"Why Run... THIS could be fun! Rowan says as he draws a his crude cudgel from under his cloak that is now tossed to the ground.
As the patrol starts to sound a rouse, two of the few guards drop limply to the ground with short, crude arrows sticking from their chests. A squeek and malicious laugh comes from the rooftops across the street from where Ematai was watching.
An unuseually large goblin with a bright red Mo-Hawk is dancing about with a small bow in hand. Rowan yells up to the rooftop "durn you Klaxx! Save some for me!"
A rumble starts to grow in the barbarians chest, and it might just be a trick of the lamp lights or the adrenalin of the fight... but somewhere in your mind you are sure Rowans bulk grows even larger, his loose chain shirt fits snugly now and his eyes... his eyes where they glowing a dull yellow?
Malek and Shadow both dart into the shadows of the surrounding buildings to "get a better posistion" as the mass of Rowan starts chargeing down the street at the now bewildered guards.
Three of the guards yell "Shite! Its a Dragoon!" Two of them belch out; with knowing and feared looks in thier faces, "Its that barbarian from last month!" and all five turn to scatter.
That leaves the captian general; an older man who was once a warrior from the slave pits before fighting his way into Lloracs military, and five other of the patrol who were to brave... or to stupid to run.
Rowan notices... in the slowed speed of the minds eye during a fight, that the girl is next to him with steel drawn. He also sees both Shadow and the new comer making their way around to be behind the guards that stayed. No one is quite sure what the to-big-to-be-natural goblin on the roof-tops is doing, but we can all hear his bloodlust filled laughter and gutteral singing coming from the rooftops.
Just as Rowan's shield crashes into the generals own....

Malek's eyes floated to Shadow, then to Rowan, then back to Shadow. They both nodded and ducked into the alleys between the buildings as he charged past. Malek's smile grew 10 times larger as he grabbed ahold of a torch rack riveted to the side of a building and swung himself up to a balcony. He dove across to the next building's balcony grabbing onto it and swung back down to the ground. He quickly ran along the side of the next building and pushed himself off slashing the legs of one of the fleeing guards.
He rolled along the ground and quickly leaped onto a merchant cart and dropped onto another of the cowards, pushing him face first into a melon and kicked his knees hard so they buckled. He then darted quickly around the side of the next building and found himself just a few feet behind the fray just at the moment that Rowan's shield connected with the veteran captain...

Klaxx watches as a member of the watch runs in his direction. Jumping from the roof to land in front of him. The watchman with sword drawn swings and gets Klaxx in the leg, putting a nice gash. "You will pay for that" Klaxx says as his sword is removed from its sheath. With another one down Klaxx starts to limp over to join the rest in the fight.

Pumping with adrenaline, Shadow darted down the alleyway with Malek, quickly diverging paths, Malek almost not noticing. As Malek acrobated over to take several of the fleeing ones, Shadow rebounded up to a second floor, climb another ladder to the roofs, and looked out with keen eyesight in the night. Distinctly finding two patrolmen huddling nearby, Shadow takes a small pouch strung loosely from his satchel attaching to his belt, removed a hand-full of metal slivers the same length of his hands and about one centimeter in diameter. Throwing with precise aim, two shards slashed across the recruits legs, immobilizing them.
Moving a few houses down, Shadow hears the distinct break of bones coming from the men Malek had chased, and the savage laughter of Klaxx roughly a quarter of a mile away. Rowan Standing as big as the buildings, was a sight to behind.
Quickly catching his attention was the hysterical few that ran to what seemed to be some sort of crude guard tower. Dengrave quickly realizing the situation forced Shadow's bracer to lash through his skin into his blood, fusing slight magic to have his corporeal form to catch them. Cracking into Dengrave's once fleshy state, Shadow cracked and groaned into what resembled a Nightwalker, but quickly sprang forward a dozen feet and melding into a liquid state of darkness and slithered quickly to the escaping patrolmen who had gone to warn.
Realizing his friend had stopped as they had gone to warn the regiment, He turned back to see him lieing in a pool of his own blood. About to scream, he stops hearing a whisper. "I wouldn't do that if I were you," cackled Dengrave from Shadow's original flesh, fire burning in his eyes, knife around the watchmen's throat.
"Only a handful, nothing bothersome to this town!" trembled the recruit, quickly realizing his mistake. Dengrave gouged out the man's chest. Shadow returning to control his own body, quickly fell to his knees, his body still growing to its original state. His energy sapped, he collapsed after walking only a few feet, and could only hope that his companions had caught sight of him running down the main part of the town to catch the men who went for reinforcements. As he closed his eyes, he could see Rowan in the distance and caught sight of Ematai, a smudge of darkness in comparison to Rowan, moving quickly about the men. Shadow gave a sigh of relief and was thankful for once to had Dengrave in him.
[OOC: Sorry for length, thought I'd detail my portion since I've missed out. Yay for getting caught up!]

*2 Months Later*
Ematai strutted up the shallow hill, dancing along to imaginary music. She was wearing a deep green tunic with black pants, holding her shoes in one hand and a flower in the other. She loved the meadow they were in.
Rowan watched the girl as she lead the way through the meadow. She was quite a character, he thought to himself. Not quite knowing what else to think of her. She was nice, though can skip out on fights easily, slipping away just as they began and coming back either when they're over or just before they get over. None the less, she had gotten them some nice clothes and gold for food. He never asked where she got the stuff. Better not to know he always said, or thought to himself.
The rest of the group followed, talking amongst themselves, though Lamp was walking next to Ematai, their friendship growing as their journey continues.
[sorry. Crappy post but I kinda wanna get it going again. I forget where they are going or what they are doing and I don't feel like reading everything again so they're on a journey, the whole lot of them. Maybe against Llorrac. Who knows. Someone else make it up too. It is an add to the story story]

*Sadera looked around the area she was in, reading in silence, her black and gold silk dress fluttering every once in a while with a gentle breeze. She read on in her book..."gingerly she stepped..." ... Sadera looked up, hearing something, or someone in the meadow behind her. Legs stood to carry her to the nearby tree, peering around it to see a group of people, mainly the girl with the flower and shoes. Brows raised over gold flecked violet eyes and she stayed hidden, ink black hair spilling over her shoulder.*
*Nimble, slender fingers grasped the hilt of her dagger strapped to her thigh, just in case these people happened to be dangerous. She stepped out cautiously, wondering if they'd see her, and if they did, what they'd do..."
