*The assassins didn't see him, so this was a great opportunity. He didn't want to kill them though. Incapacitating and temporarily crippling them would be good enough.*

*His left (mace) hand shoves Assassin 3 into the icy waters behind him, and the still flaming mace would be smashed against Assassin 2's shoulder. This would not only render the arm useless, but set his clothes alight.*
Darrell
After the assassin attack charges her to give him more space, the panther would threaten him with a roar and a paw trying to hit him in the legs. Soon after that, Mai would try not to get too close because of the advantage of having a sword. Although she didn't care much in the old days, after all it worked out. But it was better not to take any chances, perhaps.

```
Helion
```
Assassin 3 was shoved into the cold icy water, taking a while to recover. The other assassin turned around as he heard a scream, only for the mace to land squarely in his face. His nose would be caved in, and he dropped onto the ground, unconscious or dead from the swing. 

```
Mai
```
The assassin backed himself against the wall, making a thrust with his sword to keep Mai away - or to stab her in one of her limb if she don't keep her distance. 

```
Bodyguard Group 1 
```
The first group of bodyguard stayed on their boat, unwilling to make a move. 

```
Bodyguard Group 2 
```
The group of bodyguard to the south finished dealing with the assassins in the south, getting on the remaining boat and rowing toward the other guards to the north. The armored and robed man advanced toward them, throwing a fireball at one of the guard, who promptly blocked it with the shield.
Stephen
*The knight gives a good kick towards Assassin 3, aiming to knock him out or disorient him further in the cold water. Assassin 2 seemed to be taken care of.*

*Helion runs up behind assassin 5, slamming him with the shield in the back of the head. He spins his mace in an upwards fashion in his hand while doing so, and slams the mace upward into Assassin 4's groin.*
Darrell
Mai would simply step back to dodge the assassin attack, being careful not to fall into the river.
Martha
```
Helion
```
Assassin 3 was kicked into the water, and will take a bit to recover from his predicament. 

Helion would have time to get to the other two assassin - but not enough to make two more consecutive attacks. 

```
Mai
```
Mai managed to dodge them, and the two assassins turned around to see Helion right next to him. 

Both of them dropped their sword immediately, lifting their hands up to signal surrender. 

With the assassins surrendering, the two bodyguards moved up north onto the pier

```
Enemy
```
The robed and armored man decided to move south where Helion and Mai was a few turns earlier, flanking the group from behind. 

The robed man prepared his staff for another cast.
Darrell
Upon seeing that the two had surrendered, Mai would leave them with the guards and Helion. But, there were still two other problems on the other side that had to be solved.

The panther's blue eyes fixed on both of them for a moment, before it jumped to the other side again. Thus, they would have to focus on only one target, if it were the case that only one of them had magical abilities and could not shoot two different targets. The panther would approach slowly, its fangs showing as its tail whipped the air.

```Psionic Speed: 3 turns left.
7.5 Mana regenerated. Mana Remaining: 32.5/60```
Stephen
*The armored man looks at the two assassins.*

"Good. If you truly surrender, jump in the water. Now."

*He wasn't taking any chances. The assassins could simply get back up and backstab them, literally, but he didn't need to kill them.*

"Get to Tuast, I'll stay here."

*Helion stands in front of the rest of the group with his shield, since he could see that the mage was attempting to attack them again.*
Martha
```
Mai
```
Mai successfully jumped over to the otherside, just as the armored and robed man advanced. 

The robed man fired a fireball at Bodyguard 3, who is still on the boat The spell hit him in the butt, making him jump into the water in panic to put out the fire. 

```
Helion
```

The assassins' attempt to jump into water was interrupted by how crowded the pier was. 

"But... But they are blocking the way!" 

The other bodyguard moved out, and then they jumped into the water. 

```
Other bodyguards
```
The bodyguards who didn't jump into the water moved behind Helion, taking cover behind him. 

One of the bodyguard inside called out. 

"IS IT OVER YET!?"
Stephen
"TWO MORE! AN ARMORED SABER WIELDER AND A MAGE!"

*It didn't seem like the two were going to stop anytime soon. He would have to go towards them, and moving back where he came from would take too long.*

*He turns to one of the guards.*

"I'm going to get in the boat, I want you to push it to the other side."

*He gets inside and places his shield up before throwing his mace at the wizard's torso. Against a more skilled swordsman, he would need a weapon with more reach. His hand begins to glow silver.*

```Summoning Crescent Vanguard!```
Darrell
*Oh well. Maybe it would take Helion a while to get on the boat and the guards push him. And the panther hadn't paid much attention anyway.*

The panther, seeing that the mage was now far from the man in armor, took her chance so she could try to get one out of the play. With her eyes fixed on him, like a prey and its hunter, the panther ran to the end of the deck and pounced towards the man. Taking advantage of her size advantage, Mai was just trying to take the man down and attack him, without falling into the river. Falling into the river or not, when she reached the man, she would already try to bite him on the head or neck.
Martha
```
Helion 
```
Helion managed to get on the boat, with a bodyguard pushing it over to the other side, giving it a helping with the paddle. Helion is now in middle of the waterway. 

The mace landed on the wizard's torso, making him yap out an "OW!", right before he is pounced.


```
Mai
```
*Mai jumped onto the robed man before he could cast another spell. The man's would be propelled backward by the pounce, his head dipping into the river and his body slipping - but with enough time for Mai to jump off him if she wished to. 

The armored man, alarmed by this jump, turned north, stepping over his dead comrade's body to assist the robed mage. *
```
Others
```
*Bodyguard 3 managed to climb back onto the boat, reaching the shore. 

"Hey! He is running!" Bodyguard 2 screamed, pointing at Assassin 3. 

A person threw open the windows on the house to the east,*"Will you all quiet down!?"

*Assassin 5 and 6 waded away through the waterway toward the west*

```
Turn 10
```
Stephen
*He really couldn't do much, except maybe for throwing his shield. After all, it was custom made so that it would be aerodynamic in the air. He tosses it like a frisbee (Captain America style) aiming for Assassin 6's back. He then yells to assassin 3.*

"Stop there, and we won't need to punish you further!"

*He then turned to the of the guardsman.*

"Get them if you can, but make sure two of you stay."

*Helion then waited for the boat to reach the other side.*
