Do not approach the undead if you do not know how to fight them - these are more dangerous than the ones we have met before.

We need two groups. With me, trained fighters who are confident in decapitation.

With others, those that are trained enough that they can protect and move those of you who are not.

Do not take the undead lightly. Do not risk yourself needlessly. We have healers among us - seek them if you are wounded.

Who will come to hunt?

[Probably a little too enthusiastically:]

ME!!!

[jeoha]

[ With a slight tone of amusement to an otherwise flat voice: ]

I take it that your skill matches your enthusiasm?

[thehoneybadger]

I mean...you can ask the last few undead who came to rumble, but I doubt you'd get many answers from a bunch of broken bones and pulp.

[jeoha]

They tend not to make adequate witnesses in any case.

Do you have a weapon?

[thehoneybadger]

El made me some bladed brass knuckles. If you want to hook me up with a sword that'd be neat of you, but punching is what I do best.

[jeoha]

Mm.

The infected where I were from would take advantage of the close proximity to bite and spread the infection to you - whether they were destroyed in the act or not. We are fortunate that the undead here do not seem to share the same trait.

Still, a weapon to keep them at greater distance when required may benefit you. Have you used a sword before?

[thehoneybadger]

Not a whole lot, but I get the gist. Keep away from the pointy end.

[jeoha]

[ A pause. ]




Perhaps we should fashion you a spear.

[thehoneybadger]

That seems exponentially more complicated to use.

I can definitely use a sword. Scout's honor.

[jeoha]

It’s easier to keep away from the ‘pointy end’.

You were a scout?

[thehoneybadger]

Oh, yeah. Sold a lot of cookies in my day.

[jeoha]

Cookies?

[ He frowns at his bejewelled device, certain that it is translating wrong. What do cookies have to do with scouts?? (Forgive him he is a few hundred years behind the times.) ]

[thehoneybadger]

Yeah, I was a Girl Scout. Really hustled the Thin Mints.

...man. Now I want some of those. You got any idea where I can find some mint chocolate cookies around here?

[jeoha]

[ There is a long pause as he tries to parse any of this. ]

Perhaps you should ask Bai Mingyu. Or the man named Fox. I am afraid I am not acquainted with the cookies you seek.

[thehoneybadger]

Yeah, maybe. But they have no bearing on my ass-kicking ability, or the honor of my scoutinghood.

[jeoha]

Then I will accept your scoutinghood honour and await your martial prowess against our foe.
