Fishrudder had been walking along the walltops, suddenly Ellich shot by, running out into the woods, with Linx and Aldar chasing after him. He disappeared into the woods. Fishrudder with his vantage point on the wall, saw through a gap in the trees, a rat. He muttered to himself "Hellsteeth Ellich" He raced off the wall, jumping the last few steps, he quickly told the guards as he ran by. "Get reinforcements, quick-like." He raced after Linx, unslinging his CAR as he ran. He shoved a magazine into the CAR. "Linx, get ready, vermin, no count number. Wait" He cradled his CAR in one hand and unsheathed a sword, preparing to give one to Linx and his other to Aldar.

"Nice," Linx muttered as he holstered his CLOS so he could accept the sword, "But they're about to perforate us. Got a shield?"

**He handed Linx the sword and then said to Linx** What do I look like? A walking armoury? Hit the ground. NOW.

Linx heard a chorus of distant twangs... And did what Fishrudder said. The vermin were pretty much unable to hit him with direct fire and he was able to block one that would have hit him with the flat of his newly acquired blade. Now he and Fishrudder had the advantage. The vermin had to reload. "Get up!"

Just then reinforcements arrived, in the form of 5 young otters, Fishrudder said "Are you serious? Guards" He followed Linx's idea, CAR in the crook of his arm, ready to fire. "Let's go" He took aim quickly, pressing down on the trigger. He took out one vermin on the run. He then took aim at the rat behind the one he had taking it down, killing it to. "He said to Linx as he ran forward "There's a hundred, this is suicide, hellsteeth, were is Aral and Archon?"

"Don't ask me," Linx muttered while charging. "We're not that far from the fort, we c-" A repeater rifle round from behind them slew the rat Linx was about to bisect with a vertical slash. A second later, another bolt zipped from back on the curtain wall and hit an archer who was about to fire again, this time in the lower abdomen. Linx found himself not really in the fray... These were archers, not equipped for melee at all. "Archon..."

"Heh, good timing." He continued firing his CAR while running, they were finally closing in on the vermin. Fishrudder slung his CAR on his back and drew his remaining sword. "Let's hope we survive this one." ALl Fishrudder had on was his leather breastplate and his pants, no armor.

Linx had no armor himself, so it wasn't much of a surprise to him when he felt a dagger slash at his back diagonally, ripping through cloth and flesh like it wasn't even there, and provoking a cry of pain and surprise from him. The mouse responded by beheading his assailant in one chop, but soon realized how serious the wound was. He wouldn't have a lot of fighting time after this...

Fishrudder slashed down, leaving a slash across a rat's face. He saw two of the recruits go down under the weight of numbers. He then saw Linx get slashed in the back, Fishrudder blocked a spear thrust, but then got stabbed in the in the shoulder, thankfully it was his left. He slowly started backing his way back to Linx, parrying, not slaying, he had to get them out of there. He finally got to Linx and said "Get out of here."
It was then he heard the cry of reinforcements, at the head of the small unit was Aral, in each and every soldier's paws were repeaters, they were advancing methodically slowly picking them off. Fishrudder sheathed his sword and picked up a grievously wounded recruit, placing the recruit on his shoulder he waved to Linx to get out of there. "Let's go mate"

"Yeah..." Things were getting hazier by the second. Linx knew he was walking... He felt a weight leave his paw as he doggedly walked towards the reinforcements. In truth, though, he made it only some twenty feet before collapsing onto his paws and knees. I'm bleeding... I can't feel anything. I can't see any...

Hellsteeth **Fishrudder murmered to himself, he looked at the recruit, then to Linx. He waved over the only surviving recruit, Fishrudder told the recruit to take the young squirrel on his shoulder. He bent over and picked up Linx, taking an arrow in the buttocks. Flames flashed through his body, he picked up Linx, hoping he could make it to the fort, before the pain knocked him out.

Linx wasn't fully unconscious. ...Although he didn't know exactly what was going on. He could feel himself being lifted up, shakily, and that was about it. I don't wanna die right now. Can someone get me? Someone good?

OOC: Lol, HEY! BIC: Fishrudder walked as briskly as he could towards the fort, though his two wounds were really paining him. He reached into some deep reserve of strength and continued I hope that unit gets back safe

Repeaters still had the upper paw in battle. Although Linx was completely unaware of it, the rat archers were being demolished... And from the looks of it, their leader was just... Gone. What Linx was aware of was that Fishrudder was carrying him. This wasn't the hardest thing to figure out and it was a strangely comforting feeling. Relish the taboo bodily contact while you can, Linx...

FIshrudder continued carrying him until he reached the gatehouse, he tripped and stumbled, nearly dropping Linx, one of the extra guards took Linx from him, while another guided him towards the infirmary.
