Lydia scowled but said nothing more about the topic. The plan had been for someone to distract the bandits while the gate was closed. THAT had been achieved... not to enter negociations. IF the gate had closed as planned, the woman would of been alerted and ran for it.

"Hey." she said, "Don't you already have a sword? Maybe one of us who doesn't have one might make better use of it." She shrugged, the twins back at the trading post would have weapons as well. "At least leave everything until it can be examined for ... oh, I don't know... curses?"
