Party Growth & Realization

Fifteen rat husks littered the floor. 

A small armory had been dumped onto the cold ground.

Sabina stood a step in front of the others. Her arms flopped down to her side, unable to hold them up in deterrence any longer. 

It was then that Gerrart booked it past the cheetahkin with worry dripping from his sad frown.

"Of course I'm alive, fuck-face!" 

Rizz reflexively snapped back at his overly concerned apprentice, fighting the cough that welled up in his throat. "I'm not going anywhere. Not till you heal me up nicely…"

"Y-yes! Right, I'll do everything I can."
