Lyric made a shriek of pain as Conrad's blades found purchase in her flesh. She wrenches her arm back and lashes forward, her sword scoring a shallow gash on the back of Conrad's hand. From behind Lyric, the archer made another shot towards the largest target, sending an arrow towards Bobbeh's right forearm. The arrow was biting, surely it would affect Bobbeh's hand to hand combat skills until it was wrenched free.
From behind Conrad; Singer switched targets and sent a blow dart hurtling towards Lyric. She moved too quickly and the dart bit into the dirt by Lyric's feet. Beside Singer, Cypress valiantly tried to fight through the pain. She sent a dart hurtling through the air, this one biting Lyric in the ear. Beside Conrad, Vibrance made a vicious cry and thrist forward, catching Lyric in the stomach.
The girl made a pained cry and fell to her knees. Vibrance withdrew her sword, stained red with Lyric's blood. Vibrance glared down at Lyric; her own collarbone wound having broken open in the battle. Blood seeped down her padded vest; but Vibrance's expression was fierce.
Lyric rolled 4 dice to "Attacking (Sword) (Conrad)" 6,2,1,9 (1 successes) Buttercup rolled 4 dice to "Firing bow at Bobbeh" 7,9,5,6 (1 successes)

With Lyric on her knees, Conrad still showed no signs of letting up any time soon with his payback for the wound she gave Cypress, striking at her with both his weapons once more.
Conrad Miles rolled 6 dice to "Dagger/Knife" 9,1,3,3 / 3,10,3 (2 successes)
Both blades made another crisscross across her chest, the impact of the knife Conrad's left hand making him hiss as it jarred the shallow wound Lyric had just given him. With all the injuries the girl had sustained,she couldn't have much left in her by now Conrad speculated.

Lyric made a sharp cry as the blades found purchase on her flesh. She was keeling over when the arrow pierced her chest. She fell upon the green grass of the meadow; her deep red blood streaming onto the blades of grass. Lyric did not move again; surely she had died.
From behind, Buttercup had no reaction to Lyric's death beyond loading another arrow into her bow. She leveled her weapon and loosed another arrow into Bobbeh's left leg. The pain smarted and Bobbeh may wish to start addressing the arrows that peppered his legs.
From behind him; Cypress leveled her delicate weapon at the female archer; sending a sharp dart towards the blond with a huff of breath. Buttercup jerked somewhat and plucked the bloody dart from her left arm.
Ore charged forward and hacked with his sword towards the wounded Vibrance. She was deft enough to dance back and avoid the deadly blade. Now Ore and Buttercup combated with the alliance. Ore looked incensed; Buttercup seemed happy sending arrows into their midst.

As Bobbeh's arrow pierced Lyric's chest Conrad glared at the male for taking away what would have been HIS kill. With nothing left to vent his frustration on Conrad surveyed the battle, coming back to his senses somewhat. Bobbeh was starting to resemble a pincushion and he realized Bobbeh had probably finished off Lyric because he needed assistance himself.
Buttercup was a fair distance down the hill and Ore was currently engaging Vibrance, who was starting to look somewhat worse for wear. Someone needed to engage her in close combat to stop her shooting off those damn arrows...
Conrad came to a decision, one that would hopefully keep the alliance united.
"Chisel, take care of Buttercup, I've got Vibrance's back here." he affirmed, standing by the female tribute's side with his dagger and knife at the ready.
"Go get Buttercup! We'll take care of Ore!" he called to the others, reasoning that Buttercup's prowess with the bow probably surpassed her prowess with hand-to-hand weaponry.

If Buttercup heard the shouted order; her bow veered slightly. This time; she targeted someone also worse for wear: Vibrance. The arrow caught Vibrance in the arm; just above her armored bracers. Vibrance swore with the pain; but attempted an attack on Ore all the same.
Her sword caught Ore across the cheek; splitting the skin and causing blood to flow freely. Vibrance teetered for a moment; but leveled her sword to attack when her arm steadied. Behind Vibrance; Singer declared "I'll help Chisel!"
The slim girl steadied her blow gun and leveled it at the blonde. Once again, Singer's aim was true and a small dart lodged into Buttercup's leg.
If Chisel had heard Conrad's order; there was no sign. The tribute made an enraged shout and raced down hill towards the blonde archer. The blonde hurriedly loaded another arrow; but would she shoot Chisel at all, given his speed?
From behind Vibrance, Cypress loosed a dart at the threat with the deadly aim, Buttercup. Her dart goes wide, however.
Ore seems to hear the shouting and targets the one giving orders- Conrad. The sword scores a cut along Conrad's left forearm, but a mild cut.
Buttercup rolled 4 dice to "Firing bow at Vibrance" 8,8,3,1 (2 successes) Vibrance rolled 8 dice to "Attacking (Sword) (Ore)" 3,2,3,5,2,1,10,5,10,6 (2 successes) Singer rolled 4 dice to "Blowgun (Buttercup) " 10,7,4,6,6 (1 successes) Cypress Woodward rolled 5 dice to "Blowgun (Buttercup) " 6,5,4,4,4 (0 successes) Ore rolled 2 dice to "Attacking (Sword) (Conrad)" 2,9 (1 successes)

The blonde archer jerks back; a hand clutching the arrow in her eye. Her weapon falls unheeded to the ground as she howls in pain; falling onto the grassy ground. Chisel does relent in his race towards her; only stooping to grab up his trident and level it towards the girl.
Chisel rolled 5 dice to "Trident throw at Buttercup" 5,7,2,1,5 (0 successes)
He somehow missed; but he proceeds with his sword unsheathed.

Conrad heard Buttercup's cry of agony and smirked at Ore.
"Looks like you should have stayed in bed."
Conrad lashed out with his blades, trying to force Ore to focus on him as a greater threat and hopefully spare Vibrance any further injuries.

Cypress steps up behind Conrad and flicks her wrist in a perfect manner. Spinning steel flies through the air; catching Ore at the shoulder blade. Blood spurts upwards; dark and thick. Beside Conrad; Vibrance doesn't hesitate at the good fortune. Her sword darts out and slices a notch in Ore's knee, causing the boy to stumble.
He catches himself for a surprise attack, his sword darting out to notch a deeper cut on Conrad's right arm.
Farther away, Chisel reaches Buttercup and makes a quick motion with his sword. The sword enters behind Buttercup's neck and her whimpering ceases immediately. Chisel removes his sword and shouts to his alliance.
"She's dead!"
He has a thought to grab her fetch of arrows as he lopes back up the hill to his alliance.

As Ore landed a deep cut on Conrad's right arm the teen hissed with the stinging pain it brought, thankfully not dropping the knife in his right hand.
Chisel's notification of Buttercup's demise brought an involuntary smile to Conrad's face as he struck at Ore, intending to repay the wound the male had just given him.
"You're next." Conrad told Ore, hoping to create an opening in which he could finish him off.

If the taunt had any effect, Ore didn't show any signs of it doing so, but Conrad still managed to breach his defenses.

As Conrad drove his blades into Ore; the young man stumbled. He grimaced with pain and grasped his torn flesh. His fingers, slick with blood, lost their grip on the sword hilt. As the blade fell towards the ground, the alliance struck quickly. Cypress flicked her wrist and sent another blade skittering into the male tribute.
Vibrance danced forward; her blade slicing into the tribute's shoulder. He stumbled and Simger made a quick huff; her dart finding purchase in the tribute's neck. Overwhelmed by ferocious attacks, Ore teetered and fell backwards onto his back. As you watch; the last of your attackers breathes his last.
Now you glance down at yourself. Bobbeh had six arrows in his legs; painful yet shallow if someone could help remove them. Conrad had several cuts on his arms, some worse than others. Vibrance's untreated collarbone from yesterday had broken open and a fresh sword cut bleeds. Cypress favors her cut knee and Chisel looks nearly untouched...
You also have a fierce hunger and thirst. The fighting had come before breakfast and you have a burning urge to eat and drink your fill.

The battle done with, the adrenaline fading; Conrad's wounds started to burn as the extent of his injuries made themselves known. Though they only numbered three, the fallen trio had certainly inflicted a good amount of hurt to the Alliance.
"We'd better eat, patch ourselves up and move out... they'll want to get the bodies."
Wordlessly Conrad moved down the hill away from the others to Buttercup's body, painfully dragging it up with him as blood dripped off his protesting arms.
Once he had all three corpses together, he searched them and removed anything useful on their persons - shoes, socks, weapons, armor, small items - though not their tokens. He also closed their eyes, positioning them respectfully before awaiting his turn to be patched up with a medkit.

"You have the worst of it," Cypress says to Vibrance and Bobbeh. "-let me patch you up and get those arrows out; then we can move to the Woods. I bet we can get a good lunch there."
"Not yet," Vibrance objected. "-I'm thirsty and the lake is right there. Lets drink our fill and refill the skins before we head to the Woods."
"We're hurt." Cypress protested; looking to Conrad and Bobbeh to settle the argument.

"How about you and Bobbeh get patched up by Cypress and grab a drink while the rest of us fill water skins and get some food together?" Conrad suggested.
"You're not going to be much use while you're bleeding all over the meadow and Bobbeh needs to look less like a pincushion asap."

Vibrance rooted around in her pack; withdrawing her apple and biting into it with gusto. She chewed noisily before replying.
"I'm hungry." She stated. "Lets get to the Lake so we can eat."
Cypress hobbled a bit on her wounded knee; but moved towards Bobbeh. "Sit down, Bobbeh." She advised. "Let me get those arrows out of your legs so you can walk better."
Singer frowned and began to assist Chisel in getting the tents wrapped up; packing up camp for moving.

Conrad passed over the bandages, pliers and even the medical kit to Cypress. As he picked through the rest of the gear, he shoved Lyric's canteen into Ore's now empty backpack, throwing in her empty water flask and watch, Ore's empty flask, gloves and bracers, followed by Buttercup's night vision goggles before the others saw the full range of spread-out gear.
He briefly picked up Buttercup's canteen before putting it down again - the brief handling enough to tell him it was full.
"Okay, anyone got any water containers they need filling? If you have any not totally full then decant them around and pass me the empties."

"Ooh, she really got you bad." Cypress frowns as she tackles the next two arrows. "We should check on these tonight when we get somewhere safer. I don't think you need stitches, though. What do you think, Bobbeh?"
Cypress Woodward rolled 8 dice to "medicine (removing arrow from Bobbeh's leg)" 7,8,1,7,3,1,8,6 (2 successes)
Vibrance drank most of her water skin right there; handing her skin to Conrad as well. Chisel drained most of his skin and frowned; looking towards the bag of food on Conrad's back.
Vibrance sat down next to Cypress and Bobbeh, poking at the medical equipment. "Okay, your turn..." The brunette declared; leaning in to examine the nasty cut on her collarbone. With a medical swab, bandages and ointment; she managed to make Vibrance's angry looking cut look well tended and on its way to healing.
Cypress Woodward rolled 8 dice to "medicine (patching Vibrance's collarbone)" 8,1,10,7,8,2,9,9,9 (6 successes)
As you consider moving out; silver colored parachutes drift down. The first one drifts to Bobbeh and once unwrapped reveals 10 cross bow bolts. The last parachute drifts to Conrad and reveals itself to be a finely crafted double edged sword.

Conrad emptied his own water skin, sharing out the contents to fill anyone else's containers that were mostly full and drinking what remained from his.
Setting aside the bow and any arrows from the new gear pile for Bobbeh, he added the empty containers from Vibrance, Chisel and Bobbeh to Ore's backpack. Dashing back into his tent, he brought out the backpack of food and his sword he'd left in there overnight, returning just in time for the silver parachutes to fall down. A new sword? Wasn't his old one fine?
Something seemed off about his new sword and once in his hands he could see it was shorter than the one he had, but lighter as well. Giving it a few practice slashes through the air, he quickly figured out why Apple had sent him this over the one he had - it was not only perfectly balanced in his hand, but easy enough to wield that he could keep up the two weapon style that was serving him so well in the last battle. Raising the sword, he gave whatever cameras were watching a traditional salute of respect with the blade to honor his mentor's gift. His old sword quickly joined the pile of new gear for the others to fight over, Conrad deciding to keep both the dagger and knife for the moment to go with his new short-sword.
"Anyone fancy a spot of fishing for breakfast while I fill these canteens and bits up?" Conrad asked. "It'll help the food supply last longer."

"Thanks," Vibrance replied, examining her now well - bandaged wound. "- that looks a lot better. Thanks Bobbeh, Cypress."
She stood and finished gathering the rest of the camp in preparation for the move to the lake.
"I'd like to fish." Singer replied. "I still want to try setting snares for some rabbits or some thing." Cypress replied, checking her pack was ready.
