Oleg is not the only one clenching their teeth either. Of all the bandits she once called her comrades, Happs Bydon is the one against whom she bears a special, personal grudge.The bandit woman pushes the door and steps out, one hand already going for her other axe as she steps around Oleg to get to Happs. "You should stop worrying about the trader's wife and tell us how your wife and kid are doing, Happs!" Pixie growls angrily, her lips pulled back to bare her teeth as takes her first swing at the bandit leader. Her eyes glint as axe blade bites into flesh. The bandit rocks back in the saddle from the vicious blow. Blood flows from the wound and the horse gets skittish. "Hmph. Quite a bit of viciousness in you," Rhote says with a touch of surprise at the ferocity in which Pixie attacks the bandits. He moves and places an arm past Oleg's ribcage, letting loose with a Fire Jet. "Oleg, twist behind me and take some cover. Or pick up a weapon and fight. It's all the same to me." The bandits clothes catch fire and slumps in saddle dropping the reins. The horse has had enough and rears dumping the burning bandit onto the ground. It wheels and makes for the gate. Oleg moves deeper into the house and hovers protectively in front of the door that leads to his wife an axe in hand. Atop the roof, Kyria gets up from her crouch and takes aim at the bandit with the bow, hoping to snap him off his mount with her first shot; removing their ability to easily retaliate to her. Her eyes flick just for a second at the gate, and she frowns a little. Closing it should have been the first thing that happened before the ambush. Damnit. No plan survived contact with the enemy intact, it seemed. Kyria's arrow takes a bandit (3) in the shoulder, but does not drop him. Brondelleon gets to the gate just in time and pulls it closed before the horse can get out. Liam listens in tense anticipation as the bandits enter the outpost. His blood burns as he hears their vile comments about the innocent people here. Suddenly he hears the cries of pain and the roar of flames and know the time has come to deal justice. Spuring his mount he rides out from cover with his longsword raised. He shouts at the top of his lungs, "For Chelias! For Justice! For Glory!" He heads immediately towards two bandits and swings his shining blade. The blade cuts deep and the bandits crumples to the ground like a marionette who's strings have been cut. A little disappointed that the fighting is so far away, Grayson rushes out sword at the ready.OOC: I think there is a bit of confusion on actions here. My intention was for you to post not only your action in the surprise round, but also your action for the first full round. I believe some of you have done so, while others appear to have only posted a single action. If you posted both please give the others a chance to catch up. If you only posted one action please post for the first round. Note that the enemy is still flat footed at this point--so only AC12. Only bandits 2 and 3 remain in the fight and 3 is wounded. Sorry for the confusion.</blockquote>
