Combat will be initiated now, Dareal gets to react to the sound of the shotgun blast like everyone else, but Link, Kenzie, and Kyle are locked in for right now
The sound of gunfire reminds Dareal of the time he saved the hoomans. Here, perhaps, was someone in need of aid.
As a hero, duty calls. He doesn't hesitate to follow Link to the barn, still clutching the turret under one arm as he makes his way over. The mutant wields the machete with the other hand, holding it aloft; the gore from the molerat stains the jagged metal.
