Taking in the situation, Wylie saw that this battle was already swinging in their favour. Their ground fighters were obviously untrained brutes and were quickly being dispatched. It was the archers that they needed to worry about. They had good cover and were steadily picking off the travellers.
Wylie raced his horse over to where Rayl was retrieving his lance when Wylie tapped him on the shoulder.
"Excuse me, Rayl," said Wylie before resting the tip of his staff on the arrow wound on Rayl's right arm. A white light came from the staff and the arrow seemed to work its way out of the arm before dropping to the ground and the wound healing over. The whole process took only a moment.
It's these archers that are the real problem, and Persephone's in real danger here. I hope someone can do something about th... huh?
Wylie had looked over to the bushes where the arrows were coming from, or had been coming from before they seemed to stop. At that point he saw the glint of a hand axe through the bush and the splatter of blood.
Wylie shot a prayer off to Elimine. Please be on our side.

When Rayl adressed Crowley, the bandit was distracted, Crowley moved in and wanted to stab the man but the bandit got hold of Crowley's hand. Crowley tried to give him a headbutt, but the man, who was larger and bigger gave a harder headbutt back. They were still standing close to each other. Crowley tried hitting the guy in the b*lls again. Didn't work. In return the bandit kicked him right in the nuts. Crowley fell on the ground.
The bandit came closer. And then Crowley jumped up and stabbed the man. The bandi, who was suprised looked at Crowley.
"How? I thought?"
Crowley took out a wooden plate out of his pants.
"Never leave home without it." He winked and finished the man.

Zeiss calmly walked over to the bushes in which the archers were supposbly hiding. 'I'm too old for this nonsense.'

Usha punched the archer she'd already wounded, smiling as he crumpled at her feet. The other archers were beginning to look nervous. They were instructed to stay back and provide cover fire, not deal with a large, crazy woman.
Usha flung her axe again, hitting another unfortunate archer. One of his companions returned fire. Usha felt the arrow hit her other shoulder, but ignored it. She charged, finishing off the wounded archer, and hitting the other.
Now only one archer remained whole and standing. Shivering, he dropped his bow, hands raised.
Usha smiled, walking over to him. Once she got close, she headbutted the archer. Now she stood, bleeding from two arrow wounds, among the fallen archers. "Wonder if there's more playmates around...."

(OOC: Gah, last night, my bro, who's falkon on here, forgot to log off of my laptop, and I typed a post in here on his account :/ lucily I deleted it...gah he is a pain sometimes... DX )
BIC:
Rayl Laughed at Crowley's performance, as he grabbed the last man, the boss the last one besides him, who was carrying a bag full of most likely loot. he tossed the bag tot he side, before pinning the man to the wall, and tieing him up, and tossing him to the ground," I'll get back to you later...Crowley! Only the leader is left, take him out! We'll question this captive afterwards!" he took afew steps, but stopped to look down to his horse's dead body, the bag of loot beside it. He opened the sack, and stared right into all the jewels and what not, but ignored them, pulling out a helmet and shield of a footsoldier of Laus...
...he remembered his training now, when he was first to become a common footsoldier, frontline infantry...if it hadn't been for his calming down a crazed horse (his horse that was just slain present time), who's former master was recently slain, he'd probably like what happened to this soldier. He looked at the named carved into the inside of the shield, before gripping it in his right, and placed the shield on his head...he looked alot like the common foot soldier, except for the meddle on the left side of his armor, of course. Gazing around at the blood and violence, he couldn't help but search for Lady Persephone, what with all the archers: Wylie was probably with lady Alcibie anyways, so he wouldn't have to worry about her...he hoped...

She had seen the archers and Ayriss had simply froze up entirely. Persephone had been attempted to calm her steed down but the fact this was harder then it seemed to be. Her eyes were scanning the area, she needed to be useful but in range of any archer and she could ultimately be doomed if anything. Taking her spear though her eyes locked onto a lone bandit that seemed to be lingering back, she swallowed before giving Ayriss's reigns a tug. "Come on girl we have to be useful."
Stepping towards she looked to the axe man, "Lets go.." She directed the girl off towards them.
Quickly she jammed her spear into his back quickly, and he turned to swipe at her only for Ayriss to jump backwards avoiding the attack unlike the last few battles. A smile spread across her lips as suddenly she twirled her spear and jammed it into the the bandit ending his miserable existance. Turning around she looked over her shoulder, now were they handling those archers?

Alcibie turned about five different shades of red. Had he just…I think he did. Alcibie turned more funny colors as she stared at Crawley. The man had pulled wood out of his pants. I know it was called wood, but I did not think it was made out of wood. I mean if it was, why would anyone want it there? Splinters would be a pain and wait…that is…I mean it should go there. That goes there right? I always thought that it did. I mean that is why you have it right. Well they as in men because that is how you make the small ones. But I never thought it came off. Why would it come off? I thought you had to…I mean well. Should I really be thinking these things in the middle of battle?Alcibie paused and looked around no one seemed to be trying to kill her. But if it comes off why do they…in the beds with the squeaking. I just do not understand. I always swore...
She heard Rayl call out. She snapped back up. Right, she was standing in the middle of the battlefield. She should work on that. Following Zeiss would be bad maybe she would just move over towards Rayl and Crowley. She turned five more different shades of red.

(OOC: for the record: finals are such a pain DX )
Rayl looked down across the ground: to think, only moments before, this was a quiet eaceful, pure town, recovering from attack, and now battle raged again through the streets, blood flowing down to the gutters like water after a rainy day, being carried off to the local water fountains to be reused throughout the small area...bah, now wasn't the time for insanly long similes.
He ran off towards the pegasus knight, and skid to a halt," Lady persephone, we have but to wait for sir Crowley to finish off their leader, then, after we interrogate my captive over there." he pointed a thumb back to the tied up bandit, next to the body of his horse, and he dared not to look back to keep from the already visible sorrow to be even more so, as he lowered the helmet's face guard,"I know this is a bad time to ask this, but: could I talk to you in private for a moment...?" It was strange really: he didn't seem so formal as he had been, maybe it was the death of the whole cause of him becomeing a Cavalier, or maybe it was just the days occurances itself, what with fighting the pegasus knight in the arena and what not...

"Sir Crowley is finishing off the lead bandit? Well thats a relief." Persephone sighed before looking to Rayl. Then over towards that man that he was currently holding captive from earlier. Her eyes shifted to the bandit whom she had rather quickly mutilated with the slim lance, that was stained with blood. How barbaric war was at time, yet a Pegasus Knight made the job look almost glamorous at times.
"...?" Persephone blinked pushing some of her white lockes of hair back out of her face looking to him rather curiously, "...Of course Rayl," She managed to respond having recovered by the surprise the question brought upon her. What could be be wanting to talk with her about? "It looks like all the archers have been wiped out so I don't think there is anything to really worry about. Whats the matter?"

BIC:
"...It's not about the battle at hand..." he smiled, though it was hidden by the face guard, which he then lowered from his face,"As this battle is over for us...why don't we just talk...that and I wanted to apologize more formally...umm...sit down..." he looked over to a bench that was no where around the blood stained area, and calmly took a seat,"...I am deeply sorry for what happened when we meet...I never had any intention of making you uncomfortable in any way, I was just trying to figure out why in blazes your uniform is so short when you come from a place that is so cold...ok, that sounded crude, but I couldn't think of any way to fix it up..." he looked down to the ground, before continuing, and decided to change the subject again," Alright then...what was it like living in the mountains of Ilia...do you have any siblings...?" he shook his head," Anyways, to sum it up: I just want to get to know you better: Friends fight side by side better than two strangers, correct?"

"To me the mountains aren't cold at all," She then replied to the horseless cavalier, "I was raised there so the cold is normal temperature for me. Actually down this way its quite hot in comparison, good thing Ayriss has me in the air most the time so I catch the breeze." She replied with a small smile on her face. "So the short skirts just kind of, well theres a reason we wear such high boots silly."
"And I had no sibblings, I was an only child." Persephone added before looking out towards the battlefield for a moment tugging at Ayriss's reigns so she would stand still, "And I do not think truer words have been spoken on this battle field here today." Using the blunt end of her spear to lift up his chin she smiled, "There is no need to be so shy Rayl."

Rayl moved the blunt end of the spear away from him, before nodding,"Indeed...it's just that, well, I don't know...as you know I am peasent born, often working in the fields...then I went to become a soldier of Laus right? Then, that kind family of Bakers took me in before so...it was with them that I actually learned to read and write, in all honesty...this was four years ago." he smirked, before reading a sign besides them," Caution: floor slippery when wet...pssh...like something like that is ever going to be useful anywhere...anyways." he then continued, back on subject,"Then a kind old Knight took me under his wing...I was going to become a common footsoldier like the man who's shield and helmet I now wear, if it hadn't been for my taming a horse, wild and unruley since it's previous master was slain...that is the horse who's blood stains the ground now..." he sighed, looking back down," Without him...I feel as if I should just be a normal soldier, and so...here we are...but that's not important...so tell me, how was it like being raised by nobles...which also reminds me, sorry for yelling at you in the bar, hadn't ment to offend you there either."

OoC: Rayl sounds like he would get along great with Alexia and Matthias, who have similiar stories.
Usha stood amongst the fallen archers, scratching her head. Why would there just be archers standing around like this? It didn't make much sense. There must be more bandits somewhere.
She turned and looked through the brush, trying to see what the archers had been aiming at. There were two women and a man standing around. Another man was approaching Usha's position. More bandits? No, there were bodies around them; bodies that clearly belonged to bandits. Usha wiped her axe off on a bandit and strode out of the bushes. "Greetings!" she almost shouted.

OoC: Can you not keep posting on turn when there are four other people in the thread? It's annying, not to mention the fact that Usha was adressing Zeiss.)
So he's our leader now? Hmph, this guy's narrow mind goes too fast for me. But I suppose while they are distracted I should attent to business. Zeiss walked over to the prisoner and kneeled down beside him. 'Listen pal, I'm going to ask you a question and if i think you're lying our new friend over there will take over questioning. You understand?' Zeiss said quietly. The mn nodded intensivly.
'Good, now did you come out here because we looked like we had money or were easy targets, or was there a deeper reason?' 'We just-.' The man stopped talking as the shaman stood up. 'Good... Then you're just a burden.' The bandit stood up and tried to run making it even easier for Zeiss. A few chants of Dark Magic from his Flux-book and the man fell to the group. Zeiss turned around. The other hadn't heard them talking.

Alcibie jumped hearing the shouts. She ran over to Rayl and Persephone. She saw the fighter with arrows sticking out from bleeding flesh. Alcibie almost ran away. The fighter was covered in blood. She turned to the tied up man who was having a worse reaction than she was. Alcibie blushed and turned towards Rayl. Rayl was looking to Persephone, seems this Axe Wielder was not a threat. Alcibie pulled up her hood to hide her embarrassed face. She moved in front of the big ones path.
“H-Hello, I am go-going to heal y-you now…” Alcibie held up her staff and the blue light flashed. The arrows removed themselves and the flesh knitted itself back together. Alcibie knew it was not fully healed, but at least the blood had stopped. “You are not back up to full health I just sealed them up…okay?” Alcibie began to back up. Truthfully the large one with the axe scared her…
She turned when she heard the hiss of magic. She turned to see Zeiss close his book. She smiled he did not appear to have gathered anymore wounds. She should probably start casting random heals just in case. Alcibie had the odd feeling that these men were a little too use to combat.
