Reboot special; Two pair part three

Travis ran flat out. His sharp eyes took in the scene at a glance; an ogre was baring down on a young maid. He had his club up and ready to come down on her once he came close enough. Travis slid to a halt while drawing an arrow. His arrow proved true; it entered the ogre's right arm and he dropped his club.
Lindsay wasn't far behind. She drew her saber in preparation. She passed Travis as he got another shot off. This one entered his chest but didn't go to deep. By now the stupid giant realized where he was and took off through the underbrush at a slow run to him.
As he emerged Lindsay was all over him, slashing away at his legs. Travis abandoned his position in favor of a closer one.
Lindsay was fearless in the face of combat. The ogre flailed his arms about trying to punch or slap her away from him. Lindsay wasn't agile but had incredible finess with a blade. Finally a blow landed and swept Lindsay off her feet.
Travis had been taking careful aim. He came to a stop not feet from their opponent. "Good night sucker!" He shouted. An arrow flew true, from his bow to the ogre's head. The ogre staggered a bit but eventually fell over, dead as a doornail.
By the time all was said and done Clyde had arrived. Travis rushed over to Lindsay. "I'm all right." She said, leaning on her now bloody saber to get up.
A girl wearing a pink dress came out from the underbrush. She brushed some twigs off of her. "Thank you for saving me." She said and bowed.
Travis hadn't seen such a girly girl in some time. He came up kind of shy. "It's ok, it's what we do. I'm Travis." Lindsay shrugged off her depression at how Travis acted.
Introductions were made and then Clyde asked her if she was traveling alone. "Yes. I came from the forest Rivun to collect Hika fruit. I have a full wagon but..."
"What's wrong?" Travis asked.
"I was taking a break when the ogre came. My horses ran off at the sight of him taking my wagon with them." She told him.
Clyde stepped forward. "Sometimes things just happen. We're glad to see you're all right though, and that is most important."
"Yes, that is true." Lindsay said.
"Thank you all." She said again.
