Then, there was a sound of a finger snap.
A great pall of energy suddenly bore down on them, the warband found themselves sapped of strength and vitality. Nerves lit up in frenzied pain, Muscles atrophied and degenerated, Bones spontaneously became poreous, the very membranes of their cells screamed in agony as they struggle to maintain coherence.
With steps of deliberately echoing clacks against tiled calcite, Sathriel made her entrance as the spell that hid her and her runic field of bone obelisks revealed themselves in full. A pair of bone monoliths burst out from the ground flanking the Arbiter, from which Solomon and Yan Wang emerged out of its black facade, their claws flexing at the ready, engraved eldritch runes lighting up in a mesmerizing pattern along their augmented limbs.
"Injustice has been left unanswered. In the name of the great equalizer, I move to tip the scales." Sathriel spoke.

Almost immediately after Sathriel's proclamation the Arbiter's enforcers were upon the members of Susan's Warband before any of them could react, seemingly to unable to properly respond under the overwhelming initiative of the Arbiter's Clawed enforcers as Solomon and Yan Wang would carry and shred their unfortunate victims through a dizzying array of other monoliths before finally being crucifying them as amputees, incapacitated by glowing scripts running along their bodies like chains upon the obsidian monoliths throughout the field. Each incapacitating crucifixion seemingly served to accelerate the speed and brutality of the two enforcers.
Meanwhile Susan engaged a desperate offense against Sathriel as she Dodged, weaved, dived, and ducked through a storm of gold rune-engraved pillars of many shapes and sizes in order to blitz the Arbiter with such speed and ferocity that Sathriel could do naught else but deflect oncoming hits and glancing blows.
"WHO SAID YOU COULD INTERFERE?"
"Since when wasn't I involved in this case?" countered Sathriel who smiled gleefully despite being on the back foot. "Surrender. You have already lost."
Sathriel's verbal blow baited the Lycanthrope into a wild unfocused offensive, pinning the Arbiter against a monolith with one hand, the other clawing away with blistering fury. Sathriel's reaction to her offensive push however gave her pause and raised her hackles. Sathriel's wide smile grew even wider as the Arbiter seemingly melted back into the monolith, pulling Susan with her until the wolf-woman's arm was stuck within the blackened bone up to the elbow. The Monolith's surface shifted, the engraved runes rearranged themselves to form an array of circles and lines that briefly distracted Susan, her Lupine eyes widening in recognition and horror.
