Henry took cover behind Sterling, mumbled few arcane words and second later a bolt of fire smashed into Bandit B's face, scorching it.

Henry casts Fire!
Hit: 101+10-6 = 105, autohit!
Dmg: 11-0 = 11dmg

Then, Derick went behind Henry!

And after that, Daniel moved as well.

Sterling ran almost between the two axemen, and swung his sword at the one to his right - slashing at his chest. The wounded axeman tried to hit the swordman, but Sterling was too fast.

Sterling attacks!
Hit: 113-6+15 = 122, autohit!
Dmg: 8+1-3 = 6dmg

Counter Hit!
Hit: 79-14-15 = 50
Roll: 60, miss!

No 2nd attack.

The guards' group thinned even more until a moment in which Arinne briefly dissappeared from the sight. Then, from east, came a loud whistle noise. The axemen in front of the mercenaries turned around, brandishing their axes, and from forest to the south, several other similar men ran out.

"Suckers!" Arinne's voice could be heard and then she stepped from behind the trees into a view, on other side on a small ravine.

"It worked! It worked! I can't believe that worked! Oh if only those merchants last week were that stupid. Now let me re-introduce myself. I'm Arinne Gloomblade, bandit leader! Welcome in my part of the Kesselring forest! Ha, ha, ha!" Just as a smirk appeared on her face, her men began encircling the mercenaries from both sides; bandits, archers, with few others near Arinne.

"Koch!"

"Eh, yes, missus?"

"You will stay close me this time, understood?"

"Eh, sure thing, missus."

Arinne blinked with surprise.

"Mercenaries?... Oh, right, mercenaries! Those are good news. And here I was worried that you might be attacked by bandits. This forest is close to the Fortress, but there are always few bold bandits these times. We will gladly escort you in the final part of your journey." With those words, Arinne turned on her heels and back walking through her soldiers, mumbling commands and waving her right hand toward them in somewhat informal-looking gestures, and they began following.

The other group at last came close to the mercenaries. It was a small group of rough looking men, dressed in dirty, ragged uniforms of Prixima's guards. The girl leading them, however, had ebony-purple armor without any insignia at all. She looked like a soldier, true, and she kept her right hand on her sheathed blade.
After her group stopped in front of the mercs, blocking their way and thus forcing them into a stop, she saluted briefly.

"Greetings! I'm Arinne of the Kesselring Fortress Road Guard. Who are you?" Her voice and laconic speech sounded perfectly like of an army officer.

As the group followed the twisting road, talking and discussing who should be leader and if to keep the name or not, they could, at one moment, notice someone, or rather, several someones, far to the north-west.

In a minute or so, both groups will meet with each other. And it looked like that group was coming directly toward the mercenaries - even better, they seem to have noticed the youngsters and picked up on the walking speed.
