Forcellia, or at least the part of it that contained the clearing in which the group now found themselves, wasn't exactly welcoming. The ground was little more than rocky soil, the sky violet-grey and overcast. Here, it was evidently late afternoon, edging into evening. It was slightly humid, as if from a recent rain; faint clouds of steamy mist seemed to curl off the ground, partially obscuring their view of their surroundings. Scraggly trees rose up out of this mist here and there, as if grasping towards fresher air.

The villagers in the area had supposedly been contacted ahead of time, and this had been the place they’d agreed to meet the crew. Whether or not they knew anything about this supposed Scepter of Domination, however, was not yet clear. What the Scepter even did or how it might contribute to their struggle was even less clear.

In the distance, they might hear the occasional whinny of a horse, or the lowing of a cow carrying up to them from the distance, though it was difficult, if not impossible, to tell from which direction the sound was coming from.

Alendian plucked a box out of her armor. Surprisingly, it was equipped with a large red cross. Seems like this kind of thing is universal in the grimdark universe of Warhammer 40k.

"We hardly need your filthy clothes. I have proper, sterile bandaging materials if required."

"They will be required after-which, yes," Sofia agreed, as she knelt down close to Soren. Her hand began to glow with a white light which she placed above his wounds, casting midheal. Hopefully this would be good enough for now, part of her magic had been drained fighting the dragon.

Well, scratch that powerup idea with the beast running off. Shoutarou sighed, putting the staff on his back before breaking his transformation. And as no one else had seemed to answer the incoming woman, clearly this was a job for Shoutarou.

He stepped up to the woman. "That would be us, miss."

Ronnae settled down nearby, trying to assess the scenario they had just faced.

The dragon was certainly hostile, having sneaked up on their group while they were waiting for their contacts. Granted, the fact that it can talk opens a secondary measure through which they could deal with it.

Of course, their current standing with the dragon was... unfavorable. But she'd seen people talk down angrier sorts to a level where they could talk things out before, so it wasn't out of the question.

Most their attacks had little or unnoticeable effects, she won't say they had no effect considering she'd faced bigger dragons before, it's just a matter of assessing what works or how to make it work.

She made rounds around the camp to see if she was needed anywhere.

You hear that, Punchy? Your clothes are filthy (also a little smelly; vinyl just doesn't breathe). Finally, something upon which Soren and Alendian could agree.

Soren nodded curtly to Sofia in thanks, though he still regarded her with some suspicion. People who could transform into dragons were a little too close to the beings he was familiar with for comfort. Once her spell was finished, he removed his gloves gingerly and cast them aside, testing out his fingers. It seemed Sofia's abilities worked quickly, though the traces of the burns were not completely gone as of yet (protip: don't look inside the gloves).

"I would... appreciate it," Soren said to Alendian. He hated being helped by someone he didn't like, but it was, of course, probably necessary.

Ronnae frowned but simply sheathed her own massive weapons, crossing her arms right afterwards.

"No, not a dark elf, not from this world either. I came with the group sent here, and I mean you no harm." She wasn't surprised though, just because someone was fighting the same foe, didn't mean that they were friendly, she'd learn that the hard way through the many wars back home.

"Ronnae, Ronnae 'Mash Belore Ryllos, one of the crew members of the Transmigration 9" She didn't know if they were part of the group that was supposed to meet them, but she bowed respectfully nonetheless.

Alendian slid off her helmet, revealing her own elf-like looks except with the spider emblem painted on her forehead. The same one on her helmet...in the exact same place.

Opening up the small box, she pulled out a small cloth and unraveled it completely. Without the slightest sense of delicacy (because Soren was clearly a mon-keigh), she slapped it on Soren's hands and the bandage bonded itself to his skin, allowing it function as a kind of second skin for the time being.

Hoo, that was a rough reaction, but then the lady had to go and criticize the plan - or lack thereof. The detective's face grew irritated, as did his tone. "Well, excuse us for not expecting a damn dragon! I'd think this would be something you'd want to warn someone about before they come to pay you a visit!"

"Never said I wasn't one either, I'm a half elf, I jus' meant I'm not a dark elf, and I'm sure she isn't one either. Regardless, we're all part of the crew, and we came here upon the request set forth by the mission specs. If you could point us in the direction we need to go, it would be greatly appreciated."

Ronnae bowed her heard slightly in respect, not wanting to give way or disrespect the locals.

"Elf?" Sounded like an insult to Alendian. And she was no where near as polite as Ronnae was attempting to be. "I am an Eldar, mon-keigh. I have nothing to do with what happens to pass as an 'elf'."

"Yo, can we not be frontin' all over each other here? We came to help and we nearly got easy-baked. Everyone's a bit up on edge, ya dig? We don't need to be flinging shade."

Punchy steps between the elves/Eldar/mystery detectives and the riders, and spreads his arms in the universally acknowledged gesture for "check it before you wreck it". He flicks up his goggles and looks at the man.

"Neese your homeboy? We could stand to kick it and recoup a little. Lead the way."
