Chapter 2
As they journeyed deeper through the ruins of Borgo Ridge, the group encountered a remaining cell of Bazba's Bandits. Skyler hacked through a section of them easily enough. As soon as this was done, Mark blocked the entrance way taking all the hits the bandit's could get in. Lloyd stood behind him and fired off round after round of dark magic wisps.
Suddenly a bandit broke through a wall. Stefan moved quickly to block the incoming attackers. Isabell took up a spot behind Stefan and picked off any bandits she could to help Stefan not take as much damage. While the others did all this, Tissa showed Skyler a secret passageway, as he entered he saw a vase filled with gold coins on the other side of the room. Skyler began to walk forward, when he heard Tissa drop to the floor. He turned back and saw a bandit standing over her body with a bloody axe.
Skyler drew his blade, "You know what? You picked the wrong person to attack buddy."
The bandit chuckled, "I'm Bargo the heir to Bazba's bandits. And right now You're invading my turf! Prepare to die!"
Skyler clashed his sword against Bargo's axe. Bargo swung his axe immediately after cutting Skyler's offhand. Bargo smirked with confidence. Skyler threw his blade up high; he ducked under a wild swing from Bargo, leapt up grabbed his sword and brought it down, cracking Bargo's skull. Bargo fell to the ground in a bloody heap and he gave one last shake before he stopped moving.
Skyler rushed to Tissa's body and saw that he had simply knocked her over and his axe had only been from a slight cut on her ankle. She came to soon after. Skyler steeled himself as he walked back through the passageway to help his friends and new comrades fight off the bandits.
As He came back to the place where they had been fighting he didn't see where they had gone, but the corridor they had once held was now empty. Skyler walked cautiously around the corner his sword over his shoulder should a bandit try to rush him. When he turned the corner he found them standing around mocking the bodies of the bandits and taking vulneraries from them. Skyler sheathed his sword in relief, "What you guys didn't even leave one of them for me?"
Lloyd spoke up, "You're a bit late for that. Where were you in all this action?"
"I fought their leader who was guarding the treasure Tissa was talking about." Skyler replied.
Mark then said, "You missed my bandit-ke-bob, I skewered three of them at once, then Lloyd roasted 'em. Was great fun."
Skyler laughed, "Nice one," High-fiving Mark and Lloyd, "And how did you and Stefan fare Isabell?"
Isabell looked up and said, "Stefan did most of the work, I was almost completely useless." Stefan stood in the corner cleaning his axe of the blood it had collected.
Skyler and the group collected in the treasure room, lifting as much loot as they could as they made their way back to their cart. Skyler then said, "Well time to get going. We need to get to a more major city to set up shop, and sell off some of this loot."
A cheer rose up from Stefan Mark and Lloyd. They all climbed onto the cart, Isabell joined them as per the terms of her agreement form earlier. Stefan looked down at Tissa, "Would you like to come with us? Never hurts to have another along with us."
She smiled, "I'll be happy to come along
