There's a whole crowd of minions carrying various weaponry just storming past Alanna, apparently pursuing an unarmed man - despite his weaponless state, he doesn't seem at all worried about the horde of minions. It quickly becomes clear why - he's just as deadly without a weapon as he is with one. But it seems that this man doesn't care much for swords or hammers, because when he does pick up a sword that a dead minion (spine broken, face smashed in) had been carrying, he looks around quickly, and--

Ah, Alanna, you may want to take the sword that he's just thrown near you (perhaps after you finish slaughtering that mage). It would certainly be easier to wield than that spear. That done, he darts away again, leading the mnions on a merry chase across the beach.
