Leon

He nodded at the revelation of Meza.

“I received his letter. We will see if I am a companion or not.” Leon replied, then Sorey made his introduction to his quest.

Runes activated, causing darkness and a voice, and some thing to appear, none of which Leon cared about. Then, there was talk of twelve Vaults, something about a moon, Night Serpent, the future being in the past, some history, and whatever quest lied ahead. Leon did not seem interested.

“Very well, then what are we waiting for?” Leon asked.

Annie repiled in a tired voice,"I also got his letter." She sat on her chair listening to Sorey talking about everything as she ate and drank what he had serve them. She was also felt a strange power growing in her that made her very nervous. -Dances-

A smile on his reptilian face, Ak’syisi walked with the orc up the steps. It felt...well, rather nice that he had done this, and the kobold certainly wasn’t going to forget that his first introduction into the group of people that were also along for this was as friendly as it had been. Perhaps that would change, but he wanted to think that it wasn’t going to, and even if it did there would be at least one companion whom he would be able to trust. If the main reason Grog was here was because he wanted to help others, well, that meant Ak’syisi was not the only one here for such a reason.

The pair of them, seeming to have moved more slowly than they should have, arrived in approximately the middle of the speech. That meant he, at least, would make his way across the room to near where the meeting was taking place, but he would say nothing out of politeness. It wouldn’t do to interrupt the initial meeting even to introduce oneself, or at least that was how he saw it.

Fortunately, the arrival was in time to witness the fade from reality, since once that took place Ak’syisi was almost positive he would not have been able to move into involvement until it had ceased. His own magic might have provided some means with which to at least make those inside aware, but, again, such a first impression was not what he wished to provide.

The runes almost broke his desire to listen, though. Although he might try to put forth a presence that was one of a mature individual, he was still a student of magical mysteries, and the languages that came with them fascinated him to no end. He took an unconscious few steps forward to read them before realizing what he was doing and taking a step back again, an embarrassed - at least for those that could recognize what kobold facial expressions looked like - look on his face.

The creature that had appeared, which had been labeled as one found in a vault, held equal mystery and intrigue for the kobold, although that was more easily reigned in. Living creatures generally didn’t like to be studied, and he had learned long ago that he needed to be careful about how fascinated he became around such beings. It rarely ended well if he couldn’t contain himself...although that didn’t mean he didn’t want to examine the being any less.

I would like to help, if I can. There are many things here that interest me, but I care most that this world does not see an end while I am here to prevent it.
” he spoke up, once it seemed the time was right to do so.

What was it they were waiting for, Sorey sighed the question was as applicable as any in this situation he had found himself within. Strangers, he could not wholly trust were thrust upon him instead he had to be reliant upon this entities abilities which it had already displayed to be in some level of abundance in the arcane arts.

He spoke very little once it had made the presence known, listening to all that the others had to offer. He couldn't help but notice a child was amongst them and this alone offered him doubts, and fears that it had perhaps been lost to madness of isolation and everything he was about to do would only make matters worse for the General.

Leon looked capable, and he knew of more than a few stories of Kobold's wielding magic so he hoped Ak’syisi would prove himself more than capable in that regard. They would certainly need it.

An Orc too, but he didn't seem quite as civilised as he might have hoped. Still he had taken a leap of faith in gathering them here, "I would not have fear as to anyone's individual abilities, or the latent potential in some circumstances." The creature seemed focused on the child in this instance as he motioned her over to their now dark corner of the world.

"Forgive me..."
Sorey mummer in reply then turned to a sachet he carried

"Well I thought it fair, we draw up some form of contract between ourselves. There will be treasures to be divided amongst ourselves, and I hold no significant interest in anything beyond historical significance. So, keeping this simple, equal share between us?"


It seemed the quickest and most prudent way to deal with such matters at this moment, if they were to reach the Legacy before an ill wind passed through the mountain.

Annie knew the creature was talking to not to be afraid of the strange energy growing in her. She was terrified of it. She listened to what the creature had to say and asked in a tired voice,”Why do we need a contract for treasures if we are about saving the world?” The strange energy was about to blow. -Dances-

Leon

He nodded.
“Sharing loot and treasure is good enough for me, and if we save the world, all the better, why not? Whatever gets me through another month, I don’t care. Sometimes, we humans sign a contract, then rip it into pieces, each person having a piece of the contract, to make sure we know who is part of it.” Leon remarked. “I am ready to go at any time.”

Name: Nero Vitruvius
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Race: Tengu

Archetype: Hot-headed knight

Strengths:
-Slot 1- Valor
-Slot 2- Knightly
-Slot 3- Gliding (when unarmored but limited)

Flaws:
-Slot 1- Impetuous; Nero often acts and reacts quickly without forethought or care, making him difficult to control especially when angry.
-Slot 2- Slow-moving; contrary to his avian physiology, temperament, and natural slimness, he is rather slow.
-Slot 3- Brittle Bone

Background: Coming from a rather Latin-esque culture, Nero’s race of Tengu are quite different from most other Tengu, and are sometimes called Corvus. His race adapted to heavily forested areas, where gliding was a little harder, and so they fielded heavily-armed and heavily-armored warriors. They adopted the technology of more advanced humans, and are able to manufacture plate armor and firelocks, but still cannot construct castles, citadels, ships or vehicles as impressive as humans.
As for Nero, he is a classic adventurer, going from place to place, seeking work as a mercenary, bodyguard, guard, or soldier amongst his people. Gradually, he sought to expand his work experience, and even served as a mercenary, caravan guard, or bodyguard in the service of other races. Nero had not acquired Sorey’s invitation, but just so happens to be adventuring in the area. He may even stumble upon the village and inn soon.

Appearance: Lithe and lanky, Nero stands at an intimidating 7’6” tall and weighs about four hundred pounds. He is too heavy to truly glide, and so essentially can only slightly increase the duration of his jumps when unarmored. He has black feathers and dark eyes.

Familiar/Animal Companion: n/a

Equipment & Accessories*: Full-body lorication, ragged cloak, large koncerz-like rapier, large throwing knives.
His primary weapon is his poleaxe, which has a firelock, making it a truly versatile weapon.

((Accepted Azi, how would you like to jump in?))

Once all seemed well Sorey nodded and all seemed to return to normal once the creature had removed his hand from the table so did the runes and spell fizzle into mere embers. The world seemed to oblivious to their gathering and with a hefty sigh seemingly uncertain of his actions he looks to Annie,
"Because inevitably we will be raiding structures we know so very little about, and the last time I found one it was full of many things that people might find to their liking. A contract of the like ensures we can avoid any such arguments arising from such matters of ownership."


"An intriguing idea Leon, it has been many years since I walked amongst your people, is this a common practice?"

I wish for knowledge, not material possessions.
” the kobold spoke up. Contracts were a thing not normally explored by him, if for no better reason than he felt a party should not need such things. Those exploring an area as unknown and dangerous as what was being asked of him could not do so if they did not have trust in each other, and if there was trust then there should be no need for a binding contract.

If I must add my name to a contract, I shall, but I would hope such a binding is not necessary.
” he added. It was not as though he wished to seem like he wanted to be exempt from a rule, merely that the rule itself would do more harm than good. If someone truly wanted to fight over something, then they would do so whether there was a contract or not. All that was able to enforce it was those in the party, after all.
