Gwen watched as Pox came up to her, The boy's knowledge of the healing arts and everything that went with it was impressive, although he was deceptively polite. "[color=a187be][b]From what Jing told me you are one of the best healers around, Although he seems to think his crew is the best of everything so I'll take that with a grain of salt.[/b][/color]" She said in a bit of a cold voice. Although he had never given her reason Gwen did not trust the Apothecaries and for good reason from previous interactions with the group. She watched as he quickly cooked up a few doses of anti-venom and gave her nod of approval, "[color=a187be][b]I'll stick to magic if that's all the same, but be ready to use those antidotes if needed.[/b][/color]" She cautioned. When the question of defense came up Gwen just smiled and her hand lit up in a ball of flame, "[color=a187be][b]Ohh I can very well defend myself you have nothing to worry about there.[/b][/color]" She said with a bit of a wicked smile before turning her attention to the oncoming threat.


The sound as the enemy approached was different than what was to be expected, almost as if something was being drug instead of footsteps. The assault started with a volley of arrows from the darkness, One of the arrows struck Jenramo in the arm with the others harmlessly digging themselves into the sandy ground. Then they came from the shadows a party of Fifteen Snake Men, Five armed with [url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/53/39/26/53392635d51468e22570fbfd966c8d19.jpg]Bows[/url] and the other ten armed with [url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/1c/63/e1/1c63e1acf58f3bc534940bd7d40a35b1.jpg]swords[/url] The front three Sword wielders held javelins and as they came into range began to throw. Shion was quick to act letting loose an arrow of his own striking one of the warriors in its shoulder throwing off its aim and letting the javelin fly harmlessly off to the side. Alm was quick enough to deflect the second javelin out of the air splitting it into two and eliminating that threat. The third javelin's flight path aimed it directly at Pox. After the javelins flew the warriors advanced on the Irregular's front line. One of the warriors was taken out by a direct hit from one of Gwen's fireballs and two of the others nearby flinched from the burns. The archers on the other hand spread out moving to take positions that were favorable to them. One quickly slithered up a pillar trying to get a birds eye view but was shot down as Shion placed an arrow right between its eyes dropping the beast quickly. Jing gave the command to attack and He, Alm, and Jenramo moved forward to engage the Snakes hopefully to create openings for the back line fighters. Although before they could move and against his will Jenramo felt a numbing sensation in his arm, if we looked he would see a greenish beam coming from Gwen stuck to his arm drawing out a deep purple venom from the wound, although doing nothing for the injury itself just removing the poison.
