Dragon Wench takes a very large breath. Just in case the Dryads try something.

The Three approached the glow of the dryad grove. Loner went forward, casting a furtive glance behind to make sure her comapnions had her covered. They did. Loner took a deep breath...just before two dryads stepped out of the shadows.
"Geez," said Loner under her breath. "I thought WE were skimpily-dressed..."
"A pretty-pretty one," said one dryad to the other. "Have you come to play?"
Loner's blood began to boil. "That depends, dryads," she said. "Who do you have to play with?..."
The dryads looked suspicious. Their eyes narrowed and strayed to Loner's sword. "What do you mean, who?..."
"I mean I seek a male human who may have come by this way. Do you know --"
But Loner could not finish the sentence before being struck by an arrow in the shoulder...

a howl of... what? anguish? pleasure? both? echoed from somewhere not-too-distant. The Ladies glanced at each other, recognising something in its quality...

Georgi, cursing herself for not spotting the markswoman, swiftly raised her bow and sent an arrow of acid hurtling towards her target. It struck, and the dryad screamed in pain as the acid burned through her blood...
"Loner?! Are you okay??"

With perfect reflexes Loner drew her longsword and with one hand began smiting the dryads, who were now coming out in force and screaming "He was lost to us! Tricked us! Gone!! GONE!!!!!..."
Loner could feel the blood flowing down her arm, but she fought valiantly on. Her vision began to blur...

Loner quickly loosed an arrow towards the heart of the wicked Dryad, while Dragon Wench not wanting to scorch her companions, stepped forward breathing out purposefully. Flames leapt forth, and the Dryads, sensing that the three women meant business slowly began to edge away.

Georgi realised the futility of her longbow, and casting it aside, unsheathed the mighty flametongue once more. She charged through the mass of dryads towards Loner, spilling blood to all sides...

(Loner falls to the ground, still conscious, having abandoned her sword for the quarterstaff, using it one-handed...)

Just when all seems to be lost a familiar figure strides purposefully into the clearing. As Georgi and Dragon Wench continued to battle the Dryads, Jennabard heads to the moaning Loner, and tilts her head back. At once the combination of the Harem's secret healing potion and Tia Maria begins to revive Loner.

Georgi screamed her bloodcurdling battlecry as the adrenaline of combat pumped through her veins. Through the veil of blood she glimpsed a fallen body...
Her chest heaving, she cautiously lowered her sword.
"Jennabard! How did you...? Is she...?"

Loner clambers to her feet due to the healing potion and begins to render (slow) melee destruction upon the few remaining dryads...

Life crept back into the limp body of a dryad behind Georgi. Seeing the movement from the corner of her eye, she whirled round, and the dryad's head tumbled from the body onto the wet ground.
She breathed a sigh of relief to see Loner scramble to her feet.

(slurred speech) "Is that all of them, then? Are we done here?'
*falls to knees*

One of the remaining Dryads, begging for mercy offers to reveal all she knows in exchange for her life. Grabbing the Dryad by her flowing locks (her clothing being too slippery to grasp) Dragon Wench drags the grovelling Dryad towards the other women. Georgi, revealing her extensive skill with knots
quickly wrestles the Dryad to the ground and proceeds to extract information from the violently quivering form.

The Ladies' faces contorted in disgust as they heard the dryad's tale.
"Poor Gwalchmai! It's a miracle if he survived... WHERE IS HE??" Georgi's blade caressed the dryad's neck...

The answer given, Georgi threw the trembling dryad to the ground. She turned to Loner. "Tis a cabin but a short distance from here... Can you walk?"
