Eli grinned at the bartender, nodding, and his grin only widened even farther as Kuro approached him. Apparently the Rider had set aside the prejudices the entire band held against him. "I can get the chain cut, give me-" Then the girl yelped and Eli winced as Walkins, as he had introduced himself, took a step towards the bar. Eli turned to see every Guildmember with a weapon in the room leveling it at the four newcomers. Shreckt had her own blade out, and dragged it across her palm. Rather than dripping off of her hand or blade as her blood welled, from the wound, it simply pooled in her hand. Shreckt waited for something to happen before she attacked, however. "Shit. No time for fancy tactics. At least this will be a qui-" Eli began to reach for his rifle as he spoke, only to abruptly stop talking as his gun disappeared into the hand's of the boy. Before Eli could do much more than draw the pistol on his hip, the gun was fired. Nothing happened. Despite this Eli only laughed aloud. [i]This is going to be fun![/i] He thought gleefully, pulling out his short sword as well. Kal, Lumin, Zaz, and Saruk all appeared behind him. Kuro immediately floated over to the twins, protectively circling around them. Eli laughed again as the man revealed himself to be an inquisitor. He only briefly noticed the robot murdering one of the thugs, focusing on the real threat. "Oh good!" He called, aiming at Walkins. "I'll certainly try my best, and succeed. Because I love killing Inquisition dogs!" He only shrugged at Helen as she thrust the rifle at him, leaving the useless weapon where it was. He hadn't [i]meant[/i] for the kid to get the gun. Eli emptied the pistol at Walkins, Saruk increasing the piercing power of the second shot. Shreckt ignored the remaining thugs, who were obviously deciding living is better than dying, quite literally throwing her blood at the ice spirit. An unnaturally solid and long stream of blood floated horizontally at the spirit, before breaking apart into spikes of blood that flew at it. Shreckt swung her sword at Walkin's back. Lumin sighed, then breathed in deeply before spitting out a fire ball at the ice spirit. Zaz crackled with electricity for a moment, then shot a bolt at Walkins.
