> "So, if it IS Assassin, the good news is that it'll probably be a quick fight. The only thing he has going on aside from that phantasm is a lot of luck. I wouldn't be surprised if their strategy is just to keep running until they can use it again."
> "Although, if that was the case, I don't know why they would've come to Rehoboth Beach..."

>"Probably for the same reason we came," says Archer. "I imagine even if they are Assassin's master and playing keepaway, they still came for the same reason. Not to mention, if we're all gathering here, it may be easier for them to take down more than one rival at once."

> "True. If she really did come here just to get answers, I almost feel sorry for her for having to do it at such a disadvantage."
> "Unfortunately, we need to kill Assassin as soon as possible, so I can't really afford to give her a break."
> Chew chew. "Well, I'm getting ahead of myself. I don't know she has Assassin, I sensed some kind of magic usage earlier. Could be Caster."
> "And there's been no sign of Saber at all, which is weird..."

>She nods. "Caster and Saber are both possible. Caster would be harder to adapt to, you just don't know what they can do. Saber, however, you tend to know exactly what they can do and it's always nasty."

>"Sleep well," says Robin. "I'll just be out here getting Charcoal ready."
>You try to sleep on your stomach, but it's not terribly comfortable either...ultimately you toss and turn for awhile, but eventually you drift off.
>Wind blows softly through the leaves, rustling fills the air. With each moment, they rustle a little longer, a little more gently. Each motion of each leaf slows a bit more than the last. This is good. This is right. You rejoice in it, savoring each exquisite moment as they draw out longer and longer. Through the trees, you can see a wagon, a big wooden thing with banded of iron, drawn by horses and flanked by a number of men in armor, following a road that wends through the thick trees. With each moment, it too slows. Then they strike, a pair in green cloaks emerging from the brush. Were they moving at normal speed, you would have missed them. One is taller and red-haired, the other smaller and dark-haired. Moving as one, bows are draw. Arrows begin to fly, covering whole feet per moment, such is their speed.
>"Lily, it's about time," comes Archer's voice; your eyes snap open.

>Leaving the tent, you notice that Archer has gathered a fairly large amount of firewood, and stacked it all into a vertical pile, each piece resting on its end.
>"Good luck with the old fart," says Archer.
