"Nyo i dyont think that this caravan is either a merchyant, or picking us up, i nyean we are in the middle of nyowhere, so nyo merchyant would ever use this route i guess. And i dyont think it is a guild caravan coming to pick us up, because they dyont even knyow we were coming, and also i dyont think they would just pick us up if they'd knyew we were coming, becuase that wouldn't really nyake sense to me. Sooo yeah, i think we should be carefull with this caravan, it also could be a trap."

*50 Meters. The caravan was getting closer and closer, the ambient sounds of the area becoming increasingly drowned put by the growing sound of the wheels rolling upon the path. Hynes and Luminya would both be able to see who was controlling the horses; a fat, wealthy looking merchant with lots of ornate jewelry adorned on his person. However, that was also a bit out of place; usually merchants as rich as that had someone else do the driving for them, like a chauffeur. This one didn't.*

*40 Meters. Somehow, it seemed that the caravan started to accelerate even further when you two went in sight of the driver.* 

*30 Meters. The wagon seemed to drift a little bit towards your lane on the road, the horses entering a gallop faster than the instance before. It was worrying how close it was getting towards your side of the path, however. If you were to be trampled on by the horses, you would be severely crippled and wounded, if not dead.*

*20 Meters. It showed no sign of stopping.*

Having glanced back over to Luminya's response Hynes felt displeasure by the amount of discomfort and caution she had suggested whilst the carriage was still outside of their direct view. Perhaps she was indeed in the right in being cautious around an odd caravan but surely there was nothing giving off an aura which suggested that this particular carriage was any more dangerous than if they were to see another down by the road. Still, it wouldn't hurt to at least gain her trust and confidence in the situation, being a mere inconvenience, nothing more than to otherwise draw her spear. With the carriage having approached significantly closer towards themselves Hynes would call reach out for her tremendously long 2.4 meter spear. It could be classified as a lance at this point. Raising her arms up she slid it from her back, bringing it over her as she thrusted it towards her front. Turning over to Luminya Hynes would remark out to her.

If you're so worried then before we get any closer I suggest you dissapear into a tree. There's plenty of bushes and ditches for you to hide either side of us so if anything gets hairy at least you will have the jump on them. However I assure you that I will probably be able to handle anything that can come out of a random carriage anyways. Just sit tight and watch me perform.

Perking her head up she focused her vision once more on the carriage. With the ground shaking and the rocks grumbling beneath her feet she could tell that it was in a rush. Having closed the distance further she would be able to make out the driver. She was sort of disappointing when she saw a fat merchant, expecting something else. However this soon turned into excitement as she knew that this only made her pay off ten times better. If it was a regular farmer then she would've just had him killed, but if he held this guy for ransom then she was sure to get into contact with someone who would be willing to pay more than ten times what she would've else earned.

Having collected her thoughts she glanced up once more, squinting in her helmet as she saw no sign of the carriage deviating it's path. In fact quite the opposite, the horses only throttled harder and faster, leaning in towards her direction. At least the merchant isn't a complete idiot, but sadly for him this only made maneuvering that much harder, and his path that much easier to predict.

A glistening liquid poured out of Hyne's helmet. Perhaps it was sweat from the intensive heat, but it was clear that she was casting an arcane spell. An immense ball of 500ml of gasoline was being built up inside her. Pointed straight at the carriage she then prepared to engulf it with a flaming spell as she poured in her mana to conjure up the liquid.
Tammy
"Mew dyont have to tell me what i shyould do, but nyeah this was also a idea i had, so i'll do it i guess"

*Not waiting for a response she Jumped off the road and dived into a bush and quickly ran a few meteres away, and started climbing a tree with no problems. As she reached the crown of the tree, she saw Hynes casting a spell, so she decided to jump to the tree that was the nearest to hynes, and hid herself in the crown, being almost invisible for a normal human eye.*
Johnnie
*The speed of which the caravan was closing was becoming increasingly worrying as Luminya disappeared into a nearby bush by the road. At this point, Hynes would be able to clearly make out the shining steel of a weapon held against the driver's neck; it was obvious that they were being forced to do this against their own will, being held as a hostage for whatever was inside. Ten meters, and the horses would be completely directed towards Hynes, threatening to trample her over if she didn't get out of the way in time. At this distance, a fireblast would surely do damage to the horses, possible even killing them; however, it would also do damage to the driver, who was also at the forefront of the assault.*
Eleanor
Hynes had caught a glimpse of the blade too late. In the split moment she evaluated what she could, taking into account the possibility of a hostage situation. However it was already too late to pull off any other moves. By the time she had begun casting her spell she had already committed herself to unleashing a furious fire cast. She had no choice, either continue with the spell and risk killing everyone, or try to cancel and risk being trampled over by two potential 1000 kg horses, and a carriage. With her heart racing furiously she could only yell out and hope that she didn't hit anyone who didn't deserve it.

'Oi! Old man, get out of the way!.'

A searing hot tongue enveloped Hynes as her gasoline was spat out forward, immediately followed by a blazing trail of a scorching inferno. The gasoline kept propelling itself forward at a speed of 5m/s. Hopefully she didn't hesitate too late as the heated blaze spat out for 7 meters in front of her. She was completely blinded as the fire blew out from her face like a dragon blowing fire. Perhaps she had only killed the horses at best, or maybe she had wiped out everything in front of her. She took this brief opportunity to recollect her thoughts and come up with a basic strategy as to how to handle what would come next.

*Luminya kinda shocked by the strength of the spell that Hynes casted, just stared at the fire for a few seconds, before jumping down the tree and started sneaking to the back of the fire, hoping she would see any remains of the caravan, or survivors. The fire dazzled her to much, meaning she couldnt see much, but she still continued sneaking, until she finally reached the back of the fire.*
Johnnie
*As Hynes billowed out the fire from her mouth, both of the horses in front would completely be engulfed in an intense flame. A second passed as their very skin and hair began to sizzle and boil like meat on a pan, the flames of the fire singing their flesh until it became scorched and blackened completely. However, the horses would have momentarily continued sprinting forwards for a mere instant, falling towards the ground shortly after their coats began to catch fire. However, due to Hynes not moving out of the way, and also because of the momentum the horses had when they fell, she would be caught directly in their path as they fell towards the floor. She was lucky, however. The horses' movements in their final moments weren't nearly as straightfoward as they were before, resulting in only the left front of the horse to make contact with Hynes as it went down. Had it been truly head on, she would've been trampled underhoof entirely, though Hynes would have made it out with only a moderate wound to her right shoulder. She had also been knocked down in the process, however.*

*As for the man leading the horses, he would also have been a victim of the fire. At the last second, the hand holding the weapon at his neck would have disappeared into the wagon as the Hell Purge washed over the entire front of the wagon. The cart would have went down with the horses as well; it would be knocked over, causing it to keel onto it's side. The two of you, however, would be able to notice two figures emerging from behind the wreckage - it would seem that they had jumped off at the last second before the fire hit. They kept their distance, since the fire was too dangerous to venture into, though Luminya would be able to catch a glimpse of a bow in one of the figure's hands. Although it couldn't clearly see where Hynes was at the moment, it nocked an arrow, prepared to fire at first notice.*

Low quality would probs be really quick
Tammy
*She saw two figures leaving the wagon in a haste, she thougth that they might be civilians, so she decided to go over to them, but she still was carefull, and sneaked her way to them. About half way through she netered her lesser form, and turned into a cat.* *She crawled out of her clothes and took her dagger with her, holding it in her mouth.* *As she picked up her dagger, she saw one of them drawing a bow. She didnt know what they wanted to shoot at, but she assumed it was hynes, so she approached them like a normal cat triying to get close enough to at least make them unable to fight. After a short while, she was very close to one of the figures, and was hiding in a bush behind them.*
Eleanor
With the hellfire raging with a furious culling Hynes could feel the heat as the sweat pressed against her cheeks and dripped down onto her neck. Even from behind the temperature had drastically increased to the point that she immediately wanted to take her helmet off. Hearing the galloping and trampling of the horses they were cut off by the sudden screams and neighs as the steads were engulfed in her flames. In an instant their flesh was searing hot and peeling off like flakes of rotten skin. The smell of burning dust and charcoal filled in her lungs when she inhaled briefly, but coming out of the ashes to her surprise were the half turned corpses of the horses, moving under the momentum of their original force. Despite being dead their bodies still possessed an immense obstacle for her, and one which she had failed to fully consider. In a flash her head was stricken up as she was hit by one of the horses, grazing past her before it collapsed suddenly. Having been thrown back Hynes didn't expect the horses to charge through. Though being narrowly saved off from any severe injuries she still remained sat on the floor as her armor came down clashing, adding further discomfort. Perking her head up she saw as the fires began to sizzle away, a burnt out hulk of the two horses and a seared wagon was all that was visible to her. Rolling over to the side Hynes took cover in front of the carriage in case the previous person she had spotted had survived. She couldn't be sure whether or not anyone else other than the horses had survived. However she did take note of a

Disfigured figure and what appeared to be some clothes. She didn't have time to analyze anything else however as she knew that she had to be quick to get up before anything else jumped her. Thrusting herself onto her knee she pushed her boot down to get up, bolting off her right arm briefly as she could tell it was slightly sprained from the initial impact with the horse. Shifting to the right she saw her spear struck on the ground, embedded standing on a rock, luckily not hitting her on the way down. Quickly reaching for it she grasped it tightly with both hands before retrieving the spear, kneeling back down in cover so that she could see whether or not anything had survived first.

Turning her head back to Luminya Hynes could clearly see her reverting her form into a cat. She was originally just going to yell towards her but it was a clear indication that there was something wrong. As the cat transformed Hynes noted two things, she could transform on demand and with her came a short dagger. Having been in front of the carriages Hynes was out of view of anyone behind it, but could also just as equally not see anyone herself. Deciding that in any scenario she would need to get up close, Hynes decided to summon her tower shield, in the event that any of them had a ranged projectile weapon. Raising her left hand to the left she concentrated mana toward the spell, all the whilst particles would slowly resumate and take form in the shape of a ginormous scutum shield.

*The person with the bow, of which Luminya would be able to identify as a wood elf, had stopped aiming at Hynes the moment she had summoned her tower shield. Her features were hidden under a hood and a mask, revealing nothing but two azure eyes. She turned towards her partner, someone wearing a set of Almain Rivet armor. Like Hynes, he also wielded a shield, though this particular variant was of the kite line. His other hand, the right one, wielded a mace. Normally, one would have a bit of difficulty wielding such a weapon due to how unbalanced it was, but this individual would seem to be able to use it quite easily; as the archer lowered her bow, the armored individual sort of flicked it about using his wrist, finally letting it drop to the floor as it leaned in towards the elf. Luminya would be able to overhear their short conversation due to how close she was to the pair.*

"Weren't there two of them? What happened to the other one?" *Said a gruff, male voice.*

"Save it. They probably ran off somewhere. It's not like they had anything valuable from the looks of it, anyway." *Said the archer, a feminine soprano escaping her lips.*

"Fine, whatever. Let's just hope this guy has some good stuff on them."

*With that, they would both begin to walk at a steady pace towards Hynes. The armoured one kept his shield up, mace ready to strike, while the archer did away with her weapon. Oddly enough, she didn't bring anything else out, either.*
Eleanor
Having knelt down on one knee for the summon Hynes would've completed conjuration stage by now, clenching her fist as her entire left arm was strapped inside the ginormous shield. It sprouted to a height of 1.5 meters tall, whilst encasing her entire left side almost being equally 1 meter in width, cutting short 30 centimetres. The shield itself was mostly made of hard layered wood which was reinforced by leather and canvas, however the entire frame revolved around a layer of reflective sheet metal. Transferring her own spear to her right hand she took on an under grip position, as to support it's weight. Overhearing the bandits coming closer she would be able to discern their race, judging from their accents, and sadly for them it seemed as if there was only two people coming her direction. Pressing against her knee she stood up, using the support of her spear and faced the two.

From amidst the burnt out corpses and rotting charcoal carcasses of both the horses and the ashed merchant stood out a tall figure. Hailing ravenous black plate armor the light glared off, casting her reflections and she gleamed like she was a mirror bouncing off the sun. The bandits saw a pure juggernaut infront of them, having no discernible features regarding her gender, race or face. She appeared as a lifeless but menacing ebony knight. In her right grip thrusted a ginormous spear, to them it seemed as if it had sprouted all the way to 8 feet. How could one even wield such an enormous weapon. And just to add to all of it was a hulking impenetrable tower shield, stemming from the ground and being nearly even just as tall as she was. In a swift motion she banged it down and brought it towards her chest, covering her entire front. Coming several paces towards them as her armor clanged against itself her spear was pointed down straight towards them, like she herself was a formation of a 100 phalanx soldiers. From her helmet came out a strangle liquid, but it was building up into a ball.
