At the forests edge stands a caped hippo, swords at ready as he gazes down the winding entrypath. "Foul bandits, we'll see you behind bars." he says to himself as he watches for signs of movement. Hopefully the call for aid will not go unheeded.
The call did not go unnoticed, as a Grey Kitsune appears brandishing a Rapier as he follows the hippos glare. "Heard you might need some assistance." Angus comments, giving the hippo a quick glance before he glance back at the path.
Selena rolls her eyes at the hippo's comment. "Hello, Rogna." She chuckles, an ear flicking back at the sight of Angus, though she makes no attempt to greet the noble.
The badger smiles widely as she is out in the forest hunting with her hammer. Kilsa hears the shout and beings to walk to the sound noticing Angus and Selena. "Whats going on out here?" The armor clad noble asks for clarification.
Rogna looks to Kilsa, Angus, and Selena and offers a smile. "Ah good to see able bodied aid. Kilsa, there are reports of bandits attacking passerbys in the woods, stripping them of their hard earned crown and injuring those who resist. This cannot be allowed to go on, I intend to lead a group in to take care of the matter." The hippo casts his cape back and eyes the group once more. "If you'll all assist me, I believe we will suffice." he adds as he gestures to the path, then proceeds to enter the woods.
Angus sighs as Selena outright ignores him, not bothering to dwell on it as she did have the right to. Kilsa gets a nod and a smile as she appears. "Hello again Lady Ironsoul." Turning back to Rogna he nods as he follows him into the woods. "Anything distinct about these bandits, are they flying any banners?"
Selena nods. "Hey Kilsa." She greets the badger as she arrives, striding across to her, an ear flicking back slightly. "Have you had a good day?" She asks, keeping one ear cocked to the discussion.
"Hello, Selena and Angus. It good to see you both and you as well Rogna." She grinned and thought about the male foxes words. "Yes. We should see if they are related those scum suckers that tried to kill Miranai." The badger growls softly. "Please lead the way, I would like to speak with them." She said with a grin that promised broken bones.
Rogna looks at something in the trees briefly, keeping track as long as possible. He places his hand on one of his swords hilts, readying himself for an ambush if it presents itself. He continues forward as he does however.
Angus twitches his ears and his pace slows, but for only a step as he keeps moving. Outwardly the fox showed no signs that something bothered him, but the tension in his shoulders and the way his right hand disappeared into his cloak said otherwise.
Selena points out some figures in the brush, murmering across to the group. "Watch them. It's a set up." She comments, readying some air magic in the event they try anything.
A nod is all kilsa offer as she draws her weapon and tries to keep her body ready to strike at a moments notices, Kilsa begins to chant under her breath preparing to smite anyone stupid enough to charge some of the most skilled members of sweetwater head on.
Rogna draws both of his swords, not one to be caught off guard. He can't quite fight a hidden enemy, so he moves closer to the others to provide a counterattack for the less well armored folk in the party.
Angus was definitely not one of the well armored, but that didn't affect him at all. As soon as the glint of their blades catches his eye he reacts, turning towards them he pulls his pistol and fires. Tearing through the hand of the foolish being that actually thought he could throw a knife. Holstering the now smoking pistol he stepped forward, reading his blade as he waited.
Selena curses silently as the gun goes off, her ears momentarily flicking back to her head to block out the sound. "Great, now they know we're here." She grumbles, whipping up a violent swirl of wind to deter any further projectiles. "Angus, get shots on whoever you can. Your pet pistol should be able to move through it."
The badger growls as a soft click echos an her fist begins glow with firey creator math, "I'm going to enjoy this." Kilsa whispers before she smack her fist together reavealing a set of glowing gauntlets, She doesn't bother hiding with her now glowing hands but she does keep her shield ready incase a threat comes for her in the form of knives or arrows.
As Angus's gun goes off a startled and distressed cry can be heard, followed by a shriek. "MOMMA!" can be heard coming from the group, and Rogna quickly races forward to see what occured. A skunk folk lays crouched over a basket of herbs on the forest floor, holding their palm. Four younger skunk beings of various ages are huddled around her, with the exception of one rather burly youth who both cries and seeths with anger as he sees the approaching figures. He spots the pistol faint remains of smoke from the fired weapon and lets out an angry "GRAH!" as he lunges at Angus, driving his dagger into the foxes shoulder. Rogna quickly grabs the hand as it pulls back for another repeated stab, at which point the skunk drops it and lets tears pour to the forest floor.
Angus nods to Selena as she throws up the winds, and freezes when he hears someone cry Momma. Following Rogna he stares in shock when he realizes that he didn't just shot some bandit about to attack them, but an innocent bystander out gathering herbs. Looking down at the woman he shot he notices the boy charge at him out of the corner of his eye, and doesn't do a thing about it. The dagger sinks into his shoulder and causes him to grunt in pain as he staggers back a little. "I'm sorry." Are the only words he speaks as he turns around and walks a few paces off and sits down, feeling like a complete idiot.
Selena suddenly dashes over to the injured woman as she hears the child's cry, dropping everything to run over and start treating the wound to the best of her ability. "Oh creators... I'm so sorry, little one." She murmers to the child, ears flicked back, glaring back at Angus with veritable fires in her eyes, though she makes no comment. "Please, take her out as soon as I'm done. She'll need proper treatment for this." Selena comments, passing some crown to the woman. "This should at least cover the treatment."
Selena spends 1750 Crown for RP reasons.
Kilsa notices Selena's look and sighs, "Sorry ma'am. We were expecting someone more deadly and this is a gross misunderstanding." Kilsa walks over to angus and begins to tend to his blade wound, "Well don't we look like heros...." She comments to Angus, "Selena might kill you but I understand this happens but you will make it up them won't you?" Kilsa checks over the child soon as she is done with Angus, "Hey. This was a big accident and we didn't mean to hurt your mom, we will make this up to you both."
Rogna sighs and shakes his head, patting the child on the back. As he does so an arrow glances off the backside of his armor, prompting him to turn around. "Hey big shot, step away from the family and show us yer hands." says one of the six emerging figures, crossbows and daggers out and ready. "I don't know what's going on but you folk drop your weapons and get on the ground. Geez if you're gonna go about mugging the innocent have some class you bumpkins." The well armed figures move closer to the group.
