She was whittling them down–and quite effectively at that. Farren narrowed his eyes, certain he had to do something, but not sure what. He winced as Arrayah snagged, then began to maim Torquil–[i]‘dammit’[/i]--he cursed internally, gritting his teeth, then Ophelia’s voice reached him.

[i]‘Paarl’s Blood.’[/i]

The vial of Darkbeast’s Blood.

Farren felt a vicious grin slide onto his features, his azure eyes lighting up slightly–they’d dulled, growing dim as he neared a point of exhaustion. The hunter moved, dextrous as ever as he maneuvered his pistol onto its hook mid-jog. He didn’t simply slot it down, he dropped it with precise timing at a specific height and angle, and it caught the hook on the way down even as he moved forward and around Arrayah.

That hand then darted into a pouch and retrieved the vial.

At that stage he was nearer to Torquil than to Ophelia, arranged roughly halfway between the arrangement of her head and her outstretched left arm as it held his wounded ally suspended. Eyes wide to take in the positioning of each of her limbs, Farren shifted on his heel, plunged the vial into his flesh through the cloth of his garments, and depressed it.

The world slowed–no that wasn’t it–his perception of it had shifted. Then, distracting him from that strange sensation was a surge of vital energy pulsing into his body from the point where the vial had punctured his flesh. Before even he had slid the vial back into a pouch of empties, Farren felt that intense sensation of rejuvenating energy course through his entire body, his labored breathing and elevated heart rate circulating it in mere moments.

His offhand joined his main upon the Beastflayer and then he burst into a full speed dash at Arrayah. Brandishing his glaive, Farren didn’t attack immediately, but instead sought to bait an attack from Arrayah, drawing her attention to him.
