The paths up to the area the unit specified in their request for aid isn't too difficult to traverse, mainly leading individuals through a heavily tree filled area via worn down foot paths, before reaching a large series of trees that had been cut down to form a large barricade before a open field. The field beyond is rather short, at maybe a mile and a half in length before coming up to a make shift encampment surrounded by a wooden walls with spikes sticking out from then. Thankfully, the night and foilage of the approach is keeping everyone hidden from any guards along the walls at the moment.
Close to where the foot paths all merge near the only break in the make shift barricade, is a German Shepherd with a Captains insignia upon his tabard, and Kalt with her heavy armor and light bringers emblem on her shoulder. Both pressed against the barricade while awaiting the groups arrival.
After the last 'incident' in the pass, there's little way Selena would even consider missing a second call out. Approaching the shepherd and fox, she offers a half-wave, not raising her hand too high to avoid attention or being noticed by anything else that may be in the pass.
"Kalt, I'm not surprised to see you here. Did you or Angus manage to turn up anything about that odd emblem you found the last time?" she asks curiously.
It was kind of hard to tell just when Cassidy arrived on the scene, but it was probably rather recently. Maybe she didn't even know, herself! Stepping from the tree line and very nearly the night itself, the masked fennec slinks up towards the group, coming to a sudden halt. Unlike Kalt, her own Lightbringer emblem was not on display. "Good evening, good evening. This is the right side of the field, yes?"
Garma rolls along the path with his trusty cannon, following those who would take the path before him as he keeps an eye on his surroundings. No need for an ambush or some sly business to go down on the way is there? As he approaches the destination he spots a few recognizable faces, taking note of who exactly he would be grouped with and trying to decide who to stick around. "Hey, you wanted some assistance right?" he says, not at all showing shame as he flexes for those present.
Angus Walks up quickly, ignoring that his leg was still aching a little bit from the bolt he took a few days ago. But there was no way he was going to miss this, not after he had been here for the last attack. The fox already had his musket out, bayonet afixed on the barrel as he steps up to the group and grins. "A nice evening for a raid is it not?" He asks, as his eyes dart over their surroundings in case of ambush.
An arrow sinks into the dark earth as a kit fox seemingly floats from the treeline, his cloak billowing behind him revealing the air that's stopping gravity from affecting him adversely. His shoulder seems well enough, a wing still jutting out of his back, kept there to avoid injury while his wound heals. "I've got a score to settle." He growls.
Kalt shrugs gently to Selena as she smirks. "Nope, ain't rightfully heard nuttin' bout'em till the fella's here went callin' for aid an' all." The Vixen giving a nod to the others and a slight chuckle at Garma's flexing, before giving a nod to Angus as the Vixen pulled herself from the side of the Barricade and picked up her spear.
The German shepherd looks over those present for a moment with a slight huff before giving a slow nod of his head. "You'll all work I suppose. Relax as well, they can't see us behind their own barricades. Though I will say the idea to funnel anyone through one entrance is a clever idea of their own... Anyways, I'm Captain Heron Payne of his Majesties forces. My unit is tasked with wiping this threat off the map, and a little extra help doesn't hurt, as my main force is currently dealing with their scouting camp." The Captain pushing himself forward, before peeking around the entrance and down at the walled encampment. "Thick walls made from the trees around here, but we've a plan to get through that. Two of my more stealthy boys are going out to set up some barrels along those walls, and on my signal they'll blow a nice big hole for you all."
His body turning back to the group slowly as he smiles. "I won't lie, this will be dangerous. But, we're offering a high pay, and any treasure you loot from the encampment is your own, save for anything with military inscriptions upon it. Now, any questions?"
Selena tsks quietly. "Well, that's a shame. It would've been helpful." She notes - another of her half-waves offered to the other familiar beings present. "Angus, it's good to see you've recovered proper. And Jera, are you feeling any better?"
That said she turns back to the Shepherd. "I heard that, Heron. Anyway - what I want to know is what we're expecting to find here." She asks - perhaps a little bluntly. "Either way, if I was expecting this to be easy I'd be out of my mind."
Cassidy gives a polite nod to Angus. He would likely recognize her, if no one else did. "Yes, I cannot imagine it will be either easy. Hopefully I won't die!" Her statement is punctuate with a quiet, hollow chuckle. "Anything we need to know in advance before heading in there? What kind of numbers we're expecting, or anything?"
Garma listens for a moment and looks to his cannon, then laughs. "Why I'm sure we could have put a hole in it with a good old mage and my cannon. So we're making multiple entrances, and going in. Wipe them out, then, take the reward?" he asks with a half smile. "Alright, if that's the job then let's go." he adds finally as he starts polishing his cannon.
Angus blinks, turning to Heron. "Wait, you're saying they have military equipment? What did they get?" He asks as he gives his cousin a nod, flashing the others a smile before he taps his chin, thinking on the plan as he eyes Garma's cannon, an idea coming to mind. "You bring any special shells with you today Garma?"
"Yeah. That's serious." Jera lands softly, into a kneeling position. He looks at Angus for a while. "Kind of Angus' new appointment to make sure all the military equipment is kept in check. The kit fox nods to Selena. "Yeah, it is. But I don't think I have it in me to take a dedication form right now."
The Captain gives a slight nod to Selena as he clears his throat gently and straightens his posture. "A fair question, and an important one. As far as we can tell, they've done a pretty damn good job of wrangling up enough bandits and low lifes to make swarming their opponents their main tactics. As such, we know for certain they took down one military supply caravan carrying two cannons, and plenty of arms and munition... As far as we can tell though, they kept the cannons up at the scouting point to use on unsuspecting caravans. Aside from that, they're going to be well armed, poorly trained, and desperate. Use your wits and your own training and you should all make it out of this... If something happens to you, I'll try to have Roger use his air magics to move in and quickly nab anyone who's too hurt. You lot may be adventurers, but that doesn't mean your expendable, and on that note neither is Roger. If you get seperated and it's too dangerous for him, you're on your own and I'm sorry about that." He gives a slight nod before clearing his throat once more. "They may have prisoners as well, we've seen some burnt carts along the paths on our way here, along with another freesword whom decided he was going to scout ahead that I've not heard from... So if you see a Ram in fancy blue leather armor, he's on your side and should be rescued, or his body treated with the due respect it deserves please."
Another short nod is givin from the Captain before he takes a step up onto the barricade, his hands readying a fire spell behind the concealment. "I'll give you a moment to prep before firing the signal... After that, it's your own dash through the field."
Kalt adjusts her armor for a moment before picking up her new tower shield and readies it infront of herself as she moves closer to the point. "I'll work at keepin' their arrows an' such on me when we're runnin up, an' let's really go workin' to not get split up an such."
Selena nods, tapping a foot on the ground for a few moments as she considers, readying herself for the incoming combat through the conjuring of her seemingly ubiquitous fire elemental. "Just let me know if you see something that I should target with the elemental. It should be able to do a good job hit and runs, but regardless - I'd still like to avoid killing anyone." She notes.
" Well, I'll stay between you and and a hard place if I can, Kalt. I'd rather not get shot full of holes; there's only so much earth magic can do."
Cassidy first draws the black and violet sword, then her silver dagger in her left hand, working her grip on them as she rolls her shoulders. "I am ready. Try not to get shot full of arrows, yourself, in the process. That would be rather unfortunate, and I might have to scold you." She taps lightly against Kalt's armour with the tip of her sword. "When we begin, I will follow."
Garma looks to Angus and laughs. "I've got all kinds of special going on with this, just give me a moment to prep something before we go on in." he says as he begins to start the process of something that will likely end in explosions. He looks amongst the group briefly as he does, a smile on his face. "I think we'll have a good time with this one! I'll keep out of your path, you'll do great."
Angus flicks his ears as he hears that there will be prisoners, crossing his arms as he thinks. "Well Garma, I have a nice target for you." He turns to both Jera and Cassidy, putting his hands on his hips. "You two think you can stir up some winds to batter at the bandits?" He asks before turning back to the Crab. "Since we have possible prisoners I'm wondering if you could try and overlap a shot on the front gate a few seconds after the explosion, give the bandits some time to rally their before hitting them hard. Sound good?"
Jera nods at Angus' order and then looks at the crab for a moment. He waves his hands in the air and then works up complex air magic to get a tailwind started, though that's taking most of his focus right now as he starts to pant a little from the effort.
The winds stir slightly, moving enough to give a strong breeze over the fields before the Captain gives a nod and throws his hands up. The prepared spell of his shoots high into the air, lighting the field and walls of the encampment for a single moment before four roaring explosions rock the ground in squence! The wooden walls facing the group left splintered as the sounds of the bandits caught in the explosions screaming carry across the night air. "Good luck!"
Kalt makes certain to not waste any time after the explosions go off, as she goes charging down into the field with her tower shield raised up high. The Vixen trying to keep at the lead of the group, while still managing to make certain they can cross the mile in a timely manner to reach the encampment.
Cassidy looks at Angus for a moment, then at Jera. "I will do what I can, but not to the point that it limits me." She closes her eyes in thought for a moment, lending a portion of her focus to assisting Jera with his magic before setting off after Kalt, being sure to remain behind.
Selena has her elemental to the air and disgorge a smoke bomb into their path to obscure the area between them and the encampment as she follows, silently berating herself for forgetting something or another before releasing a wave of refreshing water magic over the group to alleviate the charge a little.
The explosions rock the world and the screams are heard, and they're off! The crab begins to move, his load ready he will fire upon the first massing of troops he can find. "Let's get to it, we can't leave them to fend for themselves." he says as he moves.
Angus starts moving as soon as the bombs go off, trying hard not to favor his injured leg as he keeps his Musket at Waist height. "Selena, mind sending your Elemental first?" He shouts, waiting for Garma's cannon to go off as they charge.
Jera laughs and then slings his two quivers of arrows in front of him, angling them towards the bandit encampment. "Two can play at this game, Garma." He laughs, his free hand coaxing the tailwind to blow faster, and with more vigor, his fingers priming a little air magic inscribed at the bottom of his quivers, and then he unloads his makeshift arbalests, cackling a little.
The run is thankfully quiet for a good quarter of the way, save the screaming and yelling at the camp, before their own archers man what remains of the gate. Firing three crossbows at the charging group, which thankfully are deflected by the leading Kalt's shield as they work on approaching. The group soon able to see a large gathering of poorly armed and amored reactionary troops charging at the gates from the Bandit's side as well, though as a hail of arrows descend upon them, the three on marksmen that had fired at the group fall down dead, and another from the group before they angle shields up to help catch the arrows at they try to charge at the group.
Kalt and the group is getting close to them all, as she raises her spear to the ready and slows her dash to slight jog so as to let Garma fire his rounds off without running into the group, while still letting them keep momentum to break through after he fires.
Garma laughs loudly as the enemy appear to be in position, his prepped work done he lets the barrage loose upon the seeminigly hapless bandits. The explosives are powerful, and widespread, causing quite a bit of knockdown just from the impact, which seems to cloud the battlefield causing a bit of blindness for their enemies. Hopefully they didn't intend to fight back.
Selena keeps moving forwards with the rest of the group, looking forward with some measure of regret as she sends her elemental further ahead before it flings a hail of fiery projectiles through the air at the gathered beings, evidently intending to scatter them rather than anything else - though the spell's offensive potential can't be denied either. "If that isn't enough to demoralize them then I'll be surprised." She notes, a violent burst of fire erupting from the ground beneath some of the bandits as the woman casts an offensive spell of her own design - the ground in the area left scorched and red around the origin. "I don't want to kill anyone, but if they can be routed I'd rather do that."
Cassidy gives each of her weapons a little flourish as the group draws near. She's a little eager to at least see action, of the twitch of her black tail is any indication. But until they get within the walls, she is limited in what she is able to do, so she bides her time, keeping close to Kalt and watching her flank.
Angus flicks his ears as the arrows and cannon fire rain down, and he starts putting on the speed, adjusting the grip on his Musket to raise his bayonet in preperation to stick it into the nearest bandit that tries to face him head on, not wanting to risk firing in case of friendly targets.
Jera watches the devastation and then just kneels down on the floor, needing to catch his breath. He can't keep the buffeting tail wind up for much longer, though he's trying.
The cannon shots are extremely effective as they clash into the charging bandits, killing two thirds of them, before Selena's magic erupts around them and they're left falling to the ground in pain and agony before the fire arrows rain down upon them, leaving a small handfull to make a mad dash back to the encampment, jumping behind the remains of the walls before running deep into the camp.
Kalt's own speed ubcreasing once more as she keeps the shield help up high and finally crashes into the encampment. The bark of a musket heralding a shot that collides with her shield, before another crossbow bolt collides with her shoulder pauldron to only fall to the side.
As the group enters the encampment though, they are quickly faced with the second wave of Bandits, wearing thick armor and weilding shields stolen from the military a group of eight charge at the Freeswords, while four musket men stay and ready their weapons to fire while kneeling behind a series of empty barrels about thirty feet from the group. A archer off to the right, and upon the roof of a small stable levels his own bow and arrow however, before firing an arrow down at the group. The black tip giving a cut to Selena's arm as it passess by.
Selena curses quietly as the arrow slices her arm, the wolfess holding her spar hand over the cut and redirecting her elemental to the before unnoticed archer. "... Probably deserved that." She quips, looking back on ahead. "It might be worth taking a shot at the arche just in case." She notes to the fox - after all, her elemental can only do so much while waiting for another smoke bomb to become available. "Jera, are you alright?" She calls to the fox as he kneels down.
Cassidy decides that the group would provide a perfect diversion for drawing attention, and so Cassidy breaks away with few words. "I will get them." And with that, she steps off into the darkness, but not for long. Her eyes lock onto the archer at the stable. She planned on going in anyway, she could take him out as she went through. With an air math assisted leap, she tries to launch herself straight through the air, hoping no one would notice her dark-clad form with their attention on the group as it was. Dagger at the ready, as she comes down through the air she tries to land right atop that archer, plunging her dagger into them with the momentum of her fall.
Garma is rather focused on the job, but has to compliment the fine performance the team cooked up on that mob. "That was great! Keep it up!" he says, though inside he falters slightly before he hears smoke bomb and blinks, before he hurries out something and loads it up, firing a rather potent one upon the enemy group. "Go get em!"
Angus nods to Selena as he slows himself down, before dropping to one knee and bringing his musket to his shoulder, but when he hears Cassidy call it he flicks his ears and swings his rifle over to the charging bandits, eyeing their armor as he actually planned ahead of time. He lines up the sights and takes a shot at the lead, right for their gut.
Jera gives Selena a wave. He gets to watch the scenario unfold in front of him and slides out his last weapon in his arsenal, a little throwing knife. He takes aim at the archer and throws it.
Cassidy manages to slip away just before the charging Bandit's arrive, her sneaking into the shadows unnoticed by all but the archer whom calls out! Though it doesn't matter much for him as he's soon left dead upon the ground as the combined efforts of the Fire Elemental, Jera's knife, and Cassidy's stabbing jump finds him thoroughly killed.
Garma's smoke bomb is beyond needed as the musketeers finds themselves coughing and blinded, leaving them unable to shoot. Angus' shot taking out one of the armored bandits as it hits him in the chest, leaving the remaining seven still on the charge for the group with their swords held at the ready.
Kalt's quick to leap into the fray of them first to help prevent all seven landing on the group, her shield intercepting one blow as another misses her arm by an inch, and yet another is left to bounce off a reinforced thigh plate and chain skirt. The fourth bandit however manages to score a hit as his blade cuts into her the back of her left shoulder, leaving a slight fleshwound behind. The Vixen quick to turn on a heel and drive her spear through his chest before abandoning the weapon to draw her longsword, letting the creator fire light up along the blade.
The remaining bandits descend upon Selena, Garma, and Angus, swinging their swords down in an attempt to try and take care of the back supports for the assault!
Selena manages to parry one of the assailant's blades with a bat of an arm and an evidently strong bit of earth magic, a thin skin of stone cracking under the force and falling away as the wolfess quickly spreads out heavy mud arround the group in an attempt to harry future attacks, her elemental flitting back to the group and igniting the being that had attacked her. "I want to know why you think you have no alternative to this." The wolfess pleads the being in front of her, zounding a little faint - though it's not too easy to tell if it's from exertion or something else, beings that have worked with her in past should know.
Cassidy pulls her dagger free from the bandit on the stable roof, the flame flickering out once it's no longer in contact with an enemy. She flips her dagger around in her hand, taking it in an ice-pick grip, she hops over into the encampment itself, trusting that her companions would be fine. For now, she had those hostages to find! Casting her eyes around, she sets off, keeping to the shadows in case any bandits had stayed behind.
As the fiends come for his precious cannon he deflects a blow with his armor, or perhaps his other armor, or perhaps his shell, he's not sure, the important thing is there assailants far too close to blow up, time for the next best thing. He readies up a fighting stance and throws a good old one two punch right at their face.
Angus doesn't even bother getting up, instead he just rolls as the blade comes his way. Free of the scything blade he then stands up and lunges forward with his bayonet at the attacker as he looks out of the corner of his eye to make sure Kalt is okay!
The exhausted kit fox sneaks along the periphery of the battle, looting his precious arrows from the ground and dead bodies in case he had to defend himself. Helping himself to the occasional other thing.
The musketeers are quick to frown when they look upon the scene as the smoke begins to clear, turning on their heels then as they dash between the tents and make shift buildings in retreat instead of waiting to get killed! The only remaining bandits in this section being the ones currently assailing the group, though they are falling rather quickly.
The Bandit attacking Selena is left to scream in pain as the fire cooks him rather painfully, before he falls down into the new muck she had formed. Garma's assault against his own bandit manages to deliver a satisfying snapping sound when he scores a heavy handed punch into the man's face, the bandit falling limp as blood trails heavily from his nose. Angus sadly is outfoxed by his own bandit, whom merely steps around his thrust and readies another slice down at the fox!
Kalt's quick to bring her own shield back around as she's ahead of the group, blocking another blow as two more ring off her reinforced armor before the flames upon her sword mix with darkness as she plunges the blade into a man's stomach. The wound on her back knitting up some from the transfer of his own life essence into the Vixen, leaving only two more around her.
Cassidy is not as stealthy as she hopes sadly, but she does find the 'hostages' strung up on poles... Four german shepherds and a female deer folk all left to bake in the sun, void of life as it seems something big took pleasure in crushing their chests. She doesn't get long to look though, as two lightly armored bandits charge at her from both of her sides!
Selena doesn't seem to stand up well to the effects of whatever was causing her to feel strange, the wolfess soon falling into the mud herself passed out from a toxin that seemed to have been on the arrow. She isn't down long however, before a large hawk male in a privates uniform swoops in to grab her. "Keep going I got her!" He calls out before using air magic to fly back out!
Cassidy looks upon the deceased hostages, clicking her tongue at the sight. She regards the approaching bandits with a soft scowl behind her porcelain mask, letting them draw closer before she tugs her blue capelet off and into the air with a twirl. She's gone in an instant, but back just as fast, spinning around behind the first bandit, coming up to try to plunge her sword clean through his chest. She doesn't stop there, though, with the second bandit at hand. Nor is he forgotten, as she continues to spin around in one clean motion to try to lash the other across the throat with her dagger.
Garma looks around him at the remining enemy and, grasping a tiny hammer hanging from his side prepares to take a swing at the one having a try for Anguses meaty flesh. He swings out, intending to smack their temple. Maybe he could save Kalt after this, or Angus could shoot one of them.
Angus frowns a little as his strike was missed, and as soon as he realized the blade was coming down for his head he drops his musket and hops back out of the way of their blade. In one quick motion he draws a pistol on his left hand and aims directly at the fool who had left themself open, before he notices Garma going in for the strike and moves to take a bead on one of the bandits after Kalt, holding the thing in a two handed grip as he fires.
Jera notices Selena's collapse and then he finds the black tipped arrow buried in the ground. "Arrow was poisoned..." He unstoppers a few dulling potions of various types and tries them on the arrow to see the color change and then brings what he feels is the right one back to Selena, pouring drips onto her arrow wound.
Cassidy's actions are met with superb success as the two beings go falling to the ground bleeding to death, leaving her with a mostly desserted portion, as it seems the remaining bandits had made a break for it to the -far- back of the camp... Most likely holding up in the preperation to either surrender, or be killed.
Back with Selena, the hawk shakes his head to Jera and uncorks a small bottle before pouring it into her mouth. "It's called sleeping maiden poison, it's popular here to incapacitate the individuals... The bandits tend to use it on females." Soon enough, Selena would find herself stirring to an awakened state as the groggy effects begin to pass and the hawk jumps back to his perch to view the battle.
In the main portion however, the bandit's are falling still, as Garma's hammer drops yet another bandit leaving him and angus safe from attack, as Angus himself makes another shot that takes down a bandit as well. Kalt's swing misses wide however, as the bandit ducks down and strikes at her shin... His blade deflecting off harmlessly only encouraging him to turn and flee before he'd be killed next!
A single moment of silence is the groups reward, before a loud bellowing cry can be heard in one of the larger tents marked with a tarnished and pale crown hanging outside of it... Most likely the bandit leader's hut, and the treasury. Though the amount of time they get to spectate upon it is short, as soon a large eleven foot tall bull comes charging out of it! The giant man is covered from head to toe in thick heavy plate mail that afforded him superb protection, and in his hands a giant burning two handed warhammer was held high, soon arcing through the air at Kalt whom moves to raise her shield. The Vixen however was a tad too slow in her defense, as the hammer connects with her chest plate and sends her flying back to the group! Thankfully not caving the reinforced plate in, but certainly hurting like a son of a bitch, and leaving the great tall bull to bellow another war cry from beneath his helmet.
Selena rubs her forehead as she comes to, the wolfess taking a moment to recollect herself and re-summoning her fire elemental. "... Ugh." She mutters, rising to her feet. "Are you all allright?" She asks, turning back to the fight, muttering something about the darn bandits.
Cassidy recollects her cloak, calmly fastening it back around her body as she tugs the hood up. Collecting her swords and giving another look towards the deceased captive, she looks around to find the ram. She doesn't look for long though, as the raging bull tears through towards the group. That wasn't good, certainly, but with it focused on the group she took a running jaunt towards it before kicking into the air again like she had before, seeking to land on his back to try to attack between the bottom of the helmet and the armour. If nothing else, her flanking assault might draw attention for her companions to deal with him!
Garma feels satisfied as he sees the assailant go down, and watches Angus take a shot to save the rash one in armor, only to see them fly backwards with grace as a big guy comes storming out with a fancy hammer. The grab jumps into action, time to pull out all the stops, as he loads up a paticularly nasty round, and takes aim at the fool. This one will leave a nice partinig gift after the impact.
Angus blinks as Kalt comes flying their way, almost dropping to a knee to make sure she is okay before he realizes that the bull is still charging. With practices ease he holsters his spent pistol, drawing his short sword in his left as he pulls the loaded pistol in his right, moving off away from Kalt to try and draw the bulls attention away from her as he starts shouting curses at him to get his attention
Jera follows after Selena with his salvaged arrows and a knife in hand.
Cassidy misses with her jump sadly, the Giant bull a step too far infront of her as her raises both of his wrists up to cover his face when Garma fires at him. The round is rather effective, ripping at some of the heavy plates around his arms and shoulders, causing blood to drip liberally though it doesn't seem to stop him as he continues his charge. Cassidy is unfortunatly caught with a bit of the flames, and a small piece of shrapnel that cuts her side slightly, while the flames spread to the more cloth like portions of her outfit... Stop dropping and rolling may be a good idea it seems.
Kalt's soon to get onto her feet, giving a slight cough as she pulls her spear from the body of the dead bandit she first killed and charges to meet the Bull. Her spear finds it's way to pierce between his thigh armor causing the large bull to howl in pain, before swinging his hammer down once more to catch Kalt in the left shoulder and send her into the remains of the wall with a loud clatter. Not stopping as the vixen was knocked out the fight, he charges for his main threat the moment, swinging the hammer at Garma!
Selena watches Kalt run at the bull, flinching at both the woman's lunge and the slam that followed. Quickly sending her elemental in, the small creature releases a smoke bomb as Selena concentrates on forming a less stable one and forming a mire under the behemoth as she regains her control over her magic. "Try to keep a distance." She calls to the others - though that should probably be obvious at that point. "I'll try to keep them occupied, someone make sure Kalt's stable! We can't afford to be rash."
Cassidy finds her jump to have failed her this time! She can't lament it for long, quickly becoming floored by the impact of the blast. The mostly-silent vixen gives a soft yelp as she feels the shrapnel. Despite some of her clothing having caught fire, she doesn't figure it's THAT big of a threat yet, and so she leaps at the bull from behind again, trying to drive her dagger into his now-exposed shoulder, hoping to put an end to that hammer-swinging.
Garma dodges a powerful blow and takes a brief step backward before pivoting into a spinning kick, his rush shouldn't be wasted and he can't shoot him from this close. Hopefully his group can cover him.
Angus sees Kalt go down under another attack and his vision goes red, droping his weapons as his form shifts, fur being replacd by scales as the Dragon roars at the Bull and goes charges directly at him, uncaring that the others are already moving in for the attack as he goes straight for his target.
Jera plays combat medic. The exhausted kit fox pulls out a dulling potion and immediately tends to Kalt the best he can, setting up plummeting winds to try to deflect any projectiles while he works on dragging Kalt out of the fight and dressing her wound. "Are you up?" He asks, ready to fly her away if he has to.
The Bull hollars as Cassidy latches onto his shoulder, and soon is blinded by a cloud of smoke! His body shifting as he reaches back to grab her in his hand and rip her from his shoulder, before throwing her down into the ground next to Jera with a bit of effort. Thankfully though, she was successful as his warhammer falls to the side, before Garma's kick causes him to stumble slightly, as Selena's fire elemantal begins to burn at him... Though he doesn't have much more focus though, as he's tackled then by a Dragon, forcing him down to the ground with a dull thud. The heavy breathing coming from him suggest his closeness to death, but he's still fighting as he moves to punch the Dragon hard in the side.
Jera doesn't get any response from Kalt, as she's completely out of it. The left shoulder and arm portion of her armor having been crushed by the Bull's warhammer, and the attempts to bandage the wound signify the need for a more proper healing... But judging from the hark flying down to Jera with a medical bag in his hands, she'll be safe to live.
Cassidy snarls a little as she gets tossed to the ground. At least it put out what remained of the flames! Gripping her blades, she staggers back to her feet and looks towards Angus and the bull from behind her mask. Seemed it was being dealt with, and she had her other obligations to fulfill. Fairly confident that everyone else would be fine here, and that there's be little to stop her within, the stubborn fennec sets off into the encampmant once again to search for that ram.
Selena curses loudly as Angus charges the bull as well, though taking dragon form beforehand seems to alleviate her concern a little. "Angus, don't be rash! There could still be more and now you're an easy target!" She calls to the dragon-fox, making a few backsteps to his gear and shaking her head as the defensive earth magic she'd had to throw up just in case becomes relevant - and breathing a sigh of relief as cass gets out of the way, causing the mud to bubble violently and harden as some unseen fire magic begins to take effect under the pinned bull.
The kick landing true and his foe on the ground, Garma shuffles to grab his lost weapon, giving it a heft before he moves to arc it down upon his head. He was too dangerous to leave alive if this was his mentality. "Sorry pal, you're through."
Angus grunts a little from the hit that doesn't faze him as he brings both fists up in a hammer blow of sorts, before Garma ends the bastard with a swing of the confiscated hammer, leaving the dragon raging and glareing down at the corpse Before he slams his fist into the chestplate a few times.
Jera takes the medicine offered and then does the best he can. A tourniquet to stop the bleeding, and then taking bee stingers from the medkit and stinging the exposed muscles to inflame them and to keep them from collapsing into a permanent injury. A careful brace is set up, but that's really all he can do right now.
