Its doesn't take long before reenforcement arrive, There are sixteen hours hours remaing in to prepare before the large army arrives to the door steps of the simple village of Valist, Their are currently three large groups working in tandem for the defenese of the village. THere are mages preparing specials and medics preparing various herbs and simple remedies to heal everyone, lastly there is a large group of warriors that looks a little grim about there prospects for survival. This is looking to be a very dire situation to everyone involved...
Bite arrives with an almost skip in her step, her body swaying as she smiles and overlooks the situation. She approaches who she assumes is in charge, and hisses "Hello there sssweetie, what am I here to help with?"
Ictus looks up from the maps he is looking at and nods to Bite, "Good to see you Bite." he's all buisness right now as he looks to those gathered and ponders the vilage elder, "While I don't want you to strain yourself too hard... This will be a very hard battle. Are you sure you are up for this?"
The next newcomer to arrive is a certain black griffon, a Raven and Panther combination. This eight foot long creature looks quite ready for battle, body looking quite oiled and very muscular. Padding right up to Ictus the griffon settles on his haunches and peers at the map.
"I've said it once, and I'll say it again. I HATE flying!" The fox complained, tugging on a few straps that were loose on his armor. Angus frowned, still a bit shaken by the rather swift flight that they had just had. He sighed, placing a hand on the hilt of his old Rapier as he walked up to his cousin. "Alright so, whats the situation Cousin?"
Ryusho hums softly as he brushes himself off himself, "I don't know, I think it was nice." he says glancing at Angus, but then nods to the one in charge, "Where do you need a craftsman? I can fight too, but What do you need me to check up on? I can help make sure armor and equipment are in optimum condition, and I can try to help with any basic fortifications."
The white eyes pug looks to Bite, "Miss there is many things my people need, if your dress is any indicator the mages could use some help on any Math you are willing to give. I am skill only in my field and have little more to offer then what I already have." The village elder turn to Ictus and smiles my body is frail but..." He does a complex guesture and a bolt of lightening streaks across the sky. "I have a few tricks up my sleeves. Don't let this cute face fool you, I used to be able to fight well when the shadows attacked this village." He chuckles and coughs a little blood. "The crafting was done by that Solacious House member over there." He points at Ictus while speaking to Ryusho, "Fine weapons but we won't refuse a little help on the broken armors we have, most are a relics of rougher times but it could be useful to have them brought to their former glory."
The serpent giggles and nods. "I'll help sssweetie, just let me look over your traps and maybe make a few of my own." she hisses before smiling at the lightning. "I'm glad you can defend yourself sssweetie, I trust everyone has eaten? Or will eat before the battle, and that you have rations to last a while?" With that she moves off, looking over traps, doing what she can to fix them, and making her own where possible before devoting a great deal of time to the mages who need her help.
Ictus looks to the others as they arrive and nods in greeting, "Ok, Mazurek. I want you to help with the scouting, you'll be heading east and I want you to guard the young dragon who will be helping you. Don't let them get injured, but try not to get injured yourself." he looks to Bite and then to Henry, "Bite, can you do lightning?" he looks to Angus and chuckles, "Just adjusting my plans a bit, I want you to be with the beings who are hiding inside the buildings to ambush those that get through the front lines. Just watch for mud and don't step in it." he looks to Ryu and nods, "Can you help with the armor? After that I want you to help with the medicines as best you can."
Mazurek would salute if his current form allowed it. Well, what he does is nod once and finally speaks, "I won't worry so much about my own injuries. If the young one needs it, I can heal him or her during the journey." The ebon feathers are ruffled and he jostles the small-ish bag hanging around his neck. When the debriefing concludes he has something to eat before taking wing to be with the young dragon he will be escorting.
Angus nods lightly as he looks over the map. "Alright then, how many men can I expect to have at my side and what are we armed with?" He asked, already pulling out his musket to clean and oil the thing, making sure it's ready and there won't be any missfires while in the middle of battle. "Also, what's this about Mud?"
Ryusho salutes as he shifts, and quickly would work to orient himself, as he would begin promtly to work and begin to work at making sure the armor was up to snuff, and then some if possible, since he had been told it needed quite a bit of work, he wanted to make sure that those who were going to rely on it, could indeed rely on it.
The preparions go very well as the fighters are much better armed and now much better defeneds with the aid given by the freeswords. The young dragon with mazurek, He is small folk mouse child blushing being near a freesword as he works to dye himself black to prevent any one from seeing him. "Hi. I'm Sky, um.. I've been told your a dragon too. Thats nice, I can't wait to zip around and help. I can't fly much but I was told not to go very far." Back near the pug Henry smiles at Angus, "We've got 351 fighting capable, 200 fighters, fifty-one mages including myself, 100 archers and 20 of the best medics around. The rest are just farmers, children and the elderly." He says as they continue to talk tatics and gear for eight more hours.
The village even with the improvements still seem a little down each of them are trying to keep up bravdo to their friends and family but a glance to their eyes speak volumes of the dread they aer currently feelings. Henry turns his white eyes to look at Bite, "A bit of food wouldn't hurt at all if you like Ma'am but we don't want them cramping in the midst of battle." He sighs, "I will leave it in your hands." The Soldiers are being fitting as night falls and a single mot of light can be seen in the distance by those with the sharpest of eyes.
Bite does her best, helping those who need mathmatical teachings and hisses "I need to go check on some things sssweeties, I'll hopefully be back before the battle." With that, she departs away from the villiage.
Ictus looks at the Maz-griffon and nods, "You'll be flying, so don't over do it." he looks at Angus and chuckles, "You'll be with fourty other beings, all armed with swords and other close combat weapons. Some may have muskets too. I've asked the mages to hide on the rooftops and blast the ground with water magic to turn it to mud, then blast it with fire magic." he looks around at the false bravado on the people and shakes his head, "We need to inspire some confidence in them... If only Mirana were here..."
