Rairc sighed in annoyance and ran a hand through his dark brown hair, brown eyes surveying the two men standing before him. How had his day taken such an odd turn. He had just been walking along, minding his own business. And now here he was, a body at his feet and his sword dripping blood with a woman laying huddled on the ground behind him. "Should have just passed on by.", he muttered to himself, "But no, instead I decided to play the roll of white knight. Oh joy." He cast a quick look at the two men before him. They were both filthy, covered in dirt and smelling like shit. The road here was took a sharp turn, a good spot to ambush travelers. Which is exactly what he assumed had happened. The trees to both sides of the well beaten dirt road were thick, perfect for hiding in.
"Look, guys, just go on your way. I'm not in the killing mood today." he said, motioning for them to leave. "Like hell. You killed our buddy. Leave the woman to us and go and we'll let you get away." one of them growled. "Well, I can't do that. Not after going through the trouble of saving her in the first place. There's always the whorehouses back in town. I passed a few while leaving. Why don't you gentlemen go there?" "I don't think so. There's two of us and one of you. So I think you're going to continue walking along your merry way.
Rairc sighed. Yeah, he was going to need to kill them. "Alright then. Seeing as how neither of you is going to back down." He raised his blade and gripped it in his hands, taking a long slow breath. "Last chance."
Two words that apparently weren't in the thugs' vocabulary. They rushed him together, blades held high. Rairc moved forward to put some distance between himself and the woman he was protecting. He sidestepped a chop from the first one and brought his blade across and down, decapitating him in one clean movement before shoving the dead body into the remaining rapist. Or attempted rapist. Dead man either way. Rairc thought to himself as he stepped around the body and checked the thrust of the other man's blade. He slid forward and slammed his elbow into the thug's chest before driving the hilt of his sword into the man's nose.
Rairc stepped back lightly, in complete control of every movement. The dead body slumped to the ground and the last living attacker was clutching his face, blood leaking from between his fingers.
"I forgive you." Rairc said calmly before stepping forward and burying his blade in the man's neck. Unfortunately the man had started a thrust and the blade tore through his clothing along his ribs.
"Oh come on. I just had this damn thing stitched!" Rairc growled as he wrenched his blade free, the body dropping to the ground. He put a hand through the hole and growled in annoyance. The sound of sobbing brought him back to the matter at hand though and he turned to face her. "It's ok miss." he said as he slipped his cloak off and put it over her shoulders, "I'll escort you back to town ok? Get you dressed up and find somebody to keep an eye on you until the next merchant group comes through. Ok?"
The woman remained there, hunched over and clutching the cloak around her shoulders.
