Usha chuckled, shaking her head. Betting against Zeiss would be a fool's bet. Even if you didn't know anything about magic, you could tell that Zeiss had far more experience than the poor swordsman. At best the poor lad would injure the shaman.
"Swordsman be extra crispy," Usha replied, grinning.

Zeiss was already bored with match. He summoned a Flux and the dark orb slipped underground would in a few few second rise up under Tobias. Wylie will have his work cut out for him. Zeiss thought darkly.

Tobias saw the shaman summon the dark orb, but it didn't seem to be offensive. It just went into the ground. It was interesting, but it was even worse than he thought. He had expected to be able to see an attack, dodge it, and then the shaman would be open to an attack. Without the ability to see what was happening, there was not chance to avoid the effects of the magic. He assumed it was defensive, so decided to stop the charge. He skidded to a halt and was surprised to see the dark magic rise out of the ground in front of him. It was offensive, but it traveled underground. His shock was so great he made no attempt to flee the magic, and was hit with the shock wave. He was thrown back against a tree and heard something break before he was knocked unconscious.

'I think I may have overdid it a little...' Zeiss said unconcerned, surely Wylie will fix him up right away.

Usha walked over to the unconscious swordsman and bent over him. Then she began rifling through his belongings, snorting at the various items she found.
"Stupid boy get knocked out in one hit," she commented. "He weak and spongy. Take his stuff and leave him."
She grabbed Tobias's vulnerary and then his sword, holding it up. It didn't look all that great, but she was willing to bet that Crowley could still use it.

(OoC: Since when are we allowed to loot other characters?)
"Come on, Ush. Give the poor kid a break," said Wylie, walking over with his staff ready. He glanced over Tobias' body looking for a specific injury to heal but soon found that his whole frame was smashed. Wylie the touched the staff to his torso and began the healing process.
"After this, Zeiss, do you want me to heal your.... um.... never mind," Wylie said, trailing off.

(Nah, Bunny probably figured we'd stop him By the way, Wylie you're in charge Crowley now.)
'Alright, Usha pick up the kid and then I think we should go.' Zeiss said.

Wylie finished healing Tobias. He was still unconscious but at least breathing more evenly. He'd be sore when he woke, but at least not crippled or dead.
"Sorry Zeiss," Wylie said, "but I haven't slept at all tonight. I'd prefer that we hold off moving until morning at least." As he lay down, he realised just how much healing had exhausted him. Sleep came quickly.
The next morning Wylie woke up a few minutes after sunrise. He was still tired but at least refreshed enough to keep moving. He saw everyone else stiring as well, and noted with satisfaction that Tobias was still alive.
"We should probably move soon," Wylie said after everyone was fully awake. "And Usha, no looting the new guy."

OoC: Huh, I figured we could loot... oh well, I also figured you guys would stop her.
Usha snorted, still believing they should rob the kid and leave him here. He clearly wasn't going to be very useful, unless they wanted to throw him in front of the enemy. Well, it was one more meat shield. Sighing, she bent over and hefted up the myrmidon, taking a few steps forward, then adjusting him.
"Dead weight," she muttered, looking at Wylie to get them moving.

(OoC: Hey I was looking back over this thread and realised it's actually night, and we were practically set up to camp here for the night. I'll edit my last post to be a time-skip to morning. It'll be messy but at least we'll maintain continuity.)
"Alright gang," Wylie spoke up. "Looks like we're moving."
He mounted his horse, who seemed refreshed after that nights rest, and reached down into his pack for some dried beef to chew on for breakfast.
"I'm unfamiliar with this territory. How far does anyone estimate Araphen is?" Wylie asked.

Tobias regained consciousness suddenly and realized he was being carried. Did I really get injured so badly that I can't walk? he thought. Then he remembered that he had been knocked unconscious and wondered why he only felt a dull ache. He swore he had heard something break. Damn those shaman are powerful. he thought. He hoped that there would never be an occasion to fight that shaman again, though it would be easier to actually accomplish something when he knew how the magic worked. Lost in his thoughts he forgot that he was being carried and was shocked again. He wondered how best to get the attention of the person carrying him and also wondered if something would happen before he decided.

"No idea. I've been there once, though, but I was so wasted that I don't remember anything of the place." Crowley grinned and looked at Tobias.
"Good fight, lad." He said sarcastically and grinned at the young man, showing his teeth, of which some where rotten. Crowley then looked at Wylie and stretched out his hand.
"Crowley wants beef as well."

Let's just keep heading north.' Zeiss said when it was inevitable that he had to say something.

Usha reached into her own pouch, taking some jerky to munch on as she walked. She thought she felt a wiggle from her load, but figured it was just her imagination.
"Probably take us few days hard marching to reach Araphen, I guess," Usha stated. Her mercenary troupe moved a lot slower than this group. But she wasn't entirely certain where they were right now...

Tobias was very bored since nothing was happening. He didn't want to inturrupt the obviously very important nothing that was happening, so wouldn't say anything. He rolled off the back of the person that was carrying him, was surprised by how far it was to the ground, adjusted his fall in midair, landed firmly on his feet, and calmly checked his bag. Nothing seemed to be missing, though someone seemed to have searched it. Either he had nothing they wanted or there was only one who was immoral. There was no way to tell without asking, and he didn't really care. Instead he grabbed some salted pork and ate it, wondering if it would be better to travel in a group with people he didn't like but were obviously stronger, or traveling by himself. He didn't care about that either, and decided to just start moving. They had horses and would leave him far behind if they didn't want him with them.
