thing they should not have in trying to ask for allies? "I am pretty sure that is enough Koan," the feline hissed, reaching out and grabbing the other female by the back of her neck to pull her away from the Fallen, "Your lack of control is infuriating at best, at worst it makes me wish that it was ok to knock some bloody sense into that empty head of yours. You don't need to try to fuck everything that moves."

Once her grasp firmed up a bit she yanked rather hard on Koan, mostly towards the ground. While she had no want to harm the female, she also did not want to see someone trying to jump the bones of someone they had just met, it was almost like Koan didn't understand what danger was, or did not care. You should never invite someone to your bed until you know they won't slit your throat while you sleep. "Some self control would be nice, Jill I wish you would push the need for self control more," she nearly growled, gods she felt like Dyn right now.

While it was true that she had remained mostly silent during their walk, not really bothering to help much as it seemed Jill and Dyn had it taken care of, she did feel the need to study the newcomer.... without a presumably constantly horny Koan in the way. "The name is Nemiea," she told the Fallen Aasimar, "And as long as you don't pull a stunt like that again I am pleased to have another, hopefully more sane, ally to work with."

Hanani did not say much when the man answered his comrades questions, in fact, he remained completely silent and left to go purchase a couple things right after the man had finished speaking. The information they had gathered was plenty and his knowledge of trolls was well enough that if they did run into one he knew to simply use his fire spells to help dispatch the beast before moving on to better things. Once his potions were bought he met up with the others so they could begin their 'adventure', hoping to simply get it over with as he wasn't all that interested in much else, unless something proved to be of interest as they traveled. Before their rest of the first night he spent some time simply talking to Mercy, amusing himself with the small banter until he was forced to get the rest his body decided to force upon him.

The following day he was just as quiet as before, content with simply listening to the others and only speaking when spoken to if it could not be avoided. When they came across the cave systems, he simply squinted his eyes and took a look inside, figuring the others would look at the prints as he was more interested in what could potentially be inside... which seemed to be nothing, at least not at the moment. "The cave system seems to be relatively silent and made of limestone," he told the others, probably the most he has said in some time in a collective sentence, "Nothing sounds out of the normal nor does it seem dangerous at the moment, but that isn't to say that we won't have some troubles later on if we don't go through quickly."

With that said, he simply pulled Mercy from her sheath and held her in an almost lazy, but natural, manner. When the Paladin asked for the other's opinions Hanani remained silent. He didn't much care about the tracks and he didn't glean much from them regardless, so he felt he did not really have anything to add to the conversation in those regards. "Oh come on, it can't hurt to share some of the information you get even if it isn't-"

"Shush, it is nothing important and the Paladin gleaned about as much as I did," Hanani growled at the sword mentally, his face showing his displeasure.

Hanani looked down at the symbol that the man had provided to them, a frown on his face as he studied the object that held the mark that would allow he and his companions to know when they had reached the entrance they would need to catch those inside by surprise. "Leave it to men to not know a lick about the inside of a keep they are meant to liberate, or have us liberate," he thought crossly, a soft hum of agreement sounding in his mind as his blade, Mercy, made her agreement with his thoughts quite clear. The response from her made his face contort into a mildly amused expression, it was always pleasant when she agreed with him and rather unpleasant when she did not, which happened often with the company of the Paladin around. There was just something about her that Mercy was not fond of, she claimed it had something to do with the female dwarfs moral alignment and often begged Hanani to allow her a taste of the woman's blood, of which he always refused.

"Don't be such a spoil sport," she said to him, catching his inner line of thought, though rather vaguely, "She is just entirely too good for my liking, no one can be that good I mean, come on." This elicited a snort from the Magus, something that his companions should be used to by now even though he had only been conversing with the blade recently. Before it had seemed like such a normal weapon, albeit the color of the blade being rather odd, but when he had reached a certain point in their prior job together she had started to talk and thus earned herself a proper name.

"Nothing really interesting or tell tale about this symbol, it doesn't seem to be magical in the least," he told Mercy, temporarily forgetting that he should be telling his companions the same thing. That was the thing about Hanani, he had spent most of his life wandering the forests alone, learning all he could without help or companionship for the better part of his life. When he was asked to join the Pathfinder Society he nearly refused, finding the company of other's to be an annoyance and completely unnecessary, but they eventually got him to agree. At first he remained silent for a majority of the time, not really talking to anyone and when he did he was fully aware of how rude he was being and didn't very much care that he was. He saw them as lower than himself, less intelligent until they proved their worth to him, now he tries his best not to be as much of a dick, though sometimes he failed.

"Right... so... nothing inherently magic about this symbol it seems," he finally said after a not so gentle reminder from Mercy to share his thoughts on the matter, "Then again, it's not like this drawing is an exact replica... doubt he cared much to ensure that it was as long as it was close enough to let us know where to sneak in." There it was, was only a matter of time before he said something that could be considered rude by most, not that he really cared much about that. Didn't really matter if people got mad at him for stating simple facts, he was right and that was that, do with it what you will.

"Ever the charmer my dear Hanani," Mercy said to him, earning a rather twisted look of annoyance in reply, not that the sheathed blade at his side could see it... everyone else could.
