S5 E2: Shots Fired

CW: Minor gun violence. Please skip 2:30 to 3:02, and 5:00 to 5:42 if this would be triggering for you. Your safety is important to us. 

The guard has drawn a strange weapon on the party, and attempts to take control of the situation by firing it into the air. A loud bang echoes and the guard levels the weapon at the closest to him, which is Rou. Trix shoots an arrow to disarm the guard, but unfortunately he gets a shot off and hits Rou before dropping the weapon.

Once Eight confirms Rou is not fatally wounded, they level their spoon and their spell forces the guard farther away from the mysterious weapon. As the guard is shoved forward, Rou shoots out an arm and catches him below his jaw. The guard is knocked over and seems to surrender once he sits up, his hands lacing behind his head. Eight demands the guard take his companion and leave, and despite Trix’s disapproval the guard leaves as instructed.  

The group attends to Rou’s wound, and when they inspect the weapon they determine it’s the newest form of technology on Baukora - a gun. Free from the threat of the guard, the party turns their attention to the young boy. While impressed by how they handled the guard, he is skeptical of them but follows Trix back to Eight and Rou. It eventually dawns on Eight and Rou that this boy might be their biggest lead to date.
