The figure escapes from the shallow hole it had been trapped in and flails about uselessly for a minute or so. She sees strands of golden hair from gaps in the cloak but hears and sees nothing else as the evening sky sets.

Leona got out of her tree and rank forward. She guessed that it was one of the girls. "Keep still," she whispered. "Let me see if I can help."

As she climbs out of the tree, she heads toward the struggling figure, and as she calls out in reassurance a shadow falls over her as someone jumps from the branches overhead...
Ambush: 87
Leona dodges at the last moment as a spear slams next to her on the ground and the man holding it grins with shiny teeth as the fight begins!

Leona: 86 Mbwe: 91
The two party and dodge each others' attacks as the darkness grows deeper. Leona's arms feel like lead weights, every block harder than the last.

Leona: 91 Mbwe: 51 (-20)
Leona pants and feints, and when the young man overreacts her steel pierces his side, just below his heart.

Leona: 56 Mbwe: 73
The young man overpowers Leona temporarily and he slides behind her with a coarse rope going around her neck to try choking her out.

Marlow grins and lowers his hammer, waving at Kurts. "Good to see I'm not the only survivor. Been running by myself for a while." "Back to where we started it seems," Kurts remarked, greeting Marlow. "Should see if we can track down one of those highborn cunts."

"There are sails to the north, if you're more interested in those. They bear the golden kraken of House Greyson on them. No doubt we can find our way out of here with them." Marlow shrugs and pauses for a second. "There is more cunny in the world to be found."

"Would be better off with the cannibals than we would with reavers," Kurts remarked, heading back outside and looking for feminine footprints to pick up a trail as he spoke. "So eager to mine for iron the rest of your life as a thrall?"

Kirts sees footprints mixed in with the natives' heading east. He can count evidence of two women at least, although the natives had u=had a few female warriors themselves. The nearest landmark to the east had been a hill about four miles away, visible from the tower he had been in.

Leona: 103 Mbwe: 65
Leona finishes the man off. Exhaustion is overcoming her as she cuts the bound Lara free.

"So eager to mine for iron the rest of your life as a thrall?" (Survival 70) "I've spent plenty of time before as a thrall, going back isn't in my interests. Still, it's our best chance of survival. We might be able to lead the cannibals to the reavers and stay out of the way."

Leona ran to help Lara, frantically trying to undo the knots.
"Are you hurt?"

"Yea," she grumbled as the cloak came off and the rope undone. Lara has been beaten pretty badly but she looks about. "I got caught on a fucking hole and they caught me." She looked stunned. "You...you killed all four of them?"

Leona shook her head. "There was just one, I hope.." She looked around anxiously, then realisation hit her. "Oh, you meant before? I shot one with an arrow, and killed two more after that. I suppose I did kill them all." She let out a nervous giggle. "Come on, we have to find safety. We can't stay here."
