Quite a lot was going on already, sling shots returning fire to low effect and skipping along the sand floor, while the Horse-rider raised the short-banner like a flag and waved it down to instruct the Archers to fire, reinforced with his shout. "Fire!" And as if a well-trained enemy force, all but one of the archers fire their volley up into the arena sky, aimed slightly higher than their targets. Numerous arrows clunk into the stone pillars, while others bury themselves into the sand. Many misses, but some did not - not everyone was lucky. Adriaan in particular takes one to the shoulder and while stumbling from cover from the blow, is struck a second time in the thigh and begins to bleed profusely. The Centaur notices and slowly begins to trot over, glancing to Brelia to see what she may or may not do. The party is hurting bad, but no doubt if they could close to melee quickly, their skill would overwhelm the numbers.<br/><br/>Then something surprising happens. The rider dramatically extends his hand and smiles, a pretty-boy to say the least. He suddenly clicks his fingers like he's ending some kind of life and Nilla feels a compulsion, which is difficult to shake off. "Feed yourself to the singing deer." He bellows at her.<br/><br/><img alt="Image" src="https://i.imgur.com/a497eWt.jpg"/><br/><br/><br/>(( OOC Combat Summary:<br/><br/>Kay begins singing with Partial cover (+1 reflex, +2 AC).
