The sudden and surprisingly loud “SKEWER!” shout from somewhere further up was, even among the general din of nearby battle, rather distinct. Asteria felt her fur bristle in reaction and spent a short moment to consider whether to go check out the situation, since none of the goblins seemed interested in trying to take back their bonfire. She was just about to consult with Ed, when Oberon flew towards and over them, grabbed a crystal or two from the pile and flew back. As far as Asteria could see, the pixie headed in the direction the shout had come from. So, whoever Oberon was trying to assist probably wouldn’t mind the Rats’ backup.

“Hey, Ed,” Asteria whispered “let’s go help Oberon. The enemies are apparently too preoccupied killing off our allies to worry about their home-base.” She then nudged Mother Rat and nodded towards the pixie returning into the fray of battle, intending to once again gesture to the older Dire Rat to come help them, both because she’d be helpful and safer fighting in a group than waiting somewhere alone, even if hidden. Hopefully, she was intelligent enough to differentiate between enemies and allies when it came to others not of their species, because otherwise her involvement could have some undesirable consequences. Still, Asteria felt confident enough that Mother would simply follow Ed’s and her lead in whom to kill.

That decided, Asteria once again climbed out of the hole, already feeling more practiced at performing the task than when this whole skirmish event had started. Then she proceeded to follow the pixie, close enough to keep Oberon just within her sight yet hopefully far enough that the opponents wouldn’t immediately realize there were other reinforcements. Once she was close enough to the battle to see both Jason, Oberon and the three enemy goblins, she veered off just a bit to the side, hoping to once again catch an assailant unaware. She aimed to jump out of a short dash directly at the weakest seeming goblin, one that was cowering in the back and clutching at a club and a torch, one that was also already injured. Whether Asteria managed to topple the bleeding goblin or just came close enough to bite at him, the Dire Rat intended to grab onto the closes part of him with her front paws and try out her new attack of simply tearing off several chunks of flesh in quick succession.

@Dealdric I just checked this out of curiosity, but I don't think so, no. Also, calling me out like this, when I didn't show any interest whatsoever - besides lurking for a short while - not a fan, tbh.

Asteria worked alongside Ed, copying the way he dug out small holes and practically planted the needles in the earth so only the sharp and poisoned tips peeked out, barely visible and certainly unlikely to be noticed by anyone who didn’t know what to look for or where. She realized the enemy was approaching but was a bit distracted because she was sure she saw a lumbering brute come to a stop still some ways ahead and wondered whether she and her companions should just run up and attack at this opportunity…But once Mother squeaked at them in alarm, she decided waiting in ambush was the better strategy. Surely, some of the goblins would want to reclaim their Bonfire, wouldn’t they? And when they rushed in to try and do so, many would be crippled or at least slowed down, and someone had to be here for that, so they could take the easy targets down.

With that in mind, Asteria crawled back into the fox-hole, positioning herself so that she would be able to jump back up and attack as soon as she needed. This time, she chose to focus on her hearing actively, hoping any sounds she might catch would clue her in to the situation better than the vague shapes she had seen earlier. She still kept her eyes open, just in case, hoping that doing so wouldn’t render the active part of her Beast Senses II useless. Once again, she tried to take deep calming breaths, but so as to not relax unduly (not that she imagine she could right now), thought about the various ways she might attack an enemy. She imagined scenarios with one or multiple goblins and tried thinking about what kinds of equipment they had been able to make in the time they had. They probably had something like clubs, maybe spears, and a way to make fire…She shivered thinking of that, but knew this was no time for fear. Perhaps it was unfortunate, but the only viable response in this situation was to fight. And kill. It couldn’t be that different from the time she had killed those other creatures for food. And then the goblins would see why messing with creatures that had the intelligence of humans was a mistake they should never even think of repeating!

Haaah, intro finally done, like 3 times as long as I had initially anticipated (and that without including any dialogue of Al and his family, which I wanted to do, but also didn't feel like writing XD), but done. If anyone wants Al to have sat next to them or if you feel like interacting...the offer's open. (Also, yep, I changed his colour code, I like this one better for Aelwin).
