Casey is initially surprised when Dorian approaches him, confusion only mounting as Dorian begins to dance without another word. Casey watches in awe, and by the end of Dorian's performance he begins to feel inexplicably rejuvenated! He chuckles to himself, adding this to the list of strange things he's seen since leaving home.

"Thanks, mate! I owe you one!" With a newfound spring in his step, Casey hurries along, catching up with Sunny and Barnabas at the edge of the hills.
"Give me a shout if you need a hand!" he calls after them. "They'll be upon us soon."

Well. All alone out here, on this side of the mountains, trying to sneak to a distant fort without getting flattened by a bunch of scary bird guys. And, of course, no Mazelina to help if things go terribly wrong. Logan's really banking on the birds being distracted with the big melee right now as they continue on their flight.

Still fighting off the fear of being on the front lines of this, Barnabas's eye began to itch a bit, the old scar flaring up by it as phantom pain began, seeing similar rage in the eyes of these laguz as he had in that warrior of that bear tribe. Still he pushed a little forward anyway, falling to his arms and legs as he called on the power of his blood.

Lys is a ways in front of her, and Mazelina offers the other healer a smile as she makes her way by! Gotta be nice, especially since she seemed so nervous around her before.
Maz will move three North one one West! Then, she's going to PUSH SUNNY FORWARD!

Once Baylee sees Barney move up and transform, it inspires her to follow. She moves up the hill until she has a perfect view of the Laguz. She raises her axe and let’s it fly towards the closet body.

Sunny tumbles forward, the sudden force behind her that propels her forward nearly knocking her off of her feet. Luckily, she keeps her footing despite the treacherous terrain, and turns to Mazelina.

"Suppose I deserved that one, huh?" She asks, offering Mazelina a grin before turning back to the approach at hand. Sunny moves to stay in some semblance of a formation, parking herself behind the now transformed Barnabas.

Casey watches as several of his friends move to take on the wolves closing in on them. He eyes the crows in the distance, a sinking feeling taking root in his gut. He's not sure if they're close enough to strike, but the looming threat of a two pronged attack is enough to convince Casey that he's better off hanging back for the moment.

Barney, Airitech, and Logan move! Once Barney is done with it, he turns into a puppy.
Mazelina shoves Sunny and moves! (+2 EXP)
Baylee throws her axe! It strikes true! 5 damage! (+2 EXP)
The hound transforms!
Saya lets loose on the newly-transformed hound! Their first attack almost misses, but the sight of Barnabas inspires them to strike true! The hound counter-attacks! He almost hits, but the sheen of Barnabas's dog-mullet blinds him for a moment! Saya strikes once more, this time hitting him by their own power! 8 damage total! (+2 EXP)
Sunny takes shelter!
Casey also takes cover!
As he wasn't called upon to take action by a player, Dorian acts of his own volition! He dashes to Sunny's side, and a few confusing dance moves later, she feels like she can take one more turn! (+2 EXP)
Lys follows near Mazelina, in spite of being overcome with the sudden urge to pet Barnabas. She's never pet a dog before, and that's a nice little tragedy you only get to know out-of-game.
Carlyle keeps close to Airitech.

"It's a helpful shove, not an upset one, I promise!" Mazelina insists to Sunny, gripping the staff with both hands. It's strangely thrilling, to help nudge her teammates towards a battle.
Of course, that's not what she gets to do this turn. Nope! Instead, as soon as Sunny goes down she's rushing over, moving two spaces East and one space North before healing her! Did Sunny hear what she said? That's what REALLY matters...

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Okay, he just needed to hold his ground with Baylee, not let them get through to Sunny. Not let them see the fear in him.

"Damnit, not even a scratch?" he mutters. He quickly turns his attention to his friends, relieved to see Mazelina and Milo rushing to Sunny's aid. "I can help keep them busy, but it might be best to retreat for now!" Casey knows that laguz aren't to be taken lightly, but to see Sunny so swiftly dispatched was still quite a shock.

Sunny's eyes popped open.
Well this was certainly strange. She was standing up just a moment ago. Sunny looked down, and found evidence of a vicious rake across her chest, and a chunk out of her arm. Ah. So that contextualizes things.
Sunny springs to her feet, eyes shining with a wild energy. She turns to Dorian, his dance finishing, and then Mazelina. Her grin grows wide, even as her movements aggravate her not completely treated wounds.

"You... continue to flatter me with your attention, my allies! I..." She winces, though still keeping her smile. "I've been careless, but I'll be sure to not to make the same mistakes!"
With her part said, Sunny staggers back, composing herself for a moment before her tome flies to life, and Sunny moves away from the front lines even as dark magic leaps from her tome, lancing towards her previous attacker.
