[b]Alike In Dignity 2[/b] ~[@13org] (BST)~ [quote=Bast Ragoczy][color=C6DEFF]"Come, my dear. For now, we should go to the Archean gardens... Putting fire on it should be really easy... We wouldn't even need to get inside. But we will leave a small note to them though... After that, we will go to the Barensia Family manor..."[/color][/quote] Eilidh nodded at your decision and followed. The two of you head over to the manor of the Archaneans at the southern edges of Ambran. The manor itself was definitely that of a noble's, lavish and rich. It stood alone surrounded by low stone walls and steel gates. Hired guards were posted at the aforementioned gates and diligently did their jobs. The garden was likely located right behind the manor. From a distance that did not warrant suspicion, Eilidh began. "[color=9B1436]We are to set fire to the garden, right? How are we gonna do that?[/color]" She asked as she continued to look at the Archaneans' abode. "[color=9B1436]However it is, we need to deal with the guards.[/color]" She continued. "[color=9B1436]Being what I am, I am afraid I am less than useless in a stealth approach.[/color]" Eilidh said. "[color=9B1436]However, what I can do is provide a distraction so that you may be able to sneak in more easily. What do you say?[/color]" The Centaur awaited your answer. [hr] [b]The Great Escape[/b] ~[@13org] (FYR), [@Restalaan] (YNG), [@AzureKnight] (NAG & VRA), [@Lmpkio] (TCA)~ [u]Titanica's[/u] mighty roar shifted the caravan's attention from Haley towards her. The troops were shaken before the awesome presence of the kaiju. The Order soldiers would have ran but the Paladin stepped forward atop his steed. "[color=fff79a]Stay strong, men! We are soldiers of the Order! Of the Chief God! We fear no monster! We only fear dishonor![/color]" And with that speech, the Order forces held with a proud yell. Their resolve was reinforced and battle was joined. ~[@Lmpkio] (TCA)~ Your atomic breath threw the Order forces into disarray. Three Footmen and three Knights were burned while some of the Knights were thrown off their horses, allowing the other guild members to be more effective. "[color=fff79a]You three! To me![/color]" The Paladin and three of the knights rode forth to fight you. The three knights all thrust their lances at you but your hide proved to be stronger, deflecting the lances and almost breaking them. However, the Paladin's sword burned with holy fire and with a single swing, managed to crack the scales on your right leg. The pain may be bearable but he showed that he was able to harm you. The knights and the Paladin circled you, searching for an opportunity for another strike while looking out for any counter attacks. However, an arrow shot and an ice shard almost hit the Paladin as his horse got startled, opening him up for attack. ~[@Restalaan] (YNG)~ The atomic breath from the dragon-like monster scattered the Order troops protecting the wagons and allowed you to wreak havoc. As Footmen fell one by one to your martial prowess and Freyr's arrows, your search for the keys proved fruitless. The Order forces were beginning to regroup and the dismounted Knights approaching you looked like they could match you in combat. "[color=aba000]Ate![/color]" Your attention was called by one of the prisoners. "[color=aba000]Iyong susi na kay Krik![/color]" He pointed to the red-armored Varjan Warlord. "[color=aba000]Na kay Krik iyong susi! Iyong susi, ate! The keys![/color]" The other prisoners repeated his words and also pointing at the Warlord. "[color=aba000]Palayain niyo kami and we can help![/color]" You saw the Warlord block an arrow shot and ice shard with his shield which he soon discarded, feeling it useless. "[color=ed1c24]Get them! Someone get them! What are your horses for?![/color]" He angrily barked at the still-mounted Knights. "[color=ed1c24]Go! Go! Attack! Have no fear! I shall guard the prisoners![/color]" Seeing you, he pointed his sword at you. "[color=ed1c24]You! You dare test yourself against Krik the Beheader?![/color]" He challenged you. However, you sense a bit of fear in his words. ~[@13org] (FYR), [@AzureKnight] (NAG)~ [u]Freyr[/u] and [u]Nagare's[/u] attacks have supported Yang as the monk battled her way through the Footmen and the dismounted Knights. "[color=royalblue]Freyr! You two have incoming![/color]" Haley shouted from above. And like she said, some five Knights have made their way to [u]Freyr[/u] and [u]Nagare's[/u] position. Their lances held high and with a battle cry, their speed picked up. "[color=royalblue]Freyr! Nagare! Look out![/color]" The two monsters were about to be impaled by the Knights' sharp lances if they don't do something about it. ~[@AzureKnight] (VRA)~ As you stood dumbfounded by Titanica's power, you watched the battle unfold with Titanica fighting the Paladin and three knights while the other guild members fought the rest of the Order prison caravan. You and Neil were at a distance from the battlefield. It seem it would be safe to-- "VARĂ, WATCH OUT!" You heard Neil yell at you from behind. You turn around just to narrowly evade a spear thrust from a stray Footman. Despite evading the attack, you still stumbled to the ground after losing your footing. The Footman was about to thrust his spear again when someone tackled him to the ground and saving you from death. Or at least a lot of pain. That someone was Neil and you watched him and the Footman wrestle and fight. The Footman may just be a Footman but he was still a bit of a fighter, something that Neil was not. The Footman gained the upper hand and with one punch to the face, he managed to stun Neil long enough for him to pick up his spear and attack the boy. Neil recovered but he found himself holding the spear from piercing his body. His strength was not enough and the spearhead inched ever closer to his face. [hr] [b]Fetch Quest[/b] ~[@Lmpkio] (MOR)~ [quote=Morgan][color=f7941d][b]"I think we should wait. As long as we keep low and stay out of sight, I think they shouldn't see us..."[/b][/color][/quote] "Alright then." Ian replied briefly. Thus, the trio waited, watching the Wardogs for any sign of major movement. After several minutes, the pack began to move and leave the area. "Well, they're moving out. Let's get moving too." The mercenary knight went in once the pack was completely gone and began gathering the herb ingredients into a sack. Albeit slowly and carefully. "These things are pretty fragile so one needs care and finesse when extracting them." "You know, you and your guild are starting to make a name for yourselves around here. The usual pub talk has you guys as one of the topics. I was there when your guild started, you know? I wasn't there-there but I was one of the first request posters. You guys grow up so fast..." While Ian began to ramble, you then come face to face with a lone Wardog who apparently strayed from the pack. The hound stared at you for a second before pouncing on you, its sharp teeth trying to get a bite on your neck. "Hey, you guys alright there? Can't really turn around since these things require lots of attention." [hr] [b]Ambran First[/b] ~[@Restalaan] (DIT)~ [quote=Ditzy Stoneclub]"So where's the Zip-pant-geese are?"[/quote] "[color=a36209]They're currently in a theater nearby. Come on, we've no time to waste![/color]" The two men led you inside Ambran and past its busy streets. The town had not changed much since your last visit. It was still the same, home to all sorts of merchants and strangers. You and the two men eventually reach what seemed to be a theater house. "[color=a36209]This is the place. Get ready.[/color]" Ioseb then pointed. "[color=598527]вон там![/color]" From the theater house emerged a trio of men dressed in foreign, Eastern clothes and in their hands were various exotic instruments. "[color=a36209]There! Get them![/color]" The three Zipanguese men immediately noticed that they were a target for some reason and, feeling threatened, began to flee. "[color=a36209]They're trying to escape![/color]" "[color=a36209]Mister Stoneclub, do something before they get away![/color]"
