Nimbly moved the mage upon her broom as the reptilian lizard raked its claws at her, not noticing the arrows fired towards her that harmlessly buried themselves within the old bark of the trees surrounding her until the final bolt entered the flesh of her thigh as the Calamshite nudged the lizard's snout away with the flat of her blade as the beast made to bite her.<br/><br/>The sudden shock causes her concentration on her broom's position that it spun as her ruby-red blood began to stain her leggings, the enchanted stick uncontrollably moving away from her foe a short distance at first, around... five feet north-east, Toria would have guessed should she have been thinking of details at the time.<br/><em>'Missed the artery, no lasting damage, good enough,'</em>she thought to herself as she stabalised her jerky mount, snapping a good portion of the arrow's shaft off that it wouldn't hinder her  as she moved, but left enough that a physician had something to work with while removing it. Those archers were likely to become a pain if left unattended, and if allowed to retreat may bring back re-enforcements upon the group.<br/><br/>And yet... despite her companions showing great prowess in attacking their opponent, she could not abandon them while the lizard man still posed a threat. Swinging her broomstick round the former eagle to allow an easier time advancing to other foes once this one was defeated while still staying within range to unleash her arcane magics, Toria clutched the length tighter still with her thighs to keep herself steady as she began to cast a spell, wincing as the sharp head of the arrow dug further into her as she did so, "Acc- Ah!
