"They say there's some lost tomb of some king from a long time ago. We're going to check it out." hopefully there isn't any spookyskeletons there, or zombies. Hal had more than his share of the undead for three lifetimes in the past week. "I'm going to scout ahead but try to keep you two in my sight." With a few great steps and a hop Sol was airborn, Hal didn't know what to look for he'd never seen a royal tomb before let alone a normal one. He fly for hours, keeping Abel and Treysin in eyesight, he figured Sol would want a break from fly as well as the others from walking so he landed and dismounted. He waited for the others to catch up, they weren't too far behind. "I figured you'd want to take a break."

"Thanks," Abel said between breaths. He was used to traveling but he'd never tried keeping up with a wyvern before. "Any sign of the tomb?" He sat on a conveniently placed rock that was nearby. I hope we find this tomb soon. I wonder what kind of stuff we'll find. Abel wasn't one for treasure hunting, but his friends were curious and he'd follow them where ever. Besides, if there was anything useful down there he wouldn't need it, would he?
Abel sat there for a moment. I hope we run into something so I can test out this sword for real, he thought. Not that I want to be attacked, it'd just give me a chance to be prepared. And then he remembered the note that had fell from his sheath earlier. He reached down to his belt and found it still there. He quickly unfolded it.
M, take care of your brother.
Take care of Him? Abel thought, stuffing the note into one of his pouches. I haven't seen him in years. How would I know where he's at? Let alone alive. Besides, all he ever does is get in trouble. He looked up to the other two to divert his thoughts elsewhere.
"Do you have an idea of where it might be Treysin?"

Treysin shrugged he was just as in the dark as Hal and Abel where. "No sorry, I've only heard vague things back in Pherae," He said as he sat down to catch his breath, "I really hope we find it soon though. I wonder what could be there." He stared off into space for a moment as he imagined what was in there; riches and untold treasures, but none the less they where probably guarded by bobby traps, to stop plunders like themselves from claiming the riches of this king.
With a small smile he looked at Hal, hopefully he knew where they where going and he was willing to follow him as a friend, however, he didn't know how Hal and Abel thought of him. Concerning the harsh way he interrupted Hal and Elesia back in town, he suppose he had a right to dislike him, yet why would he let him come then? And then there was Abel, the two had just met a while back, and he trusted him with his life. I'm ready for whatever comes, Treysin thought confidently, Be it undead, thieves, or guards, I can't let them down.

Hal had wished he had bought some jerky before they left, he was starting to feel hungry but didn't want to ask the other two if they had something to eat. On top of that he saw nothing that could look like a tomb, that is if he knew what one looked like. He shook his head no when Abel asked if he saw anything, he was ready to start going again but wasn't sure if the others were rested yet or Sol, he couldn't ask and get an answer from him. "I'm ready whenever you two are hopefully we find it soon."

"Just a second," Abel told Hal, taking a water skin from his belt and gulping down some water. So we don't know where we're going and there's no sign of the tomb anywhere... he thought, taking one last gulp and capping the canteen. Wait...
"What if it's hidden?" Abel asked. He took his other canteen from his belt and tossed it to Treysin. He tied the one he drank from to his belt and stood up. "Just a thought." He made sure everything was strapped down. "Well, I'm ready unless you guys have some other ideas."

OoC: Trey can catch up on post later if needed.
BiC: Hal climbed on top of Sol once more and took to the skies, it wasn't very long he spotted a hill with what looked to be ruins around it. He commanded Sol to fly in a circle a few times before decending to investigate a bit, it looked a tad bit fancy so he flew high enough to see the other two once again and circled a few more times before landing. Sol took a couple steps forward, "Could this be it? I expected it to be covered in gold or something Hal thought. The cave looked too small for Sol to fit so Hal would have to go on foot, it looked dark so having Treysin's magic would be helpful.
What happened next Hal would have never expected, from one of the pillars next to a bush an arrow came whizzing towards him striking his armor in the left shoulder as four other men came out of what seemed to be nowhere. One of them began to speak "Long lost tomb of the kings, what a fantastic lie to draw in unexpected guest. Tie down the wyvern and leave it with everything you have, including your clothes and we might let you live boy" Hal began to panic, if he attacked first Sol might be struck by an arrow, also would the others make it in time if he could dodge them?

Abel had sped up when he saw Hal circling. I wonder if he found it? he thought as he passed through some bushes. He jumped, there was a man not five feet away with his back to him. He had a bow trained in the direction that Hal had landed. What now? Do I go in fast or sneak up on him? Abel wasn't very good at sneaking, but he did recall his brother trying to teach him.
Use the balls of your feet, like this. Come up behind and put you're hand over their mouth. People freak when you surprise them. So ya, that's what you do. Or just yell something random and jump them. He laughed. Abel smiled at the thought. It was one of the good memories he had of his brother. He had always walked around with a silly grin on his face. Guess I'll do this.
Abel crept up behind the man and put his hand on the man's mouth. He wasn't sure what to do next, but the man sorta decided for him. "MMMPHMMMM."The bandit struggled. Abel had wrapped his other arm around the man's neck, but the bandit immediately elbowed him in the stomach. He gasped for air as the bandit turned and fumbled with his weapon. Abel did the first thing that came to mind. He kicked the man in the chest, sending him off the hill and onto the other bandits.
"Ow," Abel complained between breaths. He went to the edge and saw the other bandits. He quickly looked for a way down.

OOC: Sorry I wasn't able to post till now. Google Chrome is being quite the derp.]
BiC: Treysin, who had been following Abel until he had kicked the man down the ledge. "You alright Abel? I heard fighting." Treysin asked as he ran over to Abel and Hal. This going to be Treysin's first battle, hopefully things would not go bad for him, nor anyone else. Looking over the edge he saw the four bandits, they all seemed to be aggravated at Hal and Abel. Great... What should I do? Treysin wondered as he looked down at the bandits, It would be simple to just shoot a fire ball at them... but I haven't ever killed someone before. I got to do it though... I don't want to let the others down.
And as he contemplated, he began to charge his fireball up, a direct hit would be impossible at the angle he was in, but it was the element of surprise, or a direct hit which could be avoided. The obvious choice was to try and stay hidden, but Treysin remembered what he had told himself earlier. He'd help too, in anyway possible. As he crept towards the edge he felt his heart race, but he took a deep breath to calm himself. He then nodded at Hal and waited for the opportune chance to strike without miss. He just hoped Abel wouldn't get in the way. Friendly fire was not going to be tolerated well.

The chances of survival was greater if he complied with the men, he took the lance and was ready to toss it as Abel showed up from nowhere attacking Tue archer. That was his cue to attack as well, Sol jumped and glided towards them and Hal thrust his lance at a man who dodged it but was knockedbto the ground by the massive lizard. Hal used the opportunity to stab downwards into the man's gut. The remaining men standing started to circle Hal and he took to the air out of their reach, before he could decend once again he noticed the archer standing back up getting an arrow ready. He was going to wait till he fired to dodge and swoop down to attack, he used this moment to break the arrow sticking out from his armor and tossed it.

Treysin noticed Hal had descended and that was the cue to attack as well and without thinking about it he fired his fire spell at the small group that had amassed where Hal and Sol where moments ago. Of course he missed by a couple of meters but that would get the others off of Hal and Sol and directed to he and Abel. As he moved closer to the bandits, which in retrospect wasn't the best idea for him to do, he analyzed the bandits ahead of him the group of three that remained and the archer. As he readied another attack this, time aimed at the archer, he happened to notice that one of the men who had surrounded Hal earlier started this way muttering something as he passed the archer. "What did I get myself into this time?" Treysin asked himself as he waited for him to get within a more suitable range to before attacking.

Abel had decided to wait when he saw the fire appear. He had found a a caution and respect for fire, especially after traveling with Eric. And it was a good thing he did, because one of the bandit was now charging Treysin.
Abel drew his new sword and then stepped of the ledge. He used his hand for support as he landed in a crouched position. The axe man that was making his way toward Treysin turned at the noise. Abel stood up and closed the ground quickly. He wanted to get the first hit in. He swung upwards with both hands, but the bandit brought his axe down, the blade parallel to his body. Abel couldn't hold it up. Between the swords weight and his opponents strength, it was impossible.
The blade moved to the side with Abel as he gave up resistance. The bandit lost his balance and moved forward, falling on his face.

Treysin was surprised when he had saw Abel rush past him and towards the bandit approaching him and as he moved to the side, causing the bandit to fall on his face, Treysin saw his opportunity to attack. He closed distance himself and as he got within a suitable firing range he charged up an attack and fired. The bandit, however, would see it another was. Rather then taking the entire brunt of the attack, he instead rolled to the side, still getting hit but barely. "Damnit," Treysin cursed under his breath as the bandit stood up, and dusted himself off, "Why is it everything I have done missed today?" Ignoring that he knew that he and Abel needed to dispatch this foe before they could help Hal.
Taking a deep breath he needed to focus they had upper hand, if the bandit where to attack him then Abel would come assist him and vice versa. Or at least he would hope, he stared down his opponent as he brushed off the heat.

Abel felt the heat as the fireball flew past him and at the bandit. He spun and charged the bandit who happened to escape a firery grave. We need to take this guy out fast so we can help Hal, Abel thought. It's obvious I need more practice with this sword. He slowed, slipping the blade back into it sheath as the bandit recovered his balance. This needs to be fast.
Abel drew his sword and ducked as the bandit sung at him. This was his chance. He swung his sword upward across the bandits chest, and immediately turned his back to the bandit and stabbed backwards with both hands. He yanked his sword out of the man and moved forward a bit to see what was going on with Hal. He wasn't sure if the slash had gone through what little armor the bandit was wearing, but the stab had certainly connected.

"I think it's uh; no, no this is all wrong. I swear I've passed that weird looking rock 6 times already. I guess I'm not having too lucky a day now am I? No matter, if that tomb has what I think it's worth, then this is definitely worth the pursuit"
*hears sounds of battle just over the ridge*
What was that? She thinks to herself. "I'm probably just hearing things, but maybe not. Those sound an awful lot like the sound of warcrys and agony. I best go check it out. "
As Scar approaches the feint noise a wyvern soars into the sky. Taken by shock she tumbles back onto the ground and holds her head in amusement. Laughter arises as she realizes her fright was so foolish out of context, but what's a wyvern doing here with it's master?
She quickly ran to the scene of the fighting which was clearly visible now. "Dang, bandits. And it looks like a group of mercs or some of the matter trying to defend for themselves. I better go make sure they're already. Scarlet quickly runs over to the group in action, but to her shock she is grabbed by a bandit and slung to the ground. She fights with all her muscle but the heavy and grotesque bandit outweighs her.
"He..lp! Please over.. Here," Scarlet mutters as she is muffled out by the bandit hoping the adventures will respond to her call.
OOC: Hal invited me, sorry for the late intro >_<

OOC: It's cool but hey at least it is nice to have another person join in]
Treysin looked over at the pinned adventurer then back at Abel. "We can't just leave her can we?" He asked as he took a step towards her, "How about you go help Hal, I'll help her." And with that he ran over to assist the young myrmidon. This time having the element of surprise, he readied an attack. He had to be dead on this time or risk hitting Scarlet as well, as he did his heart began to race uncontrollably, this caused his hands to shake. The slightest degree off would mean the difference between hitting his opponent and hitting the captivate the bandit held and with a deep breath he regained control of his shaky hands. This is do or die time Treysin. He thought while he closed his eyes and fired, Of course he had never killed someone before, but he had to be ready for it should he want to stay with Hal and Abel.
The ball of fire managed to hit the bandit square in the back, causing him to tense up and look over his shoulder. There stood Treysin, who looked calm and ready on the outside but was filled with dread on the inside. "Hey ugly!" he called at the bandit, "If your looking for some one to fight then why not take me on!" At this point Treysin didn't know weather that move was sear stupidity or an act of bravery, but either way he got his attention, and he wasn't happy.
