Marika reaches into her bag, and pulls out a small pistol. "I was trained at the Britannian military academy. I know how to fight. And I can support you with the art of warsong."

"Oh, you know of Warsong? That is good to know... you can definitely be useful in a fight. Alright then. Besides, I'm sure you and Piplup can help each other if the need arise. Right Piplup?", Lacus asked, visibly eager to get this started. "Come on then, let's find some of these ruffians." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If the others are ready to follow, I will simply walk around town, looking for thugs causing trouble.
8 stones into Thieving (Search areas) to look for said thugs.

"Piplup!" It cheers jumping to the ground, and waddling around with you.
You soon find 4 armed thugs roughing up a couple of homeless. "Get outa here! You stinkin' bums are driving down property values!"

"While YOU people are such a welcome addition to the local 'friendly neighborhood' reputation, I'm sure", Lacus said out loud, irked by the men's actions. She had originally wanted to avoid resorting to hostility, but their thuggish ways, and Zeref's anger within her, were making it hard to control herself. Still, she took a deep breath, and said: "...Perhaps you could consider building a refuge for the homeless and raising funds for them instead of wasting your honor and value as men on preying upon the weak and the poor? Doing so could create jobs in the area if done properly, and might even lead to a rise in those very values you were talking about... on top of you people making something useful of your lives rather than bullying others. Why not give it some thought?"
She stared them down, trying to not resort to threats or insults. With some luck, those guys were capable of understanding other languages than this primitive bully attitude. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6 stones into Statecraft (Etiquette, Diplomacy, Resolute) plus 3 from Attractive to try and get them to reconsider their actions.
9 stones (Ef.) into Close Combat (Hand-to-hand, Self defense) all into defense in the likely case they don't take kindly to my meddling.

"Oh be quiet you damn hippie." One of the thugs yells swinging a tire iron at you you narrowly side step.
Marika starts singing a song, as Piplup starts blasting bubbles at the thugs. You feel the energy making you quicker swifter, your reaction time decreasing to near instants.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. They always choose violence. Why?... Are you so eager to throw your life away, to let it flicker away with the wind..."
She said with a wicked smile, as she grabbed hold of the man's tire iron... and reduced it to mere dust in an instant with her Death Magic.
"...like just as much dust?", she asked intimidatingly, glaring at the man and his companions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start H: 7/7 P.L: 4/4 E: 35/35 P.L: 12/12
2 stone into PL for two additional actions;
10 stones (Ef.) into Close Combat (Hand-to-hand, Military Training) to grab a hold of the man's tire iron;
1 stone into Death Magic (Dust to Dust) plus 5 from Legendary Wizard, all into an Atk VS item's Weight to disintegrate it into dust under the man's eyes.
6 stones into Statecraft (Resolute, Intimidate, Dark Mage) plus 5 from Disquieting, all 11 stones into scaring the living hell out of those guys with my little demonstration of magic.
7 stones into Acrobatics, all into defense.
End E: 18/35 P.L: 6/12 Defense: 22 (7 Ref.Dodge, 7 Toughness [No AP, No 2x damage], 1 Power Level, 7 actions) Mental Defense: 14 (7 Intelligence, 7 Mental Defense) Magical Defense +10 Ki Defense +5

Seeing the display of power from you the thugs quickly panic and take off into a retreat.
"Piplup!" It cheers dancing around you and Marika happily at your victory.

"Hm. We scared them this time, true, but this town could use a more permanent defender. I'm considering using a spell to make it safer."
She walked towards the couple of homeless:
"Are you alright...?"

"Yeah... Thanks a lot Miss."
"You're a Godsend." They say walking off.

"Wait... I'd like to ask you a couple of questions, if you don't mind", Lacus asked the two. "It's important, and I won't take much of your time, I promise..."
If they accepted, she said:
"I find it highly unlikely that those thugs would be harassing the homeless on their own in regard to property value. Someone is pulling their strings... would you know who, by any chance?"
She then went on to ask afterwards: "As for my second question... I can and wish to create a guardian spirit, a mystical creature whose purpose will be protecting you and other homeless from such abusive and aggressive behavior, in my absence. Because... Godsend or not, I can't stay for a long time, I fear. My path knows no end, at the time. At any rate... I was wondering if you wanted it to have a particular shape or appearance, and if you was in any position to pass the knowledge around to others who might be suffering from the same bullying as you were, if only for them not to be terrified by or fear the guardian's appearance." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5 stones into Statecraft (Noble, Diplomacy) plus 3 from Attractive, into asking the two if they can tell me more about the intelligence behind those thugs, as well as ask them if they would like their guardian spirit to look like something in particular... and if they could tell other homeless folks about it so that they are not scared if it appears to protect them.

"I dunno... Probably some rich real estate guy, or someone in political power."
"I guess, maybe some sort of big dog. And yeah, I could let people know."

"Very well", Lacus said. "In that case, I repeat, do not be afraid. It will look scary, but that is mostly to intimidate your tormentors. I will make it appear less scary to you and the innocents."
She reached for a nearby rock, and used a powerful spell of Living Magic on it, to transform it into the Black Dog Guardian she had in mind. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 15 stones (Ef.) into Living Magic to create the Black Dog Guardian spirit from a simple rock.

You slowly manage to warp the rock from a non-living form to a large black dog.

"He's actually a big fluffy puppy when he's not busy punishing villains", Lacus said, petting the creature like it was... not a huge nearly 6' high ghost-like pure shadow dog. "He will be hanging around the woods when not needed, doing... dog things. Sleeping, eating, running, etc. If those men or others like them cause trouble again, the Guardian will know. And it will return. With it will come a thick mist through which only the homeless and the innocents can see. Do not fear the mist, but be sure to let your tormentors know to fear it", she concluded with a smile.
"Any questions?"

"alright sure... Thank you miss." The homeless men say nervously as they back away from you.
