The explosion of fire felled many of the spiders that were in the room, but also depleted Valen's power, since he wasn't going to be able to re-cast such a powerful spell after a while. When the breton turned to warn the kahjit about standing back his naivete showed when he realized that the kahjit had taken the opportunity to sneak past the spiders and was now at the other side of the room, behind a set of metals bars that he had just put to close the way

[b]"That's an impressive power you have, mage, but Darfair cannot stay to watch the fireworks since he has many other things to do. I can't risk anyone knowing about me sneaking through the sewers to the palace and the spiders will therefor do the cleanup for me. If I was you I would slit my throat before the venon of the spiders start to take effect, otherwise it can be extremely painful. Seeya"[/b]

A spider sneaked behind Darfair, but the kahjit took his claws out and slashed the critter to pieces before lightning the torch again and dissapearing through the maze, leaving Valen alone to face four spiders that were left.

 The scream of agony of one of the bandits distracted the one attacking Heren enough for this to strike with the broadsword and slash his chest. When the fight was over Heren, without sheating his weapon, walked towards the trampled man, who had his legs and left arm broken by the heavy horse and was trying to crawl away towards his bow, which was kicked away by the breton, who was a bit exhausted after the struggle.

[b]"Okay, uf.. uf... You are under arrest for assaulting and robbing and attempt to murder a noble servant, uf... uf..."[/b]

Heren had to admit he wasn't in the best of shapes, it has been long since he had much exercise despite what his body build would suggest. Seeing that the bandit wasn't going to be able to go nowhere in his state he finally lowered his guard and looking inside a pouch he retrieved a handkerchief that used to clean the sword and then a sharpening rock that he threw to Pisukisa

[b]"From what I heard those katanas get damaged pretty easily, so I guess you should re-sharpen them a bit."[/b]

He sat on the ground and looked to the bandit, who was still trying to crawl away unsuccessfully

[b]"What do you suggest we do with our friend here?"[/b]
