Kiada was ready. Oliver had chosen his position. That left Jigano on flag defense and he pondered for a moment as he took the red scrap of fabric and jogged back along his team's side until he was out of sight of the Blue Team.
With a grin he set to work constructing a rough box shape from slabs of earth, using his magic to push it together. Within the box a red flower grew, a large silky petal just visible through the cracks in the construction. The bard hurried to grow a barrier of thorny vines around it in the shape of a loose cage, finishing it just as the time ran out. He shifted into his snake form, tucking the flag firmly between his coils as he settled in to wait in a patch of tall grass, pale body motionless as he watched with unblinking eyes to see who (or what) would come to take the bait.
Jigano constructs a false flag-safe with earth magic, something red and silky just barely visible within the loose earthen box (roughly the size of a microwave), which is in turn surrounded by a messy cage of thorned vines. He then takes the flag and tucks it into his coils, hidden from sight as he shifts to a snake form and curls up in a patch of tall grass to watch over the bait.
