Vakim set himself into motion so fast that his accelerating foot simply slipped right out from under him in attempts to reach the door to get the cart moving. "Ugh~" He groaned as he lifted himself back to his feet. He fell so fast he had no time to stop himself and now his nose was bleeding all over, not to mention it felt like it got ripped off. He looked down at here he fell, and MUCH to his surprise, There was most of his nose, caught and cut off by a sharp snag of wood on the cart. "Holy fucking shit!" he yelled as he raised one hand to cover his face and reached down with the other to pick up the chunk of cartilage that belonged on his face. "Oh my god." He stared at his hand for the longest time until the cart jolted forward and threw him backwards and off balance. He reached out behind him with the hand that was just covering his face to catch himself, while doing so he knocked over and spilled multiple potions and concoctions that the apothecary had made. "You have got to be kidding me." He mumbled then took a look at Rena. Vakim's eyes widened very large as he jumped back from the skeletal hands gripping her head, then quickly reached out his hands, dropping the nose, to tear them off. However as soon as he did so they retracted into the abyss and Rena was totally free. "What~ in the fucking hell~ is going on. I must be dreaming." He stuttered as he looked out the door to see that the world had started to tilt sideways, quickly coming to the realization that it was the cart tilting rather than the world. [color=f7941d][b]CRASH[/b][/color] As the cart smashed to its side Vakim's sword unsheathed and struck a large piece of flint that had gone flying when the cart fell. Once Vakim recovered the sword he saw the fire creep towards a pile of herbs and vials and just as Saeed broke through the floor he quickly scooped up Rena and passed her to him, then ran for the opening himself, only a tad too late. [color=9e0b0f][b]BOOOOM[/b][/color] The cart exploded into a gargantuan inferno and threw him several meters from the cart singing most of his armor and clothing. As well as all his arrow and bow. (Luckily not his sword however.) He landed on his back in the mud and water which quickly put out any remaining fire and cooled the skin where it had been burned to a manageable pain. "fuuuuuck~" He whined weakly as he lay there on the ground with no nose, a singed back, and a throbbing head. He turned over slowly looking around, seeing everyone engaged in slight combat as they all ran to try to escape the attack. He attempted to stand up, having most of his clothing fall right off the front of him from no longer being attached in the back. He was not soaking wet and freezing with just enough clothing to cover him but to provide no protection at all. Not to mention his sword was not silver like Saeed's, So he was now defenseless as well. "Fuck. EVERYONE THIS WAY. FOLLOW ME." He says as he staggers to his feet and starts to head to his house as fast as he can. "LET THEM FOLLOW. DONT WORRY ABOUT THEM! I HAVE MY HOME PROTECTED FROM BEASTS LIKE THEM." He makes sure everyone has heard him and turns to lead them all to safety. Just as he turned his back he realised that there was one more than before, who now seemed to be fighting the Vampires along side them. He hoped that his enchanted barrier would let them in if they decided to follow. For the time being he decided to forget about it and focus on getting to the dwelling in the first place.
