It isn't late at night, but it is late in the year, and the sun went about its business quickly ere it departed.
Jacqueline Somer walks beside a busy road, with her back to oncoming traffic, which she's read you aren't supposed to do but it makes the stupid LED headlights somewhat less unbearable.
She flinches every time a car passes her.
Cars are loud, and she has enhanced hearing.
She'd be much happier, she thinks, in a world without automobiles.
"It's not big enough to mesmerize yet, but watch out for that tail, it uses it like a whip."
The two Apex members draw their weapons and get ready to charge in.
Now, the question here is whether to fight, or fly, or
The craghowlers act first. The one in front is the size of a small wolf, the two behind it are about puppy sized. The wolf sized one lunges forward going for a bite on the Apex with a longsword which he casually parries with the sword, the two puppy sized ones spend their turn getting into melee.
Longsword man steps back and swings his sword in a two-handed grip. It connects with the wolf sized craghowler and slices deep into its side.
Dual sword man steps up and takes two swings.
The first connects and that's enough. He finishes the work that the first one started and slices it clean in half.
Seren steps forward and chants under her breath. She places a hand onto the longsword Apex and casts a spell.
Owl recognizes it as the defensive spell Seren casted earlier, the one that made attacks slightly less effective against the target.
Top of the round, it's the howlers turn once again. The puppy sized ones both go for two claws and a bite at the longsword man.
The man easily deflects the first but is much more used to fighting a single opponent, the two claws from the other gash open his side. He takes 8 points of damage.
His guts are spilling out of his body and the ground is covered in blood.
It was presented to her that these people were professionals.
Why are there people without powers fighting creatures with powers. (They snuck up on her. They've got powers.)
With... swords.
Owl would like to know why that's happening.
When the creatures first appeared and then everyone including Seren ran towards them Owl panicked but then thought 'no, they're fine, they have durability powers'.
