*Alex scoffs with frustration as he looks at the barriers.*

"Son of a bitch..."

*He dispels his own barrier and leaps at one of the alleyway walls, attempting to push himself just above the barriers the mage has created for him. He then attempts to jump over the walls to get above the mage, firing one of his bolts down at him as he falls down. If the bolt connects, he also attempts to punch down at the man and kill him with the spiked arm.*

``Chain Reaction casted. Because 8 mana regenerated, only 12 mana is used. 78.5/130 Mana``

*Unfortunately there wasn't any exposed flesh on the neck, and with the guard's reinforced skin the swords don't penetrate deep, at most nicking his skin. The guard continues to crush your hand as his hand glows and exerts 4x as much force of that of an Olympic wrestler. The sound of bones grinding and snapping can be heard as his grip only continues to grow stronger.*
"Let's see how well you can hold your blade after this you piece of-"

*His head would then dip down and would fall onto his knees, releasing his grip on Arthur, as Kaisa comes from above and body slams the guard's head to the ground with her pointed shield. The impact along with the damage already done by Arthur and Kaisa's previous attack would destroy the helmet, exposing the guards head/neck. However as she would bend over and attempt to punch the guard in the groin, she would feel a dull pain on her knuckles, almost as if she had punched a steel board, but the guard would still buckle over in pain from the impact.* 
"....That's a dirty blow, you bitch..."

*As for Syele, she would be able to make her way across the barriers and be in position to drop the rocks atop of the crystal guard's head. He would seem to be preoccupied with Alexander, allowing the rocks to collide with his skull. The guard would have his head slam into the ground, clearly bleeding from the impact on his skull. The walls moving toward Alexander would then stop moving, giving him the opportunity to jump over and launch his chain reaction, stunning the guard even further. Unable to move, the guard would be easy pickings for Alex to leap over and crush his skull with his spiked arm. The walls that were summoned would then all deteriorate and crumble to the ground. It would seem the battle here is almost over*

*Unfortunately, things didn't seem to be going as smoothly for Almann. With his reinforced strength, he would be able to knock out the crying guard with one strong blow to the head. Looking up he would see a nearby rundown building that could provide a good vantage point to shoot down, but it would seem he wouldn't have the time to do so as the guild doors burst open with 6 lightly armored individuals pointing their crossbows at him.*

"You've come to wrong neighborhood pretty boy"

*6 crossbow bolts would then take flight aiming at various parts of Almann's body, not caring in particular that he was standing over one of their guildmates*

*With the guard continuously squeezing down on Arthur's sword hand, he eventually got forced to drop his blade onto the floor. He grunted and groaned in mild agony as his bones snapped before him; judging from the points of where the pain was concentrated the most, he had broken a couple of finger bones. Soon after, though, he had felt the pain suddenly release as the guard's grip on him completely slackened and fell off. With Kaisa's emergence to the playing field, she had completely destroyed the guard's helmet, leaving his neck open at last. As the guard buckled over in pain, Arthur wove in to kick him down onto the floor again. Once he got onto the floor, if he did, he would use his Hellfire Blades, having them each slash vertically downwards at his neck, attempting to decapitate the guard's head completely.*
``` No magic cast. 5 mana regained. Remaining mana: 68.75/170 ```

*Kaisa would shake off her right hand, the one she punched the guard with, and kicked him in the same spot after Arthur tripped him for the matter* "Everyone ok?"
Stanley
*Alex chuckles some more as he wipes the blood of the now dead guard on the guard's clothes.

He watches Arthur and Kaisa take on the guard silently. They're already doing it, why should he bother?*

_Almann casts 'Bronze Shield in front of himself (as close as it can be to intercept the crossbow bolts), and 'Bronze Heel' to increase his running speed. Then he'd have to choose whether to fight or take flight away from these men. Seeing as they don't have any sort of face protection, he can get into close quarters with these men, they don't seem to be accustomed to fighting hand-to-hand_ 

```A 5ft tall physical and magical bronze barrier appears in front of Almann, costing him 10 mana while also casting Bronze Heel, which increases his speed from 24 -39 mph costing an additional 10 mana. In total, 20 mana leaving him with 75 left in the pool.```
John
*Arthur would kick the man over and launch his hellfire blades at his neck. However, the guard's steel skin was still active, making it too difficult to decapitate the guard. However the swords would puncture his jugular's and would start bleeding profusely. The guard would only be able to cough up more blood as Kaisa kicked his jewels as the light of life quickly fades from his eyes.* 

*Almann would cast his shield, being able to block 2 of the incoming bolts before having the shield shatter. However, he would be hit by 3 of the 4 remaining bolts coming at him, hitting his shoulder, thigh, and hip. The 4th shot misses you as you start to run toward them, but unfortunately hits the poor lad that you knocked unconscious in the neck, quickly forming a pool of blood. As you assess the situation, the 6 individuals would drop their crossbows and pull out shortswords, all of whom take a defensive stance waiting to see what Almann does next*

"Must say you got guts, but do you think you can overcome a 6 to 1 advantage? I assume the 'boss' sent you? You must either be very skilled, or the 'boss' is running of money to send anymore"
Brandie
*As Arthur watched the flames of life leave the guard's cold body, he turned to Almann, who seemed to be having trouble with the six marksmen he was dealing with. His flames had run out, so he reverted back to his original, base state of 1.5 general speed. They weren't very far from the looks of it, but they had drawn their swords from their sheaths and slowly advanced upon Almann, who had taken 3 crossbow bolts to his thigh, shoulder, and hip.*

*As they drew ever so nearer to Almann, Arthur wrought the shield from the dead guard's arm, holding the shield with his left hand as he charged to the guard closest to him at full speed, hoping to ram him over with the shield. If successful, he would aim a slash at the knocked over guard, using his other Hellfire Blades to enhance the attack. Aiming one blade to the guard's left shoulder, the other aimed towards his right hip, and Rasmus slashing down at the guard's midsection.*
**No magic cast.**
Roger
*Kaisa would see Almann facing 6 opponents, which she didn't think he could face. Making sure not to hit Arthur, she casts Flaming Barrage, and the pods on her back open in the back. 3 darts from each pod (6) fly towards each of the enemies*
```Flaming Barrage cast, 45 mana spent, 14 regained, 53/100 mana remaining```
Neal
*With the walls now gone Syele would grab several of the rocks that remained mostly the sharper ones with a bit of weight to them and then rush around the building to regroup at the front after hearing some fighting going on. Once realizing there was six individuals all getting hit with a flaming barrage she'd suddenly load one of the rocks in her sling and launched one of them toward the closet individuals in the path.*
Ranae
_Almann should've put up two shields, but now he can focus on getting away. He yanks out the bolts in his hip and thigh, as they'd cause him the most trouble when running away. The pain didn't matter, in the steppes they'd train the young ones to absorb kicks from their rounceys directly, often breaking bone in doing so. His shoulder aches though, he wouldn't be able to aim properly with it._

_Almann abandons the body and proceeds to run away, aiming with his good arm a Bronze Lance at the center mass of one of the men._

```Almann, using his speed runs away from the engagement, still using Bronze Heel. He has removed two of the crossbow bolts (the one in his thigh, and the other in his hip. He shoots a Bronze Lance at the center mass of one of the guards. The Bronze Lance moves at 120 fps, and has a broad tip. This uses an additional 15 mana, leaving him with 65 due to a +5 in regeneration.```
Stanley
*Alexander follows the rest of his little posse to the guards attacking Almann. He sighs. While he doesn't like Macen at all, he supposes he needs to try to keep this one alive.

He aims another Chain Reaction at the chest of one of the men. He wouldn't be much good as a crowd controller, but he can still try to take some enemies down.*

**Chain Reaction casted. Only 12 mana used because of regen. 66.5/130 Mana.**

*As Arthur charged the nearest guild member, his footsteps would be heard causing the member to turn just in time to parry Arthur's shield bash. However, this parry would leave him open to Arthur's hellfire blades penetrate his shoulder and hip. As Arthur would swing Remus at the members midsection though, given that his hand hadn't fully healed, the swing would be a bit too slow, allowing the member to leap to the side out of harms way and attempt to counter by bringing his blade down on Arthur's extended arm. However, Syele's rock thrown would collide with the member's head, throwing their aim off and instead hit the crossguard of Remus*

*Kaisa's barrage would make impact with the guards, injuring and burning them to a certain degree, but not enough to for killing blow. However, they serve to gain their attention, Allowing Almann to run away as he launches his Bronze Lance, impaling one of the guard members through the chest as they fall over coughing up blood. The distraction would also allow Alexander to land his chain reaction onto the chest of another guild member, causing them to fall to the ground shaking as electricity coursed through their chest*

***Overall enemy situation***
-1 guard killed by Almann Lance
-1 guard having a seizure from Alexander's Chain Reaction
-guard Arthur is fighting is very injured with a hip and shoulder wound
-all guards are slightly injured from Kaisa's barrage
Neal
*Syele decided it was best to keep her distance for the time being and got closer enough to Arthur to support him with one of her healing speeds so that his hand could at least perform a bit better. She'd cast 'Walk it off.' in the hopes that the injury would sustain for now and that he would have a bit more energy flowing through him afterwords.*
```Casted 'walk it off.' 25 mana used. 75/100 remaining.```
Roger
*Kaisa would rush towards the guards, holding her shield up and having her arm blade spring out. She would punch one guard in the head and stab at another in the neck*
```14 mana regained, 67/100 mana remaining```
Brandie
*As Arthur's arm slowly got better over time, he regained the former speed of his sword strikes. He would estimate that it would take him a bit longer before his arm had fully healed up, but he could feel his speed and his strength come back as the seconds passed. It wasn't quite there yet, so Arthur unleashed another attack of the same manner at the guard he had downed, aiming for the exact same wounds as before. He counted on the fact that his swords would dig deep enough into the wounds to strike a vital organ, or they'd be so deep in that the guard would die of shock.*
``` No Magic cast. 5 mana regained. Remaining mana: 73.75/170```

_Almann rips the other crossbow bolt out of his shoulder and moves closer to the engaged guards. He gets close enough to launch a Spiked Stone Fist from the palm of his hand at the head of one of the guardsmen, attempting to knock him out instead of killing him._

```Almann shoots a Spiked Stone Fist at one of the guards, this stone fist is twice the size of a normal fist, and travels at a speed of 150 ft/s. This costs him 3.75 in mana, leaving him with 61.25/100 mana.```
Stanley
*Alexander adjusts his mask before approaching the injured soldier Arthur is attacking as quickly as possible and swinging a punch at the man's back of the neck. Hopefully, as the man is distracted, the punch will be enough to off him, and the spiked knuckles will puncture something.*
