She'll be ok after some first aid.

Marielle dressed and recovered her equipment. With some effort, she was able to extract her sword from fish man's shield. Modesty restored, she attended to the fallen woman. Her wounds were relatively minor. A bit of first aid did the trick. It as the impact from the fall that knocked her out. She did her best not to stare at the woman's curvaceous body as she worked, although she couldn't help but feel a bit of breast envy. Satisfied she was stable, she moved to the makeshift camp the monsters had set, found a few provisions, and stoked a fire.

After some time of trying to find herself in the flames, Marielle heard the woman stir. Wanting to be considerate of her modesty, she did not turn to meet her, but the woman walked around nude with her gear and sat in front of Marielle, making adjustments to her armor. "I must thank you, warrior, you saved me from a terrible fate."

Marielle tried to keep eye contact as she replied. "And I you. I shudder to think what would have happened if I came on those two alone."

"Some help I was, naked and **** before you even worked up a sweat." She extended her hand, Marielle took it willingly "My name is Brynn."

"Marielle. What brings you to Vangel?"

"Same as you, I suppose," Brynn replied, finally beginning to dress, to Marielle's relief. "Saw demonic activity on my island, felt it important to investigate."

"Your island?"

"I serve as it's protector."

Marielle was surprised by this, "isn't Vangel uninhabited?"

"Maybe in the way you mainlanders consider a place 'inhabited', but there are living things here. A few humans. I seek to keep them safe." She gestured towards the lobotomized corpse of fish man. "Where do you think he came from? Something is perverting the nature of this place, and I intend to find out what it is. Care to travel with me?"

Marielle could see no reason not to travel with the stranger. They had common cause, and numbers might be helpful here. She nodded her agreement, and they moved further into the caves.
