A flash of movement draws Aviana's attention away from her allies. A torrent of arrows being unleashed upon the possessed group of drow, which waste little time before they are descending viciously upon their kin... or rather the sole drider among them. The drider, hissing once more defiantly only manages to snare one in her webbing, halting their advance. Aviana narrows her eyes as she peers out at the downed and struggling drow. A soft, sweet scent seeming to waft from the strands of webbing that encase and restrain her. Aviana takes a brief moment to compare it to the caramel that had been baked onto her own body for a moment, though it was nowhere near as enticing. The thought of consuming the downed woman did flash through her mind, but of course in doing so she'd give away their entire groups position.<br/><br/>A part of her considers simply letting things play out, to slip past the two groups undetected, and to simply continue along their journey. If the drow where as likely to be hostile and to prohibit them from passing as Phylia believed, this was perhaps the safest and most logical option. But of course Aviana was at the same time excited to see something other than barbarian's and monsters, was eager to converse and interact with society once more. Perhaps if she were to aid them... the drow would be friendly..or at the very least they'd let them pass? Of course it was just as likely they'd turn on her, or perhaps even capture her once the tussel was over.. either way, siding with with the drow, seemed a far safer bet than aiding the demon possessed warriors.<br/><br/>Watching the remaining possessed drow, close in on the drider, attacking in unison, Aviana decides that she has to act quickly. If she idles or wastes time in discussion the battle could be decided well before she even enters. Looking for a safe spot to approach, one in which she would not commit her friends to the conflict if they wished to stay out of it the dragon girl speaks "It looks like things are heating up down there... I'm going to check it out." she simply states, glancing back at Miku with a playful little wink as she readies and infuses her weapon with power "I'll be right back"  she murmurs before her entire body suddenly flickers out of existence. Only to re-appear a split second later on the far side of the room, standing directly behind the group of drow snipers.<br/><br/>While hasty to act, Aviana wasn't so reckless as to charge headlong into a battle she could well have no business in. The defense of her friends and loved one's was one thing, in particularly Miku, which was motivation enough to risk life and limb, but not idle curiosity and the hopes of gaining possible allies. As such Aviana appears on the outskirts of the conflict, positioned to the side and a little behind the very same archer she'd allowed her eyes to linger on mere moments before. From her vantage point the dragon girl allows a second to observe the backside of the dark elven archer, to admire her form and figure much closer, before casting her gaze back on the drider and possessed. Seeing the drider stricken in a state of paralysis Aviana cannot help but wonder what sort of magic was taking place when the female drow's blade struck the body of the drider. The white light intrigues her, and the manner in which it seems to immobilize it's victim was most unsettling.<br/><br/>Having silently observed for long enough, Aviana would make her presence known. "A drow trying to devour a drider.... now that doesn't seem the way things should go.... hows about you let the drider go, and come explain to me just what's going on here?...or will i have to get involved?" the draggoness declares threateningly towards the female drow seemingly on the verge of consuming the drider, and yet speaking loudly enough for all to hear. Being positioned on the opposite side of the room from whence she came she would simultaneously draw attention away from her allies. With blade in hand the dragon girl looks on curiously, eager to see how everyone would react. She was taking a risk she realized, being no more than an arms length away from one of the bow wielding drow, while drawing the attention of the possessed warriors, yet she was confident in her ability to teleport safely away should things go poorly. While a part of her had wanted to leap in to attack the lead female drow, or even confront the cloaked figure... she knew too little about the situation to comfortably commit herself so hastily to the confrontation. The robed figure in particular was a wild card... was it merely another possessed drow? A demon in the flesh... or perhaps someone completely innocent who could have wound up being skewered on the dragoness' blade where she to have acted a bit more recklessly? The drow archers were another wild card.. where they going to act aggressively towards her? Or would they view her as a potential, if only temporary ally?<br/><br/>Aviana<br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Using a swift action + an arcane point to add +2 and keen to her blade,  as well as using dimension door to appear behind sniper 1<br/><br/>120 hp<br/><br/>AC: 30<br/>CMD: 26<br/><br/>Arcane Pool: 9/10<br/>Raven's Pool: 3<br/><br/><br/>Prepared Spells:<br/><br/>lvl: 0<br/>Arcane Mark<br/>Detect Magic<br/>Prestidigitation<br/>Read Magic<br/>Spark<br/><br/>lvl: 1<br/><br/>Vanish<br/>True Strike<br/>Obscuring mist<br/>Shield (used)<br/>Shield<br/>Shield<br/>Shocking Grasp<br/><br/>lvl: 2<br/>Intensified Shocking Grasp x3<br/>False Life (used)<br/>Bear's Endurance (used)<br/><br/>lvl: 3<br/>Intensified Shocking Grasp<br/>Force Hook Charge<br/>Fireball<br/>Vampiric Touch<br/><br/>lvl: 4<br/>Dimension door (used)<br/>Dimension door</div></div></div>
