Calliope felt proud at the compliment and watched what the other said before following him. The Druid trailed along a bit behind leaving the quest itself to the other two.Seeing the horrible scene calliope felt a rage towards the bandit wanting to protect the family. She watched what more sarne said before seeing him gallop ahead . (1)The soil under her feet seemed to soften and become almost like a wave helping rush her towards the scene.(2) Once close enough the soil seemingly flung her into the air. With that she looked to the nearest bandit and slammed her guantlets together causing them to be set ablaze. With that she came down on the closest bandit punching them and leaving a burn before she landed on the ground. Heat enveloped the area around calliope between her gauntlets and cloak. Her eyes were focused as she lowered into a defensive stance for anyone who tried to get in range, her tail lashing before wrapping close to her body

The Druid watched the two leaving the combat to them. (A) instead she summoned a seedling to help free and heal the family for now. Most in the village were peaceful after all.

1. Soil Surfing (Reflavored)
          This spell lets you sink beneath the earth, morphing into the ground like you are apart of it. You can sit beneath the earth in a small pocket, or even tunnel through it like a mole. You can not move through stone or man made material, but can move through natural earth or soil.
2.Spit Fire Gauntlets(Armor)
         A pair of lightweight gauntlets that seem normal on the outside. Made of light metal, the gauntlets cover the hands and forearms and have designs of flames etched into them. These gauntlets count as normal gauntlets from the armor shop and have the same properties. However the owner can slap the gauntlets together to cause flames to spread forth from the palms and coat the gauntlets in fire. This turns any offensive strikes with the gloves into fire damage.
        
Passives:
1. Heat Cloak
        The users skin becomes warm, giving off an immense amount of heat. The heat will radiate off of you and effect anyone who comes within melee range. The heat burns and is unbearable enough to push enemies away, making it hard for them to breath.

-Deals fire damage-
 
2.Flower Crown
         A delicate crown of flora laced with an arcane glow; this flower crown has been lovingly crafted— whether by you, a friend, or an arcane weaver. This beautiful crown of blooming flowers and twisting ivy will dis-spell mind-altering effects and wards when worn; it can deflect or dis-spell one mind-altering effect per thread.

Druid:
A. Summon: Seedling
           You summon a small seedling that sprouts up on your shoulder or the shoulder of an alley. This seedling will just hang out attached to the target and will heal the person it is attached to for the duration. The seedling will only heal surface wounds such as scratches, cuts or bruises and will only do it once per post. The seedling will vanish if it takes damage.

Sarne pressed on the unicorn and ran over the man on the ground. The snapping of bone was heard as the unicorn stepped on the man. Sarne rushed forward and left the bandit lying in the dirt the bandit's body broken and bleeding. Sarne had little sympathy for the bandit now the man was going to die.

Sarne started to chase the bandits running away. Sarne thought this would be no problem to take them down. Sarne knew something was coming at him. Sarne raised his shield as a crossbow bolt hit the shield. The bolt hit hard and the point stuck out on his side of the shield. then two more crossbow bolts hit Sarne both hitting armor one in the shoulder and one in the chest. He was being ambushed he let his guard slip watching the bandits on horses get away.

Sarne rolled off the back of his unicorn landing on his feet. [1] Sarne rushed forward at one of the men with a crossbow. The man's eyes widened when he realized that he could not reload his crossbow. Sarne moved at inhuman speeds as he just appeared in front of the man and smashed into him with his shield. the spikes on the shield ripped through the bandit tearing into the bandit's chest and sending him flying.

the other Bandits saw this they all started to run in different directions sarne watched for a moment then turned back to the woman walking over to her and asking if she was alright. [2] Sarne put his hand out and touched her arm. she had a gold hue over her for a moment. "thank you my lord" she said with tiers.

I turned in the Knights of Duros for Sarne at this time but will continue for the other person to help me close this out.this was approved by @lynnasaurus

Calliope Watched as a few bandits ran at her, she punched with the gauntlets send fire crashing into the men who tried to touch her. Her movements then turned to a graceful dance more expected of a druid as fallen petals and leaves began to dance around her and others were plucked from trees and flowers to join the dance. The fire from her gauntlets seemed to flow with the movements as the leaves and petals cut anyone who got too close to her, This gave her a moment to survey the opponents around her and with that in mind she attacked with the gauntlets once again It was certainly no easy feat keeping tabs on the dangers around herself when she couldn't hear them but there were slight vibrations in the ground when they move if she took a moment to stan still. She focused on that and kept her head on a swivel to make sure she wouldn't be surprised by any attacks.

The druid with her kept some others at bay by subduing them with vines and such.She mainly stayed out of the majority of the combat but did what she could without causing too much damage or injury.

Sarne just raised a hand, waving off the thank-you. "It is not needed. It is my duty," replied Sarne with a smile. "Get to your house. We will deal with the rest of the bandits," Said Sarne, looking around. He sheathed his sword and put his shield on his back. It was time to put others' skills to work. He had been training with the bow; now was a good time to try it. Sarne pulled his bow off his back. A long golden bow with ornate lacing is adorned with a string of a silver cord.

Sarne looked at where Calliope was. A swirl of leaves flowed around her at hit speed, pushing the bandits around her back. The flame from her gauntlets was flowing with her. Sarne cracked a smile. Nice, I have to get myself a pair of thought Sarne. [1] He readied five arrows. Lifting the bow, Sarne started firing the arrows with master accuracy. Arrows began to strike the men surrounding Calliope. Sarne put two arrows in each missing one, with the last one as the man fell, and the arrow whizzed by the bandit.

The men screamed in pain. One fell into the path of the blowing leaves. The leaves cut up his clothing, making minor cuts across his skin. The other bandits were grunting and yelling in pain as the arrows were sticking out of them. Sarne winced as blood started to leak from their wounds.



[1] Volley Shot 1 of 2

Calliope took that moment to use her gauntlets once more punching the last one to the ground, the fire swirling around her fists as the man was thrown back, a scorch mark on his chest from where the gauntlet hit and burned. Seeing they were all down she stopped the leaves and let her gauntlets cool making sure the druid was okay and then looking to sarne hoping she had done alright. She had never had a real fight against other humanoids before. It was really only training. But she was happy to have held her own. She just hoped it was enough to be impressive and prove herself capable. She wanted nothing more than to be a knight and even if it was just a ticket to the academy or a low position she would do whatever she could to work her way towards becoming a true knight. She tried to stand tall, her chest puffed out a little as she waited to hear from the knight. She tried to mimic how she would see knights standing at attention when waiting for orders and such. The druid walked over to make sure they were alright and to make sure none of the men tried anything further

Sarne walked over to Calliope, looking at the guys on the ground. He made sure Calliope was looking at him, and he grinned. "Good work, Calliope. You are on your way now to becoming a knight. Let us clean up this mess so we can help others in this area. Some of the Bandits got away. It bothers me that there is so much activity with bandits. It was never this bad when my Grandfather was in charge," Sarne said, looking bothered by it all.

Without warning, suddenly, three adventures appeared. A ragged-looking Hooded Dwarf carrying two axes, a tall woman with a sword, and a Tall man with a bow. "My Lord, I see you did not wait for us," says the Dwarf with a grin. The Dwarf walks over to one of the guys and kicks one of the bandits. Who moans in pain.

Sarne motions to the three, "This is Nordic, Naesala, and Vamir. Nordic is my Deputy, Naesala is my Minister of Information, and Vamir is my scout. They are my subordinates," explains Sarne to Calliope looking now at the four. Sarne nods to his subordinates, who tie up and gather the Bandits together.

Sarne turned back to Calliope. "I would like to thank you for your aid, Calliope. Without you, this would have been a lot harder. Any time you want training come and find me." Sarne said with a warm smile and a nod.

Calliope looked up at the knight and read his lips before beaming happily up at him as she watched what he said.calliope then tilted her head in curiosity at the new comers. Their body language seemed to indicate knowing the knight though so she didn’t mind their company.she then turned back to sarne to see what he would say after gesturing to the. She then nodded and wrote happily “nice to meet you all! I’m calliope!”she showed the board before seeing what was said next feeling a swell of pride and happiness as she nodded and wrote again “I would love to sir thank you!” She showed it smiling. She was on her way towards her dream finally. Her initiation was complete. She could hardly believe it as her tail swayed happily behind her. She was sure that she would remember this day for the rest of her life. She would be a knight and help those around her. She could even hold her own in a fight. She looked to the Druid smiling happily and signing as the Druid nodded with a smile and signed back some. The Druid then looked to sarne “we shall walk with you back to the town”
