Rockin' nodded as he saw the samurai retreat. "I have a feeling there are more guys ahead. Since your broom seems to be as fast as I am, if not faster, Maybe you could fly ahead and tell us what you see while I wait here for the others."

If Cherry chose to fly ahead, she would find the path mostly littered with dead bodies until she hit a shallow lake. A lone samurai in white fought off a larger man wielding a spear of some sort and 3 other samurai. Helping the young man in white was a person of indistinguishable gender caught in a battle with 3 more samurai. Despite their smaller sword, they seemed to be doing better with their opponents than the man in white.

As Rawk and Ysran continued along the path, they would see more fallen soldiers as well as a handful of green healing herbs. Upon reaching Rockin', the pony would smile and nod. "We can't split up like that again. It's too dangerous. We may be able to hold our own but if the enemies suddenly get stronger, it's best we stick together."
