One of the archers interjects, loudly, "You have destroyed our water and our food. You will have us wander this burning sand until we die, horribly. We are 10 hoplites and 10 archers. You are a rag-tag bunch with 7 members. You could not survive 10 archers while defending against 10 spears. We can take you, now, and march on to victory! Come on soldiers!"
Tor laughs amiably at the archer, "We can just as easily..."
At these aggressive words Sannit intends to take a defensive stance with his spear and Bolo intends to nock an arrow to her bow and point it at the archer that spoke. If the group makes any threatening moves she will release...

Vadin readies to defend from an attack...
Sensing San-Bolo's anxiousness, Tor tenses slightly...

Merin is ready, also. He plans to use a Sonic Way attack to create a shockwave that will stun nearby opponents without physically harming them.

The archer starts to draw her bow when she begins the statement with, "
We can take you..." In a surprising display of speed, Indigo, who was standing closest to the archer, moves into action before Tor speaks his first five words. She grabs the arrow and the bow with her left hand as she slits the archer's throat with an underhanded draw, using her right.
The archer gurgles and dies as Indigo continues to hold onto her bow. Torvald finishes speaking, followed by Sannit's words, then Vadin's. All of the other soldiers stare in a dumbfounded fashion, several with their jaws agape. No further action is initiated by the soldiers and no further action is required by the Seekers.
After an awkward silence of about 5 seconds, Sheldon says one word. "
Kneel."
All of the soldiers kneel. Some may have done so of their own volition, but none was given the option. None of them, even the two commanders have the ability to resist the talent that Sheldon has to command their minds.
"
Stand." He ceases to manipulate mystic way lines that control the function of their minds.
"
You are far out of your depth. You are not even a risk to us. We do not even need to kill you. You could be to wander the desert aimlessly until you dehydrate and you would not even realize that you had died."
The 17 remaining soldiers lay down their spears and bows. The two commanders allay theirs to rest. All are visibly afraid. The male commander asks, "
What will you have us do?"
[sblock=The Ansylin Army]The first formation is comprised of 100 hoplites, armed with lances and shields. The second formation is comprised of 100 archers. The supply wagons, pulled by teams of donkeys, bring up the rear. For 200 soldiers plus 4 centurions, there needs be quite a bit of supplies. The wagons contain food stores, water, extra arrows, and cooking supplies. There are 20 cooks riding on the wagons.[/sblock]
