Caddoc and E'lara (played by Freyya)

Caddoc was casually walking the road alone. His sword was slung over his shoulder, and a brimstone spell prepared to use quickly. His black arm and chest plate made close to no sound at all, as he had just oiled it the night before.
He and E'lara had spotted an encampment ahead, and since they didn't know who inhabited it, they'd taken their usual everyday approach to the matter. Caddoc will walk right in and see if they can be reasoned with, and E'lara tags along quietly through the forest's edge at the side of the road. Caddoc hoped they'd be able to solve things without a fight, but as soon as E'lara would see one single agressive motion, she'd shoot. She was rash like that. He sighed, and prayed she'd stay her aim.

E'lara was well ahead of Caddoc. She'd run off to the camp's edge and took an overwatch position in a nearby tree. They appeared to be merchants, but every small bandit disguises himself to lure in their prey. She almost started the fight without Caddoc, but the warrior would scold her for it afterwards, and she wasn't in the mood for a scolding. "Boring old man..." she muttered quietly.
The Twins (played by beefy)

Tyr and Cal strolled along the edge of the roads, scuffing their hooves in the dirt as they went. Tyr yawned, seeming overly bored by this trip. Cal however seemed to be enjoying the sounds of the forest and birds as they walked. Tyr grumbled. "How long have we been walking now?!" he turned to Cal who looked to her sibling with a questioning look. "Uhm... Maybe a couple hours now? Why? Let me guess, you're bored. You've said that twenty times already." she spoke quietly with a smirk before she turned her view back to the road as they got over the next hill, coming into view of an encampment up the road. Cal blinked and nudged Tyr who turned to look smugly. His eyes widened and he grinned. "Oh look! A camp. I'd hate to think that any of their food or gold went missing!" he said suggestively as he looked to his sister. Cal grinned to herself at the thought, turning to Tyr. "What do you have in mind, brother?" she giggled as Tyr pointed to the forest behind the encampment. Seemingly perfect for sneaking in. The twins ducked into the woods, draping their cloaks over them entirely.

Caddoc strolled into the camp. Several robed merchant-looking fellows came towards him and started offering precious goods to him. E'lara sighed. They're going to convince the old man if he's not careful. She had a feeling in her gut that these so called merchants weren't what they looked like.

Caddoc, as he strolled in, greeted the men coming towards him. They started rattling to him about different 'wonderful' wares they were selling for 'cheap' prices. This prices weren't cheap at all, of course - even Caddoc knew that. One advantage about being a mercenary was that you got to places. And Talya - or at least that's where the merchants claim to come from - doesn't even charge half the prizes these men are asking. He just kept talking to them, keeping them busy. This way he could give E'lara the chance to look the camp over.

An opportunity the young elf gladly took. She looked around, but apart from a couple of closed barrels near the main wagon, there didn't seem to be anything suspicious on first sight. A hint of movement then caused her eyes to flash to the right.
Fauns. Great. E'lara knew this was going to turn into a bloodbath really soon, but those two certainly didn't. Whatever they were up to, all they could see was a warrior - be it clad in heavy armor - was trading with Talyan merchants. E'lara gritted her teeth, and kept a close eye on the two without betraying her position.
The Twins (played by beefy)

The two knelt not too far behind the wagon and a stall. Cal first peered around the side of a stall, hidden carefully behind some crates. She saw the merchants had seemed to move away from their wares. Oh how very lucky she thought as she looked to Tyr. He already knew what to do and so did she. Quietly, the twins split up, and went into the nearest stalls. Tyr had gone into a food stall. He'd soon be stuffing the food that was in open crates and out of sight of the merchants, stuffing them into his own bag. Cal had wondered into what looked like a jewelers stall. Her eyes were wide with fascination of the jewelry kept in the stall. She had stuffed several large hand fulls of jewelry into her satchel and began trying to pick the strongbox but seemed to be having a bit of trouble. Tyr soon made his way back into the edge of the forest awaiting his sister's return.

"What do we have here!" A bandit had snuck up behind Cal, and grabbed her by his neck. He pulled her up straight and threw her out of the wagon. He jumped out after her, and before the faun could crawl away, he already had his boot pressed up against her back - pressing her down into the sand.

Both E'lara and Caddoc swore. Now was not the time... Caddoc thought. He knew E'lara would wait until either the very last moment, or until Caddoc drew his blade. The merchants turned towards the man, who was clad in Thick leather armor. "Derric, what is this!?" one of the merchants enquired with a surprised expression on his face. As if you don't know. Caddoc thought, but he stayed his hands for now.
"This rotten little Faun-" he spat the last word "-was trying to steal from yer jewelry cart 'ere!"
The Twins (played by beefy)

(Cal is a girl btw! Sorry if its misleading! :0 )

Cal gasped in shock as the bandit had picked her up by the neck, she thrashed around a bit, trying to reach her daggers but was then thrown out of the wagon. Cal tried to scurry away before the bandit kept her down. She yelped at the pressure on her back. She flinched as the man spat out what she obviously was, clenching her fists as she spat out sand she had gotten in her mouth. She coughed as she looked up to the crowd of merchants and the man who was well armed, with a slightly fearful looked on her face.

Tyr was awaiting in the nearby woods before suddenly his ears perked and he got a slight tingling. He heard to commotion. With wide eyes, dashed to the outskirts of the encampment, fearing for his sister. Tyr grasped the hilt of his sword in anger, wanting to charge in but he knew that wasn't such a good idea. He reached inside his satchel and took out an apple and suddenly got an idea. He stayed hidden for the moment and he awaited a good moment to put his idea in effect.

The merchants got closer and trooped together around the Faun, and started insulting her. Caddoc cursed. If he didn't do anything anytime soon, the girl would die. a patern of circular lmagics started forming through eachother, forming some sort of magical sphere around his hand. He slowly drew the sword from its scabbard, and nodded slightly.

E'lara saw it all happen. When she looked back at Caddoc, he had a sword in hand and his brimstone spell at the ready. She grinned. "Finally, the old man does something exciting!" she muttered. She aimed her bow and put an arrow on the string, pulling it back with all her might. She'd have to chase the group from the boy if she was to give Caddoc a chance to use the brimstone spell.

She released the arrow.

With a thud, it landed in the mercenary's neck. The man gasped and ropped to the ground. It took a while for the other merchants to realize what'd just happened, they ran towards Caddoc. "Please good man, help us!" But Caddoc wouldn't hear them. He'd heard well enough, how the sound of chain rang from underneath their robes. He threw his left hand forward and the Brimstone spell shot out towards them. Half of the men dropped dead and the other half was severely burned.
More mercenaries started pouring from the carts.

(wanna launch chat for this?)
The Twins (played by beefy)

(Sure :P )

Cal shuddered in building anger as the group crowded her, sputtering insults at her. Tyr was about to throw the apple at the bandit who held his sister down right before there was suddenly the arrow had pierced the man's neck. He blinked in surprise as he saw the merchants run to the merc. Tyr ran out from the forest, coming to his sister's aid. Cal scurried to her knees as the bandit fell and Tyr had run to her trying to get her up and away from the commotion before there was an eruption of fire. Tyr held his sister as they both jumped back a bit. "Are you ok, Cally?!" Tyr said desperately as Cal she nodded. Then the two realized there were more mercenaries pouring out from everywhere. They both looked shocked for a moment before Cal drew her dagger finally and Tyr drew his sword in defense.

The two never had to draw their weapons. E'lara emerged from the woods, firing one arrow after the other. Caddoc had in the meantime taken his shield from his back and he dashed forward, smashing the first merc aside. He threw himself upon the second one, easily slitting his throat. E'lara's arrow had finished off the first merc by then. She shot again and killed another coming at Caddoc's back.
The Twins (played by beefy)

The fauns both looked in amazement at the other two who fought the mercs. The two looked to each other, blinking before they would defend themselves against any merc that tried to hurt them. One merc made a b line towards them. Cal put away one dagger, opening her palm as the wind gathered in her palm. Hovering her hand above the sand, the wind gathered in her palm picked up the sand. She threw the sand from the ground into the merc's face, as Tyr charged at the merc, slashing at him with his sword.

Seeing the Faun's predicament, E'lara turned and finished the man off with an arrow shot between the ribs and into his heart. Caddoc finished off two more mercs. The others now quickly realized they were fighting a losing battle. Why would they even fight? Their moneycow was dead anyway. They dropped arms and surrendered. E'lara was going to shoot another one, but Caddoc managed to stop her. "Calm yourself, girl. You'll get plenty more fights where we're going."
E'lara scowled and backed off. She moved to the two fauns. "What in blazes name did you two even think you were doing!? she yelled at them.
The Twins (played by beefy)

Tyr had finished off the merc as soon as the others all started dropping their weapons. Turning back to Cal, he sheathed his sword. Cal followed suit and sheathed her daggers before turning towards the woman who seemed rather angry. Cal's ears drew back as she inched slightly behind her brother. Tyr simply stared at the woman smugly for a moment. "Having a bit of fun." he smirked wondering what her reaction would be. Cal looked between her brother and the woman silently before looking to the other man.

E'lana looked at him furiously. "A bit of fun? A bit of fun!?" She then started laughing so loud it startled some of the bandits. Caddoc looked at her and rolled his eyes. "Aren't you the joyful one today." he said to her. Caddoc, after securing the mercs, walked over to the fauns and helped them up. "You two better be more careful in the future," he lectured them.
The Twins (played by beefy)

Tyr's smug look broke into an extremely surprised look, his ears flickering as the woman started to laugh loudly. Cal blinked at the man. "Thank you for helping me. We'll try." she said quietly to the two as she looked up at them. Tyr turned. "HAH! I don't need to be reminded. I'm not the one who got caught." he said rather obnoxiously as Cal punched her twin in the arm. Tyr grasped his arm with a small yelp at the sudden move.

Caddoc smiled. "Yet you rushed into danger unprepared and alone. What would you have done, had E'lara and I not been here?" he asked. E'lara grinned.
The Twins (played by beefy)

Tyr's ears perked at the thought then slumped slightly. "Uhh..." he seemed to be at loss for an answer. Cal chuckled in amusement to her brother.

"Anyway, you two can't stay here. Come with us, we'll take you to the next village." Caddoc said. E'lara started protesting immediately, but Caddoc siilenced her.
The Twins (played by beefy)

The fauns looked to each other, fixing their cloaks. Cal nodded as Tyr grumbled to himself, following his sister. Cal looked in her satchel and saw that there was still quite a bit of the gold jewelry in there. smiling she went to Tyr and looking inside his bag to see that it was brimming with food. Cal's eyebrow quirked as she shut the bag and Tyr shrugged as the two were now ready to depart.
Caddoc and E'lara (played by Freyya) Topic Starter

E'lara rolled her eyes and walked off, Caddoc close behind. "You two better stay close - these woods are thick with men like those." he said. E'lara laughed. "I do so hope there's more of them, I love a good brawl!" The words were obviously not fitting for an elf, but she never cared.
The Twins (played by beefy)

The two fauns followed close behind Caddoc and E'lara. Cal stared down the road for a moment before looking to Caddoc and E'lara. She then turned and reached into Tyr's bag. Tyr flinched. "What're you doing?" he asked as Cal pulled out a couple apples and trotted up to Caddoc and E'lara, offering them both an apple each. Cal smiled, ears perked, light crimson eyes gazing to them.
