That was almost a perfect plan executed, if Claudia said so herself. There were very few ways that it could have gone better, especially once Kristen rushed out to fight. Still, one of the men attempting to flee could go quite badly if he got away to warn the rest of the bandits out there. It was a bit of a waste but she really had no choice but to use her second 1st circle spell at that longer distance. With more words in Abyssal and a deft motion, a single dart of red light shot out to unerringly zig-zag it's way to blow through the fleeing bandit's body and drop him to the ground.<br/><br/><strong>"We need to ensure none of them flee to warn other bandits. I'm going to head down to back-up Kristen directly with my shorter-range magic."</strong><br/><br/>A quick nod to Lisa and she turned on her heel to descend from the tower. She rather hoped none of the men tried to flee again, and hopefully the sight of one of them being shot down after trying to make it to the horses would dissuade them from that course. Then again, apparently being lit on fire led to people panicking . . .
