Their breathing was heavy; even behind the bushes she was certain that the Knight would be able to hear them. There were eight of them... Had been eight of them, at least. Now down to seven, it was up to her to lead the party in their fallen comrade's place.
"On my mark..." The Moon Hunter murmured, drawing her bow before charging out of the bushes only to come face to face with one of the creatures responsible for killing their friend...
This was going to be an adventure.
With a thud and a clank, the shadow Knight readies its blade. It says nothing, but it doesn't need to. Not when it is fighting with murderous intent!

She sent an arrow flying at the knight and the army of shadows followed, catching the guard by surprise enough to knock him off balance. That was a good start, at least. But she needed to do better. They all needed to do better if they were going to continue playing this game.

The sound of battle rang around her, filling her ears ling a song. She could hear her weapon companion singing along with it. Smirking she shook her head, knocking another arrow to set it free.

One more shot and the knight fell. It was easy enough from there to let the shadows take care of the rest... She had more important things to attend to, like heading into the castle.

Aldara paused long enough to take a drink from the waters inside, waiting for the others to join her before motioning for them to follow along.
She held a hand out as they neared the next hallway, not trusting something about it. "I'll go first. Moe, Curly, you two can follow... The rest of you, wait until it's clear." She nodded, taking the first fateful step forward.
It was a doosey. The floor crumbled beneath her and had it not been for the companions she had asked to follow after she would have taken more than just a scrape. Together the three of them forged a path forwards, triggering two more traps before making it to the other side.
She cursed as she yanked a dart out of her arm, throwing it down to the floor with a very displeased look on her face before motioning for the rest of the party to tally forth and venture forward.

Someone, or something was on Aldara's side as she made her way through the next part of the Gauntlet. She took the lead once more, hopping from tile to tile until...
CLANK!
Something fell from above and clonked her on the head. Two of the shadows caught her again and she thanked them, smiling a half-hearted smile. Another memory lost... Who was it that she had forgotten this time? Or what?
Her brow furrowed as she continued on, reaching the end with a feeling of elation after stepping on the last tile.
The Gauntlet pt 3 - Mystic Tiles Starting/Current HP: 65/80 Ending HP: 80/80 The rolls:
The tile you step on gives way under your feet... and nothing happens. As you step on this tile, something wet sprinkles on you from above. Whatever it was, you feel better. Recover 15 HP.

You activate a trap. Take 3 damage. A companion reaches out and pulls you to safety! Nothing happens. As you step onto the tile, you are filled with a feeling of... elation...? Recover all HP.

Her heart had leaped up into her throat and she could still see it pounding there as she eyed the shaft of the javelin that had been flung at her. Her eyes drifted over it slowly and she swallowed. "Look, I just..."
Another javelin appeared in the Guardian's hand as she tried to talk her way through it, failing, of course.
"I will pass... Even if it means taking you down."

Limitless was drawn again, an arrow knocked as the battle began. She only had to give a few directions to the shadow soldiers before they dashed in to the fray as well.

The javelin was hard to avoid, however, and the Guardian had good aim, to say the very least. She cried out as she felt the blade of it slash against her skin, not letting that throw her off from letting another arrow fly free.

This time the Guardian managed to pin her down, javelin spearing through her shadow coat to hold her to the ground. She let out an angry, frustrated cry before knocking another arrow to set free.
"Just keep hitting it! Don't worry about me!" She called out to her shadow friends.
