As Sophie released Filiauria she ran to her mother and hugged her. Almedia stopped in surprise and turned the hug around, protecting her from Sophie, as the husband moved to join them.<br/><br/>The melee was quick and vicious, with swords flying, knights flying, a weaving of swords and arrows and eldritch magic that seemed unable to miss their targets.  Then the other sorceress entered and unceremoniously ended the entire fracas, a clap of thunder throwing the three bandits to join their fellows, showering the rest of the team in flying clothes and mannequins.<br/><br/>The aftermath saw all seven bandits unconscious on the floor, the shop staff all hugging and trying not to cry... and Maria sprawled out unconscious in a pile of dresses.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">So that was much... shorter than expected. 1st-level is rocket tag on both sides, man.
