<hr/><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/gH5eFer.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><strong>Name:</strong> Auro Rencroft (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=286197.msg14086670#msg14086670)<br/><strong>Aura:</strong> Gold 3/3.<br/><strong>Charge:</strong> 0/10<br/><strong>Time/Date:</strong> Day 1 - Morning. <br/><strong>Location:</strong> Searching the Forest<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong> Kakariki, OPEN <strong>Mention:</strong> Azuri</span><br/><hr/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> In between the pauses in his own action, his eyes watched Kakariki intently, trying to observe her moves, how she fought, her tactics; all of it. They were partners, and understanding how each other fought would only help them do better as a team. It also meant an easier time in combat if they knew how to compliment one another and watch their backs. She used the Beowulf he'd launched her way's own momentum to impale it on the tip of her shield. <br/><br/>Then she turned it into a flail of sorts and wrapped it around the throat of another Grimm, yanking it down hard into the ground. Then she used her current victim as a bludgeon and swung him into yet another Beowulf. Both monsters exploded into smoke on impact. Three down in no time at all, and she was not only skilled, but efficient in how she used her movements and weapon. He was impressed, and very much looking forward to seeing more of her in action.<br/><br/> She even had the courtesy to throw a Grimm his way after killing two more. Auro smiled at her and nodded his thanks, right before swinging his tail down onto the Beowulf's skull with a dull, crunching thud. It vanished moments after the death blow landed. "I guess you're right. Wouldn't be worth our time or all the effort we've put into this if we didn't challenge ourselves." <br/><br/>Turning to the remaining Beowulves, Auro switched Brute Rhapsody to ranged mode, took aim, and threw out several attack combinations that blasted dust at what was left. Burned, Frozen, Electrocuted. Three of the Beowulves went down just like that, dissolving into smoke and ash while the remains of the dust attacks left behind. The final one leaped at him, hoping he wasn't paying attention after killing the others. It was wrong though, and his tail quickly wrapped around the throat of the creature.<br/><br/> It gagged, clawing and scraping at the thick appendage, but doing no damage to the heavily armored and thickly muscled limb. It may as well have been trying to slice through armor plating. He continued to squeeze and squeeze until the creature went limp, then poofed into black smoke leaving his tail wrapped around nothing. "Hmmph. A nice warm-up at least. I don't doubt we'll find some real trouble later though...can't wait to see you in action again."<br/></span><br/>
