Twelve algrim left. They surrounded the massive technological that was the portal to Domitika.
The Valids started towards Adam Forwarder.
Adam Adama started towards the Valids.
Gramps stopped her with a hand to her shoulder. "Look, if you think..."
They got into it, like warring insects. Neither of them used weapons, only their hand to hand combat skills, and it became clear almost immediately who the better fighter was. Gramps had been out of practice for a couple of decades, and Adam Adama was at the top of her game. If they'd gone to quarterstaffs and swords, she'd have clubbed him with her staff then stabbed him with her sword. If they'd gone to firing weapons, she'd have fired first.
So he gave up.
He stopped fighting her.
Adama continued towards the Valids.
