[IRP] The First of Many

[Toogee]

The succession of attacks had overcome Glass. The flux from behind distracted him, enough for him to turn towards Neil and Paige. In his distraction, Satsume’s spear tore through his right leg. He was left screaming in pain and confused about where that second spear came from. Before he could figure out what just happened, Glass found himself sucking Orica’s giant spear.

So ended the tale of Glass II.

Whatever was left of the bandits quickly abandoned the battlefield with the sound of armor and horses approaching. A trio of paladins, clearly part of Pherae’s army, finally appeared to rout the remainders, though it appeared that their services would be more needed to help clean up the destruction. The townspeople cheered: their village was safe.

Upon seeing Kalin carrying Shad around (how she was doing that, the librarian could not say), Paige jumped off of Neil’s horse to see what happened. Fortunately, he wasn’t bleeding or significantly burnt. Yet Shad remained unconscious.

“What happened to him?” Paige asked Kalin, touching Shad’s face to make sure he wasn’t cold. “We might have to get him to the castle for treatment.”
