OOC: Well, since doghead has an ips problem and Ferrix is still moving, lemme move this battle with the Rain forward a bit...
Haedyn lays about him with Riva, getting inside the lowlander's pikes and other polearms, his tough armor and spiritual power protecting him from harm. In a whirlwind of death, he slices through two of them almost simultaneously, and whirls for more blood. Darvekis dances backward from the battle, putting more and more acid arrows into the air, while Ebony and Hiitar flank and flank again, bringing down the rest of the tiefling officers.
The end is as swift and sudden as the Thunder's distraction, with a near-dozen bodies laid out on the raw earth. Darvekis comes closer, and spits on the faces of the tiefling corpses before helping you remove any goods from them you may want.
The other slaves are freed from their pits, and will take any weapons or armor you didn't in an effort to protect themselves. All are battered, most are starving, but all are incredibly lucky to be alive.
"I was very very close to becoming a prime sacrifice for some sulfur-belching, blood-bathing behemoth. Your timing couldn't be more perfect," Darvekis says finally, as he is cloaked, hooded, and put on the horse to rest a bit. He says little else during the journey, other than a soft thanks to you when you pass off the former slaves to the care of Kingsmarch scouts. They'll see them back home.
It's nearly noon before Jillian, in her high post in a tree, spots the returning Rain. The presence of an extra body amongst them reveals Darvekis is with them. Within moments the group is reunited, a thin and battered Darvekis seeming ridiculously happy that he's amongst friendly people once again.
