 Well with the cleric back on their side, Venetia can relax a little bit. Although, now she had something or someone else to worry about. The bandit that kidnapped her in the first place. Red Cavalier guy seemed to be capable of taking him out..same with that Nomad. Venetia quickly retrieved the tome she had thrown at the poor guy and dusted it off. Really needs to stop using her books as a physical weapon since that's not what its really used for. Poor books, being used to smack bandits and people on the head left and right. Luckily there were no blood on any of the pages. Without a moment to lose, Venetia flipped over a page, the wind around her formed into a blade and shot toward the bandit.
With this,The sage stepped in front of Rin, backing her up just a bit to keep her away from the bandits and putting some distance between her and the leader. Rin was, after all, still a cleric and incapable of fighting. The least Venetia could do was keep her out of harm's way while assisting in healing. She did still have that heal staff strapped to her belt that was totally forgotten until now. Attack and assist...yea, she can do both. But for now...

O Father Sky, Mother Earth...
I pray that you give me strength. ↣ ↣ ↣ {Sue} ↣ ↣ ↣ ⇘xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx⇙ When the bandit business outside and even the ballista was taken care of by the group, Sue followed her father's lead. The two nomads had picked off most of the archers, so it would make flying a little bit smoother for Julia in the skies. "It's time to take back what's ours." she thought.
Sue was sure that the Sentrians, along with all the others who were left behind could handle themselves. They even had a bishop to offer healing. Any reservations that Sue might have about going forward were quickly shoved aside in the name of pressing on. In the narrow halls of the bandit's hideout, the nomad trooper drew out her sword. It was a better weapon to use on the inside of a building.
The nomad was right behind Rath when he threatened the cleric that was healing their enemies. "Wait, she's unarmed! We can't possibly-"
Sue's speech was interrupted by a few things. First of all, Kierkess broke in. He was about to do something much worse than aiming, he looked like he was going to strike the cleric! Just in time though, Venetia's shout stopped him. "By Father Sky, that was a close call!" she thought. Although Sue was well aware that her mission was not to save the cleric, she would have hated to see innocent blood be spilled.
With a possible crisis averted, Sue gripped a silver sword in her hand and made a charge at the blond bandit, who was clearly the leader of the lackeys the group fought outside. Along with Kierkess's headbutt, she followed through with a swift strike with her blade that would surely have the man reeling.⇗xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx⇖⋙═{Nomad Trooper}═⊲The path ahead shall not be
easy, but I must proceed!
[OOC: Woo! I made a post again! Soon, I'll start writing them more frequently than "once in a blue moon."]

 Harold's eyes flared at the cleric. "You little--!!" Harold reacted the red knight moving and angled his head so that the headbutt wasn't very effective. "Hheh heh hack! Sorry, you'll have to do better than tha-" Unexpectedly, Harold was hit by a second headbutt, this one making a better impact and causing him to be dazed. He then stumbled back from the shove and growled as he shook his head to reorient himself. He barely blocked the nomad girl's sword as she passed by and then rolled away as the wind blade flew forward. As soon as he regained footing, he darted forward and then leaped towards the girl blocking the cleric with furious eyes. He was done messing around.

"You ask why do I not talk much?"_______←« _____ ←« ____ ←« ___ ←« __ ←« _____"...Because there is nothing to say."Rath
------------ The bandit's axe was intercepted by Rath's blade. As he held the bandit boss in check, he turned around, eying Venetia momentarily to see that she was alright, and then looked at the cleric. "You're in danger here. Come." And with that, he just... picked up Rin with his free hand and laid her over his horse, in the front. After pushing the bandit away, he galloped away, through the fort.
There was no point in the cleric being left there, so exposed. The bandit boss had clearly chosen her as the target of his rage, which put her in danger and could make her a hindrance to others. And, with her physic stave, she didn't need to be near the others to heal them anyway. Rath was confident in the abilities of the others to deal with the boss.

Harold stumbled back again, growling at once again being unable to reach his target. As the nomad rode off with the cleric, his eyes widened and he reached out his hand in desperation. "NOOOOOO! RIN DON'T GOOOOOOO!!" His feelings were strange. On one hand, he was pissed that she had betrayed him and he wanted her dead because of it. But on the other, he still wanted her. His mind didn't settle on either hand. He just knew that he was drawn towards pursuing her, regardless of the reason, so he started to charge after her, ignoring the guild members he was currently fighting.

- Kierkess Renvald - If it hadn't been for Rin's healing, Kierkess would probably have passed out by now. Once Harold was out of immediate striking distance, Kierkess eyed his fallen halberd and determined that he didn't quite have the strength or focus to swing it properly right now. That of course didn't mean that he would move away from the battle to avoid being a burden. Taking up his much lighter sword in hand, the red knight kept as constant a vigil as he could on the scene before him. 
Soon, though, Kierkess found himself amazed that the bandit boss was dodging everything thrown at him except the headbutts from before. Seriously, Blondie moved fast for a big guy. The red knight almost wanted to tell the Sage that she'd have better luck just throwing that tome. This would not be an insult - it would be a serious observation on his part. Regardless, seeing how there was no entry for him into the fray, he figured that blocking Blondie's escape route would be the best option. It was unfortunate then that, as soon as Kierkess mounted Bedivere, the bandit tore off after the rescued cleric. Acting quickly, Kierkess just barely managed to ride up a short distance and cover Rath's "retreat".
While the bandit didn't look like he was in a reasonable state of mind, it would take a special Kierkess-esque madness to charge on through a horse and its blood-soaked rider.

Now that the battle between this leader and them were over, Venetia let out a huge sigh of relief. Rin was back on their side, everybody was okay, not dead...least she hoped they weren't dead. She tucked the book in her back pouch and pondered the situation a bit. Reality snapped back when Rath suddenly took Rin upon her horse and ran off.
How cute, knight and shining armor saving the damsel in distress. The sage pushed her cloak over her shoulders to the back and proceeded to follow in the nomad's path. Poor bandit on the ground, what a sick obsession. If he weren't the enemy, Venetia might have bombarded him with questions about his obsession, behavior and why he went to such great lengths. Of course, now really wasn't the time for social observation. That and...did that leader just dart off after Rin?? AND DID THAT RED GUY SUDDENLY LEAVE HER IN THE DUST??
...
Well it wasn't like they got far anyways, seeing as how red guy stopped him in his tracks..or at least tried. Part of her was telling her to throw her books again. Venetia followed after, taking the tome in her hand once more as she followed the leader. Lightning shot down in front of the leader, stopping him for but a moment but enough for the sage to ask him a silly question. "That's quite a strange obsession you have there. If I recall from books..isn't that what someone would call a...'Stalker'? Or perhaps a '*****'?" Curiosity was getting the better of her, didn't stop her from flipping the pages on her tome though.

O Father Sky, Mother Earth...
I pray that you give me strength. ↣ ↣ ↣ {Sue} ↣ ↣ ↣ ⇘xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx⇙ With Rin and her father escaping, Sue could now concentrate on the bandit boss before her. The nomad thought for sure that her sword swipe would have at least grazed him, but she found herself blocked at the last minute. "His reflexes are incredibly fast! I shouldn't take him lightly." she thought.
It was almost amazing how he recovered so quickly from Kierkess's blow too. Those who had this kind of strength were simply frightening. Those who used it for the wrong reasons were even more fearsome.
Sue withdrew, thinking that Harold would pursue her. Knocking her off horseback would have put Sue at a serious disadvantage against someone of his build. Although she was ready for him to charge her, the bandit took off in another direction - shouting the captured healer's name.
"You act like she was here willingly." Sue told him sharply. She looked to Venetia when the wind mage spoke, nodding in her direction. "No matter what you call it, I think it's a bit of an unhealthy obsession." Sue stated calmly as she rode close by Venetia, her sword still in hand.
Kierkess had blocked the entrance, while Sue and Venetia had closed in on Harold. "It looks like you have nowhere to run. You won't be going after that healer, or anyone else for that matter." said the nomad trooper. While Venetia readied her tome, Sue raised her sword. The green-haired nomad sprung forward to strike without a moment's hesitation.⇗xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx⇖⋙═{Nomad Trooper}═⊲The path ahead shall not be
easy, but I must proceed!

"Get outta the WAY!!" Harold roared at the axe knight who had blocked his way. His charge did not let up; he was fully intent on getting passed the man. However, a sudden shot of lightning ahead of him caused him to slide to a halt. He jolted his head back to glare at the mage and savage behind him. Their words meant nothing; they didn't understand. They couldn't understand. That girl was his prize. He had found her and so she belonged to him, that was all there was to it. He could treat her however he liked. When the savage attacked, their steel clashed and as she passed by, he chopped at her, but the horse had already carried her out of his range. He looked around at his foes, grunting heavily, a wild look in his eyes. It was clear he was just about at his limit. He knew the mage was going to attack soon, she was probably already chanting. It was hard enough getting out of the way of her first attack, he wouldn't be able to escape another. However, knowing how the guild worked around teamwork, she wouldn't be able to attack him if he was too close to the axe knight lest he become further injured. (Though that didn't stop her from hitting him with books.) However, he also still needed to get passed the horseman in order to get to Rin. With an infuriated growl, Harold charged towards the man before the savage could come back around to attack. Once in range, Harold began to wildly swing his axe around without any rhyme or reason. It was almost as if he were berserk.

"You ask why do I not talk much?"_______←« _____ ←« ____ ←« ___ ←« __ ←« _____"...Because there is nothing to say."Rath
------------ While the three continued to fight with the bandit Boss, Rath rode over to where the others had just about finished off all the rest of the lot. He sought out the Sentrian trio and moved to where they were. Though their teamwork was dangerously effective, wounds had still been acquired. Seeing this, Rath picked up Rin by the back of the shirt and plopped her in front of them. "Use this." he said simply, unintentionally referring to the cleric as an object.
He then looked away, towards where the boss was being contended with. "The battle is nearly done. The others may or may not need assistance taking out the leader. I am going to determine the status of everyone else." That was all he said before riding off. That was all that needed saying.

- Kierkess Renvald - Noting the lack of form in the crazed bandit's movements, Kierkess had to wonder if Bedivere was in immediate danger. Blondie's flurry didn't seem to care what it hit as long as it opened up a pathway. Logically he could back away and let the sage handle it, but Kierkess really wasn't one for tactical retreat.
Deciding to go on ahead anyway, Kierkess attempted to meet the bandit's blow with his sword. The axe instead went low and predictably struck Bedivere, a result that Kierkess instantly regretted chancing as the horse bucked and sent him flying. Disoriented but with nothing broken that already wasn't, he tried to blink away the girly-feather horses moving in circles around his head whilst Bedivere trotted out of Harold's way. The red knight would certainly have a highlight reel for his role in the overall battle, but it probably would not include this moment.

Oh my goodness, dat guys just not right in the head
Seems like the three of em had quite a handful with this bandit leader. The sage gave off a rather dull expression as he continue to go berserk where he stood and toward the red guy. Well that was lovely, now wasn't it? There was no way for Venetia to get to the bandit without harming big red guy again. Well actually she attacked him with her book earlier, but that was for good reasons. She can't really do the same in this situation now can she...
The sage studied their movements for a bit, holding off on her spells until she could find a right opening to attack. With the way this man was attacking, it was almost too random for her to tell. Her only chance was to possibly count on red guy to back off at some point.
Course, chances didn't really give her any and standing by just watching this moron swing away was just getting plain ridiculous.... "Oh for the love of..." Crazy bandit's back was to her and and red guy was off to the side, completely out of her range...so without another word, Venetia raised her hand, a lightning bolt shot toward his back ,the sage wasted no time to flip the pages of her tome, summoning yet another one directly above the bandit leader in case he miraculously dodged the first one. Should give her other two comrades a clear opening of attack....at least she hoped.

"O great St. Elimine!
I am your messenger!"Sister ۩ Victoria Ѻ ⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹ ф ⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹ Ѻ When all was said and done, Victoria wasn't in the thick of the action, as usual. Actually, she detested the kinds of violence she witnessed on this battlefield, but it was necessary against these evil-doers! Thankfully, the group's efforts all came together. Even if Rath said that Rin's rescue wasn't a priority, he was the one who came riding in.
"I suppose priorities change. I don't know where our lost inventory may be, but some of the others still haven't come out of that place." the bishop thought as she stared at the bandit fortress that was just ahead. For a moment she wondered if those inside were safe, or if they were facing a difficult battle.
Very quickly though, she returned to her duty. She approached Rin with a welcoming smile on her face, putting her hand on the shoulder of her fellow healer. "You look well, fellow Sister! I'm glad you're unharmed. I could use a second staff to help the others."
Victoria turned around, about to go in Julia and Roy's direction. Something stopped her in her tracks though. Rin was in that fortress, wasn't she? Rath was much too busy surveying the area to answer Victoria's questions about what was going on inside, but maybe the other healer of the group could shed some light on the subject.
"When you left, where were the others? They were safe, correct?" Victoria asked Rin. "Some of them might be strangers to me, but Elimine's light heals all! I just hope the last time you saw them, they were all in one piece. Especially that red-armored knight. His charge was the most reckless of all."Ѻ ⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹ ф ⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹ Ѻ Elimine's ⋇ Light "Allow me to bring your
light to this world!"

"...I appreciate it." Rin muttered as she was dropped off, both somewhat embarrassed and frustrated at the manner of which she had been hauled off. While he did have a point about her usefulness, or lack there of, in that kind of situation, she certainly didn't appreciate being thrown here or there and referred to as something to use. But then again, her own personal duty came before any feelings. "Stay still everyone." Rin held up her staff, thankfully still charged with a few more uses, before the trio as their wounds gradually mended as strength returned to them. "And that should do i-"
She had begun to mutter to herself before the orb of her staff splintered and shattered to the ground, leaving a useless chunk of metal. "...And now I'm officially useless without another one." She gave a rather small sigh, straightening herself out as she turned towards the Sister heading her way. "If you would have one to spare, I would be happy to assist you Sister. I'm afraid that the staff I was given by my captors didn't last as long as needed." Rin was acting a bit stiff, a combination of wanting to put on good airs in front of a fellow healer, one who outranked her for that matter, and the overwhelming need for her legs to give out.
"When I was escorted out by our commander, they were engaging the bandit leader. They were right in time to get me away from his... boorish self! Never in my life have I met such a....Ugh!" She collected herself, taking in a deep breath before addressing Victoria once more. "I was able to keep Sir Reckless going, and he's backed by one of the best Wind Sages we have, along with our commander and daughter in a few moments. I believe it will be enough to win the day."
"We just need to do our part here."

Harold ran passed the red knight without a second thought and proceeded his charge towards Rin. However, as he was running, he felt a sudden jolt hit him from behind. The electric charge convulsed through his body and sent him tumbling several feet. Harold grunted weakly, as he struggled to get back on his feet. "No... it's mine... you can't have any of it...! No...!" He pushed himself up, clinging to the stone wall of his fortress, and stared forward with one eye at the people ahead of him. He began to stumble forward. "Rin...." he called, weakly. "You're... MIINE!!" he shouted, while recklessly charging towards her and swinging down.
