Thanatos leveled his hand at a group of riders. The fires shot up around them, burning horse and man alike. The horses reared up, throwing their riders. The riders were trampled, their legs audibly breaking. Thanatos then brought his arms up in a large sweeping motion as the air heated up to the point were sweat was pouring down like the rain. Now, all the rain was evaporated. It was nearly impossible to see anything through the smoke.

Xero, we're not strong enough to do spells of that magnitude, tone it down a bit.
"I hate these battles!" Misa grunts, sidestepping another bolt, "I can't get close enough to do anything!"

Broken Orange, no we're fighting it out before moving on. Having the carriage go off without us would be dangerous.

Taking cover behind the carriage, Cygnus finished reloading. Judging from the speed and arrows... There's only one archer, light crossbow. He mentally prepared before leaving his cover and taking the shot. Please let me be right on this. He fired a shot and watched it pierce his target's arm. Not fatal, but that'll stop the arrows anyway. That only leaves us two threats

The other two were getting near the carriage now, weapons raised.

Cygnus looked at his crossbow. There's no way I can reload this thing in time. Damnit!

Before the two warriors could reach Cygnus, Jarod let loose 4 bolts, two in each chest. Jarod then got up, with his Repeater on his shoulder, said "Looks like that is all of them. Should we see what our wounded friend over there has to say once we are done with the others?

Kylar continued sorting through the images in his head making sense of it as best he could. Sighing heavily, he spoke to Aurelius, "The townspeople have no idea about the princess. To each of them we are strangers and are enemies to them. They want to keep things as they are where they control everything and they believe we will change things."

Catching his breath he continued, "They don't care who we are and they will attack us on site like they did to you and Trent. I would imagine the others are going to be watched the second they get into to town. I think we should be prepared for a riot."

"Or how about we just kill him?" Misa growls.

"The other three are still out there...we don't want him giving away our position by screaming or something while we find out things do we?" she asks Jarod.

given the impression that only two were left. Going to change it so it would make more sense. Think you could edit the first post so that my sheet is in there and slash out Sparrow's?
We need to find out if they are just bandits, or if they are something worst. Can't interrogate a corpse, can we?

violent these Golems. Kill first, ask questions never.

In thought, Jarod then saw two bandits coming up behind Misa. Jarod then yelled at her, "Behind you!" Jarod managed to lift his Repeater up and fire a bolt into one's head, but couldn't fire at the second one, for Misa being in the way.

HAHAHA! Ah, that avi almost beats the Twilight one Orange

Grace fired a ray of ice at the other bandit after being alerted by Jarod's shout. The ice quickly encased the outlaw's head in a block. He fell to the ground, gasping for air, scratching at his frozen prison.

"What a blockhead!" she said, knowing how bad of a pun that was.

What are you talking about? I really love the Jonas Brothers
/sarcasm

Nice shot Gracie! Misa, see if you can keep this one alive.

Now, where is that last bandit?

"If you've left any to be rioters..." The statement reflected just the slightest bit of sarcasm. "I worry that the integrity of the structure in which Her Highness is meant to give her speech has been compromised. Shall we investigate, Kylar?"

"Yeah, it will keep us busy until the others arrive at least. Where do you want to start then?" Kylar said, choosing to ignore the sarcasm Aurellius used to describe his actions.

He showed him the sketch he'd found in that building--damn, he'd completely forgotten the place'd been set aflame--that depicted the Town Hall, in addition to lines and squiggles that may or may not indicate traps, or perhaps defenses.

"And I think we'd best be quick about it."

Kylar glanced at the sketch with ruined vigor, noting how it seemed like a plan of attack for the speech the princess was giving. "Come on then, we only have a few hours before the rest of the order shows up."

Cygnus wiped the blood spatter off of his face. "That was close." I hate admitting it, but that repeater does seem useful. He managed a nod towards Jarod. "Nice shooting" he said absentmindedly.

This has been going on for long enough.
Cygnus slipped back into focus, as the whole situation slowly slipped back into position. The smell of the blood around him almost overwhelmed him at first, but he pushed it away. The area was his terrain now, he could feel everything. He readied his crossbow, took a step towards the carriage and saw the bandit, just outside the view of the others. Looks like they've got one with brains after all... Cygnus thought to himself as he pulled the trigger. Shame they're all over the place now.

The world was back in it's dull state and Cygnus was left feeling disoriented. He stumbled his way to the carriage and climbed on top of it. He gave the injured archer he had short earlier a quick mercy shot before sitting down. He hated leaving things undone. "I doubt they'd have things to say, if they knew who we were, they would have gone for the carriage instead. We've wasted enough of the Princess's time anyway. Let's move on."

I need to plan things better from now. That shot nearly got me, that was bad enough. Those two muscle-brained grunts nearly chopping me down to size though... That was terrible. Good thing these people proved themselves better than I did.

Cygnus smiled to himself. I might actually start trusting these people.

Misa watches the last of the bandits suffocate under the block of ice.

"I agree with Cygnus, this wasn't a planned assault...just some bandits after an easy hit," she shrugs, cracking the ice with her hammer.

The group continue to move through the forest, a few wild wolves sniffing around the group, but no considerable threats rear their heads again.

The town of Easterbank rises on the horizon, relatively small and desolate compared to it's surroundings. A smoke plume rises from a part of the village.


"Looks we're here...where the hell are the guerillas then?" Misa wonders out loud, still keeping level with carriage.

"Wherever they are, I hope it has nothing to do with that smoke..." Cygnus said as he used his crossbow's scope to zoom in on it. "Not much to be seen from this far off though."

Trent moved towards the town gate as his comrades left. None of them knew when the other Vertix would arrive, but they had the information needed and somebody needed to convey it to the rest of the company. Trent was confident he would be fine so long as he went unnoticed. "Christ this towns tense." He muttered to himself as the gate came into view. "You'd think a visitor or two would be fine, it is a fucking town after all. What do they expect? To be all alone forever?" Trent grabbed a seat near the gate and waited for the group to arrive with Her Highness in tow.

"This is Easterbank?" Grace asked no one in particular. "Wow, it looks like nothing, if nothing could be shown, you know? Wow, no shopping here I guess."
