The leader of the elven assailants, who was disguised as the student Thomas, casually walked forward wielding a spear over his shoulders with both arms hanging around it. He looked at Matthew's party one by one and then smiled saying:
"Leave Lady Faralynn and the rest of you can go."
No one said anything. They just lifted their weapons and got ready for a fight.
"I don't think we have a chance." Tina said quietly in a way that their attackers wouldn't hear them.
"Then just go and leave me." Faralynn said also only for her friends.
"No way in hell we would." Helen smiled at her.
"The window is just behind us." Matthew said. "If we distract them, we can escape through it."
The elf with the spear was quick to notice their plans. He sighed pulling his spear into position to attack.
"You won't make it, kids. Don't try it."
"Run at my signal." Matthew said ignoring the elf.
