DEIMOS
The sound of iron shots is stuck in my head
The thunder of the drums dictates
The thunder of the drums dictates
Another day, another training measure, but this time the Sword had moved it out of the Citadel and towards Whitebrim – using what tactics, territory, and terrain they had to further establish some necessary, but meaningful skills.
Long before the others were summoned to the boundaries, the General had grown or created obstacles of brush, bushes, or utilized the current landscape of broken or abandoned (and more than eerie) homes to his advantage. They’d be a tool, system, or scheme for cover, diversions, or schemes for teams to make use of when the time was right.
And on top of three houses were distinct outliers: flags, one to the north (blue), one to the south (red), and one to the west (green).
Once his soldiers, Cordelia, Sah, and Talyson had all shuffled in, he pinpointed his attention entirely on them, thoroughly done messing with the backdrop for the moment. “You are here to learn how to function as a team. Each will have three members. You will assist one another in trying to obtain an opposite team’s flag.” Ideally, by the end, each might have one – but Deimos knew better. “You may use any skills you have – including magic, weapons, attuned bonds, companions, and so on.” A pause, a lull, a slight smirk indenting his features. “However, if you are hit, you are automatically out.” Thereafter, he pointed towards the only direction without a flag – an old lean-to towards the east. “You will stay there, until a teammate decides to rescue you.”
Taking another breath, he pulled out a list, and read off the teams, including the flag color. “Let me know if you have any questions. I will give you a few moments to strategize and set yourselves up.”

Teams:
Team Blue:
Deimos
Cordelia
Tuck (NPC – Attuned – Happy, bubbly lad but tends to lack focus – only shift is a mouse)
Team Red:
Sah
Talyson
Amelia (NPC – Abandoned – Argumentative, likes to be the boss – only magic is basic water)
Team Green:
Todd (NPC – Accepted – Class clown – favored weapon is the bow)
Archie (NPC – Abandoned – Always right even when he’s wrong – only magic is basic earth)
Dorothy (NPC – Attuned – Meek, rarely voices opinion – only shift is a songbird)
For this round, your characters may strategize with one another and set up their initial positions. Please keep in mind that you may control your NPCs, but remember their baseline tendencies, personalities, and capabilities. These will come into effect in dice rolls. You’ve been voluntold (except for you Cordelia ;D) to be in this PQ because of your character’s actions previously, so one would hope you use this for growth/character development.
List your actions at the bottom of your posts, please!

The rising of the horns, ahead
