You hide between the rocks.
When they pass through your area, with horror you realize the truth: They are not mounting bipedal creatures, they are female humans!!

The girls move, carrying the small creatures on their backs. Their naked skin is stained with dirt and sweat, and they have bridles of leather and metal. If they move slow, they whip their asses... this is so cruel... but it's not your world, not your problem.

One pauses for a moment near your hiding spot, you move your fingers and grab your sword, you can't see his hooded face but the creature is smelling the air... You hear his creepy high-pitched voice "I smell you, you are close, I will find you" he mocks.

Seconds later... He tries to surprise you and hit you with his whip.
"Found you!" he screams.
You swing your sword. The creature parries your attack with a knife, you are not strong to kill him, but he's wounded.

He moves away from you and uses a potion to heal his wound.

In the rocks, they point their crowssbows but you have cover. Soon, they realize that you have a big advantage.

These creatures are intelligent, but they are cowards and do not dare fight an adult man. But you are a girl traveling alone.
"She's a tough one" the wounded creature says "She will be perfect..."

They surround you and fight you among the rocks. You manage to wound another creature, but a poisoned bolt strikes your leg, and you faint.
