They were resting and eating rabbit. Gahoundan observed 3 were armored and armed the 4th was not quite as armed nor armored.

He had the advantage, he thought to himself. Closer he crept not making a sound. As soon as he got close enough he lunged and tried to swing at one of the armed men, but missed only to have all four of them attack each missing.

Gahoundan started his dance graceful maneuvers which allowed him to strike once, then twice in the time it took to swing once. The two swings one of the bandits barely parried and the other bandit sunk his dagger into Gahoundans back.

He swung and took the dagger using bandit down with ease the least armed one swung and missed earing Gahoundans wrath as he swung at him now. "Nooooooo" He screamed, but Gahoundan was merciless. He spun on the balls of he feet to parry another blow from a bandit reaching his sword out and just cutting the neck of the bandit.

The bandit could not breathe and choked on his own blood. The last man standing and perhaps the smartest ran for his life. He didn't get far for Gahoundan heaved his mighty sword which impaled the bandit ending his existence.

He searched for more bandits and found none. What he did find however flew him into a rage. It was a fenced in quarters, in which it seemed other people had been living in, and we're living in now.

He howled with rage, amd rushed in swinging at the gate guards and killing one. Then dodging and parrying, swung twice killing two more one. Then Gahoundan ran straight up and lept stabbing the massive man twice in each shoulder.

He roared "How dare you build upon our home land." He grabbed the man and broke his back over his knee. That left one more he ran to that one cutting off his head and speeding off to the giant housing.

Had his rage not been so deep he would have been half way home by now, but no. Gahoundan had to protect his people from these small vile creatures. Their way of life would forever be changed now that in this complex he will find the leader. He kicked the doors open with one mighty kick. The giant sat in his throne.

"I am the leader of this tribe you have so disturbed. Now may I ask why have you shaken the hornets nest? HOW DARE YOU KILL MY PEOPLE AND DARE TO ENTER MY HOME?" The giant yelled.

Gahoundan responded with the same amount of anger as the giant before him. "This is your home? NO THIS IS MY HOME, AND I WILL KILL YOU  AND ALL OF YOUR PEOPLE FOR THE DESECRATION AND THE INSULT OF MY HOME AND PEOPLE!"

The giant swung but Gahoundan was too fast. Gahoundan charged forward and slashed the giant's chest in retaliation. The giant swung his club at Gahoundan who stood unphased by the swing. He rolled to evade the next one. As he got up, he swung at the club which was crashing down.

Gahoundans sword and the club locked. Giant's were known for their strength but Gahoundan was stronger than this hill giant. He tossed the weapons aside and ripped his sword out of the hill giants club. Gahoundan flew into a rage and perfected his dance for a second swinging 3 times in the time it took to swing once. First sliced the giant's leg, then the giant's club arm, finishing with a blow to the giant's head. His enemy collapsed to the ground dead.

Gahoundan sped off to flee the scene of chaos, but was stopped by the Bandit Chiefs guards weilding nice swords. Gahoundan could sense magic which only enraged him. He killed the fourth guard with a single swing and parried three blows with his great sword. Then quickly took out the first and second guards. After dodging third ones blow, he countered and killed him. Contuining his mad dash accross the camp.
