In the background you hear the yells and cries of pain from the leader of the band that issued your death and the thief in the box.<br/><br/>Combat: Guard goes defensive.<br/><strong><br/>Dirk: </strong>As you hop over the backside of the captain you dagger nearly misses as his longsword seems to leap from its sheath and tries to parry your blow. You dagger strikes home as he yells out and kicks his horse in it's side. Without warning the hind leg of the beast lashes out and connects with your shoulder, bringing you a lot of pain. The leader dismounts onto the left side of the animal as the other guards moves up and strikes at you with his sword. Unarmored the blow lands easily on your exposed flesh. The leader in turn looks at the mounted knight on the road and then towards you. A smile on his lips. "Assist us with the capture of these traitors and the road will be cleared." Down the road you see a bolt appear in the chest of the still mounted guard as he looks between the knight and the bushes.<br/><br/>Combat: Light Warhorse attacks.

The appointed leader yells for your aid as he watches the unarmored man carefully.<br/><br/><strong>Wick</strong>: With the last two arrows sinking into the flesh of the large wolf you see the fire go out in it's eyes. It fights to remain standing and takes a single step forwards and falls to the ground with a thud. It takes one more breath and then lays still.<br/><br/>Combat: Wolf dead.<br/><br/><strong>Ayi'yan &amp; Lisa:</strong>As you walk around the grounds of the temple you start to feel an odd presence in the area. Continuing on with your conversation you enter into one of the shines for normal travelers. It is a large dome shaped stone building with large oak doors. Entering into the building you see pillars circling around an altar within the center of the room, along the walls you also see the pillars as well. On display you see an unmarked shield. The sunlight from a hole in the roof strikes its surface brightening the dimly lit room. Knowing that the shield isn't normally on display here you walk a bit farther into the room. Then you hear a loud crashing noises from behind as the two oak doors slam closed. Silence follows as you wonder how such large doors could close with such force. Then the laughter echoes from around the room. "Like lambs to the slaughter my friend." In reply you hear. "Like lambs indeed."
