And the third horn call goes!

"Star, forgive us. I think you don't get a break yet."

Star snorts and charges , moving with the speed of legends. As they close, they see a small camp with two men, two women.

And itt is besieged!

Poor Symon.... "AH-YEE-AHHHH-YA!"

He bunkers down and doesn’t complain!

Dagmar sets Flyswatter like a lance - the spike on top pointed at the apparent foes!

Instead, he focuses, and counts backwards from 10 in his head for a bunk. Backwards glance, what happened here? Clinging for dear life.

the attackers appear to be Svartz, twisted elf dwarf looking mixes that ride rockwargs!

Just to make sure that they didn’t misjudge who needs helping...

and the fight is a mismatch, Three to one odds...

and.. images of the past fly... _ "Kill them all" One Svartz calls out "One of them may have clues to the scrap!"// The Human warriors called out "Ready yourself. we need to buy time" / And a distant boat, almost a raft, makes it's way down the river_

A pinch that Dagmar will feel through the battle energy! He points, “their boat!”

Grunt. "Can you sabotage it? I'll set you down..."

As she is partially occupied with spearing Svartzen.

"Bitch!" One turns "I shall thrall thee and use you as a milk cow!"

He thinks and realizes that they are trying to buy time for the boat to get to safety, and whispers to the ghost snake across his neck. “Pretty big ask, but your Abuela could control rains and storms. Do you think you can help them with a Swift current away?”

Sliding free and scrambling away from hooves.

Maybe not in mortal realms, he is a tiny snake, but just maybe, here?

Quetz slides down and slips into the water

Dagmar snorts at the threats, and swings at the Svartz - one does not normally think of a halberd as a mounted weapon, nor, particuarly, as one suited for a one-handed swing... but, well, Dagmar is not a small girl, especially in the Dreaming.

the Svartz who would make her a milk cow gets slaughtered like a pig as one stroke carves through his skull

He hunkers down and watches. Tiny knife in hand, watching for any opportunity to be useful.

Dagmar is a beast in battle - whatever else she may struggle with, combat allows a purity of action rarely found elsewhere in life.

Some Svartz yell and start to enter the water calling out, "It's a trick, the scrap is being carried by river..."

Dagmar runs them down - trick or not, she is going to be an OBSTACLE.

An archer lines up a shot at Dagmar with a odd crystal arrowhead that flickers with dark magic. His back is to the Sluagh, who he does not see

One of the human warriors, a woman with a spear moves to assist Dagmar... but even the two of them can't stop them all.

And then... out of the water...

"Welcome to the food chain" the now huge snake bites one of the foes in one gulp

Symon whips out his tongue to grab the leg of the one creeping on Dagmar. He doesn’t have to be strong! Just IN THE WAY!

And the arrow misses! Something shoots past Dagmar. She sees it hit a rock. And the ROCK dissolves into goo

"Damn!"

If she turns she may see a sorcerer archer fighting with a tongue tugging and marring her aim!

It was aimed for her!

The Svartz now find their advantage completely gone but there's no place to retreat.

If she turns she may see a sorcerer archer fighting with a tongue tugging and marring his aim!

Dagmar presses on - keeping the foe pressed between warriors and river-snake.

He creeps closer, winding in his tongue as he goes to avoid him deciding to cut it off! And digs from his pocket the vials he found at Firnost- DO NOT INJEST? He uncorks and splashes the contents in the sorcerer archer face

Whatever was in that, a bit gets into the guy's mouth. and the creature begins to gag , then his head starts to swell.. bulging as if too full of the wrong humours! It's rapidly getting to watermelon size..a nd the eyes are.. pushing out?

Symon rapidly withdraw his tongue now, before any can get on him. Srrruuuuuppp.

That merits a "GROSS," amidst Svartzen-smashing.

Dagmar has killed another and another

Do any evil looking crystal arrows remain in the quiver?

"By the gods!" One human warrior says, and DIVES behind cover as if expecting something

Uh oh. Symon takes cover.

Nope... guy is too busy gagging and swelling.. and BOOM!

Like a stick of dynamite was put in a melon

...Blink...
