The bandit struggled no more, but lay limp as his world crashed around him. He could not conceive that moments before, his absolute faith had sustained him since his conversion and he had been seemingly invincible in a invincible band of warriors - his brothers - and the world was at their feet for the taking. Now, he lay captive of the heathens and a sociopathic, cold hearted she-dog (OOC: Anyone know if the PG13 rating includes words like b*tch, does it?) who threatened to sever his manhood! What ill-fate had cursed him? His Lord must have forsaken him! Somehow, he must have failed! With that certain knowledge in mind, he gave way to despair and broke down, staring blanking ahead - awaiting - hoping for - the certain death that would surely follow...

Isokla

It seemed that their intrepid leader had given chase, the girl thought as she took a quick, yet concealed glance over her shoulder through her peripheral vision at the slight sound of Ydalon dashing after her. She did not respond however, but instead continued walking. When they reached the campsite, the girl stopped and spun around.

"Why do you put up with this?” she demanded irritably,
"They are under your command! Lead them! I tire of this! We are achieving nothing here – nothing but corpses. If you would have them throw their lives away, then do so but do not let them squander them on their own. They are foolish children that need leading around by the hand! Pick a destination and let us go to it!”

She sucked in a long breath, calming after her outburst. It seemed she was still affected by whatever it was Nivram had said to her. The words they exchanged had been for their ears only, and yet she could not help but wonder if Ydalon had overheard… she did not pose that question to him – yet.

"What is it you really wish to achieve?” she asked, more quietly this time, far more calmly. "You think a companion’s demise shall bind them more strongly together? It did not the last time. Did you plan this? Did you know there would be these bandits awaiting us here?”

Isokla was obviously still upset, though she showed no sign of it in her crystal clear, blue eyes – only her slightly weary tone, as though all the burdens of the past few days had suddenly crashed down upon her, focusing on a single pinprick, it’s point piercing her deeply. Or so she would have others believe…
