"Why don't you ask your lieutenant to guide you?" Benimaru asked, seeing how hesitant the dwarf was.
"I already told 'em that knew the way" Brone stubbornly said as he sat on his bed and looked out the window. Benimaru sighed, understanding the dwarf's pride would keep him from asking for help from the lieutenants, or any of his troops since word would get back to the informant.
Brone hesitated from asking the ravens to help him; though they can help him locate the the bandits, they tend to vanish when battle starts and they would return on their own will. So even if Brone would defeat the bandits, he would have to wait until the ravens returned to find him before he could escape the maze of the Sigmundir Pass.
Then an idea struck him; "Kaito!" he quickly ran to the main hall to where the receptionist was and asked her to send a message to Kaito on the lacrima stone that he was requesting for his help to deal with a group of highwaymen and to meet him in front of the guild hall. With that, Brone donned his full set of armor, including his new gray-blue armor and his weapons before walking out and waiting in front of the guild hall for his friend to appear using his Hear-and-There magic.
