[QUOTE="Rhun, post: 3244924, member: 29098"] Before any of you can react, two of the creatures with the bows fire upon you from their vantage point above. The first arrow strikes Zeddicus, its red feathered shaft piercing armor and flesh as it lodges deeply in the man's shoulder. As the pain of the initial strike subsides, Zedd feels the wound burning as he recognizes the insidious affect of poison entering his blood. Still, he manages to push aside the initial disorientation associated with the poison. The second arrow goes wide, as the excited little humanoid releases his grip before taking the proper aim upon his target. Seril adopted the Flowing Wind stance as he had trained and half closed his eyes. Focus on the arrow and nothing more. Your bow is the extension of your will, your ability to manipulate the world. His hands blurred as he aimed at shot the arrow he held ready, and then, quickly, pulled another from his quiver and let it fly. Unfortunately, the first arrow seems to deflect harmlessly of the creature's hide, while the humanoid dodges nimbly out of the way of the second arrow. Helios shakes his head. [color=red][i]Closely grouped at a great distance. Heh, sucks to be them.[/i][/color] The fire mage gestures and incants again. This time the motions and syllables are considerably more complex but also more rapid, as if they came as second nature. As the spell is completed, a glowing white-hot bead arcs toward the figures on the cliff. While its still in the air, Helios scampers in a crouch directly behind Seril. The white-hot bead explodes with a deep bass rumble, and the ledge and surrounding area are engulfed in flames. The bodies of the small humanoids above are hurled about like ragdolls, and after a few moments all that is left is some smoke and the sound of the waterfall splashing into the pool.
