*Huh. A Fog Cloud.*

*Akaise used her tentacles to raise herself up and out of the Fog Cloud's height. After seeing that he was no longer on the pillar, she looked around for just a moment before spotting the leader once again. Out of reflex, she fired another Plasma Shot at him before attempting to pursue. If she was able to reach the leader, she would attempt to ram him with two of her tentacles to stop him from reaching Hitoshi.*

*Even under her trance, she felt a trace of worry for the Kitsune, who appeared to be unaware of the enemy moving towards her. Any harm to herself was nothing if it meant her teammate was unharmed. She could not allow someone to die today.*

"Behind your pillar! Watch out, Hitoshi!"
Donna
*As Akaise moves, so does the leader. He reaches the pillar Hitoshi is next to as Akaise rises out. Traveling on foot would be much faster than travling up using tentacles, as they were limited by their speed. He's able to quickly get behind the pillar and try and stab at Hitoshi using his upper left morph arm. Hitosi herself would be aware of an incoming attack, due to Akaise's warning.*

*Hitoshi's bow was already nocked and she was holding it at the ready, but as she ducks to the ground and sidesteps the blow to the west, she finds herself unable to get ready for another shot. So, she does something very, very... Tactical.

She runs. Specifically, she runs into the fog cloud Akaise is in, attempting to find her luminescent tentacles and aiming to get behind the young wizard, and hopefully obscure herself in the fog. The man might have thermal vision... In which case, Hitoshi might have an issue, as she'll be at a severe sensory disadvantage. However, even then, she's hiding behind the toughest person in her group. A cowardly move? Yes. But then again, who expected an assassin to fight fairly?*
Gina
*Unable to catch up to the leader and seeing Hitoshi run towards her, Akaise instead decides to try something else.*

*Fog Cloud. Her father told her about such a spell... That was a long time ago. Still, she remembered how it worked. The fog originated from a small granite stone. By looking at the shape of the foggy cloud, she would be able to pinpoint its location. She turned to the northeast, looking at Hitoshi.*

"The source of the fog comes from a small rock roughly one foot behind me... I need you to find and destroy it. I'll make sure he can't reach you."

*Soon after, she gazed past Hitoshi and began to cast Arcane Armor on herself. A shield made of sunlight-colored runes formed in front of her before expanding around the rest of her body, serving as protection. Additionally, she raised the heater shield on her arm so that it would protect her head and torso while positioning her tentacles so that their round shields would be facing the leader. If they emerged from behind the pillar, she would fire a Plasma Shot at them.*

"Now then... Bring it on!"

```Akaise casts Arcane Armor. -30 mana. 40.5/100 mana remaining.
Akaise casts Plasma Shot. -5 mana. 35.5/100 mana remaining.
Akaise regains 3.5 mana. 39/100 mana remaining.```
Donna
*The leader would end up jumping up the side of the pillar, grabbing the edge of the obsidian surface and climbing on top. Grabbing something from his waist, a pair of concealed meteor hammers emerges. Both are held in his right hands, and the metal spheres are whipped towards Akaise, one at her left leg, the other at her face. During this, the leader would jump, but it didn't look like you two could tell where.*
