Rick stood out from the next batch of trees. He had come across mighty heroes before, but most interaction with them involved standing by while they did their thing with such immeasurably powerful spells and enchantments. After the first couple of bandits, Rick had seen the dame go through swift, graceful movements that meant death for her victims, and he naturally made for cover.

The hunter was no such hero. His sword may be slightly enchanted, but it was a simple piece one could get at a store for a little more than a fair sum. His equipment was nothing like the legendary equipment looted from the most dangerous caverns and realms beyond the stars. His leathers were plain, simple, tough, and comfortable,

"So... were they after you or me?" Rick asked as he stepped among the slain bandits They didn't seem particularly equipped to handle this woman with the enormous dandao-like sword. Did they think they stood a chance? They were likely after me... but I don't know for certain...

"Kinda harsh," he commented as his eyes caught some bandits. He adjusted the belt on his pants, for it had shifted from the rapid movement of the fight. "I'd have thought the City Watch would've spotted these guys... Unless you're the City Watch?"
