((How can you stand that song?))<br/><br/><strong>Giselle Do'Urden/Guenhwyvar<br/>Location; The Western Trek, the Plains<br/>Time; Early morning, Day 2<br/>Tagged, Nina and everyone else in her class.</strong><br/><br/>Giselle stopped right behind Nina, having ran on ahead to see if there was anything unwanted in the area, but she could sense nothing.  That didn't mean there wasn't anything, just that there was nothing obvious that put her on alert....yet.  She'd keep her eyes peeled however as she looked to the girl, crossing her arms over her own chest as she considered how best to answer her.  Instead, she shrugged and simply stood before her entire class instead a moment later, planning to remove her bracers to even the odds a bit as she dropped her pack to the ground before putting the enchanted items away, for the moment.  Even without them, her sword skills were top notch, and today was simply to take a measure of what they were capable of.  Well, no better way to do that then to have them take her on....all at the same time.  Taking a spot on a hill that was high enough to be seen by everyone, Giselle folded her hands behind her as Guen stood by her side, silently looking at everyone as her guard in case someone got trigger happy since she was a Drow, although in appearance only.  It wouldn't have been the first time someone had tried to take her out in a crowd after all.  "My name is Giselle Do'Urden, and welcome to your first day of Ranger hell.  300 years of experience is mine to command, and you will learn everything I have to teach if you hope to have a snowballs chance in a snowstorm to make it out in the worlds you came from.  Wherever you came from, whatever you happen to have been back home, that doesn't matter here.  We are all equals, all hoping to improve yourselves in some way or another, even I am a student in a way since we never stop growing if we keep our minds open and our wits about us.  Take a look at the plains for example."<br/><br/>Letting them absorb the view for a few minutes, Giselle walked forward, seeing much more than an empty plain given her training.  "Take a good long look.  These plains might seem empty, but if you know where to look, you might just find far more treasure here than you could at first imagine.  Herbs for healing potions to poisons, food in the dirt as well as the animals the run wild here, as well as alchemical and spell components from the monsters that call places like this home as well.  You might just see an empty plain, but I see and you shall as well, eventually, far more.  Now, enough of the cheesy speeches, I want to see what you're capable of, all of you.  You are to attack me with everything you have, hold nothing back because I sure as in the Nine Hells won't."  She grinned, Icingdeath and Twinkle popping free of their respective sheaths in a blink of an eye, her magical bow and its matching quiver on her back.  The students hesitated, and she put a few of them down the next moment, using the flat sides of her blades to exact her pound of flesh for their hesitation.  "You must never hesitate!  Hesitation will cost you your life!  Now, let's go, that's an order!"  That got their attention as the grand melee began....
