While Colmaz was idealistic, he wasn't idiotic enough to try and resist. He could chug one of his few agility potions and probably get away, but the motion of reaching for his potion bag was sure to set off a few alarms and probably get him killed in the process. He had no choice but to go with the lizardmen.

"This isn't the friendliest way to start business dealings," he said sourly, but he offered no resistance.

The lizardmen nodded and led him out the city, one stood in front of Colmaz and the other behind him in case he would try to run away.

After an hour or so of walking, the two lizardmen reach a man dressed in red plate mail armor. His entire body was covered by the armor, except his head. The man had crimson eyes and crimson colored hair.

"Ah, hello, my good man!" The man greeted Colmaz. "I am Sssalivan, currently in my human form right now." He says. "O have a question for you and I need you to answer me honestly, do you really think that you and 50 wyverns can defeat me?" He asks. "After all, I defeated the Avatar of Evil, or as you know him King D, and the Avatar of Death on my own." He said, still smiling.

"Well, actually, we were hoping to skip the whole "defeat" part and negotiate with you for the sword," said Colmaz, trying not to anger him. "I think we'd stand half a chance in a fair fight, though."
He cleared his throat. "Was that all you cared to ask me, or is there something else you wanted?"

"No, I have something else to ask of you." He says. "Join me..." He said smiling. "Everything you want will be yours. I was planning on hibernating, but since everyone wants me up and about, then why not give them a good show... What I mean, will you help me take over?" He asks. "I will personally make sure you will have whatever you want and/or need, so what say you?"

@Claw2k11

"Right." Maryvale might be so terrible at directions that she could get lost on a straight path, but when she could see the enemy and entered combat mode, she was like a heat-seeking missile in the tundra hunting an elephant. And, surprise surprise, she just so happened to be ready to fight.

Drawing the Dark Vibrance, Maryvale charges straight ahead, using the arrows fired for guidance until she was upon her target. If her directions were off, however, she wasn't afraid to follow one of the others.

Iosef grunted, and tossed the blade almost unwillingly towards the golem, before walking onwards...if there was an onwards room next.

If not, he'd just stand around, with his hand on the handle of his blade.

"Well, I'm not against the idea, but I'm not sure what use I could be to you. I'm not much of a fighter. Besides, all I really care about is my alchemy, and I don't know how you could help with that. My other motivation is Soulstealer, and I have a feeling you're not too eager to give that up. Unless, you'd like to make a trade...?"

And as soon as she charged towards Anna, a barrage of light arrows fly towards Maryvale and she could se Anna forming another barrage to fire at what she considered her enemies.

Iosef grunted, and tossed the blade almost unwillingly towards the golem, before walking onwards...if there was an onwards room next.

If not, he'd just stand around, with his hand on the handle of his blade.

However, in case he didn't notice there over fifty people around him all on the edge, if he took even a step, he would most likely be attacked by one of them.

"I'm always willing for a trade, though it depends what you have in mind." He says, still smiling. "But please, make it a fair trade..."

Iosef wasn't particularly too distraught about the situation, since he was half expecting a complication like this.

"Well, I don't agree with Fate on the issue of just getting things handed to me, so go ahead : take the blade while I still don't have it. Go on. First one wins a lordship, right? I don't need that..."

"I'm always willing for a trade, though it depends what you have in mind." He says, still smiling. "But please, make it a fair trade..."

Colmaz was happy that Sssvalian seemed to be a reasonable fellow. Unfortunately, Colmaz was beginning to be a bit too trusting of the man in red. The alchemist wondered what he actually had to offer.

"What if we -myself, and my two companions- complete a set number of tasks for you? Once our number is up, you trade us the blade. Would that be fair enough for you, or do you want to add something?"

@Claw2k11

Maryvale's response to that was simple: just send the same amount of dark magic back. With a powerful slash from Dark Vibrance, she sends dark magic straight at Anna, on a collision course with her own light magic arrows. She wanted to give the others time to advance and make a move whilst she cancelled out Anna's attacks. Hopefully.

"Or..." He said pausing. "You and your friends swear allegiance to me and I will give you Soulstealer, plus a few extra powers that will allow even you to battle. What do you say?"

Upon hearing that, most of the mercenaries began to whisper around and stare at one another, ready to backstab each other at the mention of getting a lordship.

The first to make a move was the massive man, Gorun, who smashed one of the men next to him. With that, everything erupted into chaos, many of the men starting to attack on another.

Only the orc, the twin humans and female elf didn't go on a rampage and instead protected the human in front of them from any attacks.

During the fight, a man was now charging towards Iosef, sword drawn and a crazed look on his face.

And the dark magic collided with the light arrows, truly giving them the rest to charge at Anna, however, before long, Lightspawn(think light elementals) appeared for each warrior present on the battlefield, thus canceling their numerical advantage.

@BlackPanther

The arrows hit him and because the arrows were energy arrows and not simple arrows, they hurt Knight quite a bit, however thanks to his thick scales, the damage they did was mostly superficial.

The avian, using her skill and agility had managed to dodge the attacks, however, that meant that Anna's strikes kept her from attacking.

"Dragon, please attract her attention, I have a strike that will definitely hurt her!" The avian said, loading three black arrows on her bow. The arrows emanated pure darkness, the opposite to what Anna was shooting.

@Claw2k11

Iosef, having already given away the night elf blade to the golem, draws his own bastard sword and lunges at him with a stab, using the deceptively longer blade to his advantage.

<Snipped quote by iotas>

"Or..." He said pausing. "You and your friends swear allegiance to me and I will give you Soulstealer, plus a few extra powers that will allow even you to battle. What do you say?"

Colmaz thought about it. After some deliberation, the alchemist said, "I would need to ask my companions for their opinion first, of course. It wouldn't sit right with me if I were to decide their allegiances for them."

"What about you?" He asks. "Do you swear tour allegiance to me?" Sssalivan asks. "After all, my servants need to know who not to kill later when they torch this city to the ground."

@Claw2k11

Iosef, having already given away the night elf blade to the golem, draws his own bastard sword and lunges at him with a stab, using the deceptively longer blade to his advantage.

The sword enters through the mercs chest, who in turn drops his blade and spits some blood in Iosef's face before falling to the ground himself.

"Shouldn't you get Earthrent now?" The bald priest asks. "This is gonna be hard to get through even after you get it!"

@Claw2k11

Ioef sighs, and walks on ahead, wary of any oncoming attackers.

"What about you?" He asks. "Do you swear tour allegiance to me?" Sssalivan asks. "After all, my servants need to know who not to kill later when they torch this city to the ground."

Colmaz wasn't very happy about the notion of murdering civilians. He shifted his hand into his potion bag slowly, trying not to draw attention. He thought of all of the possible outcomes, and was uneasy when he realized that most of them concluded in his death.

"I'd need to talk to my friends first. If they agree, than you can put me down as a definite yes. Power and fortune and such," he said. "I should talk to them at once." He backed away from Ssvalian slowly.

Connor would then run towards the hobgoblin, shouting for the orc, twins and elf to follow. "Kill these bastards with the sword! We have to get out of here, then we can go get Darkstalker and we can destroy the bloody kingdom! Both of us'll rule together!"
@ByTheSpleen

@Simple Unicycle

Iosef turns towards Connor, but after listening to his proposal, runs on ahead. No way in hell did he want to manage an entire world.

Knight snarls as the arrows hit him. Then with a nod to the avian he unfurls from blocking and roars trying to attract Ana's attention. Figuring that if he breathed fire that would cause her to dodge and move away from the avian'a lines for attack.

@Claw2k11

Maryvale cared not for the Lightspawn. Instead, she was going to do something most would consider completely idiotic. "Elve! Cast a dark immunity on our allies!" She orders, protecting him from the Lightspawn should it attempt to interfere, as well as Anna.
