Quest: Bandit trouble

[Bandits]

The raws of the crowd thundered through the vast stadium as many vicious balverines swiped their sharp claws into the young contestants hardened armour.

'I can take 'em!' yelled a burly rogue bandit as he leaped out of the stands and into the Arena sands with his sharp blood stained sword gleaming in the moonlight.
'Gooo Derick!' shouted his friends laughing at the site of a random bandit appearing on top of a furious balverine.

'Wait we can't let him have all the fun, lets go and help' said one young rogue bandit feeling left out. The remaining bandits jumped into the fierce battle below and started attacking the balverines and also the contestant with all their might.

The commentator swore loudly as a knife came swinging past him from one of the bandits down below.
'Where the hell is security!?' he shouted through the thumping noise of the crowds anger.

[Griff Trevin]

Griff was sitting up in the stands with Glenroy watching the action when the bandits jumped down into the sands and started attacking the contestants and balverines.
Griff contemplated on letting the events unfold but there was a young contestant who could be harmed in the process and that was not what he wanted to see.

"I say its time to jump into action, what do you think? I'll let you decide the plan of attack, to prove your worth as a bandit." Griff said

[Griff Trevin]

"Nervous are ya? Fine I'll lead" Griff said jumping down into the sands.
He ran at one young bandit cheering on the others that were fighting. Griff walked up behind him and grabbed him around the neck and with one swift motion, he broke the bandits neck and dropped him to the ground.

"You guys aren't supposed to be here, I'm here to get you out. You can leave peacefully, or I'll drag you out with your guts on the arena floor"

[oberon]

Oberon walked into the Arena stadium to see his fellow bandit jump into the ring. He needed to prove himself worthy of being a bandit since Oberon missed out on the raid.

"I will gladly help Griff he if you don't leave." The bandit strung his Yew Bow and fired two arrows. One flew into the chest of a bandit fighting a Balverine and the other struck the burl one in the thigh. Oberon pulled out his Iron Katana a jumped into the pit.
"Hey mate."

[Griff Trevin]

"Hey Oberon! Long time no see. Glad to see your here to help" Griff said happily, giving him a high five.

The two bandit's stood side by side with their swords out, waiting for the others t make their move.
"We have to be careful, these balverine's could attack us too if we're not"

[Bandits]

The crowd cheered as they saw new 'contestants' entering the Arena sands, this was double their moneys worth in their eyes.

'Haha, Hawk's bandits. What the hell are you doing here?' asked a slim rogue bandit whilst stabbing a balverine in the chest.
Two rogue bandits rushed at Griff whilst an out of breath balverine lunged at Oberon with saliva drooling down its sharp teeth.

[Griff Trevin]

Griff readied himself as he saw them approach. They got closer and Griff waited until the last moment to spin out of the way. As he did he swung his sword and managed to just cut one of them on the leg.
"Damn, I was hoping to slice it off" Griff thought to himself

They turned around to face Griff again, one bandit favoring his leg now.
Griff readied his lightning spell, charging it up as powerful as he could. He ran at the bandits and launched the spell ahead of himself, aimed straight at the bandit with the bad leg.

[Glenroy Steelforge]

Glenroy, who had been standing still on account of his pounding head from the picnic now leapt into the fray. One bandit ran towards him brandishing a wicked scimitar. Glenroy ducked under his swipe and cut through his waist. Seeing another he ran towards him.

[Griff Trevin]

The lightning spell blasted the bandit off his feet and he fell back dead on the ground. Griff continued running straight at the other bandit with his sword readied.
He dodeged the bandits attack and knocked the sword out of his hand. Immediately the bandit put his hands in the air and surrendered.
"Go on then, get out of here and don't come back" Griff ordered.

[oberon]

Oberon was fighting the burly bandit. He swung his katana at the bandits head. He ducked and went to kick Oberon. The bandit dodge and punched the oaf in the nose making him bleed. As he ran away with the other bandits. Oberon shot and arrow hitting Derrick in the back in the head. The deranged assassin laughed and walked back beside Griff and Glenroy.

[Griff Trevin]

"YEAH THATS RIGHT! COME BACK AND WE'LL KILL ALL OF YOU!" Griff yelled at the fleeing bandits.
He picked up a rock and through it at one of the lone bandits running off. The rock sailed through the air and found its mark in the back of the bandits head, knocking him to the ground. The last balverine in the arena pounced on the bandits limp body and carried him off to the cages to feast on.
"Yeah, take the your smart*** mother******!" Griff shouted through the laughter
He turned to Oberon and Glenroy and shook their hands
"Good job guys, quest completed. I'll meet you back at camp"

He raised his fist in the air and the crowd went crazy, cheering and applauding the trio's performance.

BEST SHOW EVER!
More, give us more!

[Glenroy Steelforge]

Glenroy basking in the glory heard the crowd. Walking to his left he pulled a lever and released 3 balverines. "They want more. Let's not dissapoint them." He said running forward with sword in hands.

[Griff Trevin]

"Yeah! Let's do this" Griff said enthusiastically
He ran at the balverines along with Glenroy ready to attack them

[Glenroy Steelforge]

Glenroy ran towards a balverine with his sword. As the balverine dodged Glenroy pulled a crossbow bolt from his quiver and jammed it through the balverine's eye into it's brain. "These guys are bad fighters" he said and watched the other 2 with ther opponents.

[oberon]

Oberon was about to leave when he heard the lever crank. A sly grin covered his face. Balverines were brought in. Back when he lived in the Witchwoods Balverines attacked his home all the time. He and his father had to fight them. With a flash he had pulled out multiple arrows and shot them at a Balverine. Oberon then ran over and sliced its head off.

[Griff Trevin]

Griff was toying with the balverine that had ran towards him, dodging every swipe as he saw them come.
"These guys are alot slower than the ones that we fought in the cave. Must be because they live in captivity till they die" Griff said dodging another swipe.
He took his dagger out and stabbed the balverine in the chest, twisting it and pushing it deeper. It let out a high pitched howl as he kept twisting it. He pulled it out and the balverine dropped to the ground, twitching and grunting.
"I suppose I should put it out of it's misery" he said cleaning off his dagger.
He pulled out his sword and stood over the balverine. Raising the blade high, the crowd cheered and screamed for the finishing blow. In a flash the blade came down, connecting with flesh and severing its head from the rest of its body.
The three men stood side by side and raised their hands in the air as the crowd cheered and screamed.

[Glenroy Steelforge]

"I'll tell Hawk" said Glenroy. "Maybe this will get me closer to him."
