"Aren't you with Ani?" I asked. "I was... formerly with Ani's group, but I left due to self-interest," he replied, "and that bastard is way too greedy for himself since he keeps everything that we loot anyway."

All I could think was my delicious cookie is rotting away in his hands, so I began the first strike. Missed. This guy's pretty fast! He drew his lance and began to jab at me. I skid across the ground and yelled, "SUMMON BATS!" Bats surged forward and clipped the marauder in the leg. I jumped forward to attack, but he blocked it with his spear. Jumping back and dropping the cookie, he flees, leaving a cryptic message, "You don't even know the half of what GotWoot Village is up to."

I looked up, then around, and then grieved for my lost cookie. "It was so... delicious..." I grumbled as I returned back to my pumpkin house.
