Alice nods,following his gaze to the other Foxen, and smiles before heading back across.

Kijin lays down to go to sleep. Slowly he fades into sleep. His sleep is disturbed by nightmares. He dreams of being captured. Mainly of what will happen to him if he is caught. In his dream at one point he is being tortured. Outside of his dreams the only hint at his nightmare is his constant quickened breathing and occaisional rolling.
A message goes out to several reclaimers. One such reclaimer is Nilthen he receives a letter via spellwork. The wolf shifter smiles. His next glass shows up and he downs it. Standing up he puts on his cloak and leaves the Dancing Coyote inn. His trusted longsword sits at his hip as he walks off into the night.

Around the post, activities continued as normal, with maximum awareness and security. The Vanguard Line Rangers headed to bed.

Kijin slept through some of the night. Eventually he woke up from a nightmare. The sun hasnt risen yet and the Foxen is gone. Sitting up in his bunk he decides to step outside for fresh air. He gets outside and posts up on a branch. Tefin need very little sleep and he is feeling as refreshed as he could be. He examines his sword, the blade shimmers in the night as it reflects the moonlight. He almost loses his balance when a voice speaks up. "Nightmares?" Its the Foxen from earlier. She smiles as he joins her at the ground level. Her eyes fixate on something in the distance and she suddenly grabs Kijin before diving sideways. An arrow whips through the air where She was previously.
The archer stands in a tree some distance away. He tries to slip away into the trees. Several men rush out into the camp. Each one is dressed in Raider appearal. Using a mixture of Breastplates. Four men are armed with spears and three are armed with swords.

The other guard on ground level lashes out with a sword, killing the first Raider instantly. His shield deflects a strike from a second and he continues the slash at his attacker.
On the first bridge, the guards Lash out with halberds, taking out 3 more raiders.
One of the guards on the top bridge sends an arrow after the archer while the other fires three shots in rapid succession, hitting 3 stragglers in the heads.
The 2 men in the commons charge out. Ruby was first, crushing a raider with her shields. She was followed by a woman with a long-bladed spear.

The clearing fills with more raiders that continue fighting. They engage the guards in combat. One rushes for ruby he is using a battle axe and appears to be a human. A wolf shifter ducks out from behind him with a glave to attack the longbladed spear wielder.
Kijin feels a dark energy and dodges a strike aimed for his head. He is on his feet in a moment. Bringing himself into ready position he notes the Foxen taking a place at his shoulder. Kijin lunges forwards with a blade in hand. His target ducks back to avoid the strike but finds a blade in his stomach from the guard.

Ruby's eyes flash. No, they actually flash, with several million lumens, blinding both the axe man and glaivier. Lunging forward, she slams the spikes of her right shield into the axe man as the spearman twirls his weapon to move the glaive aside and lunges.
Alice emerges onto the lower bridge with a noose. Swinging it down, she catches a raider and dives off the other side, sending two needles into raiders before landing blade-first on the shoulders of a fourth. Continuing her momentum, she sank her blade into the back of a fifth raider before releasing the rope.

After the man sinks to the ground dead Kijin dives off the bridge launching a Kunin into the tree. It acts as a grappling hook as he slides right down to the ground with ease. The guard follows him down and they land one after the other. Lunging forwards Kijin catches a Familier Raider with his blade. The woman rolls away with a smile on her face. "Ah kijin thats where you hid. I'm not here for you, we want your brother." Kijin growls as his vision tunells to just see her. He enters an interesting stance before lunging forwards again. The Foxen joins in closing distance quickly. The Raider pulls out a knife and after dodging Kijins strike sticks it into the Foxens leg as a counter attack. Kijin recovers quickly and sends his sword through the Raiders left knee. This gives the Foxen enough time to finish the target.
The Raiders begin retreating leaving six men in the clearing.

The spearman kicked the wolf shifter off his spear, slashing to behead him before he hit the ground, and threw his spear into one of the six.
The halberdeers on the lower bridge killed two more.
The Lieutenant with sword and shield killed another.
Ruby moved to the Foxen, planting her shields on either side to tend her.
Alice lassoed the fifth raider, yanking him in as she closed the distance on the sixth and stuck both with her bracer blades.
The two archers took pot shots at the retreating forces.

The retreating forces continue taking losses and Kijin readies to give pursuit before noticing the Foxens wound. He calms down before moving up to her. Looking at Ruby he ask "is there any poison in the wound." His knowledge of Kijik poisons would be useful if she had been.

Ruby's hands were glowing, and a single drop of blood, brown with contaminants, flew into the palm of one hand before sizzling into a powder. She shook it off. "Not anymore." The wound stitched itself shut, taking about twice as long as his had, as she was sealing each damaged layer.

The Foxen smiles "I never thought I would get to see that blade." She points at the blade Kijin is wielding. The weapon has an oddly shaded edge seeming to be dimond edged.
Kijin nods before turning to Alice. "This wasnt for me. They where chasing my brother."

Alice raised an eyebrow as her blades sank back into her bracers. Coiling the rope she walked around gathering needles. "Stupid move, cutting through our checkpoint."

Kijin frowns "its troubling not stupid. Raiders are dogs compared to the others in the warlords army. They only push like this when a raid is about to go down. If these ones are looking for Alluin it means his master is about to do something to restore her status." His gaze shifts to the forest again before settling back on Alice.

"No, it was stupid. They lost most of their men, we lost none, and now every post is on alert and expeditionary veteran reinforcements are en route to the borders."
