Greg nodded in agreement. Looked like they each were agreed then. The man had at least been trailed, so there was no way they couldn't catch him now. Well there was if they didn't make haste. Guess he would take a slight point, knowing that the riders would end up in the league and likely Cameron in the rear with himself and Shiro serving as the center. He wasn't too fond of weapons since he was in the way of magic, running off and heading for where Bart pointed out.

'Bart looked over the axe before nodding to Shiro. For something picked up off of a whim, it was pretty well made. It was something he knew he wasn't quite ready to handle properly, but was something he knew he could look forward to using too now. Smiling for the first time in a long time properly.'
"Thanks. I'll use it wisely."
'Bart rode off first followed by Jin, each taking after Greg's lead. The Knight and the Soldier would follow suit afterward likely. Cameron and Shiro both would be needed for the fight ahead.'

*Shiro had nice taste in weaponry. Though he couldn't wield an axe, picking it up had benefited them in the future. The Hook Javelin, though was a difficult to wield weapon and hard to aim with for practically anyone, was something he would put to good use as well.*
"I'll put it to good use for the sake of everyone. Let us go."
*Heading off, Cameron made his way for the very same place pointed out previously by Bart. Though he'd be lagging behind, he knew that they could get answers from that pirate. So long as he got there before the fighting was all over, it was fine to him.*

Shiro merely gave a nod at the two. He had a feeling that they would be able to wield the weapons much more proficiently than he would be able to. With a twirl of his spear, he followed suit behind the others, moving quickly as the more lightweight style of his armor did not hinder or lumber his movements. He took care, however, to hang back just a slight bit to be near Cameron; it would be bad for them to be caught from behind with only the Knight to hold off their ambushers.

As they went into the forest, the place was quiet....too quiet even. Seemed like the person they were looking for might have done something again. For now they would have to fan out to find just who he was and what he was after for doing something like that. And thanks to Bart and Jin they also knew that whoever he was, he was working for someone else. The man who didn't seem quite.....'human' as phrased by Jin of the Sinful Blades might have been who had enlisted the pirate's help too. If so, they could possibly get hints on how to find this mysterious group.

Greg held his book under his right arm, able to cast quicker with his left. The spell was something that he wouldn't forget in his mind, the tome simply there to distract the person while he cast the spell in that simple instant. All it took was a moment to decide the course of a fight after all, even with luck being involved. So far there was no one in sight, walking cautiously, but knowing that the others were there to back him up while he could back them up too. Where and how deep did the pirate actually go in this place?

So far so good to say the least about the situation. Bart's axe was at the ready while Jin had his bow at the ready, a hand near his quiver to take loose some arrows to use. So far though they were right were they needed to be. Anyone with common sense wouldn't go into clearings if they wanted to escape. The pirate lacked common sense, so he would obviously hit up the clearing and report back to his people likely which was how they could and would nail him. All it took was for them to find the actual clearing before they could keep on going and bring an end to this already. No one would try to kill them and get away with it nor would they just go and do whatever they wanted to do.

The white lancer continued to move, his walk wary as the continued to traverse through the area. This was most likely where their target was going to be, considering the fact that Jin and Bart, who had known the person, seemed to think so; especially after the small 'chase'. Shiro had to wonder though, what was going to be in store for them. Fate was a fickle thing, and prone to more than the expected.

*If the person was smart, an ambush would be the best thing to do to them given that the pirate had an edge right now given he got here first. Hopefully he panicked and it didn't cross his mind to do such a thing. Either way from the looks of it, they had themselves a bit of time to stay on guard. Wherever he was, they'd find him sooner or later. He didn't have much to worry about at least either, especially since his partner was Shiro back in the rear. The two lancers were relatively fine against attackers so far, especially the ones sent at them so far.*

After walking for a bit, they could hear voices in the forest. One sounded similar to the loud voice that the pirate had when he had actually responded to their taunts before. Finally they came to find themselves at a clearing, the trees blocking out whoever he was talking to. If they wanted a clearer view, they'd have to risk heading out for a better view. Instead they could make out a few words similar to "I did what you told me to" and the like. Seems like he definitely was meeting with somebody who gave him orders.

"I believe we've found our quarry."[/size]
Greg kept his voice low, to make sure he wasn't heard. While he wanted to go out and see who he was talking to, a caster doing that wasn't the wisest of decisions. For now they could either eavesdrop on the conversation or by some off chance they would find a way to actually see who he was speaking to. For now though himself and Jin were likely set on standby so they could do a long range ambush if the others went out first. They were all close range fighters after all, so they needed to be closer to the enemy to actually attack him.

Bart nodded to Greg's words, Jin motioning with his hand the plan. He and Greg would remain in hiding for now while Cameron, Bart and Shiro would take point and check out the enemy and whoever they were meeting with. Bart nodded once more, watching the area so they didn't snap any twigs as he and his steed came out slowly, axe in hand as he watched about where they were. Either they would be spotted as soon as they came out or would have some sort of ambush advantage. It all depended on which angle that their target was facing at this point.

*It was time to move out then, moving slower than Bart had given he was chunkier and had heavier armor. Given Bart had an armored steed, he supposed they were on even ground when it came to this. Taking the Hook Javelin he received from Shiro in hand, ready to toss it at a target if he could. No way would he let this chance slip out of his hands that easily. The pirate wielded an axe meant for swords, so it made him an even easier target.*

Shiro stilled himself for a moment as their target came to view. Looked like it was time to go into action. The lancer moved quietly, a slight bit quicker than the others due to having lighter armor. He took great care in going about as silently as possible; he did not want to mess up the chance to take their prey down now.

"I'm certain you understand how important your role honestly is. Any mistakes will certainly cost you more dearly than you can comprehend."
It still wasn't clear who the pirate was speaking to, but whoever it was likely was in charge of the rest of the plot that was going on. As the pirate spoke for the most part in compliance to the words of whoever he was talking to, the same man spoke again, except this time with troubling news instead of any form of good news for the ragtag group.
"Speaking of mistakes, you seem to have forgotten to right the one from earlier. Take care of it now. I'll see you again after your work here is finished."
A magic glyph formed before the hidden man was gone, several more forming that signaled the summoning of the abominations from before. From the looks of it, their cover was blown and the fight was getting ready to start once more. Guess things around here could never go so easily in the end. Time to get this show on the road.

"And the fight is done. Surrender and answer us, now."
*Cameron had the weapon ready just in case the pirate tried something else. The man was still dangerous and being caught on unawares by him could mean the end of one of them. They had no clue who the hidden man was or what these abominations were, all he knew was that they obviously weren't good, and he had a grave distrust and disdain of these supernatural beings. And someone who could lead them closer to making certain more didn't appear would be a great boon.*
"If you simply comply with us, we can let you go with no further harm than already done. I'm certain we're all tired of this constant fighting between us now."

"Good work, everyone. Still, who is he working for?"
He couldn't say working with, the man feared whoever employed his work. He also had the underlying factor that he had for the most part been unscathed by the abominations enlisted as his allies in his fight against them. Whoever summoned them had control over a highly large number of them and possibly other brands of them, something he did not much approve of honestly. Cameron had asked the question, so it was up to him to comply. He didn't feel right aiding in tormenting an injured and defeated man, but this very same man held many lives over his own head should he not aid them in stopping whatever was happening here.

Jin made his way over, an arrow notched with bow to prepare a shot should the pirate attempt to run again. Bart was still nearby, getting off of his horse and heading over with axe in hand. He wasn't giving the option of another chance of the same man retreating yet again. Bart didn't say a word, instead leaving that up to Jin, his friend and partner after all.

Shiro kept quiet. For the most part, everyone had already covered anything he would have said. Would there have been a point in being redundant about it all? Not likely. So, with quiet movements, the lancer merely stood back and watched, on edge for anything that might pop out.

The pirate weighed his options, and obviously they weren't looking favorable for him. So he decided to do what any lovable cretin would when offered their life on a silver platter instead of being slain. He just decided to fess up whatever he knew on the fly and on the spot to make certain they didn't gut him for withholding information. He was nervous enough as is.
"Alright, alright, I give! My boss doesn't really go by name, all I got on him for a name I hear around him is 'Ridget Armos'. I doubt that's his name, but it's a name all the same! They just paid me to do my part so I got no clue what their goal is, money is money after all. I don't even know what the creatures are outside of tough little helpers! I'm more worried about those eerie looking people he has. They're always in the shadows with glowing eyes peering out at me."
He sort of literally meant they were around too. In the shadows of the trees were the same glowing eyes peering upon each of them. It looked over each of them before it faded afterward. Oddly it didn't try to do anything to the pirate, but it might later. That was what scared him the most. But better he go back and tell he got cornered than try and run. Then they'd really try to kill him.
