"It would seem that I was lied to about you level of competance Cesia." Cid said as he examined the street. "Ah this way." He said and led them to a small stone building. "I think this should be where we set up our basecamp now." The building had an old sign marking it as an outfitter shop.

Thid sighed with relief when Vace and Ark arrived on the scene. Yikes, i thought i was done for back there. But now with these two distracting the leader, I can make my escape.

But as Thid continued down the hall, his vision started to haze, and darken. What the? I'm not feeling so good. He couldn't have had a poisoned blade, i didn't think i got hit that bad. *reaches behind his back, and feels a good sized gash.*

Thid falls against a near wall. I guess i could just rest here for a bit, get up my strength and what not. Whew, it's hot in here.

Kal attacked first. The leader was quite good. Very good. He beat aside the attack, throwing it wide and spun so his back was to the cheif. In the same motion, he pulled his dagger and stuck it into the guy's leg before pulling it out and sticking it into his armpit.

He pulled it out again and spun away. The cheif snickered despite the fact he was down an arm and tossed the sword to his other hand.

"Dude? Some help might be needed."

OOC: Wait... Who got stabbed, who stabbed, and how did he lose an arm?

OOC: I stabbed the Bandit leader. He didn't lose an arm, but his "good" arm is pretty much useless now. I'm writing this as he can fight ambidexterously.

Despite his injuries, the leader still weilded his sword with incredible skill. Vace charged him, bringing his claymore down in an overhead slash, but the bandit brought his sword around and brought it to the side. Vace took advantage of the action to kick the leader in the chest, a strong blow that knocked him back and made him lose his sword. As vace advanced to finish him, the leader suddenly reached into his shirt and threw a flurry of daggers, which Vace leapt out of the way of. After this, he had run out of tricks, and Vace walked up to him and punched his lights out. "There, problem solved," He said tiredly.

OOC: I find it ironic that you both say he is skilled, then proceed to kick his ass easily.

Lynx was sitting in a nearby window, watching. "That was easy..."

Ark sheathed went and wiped the blood off his sword on the leader before sheathing it. Still feeling a bit woozy, he unclipped the sheath, and leaned on it.

He was panting, and had a cut across his cheek that had blood mingling with his sweat. "I...hate...runs..."

Lynx jumped down from the window ledge, and approached Vace. "You carry the bandit, Ark, and Thid, who is down the hall, outside. Wait for the mage." After that, Lynx leaped out the window, and onto a roof.

He jumped from roof to roof, until he found Cid and the rest. Jumping down infront of Cid, he told them all what happened. "The leader is unconcoius, but Thid is poisoned most likely. His heartbeat slowed and he's breathing heavy. Ark got hit, so he is too. So mage, follow me, you need to go heal them. And someone else come as a gaurd. Some bandits might still be prowling around." Lynx waited for Dawn and whoever else to get ready.

Ark checked his side. He'd managed to keep most of the blade from hitting him, but he'd taken a gash, He clamped his hand back over it.

While he wasn't poisoned, the blood loss and the run had worn him down. "You got some rags or something I can use?" he managed to pant out.
