"Með godsrinn"Astrid says in Norikadian as she shakes her head moving forward as she waits to get into range to use her lighting against the closest target, hoping the leader is the closest. In her best Shimadow she says "Bring me that ones head!"She screams as tendrils of lightning spark off the ground.
Með godsrinn means By the Gods. As best I can get translated at least from old Norse. .
Volki charges her daggers with lightning and runs forward to engage with the closest enemy. “We won’t eat your hearts, but we will take them as trophies.”
Askari will waste no time, charge in, and engage in melee. If they move to flank him, he will shield bash one opponent and use that opening to maneuver out of the flank. Trying to keep an attacker in between him and the other attackers.
NOTE: Astrid is best at lightning. Volki should use acid(damages Body) or venom(damages Mind). Wrenn should quit heating his stone arrowheads and use acid on his opponent simultaneously.
Askari moves with a speed and liquid fluidity belying his physical stature. He closes and engages with the first Shimadow Rover before any of them can even think to throw a javelin. He manages to cut the first opponent twice, causing minor harm and keeps the second at bay with his buckler, though unable to do any damage with it. Before he falls, the first opponent sticks Askari with a javelin, causing significant injury. His second opponent turns and throws a javelin at the approaching Volki, causing harm, though some was deflected by her tunic.
Oorvid, though slightly slower to react, moves with enhanced speed. He cuts his first opponent twice, causing him to fall, before turning on the second and cutting him for injury, as well. In the course of the melee, he takes two javelins through the tunic.
Astrid releases a visible bolt of electricity that travels 13 strides from her relocation to strike the first opponent of Askari, adding to his hurt. In turn, a hidden Shimadow throws a javelin at her that strikes her side below her protective mantle and cuts a painful gash.
Like Astrid, Wrenn causes more harm to the opponent of Askari by grazing him with an arrow. Unfortunately, Wrenn is niched by a javelin of a previously hidden foe.
Once Volki reaches her first mate, her flanking position gains her an added advantage and her knife cuts deep, dropping the enemy to the ground.
By the time he can throw, Hiroshi sees that Askari needs more help than Oorvid and throws a javelin at the one who was pushed away with a shield, not wanting to risk throwing into melee. The javelin is partially deflected by clothing. In return, Hiroshi is the target of an ineffective javelin launch from a hidden Shimadow.
All things seeming to be about even, the Shimadow do not frighten from the visible display of magic innate talent from either Astrid or Volki and show intent to continue fighting.
OOC:
Logistics: Askari and Oorvid are in melee with a single opponent each. Astrid is 13 strides from that melee and 10 strides from her previously hidden opponent. Hiroshi is about 5 strides from the melee and 10 strides from his previously hidden opponent. Volki is double teaming with Askari. Wrenn is remains at 11 strides from the central melee with a previously hidden opponent 5 strides from him.
Wrenn will affect the no-longer-hidden opponent with acid, as he brings his bow up for a second shot (also against the opponent who came out of hiding.)
Acid = 55
Bow = 91+96 = 187... man, I wish I could get that lucky on the acid roll
Now that Volki is near the enemy she decides to use a venom attack on him hoping to make him less capable of fighting. Then she will take another swing with her daggers.
Askari will ignore the injury and focus on his opponent. He will fight defensively, trying to occupy his attention and trusting on Volki to finish him. If the opponent move to attack Volki, he will aggressively go on the attack.

Though the javelin missed its mark, it only takes that one throw for Hiroshi to spot his previously hidden opponent by following the trajectory backward to its source. He runs toward the new Shimadow, launching one more of his own javelins as he goes. When the javelin flies, it is accompanied by a bolt of electricity, dancing visible sparks along the stone blade.
Astrid eyes flair as she is wounded. She turns her attention to the enemy who struck and slaps her hands together before thrusting her hand forward and sending a bolt of lightning toward him.
