Charge full-tilt at Rodriguez, occasionally side-stepping to avoid gunshots.
*20*
You then break out in full sprint charging at Rodriguez. As soon as Rodriguez snaps his fingers, the shady figures then snap into action, throwing bombs, Greek fire, acid, and shooting you with a wide plethora of guns. They eventually run out of ammo, as you are an agile man, and you manage to cut off all the heads of the shady figures. You survive that encounter with no damage whatsoever, and your spirit gets more and more fiery as you approach him. Rodriguez, though he's about to get clocked in the face by a surprisingly fast paladin, looks cool. He whips out his pistol you slide underneath it, and his face twisted, as if he wasn't expecting that. The paladin then performs an uppercut that made Rodriguez rise above the ground, 10 inches. He is now angry. He stands up, barely able to maintain his weight. He then snaps his fingers again, only this time much louder, after which he runs away, rides his horse, and full speeds towards the exit of the town. "We shall meet again, foolhardy paladin, next time, I shall be more prepared!". You are about to celebrate, however...
However, as he left, a monk, appears to defend Rodriguez' escape.
