S10:

Having used a bow for so long, Maka had long since added more rods to it. making the draw less flexible but significantly increasing its range. This has proved greatly beneficial when hunting. In the current situation of a sneak attack in a dark environment, it makes the short range, for him, seem like nothing at all. Though the sudden whirl of Astrid’s sling can be heard, it is rather indistinct, but the flash from the slingstone is greatly obvious. Oorvid readies his axes and moves forward slowly as the ripple of his rage courses over his skin, not that anything can currently be seen.

The four projectiles strike their respective targets, and the arrow from Maka completely incapacitates his first opponent. The others are all hurt and dazed, but these slavers are no slackers. The slaves themselves, some of whom cry out in alarm, crouch to the ground to be out of harm’s way. The slavers, all except one, ready weapons in their off-hands. They are all noticed to be doing something else with their dominant hand, but the purpose is not yet known.
