Time Crisis

A man runs into view, looking quite terrified. "Bandits. There are bandits about to attack a village!" he exclaims.

Mellie quickly draws her sword, and glances at you. "You should stay here. I'll go and stop the bandits, and then come back."

"Wait, I can help," you say. "I'm a tactician. I'm still in training, but I know quite a lot."

Mellie hesitates, and then nods. "I won't say that it wouldn't be helpful to have a tactician. Come on." With that, she starts running off in the direction the man came from.

You follow after her.
