Lin Xueqing
Spazmatism
Xueqing looks at Bright for a moment and silently moves in front of him.(Bright stands right beside Xueqing, a mix of wanting her to defend him and wanting to defend her.)
She's staring at Arentine.

He lazily extends a hand for head scritches.. such visible affection is.. odd. He’s not usually so keen on appearing friendly.She gets up and stretches, her long back arching up into the air, before scuttling closer to him and looking at the new arrivals warily.
“The surviving locals mentioned this place, and its residents, were suddenly obliterated.”Song...keeping an even expression, stands her ground in the face of Arentine, nodding slowly...
"...Do you know anything about these corpses as well, knight?”
“Didn’t I just tell you? Perhaps you weren’t paying attention. I’m simply here to look for anything I might bring back to my empire, when I inevitably return home.”"...And what are you doing here exactly?"
Xueqing is a bit worried about something.

“The surviving locals mentioned this place, and its residents, were suddenly obliterated.”
“I wish it was my doing, I really do.. but I’m afraid it isn’t. Your guess as to what decimated this town is as good as mine.”
“… though.. if we do find the perpetrator to be… exceptionally gifted.. I wouldn’t mind them being left to me. I’m sure I can handle it.”
“Didn’t I just tell you? Perhaps you weren’t paying attention. I’m simply here to look for anything I might bring back to my empire, when I inevitably return home.”
“Perhaps.. you all might know where some.. high value individuals.. reside.. hmm? Hmhmhm..”
His pupils are little more than dots, a wide, unsettling smile piercing his thin lips.
"Pretty sure that's kind of obvious."Whoever did it doesn't have good intentions.
Song...nods, expression remaining neutral.He lazily extends a hand for head scritches.. such visible affection is.. odd. He’s not usually so keen on appearing friendly.

The tyrant’s white eyebrows furrow, his grin slowly turning to a neutral frown.Xueqing takes a deep breath.
“So, the explosion is caused by external force.”
“I heard that the external force might be an empire.”
Judgy, the tall skeleton sans ripoff, is just standing beside her, as casual as possible.
“mind if i tell some extra? no? i think it may be caused by some pig humanoid.”
He does some quick math in his head, and then he begins to approach the chest, walking towards it while watching the skeletons to see if they move. (D20: 12)If you really want an answer... it's smaller than your average 2×1×1 (block) big chest, but rather a 0.6×size version of it.
Probably a trapped chest, though.
"..."The tyrant’s white eyebrows furrow, his grin slowly turning to a neutral frown.
“A ‘pig humanoid’. Might I ask where you pull this intuition from? I am rather curious as to the merit of your intel…”
“… if, however, you are correct.. I offer my aid. My conditions, however, are these.”
He raises a fist, flicking up his index finger.
“First, I am to land the killing blow.”
His middle finger flicks up to join it.
“Second, the corpse is mine to do with as I please.”
He raises his ring finger, tilting his head towards his hand, eyes narrowing ever-so-slightly.
“And third, you will question nothing.. simply remaining grateful for my help.”
He leans back a bit, crossing his arms now, a thin smile returning to his face.
“If you can’t allow me any of those.. you might as well walk away… and I hope we don’t come to impasse as to the fate of this culprit.. I don’t want any of you to get.. hurt. Hmhm..”
Xueqing remains cautious and silent.The tyrant’s white eyebrows furrow, his grin slowly turning to a neutral frown.

Nothing really happens, except that specific skeleton wakes up again, now walking to a spot, seemingly wanting to protect Birdius from something.He does some quick math in his head, and then he begins to approach the chest, walking towards it while watching the skeletons to see if they move.

Solian watches the skeleton, keeping a bit of distance.Nothing really happens, except that specific skeleton wakes up again, now walking to a spot, seemingly wanting to protect Birdius from something.
He claps his hands in a small motion, his grin widening as his eyes shut gleefully.Xueqing remains cautious and silent.
After a bit…
“…I guess.”
“*gasp-* !!!”He claps his hands in a small motion, his grin widening as his eyes shut gleefully.
“Excellent! There’s just one more thing - ”
He slowly starts undoing his utility belt, shoulder sling, and back holster, his various weapons clattering loudly to the ground.
He bends his knees, wind whirling around him as he rolls his neck, it cracks loudly..
And suddenly, he’s gone, the ground around where he once stood fluttering at a sudden burst of wind…
… he’s in the air, falling fast, a gauntlet-covered fist punching down at Lin as he falls. (10)
“-To see if you’re even worth my time!”

Song...immediately jumps back to put some distance between herself and Arentine, a bit shook by the sudden attack.“*gasp-* !!!”
[19, hell]
With a swift motion, Xueqing slides by the falling attack.
“Oh god why are we picking up a fight now”
MISS
The text, Deltarune flavored, pops out from her. She is conscious of that.
<Okay, what the hell now?!>

He lands with a boom, the ground around him kicking up slightly as winds die down around him. Righting himself, he nods.Song...immediately jumps back to put some distance between herself and Arentine, a bit shook by the sudden attack.
Fragment responds to this by summoning both of their knives.“What, are the rest of you going to stand there and gawk?”
Song, absolutely not expecting a cyclone from behind, gets blown forward and right into the armbar.He lands with a boom, the ground around him kicking up slightly as winds die down around him. Righting himself, he nods.
“Agile, very agile.. good!”
“Now then..”
He raises a hand towards Song, yanking his fingers towards himself through the air.
A potent cyclone blasts from behind her, trying to thrust her forwards into Arentine’s now-extended arm.. an exceedingly brutal armbar to the head, if it hits. (12)
