I see two individuals; man and woman. The man was familiar to me because he was the one that killed that guy earlier. They were in a stalemate but the man was slowly overpowering her. I assume he is doped up off of some drug because his stamina is nearly god-like.

Her sack was twice as big as the guy's he killed earlier, I correctly deduce that his targets are people with a hefty amount of herbs.

He's aiming to kill them and steal their hardwork so he can advance a rank.

Cruel but effective.

The man swings his longsword and knocks the woman's weapon out of her hand.

I intervene.

My blade pierces his side and protrudes from his chest cavity. I kick at the back of his knee, forcing him to my height level and behead him.

The woman was taken aback for a second before she said her thanks for saving her.

I point my sword at her and demand for her to leave behind all of her valuables.

Her mouth dropped in shock.

"Did I Fucking Stutter?" I ask as I create a slash on her face. Blood pouring from her wound bringing her back to reality.

She quickly took off her satchel, leaving her herbs behind.

I told her to scram and she complied. I combine her herbs with the dead guy's herbs and then looted his corpse. I found a powdery substance which reminded me of cocaine.

I gather all of the goods and exit the forest, making my way back to the town.
