RP anyone?

[Strider]

"You aren't buying me a room and hey,Sam, wait!" Sabe calls to him.

*You turn and look at her. Her hand is pointing to the market across the way where five men in sliver and gold armour are standing*

"Five isn't bad." She pulls a longer knife, nearly twelve inches from inside her cloak, "I'll go find number six."

[Sanick]

He Nods "Alright, you do what you do. I remember one being alot bigger, and with more ornate armor though. These 5 seem to be about the same. So be careful Sabe."

Just as she is about to run Samuel grabs her arm. "Dont get yourself killed for me. If it starts to go bad, get outa there. If the whole thing seems to go bad...Well, just dont die for me."

He releases her arm, and just looks at her. "Sabe, Thank you. He kisses her cheek. Be Safe"

Samuel turns towards the men. His mind shuts off.

Vengence will be my reward tonight. Death my Consequence.

[Strider]

*Sabe's brow rose as she touched her cheek. She smiles at him before taking off in the direction of the Tavern, blade at her side.*

Sabe walked into the establishment, her eyes catching the glint of armour near the bar. "Shit." She mutters, "Sam was right..." She notices this guy is alot bigger than she is, alot bigger than Sam is and he's packing alot more protection than just a thick cloak. "My lucky day..."

She strides to the bar and signals for a drink, "I'll ahve what he's having..." She nods to the bigger man.

[Sanick]

Samuel moves to the market. His eyes are full of hate, and revenge. He moves towards his 5 targets with precision and anger. Reason has been lost in the anger, rage, and lack of sleep.

Half plate hu? Weakness in the lower back, joints, shoulders, and far limps. This will be easy

Without even a second though, he pulls his longsword out, and thrusts it deep into the back of the closest man in black. His sword explodes through the mans chest, the man lets out a great moan.

All other 4 men look at Samuel.

Reasons finally rushes back to him. Shit i should have thought about this...

The other 4 men pull their swords as Samuel pulls his bloodsoaked sword out of the dead man. The closest 2 men attempt to thrust into Samuels abdomen, he leans out of range, as the 3rd man aims to take off his head, he blocks with his sword, the 4th man however gets a glancing blow on Samuels left arm. Nothing too serious for the moment, he got lucky.

I cant win on these odds. I have to level the playing field

Samuel breaks contact and runs off deeper into the market, the 4 men hot on his heels

[Strider]

*Sabe looks over the man with a heart warming smile, coazing him to trust her as she looks for an unguarded spot. lower back she tells herself as the man asks her name*

"well, I'm called alot of things, Regas, Sabe, your downfall, you know."

"My what?"

*Sabe slides back from the bar, her blade sinking into his back and misses the first time.
She ducks as he swings for her. He's too big for her to use brute force she decides as she leaps ontop of the bar her foot aimed for his head. He catches it with ease and swings her down off of the bar, breaking one of the tables with the down force of her weight. She hisses and gets back on her feet, ducking and rolling underneath a table before swinging her blade for the sweet spot. Fourth lumbar down, to the left, the abdominal aorta. Sabe pulls her weapon back as the man falls to the floor and looks up. Her lucky day looking bleak as the sheriff gets to his feet.*

"I'll be going now...." She tells him, quicking a smirk before taking off into the street to find Samuel.

[Sanick]

Samuel runs deeper into the market looking for anything to even the odds. The only good thing their armor is doing for me is wearing them out. He turns to make sure he is still being chased

Good...Come and get some! He runs past a butcher's tent, and grabs one of his knives. Its a little unballanced to the rear, but any weaponsmaster can overcome that. He throws it at his attackers. It hits the closest one in his blade arm. He drops his sword and lets out a scream.

Samuel pulls out his short sword, and stands in a defensive posture. The 3 men charge into him. The first one attempts to slash his right arm, he blocks with his off weapon (left arm). He then Parries and slices the mans shin open. Not enough to kill him, but its gonna slow him down He braces for the second and third man who attack in unison at his body. He Parries with his longsword and stabs the left man's sword arm with his shortsword. He lets out a groan, and loosens his weapon. Samuel then kicks the 3rd man in the chest.

There is a sharp pain in the back of Samuels leg as his quad is cut open. Samuel turns in anger slashing with his longsword. He takes the head off of the first man.

He turns back to the remaining three. The man who took the knife into his shoulder has returned to the fight, the one who was stabbed in the arm has rearmed himself with Samuels Shortsword, and the man who was kicked in the chest has gotten back up.

They rush in at the same time.

I have no mobility with my leg as it is...This might be the end for me

[Strider]

*A loud Clang echoes out in the market as everything seems to slow down. Sabe is standing in front of Samuel, panting and out of breath, the long knife she'd took with her stuck to the injured man's blade as metal cuts metal, the other man's sword stopped short with the base of her shiv.*

"Hiya, Sam." She cooes, still panting "Damn can you boys move."

* She says to the men stopped in front of her. She pulls back on her knife, swinging her foot up hitting the injured man in the chest knocking him down before her blade sinks into the chest of the other man.*

Sabe turns to Sam with a smile, "How ya' doing?"

[Sanick]

As Sabe kicks the one injured man, and kills the other, his longsword stopped the other man from getting at him. He Parries, and twists his sword, and disarms his opponent, then cuts off the mans head.

"What a timely arrival" he says to Sabe. He Limps, and winces over to the man who is knocked on the ground yet again.

"You have 2 seconds to tell me where the other 2 men are, and who you are working for. Or i will slit your throat." He says Quite intimidatingly to the downed man.

The man on the ground stays silent... In the face of death you will hold your tongue? Admirable, but foolish.

Samuel raises his longsword, and puts it clean through the mans neck.

Samuel, goes to sit down, then realizes he may not get back up, so he stands straight up again.

"THank you for the rescue. I was worried i was about to meet the maker himself." He begins to go through the pockets of the men they dispatched untill he comes across a letter.

Before reading it, he looks at Sabe. "We probably need to leave." Motioning to the 4 dead men, and the blood trail.

[Strider]

"Yeah, " She rubs the back of her neck sheepishly, "The local law Enforcement might be chasing us as we speak. Turns out if you kill a man in front of the sheriff, you make him angry."

*Sabe throws Samuels arm over her shoulder, ignoring her own protesting injuries* "Lets get out of here and wrap your leg up."

[Sanick]

"Im not gonna be able to get on Aedan... You take her, and get outa here." He winces as he limps down the road. He is bleeding pretty bad, he needs to get it wrapped up at the least. "I will Stay hidden untill tonight, and i will meet you on the main road."

Haha like she is gonna leave you. She damn near died coming to save you idiot.

[Strider]

She laughs but grows serious. "I wouldn't get up on that mule of yours even if I tried, Sam." She tells him, "Besides where would I go, back to Gale? They'd send men after me..." She looks down at his leg, "And You'd be easier to follow than I, you're bleeding like a stuck-hog."

* She looks out over the crowd and back to Sam*

"Let them take us in, they'll have to wrap you up, and then we'll bust out. I wouldn't be the first time I've been in a cell, besides, I'm worth more alive."

[Sanick]

He thinks about it for a second...Wait really? Just get out you big ol' puss.

"No...We just need to leave, once we get out of the city we can stop to bandage me up."

He looks at Sabe, "I'm not gonna have the Guards put a bounty on us as well as the people who are after you." He limps a little fast. The pain is visible on his face.

"Lets just get outa here"

They move to the Stable with relative ease. Once they get into the Stable, Samuel finds a stool to help get him up on the horse. However he does make Sabe move it for him.

They both get situated. Sabe behind Samuel. You can see the blood running all the way down Samuel's leg now, his face is starting to get pale.

"We need...To go now... Im not feeling so hot..." Aedan Starts to move out of the Stable, Samuel slumps forward, he is unconscience.

[Strider]

"Awe, Fuck." Sabe mutters as she takes the reins from Samuel's hands. "Well you heard him, girl. Giddy up."

She stears the horse out of the small village and onto the main road before taking a footpath through the thick forest between Gale and -Shire. She finds a small clearing and Manages to get Samuel and herself off of the horse. She wraps his leg, and starts tending to her own wounds. *

[Sanick]

You control the bleeding, and it slowly stops driping down his leg. You can see him breathing so you know Samuel is alive.

When you look at his face, his eyes are moving. Tale tail sign of a vivid dream.

The bags under his eyes remind you that he hasnt slept in over 36 hours at this point. He may be down for awhile if he isnt woken up

[Strider]

*She pulls her long knife from around her back and inspects the damage, weary that she's taking watch. But she's gone longer with out sleep that two measly days. The knick in the metal looks irreparable, so she sets the weapon at her side and inspects her shiv. It took little trauma and is still in good fighting condition.*

She sighs and looks to Samuel and then Aedan. "We have to run into town, girl." She says to the horse. "Come on." She throws herself up on the thoroubred/clydesdale mix and slowly trots off back into the city of Gale for some supplies.

[Sanick]

Samuel's dream is a vivid recollection of what happened back in his village 4 years ago. He comes running into the town, reliving it moment to moment... He sees the 8 riders run by. 6 of them disappear as he rounds the house to watch them. However, 2 of them turn around. They come trodding back to him. He stands frozen in fear. One of them dismounts, and walks up to him. He doesnt seem hostile. He approaches Samuel and begins to examine him. He turns and looks at the other one.

He is doing well.... exaclt as you predicted. The closer voice says

Indeed...Kill him now

The closer man Draws his sword. He Stabs Samuel in the chest.


Samuel awakens, Screaming in pain, and holding his chest.

[Strider]

*Sabe's eyes are wide as she looks up at Samuel from underneath the screen of her dark lashes her eyes averting from the wound she is stitching. The needle in her mouth as she dabs at the wound with a rag. A canteen of water lay to Sam's right along with a roll of fresh bandages.*

"Pwoblems?" She asks, curious as to is sudden outburst.

[Sanick]

"Just a bad dream...I really need a good nights rest. Once we get me bandaged up, we need to get back to Gale" he says looking at the stiching job.

"Not your first time is it?" Laughing, trying to shrug off the pain in his chest, and now also the stabbing in his leg.

[Strider]

"You've been out for three days, Sam. I've been to gale, got fresh wraps and a needle." She tell him as she pushes the needle through her skin again tugging at the string. "And no, It's not. I could never fix my own clothes, but I sure as hell could always patch myself up. I stitched up your leg too, so be careful or the wound will open again."

She hisses as she knots the string off and cuts it with her shiv. She rolls the pantleg back down over her wound before moving for the one on her arm. She examins the angle, "You any good at this?"

***Wow, this is definately the longest i've stayed with an RP.***

[Sanick]

[i]She sat around with me for 3 days!?[/i] His expression says it all. "3 days!? Holy shit, you sat around and babysat me for 3 days?" He shakes his head in disbelief.

He then looks at her arm, "Yeah, i can stitch that." He Rotates around next to her, and begins to poke the needle then thread through her skin.

Without looking from the wound he asks, "Why did you wait for me?"

[Strider]

She shrugs, "I wouldn't call it babysitting." She says with a wince as he stiches her arm, "I just patched you up, fought with your damned-mule and fixed my self up and slept."

*She thinks about his other question for a moment*

"I couldn't let you die. I owed you from the bar fight, you save me, I save you. It's an honor system." *That light is in her eyes again, that one that tells him she is smarter than she looks.*

*She examines his stitching job* "Not your first time either, is it?" She asks him with a light laugh. "It's amazing the damage a table can do to a preson."

[Sanick]

He stops stiching her for a moment and looks at her. "If it was an honor system... you saved me at the market. This was not the honor syste...not this time. If it was , you could have just dropped me off at a local building."

He goes back to stiching her. Why did she wait 3 days for me? He finally finishes and ties it up, cuts the needle off, then wraps her.

"We should get ba-" His stomach growls quite loudly. "Oh man...I'm starving, i could eat a horse" he says with a slight grin as Aedan gives him a displeasing "Nay"

"Ready to hit the road again?" He asks Sabe while remaining seated

[Strider]

*She laughs as his stomach rumbles* "Yeah, lets go. I'm starving! Believe me, I've thought about eating Aedan over there..." She glares at the horse. "We don't exactly get along."

[Sanick]

"You better not eat my horse. She is the only woman who lets me ride her multiple times a day without bitching." He Smiles at his lame joke as he struggles to get up. His Leg is badly bruised up, and the wound bleeds at the slightest movement. Gah, this is gonna be a LONG recovery. I cant just prop my leg up for a few days.

Samuel Helps Sabe up onto the horse again. Why do i keep insisting on helping her up? She clearly could get on Aedan if she wanted to. Better yet, why does she let me? Food for thought

Samuel then climbs onto Aedan, gets situated behind Sabe, and they move at a slow trod back towards the city of Gale

[Strider]

"Wow...way to just...wow." She says with a shake of her head as he helps her up on the horse. "Besides, i heard that horse tastes awful, so i can only imagine what Aedan would taste like." She tells him with smile.

"Where exactly are we heading?" She asks him as she turns her head back. "There are probably officers in Gale still, we did kill six people, three of which were be headed and another bled violently to his death. And a woman in pants does kind of stand out..."

What the hell Sabe? This guy could pull a one-eighty and get you in your sleep...

[Sanick]

"Gale is the City we were in before we headed to the Shire" He says to her as she looks back.

"Dont worry, we will be safe there, at least for tonight to get some food in our bellies, and a good night sleep." He then smiles, "Ya know... We could put you in a pretty little dress to disguise you" He laughs. Ya know...She would probably look damn good in a dress... Wait, What the hell Sam? Pervert

Samuel smiles to himself, shakes his head, and keeps moving to Gale

[Strider]

"I've had a good nights sleep, two in fact. I'm just hungry" She shakes her head. "Pervert..." She mutters as she turns back around. "I'd sooner cut my hair and eat your horse." She says, "Have you tried moving in one of those damned things?"

Oh goody, he's frisky when he's hungry. Just what you need Sabe.

""What are you laughing about?"

[Sanick]

Samuel laughs and gets partially defensive in a joking manner, "How am i a pervert?" He asks that with a smile, and laughing. "I said for a DISGUISE!, and No, i've never worn a dress before. Its frowned upon in society." He snickers

"i tried to picture you in a dress. I just don't think you could pull it off is all."

They clear the wood line, and the City of Gale comes into view

[Strider]

"How?...Never mind. Well so are pants on a woman, ahve you looked at me? If it werent for the hair and..well other womanly features about me, I could be a man. And I could so pull off a dress!" She rambles on as they ride into the city.

"Hey, no I don't think so. You are not tricking me into a dress...Holy Shit." She breathes as they pass the gates. "Sam...?" She swallows as she looks to some of the burning buildings and the dead lying in the street.

[Sanick]

"Oh my..." Samuel slides off of Aedan. He winces when his leg hits the stone road and almost goes down. He catches himself, and reaches for his Longsword... Which isnt there.

Aw shit. I knew i forgot something in that Market. He goes to the closest Gaurd, and picks up his Warhammer.

He turns a few corpses over. Looks like most deaths were caused by slashing weapons. A few dents in armor indicates bludgeoning. He doesnt see any bodies that look out of the ordinary.

What happened here...? Just as Samuel looks back up, he sees several men moving toward him. They look like Town Guards

"Hey, what happened here?" Sam Says to the approaching guards

[Strider]

Sabes sighs and leans forward, her cloak hiding her un-ladylike clothing as the guards Approach.

One of the guards answer, "Some men came through here searching for a couple they think killed a few of their men. At least that's what the survivors are saying..." He looks to another guard.

Sabe hangs her head and looks around casually, before noticing the gold colored silk hanging from behind one of the patrol men... "Samuel..." She says lightly in the girliest voice she can muster.

[Sanick]

Samuel notices the Gold on the cape. Really? Is this really my luck? I kill 6 of them, and they kill an entire city, and then i come walking back to the city...They are here. gah i'm a retard.

He attempts to look seriously concerned. "Dear god, thats horrible!" He looks back at Sabe. She is about 6 paces behind him on the Horse. There is no way he could run back there.

I've got to try and bluff them. "I was told this city was a safe heaven for travelers on my way here, but it seems to be in chaos right now. This is no place for me and my wife. I wish you men well, however we dont want to be in the middle of this fight if they come back." He turns around and begins to walk back and normal as he can.

His face shows Sabethe amount of pain he is truely in whle trying to walk upright.
1st step...
2nd step...
3rd step... almost there...
4th step...

[Strider]

"Sam!" She jumps from the horse as he collapses, barely managing to get his arm around her shoulder. "Fuck." She looks down, his legs starting to bleed through. Well wasn't that just a dead give-away?

The guards gasp and a few more draw their swords, "Safehaven, eh? It looks like you could be the cause of this entire mess..." The one that spoke before says to them as the men surround them.

Sabe hangs her head, "I should've thought that one through..." Her eyes meet Samuel's.

[Sanick]

Sam looks at Sabe. Pain is showing in his eyes. Its my fault these people died... my fault...

He whispers to Sabe. "I Wouldn't think less of you if you ran.."

Sam, its only 6 guards. Muscle through the pain, get to safety, and recover. You've done it before..

He slowly stands, and turns to face the guards. The Warhammer, loose in his grip.

"Remember son, if you hold the hammer too tight, you'll hurt yourself more then you will mold the Metal. Strike it swift, precise, and smooth."

I remember Dad

[Strider]

*Sabe watched as Sam stood, muttering to himself.* "Sam, one thing?"

[Sanick]

"Anything for you Sabe"

[Strider]

"Don't Die." She tells him repeating his words from three days ago

[Sanick]

He looks back at her... He gives her a half smiles. "You better come back and get me then."

"How touching." Interupts one of the guards. "Make your move trash!"

They all draw their weapons

[Strider]

Sabe grins back as her hand reaches for Aedan's withers as she swingers herself up on the horse, "Let's go!" She says tapping the horses ribs with her heels.

[Sanick]

"How touching...You let your little girlfriend run off. Its only a matter of time till we find her too. Waste of time." The front Guard boasts, a snicker in his voice.

"Well kid, we dont have the time to delay any longer. Lets get this over with." The Guards being to approach on Samuel.

Back to a wall... move back till you bump the wall... He brushes up against the wall. His flank is now secure.

He grips the Warhammer like he was taught as a child. Molding metal, and smashing someone's brain seemed like a common place in a sense.

The guards rush him. Convinently, these 6 dont often fight together. Samuel knew that because 4 of the men actualy ended up hitting each other's swords. The 5th man swung wide right some how, and the 6th man was right on Target.

Fortunately, Samuel brought his hammer up, catching the longsword with the pummel.. He then swung the hammer in a large ark disarming one attacker, and connecting with the side of the head of one of the men. You can hear his skull getting cracked like an egg.

One Guard took this opportunity however, and stabbed Samuel in his already opened wound. The Sword sank deep. Samuel lets out a howl of pain. He then grabs the man by wrist much harder then he thought he would, and actually snapped the man's wrist. Releasing another howl into the air.

[Strider]

Go back and help him Sabe, he's wounded!

She tugs at her hair as Aedan slows down to a stop, out of sight but not out of hearing range of the fight.

He'd help you...He's kept your secret!

Sabe looks down at her boot, her ownly weapon left being the small hand-made shiv that had saved her in every fight she'd ever had. "Fuck..."

Go! She tells herself as male screams echoe in the desreted city.

[Sanick]

The three guards, still capable step back, as the fourth one grabs his sword again. The 5th man who's wrist is broken continues to whelp in pain, untill Samuels Warhammer connects to the back of his head.

Samuel heaves heavily. He tries to catch his breath. Between his blood loss, lack of food, and sweating, he is already worn out.

I think im done for... God, if you are out there... Let me see my family.. just once when i come up to see you

He watches as 3 of the men move towards him. One man attempts to stab samuel in the stomach, he leans to the side. The weapon hits the building beside him, he then swings at the mans head, connecting at the shoulder, breaking his arm, and maybe his neck. The Man tumbles into the other one. They both fall to the ground. The 3rd man however, successfully slices at Samuel's warhammer hand. Samuel drops his warhammer, and is missing is pinky, and right ringfinger. The 4th soldier then hits Samuel in the face with the pommel of his sword. Samuel slouches against the wall.

I'm beaten... I cant fight anymore. Samuel is bleeding from his nose, and mouth. He has a cut on hit left side, hit two fingers have been sliced off, and he has a sword in his leg.

The Guard who has been doing all the talking Laughs, as he punches Samuel over and over in the face. "Not so tough now are you street scum!" Only 2 Guards remain.

So Close.... I'm sorry Sabe

[Strider]

* One of the two guards stumbles foward gasping, shiv burried deep in his back.*

The other turns around and comes face to face with Sabe. 'If you were smart you'd run off now. Or I'll kill you with my bare hands."

The guards only laughs, "What, come to save him? It's pathetic he needs a woman to get him." His gaze roves her over, "Wait...you're..."

"That's right." She says with a wicked smile, cracking her knuckles.

[Sanick]

Samuel reaches out at the man with his off hand. He cant hurt him, but any advantage Sabe has at this point the better.

He grabs a hold of the mans pants, and tugs at him, moving him slighty off balance.

[Strider]

*The heel of Sabe's hand smashes against the man's nose as he stumbles forward, her knee meeting his chin. When he was on the ground bleeding sheKicked once, fell to her knees and twisted his head until there was a loud pop and everything around them went silent.*

Her dark eyes look up to Samuel's light blue ones. "You look like shit."

[Sanick]

He smiles... "I knew...I knew you would.. come... back.. for me" He is still breathing heavily

[Strider]

"What kind of friend would I be if I left you behind?"

*She tugs at the tie around her neck, sweeping her cloack off of her shoulders. She coveres Samuel with it, and then moves to the wide-belt at her waist. She removes it and starts to wrap Sam's leg, removing the sword*

"I used to always loose in fights..." She tells him softly shuddering in the cold air, her arms now bare. "Until I started watching people. No one wants to teach a girl how to fight..." She tugs at the silk from one of the dead men, wrapping Samuel's hand.

"People like us don't make friends easy." She looked up, "Sam, stay with me."

[Sanick]

Samuel looks up at Sabe, then notices a sign hanging above them, "King's Retreat". He lets out a small chuckle.

He nods in the direction of the sign. "I bet you my pouch of gold, that there is a room not damaged by fire in this tavern." He Smiles as he remembers dancing with Sabe.

"I could really go for a bed right now"

[Strider]

She shakes her head, "You can't walk. I can't lift you, we're stuck...I swear if you don't keep your eyes open...I'll...I'll..." She trailed off, "I'll go fetch some blankets or something."

She stands to leave

[Sanick]

Samuel reaches out and grabs Sabe's hand. "We are vulnerable here...We need to get inside, or get out of here"

He doesnt let go of her hand
