Wizard rythym

[Anastasia]

Croneasco is busy - arrows fly by as he stands his ground. He's kneeling before an array of runes carved into a ruin wall, half collapsed as he works on. Fully focused despite battle around him - a pitched melee, forces on both sides clashing in a confusing mess.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa takes a moment to assess what's going on.

[Anastasia]

It looks like a pitched battle. Both sides are humans, but some trained dogs are being used as well. From the looks of it the force Croneasco is on is defending him, while he works on those runes.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa inspects the runes, to figure out what it is he's working on.

[Anastasia]

It looks to be the activation for a great deal of magic here - an entire array of magical defenses.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa considers how to activate it and watches what Croneasco is doing wrong.

[Anastasia]

It would be trivial for your power and skill. He's not doing anything wrong, just figuring it out on the fly, which is not easy.

[Iron Dragoon]

Croneasco is male, BTW.

Alyssa will continue to watch and not interfere until it looks like he needs it desperately... And even then will only provide a spark of inspiration for the sequence.

[Anastasia]

I hate typos.

It's tight, tense - and the defending side is losing. Croneasco is running out of time, fast.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa sends him a little burst of inspiration. Some help to think a bit faster and a bit of dust swirling around the runes he's making mistakes with.

At the last moment it's done. As they approach the defenses come to light, blasts of fire and heat slamming into the enemy forces.
