*Bryce silvers through the wilds. His snake appearance wouldn't be out of place, for a lamia he looked more beast then human. He's wearing his steal cuirass, his longsword is holstered on his back, he's on his way back to town. He sits down on a rock and leans back enjoying the heat on of the sun on his face*

Wandering throughout the forest, Hynes took inwards a sharp breath, feeling the crisp air fill her lungs once more after having just spent hours travelling from the city.
Off to the distant horizon emanated the outline of a tall ironclad figure. The person was a good 50 meters away when she broke off from an underpass, gathering herself onto the main road which was directed towards Bryce's position. She held the shape of a long spear drawn to her back, with several other indiscernible objects tied on. From his perspective with her gleaming black plated armor reflected the glow of the warm crispy sun above. Hynes had just made her way from Salvainia once more after she had come to blows with several bandits, half heartedly sparing them in the process. The encounter served to both raise her confidence but also demoralise her in the sense that it only reinforced her behavior that everyone is out for themselves. 

'Is it.. Right turn around that tree, left turn around this rock? How the hell am I supposed to know, the only thing ahead are trees, dirt and more trees.'

Hynes thought to herself, a hand up to the lip of her helmet as she ducked slightly to move under a low-hanging branch. The path from the road quite a ways away from where she was now always eluded her mind, especially when her nerves were already quite high just from walking around alone, not to mention the fact that she had just had an encounter.

As she ducked under a low-hanging branch, making a right turn to go towards a small cluster of rocks in a moderate-sized clearing, Hynes froze for a second, trying to determine whether she was even going the right way. Bringing a hand up to her spear, she gently pressed the gauntlets around the grip, not thinking anyone was around as she began to slightly squeeze it, as if she was just about to unsheath in any minute. To Hynes this precaution was all the bit necessary, and up to this point it had never let her down. It was better to be prepared to be jumped by a hundred rabbits then to be ambushed and killed off the wimp that nothing would happen.

*It wouldn't be hard for Hynes to notice bryce, As he got off the rock, he stopped for a second smelling the air. He didn't smell anything abnormal so he took a quick look around, spotting nothing. It didn't shake his feelings of uneasiness. He hasn't come across anyone else on this trail, it's too quiet for his liking. However there's no point searching, it's probably just him being paranoid. So he turns around and continued on his path. Now that he was on guard, it's would harder for hynes to sneak past him, however his weapon and armour could get hynes a pretty penny or two. Hynes had the Element of surprise on this brute*

Glancing up Hynes definitely had a clear vision of a very large Naga. This stuck out to Hynes as she had not seen them commonplace, usually their kind stuck to their native grounds. Even more uncommon was the fact that she had just randomly encountered one on a road far away from any nearby towns. She began to pace herself, bringing the shaft of her down as she let go of the grip. Instead she brought out her enchanted bow, placing it in front of her as she established the distance between them. She had guessed that they had been approximately 30 meters apart, herself behind the Naga, ducking behind cover next to a large tree. All this time she had been contemplating on whether or not she would attack this man. She had no inherent reason to however that never stopped her before. In her perspective she drew on the fact that no one else was around, and she was feeling light on the coin. Of course, she didn't require murder but who is going to miss one Naga. Replacing herself off from the tree she was positioned on the main road as she drew an iron fletched arrow from her new waist quiver. Placing it above her hand she drew the bow forwards as she prepared to draw the string. She was however not found of backstabbing killings, and at least wanted to give the courtesy of letting him fight for his life. From her helmet she cuffed her lips and whistled loudly

*Bryce heard the whistle as it cut thought the the silence, he didn't waste anytime drawing his sword and turning around, he scanned the area for a second spotting Hynes and the bow and arrow, aimed at him. Hynes could see him smiling, he banged his chest plate as a Signal to say 'shoot me I dare you'. His skin turned grey using his stone skin ability. Then he held his sword in a matter to defend himself. As well as scanning the area, looking for place to take cover, she had the advantage, since he had to close the distance. He eyed the trees off the path, he could use that to hide and get closer. He looked back at her waiting for her to attack preparing himself to be shot*

Hynes would notice the sudden change of skin colour, knowing that he must've have had to activate the stone skin spell. It was just like her previous encounter and honestly it possed her off more and more. Seeing him unsheathe his blade Hynes gleamed with a smile as she noted it out for being a sword. With the Naga challenging her bow it would only be right for her to answer his call. Henceforth drawing her bow she pulled it back all the way, raising it towards his head as she approximated the distance. In a swift motion she let loose the arrow and it headed right for his centre of mass.

*Bryce dives for the Shrubbery the arrow grazing his side breaking his stone skin. Once he was under the cover of the tree he catch his side, relieved he wasn't bleeding yet. He peeked out only for a second to checking her. Bryce can only advance after she fires or risk getting shot*
