She landed on the rough wooden floor with a roll, a searing pain coursing through her arm as blood trickled from a gash. [color=FFCB86][i] He’s fast! [/i][/color] Luckily, Thraash had given her an opening with his token spicy burp of his. Just a few seconds later, she suddenly channeled her light energy with a focused intent. A brilliant flash of light erupted, momentarily blinding everyone in the room. The scene had shifted entirely once the glare subsided. Aerilyn now occupied the very spot where Mari had been standing just seconds ago, while Mari found herself in Aerilyn's place. However, known to Mari alone, this was not reality. She had not moved from where she stood. She was banking on the idea the warforged would at the least be confused a moment, if not fooled. Finally, she hurled the orb toward him. [color=FFCB86] “Okay you overgrown solar box. Attacking people the moment you walk into a place is VERY rude.”[/color] She got to her feet with a grin, [color=FFCB86] “I mean, my feelings are seriously hurt, and you haven't even given me a proper apology! Come on, isn't there something called manners anymore? No 'hello'? No 'how are you'? Geez!”[/color] She hurled a few smaller light orbs with each question, [color=FFCB86] “Where’d you learn your manners? Were you raised by beast men!?”[/color] Aerilyn held her breath as gas spewed from the Warforged after narrowly dodging her initial attack, forcing her to back off. Her attention was then drawn to Mari and the Dragonborn. She watched as flames shot forth towards the Warforged from Thraash, followed by a blinding flash of light. As the brilliance subsided, Aerilyn saw what appeared to be herself across the room where Mari just stood armed with a hammer, ready for action. [color=a187be]'Incredible!'[/color] She tightened her grip on her hammer and swiftly lunged forward for another attack. Aerilyn’s body had taken the form of a magical sphere glowing with radiance shot from an illusionary Mari to any onlookers.
