As the elder human grasped for Lycoris foot, she simply kicked his frail hand away, leaving him to die alone in the mud as she hefted the princess, likely wriggling in her grasp, over her shoulder. Luckily the woman was an elf, naturally lithe and light. The former guardian didn't utter a word to her prior ward, leaving her head shrouded by the rough burlap sack and her limbs bound by the coarse ropes the bandits had used to restrain her while they conducted their ritual. Let her think for now that her fate was still in the hands of these vagabonds.<br/><br/>For now, Lycoris needed to get to a safe haven, some form of civilisation and, of course, to stop the other humans from following her. The former would be hrd to do, she was unfamiliar with the woods, having lived a vast majority of her life in the castle grounds and the surrounding town (city?) while being trained for her duty. Even though she had been awake and alert for the trip here, to her a tree was a tree, same as any other. She would have to make a decent judgement, then follow her gut.<br/>The latter would be slightly easier, as the human woman conjured a second Unseen Servant, her original having run out after ensuring the ring got to her.<br/><strong>"Stay behind me, take up a fallen, leafy branch and brush the forest floor as we go, starting with the area surrounding the old man,"</strong>she commanded. Hopefully the servant would cover their tracks well enough that they would be able to make a clean escape... and of course that her orders were not too complex for the disembodied spirit.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Rolls</div><div class="spoiler_body">Survival At 2013-12-28 10:52:48, Lycoris (uid: 2076) rolls: 1d20 Result: 12 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=53139)<br/><br/>Knowledge (Nature) At 2013-12-28 10:53:14, Lycoris (uid: 2076) rolls: 1d20a2 Result: 12 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=53140)</div></div>
