   Etienne wheeled around at the noise of the explosion. Bombs was what went through his mind first. But it was not loud enough for that. It had probably been caused by Slarmanians. They always seemed to bring explosions with them.
   The elder rested against his pole, listening for anything else that could mean that it was time to hide. Slarmanians, after all, were always bad news, and Etienne had had more than one close call with them.
   But there was no follow-up, and so Etienne continued on towards the tenement.

   Luke:in my post as you came OUT, I said I raised my dagger up to your throat. And I assumed if you could have seen the Khan and Gamis, you would have had to have come out of a door that was close enough for Gamis to do that. You didnt say anything against Gamis putting the dagger up, so I thought you had accepted it. You posted this for you exit: "gathered some of the jam up and walked outside, and stumbled upon a woman and the wiry man." Since you walked outside and stumbled onto us both, I gathered that was from a close enough exit - you never mentioned exactly which exit you went from.
   
   I leave this OOC post separate, so it can be deleted when its all worked out :P

   Mouse stamped her foot. This wasn't fair! The strange people were finally leaving, when some mean person knocked down a peice of the wall. It came down right on where she slept to, and probably some of her things were buried under it. And now, the man who had stayed inside knew she was there. Well, she couldn't fix it now, and she couldn't make the mean people go away. When mean people showed up, it was time for Mouse to move on. The strange man was mad at someone. Was he mad at Mouse? No, he was probably mad at the mean people. But he had yelled before the mean people broke her house... Never mind. The strange man was asking her to go with him. Why not? Her house was broken, and she couldn't stay here. If the strange man didn't like Mouse, she could run very fast.

   OOC: But you didn't have a dagger against my neck man you threantened you would: "he would find that ornamental dagger swung up, pressed against the skin of his neck." You never actualy made the move of launching at me with the dagger.
   
   
   Luke had forgoten the man with the dagger had pressed it against his neck now he felt warmth flow across his neck, he could still breath and blood didn't spout. The blade had cut up under his jaw bone and deflected off. Luke swung the rifle around like a club at the man's feet and did a sort of back sumersault on his back onto his feet behind the knife wielder.

   lol oooh, ok, you mis-interperated that, sorry. What I meant by that sentence was: The second Luedast exits, he finds the dagger pressed against his neck. I put the 'would' in there to give room for you to counter it in some way - to move back, or something of the like :P

   OOC: One Archer is on a building top, flat roof, with about a foot of wall extending above the top of the roof. The other is on a rusted fire escape, hiding behind the solid panels of the steps. If you are shooting at them, I'm beside you, taking a swing with a big ol sword at your back.

   Gabriel took the girl by her hand and led her to the back of the small store.
   
   Damn...I hope they havn't surrounded the building...I'll have to check before I lead her out.
   
   "Wait here, I'm going to make sure it's safe." Gabriel instructed as he made is way out the back door as cautious as he could be. He looked around, no one was back there. And he was almost certain there weren't any hidden people. Taking one final glance around, Gabriel head back in to get the girl.
   
   "Come, I'll lead you away from these bad men." Gabriel said as he once again offered his hand, not wanting to scare the girl in any way.
   
   One the front side of the building, no one was moving, so the soldiers of the Slarmanians shouted again, telling them all to lay down their weapons and surrender, but this time giving a count of 15 seconds.

   Luedast felt the sword whoosh over his head as he rolled under it. A loud sot echoed from up the street, "Damn Slarmanians, listen lets stop this fight, we can solve our problem later but it's no use if were dead or worse." Asking the Khan and the knife wielder, he certainly wouldn't want to leave his back open to these two anyday but he would definately take them as opposed to Slamarians.

    The woman's response is silence, even as she levels a half hearted kick at Luedast, before she steps well out of reach, to stare at the closest one of these 'soldiers', the apparent leader, the shouter. The madness is powerful in her eyes, as she glares at him, a dare to come down and try to match her in hand to hand. Hey eyes are clear, and disturbingly confident, even egotistical. She, at least, knows that she is perfect, undefeatable.
    
    A dozen calculations fly through her mind, even as the saber is slowly sheathed. It's agonizing moments before she drops it as well, her blade clattering to the floor with a twist of her wrist and flick of her hand. She can't defend herself at range with it, and if it comes to it, her hands are likely just as deadly.
    
    Meanwhile, those still outside the arc of easy vision from the rooftops begin to fall back, as silently as possible, obeying that twisting hand. Ambush later is the better choice, for her and her clan. If nothing else, she's visibly healthy, and, despite what is to here, a rather exotic complexion, relatively attractive... That might be enough to keep her alive for a time. "This is quite impossible, Sharp Eyes. Don't die, and distance yourself." The final part is almost hissed, as she says, "And don't close those eyes!"

    Gamis, still in the darkness shrouding the window he was peering in, simply slinked further into said shadows. Names meant little to him, and 'Slamarian' was just another name. He did not need the Khans advice to tell him to distance himself, and, counting on the fact he had not yet been seen, he pulled himself behind a sheet of rusted, corrugated iron which was leaning idly against one of the walls. Instead of fleeing, however, he simply waited and watched. This woman intrigued him, perhaps as much as the man had intrigued him earlier. Perhaps he could find a way to aid in her escape. After all, he could always kill her later if she prooved boring for him.

    OOC: Damnit! They were firing at YOU!!! Who else was outside!? And Do NOT jump ahead 30 minutes when your being ATTACKED!! And if you do something like that, elaborate a little more than 'they' came at me, I shot and ran...who are they? Are they continuing the Chase? Why are they after you? Damnit! Don't pull that crap, I'll let it slide this time, but either stop that crap or don't be in this rp.

    After a while of sitting on the front steps of his home, wheezing, Etienne cocked an ear. Thank goodness for scavenged hearing aid batteries. The sounds of the battle seemed to have stopped. So, taking his PVC staff in hand, he rose awkwardly to his feet and began to tramp in that direction. Perhaps he could find something useful in the leftovers of the battle.
