76 LXXIV: Volunteers (2)

Looking at the ensuing chaos, Kzel spread his Force Senses and found that on each side of the road, hidden in the foliage, there were sixty hostile presence. Thirty more of these similar presence are coming from the east.

Some of the warriors in the party, switched to their two-handed weapons and prepared to defend their own hides. It's every man for himself now as they slowly strayed away from each other.

In this awaited moment, the Lizardmen sprung into action. With a screech, they charged at the disorganized party. Their first wave was instantly met with arrows and magic blasts, but their numbers kept pouring in.

Kzel sprinted toward Shannon, grabbing the party leader by the collar, "Get your men in order and make haste to the mines. The west is clear!"

Shannon was confused and said, "Even if the west is clear, we still need someone to hold them back and give us a head start."

"Just do it!" Kzel released the party leader with a push.
