Kira sees that Buliwyf is speaking to leader of the army and wonders what they are saying. She stealthily sneaks up within hearing distance, hoping to hear some kind of good news, unfortunately they are just sharing stories about Bramwell. She sighs and and works her way back through their people looking for Ignis and Warrick. Not seeing them, she wonder what mischief they are up too and wishes she were with them, She is getting very anxious for something to happen.
Kira decides to head over towards her horse, she pats them as they walk and picks up a few pebbles scans the soldiers around her to guage how much they are paying attention to her. When she realizes they really arn't giving her much mind, she launches a pebble that hits one soldier in the arm and quickly goes back to patting her horse. She hears the soldier grumble and giggles to herself. She pulls her horse over a bit and launches another pebble hitting, this time hitting a soldier in the arse. Again, she returns to her horse so as not to attract attention to herself. She looks up in time to see the soldier still rubbing his behind and accidently lets out a laugh. He turns and glares at her but keeps walking.
She picks up a few more pebbles and leads her horse to another spot. She picks out a target and gets ready to let loose another pebble when from behind her a soldier grabs her arm and squeezes tighly and raises his short sword ready to hit her with the flat of the blade. Quickly with her other hand she reaches in her bag and grabs a dagger and points it at his nether regions and says "if you don't let go of my hand you will no longer be able to perform your husbandly duties." She then pushes slightly against him and his eyes grow in surprise that she was able to draw on him without him realizing it.
The soldier then smiles, lets out a nervous laugh and realeases her hand. "You drew on me and I didn't even see it. I have underestimated you lady, I will not make that mistake again."
Kira smiles and asks, "what are the taverns like in Bramwell?"
The solider grins, "you would do well to watch your back in them, I could easily have put my sword through you instead of grabbing your hand," and walks away.
She realizes she had made the same mistake her teachers had chastized her for, not being aware of all of her surroundings. Mad at herself she threw the remaining pebble down and decided to work on taking in who and what is around her.

"You would do well to abide by the customs of bramwell as best you can when we get there." said buliwyf overhearing the conversation of Kira and Warrick. "I will not risk outrage and undue attention being brought on us, if it can be avoided. That does not mean you cannot have fun if the oppurtunity presents itself. Bramwell is renowned for it's taverny."
"Oh alright, no more teasing the soldiers. I guess I can wait till we get to the taverns," she replies. Kira, with her head down from the rebuking, kicks at a stone as Buliwyf heads back up to the front. She grumbles a bit but realizes he is probably right.

"Buti must not have come with us, guess she decided to leave the group and set out on her own," she thinks to herself.
"Naw, Warick, it's nothing to do with the blood, the bones are what you can really make use of. Ever made a crib out of a man's ribcage? I've never seen a child sleep more soundly." Ignis said loud enough for the Bramwell soldier to hear, and watched as he left the area entirely, and marched to the front of their convoy.
The soldier slows as he approaches Kira, he shivers as he contemplates their words. She looks over at him and says, "you know, he uses finger bones and eyeballs to make a mobile for the baby to look at and play with as well."
She laughs out loud as the soldier stares at her in horror and continues his way to the front.
Kira sighs as she grows restless and wonders how much longer they will be on the road.

Kira laughs at the stories Ignis and Warrick are telling the soldiers. She looks around for the horses and heads over to them. She scratches her mounts nose and digs in the saddle bag for a carrot for him. Kira then wonders where Buti has disappeared to as she scans the group.

In the midst of battling a man emerges from the forest and orders a halt, Kira looks over to Buliwyf to see if he will comply and he does so she lowers her bow. Buliwyf approaches the man and they converse a bit, she is too far off to hear most of it.
Then she hears Buliwyf, "I lead these men yes."We will follow."
Kira wonders what is going on but she decides to go along with the plan.
She notices Kifu not too far off and runs over to him, she sees him crying for some reason. She reaches into her pouch and pulls out the eye she had taken from the soldier.
"Here, I thought you might like this," she hands him the eye and he stops crying.

As Kira makes her way down to the water, she slips on the moss and lands on her behind, spilling the clothes she is carrying. She gets up quickly, oh gods I hope nobody saw me fall, she mutters and begins gathering the clothes up and continues.
"Steel yourselves!" yelled Buliwyf. "We are not alone!"
She drops the clothing and readies her bow. She sees the Riddians coming out of the forest, damnit why isn't my spell working.
Kira sees a soldier heading for Warrick, aims and fires hitting him in the chest, taking him down just as he was about to bring his sword down on his back. She looks for her next target and sees Ignis tying up a wound and continuing on.
"Hehe, she laughs, we have some tough ones with us."

Kira was grazed by the sword her oncoming attacker had drawn, but she landed a killing blow with her short sword to his chest. She looked around and her group had dispatched all the enemy. She starts gathering the clothing up to help the rest of our party with disguises.
Kira notices Lento approaching Buliwyf.
"What do we do now?" asked Lento.
"Burn it." Buliwyf replied. "Gather up as many of the Riddian's clothes as you can. The head for the river.
Kira has grabbed up as many clothes as she could carry and starts out for the river.

Buliwyf motioned to Kifu and the others to chase after them.
Kira looks to where Buliwyf is pointing notches her bow and fires, hitting one soldier through his back, the arrow piercing all the way through, he falls gurgling blood. She runs up a bit more, Viktor is ahead of her and to her left, she sees one man that was hiding break his cover. She notches another arrow and lets it fly. It pierces his right eye as he turns to look at the distance between us, he falls flat on his back. She yanks her arrows out of both bodies, both making squelching sounds as they leave the flesh. Blood dripping from the heads, she shakes them and wipes them on the soldier with the missing eye. She picks up the eye and wraps it to give to the witch doctor, he would like this, she thinks to herself.
She looks up to see another charging her and she realizes she won't have time to notch an arrow. She draws her short sword hoping she will be in time.

"Quickly enter the outpost and take out those guards" he shouted as they moved forward. "Kira! Take out that guard in the tower!"
Kira takes aim and fires at the guard. Her aim was true, and he falls.
"Got him."
She sees another guard run towards the fallen one and fires off another arrow at him, piercing him through the side.
"Got another too."
"Viktor, over there." She points to another guard.

Kira dismounts from her horse, secures him to a tree and gives him a carrot to eat. She casts out to see if any enemies are near and determines none are in her cast range.
"I have cast out to Illuminate any enemies nearby, none are present, although I have to admit my range is small."
The small group starts out for the tower. Kira pulls out her short sword from her back and places it in side holder that easier to access if she needs it. She remembers Buti being able to make her weapon appear and disappear at her will. I am going to have to ask her about that, maybe it is something I can learn, she thinks to herself.

"We shall have to continue this conversation at a later date."
"I look forward to it," she replies.
Buliwyf signalled to the group to quicken their pace.
Kira finshed up what she was doing and mounted her horse, ready to leave for the outpost.

"Well that is something we shall have to remedy."Buliwyf quipped.
"Haha, I have no doubt that my adventures are going to be numerous with this group," she replied.
"I have no doubt they will be proud of what you acomplish." said Buliwyf.
Kira thought about this and replied, "I really hope they are."
Kira then asks, "What about you, was your life always this exciting?"
She starts helping to load up the other horses while listening to Buliwyf.

Kira walks away from the the supply wagon and heads over towards the horses where Buliwyf is, as she approaches she sets her bag down and pats her horse.
"Kira." Buliwyf said. "I prithee, We have traveled a short while, and yet we know next to nothing of each other."
Kira smiles at Buliwyf?s statement, "My story is a simple one, unlike you or your brother, I have not had many adventures."
She grabs up her bag and starts securing it on her horse. "I grew up training to be a warrior, at the end of most days I would go down to the coast and wonder about the world beyond. Luckily I was offered the task to aid in the protection of one of our trading ships and I took the job with the blessing of my family."
She checks to make sure all straps are tight and continues her tale. "During my travels I had heard tales of your group, helping to right wrongs done to good people, and decided to seek you out. I thought long about my duties on-board the ship and when we finally came to the port near where you were. Once again luck was on my side, a family friend was boarding and could fill in my position so the boat would not be without defenses."
Kira starts shuffling her feet, thinking of her parents. "I fear my parents are not happy about my decision but hopefully they take to heart that I am helping those in need."
She pats her bags one last time making sure nothing is loose, as Buliwyf ponders her tale.

Kira secures her weapons tighter to her body to prevent any noise from issuing out, while also making sure everything is readily available.
"Alright Buliwyf, Let's go kill some soldiers for our disguises."
"I am ready as well Buliwyf."

The portion that moves along the river will need to be small so as to move undetected, they will need to be quick of feet, and travel light."
"I will attack the western gate along with Viktor. I am light on my feet and can hit them from far or close, whichever will get us there undetected."
