Just as Raina was about to answer Tara's question, a solider comes running from the west and begins screaming "Git...." but his words are cut short as a bolt of lightning slices through the air and strikes him in the back.  The solider falls to the ground, his body scorched and burned from the lightning bolt, his black clothing in tatters, even the straps of his breastplate appear to be scorched and blackened.<br/><br/>Raina finishes his warning even as she pulls the bow from her shoulder and takes an arrow from the quiver on her back. "Githyanki raiding party." her eyes narrow as she looks to the west.  She then quickly looks at Tara, "This by the way, is the Astral Plane.  I'll explain more later, but just fight as you would if you were back home.  As we can't make it to the academy before they overtake us."
