[h3]Asset Goal: We’ll just have to see, won’t we?[/h3]

There was no time to quip. Not even a chance to ask why Severin had destroyed the scrying orbs.

Shortly after confirming the girl’s status, both Esther and Severin were attacked by the creature. There was no time to assess what the others were doing. Hopefully they would help in their own way, be it spiriting away the child or tending to Maid’s overgrowth. 

Against such an opponent, it was important for the team to not overextend themselves and maximized their effectiveness. The temptation was to go all in on the roots attacking Severin, but the encroaching vines could have taken them both out of the fight. Could she do something about all of it?

She wasn’t skilled enough to play anything complicated on the run, so she stood her ground. Even with Severin’s menacing aura and the situation being what it was. She began to play, and her music took shape. A single ribbon of light attempted to intercept not only the roots but the vines that swarmed them. It was fast and precise, and narrowly avoided hitting any of her allies. From a distance, it might have looked like a giant dome of yarn made out of light was forming. She played furiously, attempting to keep up with the creature’s quickening tempo.
