[i]"Whoo. They work fast."[/i] Between Alexander's flashbang, and Vanahara's efficient manhandling, Joey quickly realized his mage buddies were surprisingly ready to brawl. After taking on hordes of elementally-manifested beasts in a dangerous storm, he'd guess dispatching some roguish mages was next to nothing. Either way, he felt he wanted to get involved before they'd run out of bad guys. He blasted from his seat as Drew attacked, bounding over the table, vaulting off the fire mage, and flying towards the rogue Earthshaper. Leave it to Joey to make a target out of the biggest mook in the room. He made mental mention of the armor, and how he couldn't exactly do something like that. But, Ling's acid worked its way through the thick rock, weakening the mineral. The impact of that shot, mixed with its eroding acid, could easily provide Joey with rocky shards that he could work into an offense. With an outstretched fist, Joey crashed into the man, sending him to the ground, and leaving a small, but growing, crumbling crater in his chest armor. With a thrust and a swing, Joey extracted the shards and pebbles created from the combined efforts, and rolled away, with a series of sharp, acid-coated projectiles floating by a hand. That armor was tough, he had to admit. He knew he wouldn't be able to tear it down with his premature abilities. So instead, he cocked his head towards the seemingly element-less rogue. "So uh...you sellin' them knives, mate? I'll gladly take 'em off your hands." He quipped.
