Travis looked over his latest kill, which so happened to be Roy. The witch hunter's luck had apparently run out, all lost in a last-ditch to save his skin. Travis couldn't blame him however for committing to such a brash and futile decision. Had Roy surely given up, what was to say that his current crew wouldn't come after him? Then again, considering the pile of bodies that was beginning to form on the ship, that was perhaps the least of his worries. If he had given up, Travis may have had negotiated a forceful removal of his person from the assaulted vessel and decide his fate against the waves irritated by the looming storm. It probably would have been a better wager that rushing a prepared Scholar.

It was then Nemo and Raiya arrived back at the scene through it appeared Raiya had seen better days. Travis assumed they had encountered just-as-tough resistance but hesitated to ask her, [i]especially her[/i], nor Nemo to even bring up the subject despite his curiosity regarding the matter. Still it was pleasant to hear their congratulations, for what it was worth.

Just has Nemo announced the name last of Siedon's henchman, Lori, did Lori herself respond with a killing shot which was promptly stopped by Nemo. As it so happens, they removed one hunter from play minutes ago just to adopt another one. [i]Great[/i]. 

Travis scrambled in to cover as fast as he could, already feeling the dreaded circumstance of being stalked once more by a killer. This time however, it would be someone he couldn't see nor anticipate coming. He watched as another shot meant for Nemo crashed into the deck, tearing up the frame work in a small flashy bang; their assailant was definitely not using conventional means to attack them that was for sure. Nemo soon looked to everyone seeking any suggestions on how to deal with the new and now dire threat Lori has firmly exerted.

He had then directed the same inquiry to Travis in what the Untalent would describe as the poorest of words to do so.

"Oh, just because I come up with some cool and fancy ideas, doesn't automatically mean I have a solution for every problem that spontaneously pops up!" Travis protested, sounding surprisingly triggered after Nemo, perhaps unintentionally in the matter, implied he would already have a plan. Nemo wasn’t wrong, but then again, the reintroducing threat of death once more likely wasn't helping him.

Raiya dove into her suggestion immediately and offered the idea of dispersing into defensible positions and only advancing after each shot thrown against them. To him the plan was simple and would no doubt spread themselves out and supposedly made them harder to target. However, the proposal didn’t fully address if this Lori that was hunting them could whip out any more powerful shots that could make cover or barriers alike inadequate. 

There was also the case of how many shots she could fire is succession. Travis figured the follow up shot taken at Nemo only occurred in mere seconds right after the other. Given Lori’s likely elevated position, it shouldn’t take her very long, seconds actually to pin someone down or kill them with corrected shots.

"Or any larger caliber shots. You did see how long that follow-up took right? Not very long,” Travis added, “I gotta ask too; who knows how to create and keep up a defensible barrier?”

“I’ll make my case simple. Remember that shade spell I used back in the catacombs? I could generate another one but on a larger scale,” he began, “Should be enough to temporarily kill the deck lights and allow us to move unseen. Manalysis will also will be ineffective too so that would keep her from tracking us.”

“Only problems though and the most obvious is that the spell can work against us too so I can imagine you can figure out how to address that. Plus the spell won’t last very long; a lot less in fact given the size.”
