<strong>Jeong Soo-Jin</strong><br/><strong>Location</strong>: Inside the school<br/><strong>Tag</strong>: Everyone<br/>Shield roll: 41 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=49832)<br/><hr/><br/>When Neela spoke up, Jin felt somewhat annoyed at the girl's willingness to just abandon a person in need but also simultaneously agreed with her. She felt conflicted on what to do, and in the end the creature made the choice for them, deciding to rush out of the classroom while the group was still debating (some of them tripping over each other as well).<br/><br/>Pushing herself away from the lockers, Jin took a step back and happened to be the closest one to the hideous little goblin-like monster. At first, she was certain that she was going to die gruesomely when the thing came rushing at her with its machete, but then something clicked inside of her. Not even in her head - it wasn't a conscious thing - just inside of her, somewhere.<br/><br/>She suddenly got the notion that her arm represented salvation and got into a stance straight out from one of the many history books that she'd read as a large, rectangular scutum shield materialized before her, the leather straps appearing around her thin arm. The shield felt extremely sturdy and real and yet weighed nothing despite being almost as tall as Jin herself - taller, in fact, when she knelt behind it on one knee to brace herself for the goblin's attack.<br/><br/>Too focused on what she was doing, which included not dying, she didn't even stop to think how any of this was possible. She just blocked the machete and at the same time shoved the monster back with her shield, pushing it away and causing it to stumble clumsily as it snarled and made other unpleasant noises.<br/><br/>Where just moments ago she'd felt frail and scared, Jin now felt strong and...still somewhat scared, but not as much as before she could make giant shields materialize out of thin air.
