Ellen bit back her own response to Rath's remark.  They could go over the relative merits of mercy vs pragmatism when they weren't in the middle of a deadly battle.  As it was, she had already gone over the basics of her reasoning back on the ship, and if he'd had any objections to leaving them alive, he probably should have voiced them then...  But thinking about it now wasn't productive.<br/><br/>So instead, she set her mind to countering this latest move.  They'd switched over to the defensive, and from the looks of things, their arrows weren't even doing anything to the half-celestial.  If they could keep this up, the Genasi would probably run out of arrows at some point...<br/><br/>...Keeping it up was the problem, though.  They'd set their opponents over to the defensive.  If they just waited it out, though, their opponents would undoubtedly regroup and take back the offensive, possibly even figure out that she and the half-celestial were just an obstacle that could be flown around...  And that just couldn't be allowed to happen.<br/><br/>"What about just charging in?"  Ellen questioned, moving to knock yet another enemy off his griffon.  "I think we've got them on the ropes at this point.  If we can just get them to break, we've won."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Screw it, I'm making Bull Rush checks for the next 10 rounds, since it's the only thing I'm likely to be doing anyway.<br/>1d20+12=21<br/>1d20+12=13<br/>1d20+12=31<br/>1d20+12=32<br/>1d20+12=16<br/>1d20+12=16<br/>1d20+12=17<br/>1d20+12=25<br/>1d20+12=24<br/>1d20+12=20 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3044199/)<br/><br/>Just pick whichever targets seem appropriate.</div></div>
