[IC] We're the Bad Guys

[Eklispe]

"You have been gathered as an elite strike force to deal with threats that one demon alone could not. Before you can deal with the real threat we need you to prove yourselves. For that reason your first mission has already been prepared. There is a caravan heading along this road to one of the major human cities. Destroy it" With that the small imp vanished in puff of smoke leaving behind the distinct scent of brimstone.

The assembled demons were currently several feet from a dirt road that was clearly well traveled. Around them stood the trees of the might forest, some stretching several hundred feet tall. They would've heard birds chirping and the slight footfalls of the forest animals had they not been driven off by their presence. Even now a faint rumbling sound could be heard as the caravan the imp had spoken off rolled along the road. It consisted of two large wagons drawn by four horses each with a total of nine horseman guarding them. The horseman were well armored in a mix of chain and plate, and armed with basic swords and shields.

Several of them had bows and the one in the front had a large mace instead of a sword. Four of the horseman were on the left with the same amount on the right and the one with the mace lead in front. The two wagon drivers both had crossbows at their sides but seemed more focused on driving then looking for an ambush. Likewise the knights were lack, chatting freely with each other and simply peering ahead looking for their destination. The assembled persons had their mission. The small caravan would pass them in approximately a minute, it was now up to them to decide how best to go about accomplishing its destruction.

Ivo looks at the other demons then with a wing snap flies up to a high up tree branch. He watches the caravan carefully then, with a large grin, produces a large ball of fire that looks as if it is a glass ball and throws it down onto the second wagon. The seemingly glass ball breaks and a large fire spreads, this creates the perfect distraction of the others wanted to attack now since hopefully the horsemen would be distracted by the fire and not focused on their surroundings. If it goes wrong then he is fairly noticeable in the tree with his tail wrapped around the branch and his wings out.

Arcantas did not normally care for this sort of field work, but he had to admit that this mission had a certain appeal to it. The mundane guards in front of him were far simpler prey than he usually had to deal with, and the caravan before them was a fine prize. Like a fruit on the vine, sweet and ripe. While control and summoning were the dracon's forte, he decided to set aside any remaining complains he had and join in the assault. He aimed his staff and charged up a fireball, feeling the grass beneath his claws turn cold and dry as he pulled heat from his immediate surroundings to give the spell and extra kick. Seeing that Ivo had already initiated the attack, it was up to him to keep up the momentum.

As the caravan tried to flee, Arcantas' fireball impacted the ground in front of them, spreading flame along one of their few escape routes. They wouldn't be going anywhere. Eyes glowing a fiery red, the wizard gestured for the others to press on. His direct attack wasn't as strong as that of Ivo's, but then, combat magic not his primary skill.

The fire quickly spread over the wagon and the guards turned to face it with cries of distress. The lead knight however looked for the source of the attack and quickly saw Ivo. He pointed and seemed about to say something before the flaming wagon exploded cutting off his words. It seemed it had been filled with explosives of some sort. One of the knights had gotten too close trying to put out the fires and fell to the ground from the result of the explosion heavily burned, after several seconds it was clear he wasn't getting back up.

The horses attached to the first wagon whinneyed and charged forward only to be halted by the path of fire that cut them off. They frantically turned to the side over-tipping the wagon trapping the driver beneath. The lead knight once again pointed at Ivo and Arcantas and shouted for them to attack. Three of the knights stood where they were, taking out bows and aiming at the demons. The other four charged and the lead knight stayed where he was seemingly waiting. Kosdar pushed himself off the tree he was leaning on and stepped onto the road between the knights and his fellow demons.

"I can take three of these chumps easy." He said casually holding his sword laxly in one hand as he waited for the charging knights to arrive. The one that had been closest leaned over on his horse to chop crudely at Kosdar. He gave the swing a frown of distaste before smashing his own blade into it, sending the knight's arm back through the air wildly before making another swift cut and removing the knight's arm as well. Kosdar's eyes gleamed with a savage light as he stared down the other two knights. They involuntary flinched as the one-armed knight desperately tried to stop the bleeding and feel off his horse onto the ground yelling in pain. "Who's next?" he asked grinning.
