*Charlotte would panic as the Oni grabbed her blade, releasing it and moving backwards as an attempt to dodge the kick. Charlotte would again, look over at Juna, seeing the attacking Canifor. She would move to tackle it down, and pin it under her, casting ``Empowered Strike (5 mana, 90 remaining)`` and punching right into the Canifor's throat.*

*She tightened her hold on her bow as the wolf bit onto it, growling in annoyance. Juna would pivot on her foot, turning in a light swinging motion as an attempt to throw the wolf off her bow by using her bestial strength. If it was successful, she could at least keep her bow and try her best to help Charlotte out. Jace would sprint over to his owner's side looking around as if awaiting orders on who to fight next. Juna would glance between Charlotte, the Oni, and finally the Canifor and his wolves. With narrowed eyes, a white sphere would form in front of Juna the moment Charlotte would finish her attack. It would grow in size an form a small dome around the group (which I guess would end up being Charlotte, Juna, Jace, and maybe the Oni depending on if the wolf and Canifor gets knocked away).*

```Project Ward: 10 Mana used; 5 Mana regenerated, 55 remaining```

*Had tossing the wolf away would have required her to lose her bow, she would have done the same except now without a ranged weapon.*

^*Menakpa noticed how the Giant whinced in pain. Seems their knight was able to break through and acted on that. Menakpa went through the giant's legs with her left hand sparking again and swung wildly at the obvious wound Charles had made one hand on her axe.

Her right hand came crashing down on that hole the axe moved away and then she placed her hand on the same spot sending another Lightning bolt against that thigh.

*Charles was getting closer and closer to the girl, and then he saw flames begin to cone out. None of his companions knew, but for them to think fire is bad, he would surely think fire was* ***Worse*** *. Quickly he 'unsheathed' the blade from it's fleshy, limp 'scabbard' and punted the now small imp with a strong kick in hopes of covering some or most of the flame coming his way. If the body made it all the way to her, perhaps he'd buy some time by interrupting the little shit. Left kick coming back down, all he heard was the* ***Wooove*** *Of the hammer flying his way, which would successfully collide with the vampiric knight's right foot by the slimmest of margins due to him still coming back from the kick. Swept of his feet, even if it was a small clip, the knight would wince in pain. He couldn't jump fast enough to clear the height needed, so his foot took most of that impact, a muffled yelp as he hit the floor with a thud and tried to roll with it. Fortunately, Air Macen were quick to get back up on their feet, and rolling with the fall would not only likely clear him from the cone of fire, but allow him back on one knee rather than face flat on the floor. For a moment he glanced in the Goluth's direction only to see the crackling yellow energy of the Mogash target his weakened spot. She had it covered. And so once he could get back up he'd press on to finish covering the 15 feet or so left between he and the girl.*

*Charlotte would let go of her blade, causing the Oni to loose his balance and slightly fall back, which gave her enough time to punch the Canifor in the throat. Ouch. He backs away, holding the hit area.*

*Juna's strength allowed her to toss the wolf over the side of the bridge, albeit with a little struggle. The barrier would now encompass only allies. Yay.*

*Unfortunately for our favorite Mogash who loves tanking hits, the goliath raises his injured leg, being balanced from all those times in the mountains, avoiding the axe blow to his leg, and brings it down on her arm, preventing it from moving. It wouldn't hurt that much, but the real problem was that the Goluth swings using the hammer yet again, this time holding it much closer to the head, so that it would hit the Mogash's face if it's not interrupted. What's worse was that her axe has in the hand that was attached to the arm the enemy stepped on.*

*The imp's tiny body would not shield Charles enough, and it would be engulfed by the flames, blocked from sight. The hammer would indeed trip him, but that wasn't the worse of his problems. The cone of flames torched the front of his body, the spell barely reaching him. It's better than being caught in the whole thing.*
```Menakpa-1 minor injury, from Goluth stomp

*Charlotte would let out a sigh of relief as the barrier encompassed them. She would look at Juna with a grateful look, though she wouldn't say anything. Thanks shouldn't be exchanged until the battle had ended, thats what the elf had always believed. Charlotte would turn back, checking if any of her lost equipment had made it in with her. If it had, she'd re equip it, if not then she'd prepare for hand to hand combat. That is, if her back up weapon didn't work too well.*

```-15 Mana since I didn't realize that two wolves took away 30 Mana instead of 15, 40 mana currently```

 *Juna let out a brief sigh of relief, seeing that she managed to buy them some time. She would look at the Oni, then turn her gaze towards the Canifor with narrowed eyes. Jace would growl at him from where he stood beside her, drawing Juna's attention. The Canifor had already tried tearing her apart by throwing an entire pack at her. Now, seeing that he had gotten hit in throat and assuming he wouldn't be able to howl for back up temporarily, she decided to return the favor. Juna howled up towards the moon, summoning two wolves to her side once again.*

```Howl of the Pack: -30 Mana, 10 Mana Remaining```

 *Jace would come to stand between the two wolves and at Juna's command, the three of them would charge towards the Canifor. The two wolves would go for the Canifor's legs, trying to bite down on them. Meanwhile Jace would attempt to launch himself directly into the Canifor, his jaws opened wide to try to bite down on his throat if the Jackal managed to knock him over with the two wolves' help. 

 Juna grabbed an arrow from her quiver, readying it in her bow while she waited for Charlotte to try recollect her lost equipment.*
Frances
*Menakpa screamed in pain as she became pinned underneath a large leg. It was her strong arm too that carried her axe. With her weak hand she pointlessly pushed and smacked at that rock covered leg squirming under heel.* "Let me go!"

*She kicked and pulled which only made it hurt more and in her stubborn state refused to release her weapon. She struggled like an animal and finally let her grip loose hoping it would provide her room to slip away. Menakpa expected the giant to toss a final death blow so she charged her hand waiting for the strike to deflect it and provide some time for herself.*
Nathan
*An inhuman hiss emanated behind steel as fire made contact with his unprotected sections: namely his neck. The clothe would provide some sort of barrier but otherwise did little to nothing to prevent the immense heat, which forced him to leap back behind the range of her cone after recovering from the trip, 15 feet away from her. He heard the slam behind him, and a scream for help, which would snap him out of his somewhat enraged state after taking such a burn. Yes.. He had to fall away from the girl. There was no way he could safely handle her on his own, so he retreated and rushed the Goluth. He had to take him down quickly.. Sword in hand and kite shield strapped to his back he ran at the Giant who seemingly had the upper hand. Sorry Menakpa.. But this vampire would not be saving her from the strike in any way she'd anticipate. Instead he leaped upward while it's attention lay on the Mogash, and thrust upward in an attempt to stab into his neck right where the throat lay. Dizzy or not, he didn't have to worry about accuracy with a target as big as a Mountain of a Man, and he wouldn't hae to worry about the hammer as it was already aiming for his companion. As much as he disliked using her as bait he had previously mentioned that Leo did not intend on dying for anyone here. If he managed to throw the Goluth off balance however, she could possibly save herself.*
Hollie
*The Oni swiftly takes care of the two wolves, doing two midair kicks which swiftly disposed of each, snapping their necks. The Canifor would angrily launch 2 swipes at the barrier, which promptly breaks.*

*Menakpa's strategy of trying to deflect the hammer actually works, as both the hammer and and spell have massive hitboxes. Charles's massive strength and powerful weapon allow him to bypass the Goliath's defensive, the stab piercing the goliath's neck, killing him.*

*Only problem, during his leap, the girl sends another barrage, this time infused with holy magic, predicting Charles's path. It would be difficult to pull out his sword in time to be able to dodge it.*

*Charlotte was up against a wall, with out her weapons, she didn't have a way to defend herself. Luckily, she did still had a weapon, one not many could expect. Charlotte would cast a spear shot into the floor ``Spear shot (15 mana used, 80 mana remaining)``. Picking it up and stabbing at the approaching canifor.*
William
*Juna took a couple steps back, pulling back the string of her bow. Jace would return to her side, shaking out his fur and coming to stand guard near her. Juna locked her aim on the Oni, frustrated at him for killing off her pack of wolves. She would lower her aim to just below the stomach region and would release an arrow, grabbing at another arrow from her quiver to ready another shot. She wasn't sure how much longer the two of them would be able to hold off for, but she would continue to try to buy them some time by backing up Charlotte with her range attack.*

^*Menakpa stood up her strong arm hurt and herself looking badly beaten up. Still she drew two spears tossed one Charles's way and aimed the second one for the girl. 

Her throwing arm lit up with more lightning using the spear like a lightning rod for more damage. She paced her eyes on her target and let it loose in another expert toss.

The spear in her grasp shot up forward at her backwards so that the metal handle would strike at her belly. Her goal was to knock the little demon's breath away or in a best case scenario knock her out entirely.*^

*Dropping down and rolling behind the Goluth, he stayed crouched as the holey volley struck all four times at the torso of her now dead mercenary. Charles figured she was the one paying them. She had to be.. Otherwise they'd not allow her to intervene or be comfortable in any case fighting us with their attention turned away from her. But enough thought. As the spear was tossed his direction, he nodded gratefully, and rushed forward once more. He was careful not to get within range of her Fireblast, as he now knew she had that up her sleeve, and kept his body close and low with the Kite shield extended from his shield hand to cover a majority of his body. If the spear Menakpa launched was successful in stalling her, he'd leap for the backside of the boy, risking injury to him if she tried to attack the vampire once more. This is what he needed. Assuming he could, she would know one wrong move and Charles could thrust the pointed end of this polearm right into her beloved.*
`"No more funny business Sylvia. Make a move and he dies. They make a move, and he dies."` *Hopefully this would catch the attention of one of the other's whether it be the Oni or Canifor. If they were brought to help, that'd mean a two on one advantage for Juna and Charlotte.*
Hollie
*Charlotte's innovation would end up with an impaled Canifor, the silver fur stained with scarlet. The arrow, however, would simply thud against the Oni's abdomen not creating any significant damage. He launches a ferocious punch towards the Charlotte, a right hook for her head. He would speak, and it seems like he's worked with the canifor before.*

"This is for you, Drasor!"

*The spear that was flying through the air would be intercepted by a white barrier created by Sylvia seemingly. She seems mad now, that most of her team is dead. Charles is also stopped, but the barrier shatters. She snarls, and responds.*

"I won't go back there! Never again! And I'm taking Mattaeus with me! That old man won't be able to do anything to me ever again!!"

*She moves Mattaeus away from the knight.*
Justin
Charlotte would dodge the blow by jumping onto her back. She'd then use the spears length to impale the Oni in the chest while on the floor. Aiming for the center of his chest where his heart is.
William
*Juna would see the Oni go for Charlotte, feeling helpless with her arrows not doing much to damage it. Already she had an arrow readied in her bow, so she would decide to lift the bow up and fire off one more shot at the Oni. After shooting the arrow, despite the outcome, she would slowly lower her bow and sling it across her torso securely as it once was. Jace would remain tense beside her, guarding the small area around his owner as he readied himself in case he had to fight something else.*
Robert
I charlotte Juna and the Oni still in the dome?
Frances
*Menakpa noticed Charles pausing in his assault. If he was strong enough to strike a single deathblow to such a creature then he surely coud handle a little girl. Especially with that dome down now and being in arm's reach of him.

Menakpa readied another spear scowling at the other unfamiliar beings. She spotted Juna and Charlette and rushed towards them.

Lightning emcompassed her arm again and infused her spear. In one swoop that spear went flying aimed for the red oni. Menakpa was all too familiar with their anatomy.

Still just in case her aim was off or the loss of strength she trusted in her years of hunting and put everything she had into this one blow.*
