[QUOTE="Myth and Legend, post: 5156854, member: 82679"] Lora's eyes had been fixated on the nearest enemy, finally recognizing them as Elves and thus being Treylor troops OR some of Tira's kin. It was then that she felt the searing pain bite in her thigh - a viscous arrow had stuck itself in the soft flesh of the seventeen year old girl's leg, piercing her smooth pale skin and drenching her white dress with fresh blood. The wound was deep, and very dangerous - there was an artery there, at least that was what Lora could remember now from Mirella's teachings. The pain throbbed with her heartbeat and Lora dropped down, feeling a slight sting coming from her shoulder - easily overlooked in light of the piece of wood stuck in her leg. Lora hissed sharply and did what her instinct dictated - she released her spell, returning back to her original size, and ducked in the high grass. The girl then reached in her spell component pouch with a trembling, blood-soaked hand, and produced a small quail egg, several months past expiration at least. She threw it at the grass, somewhere between her and the unseen archers in the forest, gasping out [COLOR=DarkOrange]"Mucera nox!"[/COLOR] trough her teeth. [I][COLOR=DarkOrange]"Who teaches these Nobles battle tactics, am i the only sane person here?!"[/COLOR][/I] [COLOR=DarkOrange]"DAMN YOU VANCE AND YOUR CHARGE! WE ARE IN AN AMBUSH AND SHOULD RETREAT, NOT FIGHT THEM ON THEIR TERMS *gasp* YOU IDIOT!"[/COLOR] Lora shouted as she gripped the wound, hoping the tip of the arrow did not pierce the arterial wall. If it did, Lora would have about five minutes before her blood soiled the grass and she fell unconscious. Her hope was that the Harkon men would turn back and allow Lora and her own group to retreat with dignity. She would not risk her men's honor in a premature retreat. [sblock]She releases Enlarge Person (a free action if i remember correctly from the suitor encounter) Lora then casts [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=5155366"]Cloud of Bewilderment[/URL] so that it provides concealment from the line of sight of those in the forest, and drops among the grass for more concealment should she be still in someone's sight because of the limited range of the spell (10ft. cube). Lol she's cursing at nobles now :D But Lora doesn't have battle smarts - she has only ever read books and trained with the militia. I imagine she has read the equivalent of Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" which I myself have read, and thus know it's folly to fight on the enemy's terms. And now these Elves have us exactly where they want us, which is why she gave the order to retreat at first (which of course, valiant Vance ignored). I'm not sure if Lora can get away with a mock imitation of his "charge my noble Knights" later on (assuming she survives of course). Which reminds me, what happened to those potions we found?
