Few travelers were seen on the roads. At villages and farms passed, Rebtex would cast his illusions and take brief sojourns. During these Talia would mount even higher into the sky and using what thermals there may be present, lazily circle until she again saw the party on the move. Each night as dusk arrived, she would make one final circle before rejoining the party.

As the group moved, Talia maintained her vigil from the sky. Within the hill lands, she was able to send warnings of several ambushes, but these all proved to of the more common form of thieves, not the Shadowlord's forces.

???? Where did this come from. My last post left us off in the forest surrounded by orcs. Sorry but I might have to use my reserved rights to ignore posts because it doesn't make sense to jump from that to this.

He first thought is she was captured and imprisoned then she notices she still has here dagger. Not of much use in a battle but proof enough it was one of the party that must have cast the bubble and it is to protect her.
Looking around she sees a dead orc with a quiver she tries to burst the bubble it does not. Then seeing Rebtex surrounded she pushes against the bubble, it moved!!! Pushing harder she moves it to were it is suddenly over half above the ground and carefully crawls out from under.
Grabbing the quiver she takes to the air again, much less in control than normal but he flies up high and starts firing. The arrows just bounced off the orcs???? Looking around she sees orc (Toshkir??, must be) moving towards a hill. Looking ahead she sees a "dark shadow" standing on the hill. Realizing what Toshkir must be doing, she circles to the other side of the shadow from Link and start firing at it. The first arrow might have hit it, but the next 2 bounced off just as they did from the orcs. But she has the shadows attention. As it turned to face her, she dived down seeking the protection of the rocks. She just succeeded when she saw what looked like a ball of black fire go through where she had been less than a second earlier.
Peeking over the edge she does not see the shadow for a moment, then she sees it. And it looks like it is turning around back toward where the fighting is and where Toshkir is coming up. She leaps into the air, spinning wildly and erratically more from pain and damage than intent but it works again. The shadow is about to unleash another spell in her direction....

How did she get here? What happened? Turning and looking for what or how, she was obviously in a panic. Calming for a moment, that could be considered later, right now... She shouted, "MORE THINGS ARE COMING. LOTS OF THINGS. WE NEED TO RETREAT TO WHERE WE CAN DEFEND."
Grabbing another quiver she flew up and tried laying down covering fire. The arrows were again bouncing off. She watched hoping for either help or the others to start retreating.

Between her earlier injuries and the abuse she had just taken, Talia was all but forced to the ground. She landed in some of the higher branches of the trees and with short flights managed to move between them back to where the others had been.
When she arrived she saw many creatures bleeding apparently from things thrown by the wind but also more with arrows. Deciding to test, she fired another arrow. This one hit. She then fired at one of the dark things and it hit it also, though if it harmed it, she could not tell. It continued to slowly move even with the arrow piercing its knee?? Deciding to get as much advantage, she fired the last 3 arrows of the quiver at orcs. Two elicited screams and the last the orc simply fell over with the arrow piercing its neck.
After a few more minutes she saw Rebtex waving from the hill. Delighted he was signaling to come she struggled and flew over to him. Landing/crashing started to beg for them to escape, when she heard him say, "This is a lost cause, we need to find the others and escape while they are disorganized." She pointed to where she had last seen Link and Toshkir.

Character Switch
Ishkar watched patiently on the outskirts of the camp. He knew he couldn't stay in the forest alone. It was crawling with foul and evil creatures. He knew that any orc that survived would tell of his betrayal. So he only had one option left, to join the troupe that had started the chaos. He wasn't sure of how to make his approach, he couldn't just walk in or he would be met with an arrow to the head, he would have to have leverage to explain his position before they could act on killing him, so he watched the troupe set up, he decided on who he was going to hold captive, and then he pounced on.........
