His sword was in his calloused hands. His hands could be calloused, even in this digital world. They didn't return to a soft state, and he found that kind of odd. In real life he had never had calloused hands, not in his work, so this was a first, and he didn't quite like it. But he had to do anything he could to survive. He took a breath and closed his eyes. As Seeker he had certain powers available to him, but he wasn't quite sure what they were. He had only Wiki'd the books.
He'd been at this for hours, and wasn't going to stop anytime soon. If nothing else, he wanted to improve his swordplay, and maybe level up if he could. He needed to get stronger.

Harper struggled, screaming into the gag these bandits had tied into her mouth. Her dress was in tatters, leaving her naked for all intents and purposes, but that was an easy fix. She just had to get out of these bonds before these bandits did what they were clearly planning to do with her. Fortunately, they simply had her tied to a tree for the moment, and the four of them were arguing over who got to go first.

Something just felt wrong. He kept his sword in hand and started to run, following his instincts. He didn't know where they might take him, but it soon became apparent. He ran towards Harper and the bandits, sword tight in hand.

Harper saw someone approaching, and started screaming at him. The bandits noticed him too. They all drew their weapons and began to walk to meet him.

Liam spent no time thinking about it. He moved right to the first man and swung his sword to go for a kill, aiming for the throat.

The man brought his handaxe to bear, knocking the blade aside. Another man swung a cudgel for Liam's head, and a third swung another axe for the other side of his head. Harper's sword was out of reach, which annoyed her greatly. She kept struggling, but the ropes weren't giving any way.

The dance of death was with him. He moved with a deadly elegance, bringing his sword up to parry the steel of the other men. He kicked one back since he wasn't able to bring his blade to parry, and drove his sword for another's chest.

The man looked at the blade now jammed into his torso, and toppled over dead, dropping his cudgel. "He killed Daryl!" One remarked, before swinging his axe for Liam's head with a cry of anger.

He spun around and sidestepped, bringing his blade down at the man's wrist.

The man moved, only received a somewhat-deep gash on his wrist from the cut. His friend threw a rock at Liam's head, while he tried to swing at Liam's head again.

Liam took a hit, but drove his sword forward in an attempt to gut the man.

Another bandit fell to Liam's sword. The remaining two rushed him, one swinging an axe and one a sword at Liam with all the considerable strength they could muster. Wait, this guy looked kinda familiar. Harper stopped struggling to examine the guy fighting these bandits.

He wanted to end this quickly, so he thrust his sword up and drew a halo. As soon as the red glow overtook his body, a blast of fire escaped his hand for the two bandits.

They both stumbled back, pretty severely burned. Oh good god, it was Liam. Harper pulled her knees up to her chest, in an effort to maintain some modesty.

He lunged forward and swung in a wide arc, attempting to cut both down at once.
