TKA Thread 15 - The road with many paths

[Dotzrus]

Solessa- They are guardians, not warriors.
*She goes to the training ground and sees a large group of monks training in martial arts, using rune powers, or using weapons*
Solessa- I take that back...

[Dat Basitin]

*Mary laughs. <What did I tell you. Xiaolin fighting style is a mixed poise method that focuses on change. The swift movements and changes of posture represent different styles of fighting and quickly overwhelm an unprepared opponent. Couple that with their runes and they're quite deadly. Luckily monks are also typically peaceful.>

[Nick]

*jace finds some light-weight armor, which is more or less just leather padded armor for the torso, upper arms, and sides of the upper legs; he then goes and starts converting the bow into a compound bow*

[Dotzrus]

Solessa- All self-defense... well thats a nice way to train. Though I think I need my eyes...

[Dat Basitin]

*Mary* <Warriors have to learn to rely on their other senses. I never was one, but that stupid basitin of yours always boasted about it.>

[Dragonheart42]

Sky: (I think their sensing movement through mana or the very soul's pulsations.)

[Dotzrus]

*One of the monks from before walk over to them*
Monk- I see your interest in our methods of combat. I am allowed to answer questions, but I am not allowed to train you.

[Dat Basitin]

*Mary* <I'm honored but i think i'm a bit frail for your training anyway. I'd love to learn about your culture and how it ties into your fighting though.>

[Dotzrus]

Monk- Certainly. Ask away and I will answer as best as I can. The harder question you will have to ask the Master or Lord.

[Dat Basitin]

OOC: to be continued. i need to get to bed. night

[Dotzrus]

***night***

[Nick]

*after some time, jace tests his converted bow, and smiles, finding he was able to successfully recreate it into a compound-bow, and starts testing it alot so he can get the sight right*

[Ymotobuck]

*kavaar collects a couple of bounties to pay for a steel great sword, he keeps his iron one due to how long he's had it for and how little its worth in its condition*

[Dotzrus]

***A tumble weed goes through the site and BLOWS UP EVERYTHING!!***

*Xel wakes up and makes a quick breakfast for the duo*

[Dragonheart42]

***I block it.***

Celeste: *she walks over to Xel, sitting down and eats breakfast* thanks

[Dat Basitin]

OOC: Mary's sister laughs having thown the tumbleweed. "Ello guv'nor!"

*Mary* <so is there any religious or symbolic significance to your fighting? what's your central philosophy for this dojo?>

Lelouch - you think it makes any sense to have a technological base on this back water planet

Matt - not really, I mean if someone was trying to hide some thing the best place is a planet that isn't connected to other high tech traffic.

Violet - don't foget people who say see something techy they probably say it's magic and pass it off as nothing other every day normal but people going missing or returning with laser burns and deep lacerations that seem to percise for any person I say rouge robots.

Lelouch - if it stood on two legs and shot laser you'd call it the terminator

Violet - I swear that thing knew my name and tried killing me with some freaky shit ability

*The rag tag team is heading east to Fang mountain on the whim of a rumor of a strange activity at the base of the mountain. Traveling on there fourth day deep in thicket of forest untouch by anyone as the three make their way to the one of the many obistical in the way of the group which is the mountain range dividing the Fang mountain and the stone city from direct travel, but the only known way is through the "Blood Black Passage" where only the foolish would enter unprepared as evils of the darkness lurk in the very bowels of the cavern, but this didn't even phased the the team at the idea fighting but made them think of plunder of other fallen to loot and training they will get*

[Dat Basitin]

*There's several missing posters for a woman who traveled that way*

[T2x]

M - think we'll find that lady

V - maybe maybe not did it say she needed to be alive or just her head or bone

L- Gruesome

[T2x]

V - *sends Lola a message using shadow telling her where they are heading and how she's doing
