Welcome to the City of Artists. [OPEN]

[theshadowkissed]

Who: Greensworn and you
What: Befriending Derenaar
Where: Derenaar and surrounding areas
When: July 12-20
Warnings: bad Darnassian grammar, possible demon killings

[OOC: This post is for any and all interaction with Derenaar and the Greensworn helping the elves from scouring demons to rearranging the greenery to other daily quests up to and including showing other Dragonsworn around. Please remember to add your tag to the post.]


[When the Greensworn arrived at Derenaar, they weren't entirely sure what to expect. Were these elves going to be like the Sin'thalas elves and wish their destruction because of some grudge against the dragons? Or would they be more like the elves of Silverglen Retreat, willing to allow them access and trade but stay distant? What they hadn't expected was - after a lengthy conversation in Darnassian between Rose Hathaway and the elven leaders of Derenaar - to be welcomed in with open arms to the city.

With it being better than initially expected, the Greensworn set about proving themselves by helping out in Derenaar. It seemed a bag of demon heads and a few Kaldorei druids that still honored the Green Flight went a long way.]

[Hawk cries out, earning a nod from Jacques as he suddenly moves to hop down from the tree. He swings his bow gun over a shoulder, nodding towards the woods.]

He sees something to the northeast.

[heartstorage]

Northeast?

[Yay action! He bounces to his feet, looking up at Jacques]

Alright! Let's go!

[Small lion away!!]

[ninjacques]

[Jacques is actually a little surprised once the lion cub goes sprinting off. He hadn't expected Sora to take off so soon, and shouting after him will just draw attention.

He glances up briefly, but it seems Hawk has already spied Sora's movement, his circle widening as he continues to glide above. With a nod to himself, the hunter moves to follow after the little lion, perhaps not as quickly, but someone needs to be keeping an eye and ear out!]

[heartstorage]

[He's sorry he is just young and full of energy!]

[Luckily, he won't dart off too far ahead- he's not that reckless. Every once and awhile he'll stall and look back over his shoulder to see if Jacques is following.]

[Though he's practically bouncing in spot. Come on man it's been like a month since he's gotten to kill anything!]

[ninjacques]

[Wow Sora, vicious!

Jacques won't lag too far behind at least, but at the rate Sora's going, it shouldn't be any surprise for him to come across a small group of Felguard first. At least they'll be surprised too?]

[heartstorage]

[He's the cutest little killer okay!]

[Oh he does. It's not too long with running ahead does he start to hear the sounds of the group. He slows down and tries to move quieter- attempting to use his small and dark body to blend into the shadows of the forest to at least try to get a good look at these guys.]

[He should do this long enough to give Jacques a chance to get ready himself if he catches up]

[ninjacques]

[Oh good, at least Sora is being cautious. Thankfully the wind is in his favor too, blowing towards him rather than away. Jacques isn't sure how good the senses of Felguards are, but better safe than sorry.

The hunter is quiet, slipping into place beside a tree not far from the little lion. He peers past the underbrush to see what they're dealing with.

The Felguard are built thick, red-skinned and humanoid, armored everywhere except their muscular chests. There's about six of them, most armed with axes, a couple with swords.]

[heartstorage]

[Six was a pretty good number. If he had his keyblade, he probably wouldn't think twice about throwing himself in there. But as it was, he probably should stand to be a bit more careful.]

[But hey, that's part of the reason he was out here right? Practice]

[Before he moves out, he concentrates on the ground. He feels several roots of the forest, and uses his that greensworn ability to raise the roots around the feet of the felguard, so they're more likely to trip and even for a few- trap them where they stand.]

[Once that's done with- he gives a single nod towards Jacques before darting out to go after the one that's furthest away from its group, moving with extreme quickness and agility]

[ninjacques]

[Nodding back at Sora, Jacques watches from his vantage point as the cub sets out.

Sora's root traps do the trick, tripping up a few of the demons. The ones that don't fall are quickly on the alert, looking around, the ones that are on the ground quickly making use of weapons to slash at the offensive roots.

The one targeted by Sora gets to his feet just as the lion draws near enough, but it's one of the others that spots the Greensworn first. He gives a shout, pointing, but he doesn't get much farther than that even as the others turn their attention towards Sora, gurgling as he finds a large arrow punching through the back of his throat.]

[heartstorage]

[Sora is well aware that the attention is on him, though having that one silenced helped. It doesn't matter very much to him, he's used to Heartless being able to pinpoint him at any time anyway]

[Instead he focuses on his target. When he's near enough, he uses his speed to leap into the air and swipe at the demon's stomach- landing shortly after and moving out of range]

[ninjacques]

[Finding one of their number struck from behind, it throws them into disarray as their attention is torn between Sora and whomever else had attacked them.

The one being attacked by Sora is caught off his guard, growling as the lion cub strikes. He swipes back with a battle axe, however too slowly as Sora's already moved out of range.

Two of the other demons move to assist Sora's target, the other two scanning the forest for signs of the other attacker. It's then that Hawk dives from above with a scream, sharp talons tearing at whatever unarmored flesh it can. Jacques lets another arrow fly as the demons are preoccupied with his eagle, trusting the bird to get clear. He swoops around to try and distract some of the ones moving for Sora, next.]
