Alice snapped herself to attention at the Lizardman's calls, and thanked Ragnarok quickly that he had joined with them. She quickly brought her weapons to bear and started moving to hide when Beren shouted for her. Seeing his plan quickly and aware of her own weaknesses, she scrabbled up onto a nearby overlook. It might have been a balcony once, but the railings and stairs leading up to it were gone making it a not-too taxing effort to clamber onto. More to her advantage it offered enough protection to leap behind when she was inevitably spotted, magic was very good at drawing attention. She shouted down her thanks to the monk below her, and tried to take stock of the situation. Her ears were not as sharp as the Lizardman's so she couldn't source them yet, but if she had to bet on a direction for them to approaching from, it would be from the tight press of buildings off the plaza, where they would be covered from her allies missile fire for the longest time. She quickly grabbed a good weighted rock for throwing. Instead of drawing it back just yet though, she crouched down, wand in hand and started to carve upon it two glowing symbols (and five dots). As with all magic of it's sort, it could take weeks of dedicated practice to even carve correctly for the first time, let alone perfectly every time, but in this she could handle herself like a master. Time crawled to a halt with her every exacting movement, her craftsman's focus shutting out everything else as that small rock slowly became something greater than the sum of it's parts. In all honesty it was a fairly simple spell, but it could mean all the difference. [@Fetzen][@BCTheEntity][@Sypherkhode822][@POOHEAD189][@Banana][@Ink Blood]
