The military camp was surprisingly calm as the freeswords each made their way to the meet up location. The tents of soldiers shut tight as those who now work the nights prowl on patrol. The way to the spot isn't hard to find, with simple signs leading folks along to a single tent with a sparrow woman clad in an officers regalia waiting inside.
Upon the table infront of her is a single box, covered in a plethora of runes and studded with crystals. Alongside it, sits a open map of the edges of the swamp lands, numerous marks have been made denoting breaches and where they have been sealed up... The more concerning factor being how closer to the camps the marks seem to be making their way.
Making her way into the perimiter of the swamplands, Selena breathes a quiet sigh of frustration, or perhaps tiredness. The canine makes her way into the tent, noting the marks of the breaches as she makes her way through the too-calm camp.
"Good evening. I heard you were working on something new here rather than just beating back the Craige. I thought I'd take a look." She greets, looking over the materials on the table for a few moments. "I'm Selena. it's a pleasure."
Kilani lands softly in a clearing nearby, arriving shortly after the canid being. She gives a short sweep of the eyes across the runes on the table, before finally adressing the darkly-feathered being which stands in front of her, and therefore behind the table. The greeting applies to all who are nearby, she supposes. "Greetings." She stares at the strange badges and symbols on the avian for a second, before continuing. "I have read about these... Craige. I feel it would be beneficial to take a field investigation." She omits her name for the time being.
Fenris saunters along the trail, hands jammed deep in the pockets of his specially tailored trousers. It was hard to find something that was resilient, had lots of hidden storage space and still managed to keep him from looking like a squeezed puff ball. A silvery little golem frolics along at his feet. He stops at the command tent and gives a loose salute and an uneasy look at the box. "I'll bite," he says, "What's in the box?"
Zuri follows in after Fenris, the small salamander dressed in his combat leathers and loaded for bear. He races in to join the rest of the group and peers at the map curiously while waiting for Rokarion to catch up.
Rokarion moved in after Zuri, partly because he wanted to check this device and mostly because he did not want to let his salamander go face something dangerous alone. The youth entered the tent, giving everyone a nod of greeting as he inspects both the map and the box.
Lucasiel makes her way through towards the camp, dresses up in her armour, shield at her side. "We have something to give us an edge?" She inquires plainly, helmet still perched on her head. She was certainly dressed for the battle she expected. "That is all I need to hear."
The sparrow officer looks to those who arrive, walking forward slowly to gently tap a finger on the box. "I am aware of who you are Selena, I frequent the academy. As for what is in the box, well let us say it's more complex than what I wish to describe. Now, as far as something to use against the Craige? That is what you will establish." The sparrow points to the map, where a recent mark had been made. "They sent up a group of diggers here. You will take the box there, and one of you with some sort of math ability, will activate this box. I want you to fight these craige, and tell me what it does to them. Questions?"
Selena nods, taking a deep breath. "Well, it's a pleasure nevertheless. If it's some form of magic, then I can certainly agree that some would take far too long to explain in any short period of time. Perhaps if you'd like to take the time to explain it a little later, once it's successfully been used or failed. I suspect you know enough about me to know I'm capable with magic." She replies, offering a hand out to Fenris as the tiger makes his way in, taking a step to the side to allow a little more room for the others. "I haven't seen you in quite some time, Fenris. You've been well, I trust?"
Kilani listends quietly to the instructions, and listens to Selena talk. While she does, however, she investigates the map carefully, and then looks at the box again. "One question. I notice you said activate the box, but there's also something inside the box as well. Is the thing inside doing the mathemagic, or is the box itself doing the magic and harnessing what's inside as energy?" The bat looks up with curious eyes, but a somber expression. It is a legitimate question, after all.
Fenris grins at Selena and takes her offered hand, kissing it gently and sweeping a deep courtly bow before she can protest. "I am well enough," he says, straightening, "Busy, as always." He frowns at the box, a little worried by its similarity to another artifact he had had the misfortune of uncovering recently. "Where does this thing come from?" he asks, "Is it safe for us to carry?"
