Attack on Sanctuary

[bravenewmods]

It’s just after midnight when the column arrives outside of Sanctuary, shrouded in darkness under the pitch black of a new moon. Bordered by mountains to the north, the city has two primary gates to the West and the East, both of which are shut tight with massive oaken doors, centuries old and further secured with an antique portcullis. The city itself is surrounded by walls of stone, easily one-fourth the height of those found in Union and about twice the height of many of the homes, sturdy stone buildings with triangular roofs, about the same size as Calderan homes. Like Union, there are many towers within the city, but unlike Union, the towers are cold, aloof structures that stand alone with no connection to the other towers. The city itself is stone, cold, gray, and unfeeling, with small drops of light from streetlamps which line the streets, emitting an eerie blue-white glow. This is Sanctuary. Home of the Magi, conquered by Gigas for forty years. This is the city that must be reclaimed.

[OOC: If you did not choose to take the Pokeballs (you don’t have to have affirmed in an NPC thread, it’s entirely up to the character), they may have either 1 large Pokemon or 2 small Pokemon. A large Pokemon is classified as any Pokemon that is 4’ tall or long per the official Pokedex guidelines, anything smaller is considered a small Pokemon. Without the aid of Pokeballs the Pokemon will be required to be out and active throughout the log, and will not be able to be recalled or sent away if they are injured and must be carried if knocked out. As always, please limit yourself to 2 major actions in the log, and declare all Pokemon accompanying you in your first tag to a log. As always, to keep the logs moving, we will be responding every 24 hours.]

Blink blink.

"It's a war. She's the enemy. You kill the enemy, grab a trophy from them, and show it off to everyone when you get back to camp. Haven't you ever done this before?"

Not that Domri has either but he knows how this is supposed to work.

"No." Duo frowned. "That sounds pretty barbaric, though, don't you think?" He made a face, looking somewhat disgusted. "Maybe... I mean, there's still the convoy to think about. So, maybe we could, yanno, focus on that for now and think about this later when we've got some other people around to help us decide?"

You know, a distraction... right? Besides, they also still had to see if Lucas and Asemu were okay. And the other Pokémon.

As of now, Shin was floating back into the area, and Solo came up next to Duo now, whimpering a little.

"Not really." The barbarian doesn't consider himself to be barbaric. "What else are you going to do with someone who tried to kill you? Let them go so they can try and kill you again later?"

His face lights up at the reminder about the convoy.

"The convoy! Were we going to try and take stuff from it? Or just smash it all?"

He's obviously in favor of the smashing.

[OOC: As an FYI, at this point there's a good chance he'll just stab Mary and scamper off to get ready for the convoy, like using the spear to push off before skiing or something. Attempting a reasoned debate with someone who doesn't think about much too deeply can only go so far, so an alternate plan might be in order here.]

{Thanks for the tip!}

"Well, no... but we shouldn't kill her, either. We could maybe restrain her?"

He came closer now, maybe hesitantly, and went to redirect that spear.

"But, yeah. We have to make sure the convoy doesn't get in, right? But, we could use those supplies for ourselves. I don't see why we shouldn't take some of it." Duo was all about 'scavenging' stuff. "I say... stop the wagons, figure out what we can use, and just keep them from getting in... which may or may not include smashing, depending on how much resistance they give. How's that?"

Plus, they still had to check on the others....... that wasn't out of the back of his mind, yet.
