Part 3: The City of Crime

[Dracos]

"Heh, messanger boys... " He snorted derisively.  He opened the letter, reading it and leaning back.  Slowly he started to laugh.  "You guys are kiddin' right?"

Dracos

[Dexie Oblivion]

"Do we look like we're kidding?" Darx rests his hand on his sword hilt, slowly letting his wings open.

[Dracos]

The man raised an eyebrow.  "A sword?  Hmm, and wings too... probably pretty dangerous.  But do you really think you can take on a whole camp of us?"  He was pretty cool watching.

Ryda sighed and lowered her hand to her gun...

"I have a feeling that the message is not very good..."

[Dexie Oblivion]

A laugh.

"I might not be able to take out all of you....but that's what my friends here are for."

[Olvelsper]

"No. Back off you two." Jan ordered to the two twitchy fighters. "We don't have any problems with them." He nodded at the man. "Now that we delivered that message for them, we'll be out of your hair now."

[Dexie Oblivion]

Darx flutters his wings again.

"Fine.....but I'm covering our rear as we get out of here."

[Olvelsper]

"Have a good day, sir." Jan gave a slight nod to Darx, even as he concealed the action by holding a hand up in salute to the head nomad as they pulled back. The negotiator kept an eye open as well in case of trickery.

[Dracos]

The man gestured as they moved to leave.  Darx spotting someone following them outside the tent, drawing another of those explosive guns.

[Dexie Oblivion]

Darx hisses just low enough for the party to hear...

"We're being followed by one guy......and I don't think he'll be the only one.  I say we take them by surprise and quickly hit them, catch them off-guard, then make a break for it afterwards."

[Dracos]

Olguin:
"Leets, go behind that tent their leader is at. If they start sending more of them after us, use the gas tank you have and the matches in your supply pack. It'll cause a small bang that'll draw their attention, then Ryder, Cylde, and I can shoot them while you get out. Don't do it unless they send more men. Or if they look like they're about to shoot." Jan whispered to the youth.

[Shukuen]

Leets nodded and snuck around to the back of the tent they exited, making sure to keep the party in sight. "Sure hope there's some truth to my supposed trick," he muttered softly to himself.

[Dracos]

The guy lined up Ryda in his sights as Leets moved, preparing to take her out.

Dracos

[Shukuen]

Leets set the gas tank behind the tent and, using a torn bandage as a fuse. He quietly lit the makeshift bomb and quickly slipped away from the upcoming explosion.

[Dracos]

A few things happened at once.

The explosion went off from leets bomb, gathering attention and more importantly, throwing off the gunners aim, so Ryder only took a bullet through the shoulder instead of through the head.

The tent they came out on caught on fire as the folks inside started rushing out.
