Slipping and falling would surely have notified the monster of prey, she'd rather not experience getting dragged under. She found herself faced with a difficult decision - The bigger challenge - The monster from the bog, had both Krampus and Elise. But, two were better than one, at the shore, Valderina seemed to attract attention from someone other than her original target. A trio of orcs just barely visible in the clearing between some trees, and what her sharp eyes could make out to be a net. Valderina seemed oblivious to the fact. As much as it pained her, the professional in her screamed to maintain focus on the actual monstrosity. There was some indecent desire to see what would happen if she just waited it out, with either of the two fights honestly. Unfortunately, they had other work to do, she'd hold on to the fantasies to when she'd inevitably take guard at night.<br/><br/>Knowing vocally alerting Valderina would alert the orcs of her presence, she carefully sheathed her sword again - wouldn't want it dropping in the bog after all, and pulled the crossbow off its hook on her belt. Careful, careful..<br/><br/><strong>"Tsk..."</strong><br/><br/>The first shot was a miss. What should've been right between the eyes of the orc carrying the net instead went into the woods somewhere, never to be seen again. A second shot went into a tree, she could pick that up later.<br/><br/><strong>"Finally..."</strong>Aeryn muttered silently, aiming a little lower, a little safer. It went by pretty close to Valderina, though that part was more opportunistic than anything, the real "alert" came in the form of a shriek of pain from the orc in the middle as the bolt lodged itself somewhere in its abdomen. Probably not lethal, but for what it was it worked wonders.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Rolls</div><div class="spoiler_body">Volley:<br/>At 2020-02-21 14:19:05, Aeryn (uid: 41538) rolls: 2d6a2 Result: 7 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=144516)<br/>Damage:<br/>At 2020-02-21 15:02:16, Aeryn (uid: 41538) rolls: 1d8 Result: 3 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=144519)<br/></div></div>
