Dacer dashed out of the tree's path as well, and stopped by Jeff's side. He looked at the man curiously, thoroughly surprised by his appearance. "Jeff," He started, walking to his friend's side. But before Dacer could say anything, the intruder began walking towards them both with a yellow, glowing smile.

	"Ohoho! You got a problem, bub?" He said loudly. His voice was overbearing, but not deafening. It was like he exerted a presence over Jeff, something that couldn't be seen with the naked eye. "Like I give a crap about this one-horse town!.. Village.. Whatever- What are you gonna do about it? Huh!?" He urged Jeff to do something, spreading his arms and taunting him. He then spotted his grappling gauntlet and snorted. "Hit me with your little [i]rope glove?[/i]"

	Dacer held Jeff's shoulder, and was about to say something, but he was also somewhat frozen in place.
