SMASH!" It shattered a window in the farmhouse. Sarissa's scaled shoulders slumped.  She was going to end up fixing that.  She just knew it.<br/><br/>The others ducked down, and Sarissa found she was the only one standing for a moment before she heard someone hiss something at her about getting down. She then dropped down to one knee behind a large pumpkin, her heart thumping in her chest.  They were either about to face a pack of perturbed goblins or some angry farmers. Sarissa wasn't sure which would be worse.  It wouldn't be the first time she was chased across a field with a pitchfork, but she would rather not keep repeating that experience.<br/><br/>The group sent Risppt forward to see what was going on in the barn, and Sarissa decided she would get a little closer too.  If Risppt found himself in some trouble, she didn't want the little guy having to face it all alone.  Sarissa had no clue about his transformations and just saw two humans sending the little kobold into danger.  She would at least have his back.<br/><br/>Sarissa slunk forward. She could be pretty quiet when she needed to be.  Her sword was held lightly in her hand.  She had trained with it for so long it felt like a natural extension of her, though the practical application was still new to her.  There was a big difference between practicing her katas and actual combat.<br/><br/>"Well, if they are not coming out.  We are going to have to go it…right?" Sarissa said quietly from her spot closer to the barn. Goblin voices could be heard from where she was hiding closer to the barn than the others.  With her sword hand, she waved the others closer.  Whatever the goblins were doing inside the house was taking all of their attention. There didn't seem like too much danger in investigating more.<br/><br/>"I say someone opens the door and gets the goblins' attention.  The others can hide on either side of the door and ambush them when they come out." She suggests looking at Selphie.  It seemed the best way to flush them out and keep the element of surprise.  And Selphie was distracting. Sarissa wasn't sure she was really good for much else, but it might work to their advantage in this instance.<br/><br/>"So Alec and myself can each take a side of the door and Risppt, why don't you find a spot to hide where you can shot from.  Selphie…um you just…be you.  Sound good?  Okay, let's go." Sarissa didn't give Selphie a chance to say no.  Instead, she headed for one side of the door and flattened herself as much as possible against the barn wall.  She gave each of her companions a nod ending with Selphie, who also got a wink.<br/>
