I ready my bow and wait for the scout's arrival. Plan is simple - shoot them before they raise the alarm. I aim for the unarmored throat, which should silence them.
the first enemy rounds the bluff and you let loose. Your arrow hits it in the shoulder, sending it staggering back. A flesh wound. it's mouth opens in a surprised O, and it's euyes go large too, as the other two step around beside it, not yet fully aware of what has happened.
((Sorry for the late response I was occupied yesterday.))
"Sir, I can help destroy tha ships in a moment. I can't drown remember?"
I'll help Aylia against the scouts. I'll use my new concussive magic and shoot a ghostly invisible battering ram towards the scouts who are not hit (if any) by Aylia.
It should suddenly knock my enemies about as if they are being hit by a telekinetic blast. I'll call this spell "Ghostly Invisible Battering Ram" because it's easy.
Your spell sends a blast of wind at them, which seems to have no noticeable effect. Blah. You consider whtherr maybe hitting them with something would aid in the concussiveness of your spells. Probably.
If any of the approaching enemies try their shockwave trick, interrupt them with a spike of pain to the brain. Otherwise, try to topple the one in the center by doing the same to its legs.
You guys got off a first volley before they could react, so pain to the legs is a go. The one in the middle gasps and clutches it's leg, but does not fall. He looks ready to scream for help.
Anyway, yo usit down, right in the middle of the path, and lick your paw, looking straight at the invaders as they approach.
"What? Oh no, Dar got an [int:1], please don't d..."
before they get within stabbing distance, you scamper out of the way, around a rock and out of sight. They completely ignore you and march on past, slowly, on the alert for larger threats.
"...Oh yeah, normal people don't think of cats as lethal threats. Duh." >.<
While trailing behind the hostiles, Dar'yajira buffs his legs' strength. He'll wait for his allies' ranged attacks to resolve, then leap onto the neck of the least injured foe remaining. He rakes with his hind legs until the spine gives, then leaps back away and takes cover.
Buff legs for a raking attack? Okay. You feel power build in your hind legs. Your fur stands on end. You leap on the one who hasn't been hit and rake his back, tearing chunks of flesh out. He screams. Oh, that probably did it. He also swings around wildly, reaching over his back to try to grab you and dislodge.
Noir prepares getting into a more rest stance focusing her charm magic ready to unleash it and pacify any enemy that appears.
You attempt to charm the three, but one has an arrow sticking out of him, one is hunched over clutching his leg, and the other is whirling around with something small, furry, and bloody on it's back. the two who aren't being mauled by something straight outta Monty Python both focus their attention on you. The one clutching it's leg points at you.
Dessmo lunges in with his sword and cuts the throat of the one Aylia shot. that one drops.
And Senna fires an arrow through the neck of the one Dar is mauling. That one sags as well, it's scream turning into a gurgle. Two down, one to go.
((good rolls for the npcs this round. Also, I'm rolling behind the scenes stuff for the rest of the combat as well))
You hear a commotion from up the path: What sounds like shouted orders, and people moving toward your location.
