Aldric heard the sounds of a struggle and cries for help, so he moved swiftly around the corner. Scanning the scene, he saw four armed men in the process of abducting a young girl. Leaning against the wall, he drawled sarcastically, "Four of you? Does it take so many to capture one girl? Is she very dangerous?"
The leader snarled, "None would dare interfere with our mission."
Aldric sighed, and said, "One would," and drew his sword. The leader held the girl, as his three apprentices attacked. They were no match for Aldric's swordsmanship and dispatched them swiftly. The leader let the girl go, and with a snarl of rage, attacked. He was slightly more skilled but met the same fate soon enough. As Aldric's sword sank into him, the leader gasped, "You fool. You don't know what you've done."
Aldric chuckled, "Yes, I do. I've killed the sort of men who abduct young girls."
Aldric turned to the girl, who seemed shaken, but not too much worse for wear after the encounter. He offered to see her home safely, to avoid any further unpleasantness. She informs him that she's staying in the Foreign Quarter a short distance away.
They hadn't gone far when the girl stumbles a little. He catches her and notices that her skin feels like it's burning, as he senses a wave of heat wash over him. He feels strangely aroused, but it passes. She looks faint, and Aldric suspects that the encounter affected her more than she initially let on. Aldric scoops her into his arms and proceeds to carry her. She sighs contentedly as her head nestles against his firm chest.
Soon, they arrive at her quarters. She invites the warrior in, offering a drink, which he gratefully accepts. She asks if she can freshen up briefly after her ordeal. "Of course," Aldric replies and relaxes on the couch to which she'd pointed. She disappears into the other room, but returns quickly, looking radiant. Aldric had never seen anyone so lovely and is at a loss for words.
"So, who were those men, slavers?", he inquires.
"No," she replies, "they were temple priests, hunting a succubus."
