[Introduction]

As you approach the Warfare Alliance, the metal-man known as Gwar can be seen running down the street. Hey You! Stop!

However, he is simply too slow. A group of four seem to be running away from the Warfare Alliance - each heading down a different path.

You said you wanted to treat these four as "one" - so I'll do my best to refer to "you" rather than a particular one. Assign one to go down each path individually.

With a brief glance at each other, the decision was made. This was the creature they had ventured to see. Gwar, the leader of the guild that would be used as their base of operations while they infiltrated Gladius. Being surrounded by hardened warriors who thought you were friends with them and would be loyal was always a good way to begin. Loyalty could be used. At the right moment, it would be put to very good use....

As one, the dwarves who only referred to themselves as The Four Horsemen (having long ago given up keeping identities that conformed to the will of man), broke into a chase of the four beings that seemed to be fleeing from Gwar. With speed that seemed impossible for their size, they began the hunt all of the same mind. If these four had wronged Gwar or The Warfare Alliance in some way, then the judgement of the four would help gain them entrance and buy the loyalty they sought.

Bows whipped out from leather cases across the back of the four, and each began targeting a different adversary as they sprinted after them. The one on the middle right, known now only as War, aimed at one of the fleeing persons that was also to the middle.

War pulls back the bowstring, takes a deep breath, exhales - and fires. His arrow implants (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=353677) itself in the skull of his opponent (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=353678) - dropping him instantly!

Well it was a risk I took in setting it up this way...

Nicely done!

War howls in triumph as he watches his target fall. He advances forward as he puts his bow away and draws his axe. When he reaches his victim, he pulls him off into a nearby alley. Passersby might have heard the sound of metal hitting stone. When War emerged from the alley, he carried a large cloth bundle slung over his shoulder. To anyone that saw the entire sequence and could see the body in the alley afterward, they would see that War had chopped the person's head from his neck and had wrapped it in the shirt pulled from the dead body. A red stain could be seen forming at the bottom of the bundle.

War exited the alleyway, hollering to his bretheren of his prowess and encouraging them to stop playing with the others and just to get the job done.

That's the reason I love x3 crit weapons...if you notice, all of my weapons except the armor spikes are like that. My crits happen less often, but they are battle-changing blows when they do.
