Arcius stood up slowly with surprise shaping his features. He saw the men running away, the same men who were chasing him earlier. Regal's question made him panic slightly. "T-there were six of them! What scared them off so badly?!"
He felt his body tremble slightly at the sound of the men screaming for their lives. They fought off maybe 4 or 5 monsters together. What could they have seen that struck them with so much fear?
"It's fine, I can walk." He quickly said in response to Regal's other question. His ankle still hurt a bit, but it shouldn't slow him down.
"I knew this forest was bad news..." He mumbled, reaching for the sheath attached to his back hip, and drew his machete shortsword.
Arcius had no plans on being killed in whatever was going on. He surveyed the area and felt that whatever was scaring these men, might be headed this way. He clenched his blade tighter, and faced the two who treated him.
"I'll stay close to you guys. What are we doing? Running, hiding, or dealing with this?"
