He shivered as the water rose up to his waist, cold but not freezing, he took one final look back at the lantern toting creature as it stared at him from the bank and swam to deeper waters. ______ On the other bank, the shivering GFMC struggled to light a fire, his cold hands losing grip consistently on the piece of wood he was building friction on. "Please don't tell me that wood on this planet doesn't burn." Although no sooner had he said it than a thin trail of smoke rose from the kindling. As Tael's fire burned it had attracted the attention of a couple of bandits, after the laughter from seeing the man was stark naked they began discussing amongst themselves how best to package the individual, fetch since in their mind, he could easily fetch a high price in the arena or perhaps as a manservant to some rich aristocracy. "So, let's have your arms, don't want you making a break for it and getting yourself damaged." The slobbering male said "well at least their human" Tael thought "Better tie his legs too." His female counterpart said, as she itched herself. "And I am familiar with the language." "Stupid hag, we'd have to walk slower then, best to tie it around his neck." "not too bright though." "Just tie him up and shut your toothless maw." She said tossing her compatriot a length of roughly twisted rope. As the lumbering man reached out to Tael, whom they had not yet bothered to address directly, he soon felt his arm break as he touched Tael, enraged the man tried to draw his large sword from his back but, before he could Tael delivered several sharp jabs to his would be slavers' throat. The man clasped his neck and backed away coughing and sputtering as his female companion shoot a quick bolt from her crossbow at Tael. The bolt tore through Tael's arm, muscles contracting in a fruitless defense of the penetration. Yelling Tael charged the woman who was attempting to wind the crossbow for another shot. As he neared, she fumbled for a dagger in a band across her chest, Tael delivered a quick blow to her jaw before grabbing and burying the dagger into her chest. "You Bastard, I dun care about the money, you have to die." The brute said, having regained his breath and drawn his weapon. Tael held his bleeding arm, and bracing his foot against the dieing woman, pulled the dagger out to confront his other enemy. "Sorry about that, don't mean to pull out so soon." The brute let out an earsplitting yell as he charged forward, sword held high overhead, Tael through his body forward attacking the brute's center of gravity, then used the charge to throw him overhead with the brute yelling in confusion and fear and Tael yelling out in pain as the movement widened the wound from the crossbow bolt. With a thud the brute struck the ground and Tael fell to his knees, blood streaming from the gaping wound. the brute made no movements, he had been impaled on his own sword. Tael stumbled over to his fire, placing the dagger's blade into it. "Oh lucky me, field surgery."
