"''Fraid not lady. We don't care who you are or what you're capable of. So long as we can take a few of you down, that's more than enough for what we were hired for," the thief besides the now fallen knight responded. "Heck, stalling you here for as long as we have will probably be enough to get us all our pay. Our benefactor is probably already handling business elsewhere, while you all are stuck here having to get out of this place," the thief laughs.

"Well in fairness, I wasn't expecting to ferry a horse through a desert. I will admit it reminds me of the past somewhat though," Ecquis mentions, reminded of his time ferrying merchants through the desert. "Regardless, you could use some patching up, so I'll let our healer see to you. And mind that bolting magic, a stray hit could prove dangerous," Ecquis warns Renee as he drops her and her horse off in front of Maya and looks towards Cherry. "Cherry, mind your distance from that bolting magic. It's a heavy hitter. That being said, you did a fine job of evading it, but still be cautious," Ecquis warns the scavenger before deciding to see whether or not Cherry's earlier comments before the fight were accurate. Move to H13, drop off Renee on I13, canto to G17

"I'll do my best to hold them off for as long as possible. We'll be fine until you get back," Madante tried to reassure Cass with a halfhearted grin as he readied his sword. "As much as I'd like to not die, I doubt I can stay up for very much longer. All I'll say is that if you can't make something work after paving the way, I'll haunt you both from the grave," Helena laughs, coughing up some blood halfway through.

"Glad to see that you've decided to join us," Ecquis told Renee as he moved forward. "Though taking a quick glance, being near this many enemies could be problematic.
