Message: <blockquote data-quote="Isida Kep'Tukari" data-source="post: 1633605" data-attributes="member: 4441">*Zaphira's next arrow cuts through the underbrush, but fails to find the next fleeing bandit.  Azure's eyes seek out one of the bandits escaping through the canopy and fires with deadly accuracy, striking the man in the upper thigh.  He gives a groan of pain and falls from the tree.**Heliad can see that there are a few wounded pilgrims under one of the wagons.  Crawling underneath, one of the woman grabs you and pulls you to the side of what seems to be the patriarch of this flock.*"Please help him!" she says frantically.  The old man has an arrow in his chest and is bleeding away his life's blood onto the ground.  Taking out Sun's Draught, Heliad props up the man and pours Pelor's life-giving sunlight into him.  As you watch the arrow slides out of his chest and his skin knits together.  The man loses his deathly palor and his eyes begin to flutter open.  *Viper continues to pound the man he just killed into mush while Jabin keeps a look out for any more threats to Azure or himself.  Fianna intones words of strength over her staff, calling upon the forest spirits to empower it in her defense.  The two remaining bandits in the canopy continue to scramble away, as do the two remaining ones on the ground on the other side of the road.  The one that fell from Azure's arrow looks up to see Fianna and Kani.  Drawing his sword as he lurches up he snarls at them.*"Won't take me alive!" he roars, limping forward to cut at Kani, the one that threw the spear at him earlier.  His sword carves deeply into Kani's side as the bandit grimly twists the blade, trying to take Kani down with him.**Kani grabs his own spear and fights back, striking the man right in the belly.  With a final groan the man clutches Kani's armor as he falls to the ground, dying.**Ashlie begins to follow the bandits, both her and Shilo having no trouble following their panicked flight through the woods.  However, they have to move more slowly than the bandits to be sure of their trail, while the bandits can just run willy-nilly.  They trail is hot though, and if the bandits stop to rest soon, Ashlie and Shilo will be able to find them.*[OOC - Zaphira hits an 11 and misses.  Azure hits a 15 for 7 points of damage.  Heliad heals Father Parab for 8 points of healing.  Fianna casts shillelagh.  Kani gets hit for 10 points of damage.  Kani hits a 21 for 7 points of damage, dropping the bandit.  Ashlie and Shilo start tracking.  The remaining four bandits are running for the hills, so to speak, in opposite directions.]</blockquote>
