"That's an offer I'd be happy to accept." He grins. Max nods and moves with her, slipping an arm around her waist, while Ben manages a smile in return, though he's still hard and looking like he might jump her right here. Outside, they find Bast, Taia and Melinda - the latter two more beautiful women, Kelly notes. The bodyguards move up to Kelly, anxiously checking her for wounds, before the sergeant says: "I know the place the general spoke of" the big man says, as Kelly relates the general's story. "I can lead you on your command."
While Kelly was talking to her guards Miriam used the chance to ask Taia and Bast if they knew anything about the place they were headed to.
"Supposedly..." Taia says, "It's the resting place of the God Set - his soul watching over the demons imprisoned in this city. My mother thought that there was great power there, that she could 'leech' the magical energy from the god himself. Of course, she never walked out again, so I guess it didn't work."
The crusader next to the woman stands silently, letting her do the talking, but he begins looking at Natasha and her weapons critically, seeming to disapprove.
“I assume Set would have not been amused by someone trying to leech his power without his permission...”Miriam noted. “In any case the tomb seems to be our new destination, and we might get to meet your mother there. How does that make you feel? Ready for a reunion after all this time?” She asked, wanting to make sure that Taia was fully ready in case they were to meet her mother, Anai.
Natasha first though was this men disapprove her body or fact that she was naked but soon she understood what he really mean. "Any problem sir? Maybe you don't believe in my ability to use my weapons?" She asked holding her spear
"How does it make me feel?" Taia shrugs. "The bitch left me to rot in a tomb for eternity. I'll be sure to return the favor."
@moonblack Kelly chuckled at the anxiousness of her guardsmen over her well-being, but let them ease their concerns. Once she'd finished relating her story to her escort she nodded the 'okay' to the sergeant. "Lead on, once Miriam and her group are ready."
Natasha smile to him, without any happiness in eyes. "You said so? So I propose duel. You and me, right now. To the first blood. Winner will be permitted to punishm oponent. " She said, making a combat position.
@Regin34 @Tjf @asddas193 Beatrice ignored the person who she saw as brat, instead, turning to observe the interaction between Crusader and... the person.
He cracks his neck, drawing his sword. "I'd be more than willing to humble you, wench. No man has ever bested Gregoire de Moulay, let alone a woman!"
Natasha grab her spear in both hands and point it at knight. He is dressed in chainmail armor, most of his body is protected from cuts and stabing, while Natasha is complety naked. She could use shotgun, to bring him down fastest but it wouldn't be look like too fair. "I hope you won't come into despair after I beat you." She said with venom in voice, wanted to provoke him into attack, which she will contra and stab him in the face.
Beatrice put a hand on Gregorie's chest. "Good luck, my love." She said to him, so only he could hear. Beatrice took a step back, giving the crusader space for his duel.
Gregoire is less timid, grabbing her chin and pulling her up for a passionate kiss. "I'll destroy her - in your honor." "Harlot. I'll show you your place." Gregoire sneers. Spoiler: Persuasion Roll D100: 27 (Fail) Despite his disregard of her, he shows caution that comes with training. For the beginning, he opens up with some small feints and thrusts, judging distance and testing her reactions.
Beatrice watched the duel with great attention. As she did she turned to priest. "How far we have to our destination?" She asked.
Natasha make stone face, knowing this fight it will be intresting. With her spear, she have larger reach but must be carefool to not let him contra her or catch her weapon. She was sure he won't break it, but he might be able to rip it off her hands. She recognise these feints and thrust are just to lern of her ability, so she won't give him this information. She made on purpose few smal mistakes, to show him weakness and when he strike, she will show true strenght of her traingning and power of humility.
"Just across the courtyard, my lady." The old man points to the old tomb not far away. Spoiler: Deception Roll D100: 96 (Crit) The warrior continues to feint and test her, but his patience is limited, despite his training. "Enough of this!" He feints a cut to her torso, and then moves in to bash her with the pommel of his sword - but he's failed to see that Natasha's seen through his ruse, and he walks straight into her trap.
Natasha let the sword to slip just few inches from her torso and use distraction to disarm knight of his sword, by using her pointy end of spear, to make him wound in his hand.
The man curses loudly as his sword clatters to the ground, blood pouring from his cut palm. In his free hand, he draws a dagger, closing in to make a stab at her.
