[Mineal Shade]

Even as Mineal took to his scimitar he could see that his missile had flown true. The man's war cry had turned to a more humorous sound thanks to the metal and wood now firmly lodged in his throat. But sadly a thwack through the windpipe did not stop the bearded man from charging. Mineal took the first blow of the axe relatively well until he was lifted off his feet. The mosat hurriedly freed himself of his weapon and landed spryly as the bearded man turned to finish him off.

The man jerked and stiffened as the second Ranger stabbed him in the back. that slight hesistaton allowed for Mineal to pull out his last weapon, the most important and most trusted of the Ranger, his knife. He left the twice injured axeman to Wraith and turned his attention to the swordsman now closing. It looked as if the two bandits were trying to tag team the smaller Ranger before turning their attentions to the elf. A decision that proved to be fatal for two of them at least.

Bandit's with weapons raised to kill Mineal closed in on him from either side. Jauron had proved himself capable already and the mosat felt easily enough in leaving the axeman to the elf's devices. Mineal rushed towards the sword wielding bandit and tried to throw all his weight into a punch with the spiked knuckleguard of his knife at the bandit's already injured knee. Despite his instincts Mineal was attempting to keep at least one of the bandits alive to get some information about what was going on.
