Flicker did eventually return to the group with their food, though they remained quiet and sullen for the rest of the evening. The addition of strangers coming to join their group didn't improve their mood, either, and pointedly avoiding eye contact with both them and Jormund. They were in the process of getting up and making some halfhearted attempt to excuse themselves when the arrows started raining down around them, setting various parts of the environment ablaze, and even sending a guard from the top of the watchtower hurtling down to the ground. Miraculously, he seemed to survive the fall, but needed medical attention immediately.

With the injured man and needing reinforcements against this onslaught, Flicker's goal was clear. [color=f7941d]"On it,"[/color] they responded to the Highwayman - the first time the fire genasi had properly addressed them this entire evening - and before anyone could say anything, they went charging towards Paxton, doing their best to dodge the arrows along the way. Once they reached the wounded highwayman and were safely hidden behind the tower, they would inspect him. [color=f7941d]"Hey, do you think you can stand? I've got a medical kit on me. If I get can you inside the the tower, I can do my best to patch you up."[/color]

[hider=OOC]Flicker takes the Dash action and moves 65 feet towards Paxton and the tower. They then do a running long-jump of 10 feet over Paxton to get behind the tower.
