As Sara gets into the encampment it is a ramshackle affair of tents and other improvised shelters all around the camp . The children are either tied to each other or a couple are tied to long sticks that as Sara looks around could be placed across to two rather large fire pits in the center of the camp All the children seem to be rather cowed and have a hopeful look in their eyes as Sara comes into the camp and introduces her self .

From her hiding place, Dalorna continues to silently direct her unliving vegetable servitor on its incendiary mission.

Dalorna quietly rolls over and whispers to her friends-

''The turnip just got smooshed, I think. We'd better get ready for action. Has Sara freed the children yet?"'

When Sara cuts the rope that ties the last child she whispers to them.

"Now you are all free, you need to do what we said. Don't make any noise and move as silent as you can and follow me out of here, at the woods wait my friends. If anything happen and the monkey men understand that you are free I will tell you to run. Please run as fast as you can and try to reach my friends. Understood?"

Without actually wait for an answer Sara leads the way where her companions are hiding.

Sara needs barely a second to understand why the monkey men shriek.

"They noticed the missing children. Quick lets go out of here and back to the village!"

Then get her guns out so she will be ready to attack. Looking at the children says with the voice that tries to be calm and steady.

"Children, you did great so far, you will be safe with us here. We will get you back to your families now, but you need to move fast and silent as you did before. Stay close to my friends here. If you hear any loud noise don't be afraid it's nothing. Now please follow us."

Looking at the others says:

"Lets go, I will stay hidden and try to cover your back. If you hear the guns run faster!"

Dalorna rises and moves at a low crouch to join the rest of the party.

She whispers-
''Right, we had better get moving.''

Without further ado, she begins to retreat. If any of the small children are having trouble, she'll carry one or else hold his hand to help him along.

(She calls her raven by a silent mental tug).

Isidar grabs some small children and puts them up on Ovina's back and gives the reigns to the oldest looking child saying, "Lead Ovina to the village. She is brave. No matter what happens do not stop until you get yourselves to your home. Then tell the grown ups that we are coming and to prepare to fight the monkey men." As everyone starts to run back to the village Isidar will run a little further back than Sara and duck behind a tree in order to give support to Sara. Isidar is planning to do a fighting withdrawal, her shield is ready in her hand and she has put the warhammer on the ground next to her.

Arnulf will rise from his hiding place and look at the children. A feeling of sorrow fills him as he looks at the decrepit band of children. "Follow us, children to safety."

The Professor moves along with the others, looking the children over for any injuries that require his attention.

As Huln examines the children he just notices that they seem to have been pinched in several places is all .

"Well, fortunately it seems the injuries these children have suffered appear to be mild, almost to the point of being mundane. Perhaps when we are back in the village I could give a closer examination to check for anything else. In there current condition we should have no problem getting them home, well, at least as far as there injuries are concerned."
