OOC - i am making the band a group of 5 everybody fine with that?

Stars and stones thinks faisal, i have no weapon on me and Xandax is alone against this bunch.
Xandax can take care of the dwarf but i need to help in some way.

Grabing a chair, faisal smashes it on the back of one of the men and dashes off back to his room looking for his weapons.
The man just hits the floor hard but is up just as quickly, signalling to one of the others to follow and takes off after faisal.

Taking the steps 3 at a time faisal enters his room on the second floor and quickly grabs the sword and sheild and pivots on his foot to leave the room.
However the men where much faster than faisal thought as one was standing the in the door way and the other just out side.

Faisal without think slash's at the man in front forcing him out of the room.

*My survival depends on keeping them out of the room and making sure that i can take the on one on one.* thinks Faisal

"Kid ye will pay for attacking me, pay wit' yer blood".
" I don't want a fight, can't we just forget it every happened" asks faisal
"We will forget about it after we bury you" says the other.
With that the one hit with the chair attempts to enter the room.
Dual weilding a mace and short sword, the man slashs with is sword low and brings his mace up high, thinking that faisal will use his shield to block the sword leaving him low and unbalanced position. Then he could bring a crushing blow to the back of faisal's face with is mace.

Faisal saw this and quickly side stepped the sword, brought up his shield to meet the mace, and slashed with is sword through the exposed chest of the brigand.

*Pathetic thinks faisal, that was such a basic form of fighting.
Well atleast the mandatory military training in Calim****e paid off finally.*

The other one seeing the death of his comrade decides to not take a chance and runs off.

Full of youthful foolishness and inexperience Faisal follows him out the door and around the corner, where the man is waiting for him.

*stupid, stupid, stupid!* flash rapidily in faisals mind.

However the man does not attack.
He waits for Faisal to regain his wits and then says:
"I don't tend to fight you at a disadvantage, if we fight we fight prepared for it"

*this guy has some honor thinks faisal*

"How about forgetting the whole thing?"

"Not after you killed my friend, get ready to defend your...."

He didn't finish his sentence as 2 drucken men decide to jump him.
And then 2 others join in the fight saying 2 on 1 isn't fair!

*Well that takes care of him* thinks faisal.

A thought pops into Faisal's mind, * So close to death twice in one day, i better start thinking about which god i should pay homage to.*

Faisal smiling at his good fortune speeds down to see what Xandax is up too.
