The Gnolls are Slain

Emmaline moved slowly, taking deep breaths as she focused on snuffing the flames on her own skin. She looked around at the conflict through the heat haze. Fuu and Gruul were pale ghosts striking out at the brown smudges of the other Gnolls. Even half blind as she was, she knew that they were winning.

Emmaline couldn’t catch the pops of Liv’s rifle over the crackling flames, but she did see the results. Gnolls not in active combat with Fuu or Gruul started falling to the ground and not moving again.

Emmaline‘s body slowly cooled as she wiped her hands down her arms, peeling the flames from her now nude body. She had done a similar trick as the finale of her acrobat act but she never felt comfortable about the time it took to cool down to try it in combat. Now, all she could do was smile as no Gnoll could reach her. Through the clearing haze, she even saw Becky appear from the bushes and stab a Gnoll with a poisoned dagger.

Emmaline gathered the scraps of flame she peeled off, wrapped them together into a ball, and tossed it almost casually at a Gnoll trying to crawl away. Fuu turned to her and nodded before she started to look around for stragglers. Emmaline wasn’t going to let her get away with just a look though. “Fuu~” Emmaline skipped over to her and wrapped her arms around Fuu’s waist. Emmaline pressed her bare breasts into Fuu’s back, leaning in to whisper in her ear. “Welcome back~” Fuu had her stoic expression on, but Emmaline could feel the shiver run up her spine.

Fuu relaxed slightly as Gruul started moving around and putting down any Gnoll that was not finished. “Thank you.” Emmaline smirked but didn’t get to tease her more as Becky approached.

Becky practically stumbled over the Gnoll corpses, looking around quickly in a vain attempt to look professional before practically throwing herself at Fuu. Becky slid her thin arms around Fuu, just under Emmaline’s breasts, and squeezed as best as her frail body could. “I'm so glad you're okay.”

Fuu wrapped her arms around Becky and relaxed her stoic posture somewhat. “Glad to be back.”

Emmaline pouted. “Aww, why don’t I get a hug?”

Becky broke away with a slight blush as Fuu simply turned her head to Emmaline. “Do you really want to get dirtier? Your clothes burned off.”

Emmaline squeezed Fuu tight. “I didn’t want you to be the only naked one around here.”

Fuu looked away, but Emmaline saw a slight blush on her cheeks. Fuu sighed and turned around to hug her. “Fine.”

Emmaline giggled before hugging her leader tight. She gave her a squeeze but made sure to rub their nipples together to tease Fuu more. She loved the quiet gasp Fuu gave. Emmaline‘s teasing came to an abrupt end as the situation changed.

Gruul had finished off the wounded Gnolls and was walking over to the Bravos until he stopped, dropped his spear, and took a few steps back with his hands raised.

From out of the trees, Liv appeared with a scowl on her face and a gun leveled at the Gnoll.
