The bandit unexpecting the force of Ferr's blow was tripped up and summarily finished by the blow to his neck as he fell to the floor choking on the sudden pain in his throat. The man hacked up some blood but it being lethal was up for question. The other bandit struggled as suddenly he was now in the face of two opponents instead of one. He tried to follow up on the shield but the gust of wind sent both him, and his allies falling to the ground. [b]"Bastards...if you wanna stop us you're going to have to kill us you know...the boss don't take half assed losers back!"[/b] growled the bandit whom had been fighting Auriel standing back up as a few of his companions writhed in pain on the floor. The bandit in question spit up blood, and his friend raised his hammer. [b]"Take the shield..."[/b] growled the bandit quietly as he charged back at Auriel his face still marked by her blow from her shaft. 

Cole twisted and turned parrying, and blocking the leader's attacks competently but not able to decisively overwhelm him. His lack of actual sword training prevented him from seeing the openings. He tried finding holes in this man's technique but when he did he was simply met with a last second block. The one thing he knew was the man's blade was starting to crack...this wouldn't last too much longer. As they met for another blade clash the bandit tried to spit into his eye but Cole moved his head out of the way. Cole barely heard the signal to move, and it was at the very last second he disengaged and rolled out of the way as the lance of light speared the bandit who's eyes went wide and sent him to the ground limp. [color=f7941d]"If that hit me I'd probably would've ended up unconscious! And stow it Ferr I'd like to see you take on the biggest guy in the group."[/color] Cole complained seeing as he stood up, and charged over to the enemy who had taken the chance to get into Auriel's face after the spear attack. He raised his short sword, and stabbed downward towards Auriel's abdomen. [b]"You let me close!"[/b] he growled.

The hammer bandit whom had ran over to Ferr swung his weapon wildly at Ferr he seemed more panicked than his other companion. His hammer was rather large and seemed hell bent on keeping Ferr still not so much hit him as he routinely went out of his way to hit his weapon rather than Ferr himself. Perhaps the plan was to keep him busy, or to hurt his hand until his friend could take care of Auriel. [b]"I'm not going to let you go you monster!"[/b]
