"Tension much?" Raven whispered.

Aiday blushed, "I don't know much about these things."

Scorpio gave up on trying to sleep and stood back up, looming above everyone at around 8 feet tall.

Guinevere's weapons, gifts from her son, glinted in the soft moonlight. Her pistol, a modified Magnum, was a hand cannon for anyone under 6 feet. The long-barrelled revolver had a sandalwood grip and shot slugs the size of her thumb. Her blade, however, was her main mode of damage. Greatsword didn't really begin to cover it, as the sword was almost as big as she was. Black steel with a blue handle wrap and overlays on the hilt like a wolf joined the blade with the handle. The pommel spike could break rock, and the handguard and hilt were meticulously carved with spiraling patterns and knots. The pistol, held in the huntress's left hand, was leveled at the intruder in the woods while her blade rested on her right shoulder.

"Imma give you to the count of three before I plug that shit-eating face full of lead."

Sensing danger, Scorpio unfolded his wings, whipping his tail around and shooting small droplets of paralyzing poison from it as an intimidation technique.

“Hm? But how would you know what my face looks like?” Sinistra took a step back, leaning against a tree. “Nice collection of weapons you got there, by the way. Had to do a double take there, it’s not often I see someone with such large weaponry.” She seemed to yawn. “Go ahead, attack me. Attack me who has shown no ill intentions. I dare you.”

Nevihata took a moment to study Guinevere, before reloading his rifle with a click. He aimed it at Sinistra, crouching down slightly, finger ready to hit the trigger. “Show no ill intentions right now, it’ll show them later. Never trust something that comes from somewhere you’ve never heard of, ever.” He noted outloud to everyone in the range.

((I’ll give you permission to shoot her/it. She/it deserves it. If you want to, of course.))

Stardew, ever so slowly, drew her sword. It looked pitifully thin and foppish with its hilt of gems next to Guinevere's imposing greatsword, but Stardew handled it like it was an extension of her body. Deep in her black-and-silver eyes, a dangerous light gleamed.

Aiday stepped forwards. Between sides. "Don't shoot!" she pleaded. "This creature has shown you guilt! Why should you kill her?"

Scorpio gave an inhuman hiss and flapped his wings, taking off much faster than you would expect something so big to be able to. He lashes his tail at Sinistra and sprays paralyzing poison at her with his tail.
(If the poison hits her, it will completely stop her from moving within a matter of seconds and she will die from her heart not being able to beat, or her lungs not being able to function, or basically no muscle being able to move at all.)

Aiday's eyes turned to slits of fury as she raced to the fallen creature. "I can heal you!" she cried as she made her way towards it. "How long can you survive?" she gasped as she avoided the poison running on the ground.

"I'm not shooting," Stardew replied, watching Scorpio take off. "I'm not even attacking with my blade – yet. I'm not bloodthirsty. I just love a good, jovial fight, and this is shaping up to be possibly a very nasty one."

Rather than shoot, Guinevere lunged with a speed uncommon for someone of her size. She couldn't compare with Scorpio, but her legs found footholds in the soft earth that propelled her forward like a bird in flight. In tandem with the creature, she hefted her blade in an overhead slash mighty enough to cleave a tree in half.

There. Got a spot in if we need to rearange.

I can delete my last one.

Might make things easier.

(Wait is she attacking Scorpio?)

Raven frowned. Well, it's not like I can do anything now.

((Sinistra has no organs or muscles. She looks and acts as if she were humanoid, but she really isn’t human at all. Although she has what might be considered a brain it’s kinda weird how it works.))

Sinistra ducked backwards to avoid the poison. She stared directly at Scorpio, though it was hard to see due to her ‘helmet.’

At the same time, Nevihata fired his rifle at Sinistra. There was no way she could possibly dodge this.

With only seconds to react, Sinistra saw the incoming blade. To whoever was closest to her, they could see as she seemed to melt before their eyes. Melt into a thick, tar like substance, but it moved quickly, leaving no trace of her behind. No clothing, no body parts. No nothing. The liquid pulsed a blue colour as it moved away from its attackers, slithering up a tree a few feet away, then seeming to be absorbed into the tree. Within moments, Sinistra had vanished.

“Wait..what?” Nevihata was confused, for once.

Stardew raised a brow and sheathed her sword. "Did you know she – it – whatever or whoever – could do that?"

Scorpio stared in horror at the sludge as it moved and then vanished, flying back onto the ground. Not many things scare this big boy, but ever since getting beat up by a dragon where-beast, he was wary of them.
