*There it was. Opportunity. As soon as the warrior raises his shield, Ling rushes in and slashed at his leg with her right sword, once again extending her reach as her blade glows blue. Her left sword would stay up to deflect any spear stabs.*

*Then, she saw the other one attacking the Okamimi.*

"Machi!"
Robert
Machi was unprepared to see the spearmen raise his shield to protect himself against the fireball. Her eyes widened when she saw the other charge in, and she moved her blade, and swung at the wood of the spear, hoping she'd cut deep enough to chop off the spear's tip.
Stacey
The middle right spearman would take a slash to his leg, the unexpected range extension cleaving his lower leg in half. He dropped onto the ground haplessly. 

The rightmost spearman's spear moved toward Machi, and the sword managed to deflect the spear slightly - making the spear's blade slashes Machi's leg with its sharpened edge, instead of stabbing it square-on. 

The rightmost spearman back off and then turn around, trying to run and disengage to the south.

The Oni archers are nowhere to be seen, while the remaining bandits disappear temporarily behind a ridge, outside of the archer and mage's sight

"Shit! Are you ok?"

*The macen ignores the running spearman, only paying attention to Machi. There's a cut on her leg, and it looks _bad_. She sheathes a single sword, preparing to catch Machi if she falls.*

"Come on, let's get to the mage. He has healing."
Robert
The Okamimi whined in pain, as she got hit, and lost her balance. She moved her hands to her wound. She hissed in pain, trying to just stop the bleeding. The wound cut deep, as it is.

"Fuck!" She'd wince. "That hurts! Sounds... Like a good idea, Ling."

She agreed, with a nod.
Stacey
The two moved toward the mage slowly. At this rate, maybe it would be better for them to call for the mage. 

"Ah! It looks like you're injured!" The mage said, before scrambling to run east, pass the group of merchants and archers. 

At the same time, the caravan master yelled out. 

"I think they're going for our camels!" The master warned, and then gathered the armed merchant and archers to go west - down the hill so they can stop the bandits.

Turn 14

Michael
"Shit... Machi, can you handle yourself?"

*If she responded yes, Ling would nod, then turning to rush over to the west side as quickly as possible.*

"Stay safe!"
Robert
"I'll be fine, go!"

She said, waving her hand, dismissively. She used her sword and its sheath to help her balance herself, as she stumbled towards the mage, cursing and whimpering softly from the injury.

She felt disappointed in herself, for getting wounded like she had. A part of her pride being humbled by being wounded, but she was i too much pain to really be reflecting on her mistakes.
Stacey
The three wounded spearmen would disappear spontaneously, and the remaining one ran back west toward the rest of the group. 

Ling would leave Machi behind, sprinting as quickly as possible west, covering almost ten meters in a single turn, since she is scrambling for it. 

```
On the other side
```
The archers and armed merchants are still moving over to the side of the cliff. 

The Lamellar Oni snapped his hand, and stopped in place, concentrating as a circle appear on the ground besides him. The remaining Onis rushed toward the camels and its goods. 

```
Turn 15
```

The mage continued scrambling toward Machi to heal her.
Michael
*Ling just, kept on running. Really not sure what else she can do.*
Robert
Machi of course just tried to make it to the mage. She winced with every stop, and eventually fell over. She just tried to crawl the rest of the way, doing her best to keep her wounded leg from the sands and any weight.

But, other than that, that's all she can do, really.
Stacey
```
Two turns later. 
```
Machi arrived at the mage, with the mage panting as she casts **Touch of Restoration** On her, holding her by the nearest appendage - which happens to be her head. A green glow transfer from her hand to Machi's wounded feet. 

With the other hand she grabbed Machi's shoulder, and cast the spell of **Numb** On her to numb her pain. 

```
In the West
```
Ling arrived just in time to see a new scene - the merchants are heckling and panicking, shouting at the bandits but unwilling to engage at all. The archers were getting into position - until the Lamellar-equipped Oni let out a battle cry, leading the none-spearman to charge the group of merchants. 

"Oh shit!" **The Caravan Master** Shouted, before backing off with the archers and merchants in fear. 

The other spearman are taking advantage of the distraction, heading toward the camels in an attempt to steal them with their goods.
