Arrival

[Gwydion Nefarine]

Gwydion muttered something indistinguishable under his breath about this not being worth all the gold in Aldraa'Norrech as he drew his sword and struggled to find a valid target through the thick cloud of smoke.

((is it alright if I rp the bandits I'm killing now?))

[Lan]

((Do what you want.))

Kay lit another bomb and threw it into the smoke. In a few seconds another explosion accompanied with screams filled the air. "Here they come!" roared Kay.
They were a good forty feet from the smoke, which gave kay and Jenoveve a good amount of time to calmly aim and pick off their targets. Kay realeased an arrow, sending it whistling through the air, going straight through the throat of a bandit twenty feet away.
Jenoveve called out from her position. "Three arrows left Kay!" Her last three arrows took down two bandits. Kay had also extinguished his quiver. He reached back into his robe and withdrew a sword and and the serrated dagger he had recently used on Gwydion, brandishing both at the onrushing bandits. at this point twenty bandits remained. Five rushed towards Jenoveve. She cried out "Gwydion, Help!" All she had was a serrated dagger like Kay's.

[Gwydion Nefarine]

Gwydion rushed the five men. One of them parried a blow that would have decapitated his sword arm. He struck back at Gwydion just as he killed one of them. The slash grazed Gwydion's left arm, and Gwydion swung at the bandits neck. This time, he didn't miss. The murders head made a thump! as it fell to the ground.
He turned to face the other three as they all rushed him. He ran one of them through with his sword as he attempted to dodge the other two's blows. One of the bandits managed to stab Gwydion's right shoulder, and he struggled to keep hold of his weapon.

[Lan]

Jenovese darted forwards, thrusting the dagger through the man's ribcage and into his heart. She rapidly drew the dagger over her head, and sent it spinning into the other man's neck. The immediate danger was over, but there were fifteen more bandits reamaining. Six started approachich Gwydion and Jenoveve. The other nine started towards Kay. The snow was slippery and made it hard to run, so somef them stumbled. Kay rushed forwards to meet them, his sword swinging in glittering arcs and his dagger parrying and thrusting. There was no doubt that he knew his way around a sword.

[Gwydion Nefarine]

Gwydion forced himself to ignore the pain that surged through his sword arm from the shoulder wound and ran to meet the six approaching enemies. One had a bow and shot an arrow at him as he approached. Gwydion neatly sidestepped as he parried another one's sword. He dealt the attacking bandit a deathblow and moved forward to the others.
Suddenly, the pain in his arm drastically increased. The pain caused him to drop his sword and, when he looked down at his arm, he saw an arrow protruding from it. He cursed his luck and quickly picked up his sword with his left hand. He had been in situations before that required him to use his left arm instead of his right, but that didn't make him feel less awkward. He avoided the other bandits for the time being and focused on the one with the bow. Before the bowman could let his nocked arrow fly, Gwydion beheaded him.
Turning to the others, he blindly stabbed forward with his sword and was rewarded with a scream. He saw one of them fall. Only three left, he thought grimly as the bandits tried to rush him again.

[Lan]

Kay faced the onrushing bandits. "Come at me then!" he roared, causing one to drop his sword. He rushed forwards, stabbing one through the throat with his dagger, and mortally wounding two more with hs sword.

[Gwydion Nefarine]

Gwydion made a great sweeping motion with his sword, killing two and wounding the other. The last bandit, relentless, came at him again. Gwydion kicked him to the ground with his boot and stabbed him in the heart with his sword. He ran over to help Kay, who already doing well for himself. He cut down two of the bandits, who until now had had their backs turned.

[Lan]

With a sweeping motion, Kay swung his sword, killing the last two. He started to relax then he stiffened. They had only killed eight. Suddenly jenoveve cried out,"Gwydion!Watch out!" The last bandit was beind gwydion and preparing for the final blow. With a quick motion, she took her dagger by the tip and hurled it, pointfirst, into the back of the bandit, severing his spine. As soon as she had seen the bandit go down, she fell to the ground, bleeding from multiple cuts and from one alarming gash on her side.

[Gwydion Nefarine]

Gwydion quickly sheathed his sword and ran to Jenoveve, while he carefully took the arrow out of his right arm. He knelt over her and winced from both the look of her wound in her side and the pain in his arm. "I think you'll be fine," he said, despite what he saw. He withdrew a small pouch from his cloak. Going through the assortment of plants and herbs, he finally took out an odd-looking purple plant. After making a poultice, he ripped off part of his sleeve and set the poultice on the wound, binding it with the cloth from his sleeve. "How are you feeling?"

[Lan]

She could faintly hear him through the fog of her near unconscious state, and she tried to reply, but all that came out was a faint groan.

[Gwydion Nefarine]

Gwydion looked up at Kay. "This wound is beyond my skill to heal. I've kept her alive, but we need to get her to a real healer. Anyone at this ranger's guild that would fit that description?" He glanced back at Jenoveve. She had saved his life. He wasn't about to let her pay for it.

[Lan]

Kay looked at the wound. "All Ranger's are instructed in the healing skills, this wound houldn't be too difficult."

[Gwydion Nefarine]

"Okay, then. Can you help her?" He glanced hopefully at Kay.

[Lan]

He look annoyed, "Of course I can help her." Reaching into his cloak, he withdrew a small vial of liquid from his belt. "This is to help fight infection..it is something the Ranger Corps use." He cleaned the wound, then poured in the disinfectanct. he looked around, walked over to a dead bandit, and ripped strips out. usng the last of the disenfectant on them, then wrapped them on with the help of Gwydion.

[Gwydion Nefarine]

After their work was done, Gwydion glanced around for a sign of more bandits. "Shouldn't we go to this Ranger Guild, now? There might be more rangers about, and if they catch us by suprise, we're done for." He stretched his bloody right arm, and wrapped a strip of cloth around it to suffice for the moment.
