Matthias led his (and Crowley's) merry band of miscreants through Ostia, moving cautiously. "The place is a fuckin' graveyard," he spat. There wasn't a single soul to be found. Eventually, the group reached the palace (since it's Ostia Palace, it should be castle, dang it).
"Alright, you should probably leave Roland to me," Matthias warned his followers. "The guy did this." He waved his hand at Ostia. "So he'd f**k you up somethin' major. All ready?" he looked at his hired squad.
OoC: Fair warning Crowley, Roland is a bad ass. If you get hit, you WILL die. But do try to help. And feel free to launch NPCs at him.

OoC; woah, no way we can take him. I mean, sheez, I don't know sh*t about FE stats but has 30 on everything! Well, here we go. And he killed an entire army on his own! blargh.
"Roland? The hero?" He turned around and made a gesture to his friends which implied the archer was clearly crazy.
"Fine. We'll go kill 'Roland'. If it really is the legendary Hero, I demand a bigger fee." Crowley smiled. He was about to gamble again. But this time with his life.
"Let's go guys, split up." The guys split up and started searching the area. In this position they could sneak around a foe and attack him from various directions.
"Oi! Roooland! We're here!" Crowley smiled at the surprised faces of his friends.
"Sneaking is for the weak." He explained while grinning.

Matthias grinned. He like Crowley's attitude. "Come out an' fight, ya fuckin' pansy!" he shouted. He tapped his sword on the ground as he walked. "Ya don't wanna keep us waitin', do ya? Or are ya too tired ta fight a coupla mercs?"
This was beginning to feel eerilier familiar to Matthias. Didn't he taunt a hero once already? And didn't that turn out badly? Well, Alexia always said that he never learned....

"Hahaha! That's the way to go mate!" He laughed. He was building up adrenaline for the upcoming fight.
His mates we're laughing as well. They liked this. This is the way the always did it.
"Oi! Fellas! I see a guy sittin' there! It looks like he's waitin'!" One of the mercs yelled.
"Bingo. I think we just found our 'hero'." Crowley mumbled.
"Let's go potty mouth." He yelled at Matthias.

"Damn straight," agreed Matthias. He was used to the comments about his language. It made him miss Alexia a bit. he strung an arrow on his newly enchanted bow, and strolled into the room where Roland sat, waiting.
OoC: Matis or Kenny will take over as Roland while we fight him, Crowley. Oh, and please be careful, I'm beginning ot like you and I don't wanna see you dead so soon.

(OoC: Yeh, thanks. Matthias and Crowley kind of match, no? I like it. Okay here we go.)
"He ain't movin' " Crowley proclaimed. As if nobody else noticed it. He gave a little nudge to one of his comrades.
"Go check."
The mercenary didn't move.
"Hell no. I ain't gonna waist MY life."
"Psh, fine." He pointed to the other one. "You, you move."
"Nope."
Crowley threw his hands to the air.
"And we're supposed to be the tough, heroic good guys? Aaaargh. Potty mouth, just fire that arrow will you?"
The mercs got ready to fight.

Matthias eyed the man. He looked a lot like Roland. And Matthias knew that the heroes were back, he'd learned that lesson the hard way. To test, he shot an arrow, aiming for the hero's shoulder.

Sensing the attack, Roland picked his sword up using his foot to send it up in the air, grabbed it and spun it around, knocking the arrow away.
"Look at what we've got here...I was getting bored. Stupid army didn't even stood a chance", he said, smirking.
"Turn back, while you still can". Roland was walking towards the group, carrying Durandal, the legendary "Blazing Sword" in his right hand.

"Like hell I will," Matthias spat, knocking another arrow. "You invaded here, you stupid bastard!" He wondered for a few moments where the noble family went. Sain should've been around here somewhere....
He snapped back to attention and fired another arrow, watching as the light magic from the bow spiraled around it.

Roland side-stepped the arrow, but it's light magic somehow reached his arm, making a gap on his clothing, barely missing the skin.
"Hmm...this might be interesting". Roland rushed forward, jumped and tried a downwards attack with Durandal on the ranger.

Aerious was flying over the skies of Lycia. He didn't know why he choose to stay in his dragon form today, but he figured it would be a good idea. He just felt like it was what he should be doing. Soaring over the sky he saw the smoldering remains of what would have to be Castle Ostia. He had never seen it before. Swooping low he passed over the deserted castle, wondering what he could see...

Two swords fell to the ground. Crowley saw the two mercs dropping their weapons.
"I'm not going to get myself killed." One mumbled. They raised their hands as a sign of surrender.
Crowley smiled.
"Aaah, the infamous plan B. Well, guys, I'm thinking of joining you." He got ready to drop his sword and make a run for it as well when he suddenly changed his mind.
"Aah, gambling. I like this." He grinned and got ready to do something when the hero was distracted. Gambling with your life made everything so much more... intensive.

"Ah, f**k," Matthias cursed. He barely had time to draw his steel sword out, and watched as durandal collided with the weapon. Matthias's whole arm went numb, but he tried to slash the hero.

"Pah, not bad." Crowley mumbled. He picked up a rock. He felt the weight in his hands.
"Better than nothing I suppose." And he flinged the rock at the back of Roland.

Distracted by Crowley's rock, Roland turned his head around, giving Matthias enough time to stab Roland directly in his left arm.
Stepping backwards, Roland plunged his sword on the ground, as he used his other arm to cover the wound.
Roland was mad. He picked up his sword again, and tried ramming Crowley.
OoC: Go ahead, dodge it. We don't want another dead character so soon.
