Two minutes, that's all Luke was able to buy for his partners.

When Bob saw Lorenzo's group come close, the first thought that crossed his mind was that Luke had been killed, but he didn't rush to conclusions.

Pseudo dragons were strong, but those weren't their own beasts, they were just rented from the adventurer's guild.

They weren't intended to fight, but to be used as mounts, which was precisely what Lorenzo was doing.
