Mercenary Scout: “The Crusaders are uys”
Mercenary Archer: “How many?”
Mercenary Scout: “Their ranks are quite wide and I can’t be sure But seeing as how one platoon has about 20-50 men, I would say there are quite a few of theht on to our attempt to escape with all the saltpetre”
Mercenary Archer: “There aren’t any refugees that look like this, I suppose”

Small Mercenary: “Indeed”
Young Mercenary: “They’re still some distance away You can make it if you run now”
Mercenary Archer: “How far away are they?”
