Prologue: Troubles at Red Larch.

Taking a solid hit, Keavan recoils away from Grum for a moment, then stands straight again, a grim look on his face.

With Falka and Yohna seemingly engaged with the lone bandit to the south, and Midnight there as well should the need arise, Breezy elects to join his new comrades in dealing with this Grum creature. He had seen the devastation wrought by the beast and it needed to stop; right now.

Quickly hopping over the wall, Breezy runs down the tunnel to where Keavan and Vardo are engaging the creature.

Vardo registers the flurry of back and forth between his friend and the Bandit leader. Seeing his opponent tied up, he unleashes his arrow in a vicious sneak attack.

Vardo leans to his right, sighting past Keavan's shoulder and fires. His arrow whistles past his friend's ear and buries itself in Grum's eye socket. The bandit gives a short sharp gasp, falls to his knees, and pitches forward - dead.

Vardo calmly strolls over to stand over his kill. Looking down at the villain he says, "That's for making me bleed my own blood." With a wet shlunk, he pulls his arrow from the creature's skull and returns it to his quiver.

He then turns to Keavan, "You ok?"

"I have had worse." Keavan shrugs.
"we should make sure we have got them all."

Vardo nods and follows Keavan back to the main room.

Arriving in the aftermath, Breezy eyes Vardo with awe and admiration. "Falka isss engaged with one back there. I will watch here for othersss. Do you require healing? he looks at both Vardo and Keavan.

After helping his comrades, Breezy investigates the chamber they are in.

"Give the healing to Vardo, he probably needs it more."

"Keavan! Vardo, is he okay? Breezy!" Midnight hops over the wall and runs down the corridor out of concern for her friends, not really considering the danger that might still remain. When she rounds the bend and sees the big orc dead, she breathes a sigh of relief and hugs Keavan around the knees. "Vardo, you got him! Yeah!"

Vardo smiles at the concerns shown for him and Keavan by the diminutive wizardess. "We got him," he corrects with a smile. "Let's check on our friends," he adds while quickly moving back toward the main room, "there'll be time for celebrating later."

Yesss. Falka ssstill battlesss one below. Breezy chimes in, turning to head back.
