I'd love to see them back at the carriage by tonight, or tomorrow morning at the very latest. Sebastian will be off to work for the day sometime soonish, so you guys can do the fade-to-black thing with him, and just let him add his side to the story when he pops on again. If you guys get impatient, assume he rides out and tries pick up Sylria and Lilian, offering them a ride back. The whole time, there's bullets whizzing by one way, and arrows shooting back the other.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Marcus Dupont</strong>, Outside the Carriages [Marcus Dupont, Richard Dupont, William Bond, Louis Blanc, Lilian Montague, Sebastian Archambault, Frederick Martin]<br/><br/>Marcus Dupont watched as the young gentleman aimed his musket for several moments, still not firing. "Loose your bullet, man," he screamed at Frederick impatiently. As long as the Falkovnian soldiers could be dealt with while they were still at range, the situation was in their favor. Right now they were taking free shots at the running men.<br/><br/>The young noble man ignored him, his body calm and relaxed. This might as well have been a deer hunt for all it seemed to affect him. "Almost," he murmured, adjusting his muzzle a tiny bit. And then he squeezed the trigger. The recoil from the explosion brought the barrel of his muzzle up with a jerk. Frederick didn't even watch to see his shot land. He simply began to reload his weapon, his actions smooth and practiced.<br/><br/>Not more than ten feet behind Sylria, the fastest of the Falkovnian soldiers was almost upon her. "You're going to pay for making us chase you, you elven whore. Get back..." There was a loud explosion. Another musket fired. Something wet landed on Sylria's back, and then she heard the thud of something heavy striking the ground.
