Shio was the first to act and he acted with such speed that it bordered on the supernatural.    His two quick and savage blows put the injured archer down and he crumbled to the alleyway, unmoving and no longer a threat to the crew.    He then turned and with his fists encased in flames, stuck the man with a solid blow, and as he did do, his armor started to catch on fire, causing the thug to panic, dropping hi weapon and using gloved hands in an attempt to slap out the flames.<br/><br/>This left the man at the mercy of Dolgrin.   It was the thugs unfortunate fate that the Dwarven inquisitor had to mercy, not in this scenario with the attackers using lethal force against his shipmates.    Dolgrin battle cry reverberated within the confines of the alleyway.   It was still echoing as his battle axe came down on the vulnerable thug, near cutting him in two from his skull to the center of his chest.   Blood sprayed out from the vicious strike and splattered all over Dolgrin.<br/><br/>The sight of the Dolgrin, the sheer menace in his eyes and the blood dripping from his armored form was enough to unnerve the remaining in the alleyway.  This meant they were not focusing upon defense.  This was how Okibura manged to catch one off guard ad  his magic hit the full force, making him see nothing but bright lights, and also making  him a prime target.    Two arrows sink into his chest up to near their fletching.   This was immediately by Sai's vicious attack.   She might look tiny, but there is a solid mass behind her.   With her own considerable strength and power, as well as the momentum of her charge, it was no wonder why there was the sound of cracking bone on the stunned thug as Sai's fist connected with the left side of his face.   The thug dropped to the alleyway as if it did not have a solid bone in his body.<br/><br/>These actions bought time for Elana to work her battle magic.    Her cast out the arcane words as her hands gestured, and small circles of black voids appeared, and four flaming insect like creatures.   They made no noise save the clicking of their feet upon the alleyway as they advanced.    The man, the only one left of the group standing or alive, tossed his weapon down and cried out in a panicked, shrill like voice.<strong>"I yield!  I yield!   I want to live, so I surrender!"</strong>
