Still, John has been more outnumbered than this before and survived. The real problem is managing the number of people so they aren't all on him and once, and... managing the rest of their party who can't defend themselves.
He's more likely to get himself killed rescuing someone than looking after himself, but that's... really a hazard of his day job as well.
The bright side, really, is that they have weapons! Perfect, he'd love some more weapons. One dagger wasn't really cutting it. He ducks out of the way as one of the bandits swings at him, grabs it to shield himself from another then calmly slits its throat and lets it drop -- reaching to grab the blade it was carrying as he slams himself into another. ]
Phoenix! If you're any good with that stick start using it!
[ The staff. If the staff does something, Phoenix, make it do that! ]
