Elizia
@Minerva @Jeremi @Lucky @Gummi Bunnies
Elizia was a little surprised seeing the man recover so much just from drinking a potion, but pleasantly so. It seemed these potions were just as good as a lobster or two in a pinch, perhaps even better. She'd have to look into brewing some herself, but for now, that wasn't really her main focus.
No, right at this moment, there was someone about to steal a prized possession from this very vault; the Crown they had been tasked to protect. Though, the abilities the thief possessed intrigued her, and made her rethink her strategy for recovering this crown.
"A Spellcaster, huh? ... I guess I'll be at a disadvantage..." She said thoughtfully.
After all, melee was weak to magic last she checked, and she didn't have the time nor runes to outcompete a mage with her own magical abilities, nor arrows to overcome such a foe through taking advantage of the combat triangle. No, she had to... Improvise.
Quickly, she sheathed her scimitars, and took off what looked to be some kind of backpack on her, stuffing the sheathed weapons in there, and taking out what looked to be a
spear and a
shield, both made of some green, durable metal. The same stuff her scimitars were made out of.
Her usual combat gear after all, included two sets for each side of the combat triangle; one for fighting offensively, one for a more... Defensive approach.
The latter of which she would be needing right about now.
...
As they ventured deeper into the tunnels, Elizia couldn't help but be reminded of a more recent venture of hers; traveling to the desolate Crandor Island to slay Elvarg, the dragon that had burnt it to the ground.
Although, instead of a dragon, once they reached the end of the tunnels, where the Crown was held... She found not only the fleeing Spellcaster who had just taken the Crown, but a group of Nashers jumping through a portal.
While she was prepared to utter some rehearsed words of monologue, something about one of them caught her eye; the Assassin from yesterday. She memorized the symbol she saw on that Cloaked Nasher, feeling like it was going to be important, but unfortunately, this gave the enemy a golden opportunity to vacate the premises for the most part, save for two... And an Automated knight ontop of that.
Though the latter was likely security, Elizia saw it as an enemy as well, but unlike the Nashers, perhaps there was a different way to deal with it...
But that would have to wait a little.
As the Automaton swung down with its sword, Elizia quickly
rushed forwards in an attempt to
block its blow with her shield. She had her Hasta prepared, incase she needed to strike in retaliation, or more likely... Fend off the attacking Nashers too.
"If you are this vault's guardian... Stand down! We are not your enemy!" She shouted towards the Automaton.
Although, she was fully prepared to take it down as well if it was unable to be reasoned with. The Nashers were a well established threat, but she wasn't entirely sure what this machine was attacking them for if it was indeed her to guard the vault.
The thought didn't occur to her yet, that the Automaton may have been... Tampered with.
