Everyone find cover immediately! Get your asses in gear!

Find cover where? We are in a cave.

[This is said rather calmly, of course; she's already on her feet and casually picking the birds off one by one with her bow.]

[ He really hates shooting animals, but it can't be helped. It's them or us, man! It's a good thing the Dead Zone can't compromise his aim. ]

I don't know, get creative! Try them at a different angle, are try to use the blankets and rope to set up a tent to shield everyone.

[You can probably make an exception for evil blood-sucking songbirds, Jr.!

Alleria shoots a few more birds down, then grunts, frustrated.]

You're right; this is taking too long. We do need to get creative.

[She looks around for a moment, then gets an idea -- rummaging through her pack, she comes up with some kindling and rope, which she ties around one of her arrows. And then she grabs a flare from wherever, snaps it to life, and sets her arrow ablaze.

And then she shoots a bird.

Luckily, this actually worked how she wanted, and the bird goes flailing into several others, setting them on fire as well, who careen into others and set them aflame, and so on.

And Alleria just beams up at her work for a moment, shielding her eyes.]

Much quicker.

[ That draws an appreciative nod in the split second moment he's able to really look. ]

Just be careful you don't catch one of us on fire!

As long as nobody's running around with breeches made of straw, I think we'll be alright.

[She keeps on with this method until she's out of kindling, at which point she just goes back to shooting them down arrow by arrow.]

Man, I could make this a lot quicker if anyone brought some caisos or something. Shame on me for not bringing my damn wallet, I guess.

[That gets a brief, sideways glance.] I don't follow.

[ He flashes a hapless grin and a shrug. ]

If you got anything similar, I can show you.

[F...rown ... but yes, okay. She stoops down for her pack again, fishes out some coins, and hands them over.]

[ A little surprised, but pleased, he accepts them with a nod and steps back. With a quick flick of his gaze from here to there to survey the room, Jr. tosses the coins up as high into the air as he can before aiming.

He fires three successive shots, but as they ricochet off the coins in a flashy display of pings and sparks, nearly two dozen birds are taken out before the coins all fall to the ground in a clatter.

It looks like a mere parlor trick, but an experienced marksman would know that he needed to calculate the position and angle of each coin before knowing when and where to fire in a split-second.

It might be a flashy move, but it's also surprisingly effective. If you don't mind wasting money. With a sigh, seeing how many more are left, he turns and shrugs before continuing firing. ]

Thanks! I'll pay you back.

[Alleria pauses in her assault at that, stilling with an arrow nocked in her bow, watching with eyes just slightly widened.

Parlor tricks indeed.]

With interest, I hope. [That's probably a joke.

She flashes a small, brief grin before returning to shooting down birds.]

[ That draws a sharp laugh from him despite the slow-going massacre. ]

You bet! I'll even send it over with flowers.

[She fires an arrow, and pauses.]

Mageroyal is my favorite.

[And then she'll continue firing.]

[ Well he has no clue what that is, but that's what the castle library is for! Plus he has an even better idea, anyway. B) ]

[Jr., behave!! No, it's fine. Just don't let Sylvanas catch you flirting with her sister!]
