Miercoles managed to get signed up at the last minute and yet he managed to get into a group.  Still he was late as by the time he rushed to the northernmost gate one of the group members was already in combat with some bizarre looking creations. Definitely not animal, vegetable, or miner but scarecrows?  While he didn't want to say they were going to be easy, it could be a lot more worse. Even if enchanted it was enchanted wood, straw, and cloth is no match for a keen blade and an even more keen hand. 

A small group of the possessed scarecrows fell apart in the time it took for him to re-sheathe his blade as it cleaved through them with the ease of gust of wind kicks dust up.  Dramatic entrance now complete he spoke to the armored man with a tip of the hat, "We can exchange names after this. For now let us focus on destroying these pests quickly." He then set down his box as it would be a bit of a nuisance in this fight as well out of a desire to minimize any possible damage that could be inflicted on it.
