The Bandit stood roughly where he was, and Sapphire could hear him wonder what the shit happened, then [i]laugh[/i]. "You! You don't know what you got yourself into, kid!", she and the others could hear him roar. A 'normal' voice, yet hard to listen too, dripping with bitter annoyance. "What are you, some rookie hunter? You should've just walked away, youngling!". The man then points at her, while something reveals itself in the forest.

On a closer look, this may have been a bad idea. [i]very[/i] bad.

"SIC HER!", he commanded to [i]his[/i] familiar, an overgrown [b][i]MOUNTAIN LION[/i][/b] with Exicus enhanced plate-mail grafted to its' head, torso, and legs! Its' 'helmet' has a small pike attached as a horn, and the sides of its' jaws are augmented with what look to be daggers. As his Familiar goes towards Sapphire to take care of her, he draws his sword, some sort of curved eastern blade, and reveals it's also lined with Exicus runes. He then flicks it with a motion of his hand, as it [i]bursts into magical flames[/i].

"I, Nawar, will not be denied! Give her back at once, and I will not take your life! Forget she even exists!". The Woman he attempted to capture reveals she regained consciousness during all of this and pleads, "N-No! Please! I'll give you anything, just save me from that madman!". Amaryllis can tell she's someone of massive importance: everything about her from her braided, curled hair, expensive looking clothes, and her accent just screams "Noblewoman". "I counter that offer, I'll give the location of one of my stashes!", this 'Nawar' rebukes.

This is an interesting situation... Trust Nawar to hold up his end of the bargain and forget about this whole incident, or try and save the girl and go against Nawar and his[b] armored mountain lion[/b]? In addition, his pet is also relatively close to Sapphire, but is waiting for Nawar to give the final orders it seems. It'll still take it a few seconds to even get close to Sapphire or the others, who have not been detected by the Lion or his owner...
