[Xanmyral]

Left, right, duck and weave, dodge and cover. The wounded merchant drew up a sweat evading the archers and swordsman, striking when he could. It was only a matter of time however. Even when the blows stopped and the attacks abated for a moment, there was one more evasive attempt and one last slash. The knife struck naught but air, the blow aimed in none of the directions of his assailants. The rogue stared for a beat at the empty air before returning his focus on the three.

"Best spare a cup. I hear the dice rattle, and you know what they say about carved bones and clever hands."

[Powder Miner]

:"Heyyyy Gallus, boost me!"
O6, drop Jazz to N6.

[Tiruin]

Kyrah to L7; Attack ;_;

Seeing the...complete disaster unfolding beyond her eyes, Kyrah felt panic creeping into her veins: The enemy was numerous and had the advantage of the wedge formation. She was very uncertain given these results--where was that one person who helped them a few hours ago, again?

Turning back her focus to the nearest threat, Kyrah hoped her skill would render the counterattack useless--her adrenaline hoped for it.
"...Alison?"


Gallus to dance Fiona!

[Powder Miner]

Fiona next darted down to grab the shirtless bleeding swordsman, whisking him away from the battle, and from the range of those longbowmen.
I4, grab Santoku, J2

[Blade Master Model 42]

Alison to O,6 and heal Jasmine.

[Xanmyral]

Hold unless Kyrah somehow crits, in which case flee to L6!

[Powder Miner]

Fiona soared above the battlefield, seeing it from a bird's eye view... and it was much, much worse than she had thought. They were all bleeding out and surrounded by the bandits, and Gallus was the only other one still standing. To make it worse, she was already carrying someone who was terrible shape himself, and the longbowmen were advancing and making rescue a further impossible proposition.
:"Shit!"
Fiona wasn't going to be able to do anything... the only way anyone was going to survive was going to be if she were to flee. She didn't want to abandon them, she really really didn't want to, but she was helpless to do anything else but join them on the ground. Fiona grimaced, and her usually confident expression utterly crumpled. "Gallus, we-- we have to run! You all, I, I'll come back for you, I swear..."

Flee north off of the map, Santoku still rescued. Gallus will similarly run north off the map.

[Tiruin]

Kyrah rolled around in pain--as far as being prone and having your breath knocked out of you by a lance to your armor could take.

With her face to the ground, she caught only Fiona's pegasi taking her away. A feeling of dread followed--this was the fear her parents told her about: Ransom. Or a battlefield death; that would've been preferred given all she could only see now.
She looked back at her reconnaissance training and wondered if she could've done better. Cramped conditions, melee fighting...she did train in the forms akin to cavaliers of old. She wondered if she could copy that one day.

Hopefully, one day she'll live to see.

Accept party defeat. Plead for mercy.

[Swordstar]

"Da...amn. I guess... the end has come for me. I just hope... those three will escape. Please, let them live..."

[Sirus]

: "S-so, that whole 'give up and run away' thing...funny joke, right fellas? Heh..."

[Xanmyral]

The merchant was siting down, the only thing keeping him upright being a tree. He was lost in his mind, slipping and darkening from his wounds but spending the last fleeting lucidity on thoughts of hearth.

[GiglameshDespair]

Fiona took flight to the north, the bleeding Santoku draped over the back of her horse. Below, Gallus turned and ran into the forest, disappearing from view...

----

The others lay, bleeding. As the dark crept in, they could only faintly hear the voices of their triumphant victors.

"Heh. Cowardly bastards. Let them die."
A boot thudded into Zahir's side, turning him other.
"Nah, that's too kind. And we could still make a little more profit, specially as we'll be splitting it less ways."
"Suppose it wouldn't be more difficult to have a few more slaves to sell."
"See? Now you're thinking."
_{"Heh heh heh..."
"Ha ha..."}

Chapter One: Rescue Raid unsuccessful...

Fiona came to a stop in a clearing. Santoku slid off the pegasus, falling to the ground, breathing slowly. They'd failed. She'd failed. Now her friends were dead or captured.
What would she do now?

[Blade Master Model 42]

Santoku hit the ground with a heavy thud, still bleeding and in need of bandaging. At the very least, it was possible now for Fiona to give him adequate care without fear or worry of being attacked.

[Powder Miner]

Using a vulnerary taken from Gallus and desperately trying not to descend into weeping, Fiona began to do her best to bring Santoku up to standing state.
