Fred
*A specific, though not specific figure could be seen appearing from the forest. It was pretty creepy honestly. A black cloaked person holding a halberd and... Wearing a Sallet in it's closed position. Wonder if it'll speak at all?

She seemed to be early, assuming that no one else was here... Or was there? She was unsure. Maybe there were people here and she hasn't noticed yet. If she hasn't... She'd be in big trouble*
Pablo
*Another figure would also arrive, also in a dark cloak. It seemed to be holding some sort of long object, potentially a weapon, and if one looked closely, they would see the crimson glint of it's armor and the golden horns from the figure's helmet*
Fred
*Oh? People came? What a strange surprise. She thought for a moment that she'd be alone... She made a few assumptions to herself... A bunch of people who look rather suspicious with... Weapons. 

Maybe they're... Supposed to be here? She's not sure... But she acts casual. Well as casual as a person leaning on a tree, wearing a cloak and hiding her face with the sallet. She studies the new comers from afar*
Linda
"So you two are here for the job as well"
Fred
*Hmmm it talked! She gave the... Thing a Nod. Yes she was here for the job. Wonder who these... People were honestly. 

Just in case this was missed, she was wearing her Black cloak, which was held together by a strange Family Crest Brooch. She wore a Full Coverage Sallet, which covered her whole face. She carried a halberd, but it is otherwise unknown as to what is under her cloak. Though it's just her gambeson, cuirass, sword, rondel, and targe. Oh and of course the clothes she wears...*

"Yes I'm here for the job. Are you?"

*She asked, staring directly at the person. She wanted to see... Just who was here and if she could... Use them for her benifit. That would be nice. Maybe some friends for protection? Or maybe... A defensive pact!
Linda
"I am here for the job. This is my 4th time, I think"
Fred
"... Fourth? How many cheaters are there from this person?"

*She was quite surprised... 4th time eh? How many times does this person need to kill some loose ends? If this is such a problem... They should have better systems in place to prevent such an occurrence*
Linda
"You'd be surprised how many greedy nobles try to steal from him"
Fred
"Oh well. I wouldn't know the pains. Anyone who attempts a theft ends up... Well you see, missing. So... Who are we removing this time?" 

*She asked, releasing herself from a tree, leaning on a halberd. Compared to the Oni, she was tiny. He was at least a whole Quarter-Ein taller!*
Linda
"Don't know this time"
Fred
"Hmmmmmmm. I see how it is. Rather hard to do a job when you don't know who to kill eh?"
Linda
"We'll see soon enough
Jeffrey
*A few minutes would pass as you two waited for whoever sent this letter. Ordinary sounds like the river flowing and the wind blowing would start to sound ominous as you continued to wait. Eins would be unaware of the employer's habits, so it wouldn't be a stretch for her to think this was some prank given how outrageous the payment was. These letters might be bait to trick gullible people into desolate locations to be jumped. Infact, this demon looking fellow might be the hired assailant. Oshikuru, however, as this was his 4th time doing this, would know that the messenger only arrives at the expected time on the dot.*

*A couple more minutes pass by till the time is exactly noon. Looking around, Eins still wouldn't see anybody. Her fear might start to escalate at this point out of paranoia. Oshikuru, however, would know better and would likely look around for an animal. He would then notice a black squirrel looking down on you all from a nearby tree with familiar intelligence in its eyes. The squirrel would climb down and approach Eins and much to her surprise she would see it slowly transforming into a larger humanoid figure. As it reached the ground you would see a tall robed figure with its face completely covered up with its hood.*

"I'm pleased to see the two of you have made it. I apologize to you Miss Eins that the boss cannot meet you in person, but hope that is understandable given this line of work, something Sir Oshikuru should be well acquainted with at this point. I'll get straight to business. There is a nearby village that had purchased a massive supply of medical herbs so that they may cure any illnesses they may encounter in this weather. It would not be a huge surprise that such herbs would be very expensive as they are in high demand, but the village elder had pleaded and promised to pay for it within a month. A month passed, and they responded they will pay next month. It's been more than 2 months at this point and no payment has been received. When approached for the payment the village had seemingly hired mercenaries to keep us away. Needless to say, the boss was not pleased. That is why the boss took action and hired workers such as yourselves to clear out some of those mercenaries they relied on and captured the elder's son. We hoped they would get the message that they weren't safe from the boss' grasps and that it would be in their best interest to simply pay for what they've taken. Instead it seems the elder and the son's wife have caused a ruckus to hire even more mercenaries to protect themselves and hunt us down. Truly foolish, but nothing less than expected considering they even decided to go against the boss. Nevertheless, it seems we have to take more drastic measures to get our message across, and that's where you two come into play"

*The robed figure would then pull out four pieces of parchment each and hand them over to Oshikuru and Eins. One would have a portrait of an elder macen man, another of a young blonde macen woman, and another a small female macen child, and the last piece of parchment looked like the map of a village with 4 particular locations marked in red and building circled in green and another building circled in blue.* 

"The portrait of the elderly man is the village elder. He resides in the building circled in green. The woman is the son's wife, she resides in the building circled in blue. The child is the woman's daughter. She also resides in the same building. The buildings have mercenaries guarding it and the locations circled in red are the mercenaries guarding the 4 gates into the village. Besides the child, everyone else you can decide to kill or capture. The child must be brought alive. Any questions thus far?"
Linda
"No questions besides possible gear"
Fred
"No no, seems pretty normal to me. Don't see any issues with that. Just... What kind of mercs are we talking about? The kinds that don't have much armour or... The kinds that look like Metal trees?"

*This was a pretty big shocker... A squirrel man. This is definitely a SQUIRREL MAN*
Jeffrey
"The armor and skills of the mercenaries are varied. Some are warriors, other mages, and there are even some archers. The amount of wealth they posses also varies, and thus so does the amount and quality of their armor. As such, I can't provide much information besides what you will see for yourself. I also feel it might be necessary to mention to not loot the bodies, as the boss will be taking them as compensation for the wealth he has already lost in dealing with these fools. I hope that is understandable"
Linda
"Understandable. Let's go"
Fred
"I see. Understandable. Gó féy!"

*And off she goes... To go.. Approach the place, of course stopping at least... 3 steps from where she originally was to wait for her companion. You might ask what Gó Féy means. Well... It's literally just 'Let's remove'*
Pablo
*He had no idea what the woman just said. It did seem to be a happy tone though*
Fred
"Leeeets go do this job!"

*And off she goes... To the village, weapon out, armour on, and cloak... Off. The cloak will impede her ability to fight. No point fighting with a giant blanket on. She seemed pretty well off!*
Pablo
*Oshikuru takes off his cloak as well. The weapon is revealed to be a blood red katana, and he is wearing red samurai armor as well*
Jeffrey
*As you two walked toward the village, you would notice the various corpses and bones to the side of the road. It looks like there has been plenty of bloodshed in this area. It would seem the employer had sent a great deal of men to take care of this village. One could hope the two of you don't join them.* 
*Nearing closer to the South gate, you would see a couple of armored individuals standing guard. It might be safe to assume that they were the mercenaries as the robed man mentioned they were guarding the entrances. The village likely assumed that so long as the mercenaries blocked the entrances no one else would be able to enter. As you got closer you would realize that it was a safe assumption as the village had a 15 ft tall wooden wall encompassing the borders, a height most individuals could not easily scale without being noticed.*
*It would seem the mercenaries hasn't taken notice to your arrival yet as it continued to scan the premise by shifting its head side to side. One of them was holding a shield and spear with chain mail as his armor while the other was a female wearing almain rivet armor with a steel greatsword resting over her shoulder*
Fred
*Hmmm a predicament indeed! She scouted around for a way to... Get around said mercs. Wonder how one would do that? She doesn't exactly have rope and a wall is simply too difficult to scale without any tools. A fool's choice would be to attack them head on... Unless... Oni man helped! But how would they manage to fight them? Chainmail is rather simple to fight... But the Almain rivet on the other hand... 

What an interesting situation*

"Wall... Guards... Seems pretty protected. Even just two people"
Pablo
*Hmmm. Chain mail would be easy to counter, but the Almann rivet would be slightly more difficult*
Linda
"Which one do you want? The male or female?"
Pablo
*He honestly could take on either one, but he wasn't sure which one she would be best going against*
Fred
"I'll take Almain. I'm better equipped for... Whatever that strange set of armour is..." 

*She finna poke the hell out of her. And does Almain rivet include the helmet? Or no... I'm not sure. Either way, I have a plan*
Linda
"So I'll take the spear and shield guy. Gotcha." *He drew his katana, and it morphed into a large Guandao.* "Let's do this. Fast and hard"
Pablo
*He would start to walk towards the two guards*
Fred
*Ein prepared her stance with her Halberd. Quick and fast. Let's hope this Great Sword person wasn't super fast... Or has magic... Or can swing at the speed of light. 

She approached the guard she intends on fighting, maintaining her composure as she approaches. She was significantly less armoured than this opponent... She needs distance yes?*
Jeffrey
*As you two would approach the two guards would take notice of you two and take a defensive stance. The chainmail merc would have his shield raised and his spear at the ready rather quickly while the female lifted the greatsword from her shoulder and held it infront of her with one arm with relative ease. The male would speak in a gruff voice*
"Halt! Entry isn't permitted till after a thorough inspection due to various attacks on the village as of late! If you wish to enter, drop all your possessions onto the ground and step 10 steps away!"
Linda
"Do not worry my friends! We are only here for business, and to ask a few questions!"
Fred
"Ye, we're just 'ere to ask some questions. Yous not in annay trubble, dinnae worry at all"

*Woah what was just that. Did she have a stroke? It can't be... Is she... Faking an accent to protect her identity? Well yes and no. She also just wants to mock them. It ought to be an embarrassment when you die to someone who speaks like a half drunk farmer who drank too much Hay Bale juice*
Jeffrey
*The male would eye the two of you and take a few steps back. The female doesn't seem to be particular worried and is actually grinning.* 
"Came to ask some questions wielding weapons like that?" *She would ask mockingly*
*The male would point to the ground with his spear* 
"Drop your weapons on the ground and take 10 steps back. We can hear your questions from that distance"
Pablo
*Oshikuru would quickly sweep his polearm across the ground, aiming for the spearman's calf. If the man is sweeped, he spins around, raises his Guandao, and slams it onto the guy's head. If the man somehow jumps, he kicks the man's kite shield. If he tanks the attack but doesn't fall, Oshikuru grabs his spear and punches him in the face. If he blocks the attack using the shield, he does the same as the previous scenario*
Fred
*Now that her ally attacked, she took back to maintain the range from her opponent. Turns out, such person was strong, pointing a great sword at her with such ease. But no biggy... All she has to do is get passed the woman's defense. 

And so she did make an attempt to attack. Assuming such person was a human with human reflexes, she feigned an attack from her comfortable range, which would only really pose a danger if the person was almost a meter closer... Flinch and she'll know what to do, don't flinch and she won't...*
Jeffrey
*As Oshikuru would attempt sweep his polearm at the male merc, as the merc had already taken a few steps back prior, he would be able to step out of range of Oshikuru's swing with impressive speed. He would look slightly surprised, but his face would become serious as he quickly backtracked with his shield facing Oshikuru still, allowing him to block the punch to his face. It would cause the man to slightly lose his balance, but it seemed he had a solid grasp on footwork coordination, allowing him to quickly readjust his center of gravity and continue to retreat back. It seemed the man was heading inside the village walls, and now that Oshikuru was closer he could see that the man was heading toward a nearby wooden stand with a large bell ontop*

*The female would simply smirk as Eins carried out her feint, only slightly adjusting her grip and height of the greatsword in preparation for an actual attack from Eins from that position. The greatsword would seem to glow slightly with various runes on it giving off a magical aura*
"What happened to the questions you wanted to ask?" She would say with a grin and laugh
Pablo
*Oshikuru notices the man walking closer to the bell*
Linda
"Are you a coward? Stand and fight! As for the question..." *Oshikuru grins behind his mask* "The question is violence. And the answer is yes."
Pablo
*He would then spin around, gaining momentum, then jump and slam his polearm to the man's head, hoping his glaive will reach above the shield*
Fred
"Well... As many of us Farmers would ask... May I ask yous a question? But seems tis is not tae best time aye?" 

*Seeing that her feint didn't work, she held her position, slightly circling around her opponent, being sure she doesn't get near the other person. Greatsword vs Halberd GO! Well this is going to be a hard one because... Closing distance with any of them would be extremely dangerous, especially how both of them could easily hold both of their weapons with one hand... Who makes the first move*
Jeffrey
*Unfortunately for Oshikuru, the merc would lower his center of gravity seeing him spin around by bending his knees, making it easier for the merc to raise his shield to deflect the blow away from his head, knowing better than trying to block a heavy hit head on. However, this would force the man to stay still as his feet dug into the earth to prevent his body from losings its balance from the strike.*
"If doing my job is considered being a coward, that's fine. I'm being paid to protect the people, not eliminate intruders. There are other mercs here who are better equipped for that."

*The female would follow Eins movements still grinning* "A farmer eh? You seem too skilled at combat to be considered a farmer, not that it really matters. Take your time, the longer you stall, the more likely the patrols will come around"
Linda
"I see you are a fool. A brave fool, so respectable, but a fool nonetheless"
Pablo
*He launches a series of spinning attacks, quickly alternating between striking at the head, calves and midsection, advancing all the way*
Fred
"I'm flattered, but a simple farmer can also be a fearsome warrior. All those hours fightinf a hay bale pay off"

*And like that, Since the lady had adjusted herself, she'd change her positioning, pulling in a Hook Swipe to the Woman's right. Maybe that'll catch her off guard. Plus, I might be assuming things. The woman is probably right handed... I think so...

TL;DR - Halbred Swipe with the Hook on the Woman's sword side go attempt lock or pull her off balance*
Jeffrey
*The man seeing Oshikuru needlessly spin for each attack to build momentum, would simply close the distance taking advantage of the fact that polearms aren't that great at close range, using his shield to parry the shaft of the Guandao while thrusting his spear aiming for the eye slits in Oshikuru's armor*
"A fool I may be, but at least I know better than to turn my back on my enemy"

*As Eins expected, the female would attempt to parry her halberd swing, allowing it get locked and pulled, but as Eins pulls the woman simply lets go of her greatsword. However, the women doesn't look worried at all instead closes the distance between the two while raising her arms over her head in a weird fashion, almost as if she was holding something despite there being nothing. A split second later though, the greatsword that Eins pulled away from the female would glow and disappear from the ground, reappearing in the female's hands as she brings it down aiming for Eins shoulder*
"Maybe you should've spent more time reading magic books instead of fighting hay bales you bumpkin! Heh!"
Pablo
*Oshikuru simply dodges to the right, lets go of his glaive and grabs the spear in his left hand. He then smashes his elbow into the spear's shaft, attempting to break it*
Fred
*Well you see, by letting the sword pull in, she moved herself again to do a harsh spike stab to the face. How you may ask? Well, with the design of her halberd, by letting go of the sword, she'd have enough room to do a thrust to the face... This wasn't helped by the closing in distance since that only really added to the issue of... Spike in face.

Tl;Dr - By letting go of the sword, she used the momentum gained from her letting go of the sword to pull the halberd back for a short distancr and stabs with it to the open face...*.
Jeffrey
*Seeing you drop your weapon, the merc who was confident with his footwork would quickly kick it away from you while letting go of his spear once he saw you attempting to break the shaft. His job wasn't to defeat you, and now that your weapon was a distance away and that Oshikuru was focused on snapping the spear, the merc would rash over to the bell and would now only be 5ft away from it, being able to ring it next turn if he wasn't stopped*

*The female rushing forward would notice Eins aiming to thrust at her face, but a thrust is harder to aim, espically at a small target like a head, and would thus twist her head sideways at the last second avoiding the strike. However, this would disperse some of her momentum with her greatsword swing. The strike though would still carry tremendous foce behind as the runes glow upon impact. At this point it would be safe to assume the greatsword was a magical weapon, and with its enchantments it tears through Eins armor and digs into her shoulder*
"Woah! Almost got me there!" The female would explain in genuine surprise
Pablo
*Oshikuru runs at full speed after breaking the spear after the man. He then performs a 360 roundhouse kick to the man's head*
Fred
*Youch Youch! Thank you gambeson for taking some of the blow, but of course, the sword had to cut through the gambeson and hit her arm with considerable force. Thanks had she been closer, she'd be done for.

She took a very fast pivot back drawing her secondaries, being her sword, targe, and Rondel. Of course she was in pain, but tis was simply a flesh wound. It really wasn't I won't be surprised if she was unable to use her other arm.

"Tis was simply a flæsc wound good lady. Though... Flæsc wounds don't generally hurt like a maul to the arm and holds like a sword to the arm. Gó féy mó síd"

*Oh look! A weird sentence. Oh well, this time she was more careful. She can't... Really use her arm the best. Her bad arm was her shield arm, which also held her rondel, and her good arm was her sword*
Jeffrey
*Oshi running at full speed after them man find that this kick wouldn't carry as much momentum as the man was running about as fast as Oshi was able to. However, the blow would still throw the man off balance as he made a desperate sprint for the bell, causing him to fall over. The merc would desperately get up and reach for the bell*

*As you pulled out your secondaries the female would stepback, taking advantage of the fact that her weapon now has the longer reach. She would then put swing at your good arm, hoping to take advantage of the fact that her weapon was of superior quality and could carry greater force to knock the sword out of Eins hands*

"You speak funny. If we met on different circumstances, I think we might of had a good time at a tavern"
Pablo
*Oshikuru would sweep the merc's feet, then launch a series of rapid punches to the man's head. Hopefully this will disorient him enough so he can't ring the bell.*
Fred
"Tis is a shame we couldn't meet in better circumstances... Next life my friend next life, maybe we'll be friends and protect a humble village as you are against me!"

*She didn't make an attempt to block the attack, instead doing a back pivot whilst ducking down. Though, a redirect would be better, but she wasn't taking any chances. 

After the sword swung over, assuming the person couldn't stop a heavy ass sword and swing it back, she went in closer to grapple maybe stab with her basket hilt. Of course she used Rule 1 of Ein's fighting technique. Always attack with both weapons. 


Tl:Dr - She didn't attempt to block the sword, instead, basically jumping back away from the sword and ducking. Once the sword was over head, she went in to attack, closing the distance with her speed.

Her left was covered by the shield, which was level to the Woman's Great sword while Ein's broadsword as doing an upwards thrust to the head, making an attempt to strike and grapple.*
Jeffrey
*Oshikuru's flurry of blows would assault the poor man and he would take a few steps back clearly disoriented. However, there was something to be noted. The time they left from the job was noon, meaning at the latest the time frame the group was still in was the afternoon. Within the city walls where the bell was nearby villagers would see Oshi pummel the merc and scream in terror and panic. The villagers would run around screaming* "Assassins! The Assassins have returned!"

*As for Ein's fight with the female, Eins would be right to assume for a normal person stopping a heavy sword swing and bringing it back would be too slow, but it seemed she had forgotten the female's ability. Upon seeing Eins' duck under the swing she would merely let go of her sword and let it fly from her arms carrying the excess momentum with it while quickly stepping back while shifting her hands. She would then swing her hands in a similar fashion as before at Ein's broadsword as the greatsword reappeared in her hands. The swing would not only deflect Ein's strike from the female's head but Eins' would also see that her sword was bent and dented from where the greatsword struck.*

"Next life indeed my friend. Just make note that it's yours that would be going first!"
Fred
"Or is it? A challenge indeed, but you see... A... I have upper hand"

*She discarded her sword, switching to the rondel. Now that she was really close and... It would be nigh impossible to get a good strike, Ein tackled the woman, making an attempt to throw her to the ground and stab her with the rondel. The rondel was a rather long knife. A very long one at the fact too! Also it was pointy. 

Tl:Dr - Due to her already close enough proximity, she just went in, trying to throw the woman to the ground and attempts to stab and grapple her... With the rondel.*
Pablo
*Oshikuru swiftly grabs his fallen Guandao. He begins to run swiftly and quietly towards the other mercenary*
Jeffrey
*As Eins charges the female, seeing that she would not be able to escape in time, she mutters an incantation under her breath as he skins becomes as hard as platemail. Upon tacking her Eins would find the female unmoved being that she was as strong if not stronger than Eins. Attempting to stab her with the pointy dagger wouldn't prove very effective given her now reinforced body. She would be caught in the grapple though, but she would just smirk.*

"If you wanted a hug, why didn't you say so?"

*The female would then in return grapple focusing around Eins neck, and at this point and at this points Eins would be able to confirm that the female was stronger than her as she was slowly being choked out. The female would see Oshi running over and grin*

"If you leave the village, I'll let your friend go. If not, well, after I'm done with her I'll have fun playing with you"
Fred
*A rondel was not a point sword, but a dagger! She was choking her through the sallet... What an uncomfortable situation. How will she get herself out of this? Well... How you'd attempt to get out of this... She tried shoving her thumbs into the womans eyes... Even if the skin was steel, the eyes should be just as sensitive, if not worse because the eyes cant flex.

Ein wasn't strong at all, but hopefully her attack would give her Oni friend enough time to strike and pull off the Woman...*
Pablo
*Oshikuru reacts to Eín digging her fingers into the mercenary's eyes. He raises his glaive and slams it down on the woman's head*
Jeffrey
*As Eins attempts to poke the females eyes, she would counter by merely squinting, allowing her to still maintain visual on her surroundings while preventing Eins from injuring it as even her eyelids were reinforced with the equivalent of plate male hardness and thickness. The poke would be akin to pressing against a steel helmet, which wouldn't be very effective. Granted her visual was still limited due to having fingers blocking it, it wouldn't be hard to assume where Oshikuru was aiming as he raised his glaive over his head. As the female had basically full control over Ein's head, she would shift Ein's poor head to intercept the swing, causing Eins to receive a hefty blow. The female would chuckle*

"Oh dear, I would think even an idiot could see that I have the upper-hand here with a hostage. But I guess this means you two aren't friends"
Linda
"Well then. I guess this fight is prolonged further. Sorry partner. Rest up, and I'll heal you later."
Pablo
*Oshikuru takes a stance, ready for any attack from the woman*
Fred
*Ein was definitely out of the fight, having been struck by such a heavy weapon. The helmet was dented, not exactly cutting though, knocking her clean out. She was definitely going to need to be evacuated... But not, wonder what Oshikuru would do

Inside the helmet, it wasn't a good situation. Having been hit so hard, it wouldn't be surprising if she had a fracture, concussion, or even both. How is she ever going to recover? Does any of her friends have healing magic? Doubt they do. 

But anyways, the point is, she was definitely not getting up any time soon from all the injuries she faced... Specifically the part where her skull could have been crushed had her helmet not been there... Sigh :c more money spent on getting new equipment... Her sallet is probably not saveable*
Jeffrey
*Seeing Eins body go limp and unconcious the woman would drop her to the ground. She would then look over to Oshi and re-summon her greatsword into her hand.*

"How about I make you a deal. You pay me 10 gold, I take 10 gold from the young lady's pouch, and I will let you two retreat. Doesn't sound like a bad deal in my opinion, that is if you two can afford it"
Linda
"I see a problem with that. Seems fair, but I came here to gain some"
Pablo
*He then runs into the village searching for his targets*
Jeffrey
*As Oshi runs into the village searching for this targets he would find the entire village in chaos, fleeing from him while the more braver men would be grabbing nearby rocks and throwing it at him. Looking at the map he would find that the woman's house was near the north gate while the old man's house was to the east gate. Right now Oshi was near the south gate. Looking up from the map he would see two mercs running in his direction coming from the west. It would look like Oshi has to plow through many bodies if he wishes to reach his targets*
Pablo
*Oshikuru runs towards the north gate, slicing the throats of anyone he passes. He looks around, seeing what the 2 mercs will do*
Jeffrey
*With Oshi's speed he would leave the 2 mercs chasing him in the dust. Most people would leap out of the way once they saw you running toward them, but for the few poor souls that don't, they would meet their untimely end. They would collapse to the ground desperately clutching their throats as they bleed to death, leaving huge pools of blood in their wake.*
*You would reach the northern part of the city you would find the hose that was marked. Infront of it would be two individuals wearing robes. They would notice you coming through and clearly identify you as a threat. One would summon a barrier around the two of them while the other shoots a ball of lightning at him, travelling at 100 ft/s*
Pablo
*As soon as he sees the ball lightning being cast at him, he decides to try and slide under it if it is aimed high at his head. If it is aimed at his chest, he tries to block it using the shaft of his glaive*
Jeffrey
*The electricity would strike your glaive and it electricity would course through it, causing slight burn marks on the wooden shaft that was incontact with the metal. However, the mages only continue to fire more electric bolts at him as they felt a bit more secure with the barrier set up. This time 2 electric bolts would fly at him, one aiming for his legs and the other for his chest*
Pablo
*Oshikuru would quickly turn to the side in order to dodge the bolts. He would flip them off*
Linda
"F*Ck you guys!! Cowards hiding behind a barrier!!"
Pablo
*He then rushes them taking a low stance*
Jeffrey
*Rushing forward, he would find that he wouldn't really be able to get any closer without first breaking their barrier, but as you draw close both their bodies would cackle with red lightning as red orbs appear, one flying to the right of you at chest left while the other to the left at chest level while another pair of orbs float to the air 100 ft from the ground*

"You assassins are the true cowards! Killing innocent people is far worse!"
Pablo
*As soon as he sees the two bodies crackle with red lightning, he knows that means trouble. He CANNOT get hit by this at all costs. He quickly ducks down and tries to slide under the spheres, his head only a foot from the ground*
Linda
"Hey! I kill indiscriminately, innocent or guilty!"
Jeffrey
*As you attempt to duck and slide the spheres, they would unfortunately be too fast to reach the ground fast enough at this distance, and since the balls are attracted to metallic armor, they would curve and stick to his left and right shoulder respectively. He would see the mages grin, fulling knowing what was about to happen next*
Pablo
*2 bolts of lightning crack the sky and strike him in each shoulder, incapacitating him. Well fuck. He lies there on the ground, knowing that he won't be able to move for quite a bit, groaning in pain*
Jeffrey
*Oshi's body would be in agonizing pain as all his limbs were paralyzed and the nerve endings on his body felt like they were on fire as electricity continued to course through his body. But the mages weren't finished. They continue to shoot electric balls at Oshi, striking the center of his back, paralyzing both his legs, but his arms would be able to start moving again. However the bolts continued to burn his flesh and cause flashes of white to appear in his eyesight*

*He would however notice the barrier wear off and disappear, but the mages don't seem as concerned seeing Oshi was now on the ground*
Linda
"Fucking Assholes!"
Pablo
*He uses healing touch on his arms*

```15 mana spent, 15/30 remaining```
Jeffrey
*The mages blast again, surprised that you were still conscious. As Oshi was still on the ground this his legs paralyzed they aim for his upper back in hopes of getting his arms out of commision*
