It was clear by her garb, that the refuge was a woman...perhaps a noble woman, by the look of her clothing. It was clear now that they would have to get involved. The soldiers would do awful things to her, if they caught up with her; and even if they let them take her, there was no guarantee that the soldiers would leave them be.<br/><br/>"Lady!" he yelled, his voiced deep and booming. She was veering off a bit, running away from the carriages. "Come! Come to us!" He waved again. "We'll keep you safe!"<br/><br/>Then, turning to the menfolk (and the rare lady) who joined him outside, Marcus spoke. "Those damn Falkovnians. Use the carriages for cover. Tell the women to stay inside, and away from the windows. Our muskets can down them well before they get close enough to shoot their arrows."<br/><br/>He stalked confidently between the first and second carriages, clapping his son, Richard, on the shoulder, and nodding to Frederick Martin in the process. "Oh, and for all of our sakes, don't shoot past the girl unless the soldiers give you a very clear shot. Killing a noblewoman? It would lead to some very severe consequences for the unlucky shot. The safety of our women is the priority, but let's help her if we can."<br/>
