continuing from In The Vale


two people ahead are struggling with a broken handcart... or are they?

Christine will suggest Chris put down his burden and move forward with shield to talk to them...unless someone suggests a reason for not.

She herself will remain defensive...how far away are they?

Ginger says, "Ambush! Moss-covered handcart; this is an ambush!" as he equips his shield and takes a diagonal pace closer to the cart (so now 6 yards away).

With a wide-eyed glance at each other, the sisters move into a well-practiced formation three yards apart (so they can protect each other from assailants who close inside their whips' reach), and ready their spiked whips and shields.

On hearing about the ambush, Christine calls Chris to cover her...and draw his pick. Christine will cast a spell...that works badly!

Masugatan draws his Butcher’s Blade and flicks his tongue at the handcart-pushers in a challenging manner.

Emma steps up to put her back to Christines, so neither can be attacked from behind, as she looks for the hidden ambush, which she will point out to Christine.
