While I shout for my friends, I flame-slash Gunman A.
((+1 to fire MAGIC =/= +1 fire damage))
[5] ([4]+2)x2 = 12 damage. Edit: You get the jump on the gunman and manage to hit him with the hilt of your sword, caving his skull inwards.
"Don't go anywhere, I will get back to you soon enough. You try, and I may have to cut off a few parts..."
Zack then kicks the oaf in the balls and hides in some shadows, sneaking toward the sounds of fighting.
[3] You kick is pathetic and weak, but hits where it is supposed to. He should be incapacitated for a minute at least.
[1] You run face first into another gunmen who appears to be aiming straight for you. FUN!
"Who told you what you were supposed to do, hmm?" Hearing Ochita's cry, he curses silently, then seeing Zako's brilliant idea of incapacitating the prisoner, he rushes off to help Ochita, drawing his sword and swinging at the nearest.
[6] You also run face first into the enemy, but rather than being under prepared as Zack is, you over thought your next move and the Gunman easily jumped out of the way of your attack.
"Good to see you Malgun, although I would not wish it on you, this place seems ... uninviting. However I think that we should explore so as to find a way out or maybe whatever it is that emptied the village." Regardless of what Malgun says, Havor'e prepairs to cast a blinding light spell should a potentialy hostile encounter appear (I love having non-lethal measures, allows me to not feel guilty when using pre-emptive strikes) and enters the village
[4] As you approach the village you can see. . . children with a giant curved blade replacing one of their arms feasting on several corpses that were thrown into a pile. You barely manage to keep your breakfast down.
"Havor'e," Malgun responded, still confused about the situation. He put the sword away in favor of the rifle, which he was much more comfortable with, and swept the area. "I... don't see anything. That doesn't mean we should let our guard down, though. Someone separated us from Dor'lek for a reason." Or maybe they were trying to separate me from the trolls and miscalculated... but that depends on if they knew I had the mark or not. Or maybe they just thought a human would be an easy target. On the other hand, maybe they were trying to separate the trolls and I just got sucked into this as well.
He groaned. He was overthinking things again instead of going forth and taking action. In any case, he felt better about things since he wasn't alone any more, and that was a plus. "I'll take point. If something rushes us, maybe I can get a few shots off before it gets here... and I have a sword for when it does." He wasn't trained with it beyond the normal pretend-fighting children did, although it had been only him and his imagination in his case. Nevertheless, he could use it and not get himself hurt swinging it. Havor'e moved to enter the village, so Malgun did too, staying by her side and a step or two ahead, keeping the rifle up with the safety off and his gaze moving to keep an eye on everything.
[6] You approach the town with Havor'e, it's not long until you catch sight of the demonic children feasting on the corpses as well. You quickly wish you had something to hide behind. This can't be happening. This can't be real.
Get ready for a fight. "Who are you? What's happened here?"
[6] You call out to the stranger but he doesn't seem to hear you. He just continues walking. You can see he carries two swords at his right side. His head is covered in white silk and his iron chestplate has been adorned with an image of Sareesa on the front. He also has an orange-dyed linen shirt and is wearing black pants. As he gets closer you also realize he is carrying some kind of strange pole-arm on his back. He's about thirty feet away from you when he finally stops. "Don't bother, everything in that town is lost now."
Enemy TurnsGunman 2: [2] The duo of Zack and Frelock clearly startled this man as he fires straight into the ground with liquid flame, he frantically is trying to cock his gun back for a second shot (revolver-style caster)
Gunman 3: [6]
This gunman has a "caster" type gun, but even that can't help his aim. A powerful exploding fireball is launched far above everyone's heads as he tries, and fails to hit Ochita. Popping out the expended shell, he puts in another one with a green lining around it. Oh, this can't be good.
