[Haspen]

The wyvern knight found a perfect, flat part of the road and released the log down onto the swarm of pursuers...

***KZZZZZZZZZZTT***

"...the log smashed into the first line of the pursuit group, and the pursuers ended in a huge pile of horses and men. That's how our venerable ancestor first developed tactical wyvern bombardment, still used in our army." The kids that were sitting around the elderly general all let a loud 'ooooh' of awe and admiration.

"Grandpa, grandpa!" One of the younger boys suddenly raised his hand.

"Yes, Londo?"

"Tell us how he developed strategical wyvern bombardment for Lord Yung!"

"Yeah!" One of the girls agreed. "And then, and then, how he rescued that young maiden who then was his wife!" The elderly man laughed at the kids and then rubbed his chin.

"Hah, you little urchins... well, I guess you don't have to go to sleep yet... allright, it all begun when..."

***KZZZZZZZZZZTT***

...the log smashed into the first line of the pursuit group, and the pursuers ended in a huge pile of horribly mangled/crushed/smashed corpses. The snowy cloud have risen and the neighing and screams was clearly heard, but it was obvious that the pursuers were stopped once and for all.

[Gamerboy4life]

"That's... horribly effective."

Seyena looked down onto the carnage as Ilya buzzed by, suppressing a bout of squeamishness. A second later, Ilya skidded to the ground next to the wagon, sending up a cloud of snow.

[CrimsonEon]

Olison only barely registered the looming shadow passed overhead, but his horse seemed to recognize the fact with a sudden burst of speed.
: "What? Steil! Slow-" He barely managed to get out before a whoosh above his head sounded, the wyvern dropped its payload, and the resulting carnage ensued. Only after the snowy dust dissipated did the paladin managed to wrest his horse down to a trot for just a few moments,"...Never trifle in the affairs of wyverns..." He exhaled slowly, examining the scene for any stragglers from a distance before picking up the pace again.

[IronyOwl]

: "Oh my. I wonder if dragons were dangerous because they were essentially those with more cunning and a better grip."

[Xanmyral]

The wyvern flew above the wagon as both rider and mount surveyed the disaster. "Oof, tha' looks loike some roight bloody business 'here. Poor bastards..."

The rider closed his eyes, and mumbled a prayer for the fallen. "Hold true, yah o' dark surroundin's an' cruel machinations, fer all be weighed in the end, an' any can be redeemed through loife. Those who have departed are free o' pain, ta seek 'eir own ends an' be balanced in the end by the grand scales o' fate an' seek the peace each man has sown. Let it be said, so shall we join 'em when our time has come, ta be measured an' weighed accordin' ta our actions an' thoughts. May 'eir souls foind the peace 'ey seek in the next, an' the darkness be cast from 'em."

He left the last part off, for it wasn't custom for the one who begun it to finish it. A silent reminder to those dear lost, should it not be filled, or a reminder of friends near if spoken.

[Sirus]

Gregor had been preparing a javelin toss for the first rider to come close enough, but lowered his arm.

: "I know it was done to defend ourselves...but I feel sorry for them. And poor Alexandra's gonna have to deal with the aftermath."

[freeformschooler]

: "Oh, right. Alexandra..."

Charlotte had three arrows under three fingers, ready to fire when Sal dropped the bomb.

[Gamerboy4life]

Gregor had been preparing a javelin toss for the first rider to come close enough, but lowered his arm.

: "I know it was done to defend ourselves...but I feel sorry for them. And poor Alexandra's gonna have to deal with the aftermath."

"Definitely not a way I would want to die."


"But, I'm not trying to run down and massacre everyone inside the wagon with overwhelming numbers, so tough luck."

[Haspen]

Anja yawned and then leaned against Alexander's side.

"Hmm, we should be in Fezzan in few hours time. Do you need to stop and rest on the way there, though? Personally I don't think I will be sleepy for some time..."

[Xanmyral]

Salvatore directed Ormm to go lower, closer to the wagon, but still keeping a safe distance so as to not possibly interfere with its movement nor it with the wyvern's.

"Everyone alroight in 'ere? Hell o' ah ruckus all tha' was, what tipped 'em off on us?" He called down to the wagon, doing a visual head count to check to see nobody fell off the wagon or anything.

[Sirus]

: "Not sure," Gregor responded to the wyvern knight's question. "We accidentally alerted a few of them inside, but I thought we had taken them down before they could sound the alarm. Next thing I know the whole castle is up in arms."

[Powder Miner]

Alexander quietly snaked an arm around Anja's waist.

[Haspen]

@Alexander:

Anja murmured quietly.

"Mmmf... Alexander, dear...?" The gypsy pressed against her knightman.

"Um... you're squeezing a little too hard. _{And squishing my organs.}"

[Xanmyral]

"Such 'ow it goes Oi guess. If'in anyone's wounded Oi got some medicine on me, if'in need be."

Salvatore sunk in the saddle, not needing to give direct guidance anymore, beyond the rare gentle nudge this way or that. Something was bugging him though.

"... What do we do now? Oi thought this trip was fer tha stone, but we don' 'ave it, an' Oi bet we all 'ave ah good guess as ta where it went. Oi don' think tha noble would much 'ppreciate us comin' back empty 'anded."

: "You've got a point. Ernest's interception team is probably on their way back to Kesselring. Other than Matilda, we directly disobeyed a Berebian officer's orders and got nothing for it. I don't think we can go back there, now..."
