Conflict At Elesif

It seemed that the other two men felt that she was too harsh on the one that tried to grab her, because now they were rushing at her in tandem. It seemed the two gentleman one on either side of her were part of the Frey as well since there were 9 guards. One Doing a powerful palm thrust on a guard he knocked off balance with a barstool. She expected nothing less from a Skillful Looking gladiator, which to anyone else would be a strange way to look at it because you would think you wouldn't get scarred up like that as 'the best' gladiator. However she thought of it more like, trophies. It was something he loved doing and he carried with him the Scars of a fight well loved. Kind of Dense of her but then again there wasn't much that wasn't unless it came to building or tinkering.

"It seems you are quite insistent. . . But i am afraid my mind won't change. No touching. Only LOOKING!" Serena said pulling up her 6ft hammer with both hands and putting it over her right shoulder at an angle. After a moment of mental preparation she dropped her stance wide. Giving her a strong base and she swung with all her might Which, to be frank, For her size would be quite the surprise of these men. Serena was tougher than most women, and a lot of Men, despite how she looked. This swing would probably teach them their lesson. . . Right? Hopefully she would be able to get all of the remaining Grabbers down in this swing. That way she could go back to eating and talking. Well, After giving the bar owner a good scolding. Where did he get off calling her. . . What was it? Pirate? What was a pirate? Hmm. investigation needed be done. If she didn't forget.

At the very least she could say this was the first time she was part of a full scale bar brawl just because these guys couldn't learn as children to keep their hands to themselves. How rude. Their parents were either really bad or would be really disappointed in their children she figured. Odd that she could grasp that concept when she couldn't even figure out that she was an orphan right? Well in any case she had to make odds or ends out of all of this at some point. . right?

Technique Used:

After his successful sweep, Haru rose back up and extended his hand back and grabbed his spear. It was quite bothersome that they had to deal with a group of 9 people. They were also formally trained soldiers so they might reveal themselves to be a formidable opponent. In any case, Haru could use "That" to escape. Though, the bar was too small of a place for him to unleash it, moving to an open space would definitely prove an advantage for him. But leaving the bar was not going to be an easy job. The commander was blocking the door so he wouldn't have an easy access to it. He took a small step back and readied himself in case of an attack while he assessed the situation.

"Hey, follow my lead I will get us out of here" He said to the two other people on the same boat as him. He took a step closer towards the officers in front of him. "I give up!" He said and extended his arms outwards for the soldiers to cuff him.

If the other two followed along with what Haru said he would wait for all three of them to be escorted out of the building before acting again. If not he would attempt to get only himself out of the building by saying: "I want nothing to do with this fight, I will just accept my punishment. Oh by the way sorry about the sweeping, I thought you were going to try and hurt me."

The banner-man hit by the palm thrust was sent reeling back, tumbling into the two approaching from behind. They both paused to chach him and help right his balance while Eneas grabbed a table and made his stampede. One caught wind before the other and relinquished their twice-attacked colleague to challenge the charge. He lifted and pointed his spear forwards, planting it in the table. From Eneas' view, he was have seen the very tip of it protruding through the floral array of cracks and splinters it marked on the table on impact. The table was also brought to a sudden stand still mid air by the ability of the banner-man to command his weapon. A second tip violently poked into the table, sprouting another new floral display and an exerting against the table to repel Eneas back.  

The two men on their feet approaching Serena had being focused on her before she was on them. They were already in position as she was taking stance. One of them reacted to her lifting the hammer over her head and hurled his weight at her head on to interrupt a swing. The other reacted to his colleague, able to note quickly after his sudden movement what action he was taking as it was one they had been trained to do. The second followed in suit, using his body to pin her against the bar and through thw shimmying and tussling were attempting to shift themselves across her mass to angle one of them on top of her swing arm while the other was against her body and their spear rods pressed against her neck.

The table defending Eneas from the banner-men began to crack just with the two as the third pointed and righted his spear with the intend of running into the table and battering it like a ram. Similar the third knight contending with Serena raised the blunt end of his spear to charge her stomach. They were instances away from making impact when-

"I give up!"

The two free banner-man paused. As did the two approaching Haru. One shifted to the side to give space while the other took out handcuffs and lowered their spear. Finally, the squadron leader had heard something that peak his interest, just as his foot was about to step down on the outside soil. He coiled himself back a moment to stand inside the tavern and pivoted causally on the spot to glance briefly at both Eneas and Serena in their tussles with his men.  

"...Well, what say thee?" the squadron leader asked, calmly in the quiet. While he wasn't cavalier with any pregnant pause, he didn't hurry his words either. As he spoke and a banner-man placed Haru in cuffs, he was also timely about it. He guided Haru's offered hands around to his back with patience. As he successfully clasped one wrist his compatriot lowered their own spear to do the same with the other hand, finishing with each gripping an arm and the other holding the spear.

[OOC: Note I edited a post from up above to add in a new URL for the bar image as Tinypic no longer does direct link image hosting.]

Enea's palm thrust pushback was a momentary success. The knights were more skilled than what he had thought. Catching on to their stricken comrade and improvising spontaneously afterward. They caught on to his tactic and used their spears to act like a splinter in a rose vine when something comes in contact with it. Talk about being troublesome. These three are putting up a nice fight. He thought to himself as he maintained the table intact with force against their offensive approach.  

He didn't really have a chance to look back as to what was happening behind him. He was pretty sure the girl would hold her own. By the sound of it that is. These aren't you average knights... I'm pretty sure in a one on one we could take them apart easily but we are outnumbered. He thought to himself in concern for the woman. In the middle of this all he heard the voice of which caught his interest.

"Hey, follow my lead I will get us out of here"

Should I really trust this dark-haired punk? The table which he held broke in half. Therefore exposing his position. He had a spear coming straight at him, "Here goes—" he paused his speech suddenly.

"I give up!"

Did he really say that?! The dark-haired punk had voluntarily turned himself in and got cuffed in the process. He didn't seem to want to be part of any of this.Wait a minute, this guy did mention to follow his lead. This punk may actually have an ace up his sleeve... Should I trust him? I don't even know that little punk.

"...Well, what say thee?"

"I don't apologize for anything I've done. I'll voluntarily turn myself in," Eneas said with pride. Like I'd agree to this in my life. This kid better have something under his sleeve or else... He turned his back to the spearmen to allow them to come near and attempt to place cuffs on him. Hmph. Thereafter turning back to look at the woman and smile, "It is what it is let's see how this shall go by the end of the day lady. By the way, the name is Constantinou, Eneas. It was a pleasure to meet you."

Serena Was confident that a swing from Mischief would Get these grabby assholes off of her but instead of that it seemed they tackled and grabbed hold of her with their spears to her neck in a decisive motion and they were feeling her up all over. This was exactly the type of situation She had expected to happen which is why she was fighting in the first place. "You dirty perverts get your damn hands off me!" Serena said Not giving up her struggle so easily. She was not going to be felt up on by some random Jackasses. She had to think quick, which to be perfectly fair was not her strong point. Especially in this situation as her Fight or flight instinct usually tilted to the latter. She couldn't get away with these pervs piling on top of her though.

Letting go of her hammer with her left hand she grabbed the poles on her neck and pushed them back just a little, for these men were indeed quite strong. But she herself was no pushover, She opened up her right hand a little off the handle and let the hammer handle slide down through her hand with her hammer still in it with the intention of the head of the hammer crashing down on top of the guard on her right side giving her the ability to free her hands once more so she could get the perv on the left off of her as well. This would hopefully create an opening that she could bolt past them and she planned to smash out the window just ahead of her on the outside wall of the bar adjacent to the wall that her back was to currently and this would put her right past the man blocking the door as well.

It seemed that the man she had been talking to, the gladiator. had lost his fighting spirit as well, that was a tragedy if she could think of any. A man Living for combat who would succumb to these perverts. He did something she didn't expect however and he finally introduced himself to her Constantinou, Eneas She thought to herself trying to commit it to memory, She did have the thought also though. "That's far too complicated, I will cal you En Okay?" She said with a smile Knowing that if her plan worked and the hammer dazed the guard on her right to get him off of her she was going to clock the man to her left with the flat of her hammers head and while he was dazed as well she was going to bolt.

She wasn't one for the grand heroics Persay but she did at least feel like what was happening to them was wrong enough that she would have to try to find a way to save the others if she got away. What kind of person would she be if she just let this travesty go. In order to not sustain damage on her way out the window she would block with her forearms and legs as she smashed into the window because her arms and legs were tempered as iron from her days of working hard they would not be damaged by some weak glass. The Plan to rescue them however... Well she wasn't really a one for well thought out plans so likely it would just land her in the same jail giving up would if she weren't reading the situation so very wrongly.

Eneas accepted to follow through with Haru's plan despite not knowing what he had in mind. It was a surprise, from what he had seen Eneas' character, he seemed to be the kind of person that was all brawn no brain and loved to seek out challenges. But it seemed he had some brain in him after all. Haru's opinion of him changed, he wasn't just the fight-loving idiot Haru had once thought. He was also credulous. He knew Haru for 5 seconds and yet he entrusted his life on him. 'Maybe I am just misjudging him. After all, they were in a tough situation.'

The other person didn't seem as enticed to follow through with the plan. Thought that didn't necessarily ruin it. It would have been best if she had agreed so that Haru could save all of them together. He wanted to give her one last warning before the soldiers had the chance to escort them outside and the plan took action so he shouted. "That's not a very good idea little girl. You are surrounded by 10 military level soldiers. You should just give up and follow through with the punishment. It's what is best for all of us."

Haru, in chains was being guided to the door by the two guards on each arm. Similarly Eneas' hands were guided behind his back and he was put in iron cuffs and given an escort to each arm and guided towards the door. As the girl attempted to struggle, refusing to yield. While she attempted to free herself from the command of the banner-men, still insisting on them being sexually perverse stalkers the third rose back to his feet, now taking umbrage with her having been suckered twice to the cold metallic embrace of her hammer. He flipped the spear rearwards and took his cheap shot, ramming it at her stomach. None of the banner-man would have expected her to attempt an escape at this point but it would have been a surprise to see her even reach across the bar floor never mind leave after being hit. Her strong willed-ness made her the focus of everyone elses attention as they all waited for her to concede or escape.

Serena was trying her best to Fight off these attackers, it was now however when She was doubled over by the crack from A spear to the gullet that she nearly threw up what she had eaten but managed to keep it down. But however she noticed something while she was doubled over she had been focused on protecting herself this whole time and didn't realize, The man she had been talking to and the boy she recognized whom had been sitting on the other side of her. What was that On their arms.. More so even than that. They seemed to have stopped putting up a fight, It was then that she had a brief Flashback that the boy had said something. Along the lines of Getting them out of there. . Well, It did not look as if they were doing so well but even the gladiator man had let himself go peacefully.

She wondered why Someone that did combat all the time to entertain themselves and others would give up so quickly. Because while she really didn't have the slightest clue as to why he had been fighting her motivations were purely protecting herself. After mulling it over for a minute. Serena smacked the butt of the spear away with her hammer and To her best efforts Delivered a kick towards the chest of the Knight who hit her in the stomach aiming to knock him down away from her because what he did was Rude, and Unkind. There was more questions than answers for her though, something she would have to correct in a timely way. " Wait, Where are you taking En?" Serena said kind of Bubbly. She was not Sold that her current situation was something entirely within her realm of understanding.

Amazingly intelligent for the Queen of trashland considering her Social Perception skills were top notch, when compared to a boulder or a wild animal. Serena did stand her ground with her guard up however because it seemed no matter how many times she tried to get them to unhand her they were resilient. She didn't particularly want to fight but she was adamant in her resolve to be left her autonomy. Freedom had been her whole life and Protecting herself from danger and grabby hands was something she had grown used to on the outside of the dump.

Despite Haru's attempt to make the girl concede, she stood firm on her decision to keep on fighting. There was nothing he could do for her anymore, her own stubbornness would be her own undoing. Hopefully, he could give one more try on rescuing her after the plan started. The guards started guiding the two men out the door. They took a few steps outside and once Haru made sure he was far enough from the building he smirked. "Honestly, how stupid can people be. What would we achieve just by giving up? The island we are currently on is a kingdom, which means that the ones deciding our punishment are the royal family who you work for. Which means that we could be facing life in jail, or even worse, execution. Who would follow along with something like that willingly? "

As soon as he finished his small speech his skin started changing colour and his body started growing. His head elongated and a beak and leather wings started forming. He grew a lot in a huge rate reaching the point were the cuffs could no longer contain him, breaking in a violent way with pieces of the chain flying off. When his transformation was finally finished he stood 10 meters tall being at least five times the size of anyone else. He let out an intimidating roar strong enough to lift small rocks through the draft created.

Haru swang his arm/wing to hit the guards that surrounded him and En. If it was not completely successful he would use his beak to attack the remaining soldiers. "Come with me if you want to live. Man, I always wanted to say that, anyway hop on!"

The three knights tackling the restraint of Serena relaxed their aggression upon appreciating that she paused, stunned by the shunt to her abdomen. They didn't let go, but seeing her stop fighting they stopped shoving and pressing her against the bar to simply hold her in position. When her vigour flared up once again, the third knight who jabbed at her with the butt of his spear was using the spear to swat at her manic kicks at him while his colleague redoubled their efforts to restrain her. The third knight took a half step back as her defiantly still attempted to fight her way out. He looked back and forth between his captain and her, for guidance as she was not being co-operative even in the face of violent action. The leader looked back and nodded expectantly to his subordinate with raised, impatient eyebrows. The Knight looked back to Serena. He raised his staff above her prone head, with his comrades currently dealing with her arms. He hesitated at first, considering it felt like a cheap shot and excessive, only because the upper hand was clearly in their favour which the other two mean were able to recognise. Nonetheless he steeled his conviction and swung down on her cheek and side-face. He wasn't aiming to knock her out, simply to desist fighting them.

As the other two were escorted out none of the knights were prepared for the sudden anthropomorphic transition of one of the prisoners. While they didn't have an answer for his ability to fly, ascending out of the reach of their clutches or spears the iron handcuffs were not built to expand, giving Haru whatever leeway room the knights that placed him under arrest initially gave him when they put them on.

[OOC: Gamer your font color is way too bright for my eyes.   )

"Why is she still resisting?! Didn't she hear out this black-haired man's words?" he thought to himself in distress for her actions. Feeling hopeless he stared at the ground in hope for some type of light to come upon them. He could hear the women putting up a fight. Wait! What am I doing?! Eneas started walking heavily as if he didn't want to leave the women behind. In retaliation to this the knights rudely shoved him out the entryway of Riley's Port Bar.  

Haru wrote:"Honestly, how stupid can people be. What would we achieve just by giving up? The island we are currently on is a kingdom, which means that the ones deciding our punishment are the royal family who you work for. Which means that we could be facing life in jail, or even worse, execution. Who would follow along with something like that willingly?"

After these words wisdom were spoken by the dark-haired individual the world before them would turn abstract.... The air before them grew still.


The cuffs placed on the dark-haired man burst apart. The dark-haired individual metamorphosed into a huge dinosaur which Eneas had never seen in his entire life. He looked as dumbfounded as the knights beside him. The knights, townsfolk, foreigners, and the like were completely startled as the dinosaur roared. Its roar was so profound that even a slight vibration could be felt against Enea's chest. "He wasn't kidding when he mentioned he had a plan," he said to himself while staring at the dinosaur blindly. The size of this dinosaur was enormous. The dinosaur could've easily ate a knight for breakfast if it wanted to especially with an enormous beak that it had.

Being accustomed to battle, Eneas knew what was going to come next right after this. He's definitely knocking heads down no doubt about it. Even though he was cuffed he took this opportunity to duck down, make his body tense, and curl a bit. Simultaneously the dinosaur struck down the knights with his huge arm-like wing. Slamming them straight into the walls of Riley's Port Bar and nearby buildings in front of them. Having lost complete grasp over his arms he took this window of opportunity to react. The people throughout the vicinity started screaming in fear while others just stared in amazement as if they were staring at an exotic animal at the zoo.

Haru wrote:"Come with me if you want to live. Man, I always wanted to say that, anyway hop on!"

Eneas let out a brief laughter, "Say no more. Let's get out of here before more knights show up." He sprinted towards the dinosaur, hopped on its back, and sat in the upper section of its neck placing both his legs on a side as if he was mounting on a horse. The woman came in mind but the window of opportunity was bound to close soon. An opportunity like this only came once in a lifetime. It was either you take it or you leave it.

Leave Me:

Serena Took a blow to the cheek At the hands of her oppressors and it did not dull her resolve to get out of this situation however. It seemed there was a commotion outside, Still quite slow on the uptake the first thought she had was if En was okay, he seemed like a nice person if not a little rough around the edges. But being a gladiator you had to be tough she supposed still not letting go of her misconceived fantasy of what his life was like. "Mr. is En okay?!" Serena Shouted at the guy from the bar whom seemed to be the one in charge of having these perverts grabbing all up on her and attacking her when she hadn't done anything wrong. But this was more important than all of that. Serena had to figure something out so she could go check on En.

"Rude bartender, Ask Mr Sampson to pay for our meals out of my days wages please" Serena said not trying to be a dine and dasher as she had heard them called once before elsewhere. "Please let me go Mr's I want to make sure En is okay" Serena said submissively to the 3 around her hoping it was quiet enough that she wouldn't be heard by the leader man who was kind of a jackass considering she had already apologized for him startling her and her hammer accidentally hitting him. Loosening her stance and guard so that she could reach the strap for her hammer which was behind her since they were holding her arms down. and clasped it onto her hammer and let it go since it would hang freely from the strap, although a little awkwardly since she was pressed up against the bar and she couldn't adjust it to its normal position.

If they hesitated her plan was to slip free using her slender figure to her advantage and dodge to the left of the guard in front of her who was hitting her constantly with his spear so that she would stay out of the reach of the leader at the door and go out the window, She would go out and check on En to make sure he was okay little did she realize his position at the moment was far better than hers. She had been so focused she hadn't heard the Black haired man's offer. Which really would have been to her advantage as it was To En's currently. Getting off this island would not be an easy feat, though she supposed she could ask Sampson for help. He was a very nice man.

OOC: I'm through posting here. Dumbass Kata will take course as to where we are headed. (Sen's words, except for the "Dumbass" part)

With the first two on escape the squadron leader had two choices. It took him less than a second to signal back into the tavern, marching the rest of his troops in to assist in apprehending the woman. It was not as graceful as apprehending the men due to her resiliency, and between the nine available hands, the banner-man utilised their spears to render Serena unconscious. When she awoke, she would find herself in a dark, dank cell.

Waking up in jail was something new for Serena she did have to say. And she was always thankful for new experiences. But, there was the slight matter of having her freedom restricted... She wouldn't be able to go back to work.. Hopefully Mr. Sampson would be understanding after all he had understood when she crushed the mans hand the day before for grabbing her ass in the bar. Well. Serena found herself in a cell next to a man with a rough exterior, as one might imagine. Her mind immediately made him into a gladiator. "mr. Gladiator... where am i?" Serena asked and was met with a laugh.

"You don't know what jail is ay? They hauled your limp unconscious body in here and dumped you off. Guess you did something pretty fucked up no?" the man said with a rough chizzled voice.

"These random weirdos started grabbing all over me and i beat on them quite a bit, Then they started hitting me with spears and thats all i remember" Serena naively answered.

"Ya don't say? Hahahaha. Well Jail is where you go when you break the law, or the kingdom decides to lock you up for shits and giggles. Personally i am a pirate, my crew is gonna come for me soon. i just know it, then i will be out of this joint." The man replied.

This continued on for several hours until some scraps of food were brought after all, they couldn't have their prisoners starve into the Sweet release of death on their account. Suffering was much more their speed. "Come to think of it, the bartender called me a pirate, Whats a pirate?" Serena asked and the whole Dungeon lit up with laughter.

"You grow up under a rock? You don't seem to know much. A pirate is Someone who is the most free. Because they don't let laws and the like burden them and they do what they want and take what they want." The man boasted.

This gave Serena an interesting thought. Freedom. "So they are free..? But you are here. And i am here. If i am a pirate will i be freed?" Serena asked putting the man damn in tears because this girl was hilarious their conversation continued on for awhile while they ate.

"I see, well if you grew up basically alone in a dump i guess it makes sense that you don't seem to know much. Depending how long i am in here before my crew busts me out i guess i can fill you in. Its nice to have something to pass the time at least." The Man began regaling her with well... Basic common sense information that everyone with a brain should know by this girls age.

For a week they would talk like this and she was released. She hoped his crew would come for him. He seemed like a nice guy, he had been very helpful for her.
