Leaning into the bend of the bridge's sway, the unnamed swordsman did not faulter. Even with the muted thud of a painted player hitting the telath behind he remained unmoved. Jade Alanon knocked her targeted opponent down with one blow, watching the girl crumple like a doll before the three others turned to face her brutal opening assault. Watching from a distance, these events seemed to break the pale faced axeman's momentum as his long white wig trailed into the wind's breath. The stoic kemite warrior only blinked in silence.. without even turning a shoulder to assist. He felt a light tremor, then all involved felt a strongly violent one that almost twisted the length of the wooden bridge completely horizontal. Still the lonewolf remained, undetered even by gravity.
This uneasy earthquake gave Alanon just enough time to make a return swing of the staff breaking the jaw of an actor brigand so hard that his fake trailing mustache blew into the canyon as attrition. With the backswing leaving the right shoulderblade of the half-elf vulnerable, a fiendish figure masked as a long nosed tengu arched a spiked chainwhip round his attacker's lower right calve muscle with a cry. The two others were lost rushing headlong the calming expanse of the dangling bridge searching for trouble. With only a single flick of the right wrist, the first eager player was left with a final soliloquy while holding his guts in hand. A second strike from a sword left him holding his head too.
Suddenly a thunderous bellow from the dark canyon below lifted the bridge so high that the whiplash almost snapped it on both ends. Holding on for dear life, the second rushing bandit gripped the rope handle with screams of sheer unintelligible terror. The swordsman only stayed the course.. looking back at the shrine with a venomous glare.
"What are you hiding Shoban.. More then prayers have fed your god... I will burn your temple to the ground as I have your brothers under the Garden.. come to me faithful one, let me bestow upon you the fate long sealed and longer awaited."
Bleeding from the eyes like tears, the red clad bandit's fresh grin held the depths of insanity. He lifted his arms to the heavens like a wild demon..
"RRIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "
The world errupted at every seam with a rumbling deep enough to shake the very suns from the sky. Jade Alanon felt severe pain dig into her chest like an invisible talon..
Dear gods what had the power to crush her without even a touching glance...
