Due to the foliage and the crooked manner of the path, Jaguar and Whisper are only about 6 strides from the source of the laughter when everyone sees each other. Disappointing and possibly frustrating, it is not the witch in question but four Centrin girls dressed in crude attire. Like Whisper, they appear to hold slings. They continue laughing and most certainly intend harm for the two young men. One of them taunts, “End of your chase, fellows.”

Jaguar proves to be faster than the acolytes, but they are quicker on the toss than Whisper. The immediate vegetation does not provide anything much for cover, as was the desire of Jaguar, so he reflexively caused his skin to match that of the environment. Not expecting such from the four girls, it is a bit of surprise that they perform the same talent in the exact same manner. One of them hollers in Centrin as the fray ensures, “It took our mistress two Cycles to cultivate those bats.”

Jaguar fires his blowgun, instinctively sacrificing the dart to cause additional caustic damage. The dart strikes true and dissolves, both causing harm, but the damage appears to be trivial. In return he is struck with two stones. The first is almost insignificant. The second hits with a bit more force. An orangish mist is released when they strike, but Jaguar is unaffected and recognizes exactly what was done. A second yells, “You ruined our coin making scheme!”

The first stone slung at Whisper misses, but the second strikes with some force. Like his friend, he seems to be unaffected by the fumes. His own stone follows, striking one of the girls with some force and causing a bright flash. Both have some effect. The third shouts, “Bridgetown was not supposed to save itself!”

Though neither he nor his partner seem to be faring well, initially, Whisper can think of nothing else to do other than employ the same tactic, but suddenly realizes that he can use an ingot of iron instead of a stone. He aims for the same girl as before, hoping to take one out.

As the second volley ensues, the four girls have a much harder time targeting the two young men, though they are each struck a second time. The individual damage seems insignificant, especially since neither is affected by the bending, but the accumulation of hurt is beginning to be a problem. The two are gaining the upper hand on the four. They only have to hope they can hold out. Two of the acolytes are showing signs of difficulty, but all four are still trying to attack. They do not attempt to close to melee.

Disappointed by the results of using the iron ingot, Whisper remembers that he is carrying two lodestones. He prepares to sling one of them at the same girl. He knows that taking one of them out will significantly improve the situation for he and Jaguar.
