Erel nodded, and took up a defensive line with the others. She planned to ready her crossbow to shoot the first enemy to present themselves, then drop her crossbow, grab her blade, and prepare to meet them in combat. She considered using one of her spells, but an illusion would drop when she attacked, and the charm would likely result in him simply smashing one of her allies, instead. Not the worst thing in the world; it would be better than him smashing<em>her</em>, after all, but she'd rather there not be any smashing going on, if possible.<br/><br/>Instead, she'd save it for later utility, and focused on taking aim at where the enemy would appear.<br/><br/>(using the same readied roll as before, so 11 to hit. =/)
