Hey, it's really hard to actually leave Riptide behind on accident. It tends to show back up in his pocket after a while.

"You know me, if there's monsters trying to eat people I tend to show up." He shrugged, "We need to get everyone out of here, some of them don't look like they know a spear from a broomstick and even I can't take on this many naked giants."

One or two, no problem, but without a body of water nearby he wasn't going to risk anyone else.
