[hider= Combat 2, Round 1][@JBRam2002]As the lights descended in front of the party, Mila stood to her feet, a look of confusion on her face. "I thought we got rid of the summoner!" she called out, surprise evident on her face. She stepped away a few paces and cast a spell, encasing her body with a thin sheen of ice. [color=00746b]"Get ready; there's a whole host of them coming!"[/color] [Casting Armor of Agathys (at level 2 from racial ability) to gain +10 Temp HP and a defensive buff that deals 10 cold damage to any enemy that hits her with a melee attack. She then steps to the East 30 feet, getting as far away from the potential enemies as possible.] [@The Grey Dust]More? Was this Valhalla? A realm of infinite battle, where warriors fight and fall, whisked away to the great halls for mead and mutton? A short reprieve to make minor talk, recuperating themselves as well as they could. The battle had left the pair unscathed, but the others may have had some injuries to mend and wounds to lick. Nothing major that would kill them, but certainly the other two women left in the group were no warriors. The demon-kin looked more of a tavern wench, and the halfling looked more like some puny librarian. The male dwarf was perhaps the only one Alex could feel some level of kinship with as a warrior, yet he looked unimpressive for male with more stocky paunch than true muscle. Yet these were the trio Alex had left to deal with as Mila suggested a short reprieve. With a shrug of powerful shoulders, Alex took to watching their open position, keeping spear and guard ready as the others made their introductions. The Valkyrie need nothing of a rest for herself, her training kept her body in peak prime physicality, and yet against witchcraft she had no true defense to ward off such dishonorable trickery. Thus Mila and Harridan would be good to balance out such shortcomings. Within moments the summoning light appeared, no horn blew to announce the next wave, yet with tightened grip around her spear and a divine wave of rippling muscles stirring beneath the rustle of her green garb... [color=BADB01]"Get behind me girls, Adal stay with them. Dwarf, you're with me."[/color] [Bonus action: Alex enters rage] [@Azena]Rygar spent most of the downtime in meditation. During this time, the reality of the situation began to set. Everything about this place was foreign. Even the air felt different than home. Without a doubt, he was far from home and couldn't help but to feel concern about how he'd return. For the time being, he'd have to put his faith in Mila to conjure up some means. He didn't like having to trust someone he just met, but what choice did he have? The building in the distance certainly could hold answers, or simply more threats. Rygar didn't like being so uncertain of his next move. Rygar felt the air shift. The others began to move. He opened his eyes to a pool of white light forming in front of them. That light had brought them together and gave him tentative allies, but also an enemy. He was not willing to gamble his safety on the allegiances of new arrivals. Especially, not with doubt of the witch's fate and her desire for vengeance. Taking note of their last encounter, Rygar moved and prepared for battle; channeling his fury. [color=DA7A55]"My name is Rygar, and I am with you."[/color] [Rygar moves 50ft to the treeline, the north-east corner of the pool of light. Spends his action to ready his shield and his bonus action to enter rage.] [@16 Bit]A quick look behind her and Harridan saw what everyone else did. It was a bit suprising to her to see that there were so many so soon, but she supposed there wouldn't be much rest here for the time being. The Valkyrie gave orders like a true leader, though to her it didn't seem like the party was on that level of cooperation yet. As such, Harridan ran where she thought best. Running through the blinding light to find a clearing in the middle of it. [color=B0E0E6]"Mallory, left. Shield."[/color] Hopefully, this wouldn't put her in too bad a spot, but if these new comers proved to have potential for a better group, she wouldn't mind switching sides. [Harridan activates her shield. Running 30 feet NW in the middle of the light. Swtiching her psychic focus.] [@The Grey Dust]This was... Not as intended. Sure the dwarf Rygar did take the northeast, allowing Alex to sweep in the southeast with Mila taking a distance away. But it seemed the halfling had other plans, charging into the field of light with her entourage it seemed. Of which The Valkyrie's suggestion to trust in her might in leading the charge seemed to fall on short ears. At least the horned girl appropriately allowed their front-liners to take the brunt of the incoming assault. A myriad it seemed, coming in from who knows where... Thus leaving Alex's side, the unicorn trotted easily over to Mila, a soft glow to its magical spiraling horn. Undead, angels, demons, fey, what enemies are they? [Move Action: Adal moves east to within 10 feet to the North Side of Mila. Action: Adal Casts at will: Detect Evil and Good (Concentration)] [@16 Bit] Mallory moved west as his master commanded. If he had thoughts, he'd loved to know what his master was thinking; but as a mechanical servent he did his job perfectly. [Mallory moves 20 ft west and awaits further orders][/hider] ------------------------------- [img]https://i.imgur.com/0h3IhQ1.png?1[/img] [i]The light solidifies and takes shape. Revealing the face of 15 undead mindlessly shambling in place. However, the zombies were not the only ones pulled through as amongst their numbers were two people caught in whatever conflict fate had sent them in to. One, a black tabaxi. And the other, a human merchant (judging by the bag of wares strapped to her back).
