Magpie shot a flame into the back of the Balverine, it let out a howl and rolled onto the floor, and burnt to death. Magpie quickly removed the head, and threw it to Griff.

Griff caught it and placed it in his backpack. They smelt terrible. "Lets keep moving then, these things stink " Griff said

"Thats two down." Oberon looked at the Hobbes with a puzzled look. "I am guessing that since we killed two white balverines plus the other brown ones more will come." he turned to Magpie with a hand stuck out. "Oberon Grissom."

Magpie halted the attack of his comrades. "These Hobbes aren't our enemies." He said to them, as the Hobbes scuffled around searching for things. Magpie turned to the new recruit, he turned to Magpie with a hand stuck out. "Oberon Grissom." He said. Magpie shook the mans hand. "Just call me Magpie seen as I forgot my real name." He said grinning.

"It's good to have a new bandit around isn't it Magpie?" Griff said Griff was keen to get this quest over with, he had other plans that he wished to persue. "Come on. Lets keep moving, I really want to get this over with" He said walking around the large eroom they were in. They had travelled deep into the balverine's lair and Griff was wondering how deep it went. There was no other exits to this room except one which led in to a large circular room. Upon entering it Griff noticed alot of passages in the roof, but none on the floor level. They could go no deeper, and this was where their final confontation would be. "Magpie, look up there" Griff said pointing to the roof. "This must be how they get around the cave, that would explain why we haven't seen any on floor level, they seem to appear from nowhere but they are really coming from the roof passages. I guess they know we're here, so lets just wait" Griff said

Oberon nodded at Magpie when he told him his name. As they walked deeper into the cave, they reached a circular room; the only passages besides what was behind them were in the waves and above floor level. "Well, now we wait." He pulled out a long pipe and stuff some tobacco into it. Oberon pulled a match out and lit it.
During the waiting period, he made circles of smoke. Really he was hoping that the smoke would draw attention to the White Balverines and bring them to their death.

The balverines waited as they stared down at the two intruders.
Smelling the sudden stench of smoke all of the balverines jumped down into the circular room at once, claws at the ready. Forty white balverines surrounded the the two bandits and leaped onto them. Several balverines at the back who could not touch them started to attack each other for the thirst of killing.

Griff was underneath a pile of white balverines, all stuglling against eachother to get a bite of flesh. Looking up at them he noticed some of them were biting into the back of eachother, fighting over him. Griff looked around and saw Magpie under them as well with the same problem. They were trying to attack them but were fighting over who got to eat them. Griff slid his hand down his leg and reached for his dagger. Clearly there was not enough room to swing a sword, and his dagger would have to suffice. Getting a grip on it, he pulled it out and began thrusting it in the sides of the balverine that was pinning him down. It began howling wildly and fell limply on top of Griff. He slid it off himself with great effort only to be restrained again. "OBERON!!! HELP US!!" He screamed

Oberon looked around for a sharp object. There was no room for him to start shooting arrows. He spotted a Hobbe wielding two long knives. He smiled and snatched them away. In quick motions he started slashing at the White Balverines.
Oberon missed killing things. When ever he spotted a dead Balverine he would cut the heads off. "I am doing the best I can mate!" His hands caught on fire as he started to throw fire balls.
"Magpie, do you know any spells like Force Push?" A white Balverine charged at him with its claws aiming for his neck. Oberon pulled out and arrow and shoved it into the beast's throat.

Griff managed to break free, recieving a few cuts on his arms from where he was being held down. He grasped his katana as hard as he could and swung at a white balverine, lopping it's head straight off its shoulders. He lept in the air, catching the head and thrusting his sword downward into the head of another balverine. Landing on the ground he pushed the balverine off his sword and gathered himself. All the balverines had regrouped now, directly opposite Griff, Oberon and Magpie (who was getting up and dusting himself off). There were 20 white balverines left due to the fact that alot of them killed eachother in the craziness of the ambush. "Twenty on three. Looks like the odds are in our favor guys. Lets finish this now" Griff said

The balverines stood in front of the three bandits with drool slowly dripping down there sharp teeth. The white balverines suddenly started to retreat back into there cave as they heard a loud howling noise.
A huge white balverine walked forwards slowly. It was different to the others, more powerful and had a black stripe running down its fury back. The remaining balverines ran away in fright.
This newcomer did not attack but stood in the centre watching all three bandits, waiting for them to make the first move.

Oberon pulled out an arrow slowly and set up his bow. This White Balverine was huge and odd looking. "Hey, after we kill this one lets cut some heads off the dead corpses and its own then get the hell out of here. I'm sure those bloody beast will come back soon."

The balverine gave out a high pitched howl knowing that it could be fed today and began walking slowly towards the bandits baring it's blood stained teeth.

"Ok Oberon, I agree. Now lets watch eachothers backs and stay focused. We can kill this thing." Griff said, trying to be motivational. He ran at the beast slashing it across the chest twice and jumped away before it had a chance to hit him. It seemed that Griff's attack hurt it, but it would take alot more to fall this beast.

Oberon's arrow flew at the large Balverine's heart. He shot arrow after arrow hoping to hit the beast's heart. "Skorm, I wish someone had a Silver Augument." Oberon threw one of the knives from the Hobbes at the Balverine. The small blade had stuck him in his left arm.

Then there was a loud crash, then an large, silver entity came crashing to the ground next to Magpie and Oberon. It was Leonhardt. He stood up and brushed himself off.
"Ah, Oberon, I have your Iron Long Katana." He said as he unsheathed the elegant weapon. "I was going to have it sent to the Bandit Camp, but you werent there, so I decided to deliver it personally. Looks like I came just in time." He said, looking at all the Balverines around him, and unsheathing his own Noblesse Oblige. "Mind if I help?" Said Leo as he thrust his enourmus blade through the chest of a Balverine, then swing his blade upwards, splitting the beast in two, and knocking off it's head. The Silver of his blade shimmering in the dim light.

More Balverines poured out of the cave howling. Two more white ones came along with the original white one. They lunged at the humans, blood thirsty.
One of them tackled a man with a huge sword, another one got to the one with the bow. Another also hit the mage and the other human.

Leo clenched his Silver gloved fist, and punched the Balverine hard in the face and sent it reeling back wards into a wall. Leo stood up and slashed through the beast's neck, lopping off it's head. He then turned to see another Balverine lunging toward his torso, which he promptly blocked with the broad side of his sword. The creature back-flipped off the giant silver wall of a sword and reached around and began to slash at Leo. He weaved through the creature's strikes, then reached out and clutched it's maingy neck with his Silver glove. He then threw the creature over into the darkness.

Griff struggled to get up off the ground, realizing that this was a fruitless fight. There were just too many of them. Unsure of how many balverine heads he had in his backpack he darted around, using his agility to his advantage, and proceeded to cut off six heads and stuffed them into his backpack, which was now rediculously full. "Come on! We've got what we needed, lets make our way to the exit, there is no point trying to kill them all" Griff said Magpie ran toward the exit through the passageways along with Griff, hoping that the others were following.

Leo, following the Oberon, Magpie and Griff, dashed towars the opening of the cave. As they reached the exit, Leo turned to see his pursuers. hundreds upon hundreds of Balverines were all clamoring to get out of the cave, and sink their fangs into the humans.
"You guys go ahead." Said Leo. "I'll make sure they dont follow us." He raised his gigantic blade, glinting in the moonlight, and leapt forward and landed a Flourish right on top of the entrance to the cave. He lept back, to avoid the falling debris. The cave was collapsing, at least, the entrance was. Seeing this, the Lead White balverine leapt forward in an attempt to escape, but was caught beneath the falling earth and stone. Only it's upper body and left arm stuck out from the remains of the cave entrance, snapping it's jaws and wildly slashing it's claws in desperation. Leo calmly walked up to the beast, and severed it's head with his blade.
"And one for the road." He said as he tossed it at Griff.
