As River begins to glow brighter and raise into the air, the merrow look up towards her prepared to take on this new thing.  "What's this little thing?  Got a little bottle I can-" begins the lead merrow as he licks his lips thoughtfully, then has to bring an arm up over his eyes, growling out in annoyance.  He stumbles a bit, flailing arms out and shouting out in rage, "Take them!"  With the moment of blindness, neither he nor his sister are in a position to prevent much of anything, though the one fighting Ushie seems to have still retained a bit of her control.<br/><br/>From where Rose and Serena apparently dispatched their opponent, they can see where he has gone off to.  In the water, he has pulled down his loincloth, grabbing and thrusting into air.  The merrow's groans of pleasure rise up to the Delvers on the bridge, likely a sound that would entertain the other members of the merrow party if it weren't for the fact that they had made the mistake of looking at River's wings.  Apparently the fish has found his illusory prey and is having his way with it.  Rose comes behind Ushie and the net-wielding merrow as the two fight.<br/><br/>It's going to be quite hard to get past, the orc using her weapons quickly, the flick of the net possibly even faster.  Her attention on her opponent's hips and core, she wasn't blinded by the light.  Then a flick of the net comes forward, wrapping for a second around Ushie's arm.  For a moment, Ushie feels a pull, but swinging with that and a swivel of her body, she brings the handle against the fish-woman's temple.  With a thunk and a gasp, she collapses down onto the ground.<br/><br/>From here, the two remaining merrow begin to back up towards the river, hands held, "Fine, fine!  Pass overlanders!  Pah!"<br/><br/><strong>Through these woods lead to the lands of the Masked Elves and the Ancient Tree.  Your opposition here is defeated for now!  Delvers, what do you do?</strong>
