Makeen looks onwards to Etor's display, perhaps momentarily enamored by the other young man's showing. No doubt considering new ways to exploit this knowledge for his gain. . . Much as he incants healing thaumic words, flesh quickly scarring over the wound as an arrow is pushed out of Lyun's shoulder.
MAKEEN casts HEAL on LYUN, healing him for 6 VIT. MAKEEN gains 14XP and 1 Thaumaturgy Weapon XP!

GAO-LUBAAN trades IA for their BRONZE HAND AXE. GAO-LUBAAN attacks LANCE CAVALIER #2 with their BRONZE HAND AXE and hits, killing them!
IA: 'So be it, I'll just have yours then!' Her voice, surprisingly flighty despite the situation as she takes another of her men's throwing axes.
IA trades AKMAAN for their BRONZE HAND AXE and attacks the AXE BRIGAND #3 for 11 Damage!AXE BRIGAND #3 counters with their BRONZE HAND AXE but misses!

HELLIONS PHASE

COMMENCE




The sight of Etor's first successful use of mysticism in the midst of battle is a grisly one to say the least. . . As Makeen mends Lyun's wound, the ex-bandit Ashür slinks past them, interposing himself purposefully between the young spearman and his perished quarry. "Fine enough work." He states simply, flicking his curved blade out in that direction. "Come along, there's more pigs to test thyself on over yonder burning village."

ASHUR moves to N-11 and attacks HUNTER #2 with his BRONZE CURVED BLADE, hitting and dealing 5 Damage! He gains 10xp and 1 Blade Proficiency!

BALATHU moves 6 spaces to C7



Seeing the swarm of enemies closing in on the hulking figure of Balathu, a tiny voice in Siris's mind—echoing his father’s cautious training—whispered that this could go south quickly. But that voice was swiftly drowned out by the roar of his own bravado. As Balathu slowly backed away to avoid being surrounded, Siris charged forward, a grin spreading across his face. There was only one way to came to his mind to save his ally Balathu from being massacred by the bandit squadron

Siris: "Balathu, my friend, stand aside! This is where I shine!"

Charging headfirst into the thick of the enemy squad might have seemed suicidal to anyone else, but Siris was no ordinary warrior—he was Siris, after all, and no one could best him in combat even if he was wounded; or so he thought. His confidence surged, swelling into a near-delirious certainty. How could anyone stand a chance against drastic odds if they did not at the very least have complete confidence in oneself?

Siris: "Don’t worry, I’ve got this! These fools are no match for me!"

Instead of drawing his sword, Siris opted for his twin daggers—reliable companions in a fray like this. Without the burden of his heavy armor, he felt himself to be a blur of motion, his speed his greatest weapon against the mob. His eyes locked onto the first target—a scout who had somehow slipped through his grasp earlier.

Siris: "Ah, you slippery rat! Escaped me once, did you? Yet you chose to plunder a village right under my nose? A fatal error, one you’ll not live to regret!"

Before the bandit could fully turn, Siris had already unleashed one of his daggers. It sailed through the air and buried itself in the bandit’s throat, silencing him instantly. As the body crumpled to the ground, Siris noticed a book tumble out of the bandit’s satchel. He made a mental note to examine it later, after he'd finished the fight.

Pulling another knife out so he once again had one in both hands, Siris turned his gaze to the remaining bandits, the dull ache of his recent wound all but forgotten in the extreme rush of battle.

Siris: "One down, three to go! Now, come on! Show me you're worth the effort of this warm-up!"
Siris moves to D12. He attacks Thief #1 with his throwing knife killing him and healing for 9 hp

Zarif



The village burned as Zarif trotted away, that feeling of growth and accomplishment he'd felt at his kill mere moments ago turned to ashes, like the timbers of the collapsing barn at the edge of the small town, engulfed in ravenous flames. The merchant gritted his teeth, getting the small folk involved in such butchery as this was always sad. Unlike his allies here, they had little to gain and everything to lose from these things. He drew an arrow, hoping to make a doomed, too-far shot for some vain revenge on the theif who'd done the deed, but he already lay motionless next to one of the buildings, one of Siris' trusty throwing knives burried deep in his skill.

Zarif: Good throw, friend.

He and the soldier had a bit of a rivalry going, sure, but he did have respect for the sturdy swordsman. Each enemy he slew seemed only to give him more strength, not exhausting him like the merchant himself. He wished he had that kind of drive. Still... this was a sticky situation. Several enemies were fast approaching, neither he, nor even the sturdy Siris could take all these blows. Maybe he could draw their fire, lead a few of them away from Siris, and get some of the heat off of him. Of course... he could be setting himself up for danger but Siris... he's been so brave standing there on the front lines, Zarif felt a tad inspired, and a hint embarrassed, up here on his perch, though he would never admit it.

He galloped towards the enemy swordsman, and landed two painful, but ultimately nonfatal shots to his abdomen, before turning tail and galloping in the opposite direction. He shouted foul exclamations as he did, doing his upmost to goad the swordsman into taking chase

Zarif moves to C-12 and attacks the SWORD BRIGAND #3 with his Bronze Short Bow, hitting twice and dealing 13 damage (+1 from momentum), and earning 10xp. He then moves to C-9.

Iddin takes deep breaths, trying to calm down a bit as his mercenaries charge recklessly into the enemy. Fortunately, Balathu retreats directly to Iddin's position. The priest seals his wounds quickly, but with far more care than applied to Zarif.

Iddin: "Feel the embrace of Zuzu! Be repaired, so that you may be the vanguard of his might!"

Iddin stays on C6 and casts Heal on Balathu.
Balathu gains 7 VIT (23/23).
Iddin gains 15 EXP and 1 Theurgy, losing 1 Heal durability.

The amazement and ecstasy that came from the completion of Etor exercising magic was not outwardly celebrated. He used the momentum to continue combat. The young spearman swings his weapon at the nearest enemy using two hands and in mid swing he let go with one hand to allow the shaft to travel to it's very end to strike the hunter. Etor's eyes are ablaze with the excitement of battle.

Etor hits Hunter #2 for 10xp

Astride a goodly horse enshrouded in fine silks dyed a luxurious blue, a dignified fellow wrapped in silver-trimmed armour trots their way through the scrubland besides the brigand leader Kurgazu. The bowman is rather stunned by the horseman's sudden appearance, but readjusts himself as the battle with the Kassites continues admidst the treeline ahead.

Nabû-kudurri: "You are certain that lowly girl is the correct one this time?" His voice drips with disdain, condescension for the man beneath him.

KURGAZU: "More than certain! She'll be yours in a matter of moments ser - as soon as we fell her hulking aides."


Nabû-kudurri: "Is it we now?" The horseman muses, squinted eyes gazing westward across the ravage farmlands and their steads, each and all fallen to oblivion. "I see my men ahead dealing with the barbarians, while yours pillage Akkadian lands! Were it not for your use in tracking my quarry. . ." He flourishes his gleaming blade of encrusted jewels to the bowman's neck from astride his mount. "I would run you through. Finish the job - did you even realize a band of sellswords have begun slaughtering your pitiless ravagers?"


KURGAZU: "We-we will not fail you o' lord!" Kurgazu lifts a pair of fingers to his lips, a piercing whistle sings over westward, alerting his men.

ASHUR: "You aren't finished yet boy." The desperado's words call out to his young pupil.

"Let us hem this one in, our boy's could use some target practice - Let's at least get something valuable out of this farce." The sub-captain swings his blade with a wild abandon, merely to impose the bowman, hoping his allies will take after him.

As Siris readied himself for the three opponents advancing on him, his eyes caught the sight of the two closest ones— a bandit swordsman and a mage—abandoning their charge to pursue Zarif instead. For a fleeting moment, Siris stood in disbelief. It was rare for someone to risk their life to save him, especially by themselves. Most soldiers he'd encountered in his life lacked such boldness, and those who did often paid with their lives. But Zarif, a merchant by trade, had stepped into the fray not to flee, but to fight for him. He was a man who wasn't a soldier, who competed with the trained Siris on the battlefield, and who now was risking his life for him. This bizarre turn of events stirred feelings he hadn't felt in a long time, acknowledgement with a hint of rivalry. Zarif wasn’t just a companion on the battlefield; perhaps he was more-mayhaps someone Siris could count on. A small smile creeped on Siris's face

Siris: Not bad.

But the moment was fleeting. A whistling sound drew Siris's attention back to the fight as an axe hurtled toward him. He barely dodged, quickly launching his dagger at the brigand who’d thrown it. The distraction caused his aim to falter, and the brigand dodged, though it left him off-balance. Seizing the opportunity, Siris charged, feinting a strike at the throat but instead driving his other blade into the bandit's leg. As the brigand cried out in pain, Siris turned his attention back to Zarif, who was now in dire straits—wounded by the swordsman and being scorched by the mage at close range.

With a yell, Siris sprinted toward the pair.

Siris: Ignoring me? Insulting me on the battlefield will cause you to have a painful death!

While moving he saw Balathu moving in to engage the swordsman, now revitalized thanks to Iddin’s healing. Siris now knew where his focus was needed. Sword in hand, he dashed at the mage, who barely had time to react thanks to Siris's yelling. With a swift slash, Siris carved a wound across the mage's chest, taunting him with the promise of a swift death if he accepts his fate.

In desperation, the mage unleashed a torrent of flames. Siris braced himself, reversing his grip on his sword and using it as a shield over his forearm. He places both his arms and sword in front of his face as protection. He sprinted through the fire, eyes squinting against the heat as his body instinctively shielded his vital areas. Relying on intuition, he slashed through the flames, severing the mage's arm. With a fluid motion, Siris adjusted his grip and slashed across the mage’s chest, then spun his sword upward in a final, brutal strike that sent the mage collapsing into a pool of his own blood.

After a deep breath or two, Siris glanced down at his chest, where a previous wound had been cauterized by the mage's flames. The pain was intense, but for now, it was distant—a mere echo beneath the surge of adrenaline. His shirt had a more unfortunate fate however, having been turned into cinder.

Siris moves to D11. He attacks Mage #1 with his Bronze shortsword dealing 12 damage, the mage counters for 8 damage, Siris hits again for 6 damage killing the mage and healing 6 health.

Etor seizes the opportunity and comes around to flank the sole hunter. He leaps into the air to stab the hunter through their torso. The defeated hunter slinks down the spear and folds in on themselves, his lifeless eyes staring towards their comrades. The young spearman breathes a deep sigh of relief and smiles at everyone sheepishly.

"This is going well?"

The boy makes bigger steps by the day, and Lyun acknowledges so by nodding at his words. The voices from beyond the creek grow louder as they close the distance, though another cadre of bandits blocks the way.

Lyun equips his Bronze Battle Axe and moves to M-16, blocking the way south.

Zarif



The merchant wiped his brow as he readied another crossbow bolt, sweaty with the heat of both the sun overhead, and the burning farmhouses radiating from the north. He took a moment to glance down at his clothing, covered in grime and blood, the flow of which only stopped due to that... magic. He shivered, it did not bode well to owe his life so many times to a god of strange, foreign land. But, what could he do? Not fight? Run and cower while his allies waded valiantly into they fray? Zarif was a merchant at heart, but he was still a man, he wouldn't hide.

Lining up another dangerous charge, he braced himself. More like than not, He'd be accepting another of Zuzu's blessings in a few moments but... he could take him down, and time was of the essence. He had a clear shot forward, not many enemies for some time yet. readying his bow, Salador charged towards the lone brigand, Zarif easily planted a bolt in his side, though ate a glancing blow from a hatchet to his left arm. With just enough momentum, Zarif flicked his body backwards just as the camel rode past, and planted a second bolt between his eyes this time, with a perfect parting shot

Zarif moves to D-11 and attacks the Axe BRIGAND #1 with his Bronze Crossbow, hitting twice and dealing 18 damage, taking 13 damage, killing the brigand, and earning 20xp. He then moves to E-16.

The pace has quickened and Etor's heart races. He rushes to the injured Lyun and quickly dispatches the sword brigand in front of him. He gives the hulking bloodied figure a quick panicked look but quickly fixed his face and donned his breastplate hurriedly. The encroaching enemies would demand that some tough decisions be made. He looks at the sword brigand in front of him and prepared himself.

The priest regains his composure, no foes left in sight. He strides forward with a slight limp, not immune to his own injuries, and thinks on the geography of the battlefield. The others had slipped out of his sight and hopefully had better fortune.
