Welcome to Gaia! ::

Leaning agenst the gate. Looking to Antigon when she spoke. "Hes looking out for any body. I dont like this how ever. If an assassin would need to kill somebody. Why move in a large group. Its much easyer for one person to move by them selfs." He was no assassin but this was not a normal play by any means. Dalamar hoped that the others inside the garden could keep security tight.

Taking mental notes of Shiro's skills. He had to agree on what was said before hand. Waiting a bit he would stop leaning on the fence. Standing streight before kicking some sand. "My weapons are two large caliber revovlers and a galbadian style sword. I am best at fighting humanoids over monsters at both close range and long range. Magic is real limited to me. I have the common Scan, some what rare Haste and the hard to find Reflect at my disposal. If I can avoid using Refect. I do not cast it." It was true. Dalamar had a harder time fighting just big bugs over soldiers. Something he could improve with time but wouldn't change over night. Looking to the only girl in the team. He hoped she could off set the skills that he and Shiro had.

Dalamar 'forgot' to mention his GF in his discription. The way he looked at it. Unless he was in a situation where things were going south. It would be pointless to use. Nor would Ark allow it to be used on just weaklings. With them all discribed as physical fighters for the most part. Plus side was Antigon had elemental magic. "Good thing you can cure. We might need that with our set up." Smiling abit he would lean back agenst the gate. "So Shiro whats the plan man?"

(sorry, no text effects, doin this on my phone.)

"The plan? Well lets see. Two close combat fighters and one close and long range fighter. Based on the terrain Dalmar would almost be a sitting duck if he was shooting. And if he were to pick a spot behind one of these bigger rocks...the soldiers would try to find cover quick..." Shiro stopped to think about it for a moment, how could he use this? He eyes the terrain once more, mostly open space except for the natural cover which was few and far between. "Oh, that'll work nicely. Ok, Antigone, you and I are gonna do pincer style attack. They will probably hit the the beach there as it is closest to Garden." he said pointing a section of the beech that came in a bit further than the rest. "The two closest bits of cover are that over turned row boat a few meter from the shore and that big rock that's a bit farther. They're far enough a part to crwat a sort of middle passage. Now way back here is this big old rock formation, provides nice shading right? Dalmar you will wait here hiding and shoot once they have hit the beach. The soldiers will split immediately, hopefully heading for the boat and rock for cover. Antigone and myself will be hiding behind these and take out as many as we can before they figure out the cover is really a trap. At which point well most likely get surrounded and have to fight them off. Dalmar you can keep shooting for a bit if you think you an take them out from there, or rush in during the confusion and try to back us up in an all out brawl. The distance you'll have to cover from here to the shore isn't small though, they probably will see you coming to us and attack. What you do whether it's rush in or continue covering with your bullets I will leave to your judgement. If all goes well the soldiers will be delt with quickly and the assassin will be left alone for a three pronged attack. At this point it's a battle to the death, don't hesitate to kill because the assassin sure as hell won't. The strategy for the assassin will become more specific once we start fighting, that one will mostly be on the fly. Dalmar if you can cap the assassin in the head with the first few shots then do it. Any questions?" Shiro asked finally, taking a deep breath after explaining everything.

((still phoning it in....lol))

Shiro was waiting for his team to reply, wanting to get into position as soon as they could. It was a good plan right? A nice ambush with a trap to help spring it. Sure there was an element of danger on it and it wasn't much better than charging in guns a blazin' but it was the best he could come up with and it should work alright. He just hoped the others liked it, because even though he had last say in the matter a plan was more likely to fail if the team wasn't behind it all the way. Unfortunately there was no more time for that it seemed, as Shiro picked up on a flare of mal intent. His battle sense took over as he spun around quickly. "SCATTER!" Shiro managed to call out as he brought his arms up, using the hard steel plates on his arms to block the attacker's blades. "These aren't the armed forces we were expecting...scouts?"

Getting slightly set back by the thunder, the ninja focused his first attack on Antigone. Running towards her at a high speed, blades ready.
The girl casting aero in the direction of Shiro, which burst in a whirlwind of sand, and protect over her attacking partner only to start casting again.

In the distance a small boat was crashing onto the beach with what seemed like the figures of three.
