(3rd PoV)
The small group moved silently until they could see the pirates. Some were sitting around a small campfire, while others were unloading small boats. Mystera turned to Salix, "Do you think you can get the attention of those three by that boat?" Salix looked at Mystera, "What! Why me, why don't you shoot them?" "I was hoping to bring them here and not attract all of them at once." replied Mystera. Salix grumbled a few words in Orcish as she moved into a better position. Reaching into her pouch for a couple of dice, she infused them quickly and sent them flying.
"What the hell was
that?" shouted Anharu.
"A shadowbolt." replied
Salix
"Not likely! What did you grab?" growled Anharu as
he started reaching for Salix's bag. She slapped his hands away,
which brought her voidwalker forward, "If you must know, I use
dice and my shadowbolt to make a kind of weapon." hissed
Salix.
Mystera closed her eye, and mentally sent Lulu to attack.
As she opened her eyes she slowly and with deadly calm spoke.
"Enough, thanks to your shouting match we have more trouble than
we needed. You, rogue, move it. Vanish and take out one without
killing. We need someone to question. Salix send in your void on
the group coming to the right. And curse them quickly."
Both Anharu and Salix
stopped bickering and looked over to the approaching humans. Salix
was quick to follow Mystera's orders. Anharu however, "Did you
just tell me what to do?"
"Yes, and if you don't get
moving, I'm going to shoot you. Now Move It." shouted
Mystera.
Salix snickered as Anharu paled, before moving away and
fading into the shadows.

I
couldn't believe it when that stupid rogue tried to take my dice
pouch. I had been ready to curse him into mush if it hadn't been for
Mystera yelling at us. I didn't even stop to think about her orders,
I just followed them. Now, seeing all of the pirates coming was a
little unnerving, but I quickly sent curse after curse, followed by
my Rain of Fire spell, focusing only on the humans that my void was
fighting. I was afraid of hitting Lulu, otherwise. I glanced over
and saw Mystera calmly shooting her arrows. 'How can she do that.'
Then I heard her, "Use that fire storm of yours again. And don't
worry about Lulu, she'll herd them into it."
"But
aren't you worried about her getting hurt and what about Anharu?..
Not that I care about the rogue!" I quickly added. I heard
Mystera chuckle, "Lulu will be fine, and that rogue did as he
was told. He's watching his prisoner, we just need to finish here.
I'm trying to group the pirates together. My volley, plus that
firestorm of yours should end this fight quickly." I nodded at
her and with a command to Zag'nagma, we worked quickly to bring the
pirates together.
