    "Same approach as before?" Ando suggested with a whisper, referring to the quiet takedown of the previous bandits. With Robin unsheathing his sword, that was more or less the plan, so Elio quietly nodded. Also, while he's at it, one dexterity boost spell on Robin was in order.

    Kanaru remembered she had some rope on hand from before--she had taken some extra just in case she needed another lasso.

    After carefully fashioning another lasso, Kanaru beamed with pride at her work--this one was much stronger and sturdier than her last one.

    Despite their preparations, it seemed the layout of the room was not in their favor. As Robin dashed towards the side of the room, the bandit, their back to the boxes, easily spotted him approaching. As he swung, sending a wave of electricity forwards, they dashed to the side, only taking a slight singe. (9, with advantage) Barely giving Robin time to react, they intercepted his blade with a pair of daggers. Looked like a fight was guaranteed now.

    Robin let out a quiet groan of frustration as his lighting attack plainly missed his target. After locking blades with the bandit's daggers, Robin went to do a conventional strike with a swing of his sword.

    Imagine Elio's shock when Robin was quickly spotted by the bandit. Quickly shaking his head, he opted to restore Robin's Luminous for now. After all, that crow summon thing earlier and the electricity on his sword did use some of the guy's Luminous, right?

    Robin's swing connected, knocking the bandit back - looked like they weren't expecting him to recover so quickly. (17) Elio, on the other hand, found himself too frazzled by the fight to focus. (7)

    Wincing from the earlier blow, the bandit stepped back. Then, without warning, they kicked off one wall of crates, leaping over Robin and landing behind him - and even striking his Luminous with one dagger on the way down. (18) From here, they were an easier target for the others - but of course, they could now easily see the rest of the team.

    (As a reminder for future posts, this is a low blood campaign. We assume RPG Damage.)

    The surprise reaction from the bandit caught Robin off guard and caused Robin even more surprise when he saw the dagger slash him. For a moment, Robin expected the worst and braced for the cut, but surprisingly he felt a sensation in his head - like experiencing the fear of death - instead. Then he realised that despite having been slashed, he escaped with a minor cut, like a paper cut. What happened there? Was he invincible? It was as if the slash he received was... filtered. Well, Robin could live with that.

    However, the force still sent Robin stumbling forward and also sent his support log flying to the ground. Thankfully, the photograph within hadn't spilled out, but still.

    This bandit seemed more composed than the previous ones the group had dealt with. Not only was toppling a stack of crates a smart move - that made a lot of noise and created more difficult terrain - but they even seemed to know how to fight Luminous users.

    Better to end this quickly, Ando thought. He rushed in, trying his best to hop over the dumped crates, intending to trip the bandit with the blunt end of his spear.

    Ando's charge towards the bandit was easily seen, but in preparing for a Luminous attack, they failed to notice his spear sweeping below them. In moments, their swing at him missed, and they found themself toppling to the ground.

    Snarling, they pushed themselves to their feet - but not before the rest of the team could move in...

    Taking advantage of the small gap the toppled crates made, Wakeng repositioned himself out of the bandit's line of sight. "Second time's the charm I hope," he muttered, hoping for a better result than last time as he tried a Hook Lasso again; this time choosing a lighter target - the bandit's hands (or at least his daggers).

    Wakeng's spell latched onto the bandit's daggers instantly, yanking them away from them (and for his keeping, at least temporarily). (17). Without their weapons, all the bandit could do was let out a quiet cuss and attempt to run - keyword, attempt, as Kanaru's rope had them bound and quiet soon after.

    Combat Over!
    (Wakeng rolled 17, high enough to end combat. Kanaru's turn was then just used for wrap-up.)

    Kanaru heard the bandits mutter some...choice words. "All right...where do we take these rogues?" she asked, tying the rope tight enough so the bandits couldn't escape.

    With the brief fight over, Robin got to his feet and caught his breath. He hadn't experienced the pain of combat for so long that he had forgotten what it felt like to be attacked. That also made him wonder if it was his consciousness that was in this world and not his actual body. It sure felt very real though.

    He picked up his support log and put it back in his bag, but not before checking to make sure the photograph was still in it. "Are we good? We should probably keep heading in." he said to his companions.

    Then he looked at Kanaru. "We either leave them here until this is over or we bring them out. Maybe someone from the guild could come and collect them."

    Feeling guilty from his earlier strain that costed Robin a chance to heal, Elio immediately casted the Luminous restoration spell on his fellow whitehead. He just had to, okay?

    As the group deliberated over what to do with the newly-captured bandit, Ando checked the crates that now scattered the floor of this room. If any of them had broken open or been damaged during the scuffle, he would check their contents for anything that might be useful. Just what were these bandits stockpiling down here?

    One of the crates seemed to have a dislodged lid, and upon opening it, Ando found the glow of dozens of Luminous runes, packed to the brim so they wouldn't shake. The symbols on each seemed to be made by different people, and the swirling colors they emitted together made it difficult to tell what their effects could be.

    @SAF @Jupjami @WavePearl @122 Generation
    Behind him, as Robin's Luminous stabilized with Elio's help, the bandit in Kanaru's rope suddenly keeled over before falling unconscious. A puff of smoke above one crate revealed Cira taking a seat, her own Luminous floating behind her, and some kind of bottle in the bandit's face. "Hey, you're still alive! Nice work so far."

    Robin scoffed when Cira appeared. “It would be troubling if some of us died already,” he said. Looking at the unconscious bandit, he added, “So much for reconnaissance. If the bandits know some of their own are missing, then we might have a fight on our hands. Shall we keep going in?”

    With his Luminous back to health, Robin felt the phantom pains in his mind go away. Also, the cut he got from earlier was mostly gone too.

    Even then, the glow from the crates was hard to miss. Robin took note of the sheer number of the runes and wondered if this group of bandits was part of a smuggling network or if they intended to use these for themselves. These tunes probably had to be confiscated.

    Kanaru was a little surprised at Cira's appearance, but composed herself. "We found what we believe to be smuggled runes--what would you have us do with these glowing crates, milady?"

    Cira held back a wheeze upon hearing the difference between Robin and Kanaru's responses. "Ha- well, for now, just leave them here. Backup from Jinguang's going to show up the second I call them, and they'll take care of these guys and the runes."

    She tossed a small cloth sack on the ground. "I've cleared out the chambers on the other side, leavin' the one in the middle, so let's move."

    "Those look like they'd fetch a hefty price…" Wakeng muttered, peeking behind the soldier guy to stare at the unveiled crate and its glowing contents. Ideas flowed through the broke college student's mind until he stopped and shook his head. Distributing contraband items will definitely get him in trouble with the guild.

    "Roger that," he replied; and conjured up a Shield before they move out, just in case.
