-Kel crouched, poised ready for his mark. The moment felt like it lasted an eternity. Looking out across and down the mountain range, he can see why someone would build a tower and home in such a beautiful location. 'I could lose myself here, settle down, run from the all the conflict.’ he thought+Kel crouched, poised ready for his mark.

 Lathor the Half-Elf, a tall man with short white hair, instinctively tries brushing back hair that is no longer there as he steps out of cover. Bow drawn he takes aim at the top window of the tower where a figure stands, releasing the arrow as he hears the mechanical click and crack of a bolt releasing from the Sargent’s crossbow firing. Lathor the Half-Elf, a tall man with short white hair, instinctively tries brushing back hair that is no longer there as he steps out of cover.

-The bolt of fire erupts a few mere feet from Kel making him stumble and fall, scrambling the last few feet to cover behind the rock. Kel takes a deep breath of the cooling air. A tingling comes over his leg and then a harsh warmth, as he opens his eyes he’s almost blinded by the firey blaze upon his leg.+The bolt of fire erupts a few mere feet from Kel, making him stumble and fall, scrambling the last few feet to cover behind the rock. Kel takes a deep breath of the cooling air. A tingling comes over his leg and then a harsh warmth, as he opens his eyes he’s almost blinded by the fiery blaze upon his leg.
  
-The arcane fire seemingly hotter than any normal fire, as if someone drenched you in oil, then threw you onto a bonfire on the hottest day of Highsun. Kel lets out a cry as he starts trying to puting out the fire.+The arcane fire seemingly hotter than any normal fire, as if someone drenched you in oil, then threw you onto a bonfire on the hottest day of Highsun.

-Both the arrow and bolt fly true toward the window where the mage stands. Not wanting to be the next targets Lathor and Boki duck behind the boulder, without seeing if their retalitation was successful. As they prepare for another round the screams of Kel reach them and a shorter shout echoes out from the tower.+Both the arrow and bolt fly true toward the window where the mage stands.

 “Go! I’ll cover” the Sargent demands, as he loads a new bolt causing the wood of the crossbow creak from the stress and wear. Lathor gives his Sargent a solid nod, looks towards the tower confirming there’s no immediate threat, starts running towards Kel still screaming as he tries to quell the flames. “Go!

-The Sargent follows closely behind, crossbow raised and trained on the tower, the smell of burning flesh already filling the nearby air, screams echoing across the valley. haunting echoes and smell of bloody death have been a daily experience within the Ashlem Rise since the war started six years ago.+The Sargent follows closely behind, crossbow raised and trained on the tower.

-Lathor reaching Kel quickly drops to his knees and starts covering the flames on Kel’s leg with an old tattered leather tunic.+Lathor reaching Kel quickly drops to his knees and starts covering the flames on Kel’s leg with an old tattered leather tunic. Lathor and the Sargent exposed with no cover work quickly to help Kel, bandaging wounds and moving further up the mountain in silence awaiting an attack from the mage from the tower but never comes.
