Night nodded. "Well then, looks like we got a battle on our hands." He said nonchalantly as he stood straight and lifted his sword onto his shoulder. "Right-o, then. I guess the missy and myself will be taking on the axes and swords both, at least until wyvern boy takes out that spearman." He grinned. "So, any particular positioninc, Boss?"

Clutching his shoulder for a moment, he looked from side to side, before nodding to himself in slight approval,"Alright, I'll head for those trees, and try and ambush the spearman, take him out before he can cause us trouble, Renaz will back me up as necessary, while you and Jackie will head for those rocks, provide yourself with some cover from arrows, and be able to outmaneuver the enemy." with this, he kicked at the sides of his horse, and trotted off for the aforementioned trees, as the first few baddies appeared within view.

"Alright, captain." She repeated what he said in her mind, then ran as fast as she could to the quite large rocks he had mentioned.

Renaz then replied to Rayl, "Okay, I'll keep a watchful eye out for ya." He said this with a grin, just to keep himself in high spirits. He then got on Angur, his wyvern. He kicked just a bit at the wyvern's sides, causing him to fly. As Renaz gained altitude, he kep close to Jacky, and watched Rayl at the same time. He was at a point where it would take a very skilled sniper to take him down.

Staying out of sight, he watched as the bandits went on by his patch of trees he hid in, as they advanced for a small Nomadic village, just behind the rocks Night and Jackie would be. As the spearman passed (behind the others), accompanied by an archer at the rear. Stealth would be key in this situation, as Rayl, dismounted, and crept along behind the regiment of thieves, grabbed the archer, hand over the mouth, and dragged him off, gagging and tying him up to a tree. The rest was up to the others, he was barely able to do that much himself. Teamwork was key.

Aleth kept on walking away from camp. Its bad enough there were two people that hated the mornings, but in her anger, she had lost her way. Oh how she would love to find some town at the moment, but that seemed quite out of her reach. In the middle of her thoughts, she slipped and fell face first into the grass. In that moment, she let out a high shriek of surprise, but it quickly settled.
"Ouch....."

Night smirked, and unsheathed his blade. "ALLRIGHT CHUMS, LETS DO THIS!" he announced loudy, springing up from behind the rocks. As he charged for the axemen, he shouted a battle cry an old friend had once used...He decided not to remind himself that the poor b*stard was killed about ten seconds after he said it. "LEEEERRRROOOOOYYYYY JEEEEENNNNKIIIIINNNNSSSSS!" With his old friends name echoing, he swung his sword at the brigand before him.

The spearman I kill, the spearman I kill...
Renaz kept repeating that in his head, because this was his actual first battle. He was a bit nervous, and yet, he couldn't wait to start. He then heard, and saw, Night, go right out to another birgand. Now was the time for him to strike. Renaz kicked at Angur's side, then started saying to himself, "The spearman I kill, the spearman I kill," he repeated. Angur made a head-first dive to ward the spearman. The rider began to gain speed in the air. Renaz had his lance at hand, ready to strike at any time. The wind was right in his face, but it didn't even make him flinch. He trained for this moment for as long as he could remember.
They were nearing where the spearman was. Renaz pull at the reigns a little, just to make the swoop more accurate. It was a dangerous stunt he was pulling off, and he needed it to be perfect. If it wasn't he could either crash into the ground, have been shot by arrows, or Angur shot by arrows. The speed was gaining even more. Renaz's lance in his arm did not loose steadiness. Pulling back the spear, preparing for a lunge, he shouted, "THE SPEARMAN I KILL!!!" Renaz lunged the lance, arrows nicking Angur's tail. The hit was dead on, causing the lance to protruded from the back of the spearman. Renaz then positioned his lance to wards the back, not wanting a dead body being carried by his lance. The rider then pulled the reigns, causing Angur to rise. He finally earned the title of a real soldier in battle.

(Dang, Night and Renaz got all the cool epic battle cries...)
Rayl was silently applauding Renaz dive, he had indeed seemed a tad nervous earlier, but that was gone now, reminded him of that other rider he traveled with ever so briefly before he betrayed everyone...looking back, that had to have been the WORST idea ever. the second worst was pissing Crowley and boy that was stupid to do...
...but that was all in the past, as he made sure the captured archer was tied to the tree tight enough, before slowly lifting his lance, mentally debating if he should join in on the battle, as there were a few archers left, and Night and Aleth wouldn't really be able to get to them in time," If I die doing this, he's going to owe me badly." and so limping over and getting up and onto his saddle, he rode off and out of the trees, letting his horse do all the work while he made sure he could still hit something.

"Night, you idiot, it would've been easier to kill them without their knowing where we are." Jackie looked over the rock and blasted one of the bandits twice with a fireball. "If you can't handle the heat, you should've picked an honest job."

Rayl took a brief moment to stop and watch the battle, a stupid idea but hey, he wasn't in too much danger yet. Night was being a moron (he'd hit him later for that), Jackie was saying something that was amusing, and Renaz was doing the same thing, all of them killing people...
...why didn't he say anything catchy like that whenever he killed someone...? Oh well. With this, he continued onwards into the battle, leaning to the right of his horse to ready for a strike, as his horse leapt up and over a rock, where he thrust his spear forward, aiming for the back of one of the archers, who was smart enough to jump back...and right into the path of the horse, where he was sent flying, Rayl taking the opportunity to impale him, "...I should have said something..." Before the axemen could get to him, he had already ridden off for the rocks where the others were.

Renaz was now circling around some of the bandits. He just needed them to stay where they were for a while, before he could figure out how to strike. Then he remembered: Rayl. He told Renaz to watch out for him. Crap, I forgot about Rayl! The rush of the battle was so exciting, he forgot his duty! He then kicked the sides of Angur, and sped off to wards where he last saw Rayl. To confuse the enemy, so he would lead the bandits to Rayl, he flew a bit to the right, to wards some trees. It didn't take too long. And once he was there, he flew way low, so he was behind the trees and some rocks.
Once he got to the place he last saw Rayl, he waited a bit. He didn't exactly see him, so Renaz concluded that he was probably hiding. So, Renaz merely sat there, with Angur, and looked around.

Aleth pushed off from the ground, she could have swore there some screaming in the air. Where was it all coming from? Well with her luck she would probably end up being right next to it. Taking hold of her sword, she marched off in the direction of the shouting and this time watching where she stepped. Soon, she found her others, well it was her time to strike.
"Hey, what can I do to help?!?!?" she hollered to her comrades. Just then she noticed a dark shape behind her. Jumping over she laid face down on the hard ground, but it could have been her head getting chopped off.
"Ouch..." Taking hold of her sword and getting back up, she faced the axeman.
"What are we doing exactly?" She screamed, her sword clanging with the man's axe. Strength may have been to his advantage, but oh well!

"Well, you could help and make sure Night doesn't kill himself." Came the simple response as Rayl came riding on over, sure he couldn't help much, what with the disadvantages he had for that particular encounter, what with the axe and all, but he quickly made an evaluation of the battlefield. Aleth was fighting someone, Jackie was as well, and Renaz lead a large remainder of the bandits off towards where he had been moments ago...fun.
But most importantly was the guy with the sword running for them,"You know, once this is over, I vote we head somewhere with less bandits..." weither this was a suggestion or a complaint was fairly obvious: It was both. But either way, he kicked at the sides of his horse and rode forward to intercept the second bandit.

Renaz was waiting where he thought Rayl was. And he still would have, if it hadden't been for the bandits. He could hear them shouting. Great, they found me... At that, Renaz whipped Angur's reigns, and took off into the sky. As he was flying, he saw the bandits running about, looking for him, and his comrades. Yet, Renaz found his newfound friends, and he flew downwards, to wards them. And it would have been a standard landing, if it hadn't been for the archer. As Renaz and Angur were decending, and arrow struck Angur. It his his leg, but that was enough for him to loose balance. They were now decending downwards, fast. Renaz pulled on the reigns, trying to have Angur pull up, before they hit the ground. Angur made an effort to lengthen his wings, and it caused them to merely glide. As they were landing near Rayl, and someone else, Angur tried to use the leg that was shot. He could not, however. The pain was too much, and angur, with Renaz, collapsed into a heap.
