After that whole shit is over, it doesn't start raining: it starts pouring.
The group takes shelter in a small traveller's shack along the road, where there's a peasant who is preggers already taking shelter inside.
Now one of the ronin, who I'll hereby dub the 'Voice of Reason' of the group tells them not to get involved with the peasant and to mind their own business.
That doesn't happen, of course, so the group talks to the peasant, who is clearly afraid of the dickass scorpions coming this way: one of the ronin of the group decides that help is in order, because she is clearly pursued and in the right here and goes the rest of the way to the village with the peasant while the other three go ahead alone.
So, after the peasant and the ronin finally arrive, the party is reunited in the inn. During the night, VoR is awakened by the peasant woman who is trying to sneak out to the bathroom. Peasant asks VoR to go with her, because she is also a woman and would feel comfortable with this.
VoR agrees. And is rewarded by a stab in the back when they are outside, because there's an assassin after the peasant woman.
After a close call, peasant woman spills the beans, that she got her condition because a Scorpion lordling couldn't keep it in his pants (she is rather cute) and is on the run from the Lordling's irate father. That was the henchman of the dick-ass Scorpion who was sent after her.
So the group is torn over what to do -one of the group was an insensitive scorpion who had been bullying the peasant woman from the start- ultimately decides "fuck the scorpion" and get some vengeance on the dick that almost killed VoR.
So they accompany the woman for a while and after three failed attempt at assassinating the killer, they finally manage to kill a *Scorpion-raised-assassin*
The VoR almost died again because she played the bait and is a glass cannon, but hey! Victory... somewhat.
