[IC] Swords Beneath the Starlight

Axes.  Damn.  Milo never could get the hang of beating them back during training or combat, but now Brendan was down and a lot of his newfound allies were caught out in the open.  Despite the bandits' imposing sizes and deadly looking weapons, he hefted his lance and looked over at the closest one.  Baylee could hopefully keep his nearby friend occupied, but it looked like it'd be up to him and the kid to distract him from the less combat inclined.

He steels himself just before Sunny runs out and fires... something awful at him.  The magic of Progress was, of course, nothing new to the ex Retrovian soldier, but it still made him shudder to see it strike a living thing.  At least she was on their side - and besides, there were bigger things to worry about now.


"Lyander, Casey, I don't think I'll be able to take him down alone.  I could use your help finishing him off."

With that he charges forward, jumping in between Mazelina and the bandit and strikes with his lance.

"Mazelina, get behind me!  We can't afford to lose anyone else!"

Milo moves up two and right one, attacking the bandit to his right.
