The bandit's reflexes are surprisingly quick... he tilts his head to the side, dodging what would have been a fatal blow. Of course, the flaming arrow does leave a deep, cauterized wound all along one side of his head, so that's not the best situation for him...<br/><br/>"You WHORE!" The man draws his greataxe, and his men all draw their swords... only to be stopped short by a sudden incantation from the Oracle, spoken in a cacophony of tongues. A moment later, she falls silent...<br/><br/>"That's it? What wa-" and then the very air explodes, a thunderclap with no lightning among the bandits, and seven screams ring in the air. At least one bandit collapses, and several others seem to be very hurt. Even the great-axe wielding leader seems like he's about to fall over at any moment...<br/><br/>"Enough! Take them!" The leader charges in a bloody rage, aiming directly for you, and his five remaining lackeys come with him. Two for you, and three for the Oracle... Within moments, you find yourself locked in a melee.<br/><br/>Luckily, you're quick enough on your feet that you are able to easily dodge or deflect every strike your attackers throw at you, and the Oracle is almost as quick. Almost, but not quite... one of the bandits' blades cuts a nasty gash across her stomach, causing her to cry out in pain and anger...
