Kate in Sherwood V

Feb 07, 2009 16:04

The day of the attack was crisp and cold as everyone prepared. Will and Tuck doing their best to look poor and desperate for work so Will kept only his knife at his belt as he took a staff ( Read more... )

Kate grabbed some of the arrows, placing them in her quiver. She was missing some of her trick ones, and her gadgets. But couldn't take the chance of leaving them behind in this time period. Good thing she's a damn good shot.

She glanced toward Will with a determined expression. Her outfit wasn't anything like her modern costume, but she still was getting into that mindset. Be fitting someone bearing the name of Hawkeye.

Robin looks at them all and hands Kate four more arrows,

"Dinna wish to run out this day. Now to do what we can."

They all share a nod and stand up, moving towards the manor as Will passes Kate his horn to use if she gets in trouble.

Kate nodded in agreement to Robin, and quickly added the extra arrows. She then stepped closer to Will.

"You sure you don't need this yourself?" She quietly asked him as he handed it to her.

"Tuck 'as 'is an we'll be fine, love."

He pulls her close for a quick kiss as they all start moving towards the manor. There's isn't much to say since they all know what they mean and need to do.

She briefly embraced him back, kissing him. It was the easiest way to convey love, worry, and reassurance.

Kate then stepped away to walk alongside the men.

As they near the manor, everyone starts to separate, Robin and Allan going around the other way and John coming with Kate as Tuck and Will come into view of the gate.

The closer they get the more their posture changes, Will seems to look smaller and hurting as Tuck leans on his staff and calls out,

"Please, can ye aid us?!"

Her hood was up as she slipped alongside John, her bow ready. She closed her eyes for a moment, recalling instantly the pattern of the guards. The positions. The gaps.

She headed into the position, ready to aim.

John nodded too her as the conversation at the gate could just be heard,

"Who are ye?!"

"Just poor travelers, sir. The lad with me 'as walked with me too many days an we've naught."

"Tis an abbey, why do ye na go there?!"

"'eard tell there was work for those with strong backs."

"Oh aye, ye're willin' to work?"

Now Will's voice appears sounds small and hungry,

"Aye, sir, will do aught if could earn me a bite to eat."

"Will let ye in but ye're to obey all ye 'ear."

She gave a nod back, and carefully nocked an arrow on her bow. Aiming for the one of the more distracted guards. He was scratching his head. Whether from boredom or lice, it didn't matter.

She took a deep breath, holding it for a moment before letting it out very slowly.

The gate creaks as it opens and across the manor two men fall quietly from Robin and Allan's arrows.

Inside Will and Tuck do their best to cause little attention as they seem hungry and ready to do anything for work.

The guard pushes them around and Will and Tuck start asking careful questions to hide the thunk of the arrows.

nothawkingbird February 8 2009, 00:55:24 UTC

One arrow hits the scratching guard, two more hit the one beside him. There was a brief yell but the one hits his head as he fell over, knocking him unconscious.

She fired again, aiming several arrows at another small cluster before they could raise alarm.

There's a clatter of voices from inside and more thumps as those staffs are put into use.

A ragged cheer goes up as the fight grows and the falling bodies bring strength to those inside.

nothawkingbird February 8 2009, 01:00:18 UTC

Between her and John, the guards in their area weren't going to be a problem for a while. She then went to get closer in case there were any stragglers.

On the wall of the manor is a tree that would make it easy to get over the top where inside the fighting is growing louder as tensions are released.

nothawkingbird February 8 2009, 01:27:21 UTC

Kate climbed upward and vaulted over the pikes. She crouched low, and rolled to soften her fall before getting up again. There was some commotion on the steps, and she immediately went into action. One guard was punched and another kicked in the stomach.

will_scarlett February 8 2009, 01:29:50 UTC

Will and Tuck are at the center of a maelstorm of fighting with staves spinning and taking down those around them.

Newly freed men and women are fighting back as Robin and Allan come over the wall and John from the back.

The manor is almost secured as there's a crack as one of the guards gets Will in the side.
