"Kraft recruited some 'help,'" Alexia explained, waving her hand at the surrounding corpses. "His help didn't appreciate our comments about St. Elimine, so they attacked us. They managed to wound Marzius pretty bad, and we thought that they'd killed Sergey. Thankfully that's not so." She looked over at Mae. "And now we need to quit fighting one another and go after St. Elimine. Enough thugs escaped that they could warn them," she looked over at Sergey, who was fuming, and then to the palace. "Sergey, we need Kraft to help in the battle. We don't have proof that he betrayed us. For now let's focus on taking out one enemy."

Marzius hurried over to Kraft, grabbing the thief by the cloak. "Quit cowering and apologize for recruiting the wrong sort of people. Then, we need to attack St. Elimine. If we don't hurry she'll be ready and she'll slaughter the Elite Guard and us!"

'Oh, for crying out loud.' Sergey cried falling back into his portable bed (apparantly I have been moved on something, so...). 'Erm... Now? The healer with the black eye asked carefully. 'YES, NOW YOU MORON!'

Kraft nodded. The nervosity was getting him.
"Y-yes, Marzius..."
I'll get you all, heretics.

"There," Marzius said, looking to Sergey, "he apologizes. Finish healing him, then we have to get going. Time has become an enemy now, and I don't plan on losing that fight."
Marzius already started heading for the road, certain that the others would start following.

Kraft started hopping along and got close to Mae.
"Mae, I know what this looks like, but we have to talk."

Alexia's horse was finally brought to her from some servant. She tried not to be over excited at the reunion with Night Flight, and only squeaked a little. She quickly mounted up, looking back at Jacques as he finished healing Sergey. "The servant's brought out your horse too," she told the healer, "we need to get moving, so as soon as you start healing follow us!" She began following Kraft and Marzius.

'Your wounds have been healed but I advice you too stay here and rest, you have lost much blood.' The healer was awarded with another black eye. 'I don't have time for this, if I wait any longer all the good enemies will be taken.' Sergey climbed onto his horse and sped off after Alexia.

(OoC: I guess I have a horsey as well?)
Kraft didn't wait for Mae to answer since everyone was leaving. He quickly followed them and signalled Mae to follow as well. So, it came down to this. All or nothing.

OoC: If you really want to, you might be able to hitch a ride with Jacques. Thieves have great mobility though, they should be able to catch up with us.
Marzius risked a glance over his shoulder, and was glad to see that the entire group had followed him. "Good, I was hoping I wouldn't have to take on all of St. Elimine's power by myself," he muttered as he continued walking.
OoC: New Thread!

Alexia led the battered "New Dawn," back to the palace. They went barely noticed through the streets. After all, they were simply scruffy individuals, more like mercenaries and less like heroes. But they still made it back to the palace. Once there Alexia hopped off Night Flight, and helped a struggling Matthias do the same. "We're here to report to the leader of Etruria," she informed the guards, who scurried off to find said ruler.

Matthias hadn't been to the palace before, but was impressed by its splendor. "They really ain't expectin' an attack, are they?" he asked Alexia, grinning. He stretched his aching limbs. "Man, it'll be good ta relax fer a spell..." As he spoke, a bloodied messenger ran up to the palace gates, yelling for attention. "Or not..."

Mae had joined Jacques on his horse and was nearly asleep when they had arrived back at the palace. Jerking awake at the yelling servants she slid off the horse quickly.
"What now?" Her hand instantly went for her lance ready to fight again.

"What now?" Alexia demanded in unison with Mae. To be honest, what she wanted right now was a warm bath, some food, and some time to be girly. Perhaps she could wear a dress and bat her eyelashes at somebody who's name wasn't Matthias. The servant blanched at the outright burst from the two females. "Umm... we just received word that Santaruz was attacked by Bern..." the servant explained. "Yeah, so what?" Matthias cut in. Alexia elbowed him. "Do we have any idea how they're faring?" "No, m'lady..."
As the servant bowed again, another messenger scurried up. "Lady Alexia? This missive came for you," he handed to letter to the paladin. Alexia unrolled it, and read the simple text out loud. "Meet me at the Sacean plains, I have heard of your good deeds, Ethward," she looked at her two companions. "Do we know an Ethward?"

"Hell no. That's obviously some dumbass's idea of a clever trap!" Matthias snapped, snatching the paper from Alexia's hand. "But if it's a new ally..." the paladin argued. Matthias glared. "Fine, if you wanna play with him go ahead. I'm gonna head ta Santaruz. It sounds like they'll need my help there," he glanced over his shoulder. "An' I think I'd better get goin' now. The high-ups here don't know me. 'sides, I'm a little worried 'bout Ostia and home..." He started back out of the palace, looking over his shoulder. "Seriously, watch your back if you accept that thing," he told Alexia. "We've buried enough friends... An' ya might wanna take random hot girl wit' ya."
Matthias left Etruria Palace.
