Romar -
The lead cleric stands unusually calm during your outbreak. He watches you spout your obscenities at the Hidden City's stance of neutrality with a quiet patience...clearly not the first time he's heard the argument.
When you leave in a rage, you can barely hear his comment beneath his breath--"May you find what you're looking for Romar Belamor..."
And with that, you leave the Hidden City behind.
It seems like a very short exodus from the city of painfully neutral clerics. The people on the street avoid you as though you carried the plague, the look in your eyes boldly stating 'Stay Away!'. When you pass beneath the archway to the outside world, you feel a strange shock wash over you. Turning around, it becomes clear what the feeling is...
The Hidden City is gone.
No longer can your eyes see its glimmering roofs of good and rotten roofs of evil. The arch, the people, the temple of the council...all gone. This is probably the result of you revoking your allegiance to the city and denouncing it. Even Avyant, the great bird that brought you here, is gone...no where to be found. No matter, time to move on.
The dusty trail is all that remains ahead of you now. The sun is high in the sky, nearing the midday mark. It will be well into nightfall before you will exit the canyon system that you followed the first time to get to this place...with Yuri, so long ago. Picking up one foot before the other, you begin to walk down the trail, away from the city that now hides itself from you.
You're barely given any time to think during your walk when you round a corner and spot a man in grey traveller's clothes ahead on the trail. The man sits in plain view, face hidden by a hat and leaning against the canyon wall--he appears to be asleep.

All Others -
Alton fires his shot from around the corner, aiming for the enemy his companion is barrelling towards right now. [Damage Results = 5]
{END OF SURPRISE ROUND}
As the battle starts, Krysta unloads into one of the guards. [Damage Results = 16 to #3] He recoils from the arrows, his left shoulder and stomach pierced and bleeding a deep crimson.
Alton fires again, moving forward for better aim. [Damage Results = 11] Another arrow in the chest of the one Girud fights, leaving a clean hole in the Elf's shiny armor that leaks blood.
Yuri [No Post]
Girud, now basing his enemy, unleashes his fury with two very well-placed blows. [Damage Results = 36] The first blow is unhindered, passing right through the captain's left leg and severing cleanly. The second blow stops, only because the blade entered right above the shoulder and stopped mid-chest. The Elf slumps to the ground without so much as a sound as it slides of the Half-Giant's blade.
Still in shock from what has happened, those guards that still possess arms draw them and advance on the Half-Giant. [Move, Draw as Free and 3 Attacks @ +8]
[dice=20]
[dice=20]
[dice=20]
[Results = all Misses] The Elves prove to be shaken without their leader and their blades cannot find purchase. They do have the attacker surrounded though, seeming to believe he is the cause of their woes thus far.
Mordrock fires a few arrows. [I'm assuming anyway. Who wants to control him?]
[dice=20]
[dice=20]
Garor, empowered by his spell cast moments earlier, advances as far as his Dwarven legs will carry him. [Double move]
Adelia remains at Krysta's side, her healing talents not yet called for.
{I'm going to remove Galdren since he's not posted in weeks and no word yet on status.}
{Initiative: Krysta (26), Alton (25), Yuri (24), Girud (20), The Elven Guards (19), Mordrock (18) + Garor (18), Adelia (16)}
