Orion skirted the shadows of Bucket Town, scanning through the small groups of people, looking for Eli. Orion didn't have anything against the man personally, but someone had payed him big to teach him a lesson, and he was going to teach.

There he was, Orion saw him. Then he remembered something; Eli might not have been strong, but he was smart and tended to notice things. He thought better of engaging him in the middle of the street. Orion glanced around and ducked in a nearby alleyway. Walking backwards into the shade, knowing full well that the difference in lighting would throw off anyone looking down the alleyway.

"Come on Eli, I'm waiting."
he thought as he aimed his crossbow out into the street.

((Just for fun. No rewards or lasting effect on the characters.))

The sun was just starting to fall, and it was a comfortable, almost chilly, afternoon. Eli was thinking about renting a room at the tavern or in the Trappers Trek. He'd never actually owned a home, and he'd never really seriously thought about it. He always pushed those things into a 'later' section of his head. Somehow, things would work out just right, and he could fin himself in a relaxed, early retirment.

He wandered through town towards the vague location of the Trappers Trek. This town was playing tricks on him. He'd been there without incident for far longer then he had been almost anywhere else, and it was starting to make him less observant or careful of his surroundings. Eli briskley walked down a back-bending street, flicking a spent cigarette, little more then an ember, into a darkened alley.

The tiny amount of light it generated had an odd effect of making it appear as though there was a figure standing in the bleak space between ramshackle houses. Eli paused to give it a closer look.

"Where is he?" Orion thought, becoming aggravated at how long it was taking Eli to walk past. Then, not a moment after he thought that, Eli appeared, and not only did he appeared, but he actually stopped and looked down the alleyway.

Orion wasn't taking any chances on Eli seeing him, he fired his crossbow and took off further down the alleyway and around a corner, he reloaded his crossbow and turned to face the corner, lowering himself into a more stable firing position.

Eli's glance was met with a fast-flying projectile. It missed him narrowly. Extremly narrowly, so much so that Eli could actually feel the wind coming off of the bolt. In front of him, he heard a mad surge of footsteps reseading. Eli glanced quickly down the alleyway, then stpped back and retrived the bolt he had luckily avoided. He didn't recognaize it, but it wasn't as if he expected something so pedestrian as ammo to give away who had just tried to kill him. He did know, however, that his opponent was using a crossbow. And that meant long reloads.

He sprinted down the alley, unholstering his crackopen as he went. Lighting up a molotov in the middle of town would be a very untactful move. Eli lost the sound of the unseen attackers footprints suddenly, and wondered if maybe he had ditched Eli and left it at that. Eli quickly rounded a corner only to see the assassian again crouched and ready to fire. Eli jumped out of the intersection as quickly as possible, blindfiring around the corner.

Eli came dashing round the corner, probably expecting something other than seeing Orion crouching only a few feet in front of him, aiming the crossbow at him. He saw Orion before he could react, Eli flipped out and jumped back the way he came. He then fired blindly around the corner.

Orion threw himself to the ground, most of the shots hit the walls above him, but one came dangerously close to killing him, the bullet hit one of the walls and then ricocheted and grazed his left forearm, it wasn't bad, but it was going to make him take slightly longer to reload. Normally that wouldn't be a problem, since the crossbow was all he ever used he had learned a few tricks to quicker reloading, but regardless of his skill, that wound was going to make things harder.

He got back into a crouch and pulled out his last stun grenade and pulled the pinm "One... two... three!" he counted in his mind before tossing the grenade around the corner.

A grenade came bouncing around the corner, coming to rest sinisterly on the ground. Obviously, there wasn't much reason to hold back with the explosives now. Eli ripped a mine out from it's holding place in the back of his belt and threw it frisbee style towards the corner. It just barely curved enough to make it around the bend, and Eli focused on getting as much distance as possible between him and the grenade.

The grenade exploded with a deafining pop, and Eli's eyes burned white. Flashbangs always seemed to have a worse effect on him then they did on other people, but that might have been due to Eli's heavily reliance on his senses over muscle memory or physical ability. The dark alley was still frozen in a bright white, and Eli backpetaled blindly.

Not more than a second after his grenade bounced around the corner, did Orion hear a 'tink' 'tink' 'thud' himself, he couldn't really see what it was, but if it was a grenade, he was dead. He relflexivly covered his head, waiting for the explosion... except there was none. He thought about it for a moment... if it wasn't a grenade, what was it? He wasn't to sure but he could see the area leading back around the corner and there was nothing laying there. He crawled back to his feet, making sure not to hit whatever may have been in front of him.

He braced himself between the two buildings the made the alleyway and swung over into the intersection. Nothing. That was good, of course, it was made even better by the fact that Eli was stumbling around like a baffon in the middle of the street. He raised his crossbow, took aim, and fired... only to have it make a thudding noise and for the bolt to hit the ground a few feet in front of him ((You and your Jinxed)). He reloaded it and fired again, only to get the same result.

That was getting him nowhere. He removed the crossbow and reached for two of his bolts out of his quiver, with one in either hand he ran out of the alleyway toward Eli.

By the time Eli began to regain his composure, the attacker was nearly upon him. That was definately a bad thing, judging by their encounter so far. Eli was in need of a reload, and he obviously wouldn't get the chance with his enemy baring down on him. He thought quickly. He needed to order himself some breathing room. Then he could find an alley or a crowd to hide in and regroup.

Eli pulled out his cleaver with his off hand, slashing in the vague direction of the enemy while looking for a possible escape route. He tried to make himself off to be a confident melee fighter, although he didn't know if he was convinving at all. "I'm gonna cut you up now you fucker. You ran in close with the wrong guy!" He still scanned for a way to get distance between him and the attacker. He didn't want things to get close or personal.

Orion stopped and smiled, Eli's bluff might have worked on some other goon, but not on Orion. Orion knew that Eli wasn't the strongest or the fastest person on the block... although he could have figured that out even if he hadn't know him. Orion watched for a moment as he swung his cleaver wildly, trying to see if there was any pattern to it, unfortuantely it didn't seem as if there was one.

Orion looked at either of his bolts, seeign as he couldn't tell which one was sharper he just decided to throw the one in his off hand. Orion chucked the left bolt at Eli, not trying to hurt him, just throw him off and gain an opening. Orion leaped forward just a second behind the bolt, hopeing for an opening.

The other man looked almost like someone Eli had known before. Now that he was out of the dim alley, Eli got a slightly better look at him, but not much. The man threw one of his bolts and Eli just barely managed to whip it off to the side with the flat of his cleaver. At the end of his swing, Eli's arm was fully extended and off to the side.

His timing was horrible. The man had jumped at him almost immediatly after he had made his swing, and now he was slmost on top of him. Eli seriously needed to become better aquainted with close combat.
