The Temples Operation In Anupharis 240914

In the scorching heat of Anupharis' desert, amid the rolling dunes, a rigorous and intense confrontation unfolded as members of the Temple, along with associated allies, engaged in a strategic battle to intercept local intelligence crucial for gaining leverage in the ore-rich lands. Selina, manifesting her prowess in spellcraft, initiated the offensive, leveraging frost magic against her enemies, while her companions—Cara calling for reinforcements, Fayad leading charges, and Emmanuel taking strategic shots—played their parts in a carefully choreographed dance of warfare. Ash, employing an unusual tactic, invoked a glowing orb to aid their cause, signifying the unique blend of magic and might employed by the group. However, their well-laid plans were continually thwarted by the resilient sandfish riders of the local forces, adept in their own right at maneuvering through the desert landscape, creating a dynamic and challenging battlefield.

The battle raged on, with both sides experiencing fluctuations in momentum. Novel strategies were employed, from Samantha's rune magic augmenting their efforts, to the rivalry between Selina and the opposing forces intensifying with each frost-laden spell she cast. The turning point came as Brian managed to seize the crucial intelligence, momentarily tipping the scales in favor of the Temple. Yet, this victory was short-lived, as the relentless sandfish riders, coupled with the strategic blunders and miscommunications among the allies, led to a harrowing chase across the desert. Selina, undeterred by the mounting pressure, showcased her mastery over frost magic and shapeshifting, strategically kiting her adversaries and whittling down their numbers with precise, chilling assaults. In a display of tactical ingenuity and individual prowess, she outmaneuvered the sandfish riders, decisively claiming the intelligence and securing victory for the Balanced Alliance. Her final sprint towards the extraction point, undaunted by the pursuit of remaining sandfish riders, epitomized the resilience and determination that ultimately defined the outcome of this high-stakes operation.
At Fri Sep 13 2024, in a desert near Anupharis

Mission: Intercept local intelligence and bring it back to the extraction point.

Having made headway into the Other The Temple turns its gaze to new lands to conquer in its righteous crusade to protect humanity. It sees opportunity in the ore rich lands of Anupharis, but lacks the knowledge to select meaningful targets. Local governments employ sandfish riders to transport important news and messages between villages. For its first operation in Anupharis the Temple is looking to intercept the information one of these riders carries and to extract with it. The information in that message could be useful to anyone looking to gain leverage in the area.

Selina may not have the advantage of ANY kind of cover, but her mastery of shapeshifting certainly makes it seem like she does. Arrows abound from the riders, but none of them come close to hitting the lone woman breathing frost at the covered group of thirteen riders. She continues to press them with the elemental fury, but then they surprise her and rush her.

Selina killed the rise apparently, so they have to reason to stay away from her now. Ooops.

Selina switches to one of her other techniques with large groups of enemies that she does not want to tangle with in melee: Kiting. And she is quite good at it, making sure she builds up space between her and the encroaching force as quickly as she can.

Selina dispatches another chunk of the pursuing riders with the latest frost breath that strikes across almost all of them.
