Commando Chipmunk08/26/2019 Maki: beginning to open eyes a little. Throws up.
ThatGuyOverThere08/26/2019 "There's a hidden cave not far from here. We'll be safe there." Ananias looks over his shoulder, but ignores the mess running down his back from Maki and keeps running.
Martyre Chevalier08/26/2019 They hear horses, three of them, their distance and trajectory unknown, hidden by the brush.
ThatGuyOverThere08/26/2019 Dr. Beakerson screeches to a halt when he see's Maki puking. He nearly steps into the mess on the ground. "Oh, come on! That's nasty!" Continues running.

ThatGuyOverThere08/26/2019 "Hurry let's go! The cave is only a few yards from here."
Martyre Chevalier08/26/2019 Riders hold their position, waiting for back-up, although they seem eager to charge. They keep them in line-of-sight.

Commando Chipmunk08/26/2019 Maki whispers loudly. "I remember you. If you hurt any of them, I'll tell this tree to impale you." Goes invisible again.
ThatGuyOverThere08/26/2019 Ananias is perplexed. "What are you talking about?"
Martyre Chevalier08/26/2019 [Enemy] punches Tovian with an armored fist. Sukoshi passes through the brush, and begins hearing the sounds of a skirmish, horses, swords. Through the bushes, he sees mounted and dismounted knights, three in orange, five in blue.

Commando Chipmunk08/26/2019 Maki: Voice comes from somewhere in another tree nearby. "You kill people."
ThatGuyOverThere08/26/2019 Ananias's face becomes tense when she says this. Though he knows he has killed many people in the past, he's unsure if he remembers having an encounter with this particular elf before.

ThatGuyOverThere08/26/2019 Ananias looks about the trees for a moment and decides to leave the matter alone for now. He had to help Sukoshi and Tovian fight off the knights. "Her invisibility will keep her safe for now." He tells himself. Her words make him rather uneasy though.
Commando Chipmunk08/26/2019 Maki: Waits in silence, hearing the battle. She watches him leave, and wonders if she should try helping them again. Climbs down from tree and sneaks into cave instead.

Martyre Chevalier08/26/2019 The remaining blue knights scurry off, and the remaining two Orange Knight's disengage, aiming their weapons at Sukoshi, unsure of his allegiance. [Tovian's enemy] knight chokes until he goes limp.

Commando Chipmunk08/26/2019 Maki: Races over to Beakerson. "There's a man out there, he's dangerous, he hurt one of my friends once, and killed an innocent prisoner, we've got to get out of there before he and the others come back!"
ThatGuyOverThere08/26/2019 "Whoa, whoa, slow down there, Maki! What are you talking about? The Blue knights?"
Commando Chipmunk08/26/2019 "NO, the other guy, but we should get away from the blue knights too. O-O I'll make a distraction, you run with Squire!"
ThatGuyOverThere08/26/2019 Beakerson isn't sure what to make of Maki's words. "I admit Sukoshi looks a little funny, but I don't think he's going to harm us. Besides, Andy told us to hide in here."
Commando Chipmunk08/26/2019 Maki blinks, confused too now. "Sukoshi? Whaddya mean? Of course she's okay! I mean the OTHER GUY."
ThatGuyOverThere08/26/2019 "You know Sukoshi is a he right? And in case you hadn't noticed the whole group is guys except you and Squire, so you might want to be more specific."

"YOU HAVE NO IDEA, what I've been through, I've died twice, I've failed 'cause Pale is already
taking the kingdoms and Baldwin is actually bad and I miss my family and I want to go home and I can't control my
fire powers and--AND--AND---" Stops and just stands there. Gut roar sobs.
ThatGuyOverThere08/26/2019 Beakerson moves next to Maki. "Hey there now, what's gotten into you?" Gives her a handkerchief. "I'm sorry you've had to go through all that, but what about that guy you were talking about? One moment your saying he's dangerous and now your balling your eyes out. Are feeling alright?"
Commando Chipmunk08/26/2019 Maki: NO.
ThatGuyOverThere08/26/2019 Beakerson throws up his hands. "Okay, sorry I asked."
Outside...
Martyre Chevalier08/26/2019 "Lead the way!" Hears Maki. "Good graces, are we cursed to have crying women blow our cover!?"
little song08/26/2019 Sighs. Picks up Squire and heads to the cave.

Martyre Chevalier08/26/2019 "I am Sir Francis, you were in Guiscard's company? Proud to meet you." Helps him up. Arnol: "We have horses, use them."

little song08/26/2019 [To Arnol] "I just want to know what’s going on. Talk first then we can fight. It’s not like he’s leaving."
ThatGuyOverThere08/26/2019 Ananias backs away a couple of steps. "I assure everyone here that I'm not here to hurt anyone."
little song08/26/2019 [To Maki] "Also that’s a weird question. I’m small so it happens but just... seriously?"
ThatGuyOverThere08/26/2019 "Everyone, let's all take a giant chill pill and explain why you all want to kill my friend?" Beakerson says.
Martyre Chevalier08/26/2019 Arnol blocks the exit, hand on weapon.
Commando Chipmunk08/26/2019 Maki: "IF She's a GUY, then I'm NEVER trusting anyone again." O-O
Martyre Chevalier08/26/2019 Arnol: "Kokkan, this man is a trained killer, a deceiver. "Show him Humphrey!"

Martyre Chevalier08/26/2019 "No more talk! Leave! Right now!" Grips sword tighter. Francis comes by the cave, leading horses. He sees what his commander is doing, and draws his flintlock.
ThatGuyOverThere08/26/2019 "Will everyone just calm down?" Beakerson says. "Andy isn't that kind of guy anymore. In fact he's a very good friend of mine."

ThatGuyOverThere08/26/2019 "Who you calling stupid?"

Martyre Chevalier08/26/2019 Arnol looks at Beakerson sternly, asking the same question
ThatGuyOverThere08/26/2019 "Yes I was. Not sure why Baldwin took Kashi as his prisoner while letting us all go free."
Martyre Chevalier08/26/2019 Arnol's eyes swing to Sukoshi. Adelaide, who is with Humphrey on the far end, speaks up, but choking back tears. "I saw the whole thing." "There was a battle, so I sort of saw what happened I mean.
ThatGuyOverThere08/26/2019 "Baldwin did have a message for us to deliver to our hometowns."
Martyre Chevalier08/26/2019 Adelaide: "But Baldwin...I was in camp...his men tramped through the woods, laid siege- "Then they killed, and I had to kill, my brothers, I had to kill my brothers. W-why Baldwin though!?" Arnol: "Today I've killed men I trained with. These fanatics have Guiscard, and your sister it seems...they are not safe."

ThatGuyOverThere08/26/2019 Ananias: "I suspect Baldwin has your sister only because he's confused her with you. Which means we must move quickly before he sends her back to Kokka."
little song08/26/2019 "... it’s my fault..." Swallows and goes silent.
Martyre Chevalier08/26/2019 Arnol: Deal with it...in the way you know best. No guilt. Let the pain tell you have an error, and seek to correct it.
