Claire felt an entirely different kind of tension unrelated to combat while his sleek helmet turned to regard Maribelle's invigorating dance. Wisely having chosen to point and shallowly dig his tool into the freshly trampled dirt underneath before glancing, the tin lord's fleeting look turned into another impolite stare, awkwardly broken by the magician's crude command for assistance. The turn of the spiked, angry black mask this time regarded Edmund and the archer that was freshly struck by a healthy dosage of magical pain. Cuddles briefly politely tipped his head just as a gentleman should towards the direction of the dancer, before stepping briskly through the middle of raging fighting.<br/><br/>With the confidence that his new position would still keep the other, less armored (and smarter) members of Cecilia's entourage safe, Claire charged forward with the chauvinistic desire that the man of Astoria would be familiar with. Or maybe it's pride that their army has beautiful girls in it and the enemy doesn't. Perhaps he was just angry that this bum is endangering the rest of the party and is expecting him to clean up after him like a poodle.<br/><br/>Either way, Lord Attack Dog's lance followed with an unforgiving assault after Edmund's skillful work.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">Claire moves to F17 and attacks archer @ G17!<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">nerdy calculations</div><div class="spoiler_body"><tt class="bbc_tt">Battle Inventory:<br/>  Name            Rng  Atk  Hit  Eva  Crt  AS  Ql<br/> - Iron Lance      1   014  090  005  002  02  I forgot.<br/> - Vulnerary                                   03<br/> -<br/> -<br/> -<br/>Active Skills:<br/><strong>Renewal</strong> - Passive Effect / At the start of each Player turn, you regain HP equal to 1/10 of your Maximum HP.<br/><strong>Armoured</strong> - Passive Effect / Any attack that would only deal 1 through 5 damage, no matter the source, the damage is reduced to 0.<br/><strong>Hold The Line</strong> - Passive Effect / Whenever you attempt to hold a chokepoint, the character with this skill blocks off enemy movement through the space to their right and left.<br/><strong>Hold the ****ing Line!</strong> - Claire is a knight bent on dedicating the **** out of his life to defending a cause. / If the character is within 3 spaces of Allied Units, +2 Defense / Resistance<br/><strong>Stirring Blood</strong> - Unless the enemy is another chivalrous knight to duel sportingly with. / If the character is fighting [Knight] or their Promotions, +10 Critical<br/><strong>Portable Oven</strong> - Metal is an excellent conductor of heat.
