[hider=Vani's absolutely genius plan that had a 100% success rate]
Vani hadn't really expected much from thsi plan to begin with. After all, battle hardened soldiers were just as likely to skewer a civilian for fear of them being a spy than listen to their warnings. Thankfully, Kaze had more muscle than he did brains as he spied the lizardman blitz forward, injuries and all. ...What an idiot. 

The pot calling the kettle black would, after Kaze's charge, bolt forward after getting on his knees for a proper running start. The smoke kept the archers at bay, and with their attention divided the soldiers that did see Vani coming wouldn't have the time they needed to rally against him. One-on-one, he was more than a match for the run-of-the-mill soldier, but even if the odds were six-on-one, the panic furthered his advantage. He was probably able to take on like...a whole army. The math doesn't lie. Math Vani cannot do.

What he could do however was finally stop talking and start cutting, his sword now bared against the enemy as the combined force of him, Kaze, Yinha's angelic soldier, and the unstoppable Serafaye crashed into them like a wave. A soldier that was attacking Kaze met his end, and in his place Vani would emerge, cutting into the side of one of the spearmen, then another.

[color=FFDEAD][b]"Its rude to ignore other people's advice, you know!"[/b][/color] he shouted, hoping that a way to deal with the archers would present itself amidst the smoke. He didn't have a nice way up...but he could act as a springboard for someone else. Someone that wasn't Kaze, given his immense size.
