It seemed like the drama at the river was attracting a great deal of attention, just as Rhiannon had predicted.  Unfortunately, the new arrival was getting entirely the wrong idea and assuming that the Fire Wielder she had pinned to the floor was the victim in the situation, rather than the aggressor.  The first to arrive was someone who was clearly a Lightning Wielder, the crackle emanating from her gauntlet unmistakable.  She immediately accused them of being both under-aggressive and over-aggressive.

"We're simply defending ourselves and educating him on the benefits of teamwork.  Tying him and leaving him here will mean someone will kill him while he's defenceless.  That would make us murderers even if we didn't commit the actual act.  Especially as a lot of nobles would [i]love[/i] the chance to kill a commoner with no penalties."  She turned her attention back to the young man and slowly released her grip as a show of good faith.

"There's a lot of water around here in this jungle so don't forget who has the advantage."  She warned.  Just as she spoke fire erupted from the ground underneath, targeted at her.  The Fire Wielder seemed unharmed and Rhiannon's attention was drawn towards the young girl who also wielded Fire; it was clear she was behind this.  Leaping back she almost entirely avoided the flames but was forced to roll as embers set fire briefly to some of her clothing.  It was easy to stamp out but left uncomfortable levels of heat around her knees and lower arms.

"Let's all just calm down, okay!"  She said loudly, holding her hands up in a peaceful gesture.  "Fighting amongst ourselves just lowers our chances of succeeding in this trial.  It's clearly designed to cause infighting so let's not fall into that blatantly obvious trap and work together, at least until we're out of the jungle, okay?  That or I suggest we go our separate ways before this turns into a bloodbath."
