A number of brigands rushed, the first wave mainly generic NPC robbers. Two of them even appeared to be the same character model! That made sense. NPCs were generally fearless. One of the player characters shoved a spear at Jono from between two of these NPCs.

"Got a mouth there don't you?" Toryn answered the challenge, "We'll knock you down a peg or two! Hah! Get'er boys!"
Toryn, of course, didn't immediately join the fracas. He liked to watch and then step in to finish his victims. It was one of the reasons he was higher level than the "boys" he deployed.
Meanwhile Pyre placed a hand against Toryn's abdomen and snuggled closer. Her one worry was that Toryn might like Jono better. Then Jono could become the lure and Toryn would snap Pyre's neck.

"Oh. You'll be seeing red all right," Toryn chided Jono, "if you don't turn over all your items. That's all we want."
It was a lie of course. If Jono returned and told people about this little scam people willing to follow Pyre out into the wilderness alone would be hard to find. Worse, someone might get the idea to party up and chase them out.
Meanwhile, Pyre was decidedly useless at this point. If she helped in the attack she'd become marked and ineffective at scouting out bait. She stepped closer to the bandit lord and Toryn placed his off-arm around Pyre in a way that was quite familiar.

Sorry. I was in the shower and getting ready for bed.
Slipping through the gate Pyre led her new companion out along the road for a time before turning off the track at an area denoted by a broken tree. Upwards they followed what was little more than a goat track until they reached a clearing containing little more than harmless bunny rabbits.
In the center of the clearing was a chest and once deep within the clearing one could tell it was already opened, the shackle lock clearly forced clean off.
"Sorry about this," Pyre apologized as she tried backing away towards the flank of the clearing, "I really am sorry."
Beyond the clearing on every side was a bandit. Some NPC, some players, all with the glimmering red names that denoted repeat player killers
"Well, well, well," trumpeted the one calling himself Toryn the Rotten, "What do we have here. Has my little flower brought us something to play with?"

"Uh. Okay," Pyre answered and began to move off in the direction of the town gate.
She wasn't sure what to make of the situation. Was the girl on to the ploy? Was she simply bored? The important thing was that she was coming. Toryn could deal with her.

"Wow. You must be really tough." Pyre praised Jono, "I thought we'd need a whole party! I'm super impressed."
Pyre hated pretending to be the energetic moron newbie but that seemed to get the best results out of prospective victims.
"It's not far. I'm Pyre by the way. I can't see your name but I'm pleased to meet you. Is that a rogue thing? I'm a sorceress by the way. I do fire."

"Well, there is the treasure chest," Pyre reminded her, "I'm sure there will be something great in there for you. You can keep whatever is in there. I just need the XP!
"Heck!" She added, bouncing on her bare toes in a way that made her bracelets and anklets jingle, "I'd be happy with whatever you throw away when you find something better!"

Pyre's gaze fell upon a player. You could tell a player by how they moved even if you didn't peek at their gamer tags. In particular it was the eyes. NPCs didn't notice things unless they were supposed to. Further, NPCs were usually very predictable and static.
Seeing a prospective player she made her approach, hoping to lure her into the trap. Hopefully she would have some good loot that would make Toryn happy.
Pyre's name over her head if checked wasn't even yellow but a solid green, indicating she wasn't a player killer. The thief's ability to gauge someone's power level indicated Pyre was decently pathetic as a first level mage should be.
"Hiya!" She called out cheerfully, "Wanna party up? I found a treasure chest but I can't quite get to it. The monsters are too tough for me right now."

Sarah couldn't get over the detail in the experience. She gazed at her olive coloured skin, marveled at the red scarves that served as her clothing. Pyre, her fire sorceress character, was first level and was just starting out.
Pyre's bare feet slipped softly across the cobblestone of the town. Here was a safe zone. Technically one couldn't die here or engage in combat or anything but she'd learned that want exactly true. There were sneaky tricks around that and if she didn't find some poor victim and lure them out Toryn the Rotten was going to kill her.
