Duncan, Ebony, Travis & Leonard
:: The Infantry Arrives ::
The Drider having being conjured, starts to disappear in it's death throws so Duncan strolls through it's dissipating form to maximize the dramatic effect. Stepping forward to survey the field, and waving his companions forward with his shield arm; swapping his sword for a wand as he does. He passes the two elves and comes to stand beside the Dwarf. He takes a measured look at the battle in front of them.
Ebony takes another shot at the giant (G17) she can see, then advancing beside her mate swaps out how bow for sword and shield. Joining the line in front of the elves between Ducan and the grey cloaked human. Like Duncan she is in her own battle trance. The flow of battle has slowed and she's set her attention to looking out for her fellow humanoids.
The lovers have a unique way of approaching battle. Their fighting is accompanied by the flowing babble of battle rap. The two keep up a near constant dialogue during combat that is both descriptive of the battle around them, while at the same time, lyrical, entertaining, and interposed with retorts, directions and warnings. Like listening to a sermon in church each ally on the field would swear the couple are speaking directly to them. Helping to guide their strikes and defensive maneuvers.
Despite this constant chatter, they don't seem to have any trouble mixing in conversation and spell casting. Their ongoing lyrical prose can easily be interrupted it seems with slow time or quick time word play, and then right back into the flow of the battle rap.
Duncan: "Beware my friends it looks as if magic aplenty is on this battlefield."
Leonard asks the question before they advance. "With the chaos of battle who should we engage?"
Duncan: "Thus far we've encountered Giant's and Driders, and Bears. So for now if it's decidedly bigger than you kill it."
Ebony: "Oh my!"
For their part the twin brothers Bronzeblade stomp forward, joining the chant and forming an interposing shield line in front of the two officers.
Everyone:
"Giant's, and Driders, and Bears.....Oh my!"
"Giant's, and Driders, and Bears.....Oh my!"
"Giant's, and Driders, and Bears.....Oh my!"
Once in place Duncan addresses the field holding his wand above his head with a flare.
"May the blessings of Heward the Traveler fall on all of you. So that each step forward brings you closer to your goal!" ( Casts Bless )
