The guards quickly followed, some propelling themselves onto the rooftops with grappling hooks, and others chasing on foot. The falcon flew overhead, being sure to be high enough to be out of range of any projectile, but still within eyesight. The falcon had a reflective collar, so it easily caught the light. So long as the guards on the ground kept eyes on the falcon's light, the falcon would lead them to the criminals. It was a clever system, and one that had worked time and time again. Nonetheless, the guards were careful, spreading out and following on foot. They knew the city, and knew where criminals tried to hide. Few had managed to escape from New Hallandren guards, and for good reason. The guards largely ignored Altin, but a few guards stayed in the area. "state your name and intent!" one of them yelled, a bit to harshly. They didn't look like they wanted a fight, but they certainly seemed ready for one. @BridgeBoi

None of the guards engaged, but none of them backed down. While Fenna’s back was turned, a guard discreetly shot a tranquilizer dart from a blow pipe. The grenade went off, causing a moment of distraction behind the guards. A few, however, aimed upwards and fired hand crossbows at Leon, awakened to increase their accuracy. @BridgeBoi

Well the real question is how y’all will escape this one. One option is just that you don’t, and get taken off to jail, but rn I’m seeing the options being really jail, escaping the district, or being hunted down inside the district. It’s y’all’s call on what direction that will go, as I am trying my darndest to not restrict your options. But at this point it’s not something that you can easily walk out of.

One of the guards stumbled, getting shot in the side. Collapsing on the floor, they were alive, for now. The one remaining guard, eyes wide, turned and fled. At that moment, a group of 15 guards emerged from all directions. Some held the standard spear and rope, while others held their own weapons, from swords to shields and even a poleaxe. Among them was a Lifeless bear, clearly ready to fight. On one of their shoulders, a falcon was perched, the same one as before. Among the guard was also the guard who had retreated previously. A megaphone system sounded. “In the name of the New Hallandren Security Force, stand down. We have you surrounded.” @TwinStorm @BridgeBoi

The ropes bounced off of the spear, now too tattered to properly follow the command. The guards, falling back into their training, began thrusting their spears in unison, working together to cover each other's weak spots, both holding their spears in both hands.

The guard blocked the thrown knife with their bracer, then went to stab Leon's chest. The rope split in half, but each piece continued to work with its command. They each wrapped around Fenna, attempting to bind her arms together. The second guard, seeing the newcomer, retreated further, staying out of their way. The other guard soon followed suit. They didn't like a citizen getting involved, but at this point, they weren't in a position to complain. @BridgeBoi

The two guards went into defensive positions, defending each other with their spears. One of them threw their rope at Leon, not holding on to the end, and instead changing to fight with their spear. The other held onto their rope, dual weilding it with the spear, held halfway up the shaft. Both seemed out of their element, and visibly concerned about their chances.

I believe this is good! Approved.

The guard went tumbling away, his coat taking the brunt of the hit. However, there was a snap as bones broke. The sound of the gunshot reverberated throughout the area. Guns were strictly prohibited, and hearing a gunshot inside the district was incredibly rare. Most people had cleared away from the street as soon as the guards arrived, but all the remaining civilians ran at the sound of gunshots. The other guard took the bullet to the head, being unable to react in time. He fell to the ground, blood seeping out of the wound, his eyes staring lifelessly ahead. One guard turned to run, attempting to hide in the maze of houses that lined the street. The other two backed away, not wanting to disengage, but knowing that they couldn’t fight them alone.

The guards fell back, bracers and coats protecting them. A rope snapped, but the guards were otherwise unharmed. They did, however, stop their pursuit.

The rope bent around the coin, but failed to wrap around it. The guard pulled on the rope, disengaging it. He redirected it towards where the coinshot pushed himself. The hawk flew off, away from the fight. The other guards swiftly moved towards the intruder, some with spears in both hands, others with ropes at the ready, blades out.

Two of the guards launched their awakened rope at Leon, holding the side with the knife. The ropes were instructed to entangle whatever it comes in touch with until unawakened. The guards looked grim, but were clearly itching for a fight.

One guard, who was already clutching their rope, unfurled it. "Leave this district, or you will be detained."

New Hallandren, Charcoal Road A group of New Hallandren guards quickly surrounded the coinshot. A lifeless hawk perched on the shoulder of one of them, with others brandishing spears at the intruder. Each wore a standard issued uniform, an awakened coat with aluminum bracers. A rope was tied to the side of the uniform, with a blade on the end. As per New Hallandren standard, they wore a colored handkerchief to denote their rank. "Halt! This district is under lockdown. State your name and intention, or we will be obligated to use force."

I’m not the right person to ask about that. Though it is worth noting that the district is currently in lockdown, which means unless you have a good reason to get in, the New Hallandren guards will not let you in…unless you manage to sneak past them. Assume they’re all awakeners and at least semi competent. You can also lie or bluff your way in, if your character is good at that.

Venser, The Corridor, The Silver Dagger Venser chuckled, his eyebrows bobbing subtly with his laughter. "A direct one! Metal vials, coming up." Venser made sure to stock just about everything within the customer's reach, but given that allomancers were his main customers, he made sure that he had to grab them himself. "While I get them, feel free to look around! I'm sure there's something that catches your fancy." Without glancing at the customer, he went into the back room to grab the vials.

btw y'all: I am going through the forum for things to update for the current era. This will take a while, but I do plan on working on it. From what I see, this is the list of things to update Era 7 plot thread, just so that people can have an easy rundown on what happened in the previous era. Updating the worldbuilding and etiquette guide, mostly to give it a once over to see if something needs expanding on and to update the districts and specific locations Era 8 character thread--create a list of all of the approved characters and who they belong to NPC thread-less important, but adding my recurring NPCs and possibly adding some NPCs for this era anything I missed?

honestly autocorrecting Altin to Allomantic tin is hilarious. With those name tweaks, you're good to go! Approved!
