sixteenth rune :: death

[deadelfwalking]

 [Koltira has waited for and wanted this moment ever since the Light-forsaken castle stole him away from Andorhal.  The battle today is not like the last attempt; this time Arthas is separated from his pack; this time his demon-woman will not come to rescue him.  This time Koltira will not relent until either he or Arthas lies defeated and broken

PRE-BATTLE

[deadelfwalking]

[Line up for your Commanders--Sylvanas and Koltira--here. Make sure you've hit a repair shop and are fully stocked on reagents, potions & food!]

c:

[swornanoath]

[Can we get a re-buff? Laying down a feast over here...

Just kidding. But Vereesa is here, ready and waiting for her sister's commanding orders.]

[yamanaka]

[yeup she's just standing around, a little antsy and waiting for them to gooo]

[variare]

[ repairs his own things, okay! guns are shined and everything. he's just waiting nearby, arms folded. a boot's even tapping against the ground, though not too obviously.

he was ready ten minutes ago! forever ]

[sunnyheiress]

[Hinata's here, double-checking her weapons to make sure she has more than enough kunai and exploding tags to handle whatever there may be.]

[arrowonthewind]

[Nodding a little tersely to Hinata. Hey, lady, is it safe for you out here?]

Will you be alright?

[sunnyheiress]

[Probably not. But it's an occupational hazard.

She pauses as she slides her kunai back into her thigh holster before doing her best to smile at Alleria.]

Mm, I will be. This is part of what I have trained for back home.. [And she knows Alleria will be all right, so asking that question back will be pointless.]

Um, stay safe out there..

[arrowonthewind]

[Hinata, please ...

Alleria returns the smile, a bit tensely. She likes Hinata, she really does, but she is not quite convinced that she will not be a liability out there.]

I thank you, but my own safety is not your concern. Look out for yourself -- if it appears we're losing, you must make your way out.

[sunnyheiress]

[It's all cool. She's so used to being underestimated that there are times she even believes it too.

...And by "there are times" she does mean most of the time. Your worry is so well-placed, Alleria. But still, she's a ninja. She's been in worse fights. And she makes no promises about leaving.]

I know...and I'll do my best to not be a liability. But really...you don't have to worry about me.

[arrowonthewind]

[Alleria pauses for a moment, hesitates even, before nodding once.]

As you say, Hinata. I trust you will stay safe as well, then.

[sunnyheiress]

I will. So long as we all remember to work together and...and to keep a cool head, I think we all will stay rather safe. [Another small smile.]

[arrowonthewind]

[Keeping a cool head is the hard part! For Alleria, anyway.]

I think it's also important that we defeat him as swiftly as possible.

[But despite herself, she smiles as well.]

[sunnyheiress]

[Keeping a cool head is always the hard part, Hinata finds.]

That too... But I think that was the more obvious one we all wanted to happen.

[arrowonthewind]

I do think we have a good chance of succeeding, though.

[sunnyheiress]

Me too. [She smiles and puts away the last of her kunai.]

So long as we are all able to focus on the bigger picture an-and work together toward it... I can't see us failing.

[arrowonthewind]

[A nod.]

Then we see the same outcome. Good. I hope the others feel the same.
