"Look, I'm going to hope that you're the one group of people I've ever met who can listen to reason. I've killed larger groups of soldiers than you by myself, and right now I'm with a man carrying a fucking kanuut. Nobody can see you right now. Nobody will ever know if you just run. Even if you're the only one who runs, the others will be dead anyway. Go. This is your chance. I'll give you five seconds to make up your minds."
Start playing my flute.

You start playing your flute, as the men seem to feel uncertain, but then you feel a sharp pain in your leg as an arrow pierces you!
Archers have taken positions in small wooden watchtowers! They're firing at you!

"Fuck! Kilroy, attack!"
Pull out the arrow, and grip it tightly. Run, and quickly scramble up the closest watchtower, stabbing the archer in the face with the arrow, and slashing his throat with my dagger if that fails. Remember how I was intending to get a bow, and take his. Sling his quiver on my back, and jump down. Run for Kilroy as I fire at the other archers, moving in an erratic zig-zag.

You begin climbing the tower while Kilroy deals with the soldiers. As you climb the tower, you take several more painful arrow hits to your back from nearby towers! The archer in this tower quickly pulls out a knife, and seems to be waiting for you to get in range for a stab.

Suddenly throw my dagger at his face, and draw my sword. If he dodges, slash his throat while he's moving.

You get a solid hit with your thrown dagger. The archer falls over inside the tower, and you easily climb up the rest of the way to retrieve his gear.
This bow's quite plain, since it belongs to the city guard, but you guess you can get a better one later.

Take his dagger, too, for throwing, and get an idea, pissed off with myself for not getting it sooner. Remove the arrows from me, and turn into the bandit. Return to Kilroy, firing at the archers on my way.

You hit several archers, running back to Kilroy. He's mopped up nicely, and seems to have been awaiting your return.
"Nifty little thing you've got there," he says.

"I really should have got one sooner. I'll finally be fine against archers now, since I can fire back, and since wounds in this form won't affect my normal form. Also, good job here. Let's get moving."
Keep heading for the keep.

You move for the keep, entering the center of town. There's an elegant fountain in the middle of all of this, along with part of the housing district that you covered in that landslide on the western edge. The keep is dead ahead, but it seems you've got a fight with several court mages, first...

Call over to them.
"You picked a nice place to meet me. I wish the last place I saw before I died was this pleasant. Let's begin, shall we?"
Fire several arrows at them, while moving closer.

They magically deflect your arrows, while moving closer. It seems that there are five of these guys...they all wear snazzy-looking robes. It seems that the court wants these mages to look distinctive.
A magic spell comes flying at you, hitting the ground in front of you! That was close!

"Ren'yak ALTHOOR!"
Turn the one on the far left to stone, with enough magic for about twenty seconds on a normal person. Quickly move around the group, and grab him, trying to slam him into the ground hard enough to break his head off. Move away as quickly as possible.

You throw out a spell, but they're somehow able to counter it! It seems these guys are well-versed in their counter-magic.
You look down, noticing that the spell one of them threw out has manifested in a glowing rune formation...it's a good thing you didn't step on this.
"How should I go about this?" asks Kilroy, your kanuut still on his shoulders.

"Set the kanuut down and attack cautiously."
Get my bow out, and keep firing shots as I strafe, and move backwards, actually moving in such a way that they'll move close to the rune when they advance. When one of them gets close enough:
"MAYEI SHRUGA!"
Send a strong gust of wind to blow one of them into the rune.
