Best to give them what they want before we see who the faster shot is."[/COLOR] Marko slowly slung his shield over his shoulder and raised his hands. He politely stalked over to their elven prisoner and guided him down from the horse. Careful not to impose on Claude's accuracy as he did so. It didn't help that the Paladin was using a certain bow either. Marko sighed and released the prisoner's bonds with a frowning expression. He hoped for a show of good faith as he pushed the elf towards his companions but wouldn't be surprised when he got none. He couldn't see a trade going anywhere. Eight elves had shown themselves but he didn't want to even guess at more of them showing up down the road. Maybe if Trinham and Lora had been here, they wouldn't have walked into a trap so easily. He knew Claude wanted the elf as a bargaining chip too. That wouldn't have worked. The elf would just have yelled "shoot", sacrificed himself, and there would be four dead bodies on this road tonight. Marko couldn't have that. Call it the Paladin in him. Whatever, he just hoped Claude would understand and forgive him... [/QUOTE]
