The sound of running feet can be heard coming along the road leading towards the town. A young man dressed in brown leather pants and a blue shirt is dashing along the road, glancing back over his shoulder. At the sight of the group of people gathered in front of him, he stops suddenly, hand dropping to the hilt of the rapier by his side.
"Are you from the Academy, or do you side with the orcs?" he asks, gasping for breath. He eyes the group suspiciously, gripping his sword tightly.
