Longbows come up from the two elves near the serpentine group as dark eyes glitter in an inhuman way; the halfling can be heard to mutter, "Target the big ones first, we knew this could be coming." Sure enough, even as the northernmost elf raises her hands and begins chanting a magical spell, the other two loose a miniature barrage at Sira. One arrow hits her neck, burrowing a few feet behind her head with a surprisingly painful strike from those with as few visible muscles as the elven archers. Even though the other arrow bounces off the wall above Sira's head, it's enough to give the big snake a wakeup call. Meanwhile, as the echoes of the spell fade, the kitsune gives Eiyre a big wink (nobody having come after her) and continues singing. Words in an unknown language start to flow past her lips as she carries a haunting melody, distracting and somehow... invigorating all at once, though all present can feel that what they get from the song is but a shadow of what those who understand the words can feel. They're just on the edge of making sense, and there's a beautiful crystalline clarity to the song that maddeningly tugs at the back of everyone's mind...<br/><br/>[[Actions:<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;">Eiyre moves and readies an action.<br/>The kitsune <span style="font-style: italic">sings</span>.
