Medea
The Shadow Queen
"We take them out silently."
Two of the bandits were standing guard next to each other at the entrance to the camp, while one was on watch in a lookout tower. The two near the entrance were talking to each other. If Cassandra and Tinkles acted swiftly they could take them out unnoticed. "I'll take care of the two near the entrance, you climb the tower and take care of the lookout. We have to act simultaneously, so they are not alerted."
Cassandra crept behind some nearby brush and got into position, just 15 feet away from the gate guards, making sure to remain completely still. She watched Tinkles slowly and stealthily walk up the wooden staircase of the lookout tower, thankful that the gate guards did not see her approach. "I wish I would've learned to use a bow", Cassandra thought to herself. Archery was one skill she neglected, and in a situation like this, a good shot could take out these sentries much easier.
Waiting until the last moment, when Tinkles was just close enough to eliminate the lookout, Cassandra made her move. Pulling her dagger from her boot, she threw it into the throat of the guard that was furthest away from her position and facing her. He fell to his knees, making a nauseating gurgling sound as he struggled to pull the dagger from his neck. The other bandit had her back to Cassandra, and all she could manage was a "huh?" before Cassandra's ring blade planted deep into the right side of her skull, nearly cleaving it in two. Cassandra quickly pounced on the bandit that was still dying, and finished the job, pulling her dagger out along with his esophagus. Cassandra was unsatisfied. She wanted to inflict more pain....more suffering, but in a situation like this she could not afford to toy with her prey.
As she dragged the bodies away from the camp's entrance, she looked up to the tower, hopeful that Tinkles had eliminated her target as well...
