Pandaros
Pandaros took a few steps before he noticed the pain lancing through his side. He pressed a hand to it and then looked down in shock at the blood.
"What in the hells..."
He stepped quickly to the side, his sword on guard, but stopped moving when he realized there were no projectiles on the ground.
"So I'm not being shot at."
He then looked at the person nearest to him, and his eyes grew wide at the sight of blood on Kasimno's sword. The young man didn't even seem to be looking in his direction, yet he had attacked Pandaros without warning or provocation. Pandaros needed only a moment to decide on his next course of action. He took off at a run towards the inn, pausing to shout "Ambush!" to Sever as he reached the spot where he had planted two arrows. His sword was sheathed and arrow drawn in a smooth, practiced motion. He took a bead on Kasimno but did not fire, instead waiting to see just how many more assassins were planted around him.
"Mage, two guards, another stranger with them, and Kasimno," he counted off the people left in the square, ready to fire on whoever approached, drew a weapon, or prepared to cast a spell.
"Why am I trusting Sever?" he muttered to himself. Suddenly wary of everyone in this town, Pandaros began a careful retreat away from the square, arrow ready, hoping trouble would not follow him as he headed towards the city gates, where he would direct the remaining guards to the disaster in the square.
