She hits the ground with a thud but quickly recovers, her tumble turning into a roll that she soon leaps out of. Aiming for the archmage, she picks a seed out of her sleeve and activates Manacharge. The moment she gets near him, Savannah focuses her energy into the seed and socks him in the face, causing the seed to burst into a flurry of tentacle like vines that latch onto the man and constrict him.
As you come at him, the mage makes a quick gesture at you and you feel your magic slipping away and your connection to the seed cut. You end up just punching him in the face as you come out of your roll, dealing 79 damage (roll 1+6). He raises his shield as he backs away, beginning another incantation.

It's going to be troublesome getting that tracking spell off when a mage is psychically punching her little beak! Righting herself back into proper flight, Myra casts a reflecting barrier upon herself in hopes that enemy magic will bounce back onto the caster. She's not sure if it'll work, but it's worth a shot when she has to buy herself enough peace to get this damned tracking spell off of her.
You manage to cast a decent spellbarrier around yourself (roll 13+9), only to see two guards levitating towards you from the streets below, standing atop a shimmering disc of energy!

The thought being that he should deliver this Champion Blade straaiiiiighttt to the man's face. Just to let the guard knows what winning feels like. Truly, Watson will emerge victorious from this encounter, no?
You begin to swing at him, but the captain reacts by striking the back of your sword, sending it smashing harmlessly into the iron bars of the cage (Hit 1+5 Vs Defense 10), then follows up with a diagonal slash across your chest, sending you reeling and inflicting 304 damage!

She still looked very irritated, as if she was about to lash out in response, but given her scenario she wasn't in any position to move and as such, did not resist.
"Yeah, sure." She said with a bit of snark. "I don't know why you're so worried about me though."
There is the loud screeching sound of metal and suddenly, a large shield is thrown at guardsman's head that is pinning Bohw down, with the rampaging Mayor running up to them not far behind. His eyes filled with an unbelievable anger as he follows up his shield throw with disarming bash from his shoulder, attempting to throw the offender to the ground during the sudden confusion of his appearance.
*In that moment, Bohw rushes to her feet and sticks a hand in her coat. "It's him you should be worried about!" She taunts, pulling out a small, steel orb sparking with energy. While it looks explosive, the blue runes all along it were interesting enough for the Impling to grab them from Ziras' crate of explosives from way back. The strange mechanism felt like a small electrical storm in her palm and she had no idea what it did, but now was a good enough time to figure out, she thought, as she threw the bomb at the second guard that 'escorting' her.
*(this is all assuming Mayor is successful in disarming the attack on Bohw)
Mayor's shield strikes the guard in the back of the head, staggering him and dealing 137 damage (roll 8+5), and more importantly giving Bohw a chance to get out of the way (Roll 3). However, seeing his companion falter, the second guard wastes no further time, driving his strike home by impaling Bohw through the back and all the way into the cobblestones beneath, dealing 963 damage.
Mayor then arrives, backhanding the second guard with one massive iron fist, sending him crashing to the ground and dealing 252 damage (roll 19+5). The guard drops the sword, leaving it impaled in Bohw.
The first guard recovers, drawing his sword and raising his shield defensively.
---
Meanwhile, Mael continues his merciless dismembering of the guard in front of him, taking first his other arm with one swing of his blade, then pushing him to the ground with a swift kick before finishing him off by lobbing off the defenseless guard's head, dealing a total of 604 damage (roll 16+7, crit).
The two remaining guards rush at Mael in an attempt to stop this, but both prove far too slow, and Mael easily turns aside the first guard's thrust with his own blade (Hit 1+3 Vs Defense 11), though he is then forced to endure the followup strike from the second guard, which leaves a nasty gash across his chest for 315 damage.
Taran glares at the guard who struck Bohw, then brings his hands forwards, surging with power, obviously intent on blasting the guard. However, across the street, the mage makes a simple snipping gesture, and Taran's spell completely fizzles. Torhald takes advantage of the mage's distraction by slashing at him with his sword, dealing 285 damage. (roll 15+4)
