Toryll Feralda received the order: "Now!" and burst out from behind the rock she'd been hiding behind. Over the course of the battle, she'd lost track of Elias and Tam which distressed her, but also entered a state of calm: she wasn't caught up by fear, rage or bloodlust.
She advanced, glancing around to make sure no humans poked their heads out. One popped up, but she put him down with a burst from her shuriken pistol.
Glancing to her left, she saw Elias, felt a wave relief, then felt several impacts on her torso, fell, and knew no more.
