He stole a backward glance over his shoulder at the trembling image of Gwynn. She was afraid, that much was clear, but here she was still fighting. Here they all were, still fighting.</p>
<p>His head snapped back around to focus on the owl-bear, and suddenly the shield felt nearly weightless again. He raised it high above his head with his left arm and snapped it down, honing in again on the beak where he had struck before. He braced against the impact as the metallic clang resounded against the <i>clack</i> of the creature's beak straining beneath the force. Styvanus immediately followed with an uppercut from his off hand right under the owl-bear's gaping maw. Styvanus couldn't help but wince and wonder if the swing had hurt his knuckles more than it's target. Hopping back and landing on his heels, The Captain readied his shield. </p>

A smile crept upon the man's wind-kissed face and he patted Rasso on his equal-parts furry and spiny back as he made his way to the portal.<b>" I think he's warming up to us, Keep him company, we're right behind you."</b> He assured Rasso.</p>
<p>The Captain too took a step towards the portal before being halted by his fellow Knight-Captain. Gwynn's words were met with a a concerned look from Styvanus. <b>"Gwynn.."</b> He begins, his tone as soft as the snow flakes drifting in the air. Before he can formulate a response, he finds himself flanked by Marcellano, Fenyx, and Ordrud. Although he can see the merit in Gwynn wanting to tend to the villagers, he agrees overall with the trio's sentiment.</p>
<p><b>"Easy now killer,"</b> He begins at Marcellano.<b>" I'm not ready to give up command just yet...But we all have a role to play in this."</b> He states, his words directed at all who would listen.</p>
<p><b>" We all have a job to do. Every one of us here have been through enough hell for an entire tour but we aren't done, not by a long shot. Every man, woman, and child has a responsibility to step up and help one another get through this damnable cold. That's from Almas to us to every soul on Golarion!"</b> He snaps out the words, before his gaze turns soft and looks back to his fellow Andoran. <b>" You are strong enough."</b> He states assuredly.<b>"As are Dann and the survivors of Falcon's Hollow. Andoran was founded on the principles of Independence. We all must stand to our feet at times and when those at the lodge realize we won't be making an immediate round trip Dann will have the strength of will to lead the hike back to the ship."</b> He states, readying himself for whatever was on the other side of the portal.</p>
<p><b>" And Fenyx is right, the entire world is working to stop this thing, and we're a big part of that. We must stand together, or we'll fall separately."</b> He finishes, practically pleading with Gwynn. Swept up in the moment and the desperation of the environment, Captain Rozier pulled his fellow Captain into a tight embrace and firmly planted his lips upon hers. Despite the chill across their skin and the snow upon the land, there was a moment of blissful warmth in the kiss and Styvanus was happy to linger in that embrace for several all-too-brief moments. </p>
<p>Stepping back and regaining the posture of a Captain, he smiled knowingly.<b>"We can do this. We <i>must</i> do this."</b> The words resounded with a divine calm. </p>
<p>A moment later, The Captain had taken the step through the portal and was gone from sight.</p>"Teladon" Styvanus mouthed wordlessly as he met eyes with the elf who had been nameless to him as of yet.

The cold of the compacted snow beneath his body hadn't went away, but the Captain found a new-found warmth from remnants of the surge of energy that came before. </p>
<p><i>"Just another moment's rest."</i> he heard himself think, but the words were distant and small, as if the reflections of a fleeting memory. These were the same words he spoke to his father in the early hours of the dawn as a child, pleading for a momentary reprieve before the day full of soot and heat assisting his father at the smithy. </p>
<p>Time and time again his father would reply the same. <b>"Good men aren't born, they are made. And just like any thing else, they are made through hard work. And that's the price we'll have to pay to achieve that aim, same as any other.."</b> The words were louder than his first thought, and much to his surprise, he realized he had said his father's words aloud.</p>
<p>Styvanus laid in the snow and chuckled as Gwynn gave him an odd look at his declaration, and he rose swiftly to his feet to denounce any thinking that he was out of commission. His eyes dart around to take in the changes, the most notable of which are the Elf, and the creature that was his friend Rasso. <b>" On the contrary,"</b> The Captain begins with a smile. <b>" I've never felt better."</b></p>
<p>Indeed the Captain seemed to have a new-found radiance after being touched by the energy of the rider. He seemed to move almost with divine grace. <b>"I spoke with Talmandor."</b> He stated calmly, looking mostly towards Gwynn and Rasso. <b>" When whatever just happened...happened, he made himself known to me."</b> He could hardly contain the excitement in his voice, but he made every effort to maintain his composure.<b>" I'm not sure what it all means,"</b> He admitted reluctantly.<b>" But I know that he'll have an eye on our efforts."</b></p>
<p><b>"Is everyone alright?...What's our next step?"</b> He changes the subject, attempting to get the team on the right track.</p>Styvanus was indeed content to lay still for a moment.

<p>I believe that Rob did mention allowing close weapons to be used by the Brawler somewhere earlier in the thread.</p>
<p>I like the idea of the Paladin however, as Styvanus is morally righteous already. A vision from Talmandor seals the deal, and I would like him to head into the Steal Falcon PrC. The theme and flavor of it all is all too good to pass up.</p>
<p>And yeah, I'm stuck on marshall because Styv at his heart is a Captain. <span class=messageboard-ooc>Or <i>The Captain.</i></span> and abilities like Advance are such a perfect fit. Display of Charisma would be interesting for those moments when he absolutely <i>needs</i> to make a deal/ intimidate an opponent, that sort of thing.</p>

<p>Just having a really hard time deciding where to go with Styv. Parts of me want to rebuild him as a paladin, or I even considered a oracle of Battle. That would also give us a little more healing ability with cure spells. </p>
<p>Idk, I really want him to take the Marshall path.</p>
<p>If on the off chance I go with oracle of battle, Heirophant or a dual path with Marshall and Heirophant would likely be the best.</p>
<p>I also considered dual path Champion/Marshall, Eventually heading towards the Steel Falcon PrC...</p>
<p>Kicking around this idea of Styvanus having a vision/blessing of Talmondor in his transformation into a mythic character.</p>
<p>Any thoughts, comments? I could use some direction folks, haha.</p>
<p>—On top of all of that I'm in a similar situation to Rob's as far as work goes for this month. I take calls for a living and call volumes are through the roof for this month, so I'll be doing some overtime here and there and generally being more sapped of energy than usual when I do get manage to get home.</p>Still floating around here guys...

<p>As to Styv's orders, I'm thinking we'll descend into the valley to get a closer look at the portal. Admittedly I'm still not sure what we are going to do to actually <i>stop</i> the portal, but I guess we'll figure it out. I mean, <a href="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> <i>when all you have is a shield...</i></a></p>
<p>Any opinions to what our course of action should be guys?</p>

<p><b>"It's okay."</b> He says reassuringly, hearing the anxiety in Talavuc's admission of defeat.</p>
<p>He had half-expected to lose their guide from the onset, whether it was because of the fey's frailty or his predisposition to retreat, as such, he had taken time while they marched to take mental notes of their path thus far, and a perceptive eye noticed the signs of the eye of the storm ahead of them. </p>
<p>He turned and raised his arm straight in front of him, his pointer finger fully extended.<b>"This Way."</b> He instructed, hefting his pack and moving forward, expecting his team to fall in line.

The mastiff had fell and none of his companions had, it was a success. He nods to Talavuc.<b>"Ordrud and our Elven friend could use some tending to...I believe the rest of us made it out unscathed."</b> He directs the winter druid and turns to see his Andoran allies returning. He gives Rasso a warm smile<b>" Rasso we could hear those big teeth of yours chattering from a mile away, I'm just thankful you got 'em under control."</b> He gives his merman friend a playful jab to make sure he knows that the comment was lighthearted. </p>
<p>He steps in closer to Gwynn and places a hand on her shoulder.<b>"Chin up Captain, you've no reason to hang your head."</b> He locks eyes with her reassuringly before turning his attention to the rest of the group.</p>
<p><b>"Courage is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to perform one's duty in the face of that fear. Our enemy will attack us from every angle, including our minds. Be aware of this, know that you will be sure to face even more fearsome foes, but you will not stand alone."</b> He declares, hefting the spear in the air as a hurrah. </p>
<p>Two things still trouble him. He sees the rune-scarred dwarf go to work on the mastiff with his healer's tools, and he doesn't see Shor's guiding light amidst the high tree branches.

<p>Seconds later the gleaming tip of the cold iron spear emerges from the fog, followed closely by Styv's scowling face.
