Rias nodded to William "stitches can wait then" she said as she pushed her self back to her feet "lets go" and started walking toward where Bom took the horse, but fell to her knees again feeling light headed

As Rias fell, Claire caught her, saying. "That's enough of that. At lest let me bandage the wounds first." Tearing off more of her shirt, she wrapped the wounds as best she could, using the medical spirits to clean the wounds as needed.
When she was done, Claire lifted Rias's arm over her shoulder and started walking her away from the battlefield. It was hard work for her, even with Rias supporting herself by one of her legs; Claire was many things, but "strong" was not one of them. Turning, she called out "William! We're leaving!"

Rias helped Claire help her walk best she could."thanks, again" she hated this feeling, feeling helpless like she was, she wasn't above asking for help when she needed to but she didn't like having to ask for it
[HEADING=1]'HALT!'[/HEADING]
A voice boomed through the forest, with it the fires retreated back to their point of origin before disappearing, Rias's wounds stopped bleeding, though remained open, the troll calmed for a moment before turning his attention to the group. Though his expression of rage soon faded as he looked over the group, behind them stood a Trent 15m tall.
[HEADING=2]'I will deal with this'[/HEADING]
His voice was like thunder, it had a presence that could not be ignored, the troll looked like a scolded child as he walked back into the forest. The Trent looked down at the group.
[HEADING=2]'who is responsible for this?'[/HEADING]
He asked while gesturing at the burned forest, scorched ground and dead animals.

Rias went pale "oh fuck ....." was all she could manage to say before her legs gave out, this was the absolute LAST thing she wanted, a Trent, angry with them. "we are so dead ..."
Claire just stopped and stared at the Trent. She had heard of them of course, thanks in no small part to her parents travels, but this was the first one she had ever seen in person.
And of course it was upset over Fromanzio's tactics. "Thanks Fromanzio; we only just enter another country and already you've sparked a diplomatic incident." Claire thought, though hiding an expression of it behind the emotionless face of her ambassadorial training.
"We are sir." she said, coming right out with the truth; hoping that through honesty, explanation, and apology (and more then likely recompense), further conflict could be avoided. "We arrived a few minutes ago to the sight of the destroyed caravan behind you, and the group of Sophronius eating the people and animals from it. In the resulting battle, in the heat of the moment, bombs were used in hopes of stopping them and saving any of the lives from the caravan we could. The resulting damage was collateral." Claire said, carefully and calmly, trying to provoke no immediate reaction from the Trent. She then continued, making her apology.
"Though I can think of no better way in which the problem could have been solved, such damage is our responsibility. I can only express my deepest apologies and sympathize for any loss of life, injuries, and damage incurred; particularly those that were innocent in the tragic loss. Though, words make a poor substitute, I hope you will accept my apology for our actions made in haste. If there is a customary way in which I can make recompense, please inform me and I will do my best to see it through." she finished, hoping the Trent didn't decide to hammer her into the ground like a tent stake.
She also hoped that Fromanzio would have the good sense to realize that his bombs would be hard to come by from her out (being in a mostly market-free country) and that wasting bombs trying to bring down a Trent would be insanity.
She also hoped her would care that it was insanity. She hoped he wouldn't say something like 'Oh yes, I loved watching the trees burn and the animals running around, turning to ash'... Honestly, she hoped he had passed out from smoke inhalation somewhere.
Somewhere in the back of her mind, she realized she was leaving a lot up to "hope", reminding her of something her father once said - 'He who dines on hope; starves'; she hoped he was wrong.

Rias listened to Claire's apology speech, and it sounded good up until she realized where the hope was riding. then she sighed, and pushed her self back to her feet "oh ..." and fell back to her knees "right I'm just not bleeding ..." she said holding her shoulder "you do realize just WHO your placing your faith in not getting us all killed in right?" Rais said not really trying to lower her tone, or hide her displeasure of they're current situation "for the record, i knew this would happen with that damned clown around ..."
Fromanzio took a deep sigh, though he was still holding back laughs. The booming noise had startled him but Fromanzio looked fearlessly at the ent and said.
"It was I, Fromanzio of the market who caused this fire. One familiar with the natural order of things such as yourself does have to be aware however, that fire is entirely a part of the order of things. From dust rises new life and this could have been easily caused by a simple lightning strike on a dry twig. Fromanzio would be surprised if one such as yourself could not appreciate the order within chaos which preserves everything and everyone."

William was about to join the 2 party members when he heard someone scream. William was very happy before he asked who was responsible. William wanted to kill Fromanzio now but instead he grabbed his tooths sword and looked at the Trent. He saw that Claire was apologizing I think I should join, her the more people saying sorry might make him forgive us sooner. William walked forward and then stepped next to Claire. "I am the leader of this party, And I beg for your forgiveness. It was never out intent to cause such harm to the forest. And like my companion just said if there is an way for me to make up for it, tell me what it is and I will do it." William bowed his head before the Trent. Well this was an as good as way to die as any at least this would be painless.
In a split second roots shot out of the ground trapping fromanzio's legs and the trent pointed at fromanzio.
[HEADING=2]'Do not tell me the natural order of things, I have been around since before your race hit two stones together. You caused this fire out of your own free will, it was not caused by a force of nature that couldn't be stopped, or by a creature so simple it would not know the effects of its actions.'[/HEADING]
The trent turned its attention to the rest of the group
[HEADING=2]'Under normal conditions you would all be banished from our forest, but these are trying times. As you saw not all is well with the sophronius, one which defiles the name of shamans, has learned how to shape the mind of individuals. Somehow he also has gained greater control of the creatures of the forest then any trent, he... he has killed some of my kin already. If you are able to stop him only he'[/HEADING]
The trent pointed at fromanzio.
[HEADING=2]'will be banished. Tough be aware if you cause another fire, I will know and I will personally throw you out of our forest. So do we have a deal?'[/HEADING]

When the Trent announced his arrival, Bom was even more frightened. Horses in hand, he subtly tried to side step away from the rest of the group, in case he might seem affiliated with the mad bomber et al. As soon as it started speaking, Bom froze.
As the Trent scaulded everyone, Bom glanced around at the extent of the destruction. It reminded him of the bridge. Sooner or later, this sort of thing was bound to catch up with them in the end.
"So do we have a deal?'"
Bom didn't need to wait for the others to reply. He was willing to accept any deal that didn't end with him being obliterated by the angry arborist.
Unable to find the words, he simply nodded.

"speaking only for my self, from my previous experiences with the Sophronius, as well as the Trent. i would be honored to aid you" Rias said, with a slight bow before wincing again as her shoulder reminded her of the damage done, "and thank for allowing us the opportunity to help"

William bowed his head. He was very happy to hear that he was allowed to keep his head. Still he would punch Fromanzio later, that cursed clown deserved nothing less then getting his ass kicked. still in the interest of the mission he wouldn't, but he would punch him though. "Thank you very much for not banishing us, and as the leader of this party. I give you my word that I and the rest of the party will do everything, within our power to solve your problem." William looked to his other party members. The he looked back at the giant Trent "Do you perhaps have any suggestions on where we need to start our search?" William cleaned his sword that he had used to kill the beast. He was also worried about Rias he would try to help her later.

Fromanzio was able to, albeit with difficulty to dodge the roots. It was then that he noticed the ent had diverted his attention back to the rest of the group. Fromanzio smiled, he had no intentions of being a tree's pawn. He quietly shifted around to the back of the ent and got his knives ready. First, he threw an explosive bomb under the ent to distract it, then jumped up on its back. He dug his knives in deep and stood on them both, ready to move.
The Trent quickly turned around as fromanzio tried to stand on his daggers, leaving nothing for fromanzio to land on. The Trent caught fromanzio mid air, making sure to hold him tight as to give his hands no room to move. The Trent looked at him and said.
[HEADING=2]'I showed you mercy and you decide to plunge knives into my back, you are a despicable man'[/HEADING]
The Trent then threw fromanzio far into the sky, the group soon lost sight of him.
[HEADING=2]'I presume the rest of you have no complaints[/HEADING]
The Trent said to the rest of the group

"i would have preferred him getting crushed actually .... but this works to" Rias said "um, guys, since we clearly have a minute to spare, can one of you sow the holes in my shoulder shut, please" she said, smiling "I'd like to not get an infection"
William began laughing manically. The situation was just too crazy I always knew that he was crazy but challenging an Trent had to be the dumbest thing I ever saw! William laughing slowly died down as he looked at Rias. He walked over to her and Claire. "Is there anything I can do to help you?" He asked both the girls as he turned to the Trent. "Yup no problems what so ever." We now have all of his bombs. This was an good day indeed. While William didn't want to kill Fromanzio he was too much of an risk to have around them. And now that he was done that problem was fixed.
