Snippet #1368971

Surveying the dismal realm she turns away from it as the water comes to a boil. Severia kneels down and opens a dried satchel of cinnamon and dried apple slices, dropping it in the let it marinade. Something is wrong. Kujo sits up abruptly, hackles erecting along his spine as his ears go back and his tail stiffens. The buff hound begins to growl lowly, enticing the warrioress to stand and arm herself accordingly. With her shield still attached to her backside she holds her sword as she turns to face the din entering the cave. To inosculate with Kujo's bared teeth she grits her own at the threatening...Templar.

Severia has not had much of a chance to cross paths with Templars (such quixotic beings) nor the Chantry itself. Any time her family would go to visit the communal Chantry the young warrioress would oddly come up missing. That was then and this is now; right now this man could somehow know what she is and seek her head, he could be influenced by the Fade somehow or even a Blood Mage. Either way he has chosen to barrel in armed to the teeth and the young woman will not allow harm to befall herself, Kujo nor the piled belongings of her party members. She's been left to guard the castle and she'll do all in her power to preserve it. Any in her way be damned.

Emitting a violent cry she draws her shield up with a running start at the man. He's taller and obviously thicker in bulk but this does little to deter a Cousland. Accelerating past her the mabari lunges at the man and if his maw is successful he will clamp it around the Templar's sword arm. Severia drives her shield against the man's abdomen, trying to knock him back out in the rain to have an environmental advantage on her part. She'll need to keep this supposed enemy out of the party's territory and hope to the Maker that said party can arrive soon for reinforcement. For all Severia knows this is a wolf in sheep's clothing, a madman having slain a Templar and taken his armor. For what Templar would plunder so aggressively towards a woman and her dog?
