Oberon was glad that he had thought to get above rat’s reach before it lunged for him and was equally glad for his recent point investment in Lesser Flight and Faster; without both of those facts he didn’t think he would have been able to avoid the attack like he did. Unfortunately the Mana Slice had missed both of the rat’s eyes, instead splitting the difference and drawing a bloody line between them, but as the creature shook its head it ended up partially blinding itself anyway, granting openings to both Ash and Torrent to land hits.

The rat lashed out with its tail but found nothing within range and Ash responded by dropping from above with some kind of spear held by her tail; when had she made that? The rat jumped, spinning in the air, and struck Digbie’s Earth Wall hard. A moment later it was rapidly climbing that same wall, grabbing the Goblin by the front of his robe, another new piece of equipment, and dragging him to the ground.

As the rat made a beeline for the trees Oberon flew after it, aiming to intercept the creature before he could get away. Even with his increased speed and flight capabilities however he didn’t think he had much chance of overtaking it; the rat was large and had a lengthy stride to match, not to mention the fact that it was fleeing for its life right now. [color=f49ac2]“It’s weak to fire and ice; don’t use water or poison! Magic only!”[/color] Quickly relaying the pertinent results from his analysis to the group Oberon created a Fireball in his hands and launched it ahead of the ROUS, aiming above the rat’s head to place a barrier of fire between it and the trees. Hopefully the creature possessed an animalistic fear of fire that would make it pause in its charge long enough for them to deal a more debilitating blow.

Creating another Mana Slice Oberon fired at the ROUS again, this time aiming low and at the rat’s flank, launching a horizontal blade in an attempt to damage the creature’s legs. In the back of his mind he made a note to investigate ways to immobilise opponents more efficiently in the future.
