Brandt would be able to take a good amount of crates to the cart, filling the back end! If he listened, he would hear shouts and a storm of footsteps, and he would see a cloud of dust starting to form from the other side of the tavern! His arm was also starting to hurt from that wound!

[Brandt Solveig]

A sense of urgency enveloped Brandt as he pushed himself to move even faster. His lifts became yanks, his steps larger. And as the giant grew more aware of the sound of approaching trouble, he began to toss the crates instead. It became apparent to the giant that he would probably have to fend off one more wave before he could finish up and leave.


With a frustrated grunt he would hoist himself up on top of that cart of boxes he had loaded so far. Taking stance at the high ground, the beast with the massive blade was ready and waiting. Those dangerous eyes glared toward the direction of his new impending threat.

[Oda Nobunaga]

Brandt would haul a good deal of the cargo, from moving so much quicker! However, he would not have time to finish it all, as the wave of bandits came charging! Some launched rocks at the big man, while those in front looked to carve his legs off!

Cargo Loaded: 80%

+25 Bandits. Ten in every stat.

[Brandt Solveig]

Brandt's eyes narrowed as the crowd neared. A quick estimate of enemy numbers landed around twenty. Numbers didnt scare him though, he had always been taught that the quality of a warrior trumps numbers and inexperience. And as he watched them approach, he would catch sight of the stone throwers preparation.


Twisting at his wrists, the massive blade would rotate so the flat side would catch the first volley of stones thrown his way. The sound of rock on metal would be the que he was waiting for. 


Bending his legs, the fearsome Nord would leap from the top of the caravan, twisting his body to bring his sword around like a tornado as aimed to land in the middle of the crowd and continue to rotate at least once more before the blade would grind to a halt upon the upheaved earth.

[Oda Nobunaga]

Brandt would successfully block all of the rocks thrown, and jumping off the caravan, his blade would crush eight of the bandits on the first rotation, and another five the second. The remaining twelve bandits backed up in fear, and began to circle the large man! Two would strike the wheels of the caravan, while the other ten would rush him from all sides, slashing wildly at his body!

[Brandt Solveig]

A blood thirsty grin tore upon the Nords face as he watched the remaining bandits revel in their fear of him, even if only for a moment.  When they would come in to circle, Brandts blade would lift into a ready stance.


His main focus was protection of the cart, and as he stared forward his peripherals would catch sight of the two men going for the cart. He knew he might sacrifice more of his own blood at this point, but he would manage to survive.


With a great heave the giant would lift his blade once again, to send it crashing down upon the bandit attacking the caravans left side. He hoped to rip him to pieces before Brandt would send it up and over. Twisting to turn about he would attempt to do the same to the bandit at the right side.


This would leave his back and sides open to the bite of blades, but his body was already scared from head to toe. A few more didn't really bother him.

[Oda Nobunaga]

The large man's blade would cleave the two men in half, though his body would pay the price! He would have ten gashes all across his torso, though when the men saw how little it affected him, they fell back in fear! Regaining their composure after a moment, four of the men would try and cut Brandt's legs off!

[Brandt Solveig]

While wincing from the ten licks of blades, Brandt would not make his pain audible. There was always two sides to a battle, the mental and the physical. The giant was strong willed and could deal with his wounds when it came time to rest.


His enemies fear was all he needed to buy his time to react. Releasing a roar of bloodlust, the beast of a man would throw himself forward, lifting his blade horizontal to slam into the four men who took their steps toward him preemptively. 


If the mighty slam connected it would no doubt knock them backwards and allow Brandt the time to twist and spin in an attempt to send his blade around again into the remaining crowd from behind the cover of flying bodies.

[Oda Nobunaga]

Brandt was successful, knocking the men away and then cleaving through their bodies! Eight of the men perished, and the two who were left took off in fear! They weren't sure if they were going for reinforcements or trying to escape with their lives!

[Brandt Solveig]

His mind began to calm slightly at the sight of the final two men running. The Nord figured at this point there was little they could do. The stings eminating from his back were bleeding, his already tattered cloak suffering even more. With a grunt he would turn back and climb inside the building to finish loading his cargo.


When he was done, he would search the area for horses to pull the cargo. If he could not find any, he would have to pull it back himself. Boy would he be sore by the end of the day.

[Oda Nobunaga]

Brandt would load the rest of the cargo, and found stables nearby where he had a huge selection of horses to choose from!

He had two options for leaving the camp: Where he came in, or the entrance. Both had a good deal of bandits surrounding them now, but it was likely they'd just let him pass either way, from fear!

[Brandt Solveig]

Those pale green hues looked over the horses in the stable, and he would pick two out strong looking horses that could handle the pull. Brandt would move quickly to grab all that he would need to harness them up and then he would take one last look around. If he could find a horse big enough to carry the giant himself, he would take it as well. Of course, he wasn't sure if they had anything the size of a Clydesdale.


After the horses were harnessed to the cart, Brandt would take a seat atop the caravans bench seat and grab the reins. It would be time for him to take his leave now that he had what he came for in the first place. The Nord set course for the main entrance, determined to make it out any way he needed. Cautiously, at a pace that would allow him to react if he needed too.

[Oda Nobunaga]

Brandt would find that the bandits didn't want to mess with him! They looked angry, but did not advance! He would be able to get the carriage out with no problems, now it was just getting back to the client he had to worry about.

[Brandt Solveig]

Brandt would not allow himself to grow too cocky as he strolled through the gates. Those pale hues glancing about as he continued to grasp the reigns with one hand, and his right resting at the hilt of his massive sword.


With luck the rest of his trip would be a cakewalk. But that remained to be seen. As he had learned many times before, death lurks where least expected. As he moved further from the camp, his pace would pick up. He wanted to get back as soon as possible. Brandt would need to rest before he found his next job.
