Kravis follows Lifaen outside. Suddenly, the heroes hear the innkeeper scream, wildly. They rush back into the room to find the Captain pointing a sword at the innkeepers throat.
"HELP!! IT'S CROWE!!"
Ignoring the entry of the armed men, he raises his sword to slice the innkeeper's head open.
A cannon has been partially dragged out of the storage room.

Ishtar shouts as he charges his speed of anubis, running towards the captain,"Don't kill anyone!We don't know which one is crowe, yet for sure!!"(precaution as gms can be pretty tricky!) He charge at the captain with the blunt end of his spear, attempting to push him away with the force and speed of his own body and spear.

((I deleted Kravis' post as I found it ridiculous.))
Perhaps the heroes underestimated the Captain's prowess.
He raised his sword to block Ishtar's spear. The sheer force of the blow threw him backwards.
"You fool! That's Crowe! Kill him!"
The innkeeper seems terrified. Hardly the person you'd expect Crowe to be.
The Captain raised his sword to shoulder level, pointing it at Ishtar.
"You'd be making a mistake by tangling with me, boy."
He placed his helmet on, after noticing furrows on Lifaen's forehead. He is heavily armoured. They dont call him Captain for nothing.

Ishtar hits the ground with cruel impact,"f**k!Get the captain, he's crowe, the inn-keeper is not" Twirling the spear like a baton in his left hand ishtar fires up his ability to increase agility and unsheathes his scimitar using his righ hand, smiling, born for this, to figh evil he lunges at the captain, rotating and swinging his scimtar at him, occasionally jabbing with both sides of the spear, using it as a defence against crowe's blows(lol, it rhymes), he jumps in the air legs stretched forward, aiming for crowes chest, but does not make impact, instead he lands behind him, searching for a weak link in the armour he slashes at crowes back with his scimitar and no plunges the spear in the neck joints, tired, he reduces his pace to a walk, attackin slower now.

Although Ishtar was faster, the Captain was definitely stronger. Most of the fight consisted of him blocking the attacker's swings. By the time Ishtar slowed down, his armour was pretty banged up. He shoved the hilt of his sword into Ishtar's chest, pushing him back. After this, he swung at the looming scimitar, causing it to fly out of his opponent's hands.
The Captain leaped onto a table and gazed at the three new enemies he had made. The innkeeper cowers in a corner of the room.
"I'll have you all hung! You rascals!"
However, a bolt from Kravis knocked the angry man to the floor. Ishtar aimed a spear at his neck.
"Please." he pleaded. "I am a friend."

Ishtar now out of breath, thanks to the knock, swings around his spear and whacks the man from the blunt end, on the back of the head, so as to render him unconscious,"Don't kill them yet, I'll try to get him unconscious..",he says to the others, while he hits the captain."Somone make sure the inn-keeper is not crowe, i am really really confused."

Once the Captain is unconcious, he is put down on a chair. Kravis and Lifaen approach the innkeeper. Suddenly, the man's facial expression changes to a scowl and he begins yelling: "What are you waiting for!? Kill him!!" A short silence follows, as Crowe realises that he has given himself away. Then, without warning, the man reaches for a longish deerskin bag and pulls out a strange metal tube with some sort of trigger. He aims the tube at the Captain and pulls the trigger. A thunderous sound is heard as a small metal ball flies straight through the Captain's chest. Slowly, Crowe removes his mask to reveal the scarred face that lay beneath. "It took me 6 years to make this.. gun. By God, when I plunder this dock, I'll have enough gold to provide these to every man in my army." "This is the future men!" he declares, raising his weapon high up in the air. "And you, are the past." He takes aim with his incredible killing device. ----------------------------------------------------------------- The battle was over. The Merideans lost more men than expected, but they had won. The guards had retreated to more defensible positions. They waited for Crowe to give them a command, as according to the plan. Soon, they would be here. The Meridean Commander looked back at the three dots. They were growing larger with every passing minute.

Lifaen looks at Crowe disbelievingly. A flurry of emotions rushing through him. There was anger, fear, panic, aggresion and fury at being fooled. The gun was indeed more than a match for any magic. So Lifaen with agility ducks down and starts to crawl as fast as he can towards the inn entrance. If he is shot he would have nothing to lose. He would be shot anyway. The way he died is what mattered to him. die like a hero, maybe I might even survive or maybe the next person i meet shall be the captain.
Thinking this he tries to go out and warn anyone to flee the place.

Kravis jumps and ducks into the side. He opens a Kinetic portal and throws a a dwarven battle sword into the portal with all his might. The sword flies right at crowe and amazing speed.
I hope this works , i hope it works.

Crowe just manages to dodge the flying sword. He crashes into a table. Lifaen escapes through the door. The commander unsheaths his rapier and yells:
"Ongar!"
He holds his rifle in the other hand.

"Yea!"
Kravis jumps on top of he table and points his other sword on Crowes neck. He kicks the rifle and says
"This is the future."
Then he stabs him many times over and over again

The rifle flies out of his hands. Most of Kravis' stabs are blocked by the expert fencer. He makes a series of swings at Kravis, injuring him. With another kick, the Magician is sent reeling backwards.
"How dare you touch me you magician scum!" he screams, noticing the magical amulets hanging from his neck.
------------------------------------------------------------
The three flying machines soar over the city at breathtaking speeds. It was once said that metal cannot fly.
The Meridians proved otherwise. A crew of 2 men sat in each plane. Although delicate, the machine was fast. It had stiff leathery wings and was made from a combination of wood and metal. It was an engineering wonder. No arrow could possibly hit it.

Ishtar now reeling from all of this was sitting in a corner, and had dragged th captain along with him, he wept,"Another person who i have failed to protect", he says remembering his master. He gathers all his remainging strength and hauls the captain on his shoulders,"Must find a healer.." He silently using his speed of anubis takes the captain out of the inn, searching for a healer, he sees the metal planes over head."Oh gods!Metallics eagles??And of this proportion?I need to warn the others.."But then realising how little time, maybe none the captain had, he once again combining his will power and speed runs searching for a healer.

Lifaen runs out of the inn.Now i have been reduced to fleeing like a common coward!Lifaen thinks very sadly. He runs out of the bar and jumps into one of the deserted houses. What would his family and friends think of him? To them this was all a test of wits and courage,etc,etc. He hides from the planes that are zooming up in the air. He picks up a shard of broken glass nearby and speaks a silent prayer for luck. Taking aim, he throws the shard towards Crowe in the inn across the house.

The shard pierces Crowe in his shoulder. He screams in pain, dropping his Rapier.
"DAAARRRGH!!"
In one fluid motion, he grabs his gun and fires a bullet into Lifaen's leg. A quickly launched bolt from Kravis knocks the gun out of his hands. Not wanting to waste any more time, Crowe quickly disappears into the night.
The planes are now preparing to drop the dynamite on the harbour.
