Shortly before the murderous duo arrived on the scene, Samuel successfully cast hedge you bets to protect his party members for up to an hour. Hopefully the fight would conclude before then.
From what Samuel could tell from his spot a tell, these were two higher grade criminals, but the information he got  wasn’t complete since they were higher grade, seeing that the dagger one had a [b][Murderer D][/b] title, an [b][Abuser D] [/b]title  as well as a [b][Thief D] [/b]title.

Marcelin bolstering left everyone feeling better in their abilities, minds sharpened, strength and stamina a bit better.

It looked like it was similar for the fox man.

The west empire magic casting criminal paused when he felt and heard Marcelin insulting him and his compatriot, but it wasn’t normal his smug hostile expression quickly shifted to one of annoyance when his ears twitched and he winced. “Ngh..” He clenched his fists.

“I’ll make you regret that…disrespecting your superior.” he spat at Marcelin. It looked like his move had successfully distracted the castor.

It was harder to tell on the dagger wielding cloaked figure but they changed their stance a bit too, it could be assumed that it was successful on them too even though they didn’t say anything for the time being.


[color=#FFF394] “Oh that’s right! You’re from that nation that thinks that beasts are a superior breed!  Well I’m afraid that you’re sorely mistaken! I think you’ll find that  no matter where in the world I am, I’m the one whose on top of the pecking order.”[/color] Clarisse spoke arrogantly and smugly to the caster.


The beast caster snarled before he focused using some sort of componentless casting no doubt.

Suddenly five very hot and bright fireballs appeared above him and each came flying, illuminating the space in a reddish orangey glow  flew forward one targeting kain, another Renzo who looked stern and focused, another Clarisse, plus one on Marcelin and Samuel.

In addition two fiery barrier like auras enveloped both the criminal caster and the dagger wielder.

While this casting went off, the dagger criminal rushed forward very quickly, leaving about eight afterimages in their wake, but Renzo quickly moved into action moving fast in their own right, perhaps not as fast was the criminal though swinging his katana and clashing with the dagger wielder, as sparks flew between them, helping to protect the back line.


“He was tryin’ to go you magic lot! But I won’t let him get through!” Renzo called out, his beast eyes dilating a bit as he snarled, his katana becoming illuminated in a bluish ki type looking energy, perhaps some kind of blight.

Clarisse did her best to pivot into a counter.

[Aquae Glaciem Obsidionem!] She’d call out in Terran, her fan ahead of her, she’d send back five sizable chunks of ice and water at the sizable fire balls. She looked confident enough but deep down she wasn’t entirely sure how strong the spell the criminal had used and if she had used enough power to counter appropriately. Sure Samuel’s barrier should hold after she at least weakened the attack right?

Of course none of this showed on her body language or expression.
