"Let go!" Robin hissed.
"And let you get yourself killed?" Marcus answered. "Not likely."
Robin shook his hand from her shoulder and spun around to face him. "You heard them! They're-"
"I did. But three of us against all them means a direct charge is a great way to make things worse. Plan first, then attack."
Robin scowled, but he was right; there were too many for them to take on by themselves, but the longer they waited...
"Do you HAVE a plan?"
"Getting one. Daniel, do you have... Daniel?"
There was no sign of the half elf, save for the back door left slightly ajar.
Daniel still didn't feel all that comfortable in his armor, and it made it hard to move quietly. Still, anything that kept your insides inside couldn't be all bad. Maybe he'd get used to it in time.
Time was something he didn't have unfortunately. Aric had given his order and already people were dead. The three of them could do something, but they'd have a better chance IF he could get the rest of their weapons from the horses.
He could see them from here at the edge of the growing carnage with only two men guarding them. They hadn't noticed him so far; they were more interested in the carnage going on nearby.
Daniel drew his newly acquired sword from its sheath. Unlike the armor, the blade felt natural in his hand, perhaps that plus surprise would be enough to offset his complete lack of training.
He tried to move closer without clanking too much.
If he hadn't been wearing armor, it might have worked too.
