======Chapter 6: Overwhelmed======

The party fought and destroyed the Guardian Skywatcher that spotted them, gaining a sense of confidence in the process - they were going to be able to handle this! Grik, having used a Weightless Jutsu, leapt easily over the castle gate and barely managed to open the gate - but in the process was spotted by some decayed guardians, unable to move, but still able to shoot.

The party rushed into the fight, but when they moved up to attack the guardians, they kept seeing more and more - soon, they were outnumbered and very much outgunned, and forced into a fighting retreat. Dinah tried to carry a wounded and targeted Grik over her shoulder, but a guardian laser blew her into the water and Grik was forced to flee on his own. The rest of the party beat a hasty retreat back over the bridge and to the relative safety of the castle town.

There, they caught their breath and regrouped, trying to decide what to do next. They needed to somehow draw Impa's attention, without drawing the attention of the guardians. They could send up a flare and then run and hide - but if they hid from the guardians, they'd be hiding from Impa, too.

Lah Rudania summoned some fireworks and the party went for it, risking Impa not being able to find them before they'd risk fighting off guardians - they fired the fireworks from a distance and then hid nearby. They waited several hours, but right when they were ready to give up, they saw Impa arrive among them!
