The explosion shook me out of my mind. Took me right back to then. For a moment I was reliving everything, all of it.
Aggma called me from the bottom of an ocean and I slowly pulled my head out. Looked around and quickly found that they were running off down the road. The others were trying to help the people here, but I told them we had to go now if we intended to catch them.
There was a scuffle. Three tried to get in our way. One tried to get away, but I caught him in the leg. During the fight Sett seemed to make a point of finishing them all off. Fine, I suppose, but not often worth it if others are still alive. The others seemed less than pleased with him. Also understandable.
Aggma healed the man I downed as I tied him up. When he came to I asked him where the took the money, he said he was meeting with a Maribel Thornbane in the swamp past Bistre Estate. I gagged him with a sock, tied him to the well, and head off leading the others to the stated location.
We crept along and found a carriage with three people. We decided not to bother trying to talk and just strike. It was hard fought. I saw Christopher go down, and at one point the cart was overturned as a horse fought against the reigns.
In the end we managed to make Maribel surrender. With a knife to her throat she knew she was beat.
That said: Christopher, Sett, even Oris a were badly hurt. We’ll need to lick our wounds.
