Lorag audibly sighed when the leader came rushing forward. It was like he was trying to get himself killed. While blunt weapons were good against armor, that really didn't matter when he handled the thing like he was trying to swat fleshflies. With the reach on his hammer, it was almost too easy to stop him in his tracks. Lorag swung horizontally and struck him in the abdomen before he could even get close to being in range. The strike caused his upper body to curl forward, allowing Lorag to bring his elbow down on the back of his head. He cried out in pain as he dropped to the ground. He rolled over on his back only to see the head of Lorag's hammer rushing towards his face. He had time only to close his eyes and brace for his doom, but it never came. Instead, the hammer slammed into the ground mere inches from his head, sending a rush of wind brushing against his bruised scales. That was the point of realization, the point where he knew he should be dead. 

"This is your one chance, get out of here ya rat." Lorag barked, giving him a good kick in the side to motivate him to get up. He scrambled up onto his hands and knees, then glanced up to Lorag. She stared with his eyes wide for a few moments before shaking himself out of his awe and scurrying away to find the rest of his little gang. 

"Hmph, idiots." Lorag grumbled as he put his hammer back into its place on his back. As he did, he glanced over to the corpse of the thug Fendros had been fighting. "Hmm, so you killed him. So, what are you going to do with the body?"

As usual, Meesei remained calm when faced with the orange-scaled Argonian's warning. She finished disrobing and piled her belongings up along with Sabine's, then used the few seconds it took for her to lower herself into the water to formulate her response. "Oh, I would not worry. We have become accustomed to dealing with her level of resistance to the Marsh's diseases. We have taken all appropriate precautions; she is actually quite the alchemist. Thank you for your concern, though. We appreciate it." 

Kaleeth and Janius continued with the pattern of making Leaps lie down, then feeding him for a while to try to connect the action with the command. A few times, they tried to just command him without pushing him to lie down, but it never worked. Still, Kaleeth wasn't discouraged. If a wamasu was anything like a guar, it would take a while. Eventually, after they had fed more than enough meat to him, they stopped for the moment. She leaned up against Janius once more, this time holding Leaps in her arms and rubbing his scales. He had been somewhat agitated by their attempts to train him, but he seemed fine now. "I bet he likes to have the scales on his belly rubbed. I do. It is so calming and soothing. I think he needs it after we annoyed him so much.
