As Elias hits the hobgoblin, the archer spouts blood and tries to get away, taking out a small vial from his belt. But before he can drink its content, a javelin coming from aside, higher on the hill, pierces his throath and kills him on the spot. Turning to your right, you see an elf riding a white horse coming down the hill and approaching you, his hand up in a sign of good intentions. Meanwhile, from the opposite direction, you spot another mounted man, leading by the reins the three horses that pulled your carriage and had fled in that direction.
Peace, travelers. I came to give you aid. Are there any injured among you?, speaks the elf. As he gets nearer, you notice he's leading his hors with only his knees, and the right sleeve of his shirt is empty. He's one-armed.
