Styx did not like being hurt like that and focused his rage into his strike, plunging the magical dagger in the thick chest of the monster until the blade came out of the back. His hand was covered with blood and gore as the Skraug slid from the blade and landed with a thud on the ground.
Ersin and his partner Esa got to the pen holding the prisoners and opened the doors, giving them some desperately needed light. He could see the circle of a dozen warriors, women and men, that got broken by a woman in her late twenties, dressed in simple traveling clothes, that carried a unmistakable air of calm authority coming out of it. Right away a heavier set woman, came to her and tried to bring her back in the protective circle, and Ersin could sense Esa's sneer, getting the impression that second one was the child woman the avatar had encountered.
The smaller woman rejected the taller one protectiveness and approached the barely seen man.
You have our thanks then. My name is Anna. The Skraugs have taken more than half our group, have you seen them? We need to rescue them too.
With Luster guidance, the rest of the group came at the door of the prison, even Styx, his rage subsiding.
