Chapter 64 - Chapter 64 Bandit Camp

As Thomas walked into the bandits camp he walked up to the gate and knocked as he asked "Anyone home?" After waiting for a few seconds a man looked over the wall and at Thomas as he shouted "State your business!" Thomas looked up at the man as he said "I'm here to free the people you've been kidnapping." The man stared at Thomas as he said "Very funny, if your just gonna go around joking you might as well get lost!" Thomas looked back at the gate as he put his hand on it and shouted "Blaze!" As Thomas blasted a hole through the door the man began to sound a bell as Thomas mumbled "That bastard didn't believe me?" After burning a hole that Thomas could fit through he walked in and mumbled "If I was kidnapped where would they put me?" As Thomas stood their looking at all of the poorly made building he noticed one that looked sturdier than the rest and started to walk towards it. While walking towards it six bandits appeared on the walls holding bows and muskets. Thomas stopped moving as he looked at each of them they shouted "Surrender and we will let you live." Thomas sat down and started to weigh his options as he mumbled "On one hand I surrender while they take me prisoner and then I can break out with the others or I can keep my pride and fight through them." After thinking for a while the bandits began to close in on Thomas as he stood up and shouted "I've decided." All of the bandits stopped and stared at him as he put his hands out in front of himself as he said "I give." As one of the bandits approached they grabbed some rope and walked up to Thomas. As the bandit attempted to tie him up he smiled and raised his hands and bashed the bandit in the back of the head as he shouted "I can't remember much but I can remember my pride!" As the bandit Thomas hit laid their motionless another bandit yelled "That useless pride is gonna get you killed!" Thomas glanced at him as he shouted "I don't got much else so I'm willing to die for it!" The bandits began to march towards him as they said "Let's put that to the test." Thomas began to back up towards the building as he look at the six people still on the walls with bows and muskets as they aimed at him. As the bandits began to close the distance Thomas put his hand on the ground and shouted blaze sending the flames in every direction. As the flames appeared they all shielded their eyes as Thomas jumped into some bushes and hid as he mumbled "Not my proudest moment." As the flames dispersed the bandits looked back at what was now just a burnt patch of soil. As Thomas he noticed that he burnt himself since he activated the flames in such a wide range. As he sat in the bush he waited for all of the bandits to disperse from the area as they searched for him. Once the bandits all left the area Thomas snuck around the walls as he made his way to the door and into the building. Once inside Thomas walked up behind a bandit with a musket as he mumbled "Why couldn't they all just use normal weapons I can easily avoid?" Thomas stared at the bandit as he tapped him on the shoulder and waited for him to turn around. As the bandit faced Thomas he aimed his musket at Thomas's face as he said "I've got you now." Thomas stared at him as he grabbed the gun and pulled him closer as he head butted him and mumbled "Why couldn't he have just been cooperative and shown me where the prisoners were?" Thomas bent down to the bandit as he slapped him in the face and said "Wake up." After doing this three more times Thomas gave up and continued to walk through the bandits camp. While he walked through he seen three bandits sitting at the end of a hallway with a musket and two swords. Thomas stared at them from the other end of the hall as he mumbled "Damn my moral compass, I couldn't have just stayed at the inn, no I had to go save the inn keepers daughter." As Thomas walked into the hall they all turned and stared at him as he aimed the musket at them and shot the other man who had a musket directly in the shoulder. As he fell to the ground Thomas threw the musket at the other two knocking one to the ground as he jumped into the air and kicking the other in the head. As Thomas walked over to the two laying on the ground he asked "So witch one of you wanna show me where you keep the prisoners?" As he walked closer and closer to them the one Thomas shot in the arm shouted "Why would we help you?" As Thomas walked closer to him he grabbed the unharmed man by the throat and said "Water bolt." As he let go of his throat the bandit with the injured shoulder watched as blood flowed onto the ground as Thomas walked toward him and said "If you help me you might get to live." The bandit sat their on the floor holding his shoulder as he panicked and shouted "I'll do what you want!" Thomas smiled as he said "See this makes things a lot easier for me and you." As the man stood up he began to lead the way to the cells while holding his still bleeding shoulder as Thomas mumbled "How the hell didn't anyway hear that shot?" As the bandit stopped moving he pointed to some cells as he said "If your looking for people their most likely here." Thomas began to peek into each of the cells as he seen that they were all empty he turned to the bandit he had shot in the shoulder as he hit the wall and said "Their not here." The man stared at Thomas frightened as he said "If their not here we probably executed them." Thomas glanced at the man as one of his eyes changed red as he hit the wall once more and made a hole in it as he shouted "You killed them?" The man began to back away as he said "I don't know what the others did with them they were here earlier." Thomas stared at the man as he said "Revenge ain't my thing but I suppose I can avenge them." Thomas stared at the man as he began to walk towards him the bandit fell to the ground and began to beg for his life as Thomas said "Give me the dagger you've been hiding." The man glanced at his pocket as he quickly reached into it and gave it to Thomas as he said "I did what you want please don't kill me." Thomas turned around as he said "I'm not gonna kill you we had a deal, however your buddies aren't too lucky." As Thomas began to walk further into the bandit camp he said "You might wanna leave if you wanna live." The bandit stood up as he said "Your insane, your gonna fight all the bandits in this camp?" Thomas continued to walk further into the camp as the bandit began to run for the exit as he shouted "Your insane!" As the bandit ran outside he fell to the ground and looked up as he was greeted by twenty to thirty other bandits staring at him as he laid their in the dirt. As the bandit held his arm he stood up as he shouted "The guy who broke into our base has gone insane and now he's trying to kill us all!" The bandits began laughing as they shouted "He thinks he can kill us all!" The bandit fell to the ground as he said "He's gone mad since we've killed the prisoners." The other bandits stared at him as he said "We didn't kill the prisoners we had them moved to the basement under the bar." The bandits began to laugh as they said "If he can't even get trustable information I doubt he can take on about a hundred of us." As Thomas walked further into the camp his other eye began to slowly turn red as he slapped himself and mumbled "I can't lose my cool completely." As the eye continued to turn red Thomas slammed his head into a wall as it began to bleed he shouted "Calm down damnit!" As Thomas continued to walk through the bandit camp he was beginning to leave a blood trail as it dropped off of his head and onto the ground. While Thomas walked deeper and deeper into the bandit camp he heard a door slam open from where he had come from and dozens of people stomping as they got closer and closer to him.
