Advised that infiltrating and ridding the thieves would be better in the evening, the two adventurers offering to assist in the removal of the ruffians find themselves hidden amongst the thickets, just outside the fortress walls. Although it might have seemed like it, calling it a 'fortress' wouldn't necessarily be an over-exaggeration, as though it is just a mere camp, it was massive, and well-sheltered; no doubt well-protected as well. It would only prove to explain how they've managed to survive for so long. Occasionally, the cry of a monster can be heard from within, confirming suspicions that there are more than just ordinary people in there. Accompanied by boisterous laughter and hollering, it would appear that the bandits are enjoying themselves inside, save for the poor lesser-appreciated guards of the camp, two of which stand in the vicinity equipped with curved sabres, looking sharp (and bored), impeding the party's way of moving forth. Their objectives are simple: Eliminate the bandits, or chase them off. How they go about doing so is entirely up to their own jurisdiction.

[Ayameru]

Firelight eyes flickered brightly. Aya felt every sense in her tingle with excitement finding that this mission was going to be quite exciting. Ok, perhaps agreeing to help out a desperate village's call for help seemed to be all the rage these days, but why not do something heroic for a change? Aya might not be hero material, due to many contributing flaws on her part but we're digressing~ Her violent tendencies were getting all pent up as of lately, and what better way to get a good release than to smack around some thieves while she's at it? After all, when you're all pent up, it's healthy to just let yourself go!

The petite fairy stared through the thickets noticing that there was only two guards out on patrol. Security in the front gate was very lax, which was quite disappointing given that this was suppose to be the group that has been giving the territory problems? They either had to be pretty confident that nobody would dare oppress them or seriously stupid as hell to think that two guardsmen were sufficient to keep watch outside. "May the best mercenary win," she mused.

Batting her wings, she took flight as she unsheathe her katana before gliding over the guards' heads. A smirk formed upon her impish lips. Aya practically dive-bombed head first towards one of the guards coming down with a violent smash attempting to plant the butt of her blade against bandit's head. She turned the other bandit before raising a free hand up, and ignited a flare in her hands trying to scare him off.

Or did that only work on animals?

Summary. Assaulted Bandit A with an aerial approach. Tried scaring off Bandit B with fire. Nothing else~

Notes. This post fails so hard. ;w;

[jakku]

"Hmmmmm" Jakku moaned as he walked over to the bandits gate. Unlike the girl, Gorons were not blessed by the goddesses with the ability of flight. Even if they were given wings the sheer weight of the average Goron would make it an ironic addition to them. But Jakku never put much thought into that.

He was on another business trip visiting the other lands of Hyrule. He had not even taken a few steps from the base of Death Mountain when his path was blocked by these bandits. Was it a bad omen? Jakku didn't really know what one was. Either way these troublemakers were blocking his path.

Jakku sat there for a second, thinking about how to get through. He could easily plant some bomb flowers and then start blowing everything up that was in the way.

Instead the Goron blacksmith pulled out his gigantic hammer and began to bang on the bandits gate. The force from the hammer shook the giant structure almost causing it to crumble down.

"Helloooooooooo? Mind letting me come in-goro?"

Of all the different kinds of assaults that could happen, a direct frontal (or rather, aerial) was not what they had been expecting. A sudden blur of crimson was all the first bandit had seen, yelling out a sudden gasp of shock as the butt of the fairy's blade made a powerful impact against his skull. After a moment, he stood, dazed, until he fell unconscious and crashed to the dirt floor. Bandit A has been knocked out for the time being. The other guard had of course seen this, and was quick to take action, naturally as the gatekeeper he was supposed to be. Bandit B jumped back quickly, holding his sabre in front of him as he called out edgily through the gates. "'Truder alert!" The cliche words poured from his mouth, and repeated several times, as a sudden spark from his peripherals drew him to the alert, looking to see the flame-haired girl had summoned a flame. A nerve seemed to have been hit, as he bit his lipped, but he quickly regained resolve. "If yeh think that'll scare me, think agai--" Bandit B moved to leap forward and strike the fairy, but was instead intercepted as a giant Goron seemed to step in the way, slamming a giant hammer into the gate, as if the bandit weren't even standing there. Jumping at the rumbling of the gate, the miniature earthquakes that resulted, until he once again regained his bearings. "Oy, oy, stop that, I say, you oaf! Where'n 'ell's my backup!?" In the end, the lone Bandit decided to defend with his life, deciding it would be better to take out the one causing the most of his troubles. But how to deal with a goron? He didn't know, he'd never had to. So he did the next best thing he knew, and first tried to throw his blade at his intimidating foe, and then quickly following up to throw himself at him, hopefully intending to latch on to the goron's back and wrap his arms around his neck and perhaps strangle him. Bandit B has thrown his sabre at Jakku, and is now attempting to jump on his back and strangle him. Oh. Poor Bandit.

[Ayameru]

Score! Aya landed an instant knockout watching as Bandit A plummeted to the ground out cold. He won't be getting up anytime soon. The cocky fairy concluded by the time he got back up, there wouldn't be anything left of this fortress by the time she was done with all of them. The fire fairy noticed it right away that as soon as the second bandit let out a cry alerting the others of their presence, she knew it wasn't going to get any easier from there on out. All the more fun to have~ She wasn't surprise that her second tactic didn't work to be honest, she was being immature, after all. In the mean time, she decided to check up on what her partner was doing...

She blinked a couple of times watching as Bandit B tried to strike her. However, there was a slight change in directions as the Goron's blatant approach on the matters was such a magnet that it caught both the guard, and Aya's attention. Can we say radical much? The tremors caused by Jakku's hammer slamming against the gate caught her off guard. "Hey rocky," she officially nicknamed him, "I think he's a little too old to be playing piggyback ride, don't you agree?"

Aya would let him take care of the little pest. The fairy was quite positive he was capable of at least getting rid of the bandit on his own~ All he had to do really was roll over, and squish the guy, but that was just one option he could go with. Aya focused more on the door. Her firelight eyes stared at it for a moment before pointing at the goron. "I think one more smash ought to bring it down," she suggested. Bossy? Certainly not Aya~

Summary. Took no action. Kinda sorta bossed Jakku to smash the gate down~

[jakku]

Down came the sabre that the bandit had thrown at Jakku. It wasn't the smartest thing in the world to do, but bandits weren't known for their ability to think things through. Jakku simply knocked it away with his hammer. He was about to yell something fierce at the bandit that would make even the purest priest blush cherry red when the same bandit attempted to jump onto Jakkus back by jumping off of the gate.

This bandit really didn't put alot of thought into his actions. What kind of Goron did he think Jakku was? Had he never heard of the great Master Goron Blacksmith Jakku Goro? Did tales of his valorous ventures during the war not reach even the most low life of bandits? Well this guy was about to get a crash course in who he was dealing with.

Jakku tightly gripped the handle of his hammer and got into a batters position. He twirled the hammer around and swung with all of his might. Jakku swung timing it so that the hammers face would connect with the bandits jaw and put in enough force to send him flying to the heavens themselves.

When it was all said and done Jakku turned over to the girl.
"Hmmm Rrrrocky? I'm not some kind of dinner dish-goro. The names Jakku Goro! "

Jakku pounded the gate once more to teach the little missy a lesson.

He did not lose face when he saw the Goron easily knocked away his blade, but unfortunately was too far in the motions to be able to dodge the hammer swinging at him (instead of the door, which he had assumed would continued to have hit the door and he wouldn't have had to worry about it. How wrong he had been.) The crack against his jaw sounded just as unsettling as when Ayameru had butted the fellow gatekeeper, only this time the poor soul was sent flying to who knows where. Bandit B is blasting off again! All still for the time being, the Goron was successfully able to strike the gate, and with that, it came rumbling down, spewing up a cloud of dust and debris to those nearby, resonating against the ground with a solid, lackluster thud. As the lingering cloud of dirt and dust cleared, the sound of a single pair of hands clapping together sounded, and from peering through the hole of the now inexistent gate, there was certainly a sight to behold. For there was a formation, consisting of the bandits and monsters alike, with at least four bandits, lined to form a semi-circle, with a total of two white wolfos, standing at the ends. In the center, equally dividing the bandits to two on each had of the semi-circle, the man who applauded, slowly following after with a "Tsk, tsk," as he whimsically waggled a finger at the two intruders. "We certainly have a pair of such violent guests." The silver-haired hylian would continue on, ominously bright icy eyes with a flicker of peril and amusement. "Unless you're interested in hopping on our little bandwagon, I'm afraid you'll need to turn around. No need to worry about the gate you just so ruthlessly... demolished." "Fail to comply, and I suppose we'll have to dispose of you ourselves."

[Ayameru]

Aya had to admit that the Goron was certainly one amazing tank. He made the gate look like a pile of cards toppling over, and creating a very satisfying cloud of dust as it broke down. She couldn't help but snicker noticing how easy it was going to be to pick on him. Yeah, Aya was a bit on the immature side. Although we're going to save the leisures for another time. It was time to kick some sorry bad guy butts!

When the clouds cleared up, the young fairy rubbed the bridge of her nose arrogantly. Firelight eyes narrowed over to the Hylian behind the brains of the operation going on here. He brought friends along with him~ She blinked a couple times. A grin escaped her lips amused at the audacity the head haunch had thinking that they would be low enough to join their ranks. "You know what they say~ Violence is never the best answer," she said whilst tapping the blunt end of her katana upon her shoulder, "but it sure is a hell of fun!"

In order to emphasize the indirect statement 'I don't care about what you have to say, I'm going to kick your ass', Aya conjured up a fireball within the palm of her hands. Taking aim, she chucked the sucker straight at the semi-circle, attempting to split the group so she could take them out one by one. Or at least in smaller pairs.

Summary. Pretty much told off the group leader, and threw a fireball at the semi-circle.

Fireball. 1/3

[jakku]

Jakku began to walk over the pile of debris that he made when they were once again blocked by a group of bandits. This time around they brought with them a few extra hands. The one that seemed to be in charge of the group tried to convince Jakku and Ays to join their group.

Now Jakku was insulted by this mans harsh threat. Not because the Hylian underestimated his superior Goron strength, but to think a elder of the Goron tribe would abandon his brothers and his reputation as a Master Blacksmith. That was in his mind, absolutely unforgivable.
"Hmph! You think I'd tarnish the reputation of the Goron tribe by joining a bunch of no good bandits-goro?"

Jakku raised his hammer and rushed towards the crowd that had now been scattered around thanks to Aya's fireball. He targeted his first opponent the Wolfos on his right side and swung his hammer at it. Instead of stopping after he had made contact, Jakku continued his swing and spun around to attack the White Wolfos once again.

"Such fiery spirits, but harsh tongues," He sighed, almost digressing to himself as he shook his head. "You're going to catch a cold with the ice inside your souls." "But ah, well, it's about time we migrated elsewhere, and you'll certainly be doing us a great service of ridding our... expendables. For that I am grateful, although now I must attend other matters." He seemed to bow his head slightly, for whatever reason. The Hylian made to turn back, but he paused, holding an index finger skyward, as if he had a point that he failed to address. "Your first fault was underestimating us. You last is that you chose to move forth instead of turning back." A slight tilt of his head, and he could see the party's movements as they began their assault, but the enemies had yet to move. The man simply smiled, said "I should also thank you for supplying such a generous amount of fire," and with that, he made to leave, revealing not one, but several objects he had concealed in his cloak: a set of bombs, three to be exact, which he threw to intercept and burst aflame within the fireball the fairy had sent. It did not take even a second for the bombs to go off, creating an explosion that threw debris and cracked the stone walls and floors of the fortress. A cloud of smoke and flames would illuminate the room, hindering vision. Even if a Goron was a bit more resistant to such things, it would hopefully be enough to impede him as he moved forward to attack. The mysterious Hylian has left, throwing three bombs into the field to intercept and explode on contact with Aya's fireballs. At that, the group began to stir. It would appear strategy had not been considered by the party, for the slowest member had decided to take on the quickest enemy. As a result, even if the Goron had not been affected by the bombs, or even hindered, the White Wolfos B could easily see his attacks coming, and briskly jumped to the side then back, also submerging itself in a cloud of smoke created by the bombs. Several others followed suit, aiming to jump when the time was right. Wolfos B has evaded Jakku and is now hidden and lurking in the cloud of smoke. Ruffians A, B, and D have done the same. As if taking its kin's place, the other Wolfos, A, had dashed forwards towards the Goron, leaping along its path and abruptly lowering its head as it attempted to strike a headbutt against Jakku's upper torso, perhaps in order to knock him off balance. Wolfos A ran and leapt at Jakku, attempting to headbutt the goron in the upper torso. So that left Ruffian C, also concealed by the smoke, whom decided to strike from the one place that would give him an advantage. Lifting to the higher area of the room, and puncturing through the blanket of 'safety' at a precisely-timed moment, the Oocca drew a bow, hovering in the air as he fired three arrows simultaneously, that which had been strung between each of his knuckles, towards the crimson fairy girl. Ruffian C has taken to the skies and fired three arrows (lined vertically, or 'stacked' on top of each other) at Ayameru.

[Ayameru]

Aya cursed mentally. The friggin' Hylian used the fireball she tossed at them against them, and created a smokescreen diversion to escape. His lackeys were left behind to take care of the dirty business. How typical of the classic baddie~ She squinted her eyes at the incoming smoke that covered the surrounding area. Well, this kinda sucks. Well, at least for the goron. Oh well~ Raising her katana up, she closed her eyes focusing as patiently as she could for any signs of incoming attacks. She could hear the sounds coming from all sorts of directions, but none of them signaled incoming danger at her precisely.

That is until she picked up flapping wings, and soon enough the whizzing sound of arrows came straight towards her. She tensed up before opening her eyes, timing with much concentration a long horizontal slash, cutting the perfectly aligned arrows off of their course, attempting breach their course, and knock them away. Getting a general direction to where those arrows were fired, Aya went airborne, and breached the smoke-leveled ground finding the archer behind the arrows. These feathered creatures didn't take kindly to fire, right? Well, so did the Deku, but let's not digress~

Aya conjured up another fireball, and threw it at the oocca in midair. If that didn't work then Aya followed it up with a diagonal uppercut with her katana. She didn't mind if this turned out to be a dogfight. Fun, fun~

Summary. Countered the arrows, then took up to the air. Threw a fireball at the oocca in retaliation, followed up by a regular assault with her katana~

Fireball. 2/3

[jakku]

Sorry for the late reply. IRL kept me busy this weekend.
The smoke that surrounded the battle area had very little effect to Jakku as far as preventing him from continuing the fight. They didn't know that the Goron Elder had spent days upon weeks in training his blacksmith skills inside the volcanic Death Mountain where thick magmatic smoke used to just cover the entire mountain peak. Since Gorons don't technically breathe, the clouds didn't really bother him. As for it impairing his vision, that too wasn't affecting him since Jakku could rely on his hearing if need be.

These White Wolfos were quick compared to even the most seasoned of Gorons. With his attack missing its target, Jakku prepared for the oncoming attack from the other Wolfos. It leapt at Jakku attempting to head butt it in the Gorons torso. Jakku countered by summoning a spike right in the middle of his torso and lunging forward at the White Wolfos to pierce the snow beast right in its face. Once that was done he would shake the monster (who would most likely be killed by this) off of his spike and aim the spike over in the cloudy area where the last Wolfo was.

Jakku waited until the dust cleared or until the White Wolfos would attack him keeping his guard up for an attack from it or any of the other minions.

[atrb=valign,top][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellpadding,0,true][atrb=width,450,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=style, width: 375px; font-size: 10.5px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 5px; padding: 10px;] The Oocca gave a slight clicking of the tongue in disappointment as the Fairy managed to counter his attack, and she was now able to pinpoint his location. From there, on level with the Fairy in the skies, he could see that she was a close-ranged fighter, and also, thanks to her attack earlier that had backfired, he was able to anticipate that she would likely try to pull the same trick again. It didn't take long for him to prove himself correct, and as the Fairy threw a fireball towards him, Ruffian C folded his wings for a small moment, dropping from the sky just enough to dodge the fireball before resuming his hovering flight. At that time, Ayameru was also swooping in for a slash with her katana. But if she thought that these Ruffians were as dull as the gatekeepers, she was quite wrong. Even as an archer, he was well aware his weakness was close-ranged combat, but that was easily amendable. The sword slashed in, and the winged man quickly threw his bow (that which was of metal, mind you. The bandits weren't poor forest people) horizontally to intercept the katana, perhaps bringing them at a brief stalemate upon the clash of metal. In that time, the Oocca also drew an arrow from the quiver on his back twirling it in his fingers to direct the tip at his opponent, but rather than string it to his bow, currently being used as a means of protection, he thrusted the arrow towards the flame-haired girl's shoulder, as a sort of makeshift dagger. Ruffian C has dodged the fireball, and intercepted/blocked Ayameru's blade. He then proceeds to pull an arrow from his stash and attempts to stab Aya in her (left) shoulder. Unfortunately, the Wolfos A didn't seem to have any luck. As it was nigh-impossible to change directions when in mid-air, it would appear that it was at it life end when the Goron moved to counter with a steel spike. Fortunately, the Wolfos was a quick thinker, and as it neared the Goron and its death, it turned its head away at the last moment, as a last resort and perhaps even miraculous gamble. Lady luck had not yet abandoned the monster, for as it made impact with the Goron, it howled in pain, but thanks to its actions prior, rather than being stabbed in the face with an instant kill as Jakku had expected, its head was narrowly missed and the monster was instead stabbed in the right shoulder. It was shaken off afterwards, skidding to the ground with a smear of blood trailing after, but it was still alive, nonetheless. Wolfos A snarled as it attempted to scramble to its feet despite injury, and jumped at a lopsided sprint back to attack the Goron again, this time its maw wide open and aiming to bite and latch on to his arm. At the same moment, Wolfos B took the cue, and emerged from the cloud of smoke, but from an entirely different position than whence it vanished. Now to the Goron's right, Wolfos B mirrored his kin's actions and attempted to jump for the Goron's other arm. Also taking note that the Goron might be the toughest to take down, Ruffian D decided to work with the two monsters, and also revealed himself from the smokescreen, charging towards Jakku with what appeared to be a polearm. As he neared the Human thought to keep as much distance as he could, as he swung the axe-like blade of his weapon in a diagonal swipe, aiming at the mid to lower portion of his torso. Wolfos A was mortally impaled in the (right) shoulder, but has managed to retaliate and is now attempting to bite and latch on to Jakku's left arm. Wolfos B has emerged from the smoke and is copying Wolfos A, but instead going for Jakku's right arm. Ruffian D has also taken initiative and charged at Jakku from the front as the Wolfos assault, swinging a polearm diagonally (like /, but less steep and more horizontal) at his lower torso (belly, basically).

[Ayameru]

The stinging sound of metal clashing against steel rang within her ears. She clicked her tongue sharply as their weapons locked in a stalemate. Unfortunately, both of her hands were kept in lock upon the hilt of her blade, she didn't get the chance to form a maneuver to break the clash in time to break away from the incoming arrow that stabbed her shoulder. A small hiss escaped from her lips, but she swallowed her pain, keeping their weapons locked in place. Aya would make sure this pain in the ass would feel her wrath tenfold for poking her with a freakin' arrow. Freeing one of her hands, Aya conjured up the last fireball, knowing well enough that there was a very small chance for him to dodge this one from being so close.

"Burn betch," she spat venomously. Her hand pulled back before throwing the ball of flames straight at the feathered opponent. As soon as she tossed her ball of fire fun, she dislodged her katana from the bandit's bow, bridging a distance between them. As she did this, she pulled the arrow out of her shoulder, causing a small trickle of blood to begin flowing from her wound. Covering her free hand over the wound, a flash of light escaped from her palm as she began healing her wound until it closed up.

Summary. Took an arrow to the shoulder, locked the Oocca in place before countering his stabbity by throwing her final fireball at him. Began tending to her wounds~

A nasty "disembowelment", shall we call it, and leave it at that. Wolfos A, Wolfos B, and Ruffian D have succeeded in their attack. The Oocca appeared mildly satisfied as he heard the Fairy's hiss of pain, as he released the arrow and tried for some on-the-spot judgment, but was a bit too late to dodge Ayameru's counter attack. Although he had attempted to get out of the way, he was too late to do so, as the flames scorched him relentlessly, catching the side of his face and a part of his wing. With a grimace and flinch of pain, Ruffian C was unable to stay afloat, and began to make an unwillingly rushed descent to the ground. At that time, the smoke was clearing up completely, and seeing his comrade falling, Ruffian A saw this as his time to shine. Giving a shout to his falling ally before he would fall unconscious, the Hylian ran forth, jumping to reach out towards the Oocca's now outstretched hands. The two connected, and despite his agony, Ruffian C channeled it all into forcing his companion into the skies. Like a duo of acrobats, Ruffian A was using the oocca as a boost and as a stepping stone, now airborne as he flew towards the Fairy, exhaling a brief and rather silly battlecry as he attempted to kick the Fairy out of the skies as well, throwing his leg to her side, then quickly twisting his body around completely (making himself face downwards at that) to follow up with his other leg raining down from above to project her downwards to the ground. In the meantime, the moment poor Ruffian C had thrown his ally, he crashed roughly into the ground, instantly knocking himself out. Ruffian C took a direct hit by Aya's fireball, but as he fell, he and Ruffian A teamed up, the oocca quickly throwing the hylian skywards. Using the projectiled motion, Ruffian A now soars towards Ayameru, in hopes of also kicking her out of the sky.

It was a direct hit, and the oocca went down in a blazing glory! Scarlet eyes flickered brightly with satisfaction watching the feathered foe's descent. Unfortunately, Aya's satisfaction didn't last long when she watched as something went down. While Ruffian C was taken down, Ruffian A was hauled up, airborne coming straight at her.

"Hey batter-batter-batter-batter!" she chanted a few times. Her words sounded so close together that it sounded rather close to the the sound effects used for machine guns. She readied her sword in a batter's position as her wings batted violently within the air. "Heeeeey batter-batter-batter-batter! SWING!!" she cried out. Her blade swinging at full force at a downward diagonal motion cutting the Hylian down before he could manage to take her down. "Better make it to home base or the umpire will take you out~"

Grabbing onto the Ruffian A before his foot could land on her, he insisted in bringing her down, so she must happily oblige to his request. Only she wasn't going down alone. Leveraging herself the best she could, she nosedived with her feet first pressed against the ruffian's chest as they plummeted down to the rest of the group.

"We're going down, down in an earlier round; and Sugar, we're going down swinging~!" she sang as they came crashing down. Her scarlet hair flowing up as the gravitational pull sent them descending, where she awaited a satisfying crash into those who waited below.

Waitaminute... where's Jakku?

Summary. Intercepted the assault by swinging her sword like a baseball bat into the incoming Ruffian A. Grabbed onto him, and attempted to use him as a shock absorber for the impact going down straight into any of the other bandits who dwelt on the ground.

Fireball Cooldown. 2/3

Cure. 2/2

The trio seemed occupied with their own little 'status check' as they turned from the corpse, also debating on whether to join in on the fight with the fairy, who was now crashing a fellow ruffian into the ground. What they did not notice, however, was that the Goron had a phoenix fire, the very phoenix fire that the villagers had given him, and action was instant. Before they would see this, Jakku would be revived, in perfect condition, and as good as new. Wolfos A, Wolfos B, and Ruffian D are simply observing side by side for the moment, oblivious to Jakku's revival behind them. The Hylian had little time to react, or perhaps none at all. As it had with the wolfos, the plan appeared to fail, but Ruffian A reangled himself as best as he could, yet still taking a rather cringeworthy gash running from his shoulder down his torso. He growled vehemently, but was unable to do much else as the Fairy had him locked in place, and they were now growing rapidly closer to the floor, where he would make a mental note, for if he managed to make it out alive: Don't hang around with people that live in stone fortresses. Even a forest would have been better. random event! Badda-bing, badda-boom, suddenly, amidst the chaos, a golden cucco has seemingly appeared in a corner of the room (probably having wandered from who knows where), mindlessly clucking as it pecked alongside one wall of the fortress. Apparently the first and only to have taken notice, Wolfos B straightens with a jolt, a hungry eye upon the feathered, shining creature. Meanwhile, Ruffian B saw what was transpired, but he was not nearly as brave as his comrades. Clearly, they were losing, and clearly, he would not make a difference. Really! It was shameful if you asked him, like trying to dance with two left feet! That was his thinking, and his mind was telling him to haul ass, but his feet were planted. Before he even had time to force himself to do something, there came The Hylian and Fairy duo, crashing into the ground, and even Ruffian B in the process. Wonderful. Having taken the brunt and weight of two bodies, the utterly useless Ruffian B was knocked into the ground as a pillow, unconscious. Perhaps his last thought had been the same as his fellow Ruffian A, whom decided it would be best to follow in suit and pretend to have been knocked out, to at least give him a small bit of strategy time. Not that they had been strategic in the first place. Ruffian A took a blade to the shoulder, and was seismic tossed into the ground. Ruffian B also faced the impending crash, and from being weak having to play the pillow, went unconscious on the moment of impact. Ruffian A, down, but certainly not yet out, decided to play dead for the time being.

[jakku]

Jakku slowly opened his eyes and was staring straight up at the sky. He rubbed his stomach where the bandit had stabbed him and noticed that there was no markings whatsoever. He was confused at first but remembered about the item that was given to him by the villagers beforehand. It looked as though he had made use of it after all. Too bad it was so early in the game. No matter Jakku wouldn't be caught off guard like that again.

Jakku turned around and saw the three culprits that were responsible for almost ending his life. They made the mistake of not checking to see if Jakku was still dead. Jakku walked up to the three of them being extra sneaky before clearing his throat and lightly tapping the bandit on his shoulder.
"Hello again-goro."
Before the three of them had time to turn around and see who was there, Jakku grabbed the two White Wolfos by their necks squeezing as hard as he could before smashing their heads against the sides of the bandits face. He finally released his grip after squeezing enough to rupture their windpipe, pulled his fist back, and swung forward as hard as he could right into the bandits face.
[Actions - Choked Wolfos A/B, Slammed Wolfos A/B into Ruffian then punched Ruffian D in the face]

[Ayameru]

"Whoa... there he is," she gulped. Gorons were not the type of people you wanted to tick off, and Aya got a good look at that when she noticed Jakku get back up. He made his foes look like mince meat after dealing with them altogether like that. He was such a good sport~! She was quite disappointed though as she was tempted to take out the Wolfos who was aiming straight for the Golden Cucco, but it would look like she had to give that one up. Fear the mighty rockman!

"Hmm..." she pondered looking down on over to the two cronies she apparently took out. Were they really out for the count or were they pretending? A wicked grin escaped from her lips as she approached Ruffian A. Only one true way to find out~ With one foot supporting most of her weight, her free leg leaned backwards a moment, before pushing forward for a violent kick between the knees, below the belt. If he wasn't knocked out now then this should put him out cold now.

Yeah~ Aya was that immature to pull a low blow.

Summary. Made her to have taken out the rest of the brutes that gave her trouble. Pulled a low blow~

Fireball Cooldown. 3/3

Too occupied with thoughts of injuries and the cucco lurking in the corner, they had been caught unawares, and easily overtaken. Ruffian D, spun on his heels in a great panic at the goron tapping his shoulder, but before he could respond, the forces came at his head from both sides, and he stood, seeing stars and cuccos, until the goron's fist made a direct connection, and all three dropped like bricks in the sea. Wolfos A, Wolfos B, and Ruffian D have been K.O.'d! Unable to restrain himself, an astounding wail came from Ruffian A, a sound that which no man was supposed to make, and he cursed and rolled himself over and over in pain. "What the hell kind of move was that!?" The Hylian came to wild life (or rather, was well alive and kicking even before his screeching) with a start, trying to gather his bearings back together and stand to fight, but he could not, writhing on the ground. With that failing, he frantically dug into his coat, swiftly pulling out a pistol, and blindly aimed towards the girl, firing two shots at random. It was in his moment of horror that his eyes, though tearing up, caught sight of something familiar, yet unknown. That bird! Suddenly, his train of thoughts took a U-turn, and Ruffian A swerved the arm holding the pistol towards the glittering cucco in the corner, intent on killing the bird perhaps more than the fairy girl, firing three more, for in his pain he knew he would not be as accurate as he hoped. His intentions were unknown. Was it because he didn't want them to steal it? Or something more? Having emptied the chambers, he threw the gun aside, and would once again attempt to scramble to his feet, whilst the girl would hopefully be preoccupied. Ruffian A took a direct hit, is kind of thrashing around in a great panic, fired two bullets at Ayameru, and then three at the Golden Cucco.
