After he whispered into her ear, her lips curled up into a reassuring smile, and she whispered a quiet response of her own for his ears only.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">"You don't have to worry about me, master... I promise, no matter what I'll come back to you, safe and sound."</span>And she meant it, too. She reached out a hand and took his for a few seconds, squeezing it meaningfully, and then pulled away to take her leave with the rest of the newly-formed Heroes of the Banner.<br/><br/>The trip out to the bugbears' camp was short and uneventful, thanks to the skill of their tracker, Katarina. She even helped them to make an incredibly stealthy approach... and when they came upon the camp itself, the dhampir was much less shocked than the rest of the party at the sight of the girls being so forcefully used by the bugbear bandits. It wasn't like it was a sight she had seen often or gotten used to, or anything like that. It was more that it simply didn't have the impact on her that it normally should have had. She'd been through that much and more, after all...<br/><br/>"I can cast the Mage Hand spell," She offered up, once the rest of the party began putting together a quick plan of action, letting them know what she could do to help aid their plan and make sure it succeeded. "That would leave myself, Josephine, and Hiroshi to take away everyone's weapons, while the rest of you all attack."<br/><br/>And sure enough, that was the plan they went with. Their other party members all charged forward, weapons drawn and ready for action, while she stepped out of the tree line, just close enough to bring her spell to bear.<br/><br/>"Mage Hand!" A glowing, spectral hand sprang into being... and pulled the bugbear's morningstar directly into her own hands. And if she was quick enough, perhaps she could grab that shield, next...
