Presence Roll: Only if advising Sarina.

 

[Hanno Futaba]

Being called THE Hanno felt a bit embarrassing, but he grinned regardless, a bit sheepish.

"Herculean Drakecon? Hah! Buddy, your name is probably the most fitting to the person wearing it that I've ever seen. Pleased to meet'cha!"

He glanced at Zelrius, with the familiar flame hair certainly not missing in his memory.

"Less than that I would feel disappointed after seeing everything you can do, buddy."

His gaze then fell on Elesis Blackstone, crossing his arms with a nod.

"One-hundred, yes... And more, if neither you or Sarina get the first place, I will add fifty squats to your exercises, got it?"

Hanno declared to the two squires.

 

[Elesis Blackstone]

Elesis gulped down once @Hanno Futaba decided to add even MORE stakes than they already were. Perhaps for Sarina this would be easy, but she wasn't so sure if doing push ups or squats would be that easy for herself, if her real life experience had a say in it.

'twill beest done, captain. B-but care to has't a drinketh first?

She rised her mug a little higher for him and smiles, eyes inadvertingly switching over towards Sarina.

The giveth extends to thee too. As a fellow squire, i'm honour'd to holp thee in any way i can, enwheeling on beverages

 

[Hanno Futaba]

The second offer for a drink finally distracted the faerin for a moment, and he huffed a faint chuckle, accepting it.

"Forsooth, sweet lassie. I would love to hast a posset."

He teased, grabbing the drink from @Elesis Blackstone, smirking and taking a sip.

@Herculean Drakecon

"Huh, you THE Hanno you're pretty famous. The second well-known player, I've met actually thinking about it. I think I would like to introduce myself as Herculean drakeson."

"Nice to meetcha Hercule! THE Hanno huh? He's alright. I'll show you who's the best today though!"

@Hanno Futaba @Elesis Blackstone

"They are tough nuts to crack, but that's no excuse. It will be one hundred push ups for every place below the first."

"100?! O-of course captain! I shalt prove myself by claiming first place, one goblin skull at a time!"

"Hmhmhm! You tell em'!"

One-hundred, yes... And more, if neither you or Sarina get the first place, I will add fifty squats to your exercises, got it

"H-Hold on... me too?! I'm a K- uh... never mind! I'mma heading out!"

@Zelrius
Of course, Sarina wasn't going to be that thorough. This was a kickass fest, not office work!

 

[Hanno Futaba]

"Rina, remember what I told ya before"

He called her.

"Raw strength is good, but you need technique! Stay close to your allies, don't get swarmed!"

[Elesis Blackstone]

A part of her felt really bad for taking the kill just like that from Sarina. Even if it was a competition, it didn't strike her as very 'knightly' of her, specially after coming late to the fight compared to the totally-not-a-Squire!

Thee may count yond 'greenskin' as thine. Competition 'r not, i shalt not claim the glory of an easy killeth!

She beamed a smile over to Sarina, giving her blades a twirl upon her hands, her gaze flickering over to @Hanno Futaba for a second then back to the reckless ape, with shoulders a little more tense than earlier.

P-Prithee winneth, f'r our sake, 'r captain is gonna maketh quick worketh of us...

She whispered, but that fell kind of flat given she just couldn't keep her voice down nor sound any less pumped up than a kid going to a toy shop. And her winking didn't really mask it at all.

Oh they were screwed...

@Hanno Futaba

"Raw strength is good, but you need technique! Stay close to your allies, don't get swarmed!"

"WHAT'S THAT MR GREEN!!!? I CAN'T HEAR YA OVER MY ASSKICKING!!!!???"

It seemed that Sarina might be a little too hyped atm for boring smart tactics. She didn't even score her first kill yet so...

<Hanno's advice didn't break Sarina's HYPE shield>​

@Elesis Blackstone

"P-Prithee winneth, f'r our sake, 'r captain is gonna maketh quick worketh of us..."

Sarina laughed.

"Don't worry about a thing, thou art girl! We got this! I don't need yo... Hey, be careful not to separate too far from us alright?!"

The brunette saw that the ACTUAL squire was trying to imitate her style of aggression. Was that how it looked with Sarina chasing her heroes? It was dangerous and Levi wouldn't be too happy if a Lion was hurt because of her...

This is why she hoped Lions hadn't shown up.

<Sarina is going to push harder for Elesis!>​

 

[Hanno Futaba]

"The enemy may be formidable, but we can still outsmart them-"

He thrusted his hand forward.

"Rina! Hit the big guy and regroup, we can't let ourselves be surrounded by these stink bastards!"

A concerned gaze then shifted to @Elesis Blackstone.

"All good, lassie? That was a hella of a hit."

[Elesis Blackstone]

They smelleth hideous, Captain. T's making miss Sarina becometh reckless like a gob!

Elesis pushed herself back up to her feet, with one hand over her nose and the other using one shortsword as support, a worried scowl set on her face as she watched her fellow 'squire' face off against the big bad goblin all by herself.

'T did hurt a lot, but thither is nay gain with nay pain.

She clinged to her stomach, as the lick of the crude weapon still left an impact on her nerves, but nothing that could wipe away the optimism from her face, striking a fighting stance right behind Hanno as the faerin decided to be her shield once again.

Thee can doth't miss Sarina, sendeth yond goblin back to the womb of life!

The fox girl roared, but her voice fell surprisingly short on volume as she winced and bent forth a little.

Ouch.

"Rina! Hit the big guy and regroup, we can't let ourselves be surrounded by these stink bastards!"

"Oh yeah! This guy is getting the smacks! I'll cover Thou Art and bring this booger down!"

@Elesis Blackstone

Thee can doth't miss Sarina, sendeth yond goblin back to the womb of life!

"...uhhh yeah exactly! What she said Booger!"

<Sarina plans to fight the Hobgoblin!>​

 

[Hanno Futaba]

"That was close, are you alright?!"

He asked to Sarina, letting out a sigh.

"Ya need to be careful sometimes! Now stay here and take cover, they should finish those greenies, but hell knows if there are more around."

Hanno said, covering the fellow lion and calling for @Elesis Blackstone.

"After you are done, we need a medic over here, lassie!"

[Elesis Blackstone]

I trust mine own refreshments art to thy liking, Miss Sarina.

She glanced over to @Hanno Futaba for a second, a tired smile given back to the wounded squire once Elesis's attention returned to her.

Captain Hanno nev'r did complain about them, at least!

[Zelrius]

The frown deepened; becoming a scar on his face. He hated when people had good points. And when those points didn't invalidate his own concerns. Making an unwinnable conflict.

"Reinforcements..."

He echoed slowly. Thinking better than the comment on the fact that it was these so called Knights they wanted to get, rather than posting an Adventurer's guild ad, or messaging useful people.

They were all fairly beat up, giving each an examination with his eyes. A breath escaped his lips, bitter and defeated.

"Sorry, Herculean, Looks like training with Sarina it is."

His pupils shifted to the side, avoiding eye contact wherever possible. His vote changed to indifference.
