Looking around him he was surrounded by pirates, all too weak and not a good fight. Slinging his axe he took out a few of them while laughing.

The pirates brought Matis and the others to where Durban was just in time to see Durban finish off the remaining pirates around him.
In the distance, Roscanza and the others were watching, wondering if those people will be able to kill the berserker.
"If they succeed, you know what to do." he commanded for he basically was the leader now.

Matis took a good look at the so called 'hero' from afar, wielding his mighty huge axe as if it were made of paper. "Athos' claim wasn't off at all. Had Hartmut been less careful, Durban could have easily taken his spot in a second" he muttered, only loud enough for those around him to hear. Namely, Dirk, Katara and Alexia.
"Think we can take him head on, just like that?" Durban had not noticed their presence just yet. But that could change any second now.
"He doesn't seem nearly as fast as Barigan was. That is probably will be our only advantage against him"

Taking one shocked glance at Durban any bravado that Raen managed to muster against the pirates quickly dissipated.
'That's Durban?' he thought in shock 'He makes the pirates look like Dolls and they were plenty for me to deal with... I'll let the others plan this one out; they've managed to make out of situations like this alive before, I'd like that too..
Looking at Saru he hoped he wouldn't do something stupid, it took this long to find him and he wasn't about to have him die.

Saru glanced at Raen and noticed that he had the same thoughts going through his head. 'We're not ready for this. For me or Rae to get involved would be suicide for us. Hopefully the others will come up with something.'
'Maybe we could just sit back and let them deal with Durban, and then when the pirates attack afterwords, we could hold them off, to try and give the others some rest,' he thought. There was no doubt in Saru's mind that they would attack after Durban was defeated. 'Regardless though, I will follow Matis' orders.'

Alexia studied the situation carefully, wincing as the berserker effortlessly wielded his impressive weapon. He looked strong enough to pierce even her armor... and she was not looking forward to getting wounded. Hearing Matis's question, she shook her head.
"Going head on against him will be suicide. We do have numbers, but if we just charge there's a chance one of us will fall," she looked over at Raen and Dirk. "Our best bet is to weaken him with arrows, or at least distract him. Then Matis, Katara, and myself can go close and face him with swords."
She looked over at Saru.
"Unfortunately you're most likely right, I do not foresee you helping too much... and I'd rather not lose you to his ax. If you could find something to throw, you might be able to help the archers..."
She looked back at the berserker, sighing.
"At least berserkers can only use axes, that's another advantage we have on him."

"Gwa ha ha!" The Berserker roared as he swung his axe in a wide arc. "Don't any of you wimps have the guts?! Come on! I'll even give ya the first shot!" He roared with a kind of barbaric laughter that could only come from one who reveled in the primal joy of violence. He hadn't yet notice those who might be his bane, but that could change very soon.

"Ever heard of sarcasm, Alexia?" Matis said, almost with a smile.
"Either way, he doesn't seem to have noticed us yet. That is to our advantage too. Arrows to weaken him while he's on his way to us would be nice. Personally, Dirk should get the first blow in. While he's not looking, he has more undefended spots. And if it comes down to Raen or Dirk, I will go for the safer option" he whispered. Being heard was NOT an option.
Matis had also taken notice of Dirk's second bow. It seemed newer and far bigger than the one he had seen Dirk with last time they had met. "You have more distance with that, right?" he asked quietly.
OoC: Just what kind of terrain is there in the islands? Sandy? Or more of a tropical like place? That'd mean we could be 'hiding' in the scenery. You know, some kind of bush or something.

Alexia nodded in agreement, her eyes flicking over to Dirk.
"Dirk managed to get a few shots in on Hanon, so he should be able to repeat the performance here," she agreed. "You're our strongest fighter, so we'll have to rely on you to do the most damage."
She nodded at the berserker.
"We'd better strike soon, he doesn't seem to be someone known for their patience."

"Dirk is very capable of doing this, I think..." Katara added. "Matis, you and Alexia are no doubt best for the job. Alexia had her defense, and you have the Mani Katti. Those are two great benefits," she added.
OoC: Not a great post, but I can't really do it right now... V.V

Taking out his bow with the enticing fact that he'd end up being part of the first group to attack Raen said, "Well uh, Dirk has a bigger bow so he can get a clean shot from far, I'll just work my way close in the bushes before I take mine - you know, beginner and all..."
'I hoped that worked, otherwise, I'm in for it.' Adding some desperate sense of humor to the situation he remarked to himself 'Now that I think about it, I'm not a bad runner' chuckling he waited for Dirk to make his move so that he could start creeping in.

As he roared in laughter his head turned and he noticed some new people.
"Gwa hah hah! What is this? Fresh meat!" He gave no other command as he began stomping towards them. He did notice the archers and paid them no mind. "If I get hit by one arrows I'm chopping the lot of ya up!" he shouted to the pirates behind him, pointing to the two archers. "I hate archers, fight up front with your brawn ya damn pansies!" And with that he broke into a bull charge at the group. Several pirates began to approach Raen and Dirk.
OOC: Sorry. Terrain where you are is grassy, but it's not far to the sandy beach. There are some bushes and such here, but not a lot.

"Crap! I'll try to keep the pirates off of Dirk and Raen ok?" Saru asked the group. "Hopefully I can give them enough time to get some shots off at Durban while he's fighting the rest of you." 'And hopefully none of us will die,' he thought. With that Saru moved towards Dirk and Raen, intent on keeping the pressure off of them.
OoC: so what kind of terrain is there? i didn't see an answer to it earlier, but maybe I just missed it ^.^

OoC: mostly grass with some sand.
Alexia saw the charge, and immediately moved to intercept it. She dug her heels into Night Flight, and drew her sword, counter-charging the berserker.
She yelled incoherently, trying to get his attention on her. Hopefully the others could actually do something...

After driving the Mani Kati through an incoming pirate, Matis ran to where Dirk was standing, as Saru did the same towards Raen.
Alexia would hopefully fend Durban off long enough for Matis and Saru to secure Dirk's and Raen's position.
Blood was coming and going everywhere. Saru, and especially Matis and Katara, had an edge over the pirates, due to them using swords. Every so often, Matis would turn his sight to Alexia, who had more and more troubles to hold herself against the huge Berserker as time passed.
Hold on just a little longer, please... he thought, cutting a pirate's head clean off the body.
