OOC: I was gonna post ealier. Meh. >.> And raiden, sorry if this sounds like an auto hit. >.>
BIC:
Crystal's quick eyes followed Raiden, her first wave of fear whipping away, anger courseinf through her plusing veins. Clacking her teeth with hartred, Crystal's mind roamed back to the Nortlands, where she was born, and had almost lost her life by mean means; posion, arrows, wounds... All the 'souviners you never lose' of war still remained, though covered by her thick, warm fur.
As Raiden came back, her heart skipped a beat as she saw the mouse running along, holding her blade, about as long as he was tall. (He IS a mouse, and a battlesword is normally half the height of it's weilder. Crystal's sword is even bigger because it was her father's. >.>) He thrust her massive weapon through the cage bars, and her warrior blood pounded through her brain. She had already put away her battlesword by the time he freeded his wife.
As Song's lock opened easily, Crystal twitched with bloodlust. (Not bloodwrath. Blood just makes Crys REALLY happy. XD.) He began to work on her cage, hacking at the lock. As he depreatly stuck it one last time, the vixen threw her whole weight against it, howling as she did, it didn't matter, they were already almost going to get caught again. "Rosepaw!! The light of the moon and stars fuels my body and the darkness of the moonless night sets my heart to light!"
She fell to her knees as they rushed at her. Horribly, sences of war rushed back, and the pitiable slaves that had once been her parent's comrades. She stood, unarmed between Raiden and Song, razor like claws streched out in front of her. Looking down at her comrades, she saw Song start to run. Crystal threw her left paw out, trying to cacth the fleeing maid.
"I dunno who Laif is, but you can't free her if you die trying! Better to walk away a hero with free comrades than to lay dead with your mates enslaved, understand?! Not my words, my brother's, and I beg you heed his wisdom!" Crystal gsped the words out, then whipped her head back to face the undenyable doom pressing in on them. "Are you all ready? I hope you are! It's more than likely we'll die where we stand, but fate let us take as many of these beasts we can to Hellgates with us!"

**Song's furious expression of hatred softened slightly, before coming back in full as she glared at the vermin. They would pay dearly. So would Brawn. Damnnit! Where was that squirrel? A Voice hurtled out of a bush. Brawn! The maid's mind raced and she was stopped from her headlong rush by the claws of A fox.
She looked over and up at the animal, and figured she was a friend. WHat difference did it make. Sharp claws in her face? Or a freed friend. THen she realized. I'm a healer. ** Well, Lets get this show on the road, It might be my last.

OOC: Crys, Raiden's old claymore was about his height, and he's tall for a mouse. I'll post IC when I get home.

OOC: K sorry, this is very rushed caus ei gotta get the bus......, 'n I figured out how I'd get Kaden back in
BIC:
The chieftan's son ran as fast as his chubby paws could carry him, as he towed Laif with a rope leash. Suddenly, a tree branch that was pulled back then released struck him in the face. He landed on his back and his head hit a rock making him unconcious. From behind the tree, Kaden stepped out and nodded to Laif. Quickly, he began to cut her bonds...

It's time to get this party started. And I don't mean with drinks.
**Raiden's longsword found it's mark in a rat's chest as the beast tried to stab him with a cutlass. As soon as the rat went limp, Raiden entered his zone; He became living engine of death and destruction. The paws that once razed villages would once again find only destruction to be caused in their grasp.**
AVE GLORIOSA IMPERIALIS ADDO OF MORTIS!!!!
**Despite the restrictions of heavy platemail armour no matter how few pieces were worn, Raiden's furious strength and energy seemed boundless. The vermin would pay for the pain he and his friends had suffered.**
Hell gates will find many customers this night. I won't be one... Not if I can help it.
For honour and glory! For the clan! For the Guardians Of Mossflower!!
**It would be a red night for those who came at the mouse with murderous intent. Like an avatar of some bloodthirsty God, the mouse slew all who leveled a blade at him. Those cowardly enought to try to kill him from behind were met with steel. Not Raiden's, but Zahi's.**
No cowardly beast touches my husband and gets away with it.
**With one dagger in paw, Zahi furiously parried attacks and countered with the scimitar of a fallen stoat that she had taken. Her usual grey outfit was almost as bloodstained as Raiden's armour. Her own blood had mixed with her foes from when she had been slammed against the tree earlier. Fresh bloodwas also drawn from the blows that got around her guard.**
**Suddenly, Raiden staggered and dropped onto one knee. A dagger had struck him in his un-armoured leg, it was just under an inch of steel... But it was enougth to cause the mouse to go down to his knee. The wolf who had stabbed his leg raised an axe to split Raiden's skull, helmet or no helmet, the blow would spell doom for the mouse. As the axe fell, only his reflexes saved him; The re-forged longsword made from the original Heaven's Judgement claymore flashed in front of the axe blade, taking the brunt of the blow. Placing a paw under the end of sword blade, the mouse robbed the blow of it's power.**
AVE IMPERIUM!
**Regardless of his leg wound, Raiden forced the larger beast back as he surged forward. The first and only blow he landed was enougth to sent the wolf to the dark forest.**
Death and destruction await all who meet my blade. On my oath, I'll burn this camp to the ground. My only regret will be leaving parentless childran in this horde...
**Raiden knew that he, his friends and wife would have to leave soon. But he at least wanted to raze the camp before that happened. Drawing backto his friends and Zahi, he whispered a plan while the vermin drew back for a few minutes to regroup.**
We won't hold out from another charge. Not even I have that much energy... I think we should run round the vermin by going through the trees. There's a wooden structure not far away, it's their armoury. if I can get to the fire, I can raze the tents. Crystal, if you feel like it, you can burn their armoury to a cinder. Those in favour since we don't have much time for proper planning?

OOC: Real life is killing me. A nearby bush shook, and Taundor walked out. "I agree with that." His sharp eyes took in the details and he smiled grimly at the carnage. "I see you all did a pretty good job dispatching the vermin. I hope you left some for me?" Taundor drew his swords and held them loosely, testing them on a tree trunk. "Someone fill me in on the details, please, and who's missing?"

" Kaden, thanks, again..." Laif said in relief. Suddenly her wrist was grabbed and she was forced to follow him back to the action.
" No problem...jus' stay close to me...fer now..." He said pausing. He had two blades drawn his short sword and sickle sword. First, he'd help his comrades out a bit, before running off to find that chieftan and killing him. " Sorry I'm late, jus' woke up..." Kaden grumbled, to Raiden, since he found himself fighting near him now. It was obvious the golden blonde ferret had been knocked out earlier, so he expected no questions.
Laif stood behind Kaden with two long knives just in case....
Kaden expertly slayed one weasel by catching its blade inbetween sickles, and then launching the blade to the side. Before the beast could react, Kaden slashed down on it with an 'x' swing.
The next three or so victims, Kaden slayed by using a parry, spin both blades, then slash technique he'd learned in his lands....

Huh? Wha? Another attack? Why do I even bother making plans anyway? They always seem to go wrong... Or fall apart before they can even begin...
**As Taundor showed up, Raiden grinned beneath his helmet. He and the wolf were such a team when they used a move they had developed in desperation many months before. Raiden used to use his claymore while Taundor would spin him around, but they hadn't seen each other in months, let alone fought together... Quite how their move would be affected with the shorter longsword, Raiden didn't know.**
Glad to see you are still around Taundor... I haven't seen your black fur for a while... There's me, Zahi, Crystal, Song, Kaden, Laif, and yourself... Come to think of it, I haven't seen Tasna, Rina, or Scratchfur since the taven brawl... But this is where the prisoners were, and are... Do you like the new sword Taundor? Horus made it from the remains of my claymore... Unfortunetly, our little team move won't have quite the range it used to...
**Raiden held the sword up for his friend to see, before glancing at the vermin approch.**
There will be time for more catching up later, should,and after we survive that is...
Raiden gets a gold-coloured parchment star for mindless over-confidence...
I like to look on the bright side of things...

*Tasna was running full speed toward the fight. She stopped as she heard a yell from farther away*
AVE IMPERIUM!
*She knew that yell. It was Raiden's voice. The otter speeded her run faster than she had ever done before. As she neared the camp, the otter slew an injured vermin who was struggling to escape*
...I haven't seen Tasna, Rina, or Scratchfur since the taven brawl.
*Tasna came to a halt just paces from the group* Did someone happen to mention my name? *She grinned as she pulled held her cutlass up to her chest, a motion that the adults from her village did. No longer did the ottermaid want to be ashamed by the way she was treated as a dibbun. If she was going to fight, she might as well do it hornorably*

Glad to see you're alive Tasna... Now, shall we all drive these foul brutes back, or implement my plan? We have about one minute before they charge into us to decide however.

*Tansa nodded* You too Raiden. Well... we could divide and conquer, watch each other's back or we could improvise. We could even just go wild and get rid of them all so that they will never threaten Guardians of Mossflower again.

I vowed to burn their camp down, but I'd have to get to that big fire to do so... Then use a bow and a few arrows to satisfy my oath... Head's up!
**Raiden side-stepped a rat's cleaver, before hammering his armoured elbow into the rat's temple. The rat dropped without a sound, the side of his head stove in.**
Anybeast got anything large, heavy, metal, and blunt? A warhammer perhaps? If not, We should hit their armoury to find a few... I sooooooooooooo wish Horus was here to bean our foes with his hammer...

I vowed to burn the camp down...
"Sorry matey, you'll have to run awfully fast to get to the fire before me!"
The fox, whom had for the most part stayed back, letting all the cowards running from Raiden come to er if Zahi didn't get them. Her fur and face was flecked with tiny drops, and even from the great distance, her facial features were glowing with a sinster anger. Her claws and fangs dripped venomishly, she hadn't had tme to draw her blade. Her eyes were bloodshot and she had a gash in her right shoulder, but she stood, fur on end with cold anger.
"Raiden, sorry to crash your party, but let the pyro fox play with fire. Those unfleet of paw and eye who pay with fire always get burned. I'd suggest following my orders, fire is unforgiveing, it doesn't care who or what it burns, and would kill you. I haven't the want as of yet, but I'm like a flashfire. I'll be back soon enough. Just stay clear of the camp while I work my magic."
Sweeping a large branch from the ground, Crystal gripped it in her fangs. With the speed to match a Galloper of the Long Patrol, Crystal took off towards the inferno, eyes blazeing like twin pits of emerald flames, her once somewhat pretty looks dead with her angry, deathly air. The fire reflected in her eyes. Her claws went out in a deadly whirl as she made an ernourmus leap. Useing the head of a fox, she thrust her paws into a low hang brach of a tree. Fangs clamping down of the bark, that was eaking sap into her mouth and dripped out, mixed with blood, she used the thin, green brach the bounce up farther on the branch to a part that would upport her weight for a moment.
OOC: Sorry for the Crap RP. And Raiden, no. Let the pyro person handle things, OK? I know alot about fire. Whee. And my burning may take a few RPs.

** Brawn's swift paws carried him to Songwind. She in turn, embraced him quickly before joining the fight...(lalalal>) She dashed over when Raiden was hurt. And smiled at Tasna, Her face still gentle amidst the somlenety. ** Stay still Rai, You gonna hurt yourself...

OOC: From 17-20, Raiden was a merc. He's razed entire villages in that time... Oh, and I'm more pyro than I look... Word of advice... Matches and three year-olds don't mix... I almost set fire to my old house... The coal fire needed lighting, and I thought I could do it... Boy was I wrong...
BIC: I have had experience with razing structeres... So much so, that I don't want to talk about it. Song, I'm fine. It's just a scratch... I've taken far worse in previous years...
**Raiden watched as Crystal departed into the tree.**
Foolish girl... One can not burn a camp and escape... Not if you set fire to each and every tent by paw. Run fast she says... My leg won't let me run... It will give way unless I'm careful
**The trees were so close that Raiden could almost touch them, but there was the matter of getting there... To keep his paws free, the mouse sheathed his sword. Limping slightly, he slipped into the tree line and made a bee-line, not towards the fire... Not yet at least... He made another trip to the currently un-guarded armoury. It was with great relish that he found both a longbow with a full quiver of arrows, and a few jars of oil.**
Who keeps oil in an armoury? No matter... I can keep my oath, and no teenage fox will turn me into an oath-breaker.
**With bow, quiver and oil, the mouse headed towards the fire. He knew that Crystal would either be there already, or would be on her way swiftly and would try to stop him either way. It would be of no matter... He'd burn the tents like he had that village, all those years before.**
Destruction may be my legacy, but it will no longer be the innocents who suffer, but my foes... My legacy will live through this night, and will continue to haunt my foes.
**He opened the top of one jar of oil, dipped an arrow in it, and fired higher than his target, through the top of the fire, but the blazing arrow fell short.**
Damn... Never was too good at archery... But I have to try... I must keep my oath...
**He selected two arrows from the quiver, but left one in the oil.**
FIRE IN THE HOLE!
**He fired the shaft through the flames, and it soared closer to the tents, until it struck a rope, almost touching the floor when it did so. The dry rope caught almost immediatly in the still night-time air.**
OOC: Like I said, Raiden keeps his oaths. For better or worse on the out-come, he will see them through to the end...
Now who's post sounds a bit like an auto hit Crys?
