The brigands, confident they could take on the two women and the kobold, readied their weapons to take them down. Alive, for nefarious purposes. However just as the lead bandit took out a bolt to load his bowgun you were already upon him in a flash. He didn't even see you coming as your staff cracked him across the skull, the sound of bones breaking under neath the hardwood. He let out a bloody gasp before you kicked him in the gut, knocking him sprawling back with a broken skull, three broken ribs, and a punctured lung. The laughter stopped seeing you swiftly take down one of the bandits. ^Protect the Faithful!^ Once more a shimmering aura appeared around you as Pylia warded you with protective magics, as Pylia herself joined the fray. "Vile hereatics, burn!" Raising her warclub at one of the crossbow armed brigand, Pylia shouted out her magic words once more. ^Summon Holy Fire!^ The unsuspecting brigand looked at Pylia before he was engulfed in flames. Not even the rain soaking his body would do anything to quench these radiant fires. As he screamed and vainly tried to put the flames out, Shortfang ran up alongside Pylia and fired a bolt right into the neck of the brigand. He gurgled his dying words as he feel face first into the mud, just as the flames receded. "You die now!" He shouted to the brigands. The remaining three steeled themselves for battle. One with a crossbow took out a horn and blew it, creating a very loud and deep bellow that was responded with by another bellow not too far. The other two bandits then converged onto you, seeing that you were the closest and current the biggest threat. Unlike the goblins who attacked with mostly fury, these bandits handled their swords with more skill. The first came with a blow aimed for your head, but then he expertly feinted into a cut across your body. Or it would have, had the protective barrier that Pylia put onto you hadn't deflected the blow. The brigand looked so confident as his blade slashed across your body, however not even a single thread on your outfit was harmed. The second tried to flank with his ally and made a much more predictable strike towards your arm, which you were able to defend yourself from easily after the failed attack from the first.
