*The total number of recruits for Archas private squad was surprisingly small, just ten in total, and theyd be told that number would be cut in half. Archa kept her personal unit tight and mobile it seemed, less than ten at all times. The other recruits had very different ideas though two others, a Kirin lass (at least she looked like a lass, hard to tell with unicorns) and a rathian in monster form, each stayed behind...most of the force that charged Grandus was male.*<br/><br/>*The captain pointed his sword to the side without changing his facial expression and slung a dagger of flames down the blade to focus the edge, out to strike a target far off to the sides, at first nothing happened but then there was a loud SNAP, as a large net flipped up and snared five of the charging recruits, pressing them to the ground by a spring loaded trap, many in very uncomfortable positions. But the trap was not over, A second snap saw a thick rope spring from the ground to clothesline anyone who did not show haste, Arcen and the Kirin were spry and quick enough to hop the rope, but the feral Rathian  got a nasty whalop that caught her wasteline and was flung front flipping a good ten feet through the air and landed on her back in a mud hole, utterly winded and mentally shocked. Then just as the two who made it past the initial net trap approached, one male and one female, they stepped on a line of well hidden rakes, with stop signs fixed to their handles and with a loud CLANG the both of them were stopped in their tracks, and held their aching heads the female, an anthro Lagombi, shook it off as her head was quite sturdy, and brought her axe to bear down(pun not intended) on grandus...the captain dropped his sword, flailing his arms out saying<span style="color: #FF8000">"woah woah woa--Gangam style"</span>switching to an odd hopping dance which confused and stunned the lagombi before he booted her in the face and threw her to ground with his bare claws. While this did have comedic value, he did not allow her to regain her standing position without tremendous effort, he was ruthless in his assault, when she told him to "wait" he replied*,<span style="color: #FF8000">"No enemy will let you wait!"</span>*before booting her in the face again, sending her rolling down the hill, at which he took up his sword aimed its tip straight at the rear line, and fired off more flame daggers, peppering Arcen and the Kirin with hot shots...and this was just the opening act.*<br/><br/>*On the sidelines, a black and gold dragoness which highly resemboled Archa, sat on a large stone in anthro form, a large crescent shaped bladed man-catcher bident sat to the right of her, its pommel planted in the soil. She wore reinforced cloth armor, and her claws and boots were of a metalic gold color with a matching tail claw...all had an eye marked in the palm of the limb including her boots. Her upper face was covered by a thick black visor of metal suggesting she couldnt or didnt need to see. She watched the event unfold but her collar and visor prevented any reading from her face. In simplicity, she enjoyed watching traps unfold, the precision and surprise was addictive to her. But only a few people really knew her well enough to see that.*<br/><br/>*Further into camp was a massive beast of a woman, standing at twelve feet tall, the Goddess of love Sakura Hanaryuu, known by all and famous for her generosity as well as her extremely unusual body shape. She was the pink scaled mother of all Hanaryuu(see first post for description) standing on two legs, with a long neck and petit chest, yet great burly arms and an even mightier set of legs, her hips were colossal with a rump to match them at over twelve times the width from shoulder to shoulder, and a mighty tail as thick as a tree. All supported on surprisingly dainty feet...but she carried herself with solidity despite her odd body shape. In her right claw she carried a mighty war club reinforced with rings of studded metal, and on her tremendous hips was a belt which held matching wooden mallets, each barrel shaped with long sturdy hafts and metal rings keeping the striking faces locked tight, six additional metal studds were added to each face to form a hexagon shape to help the hammers tear through armor. The love goddess was adorned with a great coat of pink and brown, with much of her skin still showing, especially around her plump brown skinned underbelly. She winced with each painful trap that struck the new recruits and payed close attention to those who were successful, It came down to the agile Nargacuga, and the nimble Kirin and she could sense the competition in the air. Sakura found herself licking her plump green lips thinking of the two fresh bloods,<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #FF80FF">Perhapse these little ones will prove entertaining later.</span></span>she thought dropping her massive rear over the grass, even seated the goddess towered over most anyone else aside from monsters in feral form.*
