You should know better then to challenge...Ranti Akande!"  Hearing Dockside Dan trying to escape a few feet away, he pirouettes to his right, spinning around the thug in front of him (his brightly colored cloak twisting and fluttering with the move, thoroughly confounding said thug for a moment), stopping - surprisingly - on top of the villian Desert felled a moment ago.  Still moving fluidly, Ranti drops into a crouch and stabs downward toward the scuffling sounds, connecting only with the wooden planks of the dock underfoot.  Dockside Dan, hearing and feeling something *whoosh* past him incredibly quickly, flings himself onto his back and starts scuttling backwards like a frightened crab.  Ranti continues his rant:  "Our side would never flee by crawling, you must be one of the scurvy dogs. I will stab you with haste and hope to my patrons that you die a slow painful death. I offered you the chance to flee and you instead attacked. You made a powerful mistake this day my friend. I Ranti Akande will make sure that all that attacked here today will never walk home again. I of course mean only those that attacked me and my companions."The screaming scalawag (5) decides he's had enough of all of this and, throwing his club at Richard (to no effect) turns to make a running dive off the dock and into the harbor.  Sensing an opportunity to exploit, however, Richard brings his sword round in a large arc on his left, stopping the scalawag's plan.  Well, stopping half of his plan, anyway...  The brigand's head and shoulders plop into the water, but the rest of him just falls in a heap on the edge of the dock.Desert, hearing Ranti's "suggestion", shrugs his shoulders and bends down to grab the leg of the nearest (living) thug (4).  Not quite sure what the monk is up to, the thug simply bashes him on the back with his club.  Desert feels the blow, but - Oh ho, what's this?!?  It seems that K hadn't completely disengaged herself from the battle, as she fires a fiery ray of, er, fire from her fingertips, thoroughly scorching the upper half of the thug, leaving him nicely roasted.  Oh, and screaming in quite obvious agony, too.  As he starts to fall over, Desert stands up quickly, summarily snapping the leg of the smoldering thug in twain at the knee.  Interestingly enough, the villian actually pauses in mid fall with a look on his face (or, at least, what remains of his face) that says, "Oh, come now, is that really necessary?"  He lands in a heap and expires forthwith.The remaining brigand, seeing most of his companions lying in pieces (some of them smoking) around him, looks at you all in terror, but stands his ground.  "Dan!" he says, "What are you DOING?!?!?  Get up here!!!"<a href="http://img248.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dockfightrnd48hs.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/8343/dockfightrnd48hs.th.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></a>=================OOC:  Desert takes 8 damage, Richard takes another 3.Actions?</blockquote>
