heroic rescue

Of course Liandra couldn't just walk away. Even without her bolstered confidence, she wouldn't be so callous as to ignore such cowardly act.

"I am making it my business" She boldly stated

"Tek, fuck this bitch out" The same orc ordered one of his companions, the second largest one, he had a bloody cudgel in hand and a cruel pig face, enormous biceps. Liandra didn't hesitate to hit him once in the chin, a single punch with the heel of her palm, it knocked the unprepared brute out in a second. The others didn't wait a moment to attack.

The ring granted her far more than strength and speed, she had never fought anyone before, but her moves were fluid and precise, she dodged their clumsy blows with ease, and her strikes sent them back several feet. She grew bolder by the moment, and even when they started attacking her with their weapons she was unafraid; she raked them with her nails, leaving shallow scars that looked far worse than they bled.

Eventually it was just her, the largest orc, and a couple of battered orcs. But she knew him different, his gait showed confidence, balance, a predator; he was a seasoned warrior. "What is your name, human?" He asked with a sneer, Liandra could smell his excitement above all the blood and sweat in the scene.

"I am Princess Liandra, of Luxius." Liandra could feel the adrenalin pumping through her veins, she was having a delicious time

"I am Captain Scro, veteran of the forked river battle, the Calamari siege and..." he never got to finish, for a halfling fell on him from behind, and knocked him out with one of the orcs borrowed cudgels. 'Captain?' mumbled the princess. She looked more carefully at the orcs, was it the Empire´s symbol embroided in their leather armor?

"Thank you for the rescue, princess Liandra" Said the halfling with his chubby smile and exaggerated courtesy "I am Pidgeon, the best pickpocket in all of Nocternia." He frowned, and kicked the groaning captain "Or were, apparently someone blew my cover. But we should hurry, these guards are like cockroaches, there is bound to have more soon!"
