[color=steelblue]"Impressive,"[/color] Dalious said as Lapis killed one of the naked people.  He watched her go back into hiding, seeing from her facial expression that the act was hard on her.  Killing was never easy, even when your life depended on it.  The pirate was already struggling with the nineteen or so people he had killed in his life, but this was not the time to think on such matters.

He turned to see Arthur kill the assassin that he had previously been fighting, the boy seemed to take it much better than Lapis seemed to.  [color=steelblue]"Hey, that one counts as mine!"[/color]

The fighting looked to be nearing a close, in their favor.  Just the assassin leader and one other assassin left.  Dalious knew his team could handle the leader so he cut off the other assassin and held his cutlass up to him.

[color=steelblue]"You lot are defeated, stand down and we'll let you live,"[/color]he told him, but the attacker lunged forward anyway.  Dalious easily deflected his strike, then knocked the assassin's blade away.  Dalious hit the assassin with the hilt of his sword, bringing the man to his knees.  The pirate sheathed his weapon, only to pull out his crossbow and aim it at the defeated man's face.

As he loaded the weapon with a bolt, more for a show of dominance than anything, he spoke, [color=steelblue]"It's over mate, look around.  We have you completely defeated!"[/color].  Dalious gestured toward the room.  Immediately they watched Ashe go toward the leader, only to trip on a corpse and bash her head on the floor.  [color=steelblue] "...she uhm...she meant to do that.  A scare tactic, of course."[/color]

Dalious cleared his throat, then slapped the assassin with his free hand.  [color=steelblue]"Nevermind that!  You killed all these innocent people, and for what?  Why!?  Who are you, more importantly who sent you after us!!  Who in the hells....."[/color]. Dalious, in his anger, accidentally squeezed the trigger of his crossbow and fired the bolt direct into the assassin's face.  The man flopped over dead.  [color=steelblue]"Oh, shite!!  Oops."[/color]
