Phase One (All According to Plan)

"Alright, lets do this! Show them what we're made of!" Emmaline pumped her fist in the air as the group made their way toward the entrance to the Gnoll's hideout.

Fuu gave her a nod before slipping off to the side, following Becky in to disappear into the bushes until the main Gnoll horde was past.

Beaming, Emmaline stepped forward, out from the treeline and into the clearing, putting herself in full view of the two Gnoll guards. One let out howl as it spotted her, while the other simply salivated in anticipation.

"Oh my, it seems I've gotten my self caught by a pair of Gnolls! And all by my helpless lonesome!" Emmaline teased, pouting. "It's a shame there's nothing I can do but lay down and let them have their way with me..."

The Gnolls quickly clambered down from their guard towers, practically throwing themselves down the ladders, before scrambling to their feet to make their way toward Emmaline.

The beautiful dancer smirked, beginning to twist and shift her weight. Her arms slid through the air, finding the currents of energy within herself and the world around her. She closed her eyes, even as the Gnolls drew closer, turning inward, centering herself. Emmaline twirled to the rhythm of flame within her heart, the paces getting faster and faster as she drew in more and more of that power. A part of her didn't want to stop, holding some much elemental might had a certain kind of exhilarating ecstasy...

Deeper in the forest, Liv poked out from her hiding place, nestled in the upper branched of one of the trees, drawn out of her preparations by the sound of an immense explosion coming from the Gnoll cave.

"She's such an airhead... I always forget how powerful she can be." Liv mumbled to herself before returning to her preparations, adjusting the scope of her rifle.
