Azirath just saw what was going on. Talyaras staggering back from the leader, Arnaud facing down the third thug, and the one coming after him was starting to get up. There were no weapons in sight, nor were there any heavy objects lying conveniently on the edge of a small platform.

Talyaras recoiled from the strike, but before she could ready herself the leader had swung his leg forwards, catching her in the midriff. A small gasp of air came out of her lungs as she was winded, and she took a few paces back.

'I saw you back at the festival. Yeah, you were up the rooftops, weren't ya? Probably in league with the assassins, waiting to shoot Xarxes if they failed. Well you won't hasve another chance, that's for sure!' He leapt forwards swinging down his machete.

Talyaras did the unexpected. She leapt full force into the thug, sending them both flying backwards. And before he could push her off she had pulled her arm back and then thrusted fowards with the sabre, curving it up as it entered his torso.

Arnaud's opponent grinned and shook his head. 'You'll have to try harder than that, boy. Come closer,' he laughed harshly. Then when his leader was being tackled he turned around to see what was going on, leaving himserlf exposed to Arnaud for just a few moments.
