Capture of a Loreesi Squad

As Roger had predicted, a small squad of Loreesi, about 8 soldiers and 2 noblemen, came to the oasis at about 2:00pm the following day. The Outlaws ambushed them. One nobleman was shot, and 2 soldiers were cut down before Gavin called a halt. The Loreesi huddled together, wondering what would happen to them. Gavin noted their terror, so he spoke to them.

 

"Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you. I'm holding you for ransom. It's not much, honestly. My men are hungry and we want food and money."

 

The remaining nobleman gulped.

 

"I have money and food, please may I send two of my soldiers back to my castle to get it?"

 

Gavin agreed and the two soldiers set off. They said they'd be back in about a week.

 

Gavin and his men brought them to their stronghold, back in the mountains, to wait out the week.

So this is my dio. It's also an entry to Mark's contest, but it's last minute so I'm not worried I'll win. : P

 

And yes, that is my real name on the border. Don't ask what the A stands for, because "wild anchovies wouldn't drag that out", as my friend says.

 

Before you ask, yes. She's a homeschooled Christian conservative and yes, at the speech group we're involved in, we're a little crazy sometimes.

 

Before you ask, no. She's not my girlfriend. I don't have one, don't plan to anytime soon.
