Markus' heart sunk as he saw tears fall from the priestesses eyes. He noticed her starting to panic and placed a hand on her shoulder, he didn't know if it would help, but he had to do something to calm her down. "Let's just think this through. It hasn't attacked us yet so obviously it doesn't have any interest in us at the moment." The knight placed his bag of supplies on the ground and placed a hand on his sheathed weapons handle. Markus exhaled a shaky breath as he inched towards the bridge, stopping a few feet from it. The Minotaur shot a look at the knight with an unhappy expression, but did not advance toward him. Markus gripped his swords handle tightly, making sure to be ready to defend himself. The closer he got to the bridge, the more hostile the Minotaur became. As soon as his foot touched the bridge, the creature charged full force into the knight, throwing him all the way back to where the other two were. After that the Minotaur simply turned around and walked back to it's "Guard post" on the opposite side of the bridge. "Well, he doesn't seem to want us to pass." Markus winced in pain as he coughed up a small amount of blood.
