Well, that was easy. Her adhoc interrogation worked pretty well. The words of a bandit weren't to be trusted, but simple hints about what was coming were always useful. The bandit that feared for his life was fine now. At least from dying in the battlefield. Unless a more utilitarian and morally ambiguous knight decided to... thin the herd, he was now the kingdom's responsibility. What was important, however, were the actions of [i]him.[/i] Instantly, he belittled Aria's years of battlefield experience. It was easier to catch flies with honey, but she wasn't trying to catch a fly. She was trying to get information out of a murdering thief. He even called her 'little lady'. Aria was taller than him! If there was a manlet here, it was this ganglion who was unable to crack 6". Now, he was on Aria's list.

Slimy bastard.

Well, no sense jeopardizing a mission to get even. That would come later. Now was the time to advance. After all, if the bandits wouldn't return, ye olde king would have a great reason to run. Though, the strength of Jeremiah was the big question. If he was able to beat so many of the king's men with the help of dozens of useless bandits, then he was either one of two things. If he was able to kill people so fast, then he would have most likely been a mindless brute that could cleave entire legions in twain. In that case, he would probably have some immunity or resistance against being cut. All that meant for Aria is that her spear had an even larger target to pierce.

Well, it was better not to get too caught up in theory. Now was the time to march and dethrone a bandit.
