ELIZA (They watch quietly from a safe distance as the army straggles by. She thinks to herself, 'hmph, that's not so big,' but remembers that Bazguul can Summon demons to aid him, and that the men are probably just for mopping up. After the bulk of the army has passed, one drunk soldier follows at a distance, accompanied by a naked woman chained to his arm. He collapses in the road, and the woman looks around anxiously. She rides up and says to the woman) "Do you need aid? I am Eliza, Squire of the Order of the Radiant Heart."
WOMAN "Oh, yes, please help me. This brute has raped me and is going to keep me as his leman. I would be free of him, but, what can I do with this chain? I have no key."
ELIZA (grimly)"I see no problem, there." (She jumps off of her horse and cuts the man's hand off that the woman is manacled to.) "There, you are free, and the brute had it coming to him. Here, take this blanket and run." (She binds the man's stump and ties his wrists together.) "Now, my Lord, we have our prisoner and can be gone."
