On the date of 8/13/173PC (Post Calamity) the cities of Ranland, Qine, and Jester will be entering into Marshal Law and will be under complete and total control of the Drecian government. From the previously mentioned date until a to be determined date, the citizens of Ranland, Qine and Jester will not be allowed to leave their homes except for dire emergencies. Requirements for this will be mailed to you shortly. Stay Safe and Live Strong.
After this announcement panic began in the University and the businesses surrounding it forcing Ryker and Hera to jump in and reassure the people.
Hera: Are you ready Sir Knight of the Wind, I hope you brought your charisma with you today.
Ryker: I wish I had talked to people more instead of being an introvert.
As the two of them calm the crowd Yasu and Yurie are going around the outside of Ranland preparing a barrier that had been put in place by the Grand Priests at the capital should something like this ever happen. As all of these events were unfolding Kiyoshi and the other Advanced level students at the academy were preparing for a serious battle with a monster only heard of in candle lit horror stories.
Ryker: Whatever you did Hera seems to have worked, I think you should go help Yasu with the barrier.
Hera: You sure you don't want me here? We'd make a killer combo if they attack the Eastern side of town first.
Ryker: They aren't here to destroy, they are here for a specific reason, whatever it may be.
Hera: How do we even know that they are gonna attack tomorrow?
Ryker: Call the Grand Priest of Shadow and he might tell you. Assuming you actually get through to him.
Hera: I'll tell Yurie to come here with you.
Ryker: No I've got this side, you guys just get the barrier ready.
Hera: Not happening Ryker, You can't fight them on your own and you know that. Besides, Yurie and I are great healers so it would only make sense that we have a healer in each group.
Ryker: Fine, but do it quickly, I don't want to get caught out in the open.
After Hera runs off towards Yurie and Yasu, Ryker heads up to the highest point in his area so he can see the whole Eastern side of town.
Emma: what do we do now Kiyoshi, we've prepped all of the university's defense points.
Kiyoshi: Does everyone who's Advanced in Fire or Water have a staff or some kind of magic caster?
Kelvin: Yeah, I made sure of that. We only had 2 staffs on campus so we gave them to the Fire magic teachers.
Kiyoshi: Make sure every teacher has a caster before any students get one. Move it!
Emma/Kelvin: Right.
Kiyoshi: I hope they get that barrier up in time.
