<div class="floatleft">Han Ming-Fu (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=2318621)<br/>(https://i.gyazo.com/789772ede28173cb214f86fff115c5d3.jpg) (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=2318621)</div>Ming-Fu was slowly getting her bearings and balance back.  This ungainly form was still unfamiliar, but now felt more like a new suit of tailored robes that fit just fine but needed to be moved about in, to fully become ready for casual usage.<br/><br/>Spying the staves against the far Southern wall, she moved quickly and directly to grab one of them and hefted its weight in her hands.  Spinning it at the ready, she momentarily regarded the shaft and grappling jaws of its business end before eerily speaking once again, her tone clear and projecting loudly, as if telling a story.<br/><br/>"Once upon a time, there was harmony between the elements of creation; between Wood, Metal, Fire, Earth, and Water.  But all of that changed when Fire was used to attack, when Fire became a tool of war...<br/><br/>The Empire's Zhanhu Warriors utilized fire to great effect, and would recite this mantra as they faced their foes...<br/><br/><em>'Excellence is a journey, where the weak lurk in shadows. Yet my blade burns stronger!<br/><br/>One by one, I smother death! I reap their flames! Let them fear me. In the midst of war, I breathe FIRE!'</em>"<br/><br/>Ming-Fu simultaneously assumed a war-stance, her dimpled knees flexed in a cat-like half-crouch, as her hands extended the polearm outwards in a ready and threatening manner.  As her words concluded with the word 'FIRE!', a nimbus of hot flames erupted all around her and hungrily flickered over her weapon as well, yet consumed and burned nothing about the Tian girl, leaving her unharmed.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">GM information</div><div class="spoiler_body">Ming-Fu will move 15' towards the Southern wall, and spend a Move-Equivalent Action to grab one of the mancatchers and use it to fight with.  She'll spend the two Tempo she's accumulated this round and the last round plus an extra point of Tempo to restore her Flowing Creek maneuver as a Free Action.  She'll then activate her Elemental Nimbus Stance as a Swift action.   <br/></div></div>
