The Princess smiled at the giant woman. It felt good to have a minor victory at least. She saw the Siren floating out of the corner of her eye. After the lightning vaporized their enemies, she stared at the Siren with eyes wide. She looked back at the ashes of the humans, not yet noticing the arrow in her leg.
Branwyn took a step towards the drill. She gasped in pain and fell to her knees. Velatha rushed over. She wore a worried expression. "Are you hurt, Princess?" The barmaid asked.
Branwyn leaned back into a sitting position and checked her leg. An arrow stuck out of her left calf. It had torn through her leather leggings easily. Blood oozed out of the wound. The Princess gripped the arrow and tugged. She screamed and stopped trying to remove it. "A barbed arrow. Humans and their abominable weapons."
Velatha nodded and snapped the shaft in the middle. "We don't have time to cut it out. Can you walk?"
"I think so. Mind if I lean on you?" Branwyn asked. She climbed to her feet and offered Velatha an arm. The woman put the arm around her shoulder and slipped one around Branwyns in turn. They walked to the drill and climbed in.
"Thank you, sir dwarf. I promise that I will repay you somehow." She said to the drill operator.
