Takedown
Characters: Darkwatcher, Valdker, Livune, Crystal, Skrag (Darkwatcher spoofs) Various vermin gang rabble (Everybeast spoofs!)
The evening sun is sinking as several figures move across the path: Raggedly dressed, disorganized rabble led by a scumbag who goes by the name of Skrag. Little do they know that this will be the last sundown they will ever see...
In the wooded area next to the path, Darkwatcher lies in wait. His mottled grey camoflague cloak makes him difficult to see. He has an arrow knocked to his longbow, and nods to the other mercenaries, signaling them to move up.
Crystal catches the signal, and draws her twin daggers from their sheathes. She's positioned on the opposite side of the road, hiiden in a clump of bushes.
Livune silently Slides up under the undergrowth near Darkwatcher, a throwing dagger in each paw
Valdker Stands with his short form pressed aginst a tree, his axe and hammer drawn.
Darkwatcher releases an arrow, and one of Skrag's minions falls without a sound.
( One of the other rats who is on guard turns to say something to his comrade. "...Oy! Wot da 'ell 'appened to Bilgetail?..." He falls with a gurgle as another arrow finds its mark. )
Crystal decides not to get up yet, grinning maliciously as the two fall. She does slink quietly towards them, still trying to stay hidden.
( Livune takes a moment to mark his targets then lets the pair of throwing daggers fly one after the other each aimed at a sperate rats neck )
Valdker Moves Closer to Livune while trying to stay silent and out of sight, he needs to get up to engage the vermin
Darkwatcher creeps toward his targets, and takes down another lowlife robber with a throwing blade.
The gang's leader, Skrag, draws a sickle-shaped blade and searches for the unseen assailents.
Crystal moves towards the edge of the road, preparing to go paw to paw. She looks across, trying to catch Vladker's eyes so they can go together. she bites her tongue in anticipation, creeping inch by inch towards the open ground and the bandits.
Livune Draws a second set of throwing daggers, this time takeing aim at a singe rat and letting one fly, he holds the second for a moment before he aims it at another rats foot paws
The first target hits the ground with a cry, spattering blood everywhere.
Valdker drops to a crouch as he nears Livunes position, he notes Crystals eyes and starts to shift himself forward weapons raised
Darkwatcher knocks an arrow and takes down a raggedly-dressed weasel bearing an old rusty hatchet.
Skrag watches the weasel fall, shrugging indifferently, then moves toward the sound of movement at the side of the road opposite of darkwatcher's position
Crystal gives a hiss and jumps at a ferret trying to flee into the forest. He's quickly dispatched with two slashes, and she locks blades with an overweight, smelly stoat.
The stoat brings his rusty, hook-like dagger up and over for a clumsy yet brutal downward slash
Livune Flings the second throwing dagger at a rats footpaws, after doing so he pulls his buckler from its strap and quickly fixes it to his forearm, he then draws the pair of long daggers from his belt and starts gently twirling them as he inches closer to the main body of the enemy
A marten bearing a club attempts to bum-rush Livune
Valdker Moves out onto the road all attempts to remain silent gone, he raises his hammer first then charges straight into a ferret and attempts to bring it down on that ferret while he holds his hand axe back in reserve
Darkwatcher is and has been on the road by now, and is slaughtering robbers left and right with his daggers Shadowbolt and Darkrunner
Crystal slices the stoat across the jaw and as he fells to his knees, she locks eyes with Skrag, and moves towards him, dispatching the downed stoat with a quick downward thrust.
Darkwatcher sprints toward Skrag, finishing a downed rat with a brutal jab to the throat.
On seeing the marten comeing at him Livune throws one of his long daggers at the martens arm while droping into a crouch and then punches upward with the sharpend edge of his buckler, straight at the martens neck
Livune's assailent falls with a scream, dead.
Valdker Belts the ferret in the nose with his axe handle after missing the initial hammerswing, he then brings the hammer back around hard into the ferrets midrif, as the ferret falls Valdker strikes him on the beack of his head with his hammer
Crystal advances towards Skrag and the remaining few vermin, daggers at the rady.
Skrag draws a rusty hatchet, holding it in one paw and his sword in the other.
Livune Throws the other long dagger with a whirl towards a stoat that had gettin behind Valdker then he draws the oddly shaped pair of daggers from his leg scabbards and also starts to move towards Skrag
The stoat collapses, never to rise again.
Darkwatcher holds Darkrunner in his left paw, held normally, and Shadowbolt in his right paw, in a reverse grip. He grins villianously, and speaks to the gang leader with contempt. "So...they call you Skrag, eh? Well, I'll skrag you alright.."
Valdker Steps over the ferret he felled and quickly rams into another rat and tries to bring his axe down on the rats arm while throwing a punch with is hammer haft aimed at the rats snout ( Valdker is staying on the fringes of the main fight mopping up)
Crystal moves closer to Shrag, letting Darkwatcher do the talking. She's not in a great mood and her words confirm this, "Can we kill this idiot and get out of here?"
Livune Holds his buckler arm infront of his chest as he advances on Skrag while keeping Valdker in his line of sight
Skrag's anguished cries echoe throughout Mossflower as Darkwatcher's blades do their deadly work...nice and SLOW. Even the most cold-hearted villian would blanch at the sight of Darkwatcher slowly carving and butchering Skrag, coming up with what he does as he goes...making it all the more painful. Small bloody chunks soon litter the ground.
After scoreing a grazeing hit with his axe and missing the rats snout with his fist Valdker side steps the rats wild dagger thrust and brings his hammer down on the rats knee cap. After the rat falls screaming in pain Valdker steps on the rats dagger arm and surveys the field.
The field is covered in something akin to what would happen if the occupants of a city were put through a processed meat facility.
Crystal stands with bloody daggers still in each paw, watching calmly as Darkwatcher butchers Skrag. Her only injury is a small slash on her shoulder, which she cleans, like all cats, with her tongue.
Livune Calmly watches Darkwatchers specticale for a moment before he heads over towards Valdker and starts retriveing his long daggers and a few of his throwing daggers
Darkwatcher begins doing the same with his own, now VERY bloodstained, throwing knives. He examines one of them. "Huh! Stainless steel indeed."
Darkwatcher begins digging through the loot the robbers had on them, he divides the sacks of gold evenly and tosses an equal amount to each mercenary. "Told you this would be profitable...and this is all just side earnings."
Valdker Kicks the dagger out of his still whimpering captives paw, the rat has a slight slash on its arm and a leg that is bent the worng way at the knee
Crystal wipes her daggers clean and sheathes them before catching her share of the money and hiding it away for spending later. "So what now? Leave the bodies and," she looks at the remains of Skrag, "Chunks here to rot in the middle of the road?" she sounds like she'd be just fine with that.
Livune comes up next to Valdker and Looks over to Darkwatcher " Gorra live un, wah ya wanna do wiv em? "
Darkwatcher grins maliciously. "Amuse yourself."
Valdker Pokes the still whimpering rat with his hammer before he turns and nods to Livune, he then grabs the rat and hoists it over his shoulders, as it sqeals in protest livune raps the rat aquare on the head with his buckler setting the rat out cold. Valdker then starts packing the rat towards Ferravale
