At Jalna's threatening response, the bandits raise their weapons, that appear to be poorly made machates or sabers, the edges uneven and jagged from poor maintenance, the sight of the weapons no doubt insulting to the dwarven smith at the barbarian's side. With a heavy sigh, Belaim drops his pack as well, reaching for the axe hanging from his belt and raising it to his defense.<br/>"Was gonna say to try and talk our way outta this since we ain't got no armor. But fine, I hope ye can back all that fierceness up. I'm too old to teach all of these kids a lesson be meself." he shifted his feet so he could turn with his back to the woman's. "Cover each other's flanks, don't break out unless ye have to. They got no bows or crossbows on 'em, so let 'em come to us. Try to take out the slower ones and reduce the number of threats first." he growled under his beard, assessing the situation and the enclosing ring of attackers around them.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Initiative:<br/>20 Belaim<br/>18 Jalna<br/>16 Bandit leader<br/>15 Bandits (5)<br/><br/>Belaim uses the ability leadership on his first turn, giving Jalna an extra d4 to roll with her attacks and saving throws for the next minute or until Belaim is incapacitated.</div></div>
