Matis had to react. FAST. He could simply keep the sage pinned to the ground. But if he actually unleashed his magic there and then, both of them would be in pieces in less than a second. Yet, he knew that he couldn't simply let Lumino be. To make matters worse, he wasn't in the best position to attack. It's hard to maneuver with a lance when you are lying on the ground.
He punched the sage in the gut and rolled to the side, aiming to get the casting canceled. He stood up as fast as he could and got a grip of the Steel Lance, trying to get a finishing blow.
If you simply go about killing them how are you any different from them? "Damn..." he muttered, as he simply aimed for the glowing red book.

"What IS that?" The captain of the ship asked to his man.
The boat wasn't all that big, but held about 12 men. They saw some fires in the docks and decided to go check it out. By now they were controlling all passing ships and then something strange happened. A little ship, took off from the coast. How the hell did it survive the fire? The captain had given orders to go check this little boat out. And then, only a few metres away, he saw that it was filled with armed men. And a dead one. No doubt these were the bastards who had started the fire and were fleeing right now. He grinned. His ship was faster. He and his etrurian sailors would show these little bastards a lesson. And then he would get a medal from the Prophet... perhaps?
"You! Surrender!" He yelled at the boat.
He really hoped they would.

Dirk saw a boat full of Etrurian soldiers headed toward them. "Let me handle this, but stop me if you think I'm saying something stupid." he said to Richter. "Hey! Soldiers! We're just four travelers who barely escaped the fight going on in the port. There was a mage down there who killed several other Etrurian soldiers with a spell of ice, could you please help the civilians or something? Our ship will stay right here, and I'm injured, so we won't try anything."

Richter nodded at Dirk, then faced the man on the other boat. He decided to be blunt without giving anything away. "We were caught up in the crossfire of the fight over there, and in order to get away from the warriors attacking us, we hopped on this boat to get out of range." Richter sat down on a barrel on the boat. "I really don't want to cause any trouble."

The captain, who considered himself to be a rather intelligent person 'mmm'd. It could be true what they were saying. But they looked kind of... weird. And there was a dead man in the boat. That was really weird. He and his man adjusted speed so that they went just as fast as the so-called civilians.
"What's up with the body then? He a friend of yours?"

Hiro and Zeiss had been wondering around Etruria with no lucky of seeing people. As they entered what looked like a port city under attack Hiro quickly became happy. "I've got ummm... Things to do. You're on your own buddy." Hiro kicked in the first door he saw and ran in. Opening his bag he dumped everything he didn't need, what ever wasn't worth much left his bag. Digging in what seemed like the master bedroom he found cheap earrings, broken watches, scratched up rings, and what seemed to be a wyvern sized woman's underwear. Hiro shuddered at seeing that.

Richter stared the captain in the eye. "He was killed in the chaos," he said. He turned towards the battle and held out his hand towards it. "With that battle going on, is it really that hard to believe?"

Dirk shifted Kabold around on the boat and sat on the bottom. He looked through Kabold's bags, but found no bandages. Sighing, he untied his bandanna and wrapped it around his arm after wetting it with some canteen water. The bright red words stared at him from the side of the bandanna that was normally on his forehead. The cloth of the chieftain, Dirk. Under it was a list of all the chieftains of the Sutolah tribe, only the first was actually named Dirk. Next to it was the one thing that made them great. Most notably were the last two on the list: Sel - Gave his life to protect the tribe from bandits. Blue - Nothing was written, Dirk pulled a feather pen and red ink from Kabold's bag and wrote on the cloth. Blue - Tried his very best to help defeat Hargus, injured in his bravery.
Dirk smiled.

OOC: Alexia and Katara die?
IC: The lance ripped through the book, which burst into flames. Unfortunately this gave Lumino time to spring to his feet, facing Matis now. They were separated by no more then five feet. He looked at the charred book, and shrugged tossing it aside.
"Ah well, who has time to read these days." He said with a smile, staring down Matis.
Then he pulled back and made to reach for his ice blue tome again, this battle was going nowhere fast.
One way or another this had to be finished, and the sooner the better. They'd only get assistance from the government as time went on, and that was not something he needed to deal with.

Sireace had been watching the goings-on as the small boat shifted and swayed in the slightly churning water. She had quickly covered her face when they had come into contact with the Captain, no need to cause more trouble then they alreayd had. She raised her thin eyebrows at Ritcher, asking a silent question but her facial expression. 'What do we do?'

OoC: I was waiting for Marzius to post.
IC: Seeing as though Marzius had not reacted for a time, Katara bound his feet and gagged him. She looked over at the ship about to dock, and could only pray that it was not full of more enemies. "Matis, watch out!" She yelled, noticing that Lumino was reaching into his robe for something. Something deadly, no doubt.

OoC: meant to post after the Alexia one, must have forgotten. And I got stuck on the alexia response. Besides, Sain and Albel are as quiet as ever. >.>
As Lumino jumped backwards, Alexia aimed another thrust with the butt of her lance at the back of his head. She hoped to catch him by surprise, having waited until he was done grappling with Matis. It looked like they were getting lucky, which is what they'd need to succeed. It certainly helped that the reactions of several of their opponents seemed to be delayed, for some reason.

As usual, the battle was not going Marzius's way. His luck simply did not hold out in these circumstances, which went a long way toward explaining how he'd died so quickly into his journey.
Being hit and trussed up by a woman would have been more entertaining, under different circumstances. It certainly stunned him enough that he couldn't react properly. One could hardly cast spells with bound hands. All Marzius could do at this point was glare at people and attempt to kick his captor. What had happened? They were winning!

Sure, it's not a good idea to watch a battle from a distance with jaw dropped, but Rayl had apparently zoned out, but now had regained his senses, taking notice of the second boat which was now in contact with his own little group. Friends? Enemies? From the distance he couldn't make out if what they were saying...but back to the fight. Their group was starting to win the battle, however, that strong mage, Axe-wielder (One of the main reasons Rayl wasn't going to hop into the fight at the moment), and the one man (at least...he thought Albeil was a man...couldn't tell in the dark) on the horse remained. The Swordsman and the beautiful Paladin were fighting the mage, whereas the swordswoman had tied up the man who had been using the light magic...Bah, he had to find a way to help out somehow, even if he wasn't as skilled as the other fighters...

Richter looked at Sireace calmly and motioned downwards with his palm. There was no need for worry. He could see about 10 people on the boat, and assumed there were probably a few more below deck. If worst came to worst, they'd sink the enemy boat and make an escape. They'd first target the sail lines, then the soldiers.
