pawnstorm | Training at Sunrise

Who: Tieria and YOU
When: May 9th, a day AFTER Intro Log
Where: Caissa, Coastal District
What: Tieria organized a mass training session, hideous ensues?
Rating: Violence, language, more violence

If you made your way to the location, you're already one step closer upon completing your training because this part of the beach is the furthest away from any settlement or port and also the hardest to find. You probably found it by following other heroes' trail, or you're those who stumbles around until you found it or you're actually one of those who went scouting before the actual day.

Either way, congratulation for making it this far ( puns completely intended ). Surrounding the rocky beach is an even rockier cliff. Be careful not to stumble or you will find yourself in need of healing. Thankfully, there are Kings ready to make a guinea pig out of your healing needs around. Your training will be held on the round rock-carved deck overlooking the beautiful sea or on the less rocky stretch of the beach, depending on your Trainer's choice. If you're lucky, your Trainer might even have you hike up that rocky cliff. You may even treat yourself to Caissa's fantastic sunset if you made it up there in time!

In any case, once you've arrived at sunrise ( or rather when the sun has risen sufficiently over the horizon because you're that bad with direction or has no sense of time ) and is done catching your breath, you will come to a notice pinned on the tall fences that tells you to tie a ribbon ( in the buckets, also tied to the fence ) corresponding to the training you wish to partake in on your arm.

Stamina ( GREEN ) ✽ Endurance ( ORANGE ) ✽ Weapons ( BLUE ) ✽ Magic ( PURPLE )

The notice will also instructs those who volunteers to be Trainers to tie a different set of ribbons, with black stripe over the four corresponding colors, on their arm to help differentiate them and the course(s) they're instructing. Of course, if you turn out to be a terrible Trainer, Tieria will rip that ribbon off you and very possibly shoves you into the sea.

There are no training weapon available because you're supposed to bring your own magic weapon.
If you forgot, you can either run back for it or pick a different course.

There's also a clause in very bold red letters that forbid killing. Break it and you will be broken in return.

Are you done tying those ribbons? Then what are you waiting? Get moving!

(( OOC: Please indicate in your top level if your character is a Trainer (which course are they instructing?) or Trainee.
eg.: Harry Potter | TRAINER - MAGIC
eg.: Severus Potter | TRAINEE - EVERYTHING PLEASE

Feel free to mingle around! Make friends, frenemies and even better, rivals! ))

( stamina, endurance or weapons training )

[Soma had scouted out the area in advance-- happy to use the trek as personal training. Even today, she arrived well before the meeting time; stretching on the beach and getting accustomed to the terrain as well as the landscape from down here. There's a lot to work with in this location- indicative of Tieria's intelligent planning. After being instructed on what the ribbons are for, she eyes them before taking three of them. After they're tied, she eyes the last and on second thought - also ties it on.]

Have you warmed up yet?

( magic training )

[Upon being questioned about magic, Soma will quickly defer the lesson-- not to another person. Not exactly. But if you've been with her long enough or you've met her before, you might notice something very different about the person instructing you. She's all smiles for these trainees.]

Let's see... What type of magic do you use?

( if you're feeling confident... )

[As the hours of training pass, if you're willing to challenge her-- or if you're just plain slacking-- Soma will approach with a very serious glint in her eyes.]

Let's see you put that training to some practical use. Of course, you can use whatever you like this time around.

(ooc: Soma will be the primary trainer here. Throw any of your training wishes at her. But beware- she's a tough trainer. Marie will be helping with magic. She specializes in healing, however, she did some basic training in magic prior to her rank up, so she'll offer to help anyone. And she'll also be happy to heal any training injuries. If you choose the final option, Soma will offer to spar with anyone in a practical 'use any weapons or skills you possess' throwdown.)

[ Soma, please. ]

You can't even spare me a breather?

[ He organized this training. Surely that counts for something? ]

I hadn't considered you'd ask.

[But she's not heartless. Not where it concerns the right people.]

I'd be willing-- but remember that our enemies won't.

[ Just what he'll expects from Soma, honestly. He would be surprised if she goes easy on them. Marie, possibly. Soma, never. ]

Sure. I'll let you choose, magic or without?

[ Whichever she chooses, it will definitely be interesting. ]

Magic is acceptable.

[It's better, she thinks, if they both let themselves use everything they've learned. That will be the real challenge she's interested in.]

[ Tieria nods and considers how they should spar considering their difference in rank and specialization. ]

I don't think normal magic is fair considering we'll [ factoring in Marie's participation ] need a lot of distance for it.

[ Unsheathing Forseti, he casts a tier 1 water spell to unlock it's magical property, a spellsword instead. ]

I need training with this anyway. Acceptable? [ Although the rule for casting is similar, Tieria is aware the cast time has been reduced to a much more manageable limit and he wants to get used to it as fast as possible. ]

I have.

[Caren straightens up, her weapon-a blood red shawl-is currently wrapped around her waist. Though with a jerk of her wrist, it's unfolded, and put gently over her shoulder, just so it won't drag in the ground. That would be completely counter productive, she thinks.]

Shall we get started?

[ Kojirou's not what anyone would call a slacker, but the number of heroes here was making him uncomfortable enough that he'd separated himself from the group for the time being.

But when Soma approaches him, how could he possibly refuse? It's supposed to be a challenge, isn't it? ]

Whatever I like, you say? Well then.

[ The pair of swords at his side, one wooden, one steel, are gently unhooked from his belt and placed on the ground. Instead, loose sleeves are rolled up, revealing a bracer strapped to his left arm. Once he's satisfied with that, a flag of pure mana appears in his hand and is planted firmly into the sand. ]

If you'll forgive my rudeness, wielding my sword does not seem like much training, but I so happen to have found myself in possession of some new toys.

[ He's a Knight, so his confidence at duelling isn't unfounded, but he's very confident. ]
