FF Fanatic 80

Daniel finds himself torn on action to take, as the summoned wolf pounces on the nekojin mage.

A quick glance around tells him that all their foes are incapacitated in some form. The on Daniel fought a moment ago still appears to be sleeping. One is making a break for it from the woman he healed, apparently intent on leaving the battle. The other mage nearby appears frozen in place, as if by magical means. The only one who could still act is the nekojin, though he is pinned down at the moment.

He could assume the wolf will take care of the nekojin, and try to get over to Kobakk. But what if the mage breaks free, and he has his back turned? He can't risk taking another spell like that to the back, at least not now.

So he approaches next to the wolf, aiming the pointed end of his halberd to the nekojin's throat.

"I normally despise ending another person's life... but I can live with it when that person tries to kill me." Daniel says, looking at the nekojin with stern eyes, "So if you'd like to continue living today, I'd suggest giving up."

A moment passes between Dan and the Nekojin, as they stare at one another, sizing one another up. It seems that Dan's quarry can't deny the hopelessness of the situation, as he closes his eyes and says.

"I surrender."

(Neb's turn. Speak to me Via IM before posting.)

The carnage was over, and Neb strode towards her companions, trying to move as quickly as she could considering her injuries. "We don't have much time left," she said firmly. "There's still the other mage. The spell's going to wear off any time now, so we need to restrain her while we have the chance."

Daniel looks toward Neb briefly and nods, then looks back to the Nekojin while speaking.

"We need to secure this gentlemen as well. Do you have any rope with you?"

Kelne

With matters tentatively in hand, Leothe emerged from behind his cover and set about tipping a potion down Kobakk's throat. Gently, mind you. He then stepped back a bit, in case the orc was still feeling a little cranky. After that display earlier, he wasn't taking any chances.

Besyanteo

The Nekonian man simply growls out "No."

Kobakk, fed a potion by Leothe, awakes groggily, ashing all over. His wounds have closed thanks to the potion, but he still feels like he's been trampled by a team of horses.

(Kobakk is at 37/82 HP)

KingOfDoma

Once the potion finished its work, Kobakk coughed loudly, immediately sitting up. "Is the battle won?" he said, looking about wildly. "Is my... are our companions safe?"

He looked to their wagons, and saw the Doman monarch wave. He breathed a sigh of relief, and looked to the man who brought him back to consciousness.

"So... what was that all about?"

Kai

I hate protection missions.

It was the only thought on Myrnal's mind as she sat sharpening a blade, waiting for the fight to come to them. The stone ran down the smooth, hair-thin edge and Myrnal wondered how--considering she was here to assist Daniel--she had ended up being the last line of defense for the king of Doma.

BullSHIT I am. I've seen him fight. We should be out there. This is so stupid. I hate protection missions.

While she was at it, Myrnal cursed Daniel for coming up with such a sensible plan in such an idiotic situation. If she'd left to go do what she wanted, what she was trained to do... something could have happened to Charles and it would have been her fault. She wasn't particularly attached to him as an individual, but she could acknowledge that the death of the king would not be a good thing. Myrnal was the second woman in her family to make such a decision.

I hate protection missions.

Still, Myrnal had no one to blame but herself. She'd intermittently peek out to ensure that the fight was still going in Daniel's favor. Fortunately she didn't have to really make a choice between her obligations to Dan and her agreement with him. When Charles peeked out to wave to their allies, Myrnal slipped her dagger back onto her belt and cursed under her breath. "That's it. I'm going. Come with me if you need babysitting."

With long, purposeful strides and a deep frown she headed toward the people Dan had apparently decided were their allies. She walked down the middle of the road so as to avoid spooking these people by the appearance of yet another well-armed stranger. "What the hell happened here?"

KingOfDoma

I hate being protected.

Snickering at Myrnal's quip, he casually followed her off the wagon, though in a desire to better understand the situation. It was aggravating, though. At his core, he was a warrior. Whether it was on the battlefield or in the political forum, he loved to engage in combat. But he was aware of his importance to his nation, and to this mission, and he could not let himself see harm. It was like binding his own hands.

But, he had to remember what the greater picture was, and that he could do far more good alive than dead. His own desire to be thrown into lethal situations had to be set aside for the time being.

He turned around, and called to Trevor. "It's safe now! Come on out!"

Kelne

"I wish I knew," Leothe said in response to Kobakk's question, "These people certainly don't seem like your run-of-the-mill bandits to me. But as to their motives in attacking us, well, you'd have to ask them."

With that said, he headed off to secure some rope. More people seemed to be arriving on the scene, but even with the disparity in numbers, he wanted the prisoners secured before they had the opportunity to do something stupid.

Neb's spell wouldn't hold forever, and the summoned wolf would be disappearing any time now.

Besyanteo

Leothe has no problem getting some rope from the cart. He's now free to tie up people at his leisure! Elven or otherwise.

Shinigori V2

Annetta watched the fleeing man for a moment longer, before lowering her blade, not bothering to take it back out of it's scabbard again. She noticed the rest had already finished business, and made her way over.

Notably, Annetta is of half-elf descent, standing 5'6 with only slightly pointed ears. However, there's a slight oddity in her face that gives it away. She wears leather armor with just a slight bit of decoration to it, over a forest green tunic and pants. Her hair is a fiery red color, and a thick black scarf rests on her shoulders.

"Well, if we're about done here, I'd like to get moving before anyone else comes."

Besyanteo

Until just now, Dan had been distracted. A great deal has happened in the past ten minutes. However, when the red haired half elf speaks up, he feels his attention drawn to her. She feels vaguely familiar somehow, but he can't put his finger on why. Still, the feeling persists.
