[ The castle can be a happening place, even on more mundane days. This log is for random interactions over the course of this month.  Because not everyone is into parties, ok.  

You are encouraged to start your own threads and tag around, and feel free to threadjack into any on-going threads that aren't specified as 'closed' in the subject lines since people can enter into rooms even in the middle of what's going on. You can also specify 'single thread', meaning you want only one response for all participants, rather than multi-thread, where a number of different scenes/threads can be done as replies to the top prompt. ]

Hey! [Nevermind knight/squire hierarchy... Charming isn't really fond of the way that this poor kid (he thinks?) is being bashed on in the training room. He approaches the pair, his own sword already in hand from when he planned working on his own technique.]

Take it easy.

[oftheband]

[ edain just looks unperturbed, smirking as aurelius tries to compose himself ] Never knew anyone to learn from easy.

[uncease]

I doubt he'll learn much when he's got a concussion, either.

[Intimidate 25. Back off, mother trucker.]

FEEL FREE TO IGNORE BUT I JUST FOUND THIS. MY BAD.

[oftheband]

[ oh my god edain literally got a nat 20 will save. he is so unimpressed that he gives a raucous laugh and spreads his arms wide. ] He'll learn not to do what got 'em the concussion a second time. Think he's my pupil, meaning no one asked for your input, pretty boy.

I FIGURED YOU JUST STOPPED FEELIN IT. NO WORRIES.

[uncease]

Yeah? Well, asked for or not, you're getting it. [He cuts his gaze over to the squire.]

You alright?

THAT IS NEVER THE CASE X(

[oftheband]

[ aurelius opens his mouth to obviously complain, and edain steps up to charming and pokes him in the chest ] I said, step off and let me train him how I choose.

[uncease]

I'm not going anywhere. [Jaw set firm, he tenses his grip around his sword. He didn't sign up just to walk away from someone being bullied.]

Or maybe you want me to leave because you're afraid I'll show you up.

[oftheband]

Well, well, pretty boy does have some bite. Care to back that up by showing the boy whether you're worth learning from?

[uncease]

[Charming steps back and takes up his sword.]

Ready when you are. [Because he's too much of a good guy to take a cheap shot at you, sadly.]

[oftheband]

[ grimly: ] 'm always ready, boy.

[uncease]

[Charming lifts his sword and moves to swing, a bit unrefined, since he's pretty pissed off right now (attack 15. if that manages to hit? dmg 5).]

[oftheband]

[ edain releases a raucous guffaw, easily stepping back away from the blow. he swings a leisurely blow towards charming (atk 23, dmg 9) ] Have to do better than that, Precious.

[uncease]

[Better? He can do better. Charming grits his teeth and comes back with more force and drive, clearly not interested in holding back. (attack 25, dmg 7).]

You talk too much.

[oftheband]

[ that connects, and he only laughs again, gleeful instead of bothered by the pain. ] Just keeping you on your toes. What's the matter, can't do two things at once? [ he slams down another attack (27, dmg 5), obviously enjoying himself ]

[uncease]

I though this was about teaching the kid. I doubt you're here to instill your wit. [Charming is really not doing a great job right now. He steps in and swings, but VERY NEARLY loses his sword in the process (rolled a 2, total 10 for attack).]

1/2

[oftheband]

[ edain grins ferociously. ] He could do with a dash of my charms. C'mon then, you wanna fight me or are we just here to dance? [ he easily sidesteps charming and slams his blade against the back of his knees with the flat of it (called shot 28, dmg 6) ]

[besmitten]

[ and at that moment, who should wander in but a certain beautiful sorceress... do you like how i added in a back-dated scene for us to cover post-sexy times here, i'm so sneaky. concern is writ across her features as she steps up next to the befuddled aurelius to watch. ]

[uncease]

[Oh ho~ You sly dog...

Charming catches sight of blonde curls as he moves after Edain's blow (spot 14), but he's a little too busy to stop fighting just because shit is about to get awkward. He's very focused on the fight, managing to land another blow as he swings to try to force the other man back (attack 23, dmg 4). He just can't seem to get the power behind the blow like he wants.]

1/2

[besmitten]

[ edain steps back, the sword managing to hit him. from the sidelines, amara's hand twitches... and charming gets this cast on him.

[oftheband]

[ edain heaves forward again abruptly, grimacing. (atk 24, dmg 10) ] Enough playing. Step aside.

[uncease]

[There's a strange feeling that washes over him, like he can go the distance, like he can fucking beat this guy.]

Who's playing?

[He swings his sword with amazing precision to cut his opponent down (attack 28, dmg 12)]

[oftheband]

[ the slice takes edain entirely off guard and he staggers a bit, smile dropping into a scowl ] Well, there he is. [ someone ain't playing now (nat 20, 22 hp) ]

[besmitten]

[ amara's not done, and she waves her hand again, adding even more vigor to his limbs ]

[uncease]

[Even with his stalker girlfriend trying to lend him a helping hand, Edain's last blow brought him to his knees.

(Amara's first spell gives him temp HP equal to her caster level but... idk what that is. But that last hit put him at -8 of his normal HP so just let me know if he's unconscious or not....)]

[besmitten]

[ her CL is 20 so... he's still up! ]
