She nods, trailing a bit behind all the others as they made their way to the servant, unslinging her rifle and getting it in a ready position.
From the woods, a group of half a dozen drones
◊, all armed and equipped with rather threatening looking armaments and a pair with two peculiar tubes slapped onto their sides in lieu of the pods flew to the group, hovering and giving silent clicks as they started following Liman's lead.
(the Ferrothorn doesn't respond)
(but right next to Ramona, one of the Things Getting Pelted By Rocks falls over)
(...it's one of those Dragon Tooth Warriors that Blondie used during that day)
(Greninja just picks up the efreet by the head and... tosses it towards Homura)
(is he doing that so that you have a clear shot to shoot the efreet to bits?)
(Clarice keeps silent now)
(seems this path to the Half-Hill sort of takes a different detour... to an overlook)
(or an overhang, i'm too groggy to terminology)
(from this high ground, people can see below them... an absolutely massive army
)
(thousands... no, tens of thousands of Dragon Tooth Warriors marching forward, with hundreds of larger, more imposing boss monsters filing the gaps in between)
(presiding over them all is Blondie the Archer, flying in the air, holding a magic circle in front of herself and casting a spell to keep that thick pink fog at bay)
Keep going forward! Whatever they're planning, we can overwhelm them with numbers! March!
(the troops all file into the fog... seems that Blondie can only weaken it, not dispel it entirely)

"... Oh, freaking..."
... right
you need the big guns
FIRST
... someone to take off the heat
chant ch-
wait
chant chant someone above the age of 10
In what is possibly the only out-of-room thing Trip will do for the next 40 years
is Savannah Derby, in her room, having a bit of a... Song Time
"Send my now passionate feelings- they melt reality, then just hover there suspended. There's no reason for me wanting to see you. I pour my feelings into you, lovin' you! LET'S"
And lets get away from that, FOG
and before Ferrothorn and Ramona is
well savannah, emerging from a portal
... she's cosplaying again
"AT LEAST IMAGINE ONLY BEAUTIFUL DREAMS! AS WE wait what the fuck?"
(Michael considers a moment, before answering Johnny)
...That's a rather simple strategy, yes.
But they might have a chain of command, just in case their leader actually fell. So we'll have to neutralise them before they reorganise themselves.
"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."Woods
Jasmine: (stops at the overlook at the skeleton army marching below) ... (turns back to the group, specifically Clarice) So that we are on the same page, Master, the plan is to bottle this army up and whittle down their numbers? If we can disrupt the leader, the fog can be used to hide our positions and disallow trajectory fire from them. Numbers are worthless if there is only hand-to-hand combat.
Cannae 101, IIRC
Fog
Homura: (trains the rifle at the tossed efreet, waiting for only a moment to see if there is any hint of remorse or regret from it before firing)
The damned queen and the relentless knight."I-I can help with that.", she said as the two drones with peculiar tubes deposits a portable launcher of some kind—almost larger than Liman—on the ground.
"T-Thermobaric-Thermite/Petrusite Compound. B-Blast radius of...several dozen meters. Effective lethal zone of...several dozens more. I-I only have a few left—but we should be able to dent their numbers. M-Maybe..."
As if to accentuate that, the drones starts doing weapons check—spinning their barrels, and cycling their pods.
And she nods towards Jasmine. "A-As well as—limiting their reinforcement routes. We-we can create firestorms to funnel them into chokepoints."

всегда верен...
(the Ferrothorn looks... unamused)
(or maybe it is just unable to emote)
(either way, Sav, there's an arrow heading right for ya!)
(seems that arrows are outside of Sneaky Pebbles' range)
(oh, yeah, there's a hint of regret on its face...)
(...regret that it couldn't have fun with you by setting you on fire...!)
(Jaz) ...Y'know? That's a good plan. From what I can tell, she's keeping that fog at bay, and she seems quite distractable, so...
(back to everyone else) Step one - make ourselves a fog o' war. Everyone up for ticking her off?
I don't know much- but this seems a tad on the magic side of things, which means I doubt they really have a functioning chain of command after the leader and source of power and what-not is gone. Not to mention lives.
It's like taking the battery out of a remote. Doesn't work after that.
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this postFog
Homura: (pops a cap with a single trigger pull. She may not be the callous of old, but neither is her tolerance infinite.)
Overlook
Jasmine: (nods at Clarice, turns to Johnny and Michael) We will have to balance our approach then between attacking her and containing this army. Too much on her, the army may break out if it realizes what is going on. Too much on them, and she will be free to command them and remove our cover.
The damned queen and the relentless knight.She nods to Clarice, Jasmine and everyone else, flicking her safety off as a drone goes behind her.
Liman looks at the drones behind her. "[18, with me. 19, 20, and 23— you are to direct fire into the created chokepoints we have. 25, 27—use the TOS to create firestorms to funnel them by creating a tunnel for them to pass through and limit their number. Protocol is 2A-4B-65A. Fire mission is not danger close. Say again, not danger close. Do not fire near friendlies, and only start the process on my command and signal. Signal is 'begin fire mission, begin fire mission'."
The drone gives silent beeps and clicks of affirmation.
всегда верен(over there in the thick of the fog is your assailant, Sav)
(a... BLACK DRAGON TOOTH WARRIOR)
(with a FANCY BOW)
(certainly, it can't be any stronger than a normal one just because of its coloring— oh, it just took a Stealth Rock to the back of the head and didn't even flinch)
(BOOM)
(and down goes the efreet, leaving nothing behind but a Magic Lamp which falls to the ground)
(Greninja bows to Homura, before beckoning her to follow)
C'mon, c'mon... Good...
(the fog is getting pushed back slowly but steadily, as she pushes her army into it by the hundreds)
...Alright. On my mark—
(forms a Gandr finger gun, aiming it at the preoccupied Blondie)
Go!
"... -smirks- Right. This'll make things easier."
She sprints right at it, running quite a bit faster than those tiny legs should carry her (which, tbh makes it look sort of hilarious), conjuring
... a... sword.
and swinging right at its head.
Overlook
Jasmine: (focuses for a moment and summons a bow) I will watch over as best I can from here. (Prepares to draw)
Fog
Homura: (sees if the Magic Lamp seems safe to pick up and store in her Time Shield first before following Greninja) Where is your Ma- (remembers the correct term) Trainer?
The damned queen and the relentless knight."Prepare fire mission...", she said as she raises a hand, going prone and aiming her rifle at the blondie while her drones behind her starts taking aim; one at the blondie as well, three at the armies, and two at a position a bit far behind the fog—intending to create a funnel into the fog with a pair of firestorms.
всегда верен(CLANG)
(well, it just parried the sword with its ornate-looking bow)
(and now it's pulling out an arrow and... trying to shank you with it like it's a knife?)
(it's safe, Homu, don't worry)
(Greninja closes his eyes, seeming to try and locate his Trainer by some meditative BS... only to then just shrug)
(is this frog serious right now or)
Gandr!!
(Clarice fires a Gandr Shot right at Blondie... and it just fizzles out into nothing as soon as it makes contact)
(Blondie turns down to the group, lowering her hand to her side)
Ohh? Is this all the people you could muster against me, Master of Coldya or whatever you call it?
(she flips her hair, Homura-style, as she summons a golden, loom-like bow into her left hand)
(however, because she lowered her arm and abandoned this anti-fog spell due to this distraction...)
...Hm! As if mere mortals could oppose a daughter of Hecaohgoddammitareyouseriousrightnow.
(the fog comes floooooooooding into the area where she and her army stand, obscuring them all from view)
(but her voice - her extremely pissed-off voice - can still be heard from the fog)
Ghh... Seize them! I don't care how broken up your lines get, I want them beaten!
(You all can hear climbing, and trudding along the paths down from the overhang...)
(...And now, out of the fog, at least a few dozen of these Dragon Tooth Warriors lunge towards you all, swords and spears in hand.)

(...I really wish I had my transmitter sorted now.)
Fair enough. (Starts following the Servant)
"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."
