I hit thesaurus on the word ‘Robbers’ in MS Word and was surprised to see the word ‘Banditti’ pop up. Never heard it before! Turns out it's the plural for Bandit, and was in fairly common use a couple centuries ago. I thought it sounded exotic and decided to use it!! :)
And Rhiaan confidently goes off to confront them! Well, she is different, as we'll keep seeing!
Life, Good Dreams, and Merry Christmas!!

The predators are about to become prey. Definitely useful to have that spidey sense handy when out and about.

I must admit I thought you had made the word 'banditti' up as I've never heard it either! It's a good word but perhaps sounds less impressive when used in action movies when they say stuff like 'We're surrounded by banditti!' than 'We're surrounded by bandits! This form of storytelling works well especially as you are such a good writer anyway! Hope you are having a lovely Xmas btw :)

Banditti always gives me the image of robbers in Italian Renaissance outfits with crossbows, Spanish steel swords and slashed sleeves.
KimLuster at 3:50PM, Dec. 23, 2017
Yeah, I got that same feel! Still liked it though!
