[For the first few days, Raine will be tagging along with the offensive groups. She has a radio, in case she's called for any immediate emergencies, but whomever she ends up following will be guaranteed supportShe's also carrying more supplies than the standard first aid kit, if anyone finds that they're growing low. As usual she has her staff, but she's wary of casting her offensive magic spells given the uncertainness of that mine's stability in places. Granted this may keep her from being able to defend herself properly, especially if the teams come into contact with Shifters or Shift Hunters. Hopefully someone will be near enough to defend her should a situation turn messy ( ... )

Like when she misses the Third Party she's aiming for, and Demon Seals the wall instead. The tunnel here is narrow, so it's not too much of a misfire, but the walls are also unstable.
It's not the best idea to take her eyes off of her opponent to check on how Raine's doing, either.]

Hopefully the strengthening spells she cast on both herself and Sheena when they got into this situation will hold out for long enough.]

It doesn't take long for that seal to fade; she'll have to recover by then.]

Maybe by some luck, some falling rocks from overhead take out at least one of the advancing soldiers. If Raine had an extra moment, she would be casting a spell on Sheena to try and help her out, but she's firmly preoccupied in keeping any of the third party's blows from landing on her.
Even with the adrenaline rush of the moment, it is tiring.]

What her instinct tells her to do is stop and summon. But there's no time and no room for that. It would probably bring the ceiling down on top of them (or worse - drop the floor somehow).
Sheena seems to have found the strength to move like a ninja, though, mostly too fast for the Third Party to get in many hits. Just gotta dispose of hers, and then she can see about helping Raine.]

Over and over, the sounds of the resounding clangs of weapon on weapon echo through the hollow area. Raine also finds herself slowly being backed toward a wall even as she attempts to find any advantage she can in her situation. A battle of wills and stamina then. She's become used to this position. If it went on for too long, she might consider taking certain risks if only to shake them off.
But for now she remains determined to hold her own, as she can, even throwing out a taunt or two in an attempt to distract them.]

If they back Raine against that wall she'll be stuck. And they could easily hurt her - or worse - and turn on Sheena next. Does this count as enough of an emergency?
Apparently she thinks it does - in the darkness, a faint deep-purple light flares up around her feet, spreading into a glyph so large that some of it isn't visible. She keeps her incantation quiet. No sense in alerting the Third Party that she's up to something, is there? The only thing they should hear is]
Come! Shadow!
[...And then they will probably meet their deaths. Shadow doesn't like people after his pact-maker. But that took so long, Sheena doesn't even know if Raine's still standing.]

... and then Shadow attacks.
The soldiers are suddenly caught up in the torrent of dark magic, confused and consumed by the power of darkness. The one that doesn't die immediately is knocked out and subsequently tagged by Raine, who used the distraction to try and gain an opportunity. She's winded. But it's over.
... At least, so it seems. There is an odd rumbling sound in the distance of crumbling rocks and stone.]
Reply
The rumbling, though. It's on her mind. Damn! Once she spots Raine, she puts the rest of her effort into getting over against the same wall her friend was backed into. That should be safer, right? Maybe she can find the mana in herself somewhere for another Guardian Seal...]
Reply
If there's enough time for that. The rumbling doesn't seem to be growing any less, and in the dim light its hard to remember which direction they had come from before the ambush.]
Sheena! Over here, quickly.
Reply
[She can feel it through the ground. Something big is going to happen. It's a hard stumble that eventually lands her next to Raine, on her rear end against the wall. She can't force herself to stand again just yet.
What she can do is stare up at the roof of their tunnel as though that will help.]
It's gonna fall...
Reply
Just hang on... [Her expression manages to remain set, despite the apprehension she feels. The staff trembles as she lifts it, concentrating on her magic.] Healing circle!

We've gotta try to get outta here, Raine!
Reply
I-if we follow this wall, we should be able to get back up the way we came. Or at least get to a different area.
Reply
No dice. Her legs are like jelly. With enough effort she can push herself up, but slow and weak steps like these won't get her far enough, fast enough.
Still, she has to try. Or at least try to get Raine out.]
O-Okay, I'll follow you.
