The journey in this living nightmare carriage proceeds fast, without any incidents and eventually we reach our destination.
In addition, I doubt there was anything that could have stopped this thing.
And for sure the other soldiers took care of anything that was in front of us.
I cannot leave fast enough, yet need to be careful not to fall on this "stair" of nurses, which formed again.
Not because I might get injured, more for the reason that countless arms would catch me if I do.
This is not good for my sanity.
And this horror vehicle was neither.
Still shaking, I address Liseti when she steps out with all the grace one would expect of royalty.
(L)
My first idea is that I hope the interceptors flew high enough to not cause a panic in the populace.
Yet I guess I should propose something more substantial.

(L)
The "coat", if one can call it like this, is handed to me and I wonder what kind of creature has such a large and ebon hide.
There are no sleeves for the arms but it's possible to fix it in a believable way.
It has exactly the properties she mentioned and feels extremely durable.
I see Liseti putting it on.

The sun, even if it's dimmed, burns a bit in my eyes, which got used to the dark down there.
Fortunately, this place is a dead spot and no one is here to spot us.
(E)
The two are coming out and internally I really hope the around three-thousand soldiers below us won't follow.

Like this, we are spending our time waiting for our appointment.
It slowly starts to get darker, yet a little light is still present.
But then...
"Hey, you were right! They really are here!"
I have a bad feeling about this!
With growing concern, I look in the direction of the voices and find men entering our alley.
They are crudely armed with spiked clubs, daggers, and even a sword.
"How stupid can you be? Showing off this much money and then walk in an unwatched alley! It's like you are begging to get robbed!" (bandit)
Why did this have to happen?
From all the things that I could face, now robbers?
(L)
"They are bandits! People making a living by taking others wealth." (E)
(L)
"More like human scum, this isn't a normal occupation!" (E)
I don't want her to think too bad about mankind.
I'm literally bargaining for its existence.
And I'm now deeply worried.
Not about my safety, but what may happen next.
"So, what do we have here? Some unknown figures where no one will ask any questions should they vanish. If not for this beggar who will wonder where you left to!" (bandit scum)
"Aeem Ieeh rieeEght ieef thieEs iees no act of treeEAchery of ouuur contaaAct, buut just a meeEre cooieEnciEdeeence?" (L)
"God! What was that? Got your throat washed with acid?!" (bandit with ear pain)
"AaansweEeer theeE quEeestiooon, pleeEEase!" (L)
"NO! As if those idiotic weaklings would make their hands dirty! This scum isn't even able to do anything on their own. And now hold this thing shut! God! What a pain! You are done!" (bandit)
"Please let us kill this one fast! I don't even want to imagine her death screams!" (stupid bandit)
"You are aiming for their lives!?" (K)
Kyska is at this prospect extremely agitated.
I think less because of fear and more for lèse majesté.
"Please, can't we solve this peacefully? What do you want to leave us like this? I can offer one gold coin and four silver!" (E)
"I would rather take all and your lives while I'm at it. We simply cannot allow you to escape and talk to the guard. You need to understand." (bandit leader)
"Please! There must be a way! Just leave!" (E)
If this won't end the soldiers will rip them apart!
"Oh, stop your whining! It's just annoying!" (idiot bandit)
"You don't understand! Leave, or you all will die!" (E)
"First whining now threats. You don't know what you want, girl!" (b)
Promptly I feel a touch on my shoulder.
It's Liseti!
