A dugong stands behind a large set of wooden stands, crying "Firewood, get your firewood! The snow is coming, step up and get something to burn, keep yourself warm!" as he points his cane over the crowd. Workers behind him make a good show of pretending to be busy, passing firewood back and forth to eachother. The line isn't quite as long his other ventures, but still sizeable enough that the wait will be terrible. There appears to be a lapse in security, the only golems present stand directly in front of the dugong. A familiar serpent stands at the back of the line hissing "Now I know this is familiar." as she looks to her bandaged side, not quite healed up from her previous beating. She appears to be preparing a spell.
Arimia sighs softly when she sees the large crowd. And hears the familiar Dugong up in the front. She walks over to the serpent standing at the rear and reaches up to grab one of the snakes arms. "Uh-uh. You let someone else get their attention first so you don' end up in the same state as before. Or worse." After saying that she looks around before nodding to herself and starting to try and slip toward the front.
Saibh doesn't recognize this particular dugong, but she's had a bad enough runin this week already with the lumps to prove it even! Rubbing tenderly at the lump on her head, she makes her way over to a familiar face or two, having scanned the crowd. At best she offers a wave to them for now, listening to the pitch for now
Selena growls angrily at the sight of the Dugong, though she seems to ease up slightly at the sight of Arimia, Saibh and Bite. "Hello." She offers, giving each a nod of recognition before moving through the crowd to get a better view of the Dugong for targetting purposes as she readies an earth spell. The tone her voice takes makes it plain that she's not happy with the salesbeing at all, and to an unusually extreme degree.
The badger decides to take things at a different pace she walks around the line and begins leaning against the nearest tree keeping the dugong in her line of sight as she hefts her hammer up in the air and takes a few practice swings, "Alright." Kilsa sets the hammer in the ground as her gauntlets start to glow brightly and the hammer does as well. She stand there calm as ice as her hammmer glows brightly and sizzles against the dirt.
Sun following the annoying sound of the dugong trying to auction off his wood the tall grey wolf walks into the clearing. The workers can barely be called such as even he can tell half aren't putting up any effort. His hammer and musket hang from his back as a reasuring weight as he looks over the crowd with his dull grey eyes.
As Arimia pushes forward in the crowd one of the beings she passes glances over her then raises his hand, and makes a fist briefly before pounding his chest. The dugong takes note, also noting the spectacle that is now Kilsa. He hands the next being in line their wood then says "We're taking a short break. Come back later folks it will be half price." Part of the crowd groans and dismisses themselves. An arrow lets loose at Kilsa from the crowd, glancing off her armor, and dagger aimed squarely at Arimia's thigh misses the small raccoon completely. Bite is grazed by a third arrow, her body not quite able to perform a dodge correctly at the present time. "I think you folks need to learn to leave us well enough alone." the dugong calls out as he claps his hands once. From the now rapidly fleeing crowd five figures emerge, three already reloading arrows and two of them moving in on the raccoon. Bite lets out an explosion upon one of the bow weilders, her only option to prevent harming her friends with the explosive force.
Arimia laughs softly and gives a vicious looking grin, though her small statue likely isn't that intimidating. She reaches up and undoes the clasp on her cloak, letting that fall as her tentacles unweave themselves from behind her, spreading out as she adjusts the claw-like gloves she's wearing, the math on them flaring up brightly. She doesn't start moving toward the beings approaching her, instead simply shifting her stance into an odd blend of a duelist's elegant stance and something... Rougher, but no less effective looking. "Come on, then. I'll be sure to teach a better lesson than I did last time," she calls out toward the dugong, "Or are you gonna run like a coward again an' leave your men to get their asses kicked?"
Saibh is a bit slow to react to the ambush seeing as how she had been watching the wrong part of the crowd. Once it starts though, she begins to fight her way through said crowd, trying to use them to obfuscate her attempt to flank. As she does this, her well worn shortbow is drawn, partially obscured by her long coat as she notches an arrow. Once she's off to the side a bit, she crouches down, takes careful aim and begins to line up a shot on whichever one seems to be distracted with the attack from the others. Adjusting her aim, running a quick calculation of wind, she looses the arrow. One might notice she quickly shakes her left hand out after doing so, shaking loose a few tufts of fur
Selena shakes her head as she releases her spell, a deep rift cutting the the ground under the dugong for a moment. Selena glares at the being contmptuously. "You're not running this time, you spineless cur..." she growls in the wake of her spell, waiting to ensure the Dugong either can't get out or can't get away while keeping an eye on the proceedings as best as possible.
A savage growls come from kilsa not paying attention to the arrow that glance off of her as she heft up the white hot hammer and screams tossing the hammer with all her might at the at dugong, Her gauntlets are still glowing with the math that allows them to ignite yet cancel out the heat from burning her hands off. A grin crosses her face as she heft up her shield in front of her face hoping to join the fray with her allies.
Sun lets loose a growl as he sees the volley of arrows fly at people in the group. He would not tolerate such an unjust action. Seeing the group clearing he charges at one of the people with the bow as he draws the Hammer from his back in a downward smash at the marksmen.
"I'm here!" Kiyasai yowls as she sprints in her full armor and her helmet's visor down, only telltale sign the tail left hanging out behind her to keep her balance. Her hammer is held firmly in her two hands in front of her as she aims to charge past the group towards the group of ambushers, using her special array of lights to make it look like she has wings sprouting from behind her, if only to draw their attacker's attentions to her, and away from people more important. She dashes towards whoever is closest to the group.
The golems lurch out and yank the dugong upward as the fissure begins to close, crushing at his legs and taking away his stylish slacks. As soon as he's lifted up a flaming hammer smashes against the side of his head, knocking him out cold. An arrow lodges into one of the previous crowd hidden attackers, and one of them is knocked back by a hammer, although this does little to deter them from wheeling around and smacking sun on the temple and working to wrestle his hammer away from him. The workers that were behind the stall come out slowly, two mages in brilliant red robes lift their hands and then fire rains down from the sky, scorching all involved in the fray. Kilsa manages to avoid most of it with her shield but no one is spared the intense hellfire that spreads over the battlefield. Bite does all she can do, injuring her body she rases a powerful shield which deflects most of it back towards the casters.
