St. Elimine felt the door of her sanctuary open. Her eyes opened, and she looked down at the nearest temple knight. "The heretics are coming, along with one of the lost sheep," she spoke, flinging her hand out. "Go forth and subdue them." Her guards surged forth, leaving her with only two generals as guards. She closed her eyes, and folded her hands in her lap. Hargus's troops would take care of them. And if they didn't... she had a surprise in store. St. Elimine smiled.

Maeleeown's eyes darted to find the trembling Jacques hinding behind a heap of dead "heros" and his horse. Shaking her head she blindly fought off the men coming at her. Not caring about Sergey, not seeing what Kraft was doing, and not even noticing that her wound had not only drenched her clothes but had seeped into the cloak around her.
Mist started rolling in front of her eyes but she blinked hard and continued to fight. With the combination of rage and adrenaline she didn't notice the pain in her side, nor the sticky warmth the blood gave her.

Kraft fell down in front of the guards storming at him.
"Have mercy! I-I did not intend to do this! Please!" He squeeled. He hoped he'll live, but he doubted it. The adrenaline was what brought him back, he was bleeding badly as well. But Kraft had more serious things to worry about.
He fell to the ground and curled up. Waiting for that final strike...

Sergey quickly drew his axe and rammed it into the skull of the first run at them. it was latched tight however and he was jumped by the two others. OoC: Nobody actually read this? ^ It was kinda vital to the post. Oh well... BiC: Sergey watched as Mae fight, the rest were preparing to enter the temple so he supposed he should do something... But watching her lose conciousness and get killed sits so much better with me.

Mae was flung back by a strong hit from one of the soldiers and she slammed to the ground. The mist returned to haunt her but she growled and strugled to stand once more.
"Bloody heros, bloody Elimine, bloody heretics, bloody, bloody bloody..." Cursing a bit more she used her lance to stand and to shield herself from more attacks. Jacques let out a shrill scream as three men found him and were surrounding him with rather nasty looking axes. Her eyes narrow and she charges letting out a battle cry as she went. I refuse to give up, I will Not die!

Kraft dared to look between his fingers only to see the grinning face of one of the soldiers.
"You are coming with me, thief." He said. And took Kraft by his jacket.
"Don't kill me! I love St. Elimine! Someone! Help! Help!" Kraft was actually cowardly enough to humiliate himself. He had seen enough today. And he was bleeding. A lot. The other soldiers stormed out of the door and started fighting Mae, Alexia, Marzius and Sergey. And Jaques. Perhaps.
Kraft was being led away but he resisted a bit, so there was still time...
(OoC: Sergey? Huh? I haven't read that? And something else, you mention 'kraft's friend' in one of your posts, but I'm confused by that. Explain. Please?)

Marzius struck down the guard who had lifted Kraft. "That one's with me, I'm afraid," he said, watching the smoking body hit the floor. He shouldered past the other guards to stand near Kraft. "If you keep babbling like that I might just let them kill you," he told the thief, as he shot another thunderbolt at the crowd.

Alexia finally figured out Sergey's actions, when she saw the ax wedged into a tree near the battlefield. She leaned down, yanking the weapon out. As she straightened, she saw Mae and Jacques were nearly overwhelmed, while Marzius and Kraft were already inside. She quickly moved over to Sergey, trampling a few dead bodies.
She dropped the hand axe at the fighter's feet. "There," she said, and flung her hand axe at the back of a soldier's head. "Jacques! Heal Mae!" she ordered, moving to assist the crowded healer and knight. She managed to wound a warrior with her slim sword, and got a decent wound in return.

Kraft didn't answer. He was aware of his position right now. He remembered again why he had been plotting behind their backs...
He feared them. He feared Marzius. He nodded and got up.
"Ksh, my back..." He said.
Play it safe Kraft, just go for the winning party. St. Elimine will kill these fools, no doubt about it, but Alexia and her little gang seem to be winning right now. I'll better pretend to be a goody.
"I didn't mean all of that! War tricks! All war tricks!" Kraft shouted to Marzius who was attacking several soldiers at once. Kraft idled around a bit, he was wounded after all.

"Kraft, you have my permission to switch sides the moment it looks like we're losing," Marzius told the thief, moving to have the man protect his back, while he threw thunderbolts at the approached mass of troops. They were outnumbered roughly five to one, and would be until the others came in. "Until then," Marzius ducked under a lance, side stepped a sword thrust, and shot a thunderbolt. "Please fight for us. I assure you, it will all make sense momentarily."

St. Elimine could sense the mage near her. The only one who could possibly stop her plan, and he was only a short distance away. Bring the mage and the thief here, she sent the mental command out, using a spell to emphasize the command. I will deal with them, personally.

Sergey also went to relief Mae. He managed to slice through the leg of the Warrior. Then whenhe found a moment he grabbed Jacques and threw him at Mae. 'Get to it, pansy-ass healer!'

(OoC: so, Marzy, how do we deal this plot thingy? Well, I'll leave it to you how we get to St. Elimine. Just drag me along. ) Kraft nodded and started fighting. He was lucky. Most of the soldiers seemed to concentrate on Marzius. He just had to make sure Marzius' back was clear and Marzius would kill anyone approaching. He loathed himself for doing so, but Marzius was more dangerous than the soldiers for the moment. And Kraft loved living. "Sorry bloke." He mumbled while slitting the throat of one of the soldiers. He was fighting desperately. Desperate men are the best fighters. "I'm sorry." He mumbled again while finishing a wounded soldier off. Even though he didn't think highly of killing servants of the might St. Elimine, he was starting to enjoy this...

Marzius and Kraft were slowly being overwhelmed. The mage managed to strike down the first few that hit him, and wound one more so that Kraft could finish him off, but the numbers were catching up. Soon the brave duo found themselves surrounded by troops. "Surrender!" a hero stated, pointing a sword at Marzius. The lord thought fast, and threw up his hands. "We give!"

Alexia flung her hand axe at the last warrior near Mae. Strangely enough, there weren't any more guards outside. Plenty of dead bodies, but no guards. Alexia tucked her weapon into her belt, after wiping it off on a warrior. "Where are Kraft and Marzius?" she asked, riding over to the others. Then she put two and two together... "They're inside, and they're outnumbered. C'mon, heal and move!" she said, steering Night Flight towards the entrance, and surging forward.
