[color=fff200][h3]Alaira Taenn[/h3][/color]Alaira nodded as Ssarak explained the basic plan... any plan involving smashed skulls and charred bandit corpses was a plan she liked. She quickly stalked back into the brush, three minutes wouldn't be very long at all, and if she struck too early support may not be able to arrive in time. She trusted Darius to let her have the first strike, as she had a battle-plan in the works that would [b]certainly[/b] demoralize them. She scaled a tree a ways ahead of the bandits, watching them intently as she counted the minutes down... Two minutes left, the bandits were approaching... She adjusted her grip on her mace, exhaling softly. She was itching to smash'em now, but patience would be rewarded... One minute... if they got too much further the main-camp bandits might get their shit together when it all went down... Ten seconds, they were getting close. She ground her teeth, reaching her hand to the metal objects she kept on her belt... Three... two... one... She leapt into the air, assisted by her magic as she struck her hand against all six of the devices in total, power she had only dreamed of coursing through her, wreathing her form in a storm of crackling energy. She was completely obscured by the energy, appearing as lightning molded into the shape of a mere mortal. She bellowed a mighty war-cry, the nimbus of power distorting her voice into something inhuman as she came crashing down to earth, aiming for the big man in the robe... ...And struck, screaming as all the energy was forced into him... and beyond. A maelstrom of thunder and lightning issued forth, Bolts and tendrils lashing out at everyone nearby as her primary target was annihilated, His body collapsing into ash and exploding with a loud bang. She stood slowly, stomping a boot down as ash fell from her, small arcs of residual power reaching from her as she bashed her mace on her shield.
