Chapter 9

How do you attack the heroes?

What have I told you about ganging up on people?

The Drider seems to be letting you take the lead here, you can't imagine why, but a simple yet hopefully effective plan comes into your head.

"You cut left, I'll cut right and snipe, when you get down there, do, whatever it is you do..." You finish somewhat lamely. "I've never seen you fight, so..." You explain a second or two later.

"Prepare to be impressed." The Drider says stalking down towards the group, before a pair of wicked looking scimitars comes out of her inventory, which your not sure how she carries it since she has no pack, and she charges in against the the fighter, decapitating him with two quick slashes. You mean while have been running full tilt and put your self behind the boll of a largish tree, no sense not taking cover if you are going to play sniper, and start unleashing crossbow bolts at the healer's back. Your first shot misses, narrowly avoiding hitting the Drider, but your next four shots connect, and in a tiny flash of light he un-spawns back to town, a few bits of treasure from his pack falling where he had stood. ~That must be some ability of the Driders~ you think as you run forward and close on the sorceress, not wholly trusting the boss to not take the chance to kill the little chickadee you want for yourself. In all the excitement you almost miss the soft * Ding! * of a level up, but pay it no mind for now, you have bigger fish to fry.

The sorceress, is terrified now, alone without a light source, and low on mana, you think it will be a simple matter to bind her and take her, but...

You step on a twig, dislodged in the fight, and the sorceress whirls and fires a bolt of lighting at you and you dive aside, singed and ANGRY. She throws two more bolts of enrgy but they dont come close to you and getting into a firing crouch you empty a clip into her and there is another soft * Ding! * as she too is thrown back to town.

"Thank you." You say bowing to the Drider, and she puts her swords back wherever they came from.

"You are most welcome little Dryad." She says and turns back to her lair without a backwards glance, while you turn your thoughts to what to do next...

What's your next course of action?
