Upon noticing you outside, Rewi exited their pā (a fortified settlement) through its front gate, and addressed his people with a metaphorical phrase.

"‘Stick to that, the straight-flying cormorant!’"

Rewi began to grunt fiercely, his eyes bulging as he performed his Haka (war dance). Displaying his weaponry expertise, he wielded his Taiaha (a two-handed striking weapon) while initiating his wero (ritual challenge to a party of visitors); Rewi stared wildly at you, dilating his eyes and sticking out his tongue - the ultimate sign of battle readiness.

"We will continue to fight forever and ever!"

Rewi states, with a determined gaze.
