[u]Sordan[/u] was too quick for Batta the Beast, his thrust was evaded and was taken advantage of. Batta had been slashed twice on his torso and to assure his demise, [u]Jerod[/u] stuck his rapier into him from behind. "[color=gold]What? How... How did you--[/color]" He did not finish. He could not finish. Batta fell to the ground dead.

With the leader dead and their ranks mostly decimated, the remaining Brigands ran for their lives. The small battle was over.

You successfully dispatch the three Brigands coming by combining your skills with the green-haired girl. The other Brigands that came after you also met the wrath of your combined arms.

"[color=darkgreen]Amazing lanceplay, Rionach.[/color]" The girl complimented. "[color=darkgreen]I've been shown how to wield a lance but I never really excelled at it.[/color]"

The swordsmen Sordan and Jerod have slain the bandit leader and that was the nail to the coffin for the bandit group who ran away, ending the battle.

The party was invited back to the green-haired girl's home, a ger as she called it, to get their bearings from the fight earlier. While Jarde was talking to the girl inside the ger, the rest of the party stayed just outside and waited.

This small moment of respite was used by Keerin to approach [u]Sordan[/u] and [u]Jerod[/u]. "[color=deepskyblue]Fantastic work again, gentlemen.[/color]" She remarked at the two swordsmen, her voice as emotionless as ever. "[color=deepskyblue]Although, Sir Sordan here has not introduced himself properly to us nor we to him. Allow me to begin.[/color]" Starting with a bow, she began. "[color=deepskyblue]I am Keerin and this is Lord Jerod of House Staudinger. We are in the service of Prince Jarde Devaron, the Crown Prince of Elibe. I remember you being in the forest after Dragonrage Pass so I'm assuming you know our objectives.[/color]"

"[color=deepskyblue]However, I will tell you now that our journey may be a perilous one. We are trying to prevent a war after all.[/color]" Keerin added.

Merilia plopped right next to you with a long sigh. "[color=red]Hey, you did good out there.[/color]" Lying on the grass with her hands behind her head, she continued. "[color=red]...Look, I'm sorry I was kind of rude when we first introduced. Not many people want to associate with him and those who do usually has a hidden agenda.[/color]" She explained. "[color=red]It's that white splash on his hair that messed everything up. Lot of people in Elibe and other parts in the Concilium regard that as a bad omen or at worst, a curse.[/color]"

"[color=red]Still, Prince Jarde remains a trusting person.[/color]" Merilia sighed again. "[color=red]I hope you do not take advantage of his trust.[/color]"
