Seeing the on-rush of goblins in her direction, Photina decided to activate the blocking spell, Healing Leaves, on herself as she had readied in accord with her innate bird summoning ability to buy her some time while she gathered the mana necessary to *call* the four birds to help protect her. She looks around at all the others fighting and realized that this might be it. [i]I have no adequate defences. I know of none strong enough to effectively destroy these foul creatures. Aye, this may be my end. Then I must protect others, once I can reduce my own threat.[/i] With a surge of energy from the many plains she has travelled (plains as in fields, not planes) to summon Orim, one of her closest advisors in the art of healing. By the time the goblins got to Orim and Photina, Orim managed to use a spell of his own to add some extra blocking power to the summoned bird, who, along with Orim herself, jumped in front of the Arsonist, since the goblins' music was making them charging harder than normal. Orim was immediately slain, being charred and sent flying past the arsonist. The bird somehow survived this barrage from the arsonist, who shot a ball of flame as he died at the bird, killing it. The other two goblins had no problem reaching Photina as she had no defences left. [i]Now, on to help others.[/i] [hider=My Hider] HP: 25 (3 damage blocked by Healing Leaves) Loyalty points: 4 (still. None gained nor expended) [/hider]
