Watching the reactions of the other Iron Boars, Cyria isn't surprised at all by what she's seeing.  Johan's already made his opinion quite clear, and Sasara is not far behind.  Yumina's rather blunt reaction was also expected, and Cyria gave her an appraising look.  Even given her fairly rocky introduction to the group, Alura had a habit of being able to change the opinions of even the most intractable individuals, given time.  Who knew, she might decide that she liked the fairy's company more than she thought, and the Iron Boars were always looking for combatants of her skill as potential members, especially given there would be relatively little training involved.<br/><br/>Seeing Makisa's troubled look when she interjects, Cyria just gives her another wide fang-filled smile.  "Oh, is that all you're basing your little operation here on?  Rumors and stories?  You do realize what is involved in correctly opening and exploiting a well, correct?  Ask yourself this then - do you really want to pick a fight with the same people who can perform such a feat?"<br/><br/>[<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/375094">Perception check</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">1d20+6</span><span style="font-weight: bold">22</span>-> Success]<br/><br/>A flicker of movement out of the corner of her eye draws her attention away, and she fixes her gaze on the robe-wearing human Johan pointed out.  More specifically, the telltale movements of his hands within his robes.  Muttering a string of less-than-kind imprecations (all in Undercommon), she steps in between Johan and Yumina, putting one hand on his shoulder.  Raising the other, she gives a quick chant and traces a warding symbol in the air, between him and the other spellcaster.<br/><br/>[ Spending an Arcane Reservoir point and burning a casting of Charm Person to activate her Counterspell Exploit.

That was rude.  If we consider that your response, and I see no reason not to, as a leader is responsible for all of the actions of their subordinates, I think that- " Apparently more of their group was thinking along the same lines but were willing to take it a step further, as a quick pair of gunshots sound from just behind her, cutting her off.  Glancing back and seeing Alura taking a far more determined stance than she was used to seeing the normally-cheerful fairy take, Cyria just shakes her head.  "Well then.  If that's how it's going to be...let's dance."<br/><br/>Turning to Yumina, Cyria rests one hand delicately on her shoulder, taking care to avoid any areas that were still sore from their earlier fight.  "You're not exactly one of us, at least not yet, but let me give you a little something to make up for what I did for you earlier."  Trailing off, she gives another quick chant, and magic pulses down her arm and into Yumina, causing her to grow significantly larger.  "Why don't you go properly introduce yourself?"<br/><br/>[ Casting Enlarge Person on Yumina. ]
