Sirdan's ears flicked, as he tried to hear what was going on in the fog. No clue what is going on.

"Can't see em - I can fix it for myself, but you, Neia?" 

He closed his eyes briefly, activating his own thermal vision, allowing him to see sixty meters ahead in thermal - possibly through the fog.

"Get behind cover, hunters." He commanded

He scanned the area ahead of him, and took cover behind the cart, peeking his head out of it, with one arm he summoned a servant right next to him behind the cart. The servant would take cover - not having the capability to do much else this turn. 

He called the horse to move behind the cart and kneel down.

**"OI! YOU THERE! GET OUTTA THE WAY, DON'T WANT NO KILLING TODAY!"** The elf warned.

*The unfamiliar voices would lend Neia no information — she had no way of knowing what an Orc or Naga sounded like from voice alone.* 

*Trying to squint through the fog barely helped.* "I'm not going to let this damnable fog be the end of me..." *She said, but she had nothing that could help her deal with the fog, and firing blindly into the fog would accomplish nothing.*

"What's going on? I think I heard a spell being cast, but I'm not familiar."

*She has no choice but to stand there idly, remaining vigilant.*

*The two hunters would take cover at Sirdan's order, deciding it would be wise to listen to him. Sirdan's thermal sight would allow him to see the warm bodies shrouded in the fog.*

*There's two bodies ahead, one holding a bow, and one gripping a long-axe. Both are about 12 meters away, and one is large and coiled around. Further down the path is two extra bodies, almost twenty meters away. There's also a summon, but I am unsure if it is possible for Thermal to spot a body made from magic, if so near the furthest body, a meter away is a Summoned Footman.*

*The Orc grinned, and roared at Sirdan's shout. He charged out of the fog, becoming quite visible. The Naga's arrow is fired, but lands near the cart, as a horrible miss.*

"Your aim sucks you stupid snake!"

*The Orc growled, and the Naga Archer hissed, moving closer from the fog, which is starting to fade, quickly.*

```The Fog passes, revealing the field. ~~Because as cool as the fog was, I've had a few mistakes, and I can keep writing the quest easier w/o it!~~```

*Five of them. He was gonna stand back and let Neia do her works - but that's the initial plan. With Neia's very limited toolset, he got a feeling it'll end up with much more bloodshed than he wanted. 

He didn't care if any of them hanged, but he don't want any more blood on his hand after that incident.*

"Five of them! Neia! Three behind the fog!" 

Sirdan conjured a war dart with his right hand, hiding the spellcast behind the cart. Once he was ready, he popped out, pushing the conjured war dart toward the Orc Zerker's legs - hoping to hit him in his thighs or joint to stop him from moving. Right afterward he'd duck below for cover - especially if the Naga is aiming at him.

The servant simply grabbed Sirdan's dagger from his sheath, drawing it out - while still hiding behind the cart. His horse ran behind the rock to south for cover from arrows.

*As the fog cleared, she exclaimed,* "Damn! We're more outnumbered than I thought!" *She turns to face the Naga.* "I had planned to end this peacefully..." *She says, but then begins to prepare a spell.*

*She raises her right hand, forming a purple sigil beside her hand. Soon after it is formed, a translucent purple spear forms in the center, similar in appearance to the barrier. After a short moment, she motions her arm forward, and the spear flies towards the Naga, aiming for the upper area of the tail.*

*Moments after firing the spear, the magical power in her barrier runs dry, forcing her to exert more magical power to sustain the barrier.*
