The remaining lancer sees an opportunity to knock his target out and potentially salvage this entire mess of an ambush.

Asuna takes 9 damage!

Asuna is downed!
And finally, after a hot minute of taking out the rest of his mates, he manages to knock Asuna into the dirt.

While still being in the middle of her allies.

He wasn't hired for his intelligence.

"Quickly, Ross! While she's down! We got our chance to move in!"
"Gil, you STILL want to take this chick on? She's not weak just because one of our guys got lucky and knocked her down! She just took half our guards out! Not to mention the rest of her friends are right THERE and they can HEAR US!"
"Oh come on, you're afraid to hit her because she's cute, aren't you? You're not going to get a date out of her, you know."
"No! What are you even.....! They don't need to know I can't get a damn date because of you! In any case, whether or not she's cute has no relevance to whether or not I want to continue messing with her and her friends!"

As it turns out, passing through enemies to hit them like Casper the Friendly Ghost gone mad and hitting them for all their worth:

a. Stings like hell.
b. Surprises the crap out of the poor schmuck you're about to suplex into the dirt like a jobber earning his paycheck.

Still works like a charm, though.

Serena does the one thing she's currently good for outside of party tricks and looking cute for two seconds before she opens her mouth.

Jarvis, meanwhile, provides a far more merciful fate for his target than the currently incredibly furious Asuna has in store.

He lands in the dirt, a shield-shaped welt pulsing painfully on his cheek. He'll feel that in the morning.

The lancer just stares at Keilee for two seconds.

Taking a punch to the face wasn't in the plan, granted, but the pay-off was so utterly worth it. The Revivian collapses to the ground, groaning and muttering something about preferring Leafa anyway before he joins the rest of his caravan in states of advanced traumatic unconsciousness.

The other soldiers around him are pretty rattled, but hold their ground. After all, there was a pay day to be had. The lancer down the back, the last one still standing who egged them on, however, seems noticeably less cocksure. Not enough to run away like his goblin friend just had, though; money was too great a motivation.

Like any aspiring world champion pro wrestler, Keith has to deal with any number of pretenders and wannabes to the throne, whether it be in Japan or in Generia. Only these ones are a little less lethally equipped; you've seen senior citizens with mobility frames do a lot more damage to you than these idiots have.

Meanwhile, Asuna spots one of the humans from earlier. Considering his appearance, he's likely a Revivian, and he was definitely one of the assholes who rounded up the others to kidnap her. It doesn't quite work out that way, however, as when he tries to rush at Asuna, making a grab at her, he is met with a very disappointed-seeming man in a Wiggler mask.

And boy does that turn out great for him.

The entire time, Karin's eyes were following William's swordplay, analysing and mentally taking notes. Whoever had taught him, he was really, really good at it.

Whatever comments she might have had about his appearance, she kept to herself. In any case, it was better than sitting around, being useless; she already knew what that felt like.

The enemies approached and one particular swordsman plunged through a hail of attacks from the others. Karin saw her opportunity to make herself of use.
"O-oh! Here goes nothing!"
F6, stabby stabby the swordsman

-snip-
The goblin swordsman just drops his sword right there....then picks it back up, rubbing the back of his head and stuffing it back in his scabbard. He seems rather relieved he isn't about to get his ass kicked.
"Look, man, I didn't even want to be part of this mess. I just wanted to get this job done, go home to my wife and kids, and get some rest for a while before I gotta go out and get more money for the kids. Putting them through school's expensive man.

'Sides, a couple of hundred rhea ain't worth getting locked up; those idiots forget that the reward's only for the actual person themselves walking into the church. They've been trying to boost attendance, what with the hundreds of different weirdo cults in that place, so they're doing anything and everything to try to get people in.

But....nobody ever listens to me in this group. I'm done with these assholes; the fat guy barely pays me anything. His older brother's cool though, wish he wasn't stuck with such a shitlord of a younger brother."

He tosses Jarvis a pouch.
"Here, something for your troubles. Not much, but I'm hard-up too."

He turns to Asuna, offering her a bit of a weak smile, primarily because she still terrified the living daylights out of him.
"Hey. I know it sucks, whatever your deal is, but it gets better, okay? My wife totally knows how you feel; she's always complaining about how some weird guys from Kaisei keep stalking her at the bakery. If you ever come by Methiant, feel free to stop by our bakery. I feel like you two'd get along pretty nicely."

The goblin leaves it away, leaving the fight entirely.
Item Get!
Acquired 200 Rhea!

Serena supports the time-tested strategy of letting all the meatshields deal with the big bad guys so her face can remain unharmed.

Keith, meanwhile, teaches the enemy that he wasn't called the Wolfhound back home for nothing.

Needless to say, that poor bastard knows exactly why and will no doubt get to ponder it further in his state of advanced unconsciousness.

Keilee, meanwhile, gets around to following suit and taking a leaf from Keith's book of utter domination.

And he'll take "Get A Faceful of Dirt By A Pacifistic Sheep Beastfolk Girl" for 500 rhea, Serena.

The goblin wizard who wanted to start this mess in the first place gets to see the goods close up. Right close up. As in, "close enough to shove a sword where the sun don't shine."

He doesn't get to finish that sentence.

As her latest opponent collapses, Asuna feels watched for a moment, a flicker of shining scales nearby. If she were to whip around for a moment to try to catch it, she doesn't find anything nearby. How odd.

The last man standing from that group appears to be the rather unfortunate goblin swordsman who's now staring at Asuna with intense dread, barely holding on to the sword in his hands. He seems amenable to a solution that doesn't involve him eating dirt.

The guards finally collide with you, and poor Keilee takes the brunt of the hit; looking like such a vulnerable little sheep, for lack of a better turn of phrase, isn't such a great idea right now.

They find out, very quickly, that vulnerable-looking doesn't at all translate to vulnerability, however, and take some serious backlash for their troubles.

Meanwhile, one of the enemy lancers decides to try his luck with the Wolfhound.

Surprisingly, he manages to almost keep up with Keith blow for blow. Seems the man must be into some of the underground puroresu rings.

The goblin swordsman from earlier hangs awkwardly behind his companions, his protests clearly ignored and so completely unable to really do much except defend himself from whatever's coming; from what you can see of him, he seems to be muttering to himself about his poor wife and kids. From up the road, you see the other group of guards coming to the aid of their besieged companions; given that you're cutting swathes through their numerically superior forces, they're not messing around with chivalry anymore. Guildernstern looks antsy.
"This....wasn't how this was supposed to go, Ross. Is this how it was supposed to go? This wasn't how this was supposed to go."
"Oh, I wonder why suddenly deciding to kidnap some random adventurer wasn't going to end well! If you thought with your head instead of your damn purse, we wouldn't BE in this situation, Gil!"
"Goblins gotta eat too, brother. And it's a wallet, not a purse!"
"You bought it at a women's boutique because it was seventy percent off, Gil, it's a purse!"

>A goddamn isekai?!<
Minato studies his options mentally. Gandiva wasn't coming to him right now. Gungnir was the nuclear option, but the enemy didn't look near weak enough to be finished off even by its pure power. Minato wasn't too bad at using Durandal, but one sword against a dozen arms wasn't going to do too much, not unless he could get close and cut something down. Too many hands, too many ways to block Minato's attacks, unless he could-

No. Not yet. He needed some time to set that up. It could, if it didn't end the fight, at LEAST do some serious damage, but that was a card he wasn't quite going to play yet.

For now, it was buying time. He'd turn this into a battle of attrition; this enemy was more powerful than Minato, but Minato could play the waiting game, bring him down to his knees, and then play that last card.

"You wanna see me get serious? No problem!"
3 Alterations to set the leftmost 2 to a 5. Activate Gleipnir to entangle the Bodhisattva's hands and arms. Sacrifice two weapons to extend the range, and as many as necessary to keep Minato out of range of the fists. Place Minato at an angle to attack from behind.
