<div class="floatright">(http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd468/sybakrys/Amplus/2385788281_small_2.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Gaius<br/><strong>Designation:</strong>Medicus<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Between Barcino and Tarraco on Route to Ludus Leonis Scopulus Tarraconensis<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong><br/><br/>It was some time before Gaius became aware that something was going on outside and under normal circumstances he should have been paying more attention. He had just seen to the pleasure of the slave and was now beginning to turn his attentions to his own, when from a short distance off he was sure that he heard the word ‘thieves’ followed by ‘we are under attack’. Within seconds he was trying to do his best to move the women from his lap, but the more he struggled the more she seemed to be enjoyed his movements.<br/><br/>When the door was ripped from its hinges, he saw a man who showed clear signs that he wanted to use his sword to impale Gaius into his current seated position, on a more permanent bases. Gaius, being swift of mind as well as body, moved the female like a shield, when the man lunged the sword in his direction, which gave him the time to grab his dagger and exit, naked, via the other door. He heard a scream from the female as the sword entered her chest, followed be a moment of silence when she died. Gaius then leaped over the gap between the horses and the carriage and slid under the man’s horse to stab it in the heart. The horse buckled and once Gaius was free from the area, the creature fell, which trapped the man leg under the creature. Now with a clear chance, Gaius avenged the slave and cut the man’s throat with a swift left to right with his now blood soaked blade.<br/><br/>Now conscious that he was still naked, he tore the man’s cloak from his back, while he was still gasping for air and wrapped it around his waist before looking to see who needed his help. After a few seconds he could see that some of the guards were still standing around as if waiting for instruction so, after taking the dead man’s sword, he sent one of the guards to untie the gladiators and with the other three he charged towards Aelia carriage to try and undo the ground that the thieves had already gained due to his earlier distraction with the now dead female slave.<br/><br/>As he ran to their aid, the first of the gladiators joined them, followed some time later by the others. By the time he had his full complement of protectors, Gaius had sustained a few wounds but nothing that would not heal in time as he made his way to Aelia’s carriage cutting down anyone who stood in his way, with his dagger and recently acquired sword in hand. There we still many thieves to take down but with a careful use of hand gestures that the gladiators and guards understood, Gaius was starting to make progress on this unforeseen attack of opportunity. Some were sent in pursuit of those that were trying to make off with their possessions whilst the others joined in the fight for the lives of their owners.<br/><br/>Whether Gaius would succeed in defending those in which he had under his protection he was unsure at this point but if he was to die today then he would take as many of the thieves as possible with him and die with honour.<br/>
