"How many more of these creatures will come?" Rave shouted while fighting off one of the men. Every time it seemed that they would be winning, more and more wild men would come out of hiding in the woods. She watched Ranger and Calimir out of the corner of her eyes as they continued to fight.
Dodging a blow to the head, Rave ducked and struck her foe in the stomach with her sword. Breathing heavily, she moved on to another. The number of wild men gradually began to decrease, but the remaining few fought back horridly. From her sight, Ranger seemed to be doing quite well. He was knocking one down on his left while cutting the one on his right with his sword.
Rave could not see what Calimir seemed to be doing at the time, but she guessed he was winning against his own foe due to the large amount of screams being heard from the wild men. Rave fought on killing one more by slitting his throat. She brought another one to a quick demise and noticed that all had been fought off except for one man that Calimir was fighting off.
As Rave joined Ranger, Calimir struck his enemy down and walked over as well.
"Shall we return then?" Calimir said trying to catch his breath. "I'm sure Turthôl has found Wren by now."
"But what if he was attacked as well?" Rave replied. "Who knows what sort of state he could be in right now...not to mention Wren."
Ranger looked at them both and took a deep breath. "Why don't we just head back to camp." he said. "If they haven't returned yet, then we'll go look for them. But there's no need searching now if we don't even know if they are alright or not."
Rave nodded her head and followed Calimir and Ranger back to camp. Hopefully Wren's rescue had been successful.
