Saru sighed. He had left the training compound ready for adventure. So far though, all he had done was walk...and walk...and walk.
'Curse my bad luck with directions. I don't even know where I am.'
Saru continued in this line of thought until he noticed that he had wandered straight into the camp of 4 bandits. 'Well...this sucks,' he thought.

"Well what do we have here?" one of the bandits asked.
"Hey, any chance of letting poor old me through without any trouble?" Saru asked hopefully.
"Why sure," the bandit replied. "Just leave all your valuables and that nice sword o' yours."
'Crap.' "Sorry, no can do," Saru said as he drew his sword and entered a defensive stance.
"Well that's too bad. Looks like we'll just hafta' take 'em from ya, right boys?" the bandit asked his fellows. With a battle cry they leapt upon Saru.

Saru managed to dodge the first bandit's attack, but had to stop and block a strike from behind. Spinning around, he managed to catch one of the bandits off guard and with a quick stab, buried his blade in the bandit's chest.
The other three, seeing this, roared in rage and began blindly attacking. 'At least their rage makes them sloppy and easier to deal with,' Saru thought.
Saru dodge an axe swipe to his head and dove to the ground between two of the bandits. Coming out of the dive, he managed to give a deep slash to one bandit that dropped him, but was unable to completely avoid the attack from behind, leaving him with a long cut on his back.
"Dammit," Saru growled out, before mastering his pain and turning around to confront the last two bandits. Saru rushed them, and, feinting towards the left, managed to catch the bandit on his right with a slash across the throat.
The last bandit attacked as Saru was turning, and gave him a few cuts on his left arm before he could block the rest. Saru then threw his sword at the bandit. The bandit, fixated on dodging the incoming sword, didn't notice Saru upon him until it was too late.
Saru punched the bandit in the gut, doubling him over, following up with a knee to his face, flooring the bandit. Saru retrieved his sword, and as the bandit got up, ran him through from behind.

After the fight, Saru bandaged himself up, wincing everytime he bent over or tried to use his left arm.
"Well this just sucks," he muttered to himself. "On the bright side, I got map from these guys, so now I don't have to rely on my horrible sense of directions."
'Let's see now, I'm here, in the mountains on the southern border of Ilia... I'll head south, into Sacae, and finally get away from all the snow,' Saru thought, planning out his next move.
With that, Saru packed up his stuff and began to trudge off, wondering when he'll finally get away from all the snow and what awaited him on his path.
