Kraft looked when Sergey fell down. This... this is a miracle. He thought.
I have to act as if I'm on their side. Save what I can.
"Sergey! No! Noooo!" Kraft said, having trouble to sound as if he meant it.
He kneeled in front of Sergey and held him as if his brother had died. Meanwhile the other ex-accomplices started fighting Marzius, Alexia and the guards.

Marzius had trouble holding off the thugs that had swarmed him. Thankfully the entirety of Kraft's group hadn't been against them, or this would've been difficult. As it stood, they were still outnumbered. "THUNDER!" screamed Marzius, throwing the bolt directly into the face of a thug. The vagrant went down, his face a charred mass. However two of his companions managed to swing at Marzius. The noble dodged one, but the other dealt a blow to his leg. "Dammit, I wasn't supposed to be wounded until after we'd assaulted their base," hissed Marzius, flinging his hand out again. "THUNDER!" His second bolt only singed a thug.
OoC: Wow, really wasn't expecting that...

Alexia flung her hand axe at an oncoming guard, catching him in the shoulder. She quickly drew her sword and finished the vagrant off. Whirling, she brought her blade down on a second bandit, nearly severing his arm. "Worthless cowards!" she screamed, her voice sounding raw and emotional. "What's the matter? Can't fight someone who's prepared to meet you?!!" She swung her sword overhead, severing another thug's head. Kicking the body, she stormed towards Kraft. One thug was foolish enough to get in her way. She simply lashed out with her recovered hand axe, catching the thug directly in the face, and jerked the weapon out, ignoring the blood. By now the thugs were getting anxious, and backing away from the crazed paladin. She reached Kraft, pulling the thief up by his shirt. "Mourn later! Fight now! And you're either with us or against us. I swear to St. Elimine that if you betray us later I will kill you myself. Do I make myself perfectly clear?" she locked eyes with Kraft, her orbs blazing with fury. One thug got brave enough to attack her, and it bounced off her armor. She ignored him.
OoC: Advantage of being a level 20 promoted unit, against a buncha thugs, and enraged. So much fun.

"My-mylady, I wouldn't dream of... of betraying you!! No! No! These men... I thought, they... I am... terribly sorry. I-I... will help." Kraft jabbered away. He took his knife out and went for the men that were away from Marzius. With a bit of luck Marzius would still be dieing.
He went for one of the men and quickly slit his throat. He then paused a bit and if you looked very carefully you saw a vile smile beginning to form on his face.

The singed thug managed to nick Marzius's arm. Hissing, the lord shot him with another thunder, satisfied when he finally went down. Another thug stepped up, but he looked more desperate than mean. It was like he wanted to just run away, but couldn't. "I'll give you one more chance to surrender," Marzius offered, spreading his arms wide. The thug smiled, lunging forward with his knife. Marzius had seen it coming, but didn't have the reflexes of a trained fighter. He managed to direct the blow so that it only hit his side. Then, he launched another thunder point blank.

Kraft moved slowly and tried to look confused and sad.
"I-I'm s-sorry!" He said to Alexia "I-I really thought, t-they were on my side! I swear! I'll help you! I... liked Sergey..."
Oh boy, I'm really pushing it...

Alexia rolled her eyes, and kicked one of the few remaining thugs. "I believe that much," she admitted. She saw one last thug going for Kraft, and wavered for a few moments. Finally, she flung the hand axe out, catching the thug. He went down hard. Alexia looked at the dead around her, and over at the wounded Marzius. "We still need to head out..." she said. She looked over where Sergey lay.

Kraft went to Marzius.
"Milord, are you okay? I... this... sir... This was not my doing! This must be some kind of vile plan to bring you and me and all of us down! I'm sorry! I... I have nothing to say..."
Kraft paused for the dramatic effect.
"Forgive me for being naive. I'll help you in any way possible. I'll bury Sergey myself, if you want."

Marzius reached into his cloak, brought out his vulnerary, and sprinkled the powder on himself. Soon, his wounds were gone, and he felt whole again. Of course, his vulnerary was the worse for wear. "He's not dead, yet," explained Marzius, moving over to the body.

Ice went down Kraft his spine. Sergey? Not dead? This can't be happening.
For a second Kraft wanted to pull out his knife and stab Marzius and Sergey to death. But he had to play along. He'll get them later. Alone he was worthless.
"Oh, bless you Marzius! Are you sure?"

"Not completely, no," Marzius admitted, bending over the body of the fighter. "I've only received rudimentary training in the healing arts. Still..." He called for the soldiers to bear Sergey to the infirmary. they did so with great speed. "If anyone would know, the healers here would," admitted Marzius, smiling in a reassuring manner. "Now, since it seems that our party has been greatly reduced, we'll have to resort to stealth to infiltrate St. Elimine's headquarters. Are both of you ready?"

"I think I am." Kraft replied. "But Miley, Brad and Maeleeown?" He inquired "Shouldn't we inform if they are willing to go?"

The healers tried to carry off Sergey but were answered with a punch in face. Slowly Sergey got up again. 'Just wait till I get my hands on you, backstabbing little bastard.'

(OoC: Mmm, this doesn't look to good for me...)
Kraft went inside to search for Mae. He had to inform her. He also had to see Sergey. Alexia and probably Marzius were pretty gullible, but Sergey was a different person.
He saw one of the healers getting punched in the face. He tried not to laugh.
"Sergey! Up already? Believe me, but I did not know of the attackt these... these traitors were planning. I am with you... friend." he added silently. He knew that wasn't going to be enough, but a wounded Sergey couldn't hurt him at all. Hehehe.

Attracked by the noise Mae and Jacques run out to where the fight had occured. Seeing many dead and blood on her comrades Mae's hand goes to her lance.
"What in the abandon happened here?!? Marzius are you alright? Sergey you look near dead!" Mae ran past Kraft giving him a icy stare in passing.
"Jacques, heal now!" The man ran forward to Sergey whincing at the sight of the punched healer's face.
"Please don' uh like hit me big muscle man. I just wanna heal you all up." Mae rolled her eyes and goes to Alexia.
"Sorry...What happened?"
