She was good at keeping quiet. Her breath steadied to a soft inhale and exhale, barely audible, especially over the crackling of wood in the background. She moved around slowly, an eye scanning the tavern for the thing ... whatever it was that started all of this. 

Just then, someone else came in. [color=1a7b30]"Here...kitty...kitty...kitty..." [/color] Her focus was shattered and one false step sent a creek in the wood beneath her feet giving her position away. [color=darkcyan][i]dammit![/i][/color] The newcomer dashed towards her ready to attack, but Isabeau dodged just in time. Crouching low to the floor, she steadied herself once more, her eyes locked on the woman before her. [color=1a7b30]"Ya' wouldn't happen ta be the bastard that set my favorite tavern on fire yeah?"[/color] Isabeau didn't answer. The woman seemed to be capable enough, but Izzy couldn't help but think of running her axe through her head. [color=darkcyan][i]Of course I'm not the one responsible for all of this...[/i][/color]

The woman screamed a string of words that only made Izzy chuckle. She could like this one, if only she didn't give their damn position away. [color=darkcyan]"Are you a fucking idiot or something? Do you see the damage this thing has done? You want him to have the upper hand here or us? Let us hope the others get here quickly or you might have just killed us all"[/color] Izzy scowled and slowly moved away from Jade [color=darkcyan]"Magic is a tricky thing unfortunately. I doubt what ... whatever is in me will work very well, but I'll give you what I can."[/color] she nodded slowly still backing away. She made herself small and hid behind a crate. She held her breath a moment and let the lingering smoke surround her [color=darkcyan][i]I am not afraid[/i][/color] she whispered to herself and suddenly she disappeared from view. She was still there obviously, but the smoke and shadows of the nearly destroyed tavern hid her well enough from the human eye.
