(Brendan POV)
For a bunch of people living on a desolate mountain, I had expected them to look frail and maybe even broken to some extent.
Yet these men looked well-fed and even quite spirited for some reason.
They were quite fearless to appear in front of senior sister Eris who, by the common sense of this Plane, should be much stronger than they are even when outnumbered.
The largest sized man stepped forward, cracking his knuckles menacingly, "That missy over there. I was going to go easy on you, you know? It was just going to be a simple robbery before letting you go since you looked cute and all. But hearing you talk about us like that just pissed me off. Unless you get on your knees and beg for forgiveness, you're going to have a really bad time you know? How about it? I'm quite generous, you know?"
At least we now know they were nothing more than bandits.
