Re: An Unforseen Storm (ranger and thetwo)
Ashley looked at the scene as revealed by her lantern. Without the sure knowledge that it was illusion it would have been... terrifying. And combined with a real attack to make it just a little bit worse. There were still questions it would be nice to have answered. What exactly was this thing, and why had it lead the four mages about while slaughtering others? Why here? It would be nice to know those answers, but before they could even try to figure them out they would have to beat the abomination before them.
The lessons Ashley had learned at the Academy were worthwhile ones, and several of them had been all but required to get them this far. But for beating this thing up there could be nothing better then natural strength. She raised a hand as she stepped through the ruined doorway, palm outstretched, and shoved it forward, feeling the backdraft as an enormous wind flew towards the thing behind the illusion.
As she let off her spell, Ashley also remembered the feeling of power that had infused the large gun she had picked up. The thought had occurred to her to use it on this beast... but there was only one shot. Probably magic would be sufficient to kill it, and even if it wasn't it would be best to wait until she was sure how fast the thing was, for a start.
