"I don't know where I'm at mind helping me" I knew very well where I was. I was directly in enemy territory and was hoping to fool this guard into taking me straight to the force captain. He got caught protecting the newbies and was overpowered by the enemy. The rest of the group is currently hiding in the woods watching for danger.

"Yeah, I can lead you to someone who can help" I was broken out of my thoughts by the guard's response. He had begun walking right away not taking any chances of a sneak attack. I followed along as to not lose sight of him, it didn't take long to get to where he was taking me. I looked around searching for the force captain. Bingo, I spotted his bright white hair, face bloody and bruised.

"This looks like a dungeon?" I say attempting to get the Shan's attention. I notice shan turn around looking confused as to why I was there I wink towards him. Right as the guard turns around to speak I Punch him in the face, hearing his nose break in the process. Kicking him in the groin to knock him over before whacking him in the head knocking him out. I grab the guard's keys and unlock the cell door lifting Shan up. Shan complained about me carrying him "We need to get out of here and quick unless you can run I'm carrying you" I said to him firmly running out of the building and to the woods.
