Fable: The Ties that Bind (RP Thread)

[Shadowmaster]

Lyon follows the others, weapons away.

[Haylie]

Despite her words, Scarlet keeps her hand near her pistol holster as they walk toward the sounds. Eventually, they come upon a simply unnaturally massive tree in what would otherwise be a clearing. They seem to have found the tree they were looking for.
Unfortunately, under the tree, dozens, possibly hundreds of people, are all lined up, chained at the ankle, being whipped at by a large bandit. Sitting atop one of the many thick branches of the tree is a man dressed very much like an assassin, bandanna and all. At first glance, one might think it's actually Katt, but then he turns around and speaks.
"Well, well, well. What we got here, gents? Couple a' bloody party crashers." He spits. It lands squarely on Cletus's face.

[Kris_Roth]

Aloena sees the big burly man spit at Cletus's face. Her face showed a disgusted look, like 'how dare you disrespect my friend, jerk,' but she waits to see what the guildmistress would do. She wanted to go heal up those who were being whipped, but she wanted to get more information before jumping to conclusions.

[muffinstud]

Cletus stops walking. He stands stock still, holding his breath. His face is beet red. He looks like a muscly zit about to pop.

[Haylie]

Scarlet looks at Cletus, as if silently asking him not to lose his temper, then Aloena to make sure she won't do anything, then looks back at the Bandit leader.
"Gunslinger. What an unpleasant surprise."
"Not what your daughter said," he replies smugly. Scarlet's cloak almost catches fire. "So. What're you doin' here, anyways, Dear Scarlet? No way you already picked up on my little civilian displacement camp here."
"Call it a somewhat-happy accident."
"Well. Can't have you walkin' all the way up here without givin' ya a gift. Brute! Show our guests a good time, eh? But, eh, try not to kill 'em all. Bring the ladies to me." He smiles darkly as a rather large and imposing group of men appear from the surrounding trees, grinning and grunting to each other.

"Which one you want?"
"I'll get the stupid bloke with the axe."
"I want a swing at the girl when the boss's done with her."
"Yeah, good luck."

[Tiffany Grimm]

Robin actually looks angry. "I hate bandits..." She mutters. "Take that one out for me Cletus, will ya?"

[Shadowmaster]

Lyon draws his sword. "So much for resolving this peacefully..."

[muffinstud]

Cletus wipes the spittle off his face and whips out his axe. He casts Multi-strike on himself. "Hope you want 'im in little pieces, cause that's how he's ending up." He takes a leaping blow at the nearest bandit.

[Haylie]

Scarlet pulls her pistol and shoots one that's heading for Robin in the head. He immediately slumps to the ground.

Cletus's Bandit ducks and rolls out of the way just in time. Fortunately, he ended up on his back and will take some time to recover.

One Bandit pulls out a pistol and aims it at Aloena.

Another dashes toward Lyon with his cutlass.

[Kris_Roth]

Aloena sees the evil bandit pulling out a gun. "Robin, try to use your arrow to shoot that gun out of his hand, if you can."

[Shadowmaster]

Lyon swipes at the bandit with his sword.

[muffinstud]

Cletus brings his axe down on the fallen bandit, executioner style. His eyes are full of rage, and he ignores any other bandits around him.

[Haylie]

The rifle bandit fires a shot. Fortunately, his shooting is horrible and it hits a rock behind Aloena. Even so, she's out of luck if he fires again.

Lyon's bandit holds up his sword to block. He seems a bit smarter than the others.

Cletus's bandit's lost his head. Quite literally. Another comes screaming toward him from his right, sword up.

Scarlet shoots three more bandits and impales two others with her over-sized sword. She's not even breaking a sweat, by the looks of it.

[Shadowmaster]

"Hmm, your not bad." Lyon says. He then swings his sword at the bandit again, aiming his strike at the bandits legs.

[muffinstud]

Cletus brings his axe from the ground and spins towards the newcomer with a horizontal slash at the navel.
