This enemy was far too quick for Gytha's liking. "Guh... Blast..." she sputtered as his blade was pulled from her middle and she began to stumble backwards, nearly dropping her sword. No burrial at sea for me... That was when he wound behan to close. She was still badly injurred, but she wasn't in danger of dying anymore. ...and no death on land either.

She heard Chelsea riding away and smiled. The valkyrie had helped her get back up once more. However, she had others to look after and Gytha was in no condition to fight for the moment. "Oy, Amon! Watch yerself! I'll get Synthia's help then I'll be back!" she warned the thief before retreating to where her team's healer was standing by the cart, holding her wound.

Gytha 2/15

"Mister Sir, Stay out of this tell you get yourself a decent weapon! Especially these mages, leave them to me!" Shadrak shouted to Rodrigo as he casted at the mage that was attacking him.

2,1,6 (http://invisiblecast...r/view/2944476/)

3+5-6=-1. MISS.

Unfortunatly the talking broke his concetration, and he was unable to hit the Mage.

The mage wheeled around fired his spell at Shadrak in return:

4, 1, 4. Auto-hit! (http://invisiblecast...r/view/2944482/)

[(5+1)-3]-2=1 Damage

9-1=8. Shadrak is good!.

Shadrak so the mage prepare to counter and quickly raised a barrier as the magical Thunder flew towards him. The barrier blocked most of it, some of the magic just fizzling completely against the Elder Barrier, but a small bit got through and gave him a decent Jolt as his hair stood on end.

With the cavalier dead, Veronika turned her attention to the man shooting at Amon. She ran her sword through his chest and he fell to the ground dead. She quickly scanned the battlefield, Nanahm was laying in an unfortunate heap again and Gytha was bleeding profusely but overall things were not so bad.

(6,3,3)= 7-1= 6*2= 12 damage. Archer dead. +5 Exp.

[roymbrog]

Well, shit. With Gytha and Nanahm down already things appeared to be going downhill fast. Thankfully, though, the troubadour saw fit to revive the mariner first and Gytha was now running back to be healed, which Synthia did, then glanced worriedly in the direction her other teammate had gone. “We need to go help Amon. Can you defend me on the way over there?”

"No, Synthia. Yer safer back here. I'll go help Amon; thanks fer yer help," Gytha replied before running back into the fray to keep a closer eye on Amon. She knew she probably wouldn't quite make it to him before he was attacked; getting over to Synthia while injurred had taken some time. Show 'im how quick ye are, Amon! Don't let'im hit ye! she thought as she rushed over.

Raising his sword up and aiming it at Amon, he grinned. The stunned thief got onto his feet and readied his knife. "Heheh. You're next."

The mage meanwhile covered his mouth to keep the dust that Rodrigo had inadvertently kicked up from making him choke. Backing away, the mage looked around for a new target. One more readily available and hopefully not expecting an attack. When he realized the shaman from the enemy party was still after him, he turned on him.

Spoiler -

As the hustle and bustle of the markets started to fade away behind her, the mass swarms of people gave way to piles upon piles of crates as the many stalls and shops turned into docks and ships loading up for embarkation. The cries of the loud and pushy salesmen turned to the rigid screeches of seagulls swooping down to snap up tidbits of dead fish and cries of sailors loading and unloading from their boats. Taking stride along their many bows, Robin looked up at each, sizing them up. Barnacle-ridden hulls towered overhead, topped only just visibly by massive sails that had been bound up, but still seemed like long and full clouds trapped by the pointy pillars of giant wooden masts. Robin started to approach one of the mighty ships, before slowly backing away. The boat was a merchant ship, with large holds and much cargo. It needed the large body and size so that it could transport its cargo safely. Though impressive, it was a whale of a ship. As in; slow. If she was to be successful, she would need to find something faster.

A bit further down the docks, the massive trade ships gave way to smaller schooners and fishing boats. Though still impressive, they were noticeably smaller than the mighty trade ships. Though Robin was not a expert in ships, she was also willing to wager that they were much faster than the lumbering trade boats. As she started to approach the first of the schooners, however, a sudden bark of Neviskosian filled the air.

<"Hey! Civilian! This is a military ship! You are not allowed here.!">

Looking up, Robin spotted the source of the cry. A strong man, two anchor ropes in his hand, stood by the side of the ship looking down at her. Robin gave him a confused look. A military ship? Where were the markings? What were the markings anyways?

<"I am sorry!"> she called back, stepping away. <"I am looking for a ship to take me somewhere. Do you know where I can find one then?">

The man rolled his eyes in annoyance, yet decided against a rude or snappy remark. Instead, he called down to Robin to wait as he quickly hurried across the boarding plank to come down to the docks.

<"Where are you looking to go miss?"> he asked. It was only when the man got closer that Robin's eyes went wide in shock. Though the man was physically well-built and his stance spoke of years of experience on the seas, a clean-shaven face, unmarked by any razor, as well as a face that retained some of the features of youth said that this soldier, this man, was no older than fifteen years of age! Robin almost shot the child a double-take in surprise before she reminded herself of her own goal.

<"I do not know where. I am looking for something, I do not know quite what yet, or quite where-">

<"Wait."> said the sailor, interrupting her with a raised hand. <"You want to find a ship to take you somewhere, you don't know quite where, to look for something, you don't quite know what, and in order to find this unknown object which you don't know where it is, you try to board a military ship? Are you stupid girl?">

Robin's face went pink with fury at the sailor. <"I am trying to find some sort of relic! Something that has immense power, something strong enough and important enough so that, when the Ursian's hear that we have it, it will strike such a blow to their moral that they will stop dead in their tracks!">

The sailor boy looked at her for a long moment, questioning if his time at sea had just given him some form of delirium, before realizing that this woman was deadly serious about her goals. <"How about I tell you where the nearest recruiting station is, and you can sign up there. You can join the army and maybe fire off a few shots with that hunters bow of yours in their general direction. Who knows, you might even hit someone and last a fight if you stay on the back lines.">

<"Why you little..."> Robin almost contemplated slapping the child, before clenching her fist in a rage. For all her motivation, desire, and will to find such an artifact, the sailor was right. Hanging her head in defeat, she walked away from the dock. Yet as she did so, a silent resolve formed within her. She was going to find that relic! She would help her nation, but she would do it in her own way. Not as a member of the military, not as a supplier of meat and furs, but as a hero! She just needed to focus. She needed a target. She needed to find some books. Looking back at the market street, she felt she knew just where to find them.

OOC: I received permission to control the military soldier for this one post.

Shadrak stumbled back at the blow, and wiped off a bit of blood from his lip once he recoverred. He looked towards the mage and pointed at him, only to watch some lancer run in and kill him. With a shrug he walked over to Rodrigo with a slight limp and sliced through his bonds with dark magic. "Here you go sir..." he said with a slight wince of pain. "Good luck."

After the Kigenese knight left, Axel returned to the top of the carriage, maintaining a watch from the sides of the carriages. He took notice of the lone stranger, but it seemed that they trailed off after a short time. A few more miles, and the burnt wagon was in sight. Could they make a more obvious trap? After whipping out his lance, the soldier jumped off of the wagon, in an attempt to gain the first strike. Unfortunately, chaos erupted at that moment, and the lancer had to roll out of the way of one of the enemy cavaliers. The next minute or so was spent removing a sheathed blade from the now-deceased horseman, and by the time he had a view of the battlefield, three more enemies had fallen, along with a few on his side. A mage was threatening Vasquez and the defector, who looked to be severely injured. With a quick sprint, the man ran the mage through, tearing the spear out of the enemy as he came to a stop. By the time this act was finished, the Phoenix was freed, but still unarmed.

"Vasquez," Axel said, offering the sword's hilt with his free hand. "Feel like repaying your 'benefactors'?"

Eriya took several deep breaths as she finally caught up to the wagon. Fortunately for her, the wagon had halted before completely disappearing from sight, allowing her to catch up....

But what she saw wasn't what she wanted to see.....

An elderly man smiled at her before returning to fixing the wheel of the wagon. She'd apparently been following the wrong wagon.

Seriously? I ran all this way for some old man? This is what I get for being careful, should have relied on my eyes, not my ears.

She took a quick look around, noting that there were no other wagons in sight. Another lead, gone. <_<
Sighing to herself, she approached the man, starting up a casual conversation, and hitching a ride to where ever he was heading to.

As the ropes came loose, Rodrigo stretched out his arms and got them nice and ready. "Thanks." he replied. "And yeah, I think I will give them a little something. You guys look like you could use some help anyway." he said accepting the sword.

“Gytha, wait!” It was like she didn’t know what a team was. What if some idiot made it through to the cart? She’d never make it back in time, and that was not something Synthia wanted to think about. Thankfully she had something else to think about. Rodrigo had just been freed, and with all the fighters over in that area she deemed it safe enough to run over and heal him.

"Uh... I'm not really sure what to say here, but give them a good thrashing, Rodrigo," Synthia said, rubbing her neck awkwardly.

Noticing that Shadrak was in danger Chelsea rushed over to heal him.
"Are you okay, please don't lose your cool. Just keep it up and we'll win this fight."- she told the dark mage.

Shadrak Hp: 6/9.

Chelsea gained 2 points!
Chelsea has 43 points!!

After healing some of his wounds, the troubadour and her trusty steed rushed over to next fallen comrade. When they arrived, Chelsea scooped him up,(Noticing he was quite heavy, she made a mental note to work out some.)and put him on the front seat of the saddle. With a command she made Nesha gallop as far away from the battle, at least close to the Carriage, so she could leave him in Raquel's care. Until she had the strength to regenarate his will to fight of course.

John saw Veronika fall in her battle against the Cavalier. 'Not good!' He thought, taking aim and instructing Gil to make a dive against the horseman.

Target: Cavalier 2A

(5,6,2)
Hit: 4+5=9>4
Damage: 5+6-4=7

The cavalier almost fell from his horse as the blow struck him. Trying to keep his balance, he tried to strike back.

However, doing so while trying to not fall turned out to not be a good idea. The horseman's lance did hit, but only managed to touch his opponent, not doing any damage at all, as the cavalier managed to balance himself back, though injured badly.

The thief didn't have time to move out of the way and was struck on his arm yet again. The wound was wide and bleeding profusely. What was worse, it was Amon's knife arm and he could barely hold up his weapon anymore. Leaping back and then staggering a bit, he grabbed at the wound. "Yeah, smart move, throwing your arm up like that. You're pretty useless now, aren't you?" With a quick sprint he caught up to Amon and kicked the thief to the ground.

"Hurry up and bleed out. I don't wanna waste any more time on you. Where's Raquel, I'm sick of this crap. I want that emblem. Boris! Take out the remaining hostages! Bob! Start hitting back for gods' sake! We're try'na win here!" he ordered before making a mad dash toward the cart.

"Oh dear." Boris said as he turned to face the hostages. Among them was Rodrigo ...

"Sorry but I'm armed this time. Make one move on these people, and I'll cut you down, swordsman." Rodrigo said sternly.

"I understand, and on any other day I would comply ... but this is the end of the road. Thanks to Caine's stupidity ... my life is pretty much at an end. Any hopes for the future I have will be lost with this battle." he said with a low voice.

"Hm? What the hell? Are you okay?" he asked, somewhat concerned.

"Even if we deliver the emblem we may still pay the ultimate price for our efforts. I've failed. I'm a dead man, by either your hands, or theirs. With that in mind, I see little point in withdrawing. I won't attack the other hostages. But I'm coming for you Vasquez. Strike me down, or perish." Boris said lifting up his sword.

"..." He's lost all hope. Makes sense. He's in a bad spot to be sure.

Boris quickly charged at Rodrigo full speed aiming to kill him!

With a quick slash, Boris nicked Rodrigo. The cut barely got through the hero's leather gloves but still drew blood. The man leaped back preparing to take action himself.

"Don't get careless. You're strong, but you're not going to get out of this alive if you don't fight back!" Boris yelled, clearly frustrated by the Rodrigo's reluctance. Fight me, you coward.

The cavalier was gravely injured but remembered that he had foolishly misplaced his vulnerary before they left Urquium. What rotten luck. His only chance at survival now was to slay the enemy and quickly. He began an attack on the wyvern rider equipping his lance to neutralize any advantage the rider had and attacked.

Shadrak ran over to John who had just finished mopping up the Cavalier, he pulled out his Heal Staff and tended to him and his mounts wounds.

"AMON!!" Gytha hadn't been able to make it to her teammate on time. This is why I left th' healer alone, blast it! she thought as she dashed over, scooped up Amon and ran back to Synthia, resting Amon by her. "Watch'im," she stated, "I'm goin' t' protect Raquel. Amon, ye'd better live or ye'll regret it!"

With that, she was off once more. "YER NOT RID OF ME YET YE SLIME OF THE LAND!" she shouted, trying to both give Raquel a heads-up and to distract Caine.
