"Look out your window, there's quite a few" Lishkra said continuing to shout until he was sure everyone would get up. I hope I won't need him, it wouldn't do if they knew about him...yet. Lishkra ran back to his room. He was picking up his staff and straightening his pouches when a flaming arrow came crashing through his window. "Good Gods!" Lishkra exclaimed as he put the fire out with his robes.
"Let's move, we can't wait for the others!" Lishkra yelled at Reaper as he ran down the stairs and to the front door. He moved like a phantom, fast and silent. Lishkra bolted the door shut and slid the metal plank in the slot on the door, hoping to save time.
((I know. Arakratos, I think I might move you up to crew member. You too Keaton, that is, if you want to.))

(( Seriously? That'd be cool biggrin ))
Reaper yelped as a arrow smashed through his window. He grabbed his scythe, leaned out of the window and started shouting. "Ok, that's it! I'M GONNA TOTALLY DESTROY YOU.... oh crap." He dived back into his room, as a flurry of arrows lodged themselves into the side of the building.
"... That's a LOT of bad guys!" He jumped up, running out of his room and down the stairs, glancing around for any possible entry points the bandits could use. "Lishkra! I counted about 10 of them... and they all seem to be good shots with those bows! Almost had one less eye!" He ran up to the door and looked around, seeing if there was anything they could use to barricade it. "It's fight or flight, Lishkra... we might have the advantage, with you helping us... 10 men, I can take... but after my fight before... one slip up and I'd be dead."

Lishkra went to get the couch. He came back a minute later, barely dragging it. "Oh there's more then ten, I'm guessing there's twenty maybe more." Lishkra was trying to stay calm but he started getting hot flashes and sweat beaded on his forehead. "There might be more, but only if the Gods hate us."
"We should probably block the back doo-a splintering noise interupted him. "Damn, they found it. You better be ready to figh-another splintering noise interupted him. He moved swiftly to the left side of the main staircase, down a small hallway that no one had noticed before, and right in front of the back door. The door split inwards, Lishkra rushed back so he was right outside the hallway.
They could use the small hallway as a funnel, but it didn't help that they had expert archers.
((Should we wait for the others?))

Reaper growled, moving after Lishkra, his eyes focused on the door. "This... is going to be fun... Lishkra, can you focus on those that stay at the back, like the archers? I can handle anyone that gets too close."
He rubbed his neck with his left hand, gritting his teeth and moving his scythe about in his right hand. "These guys are going to regret getting me stressed now."
(( Up to you, I'm fine either way... but I can't stay on for too much longer, unfortuantley D: ))

((Let's do some now, and let them join in when we're already fighting. I don't want to leave them out.))
Lishkra reached into one of his various pouches and pulled out some powder. He made odd arm movements with his free arm, he then put the powder up to his nostrils "Meershirak!" he said inhaling the powder deeply. He dissappeared instantly just as the door broke in upon itself. He made more arm movements, although no one but the Gods could see them. "Airius Gustica!" Lishkra's voice seemed to come from nowhere.
A huge hurricane strength gust of wind shot out from Lishkra, knocking down the twelve bandits surrounding the broken door. Two of the bandits impaled themselves by accident. Lishkra stumbled through the hallway, his energy nearly depleted. Luckily he made it past the bandits before they rushed the hallway. He started jogging towards the archers, pain stabbing his chest.
((The bandits are rushing you now.))

((Ok, sounds good to me))
Reaper smirked as the 10 bandits ran at him. They were in a small space, which meant it was easy kills.
"COME GET ME!!!" Reaper roared, lashing out with his scythe as the bandits got to the end of the hall. With nowhere to go.... ZIING!! One lost his head, another one charging past, only to get instantly flattened by a left hook from Reaper.
Two more ran forward, swords drawn. Reaper smirked.
He swung the scythe in a circle, bringing the spiked ball on the end of the shaft between the legs of one of the bandits, before he flipped over, almost like he was using the now horizontal scythe like pole, and landed a kick to the side of the other bandit's head.
"Aww, come on!! I'm weak, slow, and tired... and you guys aren't even getting CLOSE to me!! Seriously? Is the great mercenary Reaper too much for you?" As the remaining bandits managed to free themselves from the corridor, a few of them stumbled backwards, as Reaper finished talking. "What, you scared now?" He started to laugh.
After none of them made a move, Reaper smirked, knowing that the men in front of him had heard his name before.
He just wondered exactly what horror stories they had heard.
He grunted, side stepping an arrow at the last moment. But he just wasn't fast enough, the tip leaving a bloody line across his cheek. "Hmm... you guys are good. Looks like I'll have to stop playing around."

Lishkra made it to the first archer. He silently slid out a large knife and slit the bandit's throat. The bandit tried screaming but only a gurgle came out. Lishkra laid him down gently, then cleaned his blood on the dead man's clothes. He procedded to do the same thing to the other archers.
He had slit five of the archer's throats. There were only five left. He was attempting to slit his sixth victim's throat when he collapsed. The sound of his body falling alerted the archer. He turned around and saw a man flickering visable and invisable.
Lishkra soon became totally visable, for his spell dissapated if he died or became unconcious. Grinning, the archer pocketed the knife and tied up Lishkra. The archer motioned over to the other archers, they came over to him. "Take him to our camp, he should be quite valuable" the archer who found Lishkra said gruffly. The others nodded and threw Lishkra over their shoulders.
They dissappeared into the woods. It would be too late before Reaper even found out that Lishkra had been abducted. One of the bandits looked back and grinned. He dug into his pocket and pulled out a bomb. He lit the fuse and threw it into the middle of the small hallway.
The bandits fled just as the bomb exploded. The hallway collapsed.
((Whew that was a long post.))

Reaper smirked as the bandits backed off, he had them. "What? Scared? Come on, hell isn't that bad..." He laughed, as they turned and fled down the hallway. Reaper walked forward slightly, then everything went black, as a massive explosion sent him flying into a wall.
(( Huzza for tiny posts... and now I must sleep, so, this is a good point to leave it at biggrin Tomorrow will be fun ))

(So much for letting anyone else get in on the battle... I'm sorry that I had homework and needed sleep so I'd be alert for classes.)
Klaudia fell to the floor as the building shook from the explosion. She swore and crawled to the stairs. She grabbed the banister and tried not to fall as she hurried down the stairs. She'd been searching for a bow, but the only ones she'd managed to find were in bad shape and she hadn't found arrows. At the bottom, she limp-hopped to where the tunnel was and yelled. "Anyone alive in there?!"

(( Oh, it's far from over... *evil laugh* biggrin ))
Reaper grunted, his vision blurry. "Ye... yeah! I'm here!" He shouted out, but just. He rolled over and crawled from where he was lying, managing to get away from the dust and debris. He started to cough, small patches of blood landing on the floor. "Ah... dammit..."
Reaper then took a sharp breath. "Lishkra! He's still outside! We've gott-" He was cut off, as his left leg gave way as he tried to stand up. "Dammit! Come on... MOVE!" He shouted at himself, forcing his leg to move, to take the pain. "Stay here! Lishkra could be in trouble!"

(( 4laugh You guys love me!? Oh my gosh I feel so special! Lol))
Lishkra woke up to a camp fire. He had a gag in his mouth and he was tied up. He looked to his side just as a bandit kicked him in the side of the head. Lishkra blacked out.

((>_>...))
Seza had followed Klaudia since she was upstairs as well. She listened to Reaper once she got close enough to him to hear."Why should we wait here if Lishkra is in trouble? We aren't the ones hurt," she asks him and helps him up from the ground.

(( Yeeeeah...... *side steps away* ))
Reaper panted, shrugging off Seza's help and limping towards the door. "Because... if they can do this to me..." He shook his head, not finishing. In silence, amd with a rather large stuggle, he cleared the front door of its barricade, quickly opened it, and was round the back of the inn.
No sign of the bandits, and no sign of Lishkra. "Damn... need to find them..." He sighed, rubbing his eyes with his left hand.

Klaudia limped after him. "You're not going anywhere without me." Her face flushed in embarrassment again. "They came here because of me, so I'm going to deal with them. Help me find a crossbow that works, along with arrows for it. Any bow will work, actually."

((You mean bolts? >.>))
Lishkra woke up again, but this time with a bad headache. Right in front of him was a cocked crossbow with a string attached to it. If he moved it would fire. Well, this is bad. I don't think they'll even know where to look.
They'll probably get killed by some ghouls in the forest. Lishkra sighed deeply and closed his eyes.
