Rezalith, you bark as another projectile impacts just a barb’s-length from your claw, you can perform magic, right!?
“Tch… <span class="mu-i">perform</span>...” Scoffs the satanthing as darts whiz above your heads, “I don’t <span class="mu-i">perform</span> anything–I… <span class="mu-i">REZALITH!</span> Shape the very cosmos themselves! Move mountains! Part seas! Remember when The Snack said Anton could do that? I can <span class="mu-s">ACTUAL-</span>”
We need <span class="mu-s">STEAM</span>, you hiss, just barely ducking another barbed bullet, <span class="mu-s">NOW!</span>
The devil opens her mouth to say something mean, but thinks otherwise when something buzzes a bit too close to her wing for comfort! Tucking them at her sides, she begins to intone some unfamiliar words beneath her breath… her gleaming eyes glowing warmer as each syllable slowly escapes her lips!
At the same time, you and the others watch with growing horror as her claws light up with fresh flames… a perfect beacon for whoever’s aiming your way! You want to warn her–maybe even tackle her to the ground, but before you can act–
‘<span class="mu-s">WHUMP!</span>’
The incantation leaves Rezalith’s mouth in a panicked yelp as Volka’s tail swats her legs from behind and sends her tumbling backwards! Perfect timing, too–as a spell surges above you like a rain cloud, another shot zips through the now no longer occupied space where the demon’s head just was!
Not one to waste a chance to cause mayhem, Rezalith lands in Volka’s lap and sends a ball of sinister, crackling flame skyward–the orb meeting the magical mist with predictable results!
<span class="mu-r">’THOOOOOM!!!’</span>
A thick cloud of sweltering fog blankets the crowd like spores from a Mountainous Cloudcap–which reminds you: you really ought to grab some on your next foray into the wilds so you can make some mushmeal ointment–igniting a panic amongst the crowds <span class="mu-i">AND</span> earning the attention of the local constabulary!
<span class="mu-b">”UnSANcTIONeD USE Of MAgIC!!!”</span> They drone in unison as their glowing eyes fade away in the mist, <span class="mu-b">”REMAiN WHEre YOu ARE… AdJUStING SeARch PAtTeRNS, INTerCEPT VecTOR PLoTTeD–”</span>
“There!” Rezalith huffs as she extricates herself from your sister’s embrace, “Happy!?”
Very, you reply with an appreciative nod, you’d be jumping for joy if you weren’t about to be killed.
“This won’t last long…” Tzah-Tzie whines as she sidles up next to your favorite Skog, “Whatever we’re gonna do, we’d better do it now!”
What’s next?
>Split up and try to find the snipers!
>All together now: find a sniper while they’re flatfooted!
>Create a distraction somewhere in the cloud!
>Get out of the crowd and out of this damn street!
>Have Rezzie fly someone to a vantage point!
>Write-In!
