(I know I said I wanted to wait until Mediocre got his post down, but it's been awhile so let's get the ball rolling and post in this order for the time being.)

Jester: Upon reaching the landing zone the man finds a small shallow crater in the grass. There are several bloodstains near the edge of the area of impact and a couple footprints that belong to a reptilian creature and a humanoid being, but they disappear into the grass. The footprints are pointing toward the forest.

A few wooden skeletal-like constructs with flat faces resembling heater shields, green gem eyes and melee weapons are trudging about, though they do not seem to mind the presence of the new arrival. The metal dragon continues to circle above with its band of escorts.

AngryLance: Nothing is coming Lance's way. Nothing he can see at least. The artificial dragon above continues to soar in place with its allies behind it.

Everyone: Ume helps the wounded Violet through the forest, trying to get as far away from the enemy as possible. The Order abandoned the town, and the Matriarchy may very well have been the cause of the evacuation.

"Man, I really should not have tried to show off up there," Violet moaned.

"My fault for egging you on," Ume whispers as her ears troop.

"Girl, never apologize for wanting to go extreme," Violet says with a half smile.

The two spot a man through the trees that is hiding behind some bushes.

"You think the constructs are hunting him too?" asks Violet.

"I don't know, but he may be able to help us," Ume suggests.

They both retract when they witness his right arm transform into something more macabre and Violet mutters, "Perhaps we should keep moving."

"Damn it. You're right, but we could risk running into more constructs, and you're in no position to fight right now," Ume replies.

Violet sighs and says, "Screw it. Let's go see him.  If he tries to harm us I at least I have enough strength to roast him."

The two approach the man as quietly as they can so as not to startle him. When they are close enough Ume asks, "Umm...sir?"
